NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Saturday, February 21, 1826, = THE WEEKLY HERALD. The Scene of the Shipwrecks, ON SQUAN BEACH, Our weekly paper is generally very interesting, but this week’s sheet will eclipse all its predecessors in in- terest. Tn addition to the late important news received at the Herald office by an exclusive express, it will contain an admirable portrait of the ever-living Washington, and an iustration, as correct as it was melancholy, of the scene of the shipwrecks at Squan Beach on the night of the lith inst’ ; also, the trial of Miller, alias Cupid, with a portrait, for robbing the tow-bargo Clinton, together with the latest Congressional and Legislative news, up to the last moment. It will be reedy at eight o'clock this morning. Price 6} cents. Amertean Affairs Kurope.—Neutrality of France, We give on the outside of to-day’s paper, severa| additional extracts, of considerable interest, from our foreign papers, which refer to our relations with France and Great Britain. The Oregon question and the balance of power question seem to have excited considerable atten- tion in the French Chamber of Deputies. The de- bates between M. Guizot, Thiers, and Berryer, up- on these matters, were of a very interesting charac- ter, and resulted in the Ministry obtaining a mejori- ty of seventy-eight, in sustafning a perfectly neutral position, in the event of acollision between Great Britain and the United States, upon the Oregon question. The French Ministry deny having inter- fered in any way with the annexation ef Texas to the United States, any further than on invitation from the Texas government aad of its Minister at Paris; that France had advised Texas to maintain her independence, and Mexico to recognise it; that it had proclaimed Texas free to adopt any course she pleased, and when once she had proclaimed her choice, she had nothing to say. This was the course Great Britain pursued in the same affair, and these admissions confirm the statements heretofore made, that both of these governments had exerted themselves to prevent the annexation of Texas to the United States. They have had nothing to say now in relation to the result of that movement, be- cause they failed in their efforts. According to the remarks of the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, it would appear that France was more disposed to aid this country in increasing its possessions, than placing obstacles in the way. There were, at present, he said, “three powerful nations intent on aggrandizing, beyond measure, their territory—Great Britain, Russia, and the United States. That it was of the highest impor- tanoe t> France that these three nations should bal- ance each other’s power; and that none of them should attain a preponderating influence. She was, consequently, interested in protecting the indepen- dence of the American States.” From the tone of these remarks, we should judge that the French Government was more in favor of an extension of the territory of the United States, than that of Great Britain. The neutral position determined upon by the Gov- ernment of France, in the event of a rupture be- tween England and America, upon the Oregon question, was considered the mdst honorable, the most profitable, and the best calculated to put an end to the war. This neutrality would be difficult to maintain. The Government and the people of France do not take the same view of matters, when Great Britain is a party interested on one side, and the United States on the other. Any disturbance in the peaceful relations of these two countries, would, in all probability, draw France into the affair, but not in opposition to the United States. France could not remain neutral. The Government could not maintain such a position. There is too much similarity in the principles of the people of the two countries—France and America—and too much sympathy among the masses for republican institu- tions. In the language of M Thiers, every in crease in the power of the United States is another step towards the political freedom of France; and with this principle in view—with this fact in their mind—the people of that country will not be contented with occupying a neutral position, while Great Bntain is striving to check any in- crease in the power of the United States ; to crush us oF restrict us in our territory. A war between the United States and Great Britain, upon the Ore- gon question, would, without doubt, involve the prin- cipal powers of Europe, which would strengthen this country in its struggles, rather than weaken it. In connection with these things, it appears that on the 29th of January, the American Minister in Londen, and Lord Aberdeen, the Minister of For- eign Affairs, held a conference of two hours, which | was the subject of much remark in the political cir- | elesot London. And among the passengers in the Cambria, were Mr. Bache, bearer of despatches from Mr. MeLane to Mr. Buchanan; Mr. Crampton, son of Sir Phillip Crampton, the Secretary of Lega- tion to Washington, bearer of despatches from the English government to Mr. Pakenham. AnNorHer Severe Svow Storm.