THE FRENCH REVOLUTION.

Further particulars of the progress of the French
Revolution will be found in the interesting Letters
Of our London correspondent on the last page of
this paper.
1t will be seen, from one Of these letters that
the citizen who is said 10 have been appointed
by the Provisional Government Of France to be Min
lister to the u. States is NJ TRACY. He is the son of
the distinguished DEsTUTT TRACY, work from
whose hands "a commentary upon Montesquieu)
was translated nearly forty years ago by Mr. JET
FERsoN, after his retirement from public life, and in
the translated form was published in the city of
Philadelphia.
The son, who comes out as Minister TO this coun-
try, is we are glad to learn, gentleman of charac-
ter as well talent, such as to entile him, aside
from the important object of his mission, to a kind
and cordial reception. He will be the more well
come as being connected, by marriage, with the
family of LAFAYETTE.
The Minister from the late Government of
France to the United States Nj. PAGEoT, is under
stood to have apprzed this Government, as soon as
the news of the overthrow Of that Government was
fully confirmed, that he no longer considered him
self the representative of the French Government
TO the United States.

THE PEACE TREATY, AT NEW ORLEANS.

The news of the consent Of the Senate having
been given to the ratification of the Treaty of Peace
with the Republic of Mexico appears to have been
received with sincere satisfaction by the Press of
the city of New Orleans as by that of any part of
the Union.
The Bee says of it. that +" the country will learn
with the, highest satisfaction that the Treaty has
been ratified by the United States Senate"
The PicayeHae says, after announcing it:
:" There is something cheerful in the sound
I. of peace. There is charm in the word which
soothes the chafed and bruised spirit. Kinder
and more charitable thoughts dispace the re-
vengefu fances which usurped the mind Of the
nation, and gentle reveries succeed the rude i'm
pulses which possessed the people. After all,
battles are hard purchasers, and glory the luxu-
ry Of cruelty. We have heard so much of the
lannon's roar that the tinkling bell is welcome
change"
Other papers Of the same city hold tantamount
language on the subject
