THE NEW YORK HERALD. Vol, X., No, 200—Whole No, 3800, “THE ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY HERALD. A FOURTH EDITION REQUIRED ! Wonderful Success of Newspaper Literature. Monday, we published a third edition of many thousands of the Ilustrated Weekly Herald, con- taining an account of the riots in Philadelphia. We have now printed a fourth edition of just as many thousands, to supply the demand for the “ Great Western,” and packets yet to sail. The manner in which this illustrated Weekly Herald has been received by the public has asto- nis .ed even us, who were long since prepared to be astomshed at nothing. Many attempts have been heretefore made to establish pictorial papers in this city, but from their invariable want of suc- cess, the poverty of the effort, want of talent and genius in managing it, it was supposed that such a thing could not be made to succeed here. We have shown, however, that such a paper, if proper- ly got up, is certain of receiving ample patronage and support. One of the most curious results of the popularity of this paper has been, thata great proportion of the recent sales have been amongst the Irish—the most pious and determined followers of Bishop Hughes, who bought the beautiful illustrated Herald in the very face of his bull of excommunication against all who would touch or look at the Herald. ‘We mean to continue at proper intervals, and as occasion may require, the publication of Mlus'rated Weekly Heralds. We have four or five artists al- most constantly in our employment; and we are prepared to give graphic illustrations of the pro- gress of society, and all important events in the most expeditious, accurate, and graphic style. As soon as the excitement of these riots is over, we shall enter on the work of illustrating the manner in which the two great parties are conducting the Presidential contest, by means of engravings, of the beauty and excellence of which no one can form any conception until they are published. * SEA AIR.—A FINE SAIL DOWN THE BAY, DALY, Bet RUTH NO Riemica. ‘H. ‘Truesdell, witha view of pl d ‘safely accommodating with th ort Exeursions to the Lo for the purpose of viewing the Harbor, Fortificatio YY and Ucean Scenery, will makes Daily Trip (Sundays except- ed). in fair weather, down the Bay, landing, going and return- ing, at Kort Hamilto ‘Wiil leave Barclay street (N.R ) at 3% o’clock P.M., ote street (6 R.) at 3%, Pier No. 1 wh5 at4, touch- ing at Bare'ay street at 434, Amos street 43g, and return in time to land the eng: it Seven o'clock; commencing Monday. ind continue until further nu ‘are ‘T'wenty dren under Twelve years of age, half-price. feet order will be maintained on board, andevery effort will be mate to render the excursion entirely Digassat, ‘The Trip will be omitted in stormy weather. jy8 tfrre GRAND FISHING EXCURSIONS, Th PILOT, Capt.

Call for the Interference of EUROPEAN POWERS. Suppressed Documents, Accompanying the President’s Message transmit- ting the Treaty of Annexation. To Tue Senate or tue Uniren States:— In my message communicating the Treaty with Texas, | expressed the opinion that if Texas was not now annexed, it was probable that the oppor- tunity of annexing it to the United States would be lost forever. Since then the subject has been much agitated; and if an opinion may be formed of the chief ground of the opposition to the treaty, it isnot that Texas ought not at some time or other to be annexed, but that the present is not the proper time. It becomes, therefore, important, in this view of the subject, and is alike due to the Senate and the country, that I should furnish any papers in my possession which may be calculated to impress the Senate with the correctness of the opinion expressed by me. With this view, I here- with transmit a report from the Secretary of State, accompanied by various communications on the subject. These communications are from private sources; and it is to be remarked that a resort must in all such cases, be had chiefly to private sources of information, since it is not to be expected that any Government, more especially if situated as Texas is, would be inclined to develope to the world its ulterior line of policy. Among the extracts is one from a letter from General Houston to General Andrew Jackson, to which I particularly invite your attention; and an- other from General Jackson to a gentleman of high pespecenly now of this place. Considering that General Jackson was placed in a situation to held the freest and fullest interview with Mr. Miller, the private and confidential secretary of President Houston, (who, President Houston informed Gen. Jackson, ‘‘knows all his actions and understands all his motives,” and who was authorized to _com- municate to General Jackson the views of the policy entertained by the President of Texas, as well applicable to the present as the future,) that the declaration made by General Jackson in his letter, ** that the present golden moment to obtain Texas must not be lost, or Texas might, from necessity, be thrown into the arms of England, and be for- ever lost tothe United States,” was made with a full knowledge ofall the circumstances, and ought to be received as conclusive of what will be the course of Texas, should the present treaty fail. From this high seurce, sustained, if it requires to be sustained, by the accompanying communica- tions, I entertain