| make alliances more eonsOnant with her own feel
ings and conducive 10 her true interests. The pO-
llucal course Of France will, in the language OF M
Theirs, become independent which, II II ever was
during the last fifteen years, she only owed TO the
attitude assumed by the United States. Thus il
seems that we are on the eve of very important
changes, and that, notwithstanding the threatening
appearance Of the heavens, the strom which menaced
us will blow over il ourselves are not deficient in
fortltude and courage.


The discussions Of the Chambers have lost their
usual interest, no one paying much attention TO the
vows OF dying members, and TO The ministerial
msjorues that have 10 be made good by new
elections In other respects there Is very little
worth communicating. The king OF the French
continues personally TO take as much interest
IN America and the Americans as ever, though un-
fortunately M GuiZot continues his reserve. M.
Theirs, whose opinions will IN the end be facts,
because It is impossible to prevent ms ultimate sue
cesson TO the ministry, Is nrm IN MS views as re-
CARDS the United States and large portion OF con-
seryatyes share in that respect the opinion of the
minister of March, l840.


The peaceful eounter-reyolutiOn IN Spain-peace-
full ill Dow-has produced little or no sensation IN
Paris The matter is only discussed IN the papers,
and not even there with much zeal or interest The
fact is the fate of the peninsula has tired the ex-
pectations Of Europe, and in that proportion dimin-
ished the sympathies of the civilized world. These
eternal revolutions and eounter-reyoutions, pronun-
ciamentos, proclamstioBs, and exocuuons-the ca
marila ntrigues and the conspracIes OF ministers,
mobiles, and generals, which have done no possible
good, decimated Spain, and flung her back to the
ages Of barbsrism-disgust rather than interest
the attentive spectator. Spain has degeneraled To
the condition Of Mexico, and interests us only as
far as IL may become willing tool In the hands
Of great nation, be that nation Eagand or France.
The infant Don Enrique, who il was said had re-
ceiyed a hint TO leave for the Havana, az about
TO come here. So says the Journslsss Dcbaiss and
il ought to know. In the present state Of France,
do not believe that anything serious will be oontem-
plated with his person, especially II the United States
show herself united, and ready To come at once to
a conclusion. The whole Europesn press has late
ly become silent on the affairs Of Mexico and the
attentions of England evidently directed in ano-
ther quarter


The Constitutional Of yesterday contained an art-
Gle Of correspondence from London, in which the
designs Of Great Britain on the island Of Chusan
are bespoken without ceremony. England, says
the correspondent, Is determined not TO surrender
the island, though the Chinese have paid the first
nstament. The English will not be at loss for a
pretext and have already found II in Canton. il is
for this reason, probably, that Sir Henry Hardinge
has given up the conquest Of the Punjaub; though
il might be objected that the fighting time for
European troops is nearly over and that, though
English valor has carried the Sikh camp, and
its fixed cannon, the British arms has made but
few or no prisoners, while itself has suffered tire
mendously. Both parties want rest, and we will
hope that they may find il. The letter in the Con-
stitutonne also alludes TO new difficulties in the cab
met encountered by the Irish coercion BILL and the
possibility ofa dissolution Of the cabinet Much
faith is entertained in the wisdom, moderation and
skill of Sir Robert Peel in regard to the peacea-
be settlement of the Oregon question, and some ap
prehensons as the views Of his possible successor


believe in no such report and am sorry to add that
the French papers generally are among the worst in
formed Of the whole world. The other day the
Journal des Debats itself spoke Of the town Of
Leyden as situated in the Rhenish provinces,
though it be a celebrated university Of Holland.
The localities Of towns and countries generally
dsregarded as being too unimportant to affect prin-
ciples IL has been asserted in French paper that
letters written in ministerial bureaus in PaIis were
addressed to persons in "Hong-Kong, or Kong
Kong, little town situated somewhere in the China
seas" These were quoted as proofs Of the genius
OF the French government for extending its colonial
possessions. The news from Algiers continues Ia
vorable. Soliman Pacha arrived in Paris yesterday.


The unexpected delay in the passage of the new
con-law, after the measure has progressed" thus
far is beginning TO anxiety 10 the friends
of free trade. On the other hand, we learn that the
unusually wet season thus far has already injured
the wheat crop of this year in Belgium and some
adjoining provinces. species Of rot or mildew
has been discovered by a Jprofcsxor at Liege who
gave it as bis opinion that nothing but s6niinued
succession Of dry weather can save this years har-
vest Unfortunately, however, we have since had
nothing but a succession of rain. Famine still
rage, in Flanders and in some provinces of Poland
Hungary, and Saxony. The unfortunate event of
the Polish revolution, the incalcuable destruction Of
property and the heavy expenses caused to the gov
ernment, joined to the already existing financial diff
fculties, will necessarily react trade The man.
ufactres Of Germany and France are already feeling
the consequence and England before long, will have
double reason to value the American market.
