Mr.. Buchanan's Message In France.
IRON the Paris Debats, Dec ~.


Mr.. Buehanan's message is. as to some points
complete ard ~ to others incomplete exposition
Of his home and foreign policy. The President does
not conceal the gravity OF the financial Industrial
and commercial crisis. The only objection to be
made to this part OF the message is that IL does not
sufficiently indicate remedy for the evil the causes
snd deploIable effects Of which pet-picuously
described. The passage on foreign affairs particu-
larry deserves the attention of the European public.
Mr. Buchanan cannot be accused Of showing himself
aggressive or provoking towards those governments
with whom there differences ~ be settled il is
but justice TO say that there is not in the message
trace of those passions, rivalres and pretensions
winch inspired the 0stend manifesto. .
In announcing that the question of the. Clayton
Bulwer treaty viii be settled before long,
the President is completely silent as TO the
reasons upon which he POUNDS that hope, and
he does not to have any other than the arrival
OF the English negotiator, Sir Gore 0useiey.s
The only European power with regard to whom Mr..
Buchanan expresses himself with certain degree
of bitterness Is SPAIN but the differences with that
country TO which he alludes do not 70 be very
important and II IN to be remarked that they have
nothing 10 do with Cuba.
The concluding part of the article notices the en-
tirey pacific character Of the American intervention
in the affairs of China, the insuficiency Of the ex-
plantations regarding the departure Of Walker from
New Orleans, and the implied justification Of the
treaty supposed TO be concluded with Nicaragua, by
the declaration that the United States have greater
interest than any other nation in maintaining the
freedom Of communication across the Isthmus Of Pa
mama and in the allusion TO the possible necessity Of
sending land and sea force to defend tho neutrality
Of the lsthmus.

lead TO the uspc ION that they conquest OF Cuba en-
tered into the designs Of the American people. such
suspicion must necessarily influence the conduct of
the Spanish government and render IL less disposed
to be conciliaioIy
While giving credit to Mr.. Buchanap for the &c
we're terms in which he speaks Of walkers iOibus-

gencer Of the authorities in allowing that expe-
dition 70 start was 20 great Us to alno~N to con

hope that France would consent to less jealous

merely remarks that Il will be- for government to
consider whether IL will be possible, with due re-
gard 30 the interests Of French shipping To meet the
American Presidents wishes.
