Richmond, 122d Jauuary, 1835.
Sir—Yonr communication, os Chairman of the'Com
mittee of Instruction, lias been delayed, from circumstan
ces over which I could have no control. My the tirrtt op
portunity, after I received it, I forwarded it to-,
with the request that .l.e' would, with ;t« little delay asnos^
»>if)Te,'in ’Covnecii'on with OCiVcrs. make tl
vostigation, and furnish me the result, ^levc^cceiv^^
till last evening, the accompanying statement. They re- j
present the whole number of votes in the county, as far \
«*» they can ascertain them, to be G87. The committee,
of which you are chairman, believed and reported the
number to be only (>51*. It is impossible for me to say,
who w in error ; but it can hardly be considered unfair or
illiberal, tn take tlm middle ground, and settle upon 073,
as the whofe number of votes in the county. This is
done with the view to avoid the imputation of injustice,
(ifpossible,) to either party.
As Chairman of the Committee, you report the whole
number of names upon all the instruction lifts, to-be,
according to the information before you, and'thc means
of ascertaining, 355. Vou-will perceive from the com
munication acconipanyr.-og this, that the list containing
the 355 signers, has been carefully examined, and re
duced to !^76, by striking oft" Wi oad votes, 1!) names
withdrawn, and 8 Tianjei, d6««*k twice, where there was
but one of the same name 'entitled >to vote, or thrice,
where there were but two. SuppcJsigJboth parties actua
ted an'1.‘influenced by the same principleij^f^iati^^^^ukl
T«, with any appearance of propriety, heSHHKjunS^7
to yii^^^^^ft
a calm review of nil the circumstances,
as a faithful representative, I am no^g00H^VoasIas
stircd the people of Cumberlaif*^^would7if selected? I
voted last winter a censure epon the President, for the
removal of the deposites. I voted for the resolution de
claring ihc Bank of ihe United-States unconstitutional.
I voted also, for Mr. I-eigh to-aupply the vacancy occa
sioned by the resignation of Mr. Ilivcs; and I was hap
py to find from the proceedings of the people at their
r ebruary court, a copy of which, wan forwarded to me,
that my course, so far as It was then before them, met
their approbation. At tho Spring election, I announced
upon all occanions, nnd r.o one doubted my determina
tion, if elected, to vote for Mr. Leigh. *
Upon the subject of the United States Bank, there is
evidence of ever, greater unanimity now. than at Fe
bruary court la3t. \ or you, at that time, it appears from
the proceedings, offered a substitute for the adoption of
the meeting, condemning the course of the United States
Bank; but acknowledging the constitutionality, and main
taining the necessity of n U. 8. Bank, and even suggest
ed the plan ofsuch an institution. Yourselfcertairrt y, and I
probably others who voted for the trubtAiUrtc, have since
united in tins opposition to the constitutionality and po
licy of the U. Htatea Bank. My opinions have under
gone no change, either upon these subjrcts, or the right j
of instruction. I acknowledge and maintain the right
of the people to instruct their representative, and his !
obligation to obey or resign; but 1 dray the right of the
representative to act in turret opposition to the will of!
the constituent body expressed m the most solemn form,
and that too at the bidding, as ru this case, of a minori
ty I do not know, nor will l charge fraud or misre
presentation upon any of tire circulators of the papera
of instruction; but 1 have received communications in
relation to some of the persons whose names are report
ed upon the list furnished me l»y you, denying that they
find signed, or authorized their names to bo signed to any
such paper. 1 oni, respectfully, yours, Ac

Ni.w York, Jan. W>.
Late from France—The Havre packet ship Kris, I
Captain 1 unek, arrived yesterday, bringing Paris dates ;
to the 23d. Nothing is added to our previous intelligence |
on the subject of the indemnity withheld by France from
thif Government, it is prob&ble that the Mcns-ige of
President Jackson, reached Paris very shortly after the
sailing of the Erie, ns the packet that sailed from this city
8 few days previous to the one which carried out the Mes
sage had a trendy arrived at Havre.
The attention of people of all claasea in Paris seems to
have been wholly taken up with the condemnation, by !
the Chamber ol Peers, of (he proprietors of the news- i
paper, U National, for a libel on that body. We copy a
report of the proceeding. Immediately after the sen- ■
tence, a subscription was sent on foot to raise the amount
r»f the fine, and nearly the whole amount wait nlmonf im
mediately subscribed, among the contributors being 1
many or the most prominent and distinguished French- :
men.
