LATE FROM FRANCE
The packet ship Rhone, Capt. RocI(Ia'r'r. ar-
rived yesterday morning,_ sailed from Havre on
the lltli ult. and has brouglit iis papers to that
date.
The report and resolution of the Senate. 011 1116
subiect ofour Relations with France, which was
unzininiously adopted, reached Paris on the 5th,
and appears to have had a favorable ellecton the
Frencli public. .
It does iiotappear that there had yet been any
final action on the American Indemnity bill, but
it seems that a large majority of the committee
of the Cliambers, to whom the subject was refer-
red, have declared themselves in favor of the
bill, and there‘ can now be but little dotibt ofits
passage. , _
Our eoi'respon'dcnt ‘at Marseilles, under date
of Feb. 2d, says :——-“The Pi‘esideut’s Message
has had some effect on American vessels here,
as those waiting freiglits do not even get an of-
fer, Swedish and other foreign vessels being pre-
' ferred under the present aspect oftliings between
the United States and France. The prejudice
here against the American claim, is very strong.
All the Am. vessels that have left this port for
Sicily, have been obliged to go to Malta to per-
quarantine before they can be admitted.”
__ PARIS, Feb. 7.—\Ve have papers and letters
from New York to the 1Gtli ult. from which we
learn, that the Senate had unanimously adopted
rt-he report given in by Mr. Clay, and thus de-
cided, that there was no ground to authorize the
President, Jackson, to take any discretionary
measure with reward to the question with France.
.This resolution is "a palpable censure upon the
clause in tli Message relative to France.
PARIS Fe . 7.---The question of the Ameri-
‘can indemnity has been examined in the l)Zl"I‘C(lZl."U,
or standing Committees of the Chamber of De-
puties. The investigation commenced with an
‘inquiry into the motives which induced Miiiis-
‘ters to allowtlie President of the U. States to sup-
pose that the concurrence of the Fiench Chain-
bers was unnecessary to the fulhlnient ot the
"treaty. Theinterval which had elapsed between
‘the exchange and ratification of the treaty and
its presentation to the Chamber was next made
the s‘i'ibje'ct of severe comment, inasmuch as Gen-
-eral Jackson, who, in consequence of the proii1-
ises made to him, confidently reckoned upon the
adoption of the bill, had conceived li1inselfau-
tliorized to draw upon the French Government.
In several of the burcazmt, Ministers were
taxed with having furnished incomplete and in u-
- tilated documents, and with having kept back
the correspondence which took place between
the United States and the French Government
previously to 1831. It was also alledgetl that
the meager documents which had been presen-
ted to tlib Chamber contained no memoir or oth-
er papers from the American agents, clearly es-
. tablishing the origin of the claims and produc-
- ing evidence of their amount. In reply to these
rcharges, Ministers urged the impossibility of
printing the immense mass of documents that_re-
ferred to the liquidation of the accounts, adding
that if required they should be communicated to
the Members of the Commission. The Minis-
terial Deputies insisted on the ini policy of alien-
ting from France so old and firm an ally as
' merica. Almost all the commissioners named
n tli§_burrcau.‘c pronounced tliciiisol\'es in favor
f the grant, though from dilfcrcnt motives.
Extract of a letter from Paris, dated 7th Feb.
183-3. “\Ve are glad to be able to say, that the
.Members of the Committee, named in the Cham-
ber to report upon the Bill of Ii_id_cm_nity, are
with one single exception all in favor of it, and
that what passed in the Bureaux before the
nomination, is regarded as confirmatory of the
general hope, that the Bill will pass. The ined-
eration of your Senate is observed with great
satisfaction.”
Extract of a letter, Paris, Feb. '7—“Goods at
Lyons, niaiutain their prices, and I begin to
think that goods for the coming season will
go out as high, or nearly as high, as the past
season. The tlitlcrence between the two coun-
‘tries, now, has no important influence upon
business operations; indeed, at the highest point
of excitement, there was a trifling depression in
-the price of goods. .
