On motion of Mr. Hillis the following preamble and resolution was adopted. Whereas, Gambling is one of the most dangerous and pernicious practices, involving in its lung train of mischief, amongst others, los3 of time, - health, property and reputation, the corruption and and demoralization of youth, the perversion of public morals, the destruction of the peace and happiness of many of theriV part of creation, and the beggary of families; and not unfrcquently leading on its own infatuated votaries by the natural and easy transition from folly to crime, step by step to ultimate and irretrievable ruin and even suicide Therefore, Resolved, That the committee on the Judiciary be instructed to inquire into the expediency of so amending the several acts and parts of acts now in force.in this state relative to gambling, or any thin connected therewith, as more effectually to suppress the mischief, by rendering the detection and punishment of the offence, in all its diversified grades, more easy and certain; with leave to report by bill or otherwise. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Jan. 3.' The Speaker laid before the House a report of Hie resident and directors ot the Indianapolis and Lafayette Ilail-Coad Company; which was read and referred to the committee on canals and internal improvements. A petition teas presented hy Mr. Davis, of sundry citizens of the counties of Tippecanoe, Carroll and White, for an act of incorporation, to authorise a company to construct a Rail-Road from Lafayette to the Southern end of the present location of the Wabash and Erie canal; referred to the committee on canals and internal improvements. The House now went into committee of the whole, on the bill to amend an act entitled an act regulating the jurisdiction and duties of justices of the peace, approved Febuary 10th, 1831, and after some progress therein, rose with leave to sit again. On motion of Mr. Smith of F., the resolution moved by Mr. Bryan on yesterday, and laid on the table relative to internal improvements, 5cc. was taken up, and so modified by Mr. Bryan, as to refer it to the same select committee to which was referred, the resolution heretofore moved by Mr. Vawter,on the subject of a loan $1,500,000 for internal improvements within the State. Said resolution as modified, was then adopted; And the House adjourned. ix senate Jan. 5. Mr. Thompson who had for some days past been connned oy indisposition, appeared in his place. Mr. Hanna, from the committee on canals and internal improvements made a lengthy report in relation to the resolution of inquiry oil the subject of the purchase of a tract of land from the United States, ten miles in width on a line from Munceytown to Fort Wayne, and from thence to Lapoito, which report was accompanied by a memorial and joint resolution to the congress of the United States; which memorial and resolution, was ordered to a second reading. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Jan 5. A pretition was presented by Mr. Walker, of Robert Bovard and others, for a relocation of the State road from Rising Sun to Cross Plains; referred to the committee on roads. Mr. Torbet, on leave, presented a bill to incorporate the Dearborn ;ind ordered to be engrossed. Mr. Bonnet made the following report The select committee to whom was referred so much ofthe governor's message as relates to the borrowing of 200,000 dollars fur the improvement of roads, have Ind the same under consideration, and now respectfully report, that the improvement of our roads has been the favorite object for ma nv years, with the politicians of our state; that as vet that object has not been satisfactorily attained ; "and although the granaries of the farmer may groan under the accumulated productions of his Taboryet for want of iacilities to get to market, his toil! though ever so severe, goes unrewarded. The immense and ponderous produce of the country at home, remains unsold, or if sold, is disposed of at prices calculated rather to crush than encourage the industry of the people; and although much money has been appropriated by former legislatures for the improvement' of roads, yet that money, it is believed, has not been expended to the best possible advantage; for owing to the unnecessary number of state roads heretofore established fn Indiana, this fund has been too profusely scattered and fritted awaj upon unimportant roads, resulting m no general practical advantage, nor has it, in the opinion of your committee, been appropriated fuftdtC tythaoct of congress, creating said

