for this statesman, who betrayed tie French ALI

that his betrayal should be pardoned. On the COM

taken his place in the ranks of the opposition, the
famous Franco-Engish cordial understanding (snienie
coJdiais) had hot more obstinate opponent; and
again, during the last session, he almost daily
abused and illuminated France--so much so that
both his friends and enemies saw in him disease
which they called GdAophObia IL cannot be denied
that the accession Of such champion eugus very
badly for that poor cordial understanding (snie,ie

falsehood and srirnece between M. Nj. Guizot and

history, will be either his glory or his crime As

that General Paroles was not tenacious about graf

cessation of the war-cry which considerably annoys
the Mexican generals; and perhaps the transfer OF

him of il; he did not want it yet; it will annoy him
very much. If the American government will but

The official journal of the day before yesterday, in
rcpubshing paragraph from the Della OF New
Orleans, gave US to understand very explicitly that
the accession of Paroles would probably cause Mr.
Slides mission to fail, in which case the Ameri-
cans would have no other alternative than war.
Certain papers, usually of very pacific DISPOSE

should be, in fact, to force Mexico TO peace De-

as the policy of Mexico is to await this conflict In

We have nothing new nor interesting from WASH
ington but rumors relative to the reform OF the
tariff, and to the building of steamers, which we
notice below. An article has appeared IN the OFF,
cia paper, the "Unon," which deserves some
notice, because it is ascribed to Mr.. Buchanan,
Secretary of State.s This article insists upon the
necessity of Congress to notify the English govern
ment of the close of the joint occupation before Or
ganizing any kind of tribunal or government in an
undivided territory. To take any other step
would be to create conflicts which are repugnant.
Commenting afterwards upon Mr., Crltenden's
proposition Of Wednesday last, in the Senate, to
authorize the President to give this notice, but only
al the close Of the present session, the "Union" says
il would prefer "that Congress would act more
promptly, and take the responsibility of the abro-
CATION Of the joint occupancy rather than throw It
upon the President" This opinion Of the official
journal deserves to be mentioned, as it may be re-
garded as that of Mr. Polk himself.
