UNITED STATES AND FRANCE


The following message was received
from the President of the United States,
by the hand Of -Asbury Dickns, Esq, and
read in the House Of Representatives on
Tuesday.
10 Me Senate and II. Of Representatives.:
Information has been received at the
Treasury Department that the four in
stalments under our treaty with France
have been paid to the agent of the United
States. In communicating this satislacto
ry termination of our controversy with
France, feel assured that both Houses
OF Congress will unite with me in desiring
and believing that the anticipations of a
restoration of the ancient cordial relations
between the two countries, expressed in
my former messages on this subject, will
be speedily realized. No proper exertion
OF mine shall be wanting to effacc the re
membrance of those misconceptions that
have temporarily interrupted the accus.
toned intercourse between them.

RAISE recruits in that State to set out for
Texas. If Houston can protract the war
Tor three months. Santa Anna will never
return TO the city of the Incas. The Tex
lans were guilty of a cardinal error in the
outset oil The campaign. Their success in
capturing San Antonio, and the cowardice
displayed by the Mexican garrison, inspi-
red them with contempt for their adverse

too great disparity of force. They have
been taught a lesson which will be of ser.

The Elections in this state have terminated !,
and the result is, (,hough we have not seen the
names of all the delegates returned) that the
next House of Delegates will be composed of 81
wings, and rs Van Buren, men. The Wings
have gained ten members, and lost nine I: so that
the strength Of the respective parties in the next
legislature, will be about the same as last win.
ter. But though the wings have not gained in
their strength in the legislature, they have gain
ed great accession in the popular vote Of the
state. The number Of votes polled by the wing
party throughout the State, is larger than it as
last year, and, had the issue of Van Buren, or
no Van Buren, been permitted TO come fairly be-
fore the people. and IFS merits, unbackcd by Of
fce holding influences, been the true points 10 be
decided, majority of wings, would, we firmly
believe, have been returned to the next House
of Delegates Of Virginia. In many counties the
people were led to believe. from the represent
atoms of the Office holding gentry, that the on
ly point a, issue, was the approval or condemna.
tion OF the course Of Mr.. Leigh, and that the ell
cotton of President was not, and could not be,
test question in this election and in some, the
dead bones of the Bank were ratified about the
ears of the people, for the purpose Of quilting or
soaring them out Of their votes, in short, all the
art, that could be used to induce them to support
the Van Buren, candidates, many of whom were
very popular, were resorted to-but great as
were the exertions Of the Vantes, aided mater-
ally, in many counties, by the supineness of the
Wings, they have barely succeeded in keeping
their numbers in the Legislature, and have lost
much of their strength with the voters OF the
state. 1t augurs well for the fall campaign when
there will be no ''finching'' from the real issue
an attempt to force the people to give their
| support to the nominated successor to the presi
dency. Courage, then, Wings of Virginia ye
have not gained majority OF members in the
next Legislature, but we have achieved enough
to inspire the hope that in the election for Pre-
sident, your state will yet be found in the ranks
Of the friends of constitution and liberty.
