In the House Of Representatives on Monday,
the bill authorizing further subscription to the
stock of the Alexandria Canal Company, or
dered TO third reading at the last session, was
taken up and read a third time.
Mr.. Hardin hoped, he said, that the question
would not now be taken on this bill, as the
House, he presumed, was not prepared for it
We had already given a hundred thousand dol
lars to this object, and there was bill before
the House to give million more to the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal. The House was to de-
termine whether il would 60 on with the Wild
scheme of making a canal from Georgetown to
Alexandria, where nature had made the best ca
nal which could be wished for. How much 1t
would cost was unknown. A bridge, il was said,
would cost three millions, if made Of stone, and
the aQueduct on stone piers, might cost mil
lion or more. He never relied on estimates
He asked the yeas and nays on the question.
Mr.. Chinn was not disposed, he said, to- press
decision Of the question at this time. He mo-
we'd TO postpone the further consideration OF the
bill to this day three weeks, which was agreed

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 80, 1884

WASHINGTON D. c., Sept 80, 1884.
To the Editor of the ~ Y. Courier E Enquirer:
II will be remembered by you, if not by your
readers, that during the month of May last, the
President was furious against the French 60
yernment, for their noncompliance with the
treaty that they negotiated with us IN 1881. Eve.
nv body knows that they refused to pay the Dill
whichthe treasury department drew upon lheT,
and sold to the Bank of the United States. In
nv letters of the 18th and 18th of May, gave
YOU the details on this subject, and expressed
doubts as to the final adjustment OF this affair,
without there was, on the part OF our govern
ment. a change of the whole character OF the
negotiation. | commended that the French
Chambers had the right, as well as the porer to
refuse the appropriation, and tnat the french
ministers had not only informed MIR. Rives OF
this fact. but had expressed their apprehensions
that the Chambers would notsupply the money.
The plain truth is, and it ought not to be dis
guised from the people. the whole negotiation
was piece of quackery, intended for election
eering purposes. The treaty was, on our part,
bad treaty, and yet for the purpose OF laudlng
the diplomacy of our Executive, not only the
American, but the French people, and their
functionaries, have been made to believe that
we overreached them, and they now refuse &c
| fulfil the arrangement.
In my letter of the 14th of May, 1884, say
-" Homes are entertained here, that matters
"may yet be adjusted. 1t may be so; but dc
4" not think they will" And now, after the lapse
of nearly FIVE months, what are the prospects
regret to reply, very unpropitious.
have great reason to believe, that recon
despatches from France, are of a most unfaVo'
rabe character. 1t is said that the king gave
Mr. Livingston, personally, the strongest assur
ances that the necessary appropriations woult
be made, as soon as the Chambers convened
The elections had terminated in manner tina
seemed to justify the assurance. The adviccs
which have been received from our minister II
France, it is said, contain the unpleasant tidlngs
that Dupin and the ministry, when applied TO
on the subject actually refused to take any step
and declared themselves totally opposed to
fulilment of the treaty of 1881 fear these ru
mors are well founded, and that our merchants
have nothing to hope, until Congress shall deem
it expedient and proper to adopt some mea
sures having bearing on the case. The pro
liability is, that We are much worse situated II
reference to our affairs with France, than II M
treaty had been negotiated.

The Baltimore American gives an opinion
relative to the general style Of Willis, with
which we agree. N. p. Wis,-says the Anne
rican,-whose First Impressions" have add.
ed so much to the interest Of the New York Mir
ror for two years past, is in London writing for
the New Monthly. He is one Of the best mar
rators that has ever written in English or any
other language. Many of his descriptions are
exquisite pictures. He knows how to heighten
the reality with poetic cooring, and We suspect
that he draws upon his imagination occasional
ly to supply variety to incidents. We gre not
disposed to quarrel with him for this, any more
than we would with Scott for the rich invention
that gives such interest to his historical Novels
There is a luxuriance in Mr.. Willis's diction
and buoy ancy in his style that make his let
tiers delightful reading
