81 was much amused the other day by reading
memorial Of the Count do Vergennes addressed
to the King Of France. II accompanies survey
Of tho United States, and the memorial treats Of
the true basis for the future policy of the French
government toward US. This was written sixtv
years ago, just after the treaty our Independence
in l7s3; and the polite and wise Count there
states to the King, bis master, that there y yerv
powerful and formidable tribe Of Indians, called
lie Cherokees, who live in the gorges Of tho
mountains, and he recommends the king to cult.
vate friendship and alliance us barrier against.
the people oflhe United States'-mark that! (much
laughter )-'lest the people Of the United States,'
says The worthy count, moro ambitious than wise,
should attempt 10 cross the heights Of the Alle..

"To check this overweoning daring Of an am.
bilious people, he recommends an alliance between
tho crown Of France and the powerful nation Of
the Cherokes! Here is Mr.. Guzot's .balance of.
power In that day, the Cherokee Indians were
to be the counter.woight in the French balance
OF power to keep US back from being so daring rs
