 FRANCE. ...

De6ates in the Cham6ers.---In the succeed ing columns of this paper, the reader will find ample reports of the important debates
 in the French Chambers, on the 27th and
 28th of January, to which we briefly refer
 red last evening. We can not omit in this
 place, an expression of our unfeigned sur
 prise, and very deep regret. at the language
 held by Gen. Lafayette, in the course of that debate. It is far from being the language of wisdom and discretion which we should have expected from such a source; and we can now very clearly perceive why he was driven from
 his post as commander-in-chief, by ministry so determined to preserve the peace of Flu rope. The counsels of Lafayette, would be but a new edition of the hrohagandism of the former revolution. Had they been pursued, the sky of Europe would ere this have been reddened by coniagration, and the soil drench- ed with blood The debate to which we refer was resumed on the 29th, when

SALvERTE rose and said, whenever the question of war has been presented at this tribune, have pronounced for peace. cannot coincide in the opinion that those who ind any thing in the conduct of Ministers to complain of, are anxious to stir up war against all Europe. As to the explanations of Ministers, do not consider them satisfacry France is free and independent Government; and the answer that Napolean made to Pow CT is well known:-" It is as though they re- cognized the sun at monday" The motive is the principle of the Holy Alliances league of Kings against the nations. But, says the Minister, it is France alone that we should look to. and her interests alone that we should do not see in this reason for not recognising Belgium.

Its responsibility, after all, is wholly exter- nal. The pages are but half filled, and pre- sent lank and meagre aspect, reminding the reader of stretched pamphlet. If the good acts of MT Clay are all recorded, his friends must be disappointed. By a strange neglect, one of the most important incidents in his life is entirely omitted, viz. the bargain with MT Adams. This we trust will be sup piled in another edition, in case another should be requird. The work, on the whole, falls far short of the promises made at the time subscriptions were obtained. It is a decided take ina sort of wooden nutmeg affair." The appendix contains an account of MT Claws difficulties with MT Randolph, and, as a matter of course, the first is lauded and the latter condemned throughout. As speci- men of the blind adoration which is paid to this sublunary deity of earthly formation, we give the following:-"Therew was ever some. thing in MT Clay's eye, before which his (Mr Randolph's. spirit qualed and blanched like a frightened thing. It is said to be in the or der of nature, that even the fierce crest of the wild Cat, covers before the majesty of a God-like face." This is all very fine, but unluckily, the face furnished by the publish CTS, at the title page, does not at all answer the description; the countenance of our - youngest apprentice is altogether more pre- possessing. One extract more, and the last; the account of the duel. "In due time the parties fired, and luckily for both of them, or at least, for MT Clay, MT Randolph's life was saved by his gown. This unseemly gar- ment constituted such vast circumference, that the locality of "the thin and swarthy senator, was al least, matter ofv very vague conjecture. MT Clay might have as well fired into the outspread top of an oak, in the hope of hitting bird that he supposed to be snug ly perched somewhere among the branches. His ball hit the centre of the visible object, but Randolph was not there, and of course the shot did no harm, and no good. After the first discharge, MT Randolph, by firing in the air, showed his disinclination to con tinue the fight, and is now living, to fight ano- ther day" MT Clay's shot, in this instance, it appears, did not take effect, and did nc harm, and no good. Such has been. and such we trust, will ever be the result of all shots fired at MT Randolph by his opponents, from Henry Clay down to I'ristram Burgess

Representatives, for President, had taken place, and while MT Crawford was prostra- ted by disease, Gen. Jackson was prevailed upon to pay visit to him, as an earnest that he was willing to forget the dissensons which had produced enmity between them. There was, however, no explanations or conversa- tions with regard to the causes which had se- parated them. The meeting was in the pre- sence of a number of friends, and marked, on the part of MT Crawford, by the deepest sensibility.
 By the recent letter, received by General Jackson from MT Crawford, a state of facts was presented, going to show on the one hand, that the General had long condemned in his heart an innocent man for the efforts made to destroy his character as patriot, and tarnish his laures as a soldier. On the other hand one whom he supposed always to have been friend, and his most zealous vindicator in this particular instance, stood charged with having been the man who impeached him in the Cabinet for violation of orders. If this were the true state of things, the General felt that he owed to his own and the feelings of MT Crawford, reparation for having wrong ed him in his opinions, and felt bound also to reject from his mind any conclusion as to the couduct of his long professed friend, MT Cal houn, until he had an opportunity for expla- nation. For these reasons Mir Crawford's s letter was submitted to him by the President. The result is known to the public.
 There is one circumstance, however, con- nected with the course pursued by MT Cal houn in the Cabinet, which has not been per oCntcu u ,,iS P,,,t:~, ----I -tich has seryed to embitter the regrets felt by the President on this subject. At the moment when he pro posed to call court of inquiry to blast the re- putation of the General, MT Calhoun had good reasons to suppose that he had sacr- feed his life in giving effect to the objects of the administration. 1t was known that his constitution had sunk under the fatigues and privations the campaign, and that his troops were bearing him towards his home, which he never expected to reach, through wilder ness which furnished neither succor nor shel- ter to him in his cnfeebled and worn down condition. The rapid decline of his health was known at Washington as we'll as in Ten nessee, and from the circumstances in which he was placed, it was not expected, by any of his friends, that he could survive. What must be his feelings when he now reflects that the man in whom he put all his trust, did, at this time, originate secret proposition, for political purposes, based or charge against him, which, if he had died, would have left a blot upon his fame, and handed him down to posterity as one regardless of the orders of his Government, and ready to violate the Constitution of his country?

