hgnant gossip Of the Faubourg 81. GERMAN, Of the
sSmoiers OF the Bourse. and the idle frequsnters
OF certain cafes elicts, il will be SEEN the rsproof
OF tne Moniteur. 1t Is much to be regretted that
the tone of the English press should be Influenced

How often have been told (of course ;r conf

Those who know the present Sovereign of
France are aware that all the foolish stories and

unworthy of contradiction. Those who are ia

to be regretted that journalists should iu any way
sow the seeds of Ill feeling between the svo no.
tions, on whose mutual confidence and respect so
much depends. To diuide France and England is
to arm the enemies Of both countries; and when it
