There appears to be but one opin ivn among English papers as to the blunder perpetrated by President MacMahon. The leading American papers that have come under our eyes hold the same view. The con sentient voice is that the President of the French Republic has yielded to bad advisers, and has taken a step that may lead to very unfortuuate results. As we said days ago the French people are at heart Republican. The trouble is that the regime which con trols France now is only nominally Republican. The President is an imperialist out and out, and the new Premier stands forth as the representative of clericalism over liberalism. He cannot, there fore, give 6uch assurances as may be demanded by Germany and Italy. Those countries will natu rally distrust an administration that is controlled by an imperialistic Pre sident and a reactionary Premier. As far as we can learn the latter, M. de Broglie, proposes to reverse what ever has been accomplished by the Republic, to form alliances with cer tainpaxlies or factions at home and abroad that are known to oppose all Republican and Liberal sentiments, to make himself too strong to be overthrown by calling to his aid the powerful clerical party, and to crush any further buddings of Liberalism under the grinding heel of the Pre fectures a system of discipline and restraint as hostile to liberty as poi son is to health. It appears that the coup d'etat sprung the other day had been long in preparation. It was not, there fore, the impulsive action of a brave, defiant nature merely, but the well considered purpose of men of ability and boldness. The Philadelphia Press says bon has caused in France, we might sav throughoutjEurope, by the sudden dismis- sal of the Jules Simon ministry, which was appointed only four months aeo. is ex- plained byJEnch, English, and German journalists as liaving been the reverse of sudden in prepara ion, everything having oeen -cut ana anea" Detorenand. For some time there has been contention in the French Legislature between two parties. the Radicals and the Clericals. The Rad icals object at heart to the support of Ca- moiics, .rrotesiants, ana jews out oi the public treasury. The cost is nearly $10, 500,000 Jor the Catholic clergy and churches, and 1686,900 for the Pro testant and Jewish clergy and churches. Many able publicists, themselves good men in their differing religious persuasions. contend that, as in the United States, all churches and clergymen should be sup- porteam ine voluntary system The Clericals, opposing this principle, would Siacuy increase tne state provision for the Catholic Church in France. M. Jules Si mon, as well as M. Gambctta, are at one extreme of liberalism, and ex-President Thiers, at the other, has never concealed that hisympathy goes with the Radical principle in this matter, though he has not forced on any discussion about it. The Clerical party, in and out of the French Legislature, expresses unlimited sympathy with Pope-Pius as against Victor Emanuel, King or Italy." The action of President MacMa hon in discharging M. Jules Simon may lead to intense political feuds, when it ia so necessary for France that alio should have repose aud peace. Germany is not only ProteB- tant, but aggressive, and the preser- vation of pcaee between the two countries will become more difficult than ever. With a strong personal government in Frauoe, when peace or war may be in the hands of one may put upon it. Many, men in the man, and he a soldier under priestly flush and strength of matured man influence, it maybe that Protestant hood have broken down suddenly, Germany has grounds fpr alarm, and and life has been extinguished like when the great Bismarck is recalled J so soon to take the helm, it may be too that the Emperor beliefs that the peace of Europe is endangered, and that of all men -the great states man can best preserve it. Not only out of France does the opiniou prevail that the President has made a great mistake, but at home among the friends of MacMahon hiin- self the same opinion is held. The following is a part of a telegram to the New York Herald of May 23d: I "President MacMahon has evidently a long struggle before him. Some of his most earnest friends are beginning to see what a false step he took in dismissing Si mon on what now Appears as personal grounds.

