The folio wing important announcement ap
peared in the Mnuilcur of*Wednesday ;
44 The King has recalled M. Serrurier. his Mi-
“ nisternt \\ ;i -bingtoo. The Ministcrol Foreign

“ °f the engagements cnteied iuto by F'rancc,
•• the project of law relative to the Amcriran debt
44 will lie presented to the Chamber of Deputies
*• to nioirow. A'clatiso will be added, tho pur-
•* port of which will be to guaranty eventually
“ those French interests which may chance to
** Lc compromised.”
The “ engagements entered into by France”
here referred to. are uo doubt the solemn pledge
: nf the King that the Rill of Indemnity should lie
j presented to the Chambers. This will according
’y be dope, but it will doubtless lie rejected in
at d pass ilie indemnity bjll. Mr Clay’s *ble re-
jiort iu the Senate, unanimously adopted, will,
ws think, setde the question when it arrives.
Au extract of a letter of the !6th of January,
from an important source in London, ton gentle
man iu New York, says; “Mr. Set rurier, the
French Ambassador has been recalled, and Mr.
Livingston notified that his passports were ready
for him if he required than.'"
This sir p, though looking warlike, yet carries
its salvo with it, ns tlieMini-fer «if Foreign Affairs
at tho same time told Mr. Livingston that the
Government would recommend the Chandlers to
inikc the appropriation for the payment of the
debt. It is the general impression litre, that the
i'rer.ch will pay. if Congriss dees nothing this
scission."

WASHINGTON. Feb. 20.
It will-of course be well 10 mention winch is
of the most importance. First, during the sit
ting of Congress to-day, a report was circulated
that a messenger had come into the city, bring
ing tidings from France. Some said they were
official, others that they were non-official. There
were two rumors on the subject ; one was that
tbe French Chambers had not only rejected the
claim, but had actually declared war. The o-
ther was that the British Charge d’Affaires, Air.
Vail, bad sent over word to this country, that
Mr. Livingston had obtained his passports, was
on his way home ; and that Mr. Serrurior. the
Frcnifi Minister iu this conutry, was recalled.
Should the first report be true, that the French
Chambers have uot only rejected our claim, but
have taken the whip-hand of U9, they will, of
course, blockade oui fleet in the Mediterranean.
And how are we to believe it ? It must .be
kuowii to everyone that our vessels of war, oil
that or any other poace station, are not prepared
to meet the exigencies of a blockade or of actual
warfare, flow then, I must nsk, are they to
extricate themselves from the difficulty in which
they are placed ? This very thing was alluded
to, if uot prognosticated, by a member of tfie
House of Representatives,—when he begged gen
tlemen. to consider it ns at least possible, that
the French Government might think proper to
take the question iuto their own hands, of Peace
or AVnr ; and that if they did so, aud decide upon
the latter, they would at once gain thp vantage
ground of us, liy taking it upon themselves to a-
dopt measures of hostility. This, sir. is a inaitw
of much consequence. In the first place, be
cause it is not impossible that we may get the
worst of it, and in the next place, because, if we
do uot, if vre even succeed in our contest against
the French, nation, it is doubtful whether it will
result in good or evil to tho American natiou.—

Au attempt has been made through the agency

belief that Governor Lumpkin, instead of taking
prompt measures to punish the act, (depredations
of the Creek Indians,) aud prevent its recurrence
with the power aud authority of his own state,
had requested the President of the United State*
to furnish him with a force for that purpose.
That tho Governor has made such a request of
the President, is unfounded in fact. He has very

Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.
In the Senate today, there was a little debate
ou the subject of France, bet it was merely inci-
leittal, brief, and cautious. The administration
members declared themselves ready for war. Air.
Webster seemed to incline to the same view. Air.
'alhoun deprecated war as tho worst evil that
could hefal the Country, and expressed a hope
nt by a moderate & forbearing course it might
yet be avoided. The dcbsitc was caused by a
motion to print some memorials from Alassachu-
setts recommending a non-importation act. The
hill io cs-riblish branches of the Mint in New Or
leans, Georgia, and South Carolina, was ordered
to be engrossed ill the Senate; & Mr. Calhoun’s
bill iv a, passed by a vote of 31 to 11*
About 5 o'clock tbe following Communication
fro'n ATr. Poiudcxter, was laid before the Senate
by the Chair.

