LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 30, 1835.

The Speech of President JACKSON on the opening
of Congress, on the 7th inst., will be found in another
part of The Sun. To this document,,upon which is
presumed to hang the peace of two worlds, every eye
will naturally be directed. It is long, but neither pro-
lix nor unintelligible ; and, as far as regards the re-
lations between the United States and France, contains
forcible, and distinct summary of
an admirably clear,

the past and present state of the questions now
at issue between the two Governments. It is im-
possible to pay any attention to the dignified and
lofty bearing of the PREslDENT:throughout this affair,
without being struck with the exalted patriotism and
singleness of purpose which distinguish his entire con-
duct. He appears to have placed himself on an ele-
vation so exalted, that his personal feelings cannot be
brought into collision with those who take offence at
his mode of discharging his high official functions. In
his justification of his own acts, there is a patriarchal
simplicity joined with the just pride of conscious rec-
titude, which will not fail to make a deep and salutary
impression on the minds of the allies of the Republic;
The whole tenor of the message is firm, but peace-
able. No explanation of the words in the last
message, which France considered offensive to
her, has been given—none will be given—and
yet the refusal of such a concession is ex-
pressed in language so respectful that France ought
to be satisfied with it. The PRESIDENT declares that

TH E SUN, LON _DON , WEDNESDAY, DE CEMB ER 30, I 535.

it was neither his intention to menace nor to insult France;
and that he himself would regard it ridiculous in any
Power to attempt to,extort from herfears what her sense
of justice would cause her otherwise to refuse. " But,"
he adds, " the Constitution of the United States im-

poSes on the PRESIDENT the duty of laying before
Coup,ress the condition of the country, in its foreign
and domestic relations, and of recommending such
measures as may, in his opinion, be required by its in-
terests. From the performance of this duty he cannot
be deterred by the fear of wounding the sensibilities of
the people or Government of whom it may become ne-
cessary to speak ; and the American people are inca-
pable of submitting to an interference, by any Govern-
ment on earth, however powerful, with the free Perform-
ance of the domestic duties which the Constitution has
imposed on their public functionaries. Ile discus-
sions which intervene between the several departments
of our Government belong to ourselves, and for any-
thing said in them, our public servants are only re-
sponsible to their own constituents and to each
other. If, in the course of their consultations, facts
are erroneously stated, or unjust deductions are made,
they require no other inducement to correct them,
however informed of their error, than their love of
justice, and what is due to their own character ; but
they can never submit to be interrogated upon the
'subject as a matter of right by a foreign Power. When
our discussions terminate in acts, our responsibility to
foreign Powers commences, not as individuals, but
as a nation. The principle which calls in question
the President for the language of .his Message would.
equally justify a foreign Power in demanding
explanation of the language used in the report of a Com-
mittee, or by a Member in debate." And in a subsequent
passage he says emphatically :--"' In any event, how-
ever, the principle involved in the new aspect which
has been given to the controversy, is so vitally impor-
tant to the independent administration of the Govern-
ment, that it can neither be surrendered nor compro-
mised without national degradation. I hope it is un-
necessary for me to say, that such a sacrifice will not
be made through any agency of mine. The honour of
my country shall never be stained by an apology from
me, for the statement of truth and the performance of
duty ; nor can I give >3►hy explanation of my official
acts, except such as is due to integrity and justice, and
consistent with the principles on which our institutions
have been framed." This language will, we trust,
satisfy France that her demand of satisfaction ought to
be instantly withdrawn, as it was made in total igno-
rance of the principles upon which the American
Republic is founded. Now no Government has a
right to make any demand inconsistent with the prin-
ciples
upon which other Governments are based ; in-
asmuch as such demands are direct attacks upon the
Constitutions of Foreign States. France complains
that she has been insulted by America. America an-
swers that nothing was more remote from her inten-
tions than to menace, insult, or in any way offend
France. The offended Power declares she must have
an explanation of the phrases at which she has taken
umbrage ; and America replies that, under the cir-
cumstances, they were such as her Constitution put
into her mouth in addressing her own people ; and
again reiterates her assurances to France that no in-
sult was intended to her. At this point all differences
ought to terminate. France has a right to be satisfied
with the explanatians which she has received ; nor can
her national honour prompt the demand for a further
explanation or apology.

