VERY LATE AND IMPORTANT FIR ON

The packet ship Rhonc, Captain Rocket

sailed OH the 1lth February. BY this vessel,
we have received our Paris papers to the 9th
inclusive.
THE TREATY. Mr.. CLIYS
Tho Report of Mr.. Clay, from the Commit
tee Of Foreign Relations Of the Senate, on
the question with France, first reached Paris
by the way of England; and the arrival Of the
Francis J., conveying the unanimous vote of
the Senate, sanctioning that Report, was
most opportune, and produced ut once, the
happiest influence in favor Of the bill Of in
demnity. This vote was regarded as "a pal
pable censure upon the clause ofthe Message re-
tatice 10 France" The general aspect of the
question was Immediately changed. To quote
the language Of the Courier's Correspondent,
"neither war, nor outraged dignity, nor dam
ger to our commercial relations, is longer
thought of. Attention is entirely directed to-
wards The fair amount of the claims"
\ From our Private Correspondent.
\ PARIS, Feb. S,h, 1885.
H BY the proceedings in the Chamber of De-
puties on Thursday last, you will see that the
subject OF the American claim was referred
for examination in the several bureaux, and
that the committee, composed Of nine men,
bers, were nearly unanimous in favor Of a
Report recommending that provision be made
for payment, agreeably to the treaty. There
is no longer any doubt of the passage of the
bill in the Chambers, at the present session.
The opportune receipt Of Mr.. Clay's Report,
which Is regarded as exhibiting the sense of
tic Country upon this affair, has tended to ia
vor this result, and alay the asperity excited
by the Presidential message. 1t is gratify-
ing to learn that that lucid and dignfied state
paper, and the pacific resolution proposed by
the committee, received an undivided vote in
the Senate, that able and virtuous body which
has before proved the anchor Of our political
safety.

awe are glad to be able to say, that the
members OF the committee, named in the
Chamber, to report upon the Bill Of Indemni-
ty, are, with one single exception, all in ia
vor of 1t, and that what passed in the burcauy
before the nomination, is regarded as confr-
lnatory OF the general hope. that the Bill will
pass. The moderation of your Senate, is OBJ
served with great satisfaction"
II lfTom lie Constitutional, Feb. 9th.
The New-York Commercial Advertiser, of
the 10th, gives in full the report made to the
Senate of the United States, by its commit
tee of Foreign Relations and which was read
by MIR. Cluy. The extreme length of this
document, which occupies no less than seven
columns, printed in small character, will only
permit us to give short analysis of the part
relating to the claims against France. This
part we hasten to say, is extremely pacific
and completely ovcrthrows the President and
his message.
| The Times, gives long extracts from the
\ American Journals Of the 10th of January.-
1t was Mr.. Clay, according to the New.York
Commercial Advertiser, who read in the Sc
nate, the report Of the Committee of FOREIGN
Relations, on the affair of the twenty. FIVE
millions with France. 1t concludes by saw
ing, that the time has not yet come to invest
the President Of the United States with pow
er to order hostile reprisals against France.