—We have again been visited with a very severe snow storm,accom pa- nied with a strong wind. It commenced on Thurs- day night,about 11 o’clock,and continued through the night, and the greater part of yesterday, leaving | snow on the ground of an average depth of eighteen inches. Early yesterday morning the wind blew quite strong trom the northwest, but it lulled som e- what during the forenoon, when the snow ceased, and there was a heavy fall of rain. After raining a few hours, the snow again came down as merrily asever, and continued tillthe afternoon, when it cleared off, and the sun shone out brightly for an hour or two. We are much afraid that serious damage has been done to the vessels that were driven on shore in the last gale, , and that other vessels may have unfortunately suf- fered in addition. Ocean Steam Suirs.—We are happy to find that the Government of the United States have en- tered into acontraet with an enterprising company in this city, for the construction of a number of steam-ships, to ply between this city and Cowes, in England,and Bremen or Havre. The company are to send a vessel twice each month for those ports, and to carry the United State@mail, for which the pro- Prietors are to receive $300,000 per year. The go- vernment has entered into asimilar contract with Mr. Charles Morgan, of this city, tor the construc- tion of aline of steam-ships, to rur from New Or- leans to Galveston, in Texds, and hkewise to carry the mail, for which Mr. Morgan will receive two thirds of the net postage. All these vessels are to be built in the most substantial manner, with view of being converted into vessels of war, in case of an emergency ; and in such event, they are to be at the disposal of the government. We need hardly say that this is a most important step on the part of the goverament, and one that will give gen- eral satisfaction. The probability now is, that be tore two years, there will be afloat a clase of ocean steamers, that for speed, comfort, and symetry of model, will reflect the hi q pans ghost credit on the Ameri Packer Smr Yorxsaee.—T; Capt. Bailey, has again made a the Atlante. She sailed from New York on the 18th January, and was reported in Liverpool, at 10 o'clock, A.M., on the 2d February, making the «sage in less than fifteen days.

News—To the Public As ® public journalist, we have been before the American public a little over ten years; during which time, our incessant ambition has been to lay before our readers, at the earliest moment pos- sible, the latest news from all parts of the world. At the time the New York Herald was establish- ed, journalism in the United States was, in the sphere of usefulness and enterprise, very much be- | low mediocrity, and, in our opinion, much hehind the age. We thought that there was a fair opening for talent and enterprise, and that a paper conducted in accordance with the march of improvement, and the progressive intellect of the age, would be sup- ported by the American people, and the motives of the editor properly appreciated. With feelings like these, did we start the publication of the Herald; and such feelings have been our guide and our consola- tion trom the first day it was issued until the pre- sent hour. We were aware that a task worthy of | they communicate much interest. Of the “Orange Girl | Hercules himself, was before us—that the combined strength of the old regime of journalism was op- posed to us—that we should give an impulse to journalism hitherto unknown on this side of the | Atlantic, and incur the enmity and hostility of those who, like the journals they edited, were far behind the age in which they lived. Nor have our predictions been falsified in the least. That enmity and opposition which we foresaw at the commence- ment of our enterprise, greeted us on the first issue ot the Herald, and has been continued ever since, | with a spirit of malignity and bitterness worthy only of the evil source from which it sprung. Un- | der such circumstances did we establish this journal, and under such circumstances has it continued to the present time. Our conduct, from the first issue of our paper | until the present time, is familiar to the public; and | we know it is properly appreciated. We knew that the reward of our enterprise and perseverance would be meted out tous; and that, notwithstanding the many discouragements we should meet in our progress, the end at which we aimed would be finally reached, if perseverance and unconquer- able energy were ofany avail. Whether we have displayed this spirit or not, our subscription list will be the criterion. Persevering in the course we maiked out for ourselves, and having but one ob- ject in view, viz.: of being at the head of journal- ism in America—we have, necessarily, encountered and triumphed over the opposition of all our oppo- nents, and are now at the pinnacle of our ambition. Indeed, we have already exceeded our most san- guine hopes. Our readers are familiar with the opposition we have encountered in obtaining the European news, and sending it to them in advance of all other jour- nals. They are aware of the disreputable manner in which our motives have been blazoned to the world. On every occasion that we forwarded fo- reign news to our subscribers and exchanges, in advance of our contemporaries, the lazy stock- jobbing press of Wall street. and our sister cities, have accused us of the blackest and deepest crimes. Our enterprise has been termed infamy.