In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies,
Feb. 2d, the Minister for Foreign Allairs said
that as all the documents relative to the Amer-
can claim had been laid on the table, printed
and distributed, together with an extract of the
official correspondence between the French
Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States
and the President J ackson’s government, in con-
sideration to the political and commercial inter-
est attached to this question, now urged the
Chamber to lose no time in appdihting the Coin-
mittee on the Bill relative to the American trea-
I ’.
I The Chamber, on the proposition of M. Gir-
aud, decided that the bill should be examined in
the Committees on Thursday next.
“A letter from Messrs. \Velles «S6 C0. of Paris,
received by the Rhone, says, “The indemnity
bill will probably pass the Chambers in all the
month (Feb.) by a majority of about 50."
Mir. CAi.iioUiv’s Ri~:roit'r.—'l‘lie great report
of this eminent stateman, on the powers and pat-
ronage of the Executive, will be found on the
fourth page of this day’s paper. All that is as-
ked of the people of this country is to 7-cad-to
open their cars and eyes to the dangers that
threaten the Union, by allowing the General
Government to possess an immensely increasing
power, which unless checked, must eventually
swallow up the State Governments. The pres-
‘ent is a crisis in the history of our country. A
" daring plot has been for som.e time in agitation,
between the Albany.Regency and the Kitchen
,Cabinet at \Vashingtou, to unite the power and
‘patronage of this State and of the General Gov-
ernment, to coerce the opinion of men in support
of the executive power and the succession. In
proof of this, we state that Van Buren has sent
:1‘. orders to his committees at Tammany Hall to
1 make out a list ofevery man in oflicc opposed to
f his election as President, and to send the same to
9*‘. Washington by a delegation, in order that the
removals may take place .’ and it has been done.
1' Freedom of opinion, among men in office, is
' no longer known in our country, and the govern-
, ' ‘cent is administered for the benefit of the rat-
lers, and not of the people. The army ofplace-
fjimen and pensioners are all 1.0 be brought ino the
V", field as mercenaries, and of them, General Jack-
glson and his lieutenant may say, as Federick the
Great said to one of his ministers, “Look at that
army of80.000' men; there is not a man among
1them who has not more bodily strength than you
- ._or I, and many ofthem equal in point of capac-
ity and knowledge, and yet they are all gorcrn-
"d, and submit in fear and dread. \Vliy? It
is the law of habit and discipline. \Vere it not
I'll’ this either might take my place, and compel
1.1!‘. to take his.”-—N0ah..

Six iuo'M'i'iis IN A eoNvEi\"r.—'We under-
stand that Messrs. Russell, Odiorne and Co. of
this city, have in press and will very soon pub-
lish in aliandsome volume, the narrative of Miss
R. T‘. Reed, a highly respectable young lady
of this city, who two or three years since was
induced to become an inmate of the Ursuliiie
Convent in Charlestown ; but who, after a res-
idence there of five or six months, became un-
happy and found means to effect her release and
return to her fronds. \Ve are told that she has
not attempted any logical argument for or against
the institution; that she has not indulged in any
harsh language. or abusive epithets, nor aimed at
a display of elegant coiiipositicn ; but in a plain
and simple manner, she has told the story of
what she saw, and heard, and was required to
do while within the walls of the cloister-.
Convents liitlierto, in this country, have been
literally shrouded in secrecy. None but the in-
mates are ever allowed to witness their ceremo-
nies; aiid no one who assumes the veil is ever
permitted to report to her friends what transpires
within the secret place. This first attempt,
then, to present an accurate picture of the inte-
rior of the establishment whose wanton destruc-
tion has caused so much excitement in the
community, will, it is presumed, receive from
all classes, the welcome it deserves, and be du-
ly appreciated by an inquiring public.

*.fiNottvitlistantling the press of ‘iinpoi't.'iiit
matter on hand, we give place to the proceedings
of the “Rail-Road Meeting” held at Norwalk on
the 6th inst. It will be seen that our eiiterpris—
ing neighbors are preparing to co-operate with
us in this great public improveinciit—sucli eve-
ry reflecting mind must acknowledge it to be—-
iior can there be a reasonable ‘doubt but that
stock invested in such a Road will be good at
the out set, while every month and week, it will
be growing still better. The Norwalk Gazette
says “every man concerned in mechanical,
commercial or protbssioual business-—e.very hol-
der of real estate—every farmer interested in the
establishment ofa ready niarket—must feel a di-
rect interest in its success.” To all this we most
heartily respond, and in the laconic language of
the fair famed David Crockett, we say, gentle-
men “GO—AHEAD.”
