Tell me, grave mentor, at what hour you young men leave the opera or the theatre; at what time you go to the balls and concerts, at what time you fly to the round table, and empty bottles of champaigne. Is not that the hour of midnight? And yet the hour of midnight, say the poets, is the hour of crimes and hobgoblins. Fie, lie, Charles, I bet you are only in such a hurry to get rid of me this evening, to go to some supper party.' You are right madam, I am, going to a supper party.' 'And you dare acknowledge it? And you dare admit to my very face, that you prefer a supper party to my company? Ah, then, for the future, I too shall hate the hour of midnight. But h ow I would bless, how I would cherish the hour when, abandoning, for my sake, the follies and vanities of a world for which you were never made, bidding farewell

to the frivolous dissipated companions of your lighter hours, you would cast yourself at my feet, and as in days of yore, shed tears on my hand, vow that I was jour world, and that death, instant death, should be your portion unless I smiled upon your love. That hour I would indeed bless and cherish, Charles that, to me, would be the hour of unutterable happiness.1 'Henrietta, dearest, loveliest, forgive me. I knew not what I said.

INDIANS AND MULATTOES. The agents of Col. R. M. Johnson reached this city, on Saturday, on their return from the pursuit of the two Indian youths and the two mulatto girls, who made their escape from the Great Crossings the previous week. The agents, we understand, succeeded in capturing the whole but the Indians were ungallantly rescued from their possession, by a legal process, and one of the girls effected her escape. The one in the possession of the agents, was said to be Col. Johnson's housekeeper, and was quite handsome and attrac5rP in her appearance.

FRENCH CLAIMS. Conclusion of Mr. Livingston's letter to the due dc Broglie, dated, legation of the Unitcd States, Paris, April 2oth, 1S33. If the view I have now taken of the subject be correct, I have succeeded in convening to his majesty's ministers the conviction I myself feel, that no right exists in any foreign nation to ask explanations of, or oven notice, any communications between the different branches of our government; that to admit it even in a single instance would be a dangerous precedent, and a derogation from national dignity; and that in the present instance an explanation that ought to be satisfactory has been voluntarily given; I have then demonstrated that any measure founded on such supposed right is not only inadmissible, but is totally unnccessary,and consequently that his majesty's ministers may at once declare that previous explanations given by tho minister of the United Statcs,and subsequently approved by the president, had satisfied them n the subject of the message. The motive-, of my government, during the whole course of this controversy, have been misunderstood or not properly apprcciated,and the question is daily changing its character. A negotiation, entered into for pecuniary compensation to Individuals, involved no positive ob

ligation on their government to prosecute it to extremities. A solemn treaty, ratified by the constitutional organs of the two powers, changed the private into a public right. The government acquired by it a perfect right to insist on its stipulations. All doubts as to their justice seem now to have been removed ; and every objection to the payment of a debt acknowledged to he just,vill be severely scrutinized by the impartial world. What character will be given to a refusal to pay such a debt on the allegation, whether well or ill founded, of an offence to national honor, it docs not become me to say. The French nation is the last that would ever appreciate national liono- Uj j ittiuv;r ur millions it could withhold, as a compensation for an injury offered to it. The United States, commercial as they are, are the last that would settic such an account. The proposition I allude to would be unworthy of both, and it is sincere! v to be hoped that it will never be made. To avoid the possibility of misapprehension, I repeat, that this communication is made with the single view of apprising his majesty's government of the consequences attending a measure, which, without such notice, they may be inclined to pursue; that, although I am not authorised to state what measures will be taken bv the United States, yet I speak confidently of the principles they have adopted, and have no doubt they will never be abandoned. This is the last communication I shall have the honor to make. It is dictated by a sincere desire to restore a good intelligence, which seems to be endangered by the very means intended to consolidate it. Whatever be the result, the United States may appeal to the world to bear witness, that in the assertion of the rights of their citizens,and the dignity of their government, they have never swerved from the respect due to themselves, and from that which they owe to the government of France. I pray your excellency to receive the assurance of high consideration with which I have the honor to be your most obedient servant, Ildwaud Livingston. Mr. Livingston to Mr. Forsyth. Washington, June 29, 1835. Sib; xfter having, by my note to the dukedeI3roglie,datcd thc25th April last, made a final effort to preserve a good understanding between the United States and France, bv suggesting such means of accommodation as I thought were consistent with the honor of tho one country to offer, and the other to accept, I "determined to avail myself of the leave lo return, which was given by

