act with deliberate caution; an0 we Deceive
that the controversy might soor be setted
without either dishonoring our nation or
shedding a drop of blood.
We give the following extracts from
Paris papers, which will give our readers
an idea of the state Of feeling eS sting there
on the subject:
PARIS, Nov. 10.-The Messenger says.
1.-THE Charge d. Affairs of the U, States
Of America having demanded his passports,
received them yesterday morning at ten
o'clock, and Immediately after ordered pre-
paratons to be made for his departure on
Saturday. All the papers Of the Legation
had before been sent off to the U. States.
and persons well informed of he state of
things say, that the period of the arriva
of the vessel that is conveying them, will
determine the tone the Presidents Mes
sage at the opening Of Congress. If these
documents arrive IN time, Gen Jackson
will throw out fire and flames against the
French Government, whom il will accuse
of the infractlon of treaties; in the contra
ry case, he will merely announce to Com
gress that he is waiting for the answer 10
the note delivered by his orders to the Ca,
bnet Of the Tulllerles."
PARIS, Nov. Is.
[ The Courier Francois says that some
citizens Of the United States assure it that
the President cannot grant letters of mar.
que without permission of Congress: and
that, as to the issuing declaration of nous
intercourse, this also lies with the Con.
gress, not with the President The Con
gress, it Is fully expected, will show itself
worthy of its mission, and there will be no
more proclamation Of war made by it
than public adoption of system of Jact.

PARIS, Nov. l8.
The Temps says:-"It is rumored that
Lord Halmersion has offered the friendly
mediation of England between France and
America, and that his proposal has been
taken into consideration by the council of
Ministers, which has decided that Lord
! Granville should be requested 10 thank the
British Cabinet for its obliging offer. but
says that the Cabinet of France could not
accept it. This decision, perhaps accounts
for the armament preparingrat Brest."
PARIS, Nov. II.

serting," says the National, "that orders
have been issued Tor Citing out naval d.
vision OF IS ships, which will be under the
command of an Admiral and two Rear Ad
mirals; and futher, that the Budget for the
Marine Department to be presented at the

From GaHgnanfS Messenger.
PARIS. Nov IS
We have been led into an error in announ-
cling the departure of Mr.. Barton, the
American Charge d. Affairs. He is s, in
Paris. He has, however, for some time
quilted the Hotel ofthe American Legation
and no longer transacts business in an Off
cal capacity. Mr.. Brent, the Council OF
the United States, now signs passports, and
| preforms the routine of business.
PARIS. 10 Nov.-In a letter addressed
to US by NJ. Levraud Deputo of La Grouse
this honorable citizens reiterateS tie cir
cumslance which accompanied the Discus
sion and adoption of the amendment o.
Gen Nalaz9, IN which his was Incorporated
he deduces from the explanation which
took place at that period That It is not iol
the offence Of an individual, that France
demands reparaton, she expects it from
the Congress and the Senate as well as
from General jackson.
These two bodies may dlsavow the for.
mer message Of President Jackson, and the
new message which he will present tc
them. Should Ihcy on the Other hand
sanction either the one or the other, should
they approve Of the silence OF Cen Jack
son, should they approve the pretended
justice ofreprsas, will the American trea
~ still remain binding will The debate
still exist loaded with interest, !
Mr. Leyrand answers these question in
the negative. According 10 him, the
condition patched to the contract did not
if not complied with, merely suspend it;
1t is 4 positive condition, without which
the treaty is nothing.
The first act Of hosillty-says the hon
orabe deputy, in termlnaling-the frs,
cannon shot should reduce to tatters. both
The treaty and the law which regulates its
execution.
The law was but the settlement of an
uncertain debt, the basis of which was no,
, fixed; 1t is real treaty of alliance between
two countries which national sympalhle:

France did not intend to throw off debt
If she owes ne,by imposing a condition Il
was impossible to comply with, degrading
to a great nation. Mr. Livingston wa'
not sufficiently cool and collected when be
then characterised it.
This condition has its basis in the prln
ciples of the law of nations; in them, can
, dour should find no humiliation. Its non
execution will impose on US duty,
