From the diift of Senator Allen’s harangue to- day, we are tending with increased velocity to a war, not with England single-handed, but with Jobn Bull, Louis Philippe, Nicholas, and the Spa- nish [nfanta. Gentleman, are you ready? “It is the sun of Austerlitz.” The monuments of fifty centuries are now to witness your intrepidity. Light up the beaconon Bunker Hill—fire the signal gun from the old house at Yorktown ; wake up, ye sons | of Eutaw, Savannah, and the Cowpens :— “The ball-fires flash on high—from rock to rock Each volley tells that thousands cease to breathe, Death ridet up the sulphery siroc, Red Battle stamps his foot, and nations feel the shock.” Are you ready, ye sons of Gotham, or are your three wise men still afloatin the bowl? If 80, bring ’em in; for God’s sake bring ’em in! Clear the track when the bell rings. Ten days may de- cide upon the contest between the old world monar- | chists and the sovereign people of “Hail Colum- bia!” And if we shallhave blundered into the struggle a quarter of a century in advance of the time, we are not the leas bound to fight it out. Oregon may wake up an earthquake which will shake old mother earth, as if it were the precur- ser of doomsday. The tariff, the sub-treasury, the land redaction, are ‘obsolete ideas’ in this crisis. The question 1s, the expulsion of European dominion from North America, or the extinction of this Republican con- federacy, Nay, more ; the issue will be the suprem- | acy of republicanism or the monarchial system. The statue of Mars, at the capitol, has a sterner frown upon his brow to-day—the sweet face of the Goddess of Peace is cloudy. Columbus, on the projection from the eastern portico, holds his ball a foothigher, and the Indian girl, at his side, crouches as it d dging a cannon shot. Charge, Chipman, charge ; on Allen, on; War to the knife for Oregon ! _ Gro it—go it, while you are young! Distribute the rifles—rig up the militia! Forward, march! Down with the compromise—down with diplomatics and hydrostaties—down with arbitration. Hurrah for Polk—hurrah for Texas—hurrah for America. Yes, indeed, my beauties— “—John Bull will rue the day, That he came across the ocean for to fight America ” Five hundred thousand Americans in arms!

