N, course OF the French government IN refusing
10 allow The German liberals TO pass through net

crisis.
Our own little Pous,in emsuss seems 10 Dc
almost lost sight OF in the commoion oil ire more
important, elements of Western Europe Inc
English papers regret that any such dlihcuny
should have sprung out Of mere point oil et'-
ouete. The European Tines says:
To assume that the people OF France intend 'o
insult the confederation oi The Uniled STATES, OF
,h., me D.enle of America seek 10 offer affron
10 the Fiencn nation by any particular amoassa'
dorial appointments; would be The height OF ao'
surdity. Each Republic is too powerful, 100 con-
scious of what is due 20 ITSELF 10 commit Wllluily
any such wanton breach OF those la VS. OF coufle'
sy and horor which keep the highest ciVi'iZ-u
nations upon terus OF mutual self-'espect and
amily. We therefore al once dismiss iiom our
mind any apprehension Of the result.
The alleged grounds OF the dispute furnish no
cuff lent preext for either parry 10 have recourse
10 arms; and al this moment, when We hoped
that The f,ys oc the Uniled States, aud OF France
and England, would he uniuiled, II required, 10
the Medie. ranean 10 project The Sulau .! Iuf-
lev against The oppI, sion and insiiiols asSies'

be deporabe misfortune tor ihe Whole word
if Two Republics VINO are locked up ~ as the
Champions OF freedom, should hx upon Tbs IN
opporiune moment 10 break out into mCsi un'
timely quarrel.
The London News throws The blame on SHE
imperinence OF an envoy Vi the French Repub-
lie" and adds;

French government, under Louis Phihpe, mum
bled itself 10 lhfeai oi The Amsn-ah ffesiueA
OF that Cay. A repetition Of such hum'lial'on
must, therefore, be sui more disasieeaole, ano
even dangerous, 10 Louis Napoleon. BON sues
ere thus likely 10 prove obstinate, anu u inc

are, however, IN realty, few pon'e al anago'
nism and diversity OF interest between France
and the United States; and war would be such al
ainle.s and absurd policy for buh countries, Iha
any such result may be considered as impossible
as il would be regreiable. Here al leas', Is
fair opportunity Tor mediation, Though those
who quarrel abou; points OF honor are more dit'
scull 10 appease and reconcile Than parties
whose antdgonsm Involves question OF serious
intcres.
The whole matter will, doubtless, blow over
it any faith can be put in The following extract
Of Paris letter 10 the Loadon Standard:
The government is pleased. al all events, lo
get rid OF NJ. Poussin, who had been sent over by
Ledrn Rollip, and il is said that Nj. Marrast OF
M. Thayer Will be the French representative a
Washington as soon as the present dispute shall
be settled"
Thayer, Of unknown fame, it will be seen, was
COMPOUNDED with Thiers, The eminent but unprin
cipled diploma,ist, and profound historian. Ii
was he who levelicd tn, ofi:ial batteries al the
liberty OF the press and achieved The construction
OF The Notifications around Paris, 10 keep down
popular movements. Al he present moment
our people would rot cordially ffaernize with
such mins'er.
