YORK, AFFAIRS IN EUROPE. ADDITIONAL INTELLIGENCE RECEIVED BY THE STXBAMSHIP CAMBRIA AT THE NEW YORK HERALD OFFICE. The Effect ot che Reema oe Come: Samra Sn gla [From the London Times, June 1) Lurope wili be tired of a campaign in which conquests bring no particle of credit, and ne no prospect of peace, and in which it is equally impoasible to applaud the victors or commiserate the vanquished. The di gence from America, which we published yesterd: 1 responds 80 exactly with the information to be ex- pected, that it might all have been printed by prophesy @ fortnight ago, After establishing # provisional govern- ment in Vera Cruz, General Scott took the route to Mexico by the ordinary road, which slopes im a nortwost- erly direction along the ascent from the lowlands of the Gulf coast to the tirrras templadae of the first plateau, He passed the Puente Nacional without opposition, though it has always been considered as ons of the most defensible posts on the route. Santa Anna had not de- scended so fur, but had taken up a position at Cerro Gordo, 2 mountain ridge about half way between the An- tigua and Xalupa, the first respectable town on the road from Vera Cruz to the capital. ‘Travellers have deserib- od this journey as an undertaking of no insignificant en- terprise, even with the aid of the best diligencius of the country; but the American troops appear to rave ad- vanced pretty smoothly till they found themselves in front of their enemy, on the 12th ef April. . . * + . Santa Anna is said to have decamped in good time, ing his carringe, like Joseph’s at Vittoria, to the spoil of his pursuers, who, in place of Murillos and Cor- regios. discovered the more appreciable treasure of some highly flavored Cubas and an excellent stock of preserv- ed meats. Ampudia, the second in command, left the field early, without his hat, on a‘splendid white charger, as conspicuous us that of Roderick the Goth. The Com- mander-in-Chief is reported to ba at Orizaba, atewn just under the great peakof that name, whence he has issued @ proclamation, stating that there is “ another ‘Thermopyle” between Xalapa and Mexico. The Ameri- cans were politely revived by the “corporation and civil authorities” at Xalapa, and have pushed on to Pe- rote, from which town they will march on La Puebla and 40 to the capital; Geperal Taylor, as is rumored, having been ordered to effect juuction with the main body by @ southward march from San Luis. There is not much deubt but that the Americans can march to Mexico, and could have done s0 some time ago Santa Annacould certainly operate on their flank from his post at Orizuba, if he had the proper means or mo- tives; and if, asis stated,the Mexicans ave positively pre- paring for some real resistance at La Puebla, another af- fair might ensue. But we presume that few of our read- ers will put much faith in the determination or patriot- ism of the lnvaded nation. New Spain is as like Old Spain as ever a child was like @ parent. Ifthe Mexicans hud but been blessed with » little Baylen, the whole scene would be a wonderful representation of the Penin- sulein 1809. ‘They vapor and brag. and boast and fume without the smallest aj parent sense of their daily dis- comfitures, ‘Their papers and proclamations are filled with prediotions of future victories, to the utter exclu- sion of present defeats. As fur as words, and, perhaps, even as far as resolutions go, they are ull daring and de- fiance, and yet they never adopt an ordinary precaution or abide an ordinary shock. At this moment, by an ee tempore revolution in the capital, they have displaced Gomes Farias and exalted Dou Pedro Araya toa newly created office of “President substitute,” with absolute power for every thing except the conclusion of » peace. To read their Various manifestos, no person could possi- bly conceive that they were any other than tho most warlike and unconquerable nation under heaven. ‘The confidence of Varro after Cann altogether vanishes compared with the complacency of Santa Anna after eighteen settled defeats within thirteen months, De re- publicd non desperdsse, indeed! Why, if this is forti- tude the Mexicans are intinitely more courage- ous than even those contiguous islanders of the Carribbean, whose only historical fault is being “reully too brave.’ And the extraordinary point of the story is, that these assertions of intrepidity and pa- triotism do actually appear both universal and sincere. There is no peace party at Mexico. ‘The voice of all is for open war. ‘T’here is no terrorism ; people is not dri- ven to patriotism by the guillotine and the gallows, as at Saragossa and Barcelona. With one accord and one heart they proclaim their own invincible determination never to surrender, and yet they never face an enemy for a moment, and now, when he is at the gates of their cupital, they are neither fortifying nor arming, dnd will probably be found without « canuon mounted or & bat- talion mustered. All this, however, but aggravates the difficulty of the Americans. They neither want to cap- ture tbe towns nor chastise the population, ‘They waut & friendly surrender, or a peaceful sale of a coveted pro- vince. ‘They wantthe Mexican nation to ratify bur- gain, pronounce a free consent, aud resign a quiet pos- session; and the patriotic oustinucy which preciudes unis arrangement is precinely that to which tue Mexicans are equal. The American journals admit that the most complute success of their, arms has produced no visible effect on the temper of the invaded people, and it is but little further that these successes can now possibly go. ‘The Americans have already got all the sea cossi, the customs, the chiet forts, and tbe chief towns, and, wi we write, they have probubly got the metropolis, of their vietims.’ ‘They have dispersed their arimivs, captured their generals, and destroyed their material ; but it is confessed that the war seems about as far from its close as whon “it started;”’ and it is now to be sven what force will be brought to bear against a people whose self sufficiency suffers by no discomfiture, whuse delui dispelled by no defeats, and who cun dis; vernment, a capital , oast, ter or credét, és with charac- [From the London Chronicle, As far as the success of their military operations ia con- eerned, nothing more conclusive can’ by conceived than the late movements of the United States’ generals ageinst the foros that the Mexicans have been able to oppose to them in the field. It is impossible to read the secounts of these successive actions without something like # feeling of contempt for the beaten purty, so strong an effect do the triumphs of military prowess exercise on the mind. Almost despite of the claims of justice, sod of compassion for the countless and unoffend- ing thousands whose fates are inextricably bound up with those of the beaten troops, one is tempted to ex- claim, that they who know so iil how to defend a coun- try are not wary to possess one. ‘The prize of empire —so all history tella us—bears inscribed upon the legend: vetur Fortiori. Not all the military success, however, of General Scott or of General Taylor—not victory in twenty engagements even though they have been as gallantly fought on the side of the conquerors as those of Buena Vista and Cer- ro Gordo, could turn the United States into aught elae than one of brute force, or, if you will, of military disc!- pline. Never should we forget with what slight cause this war was entered upon by the suthorities at Wash- ington; upon how trivial pretext how immense an amount of misery has been inflicted upon an unoffending people! ‘That the Mexieans are a turbulent and imprac- ticable race is granted; granted, too, that in the field as soldiers they have been unable to cope with the invaders; still all this will not convert the brigandage of unautho- rised attack into @ legitimate war, Even if we admit that the non-payment of a certain amount of dollars could have furnished Mr. Polk with aca- sue belli for his conduct in this matter, it is te be remem- bered that it was ia a great measure owing to the acts of tho United States’ agents in Texas, aud the severance of that province, in consequence, from the Mexican con- federation, that the central government was reduced to & state of permanent disorganization. Feelings of hos- tility, too, were engendered in the hearts of the Mexi- @aus by the conduct of the United States in that trans- action, whieh predisposed them to resist any claim that the envoy from Washington might set up; and upon those feelings the Anglo-Americans should have. looked quietly, and without any very violent return of ill-will ‘Time should have been given to those who had just been despoiled of one of the fairest portions of their empire, in order that they might leara decently to veil, if they ould not entirely suppress, the soreness consequent upon the event. ‘Lhat which we have often foretold would be the ruin of the Mexicansin military point of view, has actually come to pass. ‘The imaginative gallantry of the Spanian race comes but fll out of the rough ordeal of @ practical trial. Becauso each individual of whom their armies are composed is in no respect inferior in courage or in il at his weapon, to any of his Anglo-American oppo- nents, therefore they jump to the conclusion that the Mexican army can in the aggregate offer sistance to that of the United States, They forgot t! ‘a thousand Bayards could never break © modern square of infantry, nor resista movern charge, if ea had not themselves passed through the hands of a drill sergeant. They will not trust to their best allies, their deserts and their yellow fever, but must needs fight great battles, which invariably terminate in one result—disgrace sad defeat. We cannot say how far Santa Anna may be compelled to fight these disastrous actions by the political position of aifairs in Mexico. Such may be the state of things, that even « defeat is a preferable alternative to the re- sults of inaction. If this be not, however, the case. he must wilfully intend hia country’s ruin,or bea fitter subject for an asylum than the command of an army.