WeIs's express, Montreal papers to the 9Th instant
They contain no news OF importance, being filled
with the late foreign news by the Cambria.
We now have two French papers published in
this cty-one, the Courier des Flats Unis, may be
said to represent the Gulzot politics of France
while the Franco American represents the republl-
Of France. They are each conducted with in.
dustry, tact, and talent NJ LIE Chevalier Gallau-
Diet makes an excellent representative Of Louis
PhllipPe's great prime minister. He is wonder
fully specious and non-committal; a great friend
TO America aud American institutions, neutrally
speaking; equally friendly and neutral towards
England in words, but wonderfully and profoundly
respectful in acts. Refute M. Gallaudet, and he
will remain neutral on the point, and argue some
other a reply. He thought at one time that al
though the Catholic religion was highly favorable
to republican institutions, yet that the Mexicans
most needed monopoly TO secure their peace and
happiness. The fact is, Chevalier Gallaudet, like
M Guizot, can rectify and refute his own positions,
when they are likely to produce absurdity, by con-
trary sentiments expressed under the same declara-
tons. The chevalier, however, is very talented
clever writer, and industrious man. His paper is
generally well filled with reading matter, and has
a large and profitable circulation, especially in Ha-
vana, louisiana, &c.
M. Rene Mason, the editor Of the Franco. Amer
icaln, is a republican every inch of him. He fights
manfully against the positions and doctrines of M.
Guzot. He cannot be said to be even a Theirs
man. He is out-and-out republican for the sake
of repubcansm. He has so far conducted the
Franco-American with great spirit and success. He
marches right up TO the positions he assumes, and
manfully defends them He is with America on Ore
gon and in reference to Mexican AFFAIRS but thinks
the revenue bill unfavorabe to the commerce
Of France. 1t is good thing that we have two well
American affairs to the foreign population in the
United States, as well as representing the working
of our institutions TO those in foreign countries.
Chevaier GaIlaudet has made fortune from his pa
per, and has been knighted besides Give M. Rene
Mason, and the Franco-Amercain a fair chance
The republicans of France need an organ in this
country which can keep them properly advised as
to what is going on. Ii will tend to show them
that between the republicans ofaI parts of Gods Gre
alton there ought to be a universal brotherhood
They can worship but one earthly Deity, and thai
is berty-profess but faith, and that is to ele
vate mankind to the possession Of his Just political
rights, securing to the greatest number the greatest
degree of knowledge and happiness Then success
