PARIS, January 3l.--Mr. President Folks mes.
sage and the United States have occupied q more
than ordinary share of the attention of the press the
parliament and the public Of this country, during
the month that has elapsed, since last had the
honor to address you. proceed to lay before you
full an account Of what has been said and done as
my limits will permit.
That Mr.. Folks observations about the conduct
of France in the affair of Texas and his astounding
position that no European power should be allowed
to NEEDLE with the affairs Of the North American
continent, .would be replied to by the French gov
eminent was matter Of course, nor any time
lost in giving that reply On the discussion Of the
address in answer to the kings speech in the Cham
Der Of Peers, some remarks made on the Texan
affair called M. Guzot TO the tribune. He seemed
eager to say what he had TO say in answer to Mr.
Polk, and Immediately plunged into the very thick
of the Texas affair and the Presidents message.
The speech Of the foreign minister Of France was
one Of the most remarkable he has ever delivered
Massive in argument, lofty in TONE irresistible in
eloquenee, il is even entitled to rank with the most
effective Of any discourses that have ever been de-
lvered in any parliament.
| He went on TO say that he might have broken or
there, but he begged permission to refer to the re-
marks OF the Presidents message on the general re-
stions Of France with the United States and Of the
general policy OF the United States towards Franc.
and Europe. Hewould himself not have opened such
discussion and 1t not either in the intere,, mr.

but since II was opened he had no hesitation to ssy
his entire thoughts about it, They entertained the
same good sentiments in the same good relations to
the United States as they had always done, and they
raeant TO maintain them.
They meant 70 be always for the United States
old and sincere friends. But Me United States are
not what they were sixty years ago. Then they
were Just created, badly constituted, and needed sup
port-paternsl support Now, they have grown
and prospered, and taken their places among the
powerful Of the earth. Far from regrstting, they
sppauded and r.oieed at this prosperity and gran
deuri and not only did they rejoice at their present

Sir Robert Peel.-With reference to the question
i,stput by the noble lord, beg to say, that not
foreseeing that he would put it, | am not at present
prepared to give him an answer, and have therefore
to crave that he will postpone his question until
other time. On the subject Of the Oregon territory,
have 70 state that proposal was made by Mr. Blu.
chanan, with the authority Of the President of the
United States, to Mr.. Pakenham, and the proposal
30 made suggested division of the territory.
Whether or not that proposal ought to have been
accepted cannot say. Mr.. Pakenhsm thought that
the terms proposed were little likely to be accep-
table, that he did not feel himself warranted in trans
hitting the proposal to the government at home;
and on signifying this to Mr.. Buchanan, the lat
ter Immediately stated that the proposal was
withdrawn. This is the state OF the ne
gotiations at present, so far | am informed, re-
specting the proposal submitted by Mr.. Buchanan.
have the highest opinion Of Mr.. Pakenham.
have the greatest respect for his talents, and the
greatest confidence in his Judgment; yet must say
that II would have been better had he transmitted
that proposal to the home government for their con-
sideraon, and, il found in itself unsatisfactory il
might possibly have formed the foundation for a
further proposal. Hear Since that period this
country has again repeated to the United States
their offer Of referring the matter to arbitration bot
no answer has yet been received TO the proposal so
made. With respect TO the proposed increase in
the naval and military estimates, il il impossible for
ahy ohc 10 tee mc progress OF steam navigation,
and the continued increase of colonial possess
sions, without at the time seeing the necessity
for an increase Of naval and military establish
nents. .. - ..s
Within the last few months the colony of New
Zealand has made heavy demand upon US in this
respect; and the continual drain made upon our
troops on account Of the necessary reliefs in our
other possessions is so great, that il is almost i'm
possible to 6l up our regiments ] think that even
while we have the utmost confidence in the inten-
tons Of foreign powers, we would not be wise TO
neglect the defsnces Of country, and 10 render Il
secure against any possible contingency. Hear,

Her majesty having concluded her address, rose
from the throne and Quilted the House with the same

The Earl Of Home moved the address in brieI
speech in which he glanced the most of the topics
touched upon in the speech from the throne. He
concluded with reading the words Of the address
which merely echoed the speech
Lord de Ross seconded the address, and ex.
pressed hope that our pacific relations with Amer.
lea would not be disturbed by the Oregon dis.
pute.
The general feeling among the mercantile commu
nifty Is decidedly in favor of the measures PROFOUND
ed by Sir Robert Peel on Tuesday night; the ten
dency Of the whole being considered to be TO in
crease greatly all descriptions Of business.
After the momentous commercial measures pend
ing finally seted, large demand for all dcscrp
tions Of produce from the home trade, it is expected
will take place, stocks in the dealers hands are
much reduced, and prices generally are moderate in
comparison with those Of former seasons. The mr.

the week. but the public sales declared are OF i'm:

appearance.

