designs on BOrneO Sucn as tDey once SeCTeHB CneT-
ished in Java. This has begoten coolness be-
tween them and the Dutch, who claim dominion
over the nestimabie island as large as all France,
and so forth. =


We cut this note from tho Paris correspondence
Of the National lntelligencer., As to the reaty
Of the designs charged upon England BY the com
merce, of seizng Borneo, we hpprehend there cah
be no doubt; as we published from an English p.
per some weeks since, very detailed account OF
The successive steps which had led to the occupa-
ton of Bornco by the English, and very glow
ing picture or the results which were expected
from lis colonization.


As yet the same English papers, which exu't so
loudly over every fresh acquisition on the part of
Great Britain in the remotest parts of the earth,
which never cease to picture in glowing terms tho
vast extent and the constant. uncoasIng increase OF
her dominions augmented by seizures the most
rapacous and upon preexts The most trivial and
Observation-Disclosures in yfGlen! abuse CT the Uni
ted States for an alleged desire 10 increase their
territory and their power! The same papers which
announce with eXuitation the seizure. fOrclble and
utterly eycuseless, of the large and distant Island
of Borneo by Great Britain do not hesitate to
viIify the annexation Of Texas, achieved as 1t was
by nc full consent OF the party annexed, as ut
tery unJ''s', and as evidence Of cuIpabIe ambition
on the part OF the American government. The
policy and expedency of ex,~.ding our boundaries
are Of course fair matters for diies~sce of opiu-
on--though i. is policy which finds sun.
in the uniform history OF all the nations OF tho
earth, and especially Of that nation which now
most loudly denounces and condcmnsit. But the
vuperaion Of the English press, hurled against
this country on account OF it, is SO clearly and un-
deniaby hypocrticaI. selfish and unpfinc'pled, as
TO merit nothing but contempt. lfthey really be-
Iieye that increase OF territory weakens tho power
that makes it, they have NEST eligible oPPortu-'
nifty, for carryingl their self denying theories into
practice. But so long as they persist in planting
the British flag upon every spot on the earth to
which they can find Or make access. we may fair
iy attribute their opposite counses to this country,
10 selfish jealousy and dread of our grow ng power.
