Trouble with the French m,n,>

WIN sMO GHCncH Winlu
A good deal of excitemen, wa. c,' '
through the City by the report .ha, Mr. p "l
sin, the Envoy from France to Our e..
men,, bad received his passports wi,bo0,
ing asked for them, and stocks fell in :.
quence.
The facts, as We have ,hem on good ,mI
i,y are as follows; some weeks sinca ~
Poussin made upon tho Governmen, a, W. %
inglon demand Of indemnify Tor French ~
damaged or captured at Vera Cruz in lb. wa
lean War. Several letters were excb,nS
between the Envoy and Mr.. Clayton ON s''l s
subject. in the course of which the forn.,
dulged in remarks which were deemed ,oi u
lively insulting to our Government. In ,na' r
quence of this The correspondence with !;
was suspended. and copy of The ofFen,i,. I.'
Ter was transmitted directly 10 Paris, with y
expressed wish that be should be ,..,n '
lthoul delay. We are informed tha, N, "
Tocquevills, the French Minister Of Po,.;
Affairs replied, MAINTAINING the same o,onIs
as had been taken by Mr.. Poussin, and %
Ginning TO recall him. Il. is, however, ,,DO'
ed. on the other hand, that no answer ba, r..
recelsed from Paris, but thar, having wan.5
sufficient Tine in vain, the dissmal of lbs p
yoy has taken place but we have reason, /
suPposing the version we have given sbo,.
be more authentic. Il was. no doubt hi.
matter which carried The President so sud1..
ly back TO Washington from his Northern n' /
We are told tina. The question Of Mr.. Rlvs,' a
ception al Paris was moi involved In The ,F,t
|. has been said that Mr.. Poussln rscrir.,
his dissimal some days since, bul We undo,
siand that such was not the case. Hs h.
been staying in this City recently, and left b,
Washington yesterday.
The lrgale Portsmouth, under orders for Il.
Mediterranean, was yesterday counlermaDd.I
by telegraphic despatch from Washington
This is supposed to havs some connection win l
the difficulty.
Al q recent meeting Of the Cabinet il va,
decided that the posilion taken in reference ~
the question ou, Of which this affair hs, prOvu /
could not be receded from. We presume hi,
Is as !. should be, and though il may seem p /
render the issue more grave, il i, not TOO much
10 say that there is no danger of seriou. ruu
of day the United States and France are mI
going to war about such matter. We hanI
no fear for the national honor in the hand, il
Gen. Taylor and his Cabiner, nor is our conf
cence in this respect any the less because vi
believe this question will be sellied by peaceu
negotiation, wiihou, serious harm TO snyboiy
except the frightened sellers of stocks, and o'
losses of that sort we cannon feel any v.r L
deep sympathy. There will be peace, and
honorable peace of tina, let everybody be a,
sared.- Tribune, Sept l9.
"A Telegraphlc despatch from Wash /
ingion, larer than the above, says that The io- /
lowing is a true slate of the affair between our
Government aud the French minister: Duna!
a correspondence which was mol in relation to |
Mr.. Riyes' reception in France some highyE
offensive remarks were made by NJ POuala
10 Mr. Clayton, which the latter nclosed in.
letter 10 Louis Napoleon, demanding The recall /
Of NJ. Poussin. The necessary time harH.
I,anspired, and no answer being received frOn
France, Nj. Poussin was notified on MONDAY {
Iha, his passports were a. bis service, and thai
The Presiden. would no longer receive him.
A Washington letter alleges that
France, as a" Republic" has, from the
first, esinced her dislike of the United States
The feeling has no, had the flimsy veil Of d.
plomaiic courtesy thrown overit |. has stood
ou, plainly, paIpably. openly. Upon what c.
rasion, since France has had President, hu
The United States been mentioned as we hadi
right to expect! Was i. in the Presidents
address, where, in referring to the naIlOn'
which had recognized her independence, OG
country. the frs, to acknowledge her, was nH
even alluded to!"
