 French papers during the past week. On the reCeipg of inc news by the Oyheus most kinds of stOcks ex- cep, U. s. Bank, immediately declined, and French goods brandes silks, Sc. advanced from 10 % per cent so confident were the people that war would e"- sue But On the receipt of he news by the Sally, and the publication of the speech of the Minister of Fi nance, matters bore very different aspect-the news was considered of character so much more pacific, that insurance again fell about iis former standard, aud the price of stocks again rose. The sccuatiOnS of the New.York editors all showed that they were more sanguine that no would take place. or any thing approaching il, but that the debt which France owed this nation would shortly he paid.
 There is one passage iu the speech Of the Minister of Finance which contains a upon the Preai" den-who sometimes imagimes himselftO be the sDhOhe governmentparticuIarly and biting; and what renders i, more cutting is its truth. He snys-

 A paper has just been commenced at Washing City called " The Appeal" intended to advocate the election of Hugh Lawson White to the Presidency against the ofice-hodeFs' candidate, Mr. Van Bnren. We have not seen the paper; bn, judging from the notices in some of the " wholecreaure- Jackson" pa pers, we should think it would be likely 10 prove a thorn in their sides.
 Each branch of the legislature of Massachus has at length concurred in the election ol Gov. Davis foT Senator Congress. On the last ballot in the House he had majority of 3O-and in the Sen",e after Mr.. Adams was dropped, he had 20 out of39
  Washington, the excitement was great that ii ~as with difficulty quorum of either House of C"ngress could be kept together. It expected ,'a' il would give rise another hostile ssage from the President in few days.
 GP The importan, intelligence from France. ,oge. ,her with the press of communications, has excluded several articles intended for to-day's paper.

CO., Iored fellow, late of Sharon for adultery, on three coun,s found guilty each, and sentenced to six years hard labor in the State Prison.
 The Boston Com. Gazette, in commenting upon an article respecting the hoas,ed Jackson majority n the next Senate ofihe United States, says
 "One circumstance, in an especial manner, should be remembered by those who have any fears ot Jackson majority in the Senate afer the 4,h ot March nex-and that is, that since the accession ot President Jackson there has been an undOubted ma- iority in the Senate, of those who were chosen Jor' Jackson men, and by the Jackson pary-but so oura' geous have been many of the acts of his admi"stra- tion that they have actually been dipen into the Whig ranks and so it will be to the end of the chapter H our memory serves US, there have never been more than twenty National Republicans, as they were for- mery called in the Senate at one time slnce Jack has been President and yet the majority has Dee0 almost uniformly against him. We repeat then, there is bu, little fear that the adminsra will have the scendancy in the nexr Senate.
