II appears, by the last arrivals at New York

on French vessels arriving IN our ports, has caus

tory system, "the result OF which might shew

Minister Of Foreiga Relations gave no intima-
ton Of his ideas OF the course proper 10 be pur-
sued, but stated that this Government had con-
suited all the Chambers OF Commerce IN France
on the general subject Of the restrictive duties Of
the two nations; that answers from all Of them
had not been received, and that the opinions
which had reached the Government, were differ.
ent in purport. memb,r OF the Opposition,
Mr.. Cassimir Perrier, charged the mischief Of
act upon the iliiberai, improvident system OF
the Ministry, and called for plan Of compro-
mise and Cancellation. The merchants Of Havrs
had addressed a petition to the Chamber OF Dep
utles, praying that body to take the new Ton
page question into consideration, and "adopt
such conciliatory measures as would tend to es-
tablsh fair equilibrium, aud to preserve on an
equitable footing the French commercial rela
tons with nation more friend than a rival"
Long interviews-no doubt on this subject-are
said 10 have been held between our ambassador
Mr.. Gallatin, and the French Minister for For
sign Affairs. From all that at present appears,
we would say that there is likelihood Of salts
factory adjustment. Our law, just IN its princi-
pie, was, however, harsh and negotiable IN that
provision which prescribed its going into opera
