AT THR Mew York Herald Office. ————— American Affairs in England. {Frem the London Giobe, Sept. 15] If any confidence is to be placed in the pravalent ru- mor in the United States, that the administration of that country is favorable to the fpronunciamento which has pea by this time again placed Santa Anna, instead of Paredes, at the head of the disorderly Prwtorians of Mexico, it isa new and curious example of Franklin’s old recommendation to belligerent news! other's territories, if they wanted them, , ea than fighting forthem. The ancient Jugurtha, re; is Rome, woal: the wuggest the only doubt still cloggi: the Mexican Pretorians may , in the case supposed, aaa bony re found a purchaser. But it may be remem! President Polk asked Congress for 2,000,000 dollars for recret service money, and did not get them. There appears tobe more uncertain- ty how the federal government intend to raise the ten millions authorised for the avowed mode of carrying on the contest. Either Senta Anna and his myrmidons must be content with little for ‘‘stoifling” the war, or Pre- sident Polk must have u.known ways and means of sa- tisfying the rapacity said to distinguish the chief, whom 8 military revolution is now restoring. The garrison of Vera Craz first signed the resolutions for Santa Anna, and the peeple of Vera Cruz then ified them, who had, only, a few years prorinadis , aonerdin to acon- temporary correspondent from Philadelphia, dug up that general's buried leg, which had been shot off in battle, and kicked it about the gutters. Paredes, it is now re- ported, is deposed end papel, in Mexico ; and Santa Anna, we ma) Coedees this time has been smuggled le. ‘These two republics, in their mode of carrying on war and administration, remind us of the two Homeric he- roes, the one slackening pursuit, the other flight, ‘as in adream,” round the walls of Trey. Such a speedy re- course to the method of purchase—whether confirmed or not—illustrates, even asa rumor, the fact that the Ame- rican public are getting tired of the war. After the first burst of enthusiasm at the Bewery Theatre and else- where, it begins to be perceived that the ry is sha- dowy, the problematical, and nothing assured but the cost. Tocqueville has long ago predicted, that, if the Americans ever went to war, they would s001 then themselves as wily with debt and tax: European people ; and that their administrativ: not well 01 for economy, even in peaco—t ject aimed at being to multiply petty places and through all departments—would become expen: a war establishment,beyond all old-world precedent. Ano- ther consideration, which should juade the American people from warlike policy, is that war creates a hierar- chy of its own, apt to overtop all others. This isa dan- ger more especislly to be feared in the American com- monwealth, since eeopulas jealousy has prevented the growth of other ephemeral powers in the State, which might keep military power in check, or infuse in: to the army itsel irit accordant with thi mbodied in the orgonization. But popular jealousy has forbidden that any organised bodies should exist, beyond the Res er of annual or biennial popular suf. frage. A military power cannot be formidable, or re- spectable, under such conditions as those to which all other power is subjected in the United States. Even the mulitary school at West Point, afew years back, was thought too solid and permanent an establishment to be consistent with popular government. We infer that de- mocracy will be too strong to permit the efficient organ- ization of military force; or that military force, once or Grniseds may prove, in the end, too.strong for democracy. ry curious are the statements of the New York papers, eer as we think, of this point. For instance, the following :— “ Col. Stevenson’s regiment for California still remains at New York; preparations, however, are nearly com- plete for its departure, and it will probably leave within afew days. A large number of desertions have taken place, but they have mainly been of minors, and no diffi- culty will be had in supplying their places’ with better soldiers. A ts Pip eg ion has been manifested in va- rious quarters to the Commander, but it proceeds from interested and entirely unworthy sources, and excites little attention, and impairs not at all the efficiency of the ‘"Pheve Mepablicene are. playing. with edge: publicans are playing w: tools, and precisely the edge-tools which in all have abridged ‘the duration of republics. — sh (From the London News, Sept. 15.) ‘The int received from Mexico by the lest ar- rival from the United States is of a remarkable naturo.— Tho condition of affairs is hand we have the nominal President, Paredes, roused at last to action, and on hie way ,it is said, though rather cir- cuitously, to confront the invading army of General Taylor xt Sear: and, on the other, the ex-President, Sante Anda, embarked for the shores from whence he was so recently expelled, and welcomed before his arri- val By pronunciamentos at Vera Cruz, and in the capital \t is no matter for surprise that favor of the man whose military fame made him all-in-all with his countrymen, should have taken place; the coup, in fact, was long meditated, and rumor had for some time prepared us for the endeavor on the part of Santa Anna to regain the power which he exercised so Jong. But viewed in relation with the ostensible move- meats of Paredes, it presents an aspect of some singu- larity, though less singular in a country like Mexi than in most others; for there, the tendency to declare against their leaders is of more frequent de: Jopement than elsewhere.- A military President at head of an army of fifteen thousand men, might, under ordinary circumstances, be considered » formidable rival even to anéexperienced chief like Santa Anna; but when we somomber how rapid is the spread of the contagion of fection among troops constituted as the Mexicans ure, the solution of the problem is at hand. It is only too probable that the spirit of fraternisation will swiftly extend from the ion at Vera Cruz to the army at Monterey, and the pronunciamento which deprives Pa- redes of power is complete. Itis a nice point to consider what will be the course adopted by Santa Anna, when he once more fills the of- ad < Teens ‘the ten serenllo. Up to the pe- of vices, Pacit fers of Mr. Polk were not known in Mexico. Will Santa Anna, flushed with success, and hailed as a military deliverer, rely upon his old reputation, and make an effort to recover that of the Mexican army; or will he rather lend an ear to the propositions from Washington, strive fo consol date bis power, and construct a strong government? If the surmises which have gone abroad in the United States, have any foundation in truth, he will not take the Geld against the invaders; but whatever his wishes on the ‘ubject, it is still possible he may, in the first instance, ‘Another battle may yet be fought, though the chances are, we think, against it; notwithstanding the active parations of General Taylor, and the “fire-new couray of the Mexicans, wnder an old and again popular lea ‘The advantage that will finally ensue to Mexico from the recent chang is still problematical, whether the im- modh ‘@ result be peace or war. But it is high time that the government of the country should assume a perma- nent cl that it should no longer be the prey ol the sharpest sword, abroad or at home, but have its inde pendepce assured. [From the London Globe, Sept- 12.) ‘The dinner to celebrate Mr. Brown's return for the Southern division of Lancashire suggests some matter of positive, as the Coleshill banquet to Mr. Newdegate of negative, instruction. * bd . * . ir Brown’s remarks on the anti-slavery policy pur. sued of late years agree so much with the views we have ventured to advance, that we make no apology for extracting them :— ‘ ““Gentlemen—The great difficnity in passing the sugar duties, for which you did me the honor to send me to Parliament, the great difficulty was, that it might possi. bly increase the slave trade.