iho committee, in looking over the statute books of the state, for the last three years, view with extreme regret, the unprecedented manner in which they have been enlarged and expense incurred, both in legislation and in printing, for to establish, not only state roads but also to change many unimportant neighborhood roads in st.i roads; all of which, in the opinion of your committee, is in anticipation of the three per cent. fund. To avoid which, the committee would respectfully recommend the anticipation of said fund, for a number of years in advance, and an application of the same to the improvement of some of the principal roads in the stale; which would be the means of greatly improving them for the transportation of our own products, from the interior of the state to the best markets; give additional stimulus to the agricultural interests of the country, &, diffuse tteneral prosperity through the state. The coramue are fully satisfied, that the three percent, fund will, in the course of twenty years, redeem both the principal and interest of the debt contracted, by virtue of the provisions of the accompanying bill, without resorting to taxation, or applying to any other fund belonging to the state for the redemption of the same; therefore hnve directed me to report a bill authorising a loan for the improvement of roads, and pledging the three per cent, fund for the payment thereof: Which was twice read and committed to a committee of the whole house and made the special order of llvi day for Friday next. Mr. Bigger, from the committee of ways and means, to which was referred, a resolution of the ilouse instructing said committee to enquire into the expediency of adopting a more equitable mode ! ot levying me taxes in this Slate, according to the ! principles ot what is usually called the ad valorem system of taxation reported that they have had that subject under consideration, and a majority of the committee had directed him to report A bill to provide for an equitable mode of levying the taxes of this State; which was twice read and committed to the committee of the whole Ilouse, and made the special ordsr of. the day for Monday next; and 500 copies ordered to be printed. The bill to amend an act entitled an act icjiulating the jurisdiction and duties of justices of the peace, approved Februarv 10th. 1831. aft ing m committee of the whole, was on motion of Mr. Vandcvecr, indefinitely posponcd, ayes 52, noes 20. And the Ilouse adjourned. in senate Jan. 0. Soveral bills on their second and third readings were accordingly read, ordered to progressive readings or referred. Engrossed bills of the Senate, as follows; to wit: To amend an act to organize Probate Courts, and defining the powers and duties of executors, administrators and guardians, approved Feb. 10, 1831, and A joint memorial of tho General Assembly of the State of Indiana. To establish a State road in Dearborn county. The afternoon was occupied in consideration of the bill in furtherance of the act to provide a fund for the encouragement of common schools, which was amended in committee and during the pendency of the question on concurrence in said amendments, the Senate adjourned. HOUSE -OF REPRESENTATIVES Jan. 0. A petition was presented by Mr. Howard, of Joel Decoursey and others, for the appointment of a school fund commissioners in Congressional town ship No. 3, in Range No. 1, west, in Dearborn and Switzerland counties; referred to the committee on Education. The bill for the formation of the county of Noble was read a third time and passed. The bill laying out the unorganized tnrriinrv. &c. into counties, was recommitted to a committee ol the whole House and made the order of the day for the present time; when the House went into committee of the whole, and amendments were made, giving names to the different counties; and the bill, in the House, was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading, ayes 53, noes 1G. And the House adjourned. In the House of Pvepresentativcson Monday last, Mr. Bigger from the committee to which the subject of an ad valorem system of taxation had been referred, reported "a bill to provide for an equitable mode of levying the taxes of this State;" which wis twice read and committed to a committee of the whole House and made the special order of the day for Monday next, and ordered to be printed. On Tuesday morning, in tho House of Representatives, several reports were made, by different members of the judiciary committee, on resolutions, Scc. against the expediency of legislating on the subject of a change in The Probate system; which reports were severally concurred in. Mr! Wallace moved to re-consider so much of said reports us deem it inexpedient to legislate on the subject, and that the iud ICIHTV Commit fori )r In structed to report a bill providing for a change in the I'robatc system. He believed a majority of the House were in favor of a change. Numerous complaints had been made against the present system, and although he had a preference, he was willing to go for cither of the plans that had been heretofore proposed. Mr. Kelso, opposed a rc-consider-ation; and as the House had heretofore decided acainst a channe. he would oppose evcrv inch of ground. T1 i j i .... v , i He had been w.lhng for a transfer to the sJ Circuit Court; but himself and constituents were well satished with the present system. Mr. Ray stated, in behalf oflhe judiciary committee, that three-forths of its members were in favor of a change; but had made the reports in consequence of the former action of the House. He was anxious for aciiange in the Probate system, and hoped there would be a re-consideration of the vote. Mr. Bell was opposed to anv change in the system ; and he trusted a definite action would be had whether a change should be gone into or not. Mr. Walker gave his views al length. He stated that his county was provided with a good judge; but from the many complaints from other quarters, he hoped the vote would bo re-considered and some salutary change etTected. Mr. Crume supported a reconsideration, and said he was glad to witness a spirit of compromise manifestedand although he was in favor of Circuit Probate Courts, if the vote

