Opinions Of the English Press on Mr.. Calhoun's
DiplOmacy-The Moral War Commenced.
[From the Morning Chronicle OF Jan. 81

The manner in which American dploma,ists have treat
ed and managed Of late years the King the French and
yer certainly vas France its Government aud its Cham
oeIs treated with more indigny than by the Americans
ana Dy MT Lvngston in the affair OF the indemnity The
French said they did not owe, and would not pay The
Americans swore-and the word is too strong-that
the o e IFr Frenc M ad pay Ala ssa
III YVES not one-thousandth part of the rough contumey
The French were, indie angry but party did not lay
hold ftheir anger, swell it by periodical irritation
and it was allowed to subside Cen Cass succeeded MI
Livingston in Paris and the General was soon in as much
penej
Now considering that the King Of the French and his
Ministry had been buliied by two successive American
Minister'S who by bullying gained their points we are
really startled to find their successor playing just the
same game, with precisely the success it being for
the ever permanent purpose Of playing off the French in
rivalry and hostility to England.
This surprising and II is still surprising TO
And that the subject which the American Minister is
enabled to array the declaration OF the French King
nence OF slavery France The first country recog
nize the independence Of Texas To be sure her aim and
her spuations in this treaty not to abolish slavery
or attain any great Philanthropc end but to pc
cuar reduction of duties upon her trade which, after all
is insignificant Another effort OF hers in the treaty
to spuate for conditions contrary to the supposed
sons of England in exercising bellgerent rights
Whatever was the aim sincerity Of the treaty conclu
ded 1885, the King Of the French grow as sick
and of Texan independence in 1884, he has
shown himself Of Spsnish freedom For Mr. King,
the American envoy visiting him. Louis Philippe volun-
% taken by the French Government in the slightest de-
gree hostile to the United States" In other words the
Americans might take Texas il they pleased, for any
thing that France had to urge oppose. Now, when
we consider that the French King had not long SINCE
formally recognized the independence OF this Texas
when we consider that the infammaory topic Of the
right of search, his only for eschewing slave
questions, net here implicated at alive amazed
the King OF the French gave utterance to words and
sanction to policy 30 at variance with all that is enligh
ened and religious, and humane not TO say LIBERAL in
France We have heard, indeed that those who strug
gle in the Cabinet well out for the emancipation OF
the negroes in the French colonies have found
determined opponent than the King but could
scarcely credit what we still hope to find caumnly-
II there be one subject upon which the cordiale
az well as the Charter should be TRUTH is the repres
sion Of slavery.
But one regrets to see that whilst Lord Cowley is
squabbling and conciating about host Of small points,
the American envoy is enabled to cut the Gordan knot
OF his difficulties by obtaining at reply
from the King. We must say that the comparison be-
tween the ENJOYS and the Governments not all to the
advantage Of and little does it prove the wis
dom or the efficacy with which our diplomacy is
Quoted
the American slaventerests have been successful at
the French court they have been equally successful
are sorry to with the French press The King Of the
French and NJ Guzot who both pretend to principles Of
philanthropy aud religion ought to be ashamed Of having
such political bedeows and such corrupt and inhuman
defenders Constitutional King and Liberal Minister
condescendng to be surrounded and protected by troop
Of slave drivers, is monsrosty in the nineteenth
tury.
