(Continued from our lust.) Mr. Brown to Mr. Adams— No. 12. Pauis, Aug. i 2, 1824. ■Sin - Some very unimportant changes have taken place in the composition of the Ministry. The Baron de Hamas, late Min ister of War, is now Minister of Foreign \ flairs: the Marquis de Clermont Tomese is appointed to the Department of War ; and Chabrol de Crousal to that (of the Marine. I hc.se appointments are believed to cor respond with the wishes of the President of) tin; Council ol Ministers, and do not in spire a hope (hut our claims will be more favorably attended to than they have been under the former administrations.

No change in the I policy ol (he Government is expected, and ’ probably, none in the conipoMtion of ib. 1 Ministry.

( “the packet -hip whi'li sailed from N. i Vmk on the Ist ol September, br. light me the letter which you did me the honor toT address to me on the 140 i of Augu-t.” , “ conformity with the instructions con- ; tained in that letter, I have addressed one i to the Ranm de Hamas, Minister of For- i eisiti All,lies, a copy of which 1 have altea- ) dy i ll l rmed you, do not justify anv very i j strong expectation that a change oV mea-; [sores in relation to our allairs at this con'd, I ’ will follow.— i’he same individuals fill dis-i Cerent places in the ministry from those' ,j which they formerly held, but, in all pnba i;bilily, adhere to their lonuei opinions in re ■l lotion to-the subjects of disetission between 1 1the United States and Fiance. On the* l!point to which my Jotter to the Baron de . Hamas pai ticularly relates, the Count de Villele has already given his deliberate' . views in his letters'io Mr. Gallatin, date'' . (uh and 15th November, 18-22. and 1 l ave ,j every reason to believe that thev * remain unchanged. Having bestowe I mucli atteii -jlioii on 'he subject.it is probable his n,,in ijion will be, lit a great measure, decisive as e to the answer winch -hail be oven to mv letter. It is ibe opinion ol many wdl iu-j formed men, that, in the course of a few months, important changes will be made in the composition of the ministry. As these changes, however, will proceed from caus es wholly unconnected with foreign affairs, I am by no means sanguine in my expecta tions, that, under any new composition of the ministry, we may hope for a choice of policy as it relates to our claims. The Bih ■ article of the Louisiana treaty will be con tinually pul forward as a bar to our claims, and its adjustment urged ns often as we re new our claim for indeniiMty.-**" “ ihe Journal des Dehats, of this morn- 1 ing, states, that a! a superior Council of!

Every negociatin-i for in demnity necessarily presupposes that some wrong has been done, ami that indemnity ought to be made ; and the object of evers treaty stipulation respecting i>, can only uel to ascertain the extent of the ii jury, and to make provision (or its adequate reparation. 1 his is precisely the nature of Ine ne'mria (ion for Ameiacan claims which has been f n so many years the subject oi dV-ns-ion be tween the govenyaeftis if the United Si .te-. and of France. Tre wrongs done to our citizens have never been denied, whilst their l ight to indemnity has been establish ji‘d by acts done bv thid’Treurh t jovernnient jin cases depending the same p mclples junder which thev derive th or claim. 15v consenting t" connect wi'h such a negocia tion that relating to the Hth article of tin; )Louisiana treaty, the (united St ties would abandon the primdple upon which the whole discussion depends. \\ hen asking for re , |)urut ion (or auknow lodg'd \\ ron*j, the (jni 11 • • {j \ States hive been (old that France will not! discuss it with them, unless thev will first 1 ienounce their own se ise of right, and a I ' mit ami discuss, m connection with it, i claim, the justice of which tin v have hither- * to constantly denied. In anv negociatmn ' commenced under such circumstances, the 1 situa ton of the parties would oe unequal. ' By consenting to connect the pretensions . of France under the Bth article of the Lonisi i 1 ana treaty, with claims for indemnitv for acknowledged injustice ami i jury, the 1 United M .ies would be underwood' as ad- ‘ mitting that those pretensions were well ' founded; that wrong had been done to France, for which reparation ought to ho made. The g ivernment of the United States, not having yet been convinced that mis is the case, cannot consent to any arrangement which shall imply an adniis 1 sion so contrary to their deliberate sense of r.ght. 1 am authorized and prepared, on behaif of the United States to enter upon a limn- I er discussion of the Bth article of the Louisi ana treaty, in any manner which may be! desireil, and by which they shall not hr un derstood prev'oudy to admit that the con struction of that article, dai ned I>\ France, is well founded ; and also to renew the sep arate negotiation for American claims, em bracing at die same time all just claims I which f rench subjects may have upon the government of the United States. The change winch has lately taken place jin Ins majesty’s department of foreign af fairs, encourages the hope 'hat thisdm; or 'tant siihj ot will be candidly reconsidered ; that the obstacles which have airested the progicss ol th - negotiation may he removed; ami .ha the subjects of contestation between the two governments may be ultimately ad justed upon stuli principles as may perpet uate the gootl understanding ami hat mini v i whi> hli ivv s i long subsisted between the U. i States and Kiance. Should 1, however be disappointed in 'he result of this application, it i., to be ser ; u> jly apprehended that as the United States,. hare not hitherto seen, in the course of the discussion any just claim of France, arising from the Btn article of the Louisiana treaty, so in the persevering refusal of the French government to discuss and adjust the well founded claims of citizens of the U.

Nearly every boat was broken in pieces, houses were blown down by the wind, others by the fury of the sea, ami the whole town deluged—the night was awful. In the morning men and women were seen endeavoring to save their woods, by diking them front (heir windows; others ere endeavoring to preserve their lives bv letting themselves down by means of sheets from their bedrooms into boats ; others es caped by swimming.

CONSTITUTIONALIST. 1 AUGUSTA: \ , . 1 FRIDAY. JANUARY 28. 1825. 1 - We are informed that the Rev. William ’ T. Bhantly, will not go as lie had intend* ! ed to Philadelphia, but that he remains ia this City, and has been appointed perma nently the Rector of the Richmond Aca demy. and Guardians have now 1 an ample opportunity of obtaining for the i objects of their care, the best instruction in * the languages and sciences, since added to ' the high attainments of the Reverend Rec- > tor, the talents of Mr. James Moore, will be exerted in superintending the English de partment. The advantages of the Institu tion are very nearly upon a level with those of a College, at which rank it is not impro bable. that it may in due time arrive. Ar rangements, we have authority for saying, are in contemplation for increasing its Li brary—turnisliing a small but st'Jfcct philo sophical ap^jiratus —and extending its be nefits to the neighbouring not only ip the summer throughout , the year. In thus briJ|ffig to the pu'|| i? notice the condition ofthU Institution, no disparagement is interned to private Schools,- several ot which weoelieve are conducted upon the best jAiciples and with great suc cess, but it mufli afford a pleasure to the jcommunity to I&arn that a Seminary which ■ has experienced no small share of both pub lic and private patronage, is in a situation not only to claim but deserve the continu ance of both. . -so©— It will be seen by the Scheme •. ~ . published that the Masonic Halt I jbcfure the public, and we cannot „ai- j express the hope, in the cummen this undertaking, that it may mee extensive encouragement. Obje all lotteries have been made by vcr men, and we are not prepared to in this or .in any other case, that the end sanc tifies the means'. But the argument most re lied upon, viz,; that lotteiies beget a gam bling spirit unfavorable to industry—if valid • any >vhere,, oi at any time, can scarcely be seriously urged at ibis day, or in this coun try. Our citizens know too well the nature Ibis kind of sortilege to abandon their or dinary pursuits lor rapturous reveries and pleasing hopes; and although every adven turer has an undoubted chance for the high est-prize, yet as no certain calculations can be made upon it, the good fortune, in most cases, like the poet’s lame, will “ come un -1 oolied for, if it comes at ail.” In the case before us, the scheme is sufficiently brilliant to afford an inducement to pm chasers, but j in no lottery can the prospect be so inviting: as to prove destructive of individual ente* prize and exertion. Fortune is a whimsical deity, and until she has actually distributed th o!”; ll lei ,V S r. telli "S vv ’bcre her favors will fall. We advise our friends then to buy tickets, and to place their minds in such ai trame as neither to be depressed or elevated by blanks or prizes. It thev obtain gso 000 820,000 —810,000—or even SSOUO, let them still pursue their accustomed av’ocaS nous, ami use their wealth, as it should on ly be used—tor the benefit of their families ami the good of the society in which they live ; and if “ the numb -rs turn up blanks ” let them be consoled by the reflection that prudence and economy may still be invoked and that these never fail to triumph over Fortune. But there are other than person al mouves which should influence to the pa tronage of this Lottery. The object in view is not the gratification of avarice, or an idle osteiitatioii--it is the advancement ol the cause of Masonry—& cause which compre hends the interests of Charity, Learning, Morality and the Arts, and in support of which good men might be willing to give without even the hope of reaping a reward We have, contrary “ to the manner and i forms in such cases made and provided” spoken seriously upon this subject; we con clude with an old adage, which we hope our readers will make the theme of due deliber ation—“ He who ventures nothing:, wins nothing .” “ 9(o© Some numbers are publishing in the Co lumbia Telescope upon the subject of par ties in Great Britain and this Country We wash we had space to give them to our readers entire ; as it is--we insert the fol lowing paragraphs which will afford some idea of their merit: The house of commons now consist of 658 member.