While in Paris, she had seen and been pleased with Prince Leopold Kohary. On the | fall of Narvaez, the Court, up to that time under the | influence and Aoting by the counsels of M. de Bresson, | bre: sought the support and assistance of the English Cabinet.

But | Lord Aberdeen conceived himself bound to France, first | by his admission of Trapani as a candidate, and then be- cause of his having yielded his assent to the pretensions of Louis Philippe for preserving the farhily of Bourbon on the throne of Spain. Disappointed in their hopes with regard to-the Tory cabinet, Maria Christina and her husband, the Duke de Rianzares, who conducted the whole affair, turned again towards France. Convinced of their unpopularity in Spain, they felt that they could not do without the support of a foreign government, and they endeavored to e sure of that which should offer the surest guarantees for their protection. France soothed the Siquiet ef Christina, and the French em- bassy became the rendezvous ofthe friends of Narvaez, who are here the avowed partisans of France. They first of all sought to obtain the Queen’s hand for the Count de Moxtemolin, but seeing that public opinion was against this match, they next thought of Don Enrique, in the hope of inducing him to accept the part of protégé of France, but the Prince roved intractable. Narvaez then suggested the idea of chi his elder brother, as the onl: Bourbonfleft, ‘whom he undertook to secure, Marla Christina, however, held fast by the Coburg match, and resolved to make another attempt. The ministry of Lord John Russell, since their accession to power, had shown a marked sympathy in favor of Don Enrique, but in order not to frighten the Court of Spain by the idea of forcing him upon them, Lord Palmerston confined him- selfin the firstinstance to recommending the court to adopt amore tolerant policy, to grant an amnesty, to calm the prevailing irritation,and rely freely onthe opin- jon of the country, hoping by this means to prepare the way for an Loom ee that should content the Spanish nation, But Mr, Bulwer soon discovered that it was im- Leto to obtai: anything from the court without giv- ing it what it asked for in exchange, that is to say, pro- ising the hand of the prince of Coburg, so strongly desired by the queen mother, and he explained the state of things frankly to his government. The answer of the British cabinet was waited for before they would come toa decision, or yield to the pressing solicitations of M. de Bresson. If its assent was givento the Coburg tch, liberality wouM have been the order of the dav |. The mini-try would have been changed, an a 'y would been granted, and a constitutional course of government followed out.

