From the New York Journal Of Commerce.

The news from France by the last ar
rival, though not precisely such as could
have been wished. has produced no i'm
preston upon the stock market, or the
sales Of real estate. The feeling is strong
that the real difficulty is at ali end, and
that what remains. must and will be east
ly arranged, TO the satisfaction Of both
parties. If il be true that Mr., Livingston
is TO return to the United States in the
Constitution irigate, he may have reasons
for so doing, very different from those as
cribed TO him by the English papers,
Much OF what is contained in those pa
pers, and the French papers likewise, in
regard to the sayings. views, and intcn
tons OF Mr.. Livingston, we consider mere
gossip. For instance, we have too much
confidence in the discretion Of that gentle
man, to suppose that he would have haz
arded the expression Of an opinion that
Gen. Jackson would give no explanation
IN regard to his message. We advise PEG
pie not TO take up things on hearssy, but
move on calmly 10 their various callings,
with The confident expectation that the
little which remains in order 10 the resto
ration OF the two countries to their former
relations, will be speedily accomplished.
The idea is not TO be tolerated for mo
ment, that, after the progress which has
been made towards perfect reconciliation
the whole thing should be knocked in head
by mere matter of official etiquette
Gen jackson will not mar his reputation
by such consumate folly. Neither will
Louis Philippe.

upon our American claims in the Chamber
Of Deputies, the Prince de Brogie, in a
powerful, statesmanlike, and argumenta

al the same time produced a document

BEAUTY IN THE GRAVE.
On seeing an ancient Picture ora Beautiful Lady

)n seeing an ancient Picture Of a Beautiful Lad
By W. u. rAPPAN.
How loudly rang her ready praise
In her ancestral hall,
How beauteous at the revel, once
How graceful at the ball.
II matters not--the fair one now,
The idol Of the brave,
The pageant Of former hour,
Is Beauty in the grave.
How much admired for sparkling wit.
And priced for virtue true,
How by the multitude esteemed,
Beloved by the few;
II matters not-alike the same
To him, rs in the slave.
The sordd worm holds banquetting
On Beauty in the grave.
The well proportioned shape, the grace
OF woman's queenly tread,
The speaking eye, tho budding lip,
OF natures dewy red
The thousand witcheries, that still
Our warmest homage crave,
What are they in deaths arms, and what
Is Beauty in the gravel
Go ye to whom are faultless forms
And lovely features given.
To manifest that still below
Is something left Of Heaven
Go in humility forget
The charms ye cannot save;
Look hence little hour and see
Your Beauty in the grave.
And look upon the laughing earth,
Where spring in careless play
Puts forth her fairest blossoms, but
To deck them with decay,
And looks upon the face Of all
That's beautiful and brave,
On every blessing lent to man
Are traces Of the grave.
Yet gaze on one from whom that trace
May never pass away,
Though he corruption never saw,
Nor in its realm could stay,
And see in the immortal scars,
That may the sinner save,
The victory Of HIM who came
In Beauty from the grave.
