member ofthe House of Representatives,

Chambers have not yet acted upon the
treaty, nor will they for several weeks.

"a mere suggestion of suspension
Of commercial intercourse was enough
to induce the people of France to urge
upon their Deputies a speedy settle

"Itwill be many years before France
will be restored to that good feeling
which was cherished for America and
Americans, unhappiy broken up by

Another letter, from a gentleman
whose means of information is as great
as any one in Paris, says:
"The Treaty will be executed. The
Ministers feel themselves stronger
Their journals speak out with more
confidence, aud the opposition appear
to have exhausted their malice.

can get our just naturalization, and
that is, by passing law, at the early
part of the next session of Congress,
authorizing the President, in the even,

bacco, they will ruin their lace and
calico manufactures, and lose their
monopoly OF tobacco, which yeu know
is now enjoyed by the Government.
We can get our silks and velvets from
Italy, and send our tobacco to Hol.

account against US by getting the aid
of Great Britain, under French Com
