FURTHER FROM FRANCE.

FURTHER FROM FRANCE.
From the Philadelphia Gazette.
There is a letter in this city from a
Philadelphian in Paris, dated Nov. / 1,
which says, that it has been ascertain
ed that the Duke de Broglie's feelings
towards the Uuited States have UNDER
gone a complete change. He now
looks forward to the settlement Of the
American question with comparative
indifference. This may be ascribed 10
the uncourteous reception which his
overture to our Government, made
through Mr.. Pageot, received.
The following is an extract from
letter from one our most respectabls
fellow citizens, who has been for soma
time sojourning in France. Its con.
tents have been confirmed by subss-
qusn. letter Of 10th November.

are now, and have ever been, sincerely
anxious to execute the Treaty to tbs

contrary, yet they have been placed ID
such a position by the celebrated 4:
