Treuty ,uifh France.-NVe translate the following article from the French Government paper Uhe Monteur,) giving what may probably be regarded an official exposition of the stipulations contained in the treaty lately negotiated between France and the United States. The stipulation for a reduction of duties on French wines, obviously exceeds the competency of the treaty-making power and will require the action of both Houses of Congress ei- ther before it be ratified before it take eff feet. The Moniteur states, that treaty cannot be ratified until the close of this year the beginning of ;he next.

 l. The United States, since 1910, have demand ed an indemnity of France, for the value of Ameri- vessels seized and confscated under the Berlin and Milan decrees. The amount of this claim was seventy-fve millions francs. The French Govern ment, not incllning to admit any claims, except those which applied to vessels illegally seized or confscat- ed has agreed to pay the United States indem- nity of twenty-five millions, and has reserved the right of making deduction from this amount of n million anda half, as an indemnity to some French citizens for their claims upon the Federal GOveri- ment.

 g. On the other hand, France, relying on the Sd article of the treaty of cession of Louisiana, which had placed the French navigation in that country on the footing of that of the most favored nation, de- handed that her shipping, entering the ports of Louisiana, should be exempt from the payment of extra duties, the English shipping has been since the treaty of Ghent, in all the ports of the Union- But the Federal Government insisted hat we gave too absolute construction to the article of the treaty of Louisiana, and opposed OUT views the more strenuousy because the advantages which our ship ping would thus have enjoyed, not in all the ports of the Union but in those of Louisiana only, would have given that State a monopoly of French com merce altogether at variance with the spirit of the institutions of the United States Under these cir cumstances, the Kings government, wishing to re- concile those national interests which 1t is bound to maintain, with the just and benevolent sentiments which 1t must entertain towards the Federal Government, has thought proper to abandon its in- depreciation of the treaty of Louisiana, and in lieu thereof, to spuate for specific and favorable rate of duties our wines

 From the exchange of the ratifcaons of the trea- ty, therefore, the wines of France which will be ad mltted into the ports of the Union, on payment of duties which not to exceed the following rates: Six cents for red wine in casks, 10 cents for white wine in casks and 9 cents for wine of all kinds in bottles the present rate of duties these several kinds of wine being respectively 10, b and 30 cents. This stipulation is to be obligatory on the Tederal Government for the term of ten years: and it is further agreed that if that Government shall duce the duties imposed by the existing tariff on wines in general, it shall al the same time cause proportional reduction to be made In favor of the wines of France so that the latter may retain the same relative advantage which is secured to them by the rates specified in the treaty.

 It is also agreed that the long staple coltons of the United States shall in future pay in France the same duty as the short staples. This equalization, which has existed since 1926 in regard to the long staple cottons of Brazil, will prove equally advana- geous to the American planter and our own manu- iacturers
