the conuptions and prescriptions Of the cabal who now
rule the country in the Of General Taylor. but also
to exhibit 10 the people the weakness and bunders Of their
foreign policy. Although patriots we would have
much preferred that the conduct OF the caba had been
such TO command our appreciation and support. yet
We have not shrunk from the faithful performance Of
the duty which our position here the capital imposed
upon U.S. unpleasant and dsagreeabe as it has been We
have exposed fearlessly and with all the industry in
power, the and msdeeds Of the cabinet We have
aagned the cabinet the bar OF the country for those

recent intelligence from France shows clearly the fact
that Mr. Clayton, in quarreng with Mr.. Poussin, and
refusing hold intercourse with him the minister OF
France played directly into the hands OF Louis Napo