your despatch, No. , rather than to remain, as I had desired to do, in England, waiting the result of my last communication. This step having been approved by the president, I need not hero refer to the reasons which induced me to take it. Having received my passports, I left Paris on the 29th of April, At the time of my departure, the note, of which a copy has been transmitted to you, asking an explanation of the terms used in Mr. Serrurier's communication to the department, remained unanswered, but 1 have reason to believe that the answer, when given, will be satisfactory. The prncipal business w ith w hich 1 was charged having thus been brought to a close, I presume that my services can no longer be useful to my country, and I therefore pray that the president will be pleased to accept my resignation of the trust with which I have been honored. I shall terminate it by transmitting to the department some papers relating to matters of minor importance, which I soon expect to receive, and will add tho explanations which may yet be wanting to give a full view of the affairs of the mission up to the time of my leaving France. I have the honor to be, sir, with perfect respect, your most obedient servant, Edward Livingston. The hon. John Forsyth, scc'y of state. 3Ir. Forsyth to Mr. Livingston. Department of State.) Washington, 30th Junc,l8'35. Edward Livingston, esq., Washington: Sir: Your letter of the 29th instant has been laid before the president, and I am directed to reply, that the president cannot allow you, who have been so long and usefully employed in the public service, to leave iQ trust last confided to you without an expression of his regard and respect the result of many years of intimate association in "peace and war. Although differing on some points of general policy, your singleness of purpose, perfppt infnQi Jy, nnA Jo-vvrtlUU lO yOUT country, have been always known to him. In the embarrassing and delicate position youjiave lately or cupicd, your conduct, and especially your last official noto in closing your correspondence . with the French government, has met his entire approbation, exhibiting, as it does, with truth, the anxious desire of the government and people of the United States to maintain tho most liberal and pacific relations with the nation to which you were accredited, and a sincere effort to remove ill founded impressions, and to sooth tho feelings of national susceptibility even where they have been unexpectedly excited while, at the same thne,it discourages,with a proper firmness, any expectation that the American government can ever be brought to allow an interference inconsistent with the spirit ol its institutions, or make concessions incompatible with its self-respect. The president is persuaded that he will be sustained in these opinions by the undivided sentiment of the American people, and that you will carry into a retirement, which he trusts may be temporary, the consciousness not only of having performed your duty, but of having realized the anticipations of your fellow citizens,and secured for yourself and your country the just appreciation of the world. I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, John ForsYtii. A correspondent writes: "Standing at my door in Arch street on Saturday, to witness the parade of the Boston lusihers, 1 was greatly pleased, indeed interested, with an incident which occurred at the corner of Fifth and Arch streets. It is, I presume, generally known that the remains of our illustrious countryman, Franklin, ore deposited in that spot, and that he was a native of Boston. When the company arrived at this place, they halted,and, assisted by their fine band of much, paid a mournful compliment to the deceased, and then continued the

march. It was the more impressive as it was unexpected. It is gratifying that sometimes Mlie good which men do lives after them ;' though their memory may not be emblazoned on gorgeous monuments of art but will ever survive in the grateful hearts of a virtuous people. Thus may it ever be with us, for while such feelings prevail, we need not despair of the republic." Philadelphia Inquirer From the Logansport Canal Telegraph. DISTURBANCES UPON THE CANAL LINE. An enmity has existed for some time between a portion of the hands employed on the canal line in the vicinity of Peru, and others engaged on tho work near Huntington. Tho preparations which were making by both parlies for a general battle, induced Mr. Burr, one of the canal commissioners, to interpose his authority, and to send to Fort Wayne and to this place for volunteer forces to aid in preserving

