Influence IN Europe Of the Capture Of Merico-
Reception of the Presidents Message, Sc.-Con.
trast ,cith the Kings Spsech-Debate in the
Chamber Of Deputies, &c.
The capture of Mexico, and the dispatches of
General Scott and other officers of the army,
have produced profound impression upon the
courts of England and France, and the intelligent
portion of the European population /; and the tri-
umphs of our arms have created great change
in the opinions of both governments and people,
of the capacity and power OF our country In war,
and a corresponding respect Tor our rights Is
necessary consequence; tor. with the hve great
European powers, their past history shows that
the stronger government may be, the more they
respect its rights and listen to its demands. In
England, /. has done more; tor 1t has created a
serious apprehension for the ultimate safety of
her possessions on the North American CONT
nent, and satisfied her statesmen that IN future,
in any war with America, she will meet the
same spirit which has enabled American arms
to accomplish such daring deeds in the war with
Mexico. All Europe now better understands
that the United States are able to meet England
in the arts of war, as well as of peace; and that
on the western continent, speaking the Engllsh
language, people exist who are destined soon
to exceed in numbers and power, IN wealth and
NATIONAL resources, any one OF the great Euro
pean powers.
contrasts the influx of wealth and Immediate re-
sources of our country, with the twelve millions
OF dollars dlminution IN the last years income
of the English government. and the critical con-
dition Of the financial affairs OF that country
generally; and IN the prospective. the contrast
is still greater, in favor of the United States.
The United States, 1t Is beginning here to be I'M
der9tood can COMPETE win any EusoPeaa Gous
industry, and that her ships engaged In the car
rying trade, are the finest in the world. The
French admit this frankly; and upon this point
the English have ceased to cla m the superiority,
except in numbers. In any of the French ports
which | have visited, l have been proud to
find the largest and most beautiful ships In
the harbor, American; and all the French
with whom have conversed, say that our ships
are very much superior to those OF England-at
least, those that visit France. France is COM
paratIvely an inland nation, and has neither the
either the United States or England, in the car
rying trade; and, generally, the French people
see, with great satisfaction, nation rising up
ir the west, TO overshadow England in all those
psrlority; and, therefore, the extension OF our
dominions over Mexico; the addition of a coun-
try halt as large a. all Europe; the acquisition
Of mines now the richest in the world, perhaps;
loAsss and the ultimate conversion OF a semi
barbA.8us people and country into elements of
power and civilization, create no disquletude In
their minds; and they are rather pleased than
annoyed In contemplating the rapid advance
msnt Of country which has ever been the
friend of France.
The Presidents message, General Scott's dis.
patches, the reports OF the several Secretaries,
some Of the leading journals OF Paris, not under
the control of the ministry, said, alter reading
these documents, and contrasting the scenes and
country which they unfolded with the King's
speech, it seemed, in passing from the latter to
the former, like making journey from Lllli-
put to tho land of Grants" l quote the senti-
meat precisely, and the language in substance.
Look at the admission; and any one In France,
who understands both countries, can apprecla
the force of the remark. The journalist took into
view the present and future capacities OF
and the libels Of the English presa, have fixed
the attention of Europe upon the United States,
and created an interest t. watch the progress OF
events in the Western world-and when they
hnd power which England has representa-
throughout Europe, as no mean competitor for
the United States in any trial of strength as in
ured to the arts of war and reused to the highest
pitch of national enthusiasm, annihllated; and
her armies routed and flying from one fourth of
their numbers, IN a series OF pitched battles, of
which the world furnishes few similar examples,
without one reverse and her ports closed, and
her large towns and the capital in the possession
OF the United States, this state of things arrests
public attention among the Intelligent portion of
the people OF Europe, and they look for, and
read with interest, the views and explanations
which each nation may present to the civilized
world, OF events so extraordinary.
fhe pYplIc documents, therefore, emanating
from the United States, have been read with
universal intsrest-and they have created a pro-
found impression upon the public mind in Eu-
rope, favorable to our country notwithstanding
the unremitted efforts Of the English press to
mlsrepresent us, aided, l regret to add, by the
peas cot some Americans heated with political
warfare, and, perhaps, without thinking of the
use which WILDE made, by eur enemies abroad,
OF what was said only for effect at home. Let
all who take part against our country in war, re-
member that they have England and Enelshmen
tor allies.
p. S.-January IA, lSis.-The debate in the
Chamber OF Deputies has commenced with a
good deal OF violence, and the ministry are as
sailed In en- unusual manner, and their impeach-
ment threatened.
