THE French QUEsTIoN.-Several state
nents (says the N. Y. Journal of Commerce)
have lately been put forth by different news
papers, purporting to exhibit the present att-
tudc of our relations with France; but we
have reason to think they are all Incorrect
The following is our version the matter:-
Since the passage Of the Indemnity Bill
with the clause requiring satisfactory ex-
planaton," nothing has been done on the part
OF our government, except the act Of approx
ing Mr.. Livingston's last letter to the French
Minister. The President expressed his ap-
probation of that letter to Mr.. Pageot, the
French Charge des Affairs here, and further
protested against the construction put upon
the Message by some of the members of the
French Chamber. Mr.. Pageot informed his
government officially ofths approval and dis
claimer by the President Since thai time,
no communication has been received by Mr..
Pageot, or by our government decisive of
The course which France intends to pursue.
The French Government has not yet intima-
ted Its satisfaction, or its dissatisfaction, with
the "explanaton" rendered by the President.
1t is not true that draft has been offered
and protested for any portion of the money.
1t is conjeci,ved that the President, unless
before Congress meets he receives an inti-
nation of the readiness of France to pay the
2o,OOO,OOO francs, upon the "expanation"
rendered through Mr.. Pageot, will speak to
Congress on this subject in terms of a severe
character.
Admitting this to be correct statement of
facts, the reader is as competent to form an
opinion OF the final issue as we are. Every
thing will depend upon the temper of the par
ties. 1t is not to be denied that both nations
are little fretted by past events; and il would
not be difficult, by bad management, TO get
them into war. Neither Of them is in a
condition to bear so much from the other as
they would have done year ago. But on
the other hand, each must be aware of the
dc plorable consequences Of a war to itself.
whatever they may be to the other. Under
these circumstances it is to be hoped that
moderation and forbcarance will still prevail
in the councils Of both nations, and that the
state OF uncertainty in which we have lived
for the past twelve months, may be speedily
at an end. Ii is possible that before the o.
pening of Congress, information may be re-
ceivcd from the French Government, that
they are satisfied with the explanation already
given. If SO, all is well. II not then the
question assumes a more serious aspect
especially'if the tone of the Message should
be as severe rs perhaps it may be.
The Message which may be presumed to
be now in course Of preparation, is, under

VIOLENT GALE. The Charleston Is. C.j
papers contain numerous details of damage
done by hurricane that happened there on
the 29th ult. The tide rose to great height,
and made sad ravages on the wharves. II
seems to have been confined to narrow vein;
as it was not felt at Georgetown, and the
schooner Ellen, which arrived from st Mary's
had fair Winds and experienced no bad wealth
er on her passage.
The gale was felt in the immediate vicinity
of the bar, but was not felt by vessels forty
miles out at sea. The entire destruction Of
property in the city and harbor, it is said can
not fall short of 100000.

BIoGRAPHY OF COMMODORE PERRY.-The
Buffalo Journal Of the 2Sth ult. says, awe
speak advisedly when we say that correct
Biography of Commodore Perry, from exist
ing public documents, and authentic informa-
ton from his friends and companions in arms,
is about to be produced At this the nation
has a double motive for rejoicing; first. that
honor is to be bestowed where it belongs; and,
secondly, that the truths thus developed will
consign to merited and enduring infamy, the
name Of that base miscreant, Elliott who has
lately figured so largely in the double capac-
ty of sycophant and calumniator."

all the circumstances, or is to be, one of the
most important which ever was penned. Its
consequences will be momentous, either for
veal or wo. In the mean time let us hope
that the same good Providence which has
protected US hitherto, and from feeble colo
ny has made us great nation, will still con-
tnue to us the blessings of PEACE. Sure
we are that nothing but the most glaring in
fatuation can bring war ont Of the present
controversy. So far as it is matter of dol
lars and cents, it surely is not worth fighting
about, since we know that in attempting to
recover by force the S5,000,000 due us, we
should expend $l0O,O00,OOO. And so far as
it is question Of national honor, one would
think that way could be found,t to adjust OPP
posing claims, without a resort to so dreadful
an alternative as war. That honor which
can only be healed by blood, we fear is hon
or not worth preserving.

FRoM MExIco.-The annexed late intelli-
gence is from the New Orleans Bee of the
23d ult. 1t will be seen that centralism, or
in other words despotism, is in rapid prog
ress.
MExico.-The brig Volta, Capt. Kennedy,
arrived yesterday in 6 days from Vera Cruz;
and brought us journals of that place up to
the 18th inst. We do not perceive in them
any account of the central constitution hav-
ing been discussed or adopted by the cham
bcrs Of congress. But it appears certain that
the federal republic has been dissolved; and
that executive officers Of the Mexican states
have been subjected to the appointment of
the central government. The local legisla-
lures of the states have been annihilated by
q formal decree issued under the authority
of the acting president; and sanctioned by the
congress.

