There are certain parties in France,
as well as in England, Of whom we
are sometimes compelled to say,"TheIr
liberality is not liberal" Some such
politicians in Paris have discovered that
the Globe, like all its (EngIish) brethren,
treats Of the American question with an
underhand reference to English interests.
In our own name, aud in that Of all our
liberel cotemporaries, we throw back this
utterly gratuitous imputation. live had
underhand views (ar1'iere pensees) in ia
vor Of our own interests, nothing, per-
haps, ought to please US better than the
prospects OF a rupture between France
and America. There is nothing, howev-
or which we have more sincerely and
earnestly deprecated. The National has
discovered that the Times American ccr-
respondence is aimed at pushing France
to war with. America What England
wants OF France at present, it seems, is
the aid Of her ships of war to destroy
the fleets of America and Russia--"a
servlce," says the same candid publicist,
"whlch we have already rendered En-
gland against Holland and Spain. -
When England wants aid, it will be not,
most assuredy, from the French fleets to
destroy those of America. When En-
gland wants aid, it will be not against
the-Russian macy x Globe.)
London, Nov. 28.-1he unsettled state
Of the affairs Of America with France, a S
well as the preparations in the seaports
Of France, give suspicion that the French
Government is determined to have the
amende honorable, and if refused, hostiIi-
ties will take place. This is prevailin g
opinion IN the City, and throws graf
gloom ON the various speculations of the
market.-Sun.
From the Moniteur du Commerce.
The interests Of commerce would be so
seriously compromised by collision with
the U. States, that it would be better per-
haps that the actual state Of the American
question was made known by publications
somewhat more official than the cores
pondence in English Journals, or the o.
pinions Of individuals expressed in the
French Papers. For our own part we
have always maintained that the CONNER.
cial interest need not be alarmed, and
might rel on the good sense of the A
merican Congress. But when large fleets
are put upon the war footing, when n levy
Of marines, is ordered, and when the mn-
lister in an interval of the Legislative
Session, takes upon himself the RESPONSE
blity Of such considerable expenditures,
it is at least necessary that some official
advice should be given to the owners OF
| Privateers as to whether they have any
reason TO continue their preparations, and
to commercial men as to whether they
safely engage in foreign speculallons.

happened Letters received from Lon
