Poussin, the late Minister Plenipotenti arv of France near this Government, has re ceived, per the last steamer, detpatches,jfrom the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, of a highly interesting character, covering letters to M. Montholon, now in New York. The general impiession. seems to be that M. Montholon has been authorized by the French Government to act as the tempora ry agent, through whom it will communicate with our own, until the course of diplmacy shall'be resumed, and instructed to arrange, if possible, M. Poussin's difficulties with this Government. This I learned, also, from a gentleman who said he had it from M. Poussin himself. It is supposed by s'me that M. Monotholon has boon appoint ed to succeed M. Poussin psrmanently, whilst oihers'think that he is only authorized to reconcile the Cabinet to the late Minister, and to procure a retraxit of the dismissal. These, however arc mere idle speculations since the French government lias hot yet had time to receive the official announce ment of the dismissal nor any inli mation of it in advance from M. Pousmb himself, who declares that his dismissal from a republic, whose intererts and honor were so dear to him. was so entirely unexpected that it had elr flkfh 1wkea. his; :ieart", Itira-wi.atterJ of regret that his sensitive bosom was only awakened to i?!l.P.r5i?!,'?!..9f?.?t .n'a tienal honor when job found It . wati not to be insulted with impunity i lam credibly informed that Mr. Dpnelson, otir able sun! dignified Minister at Frankfort, will iu a short time receive his letters of re. call, not on account of any objection to him but because it is decerned expedient that the Mission to the Germanic Confederation . shouldiic iUSpfrndedyApatiyi.ti!

There have been no removals in any of the Departments during the past week, but it is confidently predicted. by-those who are interested in knowing, that the first "Oc tober sun," will furnish father Ritchie an opportunity to chant his Jj rcinaids to the tune of "Oh cirryjne back to old Virginia," to which, nn doubt, his particular Friend John Van Buren will respond with a hearty "Amen."

Yours, &c, HAMPDEN. CorrfjHudtHrt if the Baltimore American. Wamixotos, Oct 2T, 1849. The rumor put-forth by -several 4tter writers that there have been criminations and reeriiniuatious between tho Secretary of State and Mr. Cavallo, the Chilian Min ister, in coiisequeuce at some . information having been obtain by Mr. Cavallo, through his fither-in-law, from Clerk in the de parlment, and the clerk had been dismissed on that account, caused some excitement fr a day or two on the Avenue, and much inquiry as to who the delinquent officer could be There has been as I am well informed, no dismissal for any such cause; ncrhave any angry crimination and recrim ination occurred between the functionaries named. Mr. Cavallo may hive obtained information in the manner specified through otn i of the Democratic Clerks dismissed from the Dcpartmesl aoon after the fourth of March, if so it has not caused any angry feelings whatever between Mr. Cavallo and Mr. Clayton. Though the Union and its afflicted sub organs are using the most diligent and un tiring efforts to make the people believe that Mr. Clayton, for want of tact of diplo macy, has hroiiirHt discord between him and the wholo "corps diplomatique," and i in danger involving u in war wi'th all the nations of the world, I miy nay with perfect safely that no Secretary has ever been more entirely respectful, and courte- ous in U his intercourse with Foreign Ministers, And the future will show beyond all pera.lvfcittow ! that lie ' has alwiya put f our povermimnt in the ritrhU and while ex trcisinjr the "tuuv'tltr in fna,"..hsi, pre served' the "forlilerin re.t We have seen : this truth exemplifled-jnthe me' ter ef &4 Fnmi'b; Minister." whir though be lein ' ttemis'ed for tiavitrg TPpeutectty insulted iur Guvcrment. vet has never received one line or syllable from the Secretary wMch as in the leaot degree undignified or i l.l'-fl'RjK'CM'llI The ;ry which place the Secretary and ' Mr. Crampton.the British Charge d'Affairei, in angry controversy on the subject of the claim of England to the Miisquito Coast, i it a ' f is equally iuio ana is utterly uniounaea m fact. The shallow and flimsey claim will, however, in due season doubtless bo. fully discussed; and I venture to predict that when it cames to be debated by the two governments, England will be convinced that she is in the wrong, and will quietly yield to our demand lor an equal right of way to nil nations across the territory which has been freely offered by Nicaragua, to whom, it justly belongs.) Mr. Ritchie and his co-laborers may a buse the Administration if it can afford them any consolation for their loss of pub lic pap they may blubber like whipped babies over the fata ejected spoilsmen-1 they may continue, if it- still suits their views of patridtism, to side with foreigners who presume to lecture us upon the digni ty of our national marine they may chuckle j in advance over advantages which they de sire may be gained in a -diplomatic debate oetweenour government ana ,ngianct upon a question which involves the great inter ests of our commerce and navigation, in the hope that such things will help them to regain power and place but it is all "vanity and vexation of spirit." They may howl and bark, one and all, "Tray, Blanch and Sweet'heart?