New York Papers from the 10th to the l'
December have been received. The America°.
not appear at all disposed to sanction a war
or
France; and it is the opinion of the Stated Jo

nalists that every proposition to that effect ivn-
ol(1
rejected in Congress. The following is the re%loot
returns for the last three years :
