Commitment 10 MIR, Rush,

The Philadelphia Spirit Of the Times conecs the preva-
lent error that M Lamarine in his History Of the French
Revolution, had "suned the prompt and patriotic
manner in which able ambassador, Mr. Rush. was the
first to recognise the French republic" The Times refers
to the sh chapter Of the nth book of the history, in
which Lamarne republshes his celebrated manifesto to
Europe.
With what interest Lamarine watched the returning news
OF the reception Of his may be gathered from
the pages of his book After being satisfied as to re-
Suits and before any foreign minister had been appointed
he thus discusses
Meanwhile, Europe seemed balanced between the ter
which the revolution in Paris inspired and the hope
the possibility of peace which the manifesto Of the pro
visiona government permitted her cherish The Aner
minister had been the to recognise the French repub
fc by anticipating the orders of his government and by
sole authority Of a community Of Institutions"
How eoquenty and trulhfully the above represents the
action of Mr.. Rushthe feelings Of the American govern
ment and people ...'

hoods invented by the "Swiss corps" organized under
the auspices OF Truman Smith and the Secretary Of the
INTERIOR TO malign the democratic party and perform
generally the base Offices OF the cabinet We do not
believe that letter Of such character has been received
by the ladies' al the White House, that be
produced Perhaps General Taylor may have had letters
of an improper character sent to him. We know
that Mr.. Polk received many such from anonymous
whgs but he treated them with the consideration which
they deserved He threw them into the fire, and said
nothing about them, The practice however, of sending
such communications TO the Chief Magistrate of the
ton is dsgacefu in the extreme and none but the base
and unprncpled OF any party would be guilty OF it, We
denounce such conduct in any party II twas dsgraceful
to the wings who guilty OF il when Mr.. Polk was
in office, and il is dsgraceful in any democrat who is
now guilty of the practice if any is And the at.
tempt of the wing press make the democratic party

they forward and transmit wing journals to their des

We have seen that some Of the wing presses unable
to deny that the mails have become irregular as to be
untrustwothy, have sought to the responsibility
from Mr. Colamer and his Second Assistant. But they
cannot succeed 1t is evident that the misconduct which
we complain Of must be practsed by mail contractors,

GENTLEMEN; The Union OF this morning contains an
article relative 10 the detention OF the Hon MIR Barrin-
ger, minister to Madrid the frontiers OF SPAIN which
calculated to create wrong impression will there
Tore thank you to give place in your columns to the
following explanation:
Mr. Baringsrs passport is precisely the same, mutols
mufandi as that which Mr. Saunders himself took with
him when he proceeded his mission Il is impossible
therefore, that Mr. Bangers progress towards his post
could have been retarded by any in his passport
issued BY this department IL as is stated, he was de-
tanned, this must have been occasioned BY his having
omitted no doubt through Academy to have his passport
Sountersgned by the proper officer the French frontier
This, indeed, is confirmed by passage in the summary
OF the foreign news in the very number OF the Union
containing the article enclosed

1t was to prevent country being placed in this de-
porable dilemma that we adopted the course we have
pursued. We do not regret it. We find nothing on a
encounter all the Misrepresentation and abuse have
received that may be showered upon u.s. if shall
have been instrumental in aresng changing policy
that would reflect dishonor upon our country
But our duty is not yet entirely fulfilled. Although
congratulate ourselves that persistence in our
course. in despite OF the efforts of the combined wing
presses, has led to beneficial results, as we
have stated we have not yet entirely fulfilled our duty
We must continue vigilant sentinels to watch the
movements Of whgery and warn the American people OF
its designs in reference to these important questions
The administration has not yet decided o'do right 1t
has yet resolved maintain the Monroe and Polk
declaration. We fear it has already committed itself
against that declaration in its correspondence with the
British government Ii has, however, one mode by
which it may possibly, in some degree, avert the evils
of its past conduct Whether will adopt it or not,
remains to be seen. Whether its alarm, arising from
the exposure by the Union of its past designs and lest
that exposure should excite the Indignation Of the Amer
lean people, will it to do SO, time will show
That course is, to submit the whole question: and all the
correspondence and the treaty of Mr. Hse and also of
Mr. Squer, to Congress at the opening Of the session,
so that Congress may protect rights interest, and
honor. We have heard suggested that it may probably
adopt such course. With such course if it is not too
lae-if Mr. Clayton has not already compromised this
the present state of these questions we
should be disposed to be content rather than they should
remain under the dangerous control they are at present
We should regard the evasion of responsibility,
thereby indicated, as evidence that the administration
possess salutary fear if they have not proper regard
for American feeling.

The Estimates.

gather from sundry limitations which we have seen
in the correspondence from this city, published certain
wing papers of the North, that the cabinet will
mend Congress to make much larger appropriations for
the OF the government than have been heretofore
made. From the hints which have been thrown out in
advance OF the estimates to prepare the public mind for
this increase OF expenditure fear that upon the
verge OF new era of governmental extravaganza.
To check, in the outset, such design the part of
the cabinet, deem duty to the people in
advance of the danger which threatens them, order
that they may speak out and nip these schemes Of
travagance in the bud All the money used by the gov

giant system of internal improvements proposed. This
will bring about the government brood of hungry and
mercenary Spectators, who will become active politi-

corrupt dynasty in power, while they enrich
themselves. Then will follow high taxation, high
tariffs, banks, the reign Of paper money, era oil
