To The Editor Of the Union:
Lasi week WAS characterized ia the interior BY
hot weather, thunder storms, high wind and heavy
rains, followed by chilly temperature. Fires and
oyereoais wsre comfortable N Boston yesterday IA
well as in New York
You will perceive, that The rCourrer des Eats
unls" OF the present date, comes out quite savage
against the Union and the administration. Ii takes
you TO task for your remarks made last week in
reference 10 the Proposed despatch Of large French
nee. 70 the Gulf OF Mexico, IL argues that France,
"a adopting this course, does nothing more than
England and the United States did when France
conleneed hostiIlties against Mexico in 1885, and
lnumates that the English deet Of observation at that
time exceeded the force under the command Of
humifai baealn This may have been true and
proper, as England had -four times the commerce.
with Mexico that France had then, or has al the
present time. In the event of war between ma
tons, IL Is expected that neutrals NAV send ont
an adequate force TO look after their interests bat the
extent OF the heet Is usually regulated somewhat
by the amount OF trade 10 be looked after For in
stance, It cannot fail to strike as a little odd
that France at the present time should send out

on terms OF friendly intercourse with both the bel
iigerents The Courier, very consistently, thinks
@ strengthen itself by quotations from the Tribune
Express, and other federal journals, This Is all
very NATURAL for why should presses so often found
opposing The patriotic measures Of their own gov
eminent, differ from the opinions Of foreign Jour
ma, patronzed and encouraged by ROYALTY al home
The Courier says it has been charged that the
French government and people are two things; bot
thinks the Union and American people are two
things still more distinct. Il may readily be be-
heved that the Courier DIES Flats Unis expresses
sentiments which differ as widely from the true sen.
tirnens Of the French people in eitherl.smispAeEs
as the Two poles asunder II also, in another place
charges the President with an abandonment OF BIS

doubt has fallen into gross error by following in
the wake Of It's whg "eostrsres" Its eoaduors have
also likely led this monarchia sheet aslray with re-
gard to the reported refusal of the accent
OF the rendered mediation on the part Of England
" the Courier could be induced to study Amer-
can affairs In spirit OF caador and fairness without
relying so much upon the fallacious and sinister
views Of the American federal whig journals would
command more respect and get along with greater
success. It's lame attempts at sophistry, in imita-
on OF the prime minister Of France exposes lis ar
guments to ridicue. 10 trying TO conceal its
thoughts in words il exposes the true character Of
It's motives, and the extreme weakness and folly of
Us course have no time 10 trouble you further
on this point. ] commend the Courier 10 your con-
sidera'ion, u deemed worthy of notice.
