and the public Of Paris On the first the feeling is,
upon the WHOLE against America that is against the
pretensiors put forth in the Presidents harangue,
which excited such striking demonstration in the
British Parliament.
The Journal DIES Debats, the principal ministerial
organ, and which is understood to speak the per-
sonal sentiments Of his Majesty Louis Philippe him.
SELF has declared, in the most express and decided
terms, that the demands Of the American President
to the whole territory Of Oregon are unreasonable
and extravagant; and it has intlmated In OF course
carefully weighed and cautious terms, that IN the
event Of rupture between England and America,
the sympathies, if not the actual interference OF
France, would be with England
The Globe, another ministerial organ,- peculiarly
under the control of M Guizot Minister for Foreign
Affairs, has also warmly rebuked what 1t calls the
arrogant pretensions of Mr. Polk.
La Presse is, like the Globe and the Debdts, OF
Conservative principles, but it is opposed to the
present Ministry, and is remaIkaoIe ior us Dides
Presse has declared on than occasion, that
the demands Of the Government of the United
States to the territory of Oregon not sustaina-
cal newspapers have enterd into serious exami
nation Of the NATTER bnt they have acclaimed bitterly
against perfde Albion, against her pride, haughti-
ness and unustlfiable AMBITION and all that sort OF
thing every day of their lives, am not disposed to
attach the slightest importance to what they say.
The Constitutional, which is the organ OF nj
Theirs, has said very little indeed on the question,
sumed leaning to England, TO "the prejudice OF an
ancient and faithful ally like the United States"
Thus them you see that as tar as the press goes the
public feeling of this country is in favor OF Great
Britain we'll aware that ii all the TRADES against
that country were to be set by the side OF those
in favor OF it, the former would be In the majority;
but then it must be borne in mind, first that the Jour-
nails which make the most noise do not representthe
opinion of serious and rejecting men, and next,
and above all, that in the two Chambers they
have either party at all, OF party which IS n
a. miserable minority In the Parliament itself,
of course, there has been no discussion on the
Oregon question, though one or two opposition
members, with, perhaps, more zeal than discre-
ton, have endeavored to provide one. From all
have read seen and heard, my opnlonis, that IN the
event of rupture between Great Britain and the
ment, Legislature, and, may add, Of the majority
of the people of this country would be with
England, partly because they would think that
justice would be on her side, but principally be-
cause their policy has been IL, and will no doubt,
continue to be, the preservation of cordial and int
mate alliance between Great Britain and France. 1T
an outbreak unhapply takes place, France, would,
no doubt maintain strict ncutray but II that neu
traiy should become impossible, then, believe,
she would deem it her duty, interest and policy, to
rally herself with England rather than the U States.
In saying this, you must bear IN mind that speak on,
y from the present state Of the political horizon and
from belief that nothing is at all likely to occur to
change it. After all, however, the speculation may
be very idle one; for the general opinion seems to
be here, especially since the last advices from New
York, that the Oregon question will be satisfactorily
arranged.
On the Texas question the same state Of feeling
has not been exhibited. The majority Of the press
applaud annexation apparently from no other motive
than the belief that it is dlsagreeable to Great
journals have not spoken decidedly against
It, though it is impossible to SAY that
they upprove of it. It is not known at
present what proceeding the mmentwiIl adopt
in protesting against annexation, or whether It will
take no step in the matter. Nevertheless, the an
ncxation is, for the most part regarded as wn fat
accompli The threatened hostility OF Mexico Is

that annexation would be mutually advantageous to
the States and Texas and that the latter, in particu

Ireland.
AT the usual weekly meeting of the Repeal Assoc
citation, the 18th inst. the rent amounted to tSz6
lbs Id. Mr.. O'Connell stated that he proposed to
disregard the threatened call OF the House OF Com
mons, as he satisfied that the act OF the lrlsh
Parliament had no right authority to legslate for
the Irish people, still unrepeaed, notwithstand-
ing the Act Of Union passed in 1900.
O'Connel is going to put PEEPS temper to Sc
we're test, by holding another series of monster"
meetings. "Tara Of the Kings" spot sacred to
Irish patriotism, will shortly be the scene OF ga
that which revived its ancient glories two years
back, when upwards of million OF people assem-
bed to hear the magic of O'Connelps voice; and to
mass is to be said in the open air, previous to the
political business ofthe day.
We have received the Paris journals OF the nth
