An interesting debate took place in the
French Chamber of Deputies on the 10th
Sept. IN which Lafayette took part. At
the close of his speech, Lafayette ssid--
"The Emperor of Russia compared the
conduct of the insurgents Of Noyogorod
to that of the rebels of Poland and Of
France. You know how he has treated
the Polish rebels, and may easily Judge
what would be his treatment Of the
French rebels, if he had the means of
reaching them. therefore insist upon
the immediate recognition of Poland.
The most urgent step however, is to pre-
vent Prussia, from overwhelming Poland,
and therefore conjure the government
TO display the most determined resolution
on this point, and use towards the Prus-
sian cabinet the language which it could
not fail to comprehend in the first days
of the revolution, since that language
prevented it interfering in the affairs of
Belgium"

There's glory in the giant oak,
And rainbow beauty ia the smoke,
Where chrystal waters dash;

your paper, to the public. the entire

cesssry to make any other comment
than TO remark, that in all the various
notes received by he from the Presi
dent antecedent 10 that time, he had
uniformly addressed me as the Sec
rotary of the Treasury. The change
could not therefore TAIL to attract my
notice. and the pubic will Judge from

whether IT does not appear more proba

as standing IN a new relation TO the

they been exactly regular. Her nose
exceeded little the Grecian propor-
ton IN length. Her hair was very
