OUR RELATION'S WtTU FRANCE. From the National Intelligencer. Washinoton, Jan. 8lh, 1S3-1. With a pleasure which wc wish we could communicate to our readers we yesterday listened to the reading of an elaborate and powerful Report, to the Senate, from its Committee of Foreign A flairs, on so much of the Annual Message of the President of the U. States as concerns our Relations with France. Wc were completely taken by surprize by it, for we had supposed that the Senate would await the actions of the other House upon the subject. We listened to it with not the less interest, however, on that account; and wc were glad, we may say proud, of the ability, the moderation, and the elevated tone of the whole document, in every respect worthy of its distinguished author the Chairman of the Committee. We rejoiced on finding in this Report so much to confirm the general views which the Editors, ofjthe National Intelligencer have thought it their duty to take of this very importantqucs- . tion, because, if we could have doubted their correctness before, it would be impossible to doubt after hearing or reading this very important State Paper. The reading of the Report occupied about two hours. . Having had no access to it, and having onlv our hearing in drneml

shall attempt nothing like a literal report of

us couicuis, out win cnueavor, tor the gratification of the public curiosity, to make a rapid sketch of the outline of it." The Report sets out with expressing the entire concurrence of nmninn nf iUn IV..,-..

mittec with the President as to the justice of

ine ciauns lor me payment ot which the Treaty between the United States and France makes provision. They had their origin in flagrant violations of the law of Nations, and of our neutral right, for which the pretence alleged at the lime afforded no justification. At the period of those aggressions, the Government of the U. S. would have been fully justified had it then appealed to arms to vindicate our outraged rights, and it was a fact known to those who were conversant .with the history of the times, that the expediency of such a measure had been seriously considered in the councils of the U. S. The selection between the two belligerants, by which another Nation became the enemy at that time, arose not from any insensibility to the injuries received from France, but from considerations of a different nature. Restrained by prudential considerations from then making war upon France, the U. S. had yet resolved never to acquiesce in the wrong and injustice done to thcm.but to persevere in the demand of indemnity until it should be obtained. As early as IS 12, one of our most distinguished citizens, appointed Minister to France, was instructed to demand reparation for these wrongs; and the demand had been persisted in, by every Administration, from that day dawn to the conclusion of the Treaty of 1831. The report then goes on to sav', that of these claims the amount had not previously to the Treaty been fully ascertained, anil could not be exactly known until they were finally adjudicated; but the Committee concur entirely with the President in the opinion that the amount awarded by the Treaty, by way of indemnity, falls far short of the just claims of our citizens, including damages. The treaty had nevertheless been received in this country with general satisfaction, for several reasons, but more than all, for the reason, that the People of the U. S. saw in it the removal of the onljf obstacle to perfect harmony between this conulry and a nation, the remembrance of whose ancient friendship was always dear to them. It had not been for a moment supposed that a Treaty between the two countries, being on the face of it a perfect obligation, would be violated by the failure of either party to perform the stipulations on its side, vVc and so little did Congress apprehend such a slate of things, that they passed several acts founded upon the Treaty, one of which was to provide for the investment of the money to be received under the Treaty in some productive fund, for the benefit of the claimants, until the adjudication of the claims should be completed. In consequence of this last provision, when the first instalment became due,a draft was drawn for the amount, the protest of which was the first notice of the noncxecution of the Treaty. To the manner in which this draft was drawn, perhaps on the score of formality or etiquette some exception might be taken; but the Committee are unanimously of opinion that the mode adopted, of drawing for the money, was fully justified by the terms of the treaty. It is with profound regret, sas the report, that the Commmiltcc have learnt the failure of the reasonable expectations of the Executive and of the country, as to the execution of the Ti c ity. The report goes on to say.as the President m his message justly remarks, that the idea of acquiescence in the refusal to execute the Treaty, can never be for a moment entertained. The United States can never abandon their rights under it. When negotiation for procuring the execution of the Treaty shall be exhausted, it will then be for the U. S. to consider what other measures are necessary to procure their rights to be respected. In the opinion of the President, that period has already arrived, and he has recommended to ongrcss to authorize Reprisals in the event of a failure of France promptly to make payent,jfcc. The President, "however, does

not present the course of Reprisals as the only one open to Congress, but bv th admission

of the alternative of wailing" a further lime

for the action of the French Chambers, leaves to the choice of Congress the two courses, of further negotiation, or of a contingent measure which, in its consequences, may possibly lead to war. As to the latter course, if the habits, inclinations, and interest of this People are opposed to war, when not unavoidable, with what added force do not all these objections apply to a war with an ancient ally, towards whom the People of the U. S. entertain the kindest sentiments! Partaking of this sentiment themselves, the Committee extended their injury. first into the practi-

cability and expediency of the peaceful alter-

presented by the message. The report here

alysis of the correspondence (between our

Minister and the French Ministry) which preceeded the formation nf 1 1 r t .."-

ing, by various quotations from it, that

throughout the negotiation, the King of

France evinced the most friendly feeling towards the U. S. and took an unusual interest

