Hghly Important from EnroPe-Posltion 81
France and ENGLAND on Tie Teras Question.
The inlellisence-onc week later-brought By
the "Roscius"-is Of highly interesting charac-
Ter Full details OF the commercial and other
news will be found under their respective heads
in another portion of our columns
The most Interesting and important news is
that relating to the movements OF The fTush Co.
vernment with respect to the Question OF Texas
annexation. 1t is now quite evident that Eng
land is making every possible exertion 10 obtain
The CO operation of the French Government in
opposiDe The annexation of Texas 10 this coun-
try. We see it broadly suggested by The S'cele,
that Great Britain is willing to concede The right
of search on condition that the French Govern
ment unite with her against The Y. States on Inc
Texas question. This movement has probably
&C mnch reference 10 The Oregon question as 10
that of Texas annexation
We were not unpreparcd for this intelligence.
On looking over our files oil French journals
received by the last Havre packet, we had seen
il stated ip some papers OF no mean authority in
political affairs, that the French Government
have instructed their Minister in Washington to
concur with the British Minister there in remon-
srating against the annexation OF Texas by THIS
country. When we took in connexion with this
declaration coming from Inc Constt'atona Oh
paris Statement, pul forth by The London Times
that The French Government had concurred with
the English Government on the same question,
the supPosilion was hardly to be avoided, that
on this subject Louis Philippe and his minister,
Gnizot had been playing double game both
with England and the United States. Accord
ing to he recent documents published by Mr..
Calhoun, there seems to be no reason TO douot
that Mr. King, our Minister in Paris was in,
formed by Guizot of the entire neutrality OF
France. This declaration BY no means cores
nonds with those statements put forth by the
journals Of London and Paris--journals, TOO,
that have access TO information almost official.
II this double policy should be praciised by the
French Government in the present crisis OF the
Texas question in Europe, it may lead 10 some
serious eneuie in the present French Ministry, as
soon as the French press and the French people,
who are represented by that press shall have as
cenained The facts There can be no donbt of the
truth Of the axium, that France will never, with

suing,none seems calculated TO be more useful
and interesting than" Mitchelrs General Tier
Of the World" The reputation of S. Au-
gustus Mitchell as a geogropher, map design

book a general ciroulation-as a work of re-
ference it is useful and convenient and should
be upon The desk of every counting room
and study-as q work calculated for the de-
fusion Of general knowledge among the young
it is valuable, and should be possessed by
every family.
The work contains over 500 octave page;
and upwards of 1000 Engravings. Also at
tached to the work is u Chart representing
the Flags Of the different nations
Mr.. Henry Bill is stopping at the Sher
