New Orleans Picayune the suboined editorial in reference
to subject which, from time to time, has excited much
discussion

WASHINGTON NEws.- Washington, June
27.-Count Sartiges yesterday mad all official
interview with Secretary Cass, during which
he rendered the fullest aud most satisfactory
disavowals of all completely by the French
government in NJ. Belly's project in Nicara-
qua AMI Central America. The Union, in
noticing the subject says Involving as
the operations of this parsonage did, If they
had been official, clear violation of the we'll
known policy of his government in regard to
European civilization and the establishment
of exclusive European Jurisdiction on this
continent, it was not to have been supposed
that the French government could have au.
thorzed the action which has been taken by
M. Belly in Nicaragua. The Administration
contemplates ordering larger naval force
than we have heret ofo1e had in the waters of
Central America and the Gulf, not on account
of any new demonstrations of interference by
foreign powers in that quarter, but with the
general design of more etfectually protecting
the lawful rights of our citizens, and guarding
our national interests from jeopardy"
The Union of this morning congratulates the
country on the most suspicious settlement of
the visit or search question.
