forth for electioneering purposes, and foolish
ly boasting that by his superior management,
we had gained great deal more by the trea-
ty than we had right to expect. The Min
sters, therefore, were obliged to proceed
with the utmost forbearance and delicacy, and
to arm themselves with hundred oxpana-
tions, which the strange indiscreton OF our
Government had rendered Indispensable. Oh
all this the Administration at Washington was
fully and repeatedly apprzed, and yet in the
face Of it, language was most unnecessarily
used last winter which was understood to i'm
peach the integrity Of the French King, nc-
companied with what, in spite of very alb
surd disclaimer, every one must consider as a
menace of reprsals. But we will not unne.
cessarily recur to the past, nor detract from
the merits of the present communication. AS
we have said before, the part OF it relating to
France is drawn up with so much address ana
good judgment, that we have no doubt, on Its
arrival in Paris, it will be received there IN
the very best spirit, and unless thwarted by
the indiscre!ions Of Nh Barton, lead at once
to the settlement of this long and unnecessa-
rily perplcxed question. We have always
believed since the passage Of the bill Of in
demnity by the French Chambers, that the
French Government would withhold payment
until the annual message to Congress should
make reparation as authentic and public as
the offence originally given This has now
been effected, we should think, to the salts
faction of all parties; so that PEACE, the in
valuable guarantee Of all our present prosper
ty, and the certain harbinger of all that is to
come, will not in this instance at least be
sacrificed to the recklessness Of party

THE INDEMNIFICATION.

In regard to the indcmniiication we find
but two paragraphs of any moment whatever.
One is from the Journal des Debats-the
ministerial paper-and together with a de-
gree of ignorance which provokcs smile,
displays feeling which we perceive with in
dignaton and regret. The following trans
lation will serve to ruise some doubts in the
minds of our readers as to the 'good dsposi.
tions" Of the French ministry, of which we
have heard so much. That those dispositions
once existed, we have no doubt, but they seem
10 have been materially changed by the mes
sage of 1884. AS some of our contemporaries
read the message Of 1885, it may restore them;
but we have serious doubts.
"PARIs, 25th October.--Sevnrsl Journals
have presented the late American news in
such manner as TO lead to the belicf,hat the
relations between these two countries were
upon the point of interruption, snd that Gen
eral Jackson, refusing all explanation ms to
the expressions Of his message, was prepar-
ing for hostile measures. We have the strong
est reasons for believing that our relations
with the United States, remain exactly on the
same footing and that the whole affair rests
in precisely the situation in which it was left
by Mr.. Livingston.
II must be observed, however, that Gene
raj Jackson does not suffer his intentions to be
known; it is only known that he is endeavor-
ing to excite feeling Of animosity against
France among the lower classes of the popu-
laton, to which he may finally appear to yield,
in demanding from congress authority to
break with Franco. But amoug all the clas.
ses-among those who think, and have inter-
ests to be affected, sentiment is strongly A.
goipet any measures Of a hostile tendency.
"whatever may be the personal feelings of
general Jackson, who has already once given
way before the opposition Of congress, upon
this very question of hostilties, he will cer-
tainly hesitate before taking, upon his exclu-
sive responsibility, measures which would
lead TO collision, and lac will at least wait
for the meeting of congress, that he may OBJ
tain its sanction to measures Of such, import

FIRST PAGE.-On our first page will be

Ilarbor, Oh Lake Erie. We publish it at tho
request of one of the enterprising proprietors
who has for sometime resided at this place.
The advantages possessed by this llarhor O.

described in the article from the Commercial
Advertiser, as well as in the annexed extract
from correspondent Of the gentleman above
referred TO.
Though we do not much admire the name
of this harbor, still, it will be perceived, that
it has Clay bottom.
A letter from Fredonia, N. Y. says, I was
at Dunkirk and likewise at Van Buren, during
the late STORM 1t was fearful tempest
There was not a person at Dunkirk who
thought there was any safety for vessel
within the harbor; every thing on the wharves
and along the shore, was in a mixed mass
floating about. The planks on the l'wer-
most wharf were swept away, and Smiths
wharf was all washed awny to the Store
house. The waters all over the anchorage
ground ragged with us much violence as in the
open Lake.
! At Van Buren,, the uppermost part of the
Harbor was comparatively calm,-a man who
has lived for years near the Lake offered to
60 out into the Bay in an open SkG and I
should Judge that he might have done so in
perfect safety. One thing is certain, that
Van Buren Harbor was much more calm
without Breakwaters than Dunkrk with.

"On the 2lst instant desperate duel was
fought etwcen Capt. Everett White, a
brother OF the delegate in congress-, and Col.
A Bellamy, late president of the legislative
council. These gentlemen were candidates
for the county of Jefferson, and Captain
White WIS returned as elected by consid-
cradle majority.
The duel is supposed to have grown out of
the disagreements Of their political contest.
The duel was one which, from the mode Of
conducting t. was intended, on both sides,
for fatal results, which unfortunately follow
cd. The parties were stationed sixty yards
apart, with four pistols to advance and fire.
Capt. White advanced and received three
shots, without injury, and then fired, at the
distance of fifteen PAGES. His first shot pas.
sed through Col. Bellamy's arm, the next
through his body, and, in the act ofadvancinc
with the other two pistols, he received NOR
tai wound from Col. B's fourth pistol.

opinion of the Corporation of W ashing-

Hon. GEORGE PoINDExTER as accessa-

This resolution declares that, 10 the
opinion of the said Boards, every individ-
ual concerned in plotting and continuing
the false and nefarous charge against
Governor Poindexter, of an attempt to
assassinate the President of the United
States, ought to be held up not only to

Mr.. GUNToN stated, that, as the sub

thought it ought properly to originate, he
would prefer that it should lie over until
that Board had acted on it aud, there
fore, moved to lay the resolution on the

withdrew the motion.
The resolution was then read a third