FALL RIVER AND PROVIDENCE RAIL
RoAD.-By reference to the proceedings OF
our Legislature, it will be seen that an act
of incorporation has been granted to the Fall
River and Providence Rail Road Company.
The conditions of the charter, we learn are
satisfactory to the petitioners, and we under
stand the work will commence with as little
delay as possible. The route contemplated
will commence in this state near Barnaby's
corner, in the east part of this town, and will
run through our village, north Of the Ladies
Seminary. We understand the corporation
will purchase Kelley's bridge, which runs
across Warren River, and also Bowen's
bridge in Darlington. The stock in this road
has already been taken up, and we hope the
enterprising proprietors will reap rich re-
ward. A branch, we presume, will ere long
be made to Bristol, and eventually be extend
cd to Newport.-[ Warren Star.

VERMoNT-'THE CONTEST ENDEp.-At the
63d ballot for governor in the joint committee
of the Vermont Legislature on Monday, the
vote stood for Palmer lO2, Bradley 63, Paine
40, Jennison 8. On the 63d ballot, Mr..
Brewster moved to adjourn the committee
until Tuesday, but the motion was withdrawn
at the request Of Mr.. Fitch, who moved that
the committee be dissolved. The motion to
dissolve prevailed-ayes 1l3, noes 100. So
Mr.. Jennson is likely to remain for some time
yet in the gubernatorial chair.-Bost. .qilas.
Mr.. Jennison is the lieutenant governor;
and, no choice ex-governor having been made.
he will be the acting governor for the current
year.

I Massachusetts Election.-It is gratifying
says the New Bedford Mercury of yesterday
to turn from the Notifying results of tricke-
ry and misrepresentation as displayed in the
election in our own county, to the returns
which greet us from abroad. In Boston, as
we learn from the Atlas, the election result
ed in clear majority to Mr.. Everett of over
l4O0 votes; exhibiting at least that majority
of pure VINO VoTEs. The votes cast for
Governor Armstrong were about 500. The
Abolition ticket, bearing the name of Mr..
Van Buren's friend, Gen. Bancroft, as the
candidate for Governor, received about 20
votes.
The same artifces which have proved SO
successful in misleading the unsuspecting a.
mong US, were there resorted to il vain, and
the Glamour in behalf of leading aristocrat
as The Poor Mans Friend coult not mis-
lead the intelligent voters of Boston.
Every trick and artifice (says the Atlas
which the ingenuity Of our enemies could de-
wise were resorted to in the hope Of embar.
RAISING and dividing the party. There were
halt dozen different tickets at the polls,
most Of which bore the names Of the leading
dlsorganlzers. There was the regular Jack
son Democratic Ticket-the ReformerS and
lWorkingmen's Ticket-the Free Bridge and
Non Imprisonment Ticket-the Armstrong
Ticket-the Abolition Ticket-and the Pure
Wing Ticket; with still more numerous sub
divisions. Some of the Armstrong tickets
were printed by the enemy, with the substit-
ntion OF various names for the regularly nom
mated candidates. All the disorganisers'
tickets bore the name of Mr.. Alexander II.
Everett, who seems to have suddenly en-
deared himself to all the tag-rag and bob tail
fragment parties that are striving in atfcc.
tionate brotherhood for the defeat of the
Wings. But over all the combined forces of
faction, the Uhigs hare molly triumphed and
have not only given Mr.. Edward Everett
handsome majority, but have probably elected
their entire Senatorial and Representative
Ticket
The result was not unexpected. but it is
not on that account the less acceptable. 1t
Is an earnest of what our friends have done
throughout the State. 1t furnishes addition
Al testimony to the good faith and political
integrity of the People of Massachusetts. 1t
proves that they still remain true to their old
principles and old advisers; that corrupting
eagerness for the SpoILs has not seduced
them from the path of manly honor; that they
look with the same indignation as in past
years on the mlsrule of the ascendant Dynas-
ty, and that they will never abandon the
Steaaiast and ,oeH pyineipied Opposition which
hey have hitherto maintained.

24th ult from which we copy the following
important intelligence
awe have been permitted to read private
letter dated Brazoria, 9th October, in which
it is stated that the inhabitants of that place
are every day alarmed by the Mexicans; that
some two or three hundred of the latter had
proceeded to Gonzales, about $50 miles dis
tant, and demanded the arms and ammuni-
ton of the Americans; and, on being refused,
they attacked the town, but acre repulsed with
the loss Of 30 or 40 killed or ,comded, none
being killed on the part Of the Texans. The
writer states that there are about 500 Tex
ians in the interior. battling with the Mexi-

remarks the Inteligencer, to see with how
great convenience to the public generally,
and without prejudice to its Stockholders, the
Bank Of the United States, is Withdrawing,
one by one, its branches in different parts of
the Union, and closing its affairs preparatory
to the termination of its charter. For the
ease with which this operation has so far been
effected, much is due to the financial skill and
discretion of the government of the Bank.
