Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot.

 WASHINGTON DEc. 2, 1884.

 Tod have tic long-ioug Message to dii- gest, and will not trouble you with much to day. The Secretary of. the Senate was engaged an hour and half in the reading of 1t The trade against the Bank IS but concoction of all the Globes slang for seven years past. The recommendation of the sale of the government stock is what was eypectad and sincerely hone that our friends will not be caught in this gull trap. 1t Is a fact, that the administration do not want to sell thls stock, though they recommend it. The object of it's intro duction in the Message Is to keep up the agitation on the Bank question, so that Mir. Van Buren may ride into the Presidency upon its strength; for he well knows that so long as he can keep Clay, Webster and others parrYing these wicked assaults upon corporation, he can keep out of sight all the violations of law and he constitution, while they are violated only through the Bank.

 The matter about the French treaty is curious matter. could have inserted better history of the negotiation than the President has. lfhe had said that Rives' folly in boastlng so loudly for electioneer- ing purposes over this treaty, had made the French believe, that Brother Jonathan had outWitted them. and thus dlsgusted them with their bargain, he would have sum- med Up the whole trouble. Asit Is, we must get our pay as We Can. Itis an ad- mInIstration matter, and let Us not run our heads against this vindfall. The Presi- dent is only bullying France a little. There Is no intention of urging on Congress to the reprisals spoken of. If France has the pluck she once tad, she will act none the sooner under lhis bullying. However this Is all matter of taste. No doubt the French government mean, If they can, to trick us. now that Mir. Rives foollshly per- suaded them to believe that he treked them; and thus all we have to do, If this bullying has TO effect, is either to legislate the money out, or to force it out of them.
