WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. 1884.


 The deHate to day upon the troubles with France. in the House of Representatives., has been one of interest, t,--upon, the nov, all-engrossing sub;ect,- and ihoqgh il ena- ed in nothing, yet 1t amounts to something. MT. Clayton of Georgia, led the van in an attack upon the warlike part of the mes sage; and by his amendment, wali instruc- tions, he intended 10 shew that the opinion of the House of Representatives Fas averse to the belligerent course of the President. MT. Clayton contended thatthe President had been precipitate, and by his menace, for menace it was, disguise it though we may, had endangered our friendly relations with F'rance--our commerce toh--was likely to plunge us into war,--and Tn the end, lose us the five millions really due. Mir. Clayton then read from the debates in the French Chamber of Deputies, showing the friendly feeling of the French towards us, their attachment to our institutions-th their acknowledgement that something was due, and that the only difference was, as to the amount due. 4 translation of these debates, the way, has been laid upon the tables of all the members of Congress. IL is in d pamphlet of l56 pages. Mr. Wayne, in the course of his remarks to day. hinted, or asserted, 1 did not understand winch, that he should move the reprint of copies for general circulation over the country. The debates are of very high order, evin- cling great research, profound knowledge of the whole subject-great friendship for Us, and strong disposition to preserve peace.
 After Mr. Clayton sat down, Mir. Clai- borne of Virginia, took the floor, and ad- dressed the House in all animated, and at times, very eloquent speech, commanding attention, and evidently making an inpres- sion. He took part with Mir. Clayton, and loudly condemned menace-war-and the demand of the President for more power, particularly that most dangerous of all pow ers-the war power. The chairman of the Committee of Foreign Relations, MT. Wayne, took up the other side; he saw no war in the message, n6r signs of war. He deprecated the early discussion ol thls sub feet. and thought that such remarks as Mir. Clayton had made, were calculated to lead on the very war SD much to be dreaded. Col Johnson sided with him in opinion = but the Colonel has so many crooked sen- tences, so much involved, iia; ifia; !: $ e!.e: difficult 10 catch a thought of his as fo catch an eel, ii slips so through one's fin gers. Mir. Archer did not agree with Mir. I Clayton, at last Mir. Clayton con scented to withdraw his amendment, and thus the matter dies away for the present, Evidently there Is much feeling abroad in this matter, hut as yet, 1t Is repressed ieel- ing.

.Nauigatioa of lhe Red Sea-Raii- Road aeToss the Isthmus Qf sue~.--It has been mentioned that a sun of money hIid been voted by the British Parliament fer the purE' pose of ascertaning the pmcticabilily of opening q communication with India, by means of steam navigation through the Euphrates and the Persian Culph. It IS now announced, that whatever may be the result of the survey, steam will be called intn enerafion in aflectino the nassars to India, by at least one channel, viz that of the Red Sea. Mohaned Ali, the Pacha of Egypt, desirous of profipg by the de- termination of the British Government. has decided on the construction of a Rail- Road across fhe Isibmus of Saez. lis supposed that ship may be transported on the rail-road, and thus the necessity be avoided Of tinladlng and reiading the eafgo.A.

 The news from Virginia IS satisfactory thus far; but the main point it is said, is not yet clear, fully clear. How reioiced democracy must be is the election of Ba- chanan from Pennsylvania. Rtchie ip his paper IS eFer commenting uponthe reign of Federalists. Daniel Webster is raw head and bloody bones with which he at temptsto frighten his readers. But Ritch- ie need not be troubled long. The old Federalists, the real Hartford Convention men, will soon make up almost all his par ty in the Senate, and throw Clay and Cal houn quite in the back ground. See how many of them every election introduces. Hubbard from New Hampshire, an advo- cate of the Hartford Convention, is soon to take the place of Gov. Bell, a firm and leading democrat in the darkest hours of the last war. Wall will anon be in fIom New Jersey, an ultra federalist, who, like all renegades, makes up in violence, what he loses in dignity, by abusing the very party with which he acted for years and years, when such party existed. And now comes Buchanan. an ultra iederalist too. Sure, Mir. K. will not forget these, his co-worhers in Van Bureaism.

