Now 7. 1t will be perceived from the para
graphs which we copy below, that Mr.. Bar
ton, our Charge d'Affaires at Paris, had made
preparations for leaving the country, but for
reasons not clearly explained, he had not
left. 1t does not appear to us that in the
present state of the affair." is of the least con-
sequence whether Mr. Barton leaves France
or not. 1t depends upon the Interpretation
which the French government give to the
Presidents Message, what course they will
pursue in relation to the execution of the
treaty, and it cannot be doubted that whether
Mr. Barton leave France or not, our govern.

Mr.. Barton was going to set out for Havre,
To embark on board the ship Poland, when an
unexpected incident retarded his departure
for few days. We know not whether this

Extract of a letter dated Port st. Mary,
Oct. I6:-"We have all been mistaken in our
estimate of the influence of the friars over
the multitude; every one, expected nothing
short of a popular connection as the conse-
quence of meddling with them, whereas the
very reverse has taken place. Not voice
was raised in their favor in Seville; the diff
Guilty of the government was to prevent the
mob from plundering the converts, therefore
the friars left them. In Cordova they did rob
the churches. In Bornos the populace broke
into the gardens of the converts, and carried
off the fruit and vegetables before the friars
turned out. The last hopes of the nations
now rest on Mendizabal-hs proceeding s
hitherto are judicious; he has commenced
with what ought to have been done at the ont
set-putting the extreme popular feeling into
action. lfthey give him fair play, that is, il
they leave him free agent for six months
