VIEWS OF LOUIS PHLLIpPE, The marriage
Of the French Kings son to the Princess Of
Spain, has Of course, given rise to many specu-
lations in the French and English papers. by
some it is supposed that the event will produce
war between the two nations; but we give no
credit to this suggestion-nor have we more
confidence in the assertion, that France joins
Spain with a view to the reconquest of the
Spanish Americas" France will hardly thrust
herself unnecessarily and wantonly into con-
test with The powers OF the American CONT
nent; for, that an attemp! to reconquer Spanish
America would involve more than those pro-
vinces in a war with France and Spain we
think beyond question. The United States
would have something to say on that subject;
nor can it be supposed that England would be
an inactive spectator. We consider Louis Phil
lippe too wise and prudent monarch to en-
gage in such an undertaking.
1t is said that "the entente cOrdiale between
France and England is at an end, and that
"these powers henceforth move independent of
each other" There may not be that cordial.
ty between them which has for some time past
existed-but the marriage before mentioned
would be but a shallow pretence for the COM
mencement of hostilities England may find
it necessary TO give employment to her distress
sed and starving population, and to prevent in
ternal CONFUSION may engage her people in
war. The present condition of the people of
Ireland is such as to call forth the utmost vigi-
lance of the British government; for it cannot |
be expected that the poasantry of Ireland will .
1uietly submit to be starved 10 death Unless,
then, employment can be given to them by
means of works Of internal improvement, as
has been undertaken, England may be COM
PEELED to employ them in her fleets and armies
1t is hard to oresee what result the existing IA
mine in LELAND may produce. 1t is certain
that the situation of the poorer classes in that
country, is calculated to excite great sympathy;
for it seems, that they are actually dying for
The want of wholesome food.

peremptory order given to General Taylor to
