A writerin Savannah paper. complains that the
doors OF one of the churches in that city, " have
been closed during the summer, that the pastor
may esJoy himself in the more genial climate OF
The north" He adds" 1t is Notifying to think
upon our dependent situation, and it is more sur
prisng that some exercise of that pride which is so
conspicuous in the people of the SOUTH should not
be directed to its proper source, and at once cut off
that trade in pine boards parsons and other notions
which is so lucratvely driven with northern
brethren. The question is not, what COED to the
cause of religion can do by going to Savannah !?
but the calculation is-how much money can make
by spending few months there, and enjoying the
kindness and hospitality of that people Ia there
little piey at the south, that cannot get gentle
men Of the ministry to remain wih as through good
and evil! There are many win venture TO say for

SO selfish or mercenary, and who both by precept
and example, would lure to brighter worlds and

Commercial Convention arith Fraace.-

The following article is from the /" Journal des
Debals," a semi official paper, of7th Nov introduce
ing some remarks from an American paper in ia
YOUR OF the convention concluded last SUMNER
" We unite in the wishes ofthe American editor, .,
(hat this convention might cement more firmly the
good understanding between the two countries
" and believe we may announce that M. Melville
IS charged by his Majesty to put here in Paris the
finishing stroke to that work SO happily commenced
at Washington and to regulate, in concert with tb.
plenipotentiary of the U. States, all matters oil
interest to the commerce of both nations and par
cnarly the difficulty resulting from the non erecu-
tionof the 9Th article Of the Louisiana treatn, al
matter OF the deepest Importance TO our commerce 81
This article has we confess, not little excited
our surprise, and the more so as we learn. wha,
until now we were Ignorant of, that the commercial
convention. which was said to have been so highly
acceptable to the French King, has not act been fat
Jt'a b. a'm. On its receipt in France, it was re.
terred as we are informed by our letters from Paris
to the various Chambers of Commerce, and thew
have objected to several of its provisions, and the
chamber Of Havre particularly protests against the
additional article allowing drawback of the discr-
mnating duty on produce imported in American
ships, IN proportion to the value of French goods
exported in the same IA this article, however.

might be ratified or not, at the pleasure 81 either
party, wthou, affecting the treaty in other respects,
1--we are at loss for the motives which have render
ed the French King SO tardy in his decision. 1t
may, however, perhaps be explained by the above
article from the Journal des Debats, and it may be
respected that this government will enter into
negotiation concerning this famous 9th article Of
The Louisiana treaty, the more readily in order to
obtain a ratification of the commercial convention
Ifthis be the policy of France, trust it will be
defeated; for in our judgment they have no more
claim to avail themselves now Of the benefit ofthis
9th article following them for stipulated time

ply than any other nation would have.
