JANUARY Is, 1885.
The Orpheus is just getting under
way. Since writing my last despatc h
to you have letter from Paris, from
confidential source. The recall of
the minister Of France at Washington
was a measure decided upon by the
king and cabinet as retaliatory step for
the menaces Of war contained in the
Presidents message, and in order to
afford an opportunity to Congress TO
disciaim any intention of issuing letters
OF marque and reprisal against France,
while the treaty remained incomplete,
IN consequence Of the Chambers not
having acted upon it. The passports
to MIR. Livingston, and his departure
from France, is the necessary conse-
qucnce of the recall Of NJ. Scrrurier :;
but ChUge II .Afd'res remains in Pa
ms. II is confidently believed that the
Chambers will pass the indemnity law,
certainly for fifteen millions, proba-
bly, the whole amount, on the ground
that the honor Of France requires the
fulfilment Of the treaty before any steps
are taken of hostile character towards
the United States. A very warm and
passionate debate will, no doubt, en-
sue.
General Bernard is incessant in his
efforts to terminate the affair TRANQUIL
ly. and apPease the feelings Of the
French people, much exasperated, as
they are, by the impolitic threats Of the
American President. He every where
represents, on the Bourse and in the
Tuillencs, that Congress will not, by
any act, sanction the language Of the
President, and that while the Amer.
can people are DESTROYS of obtaining
the amount or indemnity, they have no
idea Of war.
| hope that your Congress will be
discreet in this matter. II is not in The
habit Of brother Jonathan 10 rush into
a costly contest, without calculating
what Is to be made or lost by il. A
little address and management-a little
playing of and negotiation would
have succeeded much better with a
people so hot as the French, than
threats Of war. AT all events, YOU will
perceive that certain English journals,
Of the tory stamp, are chuckling at the
idea Of a war, and endeavor TO widen
the breach and increase the irritation,
by pretending to have sympaihies for
the injustice done 10 America.
My opinion is, that the money will
be paid, especially IL the action in Ell
Their branch Of Congress shall discoun-
tenance the warmth contained in the
speech Of the American President"
