The Condition of the Oid World—@ne Posi- tion of the United States—The Mexlean War—Starvation and Society in Kurope— | Misery and Money Abroad, dc. dc, The leyislative bodies of both France and Eng- land are now in session. The sovereigns of both | have delivered their speeches—and the debates of each body now begin to fill the newspapers to | a very considerable extent. The subjects which | engage their attention are of a novel and extraor- dinary kind. One protion of these matters con- sists of the intrigues of courts, the marriages of Priness—ihe extinction of treaties; another por- | tion ia formed of the distress of the people, the | glimmerings of insurrection and revolution, and the new altitude forced upon Burope towards Ameriea. All the commercial restrictions and lnwe hexetafore put in foree against the United States by Englaod andiFrance, have been broken down by the terrible destitution and famine which prevail in both countries. The awful de- | ficiency of the crops has produced ‘# .commer- | eivl revolution which will throw the balance of | wealth into the Ixp of the United States in a few | short years, and make our country the great lead- ing power of the commercial world. There is nlso every rensun to believe that the deficiency of the British and French harvests to | support the populations of each country, will henceforth be a permanent condition of things— an‘ not an accident, happening in 1846. The po- pulation of the British kingdom is nearly thirty | millions—that of France reaches thirty-five mil- | lions—but the state ofagriculture in each, is such | asto be unable to support such a vast mass of human existence, without an increasing and per- \ manent supply from the United States. Tell the | young men of enterprise in the United States to go a farming. Hereafter, Western Europe will rmanently require an increasing supply of | jood for an increasing populatien. This relative | ition of the two continents will throw the ba- | Jance of trade permanently in favor of the United States—and ultimately draw to America the great wealth ofthe old world. From these views it will be seen that a new and extraordinary state of relations has grown up between America and Europe. How- ever friendly they may appear~whatever at- titude of kindness they may put on, the governments of Western Europe possess feel- ings of dislike, fear, ‘and hatred tothe United States, The people of Great Britain and France may feel differently,when they have sense and intelligence to feel at all; but their govern- ments dread and fear the influence and wonder- fully growing power of the government at Wash- ington. No matter who may be President, he | must expect the like attacks from the European | press which have characterized the short career | of Mr. Polk, The Mexican war, however it may end, is a greater blow to the infiuence of Europe | in the old and new world, than any other event | that has taken place since the declaration of inde- | pendence. If England and France could inter- | fere with success between the United States and Mexico, and in favor of the latter, they would do | so in a moment, even in a forcible shape. But | they dare not—they are paralysed—they are thun- | der struok—they are bound hand and foot by the eondition of their commercial relations, and their dependence for food on the fertility of the Ameri- can soil. This dependence will increase—not diminish—as years passaway. Here is Paris, and # great portion of France, verging to the brink of | famine, and its awful political eonsequences, such | as were tormerly exhibited in 1790 or ’91—and one | ot the principal resources of the present govern- | ment for preserving order and filling hungry bel- | lies, is the removal of all restrictions on the com- | | mercial relations with the United States, in the | ™ article of food. In England the same condition of things exists, and will continue to exist Therefore doI say to the young men of the Uni- | ted States, go to work—turn farmers—take hold of | the pleugh—cultivate the earth—raise food for | Europe. All the corn laws of France and Eng- land have been broken to pieces, never more to be renewed. The population of these countries have outrun, and will outrun, the means et sub- sistence. The deficiency of next year, in the arti- cle of food, will be greater than that of the last yerr, The chances are that not only a perma- uont bigh price will be affixed to all American breadsiufls hercaiter, but that the rates will ad- vance. Noone who has not seen Europe in all | its magnificence and misery, can realise the novel | relations which have now been precipitated upon the old and new world. One of the curious phenomena of the age is the horrid mixture @f frivolity and sadness which spread through the debates of the twolegislative bodies of France and England. On the one side, we see the ludicrous and laughable importance given to the marrisge of 2 young Frenchman from the banks of the Seine, to 2 young and pretty | Spanish gil from the centre of Spain. On the other hand, the little weight attached to the musery of the people—ihe wretched peasantry, in | a state of starvation—the dead and the dying for the want of those common crumbs which fall in such abundance from the tables of the rich and lofty. 1 mightulso note the ridiculous importance and oceaus of fine false sentiment thrown away | upon Cracow and the lastray of ancient Poland. | | | | about the streets of Merida, which the traveller | cannot fail to notice. | where the packet captains sailing from this port teaux—country houses—magnificent living—end expensive pleasures. This is the opinion among many well informed men, and there certainly is Strong reason for placing a good deal of confi- dence in the idea. On the whole, Europe is in an extraordinary state of transition. The press, the railroads, | steam, electricity, the increase of population, and | rise of the United States, all concur to produce # | gradual but certain revolution, of which no ene | can see the end, or even its course of action. ; j The elements of society, religion, government, The breadstuffs alone are equal to sixty-eight | and philosophy are in a constant state of fermen- | thousand barrels, Then we have cotton, clocks, , tation; and not all the existing governments | &c. &c.

