 In the New York papers, of the 7th 2 inst, we find an annunciation of the arr- val of the packet ship FRANoIs DEPAu, which left Havre on the lst of February, bringing Paris papers to the 3lst Of Jan, inclusive.
 The Paris correspondent of the Courier =ndd d P Enquirer writes as follows under da,a of the 31st: ss1erewith 1 have the pleas- nre of sending you an early copy of the papers to be laid before the Chamber of Deputies on the subject of the treaty of 4th of July, 1881. l am assured by sev- eral of the leading members on both sides of the House, and more particularly by General Delaborde, the Senior Questeur, who kindly suffers me to mention his name, that that there IS o IoBgeT any doubt of IIl.- iority in favor of the recognition
 X letter, under the same date, from an American gentleman in Paris to his friend ii Now York, says: ''Afer I wrote last, I will in with several persons in whose judg- ment place much confidence. From Mr. Walles, learnt that party of about 30 members, who voted six months ago against the bill, have come round, and he thinks 1t will pass. Nj. GAUTIER, sub-Governor of the Bank and d peer of France, told me, that if nothing new of an irritating nature should be received from Congress-, within a month or six weeks, he not only thought the Chambers would pass the bill, but felt sure of ii, and this opinion he formed after conversing with many opposition mem bers."
 The Editor of the New York Ameri- can has received a letter of sill later date than either of the above. It bears the date of the Ist of February. The writer says According to all appearances, the Bill for Indemnity under Mir. Rives's Treaty, will pass the Chamber. The lie Lyons people. the Bordeaux people, and the uncertainty generally as to the result of this affair, which has had an unfavorable influence on commeree, will not fail to have weight with the Chambers. The tone of opposi- ton has lowered, and the Government par sy seem to have placked up courage of late. But whatever may he the result of the vote, which must now soon take place, rely upon #, the real spring to touch IS the Commerce of the country.
