MR.. CONSUL WALSH.

We mentioned, Wednesday, that Mr.. Robert Walsh
in his correspondence with the Journal OF Commerce had
indicated himself against the structures which his wr-
tngs had elected in this country 1t seems to be due to
that gentleman that should give place to the following
abstract of his defence by the N. Y Express:
Robert Walsh, Esq Consul at Paris has heard of the
denuncaons against him. and replies and defends himself
in the Journal of Commerce He repels the charge of
his having used his faculties and the supposed
OF his position, against the establishment of the French
Republic sends Tor republication three essays from
Gagnanrs Messenger in which MAY lS4S he sets forth
the American pattern OF constitution and urges the
French to follow It, lie wanted Senate and the elig-
bity OF the President. We quote
"The object OF the writer was such Constitution for
France as might endure the real establishment of the Re-
pubc and not to throw impedments in the way but to
assure the achievements OF the great end Mr. Rush ad-
dressed to the Consul note of hearty Acknowledgement
for such an exposition of American Republcanism which
he described the most comprehensive and satisfactory
compend he had any where Several Of the we'll
read Americans Paris expressed their thanks and graft

members OF the Assembly and the Committee above men
toned. They were strongly complmented BY Professor
Michael Chevaier, in the Journal DIES Debats."
Sometime in the month Of March, the Consul, after
conerrlng with Mr. Rush the matter presented in all
FORMS to the Provisional Government for the walls Of the
Vile tour proof engravngs, richly framed the
dauguerreoype OF the Senate OF the United States two
Commander-n- Chief, and full length portrait of Pres-
dent Polk. The pecuniary value of this offering to the
Republic was between three and four hundred francs
and his essays IN Galgnapfs Messenger had cost him

The Consul adds that such liberals" as Mr. Kino Mr.
R1sh and MIR Buchanan. have approved his course in
Pans; and he publishes letter from Hon. J. R. IngersoIl
TO snow that Mr. Buchanan if he could have ventured to
would have done 1t for him. We quote what Mr. Inger,
soil quotes MIR. Buchanan as having said to HIM
