r Weiies the American banker at Paris had sold out
largely IN the French funds in consequence of the threat

1t was the opinion of the prominent American NOR
chants at lavre, that the claim would have been settled
but Tor the threat in the Presidents message
We regret TO perceive that the French pauers con-
nrm Tue statement OF Capt. 5. The Havre Journal of
FEB II, has long article of which the following is
the substance -. We have this mo,nent ROCKWELL g.
counts from Paris of the effect Which The pras;d,.
message had in that capital 1t produced but little san
sation The reasons that General Jackson gives for his
menaces othostty appear too weak TO excite much any
iey IN Frances and war with the u States seemed TO
come from too great distance to real alarm to
country, so little maritime ours
The general indifference with which tho ,,cssooo h
been received by the country has not been pacIpae
IN by our Ministry, who il appears by the disclosures
from Washington are placed in an swl,vurd ,redc,
meht; lney nave promised payment; and it is asked
whether the Chambers will consider the Message as an
attack on ITS dignity, whether through midity they
w pass the indemnity bill.-ln the latter case il will
DC sad that our Ministry and the cabinet ut Washington
VIII have lcagued to destroy the independence of ,bc
chambers IT. therefore, the majority of the Chambers
submit to the earnest enteatcs ofthc Ministry and have
tue weakness to pass the bill OF indemnity which il has
once rejected acHhout threat it will be the Mnisrv
more than the subservicn Chamber that public on;o
will accuse. The public will then be indionont NJ =

ne liavre has brought dispatches for Government
rom our Minister ut Paris, which we understand v,or
iorwardedto Washington by express liberalism,
from all that we gather SAYS the Daily Adver-or
1T appears that the Message will have very avor,I
ehcct France will not be frightened into anv
or tue preservation OF peace, and most if not all the
Journals entertain the belief that the United toes
which has so much at stake will not put the threats 81
