telllgence IRON that country, but still most yex-
atously leaving us nearly much involved in
doubt and perplexity as to tine real state Of the
question, pending between France and the Uni

which We refer, are, the Sally, Capt. Forbes,
from Havre, whence she sajl.d on the 23lh of
january, and the French brig of war DAssas,
Capt. Dagucnet, from Brcst, whence she sailed
on the 10th. The Sully brings our Paris papers
TO the 18th OF January, inclusive. The national
vessel brings no papers but comes with despatch

an order for his RECALL This latter circum-

connection with the intelligence by the Snllv-
upon the supposltlon that nothing of importance
had occurred in Paris between the date of our
latest papers Cthe l7th) and the sailing of the d.
Assas On the 2Dth,-we argue that the state of
things Is even more pacific than the adviccs of
Thursday.
In the first place, true TO his engagements. the
King OF the French caused the Indemnity Bill to
be introduced into the Chamber of Deputies on
the l5th-the day on which the government had
promised TO bring il forward in the official note
published in The Moniteur. There seems 10 have
been misunderstanding both in Paris and in
London that the bill was TO have been submitted
to the Chambers on the l4th--and as il was not
introduced on that day, unfavorablo arguments
were ndulged. But this was mistake The
18th was the day intended, s. on that day 1T WAS
INTRODUCED. Beyond all doubt moreover. 1T
HAS BEEN INTRODUCED IN GOOD Faith. No
thing can be more obvious than this fact. from
the frank and manly speech Of the Minister of
Finance, Nj. Human, full translation Of which
will be found below.

On the Sd Of December 1881, Robinson

to be partner Of Mr.. Robinson in this

Robinson. and says he proposes 10 10
crease the speed Of transportation so as to
connect this line with the improvement
bids of the Ohio Company from Columbus
to CINCINNATI and the Kentucky Compa-
ny from Maysvile to Nashville: to make
this connexion he must run through in lif

tract he is allowed twenty hours for the
performance of the trip" He then pro.
ceeds TO enlarge upon the advantage which
will accrue 10 the department and the
country from this increase OF speed, and
also the great expense which IT will cause
the contractor. He says ii will be &C.
knowiedged as another evidence Of the
enterprise and ability Of the head (of the
