-~-'NssSAOp EeN0Fvem On Saturday. MT. Gorhauo moved tho rs-"". of the vote by which fine h;Il haS been passed over, and Mr. Everett toOk ,. o"- casiOn to state that he had authentic. hut not official information that the French Govern. ment had taken 30 lively an interest in the i. quidatiOn of the claim of Beauinarchais, who was French subject, as to associate it with American citizens on that GOvernment on the subject of fspoliations. For long time, France has refused even to admit the discussion of our claims, which amount to thirty millions of dollars but now that she seems inclined to permitthe discussion of the subject, it was of peculiar importance that we should throw nc instructions in the way. These reasOns sec med 10 be influential upon the House, and tho question of re- consideration was then carried in the affirmative, without division.

 Notwithstanding this decision, it is sOme- what doubtful whether the bill will be acted upon at the present session. There is a wide difference of opinion in the House on the sub- ject of this claim; and whenever it shall come up for consideration, it cannot fail to lead to a long discussion, and, at this period of the session, protracted debate must be fa- tal to any msasure.-NationGl Journal.

It is further said, that he disclaims all intention ta act upon those principles of prescription which have been such favorite topic with the Telegraph; but that. for mere difference of opinion as to his own fitness or qualifications for the office of President, he shall never he disp0sed to make any invidious distinctions in his selec- lions for office. Ifthese sentiments are true to the extent stated, they will effect great change of opinion among the friends, as we'll as among the opponents of the claims of Gen eral Jackson, <g

 It is seldom that a court is called to pro- painful circumstances as peculiarly apply to the case of this individual. Born in aliu- eDcrs and -eES>kigAiy'sespeetable~ family. af. ter having moved in the first circles of society, with an elegant taste and no small share of genius, he is taken from the society of the most refined, and consigned to that ofthe most debased.
