NEVVS OF THE VVEEIL FOREIGN I.‘?'I'ELLIGENCI-3.--By arecent arrival at New York, London and Paris Journals to a late day have been recived.-— \Ve subjoin such extracts as contain news of interest. By them it will be graifyiiigttftlie lovers of peace to p<erccive, that, “in no case. shall the aggression come in the hrst instance from France.” This, coming from the otiicial paper, confirms us in our previous opinion, that the question of peace or war could on- ly be contemplated as a party measure by the President and his subjects. \Var can only issue on the loss of a \Vhig majority in the Senate-and thank Heaven, there is no prospect of the occurrence of such acalamity, at least, during! the Pre§jI_‘gp_g*_' , , .. . 3: Gel}. aacitscrr. LONDON, Dec. 8.—\Ve have received the Moniteur of Sun- day. It contains the following paragraph in answer to some assertions in the Carlist papers. “It is false that the communications made by order of the French Government to that of the United States, had for its ob- ject the insertion of such and such phrases in the next Prest- dent's Message. The French Government did no more than make known ollicially the existence and tenor of the law ofJuiie 17th, 1835, as well as the dutiesimposed on it by this law, and and the nature of the explanations they had a right to expect. “It is false that the communication made by order of the government remained without an answer. This was verbal, as had been the communication. “ Ofthe same kind were those which took place at Paris be- tween the Minister ofForeign Aaliairs and the Charge de Af- faires of the United States. The documents relative to these conferences will be laid on the tables of the two Chambers. It has been impossible to come to an understanding, not_hi_ng has passed at least of a nature to render more grave the dillerences between the two countries. ‘ “Nevertheless the recall of the American Charge de Alfaires coming after the measures. proposed last year to the Congress, has rendered souie precautions necessary. the French government, under such circumstances, to be pre- pared,at allevents to protect the French interests. Such is the aim of the armaments equipping in our ports,-—an aim purely 2'.-?"..t1siv-3. There exists at this moment no legitimate cause of 1"’; -between France and the United States, and in no case shall the aggression come in the tirst instance from France.” 7.onilon, Dec. 10.—Replying to an assertion of the Coustitti- tionnel, the ministerial evening journal asserts, thatin the com- munications which passed either at \Vashington or Paris, be- tween the representatives ofthe Freucli and Americaa govern- ments, there was no talk of non-intercourse or war ; all the dif- ference, it says, at present consists,—1. ‘As to the question of right, which the two goveriiincuts take in contrary_seiises, that of ascertaining how far thcU. S. government is obliged to give explanations on the subject oftlie l’r_esideut’s Message. 2. As to a question of fact, that of ascertaining whether the explana- tion olfeictl bv Mr. Livingston, previous to the adoption of the law of 17th df June, was or was not of a nature to satisfy the French government. Now from this it appears that the question is to be re-opened, as to whether the explanation of M r. Livingston was or was not sullicient. The Chamber of Deputies decided that it was not. But we learn nowthat if Gen. Jackson would declare in his Message, thatlie acknowledged and adhered to the explana- tion given by Mr. Livingston, this would satisfy the French governnicnt. It is on this, we tiiidcrstand, that now rests the hope ofan accomodation entertained by the Cabinet of the Tu- ileries. From the Ccttslitu./iottcl. It appears certain that at the oppening of the chairibers, the Ministry will apply for an extraordinary vote of credit to meet the expense of the naval armament now preparinvv. Those al- ready incurred are said to amount to S.000,_0OQ franks. From. the London Jlzforning C'h'rom:le Dec. 9. The Paris papers of the 7th discuss the relative positions of France and America. The Journal des Debats (ministerial paper) declares that France “will do neither less nor more than America,” that France has been “insulted at least in appearance,” and could not do otherwise than ask for explanation. A meriea has more to suffer from a war than France : but war, however untoward for America may suit General.