The naper* brought, by the Erb^Hjii*h very little
political new* of interest. Much usl^^tli extr.icting,
together with the. report of the
Cll surra or Pr r «*.—-Silting .
Baron Fauquier in the Chair, at 1 o <m^Hfcn>e ex- j
ported proceeding* of the day had caused a very ->n*i
dorablr crowd to collect at the doors of the Chamber. —
The public galleries were excessively full, and even the *
Heporters' gallery was closely besieged by a number of I
individuals anxious to obtain admittance. Amongst the
number were several Members of the other Chamber,
who had m vain endeavoured to effect an entrance olse - I
where. M. Dupin, the President of the Chamber of
Deputies, and f-ord Brougham, were observed in one of
lhe public galleries. The President of the Council,
(Marshal Mortier,) and the Minister of the Marine, were
in their usual places, l.W Peer* were present.
The minute* of the last .sitting were resd and adopted,
and a Committee was appointed to examine the Bill on
the functions of the Municipality.
- ‘
At half past twelve, M Ilouen and Lu* advocate, M
Carrol, were placed at the bar of the Chamber.
The President calk'd the attention of M. Koucn to the
cause for which he was summoned to the bar of the
Chamber, and proceeded to rvad to him, in succession,
the following articles of the law applicable to his case:
Art. 15 of the law of the 35th March, 1833; Art. 9, 10,
and 11 of the law of 9th June, 1819; and Art. 14 of the
law ol 18th July, 1838. He also recommended both the
accused and his counsel to express themselves in becom
ing and moderate terms, and with duo respect for the
law; and adding that the ebservauee of this, their boun
den duty, would bo rigorously exacted, were they before
a judicial tribunal, and would not be less strictly enforced
by the Chamber.
M. Rouen then commenced his defence. He stated
that for some days past ccrtuiu organs of the Press had
enlarged, with much apparent satisfaction, on the cetr
tainty ol Jiis Condemnation. Had such lieen his opinion
he would have made no defence, but the respite of four
days, which had been granted to him, led him to indulge
a hope that even at the bar of an exceptional Court, the
voice of truth would not be heard in vain. Had hiwW
ktieal opinions differed from those advocated by thojoiir
nal to which bis signature was aliixed, he would not have
taken upon himself the responsibility of those Opinions;
but lie now declared to the Chamber, that onu common
spirit animated the intelligence w hich directed the A#.
tional, and the unflinching devotion which accepted the
responsibility of its articles. The paragraphs which ap
peared obnoxious to the Chamber had been submitted
tor Ins approval; and as lie had considered the opinions
expressed in them just and true, he-liad unhesitatingly
sanctioned them, by signing his iwinic to the last page of
the journal, lie had before nu,y made sacrifices for li
berty. Under the Restoration he had not trembled, in
presence of tb- seatfold, wtykrh craved the blood of ar
dent and youthful patriot*-, Uud was it expected that he
would now shrink with terror? During ten years he
had played lus port in.Uie drama, the sublime dcnouc
vnnt of which was the. it.- volutiou of July. At that period
. ,a,‘ undergone a lengthened incarceration on suspi
cion, and for that reason he could well understand the
bitterness of spirit, felt by those now exposed to a simi
lar lot. When hundreds of unfortunate prisoners de
manded justice, and when the voice of power replied
with pitiless and insulting calmness—“ Wait, your num
bers nry te gre.it; wait tor the erection of a court of
justice large enough to contain you all,” was the Nution
"t to b* silent ? Was it not to cry shame on tins lan
gung** of derision and barbarity ? " Was it not to brand
the u;en so ready to do the work of power ? Was the
lor.e of complaint the language of guilt ? Rut it was
said that the complaints of the National were full of
gall and bitterness. Wen the Peers themselves calm
when they summoned him to the bar of that Chamber? I
Above all, were these Peers calm who declared their
opinion that no respite, no delay, should be granted to '
him: He had already been sentenced to six months' im- I
prisoniuent, and was about to undergo a fresh trial at
the Court of Assizes. Jf the peers, too, were to con
demn him to ar. additional incarceration, he might dc- I
plore the error of some amongst them,—he inigTil coni- I
plain of the thirst of vengeance displayed by others of'
their body, but he would never despair of the future li
berties ot Franco.
