NEW YORK HERALD. ———S—S—S—S—SS=S= —= New York, Thursday, June 18, 18946, Foreign News. The Caledonia will probably reach Boston on or belore Sunday, wit five days later intelligence from Europe. It is expected that the news will be of considerable interest, and indicative of the spirit and feeling with which the English receive the accounts of the progress of the war on the Rio Grande, Congressional Proceedings—Our Foreign Relation After several ballotings in the Senate for a Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Rela- tions, to fill the of Mr ancy made by the resignation Hen, Senator M’Duffie, of South Carolina, was elected. A better selection could not have been made; and we hi: now some hope that our foreign aifairs will be speedily s d, and all the difficulties which we have so long experienced, speedily removed, No man in the Senate is more intimately acquainted with the business of the committee over which he has been appointed to preside, than Mr. McDuffie; and his views upon mia‘ters connected with our relations with forei » accordance hich he isa pr ninent member. Ring this vacaucy, from sending in the delay ex; teneed ia has prevented the P. Oregon Treaty; bur we have no doubt that im- portant document will be ratitied before the Senate adjourns to-day, as it has been signed by the parties represent'ng the two governments, and will, without doubt, be disposed of at once by a larger majority than that given upon the prelimi- nary proceedings. As soon as this Oregon matter is settled, we may expect immediate action upon the Independ- ent Treasury and Warehousing bills, which are already under consideration, and have only been laid aside for the moment, to finally arrange the long standing difficulties with Great Britain, growing out of the North West territory in dis- pute. We publish, to-day, several important docu- ments from the heads of the principal depart- ments at Washington, in relation to the tariff and the expenses of the Mexican war; with a message from the President, recommending a reduction of the tariff to a revenue standard. The Executive recommends imposing duties upon certain arti- | cles, now on the free list, to be removed at the expiration of the war; an issue of Treasury notes, and, if necessary, a direct loan. The esti- mates of the Secretary of War, and the Quarter Master General, in relation to the expenses of the war, must astonish many; and it is our impres- sion that if hostilities are protracted to the sum- mer of 1847, that these estimates will fall far short of the real outlay. It would not be unsafe to double the estimate of the War Department. We have a very poor opinion of the financial genius concentrated at Washington, and believe that their calculations will tend to confirm this impression, rather than remove it. @uar Standing Army—European American Strength, In many parts of Europe, and particularly in England, the most erroneous ideas prevail in rela- tion to the military strength of this country. An opinion is prevalent that our standing army being so small, for the first two or three years of a war with any powerful nation, we should suffer defeat after defeat; and that consequently it would be madness for us to engage in way, at least with Ideas of any strong European power. The events of the last two months have shown conclusively that this opinion is, in fact, founded in ignorance of our real strength and resources, and that the first speck of war on our horizon is sufficient to call forth into full play all the latent energies of the American people This erroneous impression aris s from the fact that our standing army does not amount to over 8,000 men. The people of Europe are not aware that this foree forms but the nucleus of an army of citizen soldiers, that can be numbered by the million; and how much soever we may regret the occasion of the Mexican war, yet it may be con- sidered as not altogether unfortunate, as indica- ting whata force the United States can bring into the field at so short a notice. When the requisition for troops was first made upon the Governor of Louisiana, it was imagined that it would be necessary to resort to a draft to procure the required number. At that time the people of Loui did not believe the existence of war with the Mexicans. They had such a‘contemptous opinion of their army, that they thought the handful of men in General Taylor’s camp amply sufficient to main- tain the occupation of the Rio Grande, as they had no expectation that the Mexicans would niicmpt offensive measures. But no sooner was it known t,at it was no st would have ao opportunity of meeting the enemy, than thousands volunteered their services, not only in Lousiana, but al! over the country. The number required by the President from the several States is fifty thonsand, and more than double that number, accerding to the best caleula- tion, have already volunteered. Jn Louisiana nearly a thousand mounted gun- men, who had volunteered, have been disbanded, as there is no need of their services. The State has already sent six regiments to the seat of war, and those two regiments were mustered in two weeks, In Alabama several companies more than were necessary volunteered their services, and the order to remain at home caused a great deal of disappointment among them. That State will probably have sent between two and three thou- sand men to the seat of war. In Mississippi more volunteer companies have been raised than can be mustered into service. It will probably send two thousand men to the field. In Tennessee double as many men have volun- teered as were required to fill up*the quota de- manded of the State. In one division of the State thirteen companies tendered their services when only three were wanted, and the choice had to be made by ballot; those who were so fortunate as to be chosen receiving the announcement with shouts of joy. In Kentucky the two regiments required by the government, were filled up by the 26th of May, and the Governor was obliged to issue his procla- mation to put a stop to the volunteering. The greatest disappointment prevails among those who were not mustered into service. Ten thou- sand men could have been mustered in Kentucky in a few days, if necessary, of troops that are not surpassed by any in the world. In Missouri the complement called for was ia progress of formation, the only difficulty being to choose from the numbers offering themselves. One thousand mounted men were required fora descent on Santa Fe, and by the last accounts, there was more than half that number mustered. This is the spirit that prevails over the entire Western country. Several members of Congress have left the seat of government and started for the West, to enrol men and proceed to Mexico. Ohio, the greatest abolition State in the Union, was the first to fili up the complement called for by the President, and the same spirit prevails ainong the New England States, that were most violently opposed to the annexation of Texas. New York and all the Atlantic States are pouring out