Some words in Season.
We received Tuesday morning the
following Letter from our able Cores.
pendent in the North Of Germany
His correspondence has been Interrupt
ted by a tour which he has made for
three months. through Belgium, Hol-
land and Germany. We have no
doubt our readers, when they recog-
nize the old and familiar signature Of
"Agricola," will rejoice at his reap
peafance, not less than ourselves
His present letter comes exactly In
time. Little did he dream, when, he
hte it, that his appeal to the Senators
esuf the U. States would come exactly
in season, to arouse their attention to
the great interests of Texas and the
Union. We give the letter precisely
in the form in which we received it,
as well as the communication Ito be
published on to-morrow) which it en-
closes, translated from HThe Bremen
Gazette mutilating and extenuating
not line or syllable. Let them go
for what they are worth--and let them
have all the respect to which they are
entitled, coming from one Of the ablest
American observers who ever visited
Europe, and withhis heart still bound,
though by lenthened chain,to the in
terests of his own free and great coun.

To the Editors ofthe Enqsirer:1 da
Dear Sirs: In nay letter, ofJune lst,
/ remarked. that, although M. Guizot,
from currentrumor, had protested against
the annexation Of Texas to the United
States, yet such measure would find
no favor with the people of France:-
That 1t wasa government act, which,
ift, meant any thing more than pords,
could never be carried into execution.
OF the truth of these assertions, [ am
now most thoroughly convinced
Not day elapses, that | have not adj
ditional evidence that the Ministry
which could have the temerity to es-
pouse the quarrels of England, would
be speedily superseded The protest
was intended by Great Britain for a
mere scare crow, and thus far she
could use the Government of France,
humiliating as was the spectacle to
chiyaIric and noble minded French
men, as cats paw. But let NJ. Gui-
got dare to make the annexation of
Texas cause of war against the Uni
States, and he will find himselfin the
midst of a revolution of an utterly diff
ferent character from that which occur
red in Paris in July, 1880. The
wounds of deadly hate have pierced
too deep in the bosoms of Frenchmen,
for them ever to become reconciled tc
the :sIsland Giant and the outbreak
Of indignation would be perfectly terrif-
&c, if the proposition was made to them

sdisrespectfully of my countrymen, as
to believe that they were to be intimida-
ted BY threats, proceeding from any
quarter when engaged in the prose-
acution Of an honorable object,as slim
ulous in this case, l would say to them
you have nothing whatever to fear
e.som France: She has sufficient en-
oyment in taking care of herself.
- How maryellously strange does it
appear to the disinterested portion OF
the civilized world, that our country
should manifest any hesitation, under
the circumstances, of accepting the o.
.vertures of the clone starr The bat
tie of San Jacinto was as fatally deci-
siye to the hopes of Mexico, as that Of
York Town was to great Britain