Gen. GLASCOCK.—AVe have announced
this gentleman as opo of the individuals nomina
ted iu the Union papers, as a suitable candidate
for the Executive office. His high claims are
well known to tiie people of the State. He h:
acquired honorable distinction by his military ser
vices, by his zeal, talent, and efficiency in main
taining the constitution against 'be pernicious
errors of nullification, by his splendid eloquence
and by the able, impartial, and honorable m m
nerin which he has discharged the delicate, ardu
ous duties of speaker of the House of Represen
tatives. But wo are authorized to say, that while
he is thankful for the esteem and confidence of
those friends who have presented his name to tiie
people on this occasion, without his knowl .Ige,
yet, if honored with a nomination, he could not
accept it; and he therefore desires not to lie con
sidered among those from whom i candidates to
be selected.—Fed. Union.

We see mentioned in the Randolph. (Tenn.)
Recorder, that the whole of that town h is been
recovered in a suit at law by a widow ladv in
the state of New York The claim was based
upon a military land warrant, granted to a negro
of the plaintiff'for services during the revolution-
T, and the courts, i f seems, sustained the
bill and decreed the whole town to th? ladv—
The matter has hc-’n compromised by the pay
ment of a considerable sum of money.
Tha hews from France published in thif n or-
ning’s paper, is of the most interesting character.

expected, produced a great i xcitemeut there
That sanguine people, it seems, an: little ralm-
lated to bear tho. plain language of tbe rtoogb A-
merican President. They, w ho for so lung a
time have neglected our claims for justice,—who
have disregarded our acknowledged ri gilts,—ami
who have refused to pay their debts, even wher
proved to be just.—now talk of insulted dignity!
of wound’ll honor! The assertion that ourdfeuiaiuis
would have been settled but for the language of
die President, we don’t believe a word of! why
hasn’t it been settled before ? why did it take 25
years to make a treaty, ami 3 or 4 years to carry
it into effect, if they meant all along to pay t)i«
ilnmaud ? We speak plaiu <-u the subject—no
feel indignant at the treatment we have received
from France, aud ue are rnudid ir saying, that
we dou’t believe, from tbe fii st. they evyr had any
idea of paying our. claim ! The King and the
Ministers knar that the Chambers would not
make the appropriation, when they made the
Treaty—but something mu«t be done—our Uov-
erumen' would be put . off no longer—and the
Treaty was entered into by the French Kiu/r,
for no other purpose 4-ut to gain time—V. e do
not believe at the time that lie had the least con
ception that the treaty would be carried into effect.
Tho whole conduct of the Freuch Government
on this subject, uo matt r under what dynasty,
has been one of evasion : ml duplicity ! Surely,
if any one has a right to talk of insult-d dignity,
of wounded honor of outrag'd rights, it is tho l -
nited States, who have submitted to wrong fora
quarter of h century ; and now when they insist
upon reparation, are met w ith insult!
We deprecate the horrors of WAR as milch u
any ouo—we admit the country ht;s uoihiug to
gain and much to lose—but if it must come, let
it come ! If there is uo other alternative, but to
submit to the wrong, with the injury smarting on
our backs, and the -insult burning in our bosoms;
with the reproach of our own consciences, and
the contempt of foreign nations :—or ;car with
but the prospect of redress—ihough it be but tbs
prospect, aud that a remote one—we say giv<
us war! AVe would rather nsk wlnt wc have
in an honorable contest for our rights, than tottt-
joy it under the imputation of cowardice • and th-*
constant fear of robbery such imputation vvouM
justify.
We think however that the Freuch nation will
prove itself more noble, more worthy ofit- - t riwt
name, than to force us ii.to a war on such fiia-’
pretences. We yet think tbe French people will
deliberate on the subject, aud not suffer passion-
to take the place of reason and common sense;
hut that the Chambers will pass tlm appropria
tion and allow the ti eaty to be carried into effect.