By adopting this course she conformed to the views of the French cabinet, accomplished the de- sires of M. de Bresson, and secured a triumph for the par- tisans of the reactionary anti-liberal system which go- verns us ; for the Infant Don Francisco, who, personal: acceptable to the Constitutionalists, when taken as ression andthe instrument of French influe: becomes most vbjectionable,to the friends of liberty and independence, marriage of the Queen with her cousin{was decided on, that ofthe Infanta and the Duc de Montpensier was set- tled, which is nothing more nor less tuan the renewal of the Family Compact, and will give Spain over to the reactionary coterie who aim at converting the constitu- tioninto a hypocrital instrument of exclusive domina- tion.

(From the London Standard, Sept. 18.] \e Paris papers are still occupied with the Montpen- sier marriage. The news published in yesterday’s Stan- dard, from Madrid, fully confirms our anticipation as to the favorable reception of the message from the Queen + Aly? Cortes. A commission has been appointed to con- ler the Address, the whole of whose members are fave- rable to the Government. Up to the present moment, however, the long looked for interference of England in the matter had not been attempted, and thus the hopes of the opposition have received the coup de grace. The Journal des Debats states, that on the morning of the Sth, the Pope was to have signed the license for the marria; of the Queen with her cousin, and that a courier weu! set out with it immediately, and was expected to ive in Madrid on the 17th or 18th.

Such is stated as the amount of considera- tion which Great Britain is to receive for abstaining from The itatements of the Siecle are too absurd to demand a grave refutation, but it calculates, we presume, that readers will be found credulous enough to believe them. The Courrier Francais affirms that a coolness has arisen be- tween the King of Naples and the French Gov- ernment, in consequence of the sudden abandonment, without explanation, of its “formal promises” to the Count de pani, in regard to hia pretensions to the hand of the Queen of Spain. It is added that a communi- cation had been made to the French Ambassador at Na- ples on the subject. The press of Algeria is said to be under a rigid ewreeillance.

What is cer- land, and the sean when yy arora itz, The Log: ved any positive instruc- for it has only recently been put on; but it is well known that the public is at present inundated with pros- Pea: in which it is shown that a gain of twenty- ive or fifty per cent may be made, even with the duty; and the thing which tends to prove that these prospectuses are true is, that certain spinners declare themselves ready to do without protection at once, if they are given liberty of commerce, and 7 cially the right to buy their engines wherever they like. How can it indeed be believed that we are so inferior to England in this respect, when she is known to take here the stock which they manufacture into for iustance, the linens which we buy in to go through adouble begs 3 first, in the state of raw flax, and then ia the state of thread or linen. If on this point liberty is not possible at present, it will be soina short time. Silks have come to a well-known perfection in France. Our manufacturers in Lyons require ne pro- tection,jand yet the duties of 14f 40c., 16f. 60c. 191. 90c. and 34f. 100. per kilogramme are still kept up. Nor do we think itis the French manufacturer who demands the mainte- nance of duty on cocoons and silk thread leaving France; itis a real detriment to national agriculture, which re quires the liberty of selling its silks in every part of the world, as it does ite wine. This analysis relative to tis- which taken together, represent the greater part of manufacturing nas? et be repeated with regard to all great country, and we should always arrive at the same conclusion, amo! it the French producers those who nt and active ell manufecture as well and often better than abroad, and ealled protec- he price and renders d and expensive the material which the manufacturer makes use of, obliging him then to sell his produce at a higher price. Then their inferiority, far from being real, is only factitious, and would cease to exist if liberty of commerce were allowed. This observation Creal es. pecially to the iron-founders. These manufacturers will tell you that in one half of the French forges the work ia done with as much perfection and econ- omy aselsewhere. They will add that France is better subdivided ths ion in its mineral luce, and that these minerals are c! r and better than in England — 1, we have less pense ; but they will affirm, possess many inexhaustible min tained at the same price as in England, and that, too, in the neighborhood of the minerals themsel They will mention to you, amongst others, the Berri and the Avey- ron. They will show that the dearness of the fuel 1s tho result, in general, of the duty on iron, because the wood and coal merchaats late their pric y that of the tariff on iron. The: asters, making use of materials which they get from others, have no reason to resist liberty of commerce. The fuel would soon fall to the price which it would fetch in natural order of things. We insist Jocullerly on this point, that th parent inferiority of some of our manufactures is a result of the protective system, although we believe it net to be so. We will mention one article which bears out our assertion—it is common painted cloth, such as is made in Rouen. Leaving aside Mulhausen, and only taking Rouen into consideration, would not the inferiorit which Rouen supposes itself to be fixed in disappear, if it had the liberty of procuring at the same price in Eng: Iond raw cotten, dyeing materials, and coal, and the iron with which the machinery for cotton spinning is made ? The only difference of price which supports Rouen ia that peculiar branch is not the resuit of natural circum. stances, The main causo is the protective system. Make all these things as free as they are in the English tart, and Rouen will be able to compete with Manches- ter. For Rouen knows how to work as well as Man- chester~ knows better the econ of material, and is more versed in the chemic arts ; if Rouen pays for _ a little deaver, in return it pays ite workmen eas, State of the Crops in Europe.—Will there be a Famine ? {From the Londen Chronicle, Sept. 16 J The prepos arms of our agricul 5 the ridiculo tions of their parliamentary friends and adv! e destined, we fear, to receive a decisive and sweeping refutation than could be d Now that the adva: period of th aa it were, to take stock, and hh ference to actual and prospective supplies of food for the wants of an increased and increasing ae ont there appear painfully distinct grounds for be!

