The friendly relations which had long existed between France anathe United ‘States, and which it would be his object and all his efforts to maintain, would facilitate the exe- eutian of the honorable task confided to him. He entertained the hepe that he a'so would be aided by the kindness of the Federal Govern- ment, which he had in times past learned to esteem, and which he had preserved in gratefui remembrance. The President replied in s abort address, wel. coming the Viscount as the Envoy Extraordina. ty and Minister Plenipotentiary of France. His former acceptable abode here in another dipio- matie character gave occasion to congratulate him upon kis promotion, and he might rest as- sured that in our intercourse with him we would always bear in mind the origin of our kind re- Jations with his country, and would endeavor to preserve and strengthen them.

Telegraphed Exclusively to The Bvening Star. Toronto, Ont., Dec. 6.—The papers this , in commenting on the President’ mestage, ay, in reference to the enforcement of Canadian rights in the Gulf of St. rence, that the President does not his objection against the action of government upon the seizure of vessels uctuelly engaged in fishing within for- bidden boundaries, but om the seizure and examination of vessels suspected of a design to violate the regulations of the Canadian govern- ment. He states that while a Canadian act per- mits ef such seivures and examinatious the law bas net yet been put in force, and he is resolved to post)one action until actual offence has been iven Whether such seizores and examinations form « necessary part of the police duty of our bavy #saqnestion for the government to con- si ‘We need hardly say, however, that if these intru ought tions New Yorx, day’s ceedings are necessary to ceiving ous rs upon our waters, be enforced, may be made b: go . The threats of retaliation which the President holds out, that Canadian vessels will be refused admission into American ports, avd that the bonded system, as it is called, under which Canadian merchandise passes through the United States, is to be suspended, will not have the slightest effect in preventing the assertion of the just rights of Canada in the watersot the Guif. The number of Ca- nadian versels entering American ports is quite insignificant. The stoppage ot the bonded xys tem might cause some inconvenience to individ- uals in Canada, but it would enormously benetit the other parties,and the chief injury would fall upon the American transportation lines. President Grant may try these measures ot coercion whenever he likes. He will not cause the people of Cana4a to abate their claims one jotor tittle. The President asserts the right ot the United States to free navigation of the St. Lawrence. It is hardly orth while to dispute this claim, whatever rights the American je may posseas to the navigation of the river cer tainly have none to the canals along its banks, ‘Whenever a request has been made to permit the of an American vessel down the river it has always been granted, and the Pres- ideut can bardily allege. therefore that the eight States on the lakes of which he makes so much, bave been seriously injured {by the de- nialofhis claim. it isin — UP the river, we beg to inform his excellency,thaf the trouble arises.

It appears that Mr. Magruder, of thix county, bad Warren’s son, a lad of thirteen or fourteen years of age, in’ his employ, and the father of the boy, residing in Georgetown, D.
