THE SOLDIER.
[From Cornelias Mathews' Man in the Republic.]
With grounded arms, and silent aa tbe mountains.
Pause for thy quarrel at the generous sea;
And, wlieo comes the ship o’er the curled waves bounding.
Remember that a brother in a foe may be.
Thy battles are not wars but self-defences,
Girding this universal heme about—
Least lion-wrong and subtle-fanged pretences,
Pierce to its heart and let the lifa-bope out.
Though sleeps the war blade in the amorous sheath,
And the dnmb cannot stretches at his leisure —
When strikes the short a hostile foot —oul-breatlie
Ye grim, loud guns —ye fierce swords, work your plea
sure!
And sternly, iu your stubborn socket set,
For life or death—your hilt upon the steadfast land,
Your glance upon the foe. thou sure-set bayonet.
Firm ‘gainst a world’s shock in your fastuess stand!
This, this, remember still, thou son of War —
The child of Peace within his doorway seated
Thine equal ia—though beats the luring drum afar,
Or flies tha meteor column, battle heated.
Lo in the calmness of that silent man,
And in the peaceful sky-arch o'er him bending.

Vermin Destroyed!
WITHOUT FAIL IN ANY INSTANCE
S OLOMON LEVI A CO., respectfully otter to the pub
lic tbeir self prepared, well tested and highly effectual
preparation for exterminating llau, Mice, Cock-ltoaches
Ants,and Bed-Bags!
8- Levi A Co., promise those of the pablic. who msy be
annoyed by these destructive vermin, that after using this
well te«ed ami highly effectual preparation for a few days,
they will experience a complete riddance ofall this vernun.
This preparation possesses the singular property, that
without being actual poison, it will not only kill the Rats,
Mice. Ac., but will, in consequence of the smoke it produces,
positively compel those that do not partake of it, precipi
tately to leave the house.
This preparation has now been in use in Germany and
Franae about three years; and been pronounced, by every
one who has given it a fair trial, the best remedy they have
ever used lor the extermination of Rats, Mice, Ants, Cock-
Roaches, and Bed-Bug*.
Tbe articles composing ibis composition are in themselves
very innocent, and contain not a particle of poison; but when
combined create a gas, which explodes the stomach, and
consequently destroys life in a few hours. As soon as it
has effected the stomach, the articles become neutralized
and will affect nothing thereafter, so that there cau be no
danger in its use under any circumstances.
The directions for using tbe preparation accompany eve
ry box, and are cheap and simple.
S. Levi A Co., guarantee uie Expulsion of Vermin from
any place where their preparation is nsed. It has never
yet failed.

FOREIGN EXTRACTS,
BY THE CAMBKIA.
FRANCE.
Private Corretpondence of the European Time*.
Paris, January 31.
Mt. President Polk’s message and the Uni
ted Slates have occupied a more than ordi.'ia
ry shure of the attention of the press, the
parliament, and the public of this country, du
ring the month that has elapsed, since lust I
had the honor to address you. I proceed to
lay before you as full an account of what has
been said aud done as iny limits will permit.
That Mr. Polk’s observations about the
conduct of France in the affair of Texas, aad
his astounding position that no European pow
er should be allowed to meddle with the afluira
of the North American Continent, would be
replied to by the French government was a
matter of course, nor was any time lost in giv
ing that reply. On the discussion of the ad
dress in answer to the king’s speech in the
Chamber of Peers, some remarks mude on the
Texas affair called M. Guizot to the tribune.
He seemed eager to say what he had to say in
answer to Mr, Polk, and immediately plunged
into the very thick of the Texas affair and the
President’s Message. The speech of the
Foreign Minister of France was one of the
most remarkable he has ever delivered. Mas
sive in argument, lofty in rone, irresistible iu
eloquence, it is even entitled to rank with the
most effective of any discourses that have ever
been delivered in any parliament. [Our cor
respondent here gives a summary of M. Gui
zot’s reasoning relative lo Texas, which wa
deem it unnecessary to repeat in this place.]
