The New York EUcni,sg Post says:
Gwen the partisan press, which had
swallowed everything labelled Admin

A heavy drain is now being made on
this country by the Bank of France,
the latter having decided to resume
specie payment. For several months

pardon; the law would have to take its
course. He isn't going to order then
out of the State, but he forsees every
serious consequences if they stay.
The Washington RepabHcan sound:
the keynote of the recognition of the
Cuban insurgents by the United Stutei
Government. 1t says that Congress
will soon empower or direct rs the cas-
may be, the Executive authority OF thu
government to take some steps which
will accord to the Tevolutionists on tn,
island a significant recognition. A
this policy will doubtless be a popula
one, there is little doubt but that tn,
Republican party is looking to it a
the battle cry in the next Presidential
election, with the hope that it woul,
help to strengthen it's ranks.
