ALLIANCE BETWEEN RUSSIA AND THE UNITED
STATES, kTc. ETC.
From the Assemblee Rationale. of Paris. Oct. 81
II is impossible 10 believe that the difference be-
tween France and the United States can become
serious IL is not on account of some hasty notes,
or words OF bad education that two great States
will break their political and commercial relations;
but we cannot but remark how much the choice
OF diplomatic agents Influences the destiny OF ne
gotiations In general, since February, the noml-
nation OF our agents TO foreign countries has been
made without reflection, and II IS sufficient to travel
little, to perceive their objectionable demeanor-
at one time thinking to surprise by naughty Ian
guage; and at another, allowing themselves 10 be
played on by more skiltul dlpomatlsts. The choice
OF agents ID most imp ortant for the success OF an
affair. In that science, men make the things and
characters, create difficulties, or remove them.
The affair of the United States will be arranged !;
but II must not be forgotten that the Cabinet Of 81.
Petersburg has been, for many gears, anr,ous for
the alliance oth A,nerica and that the interest Of
the United States IS, 10 hare maritime position IN
the Medafuranedn, similar TO that Uhtch the Eng
lish hare at Malta in The Ionian Isles Their ram
bition could be satisfied by great war tor the d.
vision of the Ottoman empire. That is still dis
tant in the future, but the policy OF cabinets is pre-
pairing for IT,
IParis Cor. (Oct y of the London Times.l
With respect TO the affair with the United States
and the delivery of his passports to M. Poussin,
may be allowed to say one word as TO the manner
in which 1t appears 10 be viewed here. There Is
no question that the French government admits and
regrets that language unbecoming diplomatic
courtesy has been used by its own minister; but it
also believes that language of an equally, perhaps
more, insulting nature, had been used towards M.
Poussin; and, further, is of opinion, that the de-
mand made for salvage by the American captain,
whose name believe Is Cdrpender is most unu
sual on the part OF AN officer in the naval service
OF any government. captain OF man-ot-war
Il give the opinion entertained by the French go
veTnmenD never expects, or demands, payment
for having repdere d The service mentioned in the
present case. In a word il admits that there were
groSci ret6s de deur cotes, but does approve of
its agent entering into such war OF words. With
regard TO the line OF conduct likely to be pursued
by the French government, believe that, beyond
the cessation Temporary, II Is 10 be hoped) OF dpo
matte relations, nothing more serious will follow.
The far dl iers from that of Sir Henry Bull
wer and the Span h government, that there 10 now
actually no American minister in Paris, nor was
there at the moment the passports were delivered
to M. Poussin. MIR. Rush had been recalled pre-
vIous 10 The occurrence taking place, aud though
MIR. Eives, the new minister, has arrived IN Paris,
believe lie has not yet presented his credentials,
and, consequently, he is not as yet the recognised
minister Of the United States. Neither Is it proba-
BILE that the letters accredtlng him 10 the French
republic will be presented yet awhile. He will,
probably, wait for further Instructions from Wash
ington Should he not do so, and should he de-
mand TO be received by the President OF the French
republic, it Is probable he would not be received
until an understanding be come to on the subject
of M Poussin.
