Q
LATE RUPTURE WITH THE FRENCH MIN
ISTER, AND STATE OP OUR FOREIGN
RELATIONS.,
We copy the following view of tho 'causes of the
late rupture with the French minister, and of the
present condition of our foreign relations, from a
letter Written by one of the Washington correspon
dents of the New York Herald, a leading TaYloi' pa
per. The writer evidently has extensive opportu
nities for obtaining correct information, and seems
to be well advised in relation to the subjects concer
ning which ho treats. We omit the private gossip
with which the letter commences
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.1, 1 ft 19.
not 0.0 true Poufces of the difficulty lie far- be
yond. They may be traced to a diplomatk conspi
racy, the obj. ci of Weil V. as to ictitnize the French
minister, atul to bring about a misunderstanding; be
tween the republic's of Prance and the United States;
for what could better eubserve the purposes of the
monarchists of Europe, and theii• agents at Wash
ington, than a quarrel between the two leading re
publics of the earth?
On the declaration of the French republic r Mr.
Rush, the American minister, promptly, and with
out awaiting instructions, acknowledged the new
order of things, in the name of tho Uniterl States.
But it is not so gene - ally known that it was M0n....
sieur Poussin who persuaded, And finally carried MI,
Mr. Rush to make this acknowledgment upon the
very heels of the revolution.
The provisional government was doubtless apprized
of it, and Were %Nell advised of the thotough repub
licanism of Mr. l'oussin, in appointing hint as the
bucces'or of Mr, l'agent. The French government,
then, intended hi., appointment as a spe6ial compli-'
nest to the United Stntes. Mr. Ponssin had sorted
in our rainy; he tea= almost rermrded as an Ameri
can, from his 1,..-idence and services in this coun
try, and from his I, ptddican opinions. The Amer
ican Pui , ;•'o, z.c(ineinted with these facts, hailed his
[timid ntinew a- /la Ct idOlie;!Of the respeet, gratitude,
and kindly di -I, , ,itidlis of France towards the United

Th'i only position declared was that of neutrality

to Germany unless tinder bonds to keep the peace.
Bonds %sere exacted. Russia and Austria would
have protested tit any interference in the Milks of
Hungary; and Mr. Clayton refrained from inter
teritiee except in dlie most private or innocent forms.
Spain represeetcd, Our - nigh her milliliter, that to
j ..riiit citizens of the United States to embark in a
crusade against Cuba, would be to violate our neu
trality, and the navy was at once called into service,
lied de. patched to arrest the expedition at Rowel is-
Lod, without proof that they had violated our neu
trality, or intended to compromise the government.
An ohsalete law, superseded by the laws of nation-,
was trumped up an the authority. for the extreme ,
'')e) ,ceedinn in snmeart of Spanish misrule in Cuba.
1' this extem thernionarchies were abundantly sat r
is kid. 'Pile cabinet had carried out their pledges
of peace.
At the sante time the main diject of a rupture
between France und the lCuited States was in a fair
~,,Y of accenielbdiment. By an act of social exclu
sion of'a member of his family, a very natural dig
tosition fir revenge had been excited in the breast
of Mr. Pons-in nenin-t the Secretary of State.—
'ne live hundred bales of tobacco of Mr. Port, and
the salvage aslwel by Captuii . l garpender fir saving
a French riel:r, afforded opportuniiies for retaliation.
Sneeze, therefore, as the irritation of Mr. Poussin

key of ex plehatiotes - inakes it perfectly oatmeal, and
. exactly what the old diplomatists at Washington
anticipated. Bill it/ th-e ilk hlllte 1\1:A1 ft they will
lie, perhaps, disrippeinted. There is Ito occasion
for war with Preece. on lei late abOut in It o ' dark,
the cabinet diseet ered that in efiering to their dec
larations of pence, they had wandered from that
tiositiye track of policy which it was their duty to
filllow. They found out that they been conniving
with the depots against 'our own institutions, and
with the same hurry they were ready to retrace

North American and other now ;Japers aga ins 1

ture with Poussin. It is Slid:lV:4 discovered that
Louis Napoleon k tip 2 man. The publieation of
French correspendenc i ze hOwever, and the dismissal
of Poussin, settle the titivation. Nothing less could
be - done; nothing more, probably, will be required.
The commercial treaty projected by Poussin, may
14am - wird fur awhile; but the, cabinet cermet ex

pet!. their hasty interference in the Cuban business
to be hid in the'amohe of a war with France, altheugh
it is possible they inav yet negotiate this punctillie
(tinder the advice of Russia and Spain) into it seri

