I General Intelligence. French Question. We copy th* following article from the Res ton Courier, a leeding paper of ‘’assachu selts. and a zealous supporter of Mr. Web ster, for the Presidency. fVashinqton Letters.— We have on hand, . several letters from our Washington Corres pondents, for which we have not room to day. None of them, however, are of l& le r dates than Monday last. Onr opinions and feelings in regard to our relations with France d'ffer so entirely from those expressed by one of our correspon dents, in his ‘letter of the 18th, that we can not cops, ent to its appearing tri the eolums of this paper. VVe are not an admirer of she admin istration. It would be altogether a work of su pererogation to repeat the causes of our uni form opposition, or to re assert our belief that it is weak, foolish, and corrupt tn the last de gree, But we trust that our dislike will not sa tar be converted to prejudice or p iny fee ling as to close our eves to the true state o! the case, between our country and France, or lead os to adopt or approve the sentiments put forth by Mr. Calhoun, in the Sen He, after the reading of the “ Special Message.’* The sentiments and view* then delivered by that once great m n, as reported in the paper*, and by our correspondent are entirely unworthy of any creature that aspires to 'he name of an American citizen. Our correspondent says : “ France has received a gratuitous insult,” from our govgrnment. What a'r >cious shsfj der ! We are not aware that our government, or our people,— os a nation, — have ever re ceived aught from France but insult, since the days of Fauchet, Adel, and Genet, and the whole afair of the Letter <>l the French Min ister, which his charge had permission to read to our Secretary of State, is hot a second vd< tion of the intrigue which, m 1798, n. Fremli Directory auth< rtzed Messrs X Y. and Z and a certain lady, to enter into for ihe pur pose of entrapping Me.s.-rs. LlLworth Gerry, and Pinckney. VVe have read, witti some at tention, the documents ’hat accompanied the '• Special Message,” and iho famous Lett* r of ihe Due de Broglies, and we come to con elusions entirely opposite to (hn-e of our cor respondent. Ihe Letter is of «|| things we ever read, in the way of argument, the most week and inconclusive ; ii is a fl m-y and dis honorable attempt to justify the hollow hear ted and hypocritical policy of the French gov orninom—to evade, or avoid die payment of an acknowledged debt. “ Franco wauls mo ney and must h ive it ;” f r nice talks loud’y of honor and dignity, and refuses to comply with a treaty, although she has enjoyed, for tw<> 01 three rears, alt the benefits of our dis ci iminatig duties, win h were given to hi r as n br<be —a “ douceur,” —to induce tier to per form an act of justice. As to the Live Mill ions that France <>w- ans, and which she has owed us for fiiiriy years, ire care notln,, y about it. let her keep it. She will need it nil, probably, to m imtam an army to de fend her own government against me indignation of h<*r own citizens. We hope our govern ment will not so fur degrade itself and the nation us to make another demand for it.— Let the claims of mir citizens, to whom the monev b< longs: be paid at once from our na tional treasury, and then let France consul' her convenience and honor, and dignity, as (o the fulfilment of her iieaues. Un- honor and peace of our country will be promoted hr keeping better company than that of a nj'ioo no proverbially u * atthful in the executin’) ot its sol mn promise'. One thing m the letter above ref rr d to, we are glad ta see. 1‘ says— ‘ Th ere will be no war," Godgitmlth.it the prediction may be fulfilled ! FROM PICUL VTA.