not the leastdoubt that if annexa- tion should now fail, it will, in all human proba- bility, fail forever. Indeed, I have strong reasons to believe that instructions have a/ready been given by the Texan Government to propose to the Go- vernment of Great Britain forthwith, on the fail- ure, to enter into a treaty of commerce and alli- ance offensive and defensive. Joun Tyier. Wasurnaton, May 16, 1844. MR. ALLEN TO MR. WALKER. , _ Houston, March 1, 1844. Dear Srr—Looking to you as the friend of Tex- as, I deem it my duty to communicate some facts which may notbe known to you. Itis wellknown in Texas that, but forthe interference of the last Congress, a free trade treaty would have been made between Texas and Britain; that on these terms England would have obtained peace for Texas with Mexico, and thus Texas would become a commer- cial Seteoeay ae England ; but the Congress of Texas were willing to make one more and a final effort for annexation to the United States, and Pre- sident Houston was induced to abandon, for the present, his policy, and make this last effort for An- nexation 5 : : If this effort fails, the President will resume his fomer policy, and a free trade treaty with England will be consummated. If ‘exas is now rejected by the United States, the revulsion of feeling will be tremendous, and the people of Texas will become bitterly hostile to the United States. In that event the popular feeling will demand that the treaty and alliance with England willbe formed immediately; an¢ President Houston, who has never believed that the annexation would succeed, has prepared his 1n- structionsaccordingly, and the alliance with Erg- land will be consummated at once, and British influence will be universal throughout Texas. The idea of the British minister is, that Gal- veston will become a free port for British manufac ures; and that, through Red river, and other routes, they will be smuggled into the United States, so as to take place entirely of American manufactures. The blow which Great Britain thus proposes te aim, through Texas, is both at the commerce and manufactures of the Unired States. She expecta that, instead of New York, and the other cities of the North, being the places where British goods are now imported, they will ali be car- ried io Galveston, where they will pay no duty.— This is the blow which she aims at your commerce. And now, as to our manufactures: she expects to substitute British goods, free of duty, smuggled through Texas, in place of American manufactures. Next, as to your navigating interest: she expects to substitute British instead of American vessels, by depriving you of dutieson imports. She expects to overthrow your revenue; and, lastly, to make Texus your bitterand eternal foe. Such is what Captain Elliot and British diplomacy are now attempting to accomplish in Texas, and what will be immediately consummated if the annexation dors not at once take place. Captain Elliot laughs at the idea of an- nexation, for he says the Northern States will never consent; and, therefore, he feels certain that Texas will become a British dependency. lam, as you know, American in all my feelings, and therefore would greatly deplore these results, al- though Texas would derive from them the greatest pecuniary benefits. And finally, let me assure you on my own intimate and personal knowledge of all the fac's, that if annexation does not immediately take place, Texas will fall at once, from inevitable necessity, and from counsels already resolved upon, into the arms of England; and you and I will be- come citizens not merely of foreign, but of hostile nations. I have addressed myself thus to you, because you have known me long, and must be certain that I would state to you nothing but the undisguised truth. If you can be enabled to see all the corres- pondence of President Houston, you will find it will contirm all I have told you. 2 I think it probable I may be in Washington very soon, when I hope to have the pleasure of seeing you. Please present my kind regards to your lady. Very respectfully, &e. A. C. ALLEN. To Hon. &. J. Waker. = § Extract from General Houston’s letter, President of the Republic of Texas, to General Jackson, dated Fesrvary 16, 1844, A special minister, together with our resident Chargé, has been appointed wish full powers, to consummate the work of annexation. But that you may be the more pertectly iniormed of every- thing interesting connected with the subject, I have directed my private secretary and confidential friend, W. D. Miller, Esq., to Reid dl my personal salutations and embraces to you, with authority to communicate every thing upon every subject. Mr. Miller is a young gentleman who has been with me in my office since the commencement of my present administration. He knows all my actions, and understands all my motives. I have concealed nothing from him, nor will he conceal any thing from you. Mr. Miller bears despatches, and has been appointed secretary to the secret legation at Washington. If you should desire to send any commusication to Washington, you will find him a ready writer, and he will take pleasure in serving you ad an amanuensis. | 7 "| "Now, my venerated friend, you will perceive that Texas is presented to tie United States as a bride adorned for her espousals ; but if, in the confident hope of the Union, she should be rejected,her mor- tification would be indescribable. She