Here is a question in which our commerce is visually

Pullout ins EFLRAND%—Gen TAYLOR, when on his
recent tour through this' State, says • the Carlisle
nil:sateen declared at Vo.k, (his first landing place
in Pennsylvania,) that the object of his visit was to
"ascertain, by seeing for himself, what our inter
ests demanded ut his hands." Was the President
sincere when he used this language? Let facts de
cide the question. Passing from York to Lancas
ter, Harrisburgh, Carlisle, Chamhersburg, Bedford.
and Greensburg, and from thence to Pittsburgh, a
distance of ahout 275, miles, he never took the
trouble to visit a single forge, furnace, woolen nor
cotton factory—nor even a coal mine. Gen. TAN-
Lon, we therefore conclude, forgot his errand. lie
traveled through the State, front one place to an
other, as fast as a steamer could carry him. His
true object, however, in paying a visit to this State,
was n political one. He was induced to come here
by Gov. Johnston and other prominent men of the
Federal party, for the purpose of raising a political
excitement in favor of Federalism. But in this our
enemies have been disappointed. The visit'of the
Pke•ident will avail nothing:.

med,lthat in the town of St Jonsbury, Vermont, there
are thirty-three jiisticeof whom thirty-two are

of office. No man, in that large town, is remitted
to sit as a magistrate, or to be a member of "the
board of authority," which counts the votes and de
termines the rights of electors, unless lie is of the
hig party! Every ninth Whig is n justice of peace
and one hundred and eighty-five dmiocrats sre with
out a single acting magistrate! And this is the way
things are done; by a party which hus spent half its

the Winnebagoes had become dissatibfied with the

Snelling, had been apprised of their nravemeotti, and
marched a force to intercept them, which they did
at Rico Lake. - It was feared, however, that further
difficulties would grow out of the affair.

man that Gen. Taylor thought was "neither honest nor

a good Jett to soy lately about tho Observer being " muz
zled," &c. Now we shall not reply to any such insinua
tion ; the bold and fearless tone of this paper since we
have been connected with it is ample evidence to stamp
all such stories with falsehood. Every body that knows
us personally, will readily bear witness that it would
take a power more potent than puslossed by Ina*, to seal
our lips on questions we deemed essential to the public
welfare. .11t any rate, it has never boon said of us upon
the streets, as it has been of this who is so fond of
making charges about his neighbors, that by getting hint
to print the Constitution and By-Laws of the Masonic
Lodge, that fraternity had •• hilltd two birds' with one
stone"—one of its members had secured a debt:and muz
zled the Editor, in regard to latt institution, at the same
time. if this street report is correct, and we are inclined
to believe it, from the fact that since the Editor got that
two-and-sixpenny job, he has been as dumb as an oyster
in regard to that institution, it is only another evidence
of the downward tendency of prices, when an article has
beelike /Ong, in market. Three years ago ho was Moro

NEW YORK. —Every thing looks bright in New York

c eetcd. Our Whig friends concede that Penusivunia
will be lost to them on Tuesday next, and with New
York pronouncing against them in November, will nut
the Administration of "Zachary Washington," become
a no-party administration in good earnest. Deafeated in
every contest since the inauguration, with both branch
es of Congress opposed Co it, the administration will be
in a tst embarrassed position—a position, wo cannot
.but think that has been brought upon it by the heedkeg
disregard of its promisee and professions previous to y the

from the secret cantles which led to the dismissal of the

complimentary, to the sagacity, foresight and wlsdom,of
the present administration. W'hothor the causes alledged
to have produced this rupture between Mr. Secretary

manifest to all, that the whole matter has been most bun

WaShington" anti his man Clayton. President Taylor
was a very good General, and a better "fighter," but ho
is most certainly a poor, a very poor manager of our For

