Mr.. Livingston's Arrival from
France.-Although we have no arrival
of packet ships from Europe since our
last, we have an arrival Of fer more
importance, in the person Of our Min
lister to France, Mr.. Livingston, who
arrived with his family in the United
S>states Fsigate Constitution, last Mon
day evening, at the port ofN. York.
We understand that Mr.. Livingston's
arrival in this city is hourly expected.
On the great question which now agi.
tates the country, "Peace or War with
France z" it would certainly be pre-
sumptuous in US 10 decide. We can.
not however avoid reitersting our form
er opinion that our pacific relations
will be maintained /; and in aid of that
opinion, we subioin the following re-
mark, by the New York Journal of
Commerce, which will command gen.
eral attention.
'sSVe are glad to learn from the con.
rersotion Of Mr.. LIVINGSTON, that
his return to the United States is not
to be taken as an euit omen. Among
the reasons for it, is the desire TO put
the President in possession of his views,
more fully than be could well do by
letter. He has not perceived among
the People, or in the Government of
France, any hostile disposition towards
US. On the whole, we find nothing to
shake our often expressed confidence,
that oar affairs Nth France ,oiH be
brought to a satist actory and friendly
issue. Mr.. Livingston will soon re.
pair to Washington, and no doubt
Government will in some way put the
people in possession of the impressions
made by his statements"

announce the arrival OF MIR. LIVING.
