NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Thursday, December #, 1846°° _ eee ROE Rinse AC Seen ‘Anxiety for the Foreign News. |All classes seem to be particularly anxious for the foreign intelligence to come by the Cambria. It willbe | of a very important character—whether it be good or bad » Asthe C: bas been out fourteen days, we reasonably hourly efpéct to hear of her arrival at Boston. The Great Messago—Mr. Polk. We have already given our firstimpressions of the extraordinary ?ocument put forth by the President, at Washington, on Tuesday. A re-perusal of this singular paper only strengthens the first opinion we formed of its character. The public, we believe, have been equally surprised at the tone of the mes- sage, the character of the details, the clearness of its expressions, and the firmness of its positions .— Mr. Polk has certainly shown himeelf more of a statesman than any one anticipated—not a small or A petty statesman either, but one of a mental calibre far beyond common place, realizing the sublime and lofty in his conceptions and viewsof American policy, ‘As usua!, the demoeretic prints in this latitude, are full of flattery and praise, without any analysis or exact comprehension of the positions assumed in the message. The opposition prints, on the gontra- ry, are struck dumb, and searcely know what to say, with the exception,ot the Fourier organ—Cave John- son’s favorite journal—which, as usual, can with equal ease, write a column of small criticism ona temple of Apollo, or furnish out to profit a Belshaz- zar’s feast, from the integuments of a half decayed squash. All the other journals, almost silent or fidgetty. Mr. Polk, in one bound, has leaped trom the obscu- rity and common place of a country town in Ten- nessee, to magnificence and sublimity in the foreign and domestic policy of the United States, and in the history of the world. On the subject of Texas an- nexation, the President’has pronounced an opinion on the conduct of England and France, and placed their acts in such a position as will astonish, if not intimidate, the mon- archies of western Europe. On the Oregon question he has checkmated England completely, and placed her in a laughable and ridiculous atti- tude, not only before the world of diplomacy in Eu- rope, but before the world of popular common sense every where. The effect which it will produce on the masses of the British people, as well as on the Government, will be itself curious and interesting. Yet Mr. Polk has not closed the door of reconcilia- tion. On the Oregon matter, he has retreated to a sort of armed neutral ground, that is perfectly im- pregnable, and which will give him complete power over all movements respecting it hereafter. It will ‘ake two or three years before either government can approach any point of negotiation on that sub- ject, while the rapid emigration, with the new Go. yernment about to be organized by Congress in that territory, will give advantages to the American Go- vernment—advantages which England has pertinaci- ously thrown away. So alse in regard to France and Texas; the President, ina moderate tone, and with the kindness and the friendly reminiscences of ano- ther age, administers a rebuke to the French Govern- ment which will create a perfect uproar in Paris, as soon as the message is read therein the cafés and sa- fons. The principles set forth by Mr. Polk in reference to the right of any two countries—independent repub- lies—to regulate their internal affairs and unite their destinies if they please, withoutany European iater- ference, is enunciated with a force and precision thet will tellin all quarters throughout Europe. By that bold and fearless enunciation, the door that admit- ted Texas is left open for California, Canada, &c., to step in hereafter and unite their destiny with the United States. Such is the firm and fearless attitude assumed by Mr. Polk towards the governments of England and France. Such is the rebuke he has administered to the mischievous intrigues of France end Eng- land. He has placed the whole of them hors de combat before the world of common sense. We anticipate great excitement, therefore, growing out of the message, in France and England. In fact, this message is the beginning of a new age—the first step im a new movement—the vibration of young America on olden Europe—the influence of a fresh people, just starting into a mighty existence, on in old and decaying continent. With regard to domestic politics, the recommen- dations of the President for a modification of the tariff to a revenue standard—the enlargement of the navy, by building steam vessels—an independent treasury, und various other domestic concerns, are all of the highest interest at home. The modification of the tariff, and the establish- ment of an independent treasury, are only parts of 4 general system of finance which will keep in check the