Wasuinaton, Feb. 11, 1846. Mexican View of Mexican Matters. The despatch last forwarded, ernbraced a strong tincture of the inoculation the public mind is receiv- ing. in Washington, of an unnatural etfervesence; and to expect to pacificate contention daring the prevalence of it, 1s almost as hopeless as would be the attempt to stem the passing breezes rushing swiftly from the icy North into the warm expanded atmosphere of the Sunny south. Yet, duty is impera- tive, especially that of showing to the Herald, agreeable to promise, for the benefit of its readers, what no other print can herald, the real pith of the thought of the government of Mexico, in the present crisis of national differences. That which is wrong, must be set right. If notset right at once, and forev- ever, the peace of the world, the interests, happi- ness and ver} fundamentals of society, are plunged into a ruinous turmoil, and “chaos is come again.”” ‘The subject involving the responsibilities of a na- tion’s integrity, debated long in the House of Repre- sentatives, is, at last, decided therein in uproarious coniusion. Yes; the discussion of a question in- volving the possible loss of a multitude of lives, and millions of individuals’ private and national wealth, has terminated ina partial decision of it, not only with no coolness, but in the very element of boiling eagerness. This serious matter, and all the conse- quences that shall result from it, the offspring of an excitement, is the effect of a cause That cause isa wrong; that wrong, the wrong of this government overleaping the boundary ot a national neighbor.— True, Texas without a boundary, is no longer un- der the control of Mexico; but, had the boundary established by Mexico and the United States been respected by the latter, there would have been no difference with her now—there would have been no pew boundary to be proposed on the part of the United States, and no cause forthe insult to Mexico of sendinga Hsien into it to propose a new one, when itis impossible she can hope or expect new treaties would be any better defence to her than the treaties still existing. The simple case is understood by her, thus :— Mexico entered into treaties with the individual citizens of the United States,by their representative, their President. This is plain, tor General Andrew Jackson, when he, ea the nation’s voice, published his ratification ot the treaty of amity on bth April, °82, he published it under his own signature, in order “that it might be respected by the United States and the citizens thereof.” Now, it ie plain, and cannot be gainsaid, with « particle of truth, that Texas was admitted to be, by this governgnent, a part of Mexi- co. Had it not been so perm@tes and considered, there would have been no need of United States’ le- Gision on the subject. The aot, therefore, of the aited States Congress, by which it assumes con- trol over Texas, admits that fact—that fact by con- ional action so admitted, ushers forth to the | gress: f ‘mazementot the world the unpleasant position that the Congressof the U.S. hasin ittor itscitizens the right to canoel treaties of boundary as well as of amuy—indefeasible right, in short, to repudiate the mosteacred of national engagements at ite own will aad pleasure. Such an assumption is viewed an ipeult to reason—without principle, and void of justiee—-giving to all nations a perplexing insecurity. ie coaverts a treaty into a joke—a mere momentary obligation, which caprice or selfish interest may bouad overat.will. [tis an indefensible position ; one that Mexico shows plainly she intends the Uni- ted States shall relinquish. It is one that ail na- tions, having treaues with the United 8, have also an ioterest ia Poningting 5 and one which the United States, and citizens thereot, if they are hon- erable, and wish to be so considered, will, it is be- heved, relinquish, now and forever, or they get no settlement ot existing diflerences with Mexico. Tt cannot be tolerated, it is the rea thought of Mexico, that two separate governments should exist iM One nation—one, as it were, to play into the hands of the other.” The goverament of the citizens, with the rightto act for themselves in the teeth of treaties entered into for them, their govern- ment standing aloot, being aware of, yet declaring they know nothing about their acts, and have mo- thing to do with them; and the government of the citizens by itselt, in defiance of treaties, acceptin, the spoil aequired by those whom it represents, an whose acts it has denied a knowlodge of. Thus, if by a treaty there is no restraint on the citizen ‘in ~ace or war! The issue will be | whose behalf it is entered into, then, in that case also, as welt as in the one already alluded to, is uo use fora treaty. For, after making a treaty of amity with their goveroment, if 50,000 citizens, or a less number, can enter into a neighbor's terri- tory, in the teeth of a treaty so made with them by their representatives, the citizens can make war without the government—the last isa nullity, and the treaty useless. Society is thus dissolved into its original elements, and barbarity, not civilization, must eventually triumph. The rights assumed by the United Stutes, then, of taking territory of their cinzens, and abrogating treaties at will, is incom- patible with the security of nations, and of Mexico in particular. ground, and will have nothing todo with Mr. Sli- dell. It makes a protecting guaranty imperativel requisite; and it is proper the readers of the Heral: it being the source of general information, should be fully aware of what may reasonably be expected as the issue of existing circumstances. Mexico will expect no secarity in a treaty, unless the over: tures for entering into itcome to her through friend- ly powers, with the understanding that those pow- iy wall guaranty the boundary to be establisned yi Again, the thought of Mexico is, that if anew treaty of boundary be entered upon with the United States, her national sovereignty over Texas must in som@way be previously admitted. If it is not, there is still no use for a treaty, or the powers guar- anteeing the boundary, may be called upon against | their will to take ue the cause of quarrel, should a Donec be again leaped. It is thought, therefore, that the United States should retrace its steps in re- spect to Texas, antecedent to'a’new boundary being | agreed upon, and by so doing tranquilize the public thought of Mexico—the public thought of the whole ot the States of the world. Commotion is an unna- tural element for the blessings of flourish in. Itis believed the United States might, by the lamp of its wisdom, in’ its glory and power, robe the communities of the earth with an example far more resplendent than the one of trampling on | the feeliags, and unjustly crushing the sensitive na- | tional emouon of others; itself revelling the while in the niischiefs it announces by it shall occupy the future. Would to Heaven the national mind of the American Union would hush the e:ements of anger it is howling abroad ; would, it would succumb, in the sweetness of humility, to the necessity of vene- rating the sympathies of others, and permit itself to swim, not on the boisterous ocean of infelicity— guns, and drums, and wounds—but calmly, in the home of the winged eagle, as floating with graceful ease in the blue haven of delight, the upper air, it revels in the very deliciousness of luxurious con- tent.

It had always been the policy of Gi in to intimidate us to the con- cession of her usurpations. He contrasted with great | power the diferent course pursued here, from that go- | verning the English cabinet, the Parliament, the states- men, and the people of England. You heard ne prosia- mation of timid counsels in England—no getting up on the floor of the Commons end announeing the weakness | of her navy, and the. power of her enemies. No, ; every man there stands out for the ability of his govern- meni, as woll as for her rights. Mr. Allen protested that England could to war with the United States, dared not do it.

The invasion of England was thus cut off by a stratagem, not by the superior strength of the British forces at sea, for it was actually interior to that ot Bonaparte. And yet, at that time, the navy of England was greater, compared with that of the rest of the world, than it has ever been since. America and Europe? Mr. Allen next looked into the steam navigation system. By its intro- duction, the comparative naval superiority of England was greatly reduced, Steam ships were not required to calculate tho hour of the wind and the tides Napo- leon had been compelled to do; but they mig) in deflance of the elements Ste: thi power of Eng! tem, the strength of r sailors that could uperiority of Great at the battle of the and the means for | Nile.

