'GUILLAUME TELL POUSSIN:
Hon: J. M. CLAYTON, .
Secretary of State.
- There had been, in fact, no doctrine a.d 7
vaneed in regard to the case of Comman
der Carperider, - nOr was there any indica•
tion of an opitiion on the subject of salVage.
Me, Poussin, as if to make out a Case for
denunciation,nssurned that "strange doe
trines" had been adopted by the Executive,
which compromised the "dignity of our
national marine," . . ,
In his note of May :30th, the French
minister speaks of his previous communi
cation [dated 12th ef May] in relation to
this subject, 'as one merely calling upon
the government of the United States to dis
avow the conduct of Cominander Carpen-.
der. In poi& of fact, his . note Of the 12th
of May not , only denianded such , a dim
vowel, but insisted that , "severe blame, at
least, should2be laid on those who,thus
considered themselves empowered to sub
stitute arbitrary measures for justice."—
The government might have: accompanied
a disavowal lof Commander Carpender's
conduct with a severe censure, but a dim
vowal of' the principle of salvage, or his
right to it, would not of necessity have
implieda severe censure. Mr. Poussin's
note of the 12th of May was not under
stood, nor could it be interpreted, as de
manding merely n disavowal of the. law
under which Commander Carpender clai
med salvage for his crew. To a demand
upon the President to disavow a law of the
land, and the usages of nations under the
law of nations, , it would have been .ii sufli
cient answer, to have replied; that it is hot
the province of the Executive to 'make or
repeal laws ; it is his duty to. execute them
as they actually exist. Mr. Poussin's was
construed to charge Commander Carpen
der with abusthof authority in illegally de
taming the French vessel.
It will be observed that the defence of
Commander Carpender was placed in the
hands of the French minister with the ex
pectation of their being forwarded to the
French government, and with The hope,
expressed by the President, that an inspec
tion of the papers wont& remove the mis
understanding which existed in regard to
his conduct. 'Mr. Poussin did not give the
cabinet of France an opportunity of deci
ding the case in its new aspect, but imme
diately denounced the commander, with
out considering his defence, which he re
garded as matter oPittle interest in his
es, when he had occasion to condemn the
cnduct of an officer of the United States.
An imperious refusal to permit an Ameri
can officer to be heard in his defence by
the government which accused, was not
made more palatable to the Executive by
the contemptuous sneer which accompa
nied it. The United States government
had asked, as an act of common justice to
ameritorious and faithful officer, that he be
heard in a matter affecting his private and
official character; and it was natural to
suppose that his conduct in saving a French
ship, and abandoning his claim to salvage,
would exempt him from censure, though
it might fail to ~receive the approbation of
the F h government. It was felt to be ' 1
duo •
shoal, *t be condemned without evidence
or a'Wring; and a refusal of so common
a right was deeply felt, as unjust, insolent,
and rude. Mr. Mason, the late Secretary
of Navy,.,..ina letter to Commander Car
penderoiated November. .28,. 1848, had
officially approved his course in this very
matter; there was no evidence adduced a.
gainst himi , and yet Mr. Poussin decides
that he had committed an act, which der
ogated from "the dignity of the• national
marine,* and proceeds to implicate the
- American govemmeritin the. discreditable
conduct of its officer. tie - protests against
the action of the American. Executive in
the MUM of the French govelument, thus,
presenting himself before the President and
his cabinet as having been comseissioned
to lecture them upon what conccins the,
dignity and honor of our national - marine.
On the receipt of this extraordinary*.
ter the President determined to submit'
Mr. Poussin's correspence to the French
government, without assuming to prescribe
the course which that government should
adopt under such peculiar circumstances
tomer& a friendly power; and Mr. Potts
sin was duly advised of this determination.
In coming to this decision, -the President
was actuated by a profound regard for the
existing friendly relations,,With a sister re
public, and a sincere desire that thOseere
'miens should continue undisturbed . . Ac
cordingly, the whole correspondence was
communicated to his excellency'the Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs of : France, on the
7th of July, by Mr. Rush: ,
At length, finding it apparent that the
French government ' wholly refused to re
dress the wrong inflicted by the French
minister, the President felt himself con
strained to terminate Mr. PouSsin's offi
cial intercourse with this government, , and
thus preclude,an.opportunity. .w hich might
be againtibused. , ' .
The relations thus terminated' between
the minister of France and the' American
I , government dO not' imply or necessarily
lead to a cold or hostile intercornmunica
' tion' between the ;two governments. ,: In

ST. JOHN, N. 8., Sept. 4 2o.
The Cambria arrived 'at Halifax at half

The weather for harvesting was fine in

The cholera was greatly increasing in
England. The deaths for the week end

which 1663 were of cholera. , 'ln Liver

be greater, in proportion, than in any part
of England.
In Publin it was on the increase.
Several distinguished persons have died
of cholera in Paris and in other parts of

At Berlin the deaths are more than 46

Klapka to demand good conditions. ,
Magyar Chiefs Executed by the:Alis l

chiefs had. been executed. Among ' them
are the ex-Minister of Austria, Pobjan and
Gen. Dawianieh, who hnd been hanged,;

Gen. Aufferman,. who had' been shot.,
Gen. lowiah, who gave the fortress of Es

Buda and Pesth are to have a garrison

Entry of Hungarians into Turkey.—
The 'Hungarian corps of Perczel entered

Russians handed over to the Austrian au

may • be understood as an cfficial relation
of the present difficulty bet Ween our gov

Republic. Many ,statements arc afloat,
respecting the affair, but the one we pub

the' Most authentic.
Some of the New York , papers, howeV
or, have thrown out various insinuations
to the effect that much yet remains to be
told; and one of thena,' (the Elven; a
whig paper) intimates that a wonza;4! is
at the bottom of the cffair. But thiS is,
erluips,mere newspaper speculation
We will here take occasion to quiet the
fears of any of our readers whose nervous
systems are likely to be endangered by an
apprehension, of war. There is yet no
cause of war—nor even a fair prospect ofi
such a castrophe.• High dignities of dif- I
