TheParis papers of Friday morming have brought an news, aiid the only part ot their contents worth transliting is the following extract from the Journal des Vebuts "We read in the American papers that England is understood to have proposed to the UnTited States to join her in repelling all the attempts whicb the contirental Powers may think fit to under- take against the independence of the American colonies. "We are not in the secrets of the Cabinets, and wc know not how far tlhs news may be false or true; but we do know that in waging war, thiere must be at least two belligerent parties. Now, as we per- ceive the continent perfectly tranquil, and can find nobody who thinks of warlike exploits, the United States may have the trifling pleasure, if they desire it, of parading their fleets iR triumph over seas in which they wil mneet with none but friends."
