 Ma. EprTon. The ruusox that our Government has dismissed Major Poussrs. the French Minister. is the topic of consersation a every circle and is the cause of some exciiemept. What the cause of the difeai,y was, one, uaso0neeted with the sd- minis.raioa, can officially know; but the eprrezpon- dents Of the Baltimore San speak wila such eonfi- denee, and so eiFeumsssasiay that it is generally believed thai their information is derived Aom a high source. Frem these gather that, ia May last, Msisf PousslN addrssssd note to ihe Secretary of State in relation to the eoadaet of some Ametean officer, which nnte was deemed dsSespecifsl, aud the Minister was spprixed oft. On friendly sug- res,ion, it was withdrawA and one of mitdeT tone substituted. The conduct of the officer vas iHves- tigased sad proof oF his innocence was furnished to the Minister. Another letter was written to the Secretary far more disrespecifa than the first. This was forwarded to the French Government. with request tha, Maios P. be recalled. The answer of that government was unsatisfactery--hepest the re- solve Of the President to terminate his mission by dlsmissing hIn; or, iR other words, to inform him that his passports were ready. This is the version which is given by persons whose sywpa,hes incline them 10 the administration. It is not to be expee- ted that the cause of the difficulty will be made known until the meeting Of Congress l. has erea- ted some excitement in the eastern cities, affecting the price of stocks but that edeet can be produced by very trifiing circumstance at any time There need be no apprehension of serious interruption of friendly intercourse. There will be no war with France; this thing occurred once before General WASHINGTON, in q similar way, dismissed Mir. GENET. The friends of Gen. TAyLoR should con gratalae themselves that he has redeemed of hes pledges: to follow the example of the earlier Presi dents. His title to the sobfiqaet of the "Second Washington" is now vindiealed.
