The Globe of the 16th inst. says:—

"The last arrival still goes to confirm the anticipation of Mr Livingston's first despatch after the reception of the President's Message in France. The day after it reached Paris, the Indemnity Bill was introduced; and every day since has given strength to the probability of its passage. The opposition are disposed to ascribe the late endeavors of the French Ministry to effectuate the treaty, to Mr Clay's report—a paper which did not reach Paris until long after the current had set in favor of the Treaty, and which, when the French come to understand it, they will find fell still-born in the Senate, the report not being acted on at all, and the resolution tacked to it being superseded."

"The following article from the Paris Constitutionnel, shows that the Message of the President has gone beyond the King—the Ministry—and the Chambers— that it has roused the People of France to a sense of their true policy, in a consideration of their interests—and that the public opinion is giving double force to the just demands of the Message by reaction:

The Chamber was occupied, to-day, with the examination of the proposal of the Deputies from Lyons, and with the project of a law for the twenty-five millions in execution of the treaty concluded with the United States.

[Here follows a paragraph relative to the Lyonese indemnity, on which it was remarked that the Ministers maintained a guarded silence.] The article goes on to say—

"But if the Ministry did not compromise themselves on the Lyonese indemnity, they showed no such apathy when the discussion was opened relative to the treaty with the United States. The debate was held with closed doors. The demand of the twenty five millions was defended with the greatest earnestness, not merely by the friends of the Ministry, but, without exception, by all the deputies from the maritime places. Several among those, whose habitual independence is known and honored, have appeared, in this circumstance, exclusively pre-occupied with the interests of the localities which they represent.

Certainly, the commercial interests are worthy of all the solicitude of the Chamber. They greatly preponderate in the balance of its decisions. But important as they may be—the dignity of the country has likewise its rights, and our maritime cities will not be, any more than others, disposed to compromise it. It was, however, pushing too far the defence of the ministerial project—to go as was done by some members, that length of justifying the message of President Jackson, and to pretend that he had done no more in that document than that which the dignity of the Chief of the American nation obliged him to say, after the rejection of the treaty of 1831, by the Chamber."

We remark that among the appeals to the Chambers to fulfil the treaty, besides that of Lyons and the others maritime places, great stress is laid upon the following:

"The Chamber of Commerce of Marseilles has addressed a long letter to the Minister of Commerce on the subject of the American Treaty, setting forth the evils that will result to them if the project of the law be again rejected, and urging its adoption."
