ton of the constitutional powers; we, neverthe,,
iess acutelv feel a language to which it would |
be easy to answer, if we wished to return re-
membrance for remembrance threat for threat.
France has rarely had her honor called IN |
onestion. nor is that the only quality which is |
now denied TO her. AS the American question
now stands, it calls for the most Serious medta-
ton. The treaty itself is neither less just nor
less polite than it was before but question OF
dignity complicates the political question. The
Government will doubtless view the matter IN
its two-fold light and will endeavor to concl-
late the national honor with the faith OF treatleS
The Temps considers that the dispute be-
tween France and America is not OF a nature 10
bring about a collision whose consequence
would be equally fatal to the people OF ooth
countries. 1t is said that an understanding eX
lists between the three powers of the American
states, to the effect that the Chamber of Repre-
sentdtives will make the grant necessary lor
the hostile measures projected by fresiueht
Jackson which the Senate will reject; and mat
all will be known in Paris in time tor the trench
Chamber to vote the % millions, under the I'M
preston fthat rejection. This Is all very "eli'
but such plan to produce effect ought to re-
main secret The Union it appears has its des-
pot, who although temporary is no less aoso-
iute. His Government and his Chambers have
already arrived at playing diplomatic comedy.
Translations from Hare Journals OF l2th Jan.
We expected with great anxiety, the moment
when we could know the effect produced IN IA
ris by the message ofthe President OF the Unit
cd States.
This moment is come, and the effect OF the
messag e has been of little effect in Paris. The

his menaces Of hostilities appeared TOO weak 10

The Courier Francois says:-"A remarka-
BILE regularity in the Presidents Message, is that
he does not appear to admit that the French Go
vernment met with an insurmountable obstacle
in the refusal of the Chamber The President
imputes TO the will of Ministers alone the nom
execution of the ratified treaty. without taking
into account that the constitution grants to the
Chamber veto upon all pecunlary stpuiatlons
of the Government, whether resulting from DIP
lomatic treaties or private arrangements.
From. the Paris Journal (noderate) LIE Temps
A proclamation of unexpected violence has
reached us from across the Atlantic. III is the
chief of pretended liberal republic, who adj
dresses it 10 France. liberal and just.
1t is to be regretted that General Jackson has
prejudged in tone prematurely hostile, the con-
clusion of question which he knows must be
submitted by us to a new legislature.
| Setting aside the rights of the United States,
| and the delays of which they pretend to have
right to complain, there Isl in this affair OF the
25 millions to which they lay claim, question
of cons titutional law, which ought to nave peen
better understood and appreciated by the chief
of a state, governed by the most rigorous con-
Sttutional principles.
Notwithstanding some declamatory precau-
tons against the language being construed into
an intention to intmidate France, 1t is too clear
that i'm this affair, General Jackson has shown
himself similar to what he has been in his diff
culties with the Bank-that is to say-an AFRO
gan logician and sef-willed patriot.
France need not be uneasy about these bra
vadoes, which certain private interests nave no
doubt dictated, particularly as these interests
are not circumscrbed by the limits OF the Union,
and it would not be diicultto designate that cor
ner of Paris. from which may have PROCEEDED,
the advice followed by the writer's of the mes
sage.
We PREJUDICE in no way the manner in which
this delicate question will be considered oy the
French Chambers We are persuaded that
where the honor and dignity the whole coun-
try is concerned, neither its representatives nor
the Government ITSELF will ever require any i'm
pulse to stimulate it to action. 1t is only 10 De
regretted anew, that the whole ministry dld not
accept the proposal Of M. de Broglie, and make
room for a new cabinet better calculated TO
bring the question Of the United States and ma
ny others to a solution.
Private Correspondence of the Journal du Hare.
A great parsonage wished to profit by the
kind Of panic produced by the Message OF the
President of the United States, to present the
law for the 25 millions; but ministers, who have
so many other causes Of embarrassment, made
objections to it, and probably the law in ques-
ton will be adjourned until after the TALL OF the
present cabinet.
