Friendly Frenchmen.

WARRINGTON, June IO.-Secretary
Blaine to-day transmitted to Congress tho
ofiioial report Of General Franklin, United
States commissioners general to the Paris
expedition. General Franklin says that
the United States section received high
praise from the President OF the French
Republic and the ministers who visited the
exposition officially, and also from the
iurors. The general appreciation Of 1t is
shown by the large list of prizes awarded
to Americans, q large proportion Of
which were high ones. The French au
thorities have been very generous, and the
larger number of decorations presented to
United States citizens than TO those OF any
other foreign nation is an evidence no,
only Of the kindly feeling of the French
toward tho United States. but Of the high
appreciation Of tho French government Of
the exhibit OF tho United States.
