Whether the Morocco dispute willbecome
The occasion Of warin Europe depends al
together on The popular feeling on both
sides ofthe channel, but particularly among
the French people. The occupation Of
Mogadore by the French can only be ten-
porary, unless The. government is driven
by public opinion, into permanent occupa-
tion. from the apprehension that disobe-
dience to The dictates would involve haz-
ards as great for The throne and dynasty,
as the risks attendant on Drawing the 6ppo-
sition ofall Europe TO the'reteniion,ofits
recent coD1uesis in the Mediterranean.

The editors Of .lhe Times produced the
origicals and established their authenticity.
The whole Paris press was, as might have
been expected. 10 SPURIOUS fame, deemiag
it, very properly, a national insult. 4
portion Of the Paris journals reecommen-
ded that Frisafes OF Steamers should be

Now this is such an offence as is pre-
cisely calculated to fan into 6ercer fame,
The growing animosilies of a. portion of.the

ito its own sense Of. dignity, aud those
lnational courtesies that are due between
equals in power and honorable achievement

We should not be surprized If a demand
of this kind were TO follow transactions
so outrageous aud contrary to allthe rules

Washington Sept 90.
We have had rumor here, for several
days, Of the reception by this Government
of advices. showing Than an invasion of
Texas by Mexicoha already taken place.
| The rumor is permature. The Govern
ment has, however, information that an
INVASION is meditated. and they surmise
Thai it is TO be carried into execution by
| ibe aid of British Influence aud British
funds. That the Cabinet held serious
consultation on this subject, prior TO the
| Presidents departure for the Springs, ihero
1 is no doubt. He deferred his departure
for one day on that account. il is now,
understood that this Government is de-
termined upon the course Of policy which,
il will pursue in case the invasion shall
take place. That determination IS. in
brief, that no power shall interfere be-
tween Texas and the U. S., until the PEN
ding question of annexation shall be set
tied. sss -

his residence. in S. c., on The 25,h. He
has been diligently and laboriously em-
ptIoyed 10 the diplomatic duties of his Of