thousands and tens of thousands, and there are many companies that will not be restrained from going to the scene of action, whether their services are accepted by government or not These volunteers are fitted to make excellent soldiers, They are well drilled and disciplined, jana in nd they have, that will make them as efficient troops as any in the world. When men in flourishing business, upon the first indication that their services are needed by their country, Sell out their stock, equip them- selves for a campaign, and enlist as common soldiers, as has happened in many instances,they must be actuated by some motives stronger than the desire to appear in regimentals. Such men, fighting for their country, are worth hundreds of mercenary troops. The citizens of foreign birth have not been at all inferior in ardor and patriotism to the natives of the soil. In Ohio there is an entire regiment of Germans, numbering about 900 men, and in | every Siate in the Union, the Irish and German companies are among the first to offer their ser- vices. There is no doubt as to the efficiency of these foreign companies. Their national pride, as well as their devotion to their adopted country, will make them signalize themselves in the field, and indeed they have always done so. From present appearances, if the muster were t@ continue, we could,in six months,bring into the field an available force of 750,000 men, and of ,; Such troops, as for valor, discipline, and endu- rance, will compare with any in the world. This is an army greater than ever Eastern monarchs brought into the field, and one that could with- stand the combined armies of all Europe. This force could be increased from time to time to any extent. Such an army, actuated by feelings of patriotism, and the desire of glory, and withal brave and intelligent, would be such a sight as the world has never seen. But we trust the occasion that would call toge- ther such a force is far distant. The best policy of every country is peace, and we hope that the harmonious relations that now exist between this country and all the nations of Europe will long remain undisturbed. Indeed, there is every indi- | cation at present of a lasting peace; but we | deem it, nevertheless, well to show what the United States are capable of, should any occasion arise to call forth the latent energies of the nation. | Our present brush with Mexico is a slight indica- tion of what those energies are, when called into play. Tue Four Generats.—It is little more than,a | month since the commencement of the present war, yet in that short space of time, no less than | four of our Generals have succeeded in distinguish. | | ing themselves, One has suddenly emerged from comparative obscurity, to be hailed as the first | military leader in America. A second has suc- less glorious ; a third has rendered himself liable to blame from the government, although not from the people, by the precipitancy of his patriotism, which we are freeto say is of the purest character; and a fourth has simply been successful in obtain- ing for himself an unenviable notoriety. The first of these is General Taylor—the second, Scott—the third, Gaines—and the fourth, Worth. We would inquire, then, by what means have these four officers arrived at the respective posi- | tions they now occupy in the estimation of their countrymen? How have they accomplished it? | Simply thus. ‘The first by doing his duty—the | second by refusing to do his—the third by overdo- ing his—and the fourth bynot seeming to know that he had any duty to perform. Well! all this has perhaps turned out for the best. The four chieftains have received their re- spective rewards—the first, in the approbation— two of the others in the almost condemnation of their fellow-citizens, and the fourth, Gaines, in being ordered to Washington. But the campaign | | has been carried on successfully. General Tay- lor has in the most gallant manner extricated him- self from an exceedingly perilous position. He never cemplained of the danger to which he had been unnecessarily exposed both in front and rear —he never once thought of taking up the pen until he had first made trial of the sword, and in | Spite of the superiority of the force that opposed him, he bravely resolved to rescue his little army, or die in the attempt. We have seen the result,and it is a glorious one! It has covered his brow with laurels, and it is supposed that it now in the minds of many of his fellow citizens, to give him a mere substantial token of their approbation, than mere- ly to admire the laurels which he ha: gallantly won. In this age of vice and folly, let virtue have an ample reward. But what is to be the reward of Generals Scott, Gaines, and Worth? General Gaines has acted patriotically, but without orders, and Generals Scott and Worth have acted foolishly. What would the French Government have said, had Marshal Beaugaud refused to go to Algiers, | onthe plea that, by so doing, he might lose his chances of being appointed to the premiership of France? Or, what would the English have done, _ had Sir Hugh Gough declined serving in India on ia war, and that they | a similar frivolous pretext? Why, they would have court-martialled and dismissed him.— | We are not the mimics of either the Eng- lish or French governments, but in this they should be strictly imitated. It is to this sys- tem of obedience, from the highest officer to the private in the ranks, that they are indebted for the great success of their arms. It is, perhaps, enough for us, however, that we have a supreme public opinion. Generals Gaines, Scott, and Worth, are brave men; they were baptized on the field of battle.Generals Scott and Worth will never again aet as foolishly as they have done, and no one will ever think of passing a breath of censure on General Gaines; for his motives were too patriotic for that. With all, public opinion is the court-martial. Our Minister 1x Lonpox.—When the Ameri- can people, through the length and breadth of the country, are congratulating each other on the settlement of the Oregon question, and, with that, the settlement of the question of peace or war, we ought not to forget the man whose ser- vices aided materially in bringing about this for- tunate state of things. of all parties, and the chance of a war with Eng- land probable, our indefatigable minister to Lon- don, while suffering under severe bodily indispo- sition, was quietly at work, endeavoring to avert acalamity from his country, which would roll back the tide of prosperity, and make thousands of widows and orphans. To the well-timed ex- ertions of Mr. McLane is the country probably indebted for the early settlement of this question. We do not say thatthe question would nothave | been settled without his valuable aid; but it cer- tainly would not have been settled so soon as it has been. We learn that Mr. McLane is about to give up his mission in consequence of ill health. It is to be hoped that aman of the first character will take his place at the Court of St. James.

