FRANCE AND HAITI.

The editors ofthe New York Courier have received the Port au Prince Tele- graph of the I2th June, containing the correspondence between the ConsUi General of France and the Govern ment, in relation to the existing difficult ties between the two countries.
 By letter of the 2d June, the Con- sul General M. Mollicn, requires to know from the President whether he willing to rii.tiiifi rii.ttiifyi ."o treaties signed st Paris on the 2d April, and states his in- ability to alter their condition i'll any way. He asks an answer to forward 1t 10 France by II. piehea, in the fsieate La Junon. The Secretary General, in reply to the 4th June, says, the Presi- dent has determined not to ratif them, and that the motives of his refusal will be communicated to the French Gov ernmentb by despatciies transmitted tliifo the mediumof NJ. pichon.
 The Consul General on the same day answers that as the motives of this refu- sal cannot in any way be admitted by France, M. Pichon will not take charge of the despatches, and that the Presi- dent viii please to find another oppor- unity to forward them.
 lie concludes by recommending to the protection of the President, such

 The value of sieam navigation to the United States, and particularly to the great valley of the Mississippi, Is lncal- culable-it defies the power oi ealeula- ton. We doubt whether tine cltizens ot the United States, whosduiy apPfe- eiate its importance, would be willing to part with 1t fer the amount oi the whole debt of Great Britain, ef e}ght hundred millions of pounds steriifeg, and Iet the children ot Fulton, 10 whose genius and enterprise our country IS indebted for it, are suffered to pine III iHdigenee and obseurityi Such IS the gratitude of republics!. How different is the policy of Great Britain toward her public benefactors Her Afkwright an obscure barber, for his invention ot a .eotton.spiuning jenny, was rewarded by government not only with prineely l fortune, but title of nobility. And yet steam navigation is of vastly greater importance to our country, and to the world, than the spinning jenny.

 Dfstresses in Ire7aad.-!ti is with the
 most painful feelings we call the atten- ton of our fellow citizens to the hapless condition of the peasantry of the sister country. We will not stop to enquire into the eaases which have operated to impend over our miserable brethren the horrors ofa calamity more terrible than even the scourge ot the sword or the pestilenee; but we would exhort our readers to be .promptin staying the sufferings which q scarcity ofpfovisions, already approaching to famine, is rap idly spreading throughout the western districts. Already many lives have fallen victims to starvation, and the ae- counts represent some thousands to be reduced to state so debiltated as to render the efficacy of nutriment ques- tionable, even if 1t were afforded them.
 Cholera Ma5us.- letter received Ill London from St. Omer, states that symptoms Of that dreadful disease, the Cholera Morbus, have appeared among some English families in5 town. We trust our Ministers will take every pre- caution to keep the borrid disease on the other side ot the channel.-Lopfon .lius.

Cohscripts and recruits now drilling and moving to their res peetive stations, 97,000. The national guards of France, all now fully armed and under arms, are said to amount to 750,e00. One million is the round number returned, or rather estimated, from written earolmehts, but under stand the actuaistrength IS what have giveil.--Fifoas c Correspondent 9 Ase 1 Isnaes.
 Beriin, .Hqy 25.-Prlsate letters from Brody say that the Odessa mail had not arrived in that place inconsequence of an insurreetion at INiminietz fodol- ski. This report has been the effects of depressing the Russian funds here.- The threat of coniiscating tire property of those nobles of i'russian Poland who
 nave joined their countrymen in the l glorious struggle against Russia, is like lly to prove nearly a deadletter, as near l ly all of them have taken the precau-
 ton Of mortgagiug their land, either
 really or fictitiousls, to the utmost pos
 sible extent.
 Our State Gazette of yesterday even- ing contained the Russian account oi I the successful mannerin which Gener- als Chrzanowski and Romarino have ] forced their way to Zamosc, in order to Boppose General Rudiger, who, by the failure of Dwcrnicki's expedition, was lleft without an opponent. From the Russian account, the Polish General:
 appear to have suffered severely. 1 General Kreutz estimated their loss
 on the 9th and 7th of May, at about
 s,000 men; whereas, from the Polish
 bulletin, written with every appearance
 of frankness, Chrzanowski's corps in- tlicted severe loss upon the Russians and brought upwards of 500 prisoners Al

 silk.-We visited yesterday the silk establishment of Mir. Duponeeau and Mir. Garche, in Chesnut street near Se- cond, and were astonished at the vast number of worms which were feeding and spinning. One circumstance was mentioned to us, that is worthy ofpotIee. Last summer,a number of eocoons were laid ;;s~aJj iii the saffesittioss !!lat tho worm was killed; but in a short times the animal in it's winged state worked its way through them, and as they were near the north window, they tss.sss tl,eir station in the sill of the Y ,id.,u. and on the out side; here they laid their eggs. Nc farther netiee was taken of ssheEa until this spring, when. 10 the astonisll- ment oi tae people about the building, these these eggs that had been exposed to all lpe severity of tho winter, matched, ana Mr. Duponeeaa in order to carry GU. the experiment caused a number o' worms to be pufo the mulberry trees, in the yard of Mr. Desauque, in Second street; there they fed upon tbe leaves, grew rapidly, and yesterday severa were spinning on the branches, iil P tho intention of Mir.

Y ss;tife itft- tofofe noticed in our paper, on inlorma- ton derived from others. 4 consider able part Of that tribe is literally in starving condition. Government could now succeed in sending of large part of them, as they would doubtless con sent to emigrate for he purpose of pre- serving life. Thus the policy of remoy- ing the Indians 10 the westward might be partially effected, while at the same time the cause of humanity would be subserved. This is the only way per haps ill which the President would be authorised to afford them relief. To see.a whole people almost destitute of food-the lncessant cry of the emaeiat- ed creatures being bread tbreadt t-is be. yond description distressing. The exs. tenee ef many Of the Indians is proloag. cd by eating roots and the bark of trees. The berries of the India or China tree of last years growth, were ate by them as long as they lasted--nothing that can afford nourishment is rejected, however offensive it may be. Nor can there be, to the suffering of this wretched peo- pie, mitigation or limit short of deaths or the humane intervention of our Gov ernment. But ffe# o ttEEiai1i them oi t tiie sti s,t,i ders of this State have planted corn, be- cause they had none togplant.

 Mrs. Poison, who resides in Cherry Street, was bitten Oil Tuesday morning, the l1th inst. On the 10th and I7th, considerable pain was felt by her in her hand, extending to the shoulder. On the evening of the I7th, decided sym toms of Hydrophobia supervened; such as horror of liquids, particularly water. She attempted to bite all who approach ed her, tore the pillows and bed clothes with her teeth, and threw outlarge quan- titles of frothy mucus from her mouth, barking and bowling like dog. She frequently complained of thirst and cal led for drink, but when presented thrust it from herself with yiolence.- Paroxysms occurred during the night, atintervais of 20 or 30 minutes, which continued through the the following day. The next day she had but five, the day after but two, and for the last two days. she has been in 2 fair way @of recovery.