Louis Republican tells dilfe 5eht story, on
The authority OF gentleman long resi-
dent OF NJ on'erey:
Monterey is an old Spanish city, Of be-
tween five and six thousand nhabliants.-
1t is, or was, the residence of Gen. Aired
ondo, and there Santa Anna, then a way
ward cadet OF sixteen, acquired his knowl-
edge OF military tactics, under the Gen
eraI whom we have above named Instead
of being only lis miles from the camp at
Matamolas, it is nor less than SO In
stead Of being on earthly PARADISE it is

which it runs with power enough for the
mill or manufacturing purposes, but is Of
no ase in irrigaiing, and does not irrigatc,
the country around. Instead of "groves
Of oran5es, lemons, figs and pomegran-
ates," there are comprivately but few
fruits growing there-none to crafty the
appetite Of the thousands Of men designed
to occupy these "sunmer quarters"
1t is ad mitted by the Texas writer, that
the climate is "rather to warm for north
ern men; and SO our informant conclude,
for he says the the mercury in The the
mome'er ranges from oighy five 10 one
hundred and two degrees in the shade
He thinks that Gen. Tayl Tor, should he ev-
er have thought ofthis point for his sum
mer quarters, will find that il is warmer
than at Ma,amolas. He does not belive
the location proper one, on any account
for summer quarters for our army.
Oar friend adds, in his notes en- this
matter, that six miles from Monterey
there is splendid hot spring; and abou
twenty miles distnnt southwardly, three
hundred yards from large cave, there
there is a vein of solid silver in the rock
which the Mexican gets out, in small guam
titles, with cold chsel; the silver is pure
and he has seen the vein shining in the
rock. He also arks, tina it may sur
prise many persons to learn, that horse:

his property was liable TO be taken 10 exc.

debt and If not sufficient was found the per-
son of the debtor was subjected 10 arrest

since New York commenced relaxing her
laws upon the debtor, and il is somewhat
instructive 10 note its progress and effects

and in eighteen hundred thirty one she ex~
empted his person from imprisonment for
debt; and has subsequently extended her
exemptions OF his property until it embra-
ces an amount equal TO the personal effects

visions intended undoubtedly by the legis-

NAVAL During the last A
merican war it was discovered that the
heavy armament of the enemy's frigates
and smaller vessels rendered them more
than match for our vessels OF similar ra-
ting. An English A gun frigate, with Is
Founders on her main deck, was unable to
contend with an American frigate, of the
same nominal class carrying "a Founders;
and to this cause was assigned the capture
of the Gurrieper, the Java, Macedonian, &c.
There can be no doubt that the unfortunate
issue Of several Of engagements, during
the war, arose partly from the superior ar
mament of the American We sells, not mere
ly in the weight, but the number of their
guns. An American frgate, for instance,
nominally of Al guns, would carry %,
while an English frigate of the same ra-
ting would have only SO; for all our ships
of war at that time, like those OF the
French and the American navies, carried
more guns than they were rated for, and
and in this respect the latter far out did US.
But although this gave the Americans a
very great advantage, we think they were
still more indebted for their success 10 the
manner in which their ships were manned
as compared to the British slips they en-
coun,ered. England had then numerous
fleets and squadrons TO maintain in every
quarter of the globe, and for which the
seamen ofthe kingdom were altogether in
sufficient. The consequence was that, IN
most of onr ships, there was an undue pro
portion of Iandsmen and ordinary-some
Of them were ordinary seamen. On the
other hand, the few ships which the Amer
leans had at sea were manned almost ex"
clusivoly with able seamen; there was The
whole merchant navy of the United States
at the disposal Of the Federal Government
and, consequently, the vessels that were
sent out to encounter the British cruisers,
had picked crews. To this, equally with
the difference of armament, may be attri-
buted The i'll success that attends the ships
of this country in that war London
Times.
