WASHINGTON, Feb. 81.

In the House Of Misrepresentation on
Friday, Mr.. Cambrcleng, from the
Committee on Foreign Relations, to
whom the subject Of our relations with
France, and the correspondence of the
Ministers Of the two Governments,
were referred, made Report, which
concluded by submitting the following
resolutions to the consideration Of the
House
"Resolued, That it would be in.
compatible with the rights and honor
Of the United States, further to nego.
.iate in relation to the treaty entered
into by France, on the 4th of July,
1891, and that this house will insist
upon its execution, as ratified by both
Governments.
"Resolued, That the Committee on
Foreign Affairs be discharged from the
further consideration Of so much of the
Presidents message as relates to the
commercial restrictions, or TO rePri-
sals, on the commerce Of France.
"Resolved, That contingent prepa.
ration ought to be made to meet any
emergency growing out Of our relations
with France"
MIR. Everett asked permission also
TO submit the views Of the minority Of
the Committee, in Report, Cat great
lengthy which report concludes with
the following paragraph:
"Nothing seems left, therefore, in the
approaching dissolution of the present
Congress but to consign the whole sub.
ject to the consideration Of the PEG.
pie at large-(with whom it is in some
degree matter Of novel impression y
to the wisdom Of the next Congress,
who will have all the information ne.
cessary for further action, if, contrary
to the expectations Of our Minister at
Paris, further action should be required
land to the disposal of an overriding
Providence. In respectfully submit.

sentiment, that they fully concur in
what they believe to be the unanimous
opinion Of the present Congress, tina.
the treaty Of the 9TH Of July, 1881,
should be maintained, and its execu-
ton insisted on, at all hazards, and
such, they doubt not, is the sense Of
the whole country.
Signed, by Messrs. Everett, Le,cher
and Coulter.
After much discussion, it was agreed,
by vote of 1l6 TO 10Y, to commi,

THE RICHMOND COURIER,
And mi.weeklv Compiler.

And Semt-weekly Compiler.
THE Editors Of the Compiler, in con
L forming 10 what they believe to be
the public taste, have determined, with
out changing the general character Of their
paper. TO give a spri,akiing Of politics.
They know there is such thing as sur.
feiting the reader with political matter
yet paper entirely devoid Of politics, is
like dish without seasoning; or, as has
been aptly said, ga pudding withou,
sauce;" il has no charms for people who
fake so decided an interest 10 public at.
airs as the people Of Virginia usually take.
Richmond is looked to as the centre of
the political system; the point where, at
least during the Legislative sittings, the
concentrated power Of the State resides ;
and it is from this point that intelligence
is expected to be scattered over every par,
Of the Commonwealth.
We shall therefore, take a decided
though decorous part in the politics of the
day, under the title Of The Richu.ond
Courier and Semi Weekly Compiler We
shall, as we have already stated, battle foy
the principles of Virginia and Constitu
tional Union. We believe that both are
now imperilled; and, under that belief, we
shall raise warning voice so long as we
have any hope that our countrymen can be
awakened from the fatal security in which
they now seem to be rcposing.
With this brief exposition Of our views
and purposes. we invoke the support of a
generous public.
The Daily Compiler will be separate
concern. and pursue the course which il
has adopted under its present conductors
The price of the Courier and Semi.
Weekly Compiler, is Five Dollars per an.
mum but $40 in advance will be received
as payment in full for five subscriptions.

TO THE EAGLE.

By PEacvAL.
Bird Of The broad and sweeping wing,
Thy house is high in heaven,
Where wide the storms their banners fling,
Aud the tempest clouds are driven.
Thy throne is on the mountain top;
Thy fields the boundless arr;
And hoary peaks, that proudly prop
The skies, thy dwellings arc.
Thou si.test like thing Of light.
Amid the noontide blaze
The midway sun is clear and bright;
II cannot dim thy gaze.
Thy pinions TO the rushing blast,
Der bursting pillows spread,
Where the vessel plunges. hurry past,
Like an angel Of the dead.
Thou ART perchod aloft on the beetliag cras,
And the waves are white below,
And on, with haste that cannot lag,
They rush in an endless flow.
Again thou hast plumed thy wing for fight,
To lands beyond the sea,
And away, like spirit wrcathed in light,
Thou hurriest, wild and free,
Thou hurriest over the myriad waves,
And thou leayest them all behind,
Thou swecpest that place of unknown graves,
Fleet as the tempest wind.
When the night. storm gathers dim and dark,
With shrill and boding scream,
Thou rnshest by the laundering bark
Quick as passing dream.
Lord OF the boundlcss realm Of air,
In thy imperial name
The hearts Of the bold and ardent dare
The dangerous path Of fame.
Beneath the shade Of thy golden wings,
The Roman legions bore,
From the river of Egypt's cloudy springs.
Their pride to the polar shore.
For thee they fought. for thee they fell,
To thee the clarions raised their SWELL
And dying warriors prayed.
Thou vert, through an age Of death and fears
The image Of pride and power,
Hill the gathered rage Of a thousand years,
Burst forth in one awful hour.
And then delugo of wrath il came,
