A gentleman at Washington, who has the best mean.
OF information, writes US, that awe have nothing new
from France. No one, however douJts but that the an

Humann Minister of Finance submitted the Bill 10 The
Chamber of Deputies 1t before the IOt March
mat NJ jay made the Report, from the Committee of g
Eighteen days utter, the discussion came on The
Debate continued four days. and the question was taken
on the LIST April. Yet it is highly probable from the
critical state OF the relations between the two countries
that the question will be much earlier decided at the pre
sent session. - r.
But let it reach when it may it will be seen that
the PRESIDENTS Message has mainly contributed TO its
issue: i -

IMPORTANT OPINION.


The annexed opinion Of Judges Belts and Thompson,
pronounced this morning before the Grand Jury Of
the Circuit Court sitting in this city.
1t will relieve the friends Of Texas from anxiety
in regard TO past movements, and give them confidence
in respect to what is future.
The Grand Jury Of the United States for the Southern
District of New York in the second Circuit, respectful.
ly submit to the Honorable Circuit Court of the United
States the following inquiry in relation matter al pre-
sent under their consideration:
sis it, not violation of the 9th section Of the Act
Of Congress passed the 10Th of APRIL lcl6 entitled
an Act addition all Act for the punishment of crimes
against the United States therein mentioned that meet.
ngs should be held in this District and committees APP
pointed TO provide means and make collections for the
purpose of enabling the inhabitants of Texas engage in
civil war with the sovereignty OF Mexico nvw peace
with the United States.
" (signed) GIDEON TUCKER"
In answering the foregoing enquiry the Court will con-
fine itself to the fact stated and the section of the law
referred to- The enquiry is, whether meetings held in
this district State and committees appointed to provide
and make collections for the purpose of enabling
the Inhabitants Of Texas TO engage an coA ,enr cih the
Sovereignty Of .Hexico is violation of the section Of
the law referred to- That section Of the Act is fol-
lows
"Sect g. And be it further enacted that if any per-
SHALL within the terri tory jurisdiction of the u
States, begin or set OIL foot provide prepare the
for any military expedition enter prize, 10 be
carried rom thence usai""t ,I. '"--;'".;"" Io"i
Mons ofany foreign Prince State, or Of any colony,
district or people, with whom the United States are at
peace every person offending shall be deemed guilty
ola hi Oh nsdemeanor, and shall be fined exceeding
three thousand dollars, and imprisoned not more than
three years"
This section applies only to military expeditions and
enterprises to be carried from the United Safes against
any foreign power with which We arc at peace No
person shall begin foot provide prepare
the for any military expedition enterprise to be
carried from Mencc, that u.s. from the United States,
or the territory within their jurisdiction. Donations in
money, any thing Else, TO tie inhabitants of Texas,
to enable them to engage in civil with the
regnty Of Mexico, is ginning setting
foot, or providing the for military expedition
from tic United States their territory. The answer,
therefore, to the question put by the Grand Jury is that
the facts stated do not amount any offence under the
9TH section Of the Act referred TO-.
