Correspondence Of the Baltimore Sum-
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.

Correspondence of the Baltimore SUM-
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.
We learn, through the New York papers, that
Mr.. Rush informed this Government in dispatch,
dated May Sd, that France entertained hostile
feelings and purposes towards this country. IL
is that such a dispatch received, and there
are many circumstances which strengthen lis
claim TO entire credit.
The ambition of Napoleon, and a desire for that
military fame upon which his family was founded
will lead him into wars. He is not prepared to
make war upon England, and will not give further
aid to the Pope, unless he will obey orders. Of
course he will not quarrel with his despOtic allies
II follows that, If he wants war, he will make II
upon the u. Safes, as Mr.. Rush states.
1t is now very well understood that Mr.. Clayton
did, not very !org ago. address a strong remon.
STRANGE to the British Government against its en-.
croachmens on the southern portion OF this con-
tnent, and that serious correspondence is to take
place the subject upon the arrival of Sir Henry
Lytton Bulwer.
1t has been supposed here that this gentleman n
would not come to the United States, rs his health
is very bad, but according 10 n London paper, he
will come to this country in fulflment OF his mis-
sion as soon as he returns from the German Spas.
Mr.. CHAMPION will then leave, lnasmuch as he is
not good terms with Mr. Buwer.
The Nicaragua war of diplomacy is then TO
commence, and England and America will be
enlightened with long stories about the history and
geography of the Mosquito country its extent
and boundaries - the pre;ensions of the State of
Mica ragua the intercourse of Great Britain with
the royal family Of the Mosquito country - and
her treaties with the same whereby for q red
coat and string Of glass beads, and annua
entertainment for the royal family at Jamaica,
she obtained the exclusive right OF traffic in the
country - to establish n commercial depot and n
fort - and the exclusive right to the navigation of
the San Juan.
As TO the treaties or bargains whatever they
be called - between the two great nations - they
are. suppose, just as honest and as binding, and
confer as much right upon the stronger treaty
making party, as our argains with our native In.
dians.
Hostile Feelings of the French President.-A
belief has been entertained for time pa that
unfriendly feelings existed towards the United
Stntes. on the part of The French President. The
grounds for this belief are-the marke omission
of the President, in his message or speeches OF
any allusion to this country-his nnii-repubcan n
policy. and dislike of free institutions and his
predection for the monarc rchical governments OF
Europe, and particularly of Russn wi,h which pow
er, rumor Us, alliance, offensive and defensive
between the Autocrut and the President is in con.
temptation. The conduct Of the French President
in the recent difficulty with the French Minister
bears also sinister aspect, for Mr.. PoUssIN distinct.
ly claims 10 hnve done and said nothing more, in
all this correspondence, tha explicit and ;mpe rn
tive instructions from his own Government oblig.
ed him TO do and say.
Connected with this subject, the New York
Courier and Enquirer makes the following sta te.
meDt:
"We understand that as long ago q. in May last,
Mr.. Rush, our Minister in Paris, wrote 10 Mr..
Clayton. our Secretary of State, that the Presi.
dent of the French Republic had declared. lha,
if France wns TO engage in war with any power.
IL uould be wuh The United States. The dispatch
in which this fact was stated bore date the Sd of
May and on the 18th of May, NJ. Poussin made
the peremptory demand on Mr.. Clay ion. avowedIy
under instructions from the French Minister tor
Foreign Affairs for satisfaction for the insult Of
fered to The French flag by commander Car
penter."
The Editor thinks that our present relations
with France justify graver view of the whole
matter, than the press seemed disposed 10 enter
tain; but that the country, however, will feel the
most entire confidence that the Adminisrra zion
will do everything, that due regard to the rights
and the honor of the nation will permit, to pre-.
serve pence with all the world.
Land Warrants.-The following extract from
a letter of the commissioner of the General Land
Office, may be found useful TO holders and dealers
in land warrants:
AS tne act OF congress renders all assignments
made and executed prior to The issue of the war.
rant or certificate null and void, IL is material
that the datc Of the assignment and of the ac-
acknowledgement should be filled up 1hen made, in
order to furnish evidence to this office that the as.
sgnment uoas in fac, made after The issuing Of Tie
tcarrdnt. The mere leaving in the assignment a
blank, for the name Of the assigned to be after.

whore it is fair and regular in all other respects
because the legal Implication in such case is, that
the nssignor has authorized the person for whose
