ANOTHER wIsEACRE CoRREs-
PONDENT TURNS UP.

The American correspondent Of Gaiignd-
mis- MeSssagcr, published at Paris under
date of Philadelphia, Nov. "a, says the in
dignation Of the American press did not rep
resent American public sentiment against
England for her bad faith towards us during
| the war that "no administration, however
popular, no minister, however venerated, can
lead the American people to war with Eng
land, and, finally, the astute correspondent
quiets the nerves Of his Austrian and French
readers with the declaration, which will as.
tound the aborigines of this country that
$50 far as the United States is concerned
Maximilian may be regarded as firmly Seate d
on his throne"
The correspondent of the Messenger has
much to learn yet about American affairs
He will understand in time that neither our
President nor venerated Minister of State
has any desire to "lcad tho American people
to war" with any country. Their efforts
are applied to the great work of honorably
avoiding war and keeping peace. If the
Messenger'S correspondent wishes to ascer-
tain the real sentiment of the American poo.
pie towards England for her manifestation of
bad faith, let him attend any of the popular
assemblies where the subject of "England's
neutrality" is alluded to and discussed, and
he will then learn that the press was mild in
its attempt to reflect the deep indignation of
our people towards England.
The idea that the usurper MAMMALIAN
has any sympathy from the United States is
too absurd for comment.

FREncH eossm ABoUT THE AP-

WRENCH GOSSIP ABour THE AP-
PoINTMENTi OF GEN. LOGAN
TO MDxICO. Mt - FL 4
We give the following gossip from the
Paris MemoTai DiplomattgUc Of Dec. .: &.
We learn from W ashington that President
johnson has spontsneously given to the
Minister OF France the most reassuring ex-
plantations as to the character and bearing Of
tho recent measure by which Gen. Logan
was accredited m representative or the
United States to ex.President Juares. Ac.
cording TO our correspondents, Gen. Logan
Is friend Of President johnson, and the
functions he has undertaken will be remune:
rated; but that he win exercise them al
Washington and not near the person Of
Juaroz. In the second place, this measure
is said to have been adopted for some pur-
poses, with n view to facilitate and strength
en- the position Of President johnson and his
Cabinet in presence Of the Congress, and as
an apparent satisfaction given to the radical
party, which is making great efforts 10 force
on the United States policy hostile to the
Mexican Government. Lastly, our corre-
spondents add that the step taken by Mr..
johnson is not without precedents in Eu-
rope, and that these precedents will con-
tribute to show its real character. Thus
Spain, Bavaria and Saxony have all very
lately maintained their respective repre-.
sentatives about the person Of the King OF
Naples, Francis H., and yet neither declared
nor made war against Italy. Each State
may therefore show certain personal atten.
tions, and keep them in the limits Of inde-
pendenoe, without at all affecting Its foreign
polioy

OF any other State. Let the Southern State
allow only their voting population obs rcp-

able confidence to sec the unreprescnted
non.voters admitted peacesbiy and without
serious opposition--as measure Of policy
long before they become dangerous to. the
peace Of tho Commonwealth.
