FROM OUR EUROPEAN CORRESPO NDENT
Paris, NOVEMBER 80, lS45.
An ample supply of newspaper matter, embrae-
ing all the principal European events and discus
sions since my last dates, goes you by the steamer
of the 4th proximo. You will see that the article
of the Washington Union, on the Oregon question,
which the London Times styles the precursor Of
the Presidents Message, has excited the strongest
sensation on both sides Of the Channel. You will
find in my budget the formal replies of the ministe
rial Standard and the Morning Herald, the solemn
and adnontory comments of the Times, and the
rancorqus contumees and arrogant buster Of the
Chronicle and the Globe All these new illusions
of malsnity and pride not yet to be interpreted
as the opinion and feeling Of the British nation.
Impression they must make, however, and that,
unfortunately, not of the same disgust and indgna
ton which they should produce in American breasts,
and INDEED in all temperate and impartial readers.
The Oregon question has been earnestly undertaken
by the Paris editors. Galignani's short report may
be quoted
Thc dispute between England and the United States
the Oregon territory question again noticed by several OF
Paris contemporaries in opposition to the Government,
but they by unanimous In the view that they
take of it. Whilst the National makes itself the warm par
of the Government of the United States, and urges to
persist in tsdemands which says must be complied with
by England the is unable go war, the Courier
Francois declares that the claims the Oregon territory both
of the United States and England iusory, and that the
French Government has right protest against the invasion
of the territory by either party The first articles OF the
Courier appeared to have rather leaning to England
but this journal has been warmly attacked by the National
for what called craftsmanship in favor of the English, that
has found itself compelled reute the charge and to assert
its mparay by declaring that both England and the United
States the wrong. The Steele although not remarka
BILE good feeling towards England, absains from the
adopted by the National 1t makes secret of its good
wishes for the Americans the event Of but conesses

regular controversy is pursued between the
National and the Steele. The former argues with
the most intelligence and entirely on the American
side. Hitherto the De6afs preserves silence in re-
gard to the article of the w Washington Union In
general the politicians of this capital decide that
France should prefer American dominion Of Oregon
to British, on the of both political and
mercial interests. They REFER with fresh vexation,
TO the concert Of their Government with England in
the affair of Texas because it has deprived France
of the character and claims of an impartial, neutral,
or even friendly mediatrix. AT tho other period have
| remarked here much personal and political So
citude concerning the relations between the United
States and England. President PoLK's message is
awaited with an anxiety and curiosity before un-
known on this continent.
NJ. GuHoT's explanations, through the editor of
the Courier des Etafs Unis, Of his theory of the
balance of power in your hemisphere, have attract
ed attention in Paris. What CLOSES soever may
now be tried for his declarations in the Chamber Of
Deputies those who like your correspondent heard
what he and his antagonists uttered, could not mis-
take their meaning and spirit. The entente cordiaie
between the French and British Governments die
tated the theory that will predominant in regard to
all American questions il is manifested in the out
rageous Intervention in the Rio de la Plata the
political world ascrbe to it the very curious and
novel exposition, in the Journal des Debats, Of the
purposes and results of the French mission to Chi
ma. The Debats has deliberately represented the
mission as merely philanthropic and apostolical
enterprise successful and glorious so far it has
ended in arrangements and compacts which facili-
tate wonderfully the propagation of Christianity,
with the Roman Catholic rites, throughout the Ce-
lestial Empire. Trade was but secondary and
remote consideration no political influence sought,
no Islands coveted! Every one remembers the first
official and semi-ofcial descants on the importance
andequipment of the embassy in reference to French
trade and manufactures, and participation of pow
er in the East. Several Of the Opposition organs
embazon the contrast between the new and the
original phases: they denounce the change as a
concession to British jealousy / enclose sig
nifcant commentary by the London Morning
Chronicle.
You will no doubt find space for the paragraphs
which have culled of recent news from India and
China. Another characteristic palace-tragedy in
the Punaub affords fresh warrant or pretex for the
absorption of that kingdom. The Chronicle insists
on this measure, and adds:
Nor the seeds of trouble confined to the Punjaub
Both in the Dekkan and the Bman empire civil is said
to be the Of bursting FORTH and in either
remain indifferent spectators il may be said that have
before us somewhat strong perspective in the East"
