ITEMS FROM EUROPEAN PAPERS.

letter from Paris, in Wilmer * Smiths
European Times states that the public feeling
OF France on the Oregon dispute between Eng,
land and the United States is against this coun-
try. The ground assumed BY the leading pa
pers Is thus stated
The Journal DIES Debats, the principal min
isterial organ, and which is understood To
speak the personal sentiments of his Majesty,
Louis Philippe himself, has declared i'm the
most express and decided terms, that the de-
mands of the American President To the irhole
| territory of Oregon, are unreasonable and ex-
travagant; and it has intimated in, of course.
carefully weighed and cautious terms, that i'm
the event oil rupture between England and
America, the sympathies. il not the actual in
reference, OF France would be with England.
The Globe, another ministerial organ, peculi
arly under the control of NJ. Guizot, Minister
oil Foreign Affairs, has also warmly rebuked
what 1t calls the arrogant pretcnsions of Mr.,
roik. La Presse is, like the Globe and the
Depats, Oh conservative principles, but il is
opposed to the present Ministry, and is re.
markabie tor its bitter hatred of England and
every thing English, and its earnest hostility
TO the entente cordiale. But even the Presse
has declaredon more than one OCCASION that
the demands Of the Government of the United
States to the territory of Oregon are not sus-
| tainable;
The legitamist. republican, and violently ra.
dical newspapers have not entered into a Sc
rious examination OF the matter; but they have
detained bitterly against perlide Albion, a.
galnst her pride, haughtlness, and unjustifia.
BILE ambition, and all that sort of thing. As.
however, they sing exactly the same thing e.
very day OF their lives, | am not disposed to
attach the slightest importance to what they
say; The Constitutional, which is the organ
oil NJ. Theirs, has said very little indeed ON the
question, and that little was to attack the
Ministry Tor its presumed leaning to England,
TO 1.-THE prejudice of an ancient and faithful al.
ly like the United States" Thus, then, you
see, that as lar as the Press goes, the public
feeling of this country isin favor Of Great Bri.
tain.
On the question Of annexation, the views
OF the Paris press are inclined to the other
side.
The German papers give currency to the
statement that Nj. Leibeg, the celebrated Pro-
lessor OF Chemistry at the University or Giles
sen, has discovered mineral substance which
when combined with guano, will produce one
OF the most fertilizing manures known lit
added that joint stock company, with cap
ltai OF 1000 pounds sterling, composed for
the most part OF leading English capitalists,
was, Immediately on the discovery being made
formed for the purpose of carrying on upon a
large scale the manufacture of the new COM
pound: Among the subscrbersare however,
several eminent professors of agriculture who
according to the impurtial du Rim, give out
that the application of this substance to the
culture OF land will produce an entire revolu-
top in the agricultural system.

some time to the air, absorbing from the at

twenty miles distance--and on Long Island
they bring eight cents bushel.