A correspondent, signing himself "Keith," has been writing some elo quent sketches of famous Kentuck- Mans for the Cincinnati Commercial. In a sketch of Col. W. C. P. Breck- inridge, son of the late eminent and Very able Rev. Dr. Robert J. Breck- enridge, one of the most intellectual Americans of this century, he says, referring to the latter: "His father was John Breckinridge, Jef ferson's Attorney General, after whose death Jefferson himself did not hesitate to attempt to steal the credit of the paternity of the Kentucky resolutions of 1798-9, of which Breckinridge was indisputably the author." Col. P. Donan, now of Kentucky, but late of the Raleigh Sentinel, wrote j an elaborate reply to this charge for tk Commercial, in which lie OUeieu BWII1U buouk cviueui,t m show that Mr. Jefferson was the" au thor ot the resolutions. This letter of Col. Dorian's drew a courteous re ply from Col. W. C. P. Breckinridge, in which a very singular error is ex posed. We quote uninteresting para graph from Col. B.'s letter "YoU will seek in vain for any intimation that Mr. Jefferson was the author of the Kentucky Resolutions prior to about 1820 or 1821 i or at least auch ia my understand ing. 1 be account given by Kaudall and quoted by you is evidently based on a let ter published in Mr. Jefferson's corres pondence, under date Mouticello, Decem ber 11, 1821, addressed to Mr. .Nicholas. 1 Ail I I ifM1t nrv-.;iin ntlftntlrtn T I h it r u r 1 u ?" tail y uut ouuiai nuuutiuu ia tuat ivuv-i.

Again he says of his able grand? father! 8 M "Jehn Breckinridge's position among the men of his day can be somewhat measured when we recall that before he was of age he was elected to the Virginia House; that at thirty he was the confiden- 'adSTaS" tmion of 1799? ; was without division elected Speaker of ' the Kentucky House- at forty a Senator; in 1804 the choice ot ! a rge portion of the Republican party for Vice President, and reluctantly leaving the .Seaato became ; Attorney General in6 the Cabinet of Mr. Jefferson; and this life was i that of an orphan boy left almost penniless ' at eleven, in the very frontier of the settle- j ments. . ..i He also 6hows that Marshall, the j political and personal enemy ot John Breckinridge, in his history of Ken lucky, charges that John Breckin ridge was the "author and advocate" of the resolutions to which Marshall offered a tierce and vigorous opposi tion. Mr. Jefferson claimed distinctly to be the author of the resolutions. In the letter referred to about which such a singular mistake was made, in supposing it was addressed to W. C. Nicholas instead of to J. Cabell Breckinridge, of Frankfort, Ky., Mr. Jeffersou distinctly states that he drafted the resolutions. The whole letter is interesting, but we can only copy a part. "At the time when the Republicans of our country were so much alarmed at the proceedings of the Federal ascendency in Congress, in the Executive and the Judi ciary departments, it became a matter of serious consideration now neaa couia ue made against their enterprises on the Con stitution. The leading Republicans in Congress found themselves of no use there, brow-beaten as they were ny a ooia ana overwhelming majority. They concluded to retire from that field, take a stand in their State Legislatures, and endeavor mere to arrest their progress. The Alien and Sedition Laws furnished the particular oc casion. The sympathy between Virginia anil Kentucky was more cordial and more intimately confidential than between any other two States of Republican policy. Mr. Madison came into the Virginia Legisla ture. I was then in the Vice Presidency, and could not leave my station, but your father, Col. W. C. Nicholas, and myself happening to be together, the engaging the co-operation of Kentucky in an energetic protestation against the constitutionality of those laws became a subject of consulta tion. Those gentlemen pressed me strong ly to sketch resolutions lor that purpose, your father undertaking to introduce them to that Legislature, with a solemn assurance, which I strictly required, that it should not be known from what quarter they came. I drew and delivered them to him, and in keeping their origiu secret he fulfilled his pledge of honor. Some years after this Colonel Nicholas asked me if I would have any objection to its being known that I had drawn them, I pointedly enjoined that it should not. Unless more speciBc evidence can be offered to prove that John Breck- enridge drew up the resolutions, we shall accept Mr, Jeff ei sou's statement of the matter aa conclusive.
