ing, does not conceal his dsapprobation OF a
rupture, and in the event OF his succeeding
general Jackson, will agree to some arrange
ment equally coniormsble 10 the interests OF
the United States and TIE dignity Of France.
The presidential elections will commence IN
March; tits not probable that the American
government will come To any determination
before that time. Should general Jackson
think proper to recgl his charge d'aaaires,
France will in turn recall her own, and await
the result. Such is the position IN which she
is placed by the vote Of the Chambers"
The other paragraph we have found in the
Gazette de France Of the ooh. 1t is some
what obscure, but our readers can make as
much of it as ourselves. 1t is quoted by the
Gazette from the Nationo, and forms part Of
an article commenting upon that above trans
lated from the Journal des Debats.
"This may be taken as positive information
of the REGAL Of the American charge d'afiaircs
"a fact hich we stated several days ago.
But Is this the only step that may be taken
BY General Jackson within the limits Of his
power ard responsibilities
The National then goes on arguing at con-
siderable length and with much force, to show
that the American government has done all
that can be required of it, and that no expla-
nation can OF ought to be made by it to
that of France. The whole article in the Ma
tional is interesting, but we have not time for
it to-day-we must con6ne our translations
to the first paragraph quoted above, and the
last, which is as follows.
Congress has but one constitutional means
of amending the opinion Of the president,
which is, not to vote the measures he propos-
es. Has not this been done? Has not the
congress declared that it was not expedient
to take into consideration the measures re-
commended by the PRESIDENT What other
satisfaction could our government desire?-
The amendment fgeneral Ialaze, an demand
ing something more, has bit attached an i'm
possibility 10 the rOte Of the chamber, and as
that rois ,oas a disgracsfa one, zoe have ,oih
pleasure seen IL rirtuai!y ann,dled By an absurd
amendment; nlopted By those ,cho believed the
twenty-five millions 10 be actually due"
The .EoaiteW du Commerce is of opinion
that the approaching election Of a new presi-
dent, and new session of the congress, are
the only causes Of any delay that has occur
red on the part of the United States, in max
ing the explanations, which cannot be refus-
ed
The Courier Emcais observes, 'that ex-
plantations are refused on the part Of the u
nted States to the French Government, but
that the Bill of Non-i intercourse has not yet
been threatened. Every body at Washing
ton knows that nothing dehnitve in this mat
hn nf a
French chambers to the decision Of congress
is known. Gen. Jackson will not add the fol-
ly of a hasty rupture to the other mistakes he
has made, at time when it is probable that
the new congress will not be SO favorably
disposed toward him as the last Besides,
the moment for rupture with France would
be singularly illc hosen, for it would entail the
ruin of considerable portion of the COM
merce Of America; and that, too, when the
banks of the states are in a state ofuncertain-
~, and bankruptcies are imminent; and when
the slavery question renders any farther adj
dition to the cause of internal dis, entlon high
ly dangerous. 1t appears certain, too, that
many Americans do not seriously expect the
repayment of the IS millions; for, during the
last summer, shares, belonging 10 this fund,
we're sold at New York and Philadelphia at
low prices"
A succession of entertainments had been
given at the Tuileries, on account of the visit
of the Belgian king and queen, at which, as
we perceive in the Debnts, all the diplomatic
personages III Paris were present, ercept Mr..
Baion. This may have been accidental, but
looks like a symptom.
The following is from the Gazette de France
of the 2Sth:-
yesterday a long conference was held be-
ween the minister Of the finances NJ. HUI
mann) and the duke de Broglie, after visit
by the charge des affaires Of the United
States to tho latter. 1t is affirmed that NJ.
Human is more than, ever determined to
make no payment without full and complete
satisfaction"
