HosTILE FEE1INa OF TIE TRENcu Pres
IDBNT.-Some week or ten days ago the
New York Courier and Inquirer Informed
the public, IN very general terms, that a
probability of war with the United States
mad been intinlated in France, as coming
from an influential quarter. The Courier
Of Tuesday is more explicit, giving names
and particulars, as follows:
awe understand that as long ago as in
May last, Mr.. Rush, our minister in Paris,
wrote to Mr.. Clayton, our Secretary of
State, that the President Of the French Re-
public had declared, that if France was to
engage in war with any power, il wouhd
be withthe United States. The despatch
in which this fact was stated bore date the
Sd of May; and on the 18th OF May, NJ
Poussin made the peremptory demand on
Blr. Clayton, avowedly under instructions
from the French Minister of Foreign At
fairs, for satisfaction for the insult offered
to the French flag by Commander Car
pender
"M. Poussin distinctly claims to have
done and said nothing more, in all this
correspondence, than explicit and impcra-
tive instructions from his own government
obliged him to do and say. These several
facts, viewed in connection, are thought to
warrant the interference that the French
government regards the detention of the
Eugene as an insult offered to the French
flag; that satisfaction for that insult was
demanded and refused by the government
OF the United States; and that, setting the
dismissal OF his minister entirely out of the
question as an unimportant incident, Louis
Napoleon may deem it due to the honor
OF the French nation to prosecute the de-
mand even to the point of open war; and
MIR. Rush's despatch is referred to as evi-
dence that he intended 10 do SO from the
very beginning"

LAWYERS IN California.-Capt. Tobin,
on his way to California, is writing letters
for the Delta. From one dated Tobago,
we extract the following:
Of nearly two thousand passengers now
between Chagres and Panama, there are
about six hundred lawyers, and of them
four hundred 60 out with the expectation
OF being returned to Congress, Or the Leg
islature at least; seventeen are election
eering for the gubernatorial chair, and
twenty one embryo senator's are already
calculating the savings to be made on the
mileage allowed by Uncle Sam from San
Francisco to Washington, and back.
