Every nation is at liberty to di?r33 y . fr tign; miuinter. at its pleasure, on ihe occurrence of ajiy thing which Js otnusiveio its dignity or character f wh'u-h it i itselfof couse,; lo be the sole judge. No nation has ever undertaken to resent snb a slep as a hostile or iinfriend ly apt. ' The , apprehensions, therefore, w hich seein In have prevailed on this subject, are quite uncalled for ; as some uheiior action o:i the part of France willbe neessar; to inter, ruptj ihe amicable relations vhich exist be. tween her and the U.

It is -obvious that at (his point Mr.j Clayton might have declined any further corrrsiMindence on ihe subject j hot put of re. spect on ihe 10ih of April heJ replied to Mr. Poufcsin's communication, assigning rrasohs for his decision, and respect fid ly controverting 1 fie positions ot the minister. Uu flho lath ol A. pril Mr. Clayton Received anther note from Mr.j Poussin, in which the minister indulged in a strain of inveeiive evidently: intended to be highly ollensive to ihe American luivjern orient. The correspondence was immediately submit- led V Ine Secretary of State 10 ihe President who directed hinruto lose no lime in requesting Mr.jPoussin lo repair to Washington without unnecessary delay. I .The offensive nolo was dated at Washington whije ir Poussin was absent in New York, upwards of two hundred miles distant from this cityi Bearing on its fare an insult to the A- mericau Government, deliberately given in the i -li.a a ta i . . . . very? rapuai 01 ine united State!, whuih, it not satisfactorily explained or retracted, would have reqtjired lhal all correspondenre with bim as a minister should terminate without delay, it was made imnortaht to himself mid Gorrnmtiit I that; he should lose no lime In renairimr to Washington. One offensive passag was the following: " The. Governmrnl-nf the lTnited States must be. convinced that it 4s more honbra. hie o acquit, fairly, a debt contracted, during icari under the pressure of necessity, than to e vade its payment by endeavoring to brand the. character nf an honest man.1' The same note contained an attack upon a high military offi cer charging bim, in effect, wii perjury bVfore the military court ; and an attack upon the dis- unguisnea onicers composing I the cburU who were charged wiih permitting lhal oificrr to cary out, without interruption; his string of ealijmniea incredible." It closed wjh an in. sinuation lhat ihe Slate Department haitf be. come the organ of a criminal accusation, with out proofs, against Mr. Port. I Il was in reply to this communication, that n he J21stofApril Mr. Claytoti addressed Mr. Poonin tho following note : I j ; Department of Stat. ' !