has been sought by the United States, and this is the third time she has consented. Were she now to be spurned, it would forever terminate expectation on her part ; and it would then be only left for the United States to expect that she would seek some other friend, but all Christendom would justify her in a course dictated by necessity and sanctioned by wisdom. However adverse this might be to the wishes or the interests of the United States, in her present situation she could not ponder long, The following .2teresting document is published by authority in the;Mexican Diario del Gobierno ot the 8th ultimo, from which paper we translate it. It is an appeal or protest, by Mexico, from the acts of the United States, to certain European powers, and was, no doubt, instigated by one or} more] o! the Ministers to whom it is addressed. ‘Circular to their Exzcellencies the Fyench, Spanish, English and Prussian Ministers. Nationat Pawace, Mexico, May 31, 1844. It is a long time since the Governmentof the un- dersigned, Ministe? of Foreign Affairs and Govern- ment of the Mexican Republic, was convinced that the Government of the United States of Ame- rica would employ and put in execution all the means conducive to thatend, to make themselves masters of the department of Texas. The ques- tion has been started and urged at different times ; but from circuinstances well known, without effect- ing the contemplated incorporation. The same circumstances, and the idea that a Government which so frequently announces that its principles of action are noble, generous, and founded in jus- tice, and its indisposition to appear before the world ina transaction the accomplishmentof which would brand it as an usurper, induced Mexico to congra- tulate herself that at no time could be completed an act unparalleled in the history of civilized na- tions, and which would belie the protestations of friendship and benevolence received trom the Uni- ted States, and which were responded to with ear- nest demonstrations of good faith and loyalty. But this confidence, which was truly illusory, could not induce Mexico to neglect the duty of re- peating, on every proper occasion, the right of the republic to the territory in question, and to urge on the United States tn cease to foment and encou- rage the Toe ec aarere by the ungrateful co- lenists whom Mexico had admitted into her bor- der, and which kindness they repaid with such per- fidy. It was for these reasons that the provisional administration, in accordance with its duty, ad- dressed the government of the United States, the notes which the undersigned had the honor to re- mit to the respectable diplomatic corps of friendly nations, protesting against every kind of assistance which the Texans might receive from them, well knowing that such protection would tend to embar- rass the position of Mexico towards that territory, and aid the United Staces to consummate their scheme of acquisition. For the same cause, I pro- tested anew and with all solemnity, as soon as | learned that the agitation of the bed of the an- nexation of Texas to the Ameiican Union had been renewed, declaring that if that act were ratified, it would be considered as a declaration of war be- tween the two nations. i The government ot the undersigned could not do less than hope, that after a due reflection onthe consequences of such a step, after appreciating the just rights of Mexico, and the respect due to prin- ciples the most sacred between enlightened nations, the government of the United States, considering the position in which it would be placed before the whole world, would abandon a project which must necessarily cause such serious evils to its own country, as well as to Mexico, which with much constancy and sincerity strove to be a faithtul ally ot hers. “But the pontary, has been the case. Th President of the United States has at last treaty with the intruded authorities of Texas for the annexation of that Mexican department to that Republic, and the treaty has been transmitted to the Senate for their assent. That government has consummated, onits part, the injustice which it contemplated tor so longa time, and it now onl: lacks the assent of the Senate to become a law. Even yet, the government of the undersigned flatters itself that the treaty cannot become a law. It has faith in the wisdom, the sense and good judgment of the members of that Congress, and in their regard for the sound principles which ought a ue one nation in its conduct towards another, and trusts that the United States will not be found wantingin duty. But if such should be the case, Mexico will act in accordance with what is de- manded by the honor of the nation and its indis- putable rights to its dearest interest. In advance of any decision ot the Senate of that Republic, the Chargé des Affaires ad interim of the same, addressed a note to the undersigred, in- forming him of the signing of the treaty, and the motives for so doing. The undersigned has the honor to enclose a copy of that document (in this circular) abstaining from any remarks on its con- tents, because itself so abundantly shows its ab- surdity, and calls attention to the foundation on which peace and the integrity of all nations rest, if acknowledgment is given to the principal of ac- quisition, that each has a right to seize on what is convenient for its own security and prosperity.