with the intention of contrasting ho past course of the
Whig party in every controversy with a foreign power,
that of the Democracy, but to call attention to the
article alluded to, and to introduce some well-tuned re
marks from tile l'ennsyleaniurt upon the Immo subject.
They are as follows:
MEM
TIM BAD Trvrr.ic AND BAD B D
LUNEDS OF
ScenerA
msCt.er tux,—lf war grows out of the French question,
nothing will ho done inure to produce it, thou the hunul
luting, blunders of the viuleut and hot-headed man now
in the Stoto Deparfineut.—llls whole management of
Chet question has hien mai ked by a painful want uf de
liberation, judgment, and tact; qualities without n filch a
stake/Min is merely a nutting politician. We do net
like to eniplby harsh terms even against an opponent;
but we think the course of Secretary CLAYTON has been
eminently indiscreet and blame-worthy, in regard to this
atriir n iii, France. We think it will' appear on exami
nation, that (ho whole CC/Millet of Mr. LrAtrex, has boon
extri - eilfilary and unprecedented—a series of blundois
and explosions of passion. When wo reflect that the
'flirty to which the Secretary of the State belongs, is the
beetle that opposed the recent war, and took strong
grounds evilest what they wore fond of culling the baste
and eagerness °film late administration to embroil us in
difficulties with Mexico, and when we compare the calm
teileeirance end iirtidence that characterized that admin
istration, in reeard to Mexico, with the ill temper and
heady of the present Regency, in regard to
France, (even rifts r allowing to Mexico all the advantage
of indulgence as a weak and distracted State, front which
wo could afford to take much,) we cannot fail to bp mor
tified and amazed. We ate no alarmists.; and wo sin
cerely kepi) there may be no war with France: but when
we regard the manner in which Mr. CLATION has con
ducted the dispute-now festering to a head, the petulance
and impudence et M. Peteisis, (of whom it is generally
said and believed, that he had no intention of giving of
fence to a countly he loves so well, mid Is greatly griev
ed at the present state of things) will be a trifling provo
cation inithe eyes of the people to justify all the exciting
measures that have followed—tending so directly and
almost inevitably to the worst results.
It was an mu pant en able blunder nil the part of Mr.
Cesiree to lug in as a'make weight the tobacco case of
M. foie, after it had been SETTELiD by the withdrawal of
the offensive language by M. I'oussis; and it showed,
that the voluntary publication of that part of tho difficul
ty, which was practically out of the way, was made only
to inflame the public mind, and to provoke bail conse
quences from the real matter in issue.
It is most extraordinark, and, wo believe, entirely un
precedented thing, to publish diplomatic correspondence,
of a character calculated to lead to war between tWo
countries, impel) the Simple request of a newspaper edi
tor, while Congress is not in session. Tho country ckri-,
not fail to contrast the eminent prudonco and propriety
of the administration of Mr. Pot.x, in refusing to make
their - diplomatic correspondence on grave questions,
save
at the ca ll of iiongress, with the advertisement of Mr.
CiArros of the letters that have passed between him and
the - French Minister, simply to aggravate bad feeling,
and "prepare the minds of the people for, war."
The closing letter of Mr. CLAYTON to the French Se
cretary of Foreign Affairs, M. Do. Tocquwria.tx, was
absolutely published in this country before it was received
France—as if with the deliberate object of forcing the
two countries into a rupture, by making that letter the
subject of taunting commentary hero I and in England.
calculated to gond the French government into violent
recrimination and action. We venture to say that no ad
ministration hos ever resorted to so desperate a shift to
foment difficulties between two nations heretofore friend
ly, or hes so recklessly gone in the teeth of all usage and
pi oprioty.
Irt Oct; same totter, dated September .5, and sent out
by the steamer of the 12th ult., we find this remarkable
expression:— .
"As Mr Rush is retu r ning home, and Mr. River.,
who has been appointed to succeed him as minister
. to
France. has probably not yet arrived in Paris, 1 hasten
to avail myself of the o dy means of communication be
tween the governments we represent, by addressing you
directly on the subject of,yeur note."
Experienced statesmen Will be amazed to see Mr.
CLArros resortm • g to the unusual method of overlooking
the American Minister at the Fronch Court, to whom
all communications intended for the French Government
are always sent as instructions for his own guidance, and
addressing himself, offensively and angrily, directly to
the French Secretory of Foreign Affairs; a course of
proceeding - entirely without parallel, as we conceive.
But is the excuse true? Can it be that Mr. CLArros has
directed Mr. Resit to leave France before the arrival of
Mr. Itiymis? Assuredly, Mr. (limn could not have been
so precipitately dismissed, thus leaving us without , a
Minister ut the French Court. at this critical juncture.
We do not beliere this allegation of the Secretary of
Mate. If it turns out to be a tins-statement of tho fact,
that Mr. Itum was not on his way home before Mr
RAvEs left Paris—if it turns out that Mr. Rosa was in
structed to remain till his successor arrived—what is the
extraordinary position hccupied by our Secretary of State?
The position of having proclaimed a mis-statement, for
the purpose of fortifying himself in addressing directly
the French Minister'cif Foreign affairs, (in violation of
all propriety and precedent,) his angry and bitter epistle
of the of September If this is not evincing n
minul anxiety to force tho countoy into war, thou we do
not to undorbtand the meaning of acts and words. Such
memos to be tho determination of the Regency—such,
indeed, seems to be the object of Mr . CrAvTorr—and
such is the voice of those who speak In his behalf. The
correspondent of the Balti num e Patriot, ("Potoninc,")
now in the employ of the government, thus proclaims the
views of the "peace" party now in power: "The only al
ternatives for Franco nro to mako a suitable apology' or
tight. The affront she has received is ono of the highest
character, which has been provoked by her supercilious
conduct."
And if war follows, by what a series of blunders and
indiscretions has it been perpetrated! We have pointed
out those which all present, strike us most forcibly. It
seems to be beyond all question that Mr. Poussis Is nut
only heartily sorry. but amazed that his language !should
have hcen,made the subjec tof such earger and angry
retort. lie is said to speak of it to all.- he meets with
profound regretjand to deplore the length to which tho
affair has been carried. We do not excuse his unhappy
method of explianing himself, though it is not unreason
able that one so much attached to our country. and so
ready even after Mr. CLAYTON'S furious tempest of pas
sion, to express regret at the state of quarrel, had any
ids h of being'a party to the omission difficulty new rap
idly approaching a head.
We repeat, we alionld deplore war, thus hastened by
an impulsive but siiMere Frenchman on ono lido; and
an American Secretary of ungovernable passions on the
other: : but if it comes, white we ore now free to com
ment neon the amazing blunders and angry precipitan
cies of Mr. CLAYTON, we shall he found, as over, among
the very first to support our country and- her flag. And
we are not sure.- weighing all the facts, if the worst con
sequences may not be apprehended, especially in view of
the course taken by the Secretary of State in fegard to
his filial lette to SI, Toequaviu.s. • .

