AroLoGr.-A little six-by-ninc, dirty-looking
sheet, which calls itself the newspaper rcprcscn-
tativc of Ia belle France in New York, is very
much offended because, in describing the polti-
cal knowledge or character of the French, we
called IL "half man half monkey" We believe
this il slight mistake in philosophical accu-
racy, and we apologize accordingly for the
error. We meant TO say that the political
character of the French nation is a historical
development consisting of "half tiger half
monkey and that, never being, like the Anglo
Saxon race, capable of sclf-governmcnt, they
must always have master to manage them,
like Henry the Fourth, or Louis the Fourteenth,
or Napoleon l., or Napoleon I'LL, in order to
make them enjoy a political civilization, or
prevent them from taking of each Others heads,
as they did in the time of Robcspicrre. The
advanced civilization OF the French people in
in many other respects we acknowledge, cspe.
cially in the fine arts, such as cooking, dancing,
dressmaking, painting, music, thoatricals, prlo-
sophy, infidelity, &c, &c, &c.

re- THE Hos. BooBY Books Is dlspleesed
with our remarks on Tiemann's election. He
loses his temper, and uses very naughty Ian
guage-qrite unbecoming a sensible BOBBY, as
he Is. Before and since the recent election, we
have treated Mr.. Tiemann with the respect due
to his known qualities and character, both as a
politician and paint manufacturer. The Hon.
BOBBY and his eofrtrcs monopoized an such
epithets IA "forger," thief" rascal, =
" scoundrel," scamp" "villain," "knave,"
NC, &c. These terms belong only to a past
civilization, or a very low strata of existing
society They may be on level with the