In the Interview between Mr, Clayljnn and Mr- Poussin which followed this note, he lat. teif gentleman Vas highly ofifnive, and con lamed language which our Government could nut admit, and that he was permitted to wiih. draw the offensive expressions. 'The letter was accordingly withdrawn, and on the 'follow, ing day returned, expurgated of the; most often, sive matter. Anxioun to maintain friendly re laiions with the minister, the Presideht here permitted the. niatter to drop, and the jcorres M)iidence with regard to the claim of Mr. Port tej-mtnated. It was-hoped that there wtould be no further cause of complaint, a ? f On the 12h diy of May, however, MJ. Pous. sin, in a diplomatic note, represented; to the State Department lhat MrJ Carpender. the com mander of the American watef-steamer Iris, after hastening to the assistance of the French ship E'igenie, of "Havre, whicrtifad struck on the bank of Riso, near ihe anchirage ojf Anton Lizardo, advanced claims, wholly ihadmjlssable, account of remuneration for his services, and. to secure their acquittal, detained ihe Eugenie for two or three days. In consequence of the energetic remonstrances of Mr. Lnvallee, and ihe honorable intervention of iheconstfl of ihe United Slates at Vera Cruz, Commander Car pender desisted from his pretensions," Mr. Poussin proceeded to say that "the minister of foreign affairs of France requested him, to ad. dress to the Cabinet of Washington tqe most j serious observations on the abuse of authority j committed by this officer, in illegally -detain, ing ihe ship Eugenie." He concluded his note wiih the following remark: You will easily comprehend Mr. Secretary of Stale, tyw im portant it is that such occurrences should not be repeated and that severe blame, at least, should be laid on those who lhis considered themselves empowered to subst'pute arbitrary measures fori just ice ; and I doubt not that you will, without delay, give satisfaction to jihe jus-t complaints of the Frfuch lepuhljcv" This note unaccompanied as it was by any testimony to justify the charge against Commander Carpen. der, was promptly referred to ihe Navy Depart ment, for the purpose of ascertaining te lacts on which his condemnation was demanded.- On the 24th May the Secretary of the Navy in reply, transmitted to this Department all the evidence in his possession, whih consisted only of two letters from Commander Carpen. der himself, dated, the one New Orleans the 16th November, 1848; the other New York, the-I9ih May, 1849. In. the absence of any evidence of conflicting facts, the President thought that ihe character of that officer made it incumbent on him to submit to the French minister the explanation given by Command er Carpender, and to express, at ihe same time the hope ' that they would ' remove any misap prehension which might exist on the part oflhe French Government relative to bis conjduet on jhe occasion in question." This note iyas re spectful to the Minister. The. explanation which accompanied it showed that the com mander. seeinir the French ha roue Euireoie ( and her crew in imminent oeril. hMmrion the a moment when no other aid couldi he procured ' . " . ; 4" salvage, f!ir his men who had saved the bark a ( her crew from destruction, fte was enti lied to compensation. So it was derided bv Mr. Clifford, our minister to Mexico, late Ajlorney j (Jjeneral of ihe U. States, when the 'matter ! was referred to him. Sin h also, we understand i is the Opinion of Mr. Johnson; our present At. ; torney tieneral. But although he had asked J V . 1. i . 17 , . . ; and expected lo receive salvage, yet (l' use his own worrb) "ihi.ty hours having elapsed 'with- otit receiving n ,i8wer. h- h5.d uln.l. I out sqVed lo let the captain resume ihe cht ,er, wnen he received a note from th. receiving an answer, n nan aireauv re. rgo ofj t he con. signee saying lhat he could not act in thie mat- ! teir as the vessel was not yet in port ; and at the same moment, the captain of ihe Eugenie coming on board he returned the vessel loi him." It was under these circumstances that Mr. Poussin wrote the note oflhe 30th of May last, which follows : Legation of France, ; Washington, May 30, 1849, Sir : I received on ihe 28ib of May 1 He note which you did me honor to address to me on the same day, in answer to mine calling upon the Government of Ibe United Slates to disa. i vow the conduct of Commander Carpender, of t a a. a . . m d " J- the American steamship Ins. towards the French ship Eugenie, of Havre, which had run upon the bank of Riso, near the anchorage of Anton Lizardo. The explanations given by Comma ndej - Car - pender are not of a nature, Mr. Secretary of State, such as to dispel the discontent which j his proceedings have caused to my Government. Reconsidered, as he savs. and be still run. siders, lhal ihe case was one of salvage; that the rights acquired by bim as ihe aaver bf the vessel saved, empowered him lo keep possess ion of her until his extravagant pretensions were fully satisfied ; but hit opinions have lit. lie interest in our eyes, when we have occasion to condemn his conduct. . , f .

