THE MoMENTARY ECCENTRICITY OF
FRENCH POLICY.

The cooperation of France with England, in the
case Of Texas, is as unpopular with many Of the
French people, as it is contrary to her usual policy
The United States is her ancient ally. Custom, as
well as commercial and maritime interests, have
united them more closely together Why, then,
is it that France should have united with Eng
land in opposing our reunion with Texas'-
Texas, once united with us by her own treaty
Of Louisana-Texas, to whom we once pledged
our faith to admit her people TO all the rights
and privileges Of the American people, Whyis il
that her minister first proposed to unite with
England in the quintuple treaty; and when the
voice of France demanded remuneration of its
provisions, that her ministry now unites with Eng
land in new convention, which recognises the
same principle Of visitation which she lately repu-
distedp Why in il that her prime minister has pro.
mulsated new doctrine about the balance Of pow
err which would authorize France to interfere with
the extension Of our territory on our own continent
Some extraordinary influence mus. have operated or
France, to turn her from the arms Of her ancient ally
and her arden friend, into partial participation
Of The views of England. We trust that this strange
policy will soon disappear and thst we shall again
find ourselves united in measures, 90 wei pa IN
sentiment, to La Belle France.
We have shown that the views Of M. Guizoi
The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1845-07-11

have met with no little opposition at home. His
policy has been resisted in the Chambers. The
press is not unanimous in its favor. We have pub
shed some commentaries on his course from lie
Steele. We have before extract from another
Paris paper, La Presse, which runs as follows;
"The interest OF France is not 10 favor the breaking up
into pieces oh American continent and the creation OF

Independence. That the interest Of England not IL
would be better for and for America herself that Texas

THE TARIFF.

There is as great variety of views about the best
mode of adjusting this question, there is import
anee attached to the subject
A correspondent from the north of Germany
thus calls our attention to the great question:
"You viii naturally agree with me, that it cannot
remain on its present footing; but l do not know
whether you will concur with me in thinking that
it cannot be considered as finally settled, until the
agricultural States receive share of protection for
their staples equivalent TO what they contribute to
the protection Of the manufactures Of the northern
and middle States. Ii seems to me that this object
can only be obtained by negotiations with foreign
powers, for the mutual reduction of tariffs. II
was on this basis that the convention of March,
1874, was concluded with the German Zoll-Verein.
This treaty provided for the protection Of our
tobacco, rice, cotton, &C., against excessive duties
in tile Zoll Veren States, in return for equivalent
reductions on certain articles Of their manufactures
consisting principally of those which were free by
the compromise act of 1928. Both parties
were left perfectly at liberty to make similar
arrangements with other nations; and have the
best for believing that several powers, and
among others France and Great Britain, ready
TO have entered on negotiations with us on the same
basis. As the present tariff Of duties must be re-
duced the question is whether It is not most wise
to obtain in exchange equivalent reductions from
other powers of their duties on our staple agricultu-
raj products rather than to make our reductions by
legislation, independent of what other nations may
do, who will not in that case, even thank us for the
boon, which they viii be perfectly aware has been
conceded merely to get rid of "a measure of incon-
venient restriction as Mr. Canning called the EN-,
barge. l will only add, that although the Zoll-
Verein is not willing to wait any longer for the action
Of the Senate on the convention of 1874, it seems
perfectly disposed to make new arrangement on a
similar basis either in the form Of treaty, to be
submitted to the Senate for ratification, of COM
pact 70 be carried into effect by joint resolution OF
act of Congress-"

POSTAGE CHARGEABLE TO THE GOV
EMINENT UNDER THE NEW POST OF
EICE LAW

Up to the LIST instant, there was no method of
estimating the precise value (at the legal rates) of
the mail service required for the business of the diff
ferent departments of the general government. A
postage account is now kept, however, between
the city post office and the different bureaus and
departments of government located here, which al
ready begins to show the mail service performed to
be enormous. We have obtained the following
statement from the city post Office, through the
courtesy of the chief clerk of the department, Mr
Marron) which, though no general criterion, is yet
sufficient to give the public idea of the amount Of
mail service required for the business of the General
Post Office Department:
