Il appears that n. Sartiges the French Minister at
Warrington took exceptions to certain expressions
IN the letters written by Mr.. Rives to the United

Mr.. Rives to explain the matter. The reply OF the
latter gentleman is pithy and pointed While de-

dispatches which the French nation could construe
into disrespect he quotes from Mr. Websters letter
70 Chevalicr Hulsemann, to show that N. Sartiges
had meddled with q matter which in no wise,
directly or indirectly, concerned him. Mr.. Rves

most cordial respect by the French President and his
sanctionares; that i'll feeling existed; that an
apology for anything he had said would be an
unnecessary abandonment Of an honorable position;

Contrary to general expectation, no executive
session was held By cur State Senate yesterday It
had been reported that Mr.. Cooley, who has the
power, would assent to the confirmation of the
Governors appointments; but on coming to a vote
