Bul The newspapers OF Paris, generally speak

United States have TO deal, 50 much as with Eng
land. The States, they assume, are determined
on sraspino the Calionias, and The British Go
vcrnmenl is determined on permitting no such
usurpation. One OF The journals, lie Seicle, sta
led positively The oiher day, that il had received
Intelligence from a high source al London, TO the

net council, and had come unanimously 10 the
conclusion that il was their duty 10 tier country
10 resist, even hy force Of arms, the annexation ol

that The attempt OF The States 10 lake ha 'errilo-
