ONE DAY LATER.

By the ship Providence, arrived at Providence
from Liverpool, whence she sailed on the 9th
July, the editors Of the Providence Daily Adver-
aiser have received Liverpool papers of that date
They contain. however, no political news OF i'm
portance. We extract the following items:
From the Lirerpool Journal 9fJuty9.
PoL.Np.-The foreign news this week is brief
aud no, very important. The last accounts
from Poland merely confirm the favorable views
already before the public, and the position and
resUurces'oi the patriot army are said to have dis
posed the Emperor to listen to more moderate
counsel; his honor, it appears, is the only thing
that prevents him from abandoning the campaign
and that the gaining Of a battle would be follow
ed by the adoption OF measures OF Cancellation.
Other accounts, and we suspect the true ones
represent the Autocrat as more determined than
ever. and lest he should be frustrated BY the me
diation of France OF England, he has employed
Austria to prevent any such application. The
French, however, are likely to make represent
atoms that may alter the Emperor's tone.

After a debate Of several DAYS, the question
on which the assumption Of the throne BY Leo

played by the war party. The friends Of peace
and order, however, at length succeeded in gain

TBe French Caims.-The New York Amer''
can has the following interesting article on the
subject of the adjustment of our claims on France
The French. Claims, it may we believe now De
stated with confidence, have been settled, or ia
ther compromised, by our Minister IN France
Mr.: Riyes,-subject to the appreciation OF the
President and Senate.
The arrangement Of these long outstanding
claims has been effected manly, We are disposed
to think. by the untirng assiduity, perseverance
and zeal of Mr.. Rives, and though the sum Sc.
cured falls much short Of the just demands OF
Me country against France, it goes tar beyond
VIA, the French government expected. or intend
ed originally to pay. Without saying therefore,
that under no possible future circumstances more
m;sbt be obtained from France, we think 1t only

the actual condition Of things he has done we'll

TO be executed and forwarded TO Washington by
the packet of July 10, now daily looked for. The
sum stipulated to be paid is tceniyJ fce millions
of francs, with a supplement- of interest. which
will make the whole sum tweaty.eighi and a hayt
miHions-payab!e in six years. The claims OF
France upon the United States, including that OF
Beaumarchais, which has been estImate at live
millions, are brought down to. and are 20 be IL
quidated for, one and ahayf million Of francs.
France, likewise, gives up her claim under the
Louisiana treaty. A mutual reduction OF duties
upon certain articles of export from each coun-
try IS stipulated. On our Sea-lsland Cotton, the
present duty in France is to be reduced one hall
from 40 to 20 fir. the 100 kllogr. We IN like
manner are to reduce the duties upon French
wines,-to six cents per gallon for red wine I'D
casks, to 10 cents for white wine in casks, anu 10
% cents on both kinds in bottles.
Such we believe to be substantially the arrange
ment negotiated by Mr.. Rives-and closing as
it does all points in dispute between tins country
and France, we cannot but look upon 1t as a sa-
tisfactory one. With how much reason II is mus
to be looked upon may be gathered from the tact,
that the Commission appointed bv the french go
yernment, Of which Nj. Laihe was President
composed Of six members, undertook to Jasthy,
on principle, the whole system Of measures OF
the Imperial Government towards the United
States, by the aggrcssions of Great Britain on
the one hand, aud the conduct of the United
States themselves on the other. They SAID, thai
where this system was regularly applied, we are
entitled to no redress, and that it is only IN cases
of abus,ue or irregular application. that indem'
nifty is due; that but three classes OF our claims
are admissible, to wit: for vessels burnt at sea,
captures made before notice Of the existence oil
the DEGREES, aud such as were made after the l.'
of November, 1910. THE period fixed for their
repeaD and they indicated the sum Of ten millions
of francs as the fall extent of what we are emit
tied to claim. They decided unanimously the
Louisiana question against US. Such was the
| state of the negotiation as late as last April.

Knapp's Life Of Webster-The public have

L. Knapp is engaged in writing the life OF the
distinguished Eastern Senator, DANIEL WEB
srER. We learn that the work is in a state OF
great forwardness, and We are free to confess that
we wait for it with somewhat of impatience.-
The biographer has a noble subject before him;
but he is in all respects equal to the task. His
own genius, bright and elevated as it was
formed BY nature. and has been rendered by
cultivation. will kindle and glow with %increas-
ed fervor. as he advances in the patriotic record
of the splendid mental achievements of the orator.
in the Senate, and at the Bar; and we anticipate
a book that will win. and preserve, a high rank
in this department of American literature. As
a frontlspiece the book will be ornamented b. an
engraved portrait of the subject, from a sketch
BY rockingham. 1t is decidedly the best like
ness of Webster that we have seen-and we be-
lieve we are familiar with all that have been ia
