We find in letter. written also from this city for the
Philadelphia Sun. by one Of the numerous spendiaries
Of the cabinet the following extract:

that the honor and dignity of the American government

Setting aside the disgusting sycophancy displayed by
the writer towards the Secretary of State single ex
preston reveals important secret with regard to this
affair The French minister is denounced as .'red re.
publican" That explains the personal preudces OF the
Taylor regency against him. M Poussin is known 10 be
ardent republican, devoted 10 noble system Of gop
ernpeat aud If he resident of the United States
as he is now naturalized citizen, he would in all
probability be warm and ardent democrat Hence
the dislike OF the Taylor cabinet to him. The minis
ter of Russia who, in his congratuatory address TO
the President after his Inauguration, assured him
OF the extreme pleasure which his "augast MASTER The
Emperor Nicholas, the butcher Of Hungary felt for the
success Of conservative principles" in the election of
General Taylor, is, have doubt, much more ac-
ceptabe to Mr.. Clayton and his compeers Mr. Clayton
never rebuked that gross insult to the dignity and
jesy of the American people, through the person OF its
Chief Magistrate, contained in the speech Of the Russian
minister. But he is very ready to quarrel with the dem
ocrate republican minister OF France and TO dismiss him
without word of explanation. and then to set his syc
ophantic tools to denouncng him red republican"
These circumstances apparently trfing throw food OF
light upon the motives which have actuated the Secrea
~ OF State in this unfortunate affair. We believe, when
all the facts involved in this controversy developed
it will appear that NJ Poussn, however earnestly he
might have pressed the claims OF his countrymen and
even il his language may not with approval when
tested by the artificial rules of the royal diplomatic
schools neper designed 10 insult The government or

quarrel with him, there would have been none; but
the contrary, everything could have been amicably SET

In saving this we assure our readers that we would
neither pardon nor apologize for Intentional insult 10
