II is evident to all men who are dispos.
ed to think and act justly, that the Intel
ligencer 1--WE do not receive the Courier
has published the truth in relation to
both France, and the U. States. however
disagreeable it may have been TO Mr..
Livingston or the President. The peo-
pie here want the truth-and they want
it also in France.
Again he says-"Whether the ener-
ee.ic language of the Message will be
made the pre.ext with some, or be the
cause with others, among the Deputies
for rejecting the law cannot ofcourse be
yet conjectured with any great degree
Of probability; but / think it will have
a coed effect. 1t has certainly raised
US in the estimation Of other Powers, if
I may Judge from the demeanor Of
their representatives here; and my
own opinion is, that as soon as the first
excitement subsidies, it will operate ia.
yorably on the Councils of France"
"It has certainly raised US in the esti-
nation fother Powers"-What Powers
Despotc Russia. Prussia, Spain, Portu-
gal, &C. No doubt each and all of these
Powers, would rejoice to see France and
the U. States at War. They will equal
ly urge BOTH PARTIES. 1t is their inte-
rest to do so. Nothing would more cer-
tainly arrest the further progress of libe-
raj principles in their own dominions than
such War. Mr.. Livingston in this COM
munication said many weak, and some
very inconsistent things-but nothing so
weak as this. This letter ought not to
have been exposed, as it will expose the
weakness of our minister ''in the estimaa
ton of these other Powers. 1T can
have no other effect either in Europe or
America.
THE TREATY. OF 1881 AND THE BILL
or I835.--Our readers are no doubt a.
ware that the bill of Indemnity recently
introduced into the French Chambers 10
quite different affair from that incorpo-
rated in the treaty Of 81. The Courier
and Enquirer gives the annexed account
ofthe two :--"By comparison Of the
stipulations of the Treaty with the
provisions Of the bill submitted to the
Chambers, it will be perceived that the
instruments instead Of terminating in
1888, as the Treaty provided, are now
only to commence in 1885 and terminate
in l84l; and what il Of still more conse-
quence, the treaty stipulates for an an
nual interest at the rate of per cent.
per annum, to be paid on the whole sum
remaining unpaid each year. This con-
ditipn the hill introduced omits Alto
gether, and the interest amounts to the
enormous sum Of Six millions, four hun
dred and ninety.fve thousand, two hum
dred and twenty-five francs and twenty
confines, which is more than one fourth
ofthe whole indemnity Tin ether words,
the bill proposes to give us LESS THAN
THREE-FoURTHs of what France is SOL
EMMY bound to pay under the provisions
ofthe Treaty."-[National Gazette.
