How majestically she sits upen the water, and how noble her appearance below t on, or from the truck to the deck, nothi seems want- ing in unity or detail to render her a fect picture. — How insignificant the finest merchant , with all her nestness of rig, and endless variety of fancy work, would look at anchor, in the same view with the Inde- pendence. The reason is this—the latter is sparred and rigged in proportion to her hull, which is not the case with one merchant ship ina hundred. Success to the Independence, and the gallant souls on board.

Viewed bow or broadside | The Mexican Mission. Puraverruta, August 28, 1846. i.Sim:—By giving the following a place in your valuable paper, you will much oblige a subscri- ber:— Extract from a letter from our very worthy con- sul F. M. Dimond, laiely at Vera Cruz, to a friend in New York :— _ What do yeu think of the new olive branch just sent to Mexico? I hope there will be wis- dom enough found in the councils of that self- abused government to receive it in the same kind ap with which it has been sent, but I fear it will be rejected ; if so, depend uponit, the war will be carried into Africa. I hope for the sake of humanity and the cause kualomn on this side of the waters, Mexico will agree to receive a minister, and if the door of reconciliation is again opened, (notwithstanding what has been said by some of the New York papers,) I trust the Hon. John Slidell will assume his mission. IT have had an opportunity, and surely a good one, to know how that gentleman was received, how esteemed while in Mexico, and with reluctance they saw him leave the city of Mexico, and at last embark frem Vera Craz. Such being my opinion of Mr. Slidell, [cannot but hope he will be the man to settle all the pending difficulties, for I feel confi- dent whatever be does will be for the honor and happiness of both nations. His situation in life is such, that he can act out his true character, an independent man. Ihave not had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Slidell since my return.from Vera Cruz, consequently know nothing of his views on the subject of the mission.” : By giving publicity to the above, altliéugh with- out the knowledge of Mr. Dimond, (but as I have I grr several years in Mexico and at the time of r. Slidell’s visit was there, I think they are cor rect sentiments to be made public, and prefer your valuable paper for this purpose,) you will oblige, Yours, A Susscriner. Mexican Privateers. (From the New Orleans Delta, August 21.) We see it stated in La Patria of yesterday, that Don Francisco Ar Mexican consul at Havana, has written to the acting ‘consul of this city, ordering letters of marque to be issued here. We have since learned through a person) late from Havana, that by the packet ship which was to leave for New York on the same. day that the P. Soule left for this port, similar orders from the Mexican government had been forwarded to Don Ju- an de la Granja, Consul General in New York. Our contemporary says he hopes that the government of Lou- isiana will beon the gui vive in order to prevent the armiag of privateers here. Of thi think there need be but little apprehensions. There are two powerful causes to prevent it. The first is, that w. jeve there is not an American citizen in New Orleans would be found so recreant to his duty to his country as to coun- tenance, aid or assist in such anenterprize; and the next is, all knowing the likelihood of being arrested, and if arrested, the terrible penalty of the crime, that nono will have the temerity to embark in the undertaking. When we hear of the capture of any one of the most unprotected merchant vessels in the Gulf, we will begin to believe there are privateers afloat, not before. Fresh Opinions from Canada on the Mexican War. [From the Montreal Herald, Aug. 25] The United States papers, received yesterday, contain little of interest, beyond the accounts, which we give be- low, of the state of in Mexico. What with invasion from without, and discontent and threatened civil war within, the Dons would appear to have their hands pretty full. Mexico affords a striking example of the folly of tempting to apply the principles of self-government to country in which the great mass of the population is steeped in ignorance and superstition. Great and manifold as ore the evils eonfessedly attendant upon the exercise ofarbitrary and irresponsible power, they are immea- surably less destructive to the social happiness and pros- perity ofa country, than those arising from the practi- cal absence of all government, when each individual or faction do that which appeareth good in his, or their eyes, without any reference to the general welfare. ii norance and superstition retain men, women and chil- dren in knowledge and mtellect, and, like children, their happiness can only be secured by blind obedience to those whom Providence has placed over them. Free- dom of action, and release from parental control, might, with as much