There will, however, be no war nor hostilities of any
kind between France and the United States. No
reprisals will be made, and no further interruption will
take place in the friendly relations between the two
Governments. Great Britain has already assumed
the mediatorship, and we entertain no fears of her
being unsuccessful. Some angry discussions may take
place, both in Congress and in the French Chambers ;
but the good sense of the KING, who sees the ques-
tion in the proper light, will enable Lord PAL-
MERSTON to triumph over every obstacle. This
being the case, it is altogether needless to dwell
to greater length on the ungracious theme of
the blame attributable to either party. From
the commencement we failed not to denounce
the fatal impolicy of a war between free States, for a
difference so trivial in all respects ; and now that the
belligerents in expectation are about to shake hands in
amity, far be it from us to throw any obstacle in the
way of their perfect reconciliation.
There are several other important questions discussed
in the PRESIDENT'S Message, for the particulars of
which we must refer to the document itself. That
which most deserves attention is the proposal for or-
ganizing a powerful military force, which, under the
designation of Militia, will serve all the purposes of a
regular standing army..

Application was made to Government some time
ago, by the merchants engaged in the foreign corn
trade, for permission to have, the wheat at present in
bond ground for exportation, in the shape of flour or
biscuit. No decisive answer we believe was given to
this application ; but the parties were given to under-
stand that the main, indeed the only, difficulty in their
way was, the facility with which frauds might be com-
mitted to the prejudice of the agricultural interest.
The only possible way in which the agricultural in-
terest can suffer any injury from the adoption of the
plan proposed, is by the consumption at home of the
manufactured article, and this, it appears to us, may
be provided against by such regulations as are resorted
to in analogous cases. If a holder of foreign wheat
wishes to convert it into flour for exportation, let him

be called upon to find security for the fulfilment of his
contract, before he receives permission to remove his'
wheat from the warehouse where it is lodged. The
quantity of the manufactured commodity to be exported,
in proportion to the quantity released from bond, must
of course depend upon the quality of the grain, the

_ .
productive powers of which must first have been ascer-
tained by experiment. Some such provision as this
might, we think, be adopted with advantage. It seems
a hard case, at all events, that something should not
be done to allow the holders of foreign wheat to find
a market out of the country for an article which is in
its nature so perishable, and on which they must,
under any circumstances, now sustain great loss.

The Moniteur of Monday, which we have re-
ceived with the other Paris Journals of the same date,
contains the following official announcement :--..

" In pursuance of orders from his Court, his Excellency
Lord Granville has proposed to the King's Government, by a
note dated the 25th inst., the mediation of the Government of
his Britannic Majesty upon the occasion of the differences that
have arisen between France and the United States of North
America. The Minister for Foreign Affairs, by an answer
dated the 27th instant, has informed the English Ambassador
that the French Government accedes to the proposition."
We have no longer a doubt as to the amicable ter-
mination of the differences between. France and the
United States.

There is no domestic intelligence in these Journals
of the slightest public importance. The accounts re-
ceived from the North of Spain are not of a later
date than those published in the London Journals of

yesterday.
PARIS, Nov. 28.—The journals of the south, after having
eagerly announced that the Carlists had retired from St. Se-
bastian, now say (as our correspondent has done) that the
sieve continues. We quote a letter from St. Sebastian, in the
Sentinelle, of the 25th From the walls of the citadel, we
perceive three Trincadores before Guetaria. In less than three
hours, thelarrison of that fort fired abov9 60 cannon balls at
