Our government, during the time it has been in power, has had relations with a certain number of foreign States —with England, ba and Portugal, which were parties to the quadruple alliance ; with It y, by the cupetion of America ; with Belgium, occasioned by the revolu- tion in that country; with the United Stat which claimed from ita debt of twenty-five millions ; with Mexi- co and Buenos Ayres, in the interests of the French mer- chants there ; with Morocco, on the subject of Abd-el- Kader ; with the Pacha of Egypt, respecting the occw- Syria; with the Sultan, respecting the Chris- pation o! tians in the Lebanon. Unfortunately, all these ne have been attended with injury, humilation, and danger, and it jnay be maintained with every appearance of Tea- son, that the States towards w it now stands in the most favorable position are precitaly, those with which it how had no relations.
