NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
FROM OUR EUROPEAN CORRESPONDENT.
PARIs, SEPTEMBER 80, ls45

Speculation in journalism is nearly as wild and
rife here as in railroad enterprise. Fourteen pa
pers are about TO be started two of them the Epoch
and the Sun, of enormous dimensions-daily cy-
clopedias to embrace every subject under its proper
head Huge capitals in stock are announced, toge-
Their with the sponsorship of banking-houses and
popular authors. The Constitutional remarks
!" Every body tries TO make fortune some how
+. nowadays; we are becoming English Ameri-
cans-that is to say very little inclined TO chatting
or reading, but wonderfully deep in business" II
would be difficult for me to say how many jour-
nails fitted out most ambitiously and sanguiney,
have seen perish within the eight years past. The
Epoch and the .Sua though 10 be as cheap proper
tionably as they are capaclous, may not live more
than twelvemonth. There is a General Society
Of the Press, with four papers under weigh and
flag inscribed "Unversality -cheapness. Several of
the old oracles have purchased exclusive rights for
their feue,ons of all the past and future publca-
tons of the most voluminous and prolific of the
popular novelists, such as Eugene Sue and Aexan-
der Dumas. The Constitutional has undertaken
10 issue, "rapidy in parts, in the Select Library
which belongs TO its third page, ffy-t,co Uolumes
Of Sue, including about thirty three that have not
appeared in any journal. You could not imagine
in how many shapes this country may add the
whole continents deluged with the vicious cru
dities of scores of such artifcers, stipendares on
exorbitant wages. The following paragraph, from
good source, is an adequate account Of the Span
fish press, in its infancy:
"Journas here represent for tho part the views of
individuals OF cques, and supported for temporary
purposes, to advance the party objects of two ind
vidua But for this object there would be half the

sos and Government Gazette it may easily be supposed that
they are supported mercantile specuaons 1t is also
be observed that the Moderado which the least hume
rous of the three parties have many daily journals sup
port other Of all the twelve daily political jour
mails enumerated there only one, the Posdaa that supports
the Government which appears completely to disregard the
attacks of the rest of the press and does deign
make of the official Gazette above in quarter but
allows it Gil its columns with descriptions of the of
the Laplanders of the of the American Indians
"It is impossible that any Government could entirely
disregard the press really represented public opinion

Out of the nine elections of Deputies, the Oppo-
stion claim success in thrse, but in fact they have
carried only one candidate on whom they can rely.
In the election at Vendome, engagements on their
side were imposed on the Conservative candidate,
but he can easily elude them in the Chamber. Min
isterial management is always the most skilful.
Nine Deputies, most Of them mediocrities and some
OF them troublesome, have been translated TO the
Chamber of Peers, where they will serve implicit
ly; and at least seven substitutes gained, most
of whom possess considerable talents. Coalitions
between Legtmsts and Radicals, in several cases,
utterly failed. You are aware that Lyons is rich
city, of three hundred thousand inhabitants, and of
distinction in letters education, and the professions

Some of the party organs cry out against the al
legged delay Of the British and French ENJOYS to La
Plata, in exercising force in their mediation: others
protest against armed Intervention as breach of
the law of nations, Montevideo and Buenos Avres
being recognised independent States They dwell
on the adverse interference real supposed of the
representative of the United States. The Commerce
argues that the American Government must be lea
lous of such proceedings as those Of the oficious
and peremptory mediators, and naturally sympa-
thizes with RosAs, who repels foreign agency and
prepotence. If we be correctly informed concern
ing uLfinatua sent to the chief of Buenos Ayres
by Mr.. OUsELEy, it does not quite agree with Sir
ROBERT PEELs observations, in the last session of
Parliament about the Difference due to the national
sovereignty of the La Plata belligerents. Monte

that the French residents have paid dearly for pro-
longing the struggle by their military spirit. A let
ter dated July Sd says:

The Courier du Hapre, observes: "The poll
cy Of the Cabinet Of Washington is that there
should be no European Intervention between the
sovereign communities Of the American continent;
: the blockade of Buenos Ayres, the occupation Of
: the island Of Martin Garcia, and the interruption
Of the free navigation of the Plata and its tribu-
taries, would prove highly injurious to American
commerce, and those measures would have no pre-
text or excuse in any direct special wrong done to
