Their coming, then, increases the strength of the United States, and once established inthat nation, ey seek lands to cultivete, and will take — of Mexico, if they that this country in milk and honey, and if they believe that yroan easily introduce themselves into it under the prot of the government of the United States, for that of Mexico has redoubled the restrictions and trammels impede their entrance. This new population identify their lot and existence with the lot and existence of new country , for their personal interest and that of those in it. This will ae more frequently now that Mexico is invaded by the United States, and is in open war with their government. Hence it follows that Mexico will have to cattend not only witl ie native Anglo-American population, but with adopted citizens, or what is the same t with a part of the population of Europe ; anda proof of this has en furnished us in the sort of people who compose General Taylor’s army, the greater part of them being Europeans! that, generally speaking, the sympathies of the people of Europe are not in our favor, bi at in faver of States, even although they are aware of the injustice of the latter in usurping our territory, for there are times when public opinion cares little abeut the means by whieh a thing is done, or a project executed, and looks only at thetresults which spring from it. Mexico not only lacks the sympathies of Europe, but ia almost hated ; and this results from various causes and circumstances in which we ourselves have had no small share; and however grievous the confession may be to us, itis necessary to make it. Almost all the publi tions of the European press indicate the ill-will which. exists towards us, and the works written by travelleré who have visited us, with very few exceptions have contributed to increase this tendency against us. And if it be certain that no people hate another without a suf- ficient cause or motive, it is necessary for us to inquire into the cause of this ill disposition, since it must exist. It cannot be found in a rivalry of power in war, com- merce, or industry, because we have never been in a po- sition sufficiently edvantageons to provoke the of other natious. We must, then, seek cat In our opi: a we is the Sarin a w ve pract |, since our lependence, against for commerce, against emigrants, and against the ental ent of foreigners in our country. When the people of Europe perceive that we impose restrictions on the entrance of foreigners; that we do not permit them to acquire landed property ; that we do not wish to tolerate the exercise of their mode of worship ;that we shut the door to their acquisition of the rights of citizenship; that we prohibit the introduction of their manufactures, &c. &c., it is impossible that they should take the slightest interest in our fate, for, after all, our national independence or the integrity of our ter- ritory, does not benefit them in any manner. And when they see thet the United States adopt a policy entirely nt, that they seek their interest in combination with the interests of other nations, it is natural that al’ their sympathies should be directed to that country, which has better comprehended the objects of fraterniiy among all the nations of the earth. Under these circum- stances, they perhaps even desiro that the United States should occupy Mexico, for they consider that in that event, our lands will be open not only to the citizens of the United States, but also to those of all other nations ; that all the riches of our soil will be explored, and bu- manity and civilization will thus gain more than by the possession of these resources by the Mexicans. It is necessary, therefore, if we desire that the people of Europe should feel any sympathy for us, and take any interest in our fate, that we should endeavor wholly to reform ourselves, for the fault has been great ; and we can accom; it only by completely changing our po- Hicy, and adopting another, more frank and literal than eretofore. The governmentsof Europe will entertain sympathies in favor of Mexico, for it does not compert ‘vith their interests that the United States should be eggrandized.— They know that the experiment which that nation has made of a democratic federative republic has great st- tractions for the ple whom pe Kvipeens om acceunt of its happy results; and that ifit should extend through North America, it will pass to South America, and, course of time, even to the continent of Lurope, and realizo, perhaps, the idea of Chateaubriand, that a re- public will be the future condition of the world; that then thrones would totter under the impulses of democ- racy, and dynasties would be extinguished oy the abo- lition of the principle of inheritance of power. gs perceive, moreover, that the forms of government and social organization’ of the United States are drawing away the population of Europe; that the emigration from Europe increases every day ; that the debility caused by depopulation. may ‘reach a fearful point ; und that, in fine, the Angl6-American nation will clothe and deck herself with the spoils of Europe, as has heretofore been the case. Tt is natural, therefere, that the Tuvttsies of kings the United States, for, in fact, it is no more than having sympathies in Mexico ought promptly to avail herself of this dispo- worve hereelt to cultivate the sympathies of proceed pection, and not seek assistance on onerous Nevertheless, we do not calculate inany case upon being protected by force of arms ; for the commercial interests of Europe with the United States are of too much importance to be sacrificed by kings in a war, when they could ce expect to be compensated by any concessions from Mexico on the re-establishment of peace ; and consequently we ought not to expect any thing more than the aid of diplomacy, which, however, ismuch ; foralthough physical force does not make part of, moral force does, and thet, in these enlightened times, has become powerful. We have seen, in the discrssions in the French Cham- bers, the difference between the opinions of the govern- nts and people of Europe.