— After his recent experience at Buena Vista—not to ak of the experience of a long life—he must have boen perfectly aware, when he threw up his entrench- ments in the face of Gen, Scott's advancing force, that if he attempted to defend them he was lost. He had ample time to choose his own ground, and yet he does seed to have done so with any peculiar military kill. effectual re- There does not seem to have been any such great lo- cal advantages about the heights of Cerro Gordo as should have entitled them to the dignity of the Thermo- pylme of Mexico. True it is that the ground is described y General Scott as being broken by mountains and dvep chasms, but the field of operations covered many More than this, in one point of Santa Anua’s line of defence, there was a tower upon a height, by the capture of which the retreat of his troops would be ef- fectually cut off in any direction. Yet against s0 proba- ble a contingency he made no kind of preparation whatsoever; and accordingly, in his retreat to Jaiapa, twenty-five miles distant trom the soene of action, Ge- neral @cott informs the Sveretary at War that the troops under bis command, had ad greatly to the number of prisoners, wouoded and killed The the A = Americans rican loss 48 killed, and 265 wounded. The loss of the Mexi in killed and wounded is rated by Gen, Scott only at about 859 on the field of battle, to whiea number must of course be udded that of those who were eut down on the retreat to Jalnpa. The opinion entertain- ed by the United States’ officersof the powers of resist- aneo of their opponents, may be inferred from General Soott’s orders isiued to the various generals of division on the day preceding the action, Never. in the diree- thous issued bs Of the greutest European command- ers, do we reine to have seen a greater confidence manifested in what must be the result of his operations. Succers is assumed on every point, and the dirrction to by each division alter foreing eack point of the Mexican entrenchments, is as clewrly marked out as though the result had ulready taken plaee, We are bound to say that the unlimited eonfidence placed by General Scott in the troops under his eom- mand has been justified by the event. His vie at Cerro Gordo appears to have been by far the most bril- Nant affair of the war, Ho deseribes himself as being absolutely embarrassed with the results of his own suc- small orms, and accoutrements. Under the head of prisoners alone, about three thousand men have Inid down their arms, with the usual proportion of officers, besides five generals of the highest rank. General Santa Anna himeelf, with some six or eight thousand men, escaped in the diree- tion of Jalapa, just in time, before the tower, of which we have spoken above, was carried by a division of the United States army. To speculate upon the further progress of Gon, Scott's army in the dire:ti on of the capital, would be mere idle- uvss, in the face of sued disorganization as must now un- doubtedly exist on the side of the Mexicans. ‘The troops of Gen. Tayler are still at Buena Vista and Sal- Uillo, and it is stated to bo his intention to advance on dan Luis, along the roads traversed by Senta Anna in his late disastrous retreat from Buona Vista; there he will be placed In a situation to co-operate with his col- league in his-views upon Mexico itself. Undoubtedly, if military resistance be the only obstacle to be appre- hended by tho Anglo-American generals in their ad- vance upon Mexico, we shall expect shortly to hear of the fall of that city, as we have just hears of that of Vera Cruz. For the honor of humanity we should be well pleased to hear of something like a probable termination of this disastrous war. As to the point, that the United States troops would take military possession of the great towns of the country, we have never disputed it for one mo- ment; but military possession of curtain” points in a country is not identical with conquest of the country Even if the authorities at Washington determine upon that course, they will tind the; Laoy eatened upon a task which this generation will not see accomplished, and which must be persevered in at an expeuse that Congress will be little likely to sanction.

