Oa the 7th

lWsin, in a note to Mr. Bueli:uian, then J
Secretary of State, alleged that he was i
chari by the Frci.'cli jrverrnAnt with the I
prosecution uf a claim against thc govern-j
mcnt of the United States, Brought by a ,
Frenchman named A. Irt, cstablishe! in J
Mexico, fjr indeniuitieation for tUiu-iges su- i
toincd by him from the acts of certain agents
of tho aruiv of the United States. His an-
p-
w
plication as in the nature of an appeal j
from the sentence of a military court of in- ;
ifuiry at Puebla, which had male a deeisiou !
unfavorable to the claim. j
No answer was seut by Mr. Buchanan to !
this coram anicatioa. When it was brought
io uie attention ot the present jvcrctary ot i
State, Mr. Clavbin promptly Jjvotel him
aelf ti iu investigation, with t!ie view of
gratifying M. Pous.-in by a speedy decision.
Within ten days from Uie time it was pre
sented to him, Mr. Clayton announce 1 to
Mr. lVusin that he had arrived at the con
clusion that Mr. Port had no just cattle to
be dissatisfied with the award of the military'
court iu.uinr. Tlin award, we may add,
which rejected Mr. Port's claim, had b-eu
regularly sanctioned and apfiroved by Gen.
Scott, the commander-in-clrief.
IUtLs5ed vilh this decision, Mr. Poos
sio, on tho 13th of March, addressed a note
to the Secretary of State, in which he re
viewed the Knpponod grounds of thc decision,
and animadverted with sonie severity oil the

.Mr. Port terminated. It was hoped that
there would be no further cause of c-'m-
a:
On the 12th day of May, however, Mr.
Pouin, in a diplomatic note, represented j
to the State Department that " Mr. Carpeii- j
iter, the cmm mder of the American war- j
sN amer Iris, after hastening to the assistance
of the French ship Kuirenie, of Havre, which
had struck on the bauic oi liiso, near tnc
anchorage of Anton Lizirdo, advanced
claim s wlio,Jv inadmissible, on account or i
remuneration for his services, and, to secure
their acuittal, iletained he' Eugenie for two
or tlrree days. In consequence of the ener-
getic remou.strances of 31 Iavallec, and the
lrn rable intervention of l!ie c-)nsul of the
United States at Vera Cruz, Commander
Carjtcnder desisted frmi his pretensions."
Mr. Poussin proceeded to s;iy that " thc
Miuister of Forcigh Affairs of France ro-
rniehl him to address to the cabinet of I
Wa-hlngton thc most serious observations j
on the abuse of authorityCun:uitted by tlris j
offi - . - er, in illegally detaiuiughc ship iuge- I
nie." lie oncluded his note with the i d-J
lowing remark

nen - J, .Ur. Secretary oi c-aie, now impor- ,
hen - 1, Mr. Secretary of State, how

should le laid on those who thus considered
themselves enipwerel to substitute arbitra- j
ry m rasurs ftr justice ; and I doubt not that
you will, without delay, give satisfaction to
tiie just complaints o: the rivncu rep iohe. ,
This note, uuaccunpaini as it was by any i to make or rejical laws; it is his duty to exe
testimony t. justify the charge against Com- cute th?m as they actually exist. Mr. Pou

to tho Navy Department, for the purpose or Curpcn ler with abuse of authority ia iil
ascertaiuing the facts on which his coirL-mn- ! egiliy detaining the French vessel

of conflicting facts, the President thought
that tike character of that officer made it in
cumbent on him to submit to the Frenee
SiiuLstor the explanation given by Coim'uan
der CarpeuJjr, and to axpress; at the &xw
tTmeTTthc hope' that they' woulT remote
any misapprehension which might exist on
the part of the French government relative

I called on she cabinet, at Washington,
Mr. Secretary of State, in the name pf the

There had been, in fact, no doctrine ad
vanced in regard to the case of Commander
Carpcnder, nor was there any indication of
an opinion on thc subject of slaveane. Mr.

