cisco the point Of organization and of departure fo
a .fRi5astero attack on Sonora, in violation of ou
laws and Of our neutral relation to the Mexican Re
public it was wrong for the French Consul to coun
tenance and cooperate with Raousset de Boulbon
it was wrong for him to refuse to testify in behalf
of his brother Consul, Mr.. Del Vale; and it was
wrong for him to haul down the flag of his nation
and thus petulantly and wantonly if not for worse
inducements, to put at hazard the peace and good
understanding of France and the United States
These are the grave incidents of the affair." in all
which the United States are the aggrieved party,
and have just of complaint to France against
Mr. Dillon, not France to the United States.
| very simple suppostion will afford pertinent
illustration of the true merits Of the question The
Emperor NArSLEoS feels aggrieved because an ex-
Consul of the United States publishes political ad-
dress in the interest Of the French Republic But
contrast with this act of an Consul OF the United
States that of the actual Consul of France in San
Francisco Or change the case, and suppose that
the American Consul at Bordeaux were found re-
cruitng band Of foreign adventurers there for the
invasion Of SPAIN would that be satisfactory to the
Emperor Of the French? If any American Consul
had been guilty Of tithe of the questionable things
which Mr.. Dillon has done, all Europe would have
been made to ring with outcries against him and
his Government
But, after ali, there is nothing in the Dillon af-
fair which ought to disturb for moment the good
understanding between the French and American
Governments Whether Judge Hoffman erred in
ordering the arrest of Mr.. Dillon, or Mr.. Dillon
erred in refusing to testify, and then abruptly haul
ing down his flag, is matter altogether trivial and
insignificant, compared with the great commercial
and political interests which bind together France
and the United States. 1t may require some dis
cretion in the settlement of the question SO to pro-
coed to reconcile the two things at stake that is
the dignity of the American Government, which is
really and deeply injured by what Mr. Dillon has
DONE when taken altogether, and the dignity of the
French Government, which is also compromised by
the mode in which be resented the act of the District
Conrt. But as the American Government did not
dictate or anticipate the act Of the Court and the
French Government did not dictate or anticipate the
act Of Mr. Dillon, it only requires the exercise Of
ordinary forbearance and good viii on both sides to
dispose of the question satisfactorily to each Gov
ernment.

The three members elected to Congress from the State
of Wisconsin have been claimed anti-Nsbrnska but
the Milwaukee News states that although Mr.. WELLS,
who is reelected in the first district voted against the

nominated him, the paper states put him upon the

NAVAL PREPARATIONS.

Some of the newspapers seem surprised at the
actsity at present displayed in fitting out the ma
tional vessels at the various navy yards. We per-
ceve nothing. unusual in these preparations A
large portion Of the squadron lately on duty in
the China seas is already on its way home; the
Mediterranean squadron has been absent more
than two years. and it is not improbable that ships

THE CUBAN Discomfort.

There is season for the prevalence Of every sort
of mania and among the periodical infections upon
the quiet reader. We may note the Cuban story.
About every six months we have marvellous ae-
counts of the discomfort of the Cuban Creoles and
their plans for throwing off the Spanish yoke. We
now have news Of the recent capture of two Anne
rcan schooners laden with arms for the dissatisfied
inhabitants, and find that they were in charge Of
two natives of the island who were conducting them
to their destination reference to the conduct of
the Cubans, when Lopez risked himself and his
party Tor them, ought to satisfy every rejecting
mind fhat American sympathy is altogether mis-
placed The Creoles wear their yoke with perfect
dGcility, and have not invited our people to relieve
them OF it, Fillibussering sympathy has very
much the aspect of avariee aa#
A letter from Havana to the Editor of the Sa-
yannah Republican describes the boxes landed from
one Of the vessels mentioned as containing from
two to three hundred stand of arms. The writer
says:
It is utterly impossible that any successful attempt
at enancipatca from Spanish domination can ever be
made by the Creole population Of this island, Although