All foreign goods prohibited by the Mexican tariff, end introduced into the ports which the American forces at present occupy, shall be seized at the places where they way be stopped, by the Mexican authorities. 2. All goods of free importation into the Mexican ports, imported through thosu which the United States occupy, run the risk of being contiscated by the Mexi- can authorities, or at least that they be made to pay the duties established by the Mexican tariff, although it may be proved that the same imposed by the American tariff may have been discharged. In making this notification, you will endeavor to have it understood that this iy one of the consequences of the war, which has not been in any manner provoked by the Mexican Republic, and that even whilst it has lasted, its authorities have abstained from molesting in any way foreiga commerce, until the American govern- ment, by the violation of her constitution and rights, which Mexico has not lost in her misfortunes, an which belong to every independent nation, has placed her authorities under the necessity of adopting mea- sures against the violation of the sald rights by the os- tablishment of the American tariff. Offering you the assurance of my consideration, &c. if M. L. MORA, Senor General Don J. M. Mexpota, Mexican Consul in Londen, Ocean Steam Navigation. [From the London Timer, June 1.) It willbe recollected that we have more than once alluded to @ proposition that has been submitted to the Admirality, to open # direct,communication monthly by steam with New Orleans, and that the*Royal Mail Com- pany had submitted # plan whieh would enable them to accomplish the route without subjecting the government to any additional expense. It sppeara that in order to satisfy themselves of the eligibility of the harbour of Cat Island for the purpose, their lordships had despatched the Thunder, brig of war, Captain Barnett, to sound the approaches to the harbour, with the consent of the government of the United States. Thecollector at the port did not consider himse/f authorised to give a formal assent for a survey without eommunicating with the Executive Government at Washington, the time re- uired for which oxcveded the period which Captain Toros, ‘according to his instructions, eould devote to the object. The chief point, however, r certained, was the de] 4 water round the bar, and in the harbour of Cat | don this part of the subject it is understood that Captain Barnett had ample opportunity of fully determining that the depth ef water was more thes amply sufficient for the purpose. It is, aired to be as- therefore, expected that there will be no farther obstacle presented te the putting the Royal Mail Company's steamers on & newly-arranged route witout delay. “It isa matter of some regret, although not of s very serious degree of importance, that the day following Capt. Bar- nett’s departure, Professor Boche, the head of the Am: rican surveying department, with « Lieut. Patterson, o! the navy, arrived at Now Orleans, to carry out the sur- of the coast, and who would have afforded all the aid wired by Captain Barnett. It is at the same time worthy of notice, that the New Orleans papers, received by the steamer, contain advertisements for contracts for thelast twp miles of the Mexican Guif Railway, which will complete the line of communication with Cat Island harbor Eantgration f.om Europe to America. In the Houre of Commons on the Ist inst., the Earl of Lincoln moved that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying that she would be graciously pleased to take into consideration the means by which coloniza- tion might be made subsidiary to other measures for the improvement of the social coudition of Ireland. res . . * . . Lord John Russell explained the mensures adopted by the late and present government for the encouragement of emigration. In the course of the present year no fewer than 120,000 persons had been provided with means of emigration to the United States and Canada alone, and that of itself was a very considerable emigration. (Hear. hear.) They should, however, take care that they did not indispose the colonies from recviving emi- grants by letting the idea go abroad that they wished to convert them into receptacles for tie rubbish of the home population. Already defenwive measures had been taken by some of the United States to check the current of einigration thither, and a feeling was getting abroad in Canada in favor of similar measures being adopted by that province. This being so it would bo exceedingly imprudent for the Government or the House to appear to be meditating some vast scheme of emigration, whero- by they should throw at once, upen the shores of the British provinces, an overwhelming mass of their pauper population. Mr, Godiey’s plan proposed to send two millions to Canada, for whom no employment could be found there,and if theywere,destitute of employment and comforts on this side of the Atlantic, it would be neither charity, humanity, nor good policy to sund them to be destitute and mendicant onthe other. With respect to the motion of the noble lord, it was unneces- sary that any commission should be appointed with a view to obtaining information with reference to the state of Ireland. So far as regarded informa tion from the British American colonies, they should take first the opinion of the, Governor General and his council, and then of the members of t) Executive Council and of the Provinoial Assemblie: All this could be better done if left in the hands of the executive, than by the appoingment of a commission which was un- necessary, Of all the plans that had been proposed; that which seemed most feasibie to him was, that of ai ing the public works in the provinces which would give employment to the emigrants.

To do so would give rise to extravant expecta- tions on this side of the Auantic, and to extravagant ap- prebensions on the other, He trusted the noble Lord would consent to leave the matter in the hands of the Government, and be contented with an address to the Crown, not for the appointment ofa commission, but in aid of the efforts which the Government was making, and would continue to make, in behalf of emigi ion, The Death of Daniel O'Connell.

