general feeling Of dissatisfaction is entertained
against the Ministry, and especially against M. Gn
got, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, for having
permitted the diplomatic agents Of France TO asso-
cate themselves with the agents OF England IN their
exertions 10 induce the Mexican government to ac-
knowledge the independence OF Texas, and to pre-
vent Its annexation TO the United States. 1t is true
that ii is not qntc certain that the French agents,
nor even the English, have taken so very active a
part against annexation as has been represented
but still there the best reason 10 believe that they
regarded it, and do regard il, with anything but favor
EngIands dislike oil annexation may be understood
but France has particular interest either tor or
against the measure Now, as the annexation has
always been morally certain OF accomplishment,
even from the first agitation OF II, she has commit
ted great mistake and great imprudence IN asso-
cating herself in any degree, 10 The opposition to
it for every schoelboy knows that 1t is bad policy
for Cabinet to NEEDLE in dispute between two
nations with which she is very friendly terms,
inasrnuch as take which side she will, she Is sure
TO offend one or the oher and II IS still worse poll
cy to side with that nation which It was clearly to
be foreseen would be the loser In It's conduct on
this unhappy Texas question, the French Cabinet
has wounded the feelings OF the American govern
ment and people, and incurred the risk OF chilling
the warmth Of the alliance that has long existed
between the two countries, without dong any good
to herself and without rendering any real service to
her English ally, whose cause she so qulxoucally
espoused
The London Morning Herald says Texas is of no
consequence TO them, and they would not take her
as gift The United States is welcome to her;
that neither England nor France anything about
her being annexed to this country, and that Mexico
instead of quarrelling about the nuptals, had better
act like a sensible mother, and give her daughter
away.

health is assigned the reason OF his retirement
from office. Our Irish contemporary remarks: "lt
is pretty well understood that this is the third occa-
sion on which Mr.. Lucas has rendered his reslgna-
ton of the Under Secretaryship-once during the
Vceroyaty of Lord de Grey !; second time short
ly after the appointment Of Lord Heytesbury; and
now, when the resignation has been accepted. We
believe, and we have grounds Tor so expressing the
opinion, that for some time Mr.. Lucas had been in a
delicate state OF health, and that latery his eyes
have become extremely troublesome-that the one
