from Paris-
" The Commission on Thursday afternoon decided on a paragraph proposed by M. Dupla, containing the three following points. First, it expresses the Satisfaction of the Chamber of Deputies at the non-ratification by France of the Slave-suppression Treaty of December 1841. Secondly, the execution of the antecedent treaties of 1831 and 1833 is to be tolerated so long as they are not exceeded, or if executed to the letter. Thirdly, the wish is formally ex- pressed, that some term may be designated for France to abandon her ex- ceptionable position created by the treaties of 1831 and 1833, and to return, as the paragraph expresses it, to the common right of nations."
