FRENCH MINISTER AT WASHINGTON rs RECALLED, And
THE AMERICAN MINISTER AT PARIS HAS BEEN oFFI-
gcrALLY INFORMED THAT HIS PASSPORTS AWAITED HIM,
THAT rs,
HE HAS BEEN ORDERED TO LEAVE
FRANCE
Of course whatever pacific or partizan spirit may
have actuated the opposition in national legis-
laurc it can no longer operate to prevent taxi
ing the course proper TO us as AMERICANS.
There can be but one sentiment NOW.
From the London True Sun, Jan. I6-Evening.
The Monteur of Wednesday, which reached MS
this morning, officially announces the recall of M.
Serurrier the French Minister at Washington. 1t
further states that the French Minister of Foreign
fairs, having made known this proceeding to Mr..
Livingston, the American Minister at Paris, intma-
ted to him. the same time, "that the passports he
may need in consequence of this communication,
were at his disposal. The American Minister of
course very readily accepted the challenge, if such
it can be called, after the concession which accom-
panies it. Under the official rubric, announ-
cling the rupture of the political relations between
the two states, the significant intimaton is given
that sin execution of the engagements entered into by
France the project of law relative to the American
claims will be presented tomorrow, w ednesday) to
the Chamber of Deputies. " Notwithstanding this
savo, the plain dealing republican took the intima
on about the passports in its literal sense, and,
without condescending to enter into further explain
ations, adopted immediate measures for quitting the
French capitol and territory with little delay as
possible.
In this view, as an American vessel might not be
ready at any of the outports he marked his route at
onc for nd 4 is true ba tba fret
cretary of the Legation in the capacity of Charged
1faires, behind him but sce are persuaded that this
is the effect of mutual arrangement, IN which the
French cabinet and not the american minister took
the initiative These sturdy republicans have sing
ular knack OF tearing to pieces the web of arfu
and tortuous diplomacy We easily figure to
our selves the astonishment of De Rigny when he
saw that the American, instead of making single
effort sooth the wounded vanity of his government,
took him at his word and, for aught we know, the
project of law, respecting the American claims, may
be as much due to the dignfed conduct of Mr..
Livingston, to sense of Justice on the part of the
Cabinet of the Tulleries.
However, the question is now, whether the Ame-
rcan President will be satisfied with so ady an act
of Justice, after the alfront which accompanies it,
If he is, we his conduct will be the effect
of sheer magnanimity-a noble desire not to endan-
gerthc general principle of good government by Wis.,
tng a gallant people the sins of its worthless
rulers.-It isworhy ofremark, the time, that
the first display of energy exhibited by the Citizen
King, has been made towards people who excel all
others in the love and practice of liberty, and whose
unexamped prosperity is aquite conclusive proof of
its woodworking influence. Louis PHILIPPE has
not been tenacious of his own honor, of that OF
the French nation, in the frequent rebuts he has met
with from the great military and despotic powers
All his pugnacty is reserved for free States but
towards the despotc Powers he has too much SYM
pathy with hem,too great desire to be one ofthem
to mind few cuffs. Ofthis, however, he may be
assured, that the straight forwardness of Jackson vii
prove an overmatch for all his cunning.
