MORE GERMAN RECRUITS !

It is repotted in Paris that the English Govern-
ment is about to open recruiting offices in several
of the German Principalities, as well as in the
United States, to raise reinforcements for its army
in India.

FRANCE.
PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.

The Monitettr publishes a decree of promulgat-
ing the convention concluded on the 2d July last
between France and the Grand Duchy of Baden,,
for the reciprocal guarantee of the rights of indus-
trial property.

The -Sled e . contains some observations on
the treaty of commerce lately signed between
Russia and France, and expresses its apprehension
that while the terms of• the convention appear to
establish the principle of perfect reciprocitybetween
the two countries, a marked disadvantage will re-
main on the side of French traders from the less
liberal character of the police regulations existing
in Russia. The objections of our contemporary
to the treaty will be found in the following extract :

"The treaty, it executed with good faith on the part
of Russia, is certainly calculated to create a real
commercial connection. It enacts that there shah
be reciprocally full and entire liberty of commerce
and navigation for the vessels and subjects of
the high contracting parties in all
.the ports of
_their respective dominions in which navigation is
at- present, or may hereafter be permitted to the
vessels of any foreign nation. The French in Russia
and the Russians in France, may reciprocally enter,
travel, or sojourn at full liberty in any part whatsoever
of the respective territories, to attend to their affairs-,
and they are to enjoy for their persons and property the
same protection and security as the natives ; they are to
have the power in towns and ports of hiring or possess.
ing such houses, warehouses, shops, and land as they
may require, without being subjected to taxes, general
or local, or obligations of any nature, different from
those which are or may be imposed on natives. Ir.
the same manner they are to enjoy in commercial and
manufacturing matters all the privileges, immuni-
ties, and other favours enjoyed by natives. This
certainly is perfect reciprocity in appearance, but
we fear from the state of civilisation and of the
police in Russia that it wili not secure to the
French who establ sh thegie,elves in that country
any very great security. The convention promises them
ille.sareo treatment as. Russian subjects in Russia. But
how is the Russian commercial class treated, and what
are its privileges? If we are to believe writers en Russia,
the law is not favourable to them always. Now it is said
by the clauses which we have summed up that these sti-
pulations are not to affect in any respect the laws, ordi-
nances, and special regulation's in force with respect to
commerce, manufactures, and police. But Russian re-
gulations, according to the avowal of everybody, are ex
tremely severe. French regulations, on the contrary,
give absolute security to the trader and navigator. All
the advantage is therefore on the silo of the Russians,
and we could have wished that instead of the simple
clause of reciprocity inserted in the treaty, it had been
formally stipulated that the French should enjoy, not
the same treatment as the Russians in Russia, but the
same treatment as the Russians in France."

THE, SPANISEI-MEXICAN QUARREL:

We are at last beginning to get at the truth re-
spec- ing the Spanish-Mexican quarrel, concernig
which so many contradictory statements heve heq
made by the Madrid papers and other foreign
journals. The real state of the case , may be
sketched in few words. The great difficulty, tie
main point of variance between Senor do Lafragaa°.
the Mexican Plenipotentiary, and Senor Pidal, the
Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, was the 11',:
demnity claimed by the latter for the Spaniard
resident in Mexico who had suffered in person,.a_r,
property at the hands of depredatOrs and assegai
at Cuernavaca and elsewhere. The Mexican negf
tiator was willing to agree to such indemnity,
conformity with the laws of nations ; that is to WI
when it Should be proved that his Governul
could be held responsible for the misdeeds of we
armed bands in question. The Spanish Minitite,,
was not content with this, but required that?:
should be at once conceded that an indemnity 144'
due. Neither party being disposed to give gli'
agreement was manifestly impossible. It was thee
that Lord Howden, acting in:accordance with M.
Turgot, strongly urged the Spanish. Government to
accept the friendly intervention of England
&O
France for the settlement of the England
After some hesitation Spain agreed to this:"
on or about July 21. Senora de Lafragn
not having authority from his Governtne.iii
to accept such mediation, communicated
Mexico by the next mail, and by this time Plt
despatches are dOnbtless in the hands of Presidterie
Cornonfort. It will be the end of October be',lo
the reply can be received. 1n the meantirone
matter is in abeyance. • Spain has suspended 110
warlike preparations, and although rumen
0
of probable hostilities have lately reached us IVd
Madrid, these must be, considered as unfounue'e
since, after accepting the good offices of fr3,11.1d

whether Mexico does the same.
