The first article, hii-h ts tho most important, to claimants at least, o - in tho following words: "Article 1. "The French Government, in order ,4« liberate itself com|iletely front all.the reelamn items preferred against it liy thu citizens of tho United States, for unlawful seizures, captures, .ticquettrations, confiscations, air destructions of their vessels, cargoes, or.other property, engagoe to pay ttuin of twonty-five millions of fraucs to the government of tho United States, who shall alls tribute it among those eutitlfd. iu the manner »ud according to the rules which it shall deter- .mine.” Art 2 provides that tbc above sum is to bo paid at Paris in six annual instalments.

Art 5 provides that this treaty will not pre clude the prosecution of claims, other then those coming within its scope, iu the Courts of tho two countnex respectively. Art, 6.provides that the two Governments shall reciprocally furnish any doruucntarv evidence in their possession, to facilitate the adjudication of claims. , Art. 7 is in the following worth.: “The wiuos of Franco, train and after the ex- change of tho ratifications of the present Conven tion, shall be admitted to consumption iu the States of the Union at dutios which shall not ex- coed the following rates hy the gallon, (such ns it is used at present fQr wines in the UniicdKiaux) to wit: f \ cents for red wjuc in casks; ten ceuts for white wiue in casks; and twenty-two caul* for wines of all sorts hi hollies.

The object evidently is, to -throw the odium of tho "iustructious” from Mr. Van Iiurcu to the President: lu tho ’case before us, the President gave his directions;—tin: iustrui tious were put into form by tiro Secrotary,—the President read nud a;-- proved them, and they wore delivered to Mr. M’Loue. Iiow do wo know but that the para graph wbicli has oifonded the delicate sensibilities of gentlemen, had been actually dictated by the President. 1 do not think it at nil improbable, nud if so, i* it not nu act of gross injustice to make Mr. Van Bureu responsible for it/ The paragraphs so frequently alluded to iu debate, arc substantially trnc. 1 admit, they might as well havo been omitted.

The faet then, ot not culling his Cabinet toge ther, was the Pr.-sidcut's own oct, and not In conse quence of the advisement of Mr. Van Buren, as has been so repeatedly affirmed. Messrs. Clay and Calhoun The following is an extract of a let'or from Washington, in the N. Y. Amorican Advocate: ' • "I must giro you au.ftcron.nt of the remarkable explanation which, iu the course of die speech,' took place between Mr. Clay nod the Virv Presi dent, relative to lire ojrimons’of the latter as to the constitutionality of a protecting tariff, Mr. Clay was treating (jre -constituti-m d objection to the system, not argumentatively, hut historically. It was, he said, r.u objection ofloeout origin; even tiie" Senator from Sonth Caroliua, iu ids lung and elabvate argur.i nt, oinbrncing tho whole subject, forgot (lint objection, till nftcr hit speech was dolivered. ; The constitutionality of tlsc tariff was not dvoied, he believed, in tho celebrated ex position from the pen of the distinguished citizen of South Carolina, who fills the Ch iir of this body, jee, Mr. Calhoun rose and said, he was compelled to remark, in reply to the reference to iiis opinions, that bo considered a tariff for protec tion its unconstitutional. Mr. - Clay was sorry to boor it. It dautdy grieved him, as an instance of tbo cbnngeablencs* of human nature; for, if he remembered aright, tho Chair bad expressed uo such oniuioii in the great debate of Idlti, io tbc other Ilouso. Mr. Calhoun replied, ‘that was a tariff for revenue, not protection: tbo constitu tional question was not debated.' ‘So, si.-,’ re- joiupd Mr. Clay, \fur it teat not then considered debericbk.”' . There must be tome mistake in the ahnvo statement—or Blr, Calhoun could scarcely have forgotten the grotmd bo took in 1816. "Tho tub- st*nce”.of hi* speoch "on Blr.
