with mathematical precision the opinion. OF
our Exchange.
Several merchants having asked the In
suuance Companies to- name a pretnfun a.
eains war with America, the Insurers
named 3 percent: this premium appearing
too high for the chances of war, as calcula-
ted bv the merchants, very little was done at
the rates named by. the Insurers.

PARIS, Nov. 20, 1895.
Messrs.- EDITORS: You will learn from
the Journals of this city, that our Charge d.
Affaires, Mr.. Barton, has demanded and re-
ceived his passports, and returns home 10y
the next packet, or the succeeding. You
will also learn that the French Government
has recalled their Charge fAffairs at Wash
ington. So the two nations are now with
out diplomatic agents as it trespects each 9TH
CT.
81 cannot but look back apon the past of
this affair with great sorrow. The King OF
France, sincerely desirous of having this
matter amicably adjusted, and the claims OF
our Government paid, ,after the failure of the
first bill in the Chamber, recalled to the Mi
nistry the Duke do Broglie, who had always
showed his friendship for our country, and
who was heartily in favor Of the:payment OF
the money. A ministry was, formed upon
that principle. The measure was again
brought forward. So powerful was the op-
position from the Carhsts and Republicans,
that the Duke de Broglie became alarmed
for the fate of The bill. He too hastily ac-
cepted Gen. Valaze's amendment, requiring
explanations from the President respecting
his message, believing that this would read
ily be done in order TO settle the sAeatter. He
expected no apology nor anything like it.
And he, without doubt, expected to receive
the sincere thanks of Mr.. Livingston for
what he had done. Instead Of this MIR. L..
went to him much excited. An unpleasant
interview took place. And although more
pleasant one succeeded just before Mr.. LIS
dcpartare, still the Dukes feelings were
deeply wounded. Mr.. Livingston returned
to the United 'States-meetings were held for
him in Philadelphia and~New York; exas.
pering toasts were drank and published to
the world.
"a" Tie Freneh Government, in the mean.
While, sends a communication. to their Charge
at Washington, stating ,sohat ,,could be salts
factory 10 them, and requesting ham 10 stoacat
to the Secretary of State, and gire hin, CO.
py, if he desired it. The Secretaryof State,
houerer, REFUSES TO RECEIVE 1T, OR EVEN
TO HEAR IT, saying that no negotiotion can
be had on The subject Of giving explanations
length given here, through the American
Charge, that the American Geveroment re.
fuses to give any explanations, and payment
of the money is demanded; this, after
some negotiation, and one or two interviews,
is refused. Mr.. Barton, according to his
instructions, demands his passports end OBJ
tains.them, and the French withdraw their
Charge lion the United States. This is q
brief history of this unfortunate affair. Ihe
unnecessarily harsh language of the last
and the rough and severe language
of Mr.. Lningston's correspondence with
the French Government, and the unpardon.
able and stupid publishing of the cerrespon-
dencc with. his own, have broughtsus to the
very verge Of a war. =
e / am not disposed TO blame our Governs
nent for being decided with Fracce' : It
was time that it should be so. But this .bu.

Nor do / blame the President for moi making
an apology TO flle French Government, or
even explanations directly. forit had no right
to make such a demand. Butt think some
thing was due to- the position Of the King
and his ministry. and some way could have
been devised for getting over this difficulty,
without farther trouble, and without compre-

Toulon, Nov. 9.-a Great events seem
to be in embryo. Letters from Genoa, da-
ted the Sd instant, speak Of considerable ar,
snainents as gong on in that port. Persons
who are likely TO be well informed, express
great fears for the. continuance of peace
It's generally thought at Genoa that the YES.

by the Russian squadron, which is imne-
,diately expected in the bay of Palma The
naval division thus augmented, is reported
to be destined for the support, of Don Car

that the decisions Of Toeplitz are not very
favorable to the Constitutional governments
