Since the above was in type, we have
received the N. Y. papers Of Saturday
evening, containing very important and
gratifying intelligence in relation to our
affairs with France.
The packet ship Rhone, from Havre,
bringing Paris papers to the 9TH of Jam

from Liverpool, with London to the 7th

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
HAD BEEN RECEIVED IN PA
RIS, AND PRODUCED AS FA-
tVORABLE AN EFFECT AS
COULD HAVE BEEN DESIRED.

We find the following letters in the Eve
ming Star, from the Rothschilds to the Mes
srs. Josephs, of Wall-street. There is good
reason, from the tenor of these letters, to be-
lieve that the question is settled, and the diff
fculties with France at an end. 1t is said
that special government messenger arrived
in the st. Andrew, and proceeded forthwith
TO the seat of government.
Extract of a letter from N. M. Rothschild, dat
ed London, January 9th, to Messrs. J. l.. g.
s. Josephs & Co. of this city,
"The message of your President has pro-
duced at Paris as favorable an effect as could
he desired upon the question with which
France has been at variance with your gov
ernment, and am happy to inform you that
the French government is now prepared to
make the payment, on account of the indem.
nifty, as soon as applied for. All kinds Of
stocks and American securities will expert
ence the benefits of this result"

In the Legislature Of New York, on We'd
nesday, the 10th inst. the following resolution,
introduced by Mr.. Wetn,ore, was adopted.
Resolved, That the committee on the mil
tia and the public defence be instructed to
inquire into the facts connected with the oms-
sion Of the name Of Lieut.. Daniel Turner, Of
the U. s. Navy, from the vote Of the legisla-
ture of this state, for the presentation Of
swords to such Of the officers engaged in
achieving the victory of Lake Erie, as were
natives of the state of New York; and that
said committee report to this house whether
in their opinion, it is not due alike to Capt.
Turner, and to proper sense 0f public JUS
tice. (ifi shall appear that any wrong has in
advertently, or through misapprchen been
done to that officer,) that the necessary inca
sures should be adopted to repair the injury"
From the remarks of Mr.. Wetmore. made
on introducing the resolution (says the N.
Commercial Advertiser it appears that Lieut..
(now Captain) Turner, was the officer third
in rank, at the battle of Lake Erie-that he
was specially noticed in the dispatches of
Commodore Perry, rs having brought his ship
gallantly into action, &c. The Legislatures
of New York and Rhode Island voted swords
to all the officers engaged in that battle from
each of their own states respectively; but the
name Of Lieut.. Turner was omitted by the
legislature of New York, from q suppostion
that he was a native Of Rhode -Island--and
vice versa. The fact however, is, that Lieut.
T. is native Of Staten Island, in this state.

the greatest pleasure in announcing to you
that that document, so admirable for the con-
siderate, digni6ed, and conciliating manner
in which it presents the facts bearing on the
point about which so much anxiety was felt
on all sides, has produced here the most ia
vorable sensation in every quarter, raised the
scrupes of this Government, and determined
them to inform yours, through the English
Cabinet, that they are ready to fulfil the f.

ENGLAN ID.

LONDON, Dec. Both, 1885.
The Presidents message arrived here this
morning from Liverpool, by express. The
vessel, which brought it to England, the In
dependence, capt. Nye, left New York on the
9th December. and reached Liverpool yester-
day ut | o'clock.
Persons of all parties here, concur IN prals-
ing the Presidents statement relative to the
misunderstanding between the United States
and France. The determined, yet moderate
tone which has been assumed IN making the
erp0se, has been most happily chosen, and
the arguments are so well put, that the gen
eral opinion is, that France has not been lett
a leg to stand on. Indeed she seems latterly
to have been aware of the awkwardness OF
her position, and accordingly it was formally
announced, since | wrote last, that an offer
of mediation had been made by Lord Gran
vile, oil the 25th, on the part Of England,and
had been accepted OH the 9th.
Every possible effort has been made by
France, to obtain the message before the
meeting of the Chambers. a powerful steam
er has been dispatched to the mouth Of the
channel, to meet the Havre packet, though it
was generally supposed that it would be first
brought to this country, and then to France
from London.
The Presidents message was published in
the London papers of Dec. 80.
The Morning Herald of that date also con-
tains an official announcement from the Paris
Moniteur of the 9th, that the proposition
made by earl Granville to the French 60
vernment to adjust the difference between
France and the United States, had been ac-
luiesccd in by the French government.

1t is with pride and pleasure (says the Ma
tional Intelligencer)th we recognise, in yes
terday's Message from the President to Con-
gress, the evidence of the triumph of wise
counsels in our Government. The very form
and manner Of the Message distinguish it
from the Celebrations Of the lower Cabinet,
and show il to be the work of the Constitu-
tional advisers ofthe Executive. The Presi-
dent has yielded his own opinion to the unan-
imous opinion of his Cabinet. In doing SO,
he has acted magnanimously; whilst, by the
frmness and union Of their counsels, his Cab.
met proper deserve honor aud gratitude from
the Country.
We take no exception whatever to the terms
Of the message. When the honor or indie.
pendence Of the Nation are in any way con-
cerned, we shall be among the first to desire
to see them vindcated, and do not object,
to see them guarded, as the Presi-
dent says they have been, in acceptance Of
the mediation. And as to the improvement
of the defences of the Nation, Fixed or foat-
ing, we are in favor Of il, to reasonable ex-
tent, as part of true national policy, depen-
dent for its justification, not on external cir
cums.nnces or contingencies, but upon its in.
trinsic wisdom.

