London journal, that the English government had
consented accept the offer made by Mr.. Galatin,
OF division 1t the 49h degree Of latitude, notwith-
standing it had been previously haughtily refused,
says that It Is proof that England VIII cede what
ever the United States persists in demanding. No
body here thinks, or has ever thought thar this
Oregon squabble would end In war ; but every body
thinks there has been tar too much stupid hectoring
on both sides. The debates in Congress on the

The resolutions Of Mr.. Allen. about the non.in-
reference OF European governments on the Ameri-
here. One newspaper, the Steele, points to them az
the indignant answer OF the American Legislature
to NJ Guizot's speeches decaraiory OF his determl-
nation, on the part OF France 10 interfere as often
and in such manner as he might see TIT IN American
affairs. But the good Steele should have bethou2ht
itself that il was perfectly impossible that NJ Gull
cots speeches could have arrived In the U. States
at the time Mr.. Aliens resolutions were under dis.
cusson, still less at the time they were first propo-
sed II is certain that the resolutions will not have
the slightest effect on the French government. II
entirely repudates the position that European gov

il may think necessary Mr.. Calhoun, then. was
right in opposing the resolutions as useless, or worse
than useless, the United States not being IN posi-
ton to enforce them. Pompous declarations, with
out the ability the will 10 carry them into effect,
lessen the moral influence OF Legislature. Those
OF Mr.. Allen are tel. to be fur pos. which 1t 10
surprising pro } inent and 80 accomplished
statesman should have been betrayed into making.
The idea preached by the London Times OF the
re-estaoilshment OF monarchy IN Mexico has been
received. upon the whole, with favor by the Partisan
press. Even the republican National does not de-
nounce it, il it be the pleasure OF Mexcans, bur in
ssts upon the full liberty of action being allowed
them :, 1t also advises that IN any measures the
French government my be induced to join IN, care
be taken that it be not made the dupe Of England.

the present season.
Fresh intelligence of mercantile character has
lately been received by the government from Can.
Of sross h., the s mar
ket is encountered, and prices have dec'lued. Never
theless 1t is believed that the Spanish stripes OF
France could command sale at good prices, and the
light cloths of Reims and Beauvais were In demand
The ordinary sober colors of cloth are not quite fa
vorable to their sale-they should be clearer: Fine
cloths are not very much IN demand, and the de-
mand that does exist IS supplied BY England, Ger
many, Russia and Prussia. Long ellis or scrge5 are
in great demand and cannot be supplied by France.
Turkish satins also sought after those of France

sible adequately to describe them. For wines the
Chinese care little or nothing, but would accept
champagne and the light wines Of France, if not SO
dear. OF cherry brandy they take large quantities

the Chinese market, but deem 1t better not, mas
much as the above the latest account, and lnteli-
gence OF what was wanted two or three months ago
might mislead now.

The new treaty OF commerce concluded by
France and Belgium Is the sam In effect as the last,
with this difference that il will be some what more
advantageous in its operations to France. 1t pro-
vdes. among other things, that when the importa-
ton of Belgian threads and linens shall exceed g.,

The Carnival has Concluded. Compared to what
1t was forty or evea ten years ago, or compared to
what il Is in Italy, the Partisan Carnival is sorry
affair But, Notwithstanding, it is not altogether to
be despised. Its masked balls are decidedly anu

OF the bGuf gr0s accompanied by brilliant process
sion OF horsemen and footmen IN costumes Of every
age and clime-zoreeoas banners, triumphal cars,
and bands of music. are well worth seeing Its
maskers and mummers In the streets, hough In &C.
neral Gull dogs, sometimes create q laugh, and al
ways excite attention from the oddly OF their cos
tunes. But still there is no denying 1.-THE Carni
val is Its last legs, and it will soon to exist
altogether. Tom-fooery is longer to the taste Of
way to the spirit Of the age. The "go-a-headism'
of our time will assassinate it. II was yesterday
morning that this years Carnival terminated it's
earthly career and on Sunday and Tuesday that

ancient that its commencement ID lost IN the
night OF antiquity. On Sunday and Tuesday
nights all Paris was dancing; and l don't lnlnk

was, for a time, engaged in a gigantic debauch.
