NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
FROM OUR EUROPEAN CORRESPONDENCE
PARIS, July 2, 1916.

fARIs, JULY x, 1910.
La Revue DIES Deur Mondes, issued on the LIST
instant contains no political article of significance,
but much interesting literary matter. According to
its political chronicle at the end, the Anglo-Saxon
race in our Union is destined to become a small mi
nority of the population the French in the South,
the Irish spread every where, and hating the Ma
tive Americans" and the immense German emigra- |
ton will absorb that race. Then will come the
Mexican generations TO cross the breed again; yet
g the fusion of the various European naonates is
a singular-admirable fact" by which Providence
must intend some glorious issue. II there be any
thing really wonderful, it is the assimilation of all
the nationalties to the American type; tue final
predominance of the Anglo-Saxon nature, by which
we see the formation Of national American spirit
and unity beyond the mountains, upon which we
may RELY more than on the motley semi-foreign
character of the seaboard. In the chronicle of the
preceding number of the Review the military means
and prowess of the United States invidiously
betted, and they are cautioned against attempting
TO establish themselves now in California, lest they
should not prove able to maintain their foothod
against Europe.
The British ambassador, Lord CowLEY, has just
returned to this capital from visit to London. His
errand-according to the French press-was to
vote for Sir ROBERT PEEL's grand measure, and 10
consult with Lord ABERDEEN, after conferences with
Mr.. GUIzoT, on the policy of Europe in regard 10
your Mexican war. The Paris Steele of yester-
day says: :. Lord ABERDEEN has returned to Paris
to involve the French Cabinet in joint media
ton. If this be refused, England will submit 10
the annexation Of California, and perhaps of Yli-
catan, as she did to that of Texas" Some of
our journalists decide that the necessity or extreme
expedency of the incorporation of Texas is de-
monstrable by the very Mexican war and the Orc
gon settlement. The propositions OF war made by
the Mexican Cabinet TO their Congress; the hos
tile proclamations of Mexican Presidents and Gen
erals; the formation and march of invading ar
mics the attacks by the Mexlcans on the Rio
Grande-are all cited here, complete exonera-
ton of the Washington Government from the
CHARGE of aggression. 1t is wondered how the Bri-
fish editors can venture to prefer this charge, i'm
mediaely after their vindication of the Government
of British India in the case of the Sikh conflict,
there being singular parity of alleged circum-
stances journalist adds that the United States
are so strong and advantageously situated that they
NAV resolve to settle their affairs the Anne
rcan continent, without admitting or undergo
ing European mediation.
The morning after the date of my last missiye,
we we're inexpressibly relieved and exharated by
the news of Gen. TAYLoRs victories over the Mex-
cans. So much sinister prediction from your side of
the Atlantic excited even in my confident mind vague
apprehensions for the safety OF the General, and
absolute dependency in some OF my friends. But
we are more than Unidentified. Europe is impress
sed in the most beneficial way, by the battles, the
subsequent proceedings of Congress, and the patf-
otto manifestations of the whole Union. 1t is now
understood how the immense majority Of the Ame-
rican people would act in the event of rupture
with Great Britain or any European Power. Be-
fore the end of the sitting of the Deputies on the
18th instant two eminent members of the Cham
Der (of the Opposition1 went to Versailles, where
| then was, to congratulate me on the Rio Grande
occurrences and to describe the effect of the intel
ligence on the Chamber. Lively satisfaction per-
vaded the assembly; most of the Conservatives
even betrayed that feeling Mr.. GUIzoT, two ofhis
colleagues, and few of his party, the nearest and
most devoted, were alone chap-falen; their dscon-
certion served to amuse the rest. 1t was added by
nv visiters that, should war between the United
States and England ensue, twenty thousand French
volunteers, under the command of experienced Of
hcers, would at once endeavor to reach your shores
for the purpose of joining in the invasion of Can
ada. This does not pass from me incte-
ment to war, which | deprecate much as any
one, under the proper reserves of honor and right
but it is meant as evidence of the disposition OF
the French in general. They far from being
