Whoeveris conversant with the charac-
ter of President Jackson will experience
an agreeable surprise in reading the late
message.
As regards France the general tone of that
document is moderate. Indeed, Judging
of the whole, we therein discern an une-
quivocal feeling of high consideration, at
which we are not to be surprised, forFrance
has been accustomed to this sentiment, and
will not easily get rid ofthe habit, however
singular may be the contrast between the
complexion of the late Message and that o.
December, 1884. One thing seems certain
that the president is at the present moment
entertaining the hope and the desire that
the difference which has arisen between
two great nations may be brought to an
honorable conclusion both for the one and
the other. If he has exhibited this year
some symptoms ofirritability with respect
to France, it was only against the American
opposition in general and especially against
the Senate for having refused last year an
extraordinary grant of 100000 dollars for
the Notifications.
1t is true that General Jackson absolutely
refuses to make, under certain form, the
reparation demanded by the French Gov
ernment alleging it to be his conviction
that such reparation would he inconsistent
with the American constitution, and with
the independence and government of the
people of America. But it has not appear
ed that the French Government had even
pointed out the particular form of repara-
ton, and, at all, events, it is of little conse-
quence. The material object is that a re-
paration should be made that it be appro-
pirate and explicit. Now, it appears 10 us,
that this explicit, appropriate, and undenia-
BILE reparation is contained in the message
which has just been received
Paris, 9Th Jan. From the correspondence
of LIE Journal de Hare.
"On the day before yesterday Nj. de
Broglie said to some of the Deputies We
now consider the affair ofthe U. States set
tied We think the Chamber will be ofthe
same opinion, when the address is Under
discussion.
Paris, 5h Jan. The Messenger says, that
IL was reported at the Bourse to day, and
generally believed, that the commission
appointed by the Chamber of Deputies to
prepare an address to the King will pro-
pose, that it is perfectly satisfied with the
explanations contained in the last message
of President Jackson and that the minis
ter of foreign affairs will announce his in
tention of paying Immediately the 25 mil
lions of francs.
London, 4h Jan. The only question now
is on the French and American dispute
what sort of Special Message Gen. Jackson
may send to Congress on the occasion of
Mr. Barton's return? This, it is surmised,
will be of a less soothing character. Here
then will be manifested the value of English
mediation, which may step in between any
message and the pursuant proceedings of
Congress, and satisfy the American people
of the conciliatory spirit of France, as ev-
inced in having accepted our agency
