PARIS, Nov. Is, 1911.
We cannot yet determine what success
will attend Mr.. BarIow's mission to this coun-
try; all we know is, that his reception from
the first moment of his arrival, has been SO
very flatterng, that many have augured happy
results which the French nation, particularly
the commercial part, as eagerly expect and
wish as ourselves. &
Mr.. Barlow's audience with the Emperor
was very distinguished and of course high
ly pleasing to all our countrymen in this city.
Instead of crouding in with the diplomatic
corps at public audience, particular, day
was appointed for his reception, when he was
conducted from Paris to the hall Of Ambassa-
doris in the Palace Of St Cloud. Here he was
visited and complmented by the Duke of Bas-
sano, Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Count
Segur, Grand Master of Ceremonies, who ac-
companied him to the door of the Emperor's
Cabinet, where he was received and present.
ed by the Prince Arch Chancellor in presence
of the Grand Uignitaries of the Empire. The
address Of Mr.. Barlow and Napoleon's answer
| enclose you. The Parisians are charmed
with this debut of our minister, and say that
we have sent them second Franklin.
The commercial part OF the communications
Mr. Barlow has already made to this govern
ment, appear to have been submitted to
council of commerce, at which the emperor
presided wish they may induce him to
change his system, of which, however, have
no great hopes. Perhaps some modification
may be had in our favor, but what will they
avail while England captures every thing
bound to The continent under eur flag.
1t has unfortunately happened, know not
how, that the letter containing Mr.. Barlow's
address TO the Emperor has not come to hand:
the following is his reply Dem. Press.
"la am happy to receive minister plenipo-
Tertiary from the United States, particularly so
distinguished a gentleman whose opinions are
SO we'll known to me- Make the English re-
spect your flag and you will obtain every thing
you wish from me-"
