Foreign FRANCE. We have received (says the 'National Gazette) ourfileofthe Paris Journal, des Debats, to the. 2d inclusive. The answers of the two Chambers of the French Parliament to the Kind's speech, are full of loyal ty and love, and express much satisfaction with the design of indemnifying the emigrants. The Chamber of Deputies say, in their address "We shall pray Heaven that the Royal House of France, miraculously pre served by the Divine protec tion, may forever reign over a people who glory in obeying it, and "owe to it their liberties and happiness."

Petersburg Hep. n:Yti. The London Morning Chro nicle had prepared us for an " a grcement between France and Hayti " " One great difficulty (is stated) arose out of the de mand of a place of strength in the island as a security for the payments of the indcinnificati- on ho orr,i tu: .v.ir. culty has been got rid of by the offer of the Hayticn Govern ment to pay the whole sum at once : and we understand that a house in this metropolis has offered to procure the requisite sum for this purpose." W e now publish a letter from a friend at Paris, stating from f llO hacf I r f wtV nlinn U 4 1 I. ! - I the best information that this compact had been actually form ed. We hasten to lay the ex tract before our readers as it describes an event in which we are so deeply interested and which may soon call upon both the general and state govern ments for the consideration of certain measures within their respective spheres of jurisdic tion. The emigration of Hayti may be expected to increase. Some of those who have already gone are dissatisiied because, says the Baltimore Chronicle, thev " embark with an idea that they are to live without labor."

"I am ready to leave Paris: probably in an hour but I wished to give you this infor mation, which presents matter of very serious reflection for the "South." The conduct of England too, ss regards her Colonies, is of a nature to throw them before long, completely into the hands of the Negro Population. You cannot con ceive how completely mad ma ny are in England on this sub jectOwen's followers among tne rest, while his system is slavery with a witness, Ben thamites, Wilberforce &Co. -&c. I cannot understand how En gland has escaped some violent explosion, with such a quantity of mad men as she has. The only reason, I believe, has been, that, as is generally the case, a slight variation in their derange ment, made them look on each other with contempt.
