‘rand the people of Europe, are still on the Mexican war, and are exhaust- g their ingenuity in stating palliations for the Mexicans, and giving them aid and comfort as much as they can, without compromising their neutrality. This quasi friendship is not from any real love which they bear towards our ene- my, but is instigated by the jealousy and hatred which they bear towardsus. They would bite, | if they were not bound by the strongest of all | bonds, the natural instinct of self-preservation, | to keep the peace with us as long as they can, lest their crumbling monarchical fabrics fall to pieces in a contact with our strong republic. Indeed we have good reason for knowing that | the English Government have had several inter- | views with those of France and Spain, on the subject of the war with Mexico, and that pruden- tial considerations alone prevented them from undertaking an armed intervention between us. We shall, however, take the will for the deed, and act accordingly. But why should the United States alone be used as « target, to be shot at by every orator and writer in Europe 4 If the war with Mexico is the cause, have they their hands clean, when they take the part | * of censors? Are not other nations in America, as well as in Europe, at war? Let us take aj glance at the wars now being prosecuted in the world. There isa war between Buenos Ayres and Montevideo, in which the British and French both interfered, and which they have announced their determination of settling, if they can. Well, suppose they do settle it, what will follow? | Why, a war between Rosas and Brazil. In Ecusdor everything is at present quiet, but as General Flores, the President, is about to return | there, the probability is that there will be an outbreak that will lead to war, and we hope a thorough regeneration of that republic. Now let us lock across the Atlantic. There we see a war between Russia and Cir- cassia, being prosecuted with the greatest vigor, in which housands of lives have already been Jost, and many thousands more will”probably be lost before itisterminated. There is a wartoo going on between France aad Algiers for some years; one that was not commenced to pro- | cure redress for any real injuries committed or losses sustained; but which was be- | gun by Louis Philippe, with the sole view of distracting the attention of his subjects athome. Letuslook again at the prospect of peace continuing among the nations of Europe. | ‘The entente cordial between France and Eng- land, that supreme piece of nonsense, has been totally disregarded, and cast to the winds. What guarantee has the rest of the world that peace will exist between those nations for a month at a time? Truly Louis Philippe will spare no pains to prevent war; he would sacrifice the honor of France rather than engage in a fo- reign war, but what contingencies may not oc- cur on his death 2? He has reached his three score and ten; and cannot, in the order of nature, live many years more. It is the expectation of his decease, hourly and daily expected, and the outlet to glory in Algeria, that have kept France so quietas she has been for a few years; and it seems to be an understood thing that, at his de- cease, difficulty and war will ensue with Eng- land. It is a settled impression on both sides of the channel. The French people feel it, and the English Government-fear it, and is preparing for | the struggle. | Again, new differences have sprung up be- ween England and China. They wantonly at- tacked that harmless people in the first place with the view of obtaining a foothold in their territory, and have recently followed up her blow, and obtained further concessions in the | city of Canton, for the purpose of promoting trade. This is according to her old policy. She disregards principle in the pursuit of com- merce, which she will extend by all the means possible, rightful or the reverse. ‘here are in- ternal troubles in Spain and in Portugal ; Cra- | cow has been absorbed; efforts are making to annihilate the independence of Switzerland ; and Turkey—what does the Czar of Russia in- tend with her? here is a cancer on the face of Europe ; it will increase and spread so rapidly that no sovereign surgeon can cut it out. | T us Europe is preparing for a mighty revolu- tion: and England will, in a very few years, have her time pretty well occupied with Ireland and the repub icans of the continent. But to our war with Mexico. : This war will doubtless give us the eom- mand of the trade of that country. Com- merce is the great source of a nation’s great- ness, and England knows that if we had the ex- clusive control of the trade of that country, that | it would directly deprive her of a good market for her manufactures, where she has always been paid in specie. If we succeed in establish- | inga ting treaty of peace and commerce with | Mexico, the tide of precious metals, which has hitherto flowed to England, will come to the United States. This is what prompted her to confer with the governments of France and Spain, on the propriety of those three nations in- terfering between usand Mexico with force. | We thus see that there are wars and rumors of wars over the whole world—many now being prosecuted, and some in their incipiency. Yet it appears that the United Statesalone is to be sin- gled out,and made to bear the brunt of the censure of Europe. Well, let it be so. Our back is broad enough to bear it. The governments of Europe are welcome to intrigue as much as they please against us, but no armed interference or forcible intermeddling will be tolerated. It would be well for them, however—-for their reputation and honor, if they had embarked in their wars with as clean hands as we have in the war with Mexioo, or that the results which flowed from their conflicts had been as beneficial to the van- quished, and to the cause of humanity and civilization, as will be the results certain to flow from the war with Mexico. They cannot but be beneficial. We found the Mexicans, at the commencement of the war, an idle, lazy, illite- rate, degraded, priest ridden and military ridden people. Our example while there, and the | infusion of American character and energy which will follow emigration thither, will rouse them from their lethargy We shall establish iN Mar.— come to come for the purpose Eastern mail, or is on his watering place, we know not; but it is, that while heis here, ne ought to do fomething about that mail and all other mails lea ing this city. We have recently heard a version of the diffi- culty between him and the Eastern contractors, and we are disposed to believe that Cave Johnson isin the wrong. Itseems that the contractors received the sum.of six thousand dollars per year for carrying the mails from this city to Boston, but that within a short time, Mr. Johnson was in the habit of fining them at his discretion, when- ever they didnot act up to the letter of what he thought right. The contractors objected to this, and received their pay with these deductions,un- der protest. The contractexpired onthe 15th Aug. inst; and two weeks anterior to that time they no- tified the Postmaster General that, as the mails had increased since the making of the old contract, they would not make a new one for less than eight thousand dollars per year, adding that, if he agreed to give that sum, they would carry the mails with all the regulari- ty in their power, and say nothing about the amounts deducted from them under the old con- tract. To this notice, we are informed, Mr. John- son paid no attention; and the consequence was, that the mails were left on the dock at New York. This created much confusion; and at the instance of some merchants, whose business seriously suffered by the interruption of mail communication, the contractors again wrote to Mr. Johnson, repeating their proposi- tions, and giving him a week further time to reply. This second notice did not receive any attentios from Mr. Johnson, and now the day mail commusication is completely stopped be- | tween Boston and New York. These ure the facts of the case, as we heard them, and there can be but one opinion as to where the blame lies The inconvenience re- sulting from this unfortunate state of things, is felt by every man in the community. As Mr. Johnson is here on the spot, we hope he will enter into some arrangements with the contractors. We must now beg our readers to preserve their gravity for a moment or two. Cave John- son has actually got a newspaper to defend him The journal in question positively says, that he is a better postmaster than Mr. Wick- liffe was! Well, if this is not a species of praise much worse than censure, we are very much mistaken. If one egg is rotten, and another mus- ty, are we to praise the musty one, because it is not so much putrified as the one that is actually rotten?’ But why should we get eggs either musty or rotten, when we pay for good, and when we can obtain good ones in the market? This is decidedly the severest cut of all. Only think of Mr. Cave Johnson being a better post- master than Mr. Wickliffe! Why, Mr. Wicklifle ted to be a postmaster than the renowned Jemmy Maher, the public gardener, was to be President. After the death of the lamented Harrison, and until the election of Mr. Polk, there was, virtu- ally, an interregnum in the Post Office Depart- ment. We were without an actual President, and we certainly were without a Post Office. We cannot think that Mr. Johnson’s defender is in earnest. We think he wished to give him a poke in the ribs, in a-sly cunning manner, rather than to praise him. City Intelligence. Tur Weatnen.—We were visited yesterday evening, about six o'clock, P.