In his note of May 3Qth, thc French Min
ister speaks of Irs previous communication
fdated 12th of May! in relation to tins sub-
ject, as one merely calling upon the ffovera-
meift of thc United States to disavow the
conduct of Commander Carpeniler. In point
of fact, his note of tho 12th uf May not ouly
demanded such a disavowal, but insisted
that' "severe blame, at least,' should be laid
on those who thus considered themselves
empowered to substitute arbitrary measures
for justice." The government might have
accombanie'd a disavowal of Commander Car-
pender's conluct with a severe censure, but
a -disavowal of the principle of salvage, or
his rig'ii t) it, would not of necessity' have
implied a severe Censure. Mr. l'oussin's
note ot -the 12th or May was not understood,
nor emid it be interpreted, as demanding
nnrelv a disavowal of the law under which
Comnr.inder Carpeirl jr claimed salvage for
his crew. To a demand upon the President
to disavow a law of the land, and the usages
of nations under thc law of nations, it would
have been a sufficient answer to have replied,
that v h not the province ot the Executive
tation of their being forwarded to the French
government, end witb ihe lnpe,. expressed
by the Preident, that an inspection of the
papers would remove the misunderstanding
which existed in regard to his conduct. Mr.
Poussin did not givethe' cabinet of France
an opportunity cf deciding the .case in its
new aspect, immediately denounced the
commauder, without considering his defence.

the conduct of an officer of the Umv States,
I fr norm it. nn w.
An imperious refusal to permit an Ap-;,,
officer to be heard in his defence by tw g0
vernmcnt which accused, was not nVAvje
more palatable to the Executive by the cx
tcmptuous sneer that acecompamed it. The
United States governmeut had asked, as an
act of caramon justice to a meritorious and
faithful officer, that he be heard in amatter
affecting his private and official character;
and jtwas natural to suppose that his con
d"" "Savinr a French ship and abandon-
j elaim to salvage, would exempt him
ui Censure," though it might fail to receive
fl'e approbation of the French government.
It was felt to be due to Commander Carpcn
der that iie should not be condemned with
out evidence or a hearing; and a refusal of
so common a right was deeply felt, as unjust
insolent "and rude- Mr. Mason, the late
Secretary' of -the Navy in a letter 'to Comman
der Carpender, dated November -28," 1848,
had officially approved his ctiurse in' this'
very matter; there was no evfnence adduced
against him, and yet Mr. Poussin decides
that he had com mi ted an act which deroga
ted from "the qignity of the national marine,
and proceeds to implicate the American go
vernment in the discreditable conduct of its
officer. He protests against the action of the
American Executive in the name of the
French government, thus presenting himself
befor the President'and his cabinet as having
been commissioned to lecture them upon
what concerns the dignity and honor of our
national marine.
On the receipt of this extraordinary letter
the President determined to submit Mr.
Ponssin's correspondence to the 'French gov
ernment, without assuming to perscribe
the course which that government should
adopt under such peculiar circumstances to
wards a friendly power; and Mr. Poussin
was duly advised of this determination. In
coming to, this decision, the President was
actuated by a profound regard for the exis
ting friendly relations-;with a sister republic,
and a sincere desire that those relations
should continue undisturbed. Accordingly,
the whole correspondence was-communicated
to his excellency the Minister of Foreign
affairs of "France; on the 7 ih of July, by Mr.
Rush.
At length, finding it apparent that the
French government wholly refused to redress"
the wrung inflicted by the French minister, -ths
President felt himself constrained to
terminate Mr. Poussin's official intercourse
with this government, and thus preclude an
opportunity which might be again abused.
The relations thus terminated between the
minister of France and the American go
vernment do not imply or necessarily lead
to a cold or hostile intercommunication be
tween the two governments. In the case of
Mr. Jackson, minister of Great Britain,
whose relations with this government were
terminated by Mr. Madison iu 1809 in a
more peremptor' manner, and for less poin
ted insult, no difficulty arose between this
country and England. At another time we
may refer to that misunderstanding more at
length ; but suffice it to say for the present,
that, unless France is emulods of a difficulty
with this country of which wehaverio evi
dence in any thing that has hitherto trans
pired no disturbance of the friendly rela
tions between this and that can try can pos
sibly occur! .' '
In putting an end to the official relations
of Mr. Poussin with the United States, the
Executive has informed both the govern
ment of France and the late minister of
France, that any communication through any j

There seems to be a difficulty existing ai

nate in hostilities between 'the two countries.

cause of liberty throughout the, aW rid.
But still, the honor" of State must bo pre
served at every hazard, and nations Tinust
know and be taught, that we are td bo treated
with all the decorum xlue a powerful people.