While our contemporary confident. mates the British wheat harvest of tl year 4s ‘considerably larger and better than that of 1845, reminds us that last years deficiency was to a great xtent compensated by the very large unexhausted su plus of the extraordinarily abundant crop of 1844 which was such that, in all probability, there was larger amount of corn in this country on the Ist of Sep- tember, 1315, than on any previows Ist of September within the memory of man. ‘This year we have no such out Tesources. There 1s no unconsumed residue of past abundance to fall back upon. The official statis- tics of wheat sales, collected from those markets on which the weekly averages are struck, show a falling off in the amount of wheat brought to market, during the first eight months of this year, as compared with the corresponding eigiat months of last year, which—espe- cially considering the stimulus to forced sales‘afforded by protectionist prophecies of “inundation”—can only be regarded as indicat the exhausted state of the stocks in the farmer's hi The figures for the last month of each period are particularly significant. In August, 1845, 758,854 quarters of wheat were brought to market by our farmers ; in August, 1846, only 424,706 quarters. Our contemporary’s conclusion is, we Dut too well justified—that whereas, ‘‘on the first of September, 1845, the stocks of old wheat were larger than they probably had been in any former year, on the same day this year they were smaller than for many years past” ‘This exclusive dependence of this year's demand on this ‘a supply assumes, a more serious aspect, when it is remembered, that, owing to the comparative ear- ‘of the recent harvest, and the superior fitness of the , in point of quality, for immediate use, the col of the harvest of 1846 has commenced many wee! r than that of its predecessor. wit any desire to adopt needlessly an alarmist tone, We have thought it right to place these fucts, and their obvious inferences, plainly before the public.