M. Rouen having se.t down,
M. Cariell now rose—(Marks of attention.) He knew
not what might be the feelings of the Chambers called
upon to judge the accused and thoue who participated in
hi8 opinion*, but for liis .n«&rt bi* had not recovered from
his amazement at the smaden overthrow of principle*_at
the unexpected changes which had rendered them amena
ble to the jurisdiction of the Peers. Four years ago the
Assembly of which the Peers formed part was at issue
with the country, and the aristocratic Peerage had to bear
its part m the defeat of the counter-revolution. At that pe
riod, the National had summoned the citizens to arms, and
demanded tlw expulsion of some of the members of the
Peerage; and yet such acts were not regarded as crimes,
but us laws dictated by a triumphant revolution. He was
not besotted enough to believe that a situation brought
about by the exciting language of the public journals could
last; but they had all witnessed one of those convulsions, I
produced ra ther by the incorrigible folly of a government
than by the irritable feelings of the people. A journal utter
ed the cry of alarm—the watchword, and the power of
the oppressor was crushed with a facility which amazed
even the conquerors in the struggle. Such a catastro
phe afforded a severe lesson, ami yet a lesson which
was not always turned to advantage. Some months af
terwards, affairs resumed their ordinary course, and the
same questions were once more agitated in a manner
which rendered a fresh catastrophe a matter of inevita
ble necessity. Rlood had streamed in torrents; but for
what had that blood been shed? Had it flowed for li
berty and the country ? Had a revolution t.-a-™ p
\\ aH it. indued, true that the palace of the Sovereign, that
very Chamber— nay, that very Capita), had belonged
lor ten days to u magnanimous people ? Were jour
malists impostors, because they remembered that, no
1,1010 than lour years had elapsed since the sovereignty
of the people was proclaimed—and since it had been ac
knowledged that from them flowed all legislative and
executive authority? It had been thought enough to
allow the National the privilege of offering explanations,
but not of making defence—lor it could enter upon its
defence only in presence of its natural judges. The
gjhamber had been imaWi^to resist the temptation of
JUMf-ii.-- .-.v .u own cdSK virtue of an obsolete law
which had not been repealed in jvryy, twrcaxise none tm<l
even imagined that it could ever be put in forcoyn a free
country. From that omission might be gathered the
fact, that liberty cannot be founded on a triumphant revo
lution, but upon the securities obtained before thv con
querors lay down their arms. Under the Restoration the
men of July had learned how to preserve their liberties.
What now remained of tbe Revolution of 1630! An
emblematic symbol, the tri-colored flag; a word, the so
vereignty of the people;—and lastly, a striking example,
to teach the people that the destinies of a country should
never be abandoned to despair. (Great sensation.)
After the expulsion of the fallen dynasty, when the
men of the Restoration once more walked abroad, they
had not been sufficiently distrusted. France had sup
posed them incapable of acts of daring—ami they had
dared ! Here, M. Cnricl had described in glowing terms
the illegalities-committed for the last four years by Go
vernment, and particularly the prosecutions directed
against the press. The National had been despoiled of
its rights, and menaced in its interests, though that very
journal had in 1630'originated the proposal for placing the
dynasty of Orleans on the throne. For his part he asked
forgiveness of his country and pf the world, for his share
rn the off-nee. (Great agitation ) ftf. Carre! jleii re
marked that no passage of the article which formed the
subject of the accusation was particularly designated
as offensive. Where then lay the defamation? Defama
tion always had a character of personality; but in j
the article complained of, no individual won accused j
by name. It was not to be supposed that the fame !
of the Members of the Chamber was hound together
like tlv- pecuniary interests ofa company of specula
tors. M. Carrel then alluded to the disavowal de
manded by Lord Brougham from the publisher of the
Morning Post, when the latter was summoned to ap
pear before the bar of the House of Lords for inisrepre
{(ntitl/f thf* nr.lit I lir imMc ntirl I r/I / A •
moment all eyes were turned in the direction of Lord
Brougham, who wan in one of the galleries ) M Car
rel contended that the case bore no reference to that now
before the Chamber. Lord Brougham had exacted repa
ration, but not vengeance; and mi unfair application had
been made ol the precedent here, where it was not un
derstood. M. CarrH next briefly summed up the char
ges made against the National by M. Phillippc de Segur,
and slated that the explanations of that journal would
have been: 1st. Upon the causes of its alleged disre
spect for the peerage ; 2d. Upon its right, as an oppo
sition journal, to discuss the competency of the Court
of Peers to decide on die affairs of April; 3d. Upon its
right to discuss the report placed before the public, in !
