European Races In the United states.

An American writer in the London Times deems GER
tain absurd statements the relative prevalence OF Eu-
ropean IN the United States worthy of serious
refuiaton According to these wild statements half OF
our white population Celsmore than one-third Irish
Celis-and a seventh OF Irish brih This estimate, how
ever, being grayey quoted true in the London Quar-
lerly the writer OF the Times overhaus IT,
In the first place he gives the character of the popua-
ton OF the American colonies previous TO the American
revolution. viz: Anglo-Saxon Lowland Scotch Scotch
Irish, WEIGH, Highland Scotcn, Germans. Dutch French,
(Huguenots,) Moravans, Poles Swedes, aud Jews. To
these may be added few Flemish or Belgians, who
came over with the Dutch to New York and New Jer-
sey At the commencement OF the revolutionary war,
1875, The population OF the ,hrleen colonies has been
umaled at 100000 OF whites and GOO 900 blacks There
were lew Irish gentlemen OF Celtic origin who
panied the English Catholics OF Lord Batmore's colony
10 Maryland, and few families of like origin are TO be
found among the old families OF New England and some
oil the other States, but their numbers inconsd
eable 10 affect general inquiry and calculation like the
present. The same remark will apply 10 the Irish Celtic
servants and aborefs who the Ang Saxon
Welch and Scotch emgranls 10 the nth and 18th

On this journey of the President, the London
Mars comments as follows:--"The opening of the
line Of railway from Paris to Strasbourg is an event
which Englishmen cannot fail to be interested in
For whilst will strengthen, in case of attack the
military defences of France against the power OF
Germany, Austria and Russia, so it will give to
France, in case of an aggressive war, n line by
which it suddenly cross the Rhine, and pour its
legions into Germany, and whence it can coerce
Switzerland. At each Of the termini Of tbs new
railway there is always assembled great military
force, which this line will render dspossble and on
the route there are-at Nancy, Metz. Bar le- Due,
and other placesvery considerable bodies Of troops
which it WILL in the event Of any emergency exter
nal and internal, release from merely local dutios,
and make easily available for general purposes
This line of railroad adds, therefore, very c)nsdera-
bly, to the military power Of France consideration
