From tho brief and unimportant debate which
followed the presentation, on Wednesday, of;he
papers relative to the American claim, it is evi
dent that the French Chamber is resolved to go
fully iuto the question, and without taking the
word of either Minister or Committee; assure it
self of the justice or injustice of the demand.
This should have heeu done before. Theqrcs

In this state oftho case, is it proper, is it becom

For his own part, Mr. B. had yet seen nothing , ^onrifictiUous and line
to shako the opinion, which he Imd formerly ex
pressed to tho Senate, that the only mode of ob
taining justice from France was to express our
determination firmly that justice must be done,
lie, however, deprecated further debate at this
time, and hoped the memorial would he ordered
to he printed without further discussion.
The memorials were then laid on the table, and
ordered to be printed.