From the Norwich Comicr.
It cannot too frequently nor too strongly be
urged upon the \Vhigs, that no consideratioiis
growing out of our policy with foreign nations,
should be permitted to divert their atteiitiou from
misrtile and bad government at home. If war
must eventually occur, we trust that our cause
will be so far just as to unite the people in its
support; but war is yet, we hope, far distant,
and is in fact too remote, in any way to effect
the question at issue at the polls. The election
takes place in the short space of tliroe weeks,
and has no other bearing upon peace or war, than
the iniportance of having men in powerin whom
confidence can be placed, in case the latter un-
fortunately occurs. The controversy to be de-
cided is altogether of a domestic nature. and is
neither more nor less than whether we shall
have rulers ofintegrity and patriotism, friends of
‘the Constitution, and of sound principles, politi-
cal and moral—or whether we shall place men
in ollice who aspire to high stations for office’s
sake, and who are governed by no other consid-
erations than the profit that is to be obtained from
them. Jonipare the two tickets presented for
the sulli'-ages of the people. On the one hand,
we see every thing that is desirable in candidates
for the respective places—meii tried and never
found waiiting—old and faithful servants, whose
whole lives are ample security for their fidelity,
and whose honesty and firmness are utterly un-
impeacliable. Oiitlieotlier, wliatdo we behold ?
raw recruits in the service of a part}/—inen who
make their devotion to him the ground of their
claim for election to olfice——at the very same
time they openly avow that their motive for al-
lowing themselves to be thus used as the mole nf
a faction, is the small modicum of emolument
that is attached to the station. But were their
talents and patriotism as great as both are know-
ingly and alarmingly deficient, there are consid-
eratons growing out of the characters of certain
individuals upon the list, which should condemn
not only themselves, but their associates, to that
privacy in life which is their proper place.—
Some of them hold opinions upon certain topics,
which entirely precludes the idea that they are
honest man, in that broad acceptation of the term
which implies that unbcnding integrity which
commands and retains implicit confidence. The
Tory candidates are put up as party men, to be
used for p(£7‘l_7/ purposes. They wholly disclaim
any such obligations as legislating for the welfare
of the people at large; btit limit their views en-
tirely to the furtherance of the benefit of the fac-
tion to which they belong, and the chief who has
placed liimselfat their head. Our opponents are
tories, in every point that makes them obnoxious
to the lovers of freedom and civil liberty, and as
such should be opposed with energy and zeal.
AN Aniti~:s'r.—-Col. Swift, the Mayor of Phil-
adelphia, has succeeded in arresting one of the
most skilul counterfeiters in the United States,
if not the very chief of the craft. He has also
secured all the implements of the culprit’s labor
—the steel dies, presses, stamps, perfected plates,
and every thing connected with the art and mys-
tery of counterfeiting. \Ve are not permitted as
yet to give the name and all the minute partic-
ulars of this arrest, but we feel well convinced,
that when the whole history of the transaction is
submitted to the public, the highest praise will
be awarded to the Mayor, for his indefatigable
exertions to bring to justice so accomplished a
villain. He has resided for some months in the
lower part of Philadelphia, and has during the
whole period, been engaged in preparing a plate
with the object of engraving notes ofthe denom-
ination often dollars on the Bank ofthe United
States. The Mayor was aware of_ his move-
ments, and watched him narrowly, determined
to arrest him the moment he was in possesion of
sufficient testimony to convict him. The offeri-
dcr succeeded in perfecting the plate--—printed
off about one hundred notes, and had paper in
readiness for an immense sum of this description
of money, when he was arrested and imprison-
ed. The plate is now in possession ofthe May-
or. It is a. master piece of engraving——a perfect
representation of the gentiine plate—like it as
well in beauties as in bleniislies.—Philad. Inq.

