From the Paris Constitutional.

PARIS, March 2S.-It will be recollected that
the French Ministry fixed at twenty four mill
lions the amount Of the claims of the United
States Of North America, for vessels seized and
sold under the Republic. The Government has
not hitherto ventured to present to the Chambers
a treatv so Instantaneous to France. But the
Government of the United States has taken the
Ministers at their word. and il is affirmed that it
Yesterday caused a bill of exchange for four mil
lions to be presented by NJ. Rothschild, and that
the Treasury caused it to be protested. 1t is ad.
ded that Nj. Baguenault, who endorsed it, has
paid the amount to VI. Rothschild. This is a Sc
rious affair; for we much doubt whether the
Chamber will ratify, in 1885, a treaty which the
Government of the Restoration would never sign.

THE TARIFF.

The Senate, on Friday, proceeded to the con.
sideration of the bill to modify the acts imposing
duties on Imports.
After consider able debate, the question being
upon Mr.. Claws motion to amend the bill $50 as
to require home instead of foreign valuation,
after the year 1912
Mr.. Calhoun said he regretted that this amend
ment had been offered. but, as he had to choose
between it and the failure OF the bill. he had de-
termined to vote Tor il. He voted for 1t, howe.
yer. expressly on the ground, and with the de.
clara,ion first. that il should not be 50 constru-
ed as to require that the value should be ascer-
tanned by adding the amount OF the duty to The
value of the goods; and, second, that 1t should
not be so applied as to violate that principle of
the Constitution which requires that all taxes
and impos,s shall be uniform throughout the u.
States.
The question being taken on the amendment,
it was decided as follows:
YEAS-Messrs. Bell. Bib. Black, Calhoun,
Chambers, Cla>, CLAYTON, Ewing. Foot, Frelng-
huysep, Hill, Holmes, Johnston, King, Knight,

NAYS-Messrs. Benton. Buckner, Dallas,
Dickerson. Dudley, Forsyth, Grundy. Kane,
Robinson, Seymour. SiIsbee, Smith, Wassaman,
Webster. White. Wrisht-l6.
So the amendment was agreed to.
On the suggestion Of Mr. Tyler,
Mr.. Smith moved TO amend the bill in the Sc
cond section, by striking out the words at the
close Of the section, constituting the last para
graph.
The section reads as follows, and the part