-r-biu.llje niooB .wilUhme on, heedless of their yelping, and old Zack and his Cabinet will daily grow stronger in the 'confidence ! and affection "of the people,. ' I met a gentleman here from Porto Rico, a Tew days since, who came on to com plain to our government ' that the Spanish authorities in that island and Cuba have for many yeas past been enforcing, an old royal decree which requires all foreigners residing there to take an oath of alligiance to her Catholic Maje'ty- Many hundreds of our citizens have thus been either compel led to '(!tpati1at'thcmH4VeS,'ar''id(renieavy losses of property by fleeing those islands. Complaints had, he said, been made under former 'administrations -without redress he wasprompt!y informed, however, b the secretary of State, that soon alter his coming into oflice, his attention had been called to this grievance, arid that hereafter our people would not be molested by this odious decree. .. : I observed in yesterday's Union a denial, mivto of the expression" I charged against j that paper in rav last letter. The sentiment, as quoted by me, was "no matter what face it might assume, they (the editors of the Union) were determined to oppose it, (the administration of General Taylor) till the bitter end." Thisj the Union saysrui ut terly false; not a word of it ever appeared in the, editorial columns of . the Unipn'r-r Now if the editor mea.is merely to charge me with the failure to quote their exact words verbatim tt literatim, I acknowldge the corn; but if they pretend to assert that in their editorial columns of the 3d of August they did not declare that "whatever face the future might wear, we mean to oppose the administration of General laylor, and his cabal to the bitter end," then I can only say that either they or the whole world be sides are completely blind, "trangr, thil mch diflVrenc thora shou'd be Twriil twieUUdum and ttveedleilet." I trust that your election to-morrow will prove that the Whigs of the old Maryland line have too much patriotism to desert the gallant Kenly, who was winning laurels For himself and State in Mexico while vhis j Opponent was reposing- tot those he did not win ai ew l oini, wneu were ai uib public expense. It M ould indeed be a singular simple of republican gratitude if the citizens of Baltimore should elect to Corieress a man whom they had helped to j educate to do battle for his country, but who failed to respond to her call in the hour of Ecril in preference to him who educated imself at his own expense, and who fought the Mexicans in every battle "till the bitter end." Let every Republican do his duty manfully and you must succeed. HAMPDEN. P. 8. Several removals have already' ta ken place as I predicted a week ago, and another chapter of lamentations has been wrjtten by the weeping editor of the Union. The reckless course of the official organ of the Democracy is thus shown up by the Washington Republic: ' THE "UNION" VS. THE UNITED STATES COURTS. The allies of the Lnion cannot complain of that journal for leaving any thing undone in proving its fidelity to its "foreign rela. tons." In its justification, or palliation, of M. Poussin s msultinz letters to the See- j retary of State it haa belabored the people, j the President, the Cabinet, officer ol the rNavy and tomcd up its nose at the Supreme Courtof the United States. It has signified its hostility to the law and usages of nations, which permit officers and crewe of public vessels to aim salvage tof tcntce render eJ distressed merchants vessels on the lima liintid its disnleasure at the tardiness of Conjrress in discountenan-Uble ein eueh elaims by formal statute..

It has assailed the Secretary of State for resenting an insult oilered to the Govern, men! in a corresiondence which, on the part ot Air Clayton waa conducted with such dig nity and prudence as to present no point which can be successfully assailed. It has misrepresented Commander Car pender, byintimating that he useU the public force to ufize" upon a merchant vessel and detain her to satisfy "a private personal claim," , . ' r It has accused Captain Strinirham of making a statement in regard to the aban donment of the Engenic, which the narra tive of Commander Carpcnder disproved. It has aggravated the complaint of the French Government, by putting an Ameri can officer in a more disadvantageous posi tion than his acusers charged him with occu pying. And it has reproached the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, for quoting the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States in interpreting a principle of international law. It says: "The law of nations is the only code which can be , appealed to in disputes be tween nations, and we are sorry to see that Mr Clayton and tho Attorney General have established theprecedent of appealing to the laws,iassed bi $ions of Our tribunult (hav ing authority in those tribunals alone) in -conducting negoti ations with- a forein mW0? The Attorney Genejal cited no law of Congress. He appealed to the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States, in ascertaining what tho law of nations was touching the case of the Eugenie; and this the Union calls "a mortifying spectacle."

