PARIS, Nov. 20, 1885.
"Messrs. EDIroRs: You will learn
from the journals of this city, that our
Charge d Affaires, Mr.. BARTON. has de-
manded and received his passports, and
returns home by the next packet, or the
succeeding. Y on will also learn that
the French Government has recalled
their Charge d Affaires at Washington.
So the two nations are now without d.
plomatic agents as it regards each other
II cannot but look back upon the past |

King of France, sincerely desirous OF
having this matter amlcably adjusted, |
and the claims of our, Government paid,
after the failure Of the first bill in the
Chamber, recalled. to the ministry the
Duke DE BRoGLIE, who had always

and who was heartily IN favor ofthe pay
ment of the money. A ministry was for.
med upon that prlnclple. The measure
was again brought forward. So powerful

Republicans, that the Duke DE BRoGLiE
became alarmed for the fate of the bill.
He too hastily accepted Of Gen. Va
LAzE's amendment, requiring expana-
tons from the Pr esldent respecting his
message, believing thai TINS would read

LIVINGSTON for what he had done. In
stead OF this, Mr.. l.. went to hun much
excited. AN unpleasant interview TOOK
place. And although more pleasant
one succeeded just before MIR. LIS de.

deeply wounded. Mr.. LIVINGSTON re-
lurAed to the United States--meetlngs
were held for him at Philadelphia and
New YORK exasperatlng toasts were
drank and published to the world.
