T Mr.. LIVINGSTON in his letter dated
Paris 18th January, as published in our
paper to-day, says,
"The Courier arrived at 2 o'clock on
the morning of the 9th. Other copies
we're the same morning received by
the Estafelte, and the contents being
soon known caused the greatest ssnsa.
ton, which as yet is, | think unfavor.
able. The few members of the oppo.
sition who would have voted for the
execution of the treaty, now declaring
that they cannot do it, under the threat
of reprisals, and the great body Of tina,
party making use of,he effect il has on
national pride, TO gain proselytes from
the Ministerial side Of the Chamber, in
which, have no doubt, they have in
a grea, degree for the time succeeded.
"The Ministers are aware Of this, 81
will not, think, Immediately urge the
consideration Of the law, as ! have no
doubt they were prepared TO do when
the Message arrived. Should Congress
propose commercial restrictions, or de-
termine to wait to the end Of the sess-
ion before they act, this will be con.
sidered as vote against reprlsals, and
then the law will be proposed, and
think carried"
Now did he not know that any thing
on the Part of the presl-
dent would have the EFFECT he here de"
scribes' He certainly did. Then why
did he urge upon the President measure
which he now admits to be fatal to the
Treaty ITSELF The whole course OF Mr..
Livingston is altogether. we think. un'
worthy and reflects no credit whatever
