loud cheers.) Sir, with this wish that such
may be the prelude Of this bill, to which trust
the other House of Parliament, should il pass
by great majority here, will give their assent,
shall give my hearty support to the motion
for a third reading. (Great cheering)


Towards the close Of the speech on the corn
question, the same evening, Sir Robert Feel,
determined not to be outdone in politeness by
the leader Of the opposition, spoke as follows


The noble lord q. Russell) says he hopes
that the discussions which have threatened the
maintenance of amicable relations with the
United States will be brought 10 fortunate
close. Sir, think can appeal to the course
which we have pursued, against some obloquy,
some misconstruction, some lnslnuahons, lnat
were abandoning the honor OF this country


think can appeal to the past experience
Of this government, that it has been our earn
est desire, by every effort consistently with the
national honor, to maintain friendly relations
with every country on the face OF the globe.
This principle, SO long as we are intrusted
with the management OF public affairs, Will
continue 10 influence US in respect to the set
tlement of our unfortunate differences with the
United States. (Cheers)


This, taken in connexion with the resolu-
ton of the Senate gives us every reason to be-
lieve that we are at the end of our differences,
and that short time only can elapse before
the possibility of a misunderstanding between
England and America will be removed.


FRANCE.


The receipt of the g Oregon Notice in
France, created little or no sensation, the
French press seeming to consider its passage,
as amended by the Senate, " tres conciliante."


The position of affairs with Mexico, how
ever, excited considerable interest.


Lecomte, who fred at Louis Philippe, has
not yet been brought to trial. It appears that
the crown lawyers have some reason to sus-
pect he was the tool of political faction.


Our .Merican Relations. The Paris cores
pondent Of Wilmer g. Smiths Times thus
speaks Of Our. Mexican affairs:


The state of affairs between the United
States and Mexico excites considerable interest
here; but little is said thereon. either in con-
versation or by the newspapers. The latter,
however, carefully translate all intelligence
they can find in the American and English
papers bearing on the subject. Of course,
there is but one opinion, that if the poor devils
of Mexico 60 10 war with the United States,
they will get most terrible licking


| From what can collect, am of opinion
that if the United States, at present., were to
attempt to conquer Mexico, or even to annex
any considerable portion Of its territory, they
would cause great dissatisfaction In France
and in all probability, would have to encoun-
Ter the decided hostility of the French govern
ment. A reference to M. Guizot's very re-
markable speeches on the Texan question will
show that France attaches very great impor-
tance TO the preservation of Mexico as sepa-
rate nation, and that, apart from that consider
alton, il would regard unfavorably any further
aggran1isement of the United States.


Mr.. Polk, it is true, has declared that neither
France nor England shall interfere in the af-
fairs of the American continent; but then, Nj:
Guizot has also declared in the most formal
manner, in the name of France, that it will,
in spite of Mr.. Polk, interfere as often, and in
such manner, as it pleases in American affairs.
say again, then, that my opinion is that any
SEIZURE of Mexican territory by the United
States Government would be stoutly objected
to by France and, no doubt, also by England.
II would be ludicrois in me to presume to
| advise American statesmen as to the course to
| adopt in the present posture OF affairs but
say TO American ournalsts-Wait Wait |!
Watt and in a few years Mexico will be
yours but if you attempt TO seize it now, or
any portion of it, you will most likely have to
count with England and France, and in that
case you may depend upon it that England
and France united will be too strong fer you.