He went on to say that he might have broken
off there, but he begged permission to refer to
the remarks of the President's Message on the
general relations of France with the United
Slates and of the general policy of the United
Slates towards France and Europe. He would
himself not have opened such a discussion, and
it was not titber in the interest or the necessi
ty of the two countries to have opened it: but,
since it was opened, he had no hesitation to say
his entire thoughts about it. They entertained
the same good sentiments and the same good
relations to the United States as they had al
ways done, aud they meant to maintain them.
They meant to be always for the Uniied
States old and sincere friends. But the Uni
ted Stales are not what they were sixty years
ago. Then they were just created, badly con
stiiuted, and needed support—paternal support.
Now they have grown aud prospered, and ta
ken their places among the powerful of the
earth. Far front regretting, they applauded
and rejoiced at this prosperity and grandeur;
and not only did they rejoice at their present
grandeur, but at their great destinies in the fu
ture. Opinions might differ as to the merits of
their social organ zatien and their political in
stitutions, but it was impossible not to recog
nize in that society, and by consequence in its
influence, principles of justice, of humanity,
of well-being for men,, which have been want
ing in the greater part of the States, which have
become great and powerful in the world.
There was reason to hope that, in spite of
all the imperfections, all the chances, all the
obscurities of the future of this great people, it
will exercise its influenc in a manner more
moral and more useful than many other great
people. They were, therefore, far from com
plaining of, or being alarmed at, the present
and future greatness of the United States. But
they were obhged to take into serious consid
eration, and regard with a vigilant, not distrust
ful eye, their greatness and strength ; and no
body could bo surprised that, in the interest of
their country, they should maintaiulhe indepen
dence of their policy towards the United Stales
gnat and powerful in quite a different msuner
(tout autrement) than they have done towards
the United States newly-born, and hardly sure
to live. Even if the simplest common sense
do not (each them that conduct, the message of
the President of the United States indicated it
cleatly. It was not for him to say that the
words of the President were opportune or
measured; hut they were frank, explicit, and
honorable. He had rend them altoutiveiy, and
had sought, in the interests of his ceun'ry, iho
policy they conveyed. He found two things
tvhiclt appeared to hin excessively grave.—
Tlio first was that the United States have not
taken and will not take part for or against any
one in the affairs of Europo. They profess,
they practice a perfectly isolated policy with
regurd to Europe—independent neutrality.—
lie did not blame them. lie would go further,
and say, it Was theii interest, well understood,
and that interest was good policy. “ But then
(pray mark these words, they aro of vast im
portance) the United Stales cannot ba aston
ished that the people of Franco will be, with
respect lo the United Stutes, as independent, as
purely attached to the national interest, as are
the United States themselves. What they
practice—is as good a rule of policy for us as
for them. We ought to guard tbe same imle-
pendence—we ought to seek equally in all the
questions in which we may be engaged,- the
national interest, without sacrificing ii to any
tradition, to any scrivener, to ary view of an
alliance which cannot exist according to the
terms even of the President of the United
States.” This was the first thing that struck
hint in the message. The second was that the
United States could not permit any European
action on th«? Noi$’i Anieijcap continent, a“d
that what in Europe is »!! tl the balance of
power could not he appned either. The
maxim, he said, was strange. The United
States were nut the only nation of North-
America. There were other States—he wou'd
only name Mexico—with the same rights, the
sume liberty to seek or refuse alliances, to form
political cunihiiiiitions iti accordance wait (heir
interest, as the Uniied States. The neighbor*
hood, the existence of the United States, could
not restrain in any fashion tlieir independence
and tlie.r rights. Well, with those slates,
France had treaties, aud th y had the right to
conclude aud maintain treaties, and would any
one say that in so doing they injured the right
of the United States ?
There was nothing in all ihat they could not
do again, and the stutes w ith which France
was iu relation could do the same. The lan
guage lo which he alluded, if the sense it ap
peared to have were attributed to it, would fur
exceed the limit of the rights that can be rec
ognised iu foreign governments, however great
they may be. The ties which bound thorn to
other slates of the North American continent,
the relations they had with them, that they
were in the right to contract with them—all
these interest.*, commercial, political, territorial,
even, in certain cases, should he maintained
without any sentiment of hostility to the Uni
ted States, but with the same sentiments of
friendship as had ulways been shown towards
them—they should all be maintained without
giving to tho Uuited States any great cause of
complaint, but without regarding any illegiti
mate pretension. For this the Uuited States
themselves had given them a striking example.
