Winners News Letter of Oct g. says" Abiding
to the treaty signed between The United States and
England, the Constitu,ionnel, which OF course
speaks, IN this instance, the language o Nj. Theirs,
and repre- ents his unmitigaed hostility TO England,
declares that France is in the proper position 10
dlvest herself of he treaties OF 1881 and 1885,
much as the conditions OF nations being progressive,
are liable 10 those changes which demand reguia-
ton aud settlement Of their relations upon new
grounds. This journal also observes that the treaty
relative to the right OF search Is virtually renewed
annually, because the number OF crulzers appoint
ed by the two governments every year ana there
lore France may. on any one OF those occasions, d.
vest itself OF the treaty But this is not all The or
gan OF NJ Theirs openly declares that France should,
without delay, compel England to grant, IN new
treaty, the same provisions and advantages which
she herself has laid down the basis OF her treaty
with the Uni'ed States The language OF The Con-
sttutionnel may be taken as a specimen OF the
spirit with which M. Theirs will act, should he
again succeed to power, and assume the portfolio OF
the Foreign Office. The Electoral College OF No
formerly represented that district. M. de Savandy,
it will be remembered. was the French Ambassa-
dor at the Court of Madrid, TO whose insolent pre-
tensions the high-splrited Regent would not give
way. He Is one OF the editors of the Journal des
Debats, and belongs TO the Doctrinaire or Conser-
vative party-a party that is supported by the most
influential newspapers, by budget Of nearly forty
million pounds sterling, and by about four hundred
thousand tayonets; and yet, In spite OF the I'M
mense influence possessed by the Grown, through
the medium oil SO powerful party, King Louis
Philippe is compelled to make use of all his cum
ming, duplclty, and intrgues-ot all his means OF
corruption, bribery, and inrmidaton-to obtain
trlflng majority in the Chamber OF Deputies In ia
vor OF his mysterious and tyrannical policy.

be no deficiency of Shampagne wine ESQ caled,) for
millions OF bottles are manufactured out OF the COM

the foreign markets supply themselves with any
quantity at the wine stores at Bercy, near Paris, at

MARSHAL GRoucHY -We learn from Aulnay that
few days ago Marshal Grouchy had grand wolf
hunt in the woods of Mount Pincon All the sports
men Of the surrounding country, amounting in num-
Der to more than 300, assembled the exciting &C.
casion. The chief spot was thicket at the end OF
a narrow valley, commanded by the healthy heights
of Plessis and Roucamos, in which seven or eight
wolves had taken shelter. The pack, consisting of
q couple of hounds, were thrown In and did their
work CALAMITY, but were not able to drive more
than three wolves out OF the close covert, all OF
which fell by the shots OF many different sports
| mer. Unfortunately one of the Marshafs best
hounds was also killed, being, from his color, mis-
taken for one OF the game. The Marshal intends
to renew this sport until the country shall be cleared
entirely of wolves, which cause great injury by their
depredatons. CALI nanrs Messenger.
