than otherwise. There is but one opinion
expressed by the passengers, or letters
by the Charlemagne it is, that the bill
will pass.
A letter from Paris says that the
Duke de Broglie refused TO accept the
position in the Ministry which he holds,
until it had been ascertained beyond
all doubt that the American Indemnity
bill would pass and that TO satisfy
him, the opinions Of the members Of
the Chamber were specially inquired
after and counted, aud The result was,
that a majority Of from one hundred
and twenty to thirty were found in the
affirmative. Another letter says, I'VE
