 Monsieur le Duc-- Having executed to the letter the last instructions of my Government in the interview which 1 had the honor to have with your Excellency on the 24.h of this month, in order further to comply with those instructions, 1 am about to return to the United States. Before leaving France, however, have thought that 1t might not be altogether useless yc address your Excellen- cy, and to submit to you the conversation which then took place between us, word for word, as understood 1t. In pursuing this course, l am prompted by double motive:- first, by Q sincere desire to avoid even the slightest misunderstanding as to the precise meaning of any expressions used on either part; and alsowi view in presenting n.y. self to my Government, to furnish indisputa- ble proof of my fidelity ia executing the in- structions with which had the honor to be charged. This last motive, Monsieur la Due, does not interest you personally, but the first, am sure, will not appear without importance ln your eyes.

 A bill has been introduced into the house of Representatives of Pennsylvania with this title.

We have come to the conclusion that this ig thc most corrupt nation on the face of the earth-considsfing it's age. Nise's speech developes scanca worthy of Rome in her most corrupt days. Only think of a deliberate at tempt by the minions of Yan Buren to render fhe Senate, and Hugh |. White in partieu- lar, edious to the people--by tacking an un- constitutional clause to the appropriation bill, so as to force them to vote against it.. Look at the facts. After dark, and on the last night of the session, the appropriation bill, which had come from the House to the Senate, and there been largely increased and sent back to the House, is returned to the senate, with clause apprepriating hnee millions of money to be used at the discfe- tien af the President. Tie Senate refuse to concur, but appoint a committee of confar- enee. So does inc House. Nr. Cambreling is the chairman of the. .eonhllttae or the part of the latter. The committee agree to report the bill altering the three million clause so as to give soc, ,0o0for specific purposes--making nearly million and D half more than was first contained in the bill. The committee rise. Mr. cambrelng goes in to report the bill-but Van Buren sends him a note order ing him not to report it. He refuses to dc it -and although the Senate send the House a message reminding them of the Iill, yet 1t is suffered to die in the House.
 Think of ali this. Think of Polk and Beardsley and Gambreling stating privately that the President wished the appropriation
 but that they were not allowed to say 50 in public. Think of voting three millions un- conditi0nally-and the very men voting for it who cried out most lustily against the nson- sfey-the corrupting Bank. Think of Van s,nren ordering the Representatives of the American people whatthey shall do and what they shall not do. Thank heaven, Wise has given them castigation unequalled in Con- gressional history.

The Richmond Enquirer considers ii dis graceful to Judge White that he cannot be counted on the side of the Administration. We consider it the curse of our country that almost every public man at the present day can be coaated en the side of s'the party 7 right or wrong. Men who can always be counted on any side, are no better than slaves. No matter what taer own opinion is---the party requires their vote, and they give it--they are counted.
