Eftr0ef from 1T .h""'
tear, a semi.cGcial from
the Minister Of Finance.
San explanatory notice
added to a prospect of q
loan of31 millions Of francs
ssued on account Of the
State Of Texas, mentions
n the enumeration of the
securities given to the lend
ers, the payment into the
French public Treasury of
25-l00 ofthe nominal capt.
tai of the loan until the
fourth of the loan in capt.
tai and interest shall have
been reimbursed. 1t is
thought necessary to inform
the public, that if the COM
pany which, by the 9th ar
ticle OF the Prospectus, has
made known its intention
TO invcst.in Treasury Bonds
the 25-l00 retained, has
the right 10 make use of n
faculty offered at this mo-
ment 10 every body, it does
not imply that the public
Treasury has assumed any
obligation which would call
for any Intervention what
ever on the part of the Go
yernment in the transaction
above mentioned. The in
vestment in Treasury bonds
is but 4 general regulation,
and remains subordinate
as much in itself, as with
respect TO the conditions
which govern that part OF
the service ofthe Treasury,
to the measures Of which
the administration reserves
10 itself the application and
use.
at is Of consequence 10
make known that the Go
vernment has contracted in
that respect no particular
obligations with tie house
which has assumed the ne
gotlation Of the Loan for
Texas. IL is necessary to
remind the public in this
circumstance of the princi'
pie determined on by the
Royal Decree of 18th No
vember, ls23, which for
rnally declares that the Go
vernment does not intend
to approve foreign loans or
assume the obligation TO in
tervene in favor Of French

VETO NO. w,

John Tyler has again nobly interposed to save the
country from the pernicious legislation of corrupt
and reckless majority in Congress The second Ia
riff bill is vetoed The Wings have endeavored to
pass law giving away to the States the proceeds of
the public lands, which the Government absolutely
needs to meet its ordinary expenses, and supplying
the deficiency in the revenue by onerous taxes upon
the people. The President has exercised his const-
tutiona power to prevent this act of folly and wick
edness Every honest man will say that he is right.
the tax-paying millions will generously sustain him.
The voice of the people will cheer him onward in
the path of duty, and confound and annihilate that
mad and Infamous faction which is making upon
him and the best interests of the county.
The President and the Democratic members of
Congress ready to impose whatever duties will be
necessary to raise for the support OF the Go
vernment But they not willing to give away the
land fund-which ought as sacredly to be devoted
to paying the public expenses money derived from
customsand lay additional taxes upon the people to
make up for what has been thus unconstitutional
ly squandered. Aside from the land fund, the public
revenue must be drawn from the pockets of the peo-
pie. This must be done by taxation. The Demo-
Gratis contendng for the lowest possible taxation;
the Wings for the highest. This the people should
understand. What in favor of, is taxation for
revenue, and that as light as it can be made. Com
peng the taxpayers to give more, and for any other
object, is injustice and tyranny. 1t is for those who
have pay to decide what policy shall prevail in the
country. An enlightened public cannot hesitate to

THE TREATY,

The announcement yesterday that the treaty just
negotiated between the United States and Great Bri-
tain had been ratified by the Senate, filled our commu-
nity with gladness. Several merchants during the
afternoon assembled on board the packet ship Roscoe
and St. James, lying at the foot of Maiden Lane and
with the use of couple OF six FOUNDERS on board,
fred salute of one hundred guns in honor of the
event. and as an expression of their JOY. Every pa
trio and christian may well exult in this treaty. 1t
exhibits two great nations acting on ph'lanthroPc
principles in the settlement of controverled points,
and acting with moderation and generosity. Such
scenes we are sorry say have seldom been witnessed
on our earth Controversies less important than these
which are now amicaby adjusted have generally in
volved nations in bloody and deso'atng wars, which
were only ended when the parties had become too
much enfeebled to fight longer. The two great Pro-
testan christian nations of the earth have in this mat
ter set an example worthy to be initiated by all the
tons. This treaty will do more than put end tc
controversy. 1t will create sentiments of mutual re-
gard between Brtons and Americans. We hope tina
hereafter nothing but generosity will characterize thu
J intercourse of the two nations

DANIEL WEBSTER.

The ultra Wings after having abused this dstin-
gushed public functionary in unmeasured terms, for
not resigning his office, with Ewing and the rest of
Mr.. Clay's friends in that Cabinet, are now holding
out the olive branch, and reckoning him to join in
heading President Tyler
/ If Daniel Webster has any laurels in nego-
tating treaty with England, it looks to very
improbable that he will lay them at the feet of Hem
ny Clay, for the boon of playing second fiddle in
the ultra Wing orchestra He has too sound
mind not to have seen that the people do not dance
to that music. We have no doubt that Mr. Web
ster has negotiated treaty which, when its terms
known, will do him great credit, and render
him popular with the people; and we should be less
surprised to his friends bring him into the field for
the highest honor in the nation, than we should to
find him licking the dust from the feet of men who,
in and out of Congress, have violently assailed his
character, and loaded him with all kinds of abuse
They have gone far as to accuse him of using
his official power to enable him TO violate the wife Of
an applicant for Office Can he forgive such offences,
perpetrated they probably have been with view to
render him odious in the public eye2
We think not. Ii he has succeeded in settling the
impressment question, which caused the last war, in
. manner honorable to this country if he has
brought the boundary question to satisfactory adj
ustment: in fine if he has placed the relations Of
the United States with England upon tho busis of
lasting and honorable friendship-the achievement
will bind his brow with unfading wreath which he
will consent shall wther in the embrace ofmen
who have recently become his revilers, and in whose
embrace he must fall into political grave, from
which there is no resurrection.

From the Charleston Patriot.


Mr.. ADAMS REPORT is an elaborate attempt to
prove that providing revenue and giving it away
means the same thing. The people have intelligence
enough to determine on the suficency of this logic
But the report ends with the most singular sug
gestions that imbodied in legislative docu
ment, to wit:
That an amendment of the Constitution be sub
mitted by Congress to the people, providing that a
bill may pass if reconsideration majority of
that body should be found in its favor This is HARM
lessit is in fact unadulterated nonsense. Il majo-
riy required to confirm the act Of majority!! Why
this involves the very principle that .justfes in one
at least the exercise of the veto, to w.t. that
majority in Congress may pass an act without due
elaboration and through passion and preciptancy,
which on more mature reflection and reconsideration
may be again taken up and confirmed, with this only
difference that the number required for confirmation
is reduced below the constitutional requirement.
Now If Mr. Adams had proposed some Intermediate
number, between mere majority and two-thirds,
there would all events, have been no such intrin-
sic absurdity as is embraced in his proposition for
amendment. But the idea of an Executive check,
which is counter-checked by the majority whose
act negatived, presents truly original conception
of the balance of power between two departments Of
government. 1t is certainly such suggestion of inn
provement the work of the Fathers of the Constr
tuition which shows that Mr. Adams is not such an
improver will find favor with the people, any more
trust than his negative recommendation that
Congress should adjourn without action on the sub
ect of revenue, having pronounced that under exist
ing acts duties cannot be legally collected will re-
ceive the countenance of that body.