It contained an infamous proposition to es tablish a secret system of .Siffloirtrgethrongh out the Republic. We felt some repug nance to stem, by publishing it to give countenance to such an abominable project -and soma firiends from the country have complained of our admitting such a detesta bly proposition into our columns. But we said nothing. We felt a presentiment that we . were about to hook the veteran and art ful dodger. He eyed the bait a lone time, nibbled at it very gently, and last Saturday, fairly gorged it. I.onnd behold him flutter ing in the dust! -With the exception of a change of date, and the first two sentences. prefixed to gild the bait, and the substitution of Lotofocoitm for Coalition, and "Union for Natlonal Republican," (the Whig pa. per at that day,) the letter is an exact trans script of a portion of a letter signed " Aris tides," published in the Enquirer of 14th April 1 8 ili, and-Copied intoNiles' Register of Maj 2d, 1828. t "We copy the entire article of the Union, and pray the reader to scan closely every sentence of the text and the comment, and bear in mind all the ferocious blows of the Union, directed againt the infamoui propo tition and its authors, arc applicable to them selves alonel" We need not attempt to aid the reader's appreciation of this most extraordinary hoax by pointing 'out the many expressions of indigaUon and rebuke with which the Union calls the attention pf the. country to the momentous developement supposed to have been made in the letter from Washington. The most sober minds may draw a profita rnoral from "the "whole affair. It exhibits, with i fiiW;fidt lef trwltelmirtg than Iu dicrous, the recklessness of the. opposition to Gen Taylor administration. It is laugh- enough Jo aee a great political leader denouncing as base,' detestable and infamous, t proposition which, twenty years ago he permitted to pass uncensured in his columns. Then, when the mighty Jackson swayed his iron aceptre over the Republic a sugges tion from die seat of he federal Govern ment that a Jesuitical system of espionage might be useful, not only proved nothing J against the Cabinet, but was put before ine woriu, tnrougn the leading atlmmistra i ii mi journal in v irgiuia, tn suctt a guise as ro dc positively recommended to the favor able consideration of the President's friends. But, now, the very same suggestion couch- ea in me yery same words, embodies an 'infamous proposition;!', and its publication in a Whig paper k proof undeniable that "this vile and infamoui iytem of $ecret esirijnasre" is one which ha hern rmlLi;k. ed under the patronaok or thb Cabinet end which its thameless iustruments and agent t art attempting to extend to every neighbourhood tn the Union. ' KenVfHinflr mpn rf nil nnrtin. u-ill . L how is it, that what convicts Gen. Taylor's Cabiuet of an infamous policy established nothing whatever against Gen Jackson's? They will consider, too that the letter, upon which the Union bases all its indurnant "-"I "-" v. w, mil, ,3Ki comments through not genuine as published was genuine as published in the Enouirer of 1829r and every word which the Union now says of the proposition it moots holds strictly good of the original letter of that day. And the conclusion of all fair minds mustba, that the virulent abuse of Gen. Taj lor and his Cabinet with which the Washington or gan of the opposition is daily freighted is of no more proper weight Uian this most un fortunnte denunciation of the "Iufamout Rich. Times. - FREE NEGRO POST MASTERr The I oeofoco papers have been exulting very much at the succesi of a poor hoax, as devoid of wit as disreputable to the parties turn rrniMi, wnicn nau lor its object the ap pointment of a free- negro - Post Master at tarnham Church in Richmond county. The Enquirer in especial, has teemed with glorification paragraphs on the subject, so at least, we heary for we have not taken the A (icntleman from the country has called upon us ana communication all tho facts m relation to the matter and if theyTeflect any credit on the wit, the honesty or tho truth of ijoc:iocoism, we surrender ouriudginent. Mr. Ficklin the late Post Master, died some months ago. He was a Democrat, as nearly all the Post Masters in Virginia are, His deputy, Mr. Lyle, also Democrat, was recommended torucceed him, by 8 Whigs and 5 Imocrots. IThe P. M. General not knowing ersonally the gentlemen, rwlio sign ed the recommendation, very properly, to obtain information from a responsible source, wrote to Dr. Webb, the estimable Delegate from the county. , Dr. W. was absent at Fauquier Springs and did not receive the letter. In the meantime, Mrr Francis W Pcdleton.the late Loeofoco Candidate for fhe liegislalure, wrofe" to" the' Departincnt, stating, among other things, that Mr. Lyle was not fit for the office, but that -Mr. Spen cer Maiden" was, and that his appointment would give universal satisfaction to both par ties. I'he office was vacant, the Post Mas ter General could not leave his post to visit FarnhamChurch in person, and he did not supposcthat locofocoism would perpetrate a deliberate falsehood to procure the annoint- ment of a free negro, "Mr. Spencer Maid en, who it appears, was a Loeofoco free negro, was thereupon commissioned. The P. M. General advised of the fact, and conclu ding, that if there was no person in that vi cinity but a free negro, fit to be Post Master, the office ought to cease, abolished it. Doubt less upon proper representations of the facts, the office will be re-established if tho peo ple (1esiro.it, and will recommend a. worthy white man for the post. - This is the vaunted feat of Locofocoism! All the parties to it are welcome to all the glory it confers. If there be wit in it, or truth, or decency, v?e are at a loss to discov er it. Ittch. ft hi.