Ayotuer Dreaprut Fine in Quesec.—This is the third time, within the short space of one year, that it has been our duty to write an article under the above melancholy head. We received intel- ligence, yesterday, that on the 12th inst., this de- voted city was again scourged by the devouring element. It appears that the fire broke out in the Theatre Royal, in Lewis street, at the close of an | exhibition of chemical dioramas; caused, as is | supposed, from the upsetting ofa camphine lamp. | Immediately after the accident, the theatre was | enveloped in flames; and melancholy to relate, a | large number of lives were lost.

New Orleans papers to the 10th inst., have been received in this city, in which we find the follow- ing :— Ge Taylor’s son has left New Orleans for Matamoras, with his father’s Brevet commission of Major General. The lady of Capt. Page, who was so severely wounded at the battle of Palo Alto, arrived at New Orleans on the 9th, on her way to Point Isabel, to meet her husband.

If they do attempt it, look out for hard knocks. Although Com. Sloat’s squadron is somewhat diminished by the return of old Iron- sides to the United States, still he will, no doubt, when joined by Captain Stockton, give a good ac- count of himself.

We would advise holders of the bills of both this and the Canal Bank, not to submit to a very heavy discount on | them, as they will eventually be redeemed by the Comp troller, at a small per cent below their face. ‘The exportation of hemp from this country has not as yet been attended with any favorable results.

If this is a fair sample of the results of such operations, the time has not yet arrived for a suo” cessful transaction of the business. It is, however, no evidence that we shall not ultimately be able to export this staple production, profitably and extensively. We | are yet in the infancy’of its growth, and some of our most distinguished public men are extensively engaged in its production, and in making experiments for its im- provement. It is our impression that afew years will suffice to place the article far in advance of its present state, both as regards quality and quantity of production.

Thero appears to have been within the past year or two, a very great change in the sources of supply of foreign hemp imported into this pared with former years, while our supplies from Russia have since 1841 fellen offa very large per cent; and from other countries from which we received small lots, the importation has entirely ceased. The production of hemp in the United States for seve. ral years past is given in such shape, in the official re- turns of the Commissioner of Patents,that we can give no comparative statement showing the increase from year to year; and we are, therefore, compelled to leave the {mportant matter, in the absence of such date, as will give a correct idea of the business. Tho commissioner of patents’ report,of 1841, places the production of hemp, in the United States, at 95,251} tons; 1842, 188,569} tons; 5843, 161,007} tons, and 1846, at only 37,800 tons. Acco! to the report of 1845, only five States in the Union produced flax and hemp; while, ac cording to the report of 1843, every State and territory in the Union, except South Carolina, produced the arti- cle. We cannot account for this difference, except it be that these annual reports are no more entitled to confidence than any estimate from any source, and un Jess discrepancies like this are remedied, the ofleval ports will become a mere bagatelle. s,
