FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
From the Ne,c York .4neriean.

The Etoile contradicts positively the
rumour that the Pope had declined
browning Charles X. unless Avignon
were receded Itdeclares that no such
demand had been made; and moreover,
that the Court Of Rome has no concern
in consecrating the :uonarchs ofFrance;
the Archbishop Of Rheims having al
ways, almost since the days of Clovis,
discharged this august practice. The
exact period of the coronation seems
uncertain. The King had said in his
address to the Chambers, that this ce-
remony should terminate their session.
1t must therefore be contingent, and
will not, it is surmised in the Etoile of
the 9th March, take place before the
18th June.
The Journal des Debats Of the 27th
March, thus commences long edito-
rial article:
"Itis the new world that now furnish
es US the most important news. The
maintenance of peace, and the estab-
hshment Of reasonable and solid gov
ernments, are the two great objects Of
American policycifit be already per-
mitted to talk of an american policy,
such as the Monroes, the Adamses,
and the Bolivars could establish, by mu-
tual understanding and support. But
as it is evident that the United States
should be at the head of this policy, and
that England does not wish to lose her
influence in Brazil, nothing can as yet
be said concerning the intimate nature
of the foreign relations automatically
established from one end to the other
of the New World.
GAN these States agree on two points:
to repel the influence of Spain, and to
live in harmony with each other. But
the real statesmen have yet third prin-
ciple, that of not gratuitously provok-
ing war with the European powers.
"This is the principle which tri-
umphed at the Congress in Washing
ton. The nomination of MIR. Adams
TO the Presidency proves that the majo-
rity Of Congress is opposed TO any of
lensive war, and rejects all schemes of
ACKNOWLEDGMENT to be attained by force
of arms or usurpation. If General
Jackson had succeeded, We should per-
haps have seen the island of Cuba oc-
cupied by an American force, under
the plausible pretext of keeping in
check the pirates whom the Spanish
government of the Havana does not
cease to protect. Under the Presiden-
cy Of MIR. Adams, we may expect mea-
sures not less energetic, but more in
conformity with wise and moderate po-
Icy"
A letter from Geneva published in
the Conititutonnel states, that the Je-
suits and others in France are making
large subscription for the construc-
ton of new church at Ferney, the
former residence of Voltaire; and the
sort Of fury with which this scheme is
pushed, is ascribed to the desire Of
seeing the church already existing there
demolished, because il was built andpre-
sented to The village by Voltaire!
