LATEST FROM FRANCE.


at New-York from Havre bringing dates 10 the
,ath ultimo. very late We copy from the Ne"
York Daily Advertiser, all the important news
which has been received by this arrival.
The news is of the highest importance. Inc
Presidents message had reached France, ana
the journals are filled with comments. 1t a2-
pears the French Chambers had fixed upon the
18th to take up the subject the American Trea-
ty, and there was a fair prospect that the indem-
nifty would have been granted. The arrival OF
the message appears to have been most unfor-
tunate; nothing had transpired as to the course
the Government would take We are, there
fore, obliged to copy the impressions of the peo-
pie from the tone and opinions of the French
Journals. which we have done must fully.
From all that We can gather, It appears tha'
the message will have very unfavorable effect
France will not be frightened into any mea-
sures for the preservation OF peace and most II
not all the journals entertain the belief, that the
United States, which has so much at stake, Will
not put the threats of President Jackson into ex-
ecution. With these feelings and sentiments,
we fear an amcable adjustment of our Difficult
ties will not be very speedy. We give the fo-

that his menace will induce the legislative bodies
to give sanction which they have once refused.
Whatever NAV be the timorous habits OF the
Chambers. they will not in the face OF the coun-

have ruined their cause, even il their claims
had been legitimate. The conduct OF the french
Ministry i'm this unfortunate dispute, has not
little contributed to render the sGiulioh uincuil

There is in the affair of the twenty-five millions
claimed by the United States question ofCon-

than the President has done. France has little