were re-considercd, he would be willing to move instructions to the committee, providing for a transfer of the Probate business to the Circuit Courts. Mr. Stanford opposed the reconsideration. He believed the subject had not been sufiicicntly agitated before the peopl; that the agitation of the question here, would be extended to them, and they would be prepared to give instructions by the next session. Mr. Brett was in favor of a re-consideaation. In addition to his own views on the subject, he had received several letters from his constituents, expressing a great anxiety for a change, and that tho present system should be obliterated from our statute book. Mr. Cook said he had receited no instructions from his constituents on the subject; but believing them to he well satisfied with the present law, he would go against a re-consideration. He further believed, that by the next session, from the agitation of the subject here, the people would be belter prepared to give instructions to their Representatives. The question was then taken on re-consideration and decided in the negative Ayes 30, Noes 33. An interesting bill to the Northern section of our State was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading, by a vote of Ayes 58, Noes 10, laying out all the

THE UNITED STATES AND FRANCE. Extract from Correspondence between the Minis tcrs of the United States and France, communi-' catedhy the President of the United States to the House of Representatives, Dec.27, 183 i. Mr. Livingston to Count de Rigny. Legation or the United States, Paris, August u, 1S31. Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency's Letter of the 31st of July, in answer to mine of the 25th and 26th of ihe same month. When this communication shall be submitted to the President he will doubtless be gratified at the renewed assurance it contains of a sincere desire to procure a speedy and faithful execution, on tho part of France, of the stipulations contained in the treaty. But I cannot, and ought not in candor to conceal my persuasion, that he will feel great surprise and regret, when he looks in vain in that communication for a repetition of the assurance given by M. Serurier, as to the time at which the law for executing the treaty will be submitted to the Chambers. '1 his disappointment will be the greater, because, in my note of the 23th 1 drew tho attention of your Excellency to the subject, by a quotation from the letter of'M. Serurier to ihe Secretary of State, which, the President will naturally think, required particular notice. As the extent of this engagement of his Majesty's Minister at Washington does not seem to be duly appreciated, and the effect it produced may not be fully known, it will be proper that I should enter into some dovelopement of both. Your Excellency is doubtless aware of the circumstances, that my despatches announcing the rejection of the law arrived in the United States in the first week in May, but those despatches also stated, that a fast sailing vessel would be sent with instructions to M. Serurier, to make seme explanation of the subject. In ordinary cases, it would have been deemed a duly of the President, to have informed Congress of the change, which this refusal of the Chambers was calculated to produce in the relations between the two countries. But he was anxious to prevent any measure that rnii'ht increase ihe irritations nntnr.illv felt by the nation, and the Minister of France was assured that no Message would be sent to Congress until the arrival of his instructions. By an unusually lon passage, these did not arrive until a month after the rejection of the law had been known in the United Stales; and finally, tho 3d of June, M. Serurier, made tho promised explanation, and gave assurance to which I once more pray your Excellency's attention, "Le Gouveinnient Ju Uoi," he says "y fera, Monsieur, tout son loyal et Constitutionel elfort, el tout ce que sa preseveranto pcrunsion de Ja justice et des advantages mutules du tniile vous autorisent a attendte du lui. Son intention ested outre, de fa ire tout cc vuo noire Constitution permet, pour rapprocherantant que possible 1'epoque de la presentation uouvelle du. 1j loi rejectee.'" It cannot have escaped your attention, Sir, that the only limitation designated for the presentation of the law, is that prescribed by the Constitution. The words arc express: "Every thinu permitted by the Constitution is to be done to hasten the period of presenting the law. "Now. what ever doubts might exist as to the presentations