She received her first injury on the night of Sunday, August 15, in about latitude 38 N. and longitude 67 W. She was then lying to in a violent hurricane, under the main spencer and fore topmast stay sail, About ten minutes before twelve o’clock she was struck by a heavy squall, and careened so much that the cargo shifted, and she immediately fell upon her beam ends, the weather rail on the quarter deck being within a few feet of the water. The main and mizen masts were immediately | cut away, and the ship righted, but the cargo | burst open the hatches and floated about, crea- | ting much confusion, and increusing the im- pending danger. Within a very short time, the vessel filled, and she became water-logged, the starboard rail being under water.

On Tuesday the | sufferers descried a vessel, but the weather con- tinued so stormy that they could not indulge any hope of being aided by her, and night again overtook them in their wretched and dangerous situation. On Wednesday ’morning, however, the same vessel they hadseen on the previous | day, the brig Belize, Capt. James H. Dawes, from Boston, bound to Port au Prince, was seen bearing down to the wreck, the weather having at this time somewhat moderated. Though the | attempt to rescue the survivors was still attended with some danger, Capt. Dawes and his officers and crew bent themselves nobly to the task, and the twenty-two sufferers were safely conveyed on board the Belize. Their wants were immedi- ately and generously provided for,and the greatest attention paid to their.weak and worn-out con- dition; and the mate in relating the gener- ous conduct of Capt. Dawes, shed tears of gratitude; he said he never received such treatment. Capt.

