whatever between the President and his constitutional
advisers or among tboee advisers themselves
ing the policy that has been pursued and which is now
prosecuted by the Administration in regard to the I'M
happy disturbances existing III the country. The path
Of Executive duty has TINS far been plainly marked
out by stern necessity 10 be mistaken while
the solemniy Of the great emergency and the respon-
sbilty it involved have extiUguisbed in tue public
councils every emotion but those of loyalty and patriot
ism. 1t is not in the hands Of this Administration that
this Government is to come to an end at ALL much less
for want of harmony in devotion 70 the country NJ.
Thouvenels declaration that the United States may
rest well assured that no hasty or preciptate action will
be taken the subject of the apprehended application
OF the nsurreconists for recognition of the ndepen-
derce Of the socaed Confederate States is entirely
satisfactory, although it was attended by reservation
of views concerning general principles applicable to
cases that need not now be discussed In the unofficial
conversation Mr. Faulkner says that he himself ex-
pressed the opinion that force would not be resored TO
to coerce the socaled seeding States into submis-
zion to the Federal authority, and that the only
solution of the difficulties would be found In such
notifications of the Constitutional compact as
would invite the seeding States back into the
Union, or a peaceable acquiescence in the assertion
of their claim to a separate sovereignty. The time
when these questions had any pernency or pausbilty
has passed away. The United States waited patiently
while their authority was defed in turbulent assem-
bles and insdous preparations willing to hope that
mediation offe ed on all Sides would concilae and IN
duce the dsalected parties to return to better mind,
but the case il now altogether changed. The insur-
gents have instituted revolution with open, Hagran,
deadly war, 10 compel the United States TO acqlesce
in the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Union. The United States
have accepted this civil inevitable necessity
The constitutional remedies for a the complaints OF the
insurgents are still open to them, and will remain go
But on the other hand the land and naval forces Of the
Union have been putinto activity TO restore the Federal
authority and to save the Union from danger.
You cannot be too decided or too explicit in making
known 70 the French Government that there is not
now, nor has there been nor will there be any-the
east-idea existing in this Government of suffering
dissolution of this Union to take place in any way what
ever. There will be here only one nation and one
Government, and there will be the Republic and
the same constitutional Union tlat have already sur
vyed dozen national changes and changes OF govern
men in almost every other country. These will stand
hereafter as they now, objects Of human wonder
and human affection You have seen, on the eve Of
your departure the elasticity Of the national spirit the
vigor of the national Government and the lavish de-
vcton Of the national treasures 10 this great
Tell NJ. Thouyenel, then, with the highest consdera
ton and good feeling that the thought Of dissolution
Of this Union peaceably by force has entered
into the mind of any candid statesman here, and ii Is
high time that il be dismissed by statesmen in Europe.
