The EFFECT IN FRANCE OF THE RIO
GRANpE VICTORIES Walsh, the
Paris correspondent of the National Intel.
ligencer, speaking Of the effect of Gen.
Taylor's victories, says:


Before the end of the sitting of the Depu
ties on the I7rh inst, two eminent members
of the Chamber (of the opposition) went to
Versailles, where then was, to congratu-
late me on the Rio Grandc occurrences,
and to describe the effect of the intelligence
on the Chamber. Lively satisfaction per-
vaded the assembly; most of the Conser.
vatives even betrayed that feeling; Mr..
Guizot, two OF his colleagues, and few
of his party, the nearest and most devoted,
were alone chap-fa.len; their disconcertion
served to amuse the rest. Ii was added
by my visiters that, should war between
the United States and England ensue,
twenty thousand French volunteers. under
the command of experienced officers, would
at once endeavor to reach your shores, for
the purpose of joining in the invasion:of
Canada. This does not pass from me as
an Indictment TO war, which deprecate
as much as any one, under the proper re-
serves of honor and right; but it is meant
as evidence Of the disposition of the French
in general. They are far from being re-
conciled to the British. With a few ex-
ceptions. have not, in my long and various
intercourse with Frenchmen, encountered
any one entertaining for the British, as a
nation. other sentiments than Jealousy, dis
like, and immemorial resentment. Veteran
officers of the garrison Of Versailles, with
whom have chatted at the reading room,
which frequent there, on the operations
of Gen. Taylor, pronounce the most fat
tering judgment in respect TO boldness, skill
and the entire professional process.