Descent of the Mississippi-Floods on the Upper Mississippi. New Orveans, June, 1844. Ihave just made a trip down the Mississippi in one of our elegant and spacious steamers, on board ot which each passenger had a commodious state- room assigned him, with one door opening on the guards, and another entering an airy saloon cabin, which is elevated above the heat, dirt, and offen- sive odors of the deck and hold. fortable apartment, when tired of a lounge upon the promenade, or when the chat of the social hall Janguishes or grows wearisome, the passenger may retire, and in all the privacy and seclusion of his | own chamber, sit and contemplate the rapidly pass- ing scene before him, and when that grows mo- notonous or farniliar, with his book or writing ma- terials, he tinds agreeab!e employment for a dull hour. ‘Thus, in the space of five days, at a cost of $10 only, we were wafted, in a floating palace, furnished with all the comforts and luxuries of @ hotel, a distance of 1600 miles, from the fresh ver- dure and opening flowers of spring—from the new- ly planted fields, where corn was just struggling eee the ground in Iowa and Wisconsin, to re- gions where the matured fruits of summer are being gathered and are already in the market. : The weather on shore was sultry and oppressive, but borne along.in our swift flight upon a boom- the mosquito, thereby leaving these musical cem- panions behind us, we created in the sluggish at- mosphere a brisk, bracing current, almost as re- freshing as t@e mountain breeze.

All the tributeries flowing from the West, and having their sources at the base of the Rocky Mountains, having this season brought down swollen floods that have overflowed their own banks and spread devastation through their course, have filled the banks of the Mississippi to the brim; —and from the mouth of the Missouri to the month ot Red River, the waters, at everv low point, are bursting over the banks, and rushing with the rapid distant from the river. up, and overflow in front, the wide waste of waters spread out in its rear.

The extravagance mentioned by Mrs. Frrelloppe as having occurred at an Indiana eamp meeting was not here realized. Her quotation from Milton would not here apply to the preachers: “Blind mouths that scarce themselves know how to hold ‘A sheep hook, or have learned aught else the least | ‘That to the faithful herdsman’s art belongs ; But when they list their lean and flashy sovgs, | Grate on their scrannel pipes of wretched straw, | ‘The hungry skeep look up and are not fed— But swollen with wind, and the rank mist they draw, Rot inwardly, and foul contagion snread.” No—no--this woodland worship, when conduct- ed as I have seen it, has a most imposing effect. 1 | would venture to prophecy it will be the summer worship of the people of Upper Canada. The suges | of old worshipped in groves, and they understood the ¢aste of nature. The preachers ‘at this camp | meeting were sensible persons; and | heard nothing of what is called ranting or brawling from them We reached the ground about an hour betore sunset—the day was delightful, and the approach to the spot highly picturesque. The spot chosen was the verge ofan unbroken forest, with a space of about 15 acres in front of cleared grass jand, which served as a sort of lawn. This green plot was skirted by the south branch of the Kidewu Ri ver—a pretty stream—the opposite bank of which, at this spot, is bold, precipitous and woody—table land stretching away from the top, well cleared and cultivated. The views to the right and left of the camp ground were good—away to the right, at the termination of the view, lay the pretty village of Kemptville, backed by woods to the north—the rays of the setting sun dancing on its glittering spires ; and off to the left stretched a highly cul- tivated country, with clumps of woods here and there studded over it. The eternal forest lay in rear ef the camp ground. So much for the view without. Within, Tents of different sizes were pitched very near together, in form much resembling a horse shoe; the « tar, stand or pulpit—call it what you like, it ail amovnts to the same thing—was about 20feethigh; a long range ot steps, something similar to the gal- lery of a theatre, ran round the base of this altar: on this, the host