Tha Poussln AfEair-Nol settlea.


The congratulations Of the press Of this country,
on the settlement Of the difficulty with France, by
the official disavowal Of NJ Poussin's oOnduct,
are premature at least The details Of the intelli-
gence by the Europa, steamer, have reached US in
full, and they not justify the reports of the tee
graph. There is not only no evidence that N.
Poussin has been disavowed, but a, presumption,
from the language employed in official quarters,
that there is no design TO censure or disavow him.
1t is true that successor has been appointed, but
it is also true that the French Government through
its official organ, has taken pains to have it known
that the appointment was made before the know
ledge of the-afair al Washington had reached the
Government The announcement Of the change
of Ministers was made about the time that thenews
from America reached Paris; and the concurrence
of the facts, in point of time, raised among some
Of the French journals spirit of opposition TO the
Government, as having made an abrupt concession.
to the American demands. 1t was in reply to this
taunt thatthe Moaiteur, which is the official ga
zette, stated that M. Pouasin had been recalled
before his embodiment with Mr.. Clayton had been
heard of at Paris. The explanation amounts to an
official disclaimer of having been Influenced at all
towards M: .Pousaiu BY the complaints Of Mr..
Clayton -
4 There is no d6ubt, from all we find, that the
French Cabinet issore, on account of the dismissal
of the Ministef-Ut from PERSONAL regard for him,
for he seersto be ont of favor there, by reason of
his ultra democratic opinions, which are disagree

Poussin was never informed of the grounds Of com.

never applied TO for any action for the satisfaction
Of this Government, or the Teproyal Of M Podssin.
In This stale Of feeling, the steps towards com
pee restoration Of good feeling are difficult TO be
made. The American Government has preclHded
discussion on the cause of rupture with NJ. P0ussin,
by deciding the question on its own part, and in
Hieting what il judged to be q necessary punish
ment Of him. The French Government possesses
no right TO dispute the action Of the American
government, and cannot pretend TO insist on the
reception Of the dismissed Minister or even discuss
the cause Of dismissal. They will send out new

which is closed by the act of our Government and
not liable TO be opened again, except on their mo

easiness and suspicion. Thenew Minister, who will
doubtless come nstTuctsdto discuss the same ques-

The correspondence of the New York Courier
and Enquirer, by this arrival says that The strong
measure of dismissing MI. Rush, in retaliation for
the dismission of M. Poussin, was acsuslly pro-
posed, and found ardent advocates in the Cabinet
1t was NOT, however, approved.
Mr., Rush had an audience with President Bona
paIte on the 10th Of October, and was to leave Paris
for America on the 18th. Mr.: Riyea had not yet
presented his credentials. ss
Mr.. Rush, according to the same authority, speaks
in the kindest and most flattering terms' of the
integrity and ability - Of NJ. de Tocqueyils.
