A paper is published in Paris, called the Cor
sair, whose reputation rests upon satire express
ed in epigrammatic sentences and puns. We
extract few of its latest from the Courier DIES
Etdts URiS:
The Wellington Ministry say the Tory jour
mails sheen received in England with marked
approbation:-and two guards have been station
ed near the statue Of the great captain, to pre-
vent the English people from manifesting all
their affection for him.
The relation between the Chamber ofDeputes
and Louis Philippe is thus illusrated.-Put a
dozen puppies into bag and shake it; they will
commence tearing one another to pieces; but not
one will have the instinct to bite the hand " hich
holds the bag
The King transacted business yesterday with
two Of his Subjects.-In all France there are only
eight individuals who thus denomnate themse-
yes.
The journal DIES DebdtS affirms that the pres
ent ministers are the physicians of the country.
At all events they follow the Broussais systems:
blood, blood, always blood.

TO THE BENEVOLENT SWISS IN THE
UNITED STATES

TUNflE extraordinary and truly distressing ra-
Il wages produced last summer by foundations
in the Cantons Of Grison, Uri, Tessin, Nalais
as well as those Of Glaris and Bern, being such
as to require the assistance Of all the good Swiss,
to mitigate in some measure, the sufferings pro-
duced by such calamity:-The undersigned
has received, through the Federal Government
Of Switzerland, Circular from the Committee
of the Society of Public Utility, to their Consuls
in Foreign countries, descriptive of its extent
and injury, and directing the same to be made
known to you; convinced of the alacrity with
which you will hasten to forward such relief as
Kind Providence may enable you to extend to
your less fortunate Brethren
Those humane persons, therefore, moved by
the misfortunes Of a portion Of People not less
noted for their bravery than their industry, fru-
gality, and virtuous habts,-but possessing, by
their natural situation, very limited resources to
recover from such calamity,-who feel dis
posed to forward their donations to the subscr-
Der, to be transmitted to the aforementioned
Society through their Government, may rest as
sured of all the zeal and impartiality possible
in its distribution to the greatest sufferers and
the most needy. A. G.. CAZENOVE,

ALEXANDRIA,:
FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY le, 1885.

Tvs VAN buren, DNNER.-On the eighth OF the
present month, collection of Van Buren, mem
bers of Congress and others, met together IN
Washington, and ate great quantity of meats,
and drank much greater quantity OF wine, not
TO speak of other liquors forbidden by the Tenn
perance Societies, all under pretence OF glority-
ing General Jackson for the battle oil New Ut
leans--and praising the wisdom OF the lawglvers
who so arranged it that the National Debt DE-
came extingushed in the year lS34-although
that event had very nigh been prolonged, in
consequence off the waste and abuse of the pub
lie money by the present Administration, in ma
nv branches of the Government, but particular
ly in that sink Of iniquity and den of corruption,
the Post Office Department. We'll, at this afore-
said dinner, one Hon. T. II. Benton, who shot
General Jackson in the streets OF Nashville, and
afterwards wrote something about the East
Room, presided; and. among the Vice Presl'
dents was certain Hon. Isaac Hill-"so were
they all, all honorable men," And Mr. Benton
spoke, and Mr. Wayne spoke-who should not
have spoken; and Mr.. White spoke-who had
much rather been doing any thing else; and va
rious others spoke and Mr.. Hill did not read
for which, doubtless the company returned
thanks Well, by and by, an uproarious Ten
nessean jumps at, or upon, the table, and swears
that New-York is going little ahead OF any
thing else, and he'd be Id If tie West mustn't
have say; and then, after good deal of fuss,
the west had her say, and the Tennessean be-
came satisfied. Well, after that, the speeches
went on, and the toasts went out and the wine
went down, and the company HURaAE'p FOR
JAcKsoN-'to which complexion they all came
at iast'-and so our story's ended:
"And when a dinner next they eat,
May we be there to see."

ACTION OF TIE SENATE ON THE FRENCH TREATY.
The harmonious result Of the deliberations
OF the Senate on Wednesday last, on the sub
iect of our Relations with France, must be very
gratifying to Americans ofal parties. Especially
must MIR. Clay be gratfed, in the UNANIMOUS as
sent that was then given to the policy recon-
mended in his Report; for, however, much Sen
ators may have differed as TO particular facts
or arguments there adduced, they all united in
approving the main end and design of that re-
port, which were TO assume perfectly pacific
attitude for the present, and to adopt, at this
time, no legislative measures on the subject of
the Treaty.
The resolution with which the Report conclu-
ded originally was in these words:
ResoIred, That il is inexpedient, al this time,
10 pass any law vesting in the President author
ity for making reprisas upon French property,
in the contingency of provision not being made
for paying 10 the United States the indemnity
stipulated by the treaty of 1881, during the pre-
sent session of the French Chambers.
Mr. King, Of Georgia, moved, as an amend
ment the following:
"That as the French Chambers have been
convened earlier than was expected by the Pre-
sident of the United States at the opening of the
present session Of Congress, ii is inexpedient to
pass any law relating to the treaty of 1881, I'M
: iii further information shall be received from
France"
Mr.. Clay moved to amend this amendment by
striking out the first and last clauses Of the re-
solution.
Mr. Webster said he approved Of Mr.. Clays
suggestion, and had himself prepared resolu-
ton which he believed was uerbGiim with the
one then before the Senate" that is inexped;-
ent to adopt any legislative measures with re-
spect TO to the u s. and France" After debate,
Mr.. King consented to adopt Mr.. Clay's sug-
gestion and use nearly the words OF Mr.. Web
sters proposition and the question was finally ia
ken on the resolution modified to read as fol-
lows:
Resolred, Thatit is inexpedent at present to
adopt any legislative measures in regard to the
state of affairs between the u States and France.
And decided as follows:
YEAS.-Messrs Bell Benton. Bib, Black,
Buchanan, Brown, Calhoun, Clay, Clayton,
Cuthbert, Ewing Frelinghuysen, Grundy, Hen

proceedings Of the Senate on Wednesday, omit

Since preparing the above, we see it stated in
that miserable pander of power. the Globe, that
"Mr. Clay's resolution was overruled" The
Globe perhaps is the only newspaper in the
country that seeks to make this French business
mere party question, and the reader will thus

PARIS, It'll December
On receiving your letter, went 10 see Mr..
- on the subject of the French claims
and communicated what you wrote me- He
thereupon told me that he had yesterday talked
with ministers on the subject of the twenty-five
millions necessary to carry the American treaty
into effect. The ministers intend to present the
law therefore anew to the Chamber in about four
or six weeks. when the majority shall be a little
more assured.
MIR. - thinks the law will pass, as the min.
listers do not mean to make the question Cab-
net question, and thus will obtain several votes
from among the opposition, who otherwise
wsirld vote negatively. The first time it was
made Cabinet measure, now it will be one of a
purely commercial nature. Still, with the mo-
biliy of the Chambers, and the instability Of the
ministry in this country, it may turn out other
