81 may, perhaps, advert to the circumstances
which have cast transient cloud-but light one,
L hope, upon the relations which exist between us
and our transatlantic kinsmen. United as we are
by ties of common descent, common language, sim
liar laws and free institutions, any misunderstood
ing between us is matter deeply to be deplOred.
The United States have evnced their identity of race
with us by the sensitive jealousy which they have
exhibited in favor of their national rights, but
trust that the representations which have been
made Dy my excellent friend, the Minister from the
United States, and the mode in which they have
been made by Lord Malmesbury, will very soon
restore those feelings of complete amity which have
been suffered by this triling difference"

FRANCE
The following is stated to be an accurate account
of what took place in the first three sitings of the
Paris Conferences:
The first sitting was altogether devoted to the
necessary formalities.
In the second, the question of the reorganization
of the Danubian Principalities was at once taken
up. The discussion was opened by the French plen-
ipotentary distinctly proposing the union in such
way that the institution of the two hospOdars
should be preserved but that there should be only
one and the same constitution, and one and the
same legislative senate for both principalities.
In the exposition Count Walewski inter
rupted by the English Plenipotentiary, Lord Cow
lev, who proposed that a certain order ought to be
observed in the discussion of the different schemes
and that the initiative unquestionably belonged to
Turkey, after which the neighboring States, Aus
tria and Russia in this order could claim to be
heard, while France, Great Britain, Prussia and
Sardinia would conclude the discussion in their al
phabetical order This proposition was supported
by the Austria plenipotentiary, and unanimously
adopted.
But the Turkish Plenipotentiary, Fuad Pacha.
being thus called upon to speak first, had nothing
to say, and confined himself to general assertion
that Turkey wished the affair regulated to the sat
sfaction, and with the consent, of all the govern
ments represented.
The Plenipotentiares of Russia and Austria next
called upon to speak, had likewise nothing to say,
and it seemed that general feeling of uneasiness
led to an early adjournment of the sitting.
At the next sitting, Count Walewski, thinking
himself now entitled to speak, commenced again to
expound the very succinct and detailed proposition
of France, when the English plenipotentiary inter
rupted him again, and reminded the conference
that the initiative belonged to Fuad Pacha. But
fuad Pacha this time positively declared that his
instructions did not allow him to make any distinct
proposition to the conference, and that his only
business was to oppose any proposition including
the project of union
The Austrian plenipotentiary, whose turn then
came, proposed to discuss the organic regulations
had no propositions to make.
The Prussian plenipotentiary was likewise with
out Instructions and he proposed to discuss first the
international law regulating the relations between
the Sultan and the Princpalities
1t became then evident that the state of the in
structions permitted useful discussion at ALL and
the conference resolved to adjourn to the 10TH when
each plenipotentiary promised to be furnished with
new instructions. The conference refused to accept