Whether the of our actual state and pros- pects with ref to the supply of food, will produce any stronger on the Government and the pub- lic, than a lively in reflecting on those legis- lative measures whiloh have given us almost a free trade in corn, is a point we have no desire to pro- nounce a brea eyo present comparatively in- nocuous corn-law was cope circumstances that must Report predispose pi of ali classes and parties, to endeavor to acquiesce, of a settle- ment which presents so very much of with but a relatively small amonnt of temporary evil. At the same time, feel that the country cannot be too early familisrised with facts which may eventually force on all our public men the calm consideration of the question, whether it is, on the whole, desirable and fitting that we should continue, to any the smallest extent, the policy of giving to our com. petitors in a scanty food market an artificial advantage over ourselv: (#rom the Paris Constitutiounel, Sept. 16.) Although we have not seen the official returns, the intelligence which reaches us from the different parts of France, leaves no doubt asto the inadequacy of the crops generally. It appears from the Tea es lished & ‘a Ministerial journal, who would be aft to say anything displeasing to its masters, that in the south and west the harvest was inferior to that of last year, and almost as deficient as in 1839; that oe number of = have altogether failed. We may add that vege- tables have been little abundant in conseq f the drought, and that potatoes have failed in several locali- ties. In’ the mean time, the price of grain increa almost everywhere. Last year, at this period, the pi of wheat varied in our markets from 20 to 24 francs per hectolitre; this year it varies from 26 to 32, which would seem to an augmentation of from 20 to 25 per cent. In Paria, the price of bread had risen during the second fortnight of September from 39 to 41 centimes per kilogramme. It had reached nearly the same rate at Rouen, and in the principal towns of Normandy. It sold for 42 centimes at Lille, and still higher in Lorraine and Alsace, where its price’ is 47 centimes at Strasburg, 55 at Nancy, and 60 at Colmar.” ven 5 ret but fow estimates of the result have been offered, public at- tention having been #0 much taken up with’ the potato disease, and its probable consequences to cast into the shade all other matters. Under these circum- stances it has been extremely difficult to obtain accurate information relative to the yield of the different grain crops, and we are not in a position to offer a very de- cided opinion on the subject. Judging, however, from what we have hitherto been enabled to collect, we are strongly inclined to believe that the produce of wheat will prove less to the acre than was expected previous to the commencement of harvest. The deficiency in quantity may in some measure be made good by the supe- riovity ef the quality and the great weight of the grain; but, with full allowance for these advantages, we stilt question whether the yield will exceed that of average seasons. This, though not a very favorable view, is more than can be said of any other be of corn. The nezt in in importanee to wheat is that bf jarley, which is admitted on all hands to fall materially short. The defictency in the produce is variously estimated ; but that there isan im portant deficiency ts universally acknowledged Nezt we come to oats; the extreme heat and the want of moisture during the greater part of the summer, were exceedingly trying to this crop, and, excepting on the best descriptions , the yield is even lighter than that of barley Bea ‘obably, not more than halfa crop ; and peas have ‘ed out equaily short. Indeed. with the exception of 1y, which is abundant andof exceilent quality, the gross amount of food raised in Great Britain, for man and beast, is unquestionably very considerably below what is likely to be required before another harvest can be (Saturday) evening.

On Wednesday the | Essex, Kent, and Suffolk stands were nearly bare ; and | the millers being anxious buyers, prices 1s. to 28. per qr. | higher than those current in the beginning of the week | were, in partial instances, realized. This advance was generally demanded on Friday ; and though the inquiry ‘was leas active than earlier in the week, needy purcha- | sers hud no alternative but to comply. The averages are | now beginning to show the influence of the recent rise in prices ; the last return for the kingdom being 1s. 2d., and that for London 8d. per qr4 higher than the returns of the preceding week. the duty, which has for some time been 10s. (the highest point), must in the course of a few weeks recede, and is likely to decline gradually till it | falls to 4s. per qr., the minimum under the existing law. | It does not, however, by any means follow that this wili insure usa supply ; the harvest just secured having pro- | ved more or less defective over nearly the whole of con- | tinental Europe. In France and Belgium, well asin | several of the more southern countries, the deficiency is reported to bo so serious asto have caused prices to rise above the level of ourown; and even in the Baltic quo- tations of wheat aro relatively higher than in the British markets. ‘There is consequently litte prospect of large importations from any quarter except America ; and the surplus growth of the Unlted States will, unquestiona- bly, be shipped to whatever market may promise the best return.

The lato rise in the value of all kinds of grain in the British markets has, as usual, influenced quotations at | principal ports on the continent. Wheat has ad- | inced materially all over the Baltic ; but this has been 1s much caused by orders from Belgium and France as by the reports from hen: Letters from Danzig, dated 5th inst., furnish us with a statement of the shipments from thence during August, from which it ap that of the 3,169 lasts exported, only 390 laste hi despatched to British ports, Since the previous post-day, rather la hases had been made there on gian account, whilst scarcely any thing had been taken for England.

Tur Convict Henny.—Yesterday morning, Jose) Henry was sent off from the prison of La Roquette to the hulks at Toulon,in execution of the sentence ofthe Court of Peers. Until his being transterred to this prison, he maintained hopes that his appeal to the king for a commu- tation would meet with some success; and more than once sent for his counsel, M. Baroche, to whom he ex- reesed great anxiety as to his fate. At #ix in the morn- he was informed that he must prepare to go to Tou- lon, undergo the usual ess, and put on the dress worn by all persons sentenced to the hulks. He sunk into a state of deepatrand almost stu, r, exclaiming, “ Oh, God! Oh, God! Ali then is over!
