French Comments on the inaugural.

From LIE ConStitutionneL, March 8.
The language employed indicates an honest,
firm, and enlightened mind. We recognize in
it the accents of man penetrated with ieel-
ing of his duties, aud of the responsibility
accompanying the high functions to which he
has been raised by the popular suffrage. That
honor, as he said, he had not solicited; 1t had
been conferred on him by the spontaneous
vote of the majority of electors IN the United
States. He has promised to insure strict exc
cution of the laws, even those on Whlch ne
should have felt bound to set his veto, but
which have nevertheless received the dednitive
conservation of the Congress-. VI shall have
policy TO recommend said he, "Out none to
enforce against the Will OF the country" AND
he added these words, not devoid OF certain
depth :-''I know no method so efectual to
ensure the repeal of obnoxious laws as their
strinpent execution The whole first portion
Of the address is sort of implied condemnation
of the conduct of his predecessor, Mr.. johnson,
who could not be convicted OF having acted con-
trary to the laws, but who had perhaps shown
less adroitness than courage in his efforts to
make his personal views prevail against the re-
sis,ance of Congress. In the second portion
of his speech, General Grant insisted strongly,
as will be seen, on the ooligatlons con-
tracted by the United States with their
creditors, and on the honest execution, of their
engagement for the payment OF the PUBIC deot
Nevertheless, the phrase, ''Prostrate commerce
must be rebuilt and industry encouraged" /" may
give reason to fear lest the new President may
be partisan of the system of prohibitions and
high tariffs, which mode Is assuredly not the
best for encouraging trade. As to what con-
Germs the foreign policy of the States, the Gene
raj has made declarations which cannot but be
Applauded. They are summed up in the words,
al would respect the rights of all nations, and
demand equal respect for our own" SIch, in
fact is the maxim which nations ought to OBJ
serve in their reciprocal intercourse.
From Lie Steele. March 8.
The language of the General is not addressed
solely to the American people, as it goes much
further, crossing the Atlantic, becoming for
those of us who have not lost our memories
the object of very painful comparisons. The
principal question touched on by the new
President is that of the public debt. In the
United States people do not think, as in
France, that indefinite burdens can be cast
of nations is in, direct ratio to the
magnitude of their budgets. "a great debt
has been contracted said the General; ''it
must be liquidated.n And he added that, "to
protect the national honor, every dollar of the
tIoyernment Indebtedness should be paid in
rold.n In order to arrive at this gigantic reim-
was not less than So, $50 OOO 600. Mr.. Grant asks
for DO exceptional measures; ne tnlnks tGat
strict economy and a careful collection OF the
revenues OF the Republic would suihce. This
is the way finances are aomlhisteFeu III Tree
