FRANCE.—A letter from Paris again speaks of the intention of France to discontinue the present equal footing in the U. S. and return to the distinguished sounding yarn-and compass of her neglect of our claims. The treaty has been said to be more favorable to France than to us.

There is a party in France who have not been friendly to the new King. They would prefer the Duke d'Angoulême. But he cannot set aside his brother—he would prefer the Duke of Orleans in any direct line, because they look upon him not only as an enlightened liberal man, but because his ascending the throne, if by chance, would bring them nearer to the principle of the Revolution, and farther from the old family bayonet forced upon them by foreign bayonets.—But there is yet another fault still dearer to them—the son of Augouste on!

Event Details

A letter from Paris reports France's intention to discontinue the current equal footing with the U.S. and revert to previous terms due to neglect of U.S. claims, with the treaty considered more favorable to France. A party in France opposes the new King, preferring the Duke d'Angoulême or the Duke of Orleans, viewing the latter as enlightened and liberal, aligning with revolutionary principles over the old family imposed by foreign bayonets. Another fault dearer to them is the son of Augouste.
