France* Mexico and the United States. The Courrier dn Dinumrhe a$ Paris pnblishwd the following circular letter addressed by M. Drouvu do IJtuys, tho Preach Minister of Foreign Affairs, to the agents of the empire abroad, re - specting the relations of France to the United States. This letter is a sequal to the eerrcspouvl ence between Mr. Seward and Mr. Dayton with regard to the Mexican question : "PARIS, May 1,18C4. Mr. Dayton has called on ute to read to me a despatch addressed to him by the Secretary of States of the Union, in order to delir.e the respon sibility of the government of Washington, and to show that a vote of the House of tiepreseutatives, or of the Senate, or even of the two Houses, while it naturally recommends itscif to the attention of the government, did oblige it to modify its policy and take from it ifv, liberty of action. Mr- Seward sees no reaae a to follow, in the Mexican question, a line of conduct other than that which be had adopted 'Heretofore ; and if his disposition should -jappou to lie modified, we should be di rectly and i'a good time informed of this resolution and its tr.otivcs. "I b"Uvc replied to Mr. Davton that in the opin ion of tho government of the Emperor nothing oouid justify this change; that our confidence in the wisdom and enlightment. of the American cabinet was too great to permit us to suppose it to have any idea of compromising, by thought less action, the true interest of the United States. While expressing to Mr. Dayton the entire satis faction which the assurances he was charged with giving to us caused to the government of the Fm peror, I added that Ithonght, in effect, that even from the point of view of the United States, the choice could not be doubtful between the estab lishment in Mexico of a stable and regular gov ernment, and the perpetuation of an anarchy of which they had been the first to suffer and to point out the great inconvenience. "The reorganization of a vast country which, after the restoration of order and security, is ex pected to plav an important economical part in the world, would be, for the United States especially, a real source of advantage, since it would open a new market to them from whieh they, because of their proximity, would profit more than others. "The prosperity of Mexico would therefore a gree with their rightly understood interests, and I certainly do not believe that the government of Washington could misunderstand this truth.

OhWPER, march 18, 1804—tf HOSTETTER'S CELEBRATED STWttl UTTERS. A pure and powerful Tonic, corrective ani alternative ef wonderful efficacy in disease of the STOMACHH LIVER ANIFBOWaLi. Cures Dyspepsia, Liter complaint, Headache, eenerai de. bilily, Nervousness, Depression of Spirits, Constipation Colic, Intermittent Fevers, Cramps and Spasms, and all Complaints of either Sex, arising from Bodily Weakness whether inherent in the system or produced by special can see. Nothing that is not wholesome, genial and restorative in its nature enters into the composition of Wbstetter's Stomach bitters This popular preparation contains to mineral of any kind, no deadly botanical element; a fiery excitant; but it is a combination of the extracts of rare balsamic herbs and plants with the purest and mild, est of all diffusive stimulants It is well to be forerrmed against disease, and so far as human system oan be protected by human meant against maladies engendered hy an unwholesome atmosphere, im pure water and other external causes, Hosteller's Bitters may be rolled on as a safeguard. In districts infested with Freer and Ague, it has been found infallible as e preventive and irresistable as a rem edy, and thousands who resort to it under apprehension of an attack, escape the scourges and thousands who neg lect to avail themselves of its protective qualities in ad vance, are cured by a very brief course of tbis marvelous medicine Fever and Ague patients, after being plied with quinine for months in vain, until fairly saturated with that dangerous alkaloid, and not unfreqaently re stored to health within a few days by the use of Hortet ter's Bitters. The weak stomach is rapidly invigorated, and the appe tite restored by this agreeable Tonic, and hence it works wonders in cases of Dispepsia and in less confirmed forme indigestion. Acting as a gentle and painless aperients, as well as upon the liver, it also invariably relieves the Constipation superinduced by irregular action of the dL gestive and secretive organs. Persons of feeble habit, liable to Nercon* Attack*, LOK~ of Spirit*, and Fits of Languor, find prompt and per manent relief from the Bitters. The testimony on this point is most conclusive, and from both sexes. The agony of Billious Colie is immediately assuaged by a single dose of the stimulant, and by occasionally resort ing to it, the return of the complaint may be prevented. As a general Tonic, Hostetteris Bitters produce effects which must be experienced or witnessed before they can be fully appreciated In cases of Courtitutionul W'eat- SM, PrLiftture Decay and Debility and Decreptitude arising from Old Age, it exercise? on electric influence. In the convalescent stages of all diseases it operates as • invigorant. "When the powers of nature are relaxed, it operates to re-enforce and re-establish them. Last, but not least, it is The Only Soft Stimulant, being mnnufacturod from sound and innoxious materials, and en tirely free from the acid elements present more or less in in aU tie ordinary tonics and stomachics of the day. No family medicine has been so universally, and it mev be truly added, deservedly popular with the intelligent portion of the community, as Hostotter's Bitters. Prcpar by HOSTETTER A SMITH.
