So we going 20 have war with France, il
we are to believe the Northern journals published
in the large commercial cities; war, TOO, grow
ing out of matter that enough to make horse
laugh | have seen, with great deal Of surprise,
the studied importance which has been given to
the fare.up between M. Poussin, the French
Minister, and Mr. Clayton, the Secretary of State.
The technical difficulties have all been related
with or less accuracy IN the North american,
OF Philadelphia, and in the Courier and Engxver,
Of New York. The North Am9icaa, believe, Is
morigaged to the Secretary Of State for loan of
thirty thousand dollars. and Mr. Morton Menu
chael, one of the editors, has been furnished from
the State department with all the particulars of the
difficulty, and communicated them through his
own columns, and also those OF the Courier an9
Enquirer. 1t is more absurd and ridiculous
affair than anything that has yet taken place in
diplomacy, and il only be parall-led by the
fare-up IN the first cabinet of General Jackson,
which was so well managed by Mr. Van Buren, ia
that day to make him the favorite Of Old
hickory. If difficulty should grow ont of this
matter, between the United States and France, it
would only be a repetition of the same profound
