FRANCE AND SPAIN.
PARIS, Aug l..
The Journal OGcie1 Of to-day contains the
following -
"Several newspapers have for some time
directed very lively attacks against The Gov.
eminent with regard to the policy pursued by
it in its relations with a neighbouring and
friendly State. These attacks are the more to
be regretted since they tend to weaken the
authority OF the Government with respect to
foreign Powers, by representing its policy as
contrary TO the interests of the country, when
the Government is directed by precedents and
by an exact appreciation of its international
duties. In consequence Of these articles it is
essential to remind the Press that it may not
overstep in exercising its right of discussion
the dec0rum and moderation which are more
particularly imposed upon its patriotism in
relations between France and foreign coun.
tries"
This Note is, it is said, the result of a some
what animated discussion which arose at the
Cabinet Council with regard to the attacks
specially directed against the Due Decazes by
the Legitimist Press, on account of the per-
mission given by the Government to Spain
whereby arms have passed through French
territory, and especially a quantity Of ammuni-
ton, which was lately shipped on board a
vessel plying between Cette and Barcelona.
The Note, therefore, particularly, and even
exclusively, refers to the Legitimist and Ultra
montana papers, and this circumstance adds to
the significance of this communication which ia
itself is as vague and discreet as are generally
the carefully .worded and much discussed init
NATIONS addressed by the Government
to the French nation. The truth is that
the latest inquiries as to the supposed presence
of Dorregaray in France were set on foot by
M. Buffet in the absence of the Duo Decazes,
and that about the same time the Princess
Margaret, wife OF Don Carlos, instead of going
as usual to Biarritz, proceeded to Trouville.
