The statement said TO be quoted from
European papers that a dispatch had
been received by the French Government
nom the United States Government de
claring that the American republic
would never tolerate, much less recog
nize monarchy at their very doors, is
incorrect, The true position of the ques-
ton will be learned from the diplomatic
correspondence which was submitted to
Congress with the Presidents message,
and is now in press In the meantime it
is safe to say that the question has not
reached the stage described in the fore
going report.
The Minister from Sweden and Norway
Count Piper, in accordance with instruc-
tions from his government, had an audi
ence with the President to-day for the
purpose Of presenting him on behalf OF
the King volume containing engra-
wings of the royal collection Of arms.
This is understood TO be in reciprocation
Of similar compliment of the President
who short time ago presented TO His
Majesty pair of pistols of American
Workmanship. Suitable acknowledg-
ments were made, and mutual good
wishes exchanged for the continuance Of
the cordial relations now existing be
tween the two governments.
