TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 31, 1835.

The Liverpool American packets have, during the late
northerly and easterly winds, been considerably longer
on their passage than those of London. We have re-
ceived ouc regular files from New York, but they con-
tain nothing later than what appeared in the London
journals of nearly a week ago. The letters of Mr. LI-
VINGSTON, the representative of the United States at
the French Court, to the minister at Washington, are
perfectly unique as, specimens of diplomatic correspon-
dence. The subject of the correspondence is, of course,
the five millions of dollars alleged to be due to Amerie-a
by France. Indeed, what else could he have written
about? It. has been the only topic of discussion in the
political world of the republic for the last four months.
There is not a single letter which comes from New York
which has not a word to spare for, if not a considerable
slap at, the dollars. "Are the dollars to be paid?" asks
an anxious correspondent who in general confines his
inquiries to cotton. " What about our claims?" asks
another, who never had a claim upon England for any
thing but tobacco. "Must we go to war about the five
millions Y" inquires a third, in an important postscript,
which he had broken the first seal of his letter to write.
In short, this dollar war of the imagination is the only
.subject of interest or conversation.
We are not surprised, then, at seeing the correspon-
dence of the American envoy engrossed with it. But
notwithstanding his natural anxiety on so important a
question, involving one of peace or war, the honour and
interests of America, and an expenditure,
.in hard dol-
lars, of a sum of money an hundred.tirnes the amount of
the sum in dispute, still we are glad to observe thit4lr.
LIVINGSTON has a thought to spare'on national econoin'y
and other domestic matters. In his letter to the •Secre-
tary of State, and which is published for the benefit of
the ncion, be writes as follows, eery word of which
is worth a king's ransom, and Which Mr. JosEPll HUME
ought to have engraved on brass and suspended from the
walls of his breakfast parlour :

Mr. Livingston to Mr. Forsyth-
' LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES.
Paris, 11th January, 1835.
Hon. John Forsyth:
Sir,—Believing that it would be important for me to receive
the dispatches you might think it necessary to send with the
president's message, I ventured on incurring the expense of a
courier to bring it to me as soon as it should arrivs at Havre.

Only think of that, Master JOSEPH HumE! " Ventured
on incurring the expense of a courier" I Let us see—
how much might be the important outlay ? An ostler,
mounted on a Norman cob, changed seven times on the
journey, might trot from Havre to Paris in ten bolus,
and gallop in six hours, the expense thereof, in either
case, not exceeding three pounds fifteen shillings, English'
money, including ten fraAcs to the garcon: We can
understand from this how extensive was the risk which
the ambassador ventured upon. No wonder that, due
mention is made of the circumstance in his official
despatches, because how else could ills extraordinary ex-
yenditure have been accounted for ? It is of first rate
concernment that the citizens of America should know
that their Paris envoy, entrusted with the negociations
relative to the five millions of dollars, bad gone the
extreme length of spending three pounds fifteen shillings
upon a courier I

These despatches, the same letter in fact, contain some
other curious and extremely delightful episodes. The
following is one
:—*-
"The only letter I have received from home is one from my
family. This, .to my great satisfaction, informs me that the
president will be supported by ail parties, and Jam told that
this is the language of saute of the opposition papers, but at they
are not sent to the legation 1 cannot tell in what degree this sup-
port can be depended upon."

The dignity and the easy familiarity displayed in the
above passage are inimitable: The solemn grandeur
and the monotonous gravity of a state paper and an
official document are relieved. by-the interesting allusion
to family affairs. It evinces refined taste, and the most
admirable condescension, when the envoy informs his
government that he has received is 'letter from aunt
SusA $ or uncle BEN, and that she or he assure him
Nk.
that the President will be "supported by all parties."
But it possesses diplomatic virtues of another kind.
The ambassador complains that none of the opposition
papers are forwaided to the legation at Paris. Does
this arise from negligence or spleen, or is it simply
economy ? It is, at any rate, extremely illiberal on the
part of General JACKSON'S executive, and we hope, now
that Mr. LIVINGSTON has called attention to it in his
important despatches, that the evil will be remedied.

The question to be debated, if not decided, last night
in the House of Commons involves principles of far
greater importance than is discernible at a single glance.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL was to move that the house re-
solve itself into committee, " for the purpose of consider-
ing the expediency of applying any surplus revenue .of
the Church of Ireland, which may not be required for
the spiritual wants of the members of that church, la-
the religious and MORAL instruction of all classes of
the community."
The tortuous and 'disingenuous mode by which it ixj•'-
pioposed to ledtbe botise to the adoption of this mo-
tion is worthy only Of. its propounder and- his party.. rt
is framed for the purpose of netting as many votes as
possible upon a subject of paramount interest, and the
object of it. is try the strength of parties, and em-
barrass Ili, majesty's ministers. If the house be induced
to place a resolution of this nature on its books, Sir
ROBERT PEEL will.be placed in this' dilemma—he must
either carry on the government with a millstone about
his neck, under the weight of which he must sink event'
ually, or he must recognise a principle which he and his
party, including Lord STANLEY. and his adherents, ha
