CHEsApEAxE AND ONO CANAL.-We regret to
have to state the future, yesterday, in the
House Of Delegates, by majority of nine, of
the bill giving the guaranty Of the State to the
payment Of interest upon loan for the use OF
thus Company. The danger Of the precedent Of
the States becoming endorser for companies,
seemed to be the principal influence operating
upon those who voted against the bill; though
some members indicated their opposition to it
on account Of the Canal being what they term
ed border work We are inclined to think an
additional appropriation on the part OF the
State would have met with more favor, and
been less liable to plausible objections. But Tor
the late period of the session, We should think
such an application might yet be presented with
success Virginia, having put her hand to
the plough, will not look back" She will not
leave company, in which she is partner, to
languish for want Of helping hand at critical
moment.-Richm0nd Compiler.

IcoMMuNIcATED.I

Mr. Saopden: The speech Of the Honorable
Benjamin Hardin regarding the Alexandria
Canal, reported in your paper of 22d January,
has occaSioned remarks here that seem to re-
quire my notice. ! called upon Mr. Hardin,
hoping TO shew his error in supposng the River
Potomac rendered Canal to Alexandria I'M
necessary and to mention other matters con-
nected with that subject, deserving, as thought,
his friendly consideration. II has recently been
suggested to me, here, that, instead OF receiving
any Information intended by me, Mr. Hardin
had examined me as an adversary witness, TO
draw from my answers--dnd had done so-mat-
tiers to iortify his opposition TO our Canal: which
| do not admit as correct. During my short in
terview with Mr.. Hardin, he made no inquiry,
other than became an independent gentleman,
fairly entitled to candid answers. To his in.
quiry, regarding the Aqueduct, as to the width
of the river, the depth Of the piers below the
water line and their heighth above il. answer
ed, as understood by report 400 TO 1900 feet
wide-about IL to Is feet in different parts,
depth to the rock at bottom, and about 80 feet
upwards to the level of the Canal. He did not
enquire about the expenditure there, nor did |
mention it. He asked the amount subscribed
at Alexandria to the Canal: answered $4,000
by the Corporation, and, thought, about $685.
600 by private individuals. He did not ask nor
did say that the money so subscribed was all
expended. | did not inform him that Alexan-
dria had put forth her utmost, and was incapa-
bic Of doing any thing more;-such expression
would have been in direct contradiction of my
known opinion. that Alexandria. with intelli-
gence and independence to guide her affairs,
would not fail to complete her Canal; no word
of mine conveyed to Mr.. Hardin the idea Of
despair on that point-but. doubt not, he may
have heard in this District what he stated
MIR. Hardin's department was affable and can
did; but perceived, in few minutes, that his
mind was so engaged in the support Of previous
prepossessions unfavorable to the interests OF
Alexandria, as my letter to him shews, as left
me without hope to remove them verbally
therefore, asking permission to see him again
on the subject-to which he politely and indeed
kindly asssntsd, took my leave, with the intent
to make myself better understood on paper-I
tried to do so. And as Mr.. Hardin assured me
that he was perfectly unbiased between Bati-
more Georgetown and Alexandria, | did hope
more pleasing result of my respectful address
to him than what your paper contains. doubt
not MIR. Hardin discharged his duty on our un-
successful application, in good faith, and to the
best Of his judgment.
Respectfully,
Your obedent servant,

from Liverpool. The news by this arrival is
said to be, that the French Government have
recalled Mr.. SRRRuRIER, their Minister to the
United States: and have given Mr.. LIVINGSTON
notice that his passports are ready for him to
leave France. Mr.. Livingston was daily ex-
pected in London. The Paris Moniteur Of a

Executive PArRoNAeE.--The discussion on the
measure reported by the committee 70 wnom
this subject was referred, increases in interest
as it progresses. Mr.. Whites remarks, which
were most creditabe to him, seemed to have
called forth the partisans of Mr.. Van Buren,,
par excellence. who have, whether wisely or
not, arrayed themselves on the side of Execu-

PRrvArE OPrxIoSs.-The letters from France,
distributed among our commercial men, says
the New York Journal of Commerce, contain a
great many structures on the Message Of the
President Some of the writers express the
opinion that the indemnity will pass, and many
of them that it will not. But all, so far as We
have heard, agree in the opinion, that the Mes
sage was i'll judged, and that il will be great
impeachment in the way Of passing the bill. The
following from very respectable house is a
sample CT many.
HAyRE, Jan. 9-Your favor 9Th Dec. is at
hand The Presidents Message, we are afraid
will be the cause of great deal of mischief
Il has already created a great deal of irritation
in this commercial emporium. and by the mail
from Paris this morning. We learn that it is the
general opinion, that the Presidents recon-
mending the seizure of French property in the
United States will be the cause Of our legislative
bodies refusing the appropriation necessary TO
the payment of the American claims. We have
no doubt that the law would have passed the
two Chambers had the Presidents words been
less severe, but recommending the seizure OF
French property is complete declaration OF
war, which could not be worse from barbarians.

presented every class of our community Mr.
Van Buren, was in apparently excellent spirits.
There was much complaint among the guests
on the occasion because no refreshments were
offered A lady, it is said, asked Mr. Van Buren,
irhe would not have better arrangements when
he should be President7-to which Mr.. Van
Buren, very smilingly replied that he certainly
would The question would indeed have adj
