the United States shows the angry discussions
which have taken place in Congress; but the cot
ion market has not been touched by it. Pacific
people here, connected by business relations with
America. express wonder that Mr.. John @. Adj

powerful nations intent upon aggrandlzing, be-
yond measure, their MISUNDERSTANDING, Rus
sia, and the United States.
France was not extending her dominions. In
Africa she had made conquest it was her honor
and interest TO preserve, butthe bounds OF which
she would not overstep. 1t was of the highest
Importance TO France that these three nations
should balance each others power, and that
none ofthem should obtain preponderating in
fuence. She was consequently interested in
protecting the independence of the American
States
Disaster to the French in AIgeria--The
