The FRENCH KING, AND THE FRENcr
NATioN.-It has often been remarked
since the opening of the Oregon question
by some who do not make the necessary
distinction between tho French nation
and its present hing, that, in the event o.
war with England, France might be fount
in alliance with her,and against rs. Thi,
we have moro than once shown to be idle
within, only. The French King is Enx.
lands, but the French nation is not. Tina
King will do the wishes Of the British cabi
net, so far as he can, but he cannot carry
the nation with him, in this. Therefore
while we are sure Of the indiridual en,nity
Of the French King, at England's bidding
we are just as sure Of the friendship and
sympathy Of the French nation, for the 10.
gitimale progress Of our Republic and it
institutions.
We recently translated, from the N. Y.
French paper, the statement Of the editor,
namely, that false views had been spread
over Europe, in regard to our rights in Or
egon, derived from the book of Mons. De
Mofras, which that editor brands as emin.
emily erroneous. He says, also, that it's
errors will be promptly corrected by the
| diplomatic correspondence which we have
just published, and that this will cause q
change Of opinion, in our favor throughout
France and all Europe.
Meanwhile the following article upon
this Mons. Mofras' book, and the by.play
of Louis Philippe in regard to it, we cut
from the Public Ledger Buffalo Nat.

sented to the King Of Sweden, work on
Oregon, by Mr.DeMofras, decidedly hostile

with his offering an autograph letter,
strongly recommending the work. The
King Of Sweden, having mentioned this
fact 10 Mr.. Lay, our Charge d'Affairs al
Stockhold,re from him copy of Mr..
Greenough's book on Oregon. This little
incident is worthy Of notice by our Fede.
raj Executive, indicating the feelings OF
the King of France towards our country:
and in connection with French intrigues in
Texas and Mexico, and French outrages
in South Anne RIGA, it is worthy Of notice by
our American people. 1t indicates, in our
estimation, the strength Of the intente cor

between the French and British govern
