The French Difficulty.

Tho French Difficulty.
We give in our columns to-day, in addition to
the details of The news from Europe, complete
history of the difficulty between our government
and the French Minister. 1t published in the
InteHigmcr of yesterday, by direction Of the
President.
The Arrival OF the Cambria-The Affairs or
Europe In u New Phase.
We give in our columns, to-day, the details Of
the European intelligence received BY the steam
ship Cambria that vessel having arrived at this port
yesterday forenoon. This intelligence, although
not as exciting or important, in political point OF
view, as what we have been in the habit of pub.
fishing for the last eighteen months or more, is
nevertheless interesting, and will amply pay for
perusal, in the information which it conveys Of the
condition which that part of the world presents
after the revolutionary STERN which has recently
passed ever it,
But there is no knowing when this state of calm
and quiet will be disturbed. Much depends upon
SPAN, as far that goes; but the conduct Of Russia
will be watched with great deal of interest and
anxiety. 1t is well known that the Emperor has,
for many years, directed his attention to Turkey,
and has, with every show Of reason, been accused
Of entertaining designs against Constantinople
itself. From information Of private but reliable
kind, which we have received by this arrival, we
are almost satisfied that the Car will make an
attempt to carry those designs into execution; and
Il is not Impossible shat before two years, he will
be in full possession and enjoyment Of what his
ambition has for many years craved
Let US explain. The recent struggle between
Hungary and Austria, the manner in which it was
pat down by the Austro- Russian forces, and cir
cumstancs that occurred previous to and after the
Hupgarians were mastered or overcome, all tend
to the conclusion to which we have arrived in this
matter For many years past, the Emperor Nicho-
las has been tsmperng with the affections and 10y
atty of the Hungarans, and he resorted to several
means TO attach that people 10 himself. In almost
every cabin, hut and hsvel in Pennsylvania, the
traveller might suspended on the walls either
likeness of the Emperor Nicholas, or some prlst or
engraving representing one OF his family, or csm-
memorating some incident, historical or otherwise,
with which Russia intimately asseciated.-
THIS was but one ofihe expedients which the nu-
merous Russian emlssaries adopted for the purpose
Of securing the affections Of the Hungarians to the
Emperor Of Russia. II is evident, however, that
these plans did not succeed to the extent desired;
for the peasants joined the Magyars, and fought
with much fury and undaunted bravery against
the Russians they did against the Austrians, in
their recent struggle The fact, however, that the
scheme was tried, and continued up to the time Of
the breaking out Of the Hungarian movement, IL,
we believe, beyond doubt.
Russia having waited till the Hungarians had
proved themselves more than a match for Austrii.
her assistance wns called upon by the latter. and

the united Austrian and Russian arms, and the
last effort for liberty suppressed. Cracow HIS

tonal claims may be put forth by the Emperor, for
assisting Austria IN putting down the Hungarians
end actually saving her national existence, is not
known but it's not unlikely that Hungary will
ere long be rs much part Of RUSSIA as she was Of
Austria. Thus would bring the Emperor Nicholas
much nearer the consummation Of his designs %
Turkey than he ever was, aud almost as close to
il Us he could wish. But the attempt to secure the
sfi,ci Of the Trensy lvsnians having not been
perfected, ard they being brave people, good
soldiers, and excellent tacucisns, as he has good
reason to know, the attempt must be renewed,
snd the feelings Of the lIungarians secured At all
hazsrds. This is being done, as We learned by
the lsst steamship. Georgey, who surrendered to
the Russian forces, has been saved while the
Magyar generals who capitulated to the Austrlans,
have been executed Here is good deal gained
A few days after the surrender, to the complete
asropshment and turprise of the Austrians, they
discovered The Magyar generals and those Of the
Bussisn army dining together at the same table,
and acting in eysty respect as hail fellows well
met. II there are any instiscts Of humanity IN
The breasts Of the Msgyars, they cannot but be
grateful for such conduct, when they compare u
with that pursued by the huftriaps. Again the
Austrisns have always declared add pronounced
the bank bills Of Kossuth as utterly worthless

them, and commanded their generals TO burn and
destroy them Gu every occasion. This was done
but et the same time the commander Of the Russian
armies declared these bulls available and com
msnd,d the Russian officers TO receive them.
These not, $ were circulated in immense amounts,
for ntcesssries for the Iloogarias troops, during
the campaign, and the Magars among whom they
were issued. cennct but be thankful for the great
ben,fts thus conferred on them by Russia.
Whtn we connect all those transactions. we are
Of the opinion that Russia has a deep design in
view. They evidently are directed to secure the
affections of the Trsusylvanans, for the purpose OF
rIonoiina the Emperor's views on Turkey aud