Colonel Parish at 'he head of two hundred Volunteers from this district, composed of the Companies of Captains, Alston, Bellamy, and Caswell, had a sharp encounter with a large body of Indians. The attack commenced with the advanced guard under Caps. Bellamy, who had been allowed bv the enemy to pass their main body. Col. Parish immediately has tened forward <0 his support, when suddenly he wis attacked on both fl inks bv the enemy placed in ambush. The Volunteers m ide an unsuccessful attefhpt to charge on ho>se back.—They were then dismounted and formed in admirable order —They then charged upon the enemy in a manner worthy of vmera is In the. mean time. Capt. Bella my having routed the attacking paitv opposed to him. fell back upon the main body.— lhe enemy was soon forced to take shelter in a thicket. By this time night was coming on it was not thought prudent to follow them where the localities of the place and lhe darkness would have given them great advati ages. Our men rested on their arms in •he open pine woods, prepared to renew the action at d iv-light but during the night, the savages effected a retreat. Their loss must have been considerable, as six dead bodies were counted in one part of the field of Battle. Two days after Co). Parish marched for For K ng, arid arrived therein safety. He then proceeded to Powell’s town and dm-troved I'. ihe V dun eers then returned to Foil Dr.me, where they are now encamped. FROXf THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER. SCENES IN THE 11. OF R The Three-Million Bill, after calling up a long and a warm debate in the Senate, has been traiisfcried, with stronger interest, to the other II uise. On Friday, Mr. Adams came out with one of his most astonishing and pow-i erful eft’ll ?s. VVe h ive seen a letter, which I states that it was one of the most exciting scenes evet acted on the fl »or of the House It was iifion a resolution introduc' dby Mr. Adams, for the appointment of a select com mittee to enquire into the causes of the tail- ; ore of the 3 millions. In lite cmi/se of his remarks, he adverted to an expression made; a few days since by Mr. Mobster, that “ he' would not have voted for the appropriation. hod the enemy been at lhe gates of the Capitol ’’ Vlr. A declared, “ that Hie nian who held I and expressed such sen iments, had but one s ep further m go, and that step a na'iiral one —to join the enemies of his country!” The effect of this was electric. V most extraordinary and almost nnparall led scene took place. A spotitr.iieous burst of applause broke from almost every part of the 11. ill It came sudden, (says a very graphic spec tator,) quick, unexpected. Concert could not have produced any thing like it Imagine, if you please, that you are standing 111 a calm, clear d iy, in a lofty edifice, where all is qui-' et and still—when a single boll strikes the: building to atoms, and you may (otm some 1 idea of the manner of this thing. The older members, when matters became settled, rose | and s ated that such an occurrence was hith erto unknown.” Mr. Wise followed, bui did nol finish, before the adjournment. He spoke ’ with great animation—dealing hts blows, right I and left—making an onset on Mr Cambre- j h ug, not sparing even the Speaker 111 his chair. In -p -akn gol 'he memorable scenes jof the last night of the l ist session, he de I I scribed some of lhe members as sleepy, some ! tir -d. some noisy, and some as d> unkl ‘ lhe Washington Correspondem <>f the B •). | iimore Patriot gives a particular, graphic, and we suspect, a tollerbly impartial sketch of nr. ‘Adams’s’ remarkable speach, Ho says, the “ attack upon Mr. Webster was gratui ous, lint powerful beyond any thing (he)ever listened to We lay dm account ol the -peach befne orir readers—as il seems to be the great Lion of the day : ‘‘Mr. Adams now <mmiuenced by alluding to ihe declarations which u»d recently been made tn another place, that to that Hoose B' lunged the responsibility of losing thi-Forli fi alien Bill. He went <m to animadvert upon tlie opinions and declarations which had b'-eri ' made in thatp/ace, which lie s od were uniruo ' and not warranted by facts. As lie b i'ihi to grow severe, the Sp'-aker reminded him that the Rules of the House did not permit .1 mem ; bcr to anim idvert upon the proerdmgs of the Senate.

Before this, however, he said as it appeared to give gen tlemen so much disquietude for him to allude to the ‘•'pnaH.', he would transfer his place to tne Office of the National Intelligencer. (Heie was an audable laugh) In that paper ho said he found a prodigious arrangement going to the House with subserviency and man-wor ship! lie went on commenting upon tho great speech recently delivered by Mr. Web ster in -he Senate in the most severe and cut ting manner, deny .ng its assertions, running out against its positions and rid culing its arguments with tremendous sarcasm and in dignation. Once more Mr. Adams was call ed to order. Considerable confusion and great sensation prevailed —Mr. M r ise hoped, he said, the gen'lemari would be permuted to go on, out of order or in order. He wished him to devulgo all he knew upon this mosi tnj. poitant subject. If ever there was a time when it behooved men to speak out, it was now upon this question, let it cut where it might, whether the Executive, the Senate, the House, the Speaker of the House, or tho Chairman of ihe Committee of Ways and Means, it was time to speak out and let the truth be heard! u Mr. Adams again went on.—Ho went into a history of the doings of the last night of lhe lasi session; told what he recollected and knew upon the subject; justified tho $3,- 000,000 appropriation—said he voted for it, and if there was one act of his life which gave him mnip satisfactioojthan any ether, it was that of voting for that necessary and proper appropriation. He passed an oveiwrought penegyric upon the Executive, and asked in scum and derision who were ihe. sycophants and man-worshipers of that II »use, of whom so nuch was told in the argument of such prodegious eloquence, in the National Inlelli* gcncerl lie ridiculed (he Senate for profes sing so much ignorance of the Executive’s views m relation to the $3,000,000 appropri ation, and said it was very easy for it to pro fess not to know, what it should know, and to know what there was no necessity of its knowing. H« took up the declaration made ov Air W h-iur, that if the enemy were thun» deting hi die door of the Capitol, he would not vote for conferring upon an Executivo such an unlimited grant of power, and dwelt upon it for some Hine, uticring comments and insmuaiians which no num else is capable of ; d ung.
