! declared the government understood the
impatienee of the chambers and nation,
but could not yet make known the result
of negotiations. - Il awaited an answer,
upon which its movements depend. All
{ foreign goyernmeats to which it had adj
dressed itself, appreciated the legitimate
complaint of France. He hoped that all
would soon be known to the chambers, but
must today appeal to the patriotism and
sense of policy of each member.
Mr. Arogo replied, that he desired as
much as any one 10 hear pacific de-
clarations. He must ask the Ministers on
Foreign Affairs, whether among the ques-
tions awaiting solutions, there were not
some which had nothing to do with the
case of Prince Leopold, and if so he must
conclude that the Government only sought
the pretext for war. ,fa ,I-..f - -

CORRECTION.

The clerk was understood to call the
name of Turney instead Of Turner, when
announcing the vote of Montgomery coGn-
ty. This is calculated to produce a wrong
impression. The whole vote of the coun-
ty, six in number, was cast for Col. J. j.
Turner, of Gallatin. If it was an error Of
the clerk it makes no difference, however,
in the general result.