of the law, at the preparatory session, none, it would appear, arc entertained, that would permit the convocation of the Chambers at a day early enough to convey the result of their deliberation lo the President, before the meeting of Congress. Il was ihus that the promise of M. Serurier was'unJerstood at Washington, and the President acted upon this understanding of it, when he made it the hssis of his resolution to forbear any communication to Congress at the then session. This resolution ; nd this motive for it, unequivocally expressed in Mr. McLancs answer to M. Scruriers note. I am directed by my instruclions to be candid and explicit in all my communications. This course cannot, I am sure, but be as agreeable to His Majesty's Government, as it is to my own inclinations. I am bound, therefore, in this spirit of ".-) iuucujiu nun, uuuoii''n wiu inmost reliance is placed on tho assurance of His Majesty's iranwness, to declare that, although the utmost reMinisters, nd that not a doubt is entertained oflhe sinceruy ct their desire to procure tho means of executing the treaty, yet it docs not appear that ihey appreciate the importance oflhe subiect at its just value. The obligation of the trealy is acknowl- j coeo; uiscontessed that the public laith is pledged lor the payment of sums of money due now for nearly three years, it is not denied that the United States have, with fidelity and promptness, executed their part oflhe treaty, and that they have shown the utmost forbearance and moderation, under circumstances of a nature to create great excitement. In this state of things something more would seem to be required than the general assurances, that ihe earliest day would be taken to satisfy the demands of justice, and redeem tho pledged faith of the nation. It might be expected that the personal convenience of the members of ihe legislature, or even some degree of national instrest, ought to give way

m . a 1 . . m ernment; and in the hope ih it a reconsideration of ihe circumstances may produce a dillcrent result, and enable me to inform the President, that His Majesty's Government have decided that the importance of this case will justify them in making exception in its favor to the ordinary course of proceeding, and that it will be submitted to the Legislature, at such an early day, as to enable the President to announce, thai his confidence in the justice of the French nation has been justified by the event. I prav vour Excellency to receive tho renewed assurance, ccc. " Hi). LIVINGSTON. translation. Count de Rigny to Mr. Livingston. Paris, Aug. 7, 1S31.

On reading over'.Mr. W.V-. .... T .. ..... f- ii v .. Scruriefa note, I am unable,! confess, to lind in it any engagement or expression which is at variance with what 1 have had ihe honor to communi-! cate to you myself. ! The King's Minister at Washington bus certainly said nothing inconsistent with truth, when he spoke of our disposition to do all that iho Constitution would permit, in order to hasten the period for tho presentation of the rejected bill. JJat you are aware that the execution of this plan is subordinate to considerations not to be lost sight of for the sake oflhe very end which both Governments arc anxious to attain: and Mr ter cannot have meant any else in ihe part of his note, which has ihus been panicuhrly regarded at Washington douton! a ere devoir prendre aele a Washington. You j know, Sir, tho motives which would prevent the presentation to the Chambers of the projet de loi respecting the Convention of 1S31, during tho Session which will be immediately prorogued. Reasons equally peremptory, and equally clear, would forbid assembling the Chambers before Winter, for the special purpose of voting this question, and il is with regret 1 repeat, that we lind ourselves uuablo lo accede to the desire oflhe President of the United States on this point. Hut besides the impossibility of keeping tbc Chambers together at a lime of a year, during which parliamentary labors are habitually suspended, and when tho Deputies already appear impatient lo return to their homes, there is another consideration more particularly applying to tho Treaty of 1S31, the importance of which cannot have escaped your attention. Placed as you re in a situation lo judga of every thing here which could have relation to the question, you must have been convinced with what circumspection (managements) it has to be Heated before the Legislature, and the public: and your own observation on this point must have enabled you to appreciate the system of prudence and procraslinalion (adjournment) which the King's Government had prescribed for itself. These precautions are equally necessary ;.iJ proper al presjut, and without entering hero into details, tho want of which your own penetration may easily supply, it is lo be doubted, 1 must say, wheter in" iho actual state of things an untimely (inticipee) assembling of the Chambers for the purpose of securiiiL' bv thir .is. sent tho execution of tho Treaty ol ' LSDL would i jnuuuee i nose auvauuges winch ureal Uushington j expected from such a course.
