THE FRENCH QUESTION.
The Courier aud Enquirer of the 18th instant, has the
following paragraph:
q We have also been informed what we believe 10
be good authority that nj. pageot, the French charge
dAaires at Washington, had caused an imitation TO lie
made 10 the PresidcntprohaO!y ny decton OF his 10
vernncnt-that u simple official communication of the
Presidents approval Of The last letter of Mr. Livingston
to the French Government would DC received BY them
Us sufficient compliance with the conditions which
the money is to be paid but that the PRESIDENT with his
usual emphasis of language, had positively refused 10 al
low this TO be done.
There is not the slightest foundation for any portion
of this statement Mr. Pageut ''cauSed intimatOn 10
DC made to Tic President that simple ccal communica-
ton Of the Presiduts npproca If tie last letter of Mr..
Lrings0n To- the French Government aoontd be reccrcd
Jgthcm as a sufficient compliance wh the conditions
,rhich the money be patd and SO far from The Pre-
sdents giving direct refusal, GiM his asual empha-
sis" or even closing the door to call for the ''oical
communication 10 the French Government of his ap-
proval of Mr. Lvings.ons last letter, by an intmaton
of unwngness to furnish it in the most authentic
form To that Government, feel authorised in saying
that if it had been desired, either by the Representative
of the French Government here, or by the French CO.
vcrncn from our Representative in Paris it would lave
been promptly and chrerully communicated Globe.

We learn that the Commissioners appointed to treat
with the Western Indians have returned to Fort Gibson
after having successfully accomplished tho object ut their
mission A treaty Of ality concluded by them, be-
tween the United States and the CherokccS, Greeks,
Choc:aws, Osages, senecas and Quapaws. Nothing oc-
CURED to interrupt the general harmony. and all parties
separated with good feelings.
There is no doubt but that this arrangement will be
productive Of happy effects 1t is the first time these
wild Indians have met upon such an occasion. Ihry
have heretofore kept the frontier in stale q" alarm and
have attacked with equal inpartiai,y, citizens OF the
United STATES and the Indians.
We learn that there arc three families divisions of
these Indians, who nlabit the great Western prare-
These the Camancis who arc the most numerous
but who have fixed permanent villages, and follow
the herds of buors. with their m"vcabr lodges, some
times North and sometimes South Of Red River
The WitchclaS, consisting OF several bands some r-
inr North and others South of Red River. Those North
are the TuwCcash and WachoS They have fixed vii
lagos, and raise corn and vegetables.
The Kicaways are the third family. They have ITO
fixed residences. but wander from the Cross Tnbrrs on
the Arkansas Canadian and Red River, 10 The Rocky
Mountains; and are sometimes though not often found
South of Red River As many different terms have been
used in designating these Indians, have thought it
would be acceptable 10 the confusion occasionrd
BY an imperfect knowledge of them, and give their di.
visions as reported by the Commissioners.
From some not known, the hoaways did not at

expected Fort Gibson, TO give their concurrence to the
arrangement made.
Wefur,hsr learn that the Commissioners have very
iudcinsy inserted provision in the treaty, Inculcat-
ing the desire of the United States upon the Indians
that they remain at peace with Mexicc.-GtoDc
