W. have received the Moneur aud the jour

journals Of Sunday. The following paragraphs,
IN answer To some assertions Of the CarIist papers
appear IN the two former:
- II Is false that the communication made hy or
Ter OF t.ie French Government 10 that Of the L.

non OF such and such PHRASES in the next Message

the duties imposed on il by this law, and the ma

poet.
" II Is false tina, the communication made b>

communication.

LONDON, DEC. Q.
| The Paris papers of Monday discuss the rela-
tive position Of france and America. Tie Jour
nal dies Debats declares that Franco Twill do
neither less nor more than Americas" that France
has been - ins,i!ted Al least in appearances" and
could not do otherwise ihan ask for exploration
America has more To suffer from war than France
hut war, however untoward from America MA,
suit General Jackson. 1t terminates by obsery-
my that no person Government can torctrll
what the American EM culivc will do. The tone
/ ofhe Ministerial jomnai is piocabh in tie e.
treme. On the other hand, the Constitutional
asserts that the French Ministers threatened 10
consider an act Of non-in,ercoursc as declara-
ton of war, and that President Jackson feels
himself bound by national pride 10 persist in de-
rlandng the Suspension Act. The mediation
OF England having, il says, been found mprac-
licahe, the French Minister has flung upon the
Chamber the responsibility of deciding on this
important matter The notification that all do
cumcnts relative 10 il will be laid on the bureau Of
the Chamber, proves that such is the Ministerial
! intention.
LoNDoN, Dec. 10.
The Paris papers of Tuesday have arrived.
Reply ing 10 All assertion OF the Constltntione the
Ministerial evening journal asserts that in the COM
munieaions which passed, either al Washington
or Paris, between the representatives o the French
aud American Governments, there no talk Of
nom intercourse or war. All the difference, says
At present consists-l. As to the question OF right
which the two Governments take III contrary SEN
Ses, that of asc-rraining how Tar the United States
Government is obliged 10 give explanations the
subject OF the Presidents Message. 2. As to
question of fact, that Of asccrtaInin9 whether the
explanations offered by Mr.. Livingston, previous
to the adoption of the law of Junr II, was or Was
no, of nature TO satisfy The French Govern
ment.
Now from this il appears that thu question is 10
be reopc,ed as 10 whether the explanation al Mr..
/ Livingston was or was not s,fclent. The Cham
Der of Deputies decided tina, il Was not. But we
learn now that iiPrcsidcnt Jackson would declare
in his message that he acknowledged and adhered
