PARIS, Sept. 5, 1858.
The Constitutional at last has well
weighed and really impartial article on
the kosta-Smyrna' Ingraham- Week becker
affair. 1t considers that there are wrongs
on both sides, but that Austria set the
example by fragrant outrage, in neu-
trail territory. 1t thinks that the matter
ought to be speedily settled, and that the
French government has right to demand
conclusion, Saddled as it is with the re-
sponsibility Of keeping the prisoner safe.
1t considers that an impartial a1biter
would declare both the parties equally
culpable and equally justifia bic, and would
sentence both to share the expenses. and
1t advises Austria to consent to Kosta's
departure for America, and to hope he
may always remain there. This view of
the case is fairer than should have ex-
pccted from an organ of Louis NAPOLEON s
government, and have no doubt it is
shared generally by even the members of
the present regime. All parties and in
dividuals are anxious for prompt solu-
ton of the question.
The Charlr0ri, which takes strong
American ground in the matter, and pub
fishes powerful articles in its own pecu-
liar wen, has had two upon the difficult
ties experienced by Austria in finding out
practicable mode of making war upon
the United States. There is nc overland
route to America, and the Austrians have
no feet. Neither has America, for that
matter.) The Field -Marechal deputed to
discover safe method of attacking the
western savages, comes to the conclusion
that the Americans are saucy, because
they are out of the way. just as the
moon Is some times impertinent and
throws rocks at the earth, because it is
high up and out Of reach. The Sarans
call these missiles arolites, so as to cool
the earth's indignation by scientific
name. But they are rocks, nevertheless.
Austria is angry, too, because it can find
no American refugees any where, upon
which to wreak its vengeance. Strange,
that there should be no American refugees,
for thirsty Austria, while there are AUS
trian refugees, Hungarian refugees, French,
Polish, Russian, Prussian refugees. Its

You will have heard, by the previous

days before, at prices which necessitated
a rise in those Of the manufactured article.

pay the difference. You can easily ap-
preciate the Importance of this decree
when you remember what prcpondcra-
ting element bread is in Frenchlnan's
household economy. Ii is the foundation
upon which every meal is begun and
contlnued-it is the keystone to all
repasts, whether at the board of the rich
or at the table of the poor. The ncs.
edict, however, only effects the weighed
bread-the family biscuit, and the petu
pau of snowy whitencss with its crisp
crust, is priced by the baker and not BY
the Government. And yet spite of the
great Importance of this emphatically so
called "staff of lite," the insults which
are daily heaped upon it are something
astonishing, and to the uninitiatcd may
appear exaggerated, nevertheless, they are
only too true, and may be witnessed by