At the time of the French revolution, Washing
ton had steadily resisted the popular clamor to
engage in the conflicts it created in Europe—
to maintain a strict iuJcpend-.-tice towards all
European states—to he tho ally of none,—
France or any others.
He thought that Washington in so doing was
right, and thereby rendered an immense ser
vice to his country. They were not now in sin>.
ilar circumstances, but lie hesitated not to say,
thut the fundamental principle of the policy of
Washington at that time, since become that of
his country, ought to govern that of France.—
And for his part, as long as he hud, or should
have, the honor to sit iu the councils of the
crown, he—the friend os sincere and affection
ate as any one of the great society', of the great
government of the United States, accepting wil-
lingly their present greatness and tlieir future
greatness—lie would maintain not the less in
all the questions, great anti. little, which may
arise in the new world as in the old—he woulJ
maintain not less the full independence of the
policy of his 4 country—he would practice not the
less what appeared to hiincoufurmull.- to the in
terest ofFrance. “And,” headded incondusiun,
“1 am sure that in doing thut we shall be under
stood and approved, even iuthe United Slates.
I know the power of popuiur errors. I know
the empire ot popular passions; but 1 know that
also the modem free States—whatever be the
form of their government, monarchic or repub
lican—whatever be their social organization,
aristocratic or democratic—repose always on
this conviction. 1 will say willingly on this faith,
that, whatever be the error of the mome t, af
ter a iong and free examination by the empire
of discussion, and of liberty, truth, justice, rea
son, good sense finish by prevailing, aud by di
recting public affairs. It is this hope, this faitii,
which makes the existence and the safety of
modern free states. It will not be the United
Stutes which will give to this salutary aud sub
lime faith u painful denial.”
Lengthy as this abstract of M. Guizot’s
speech is, you will, I doubt not, find toom for
it. The speech, in truth, is of great impor
tance, It is the lormul and del.berate reply of
the chief of the government of this great nation
to the chief of the government of the United
States. It is, taken, altogether, most probably
a very different reply to what Mr. Polk calcula
ted upon. It is as high and as lofty, as firm
and as decided as his own message, though ex
pressed iu more courteous and more statesman
like language. To Mr. Polk’s censure of
France in the Texas affair, it replies by a justi
fication of the policy pursued. To Mr. Polk’s
doctrine that no European has the right to ex-
ercise any influence on the North American
continent, it gives a flat contradiction, and adds
that France, as a European power, lias the
right, and, what is more, will exercise it. To
Mr. Polk’s declaration that the United Slates
will not he the ally of any European power—
will maintain a policy of strict neutrality in any
contest between European powers—it replies.
“Be it so; but, if you will not be our allies, wc
will not be yours. Pursue your isolated policy
—it is right aud wise; but remember that we
too will pursue the same policy—we too will act
strictly for our own interest, uninfluenced by
tbe remembrance of ancient friendships and an
cient alliances. Help us not, if you will; but
be assured that we will not help you.” Such is
in truth and fact the summary of this most re.
markable speech, stripped ofall t? ose friendly
phrases and all those cautious forms of expres
sion, which European statesmen think it neces
sary to employ. That it will create nil im
mense aeu-ialion in the United Slates cannot he
denied, for it indicates in the most strik'tig
manner the policy that France wi I hereafter
pursue. Whether it was not altogether wise in
the chief of (he American repub'ic to provoke
such an expression of opinion from the chief of
the French Government, especially i.t a period
when there is danger of a rupture with Eng
land is a question which every one of your rea
ders will decide fur himself. In this country its
importance is duly estimated. The niinLlerial
parly in both Chambers rejoice at it as a well
merited rebuke lo what they consider insuffera
ble arrogance of the American President.—
The opposition party, on the contrary, are ex
cessively dissatisfied with it. They say that it
is m thing less than a formal casting off of the
American alliance—a formal rupture with iheir
“natural allies,” an! a new piece of truckling
to perfidious Albion.