consequence of an indiscretion not within the jurisdic
tion of the Chamber; and 4th, upon the right which the
AW/cmolcnjoyed in common with all France,ofexamining
the composition of a majority of the Chamber—a majo
rity which had hut a life interest in the privileges and
which might at any moment be changed by fresh addi
tions to the Peerage. Following the order established
in his division, M. Carrel rem arked that the hostility of
the National against the Peerage had commenced with
the existence of that journal In support of that, assor- j
tioii, he quoted an article of M. Mignct (now a member j
of tlie Council.) which was published in February, 1830. !
In this article the Chamber had been designated as an
asylum for all Deputies—an hospital for the wounded, i
In spite of such language, which was far more offensive |
than any contained in the article of ihe National, no pro- j
sreution had been directed against M. Mignct. M. Thiers, 1
too, the present Minister oft he Interior, had also writ- ;
ten and published in the National two articles against the '
Peerage, remarkable for their violence. M. Carrel now
proceeded to enumerate the causes of the hostility dis
played by the National towards the Peerage; amongst j
which, the most prominent was the constant refusal of
that body to revise the trial of Marshal Ney. For his 1
part ho would say, that the judges of that departed hero j
were more in need of advocates and defenders than tho !
memory of their victim. [Great Agitation.]
The President here interrupted M. Carrel, lie could
not permit, such observations to lie made; and if persist
ed in, the Chamber would be justified in making him j
(M. Carrel) the subject of a prosecution similar to that j
nev/ directed against the ('mint of the National.
M Carrel replied, that if any Peer within the walls j
of that Chamber was offended by his language, he was
at liberty to summon him to undergo the penalty incurred
by it. lie, M Csrrel, would at any moment be ready
to appear at the bar of that Chamber: and he would j
cheerfully submit to be called the fiis* man of the gene- ;
ration of 1830, who, in the name of Franee, had entered !
his protest against an infamous assassination [Cries of
Brave ! from the public galleries.J
The President upon this, stopped M. CarreJ, when
(jur.<-t*l Kxceltnans, who had previously risen, in spite
or the President's declaration that he was out of order,
exclaimed w ith great energy, "Right ! the death of Mar
shal Ney wns an nhominame assassination."
[This declaration was received with loud applauses
from the galleries. M. de TaseJier demanded the im
mediate expulsion of those who f.hns interrupted the pro
ceedings, but the only consequence of this appeal was
a repetition of the applause]
f he President then asked M. Rouen, if he had any
thing further to nrge in his defence.
hr Rouen replied that M Csrrel had not concluded;
bul the President declared that he could not be •iillVte J
to continue.
Carrel hoped that the Chamber would not make '
M. Rouen sutler for the .position in which he [M. Car- 1
rcl] had placed liimaeli^aiid declared that the remainder i
ot his address, which wii committed to writing, was free
lroin all otlensivc /language. Having been allowed to j
proceed, he maintained, that as the accused were allavow- ]
edly hostile to the Peerage, that body could not in the
present case judge with impartiality. After comment- |
nig on the d^jleteut laws passed during the lust session, |
he suddenly stopped, and after a pause, said—“Gcntle
* again find in n»y manuscript the name of Marshal
Ney, but, 1 have given iny word not to pronounce that
iiaiuey'l must first ask permission to do so."
1 Wt' President, with greut warmth, refused the per
, ,,,ir*ion solicited by M. Carrel.—{Strong sensation.J
* *j'M. Carrel observed that this incident was the best de
rrence he could urge in favor of M. Rouen. Was it be
lieved that the Elder llranch alone is answerable for the
blood of Marshal Ney ?
The President here again interrupted M. Carrel, and
insisted' upon his confining himself within due bounds.
