 as ali our policy with foreign Goveyns,la an3 { IS regulated by law, itwas not over ,a1len's ,aa { iul to the Legislative branch of tbs bs'EscI' e' ernment. But it was tolerably we'll II s',l 10ys \, fled, by other expressions in the r Ma'p quall;' more conciliatory; and probably Sssass nroal at Paris nothing more serious than p.'ulced l of the shoulders, by which Franos' lu'u4 4 often says good deal, without onenna u'',a4 lips. The great evil of the sentiment S.a lls tectly just and sound in the proper nIl"a lp'lt was, that it gave a very bad tone m f,'SeI 7" S Administration press, in reference to ul9 lofelgh felations. Ueneral Jackson's nam { was 10 strike terror into the Monarch sH'2 Europe. When the hero of New sus Cs II
 was spoken of, the mothers in Paris a. waaS to clasp their infants to their bosom, "'' They had stood the shock of Blucbar the Cossacks parading their streets hnt :, the name of General Jackson, from o'l s Y yond the ocean, they were ready to ;DD J
 into the Seine. When the treaty arr;sa1 3al
 negotiated under the circumstances mss
 toned above, the indiscretion of tbe sl ministration party knew no bounds Rs sides heaping Mir. Rives with the m0,,| undeserved compliments, and boastinp tbs,8 he had wrung the idst cent out of the Doo'H intimidated or beguiled French, 1t was b.ll| up as new proof of the terror jnsnrsd by General Jackson's name. He wonaa submit to nothing wrong.
 He was not to be played with, as mn, James Madison, and James Monroe and John Quincy Adams had been. Gepe,,l1 Jackson himself spoke Of the treaty to t,on gross, as "an admoa;tion to other Power, M If any there were, which refused to do us justice; and though his own language, win this exception, was guarded and cautious the Official Journal and the Admnstrai0a presses kept no terms. For the poor grat.22 ification of party feeling, towards Messy, Adams and Clay, their administration was held up as an object of contempt and dis. regard to foreign countries, eontrasted vithI the terors inspired by the glorious name and warlike renown of Gen Jackson-l This was toe much for the French. Asl Colonel Crockett says. sthey could not stand it." 4 little sore at the military re. verses that accompanied the downfall of Napoleon, and not little proud of having marched in triumph under his banners, over two-thirds of Europe, they were gall ed to the quick by the taunts of the Ad.H ministration press. They had felt, to their sorrow, how much their own hero had cOsi them: and now to be told that the very name of foreign hero had frightened them out of five millions of dollars, was rafder E too much for highminded men, who had seen half the sovereigns of Europe dan eing attendance in Napoleon's anti-cham- Der. The consequence was natural
 The American treaty became perfectly Cd'EE ous. To lose their money, and 10 be in. suited besides, was more than they bar gained for. Ifthey were to be stigmatlzd at all events, as paying 1t on compulsloA they concluded to wait awhile. and see how the thing stood.
 This is the short and long of the affair. The claim is just; and France is just and for that reason 1t will be paid. France will not be bullied into 1t; and to showlha' she will not, she will never pay the clam' till the tone of the official press is altered, and probably not till change oi the Na tional Administration.
