The first article of La Reoue DIES Deur Mondcs.
issued yesterday, article Of forty-three pages is
an able inquiry by the Deputy Monsieur DuyER-
GER DE HAURANNE, into the Present Relations Of
France and England, and the Re-establishment Of
the Alliance, He severely and infinitely criticises
the doctrines and measures Of the Soult-G uizot Cab;
net He ldwells on the superior importance for
France OF the best understanding with the United
States; their ultimate cause, he argues is the
same; independently Of all positive concert or
league the greatness Of France is strength for the
United States, and vice UerSa.'' " Until ately.'B
he adds, could not believe that our legations in
( Texas and Mexico received the same instructions
: as the British but the language of Mr.. GuzoT,
on the 10th instant has set me right and determine
f ed the fact. And after this incredible, infatuated
proceeding, the Minister pirates to us of know
not what equilibrium to be maintained in America

Is wants three balances of power-one in Europe.

France in America into the British scale for, as
l Mr.. DE BEAUMONT and Mr.. DE LAsTEYNE said, in
the debate, Texas must be virtually either British
Z or American; she cannot be really Independent.
: This question will doubtless recur in the Cham
. bers and the Opposition will do their duty
France cannot, without repudiatng all common
sense and foresight, become the ally Of England
against the United States''s
This sentiment is not confined to the Opposition.
The new Treaty of Visit or convention about the
slave-trade, has found more favor with them than its
real purpOrt and design justfes the Journal des
Debats of this morning has long article Of triumph
over them, for their compulsory approval. There
will be rough scrutiny, however and bold expo
sition, when the document is directly subjected to
attack and defence in the Chambers. In common
with the London Times and the Chronicle, the De-
bats first declared that the United States had ex-
plicity or implicitly conceded to the British Cabi-
net the right of visit in time of peace, for the
purpose Of ascertainng whether vessel be Of the
nation whose flag it shows" which, in the new
convention, France admits and sustains in regard to
all flags, besides assimilating the slave-trade to
piracy under the law of nations and yindicating the
other pretension by this Interpolation of the two
contracting Powers. Several of the Paris prints
manifest better acquaintance with the official notes
of the American Government on the subject La
Presse of this day AYERS that the right Of visit to
ascertain the truth Of flag has never obtained,
under the law Of nations in time Of peace and pro-
tests against the new and arbitrary extension of
piracy.
The /" Republic of California" Just announced
to in the advices by the steamer Of the LIST in
slant from Boston, dismays the monarchical zealots
on both sides of the channel. They image to Them
selves an Anglo-Saxon republican empire, embrac-
ing the whole of North America, and rendering
royalty impossible in any division of the western
hemisphere Mr.. AsHBEL SMITH, the Charge DAT
fares of Texas, arrived yesterday in this capital
You will see that Spain has demanded Of the Bri-
fish Government the admission of her colonial
sugars into British ports on the footing of the most
favored nation, and this under the treaty of Utrecht
of the year of our Lord 1918. The London Globe
and the Morning Chronicle of the 18th instant de-
eide areumentatiyely that the claim is wel-founded
and reprehend the Peel Cabinet for a sad and odd
oversight The Chronicle concludes that the famous
Sugar BILL imperative it will thus be against the
United States and Spain and the East remains as a
mere Introduction of British trade with Brazil.
Mr.. RUsH's two additional volumes of diplomatic
and personal narrative reviewed in most of the
London weekly papers. The reviewers could not
abstain from cavis, but constrained to acknow-
ledge general merit and interest, and to furnish ex-
tracts which testify in behalf of the work. The
articles of the Spectator and Examiner Of the 18th
instant are the most remarkable. !" Mr.. Rush," the
Spectator confesses " is an able industrious, clear
headed man Of business, and appears besides, from
his book, to be very worthy unaffected Individual"

The American notion Of an electrical telegraph
between America and Europe excites sensation.

We have Lord BRoueHAM's French Lives of Vol
taire and Rousseau, in handsome octavo--a bought
version Of his imperfect sketches in the English
volume Of lives for the Reign of George ILL.,, which
Galignani has given US in cheap edition. There
is so much immortality in Lord BRoUGHAM's apollo
gies and CLOSES for Votaire and Rousseau, and SO
much indecency in his references and quotations,
that would Danish the production from all parlor-
tables, and forbid it young readers The articles
in Fraser's Magazine and the Dublin University
Magazine Of this month are scarcely less Just than
they are pungent and censorious concerning his