{ff In this age of the march of intellect, when
the future may be said to tread upon'the heels
of the past, a weekly paper can hardly keep a
“running account” with the current of events.—
It requires a daily sheet of the most ample di-
mensions, in which to record the rise and fall of
empires, in this vast, busy and populous world
of politicians. The North American, recently
established at Washington to sustain the claims
of Mr. Van Buren to the presidency, has been
driven into total eclipse by the Sun, a “White
paper,” while this again has shot from its sphere
in at tangent from the want of a proper counter
centripetal force, and been lost and extinguish-
ed in the “void immense.” But that the White
party may not be left in total darkness, the “Ap-
peal” has raised its flag and inscribed upon it,
Dropcau sans tache—flag without a stain. A
very good motto, by the by, were it not also
.Drapcau sans mcrite. Some philosophers say
that the mind of an infant is like a sheet of wri-
ting paper upon which nothing has yet been in-
scribed; This is poplar sans tache. Hence,
if Judge \Vliite’s innocence is to be madeaclaim
for the Presidency, how many babies are there
who may enter the lists with equal pretentious?
LAUGHABLE HoAx.—The Salisbury Herald
mentions the following joke, played upon a lady
in Southampton : Some wag wrote letters of in-
vitation to thejuveniles of both sexes, “to a grand
fancy dress ball,” to be given by a lady, resid-
ing nota hundred miles from the office of the
Mayor. Atthe appointed time, a carriage drives
up to the door, and closely followed bya “Turk”
and his “Lady,” in full costume, and desired to
be shown into the drawing room.- The afliright—
ed servant complied with their request, but
scarcely had she done so when another batch of
fancy characters arrived, in the shape of Jews,
Greeks, Spaniards, and other. In the midst of
the confusion, the lady of the house made her
appearance, and was not a little astonished at
the motley assemblage. An “eclaircissment”
took place, and the party returned t.o their homes,
deeplyinortified at the trick that had been play-
ed upon them.
LABOR or CLEI’.KSz—-The accumulation ofbusi-
ness upon the hands of clerks of the House, for
several days before the adjournment of Congress
and the great exertions necessary for its despatch
induced upon these ofiicers a great degree of ex-
haustion. On Monday night apprelicnsions were
entertained for one of them, that he would sink
with sleep whilst in the act ofreading an amend-
ment. After iniscalling half the words, with a
thick and uiiintelligiblc voice, he resigned the
work to a substitute. Such fatigue must be the
natural consequence ofa session of fourteeri con-
tinuous hours. The services oftliese officers are
unceasiugly in dcniaiid, whilst, with the mem-
bers, the case varies. The latter often retire for
an hour’s rest or refreshment, conveniences for
which are provided in the Capitol. A rcfectory
is fitted witliinit, audit is conducted by a system
of regulations arranged by a committee of the
Housc.—Bostou Traveller.
Uncommon cnergi/.—-\Ve had last week as a vis-
itor, one of Col. Crockett’s neiglibors-——a child
under 10 years of age, who has rode since 22d
December, on horseback, 900 miles—having'
passed through the Chickasaw, Choctaw, and
Creek nations of Indians, and been out during
the late severe weather. Thelittle fellow seein-
ed less fratigtied than the gentleman in whose
company he came. He is a child of remarka-
ble sprightliuess and intelligence.
Mcliemet All has made Egypt almost inde-
pendent. ofEurope; he has built a navy, organ-
ized an army, established schools, arsenals and
factories; set numerous steam engines in opera-
tion, and improved the country wonderfully, but
he has ground the population to the dust. It is
be to hoped that his successor will be enabled to
do sonietliiug for the people, and thus ameliorate
their abject condition.
M. de Talleyraiid completed his 81st year
on the 2d of February. He repeats from time
to time that this year is the last ofliis life. Itis
said he lately told Louis Pliillippe that if he had
been accused of abandoning all the different go-
veriimcnts of France a quarter of an hour before
their death, he would not have it said as a last
reproach. that he was willing to die with the
present one.