banks throughout the country, and give protec- tion to the manufacturing interest by reducing the volume of the paper currency, and thus maintainthe | supremacy of American manufactures throughout the world. It is very evident that there are symp- toms of a new bank war. The financial system proposed by the President is so inimical to the in- flations caused by these institutions, that there is no doubt some general movement will be made by these rotten institutions in opposition to his administration. This will produce scenes like those which attended the convulsions of the United States Bank, from 1830 to 1840, and the probable consequences will be the destruction of the whole banking system, as it 1s now organized. The chart thus put forth by Mr. Polk, in his mes- sage, therefore, does not change the complexion of our domestic policy, but it will create a radical revolution in the manufacturing and commercial policy of this Union. The best protection to the manufacturers of thie country is the establishment of a system of currency by which they will be en- abled to undersell, in foreign markets, the manufac- tures of England and France. A specie currency would give more protection of this kind than any other, and the establishment of an independent treasury and the taking away from the banks the power of influencing the currency which is given to them by the surplus revenue of the government, would produce that effect on this country. On the whole, this message is one of the most remarkable documents of the times. {t will pro- duce a perfect explosion in Europe—it begins a com- mercial revolution at home. How will Congress treat its principles and its recommendations? We will treat upon this point hereafter.

We have no doubt the call will be responded to by all, and the day kept ac- | cording to ancient and time-honored custom—not as a day of fasting, however, but as a day of feasting. Visions of vast halls, with dinner tables groaning beneath the accumulated weight of the choicest pro- ducts of earth, air and ocean—the fragrant and always grateful perfume of hot dishes, just from the kitchen, causing the mouth to “water” with thank- fulness, and the heart to bound—blazing hearths, around which are congregated our friends and com- | panions, full of hope and gladness—these, and many | otherjrecollections, array themselves before our read- ers, as “thanksgiving” approaches. But the unexamp- led success which has attended the labors of the hu:- bandman, the manufacturer, the merchant, the arti- | san, and in fact all departments of industry through- | | out the Union, seem to call for some public demon- | tration of thankfulness to the Supreme Ruler and | | Disposer ot all Good, as some poor return for the | bounty bestowed on his creatures. The heart of | that man which does not overflow with gratitude, | | kindness and joy atthis season of general prosperity | and health, must indeed be callous to all the | finer feelings which be'ong to humanity.

Turnpenny, we have received important intellizence from the | of Cuba, respecting certai: nts nc in that quarter, bearing up: exico, ar of a most momentous che r trom Coney Island Things here look awful. This intelligence has been received by the Chief Rabbiand Judge of Israel in this city, the same « \stin- guished individual who borrowed habilimen Id Lear's night gown) from the wardrobe oi Theatre, to consecrate Grand Island asa for the Jews, twenty-five years ago—at wi! Jews put their fingers to their nose, and peri certain gyrations. It seems thata special messenger has arrived from Santa Anna, who is now in the Is- iand of Cuba, addressed to M. M. Noah, the Judge of | Israel, offering one half the plunder from the mines of Mexico, in his possession, and three quarters of | the jewelry he ever owned, if, through the instru- mentality of Noah, he could be restored to his long | lost and almost forgotten power in the ill-fated re- public of Mexico. Noah, it seems, is getting old and broken down, and is now doing a great busi- | in writing penny-a-line paragraphs fora penny pa- | per of this city, and does not feel disposed to run any risk in the attempt to restore Santa Anna. | He is, therefore, endeavoring to negotiate with the | Napoleon of the press, to procure his influence in the behalf of Mexico, and the restoration of Santa Anna to power, in that great and unhappy republic. , ‘Thus we see astrong and determined movement 1s begun, and the probability is that Santa Anna will , be again placed in his former position in Mexico. The news from Coney Island is also impertant and interesting. Jt seems, a contagion has broken | out among the clams—similar to that among™the ' potatoe crop of Europe—and a revolution is breaking out, to dispossess His Excellency, the present Go- vernor, who has managed the affairs of that inter- esting spot of God’s earth for the last quarter of a century.
