French Mlschief Making.
We published few days ago, an account Oh 'ns
pueriie indignation manifested By N de oal.se. !.
the French Minister Ut Washington, on sccouns y

which are written from Washington 70 tne Ffencn
Cosyier arsinst our own Government, has popped on

,n ,b,ch ,eribblers suspected to be hand In glove
Nth the French Embassy, constantly refer to the
American Government, show disposition far from
.micsbe on the part Of the servants Of the French
Emperor at Washington. That Government has
been remarkably unfortunate in les choice Of
agents in this country. We had TO dismiss Genet
and rouissin on account of their insufferaoie I'm
pudence, and Monsieur de Sartiges may add sno'
ther to the list Americans may find fault with
their own government but they do not allow
impudent criticisms by the representatives OF To-
reign powers They do not allow these ofnciai
lackeys, no matter how high and mighty their
masters, to draw distinction between the Gov
erument and the people Of the United States, and
they consider compliment to the people, from
foreign source. at the expense of government
which they themselves have made, an insult rnder
n very thin ruise In fine, the insoence and ar.
roeant detneanor of these European representa-
tives upon our SOIL suggest the question why we
tolerate system productive of so little good and
such unceasing annoyances. 1t Is well enough
that the nation should have agents in foreign
countries, but they should be allowed no powers
nor privileges beyond those which Consuls now
possess nor should we permit any foreign coun
try to be represented at our own except in siin'
lar manner. AS for allowing foreign potentate
to set up virtually throne upon our own soi' 10
the person of pleniposentiary, it is much great
or practical grievance than the violation OF the
Monroe doctrine. We trust the time will come
when no European ambassador will ever visit our
SOIL except for special purposes, and then 60 home
again as soon as his business is transacted.
The present French ambassador to this country
N. de Sartiges, appears to be the very embodiment
of mischief and insolence. Instead of cementing
the ancient bonds of amity between the United
States and France, it SO happens that under his
gracious auspices, i'll feeling towards France is for
the first time manfesting itself in the United
States. Apparently, the great aim of the Wash
ingtOn correspondents or the FRENCH 1o'eiumeh'
organ in New York, is to embroil the United States
not with France-but with England In the
event of such q war, France could carry our cot
ton and corn, and become also great manufacturer
Her agents, however, in the United States, are
bungling the matter SO completely, that the people
of this country are fast losing their traditional.
~ animosty towards England, and their tradition
airy friendship for France. Wetrust devoutly that
both England and the United States will disap-
point the subtle intriguer who now occupies the
throne of France, in any schemes which may have
for their object the interruption of friendly rela
tons between these two great AngloSaxon ma
tons.
