The above despatch. says the American, comes direct
from a highly respectable source -oae that would ha

seem To imply that sumo difficulty really cxtss. and. that
there are facts. IN reference thereto, Wtlisl may ~lranspire

The fact that Nj. poussin had beca informed. thai his
passports were ready. was published IN Il r~letnrh,c des-
patel. in the New York Journal u clmnrrceu i Tuesday,
and excited considerable sensation IN that cry. The EN

The Baltimore Suns correspondent, Spectator, in a let

Guilty arose, consequently Mr.. Rlves' appointment could
have had nothing 10 do with II and since May,np official
communication has been held with NJ. poussln ON the
part of this government.
When Nj. Pousln's fist discourteous note was rrcriv-
ed, II was supposed ii might have been uniulenaoual and,
acting IN the most friendly splH,. lis improperly was,

he should Withdraw 1t and send one framed IN re In
accordance with dlplamltlc eti9ae'ta. lie complied with
the friendly suggestion, aud II was 0f course then brhty

a short Time, however, he had again occ'slan 10 witt

Notwithstanding this, the matter was investigated and
1t was found that the charges he had brought against an
officer, connected with an important branch Of the public

wholly u%nloauded, and proofs OF his error were forwarded
To hun. lis reply 10 this was very offensive, and al

Ills occurred last May. Their aus yer has been r.criy-
ca, and IN the most supercii 1us way they decline inter
lerlng IN the matter, and consequently endorse the imprf-
Thence OF their Minister.
Our government Of course could not brook this insult,
aud IL has, by the last steamer. informed the French 90
Verninent That NJ PoossIn cannot be recognized longer as
ihe representative Of that nation. and that his passports
are ready tor him. 1t has in fact demanded his recall.
Inc action OF France in refusing To recall Nj. Poussin.
when his correspondence was laid before her, shows
clearly mat her friendship and respect Is but a hollow mask.
IL rhli'aIns to be seen whether more attention will be paid
to the explicit demand for his recall. now made by our
government, or whether France is willing 10 stand re-.
Vealed as the foe ~ofllberty on this continent, as she has
already in Europe.
