The present Congress met at a period when the foreign relatione of the country were lowering end porteatioua. When the country was on the very verge of a French war, which a one seemed to have realized or expected, and of which the danger was not discovered until it was ex

hibited by the message at the opeaise: of

the session. The extrsoeunary demand for explanations on the part of the French

government, a a preliminary condition of I

her fulfilment of the solemn ebligattooa of a treaty, and the indignant tone, and

universal determination of the American people, that no humiliating explanation

should be given, seemed at one time to

leave little hope of a peaceful termination

of cur difficulties with France. And we

are, perhaps, more indebted to the coodi

tion of Europe the menacing attitude

and the mammoth power of ttussia, for the cifc disposition of France, than to

any other cause. France, England, and

Spain seem to oe viewing with anxious

solicitude the present almost irresistible

power of Russia, and looking with much

distrost and jealousy at Iter naval anna

ted for ratification. Two unsuccessful whose maritime and commercial interests

Carts, have ben made to have it modified,

and so the matter rests. Believing that

time would increase rather than diminish the difficulty of treatii g with them, I have with others of the delegation been a axions for the ratification of that treaty. The bill making appropriaUons for the cewstruction of the Cumberland road in the states of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, has at length become n law. The sum for the road in Ohio is 300,000; that for Indiana, 350100; and for Illinois, ft 100 C89. More difficulty and delay than usual heretofore have been experienced in this

matter; and it is saacfa to be regretted

that so much of the working season will

have passed by before operations upon it can be com me need. - A bill appropriating 050,000 for the improvement of the Wabash river passed the Senate at an early peried of the session, but has not passed the House. An approoriauoa of $rl5fi09t for a harbor at Michigan City, has passed both I looses, and an additional appropriation far a lighthouse at that place, has also

motive or leaeoa of the conduct ef France

may have been, she has taken as sufficient explanation the mesa age of the Freeideat st the com me ace meat of the present session, and so has terminated all sfprehensioo of a French war. . Our intercourse with all the civilised nations of the earth are of the msst friend, ly character. We have amhassndora and other diplomatic agents wherever the interests of the country require. Our commerce has of late been greatly extended. It floats noon every ocean and sea. where

soever the enterprise and cupidity of saaa

baa tempted him to go. and squadrons of

eur navy, for the protection or was cvav sjeree, are cruising in the Mediterranean,

the West Indies, and the raoae Ocean.

The session, which has been much too

long, will terminate on Monday next, the 4th of July.

With great respect, WILLIAM 11END3ICK8.

The Louisville and Portland Canal bill

has passed the Senate, and is before the House. It authorises the purchase of the

private stock at sixteen per cent, above

par, provided so much of it can be pro

cured as to give the government the con

trol ot the canaL The object w to make

toe canal tree except such to' I as shall

he necessary to keep it in state of pre-

snrvatMMt and repair. The obligation of

the government to improve the navies

remove the obstruction there seems to be felly admitted, and should the Louisville

will

will not hesitate hereafter to appro-

pnate money, tor the paQoaa of tuaking

a ires canaj on tbe other svde of the river. There a much better canal can be made

than tbe Louisville and Portland canal.

One that would unite Jcfiersonviile and

New Albany would be a perfect work, and ha more valuable for its water power than perhaps any other esublisbment in the United States. No such appropriation however can be expected until tbe stock-

nowors or the Louisville and Portland Ca

at shall have refused a liberal proposition

irsm uongrese in relation to that work. Without such proposition it would be un

generous, if not unjust, tor Congress to

smhiji umi wotk valueless, by making a

the people of Indiana to a subject that is

ins: an important station in toe

lesmineroo of our! country : I mean the

fCvartraa oe Srut.

When we take into consideration the

fimmanee ameant of money which is an

nually sent eat ef the country for the pur

chase of thia article of luxury, it will

seem surprising that our farmers and cap-

talists have neglected taasr own laterests.

and tbe interest of the country generally, till the preeent day. in not growing and manufacturing it. Millions of dollars are seat to Europe for an article which cau be raised as well, if not Letter, in this country than any other on the glebe.

Our climate is more regular than that ofj

France and Italy for its culture, and the

genius of our Yankee brethren mora than

a match for them in tbe manufacture.

Place, side bv side, the old fashioned Pied-,

monteee reel, which has been used for centuries in Italy without improvement, and the neat- and' clever machines of oar Yankee inventors Gy,Dnx,k, Cobb, and a score of others, who have made the business so simple and easy as to place it in the power of every one to follow it. What machinery used in Europe can equal or

excel the beautiful steam-power looms of)

Mr. Gay tor the manufacture of it? With

The south eftne ad ventage of such machinery and such

a soil and climate as we possess, the neg

lect ot uiis important branch ot commerce

has become n downright alar upou the

be sure we want experience; but the aptitude of our American girls will soon
