TEE FRENCH LETTER.

The admirable letter Of Messieurs Gasparin,
Cochin, Laboulaye, and Martin, to the Loyal
National League of New-YOrk, which we
printed last week, and which 10 reader Of The
TRIBUNE can have overlooked, deserves o far
wider circulation than il can obtain through the
columns Of any one journal. IL is a document
Of such value that loyal papers in the North
cannot better serve the national cause than by
printing it in full, if possible, or at least by CIV
ing such cOpious extracts "a shall exhibit its
scope and purpose. The letter is not only the
clcarest aud most authoritative assurance yet
received of the hearty sympathy which all that
is best in France gives us; it is also q
cogent and comprehensive statement Of
the causes and circumstances and prospects Of
the Rebellion; it is q yindica;ion OF the
Government, and Judgment upon Secession
weighty enough to be accepted rs an antcipa-
ton Of historical conclusions. 1t traces the
progress Of public sentiment in America, aud
the clear Development OF the character Of the
war; justfes the deliberate advance OF the
President On questions affecting Slavery; fore.
shadows the overthrow OF the domestic insti-
tuition" of the South; scatters 70 the winds its
pretensicns TO be recognized as q nationality,
and its claims upon European sympathy;
regards the aspects Of our great struggle, and
draws from its progress the n,o-' "hoori"E e,,uff-
dence not merely in final military triumph,
but in the solid reconstruction Of the Union on
the basis Of Freedom and of equal rights for all
for repcntant Rebels as well as for enfran-
ehised slaves
Remembering that such words come to us
from four men whoss names are famous all over
Europe for their genius and position, as well as
for their liberal opinions, we ought TO recognize
their significance for ourselves, and take to
heart the lesson they read TO us.
Tho letter ia TO be distributed In pamphlet
form By the Loyal Publication Society OF this
city, and we presume orders 20 any amount will
be filled by them. Bat the effort 90 circulate Il
should be extended and shared in wherever
there i league organization.

We called attention yesterday 10 the decision
Of the Supervisors Committee, that they will
pay no bounty TO reenlisting veterans whose
present term of service expires later than July
I, 1864. As further evidence OF the injustice
ard impolicy OF that decision. we may state
that the GIst SD, Goth, aud G9,h Regiments
which have almost unanimously reonlisted are
now in the city, and are all denied their bounty
by the SUPERVISOR rule. The result VIII prob.
ably be that the regiments VIII roenilst else
where. and will not be credited on the quota Of
this city. The GJth has already arranged to go
10 queens County, if the Secretary of War
gives permission, as it il expected he will do.
In like manner, the 6lst and 63d viii, if per-
mttod, 90 to Albany, where the Supervisors
nave expressed desire to reccye and pay them.
4 dispatch has also been received from M au.
thorized agent now in the Army Of the Poto-
mae, who telecraphsthet the soldier have been
informed OF the Supervisors decision and that,
if persisted in, it will prove fatal TO rejnlist-
mcnts in that army. Nearly all our regiments
60 out Of service after July 4, ard either the
'oi"''iS VIII w Sio''i' "'NVhN"' VIZ 'V'"'
hstmcuts will he stopped. No reason il given
for the adoption Of the rule that can for a mo-
mcnt be weighed against such facts rs these.
Indeed the case is SO clear that We cannot
doubt that the Supervisors will reverse the de-
cison Of their Committee. If not. the soldiers
will lose their bounty, and New-York will lose
tho credit Of present establishments on her quota
under he approaching draft.

The 5ith and both Massachusetts, Regiments
(colored) have declined to accept the additional
pay which vas voted by the Massachusetts,
Legislature, in order to put them on the same
footing with white troops. These high-spiritcl
negroes affirm that they have not sought equnl
pay for the sake of money. What they seek is
recognition as soldiers of the United States, and
they will neither accept the inferior wages ut

another source.
We observe that The Boston Daily ddreniser,

journals, recognizes aud applauds the generous

iSat tho country will finally adopt tho simpler
plan. and that this is the golden future which
wc will some day reach, wc heartily indorse and
accept the plan which has been proposed by the
Secretary and adopted by Congress. Let it be
tried-if it haze errors, they may no corrected.
Radical changes arc only necessaryto cure radi-
cal evils.
One thing is certain: the people of Tho United
States will sanction no scheme OF finance which
does not permanently and cfectually take pos
session Of the currency of the country. 1t will
not be endured, while the Nation is burlened
with an enormous debt, that SO large circula-
ton as that now enjoyed by banks--one hundred
and sixty millions Of dollars--shall be left to
them to their sole profit, when by just SO much
will tho Treasury Of the United States be re-
licyed. II matters not how wise the manage
ment or how numerous the stockholders Of such
banks. The currency act Of the Secretary pro-
poses to leave to them the circulation, provided
they base it upon United States bonds. He
only insists On its uniformity. The people
would hardly be content with less. We hope to
hear no more grumbling. Congress will hardly
retrace its legislation without a fair trial. We
bespeak for tho new financial policy the cordial
support OF all loyal, patriotic men.