M. Carrel replied, that a discussion of the former acts
of the I eernge was a necessary part of the defence. He
begged that the impeachment against the.YtUion/Udc 1834,
as drawn up by M. Philip dv Segur, be again read, as
it would show that the journal had been accused of simi
lar attacks against the Peerage ever since 1830.
1 lie President again recommended M. Carrel to con
fine himself to explanations on the article which formed I
the subject of accusation.
M. Carrel replied, that the entire of the article form
ed the subject ot accusation. The .Valional was charged
with having published language offensive to the whole
1 eerage; lie had therefore been compelled to make a se
parate uttack upon every portion of the mass of the
Chamber, in order t > justify the attacks of the National
upon the whole. If his allusion to the condemnation ofj
Marshal Ney had produced irritatioo, it had also excited
sy mpathy among some of the Peers. 1 le would cheer- !
lull v answer any questions put to him by the President.
1 lie' President said, that M. Carrel must be aware of
the points upon which explanations were necessary.—
Nothing couhl Ik* more clear. {Oh ! oh !] On the sub
ject now touched upon, it was not allowable to make dis-.
tinctions, as the wliule Chamber took upon itself' the re
sponsibility of its acts.
Carrel complained of the difficulty of his position—
it lie continued iis he commenced, he would Ire again in
terrupted. And as no questions were tol>e addressed to
him, all defence became impossible. lie therefore for- j
rnally demanded that the Chamber should be consulted
on the question of the defence. He had obtained from a '
jury the ucquittalof .Witional dr 1834, because the Jury J
was neutral; but ho was now before a Tribunal, com
posed ol men to whom the avowed opinions of the JVation
al was obnoxious ; he therefore again declared, that a de
fence was impossible. He couhl neither allude to the for
mer acts of the Peerage, nor even to the terms in which
flic accusations inaclu by M. I’hillippc dc Segur was
framed. lie would, therefore, be silent.
1 lie President then asked M. Rouen if he had any tliiiin
to add. *
M. Rouen—“ Nothing; except iny protest against the
mutilation of my defence."
M. Rouen and M. Carrel having been removed from
the bar, the Chamber proceeded \o tl»e ballot on the
question of Guilty or Not Guilty, and M. Rouen was 1
declared Guilty by a majority of 138 to 15.
1 1 ho President thou stated to the Chamber,that the mini
mum ol the penalty of imprisonment incurred by the I
accused was two mouths, and the maximum 3 years_
the minimum of the line 100fr., and the maximum j
10,0001 r. Mach of the Peers was required to inscribe
upon a bulletin the amount of fine and the terra of im
prisonment, which in his opinion he conceived should I
he indicted, and afterwards to deposit his bulletin is
the urn.
M. Dubouchage recommended the Chamber to im- I
pose the minimum of tire penalty, and added that the j
severity of the Chamber of Deputies towards the I'htilor I
of the Tribune had not diminished the virulence of the
press.
nouenanu M. Carrel having boon again placed at
the bar, the latter expressed a hope that as M. Houen
had not long been the responsible Editor of tin* National, '
the Chamber would weigh more hearily on the journal
than on his client, and diminish the imprisonment, though
it might augment the fine.
M. Ilouen and M. Carrel again withdrew, and tlx?
Chamber proceeded to the ballot on the question of the
amount of the fine. The following wns the result: For
the fine of lO.OOOfr. 121 votes; for 5,0001'r. JO votes; for
l,0001r. 2 votes; for 200fr. 11 votes; and for lOOir. 3
votes.
I hegcront of the .Yutional was accordingly sentenced
to pay a line of lO.OOOfr.
On the question ns to the term of imprisonment, two
ballots took place without any absolute majority The
following was the result of the second ballot: <V votes
for two years, and 36 votes for one month. The third
ballot on the question as to which of these terms should
be inflicted, gave 3d votes for two years, and 50 for one i
month.
The Chamber accordingly sentenced M. Rouen to be
imprisoned for two years
flie sentence wns then read and passed, M. Lanjuinais
alone voting against it.
The President having stated that sentenoe should be
communicated to M. Rouen by a hnisurr,
The sitting was adjoufr>t*r ar
Pints, 12th Dec., 1834.
To thr Editor of T.e .Yational
Sir—The judges stand more in need of exculpation
(rehabilitation) than the hero immolated by order of fo
reigners. This was my opinion when 1 gave my daugh
ter in marriage. At that time I would alone have paid
the fine to which you have just been condemned. Now
1 send you 100 francs, part of the proceeds of the sale
of tny furniture. Receive, Ac. J. LAFITTE.
