LONDON, OCT. 8.
The Paris papers are received to
Mondays date.-There are in these pa
lpers vehement disputes and contradicto-
ry statements respecting the state OF
Europe. On one side, war is announced
between Russia and the joined powers OF
Austria and Prussia. France, it is
added, cannot resist being drawn i'll, and
hence the fall ofthe French funds. We
cannot observe any facts stated, or any
interests in conflict which could justify
the belief in an approaching war. The
most active f,rment appears III France
! herself---not among the mass OF the peo-
pie, who are 70 all appearance prosper
Gus and contemed--but among the party
leaders, who are engaged in an earnest
struggle for power.

IRUN, SEPT. l9.
With regard to the Florida treaty,
some new facts come out daily. Among
other extraordinary circumstances, the
Spanish minister required of Mr.. For
syth categorical answer, whether or
not he authorized, in case his Catho-
lie majesty agreed to ratify the treaty, to
annex thereto new article, in which the
United States would pledge themselves
not to ack knowledge the independence of
Buenos Ayres. 1t is understood that the
American plenipotentiary readily an
swered, that although his instructions
gave him no powers to enter into new
articles, but merely to urge the ratifca-
ton of an instrument that already wore
perfect and official form, yet neverthe-

that such a proposition was totally mad

pressions were, that the United States
would recognize the independence of
Buenos Ayres, or any other of the free
sections Of South America, which had
sufficient strength and stability to warrant

policy with regard to the new states of
South America, was totally independent

from Withdrawing from Madrid the very
instant it was notified to him the ratihca-

this spirit of forbearance he should await
the final instructions of his government,
which he hoped to receive before the
end of September. At the close of this
interesting and spirited communication,
Mr.. Forsyth assured the Spanish cabi-
