MOST IMPORTANT FROM
FRANCE.


We are enabled to say, on the authori-
ty of one OF our most respectable com
mercial houses, that letter from Lon
don, dated October 28th, received yes
terday, by the Josephine: states that a
formal demand had been made by our
Charge d'Ailairs on the French Govern
ment, for the payment Of the instalmcnts
due the United States, as settled by the
Indemnity Treaty. That a long confer
ence in consequence was held between
the President, of the Council, the Duke
de BRoGnE, and the Minister Of FL
nance, MIR HUMUNs, and that on the 26th
refusal was communicated TO our
Charge and full mud explicit eXplana-
ton Of the Presidents message requlr-
ed
The Philadelphia Evening Star ofyes-
terday has the following
Raiher squaliy-An order has been
received from the Secretary of the Navy
for opening in this city a naval rendez,
vous for the establishment of seamen
We understood from a gentleman con-
nected with the Navy Department that
the order embraced the recruiting not on
ly Of thorough seamen-but also ordinary
scamcn-boys and landsmen. 1T is well
known that recruiting has been going ON
moderately for some time past, but this
was all in the usual course of things, and
none but thorough bred seamen were ta-
ken.
The express by the Francis lst, proba-
bly, reached Washington on Sunday eve-
ming, and if the above order is predicatcd
on the dispatches received from MIR.
Barton, our Charge de Affairs at Paris,
we confess the prospect of the continu-
ance of pacific relations with France is
considerably diminished. The anxiety to
see the Presidents message has been not
little increased by the reception Of
the above order from the Navy Depart
ment.
The following paragraphs, confirming
that Of the Courier, are from London
paper Of the 29th October.
Paris, Oct. 27.-On Sunday there
was long conference between the min
lister of Finance and M. de Broglie, in
consequence of visit made by the
Charge d'Afiairs of the United States to
the president of the council. 1t was SAID
that nj. Humunn persisted in resolving
not to make any payment without obtain
ing clear and absolute satisfaction. Csil-
rier Francaise.
There can be no doubt that Mr. Bar
ton was urgent for an immediate decision
of the French government relative to the
demands he was authorized to make, and
it is not unlikely that he may have OBJ
tanned that decision in time to forward it
by the first Of November packet from Ha-
Yre.

From Merico. BY private advices we
learn that Mr.. Daniel Pope, the Ameri-
can Consul at Tobasco, in Mexico, has
lately had his house violated by the gov
eminent troops under the command of
Martinez, under the pretence of search
ing for the Collector Of the Customs ; al
though Mr.. Pope strenuously deprecates
and opposed this arbitrary act. lie had
been obliged 20 return to this country.
The Mexicans seem resolved to have a
rupture with the government Of the United
States.
We learn also that ships sailing from
Vera Cruz 10 Tampico are not permitted
to carry letters or journals--which is ve-
ry prejudicial to the merchants. This
order is now rendered general. Editors
are forbidden to treat on current circum-
ST ances, and all intercourse is prohibited
as far as possible, which could give
information Of the real state Of things IN
the Mexican struggles, The state OF
Tamaulipas is under the ban Of central

AN OLD SoLDIER's Story. A few
days since, l stopped at the public house,
Colrain, and while my horse was eating,
l sat down in the bar room, and heard a
sensible old man relate the substance Of
the enclosed account;
During the revolutionary war, there
was point of land Oh the Jersey side Of
the Hudson, and not far distant from
New York, which was the scene of q
bloody conflict. There were about 800
acres next to the river, from which the
wood and timber had been cleared off;
back Of this, was heavy forest. On this
cleared point, large number Of fat cat
tie, destined to supply the American ar
my, were placed. Four or five miles
distant, in New Jersey, there were three
thousand light infantry, under the con,-
mand Of Lafayette. was one ofthat de-
tachment. Our business was to see that
the cattle were not taken from the point
by the enemy. One morning intelli-
gence was brought into camp, that sever
al vessels had approached the point, and
that large body Of British soldiers were.
landing My regiment was ordered for
the point. Rufus Putnam, nephew Of
the old General, was our Colonel. He
was well stocked with the Putnam mettle.
He was brave officer. ] could never
discern that he was not Just as cool and
selEposscssed when going into battle, as
when sitting in his tent. We made a
hurried march, and uponpapproaching the
edge Of the woods, the Colonel ordered
the Adjutant to go forward and see where
the troops were, and what was their num-
bcr. The Adjutant soon returned, and
reported that they we're forming upon the
shore in three columns, and that he should
think the columns contained about ono
thousand each. "Thon," said the Colo
mel, "ride back to the carnp as quickly as
possible, and tell Lafayette TO come on -
