commercial men in our cities from the
house of Baron Rothsctild in London
make it certain that the Government
of France had notified that Of England
that it was now ready to fuIfiI all the
/ conditions Of the treaty, without fur
ther delay f#tza
Ia the favorable turn this great af-
fair has taken, our best hopes are full
filled, and Our most agreeable anticipa
tons realized. Speaking of the late
A nndal Message, wesaid: on the i2h
Of Decembar-"We have already re.
ferred TO its disavowals, Of offensive
iHtentiou towards Fra nee in last years
Message, as being ample; eatirely suf
fcient; unless so far as the point Of
them may be supposed TO be blunted
by The new matter Introduced in con-
nexion with them. We rejoicein the
hope that the disclaimers by the Presi
dent wlInot only be received by the
Government of France as satisfactory
evidence that no offence was intended
IN the last Message, bat will serve, at
the same time, for rule Of interpre
talion of whatever might otherwise ap
pear to be offensive in this. We are
sanguiuc in The hope that this will be
tke course Of things, iftime be allow
ell for the Message 10 operate atPar-
is."
What We then hoped has, 10 the very
etter, come 10 pass. lfany doubt was
left by the general tenor Of tho unofficial
communications from Paris and Lqndon
on the subject, it would be entirely remuv
ed by the commentaries en the Message
by tho French journals known 10 be in
the confidence Of the French Ministry.
Wereier especially 70 an article transid
| ted from the Journal des Debates Of Jan.
3, which we have nd room to copy, but
in which We find the following significant
and conclusive passages;
"'Ibe French Government, having ac-
cepted tho amendment Jf Genelal EALAzE
was lerced TO wait for explanations. Mr.
Livingston FASTENED to offer certain num
Der, but on his own responsibility. We
subsequently find the President declaring
that the course adopted by the American
Minister "had received his sanction and
his entire appreciation" He adds, that
this appreciation would have been at any
time communicated TO the French Gov
ernment had il been officially demanded.
, lie protests against the interpretations
given to his previous message; and he de
f carcs that an attempt to extort from the
French nation any thing inconsistent with
IT'S feelings Of justice would have been ia

scure passages and ambiguous express

"Bui il is we'll known that the above IRE
lerriug TO passage quoted from the Mes

merlcan documents, Notwithstanding their
extreme prolixity, are never exempt"
'sit would be silly toappear offended be

with few bighsounding expressions, OF
few military "reminiscences, or pom

necessity Of sacrificing their individual
feelings 10 the parliamentary majority by
whom they were made ministers"
10 the message arc announced various
demands for considerable sums, for the
purpose oI increasing the Navy aud ior
completing the unfinished Qualifications a
long the coast. Considering that we hat
