Mexico and the United states.

The Paris Journal des Debats thus discourses
upon the annexation ef Texas:
The United States deserve applause for the
prosperity they have gained, ard good wishes
for iisprolongs,ion. They form great nation,
which cultivates most admirably the soil on
which it is planted by Providence, and has open.
cd vast fields to civilization, but The domain al
lot,ed to them isquite sufficient to satisfy any
ambitious and enterprsing people. 1t is ten
times the extent of our France, which neverthe-
less is very fine empire. All the acquisitions
required to consolidate them and make them
masters of their own possessions they
have already won by force or negotiation.
They have the valley of the Mississippi. The
Flordas, and all that originally belonged TO the
Indians. What more have they need of? Have
not their 20OOO,000 Of people sufficient room in
their vast territories! If the United States
know their own interest, they would be conten-
ted with what they have.
The civilized world cannot view with indif-
ference their aggrandisement on the Mexican
side, for every inch Of ground they gain in tha,
direction, is so much giveu up to the infamous
institution of slavery. For the political balance
of the world, the conquest Of Mexico by the u.
nited States may create eventuai dangers,
which, though distant, it will be superhuous to
guard against.
Europe, therefore, watches " nh care great
empire which occupies in the Eas, and in the
North an immense surface, covered with po
pc'ation OF slxty.two millions, double that -,
France and that Of Austria, aud quadr', ola ths

of Prussia, and cannot help being filled with the
contemplation of another colossus which may
occupy the whole space Of the isthmus Of Pana-
ina, from the mouths of the st. Lawrence to
Columbia River in Oregon-thus acquiring the
disposal of the most productive cultivatable
lands, and the richest mines of the earth, and
extremely redoubtable at sea.
Between the autocracy of Russia on the East,
and the democracy Of America thus aggrandi-
zed on the West Europe may find herself more
compressed than she may one day think consis-
tent with her independence and dignity. 1t is
not for the interest of Europe that the entirety
Of America should be in one hand, nor do we
think America herself wishes it. Well, then
The conquest of Mexico would be wide step
toward the enslavement of the world by the u
nited States, and levy of bucklers by the Mex
leans at this moment would lead the way to
this subiec,ion. There is, therefore, good rea.
son why the public mind should be turned with
attention toward what is now passing on the o
ther side of the Atlantic.

ANOTHER OUTRAGE IN GREENE, CHESANuo
CouSry, N. Y.-A few days ago We copied
from the Norwich Chenango County On Y.,)
Journal, an account Of an outrage coumitted
upon Mrs, Burdick who was dragged out of
her bed, gagged, thrown into a ditch and rails
piled upon her body, but was afterwards rescu-
ed. The same paper of Thursday last contains
the following particulars Of another outrage at
the same place.
Aaother Horrible Outrage at G,ecne-
Just as our paper is ready for press, we are
startled by letters from Greene, giving us the
account Of another outrage at that pace, al
most, if not quite, as horrible and mysterious AZ
the one of lest week. The letters will speak
for themselves.
Correspondence of the Journal.
GREENE, Oct. Is, ls45.
Another attempt at murder has been made
by kidnapping Mrs. Samuel Varse, and throw
ing her into the Genaganslet Creek, near the
trip hammer Her husband was suspected in
the case of Mrs, Burdick. She was bound, gag
ged, blinded, &c, as was the case before. 1t
has just happened. We are al going out to
surround the woods Yours, &c.
From another Correspondent.
GREENE, Oct. Is, lSi5.
I learn that this Mrs. Farse is a daughter Of
Bethel Gray, and been married but year or
two. She had been out near the creek for some
purpose. and sat down on log 10 rest, near the
mll.pond, VIXEN they came up behind her,
bllndiolded her, tied her hands, and then threw
her into the pond. Every man, woman, and boy
has turned out TO look for the Williams, and such
an excitement was never known in this town
before.
What we are coming to, God only knows.
This must lave taken place about IL o'clock
to-day. The mail is waiting; more tomorrow.

T.. S.-The woman was got out alive, and
who the perpetrators are is yet = mystery, as
she did not see them. She says there were two
OF them, as they talked, and asked lone to tho
other) if they should take her out whether she
would tell, and the other replied she would
let her alone, &c.

Parts Fashions.

The latest prevailing modes OF tie French
capital are thus described by the correspondent
of the Boston Atlas.
Our sex has FOR a long time been copying va
riols articles of masculine attire and the habit
which is spcrtcd this fall by all the ladies' of
fashion, is taken, in shape and form, from the
uniform coats Of the French Guards of the Sc
venteenth century, from which il only differs in
color and texture-nankin or brown silk being
substituted for white cloth, and the copper but.
tons replaced by ivory ones. This habit buttons
up high in the neck; It's collar is small, and
turns over, showing narrow ruff, With neck
ribbon; the sleeves are fiat, and ornamented
with gimp trimming and buttons; the skirts.
which are very short, open in front, and the cor
ners are turned back, and fastened with a but.
ton-in short, it has dashing masculine air,
and sets Of to admiration good form. 1t is not
only in dress that the ladies seek to assume the
reputation of having strong, independent minds,
by copying after The iords Of creation Only
yesterday, saw issue from eme Of the most a.
ristocratic hotels in the faubourg St. Honore a
beautiful carriage lined with white satin, upon
whose luxuriant cushions lolled young and
beautiful countess, smoking a cigar with the
sang froid and ease ola Spanish dandy; and I
know that several of the American ladies' here
are equally partial to the fragrant weed, though
! they properly smoke at home.
An attempt has been made to re-introduce
the Pardessus Odalsques, in white or black
lace, but it did not succeed FOR they only look
well when made Of moussaline, and even then
are not as gracious as mantllas. Nothing can
be prertier than mantla of white mousselne
or Grape lined with rose colored satin, and trim.