In tho discussion on the address in the Cham
ber of Deputies, the United Stales and Texas
have likewise come iu for a good deal of ob
servation. They were first brought forward by
no less a person than M. Thiers, chief of otio
of the opposition sections of the Chamber—one
of the most eloquent orators and most eminent
statesmen of the country, and formerly minister
of foreign uffiirs. lie observed that it ap
peared to him, from the rematks in the Piesi-
d< nt’s tncssa-e, that the United Slate* were
ds-atisfi d with the Texas affair, and thereby
offended tbe United States. By tho attitude
they had taken, they had rendered it impossible
for the United States to Consent to allow fiugj
to'arbitraieon tlieOregon question. Tlveyliihfr
thereby committed u great fault—a great jujus*
lice to the Uniied States and had even endan
gered the pence of the world. This speech,
which was remarkable for its eloquence, created
an immense sensation in the Chamber, M.
Gu *ot replied to it at considerable length.
To these copious summaries of the speeches
of the French minister and his great rival, it is
not necessary to add anything. They set forth
fully the public opinion of this country. The
opinions of the press are also in accordance
with them—the opposition journals repeating
and enlarging on the position taken by M,
Thiers—the ministerial contending for those of
M. Guizot. But, notwithstanding tho lengthy
discussions which have taken place in our le
gislature on American matters, it must not bo
supposed that we shall hear no more of them.
Again and again will they be brought forward
by independent members. This very day, for
example, an amendment is under discn«sion in
the Deputies to the effect that, in the event of
war between England and America, France
will sue that 1)0 injury I»o Jon a to *•*»«*
pies of public right, which protection on the
seas the liberty and dignity of international re
lations.” But no matter how often American
matters may be discussed, and no matter how
severely the opposition may condemn the gov
ernment, it is not likely that any change will
take place in tho attitude and language of tho
cabinet.
On the Oregon question, the newspapers have
for the most part confined themselves to the
production of the news from America, and tho
remarks thereon of the English press. Their
general opinion appears to be that there will be
no war. Tho Presse says clearly that - it has
no duub at all that England will, eventually
give in to all the demands of thejUniltd Slates
government; and the republican newspapers
say that, if she does not do so in quick time,
the Americans will give her a sound drubbing.
The more serious and important journals, how
ever, think that England is not disposed to givo
in, and though very reluctant to fight, that shu
would rather have war than abandon her rights.
They think her friendly and conciliating lan
guage is a proof that she has no intention to bo
bullied; and they say thut her preparations for
war shows very clearly that such is really her
intention. Among reflecting people tho im
pression is, that, if there be a war, the chances
are as ten to one in favor of England—her na
vy being so very formidable, and her army,
c ompared to that of the States, so considerubje.
They do not forget that America has obtained
some victories over her, but they remark that
that was when sho hud two or three European
wars on her hands, and when, consequently,
she could not put foith her whole strength.—
Some of the newspapers think that the time is
not far distant wlieu the Uniied States will
swallow up the whole of Mexico; and one or two
say that she vv II soon wrest, or coax, or swin
dle tho Canada from Great Britain.
DEBATE IN THE FRENCH CHAMBERS.
We have already alluded to the debates in the French
Chambers on the 20th and 21st of January, in which M.
Thiers mid Billault reviewed and severely criticised tho
American policy of M. Guizot. But the speech of Thiers
is altogether loo remarkable ta be passed over with a no
tice, aud we quote below the greater portion of it, as trans
lated by a London paper. After replying to a personal
attack upott himself, M. Thiers proceeded as follows:
1 (rust the Chamber will now permit me todrop these un
happy dispfites, ami to approach the question winch it is my
intention to submit to its consideration. I choose this ques
tion. because in my opinion it is at present the most impor.
tant and tbe most urgent one; I mean our relations with A-
tnerica. Gent enien, you know tiiat Texas has been recent
ly annexed to the United States, and that has been done to
the great displeasure of England, and in spile of tbe French
Cabinet. You know that the Freuch Cabinet has publicly
resisted that annexation, and it appears to me that that re
sistance has produced in America a great degree of irrita
tion and dissatisfaction towards France. If 1 am to judga
by the words of President Polk in his message, our rela
tions with the United States, without ceasing to be pacifio,
will no longer be sufficiently amicable. .The following is
the language of that official document: “ It must not be
forgotten that annexation was obtained in spite of the inter
vention of the diplomatic agents of the European powers,
France even, our ancient illy, that country which has a
common interest with us in maintaining the freedom of tho
seas, has sought lo prevent this result. We ought to re.