safety, be bestowed upon the children of Great Britain and the United States, as a republican, or even a representative form of government upon such people as the Mexicans—they have not the intellect, nor the information, upon which, alone, self-government can be maintained ; and the foundation being shifting sands, although the State edifice may, during temporary calms, be built and re-built, it is only that it may be crushed and destroyed by’ cach recurring tem; volution follows revolution, faction succeeds faction, mes a chronic form, which, although 3 patient, keeps him ina lingering, w: condition, in which he is only relieved from suffei by insensibility. Such has been the condition of Mex: co,as a Republic, and such it will continue to be, until trong, firm hand grasps and retains the supreme au- ity and governs the people—asCromwell did the Com- monwealth of England, or as, in our own times, Louis Philippe has done in France. We cannot go the length of Carlyle, in his Hero-worship, but all history proves mark.nd owe their civilization, and nations their rela- tive power, happiness and prosperity, to the intellect and virtue of great and good —their instructors, their leaders and their rulers—and not to the aggregate ex- ertions of the community. No doubt, as civilization and knowledge become general in a nation, the instructive, the guiding, and the governing powers are extended from individuals to classes; and despotism, however be- neficially used, yields before a lt ee Cronies from without”—but this pressure must be based upon intellect and knowledge, not upon mere numbers and brute strength, otherwise the very principle of even the most despotic government—protection to life and property— is destroyed; anarchy, inevitably, ensues, and s0- ciety is resolved into its original elements, when might assumes the place of right, and— ‘The ancient rule, the good old plan, ‘That he should take, who has the power, And he should keep, who can— is universally acted ig erred! war—leader against leader, faction against faction—is the invariable conse- quence ; and until some hero, of the Carlyle stamp, rises ee , over the contending combatants, binds them, governs them, peace and tranquilit, unknown, saving as the result of exhaustion. ‘That 8 or Santa ‘Anna are competent to play the partin Mexico which Cromwell did in England, and which Louis Philippe now sustains in Fiance, we greatly doubt; but that Mexico can flourish, or even exist, much longer, as an indepen- dent republic, we cannot believe possible. —re- and not Strate Constitutional, ConveNTION.—: rf 28. —Mr. Gebhard presented the petition of Olney Briggs for she abolition of religious books and eeremo- nies in the schools and academies; the abolition of Sun- day law; to prohibit the passage of laws“ predicated upon the dogmas of the Bible,” and to declare void any will containing bequests for charitable purposes—laid on the table 74to 19.

The Political Aspect of England—The Sugar Ques- tion—Sir Robert Peel—The Slave Question—The Harvests—The Atlantic Mail Service—Theatri- cals—The Death of the Millionaire, §c., §c., Sc. Until it was known what course the opposition would take with respect te the sugar question, the stability of the Russell ministry was very doubtful, its continuance in power was deemed to be very uncertain, and a general want of confi- dence prevailed which had a sensible effect upon the money market and all the great commercial transactions. This is not to be wondered at, for there is no doubt if the opposition had rallied all its forces, they would have been able to defeat the Ministry, which has no great party to support’ it. There were some strong reasons, however, for not wishing to defeat them, and therefore it was determined by all the lea- ders and influential members of the opposition to let them alone until the present parliament ex- pires, for its “seven ee. will soon be comple- ted, when there willbe a general election for a new parliament. The chief reason was the diffi- culties in the way of forming a new government, which at the present moment ,would have been insurmountable; the next reascn was the near ap- proach of a septennial general election, and the enormous expenses of a dissolution now, which would all be thrown away by the natural dissolu- tion of the parliament, in, comparatively a short time. So the Russell ministry stands by suffer- ance, the ‘‘caucus” having so decided it—for the secret conclave and deliberations of the heads of parties here, isin fact a caucus. There is this ditference: the English caucus meets sub rosa, os- tensibly on some other pretence, at a dinner par- ty &c., whereas the Americans do not conceal the fact, both that they act in concert and that they meet without concealment of their purpose, to concert their action. The straightforward, open course of the American plan, appears to me better than the hypocrisy of the English system, and yet the English have indulged themselves in some severe