The Diario de la Marina, of Havana, states that the steamers Montezuma and Guadaloupe, which lately be- longed to the Mexican government, had been purchased by the commander in chief of the naval post ot Havana for the Spanish service, and now form a part of that navy. (From the New Orleans Picayune, Aug. 22} By our correspondents at Pensacola, we learn that the steam frigate Mississippi, Capt. Fitzhugh, arrived at that port on Wednesday, the 19th inst. She left the squadron off Vera Cruz on the 13th instant, and made the run to Pensacola infour days and a half. By this arrival the news which we recently received from Vera Cruz Havana, is fully confirmed. All the troops in the Castle, the city and the neighborhood of the city, have declared for Santa Anna.

The time has arrived when, generally, the snowy staple is ina fit condition for picking.The season so far,(from.the day of plant- ing,) has proved peculiarly unpropitious; a bleak, raw spring—rainy summer, and worse than all every appearance of continued rains during the picking season ; add to this the disastrous of the caterpillar, which, from accounts from the ‘Lrinity, Brassos and Colorado, have committed fearful ravages, and, at this ‘still continuing their fell work, with the prospect now, not more than a third (if that) of the expect- ‘ed crop will be saved. — Accounts from Mexico are anything but con- reparations being on foot to meet other point, on a scale at all commensurate with the force Gen.

The principal subject of discussion was the | throwing open of the St. Lawrence to the vessels of every | nation. Mr. Gamble went the full figure for repudiation, | for which he was taken to task by the Vice-President, Mr. W. Workman, who very properly denounced the unworthy idea. We are not able to give a report of the ee dil ‘but we believe that the question ef throw- open St. Lawrence to all nations was favorably entertained. It will require a strong expression ef pub- lic opinion from this country, to gain the favorable 2 tion of the home government to this subject. We findan allusion by Lord John Ruasell, in his speech in the Bri- tish Parliament on the 17th of July, that does not augur very well for the consummation of the reasonable preject of rendering the navigation of the St. Lawrence to all nations. He seid— propose to empower her Majesty to give her assent to any law or bill passed by the colonies, which would take away discriminating duties on foreign produce. I do not propose that her majesty should give her assent to any alteration in the navigation laws which now exist.” It is probable that Lord John intended this to refer to the Navigation Laws as a whole, pare course, isa very different question from the re much of them as relates to the navigation of the Lawrence only; and which the’ people of Canada, under present clroumstances, certainly have a ht to expect. The Ministry will, no doubt, be prepared to pay @ proper re- spect to the public opinion of Canada on this question, on which there is an almost perfect unanimity. cessary, in order to that Opinion having its due effect, that it’should be made known tothe home government. If Canada speak with one voice, and ifshe only ask what in justice she can claim, it will require a bold minister to reject her petition. We confess that we do not expect such paiennd to proceed from the whig ministry. ‘The Governor-General in Council has appointed the following ports of entry to be ports for the forwarding of foreign wheat for exportation, under the provisions of the Act 9th Victoria, Chap. 1, viz Head, Cobourg, Amherstburg, Stanley, and Ho} The Toronto Board of Trade has petitioned Queen for relief from the eperations of the laws Tequiring the carrying trade of natn to and from Bi possessions, to be performed in British ships.

Monrrgat, Aug 17, 1846. The Departure from Niagara—Navigation of the St. Lawrence Rapids—Arrival at Montreal— Description of the City—The Cathedral— Orphan Asylum—Races, §c. I left Niagara Falls on the morning of the 14th instant, and found waiting us at Lewistown the splendid steamer Rochester. At about 4 P.M. we got under way with a fair complement of passengers ; we were all struck with admiration on approaching Fort Erie, where there opened to our view the beautiful Lake Ontario, whose sur- face at the moment was as smooth as a mirror, with here and there a dot on its bosom—a vessel under easy sail. Wetouched at Rochester, Os- Seg Harbor, and arrived at Ogdensburg at .y the 15th. Here we left the Rochester, hada comfortable night’s rest, and at 9A. M. 16th, embarked on board of the British steamer Express, which is hardly a third class boat with us.. Nothing can be more exciting, sublime, and nd, than the navigation of the St, Lawrence; its innumerable rapids,} beautiful Islands, and bold shores keeps the traveller in one constant state of agreeable excitement. Of these rapids the largest and most dangerous is that of ras, about twenty-five miles above this place; here the St. Lawrenec spreads out to a great width, form- ing a number of beautiful Is! ; between these nds in many places, the of the cur- rent is sogreat as to render na’ ble, even for the best steamers. a one ot the regular packets petty fiona: broke her rudder in geig the other day. Owing to tl the Captain, the engine was stopped, and the boat, side to the current, drifted hin safety, which, considering the number of ed pools, and boiling-pots, must be considered almost a miraculous escape. Ihave been informed that the Canadians are about petitioning the Crown, if not already done, for the free navigation of the St. Lawrence, T have just had a conversation with a person of re- spectable standing here, and he assured me in these very words, that if the navigation of the St. Lawrence be opened to all nations, all the duce of the great west will flow through it, we shall have Montreal soon filled with prising Americans.
