THE FRENCH TREATY.

THE FRENCH TREATY.
We lind in the proceedings Of the French
Chamber Of Deputies Of the 1lth June. the fol,
lowing in relation to the indemnity to be paid
this country according to the terms OF the late
French Treaty:
:. The Minister of France read and laid on
the table the treaty recently concluded between
France and the United States of America. Inc
Chamber ordered it should oe printed aud dlstri
5uted among the bureaus. Ghe President: ms
treaty ought to undergo rigorous exam'nanon
A number of documents aud reports IN re'ation
10 il are in existence. | make this commun'ca'
non to the Chamber in order that they may cause
the contents Of these documents and reports to be
communicated to them"
This is all; but as we perceive it is stated that
the Chamber will probably have voted the oudS'
ct before the 18th June, and that the session Will
close on the 4th or 9Th July, the subject Will no
doubt shortly afterwards have been fully discuss
ed. and as the ministers have hitherto carried
their measures by large majorities, we presume
they will have no difficulty in obtaining the ap-
preparation rendered necessary by the treaty
~hich they have negotiated.

ell, however, from the effects OF his Northern
tour. He will live there in great retirement, and,
if no public duty calls him TO Washington, will
probably remain enjoying the benefits OF the sea

A daring attempt vas made last week to enter
dwelling house in this town, BY means OF lad
der placed against chamber window in the Sc
cond story. The noise made alarmed some OF the
family, and the villains fed, leaving the ladder
behind them.
An effort was also made last week to break
into a store on King street.
Mr.. McCarty's nomination to the Executive
Chair of his native State, is well received iu Lou
doan, Fauquier, Frederick, and Jefferson. The
Warrenton Spectator says:
"Mr McCarty made the very best speech
against notification and secession in the last Leg
islature; and as to 6rmness and independence

celled By no one"
The Charlestown Free Press says:
(" His talents are certainly Of a high order;
but differing, as he does, in political sentiment
with a majority of the people OF Virginia, his
chance Of success, for the Office named, is by no
means fiatterng. We dissent from many Of his
VIEWS of constitutional law, but most cheerfully
accord to him the possession of those manly and
frank attributes of character which his friends as
cribe to him. He does, indeed, deserve, not
only the affectionate regard Of his friends, but
the 60 respect and esteem Of his political oppo-
nents."