___Jackson. ‘It terminates by observ- =rui~: NORWALK GAZE’I"1‘Fj. It was the duty of 7 ing that no person or government can foretell what the American Executive will do. On the other hand, the Constitutional as- serts that the French Minister threaten to consider an act of non intercourse as a declaration of war, and that President Jackson feels himself bound by national pride to persist in demanding the Suspension Act. The mediation ofEngland having it says been found impracticable,the French Minister has flung upon the Chamber the responsiblility of deciding upon this important matter. The notification that all documents relating to it wili be laid on the bureau of the Chamber, proves that such is the ministerial intention. RUSSIA AND POLAND.-The Times has published a transla- tion ofa new edition of the famioi_i_5 ‘.‘.7;;.",_.‘,',;,\-.r speech. This Cftiiies irom the Emperor himself. It is his own version, for the benefit of his Russian subjects. It was printed and circulated in St. Petersburgh after the Emperor’s return to that capital.— \Vhat follows is a literal translation. “ Scarcely had the spokesirian mounted to begin his speech, and uttered the word ‘Sire’-‘Stop’ said the Emperor, ‘I know what you mean to say, rather listen to me.’ The Deputy began to bow. ‘Do not bow—you bowed just so in 1829, and in a shameless manner betrayed and rejected the benefits ofAlexan- der, who, for your sakes, did not spare the riches of his own country. A precious page in history you have left! You your selves, for yourselves, built this citadel.‘ Now only dare. On the slightest commotion, in 2-1 hours VVarsaw ceases to exist, and it is notI who will build it a second time. Do not place your hopes on Germans ['Nerntzee which is often used indis- crirninatly for all foreigners] or Frenchmen—hope only from my mercy. Honor the laws——love your Monarch. I assure you that only in this can you hope for prosperity, and strive to give your children a different education from what you have yourselves received.” * The citadel was paid for by a forced loan from the inhabit- ants. “Fnoiir PRUSSIA, Dec. 6.—The speech of the Emperor Nic- holas to the Municipality of \Varsaw continues, in the absence "of important events, to be a subject of important events, to be a stibject of general conversation. Some persons affirm that the Russian government intends to to institute an inquiry, in order to learn who it was that took the trouble of putting the words of the Emperor into writing, and to make a formal document of them for the benelit of the journals. It is considered as a vio- lation as aviolatiou of the intimate connexion of Poland with Russia; and it is thought contrary to propriety that the repri- mand which the Eniperour thought it necessary to give should be brought without permission before the forum of public opin- ion. For, say they, if the Emperor had desired. the W'arsaw qfiicial Journal would probably been the first to noticethe speech and certainly would have given it complete, and according to its real tenor. PORTUGAL. There was a report, we understand, in the City yesterday, that the object of the naval preparations going gal. It is scarcely necessary for ustp remind our readers that although the commercial treaty between England and Portugal will speedily expire, there are other treaties subsisting between the two countries which would render it necessary for us, ifsuch descent were meditated, to send out a fieet to capture or destroy that ofSardinia with as little delay as possible.——ZVIorningC'hron- icle. i The Toulonuias reports as follows respecting the naval arma- ments which have been going on in the port of Genoa :— “We have letters from Genoa of the 28th tilt. At that time the naval division which hasjust been equipped in that port, had not sailed. It is commanded by Admiral Serra. Its destina- tion is still a mystery, but from the movements of the partizans of Don Miguel and Don Carlos in that country. there is reason to believe that Carlos Albert is‘ going to attempt to second the ef- forts of the two Pretenders." The Messager gives the following letter from Genoa, dated Nov. 29 :—- “No doubt is now entertained that the vessels laden with powder and arms are to go to Catalonia under the escort of the corvette and steam boat which are waiting for them at Savona. Frantic-rs on .'l‘ur7rc}/, Nov. 26.—Important events seem to oc- cupy the attention of the Porto at the present moment. To judge from appearances, the Sultan is engaged with a project for recapturing Syria, and probably Egypt, which has become so eufeebled of late. on at Genoa, is to enable Don Miguel to make a descent on Portu- -
