The daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1848-1851, 1849-11-03

Among the Europa's accounts, published this
morning, will be found the paragraph from Paris
paper which has been quoted as proof Of the Official
disapproval by the French Government of the con-
duct Of M Roussin. It does not at all bear out
that construction. 1t not from the MoniteuT, as
the telegraph reported il, but from La PresSe. The
The MOaiteur is an Official organ; La Presss has
no government character whatever. 1t was Bo-
napartst paper during the election, but is not
an administration supporter now. 1t was the frst
penny paper issued in France, and has by far the
largest circulation Of any Of the Partisan journals
but has no remarkable reputation for the authent-
city Of It's news or its credit with the government
The paragraph itsslf bears internal marks Of have
ipg been written with extreme carelessness. 1t
alleges that sc the French Government charged our
Minister at Washington to announce to the Amer
''iean Government that the indemnities claimed
Tby Mr.. Porel would bs kept ont Of the annui-
I" ties, amounting to twenty five millionsof francs,
"yet due from France to the United States.''
Thiswouldb be very curious g official - language,
for it betrays an utter Unacquaintance with the
correspondence between M. Poussin and Mr.. Clay
ton, in which no such pretension is set up, and a
curious ignorance of the fact, that all the install
ments e annuites y Of the French indemnities to
the United States have been paid more than ten
years! The Presse adds: It appears that the
''leter written on the subject by NJ. Pousain was
couched in ather unsuitable language, of which
" the French Government, without surrendering
g the claim, has expressed its disapprouql"
This is evidently no affirmation of any new po-
sition taken by the government, but an editorial
comment upon the stale of the question presented
in the pspsTs. 1t probably is meant only to dis
NJ II
Of M. Poussn.
There is no other paragraph in any of the French
papers referring to this subject The telegraph
correspondent evidently made great blunder In
treating this any sign of the opinions or purposes
Of the French Ministry, and accordingly all the
newspaper speoulations 10 which it has given rise
are wasted.
There is a more reliable, or rather much more
probable rumor, that Mr.. Rives has written home
that the French Government will not sustain. M.
Poussin. This is reasonable, for it would be a
piece Of super1uous irfifability. NJ Poussin hav-
ing been dismissed, there is neither right nor au-
thoritY, or power, any where, to insist upon his
being received, and the French Government have
only to appoint successor to close the controversy
at once, without further disavowal Indeed their
answer would naturally be, that the American
government having decided Tor Itself what were
its rights, and taking into its hands the reparation
of its own wrongs, he's nothing further to. expect
or ask from that of Fiance. We trust, therefore,
that the only French disavowal of NJ Poussin will
be in appointing successor, to renew, in another
temper, the negotiations which NJ. Poussiu Left
unfinished.
The appointment Of NJ Bots LeCompte as Min
lister to the United States is officially announced in
the MOniter but it IS also added that the appoint
ment was made before the government had heard
OF the difficulty here. Thus N. Poussih was in
fact suspended at the time.
