UNITED srATEs--TnE BONDS BETWEEN AMERICA AND
FRANCE NOT EASILY BROKEN.
FROM the Paris Constitutional, Dec. 81
That which iaatses the London Times and inspires the
pot with gratitude appears insufficient for French
journals and that neutrality advocated by public opinion,
and recommended by he Political traditions of Erlnce as
ret as by her commercial and financial Interests, must be
deliberately departed from, and the imperial government
will not satisfy that portion Of the press unless jos is
sqaddfOns 10 those of England ia order 10 crush he United
States Thoe unjusfGte suggestions happily Without

French interest is compromised In any way involved

tParis (Dec. 81 correspondence Of London Herald
Apprchensons seem to be entertained in many quar-
ters here that the French government intends avang
itself Of the bdrdssne caused in England by the war
with America TO carry out its annexation designs From
an article communicated by the authorities the Deas

dation The article states in substance that France is
entitled to the territory in dispute to the con
clusion that she should first take possession Of and ne
gotiate afterwards-f Switzerland thinks Of to do So
