Considering the connection between this Jour
nal and Nj. GuZot, am inclined to attach some
importance 10 this lucubration, as showing lhal if
France has not neriered in The business, she as
suredly will do SO. Indeed, for my part, enter
tain not the slightest doubt that the French Gov
eminent will be prepared, if necessary, 10 give
ehectua protection 10 Mexico against her great
neighbours tor remember that 10 the course OF
the presen; session, NJ. Guizot declared from the
tribune on Two occasions that il was Of vast i'm
por,ance 10 France that The U. States should not
seize Mexico, nor the English race absorb The
Spanish; and as he is not man Of talk without
weighing The force and calculating The conse-
quences OF his expressions, take II for granted
that his declarations indicated The policy the
French Government had determined on pursuing.

The detailed commercial accounts IRON Inc
United States have excited considerable alien

commercial country, as America unquestionaoly
is is Of any cause which unsetlleS business and
disturbs credit The mercantile class, in all the
large places Of business, and especially IN New
Orleans and New York, have already suffered
so much from The alarm and discredIt which the
Mexican war has created, and particularly by
the certain withdrawal Of the government depo-
sits from the banks 10 provide Tor the war e4-

From Tic Hanehcster Gnaydiam, 81 Jnne Ia
We are somewhat surprised 10 find many par
lies assuming thattbe victories on the Rio Grande
prove the utter inability OF The MeIicans 10 con-
lend with the United States troops, and that they
will put speedy end 10 The war. We never
doubted The success OF the Americans 10 pitched
battles, 1.-THE Mexicans should be unwse enough
TO engage in them; nor do VIC now doubt the
ability Of Gen. Taylor 10 drive his enemies from
MaIalnoras, and 10 penetrate into Mexico a. iai
as the nature Of The country and his ability e
procure supplies will enable him; but ifthe Mex
leans are firm, The real contest will be then only
beginning.