in the adjustment of the question between the two-countries. Our Minister had been

reminded, over and over again, of the diffi-

culties which the Ministers would have to encounter from the Chamber in consequence

of the Treaty, &c. To this history of the negotiation the Committee did advert to justify

the omission of the French Government to carry into effect the Treaty; the difficulty now experienced in the French Chambers being an affair between them and their own Government, and not between them and our Government but the Committee

to this correspondence, because, after the warnings which were given of the difficulties which would have to be encountered, a fair

construction ought to he put upon the course of the King and his Ministers in this matter. If the King has throughout

faith, and is still laboring to effect the passage of a bill in the Chambers to carry into effect the Treaty, it would be not only unjust. as

respects the French Government, but impolitic, and unwise as respects the claimants

themselves, to throw obstacles in the way of the King's exertions, by the adoption of rash or hasty measures, even contingently, which might convert some of the warm friends in the Chambers into bitter enemies of the claims.

The report then proceeds to the consideration of what has transpired since the ratification of the Treaty; carefully reviewing and analyzing the correspondence which has since passed between the Ministers of the two countries, Arc. The Committee express the great pleasure they have in concurring with the President of the U. S. and Mr. Livingston in entire confidence in the good faith of the King, &c, as professed in several of the letters from our Secretary of Slate and our Minister in France; and they consider it due to candor to declare that they have seen no reason since to distrust the sincerity or perfect integrity of the Kinsr in this

Upon the Whole, the Committee are of ii i . . .

opinion mat ine time has not yet arrived when Congress is called upon to" go into the consideration of the very serious question, whether they will enter into any measure for the purpose of taking into their own hands redress for wrongs by France. The committee are of opinion that Congress ought to avoid any resort to war, or to measures which may lead to it, and rather wait to see the result of the exertions which the French King is undoubtedly making to carry the Treaty into full effect.

With some important aid received thronirh the

(wmciiiM ui int.- ouecior ac iayton.the following facts have been obtained, viz:

1st. lhat the extent of country which sends

its trade to uayton and receives its supplies therefrom, is edual to about J.i 519 snnnra ,;i, j :

' . -"7 .....GC, ailU ill 18d0 contained a population of thirty-four persons

of exports, gives l,t!t:0 tone at the whole trade of

luu uisirici. On referring to a table annexed, it will be seen that the extent of country which it is supposed.will trade through the White Water Canal, amounts to d,l.b square miles and contained in 130 a population of twenty-one and a half persons per square mile. By comparison, it will be seen that the extent of country here embraced, is a littla more than twice as great as that trading to Dayton and that the population in 1830, was more than one third less. From a calculation foim.lp

ments in the office of the Auditor of State, it is ascertained that the increase of population ii. the W hite W ater distict. from 1830 to 1834, was thirty-three and one third per cent, and allowing the same ratio of increase to continue until the time when the Canal could bo completed, say 1838 it will then be about thirty-nine per square mile, which must be as great as that which the upper Miami country contained in 183: the period when these facts were collected. The average of population then being the same, and the extent of the friute W ater district being twice as great as the district north of Dayton, it follows that its trade would be twice as great, which will give 34 000 tons as the amount of exports and imports that would annually pass through the friiite Fater Canal. But this amouat of touage is calculated to apply to the circumstances and business of the country on the completion of the work, and must be inereased as the improvements and oroducts of the country increase. The cost of transportation in wagons lo and from the Ohio river, under existing circumstances, may be averaged at fen dollars per ton. The Canal transportation for the same distance, coud not exceed 3,50 per ton, including tolls, showing a saving of $G,50 per ton, or an annual saving to this district of country, of $221,000. An important advantage will be found in the water power created by the Canal. Abovc Connersville, however, no advantage snouid be exnected. hut

power a ready in use, especially near the head of the Canal, will be somewhat diminished. Here the bed ofthe stream is narrow, and iti floods inconsiderable; and owing to these circumstances, the water in its natural channel, is susceptible of being applied to machinery with very little cost. Uut after the larger tributaries are received, the case is diffeient. The stream is more subject lo floods, its channel becomes wideband the cost of building and sustaining dams is so great, as to reduce materially its value, and much of the lull will therefore remain unmoved. By turn"ttJ icr int Candl, the

u. u,e stream will at once be made available and the safety and certainty of the power will be,so much greater, that capitalists will be more ready to invest valuable machinery, and the improvements will be made upon a more premanentand useful plan. , measurement ofthe stream, it is ascertained that below the mouth of Green's fork it passes, at common low water, a considerable surplus ln addition to the qantitv required for the purpose of navigation. From the feeder above Connersville, it will be practicable :to ( introduce, say 2,200 cupic feet per minute lor hydraulic purposes, and by 'replenishing the Canal at the several fciders below, the same surplus may be continued throughout the whole length if the line wkhOlltserioiis lnmr f.K '