To my letter of the 25th of February, I received MT Calhoun's reply, dated March 2d, of which 1 feel authorized to publish such parts at least as are in reply to my ap- plcation. This right conceive results from MT Calhoun's having referred to this corres- pondence in connexion with the "plots" and their "sontrivers," without stating what its character was, and thus rendering 1t necessa- " for me, in vindication of myself, to give It to the public. The information had receiv- ed in reply to my inquiry, was admitted oy him not to be confdentially disclosed to me, and had so treated it. He could not after wards clothe it with that character; nor can so much of his communication as in reply to my reouest to be informed whether had cor rectly repeated his answer or hot' oe oohSi- dered as confidential.
 THere follows an extract from the Letter of MT Calhoun, already and very recently published.
 The residue of this letter, with the other parts of the correspondence, are not consider cd as important to this discussion. They Will be published, however, if MT Calhoun wishes it. The letter from MT Forsyth to me was not seen by any person until the autumn of 1928, when it was read by Major Lewis at my house.
 The circumstances under which copies of the letters written by Mir Crawford and by MT Forsyth, were communicated to the Pre- sjdent, are so fully and frequently stated in .ne ereotissPo"s-N"e. as to renderi unnecessa- ry for me to repeat tn, .,
 When the President. wnu ,laa. l presume, been informed oft import, expressed wish to see MT Crawford's statement, yielded to his request to communicate it to him, first ob- taining the consent of the writer to do so, from the manifest propriety of the course he proposed to pursue, and the more readily, as an opportunity would thus be afforded to Mir Calhoun to disprove statement so directly opposed to his own, or to explain his version of the same transaction.
 l never saw MT Crawford's letter to MT Forsyth, until after it was sent to the Presi- dent and to MT Calhoun.
 In this effort to vindicate myself from groundless suspicion, have confined myself to those topics which belong to that vindica- tion alone. JAMES A. HAMILTON.

 On this subject MT Jefferson has expressed his opinion in strong terms, in his correspond ence with distinguished citizens of Virginia = To Gen. Breckenridge he writes thus, on the subject of schools in that State sNobody can doubt my zeal for the general instruction ct the people. Who first started that idea. may surely say myself. Turn to the bill in the revised code, which drew more than forty years ago, and before which, plan for the education of the people generally, had never been suggested in this State." Again, he writes thus to J. C. Cabell ssSurely Governor Clinton's display of the gigantic eff forts of New-York towards the education of her citizens, will stimulate the pride, as well as the patriotism of our Legislature to look to the reputation and safety of their own country; to rescue it from the degradation of becoming the Barbary of the Union, and of falling into the ranks of our own negroes To that condi- ton 1t IS fast sinking.

 From indications in the newspapersi it seems more than probable that MT Calhoun in- tends to be candidate for the Presidency in opposition to Gen. Jackson. Coalitions are hnted at as about to take place between MT Calhoun and MT Clay, also between the for mer and MT Webster. But we are at loss to conceive how the friends of the Vice Pre- sident in South Carolina, with principles dia metrcally opposite to those of Clay, Web to coalesce with them; and wiifdmat ut ssSssht sus.s union where can MT Calhoun loak for effec- tive support beyond the limits of his own State! A letter from Washiigto published Tn one of the Charleston papers, says indeed that 1t IS thought he would get the vote of Virginia and Georgia-but we believe no such thing. The Fice-President certainly has a number of very warm friends in this State: they belong however to that party which has generally been in the minority-heretofor they were equally the friends If Gen. Jack son and of MT Calhoun; but since the cores pondence was made public, they appear to be rather undecided with which they will take sides-their inclination is thought to be in fa- vor of MT Calhoun; yet with all the efforts of party management, the whole weight of the minority could not be turned against Gen. Jackson, and if 1t could, MT Calhoun would profit nothing by it.
 As to Virginia, the Richmond Enquirer of the 9th says, she C she was never stronger for A. Jackson than she is at this moment: Around him she will rally-and support him with all her strength, let the struggle come when 1t may"

MIR CRAWFORD charges MT Calhoun with being a nulliher and neither MT Calhoun, nor any of his adherents, ready as they have shown themselves to be, to repel what they conceive to be injurious imputations on their patron have deniedit, so far as has come to cur knowledge. Is it possible that Mir Calhoun is not only nullfer, but at the head of the nuliiers? If it be sc, there is, in that single fact, strong reason to suspect the doctrine to be all wrong, abjure it, and call 1t heresy.- But we will wait while yet.
 Verify here is a revolution in the wheel of politics for you. We, who have been, during the whole of our editorial lives, opposed to MT Calhoun and his doctrines, are now found side by side with him, If he is accused truly, in the doctrine of nullification--so called though ours is not exactly the same sort of a thing that goes by that name in South Caroli- na. And the ancient adversaries of MT Craw- ford in this State, those who have been un- ceasing in their opposition to him, in season and out of season, are now found by his side in the doctrine of anti-nullifcation !! Verify this is a bran new predicament for us all to be in. It almost induces us to ask, as an ac- quaintance of ours once did an eminent law yer :-"If you give man all the appellations in the world, and take from him his consgn- ment, what will he offer at next"
 There arc others, it seems, in the same condition with ourselves; on other points though, as is shown by the following extract. We reckon we had better all wipe cut and begin anew.

Who would have believed it? We shuddcr at the touch, and must mount the fence. We have a great anxiety to oust Gen. Jackson, but really we cannot labor with Duff Green.- No--no--any thing but that. If Duff Green will persist in abusing MT Van Buren and op- posing General Jackson, we shall begin to think that we are all wrong. There certain ly must be mistake in the matter.