Naval DEPoT.-The appropriations
for improvements in the Navy Yards a,
Portsmouth, N. II. Charlestown, Brook
Ilyn, sc. we're debated last week in the
House Of Representatives, on a motion
Of Mr.. Bell, Of Tennessee, to reduce the
amount Of the appropriation for Ports
mouth from $67 900 to $35, 500. We
are panied TO see, that the prospect OF
obtaining a Naval Depot at this port, or
some other point in Narraganset Bay,
which the circumstances Of the times had
rendered SO promising, is nearly destroy
ed by the strange and suicidal course of
our immediate Representative. In the
debate on these appropriations, Thurs
day, Feb. llth, Mr.. ID. J. Pearce made
a speech, two hours long, in which after
stating the advantages Of Narragansett
Bay for n naval station, he renewed the
attack, which he volunteered about two
years ago, on the works and yards at
Charlestown, Brooklyn, Philadelphia,
Washington, &C., representing Charles
town in particular as only fit for subsi-
diary establishment to the extensive de-
pc, j, was proper to erect within our own
waters. The consequence will be that
the delegations Of Massac husetts, New
York, and Pennsylvania, and even of
Maryland and Virginia, comprising a.
bout one half the liousc) from feeling
Of State pride and local preference, will
necessarily be arrayed agains, us, as il
were in self defence. We do not charge
Mr.. Pearce with a wiliul design to de-
feat this measure, but a more unfortu-
nate and ill-directed mode Of sustaining

1t is with no ordinary feelings of plea
sure and gratified patriotism that we lay
before our readers the recent intelligence
from France, 50 auspicious to the best
hopes and interests Of our wide spread
confederacy. The difficulties with our
ancient ally and friend, which threaten
ed to involve us, for the absurdest rea-
sons, in the miseries and ncertainties Of
war, are most happily and finally adjust
ed by the honest and intelligent course
of the French King himself. 1t will be
seen, that, in addition TO the article from
the Journal des Debats, which speaks
the sentiments Of the French Ministry,
and which we publish at length in this
days paper, letters have been received
in New York from the Baron de Roths-
child, the banker Of our government IN
Paris, which assure his correspondents
in this country, that the message commu-
nicated by the President at the opening
Of Congress is entirely satisfactory to
the Ministry, and that notice Of the rea-
diness Of France to pay the first install
ment us required by the Treaty, will be
forwarded to America through the Brit
ish Government, our chosen friend and
mediator. 1t is said, also, that mes
senger from England, charged with this
information, has come out in the St. An
drew and proceeded Immediately to
Washington.
We have always felt and expressed
an entire belief in the good wishes and
intentions Of the French Executive, if
left to itself, in regard TO this business;
and an equal confidence, that the mes.
sage at the opening Of Congress, howev-
er perplexed with collateral matter, would
afford the explanation, which justice and
courtesy required at our hands to friend
ly and co-equal power, which, whether
right or wrong, had deemed itself woun-
ded where it was most sensitive-in its
national honor. 1t is fortunate, that the
good sense and discretion of Louis Phil
lippe, so conspicuous in the most trying
ci circumstances, have served him so effect
ually on this occasion. tis equally for.
tunate for our own beloved country, that
we have found in the tried intelligence
and patriotism and conservative powers
Of the SENATE, so sure a barrier ag ainst
the follies and indiscretions, and bad
temper, Of another department Of the
Government where, judging from the
theory Of our institutions, we should look
for properties the most opposite. Little
do the mass Of our countrymen reflect,
in their career Of industry and high
fledged prosperity, from what a preci-
pice they have escaped-almost provi-
dentially!

THE LEGISLATURE.

In addition TO the proceedings Of the
Assembly, published on our first page,
the following summary from the Provi-
dence Journal, embraces the substance
of their doings up to the time Of adjourn
ment on Saturday evening at 10 o'clk-
Mr.. Doris bill to abolish imprison-
ment for debts Of $50 and under, and to-
take away from creditors the power Of
keeping their debtors in Jail, by leaving
one dollar week after they have been
sworn out upon debts Of $50 and under,
was postponed to the next session.
7 he bill on the subject Of Licenses,
which was reported on Thursday, was
lost on Saturday by the casting vote Of
the Speaker, the House voting 90 for and
90 against the bill.
The Election Bill which occupied a
very considerable portion Of the last
three days Of the session, was taken up
and passed in the House on Friday, af-
tor much debate. 1t was subsequently,
concurred in by the Senate, some a
mendments having been made to h,which
were acceded to by the House. We
shall not now attempt to state the provi-
sions Of this act, as il will soon be pub
lished in an official form, as one Of the
laws of the State.
The Resolutions reported by Mr.. Hsz-
ard, from the Committee appointed on
the communications from the Legsla-
lures Of North s. South Carolina, Geor-
gia and Alabama, on the subject Of abO-
li'ion pamphlets and doings, after con-
siderable discussion, were postponed to
the next session, together with the Bill
