THE INDEMNITY.

THE INDEMNITY.
The latest intelligence from the French
Chambers, and which finds place in
our paper to-day, does not wear to our
eyes. fatterng complexion. We appre-
bend that the proposition of M. BIGNoN
to vote but 12 millions of francs, and to
leave the balance for future negotiation,
will meet with much favor and that a
considerable number who are reluctant
to grant the full amount, but at the same
time anxious to manifest wish to do JUS
tice, would find in this amendment mid
die ground which they could very con-
veniently occupy. The accompanying
extracts from journals and corresp onden-
ces speak as much. The most favorable
account by the latest arrival dimnishes
the expected majority for the treaty stip-
ulatlon to FIFTY.--.Ib.
Sales of real estate, to an enormous
amount, and at unheard of prices. have
been made in the city and neighbor-
hood of New York within the last two
months, and also in other of our CONNER
clal manufacturing Cities, The most
cautious and discreet Of the journalists,
were the spirits of speculation has spread
80 rapidly, appear to apprehend reac-
ton, such as has been heretofore expe-
rlenced upon similar sudden and unac-
countable advances in price ofreal estate.
With the veteran editor of the New
York Gazette, 1--WE sincerely hope that
the great prosperity and growing wealth
of our country will prove that those who
have so boldly speculated in real estate
have done so to advantage, thereby prov
ing that their judgments were their only
guide. Mat. Int. May 10.
