AMERICAN VIEWS FROM ABROAD.
Extract Of letter from France, Nov. Icy Lie las


81 send you by this conveyance number of Gi-
gnani's paper in which you will find some inter-
esing articles on the over speculation in railroads;
the apprehended scarcity in England; the embarrass-
ment of France by the success of Abd-el-Kader. 1t
is said that, after much pour pfess he has agreed to
an exchange of prisoners but on condition of thee
TO one"
an American abroad, whose opinion is entitled to
respect.
'PARIs, Nov. IL.
81 quite agree in opinion with you and 'Tho
Union about the intermeddng of the two cordial
powers on the river Plata and think it high time
that the New World should resist the interference
and dctation of the old. l regret that Louis Phil
ppe is suffering himself to be drawn into compan-
ionshp with England in her transatlantic policy,
and am convinced the nation will not bear him out
in it. Our own affairs with England are getting
more and more into critical state. The assump-
tons of England to the Oregon question
lust and her treatment of our claims insulting. Her
press has persuaded her people that we acting in
the matter like land-prates, and has rritated our
people by its abuse: The question, therefore, is
made excessively difficult of adustment--thc pride
of both parties being pitted not to recede step.
believe our government has offered as much as il
cam and more, perhaps, than the growing war-sprit
of the mighty West would bear II out in offering
again. This offer has been rejected by the British
minister at Washington, and will not be repeated.
Offers must come from England, and the longer
they are delayed the less graciously they will be
entertained. look with great anxiety to the mes
sage Of the President England evidently considers
our relations in very precarious state, and is ma
king extraordinary preparations for the possibility
of hostile event. As affairs stand between us,
think, in case ola war, we should have justice on
side; and the sympathies of the nations Of Eu-
rope would be with us, however averse might be
the policy of some Of their governments. l
hope we shall not mar Our position by any
inconsiderate action, and at the same time make no
degrading concession deprecate war; but if peace
cannot be maintained with dignity let war come.
Ii would be disastrous to me and mine; but have
no dread of it in national point Of view We might
suffer grievously at first; but believe the nation
would come out of it with increased and consoida-
ted power, and independent of all the world. long
war, on the contrary, might shake the British en-
pirc to its foundations"

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 30, 1S45


{" You may fire the big guns. AT quarter
before nine tonight, the Senate passed the
house Resolutions, with the addition of
benton's bill, leaving the option with the
ioFesldentto present either TO Texas. The
contest vas q desperate and tremendous one
every possibe>sort of amendment being
offered by the Whigsto cmbarrass the ques-
ton. Every Democrat voted as rue as steel
on every question, as did Merich and He'll
derson. Johnson occasionally falered-
Foster bolted at the start, and could never
be got into the track-disappointed in get
ting the whole credit, he turned against the
whole scheme, as shown by every act, while
he protested to be for it. The intense in
terest you may we'll imagine, when it was
obvious Johnson's vote was to decide the
question, and he voted sometimes one way,
and sometimes another. Such deep anxiety
never saw in the Senate Chamber-such
almost infinite variety of forms the objections
and impediments were made TO assume,
never witnessed-nor such ardent appeals as
were made to get back the straying memb-
ers Of the flock. 1t seemed as if the very
existence of the Wings depended on defeat
ing the measure; and most ably, and adroits
ly, and skilfully, did they conduct the fight.
But all would not do-the ominous 81 still
appeared whenever vital question was
made; and after. numberlcss yeas and nays
were taken, up 10 the engrossment, MIR.
Crttenden appealed to his friends, and said,
they had fought nobly; but it was evident
the measure was to be carried, and further
resistance was useless; whereupon, the vote
ON the passage of the joint resolution was
taken, and proclaimed without the ayes and
noes.
The crowd was immense-1 never saw tho
like-yet not whisper was heard-breath-
less silence prevailed throug ghout-and the
remarks of Mr. Crittenden had such an
effect that not feeling of triumph was
evinced, nor word spoken aloud, although
nine-tenths of the spectators seemed TO be
delighted at the result. The amendments
are all improvements TO the House5 resolu-
tions, provided they be concurred in; and
the universal impression is, that no difficulty
will be presented in the House.
Bagby excused himself by saying, the
Joint Resolutions presentedsa constitutional
mode of acquiring Texas. If 1t should be
adopted, he would confirm the act; but if
an unconstitutional mode should be adopted,
he would oppose the confirmation hereafter

its notes ofrejoicing and the streaming ban

"FUR1oUs-The Washington correspon-

Gen, Almonte, the Mexican Minister, was
on Saturday only awaiting the signature of
the President and his Proclamation announ-
cling the Texas Resolutions, to demand his
passports, and make his protest, and leave
for Mexico. Let him 60, and comfort Santa
Anna, who sent him here, if he can. What
has Mexico to do about the matter She
has no control over Texas, which has been
acknowledged as an independent nation
Spain has as much reason to complain as