But steam had al- most done away with the necessity of sailors, and so far | was the power of England reducod. The persevering Senator passed to the position of Englan: dependent upon her commerce and her colonies for her very exist- ence.

The examination into | this branch of Mr. Allen's argument was elaborate, well | sustained, and abounding with excellent deduction: | from historical fects.

Mr. mn concluded with a re- | iteration of his solemn belief that there was no danger of war from England alone ; and that the only danger to be apprehended was that of an European coalition, which would declare Oregon independent, with a view to the preservation of the “ balance of power,” &c. At all hazards, Me. Allen contended for the passage of the notice, and the protection of our 6 or 8,000 citizens in the Oregon.

The brightness of the sky, however, tempts a great many of both sexes, into the most fashionable promenades, and there is, con- sequently, a constant flutter of cloaks and ribbons, and ‘a crowd of coral lips, rosy cheeks, and blue noses, on the sunny sides of the way. Chesnut street is the great theatre of fashion, and presents, on such a day as this, every variety of taste in dress, and of the human face divine. The strike of the Moyamensing weavers still con” tinues, and the apprehension excited when the turn-out commenced, has proved to be without foundation. The operatives have behaved with the utmost p1 ety. ‘They have adopted the policy of ‘masterly inact! ity % as the best ins of accomplishing their ls, hav resolved to abstain from work till tasir terms are com- plied with. . ‘A new piece, called the ‘‘Enchantress,” attracts con- siderable attention at the Walnut street theatre, and the music seems to have enchanted therising generation, for it is heard as you walk the streets, from the mouth of er urchin and every darkey who can turna tune very ortwirl a lip. tre continues to draw crowds. The Arch street th Jim Crow Rice is the attraction, besides an excellent oon] , with Mra. Lewis, for other dramatic ances. I saw Miss Lee, the danseuse, in Chest- nut street yesterday. Why ‘she not make her ap- pearance on the iu General Welsh’s success with the National Circus, is surprising, and le wonder how it is that he contin- ues to furnish novelties for so lo ¥ strotoh. The sea- son has been unusually protrac: and yetthe rage to nese Tiabeted. Levi North witness t! rformances see: i Airs. Howard, and others, continue to ex- jiration of the public by their splendid and daring feats. Among the new pieces performed, is one of great brilliancy, called the “Giant ofthe Black Rock, or the Knight of the Wood Demon.” . Our Legislature seems to have made but very little progress this seasion in matters which deeply concern e ioterests of Pennsylvania. National matters, with which they have no bi jeem to have engrossed their attention to a gr yf time and money. One of the most interesting cts now before them, is Dill to grant the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad the mght of way through the southwest corner of the State to Pittsburg. Tne people of heny, Green, Fayette, Esq. [mpd Bog pam with his usual | and the southwestern counties, generally Aya ah pro- ject, but the cast and north are opposed to ikely to have an injurious effect upon the State works, and upon the interests of the city of Philadelphia. Side by aide with this ae that of @ continuous railroad from Pittsburg & ‘niladelphia is agitated, and an endeavor 1s ‘on foot to muke one project Crepe iys upon the succes of the other. Parties ate pretty well mixed up een the aubject, and what the result will be there is no foretell. iog. With the national subjects now pene the effect seems to be, to delay legislation. Several important matters require at jon, not the least among which is a reform in the ent mode of drawing jurors. A bill for that purpose ‘been reported, but it seems to have been put to sleep for some purpose not explained. The magnetic telegraph between this city and New- ark, is used toa c lerable extent by those who desire &@ more rapid comm tion with New York than can be supplied by the mails. [t does not yet, however, fully answer the pu: of our business community. They are im nt of the delay and disappointment which ne- cessarily occurs, at times, in the transmission: of des- patches between Newark and New York. It is too un- certain, and they are anxious for the time when the line will be completed to the latter place, or to Jersey City. Vatil this shall have Leen done the telegraph will not pay expenses. ‘he anxiety of our people for the arrival of the Mas- sachusetts, romains ubabated, and the enquiries at the bos hy office are incessant. The stock market exhibits an improvement to-day, though it has not reached the point from which it fell previous to the last Oregon correspondence andthe re- Jection of arbitration es a mode of settling our disputes ‘with Britain, This ia a preof here is not thet con- fidence in the peaceable settle: some people are so loud in proclaiming. believe that England will fight for Ore clear to my mind, that the Bim) of this country will rather than yield our claim to the parallel of 5440. 49th degree never will be adopted—there will be no omise shost of a total relinquishment ofall claim tothe territory by England.
