FRENCH PAPERS.

From the Paris papers of Sunday, which did not
arrive until a late hour yesterday afterno•)n, we learn
that the division in the Chamber of Peers on the pre-
vious day, was looked upon by the Ministry as a great
triumph.
The following appears in the Presse

" It was confidently stated yesterday (Saturday) that
the Minister Plenipotentiary of her Britannic Majesty at
Washington had received his passports after a very warm
discussion, which he had with Mr. John Calhoun, Secre-
tary of State, and in which he declared to the latter
gentleman, that if the United States should persevere
in their intention to annex Texas, England on her
side would resume the designs which she had formed
relative to the island of Cuba, and which she had
given up, with regret, only on the representations made
to her by the United States. If our information be cor-
rect, it was in consequence of this declaration that the
American Minister, after having defied the Britannia
Envoy to realise his threat, signified to him that he had
nothing el'e to do but to take his passport. Although
this news came to us from a good source we confine our-
selves to stating it, without guaranteeing its exactitude."

We do not believe there is a word of truth in this
statement.

The National publishes a report drawn up and
signed by several French merchants and captains of
ships on the Gambia, relative to the seizure of the
Carieuse. They declared that there was nothing in
the outfits of the Carieuse which could in the slightest
degree lead to the suspicion that she was engaged
in the slave trade, and that since ships are seized
upon such frivolous pretexts, they tremble for the
ships of which they themselves are the owners, or
have the command. They also complain that in
passing to Albreda French ships are obliged to de-
posit their papers with the English authorities.
The National says that the only way of getting a
remission of the treaties of 1831 and 1833 is by
giving orders to French cruisers on that coast to give
such trouble to all English merchantmen carrying on
trade upon that coast as will make the right of search
past beating.
The Journal des Debats says, that on Friday,
which was a cold frosty night, M. GUSTAVE D
BEAUMONT and the Marquis DE LANGLE watched all
night at the door of the Chamber of Deputies, in
order that they might be the first to inscribe their
names on the list of the speakers against the Address.
A letter from Warsaw, of the sth instant, says
that the Emperor of Itussi.t. was expected there in
the beginning of May.
Accounts from Switzerland says that several can-
tons are in open warfare. At Argovie the insur-
gents, after having taken the arsenal without any
resistance being offered on the part of the Govern-
ment, seized on the ammunition and other stores,
which were then collected in large quantities and
marched towards Lucerne, where they were to meet
the insurgents of the other cantons. The canton of
Berne was taking measures to refuse a passage to
persons coming from Friburg to join the other mal-
contents at Lucerne.
