A short time since statement appeared in the
Washington correspondence Of the HERALD that an
agent OF the great banking firm of Rothschllds had
arrived In this country and submitted an offer to
loan the government all the money they required to
iquldate the debt at an interest OF four per cent.
The truth Of this statement has been reelected upon
by nearly oil yourcontemporares. Ihave to-day seen
q letter, purporting to be from M. Frlguet dated
from New York, to friend in this city, In which he
makes use OF the following language:-
The proposition and correspondence relative
thereto has been conducted by me direct with the
ment in the HERALD was evidently the result OF
jealousy on the part Of the Secretary Of the Urea.
snry, who had not been consulted in the matter. l
return to France tomorrow but yet believe the mat
ter will be successfully carried out.
M. Frguet is said to be partner In the Roth
schilds' banking house OF Becker Brothers, and was
for many years the spirit OF their Paris firm. The
President being out of town at present OF course
/ have no means of ascertaining whether NJ Friguet
has had any correspondence with the head Of
the government On the subject referred TO-
Departure of Speaker Blaine.
Speaker Blaine, who has been here for several
days fitting up his residence for the winter, left
tonight for Maine. He is OF opinion that the com.
ing session OF Congress Will be harmonious and that
business VIII be despatched with unusual celebrity.
The chief subjects OF interest he thinks viii be the
financial question and the funding of the public
debt.