— But to us this mattered but little. We had an ob- ject in view, and although we knew we should tread on the corns of our contemporaries,we had courage to disregard their murmurings, and continued that course which we marked out at the commencement. It is needless to say that we have succeeded; for it is a part of the history of the country. This enmity on the part of our opponents has, until lately, been confined to mere wind, but within a short tume, the disaffected portion of the American press, or in other words, that portion of the press whose patron- age we have, by our superior management and en- terprise, trenched upon, have formed a combination or “Holy Alliance” against us, with the expectation, by one grand effort, to demolish and annihilate the iepuration which we have been for a series of years so assiduous to earn. For this purpose the stock- jobbing press of three cities combined, and vy vine otf a great outlay of money, and appropriating a portion of our tactics, formed a conspiracy, in connection with their friend, the devil, to break up the reputation for enterprise which we have honest- ly earned, triumph for a while on our demolition, and then relapse into their accustomed state of im- becility and indolence. With this view, the Holy Alhance of the stock- jobbing prees was formed, and their debut was an. nouaced in all their journals, with the most extrava- gant anticipations of victory—a victory that would consign us to the tomb of the Capulets. Having, on a former occasion, tested their ability, and finding that, in the face of their most strenuous exertions, we would have distanced them, if casualties beyond the reach of human foresight had not intervened, they deliberated for a length of time upon the prac- ticability of forming a combination of their means and energy, which would forever deprive us of our reputation. They accordingly concocted a scheme by which they imagined they would distance us for- ever in obtaining the news that was expected by the steamship Cambria. In order to obtain this news, and beat Uncle Sam and the “damned Herald,” as they call it, they made such arrangements as they were capable of, in order to board the ship at Halifax, N.S., and convey the news by “exclusive and extraordinary express” to New York,in advance of every thing. How far they succeeded, the public already know. In fact, our extra of Thursday told the story. In the tace of those tremendous and combined efforts of our opponents, we relaxed none of our usual vigilance, but made our arrangements as usual, and succeeded in beating the Holy Alliance, from four to six hours. The news thus exclusively re- ceived by us, was despatched to Philadelphia by a special express for the United States Gazette, and published in an extra from that office at an early | hour on Thursday afternoon. We issued an extra at noor that day, and thus the merchants of these two great cities, and, indeed, those of the whole south were saved from being imposed upon by spe- culators. We are not inclined to make any unnecessary parade of our triumph, but merely claim the benetit of our success. We will continue to make such ar- rangements in future as will place the foreign news before our readers at the earliest moment. Ifwebe successful, so much the better; it we should be dis- tanced, it cannot be helped. That's all. Tas Heratp have received by the steamship Cambria, several highly interesting letters from our correspondents in Liverpool, London, Leipsic, Paris, Vienna, Ber- lin, &e. &e., which we will place before our readers as early as possible. ee Twe Crerey ano Po.rrics.—We have heard it intimated that the clergy of this city have it in con templation to call meetings for the purpose of expres ing their opinion’on the late refusal of our govern- ment to submit the Oregon question to arbitration We cannot suppose that the clergy really intend to do any thing of the kind; for if they do, it will be following a precedent which was condemned by the united voice of the people afew years since. The clergy have nothing to do with politics, and should not interfere with them in any manner. If the clergy would confine themselves to their legitima business—the saving of souls—and exert themselves alittle more than they do, there would be leas immo- rality in the Country than there is. We can assure them that the gouernment is competent to manage its own affairs without their interfernce —___ McKim arrived at New Or- prog Galveston, whence, she sailed on the 7th inst. lates from ©: reseot the health of the army as ence aoeh “vary ew 8 recently. thi detasen Corpua Chiletiand Metegone eee ja, are aptly pro- Groecig ; #0 are the improvements in Corpus ¢ @ overland news from Coahuila and Reinosa confirms the report of the general acknow! yf th \ ment Sane pad howe pus Christi to the effect that Chihu ind some ad, ine States had declared their independence oes Court Cal jendar This Day.
