Our Foreign Relations.
From the Washington Republic of the 2>,b.
THE FRENCH MINISTER AND THE UNITED

IAIES
In consequence Of the rumors and statements that have
gone abroad, in reference TO an alleged difficulty between
Mr.. Ponssin and the Government Of the United States,
it becomes necessary 10 present a narration Of facts, that
might otherwise have been withheld. An attempt has
been made to create the impression. that the circtnstan-
ces, to which we refer. establish, Of necessity, nnfriendly
relations between this country and France. This Is not
The case. Every nation is at liberty TO dismiss any for
eign minister, al its pleasure, on the occurrence Of any
thing which is offensive to its dignity or character -ot
which IL is Itself, Of course, TO be sole Judge. No nation
has ever undertaken 10 resent such a step as a hostile OF
unirendly ACT. The apprehension, therefore. which
seems 10 have prevailed on this subject, are quite uncalled
for. as some nlterior action on the pari Of France will be
necessary to interrupt the amicable relations which exist
between her and the u. States.
On the 9TH day Of February last, Mr.. Poussin in a
note To MIR. buchanan, then Secretary OF State, alleged
that he WIS charged by tho French government with
the prosecution ola claim against the Government Of
the United States, brought by a Frenchman named A.
Port, established in Mexico, for decentralization FIR DANA
ges sustained by him from the acts Of certain agents Of
the army Of the United States. His application was in
the nature Of an appeal from The sentence ola military
court Of inquiry at Pnebla, which had made a decision
unfav0Tahle 10 the claim. . 4..rar artsr Af
No answer was sent by Mr.. Buchanan to this commu.
nicalion. When it was Drought 10 the attention Of the
present Secretary Of State, Mr.. Clayton promptly devoted
himself to Us investigation, with a view Of gratifying
Mr.. Poussin by a speedy decision. Within ten days
from the time it was presented to him, Mr.. Clayton an
nounced 10 Mr.. Poussin, that he had arrived al the con-
clnsion that Mr.. Port had no just cause 10 he dissatisfied
with the award Of the military court of inquiry. This
award, We may add, which rejected Nj. p.rtsl claim.
had been regularly sanctioned and approved by General
Scott. the Commander-i in chief. q ~
Dissatisfied with this decision. Mr.. Poussin, on the
18th Ut March addressed a note u The Secretary Of Stale,
in which he reviewed the supposed grounds Of the dsci
sion, aid anImadVeIted viii soms severity on the teal

VIZ EHSSuOTNeAOfV improvement
YNHE bcgs leave to call the attention ofthe
L public to his new Daguerrean Gallery, which he has Just
completed, and furnished in good style, with an improved
SUNLIGHT, the largest South OF the Potomac, and so
constructed as to graduate the light TO any degree necess Try
to ensure a perfect likeness.
Mr.. w. having successfully applied ELECTRICITY to
his former process Of making Daguerreotypes, Is now ena-
bled to get the action OF Light on the subject, almost instant
~, so as to catch even the most vivid expressions of infancy.
This is a great desideratum, as ii does away with the here
totorelong and tedious sitting, which rendered it almost inn
possible tokeep the mobility OF features. These Likenesses
are far superior in point Of beauty and liie-like expression, to
any heretofore produced, asthe colours are permanently pre-
served, and the picture can be seen in any light.
MIR. w would beg leave to say, that lie was one OF the first
70 nj upskylght, Tor Daguerrean purposes, and beingon oithe
hrst that introduced the protessioni in this country, and his
uccess, both North and South, particularly in Richmond and
Norfolk, where hehas received almost unlimited patronag &c for
the last six years, which has enabled him to employ, constant
ly, tbirteenasslstants and he is now taking annually fromiv
to six thousand Likenesses, which he deems sufficient guar
antee ofthe superiority of his Dagucreotypes.
Particular attention paidto the taking o flikenesses Of infant
Children, Coipse.%, copying of Paintings, Daguerrcotypes, sc.
Great Depot of Daguerreotype Materials at the Richmond
Gallery, and for sale at New York prices.

that so vessels had arrived at that port

Evening.
BIZ C. D. STUART.


The day is gone one golden cloud
Floats softly o'er the evenings birth
And like weary pilgrims shroud,
The twilight droops around the earth
How fair the moon from out the skies,
Filings down her mild and silvery sieams'
And all the stars; like conscious eyes,
Reflect themselves in lakes and streams.
The winds are hushed, the leaves are still,
And not breath the silence breaks,
Save where some zephyr's gentle thrill,
The dew drop from the rose tree shakes.
Yet hear |, far across the vale,
And from the shadows of yon hill,
The Kittydid pour forth her tale,
And sadly sing the whippoorwill.
Oh, holy, calm, delightful hour!
Who feels not tenderer for your sakes
ABBY On angels quickening power
Moon, stars, and music, blending wake.
Delightful hour, nor night, nor day,
But Just that glorious space between,
Which mipgles both-then melts away,
Like dreams which are not, yet have been
How ftly life Is typed therein,
Where darkness gathers round our way,
While far beyond, the light is seen,
Which centres in perfect day.
