-
which the national honor is put at case, is nothing
but cupablc and desperate gambling, whereby the
French purchasers Of the American claims hope TO
obtain payment from France, utihe risk OF piuns-
,ng their country in a war, which, even If vicsori-
Gus, would be ruinous.
The Chambcrs can take one Of TWO grounds, ell
ther TO vote the twenty-five millions without ask
ing who, without right promised them in the name
If France, or who viii receive them-or to
reject the twenty-five millions and TO leave the
terrible responsibility for consequences 10 those
who have permitted themselves TO pledge the
word Of the King of France as the word of France
herself-to those who in procaiming that the mes
sage Of President Jackson is not offence from
the American na'ion, since II is only that of
isolated power, have replied to that individual
act, by an offence which the American nation must
take to itself, since the Amelcan Ambassador is
the representative Of the nation and Of the Pres
Ident.
To make that the consequences OF these
TWO s,eps which commit the honor and safety OF
The country, and which have been lnspIredby sor-
did calculations. will fall upon their authors there
is no need Of formal proposition OF accusation, nor
impeachment before the Chamber OF Peers. II
is enough to reject the law for the 23 millions
Events will sufficiently turn that simple vote into
a terrible condemnation against the worthless per
sons who have made traffic in the claims Of
friendly people, just in principle, and have reoder
ed them inadmssba by making them the affair of
their own cupllity.

Finances, in the Chamber OF Deputies, has occa-
casoned rise in the price of Stocks, and some bu

question, though they would urge It's passage
warmly.