This news is of some iniportance. The people ot Campeachy are our allies—the people of Me- rida, on the contrary, are in league with our enemy, Santa Anna; itis, therefere, clear, that the fall of Merida would be a blow to the dictator. Merida is the capital of Yucatan, and is situated in latitude 20 49, and in longitude 11 22. It is an inland town, From Isil, the nearest town on the coast, it is distant thirty miles; from the town of Campeachy, one hundred and thirty miles. It was built on the 6th January, 1542, on the site of an Indian village, near which, the year before, | @ great battle had been fought between the | Indians and the Spaniards, who were command- | Arrarrs In St. Dominco.—We have received an interesting letter from our St. Domingo corres- pondent.

This falling off was caused by the change in the tariff of this country at the close of 1842, {which affected the exportations in 1848, The effect was merely temporary, as the exportation in 1844, came nearly up to that of 1842; since whieh there has been but very little alt ion. The quantity ex- ported in 1842, has never been equalled since in any single year. Since 1844 the aggregate exportation of printed and dyed calicoes bas annually decreased, and the decline in 1846, compared with 1845, amounts to 48,765,000 yards, equal to about seventeen per cent. A large per cont of this decrease is found in the exports to China and I to the Mediterranean ports, and to the Pacific ports o¢ South America. The exportation of these manufactures to the East Indies, in 1846, wes less than in either of the previous four y Mo relation to plain calicoes, there has been a stendy and vapid increase in the exports to the United States, having risen from 5,120,403 yards in 1842, to 12,412,981 yards in 1845. The change in our tariff of 1842, had no temtency to reduce the exportation in 1843, as the returns exhibit an increased exportation in 1843, of 2,616,692 yards over 1842. From 1845 to 1846 there was a falling off of 1,772,766 yards in the exports to the United States. Not- withstanding the decreased exportation to the United States, to the East Indies,to the Mediterranean, the ag- gregate exportation in 1846 exhibits an increase over that of 1345, of 6,700,536 yards. © The following statement exhibits the average price of manufactured goods exported in each of the past three years :— Pricns ox Manurscronye Goons Exrontep. | | eht | Deseription. of of 1816. 1845, 1844. pics pict. das. ibs. oz, a, 44 6 plain. 12 6 m bri dd 0 69 ton and Linem 9 99 r) 20 ° ig 8 $10 8 98 8 a9 ni & 16 0 Quiltings ant R & 391 Tek ks, be 0 19 3 ns, cords, Ke. 12 39 1 anes, &e 8 43 “8 8 91 8 i 0 iil In every instance prices ruled higher in 1846, either of the previous two yoars, the improvement in printed, plain, and dyed calicoes being the same. The advance has been greater in quilti ribbons, vel- voteens, ard cords, than in any other descriptions of goods. The prospect in relation to the extent of the manufac- | turing busineas of Great Britain, particularly thet of eot- ton goods, is at prerent far from flattering. Our l. test | advices from the manufacturing districts, Manchester dersfield, Leeds, Rochdale, &c., were not very en | couragiog, and from all the accouats received ,we should Judge that the activity of those districts this season would be very limited. There are two pewerfal influences in existence calculated to restrict the production and home consumption very materially.We allude to the high price of cotton and bre tuffs, circumstances which invariably have the effect alluded to. There aro many in this country who anticipate a very extensive importation of foreign manufactures this spring. Upon what data they form their calculations, is entirely beyond our compre- honsion. When the Cambria left there was no evidence of such a movement; and oven had there been any un- veual activity in the manufacturing districts at that time, tiwould hardly have (been in season for our spring ‘The high prices ruling and likely to rule for food: ’ ext harvest, must check the operations of manu- faciurerys until there isa decline in prices of cotton there can be no permanent improvement in the de- mand for manufactured goods.

There is no doubt but that there are large markets in this country for foreign fabrics; that we are able to consume largely there is no doubt—all wo want is the goods-—but we de not, for the life of us, see where they can come from at prosent. If the manufac: turers of Europe cansend us the goods, we can take them, and pay for them, too, at high prices. ‘The high prices ruling in this country for our staple agricultural productions, must malte the producing classes rich, and as they get rich, they become largo |
