IMPORTANT FROM FRANCE.
The New York Courier and Enquirer
containing extracts from London and Pa
ris journals up to the nth ult., was re-
ceiyed yesterday by express.
II appears that the KING of France
has recalled his MINISTER, Mr.. sERu
RlER, and NOTIFIED Mr.. LIVING
sroN THAT HIS PASSPORTS WERE
PREPARED, IN CASE HE SHOULD DE
sIRE THEM
We learn from the same source thai
upon receiving the Presidents message
such was the excitement that the Cham.
beers adjourned. The Monitor gives no
tice that the question ofindemnity woult
be submitted on the next day, to save the
honor of the King who was pledged tt
bring it before the Chambers, and leave:
it to be inferred that it will be rejected
instanser.
The following letter from Paris, is
from the correspondent. OF the London
Morning Post. We copy it from tina,
Journal of the 10th.
Fraace aadthe United States.
PARIS, January IA.
The official publication in the Mon.
sfeur, which | transmit to you by an
extraordinary express, will, I doubt
not, surprise you not less than it has
surprised every individual | have con.
versed with since its appearance. Yes
serday, before the close of the Bourse,
abe report was aaoat that an angry
note, in reply to General Jackson's of.
fensive message to Congress, would be
issued in this mornings Moniteur, but
neither deemed the Presidents Ian.
guage Of nature to elicit such reply,
nor thought tina! any step would be
adopted until the decision of the A.
merican Legislature were known !;
much less did ] anticipate that the re.
call Of the French Minister at Wash
ingtoD, and dismission cfshe American
Envoy at this Court would be coupled
with Tie announcement OF the repro
duction of the Claim Bill into the
House ofDeputies also early period.
These considerations induced me not
10 notice the rumor, and my silence
was justified last night, when was
assured by member of the House OF
Deputies and another individual in
close communication with Ministers,
that, although certain parties in the
Chamber (ncluding sundry bankers,
with M. Theirs, M. de Montalivet, and
Louis Philippe himself, who were sus-
pected Of having long ago bought up
quantity of the American Creanees)
s,renuously urged the Government, to
bring in the bill again, they had as yet
no idea Of venturing onso obnoxious
step.
ITS presentation appears TO have been
the subject of much discussion in the
\ Council last night, and the appear
ance of the Moni,eur's article has, !
can assure you, created much more
disgust than alarm. It's objec. is evi.
Edenlly TO soothe the national pride Of
liza ;eune France, which General jack
Brcn has wounded, and thereby 10 ia
|a1iials the adoption of measure
which they have long been seeking an
opportunity of obtaining without incur
|'ripg the consequences which resulted
last year from its rejection. What
will be the result Of the bill in this new
House it would be difficult 10 predict,
lhough most assusedly Gen. Jackson's
language is much more offensive than
|any Of those incidents that have SO Of
en- excited manifestations Of bitter hos.
| iliy 10 the Northern Powers on the
lasl Of our Legislature. But, whatever
be the issue, be assured that Louis
Philippe has no idea Of any thing more
han bullying sortie, and that it will
not be his faul. if any gunpowder
hould ignite in consequence Of this
aud. To crafty his warlike fellow
;ilizens with an attack on the defence~.
sss capital Of Portugal-with an in
biting Eruption into the territory OF,
he Pope--or the siege Of a citada,
+ hen assured before hand that such
at d'armes may be achieved without
ny risk of its being relieved by d.
srsion--is all very we'll but the time
d moi come when The Citizen King will
seem himself secure enough at home TO

iruggle, which experience enough has