The recommendation of the sale of the government stock is what was eypectad and sincerely hone that our friends will not be caught in this gull trap. 1t Is a fact, that the administration do not want to sell thls stock, though they recommend it. The object of it's intro duction in the Message Is to keep up the agitation on the Bank question, so that Mir. Van Buren may ride into the Presidency upon its strength; for he well knows that so long as he can keep Clay, Webster and others parrYing these wicked assaults upon corporation, he can keep out of sight all the violations of law and he constitution, while they are violated only through the Bank.
 The matter about the French treaty is curious matter. could have inserted better history of the negotiation than the President has. lfhe had said that Rives' folly in boastlng so loudly for electioneer- ing purposes over this treaty, had made the French believe, that Brother Jonathan had outWitted them. and thus dlsgusted them with their bargain, he would have sum- med Up the whole trouble. Asit Is, we must get our pay as We Can. Itis an ad- mInIstration matter, and let Us not run our heads against this vindfall. The Presi- dent is only bullying France a little. There Is no intention of urging on Congress to the reprisals spoken of. If France has the pluck she once tad, she will act none the sooner under lhis bullying. However this Is all matter of taste. No doubt the French government mean, If they can, to trick us. now that Mir. Rives foollshly per- suaded them to believe that he treked them; and thus all we have to do, If this bullying has TO effect, is either to legislate the money out, or to force it out of them.

COMMODORE PoRTER.--It is with great pleasure we learn from letter received from this distinguished officer and able di- plomatist, hy gentleman of New York, that the report of his having suffered pa- ralys,s IS entirely without foundation, and that his health, which had been seriously af- fecsed, is improving. The Commodore is now residing at St. Stephens, a sillaget ce- lebrated forits piire air and water, and has received permission either to travel through any part ofthe East or visit this country, as may suit his inclinations. Ii Is not inpro- bable that he will prefer the latter, and that he will return in the course of the ensuing winter.
 This country is deeply indebted to Con- modore PORTER, not only for his distin- gulshed naval services, but for his success snl exerfons in procuring the ratification Of the treaty with the Sublime Porte, after il had been jeoparded by the supposed insult in sending a Ckarge des t9ayes instead of minister of the first grade to represent the United States; and for his interchangeable .ex- ertions in procuring and transmitting 10 this country important commercial information, specimens of annals, seeds, plants, Sc. for the benefit of his countrymen. He ne- yer seems 10 forget his country; but. as we learn from various notices in the different journals, is continually transmitting to his friends something curious. interesting, or or valuable. Though his salary as Charge is scarcely adequate to bis support at one of the most eypenslye courts in Europe, his kindness and hospitality to such of his countrymen as visit Gonstantinople, are spoken of with uniform qualification.
 Il Is rumored that tiiiatt d fffieiid in this coun- try is in possession of a series of highly interesting letters from he Commodore, describing the scenery, characters, and pre- sent existing manners of he different na- lions composing the miscellaneous popula- ton of Cehstantinople, and it's neighbor- hood, derived from actual personal obserVa- ton during a residence of several years.- 1 They describe things as they are, with ali the changes introduced by the policy of Sultan Mahmoud, and not as they are rep resented in works now obsolete, from the revolution now in progress, and which IS gradually changing the face of things.
 Such a work cannot fail to be highly valu- able us well as interesting, when we con slider the long and favorable opportunities enjoyed by the Commodore, as well as bis Icapacity for lively graphic description, We think these letters ought to be publish led, and cannot but hope the gentleman n possession of them will obtain the Com rnodore's permission for that purpose In coneluson, if IS our earnest wish that his health may be speedily restored, and that he will shortly favor his ssfriends, of whom few men have more or better, with visit.
