Wc hope in a short time to be more punctual. fj-The render will find on the opposite pace, extracts from the ad valorem law, passed at the last session of the Legislature. We think it a much better law than the one passed at the prerious session, and we have no t'oubt it will be more acceptable to the people at large. I Ri:.riI INDEMNITY. Our Eastern exchange papers, received by the last mail-, confirm the statement made last week, that the French Ministry hml found sufficient explanations in the PreMdent's last mestagc, and had signified their readiness to pay the first instalment of the Indemnity on demand. The French Chambers met on the COth December. The Kinir, in his speech, says he regrets that the treaty between the United States amlFrance, made ontl.e4th of July, lo3l.had not received its complctecj petition. He states that he had accepted the olfier of mediation by the British Government, and hoped ''that this difficulty should terminate in a manner equally honorable to two great nations.-' CONGRESS SLAVERY. In the House of Representatives on the 8th ult., Mr. Pintkney offered a resolution, the purport of which was 1st. That all petitions which have or may hereafter be presented to Congress, praying for the abolition of slavery in the District of ColuuiLia, be referred to a select committee; "with instruction to report that Congress possesses no constitutional authority to interfere in any way with the institution of slavery in any of the States of this confederacy 3d. "that Congress ou;ht not in any way to interfere with Slavery in the District of Columbia." On the first proposition, the vote stood, yeas l?4, nay s 43 ; on the second, yeas 201, nays 7; on the third, yeas lt)3, nays 47. The Committee consist of Messrs. Pinckney, Hamer, Pierce of N.

NEWSPAPERS AMONG CHILDREN. Not many weeks since, a gentleman called in our office to take out his neighbor's paper. We bad often solicited him to subscribe, but he did not feel disposed to do so. However, we gave him one of the latest, which he took home,nd it rlcased his children s. well that they gave him no rest until he subscribed himself; and now, we take pleasure in saying that he is among our best subscribers. We cite this case to show that newspapers are of great benefit in instructing children, not only to read, but to make them acquainted at the same time with the affairs of the country; and if this individual, or any other individual, who may have a family of children w ho are in the least inclined to read, w ill, after taking the Times one year, come to us and say that their children have not received more instruction from the paper, than they would in the same time from tico dollars worth of 6vj"-s, we will give them our paper one year f r nothing. We hope the individual alluded to will take no offence at this publication. Our object is to induce others to "Go and do likewise."' Non uesidext L VXD Owxeus.

We visited yesterday evening the new steamboat, Hail Columbia, Capt. 11. Parkerson, and it affords us plea?ureto remaik, that she is one of the best vessels on the western waters.

Bl SIX ESS or THE CITY. The opening of the navigation has ngain crowded our city with business. We have a jam of steamboats at the wharf, delivering and receiving freight. From New Orleans there has not been time for many arrivals. Still, it will be seen from our advertising columns, that good slocks of groceries are on hand. Enlarged supplies arc sure to be received in a few days. Among the dry goods and hardware merchants, there is quite a stir. Much of their stock, ordered last fall, was arrested in the transportation, by ice. They have arrived fresh and in abundance, together with large supplies of spring and summer goods. The dry goods and hardware business of our city, is vastly more extensive than our advertising columns indicate. Country merchants need apprehend no difficulty in suiting themselves about as conveniently as in the Atlantic cities. The Canal is expected to be open and navigable in a day or two, when will commence the delivery of the produce and provisions now in store, through the country, reserved for that channel of conveyance to market. The true standard price for Flour and Whiskey must then be ascertained, and we shall know whether the present prices are, or are not, speculative only. Cm. Gazette, Jlarch 2. A robbery was committed on Monday between this city and Portland.

The ruffian? after the commission of the deed, thrust him forcibly out of the door of the hack. The young man called aloud to the hackman (o stop, but the latter drove on more furiously than before. The hackman, whose name is James GiNam has been arrested as an accomplice, and is now in jail. Louisville Journal. Kextutky.

Doctor Fraxklix ix France, The Philadelphia Gazette says "A gentleman who has been in Paris within two years, has stated to us that the barrier which leads from that city to the village of Passey, where Doctor Franklin once resided, is still known and called by the name of "La B arrierc Franklin." The same gentleman was informed at the principal manufactory of looking glasses, that the largest glasscss were made for the American market, and that owing to the American demand for large glasses, they had enlarged the size of their polishing tables, so as now to furnish plates of larger dimensions than any ever before manufactured. The quantity of lands still owned by the United States within the boundaries of the present Slates and Territories ex ceeds 330,000,000 acres those west of Missouri and Arkansas amount to 750, 000,000 acres more, of which about 70 or 80,000,000 have been assigned to the Indians or otherwise appropriated.