In rti.int of fact, his note of ihe 12th of May uot only demanded such a disavowal, but insisted "lhat severe blame, at ! least, sboulO le laid on luose woo iqus couMti- , its t . I iL. ......... , an.,1 lliaimall-iht ftniuilVlriH lit SllloUltli'e V I 17,, UHi - ------ " I I rary measures for justice." The Government might have accompanied a disavowal of Com- j aroi- ; mander Carpenter's conduct wiih n severe cen sure; but a disavowal oflhe pnnciple ot sal. vage, or his right to it, would out of necessity have implied severe censure. Mr. Pousin's note of the 12'.h of May was not understood, nor could it be interpreted, as demanding mere, ly a disavowal of the law under which Com mander Carpenter claimed salvage for his crew. To a demand upon the President to disavow a law of the land, and the usages of nations, it would have been a sufficient answer to have replied, that it is not the province of the Exec. utive to make or repeal laws; it is his duly to execute them as they actually exiVt. Mr. P.mis- t ! sin's was constructed to charge Commander Carpenter with abuse of authority in illegally detaining the . Fiencb vessel, j It will be observed that the defence of Com- mander Caipenter was placed in the handtofihe. r rench minister with Ihe expectation ol their being forwarded to Ihe French government ; and with the hope, expressed by the President, than an inspection of ihe papers would remove , the misunderstanding which existed in regard to his conduct. Mr. Poussin did not give ihe ca bind of France an opportunity of deciding ihe j case in its new aspect, but immediately denouu. j ced the commander, without roundering hisde. ; fence, which he regarded as mailer of Utile in teresl in his eyes, when he had occasion to-con-demn ihe conduct of an officer of the United States. An imperious refusal to permit an A meiican officer to be heard ia his defence by the Government which accused, was not made more palatable to ihe Executive by the con temptuous sneer that accompanied it. The United States Government bad asked, as an act1 of common justice to a meritorious and faithful officer, lhat he be heard and in a mat. ter affecting his private and official character; and il was natural to suppose lhat bis conduct in saving a French ship, and abandoning his claim lo salvage, would exempt him from cen sure, though it might fail to receive the appro, bation of Ihe French government. It wh felt lo be diie to Commander Carpenter lhat he should not be condemned without evidence or a hearing ; nnd a refusal of so common a right was deeply felt, as uiijust, insolent, and rude. Mr. Mason the late Secretary of ihe Navy, in a letter to Commander Carpenter, dated Novem ber 28ih, 1843, bid officially approved his course in ;his very matter; there was no evi deuce adduced against him, and yet Mr. Pous sin decides that he had committed an act which derogated from "the dignity of the national marine," and proceeds to implicate ihe Amer ican Government iu the discreditable conduct of its offit-er. He protests against the action of the American Executive in the name of the French government, thus presenting himself before the President and his Cabinet as having been commissioned to lecture tbm upon what concerns the dignity and honor of our national marine. On the receipt of this extraordinary letter, the President determined to submit Mr. Pous. in's correspondence to ihe French government. without assuming to prescribe ihe eourse which that government should adopt under such pe. ; collar circumstances towards a (iiendlv imwer : and Mr. Poussin was duly advised of this de. termination. In coming to this decision, the Presideni was actuated by a profound regard for ihe existing friendly relations with a sister republic, and a sincere desire that those rela tions should continue undisturbed. Accordingly, the whole correspondence was communicated to his excellency the Minister of Foieign Affairs of France, on the 7th of July, by Mr. Rush. At length finding it apparent, lhat ihe French government wholly refused lo redress the wrong J 7 rre icn winwicr, me freshen, tell himself eoilstr:tinH lo Iprtniimla Mr P...U " V 1 '! 7 a,,d ,h,, preclude sin's official intercourse with this Government, an opportunity which might oe again abused. ; The relations thus terminated between the Mi nister of France and the American Govern ment do not imply or neeessarily lead to a cold or hostile intercommunication between the two governments. In the case of Mr. Jackson, Minister of Great Britain, whose relations -with this government were terminated by Mr. Madison in 1809, in a more peremptory manner, and for less pointed insult, no difficulty arose between ihis country and England.

In putting an end to the official relations of of Mr. Poussin with the U. States, the Execu tive has informed both ihe government of !

What the objection is, we are not informed, but it goes to show what wehav? alwavs thought, that the people.
