There are in both England and France as we

Of the above Address, and our Paris correspondent
thinks that /" the American people generally will
not fail to find much that is Objectionable in its

great deal of attention in England, and which it
may crafty the curiosity Of our readers also TO see.
We therefore copy it below.
We learn from letters received in this city that
it was M. KossUTHs desire to stop at Naples,
Genoa, and Marseiles, in which places he claimed
TO have many friends to his future European enter
prses and he is said to have manifested much
dissatisfaction that the frgate Mississippi was not
permitted by her orders to touch at those ports, in
tmating that he was thereby 81 prisoner still, =
and suggesting that the desired indulgence would be
sanctioned by the people" if the Government
should disapprove it.
