FRENCH RELATIONS.

Ii is very certain that the controversy between
the ned States and France is not scttlcd-and
it is much to be apprchendcd that it will not be
without blows. The Washington GioJc, which
seems to speak " by the card in an article ami
madycrting upon declaration contained in Il re-
cent letter fudge White, that the result of that
question had proved the correctness Of his on
the Three Million Bill, says:
But leJudge SAYS, that the result proves that
he was right. How ! Is the controversy with France
settled We believe not. The French Cham
bcrs, in appropriatine the indemnify, required cN-
plantations. Does Judge White believe that the
President will make further explanations liz
cannot"
This is pretty emphatic language, to be used
BIZ the editor of Journal, who is known to be in
habits of familiar and confidential intercourse with
the President.
The New York Courier has the following para
graph in relation to this subject:
ave have been informed on what we believe
is good authority, that NJ Pageo, the Frcnc,
Charged Ailarcs at Washington had caused an in
tmation to be made TO the rrcsdent--probahly by
direction of his goycrnment--tlIat simple official
communication of the presidents approval of the
last letter of Mr.. Livingston to the French Co
vernmcnt, would be received by them "A suni-
cicnt compliance with the conditions on which the
money is TO be paid, but that the president, with
his usual emphasis of language had positively re-
fused to allow this to be done"
We hope there is no foundation for the facts de-
tailed in the foregoing paragraphs for, while we
shall be as much opposed as any one to any thing
like the tender Of an humiAating 0pologg to the
the French GOVERNMENT, we can see not the slight
est improperly but, rather, the highest proprIciy
in the recognition, by the President OF the acts OF
his Minister. If Mr.. Livingston It'd not transcend
in his last letter to the French at the pow
crs conferred on him, rs VIC presume he did not,
from the uneauivocal approval which was bcsto" ed
upon his course, after his return home, by the Pre-
sident, what possible objection can the President
have to say to tho French government what it has
already said to that gentleman himself, that the
contents of that letter here now approved by him!
Again; the Courier dcs Etats Unis, e. French
journal,) published IN New York. says:
ave know from GOOD authority that the letter
of Mr. Livingston has been considered in an UNI
favorable light by the French Cabinet, and that
the ministers say quite publicly that their minds
are made up on this question, and that they are
prepared for the worst"
Bc,wccnhe pride and obstinac> OF the two Cab
inets, on mere question of etiquette, we should
not be surprised to see the American and
French nations involved in destructive war.
Ridiculous as such pnncousncss is in individuals,
it becomes criminal when many and such great
interests are hazarded for mere triilcs We hope
that the good sense oftho people OF both countries
will intcrpose salulary check upon the indscre-
ton and pride of their rnlers.

Cotton in the hand, Of the SpinncrS and Dealers
in the manufacturing districts must have been d.
minished to the extent Of Sc, 900 balcS and it is
understood that their stocks annually exhausted
strong nviction prevails, that they must either
resume their purchases of Cotton on larger scale,
or lessen their production of Yarns and Goods.
In the last ten days there has been an increased
demand for cotton, which has been freely met by
the holders, and the sales Of the last week amoun-

THE WARM TOUCH OF A
BEAUTIFUL HAND.

We extract the following from a new American
novel entitled 'ZOe, the Scilian Sayda, Those
who have ever had the good, or as our bachelor
friends would say, the bad fortune be IN lore will
acknowledge its beauty and its truth:
"There is scarcely in the whole scope of our en-
Ijoyment-it is a bold, bold assertion but, oh how
true Ia sensation more delightful than that arising
from the warm touch of hand. Its very decacy
and weakness, it gides into the more manly
grasp, is fit emblem of the just confidence the
female heart is desrous to bestow upon its des-
tined protector: and whilst the nerves thrill over the
soft fingers and the electricity of passion is firing
every vein whilst spirit richer and more refined
than thought itself, utters in the bosom, how the
heart seems striving to expand itself into that
uterable ecstacy of being seldom felt so impossi-
bic to be described.
Reader, if like myself, thou hast slipped over the
mature age of thirty, invoke, pray thee, the aid of
memory: and let her recall in moonlight fitfuness
the scenes of thy courtship-thy April mornings of
hope and fear of love, joy, and passion ?Le those
visions of bliss again rise in shadowy review like the
springng afresh of rainbow fountain, thou wilt
own that, whether amidst the uxures of art screen
ed by friendly shade from often strict scrutiny
of the brilliant chandelier, in the solitude of
lures untmed NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. lulled by the
subdulng serenity of IA summers or reveng in
the babel voices of the merry sleigh bells if thou
couldst but win the confidence of her thou lovdst,
seemingly unconscious it had escaped her maiden
ly keeping she would trust her mid hand in thine,
thy thoughts flooded with delight thy very bo-
som glowed with generous rapture. Oh how thou
then swore the heart of hearts Ia vow holy,
more pure than that of the altar,) to protect, to
comfort her-to minister to her joys be her stead
fast friend, her guide, her all in all If thou ddst
not thou vert no loverl
Perchance, with the soft "reminiscences of stolen
glances (the first effect of unfedged lovc,) timid
speeches and ardent VOWS, comes the witherng
thought of faith broken, looks esranged, and vows
forgotten the cold countenance, the naughty an
swer, the disdained smile. Alas memory is too
faithful witness, and when called to bear tcstimo
to the dearest pleasures of" Lang Sync" dare even
there be cross-examned."