The daughter of M. Lafittc married the eldest son of
Marshal Ney.
The Chamber of Deputies has refused a grant of
20,000 francs to M. Dupin, the President of the Cham
ber, for expenses incurred by him in his official station.
The circumstance has elicited the following remarks from
Lc Constitution net. It is the only allusion, even of the
most distant kind, we find any where, to the Treaty of
Indemnity to this country:
“ If the alleged motive of economy were the real cause
for rejecting the demand of indemnity, it has nothing to
complain of; but will hear in mind this vyto in order •
claim frpuUlu^ftfrtf^ gf ijie Centres that rigid econo
■My in future which they now display against their Pre
sident. These members will doubtless rise in a mass
against the bill of 360,000 fir., which has now swoMm to
the round sum of 1,200,000 fr. The bill for 25 millions
has also received its death-bkrw.”
Paris, Dec. 22.—The Mvnilewr of yesterday publishes
othciaily the Quadruple Treaty between France, Spain,
(Ireat Rnt.iin and Portugal, dated so far hack as the
22d April last, and the additional articles, dated the ISth
of August. It is remarked ns singular, that this docu
ment should be published in the same number which
contains the Minister of England's declaration, that the
new Cabinet intended honorably to fulfil all existing
treaties with Foreign Powers, and at a moment when
doubts arc expressed in many quarters of the line of po
licy intended to be taken by the ilritish Government.
Mt'AIV
Defeat or tiif. Caruiti.—The following notice

supplied with ammunition, and at five they marched to

MARKETS.
Havre, Dec. 33.—During the past week we have h.id
considerable activity in our Cotton market, both lire trad®
and speculators having been encouraged to purchase by
the advices received from your side of 24th ult., giving
to expect a reduction in the crop, ss well as a protracted
interruption to the shipmentv for this port, ia ccmjr
queues, However,of unfavorable account* fruui Liverpool,
no advance was obtained; since then, the advice* from
your city of the 24th ult. have entirely annihilated all idea
of a short crop, and thereby materially diminish the
hopes ot speculators: the expectation of short supplies for
the next two months will nevertheless enable holders to.
demand high prices tor some time longer; but the motives
for an ultimate decline still exists, and it is therefore
impossible to form any opinion U|>on the probable course
of our market in the coming spring.
DW NEUS OF SLAVES.—A planter from the
JL South wishes to buy, for his oten exclusive service,
irom 30 to 100 slaves, in families. He would prefer
purchasing from one or more large slave-holders, who
might be disposed to sell out their entire stock, at the
following rates, yix: one third Cusli, and the balance in
one, tico or three instalments, negotiable pa per, or accep
tances in New Orleans or New \ ork to be given, and the
security in all respects, ample and satisfactory, lie will
be prepared to treat for such a purchase, in all the
months ol January or February; and will receive the
Negroes when the contract is made, or in the Summer
or Fall, at the option of the vender.
Letters, (post-paid.) with description of the Negroes,
may be addressed to his agent.

pair of mill-stones, and command an ample custom in
wheat and corn.
I will sell the above Lands, under all the advantages
and disadvantages, if there be any, upon reasonable terms.
I should greatly prefer to sell the Lands I have briefly
described, to one purchaser, but if this canuot bo done
convicntly, 1 will divide it in parts to suit purchasers.
I sell, or will sell my Lands, with a view to a removal

A DESIRABLE FARM on the Ohio Hirer, for Stile.
I wish to soil my properly in tho county of Cabell,
lying on the Ohio river. through which the turnpike road
to tile mouth of Big Sandy river now passes.
The prmjcrty is well known as a place of imposing
situation, if aided by a little capital and enterprise—and
has been looked to as the probable ultimate point of
uniting the land and water travel through the central
route of Virginia. The farm consists of 1,000 acres, 300
of which are Ohio bottom, and the up-land well timber
ed, and much of it capable of producing 40 to 50 bushels
of corn per'acre. There is altout 130 acres of cleared
lund, with orchards of selected fruit—and the buildings
comfortable. I prefer selling the above property at pri

the subject, may find me at my residence, at Wood
