THE MEDIATION.

The following joke, respecting the mediation, is
to good to be lost 1t is copied from the New York
Herald:
"The facts stripped Of all their diplomacy, are
something like these. His Britannia Majesty has
written an autograph lctter--Gts uutography, how

Sire and Brother, In consequence of the unto
ward scrape iato which you have got with France,
and the probability that you may get at logger
heads-yard arm to yard arm-before you could
drink pint of grog, have taken the liberty to send
from my naval wardrobe, pair of Pantaloons, in
the pockets of which you will find this letter, here
by offering to mediate in your difficulties with
France, and to make you friends again on such
terms honorable men ought to accept. have
no desire to see you and my brother, the king of
France fall to and lick each other No one has n
right to fight the ocean, unless l have hand in
the fray. Besides l doubt whether you know so
much about ships do, and let me tell you, fight
ing the sea is pretty devlish expensive business

would say get our tars into a scrape during the
present reform mania. So you will please to state
by the bearer whether you will accept my media
ton or not Compliments to Van Buren,.
WILLIAM REX.
Palmerston, Secretary.
To this civil note the President replied in the
most courteous terms, accepting the mediation, but
reservng to hmselfthe right to pick quarrel here
after if he chooses. 1t is as follows

instalment shall. be claimed by the Government of
the United States.
The French Government has also stated that it
made this communication to that of Great Britain,
not regarding the British Government as formal
mediator since its Offer of mediation had then reach
ed only the Government of France, by which it had
been accepted but looking upon the British Gov
ernmcnt as common friend Of the two parties, and
therefore, as n natural channel of communication
between them.
The undersigned is further instructed to express
the sincere pleasure which is felt by the British
Government at the prospect thus afforded of an am
icabc termination of difference which has pro-
duced temporary estrangement between two ma
tons who have so many interests in common, and
who are SO entitled to the friendship and esteem OF
each other and the undersigned has also to assure
Mr. Forsyth that it has afforded the British Govern
ment the most lively satisfaction to have been, upon
this occasion, the channel of communication,
which, they trust, will lead to the complete rcstora-
ton of friendly relations between the United States
and France.
The undersigned has great pleasure in renewing
to Mr. Forsyth the assurances of his most distin-
puishcd consideration.