juice at having triumphed over British and French inter
vention in such an energetic and efficacious manner.” I do
not take upon myself to be either the judge or the apologist
of these words. I only wish to make known the actual
state of onr relations with tbe AmericanUuion. The Min
ister of Foreign Affairs has replied iu language of which I
acknowledge the dignity; but lie has replied with a certain
degree of haughtiness. Thus, in fact, while we are ex
changing with England words marked with the closest inti
macy, we exchange words with America, which, though
vety polite, evidently contain rebuke. I regard this as a
misfortune. You know that a great misunderstanding has
arisen be'ween England and America- 1 hope that this
misunderstanding will have a happy termination; but in so
serious a situation tbe conduct of France ought to be cir
cumspect, and 1 (ear that it has not been sufficiently so.—
What makes the thing still mote serious is the theory put
forward by the Miuisier of Foreign Affairs on this subject;
1 think his theory an aggravation of the (act itself. It con
sists iu saying that theie ought to be an American equili
brium, which should constitute us tbe surveillapt, and tha:
we should watch with jealousy the increasing grandeur of
America. Such conduct would be in any case improper,
but in the present circumstances it would be particularly
so. I am about to call the attention of tbe chamber to the
subject, not for the sake of opposition, or to make a distinct
proposition, but solely with the object of correcting the ideas
of the Government on the subject, if it can be done. I
must admit that I have good hopes, for it has been shown
that on serious occasions the opinions of the present Gov
ernment may be influenced by that of the Chamber, and of
that we have already had proofs, especially in regard to
the right of search, the affairs of La Plata, and the subject
of religious congregations. I am about to provoke, on the
part of the Chamber, what I call the clearing op of the most
serious question which may be brought forward during the
present session. You are aware that Texas is of great im
portance to the Uuited Stales, wbo are already in possession
of two-thirds of the Gulf of Mexico, and that its possession
was onxiously desired by that power; I will add that never
had an annexation been made in a more regular marine;.—
For more than ten year* Texas has been sepat ated front
Mexico,and all the powers, including France, liad recogni
zed it. 1 exas, being thus acknowledged independent, had
n right to dispose of itself as it chose. It considered it in
consistent with its interest to belong to a great State rather
than to be isolated. It proposed its annexation to the United
States. The question was debated. It was not patriotism
alone that determined the United States to agree to the pro
position; it was, in a great measure, real interests; but
feelings of patriotism came also into play, and now the an
nexation is a fart irrevocably accomplished. Nevertheless,
it is uuder these circumstances that our Cabinet hes consid
ered it its duly to oppose itself to this measure. If it ho
true, as slated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, that suc
cess should be the law of governments, there* has been n
fault in this affair, for it has failed, and has canted interrup
tion in our relations with the Uniied States. But what good
reason could have excited the opposition of the Cabinet to
the annexation T 1 can see none. I shall first examine mrr
relations with Mexico. Is there in America a State ta
which we owe less deference than to Mexico J Can it be
said that reasons of interest or consideration for Mexico '
should have moved us to prevent Texas from uniting itself
with the great American Republic? Did our commercial
interests demand it? It has, 1 know, been said that we H.vt.
an interest in drawing our supply of cotton from Texas ;'
but, in the first place, that State did not furnish a I«rgo
quantity ; and in that market it must be acknowledged thnt
Texas was of little consequence to us in that respect. If in
America there was only tho United States in opposition ip
France, it won!d,no doubt, have been better for us that die
United Stales should not acquire tbe neighboring countries.
But the Americans and ourselves are not the only powers
there. The English are also in those seas. You made a
treatv with Texas, and at tits same tin e England alao mad-)
cne,'in which the contrition of the mo.-t favored nation was'
carefully stipulated. It is certain the little independent re
publics do nothing more than constitute new subjects for the
service of England, and that it is better there should be ap'
annexation, which UtHe* iteip aymy (Ypjn the ascendancy of
that power, tn truth. I cannot find in ail this any reason
which cap have weight with statesmen. If, indeed, you
conatrieniiously believe in the American equilibrium, ii the
greatness of America frightens you more than anything else.
