FRENCH INDEMNIrICAT1oN

mud IN the New York Commercial Advertiser of Satur
day evening, letter from Paris dated 18th August
from which we make the following extracts II Globe
am inclined TO the opinion, that the French Go.
vernmen will regard the letter of MIR Livingston as the
required explanation, since Mat letter has reecred e en-
tre appreciation Of The President He asscns 10 the full
declarations of Mr. L. and all his cndeavors to satisfy
the French Minister'S that menace or insult coull
nave been intended in the message This saving all
that reasonable men expect; and it, after all the
French Government do not avail themselves of IL /
support which would be given by our whole country to
the position in which government now stands in the
controversy.

quarrel with Franceor rather the foolish diplomacy of
last year--wl be settled before December Bat tLink

for discaimed insult
FRENCH lNDEMsIFrcATIoN.-We frequently hear in
quries as 10 the effect which MIR. Livingstone letter has
had on the French Governments and as the matter is
one OF interest TO all, think it proper to state for
genera lniornaton that the letter referred to- approred
and ratified by the President of the United States was
taken out In the packet of the 9Th of July and arrived in
avre on the day which the latest packet from that cit

effect which that letter has had upon the French Co.

be deemed fully satisfactory and that the instamens al