Pi"i'rnccl_2/ Incomc.—In looking over the Post
Ofifice Report we find the following item : In the
Post Ollice at New York, there are fourteen hun-
dred boxcs, which are let to individuals at four
dollars each per annum. The rents oftlies boxes
are perquisites of the Postmaster, for which he
does not account to the department, and amount
to five thousand sin: hundiccl dollars a year I In
addition to this he has his salary, which is not
far from three thousand dollars more.
A Parliamentary Johc.—Somc time ago, in
the Chamber of Deputies, the celebrated Charles.
Dupin was delivering a magnificent clogc ofthe
Baron Louis. “Examine his past life,” said the
crater, “Behold his venerable white locks.” At
this a voice from the extreme gauche exclaimed
——“How the deuce are we to behold them when
his exccllency wears awig '1”
The young King Otlio causes much discon-
tent at Athens, by his partiality (natural) to-
wards his own countrymen, the Bavarians, in-
Stead of the native Greeks, as sound policy would
ictate.
According to tliejournal of M. Fauvel, former’
French consul at Athens, there has not been a
day for the last fourteen years, that the at.-.1 1111:"
not shone there ; ever empurpling with its beams,

mous capital of Attica. - '
Tiii~: COl\I.\II-IRCIAL EMPor.inM.—The amount
of duties accruing from iiiiportatioiis into the ci-
ty of New York for the year 1831, is ascertained
to be ten milliions one hundred and eighty-four
lhouisa-nd dollars .’ ! New York is rightly named
the Commercial Emporium.
PROCLAMA'I'ION,
by
SAMUEL A. FOOT,
GOVERNOR or CO.\‘NEC’l‘ICU'I‘.
IN every age and nation where the true God has
been known and worshipped, Fasting has
been considered a religious duty, and has re-
ceived the sanction of Divine Authority.
In conformity to the long established usage in
this State, and witli.a firm belief that the desti-
nies of nations, as well as of individuals, are in
the hands of an all-wise, powerful and merciful
Providence, I recomniciid, that Fitiimv, the
seventeenth day of April, next, be observed as a
day of public FASTING, HUMILIATION,
and PRAYER. And I earnestly invite the
good people, of this State, with their several
ministers and teachers, to assemble, on that day,
at their usual place of religious worship, and
with true Christian liuinility, present their uni-
ted siipplications to Almighty God; imploring
the pardon of our numerous sins—oiir ingrati-
tnde for his distinguished favors——our neglect
and abuse ofthe high privileges we have enjoyed,
and our forgetfulness of His love and mercy to
the fallen race of n1an—beseecliing Him gra-
ciously to bestow upon us the influence of His
Holy S pirit——to enable us to review our past
lives, reform what is amiss, to give us a spirit
of true repentance and holy obedience; make
us more faithful in the discharge of our duty to
God, to our fellow men, and to our own souls,
and grant us that true faith in the Redeemer,
which will afi"ord tis comfort in life,peace in death,
and endlsss happiness in heaven.
At the same time, to invoke the blessing of
God upon our State and Natioii-—tliat He would
preserve and perpetrate our civil and religious
privileges and Government of mild and equal
laws ; prosper every branch of our industry and
enterprise, both by sea and land; continue to
preserve tis from wasting sickness; give us a
fruitful season, and crown the year with His
goodness. That He would bless all our institu-
tions for the promotion of science and the useful
arts; morality, Christian benevolence, charity,
temperance, and the diffusion of the light ofthe
gospel; restrain the angry passion of men, and
make truth and justice the stability of our-tiines
—-religion and piety the glory ofour land. That
he would direct and bless the President of the
United States, ai;id all the officers in the Nation-
al and State Governments ; give them firmness
and fidelity to discharge the duties of their sev-
eral stations, as in the fear of God: bless otir
Legislative councils, and enlighten them with
true wisdom to discern and promote the public
good; avert the consequence of every error, and
save us from national judgments ; continue to ‘us
the blessings of peace and internal tranquility, lib-
erty, and union, to the lastest generations; and
extend equal blessings to the whole family of
mankind.
Given under my hand, at Cheshire, this 23d
day of February, in the year of our Lord,

of the United States of America.
