Mr.. Clay then rose and said, that he had no
desire to prolong the present discussion. But he
desired to say to the Senator from Pennsylvania,
that while he was thankful to him for the COM
mendation which he had bestowed on The report,
he begged leave to say that if it were proper, on
this or any other occasion, for him to compare
notes with that gentleman, as to the facts and
arguments contained in the report he trusted it
would not be out of his power to defend the rea-
sonings and conclusions fthe Committee. And
whenever that occasion should occur, he would
feel great pleasure in meeting the Senator from
Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Buchanan, said, that although, and he
said ii with the most entire respect, he could not
pretend to compare strength with the veteran
who had just taken his seat; yet so fully was he
convinced of the truth and justice of the position
which he had TAKEN that he should, whenever it
was necessary, not shrink from entering the lists
with that distinguished champion.
Mr.. Tallmadge, said he rejoiced to see the
unanimity which seemed to pervade the Senate
on the subject of our relations with France, and
he was unwilling to introduce any topics into the
discussion at this time, which would tend to in
terrupt the harmony which seemed to prevail
At the time the report was made to the Senate,
he took the opportunity to express his APPRECIATION
of some portions Of it, and his dissent from other
portions. He was then of opinion that it were
better that the committee should make no report,
ana tndt congress SnOulQ not act on Inc SUBJECT
till further information was received from France
and that the whole matter be left where it was
left by the Presidents message. He was still Of
opinion that would have been the better course.
But the majority of the committee thought 9TH
erwise. The report is before the Senate, and
must receive that consideration which is due to
its importance. He was rejoiced to see the mani
festaton ola general disposition to adopt such a
course should tend to unite all parlies on this
question, as it was there presented. He rejoiced
to see, that however much we might differ about
our own local and internal affairs there was but
one feeling when the honor of the nation was
concerned.
Mr.. T. said he accorded with the views which
had been taken by the COMMITTEE as whole and
also gave his need of praise to the Hon. Chair
man who drew the report, for having displayed
a true American feeling in it. 1t was gratifying
spectacle to witness the interest manifested by
the citizens, who, on this occasion, crowd this
chamber, and still more gratifying to believe and
know, that but one sentiment pervades the whole.
1t is an american feeling-a feeling which swal-
lows up every other, when the question is one
between our own and foreign nation. No
matter what may be our discussions at home, the
indications given here, this day, assure us, that
they cannot be extended abroad. Let our mot

STILL LATER FROM FRANCE.

By the arrival of the packet ship Poland,

on the 18th December, We have both Paris and
Havre dates to the evening of the 10th ult In
the one day that interviewed between the present
and our last accounts, little business was done
in the Chamber of Deputies. An election took
place for Vice President ofthat body, which re-
suited in the choice of NJ. Passy, one ofthe minis
tiers Of the three days, and who is said to be a
decided opponent to the treaty of indemnity to
this country.
The paragraph contained in this paper yes
terday, stating that the Emperor of Russia has
put forth claim TO indemnity for injuries in
flicted upon Poland by the French, is confirmed
by the Constitutional, which says, in reference
10 the subject" But the Doctrinaire Cabinet
which acknowledged the American debt, and
continues TO acknowledge il in spite OF the Cham
Der, will submit to any conditions, however hu-
initiating or burdensome, that may be imposed
Uponit."
This claim We consider as too preposterous to
be entertained by the French government for
an hour. Ii is like that of robber on the high
way, who, having plundered a citizen of all the
property he can find about him, nextturns round
and gravely undertakes to collect and appro-
pirate to his own use his debts also! We very

CoNNEcTIcUT STATE Prison. From
the annual report of the Directors Of the
Connecticut State Prison, it appears that
the number of convlcts in the prison at
this time is 207, of whom SO are blacks,
and 10 are females. They are employed
in various branches Of labor, viz 90 in
the carpente's shop, 81 in the smiths
shop, 45 in the chair shop, 43 in the cane
seating shop, II in the shoe shop, 22 in
the britannia ware shop, 7 as walters and
nurses, and 10 are invalids. The females
are employed partly in the kitchen, and
partly IN making cigars. About half the
convicts are let out by the day on con-
tracts. The income the last year from
the Ionvicts, including the receipts from
visiters, amounted to Sl7,384, making an
average of SOL 90 :or each. The whole
amount of expenses for the year, inclu-
ding prisoners and expenses Of the guard,
was $l2, or an average Of 500 II
for each. The prison has therefore made
profit on the labor of the prisoners of
p5,268. The Directors proposed that
separate block of cells, Is or 20 in num-
Der, should be built, 10 be paid for out of
the income Of the prison. The prison is
represented as well calculated for the safe
keeping of the prisoners, no one ever ha.
wing made his escape.
