have presented the reading community, during the
last few weeks with several curious remarks on the
precarious state of feeling between France and
England, In consequence Of the difficulties IN Ia

ton Of a correspondence, taken from the German
paper, "die Deutsche Schnsupost." published in this
city, which places the whole matter in different
and very interesting light. The opinion given by
this paper sentitled to SO much more consideration
since it forms the organ Of the most distinguished
German Liberals, who seek in this happy and free
country channel through which they might speak
the word of truth to their

thinking, at least ofgiving utterance-be it by sign,
word or writlng-to any thought which clasheswith
the most revolving system Of mental oppression, SO
powerfully organized in Germany. The commune
caiion in question is said to come from an eminent
German statesman, who holds one Of the highest
Offices, and who resides atpresent in Paris.