During the whole time of our attendance on Mr, O'Connell it was with the greatest difficulty he could be induced to take medicine, or even necessary food, and he perseveringly abstained from drink for fully forty hours. Had this ‘been otherwise the period of death might have been procrastinuted, but his failing health and spirits, with constant tendency to cerebral nt rendered certain his death at no very distant period.”* His spiritual adviser and chaplain. Dr. Miley, thus foe ingly describes the termination of the hon. and learne gontleman’s career, in @ leiter addressed to Mr. Morgan O Connell :— “ Genoa, Sunday, May 16 “My dear, dear lay the God of Mercy sustain and comfort you. » worst has befallen us—the Liber- ator, your illustrious father—the father of his country— the glory xnd the wonder of Christendom—is dead.— Deai! No. I should suy, rather, O’Connell is in hea- ven. His death was happy; he received in the movt fe vent seutiments the last rites, and up to the last sig! was surrounded by every consolation provided by our holy religion. O, would to Heaven that [could pour the balm of consolation iato the wound which | open by this heart- breuking intelligence; but, alas! how could [, ny own heart is bursting, and poor Daniel is crushed with grief. Nothing that strangers could do to comfort us has been wanting, but the stroke is so tremendous! On the side of religion every thing cheers us, and it is there we have sought for refuge. You are already aware from wy last letter, and that which was written by Daniel at a later hour, how matters stood up to six o'clock on last ( turday) evening. From that hour up to eight o'clock he continued to sink gradually, but without suffering. I Kuew long before this hour that he was dying, and we ud ree d the prayers from seven to eight o'clock, in which he joined most fervently, and with all the dis tinctness his fast failing powers permitted. I think his agony began ut sight o'clock, or a little after, but in using this word you are not to understand me to say that there was any painful struggle. At no stage, especially for the last two days, was there anything like pain. At this time the Vieur General, who in # prelate, with the clergy, were round his bed; his breathing became gradu ally nore weak; as the prayers were recited, b were firmly clasped upon his noble breast, his counte- nance perfectly wereny; and as | suggested to him all that my sucred office required, and my grief permitted, be responded by word and sign so as to express perfectly and fervently the glowing sentiments of his heart, Ba- niel and me, and his faichful Duggan, he recognised to the last. Our supplieations, in the sublime and consoling language of the church, were mingled with our tears, as we knelt around his bed. When at Isst his mighty voice was hushed, his countenance—his hands—responded to the prayers, “At thirty-seven minutes past nino, the hand of the priest of God, privileged ‘to bind and loose on earth, even as it is done in heaven,’ was extended over him, There was no struggle—no change visible upon the fea- tures, except that as we gazed it was plain that a dread mystery had cast its shadow over him. The spirit which had moved the world took its flight so peacefully, that all who were there, excepting the angels who were in waiting for it, were in doubt if it had departed. He died as an infant sinks upon its mother’s breast to sleep, It was by the {soft and beautiful transition of the prayers, that we were reminded that we had before us only the noble body of O'Connell, as if listening, hushed in at- tention, for the summons to a glorious immortality. “ We are thrown upon eur councils, with nothing to guide us but what we inherit from his conversations and casually expressed wishes. Acting on this, we have de- termined to have the heart embalmed, placed in a silver urn, and transported to Rome, as of old the heart of Robert Bruce was carried to Jerusalem, when it was not permitted him by Providence to perforin in his own per- son that pilgrimage to the holy sepulchre which he had vowed, as O'Connell had vowed his pilgrimage to the to the tomb of the Apostles. His body, also, is to be embalmed, and deposited in a chapel of the church of our Blessed Ludy, Delle Vigne,where it is to remain until, on our return from leaving the heart in Rome, we con- yey it to Ireland. “ We hi thought it right that his obsequics, though to be renewed no doubt by the Irish nation, should princely here. It is” likely we shall proceed with our sa- cred charge to Rome on Thursday or Friday next, by way of Civita Vecchia, where the carriage and nearly ail our luggage have been for some days “ We shallhold it a sacred duty to guard every object, no matter how otherwise insignificant, that belonged to this pilgrimage, as woll as all the documents and imemo- rials appertaining to it, which we have collected ould add that we are satistied with the physi- cians.