of singers sang, and from the platform high above, the priests, preachers or ministers, spoké forth to the multitude ranged he- neath on a sloping ground—the ascent from the pulpit, stand, or altar Around this slope, as a sort of detence, fires burned brightly Five high frames, constructed in the form of altars, were placed at regular intervals within the enclosure ; on these were supported layers of earth and sod, on which burned immense fires of blazing pine wood. ‘ When we arrived, a preacher was in the midst of his sermon; and his voice which was, indeed, loud, appeared to be increased fifty-fold by the echo of the deep dark brown woods which sur- rounded him. His voice excepted, a solemn si- lence reigned all round. But what can | say of the effect produced when the singing commenced ? nothing that will not fall far short of the reality. lt was grand, sublime, thrilling. This was the moment at which one could (eel anytting like the solemn and beautitul eflect which | had heard ascribed to this woodland worship. It is certain, that the combined voices of such a multitude, (up- wards of 1,000,) heard at dead of night, from the deptns of an eternal forest; the many fair faces turned upwards, and looking paler and lovelier, as they met the moonbeams trickling through living green, the dark figures of the officials at the front of the circle, the lurid glare thrown by the altar fires on the woods beyond, the little children en- circling their mothers, beyond again sitting at the deor of each tent, Arabian like, the curtains in front of the tents drooping, and the faint light that gleamed through the white drapery, backed as it was by the dark forest, had altogether a beautuful and mysterious effect that set the imagination at work. It did altogether produce an eflect which I shall not soon forget. The esechityy was as good as any J have heard any where ; and you know it isa part of my creed that the most unfettered scion of religion, ifhe is only zealous, can preach just as weil in the eye ot many persons—and those not the least discrimina- ting—as the Archbishop of Canterbury or the Pope of Rome ; but in that of the great mass—the peo- ple—where unsuspecting faith is to be found in all, how much superior is the former to the latter? (of course I mean in effect.) He speaks in their own language, dresses hisideas in their ideas, draws his parables by their parables, ascends to Heaven as they ascend, descends to hell as they descend—in a word, he is hand in hand, heart in’ heart, soul in soul with them. Out of the towns, it is my firm be- lef that this Methodism will ina very short time be the rehgion of western Canada.” The sturdy Irish Orangeman is bowing belore it—the flinty Scottish Presbyterian softens to it—the hurly burly John Bull enthusiastically embraces it—and the whole of the native and American population are fast rooted withia its insidious coils. Methodiem is a democratic religion, and democracy reigns triumphant throughout the North American Conti- nent; therefore, by the logic of Euclid, and the experience of ages, Methodisin will be the religion of the continent. All the acts of men and govern- ment cannot resist its onward march. ‘The clergy- men of the old establishments are propelling the movement indirectly. With these reflections, after making a tourround the circle of tents, Pwalked leisurely homewards, tully determined to never hear Camp Meeungs made a subject of ridicule again No rioting, no obscenity, no impropriety of any kind, disgraced the scene while I was there. At the sound of horn, all regularly assembled at worship, and peace- ably retired. Itastrue, a few wild foolish young men,‘among whom, I dare say, there were some ruffians, grouped round at a distance; but an ac- ‘ive magistrate was on the ground, backed by an efficient corps of watchmen, ready ot a moment’s warning to inflict summary punishment on trans- sressorss, A preacher informed me that no breach of the peace, or of their regulations had occurred since their commencement, Thursday last, and that they were determined for the future to prevent such scenes as have hitherto disgraced camp meet- ings.—Kingston (Canada) Whig, July 5. “Small Feelings.” Mr. Eprror— I noticed in your report of the dinner given to the City Greys, of Boston, that Col.
