they had attributed to his malign influence their
had reception ir France, they were not very
courteous TO the Minister. Neither Of them
spoke 10 him. except Major Mordeeai. and he
but once. The Army Commissioners have
made therr report to the Secretary Of War.
Neither the British nor French Government
have probably felt any particular obligations IN
US for our supposed Russian symPaihies in their

II Is vel known that this French Minister
Sartiyas INDUCES a most cordial hatred towards
this country. It's government aud people, and
he boasts that bis master, Emperor Napoleon,
entertains ike hatred. This same French
Minister on his return 20 Washington, has Civ
en- further evidence Of his malice towards our
Government even to direct interference with
the course OF our criminal Jurisprudence.
Our readers remember that NJ. Dubois, the
Minister of this Government from the Neither
lands, was a witness Of the entire attray at Wll-
lards Hotel, which led to the death of SER
want Kea,ing, at the hands Of Herbert, an NJ.
/ c. from California. Besides NJ. Dubois, not a
man was in the breakfast room where the muir
der occurred, save those directly engaged on
one side or the other. Hence NJ Dubois is re-
ally the only man competent to give dlslnter'
ested version Of the matter. As Forslgn Min
isters are exempt from ordinary process OF law,
the testimony Of NJ Dubois could not be forced
from him, but our Secretary Of State. by for
mai note, requested NJ. Dubois to give in his
evidence. The Minister declined, aud gave as
ares son for so doing, that M. Sartiges, tht
French Minister. protested against his Dubois
: attendance as a witness.
It's said, too, shat Dubois does not hesitate
everywhere to p lounce the act Of Herbert as
deliberate murder, and yet, knowing that sucl
conflict of evidence exists without his testimon,
as to thwart justice, be is pursuaded by tn
French Minister to decline giving his testimony