CHEAP POSTAGE.—Our good cousin of the Bus
ton Olive Branch, has an article on cheap postagee, which
has a good deal of truth in it, but mixed up: we are sor
ry to say, with a little prejudice. The Oliva Branch is
generally right 'every time," but in this case we think
the interest of the proprietors is allowed to sway the Edi
tor's judgment. When it says, there iv no parallel be
tween the English Itystem of two cents on letters and pa
pers free, and such it system in event. y, he talks like
a practical common sense met. An he remaiks:
"the island of England is not much larger than a good
seized sheep-posture, and is traversed in every direction
by railways, so that the expense of transporting the mails
is merely nominal, while the immense extent of our
country, and the fact that much the larger part of the
mails must bo dragged over bad roads by horse teams,
—a moil sometimes costing for its tranvpoluttion ,fifty
times more than the proceeds from 11,—renders the ser
vice a very expensive ono. We think, however, that
letters may be carried all over the country—California
included, of course—for five cents each," Ire would,
however, have them pre-paid. A 9 to papers we also
agree with the Olive Branch " that sufficient should be
aired on them to pay expenses," but we would have that
tax equitable, "A half-sent each, pro-paid at the office
of delivery" might "be sufficient," but would it ho equi
table?, We ask, in ell candor, Mr. Olive Branch, if
there is any equity, common sense, or justice, in charg
ing a half-cent for earning the Obserrer four or five
miles, and no more for transporting the °lice Branch
from Boston to Now Orleans ? Again, is it right to
chargu'us mach- postage on the Wire Branch, or tho
Obserrer, as upon such blanket sheets as the "Model
Courier," " Saturday Post," and the like ?
It c'et tainly appears to us that againr a common sense
as large as a mustard - seed would teach any sane men
that there would be neither justice for 'Amity in such a
s)stessi! lint the °Bre Branch object, to "delivteing
paper.' within thirty miles fie() of expense." and says:
' "It would he a system of charity which other interests
might reasonably demand should be extended - to them.
If .we buy a gallon of molasses or a buqhel of potatoes
at a grocery, wo would ; have the Fame right to ask the
United States to carry thorn home free for us—or to ask
that our water for washing-day should be brought free
from the river. It is just us necessary to have a clean
shirt as it is to have a newspaper. To carry a nepspa
per free thirty miles, and chugs a cent for carrying it 31,
talks. is an absurd idea. Witun the Government does
this, we shall apply to the Department to loan us carri
ers to deliver our pope's to Subscribers ill the city. It
would save us a largo yearly outlay, and bo just as rea
sonable as the thirty miles plan."
Now. this is arguing the question with a vengeance. is
it not? If the goverment had a department for the pur
pose of cariying "molasses and potatoes" through the
country, we certainly should not object to its delivering
all raised or bought within thirty miles, but as it has not
wo cannot seo tiny furco in the ()lira Branch's argument.
But, says our coloaperary, "whom the government does
this (cart y papers froo thirty miles,) we shell apply to
the Department to loan us carriers to deliver our papers
to subscribers in the city." :Why man, such n request
would be usoloss—the Department will 'most assuredly
furnish you with just such carriers to deliver your papors
within 30 miles, as it will us. That is just, is it not?
We thfuk it is—and it is of no pecuniary interest to us,
to think so, either; fur when such a Ise was in
force, it did not add a subscriber to our list. There is no
thing, and can be nothing, unjust to the city press in such
a law Lit carries their papers free thirty mile.: as well aA
our, and consequently if it is a "system of charity," it is
a "charity" partaken of by all alike.
Hone Cles.sviosi.--LThe Whig leviers of our Stz t o nro
