THE RIG HIT OF SEARCH.
In the French Chamber Of Deputies the budget for
foreign affairs being under discussion, NJ BiHdut,
tho ally of Nj. Thiers, assailed the Quiniuple Treaty
and the conduct of M Gulzot in not peIemplorily
sing TO ratfy the treaty, He stated that merchant
and shipper Of Marseles had ordered his captains to
hoist the American coors should the English cruisers
come within sight, and that the Instructions
we're about to be given at all the French ports. Thus
al led the orator. ''ihe impoency Of the French flag

new alliance of The Great Powers thus making use
of the name of France to Tear from the American
Government its adhesion TO the extended rlght of

teW were" In the present state of things and the
actual disposition Of the public mind, should deem
myself wanting IN my duty towards the country,
to advise the the ratification of the treaty.
The following remarks on the refusal of France to
ratify the treaty are from the London Sun.

the controversy During the life of the present ge-
neraon France will not ratify the treaty nor will
the United States adopt it.
What, then, remains for Great Britain to do En-
force the treaty alone, and if resisted declare war
against Franco and the United States Heaven for
bid that we should be guilty of such madness!
We have already expended more blood and trca-
sure for the suppression of slavery than sound policy
and the happiness of the African race would warrant
Sir Foxwe Buxton, in his recent clever book on the
subject distinctly states that have given impc-
tus to the slave trade, by expensive but blunder-
ing -direct. efforts to suppress it,
1t may be asked what we would recommend
the British Government to 90 in the present emer-
gency We answer distinctly, abandon the treaty
altogether
