"Most Important from Frame
We are enabled to say, on the autlleE-
4 ity ofone Of our most respectable COM
mercial houses, that letter from Lon
DON. dated October a8th, received yea.
4 terdsy by the Josephine, states that 8
4 formal demand had been made by our
4 Charge d'Affaires on the French Gov
! eminent, for the payment ofthe install
tnenis due the United States, as settled
by the indemnity treaty. That a long
conference was in consequence held,
between the President Of the Council,
the Duke de Brogiie, and the Mials'er
Of Finance, IN. Human, and that on
the 26!h q refusal was communicates
no our Charge, and full and explicit
explanation of the Presidents Mes
Usage required"
The following paragraphs are from
"a Loadon paper Of the 29sh October I:
"Paris, Oct. 27.-On Sunday there
was long conference between the
Minister Of Finance and M. de Broglie,
10 consequence Of visi. made by the
Charge d'Affaires ofthe United States
10 the President Of the Council. 1t
was said that M. Human persisted in
resolving not TO make any payment
without obtaining clear and absolute
satisfaction. Courier Francois.
aThere can be no doubt that Mr..
Barton was urgent for an immediate
decision Of the French Government
relative TO the demands he was author
lied 10 make, and it is not unlikely
that he may have obtained that decis-
sion in time 10 forward il by the frs!
Of November packet from Havre.
"The London Public Legsr Of the
2S,h says II was stated on Change
Yesterday at a late hour, that bills
drawn by the American Government
on that Of France, in liquidation of the
American claims, bad been refused
acceptance"
I'VE do not wish 10 speak at large
Of the French question al this moment,
respecting which we shall, in the
course Of the day, have more direct
information, we suppose through the
medium OF the Presidents Message.
We will therefore only say, at this
present, that this infoi nation, suppose
it to be all exactly true, does not ap-
pear to US TO vary, in any essential de-
gree, the state ofour controversy With
France Nat. Int
w The New York Star says that up
wards of eighty thousand petitions for a.
polishing slavery in the District Of Co
lumbia have been printed in New York,
and are circulating for signatures.
New York has heretofore taken the
lead in reference to the extent & pro-
ducliveness of her canals, but the palm
is about to be borne off and hereafter
carried by Pennsylvania. The fact, j,
appears, has been ascertained from 10
disputable sources, that the canals of
Pennsylvania, State and incorporated,
have received in tolls during the past
season, up to the 18th Of October, the
sum Of S ,2Sl ,567 and that during
the same period, the tolls on the New
York canals have amounted to 81
212,6oo; showing difference Of
$I9,965 in favor Of the canals 10
Pennsylvania.
The Erie canal, we see it stated,
will pay this year about fifteen per
cent upon its cost ! On the other
hand, the State works Of Pennsylvania
have not yet come fairly into opera
ton /; the branch canals have as yet
produced little or nothing, for want Of
an outlet to tide, but as soon as the
extension is made by the Susquehan-
ma Canal Company from Columbia
down 10 the Chesapeake, the trade on
the branches will be but little if any
short of that on The main line.