animadversions upon the caucus, as if they were quite innocent of all party man- agement. Apropos of hypocrisy. Where can there be greater than that which this sugar question ex- nibits? While England is notoriously flooded with merchandise and raw,material, raised by the la- bor of slaves; while she imports immense quanti- ties of slave grown sugar for the refineries, which is afterwards exported, when refined, the chief, indeed the only argument in the question was, that it would be an encouragement to slavery to admit slave-grown sugar atthe same duty as free labor sugar. Itis well, however, that the opposi- tion have determined not to go into agitation upon the slavery question, and therefore, Lord J Russell’s scale of equalization will go into opera- tion without further opposition, except a few ran- dom broadsides, for appearance sake, as the bill pipgresne The question was virtually settled on Wednesday last, (July 29,) by a majority of one hundred and thirty in favor of the ministry. Lord Brougham the day before, on the occasion of presenting a petition from the famous and now aged Clarkson, President of the Anti-Slavery So- ciety, took the opportunity of making along flam- ing speech against slavery and the slave trade, by way of argument for a special protecting dut: upon sugar grown in the English West India Is[- lands. He was followed by Lord Lansdowne, the ministerial leader in the House of Lords, who, in the course of his speech took the opportunity of showing the bad feeling os the new Ministry towards America, by a violent fling against all the Southern States of the Union. As minister of one nation in relation with another and friendly na- tion, he did not evince much tact by retailing such old and vulgar abuse. 2 In the House of Commons next night, the debate was opened by Lord G. Bentinck on the opposi- tion side ; but the most curious speech on the oc- casion was that of the éx-Premier, Sir Robert Peel, who came to the aid of the ministry, de- clared his opinion that the measure would pro- mote and increase slavery in Cuba and the Bra- zils ; that it was not sucha measure he would have brought forward had he been in power, and, after all, that he would support the measure tor the sake of keeping Lord J. Russell in power,and because of the difficulty or impossibility of form- ing @ new government. i for these three different phases assumed by Sir Robert, the Times, in a witty article, says that Sir Robert is “like Cerberus, he is three gentlemen at once ;” “he has a face for all.” He throws a sop to the protectionists, by saying he would not have proposed this measure ; he conciliates the “pious” and abolitionist party by denouncing slavery ; and he comes to the aid of Lord J. Rus- sell by voting for the measure. After all, the measure is safe ; the agitation of the slavery question is abandoned, and the Min- istry is sale. Had it been, however, the begin- ning instead of the fag end of the seven years’ par- liament, the Russell ministry would (not have stood many days. The ‘ Evangelical” party rules terribly in England, which may be called the party of tbe Scribes and Pharisees ; and had the question of slavery been earnestly agitated, there is scarcely a doubt to be entertained of their ultimate success, Methinks you will paras, sf question, why should a powerful opposition, sure of success against an heterogeneous, mixed and feeble ministry, so easily throw aside all its ad- vantages, give up an agitatioa which would have effected their object, and suffer their opponents to stand, when they might easily have driven them from their post? ‘The answer is plainly this. The protectionists, or country party as Say are called, were placed in a singular dilem- ma. They hate the present mongrel whi, ministry—but they hate Sir Robert Peel and the free trade icy. Now, if they ousted Lord J. Russell, Sir Robert Peel would come in in. But they have just now turned out this self same Peel; and shall they turn round and by defeating the ministry, help to bring him in again? This was indeed a dilemma! hat was tobe done? Precisely what they have done. vix: make a sham attack and opposition, and then retreat without intending to put to route the enemy. This is the whole secret of the continu- ance of the Russell ‘ministry in power. The af- fair is interesting and curious as connected with the history ‘of political party; it is also not unimpor- tant in an American view of the matter, enough put the because our relations with England are so powerfully affected by the action of arties and the revolutions of ministries in England. In America the people rule, and the predominant popular feeling and sentiment is that which guides the policy of the country. But in England itis A. B. or C. D.; it is certain indi- viduals who guide the policy of the government, and hence the views of mere individuals and their particular sentiments are politically and diploma- tically of more importance in the consideration of American politicians