fellows of oi genital, and we shall not be surprised
if they should really discover a perpetual motion before
all is over. Mr. Fuller and the Whig State Committee
are bath very much elated at the ';/'acts" that the State
interest has behn paid in specie; the debts on the rail-road
and canals liquidated; and certain State stock i.urchased
under the present administration. They boast of these
things without laughing. and solemnly ask the people to
believe them serious: There is not a buy of ten years of
ago, that would not ho ashamed of such brazen impu
deuce. We hope the next time Falkr is caught repeat
ing this shallow boast, somebody will ask him if he ig
not now warmly supported by Stevens. Ititner, Penrose
Middleswartb, Dickey, Burden, and other heroes or the
Tape Worm, the Hunthlgton Bleach, and the Mission
ary Fund? lie will scarcely have the courage to ;ayho
is not; anti when he admits so much, just ask hint to
count how many millions ofdollars these supporters of
his, added by their frauds to' the State debt; end whether
it was not De.mocrutic policy, operating, openly under
the present administration, which reduced the burdens
which they imposed? If ho deities that, and does not
blush, he must have a coubtenance as impervious to
shame as the hide of a thinoreros.—Pennsyfraaian.
LIT Our neighbor of the Gazette., like the sportsman's
dog, L is a " famous hunter and setter"—he hunts " po
litical bones and sets down to oat them." The last morsel
of this character that he has' discovered and devoured,
is that the Whig vote in Vermont at the recent State
election, is 3000 larger than the sante State gave Gen.
Taylor. From this he argues that the people approve of
Gee. Taylor's " violated pledges." Our cote:lvor:try
is tuo shrewd for us. The friends of Taylor get awfully
thrashed in Connecticut, Kentutiky, Tennessee, and on
ly escape in North Carolina by the skin of their teeth, all
Whig States, and yet Venetia() the Whigs have succeed
ed 0111C4 more in Vermont, ho thinks it is all moonshine
about "the popular disgust at Gen. Taylor's violated
pledges." - Well, if the Whigs are satisfied with this
kind of reasoning, and such results. we are!
Garriso-rur.in Ecto 9er.7s.—The New York Express,
6 Taylor paper, has sense enough to find in the POUSSiII
land Clayton affair but "a mere question of etiquette,"
"a quarrel about nothing." "There is no principle at
stake, only mords,"says:tho Express, and it ridicules tho
official idea of the Philadelphia Gazette that'Do Tocque
vine, the French minister, must either apologise or re
sign! In fine, this Now York administration paper takes
good portion of a column to express what might better
be said in a single ward, "Humph," or "Fudge"! The
N. Y. Tribune, also an administration paper, scouts the
idea of war with France, and adds "we care not a but
ton which side loses Or wins by the stock gambling trans
actione of the day." What! arb they using old Zach and
the "national honor" fur that too?
LITE NAVY AGENT AT WASIIINGTON.-A letter from
Washington. to tho Now York Herald, gives the follow
ing as to Major Scott, lute Navy Agent at the Seat of
Government, who ivas alleged to be a defaulter,:
"Before his accounts wore settled at the Nav , Depait-
Mont, ho deposited to the credit of the United States
nearly five thousand dollars 'more' than Ito has since
acknowledged to be duo to the government. The actual
balance claimed against him is about sei-en thousanddol
lars, and his seetirities•aro responsible for fifty thomiand.
The Major,.howevor, as one of his friends informs Us,.
clai m ed the "me per ceutago on certain disbursements
as is allowed to_the other navy agents. This was not
admitted by tho Navy Department. 'Phu government,
it is known, cannot be sued; and for a man to obt ain his
rights, must himself ho sued, and leave the decision in
the case for a jury; and this course will be taken. it was
unjust to denounce this gentleman as a duratlieFr, in the
absence of proof."
WITAT IS lit TUE WINO7.—G(II/. Johnston IRIS hOSII in
