Paris, June l6.-M. Billbaut, one of the
most eminent members of the Opposition, charg-
ed the Government with having Joined England
In opposing the annexation of Texas to the Uni
Ted States, in return for the concession England
has made to France Of the right Of search treaty.
M. Guizot, (who is quite restored to health, and
who reappeared in the Chamber on Tuesday, de-
MED that any stipulation relative to Texas had
been made with regard to the abandonment OF
that treaty. He then observed, that if Texas
was DESTROYS OF annexing itself to the United
States, the French Government had nothing to say
against 1t; bat he admitted that it would be
more agreeable to that Government, and more
consistent with its interest, u the annexation did
not tdse place. His words, as quoted from the
Moniteur, are,-"'This is all that can saw now
about Texas.
"lf that country wishes to give up its indie
Pendence and incorporate itself with the United
States, IL this is really the object, the intent, of
the people Of Texas, we have nothing to say,
nothing to do in opposition to it. But, if, on
THO Coutrarys tne people Oh texas Wish 10 pre-
serve their independence, not only we have no
reason to oppose it, but do not hesitate to say,
that France must approve her conduct, and ac.
kaowledge that she is in the right"
He added that the mercantile treaties into
which France had entered with Texas promised
to be most advantageous to her, and that it is
greatly to her political interest that the three
great powers of the American Continent (those
Of the United States. England and of Spanish
1origin) should maintain their present balance of
~power-that neither should gain the preponder-
ance. Such is the view taken Of this moment
question by the French Government; but, though
that view is certainly of considerable Importance,
and will, no doubt, excite much attention in the
United States, every one seems to be of the opin-
ion that the annexation will take place, if indeed
It be not already accomplished and most pub.
lie men believe that the annexation will be very
advantageous both to the United States and Tex
as. 1t is believed that the Cabinet of Washing:
ton will feel some little surprise on learning the
opinion expressed by NJ. Guizot for it had not
merely counted on the strict neutrality OF the
French Government on the annexation question,
but had believed that il had its most hearty SYM
patty.
