We have for some tine been in possession of
very curious communications from most res
pcctable quarter in regard to the views Of the
French IN $. America, and the steps they have
taken and are now taking, to realize them -

in stating VIII might have had a most ruiIIous
effect on the fortunes ofm1ividuals, while such
extensive financial operations were in progress.
As ministers too have necessarily extensive
means of Information, VIC could not bring our
selves to believe that they were either not privy
to Che measures of the French government, or
that they would conniye at ant attempts TO dis
tarb the existing state of things in South Alneri-

this subject.

Whatever may be the actual condition OF

is, that IT is beyond recovcry--A great deal OF
mystery respecting lis illness has been observed
OF the part Of lis friends. During his late at
tack, his most intimate friends have not been
admitted TO las presence, because his physicians
had inter.ieicd, as Is said, every thing that
would tend 10 canse excitement, though sctnc
persons believe that by limiting the number oil
visitors, the extent of his danger might the bet
ter he kept secret. His recent illness was
called by paraIy sis, or dropsy in the heart,

change his place of residence, is still confident

iiavcrcconmcnded this course, there is 40 doubt,
