France Threatened with Privateers.
—The correspondent of the Shipping Gazette at Nantes writes :—": —" Not a little commotion has been caused here by the news, contained in letters from New York, that President Juarez, of Mexi> o. intends to issue letters of marque against France, and that three privateers are being fitted out in United States ports for the purpose of attacking French ships, and particularly the large steamers of the Transatlantic Company, which ply between St. Nazaire and Vera Cruz. But the belief among reflecting persons is that the United States Government can hardly be so imprudent as to run the risk of coming into collision with Prance by tolerating anything of the kind. If, however, privateering, should be attempted, the Ministry of Marine at Paris is understood to have already taken measures for very energetic action." Why was Hamlet so courageous in addressing his father's ghost 1 Because he was not particular to a shade.