the peace, and in arresting some of the ringleaders. 1 he Logansport Guards, accompanied by a number of volunteers, marched from this place on Tuesday morning last. The following extract of a letter from a gentleman at Peru, contains all the information we have received up to the present time: Peru, July 15, 1835. "The volunteers from Logansport arrived here last eveniug, and were joined by thoso from Fort Wayne, under Col. Spencer and Major Edsall. Several persons have been arrested ; and I under stand that all who are known to have been concerned in the late dis turbances on the line, that have not fled, will be arrested, and commit ted for trial. So far not a drop- of blood has been shed. The military arc aiding the civil authority to discharge its functions. We have between two and three hundred men underarms. Thccompanicsundcr Capls. Wines and Ferry, from 17cm Wuync, and Capts. Tipton & Miller from Cass, do their duty in a manner that is highly creditable to themselves and their counties." Philadelphia, July 7, 1815. DEATH OF CHIEF JUSTICE MARSHALL. We have this morning the painful duty lo discharge, of announcing the dcatli of the venerable John Marshall, chief justice of the supreme court of the United States. The patriot, the statesman, tho jurist, the historian, the sage, the friend and biographer of tho immortal Washington, died yesterday afternoon, at the boarding house of Mrs. Crim, in Walnut street, where he had been confined to his bed for several weeks, No man now living commands the respect and possesses the confidence that did Judge Marshall. He was beloved by all. No political dissentions reached him, though he concealed no opinion. He was " While in, above the world."' The loss which is sustained by the death of Judge Marshall, is not that of any division or party; his talents were the nation's, his lame was Hers, Ins loss is hers; and though many who claimed particular affinity from opinions or kindred with the deceased, may have a private grief, the nation mourns the going out of almost the last star of that brilliant constellation which shed so much lustre upon our country in the days of her mental greatness. Another occasion will be used to give a biographical sketch of the eminent man whose death we thus announce. U. S. Gazette . KENTUCKY AND GEN. HARRISON. We have noticed of late, various attempts to create the impression that,, next to Mr. Clay, Kentucky would nrcfer another indiv ' i vidual for president, before General Harrison. that Kentucky would, and should, under all circumstances, prefer Mr. Clay to any other man, for president, will readily be conceded by all; but that Gen. Harrison would at this time be her second choice, by an almost common consent, wo have no doubt. She stands nlpilrrprl. not onlv unon vrincinlc hni in frrl. I fc 7 j r X A 7 J ing, to oppose Mr. Van Burcn. But she stands also comuimou, in principle ana in feeling, against any and every man who opposed the last war. . The names of Clay and Harrison stand very closely allied in the minds and hearts of the people of Kentucky. Whilo they cheerfully committed their interests in the councils of the nation to one, they with one accord rallied under the standard of the other, to fight the battles of their country. Their confidence has never been shaken in eiiher. The following, from the Commonwealth, shows how they feel towards the latter. Cincinnati Gazette. Gen. W. H. Harrison. We perceive, by a notice in the Louisville Journal, that Gen. Harrison is to receive an invitation to a public dinner in that city, which would have been tendered to hitn during his recent visit, had

not his stay heen too brief to afford time for the necessary arrangements. The general has recently been on a visit to Indiana, and on the whole line of his journey he was greeted with a cordiality of welcome which proved that the people have not forgotten his many and valued public services. Wo are glad to sec these evidences of favor gathering around the commander of the nordiwestern army, and dispeling the delusion which has for such a, length of time given to others the laurels tvinVh wnm iustlv due to him alone. It is

true, that for many years, those whose interest it was to produce that end, succeeded indiverting tho gratitude of the people from onowho had devoted years oi ton aim i-m their cause; but a crisis has now arnvcu when the merits of every prominent man arc carefully examined; and in this examination ne.atrcted merit will come aaain into remem brance, while those of sounding pretensions, unaccompanied by performance, will sink to that obscurity from which, in an evil day for the country, tlicy once emergen, io man contributed more to give Kentucky a character for chivalrous courage and soldier hko virtues, than Gen.

Although the citizen of another slate, he had no mean jealousies to gratify at the expense of the well earned reputation of the daughter of Virginia; but with that magnanimity which belongs to the truly great, he delighted in adding to the lustre of the star of the westShould ho accept this invitation from Louisville, we have no doubt but the festival willbe one reflecting honor both on the entertainers and the guest.

A case has lately been tried in Massachusetts, in which two important questions of" agricultural jurisprudence have been decided. First. That a fence erected by a tenant, under circumstances to satisfy the jury that it was tho original understanding between tholandlord and tenant that it should permanently remain, becomes a part of the realty, and is not subject to attachment for the debts of" the tenant. Second. That manure made on a farm in the occupation of a tenant, in tho ordinary way of making manure, is made for the farm, and consequently is the property of the landlord. bilk CuiTtTlsi-.
