By the Honse cf Representatives of Louisiana.

 The annexed Address to the People of France has been adopted by the House of Representatives of Louisiana, and was conveyed to Paris by W. c. c. CLAIBORNE, Esq. a member of the House, and son of a former Governor of that State. FRENcHMEN:-The citizens of Louisiana, the daughter of France, appear before you to tender you their lively congratulations and the expressions of their profound admiration for the issue of that glorious revolution which has just elevated liberty to that throne so long oc- cupied by despotism.

 On receiving the news of the great victory, all America thrilled with joy. But it was particularly in our own vast republic that the purest and most ardent enthusiasm was ava kened in every bosom, that the ancient ally, the faithful friend of the United States, had at length resained her glory.

 When illustrious France suddenly rose in her might, and trampling under foot a hoary headed tyranny and the livery of gothic abuses, was seen to mount the ancient pede S. tai of her rights, and then with the proud micn and imposing attidue which nothing but thir- ty years of victory could inspire, to raise her majestic front to heaven, as if to present to it the sublime spectacle of her regeneration, one burst of applause proclaimed the admiration of the American people.

 The old tri-ctlored banner, that banner as- sociated with the memory of past and the hope of future triumphs, was seen to wave over every American city; it announced to them that liberty was equally worshipped in both nations, and that the work of political emancipation was commenced.

 Could the world, indeed. long remain en- slaved, when liberty had lighted her beacon on the summit of the Capitol and of the con- stitutional palaces of France?

 FrenchmeD, your triumph which filled every portion of our great American family