The success which he has received, is nothing more than he deserves, and isa just tribute to his talent as an actor. His nice perception of all the characters which he personates—his accurate reading and elocution—together with his manner, are the theme of praise by all who have seen him. Last night he per- formed “ Hamlet; and it is no more than just tossy, that from the rise to the fall of the curtain, the fall of a pincould be heard in apy part of the theatre. The house was not, we regret to say, what may be term- ed large. The audience was select and fashionable, and those who attended were amply repaid. Never did we see Mr. Anderson to more advantage.

Madame Monplaisir has been a stat at ‘La Scala” during eight seasons. Then, without exag- gerating in advance, we may fortell M. Bartholomin and his company great success.

Whitney, of Broome county. 1 sent you an anal: sis of these waters yesterday,and I also described the most feasible route to this peaceful retreat. ‘I'he company here is quite as elegant as at any other watering place ; it is composed of persons who love solitude, and of hi mits; it is composed off,retired gentlemen, who ha good and lovely obiidren that are willing to be happy any where,so that they may be allowed to tend thelr dear papas. Here we need not dress for the opera for dinner, and we may play chess upon the lawn in our shirt sleeves without being anathematized or spoliated oy the exclusives ; in this elegant company there is not the counterfeit of freedom but the reality. We are 900 feet above the limpid Mohawk ; we are in an atmos- phere which is as pure as that which fills the snowy sails of the brigantines that navigate the river of the water of life. We are above the slattern world that travels on to eternity slipshod; we are above that ranting turbulent world; we are upon a moss: cup-stone—a luxuriant summit—to which, | thank God, there 18 a stepping stone for ull.

I think it is very certsin that the emigration from the crowded cities upon the seaboard aud in the interior during the hot months, will, in future years, be more ex- tensive than ever; the wealthy residents of the metro- polia and of other cities, are beginning to feel that a country residence in summer is just as nece: as @ town residence in winter; it is necessary for the health of their families. It is, therefore, the duty of the press to point out locationsin thy country, which will be suit- able for the residents of cities i This charming town, as | have already mentioned. ia situated iu a valley of about a mile in extent, its popu- lation may be 600; in it are two fine hotel churches, and a number of elegant private r itis twenty-four miles from Utica, and sixty. Albany; in {te vicinity are roads of the very best quality ; the scenery is abrupt and sublime, and Xchuy- Jer’s Lake (the Indian name for which is Canaderogua) only three miles distant from the town. I visited this lake yesterday, in company with Prof Charles Whitney; the road was excellent, and in half an hour we arrived at a hotel, which is situated upon the shore of this pretty ure or ; “ Not Katrine, in her mirror blue, Gives back her shaggy banks more true.” It is five miles long and one mile and a half wide; about half way from either shore is a green islet of seve- ral sores. It iscalled the Hermitage. Numerous yachts, filled with ladies and gentlemen, were tacking about in these bright waters, and in a few moments Mr. Filkin, the proprietor of the hotel, had heaved the anchor of a beautiful clipper; we hastened on board with rifles and piscatorial implements; we were also provided with some biscuits and @ bottle of wine. The suowy main- ail was flung to the breeze, and we shot out upon the bosom of that beautiful lake like an arrow. Awa: went the neat craft at a speed of eight knots; in haif an hour we had bagged eleven canvass backs; and in another halt hour we winged five more. It was fair tg take them upon the wing. as we often did Pretty soon we close hauled tne mainsbeets, and let 0 the anchor in a cove upon the eastern shore. Fish- ing poles and lines were immediately brought into re- quisition; and I think [ may safely say that no anglr was ever luckier than 1. We caught a fine string of trout, pickerel, and perch; and this morning the cuisine prepared them for our breakfast. The excursion was a delightful one; and, to-morrow, [ will take a good rifle. and go pee an exploring expedition around the head of thislake.

It appears by this that the whole of the expansion in loans has been confined to our city banks. This is a” very extraordinary tact; extraordinary, because itehows — that the country banks have not resorted to any expan- sion to afford facilities for the purpose of speculating in | breadstuffs. From Mey to August, in each year, is usually the period for purchasing large lots of grain, by the millers of the western part of this State; and the demands upon the banks of that section of the country, — for loans and discounts, are invariably, at this season,” very large; but such does not appear to have been the case this year,as the country banks generally have re- duoed their line ot loaus. We have no doubt but that 4 portion of the increase in the discount ne of our city banks, has been for facilities furnished flour speculators; and as that movement has pretty nearly subsided, it is possible the banks have reduced their loans to that clars of mpeculators, and the stook operators will stand a bet- ter chance of getting discounts or loans on their fancy srourities. ‘The anvexed statement exhibits the revenues of the State of Ohio, paid into the treasury of that State for the first three quarters of this year, ending August 16th,) with a comparative statement of the canal tolls for 1345, 1846 and 1847, and estimated tolls for the fourth quar- ter.
