After the announcement Of the reception of Mr,
Rivex the Monteur says:
e"On Thursday evening last the President Of the
Republic received, in private audience, the MIN
kter of the United States, with whom the cOmmu-
nications had been interrupted, in consequence al
the differences that have arisen between NJ. Pols-
sin and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Of the Cab-
iDet at Washington. The Presidentof the Repub
lie declared to the Minister Of the United States
that notwithstanding the faults which it light to
admit ON both sides, he willingly took the first step
towards the re-esta5lishment Of good harmony be-
tween the two countries; and that susceptibility
which ronld be, perhaps, natural with respect 10
a monarchy, did not appear to have the ser
ious motive as regarded an elder republic.

On the rupture of the negotiations between the
French Consul General at Taugiers and the Gov
ernor at that place, the Dauphin had been to coli
lect the French who were established at Larache
and at Mogadore. The Pacha of Mogadore, before
having had resourse to violence first did every thing
in his power to retain the French Consul residing
there; he assured him that war between France
and Morocco would be without reason, and that
the feelings of the people would compel the En-
porcf toconle toan arrangement The authorizes
declared themselves in opposition to Abderrhaman
who always erinced much chstinacy. He, how
ever, played with his crown, and Morocco is threa-
tened with the most f!ightful anarchy, for there
could be no doubt that the appearance of French
feet On The coast would be the signalfnr serious
revolt.
@A YaIat, tie French Consul at Mogador, On
receiving the dispatches brought him by the Dau-
phin, wished To embark immediately with his fam
fy; but he was prevented, although he informed
the Pacha that he had received formal order from
ha Government. The Governor stated that as NJ.
Ealiat came to reside at Mogador with the author
ization of the Enporer, he could not leave with
