such reply nor thought that any step would
be adopted until the decision OF inc AHiericdn
Legislature were known; much less did antici-
nate that the recall Of the French Minister at
Washington and dismsson of the American
Envoy at this Court would be coupled with the
announcement of the reproduction of the Claim
Bill into the House of Deputies at so early pc
Rod. These considerations induced me not 10
notice the rumor, and my silence was Justiheo
last night when was assured by Member OF
the House of Deputies and another individual
in close communication with Ministers, that, al
though certain parties in the Chamber llnciu-
ding sundry bankers with M. Theirs, M. de
Montavet and Louis Philippe himself, who are
suspected OF having long ago brought up

" urged the Government to bring in the Bill
again, they had as yet no idea ol Vehturi"e vi
50 obnoxious step. =,
Its presentation appears to have been the SUD
ject ofmuch discussion in the Council last nlght,
andthe appearance ofthe Moniteur's artcle mas,
can assure you created much more disgust than
alarm Its object is evdentlyto soothe the natlon'
al pride of la jeuae France which General JACK
son has wounded, and thereby to facilitate the a.
doption of measure which they have long been
seeking an opportunity Of obtaining without IN
curing the consequences which resulted last
year from IFS rejection. What will be the result
of the Bill in this new House it would be difficult
to predict though most assuredly General JACK
sons language is much more offensive than any
of those incidents that have so often excited
manifestations of bitter hostility to the Northern
Powers on the part Of our Legislature. But,
whatever be the issue be assured that LOUIS
Philippe has no idea of any thing more 'nan
bulying sortie and that il will not be MS iau!t II
any punpowder should ignite in consequence OIL

with an attack on the delenceless capital oltor-
tugal-with an insulting Eruption into the ter
ritory of the Pope-or the siege Ola citadel, when
assured beforehand that such fat de'drnles
NAV be achieved without any risk OF ats being
relieved by a diversions all very well; but the
lime is not come when the Citizen King VIII
deem himself secure enough at home to engagein

has taught the tri-colored flag not to- be Its tort
No. no, we shall have no war.
TEN MINUTES TO FoUR.-The Bourse has been
crowded to excess, and much agtated. YET
though the funds declined, the fall has been less
considerable than might have been expected.
That Louis Philippe and his ADVISERS nave tne
utmost aversion to coming to blows with Ame-
RIGA. and will do every thing in their power 10
prevent rupture, scarcely any one doubts; pu1
| il is feared that the excited Chamber OF Depu-
ties may reject the Bill again-and on the otner
| hand, most Of the Americans who are here, IN
| Guiding some capitalists Of emlnence, speak po
sitively as to the determination OF the american
| Government to obtain the whole sum OF o,OOO,-

Livingston. the United States Minister, has APP

that the American Bill would be presented to-

House. and it will only be introduced tomorrow.
II is said that the Moniteur's article was deter

remain as Charge d'Affairs at Washington,
and an American Secretary in the same capa'
city here. {.
| A correspondent of the London Courier writes
from Paris on the 18th of January, as follows
The Message of General Jackson to Con-
oress, relative to France, has provoked but one
Sentiment among all parties-that of indignant
contempt or, at least, something closely ap.
| proximating to it. II certainly argues little, but
! little regard for the ancient ally 10 whose aid
! America is in great measure indebted for ner
! independence. to-day, and as little knowledge

ment Had the Ministry been violently or un-
| Justly opposed to this claim-the justice OF
which is not now the questionable tone and te-
nor of the Presidents language coald scarcely
have been more hostile. 1t is not, however, py
any means calculated to accelerate the grant OF
the money, if such were the object of the Gene
raj, as win be shown by the proceedings in the
Chambers when the law shall be presented.
Another correspondent of the same journal
wrote on the preceding day, IS follows:
The Government is much occupied with the
American question. 1t is said that the King and
the House Of Wells were acquainted with the
Presidents Message four days before it was in
circulation upon Change. The King is very
desirous of paying the 25,QOO, OoOf One pro-
posal which has been thought of was subscrip-
ton among the bankers and capitalists OF the
kingdom; and, among other things, it is report
cd that the principal banking house OF Pais, IN
order to avoid fall in the funds, would willing
Ily give two millions of francs, But as it appears
that this plan could not be carried into effect,
the project wilIno doubt be again submitted to
the Chamber, and it is possible that eventually
il will be adopted. In the last vote which took
place upon it, NJ. Theirs, it is said supported
the opposition against the Duke de Broge; and
