 AMERICA AS SEEN FROM ABROAD.
 IL may interest our readers to know the effect pro- luced upon the mind of Europe by the news oi Ihe acceptance of the terms of xation by the feNlan Congress. And as London and Paris are the two great loci of influence upon the destinies of the Old WorLl, biiei glance al the comments oi their pubic pl ess may give Us an ght nto the real sentiments ol ihe
 The opposition journals in London tauni the min stry most cruelty for their weakness and p0sillan- mily in allowing annexation to be completed The following extract from the "Mornng Chronicle'' clearly shows this. Without intending it, it is com plimentary to the frmness and perseverance of the American authorities. The last paragraph develops the disappointment of England al being stripped of hnse commercial advantages, which the indepen dence CD of Texas would have secured her. We ought 10 rejoice at having reaped all the benefits which Eng land, in vaIn, employed all her diplomacy and cunning to draw within her own embrace. In adding Texas 10 OUT republic, we touched England in a tender point:
 ''The American papers add, that the Oregon diff ference is seltled we'll that of Texas; and lhst this settlement consists in our giving up ihe Coum- ba, and the territory north of II to the 49ih degree of latitude. It would not al all surprise ns.

 "Anoher triumph for the foreign policy of the to- riesi Texas has been annexe, to the United States both branches of it's legisa ure rvalling each other as to which should first consummate il; whilst the offer of independence from Mexlco, so laboriousy, but of course too late, obtinedby our envoy, s flung d. l,0 In whilst the United States troops already occupy the western frontier of Texas.
 "Mr. Polk has certainly commenced his presiden- cy with d very brilliant achievement and in any cir instances he may have been proud. fltnough to | triumph our 'poor devils Ol tOres--thOse by- words of pusllaninlity and bunder, those officials whose late it seems be yield every British right and disappoint every British hope. the smile of tatu ous selfcompacency rising on their visages all the while-to triumph over such selldoomed antagonists can be source of but litte glory.

 Another British journalist gives to Mr. Polk lt- tie mote energy and force o character than some ot the whig press disposed to allow:
 | "Presdent Polk has. however, defeated the pur- l pose of his own Senate, he has out-promised and out -lnannuvred England, caoled the Tcxians into a vote of annexation, and acted thereon promptly by the despatch of ships and regiments to the Rio Grand. Polk has shown himself in this worth, son of Jack son indeed, an improvement upon old Hickory, since he has avoided the violence and bloodshed which ac- companied the generals seizure of the Flordas." I The London Morning Herald, with listess, non chaiaat air, which evidently does not sit naturally upon il, surrenders Texas ''o no consequence 10 | them, and they would not take her as gift. The United States are welcome 10 her; that neither En- land nor France anything about her beIng an- nexed 10 this country, and that Mexico. instead of quarrelng about the nupiels had better act like a | sensible mother, and give her daughter away" This sounds very much like the consolimg exct- nation of the countrynan, when the rabbit escaped from his arms: it was not SD rery fat, after all. :" l To show the feeling of the French people, we quote largely from a very interesting letter oi MT. Walsh, the Paris correspondent of the "Nationa Intellgencer," under the date of August Al. He is the spot, and has had full opportunities of watch ing the nirigues and desigas of the European mon archsts. He speaks like an Afhei iican-like a pa irot He halls the annexakion of Texas as the death-kneell of all attempts on he part of mnnarchi- cal power to "paller, or intrigue with any branch oi the republican American family" Separated from his native land, he is yet warmed by the American spirit, and congratpites his country upon it's noblc triumph over foreign ayarice intrigue, and ambition:

A few days ago, the Journal des Debats expressed, as lingering solace, | the hope that the Texas Congress would find tho terms of admission too hard to be adopted al once, and without qualification; and if the question were referred again the Congress of the Union, perhaps m entire failure would be ihe result!
