A decision of these questions will decide K i-rt n 111 li.-ri ( i 4 -. t- 4 1. si whether the President is correct in the assertion that "the treaty was duly ratified, in the mmner prescribed by the constitution of both countries." The French ministers did not pretend that thsv could pledge the faith of the nation for she execution of this treaty. On the contrajrr.ther repeatedly informed Mr. Rives that It's iultiiinent depended upon the action of the Trench Chambers; that their powers exten ded no further than to negotiate the treaty, lubject to tne ronurmaiion or me representaireaof the people.and that they apprehended t would not be ratified. Mr. Rives, in his letter of the 7th of May 2 Sol. to the Secretary of State, says Pcrrier, Ihc President of the Council and one of the Mill; 5 iiiiiiimi i 3, i mini ii u. i 11.11 UlU VIinillbers would be exceedingly opposed to the 'pavnicnt, and that it was certainly not the interest ot cither country to make an nr-wnjemc-iit which the legislative authority "of France might r(fuse to carry into execu-Wt.-n, Vc. In his letter to the Secretary of State, daedMiy 29th, 1S31. he details another con versation, in which Pcrrier remarked, ''That ie apprehended in the Chambers a serious opposition to the proposed treaty ,which might even more seriously embroil the relations" of the two countries, by refusing to carry into exen.wn any arrangement which should be made. He added, that two months sooner or laft-r. rould not be of much importance, in the settlementof this question, and asked me if Lhrrv would he any objection to ad journing its decision 'till the mectingof the Chambcrs.whcn Me ministers would have an ooDortunitv of consulting some of the leading members of .i -. ... . . ' me two nouses." In all these views and ihtements Count Srbastinni concurred. It appears, then, from the official commu nications of Mr. Rites to Olir frnvrrnrvmnt that the French ministers acted with frankness. That they expressed their npprehennonsthat the treaty would not be ratified by me Chambers, and that they made no pretence of authority to blind or even commit (lie legislature, before whom the whole sub ject must come for supervision. lint suppose they had set up the pretext, that they could commit the Chambers, and that after the treaty had been executed bv thetvintrand annroved bv OUT frAVPrnmnnt i would become the law of the land; would this i'..uce nave been in conformitv with tb written and promulgated Constitution of .i- itcr-i reply it would not.

judTc of the expediency of carrying it into ciieri. JI. Pi let de. la Lozere made a report in the name of the Committee on suvnlemrnluru rrrdit.v. Referring to the late treaty the report says -y pari is oi tne nature ot a commercial treaty; its execution has commenced, whilst a portion is in suspense. The treaty, as a whole, instead of takinsr effect, from tbn dnln nf ifo 7 ---WVl..J ratification, can rnly do so from the date of oi tne Jaw, which, may be passed by the Chamber." "On this occasion, the nature of our government and of the constitution,scems to have been forgotten. And we are presented with the anomaly of a treaty being execJted in parly w hile the remainder is under discussion' M. Jay, who made the report in behalf of 1 . J 1 . M t . . me committee to whom the treaty was referred , said "The Chamber has the right to refuse the appropriations necossarv for ram-. ing into effect a treaty, which may appear to compromit the dignify and interest of France." .V. Jnguis said "Do not imagine that this is a question of royal prerogative. No one is less disposed than I am to dispute with the crown, the right of making treaties; that is, diplomatic treaties; treaties essentially political. As it regards any financial arrangements, which these treaties may embrace, you are omnipotent; your power cannot be limited." M. Duchalel. "I do not say that your prerogative is not entire. I only say that there is something more at stake, since the treaty, than there was before." The President of the. Chamber said, "The right of the Chamber is clearly established; no treaty of the sort now presented to us, is perfect, or can be carried into execution, in any of its parts, until the Chamber has given the government the means of executing it. Nothing can be considered asdefmitivofwhirh is subject to the vote of the Chamber. The foreigner rcho enters into a contract ziith oar government, knozes that well; for everv one must know the capacity of the party "with whom he enters into engagements; and our Constitution is not only a rule for ourstlvcsJnjl alsasrivrs to warn those who treat with us. This princil t ... pie is understood by ail. ' These extracts demonstrate that there was no diversity of opinion in the French Chambers, as to their Constitutional ri?fht to rpirrf the treaty. The President of the U. States was in possession oi tins debate. As early as the iOtii of May last he caused it to be translated from the Monituer and printed in pamphlet form, for the use of Congress; and )ct, while thus in possession of a report of this discussion, and of the correspondence between Mr. Rives and the Secretary of State, he asserts, that "the treaty was duly ratified, in the manner prescribed by the Constitution of both countries." And again: "The faith 6f the French nation having been thus solemnly pledged through its Constitutional organ," &,c. These assertions are incorrect; and it is to be apprehended were made for popular eiTectjwithout due regard to the facts in the case. The debate in the Chambers, in this particular, is in conformity with the doctrines of our ancient democracy, as to the treaty making power in the U. S. As the President and his adherents profess to be of the school of Jifftrson, and JIadison,& M,icon,l will hereafter examine their opinious in the year 179G, on the subject. The Spv in Washixgtos. From the New Yok Courier. A BANDITTI DISCOVERED. Through the agency of Huntington, one of the most vigilant ot our police ohYcers, the most extensive band of robbers ever known in the United States, has been discovered, and some of the prominent members of the gang arrested, and in a fair way to receive the punishment of their crimes. For the circumstances which lead to this extraordinary dcvelopment, we are indebted to Mr. Huntington, and they arc as follows: "About two months since the schooner James Fisher, bound hence for Philadelphia, and laden with a cargo, valued at eight thousand dollars, was in a gale of wind cast away on the beach at Barnegat Inlet, Monmouth County, New Jersey. The night after 6he went on shore she was boarded by n gang of about one hundred land-pirates, who carried olFthe whole of her cargo in small boats, and, as it now appears, secreted the goods in their respective dwellings, near the beach, and in the intcriorof the country. The vessel was not insured! and notwithstanding the utmost exertions of her commanders, he was unable to discover a vestige of the plundered property. Three weeks after the wreck of the James Fisher, the schooner Henry Franklin, with a full cargo, bound from Boston to Philadelphia, was, under similar adverse circumstances, stranded at the same place. This vessel was insured at the United States and Commonwealth Insurance Offices at Boston. The morning after the disaster, the Capt. went before W. Plait, Esq. a justice of the peace residing near the spot where the ves sel was stranded, and made the statement and protest usual on such occasions. In the nijrht following, during the absence of the captain, a band of pirates, numbering more than one hundred, with faces blackened, and otherwise disguised made a descent on the stranded ves sel, ordered the mate and seamen to leave her, and threatened thorn with mstanjt death i in caso thev made anv resistance.

