All the Partisan newspapers, without exception,
have produced, at considerable length, the details of
the proceedings of General Taylor in Mexico. as
well as the last batch of news received by the Bril-
tannia via Liverpool. Taylor's victory over the
Mexcans was fully expected, and indeed, such was
the confidence in American arms, that great surprise
was felt at his placing himself in such position
to permit them to btain even temporary advantage
over him. Not the shadow of the shade Of a doubt
is felt that he will be able to drub the Mexicans as
often they may please to present themselves be-
fore him. 1, is felt, in fact, that the poor devils
have not a chance in their favor; their troops are
undisciplined, uncothed, unfed, unpaid-their gov
vernment is without sous, and their country IN
state Of awful anarchy. To carry on n war, then
with such nation as the United States is imposs-
ble and the attempt do it considered absolute
madness
But the newspapers of Paris, generally speaking,
do not think that it is Mexico with which the United
States have to deal, SO much as with England. The
States, they assume, determined on grasping the
CALIFORNIA; and the British government is determin.
ed on permitting no such usurpation. One OF the
journals, La Steele, stated positively the other day
that il had received intelligence from high source
at London to the effect that the British ministers had
held cabinet council, and had come unanimously to
the conclusion that it was their duty TO their coun-
try to resist even by force of arms the annexation
of the CALIFORNIA; to the United States Other news
papers have gone quite far; but they all think
that the attempt Of the States to take that territory
from Mexico will lead to most serious uliaunder'
standing with Great Britain. They evcn sta'e that
the admiral commanding the British sgutdrons ~
the Pacific has positive orders to proven, de Ameri-
feet taking possession Of any place on t'e Cali
fornan coast; and some Of them actually Surmlse
that before this time conflict has taken place he
tween the two fleets. You will be better able than
can possibly be to inform your readers whether
there be any, and if any, what foundations for these
statements. For my part, | am inclined to think
them greatly exaggerated, if only because nothing
con6rmatory Of them has appeared in any Of the
London journals.
The intelligence from the United States, by the
Hiberna, reached Paris on Tuesday evening, and
caused much surprise, not satisfaction, among the
Journalists. The Paris Presse has the following on
the subject:

GOV. BEBB'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS
Gentlemen Of the Senate,

ana OF the Hsase Of HePresentatIoes.
The past history and present condition OF
the State of Ohio, present interesting sub
jects for the contemplation and instruction
of her Legislators and statesman. Half a
century has but just elapsed since the vic
tory oiWaync over the Indians on the Mau-
NEE, and the consequent treaty Of Green
Vile, gave 10 tho North Western Territory
peace, and to the tenants of IFS rustic aboaes
assurance Of safety.
This great central valley Of the west was
then in all its primeval grandeur--its noun
tains, lakes and gulf--ls rivers gliding over
cataracts or meandering through vast aluv;al
plains--its boundles prairies and herds OF
buffalo--iis forests unriyalled in extent and
variety, and its great tribes Of aborignes who,
from time unknown, had been the lords oi
this vast domain. The bold outlines Of the
scene remain unchanged and Interchangeable.
The mountains are here and the lakes, the
reycrs still flow in their channels, but tho
buffalo have been hunted from the prairies
and the deer from tho forest. Logan and
Ttcumseh are no more. The spirit Of thoir
race is broken. Their chldreR have sui
lently retired beyond the " Father Of Waters"
and buried the red scalping knife in the
ashes Of despair. The yclls Of The war
dance, the eloquencs of council, and the in
carnations of the prophet, are seen and heard
no more; but in their stead, balls of legisla-
tion, courts of justice, and temples conse-
Grated 10 Christianity. The annals of man
present no example where the ,riumphs Of
civilization in SO brief period, have been
SO brilliant and complete.
Our own State Of Ohio, embracing very
favored portion of this great valley, stands
out before the eyes of all men wonder,
for her progress in population, wealth and
power; for Eer metropolis Of near hundred
thousand souls; her agricultural and mechan
|ical productions, her public works, her col
IIeges, asylums and schools; and her-popula-
ition Of two millions Of people, enjoying
more Of the necessaries and comforts Of life
and indurng fewer Of lis Priyaiions, mlseries
and wants than any equal number Of neu ii
any age Of the world.
Compared with the great resourres of she
State, present and Prospective, even haS
