LATE r. FRANCE


The London Morning Herald of Nov.
10Th. contains a letter from its correspon-
dent at Paris, which says" The Ameri.
can question is, | may aver, in a train of
satisfactory al adjustment. The British Go.
vernment has offered lis mediation between
France and the United States. 1t has
been accepted by the Cabinet of the Tu-
%IlleIles. which even goes so far as to offer
TO lodge the money in the Bank of Eng
land, or the British Treasury. The Anne
rican Charge d'Afaires has not vet Left
town, nor will he until the first Of Decem-
Der; but his going or staying, although
connected with the question, cannot influ-
ence it in the slightest degree.
LONDON, November 90.
The political aspects Of Europe are
commencing 10 occupy much more atten-
ton IN the public mind than they have
lately done. and an impression has pre-
vailed here, that in addition to the suppo-
sed disputes between the Courts OF Paris
and 81 Petersburg, matters have not late.
ly run so smooth between those of St. Pc
tersburg and Great Britain, whilst it has
even been confidently advanced that a
correspondence has taken place between
Lords Palmertson and Durham relative to
the necessity of demanding an explanation
OF the reply Of the Gar. to the address Of
the Deputies Of Warsaw.
AntIclpations are also rife relative TO the
dispute between the French and the Uni
ted States governments ; and parties who
maintain that it is unavoidable, refer to the
naval ornaments fitting out at Brest and
Toulon, whilst others as s~trenuously APP
ply the cause of those naval preparations

PARIS, November

ANS, ANONClIlDCi -
Mr.. Barton who has hitherto per(or-
med the f|unctionaries of Charge DAT.
flares of the United States, at Paris.
decidedly leaves this city on Monday.
1t is said to be in consequence ofthe
refusal Of M. de Broglie to give a sat
lsiactory answer to three proposals
which he was commissioned to make
him on the part of his government
Messenger.
The Constitutional does not consider
the step taken by Mr.. Barton as indi.
catlve Of an approaching rupture. 1t
observes that the consul of the United
States is to remain in Paris to keep up
as heretofore, the commercial relations
Of France. 1t seems, in fact that lit.
tie or no uneasiness prevails in any
part Of France about a risk of q war
with the United States, and this prob
ably is because there exists a strong
impression that no means will be left
untried to avoid a rupture, and that
some mode of adjustment will be devils
ed which may prove equally satisfacto.
ry to both sides.
The Temps states that Mr.. Barton
made his application, ina prerem:ory
style, on Friday, alledging the non.
execution of treaties on the part of
France. The passports were deliver
ed on Saturday, and the Charge d. AT.
fares was to quit Paris on Monday
The Temps expresses its confidence
that matters will end in an amicable ad.
lustment,

o. One of the best evidences of the thriving
and prosperous condition of the cities Of our
country, is TO be found in the fact, that not a sin.
gle mercantile failure of Importance has occurred
III N. York in consequence of the late calamitous
fire in that city. This fact, that SIS, ZOO, 900 of
capital has been destroyed in the greatest COM
mercial city in the U. S. without causing a single

which weliye, that could have been pronounced.