The mate hastened to find the aptain, and communicated the circumstances of the robbery. They instantly armPfl rhr.mcr.liv.. r. ? i i J aim lurnisnea the crew with weapons, and returned to the wreck, but in the interim the plunderers had fled, and the vessel remained unmolr. Ac k fWU (19 Lilt" insurance Companies at Boston received acI.UUIU oi me accident, and subsequent robbery of the vcsel, they despatched an agent to the New York police office. He made application to Huntington for advice on the subject, and furnished him with lull power to proceed in tb. nflfW .i ised him to disburse any reasonable amount of muurj in oruer to receive the property and bring the robbers to justice. Huntington being thus fully empowered, nf m. menced operations, and bv ih ovo-,.; r m.ticAuaoiujiiary tact with which he is "ifteu, succeeded beiore ni.c it m . arresting one of the most nrominpnt l,ra f U1U S'1" captain liulschart, who was then on board his sloon. thp Ww W,- r . 1 w..,,,v..J V M negat, lying in the North River. After having lodged this fellow in bridewell, he sought out & secured two sailors alio concemedin plundering the H. Franklin. One of them ailed himself Halcomb Everingham, but the ther refused to trive his nnmr. ITim; then applied to Judce HpH remove the prisoners to New Jersey which being granted they were safely lodged in Newark Jail. Immediately nftrr of Hulschart became known it was observed that most of the Barnegat vessels lying in the North River,hoisted sail and went to sea, and. what is most singular, not one of them has been heard of since. Huntin plied to Garrett Wall, Esr,., U. S. District Atloincj ioriew jersey, in order to obtain precess for the arrest of several other robbers. Having procured the necessary authority, he, in company with (Jen. Davev. Marshal nf New Jersey, set sail in th Alert, Capt. Gold, which was placed under his direction by Mr. Swartwout. Collector of our port. On their way to Barneeat thev fell n with nnoler leader of the nirafrs Cmt Edward Wainwright, who was coming to New York in his schooner loaded with wood. They arrested him, and proceeded on their voyage. Having arrived at the Inlet, Huntington, with a sufficient forcp. nrnrrrrlpH in a tavern kept b one John Allen, senior. nil il,.., . . . . ' i ne oiti culprit had made his escape, but they succeeded in arresting his three sons, Isaac, Abraham, and John, all members of the gang. They next commenced searching the house, and found a part tf the cargo of the James Fisher, which was known by the private marks furnished by the merchant in Philadelphia to Huntington. He next arrested Reuben Grant, another tavern keeper, in whose house he also found goods that were stolen from the James Fisher. The officer and his associates then proceeded across the I l.iL. I . . uny loinemain snore, and arrested Joseph and Thomas Bunnell storekeeper and farmer. After this, their visit was to no less a personage than Wm. Piatt. Esu.. rth in-tntim! magistrate before whom the Capt. of the Henry Franklin had entered his protest,) in order to arrest him and his son as particeps, crimins, but the bird had flown. In the house of this conservator of the peace, Huntington found a quantity of the properly which had been plundered from a vessel called the General Putnam, wrecked on thfi "Rnrnprrnt Shnni ;.. the year 1833, at which lime goods to the aiue oi 5,ou,uuu were stolen by the wreckers. Although the trreat devil of thfi hand and his son had escaped, they contrived to apprehend another pirate named Zenhaniah John son, a resident in Piatt's house.

We must not be surprised at hearing of some pretty warm discussion under these circumstances; t-nd if it be true that the 2eal of political disputants is ia inverse proportion to the importance of the real points in dispute, we may fear that the disgraceful scenes recently presented at the election in the West Ward of Montreal, will find many parallels in tne luture History ot the Provinces.
