FOR REIGN.

From tue Neso York Eeentag Post, Feb. q.
 We have received our files of Paris pa- pers to the fifth ult. by the SuLLY, Capt. Forbes, who arrived this morning. The intelligence of most importance which they add to that which had been previously re- ceived by way of England, IS the speech of the Minister of France on the subject oi the relations with this country, and the bill which he submitted to the Deputies, appro- priating the amount of indemnity agreed up- on between the two Governments in the treaty which France has violated. The language of the minister, it will be seen, Is in earnest in favor of passing the indemnl- ty, and the provisions of the bill are all we could demand.
 We copy from Gaiignani's Messenger of the l6th, an abstract or summary of the ar e.-.~-----ze zs7- u 55al,rnaie tho varying and conflicting opinions of which the reader may find somewhat 10 assist him in forming judgment as to what is likely to be the event. Our own opinion IS, that the Chambers, after .some little splutter and vaporing about the honor and dignity of France, will come to the conclu- sion of honest Jack Falstaff, that discretion is hc better port of ualou, and pay the mo- ney. Hos6llties, in our view of the cir than they did before we heard the effect which the Presidents Message had occa- stoned. It seems 10 us very clear that the French Government does not at all relish the idea of war, and particularly war in which, as they cannot disguise from them selves, all the world will condemn them for the part they had acted To rob country first, then go to war with it, because after long suffering, 1t signifies its determination to have restitution, peaceably if it can, forcl- bly If 1t must, IS a piece of monstrous nation- al turpitude about which mankind can form only one opinion. France, sensible of this, and some other little circumstances which, notwithstanding all her buster, she will moi fail to consider, will pay the indemnity she will throw 1t at our feet, and exclain, there, take your money! And now strike us if you dare, and you shall see what we will do But when we once have our money, there will be nothing left to fight about so France may amuse herself by boosting as much as she peases about what she might, or would, or could, or should have done.
 It would seem from some features of the
 intelligence brought by the sully, that the recall of M. Serrurier IS measure of much less warke character than some of the English journals, and most of our own, choose to consider 1t. The Tribune says, i've are assured that the Govern ment was not sorry to have an opportunity of recalling M. Serrurier; and when the question as to the American claim IS ar- ranged, he will not return to Washington. It appears that previous 10 the debates in the Chamber or the 25,eo0,ooe, he wrote

remained incomplete. in consequence of the Chambers not having acted upon 1t. The passports to Mir. Livingston, and bis de- parture from France, IS tho necessary con sequence of the recall of M. Surrurier but Charge f.4Daires remains in Paris. It is confidently believed that the Chambers will pass the indemnity law,--certainly for fifteen millions, probably the whole amount, on inc ground that the honor of France re- quires the fulfilment of the treaty before any steps are taken of hostile character to- wards the United States. A very warm and passionate debate will. no doubt ensue.
 General Bernard is incesscnt in his ef- forts to terminate the affair tranqully, and appease the feelings of the French people, much exasperated, as they are, by the im- polite threats of the American President. He every where represents, on the Bourse and in the Tuiiieries, that Congress viii not by any act, sanction the language of the President and that while the American people are desirous of obtaining the amount of indemnity, they have no idea of war.
 hope that your Congress will be discreet in this matter. it IS moi in the habit Of brother Jonathan to rush into costly con- test, without calculating what IS to be made or lost by it. A little address and manage ment--a little playing of and negotiation would have succeeded much better with n people so hot as the French, than threat of war. At all events you will perceive that certain English journals, of the tory stamp, are chuckling at the idea of a war; and en- deavor to widen the breach, and increase the irritation, by pretending to have sympathies for the injustice done to America.
 My opinion is, that the money will be paid. especially if the action of either branch of Congress shall discountenance the warmth contained in the speech of the American President.

The Faithful and Sagacious Dog agaiia. The Baltimore American, in alludlng to the recent fires, has this paragraph: A circum- stance came 10 our knowledge yesterday, which shows that there must be ncendiaries among us. The foreman of our office. soon after he reached his dwelling in Pitt street, between eleven and twelve on Thurs day night, had his attention arrested by an unusual barking of his dog. in the yard. On gong out to ascertain the cause, the saga cious animal continued to bark, and Gsli, several times 10 the stable door, as if some one were within. The manner of the dog at once led his master to open it, when he found parcel of combustibles burning on the floor. Theyshad apparently been but a short time on fire, and were extinguished without difficulty, but it is evident that but for the singular warning of the dog the stable would have been ffed.

10 the King, that the difference might be settled for 12,000,o0o francs and it is be- lIeved that copy of this dispatch, being communicated to several influential mem- bers of the Centre by the friends of M. Ser rurler contributed in no small degree to the rejection of the demand of 25. 1000. If. From this moment the disgrace of the French Minister to the U. $. was resoly- cd or; b;,:t it could fiott bbe decided upon. for fear of divulging the motives. We have other reasons than any thing which appears in the French papers, for believing that the statement of the Tribune is sub stantially correct. M. Serrurier has had some opportunity of mistrusting the perfect accuracy of the opinion he IS said to have heretofore held and expressed, that the V4lnelqcan GogelWment could not be kicked into lcar aoith France, and his recal will probably be understood us an intimation that his Government now somewhat doubts the accuracy of his former communiea- tions.
 That the recal of M. Serurier is a less belligerent measure than was at first suppo- sed, seems to De further established by the positive assertion that MT. Livingston had no intention of leaving Paris. Galignani's Messenger of the 18th ultimo says, sWe are enabled to contradict. in the most posi- tive manner, the statements in several of our contemporaries, that preparations arc making at the Hotel of the American Elm bassy for the departure of MT.
