We are determined on acting with the most perfect prudence in our foreign relations. War has terrible chances We trust the triumph oi lib crfy will not require waste of blood and trea- sure which is incalcuabe; but France, al all events. is decided not to suffer the violation of the principle of non nterventlon--( (bfavo.) II war be unavoidable, 1t must be proved 10 the world that we have not sought for It, and that it was only when we were placed between war and derelctonof our principles that we ac- cepted if. We shall continue to negotiate, but wewill arm at the same time. Our negotiations shall be supported by 5GU GG9 soldiers, ell equi- ped. well ofiicered, and by a reserve of one mil lion of National Guards; and, If circumstances required it. the King himself would place hin- self at the head of the natioll-( (bravo cries of .Nive le Roi,'' "Yive h liberte4, II nom tcmpests gather at tine sight of the three coiors, so much the worse for those who have let them loose; we shall not be responsible for the conse quences in the eye of the world. NI. Lantte then recapitalated. the immense financial re sources of France to carry on the war. lie still persisted in saying that peace was more proba- ble than war. When France and England (continued he) wish for peace-when other great powersare anxious for it--how can a war, ] ask, be anticipated.

 Marshal Soult, Minister of War, then came forwardto callforthe puttnginto actlyeserviceof eighty thousand men of the class oI conscripts of lS30.

 The London Herald of the 4tb, ina para graph dated the evening previous; says,
 "Nothing has been talked of in the City to- say bnt the important speech of M. Latitte, which the Herald of this Morning gave e1cia- sively in n second edition. Opinion is divided as 10 whether the speech indicates var. but ev- cry one appears to think that France has spo- ken in language worthy of herselI-worthy Of her greatness--of her glory--of aer renown.

 Paris, Dec. 3.-!luglaad now ad.nires that liberty in Us against which she formerly fought. She sslbscfihes to tie revolution of three days, and initiates t by dsmissing Wellington. The policy of the Government must now fellow the public sentiment. The support of England, therefore, will not be given to the Powers which may dare to attack us. They will have only their own strength-ther own wealth--and though strong inlSIt. they arc now buydened Win leals aad taxes, which are so many chances for reEoluton Absolute Kings must see that the spirit of t!scir people has changed. I'ke revelation Of France has carried forward the hun}a mind beyond the knowledge of the ab- solase Ssvereigns. If some rash Princes dare fo attack France, France may call to its sue eonr all the storms which lie in the bosom of Flu rope, ready to burst forth. She will go into tic field of battle with the standards of liber- ". and the soldiers of the absolute Monarchs will not again behold without affection the flag of mankind.