then the feelings or senti- ments of the nation itself. Harvest is just got in. There never has been a better harvest or a finer season in the memory of the oldest man. Wheat at present fetches only 4s. 6d. a bushel throughout the country. This low price, (for it has not been so low before in some ten years) may be partly owing to the quantity thrown into market by the middle class of farmers, who are in haste to get cash for their heavy expenses at this busy ume. American flour averages, up to date hereof, from 24 to 26s. a barrel, and the importations, both from the United States and Canada, do not appear to relax. All accounts from Ireland concur in representing the tato crop as ruined and almost hopeless. Great Feaze are entertained in England; some sorts have got the rot, decidedly, but it is too soon as yetto be able to say how the crop will turn ovt. The new potatoes are in excellent condition. In the House of Commons, on Friday last, a motion was made by Mr. P. Miles for a Parlia- mentary committee of enquiry into the subject of the American steam packets. The facts of the case appear to be briefly stated as follows :—Atier the Great Western Steam Company had practi- eye the advantages and facilities of steam packets between England and America—alter they had successfully ran and carried both pas ite and mails, the government (certainly with a liberality of policy and action well worthy of imitation,) determined to avail itself of this great improvement of modern art, and accordingly ad- vertised for tenders to carry the transatlantic inails by steam. ‘This was in 1883. Only two bids were made by the Great Western Steam Company anc by the St. George’s Company. Neither of them ‘were accepted, and the contract was given by he r Cunard, a British subject, well known at the Pe nial office. Mr, Cunard has certainly execute: his contract well, to the satisfaction of all parties and to the great credit of himself; but it is mani- fest that with steamboats which are paid £40,000 sterling each trip,there can be no competition and their tendency is, of course, to drive all others off district, comprising | aid from government the line, which have the same expenses, and no : " It would be a deplorable for all parties, on both eat Western Steam Company should aban- don the enterprise ; there is, however some ap- prehension of it. The object of the enquiry is to ascertain the secretcauses why the Great Western has been excluded from a share of the patron: | for which it Bid, and which it so well deserved, while the contract was given to one who never bid at all, and to endeavor to save the company | from breaking up, by extending a share of the overnment patronage to it. The committee will e raised without epposition, on which under- derstanding, Mr. Miles withdrew his motion, and it is probable something will be done to equalise the patronage in the shape of a new contract with them, independent of, and along side that with Cunard, While on this subject, it may be worth the while, as a matter of curiosity, to relate a curious fact which goes to prove the singular ignorance upon matters connected with America, which prevails here in the highest circles and among the best informed. Would any one believe it? Sir Robert Peel did not know that the steam packets sailed from Boston to Halifax, and from thence to Liverpool ; but he thought they sailed direct from New York to Liverpool. This came out on the occasion of a deputation from the merchants of Bristol, who had an interview with him in rela- tion to the Great Western, the day before he gave up the office as Prime Minister. On that occasion he expressed his astonishment and declared he had always thought that the Cunard steamers sail- ed direct between New York and Liverpool.— Cunard, however, has succeeded in getting the new contract for the fortnightly packets ; the de- putation came too late. The Great Western has reduced passage and freight one-quarter what it was before by steam; it cannot stand against a competition which has all sopannes paid, for its receipts immediately fell off fifty per cent by the government opposition, and if it should at last be driven off ci the public would suffer by be- ing at the mercy ofa monopolist. It is to be hoped the United States government will move in this matter. The submarine magnetic telegraph has attain- ed such perfection, and the difficulties against its extension have been so successfully overcome by the improvements practised, that it may not be improbable that in the course of ten or twelve epee an American merchant at New York will e able to communicate with his agent in Lon don in the morning, and receive a reply in the evening before sittingdown to supper. The Napo- leon of the Press has been here surring them up a bit, so that now you need not wonder at such # vast prospect opening before you. he theatres are rather dull at this moment; the wealthy of all classes, who can leave London, are hastening into the country.
