RECEPTION OF THE PRESI-
DENTS MESSAGE.

BY the packet ship Havre, from IIav-
re, Jan. 18th at New York on Sunday,
Paris dates to tho 10th are received
We cory from the New York papers the
following particulars Of the news.
Capt Stoddard, Of the Havre, reports
that the Presidents Message was land
ed n; Havre Oh the 9Th; that it createG
much sensation on Change at Havre.-
1t was repor,ed.at liavre that notes had
been exchanged between Mr. Livingston
and Admiral De Rigney, the purport OF
which was understood to he that the bill
would have been brought forward in the
Chambers on the l2th, with every pros
pect of success, but that in q consequence
of the excitement occasioned by th'
threat in the Presidents Message, the
subject would not be brought forward
during the excitement and further, that
it our Congress gave their sanction to the
measure proposed by the President, the
French Government would consider it @
declara,io of war, and make immediate
feprisals.
Capt s. states that he thinks the gene
ral opinion was agnins, paying the claim
until they could hear further hom this
country, in order to ascertain how Con-
sress would treat the subject. Those
who had been in favor Of an immediate
payment, were now against il, as they
were unwilling to be driven into It. II
was reported at Havre, that Mr. WelIes,
the American banker at Paris, had sold
out largely in the French funds, in con-
sequence Of the threatened difficulties be-
tween the two countries.
The Havre has brought dispatches
for government, from our Minister at
Paris, which we understand were for
warded to Washington by express.

WASHINGTON, Feb is, 1885.

SIR, / am enabled to inform you, from
sources to which the most implicit reli-
ance can be awarded, that the Admins
tration il possessed Of depositions taken
from three individuals, who swear that
Richard Lawrence, the Assassin, was
seen by them in tho private room of the
Hon George Poindextsr the two days
Immediately anterior to his attempting the
life Of General Jackson. These deoosi-
tions will be published in the course three
or four days. An un,iring effort will be
made to implicaio mr.. Poindexter. OF
the individuals who have subscribed to
these deposi,ions shall no, speak D; the
public must award its own Judgment. -
The dispositions do not charge Gov. Poin-
dexter with employing Lawrence but
leave him in the room W ith that Senator.
The publication which is soon 10 be made
must create an unusual excitement.
l am also enabled to inform you, that
the letter Governor Poindexter addressed
to General Jackson on Saturday, the 3 I st
of January, was opened by Major Donel-
son, who has charge Of the private cores
pondence Of the President, and by him
was destroyed. General jackson has not

Tomorrow, Capt Peter Wanton Snow
OF Rhode Island, will be nominated to the
Senate by the President, Az Consul for
Port Of Canton, in China, to fill the place
vacated by the resignation OF mr.. Gros-
venCr. Capt Snow is an accomplished
merchant, resided many years in Canton,
and l do not doubt the nomination and
appointment will give great satisfaction to
your merchants.
The weather continues very cold and
as the session draws towards n close, the
zeal ond fervour Of the representatives OF
the people become tho more ardent.

bout year since, boy, aged IL, by the

rule Of the school which he attended, and
for which il was supposed he apprehended
punishment from the schooln aster. He
disappeared at the time, diligent search
was made for, him, but nothing could DO
