Sudden paroxysms or violent ebullitions of feel- wg amongst small factions of unreflecting men are entitled to little importance. They are mere erup- tions on the surface of society, while the body is healthy and composed. When assemblies of men cease to deliberate, it 18 a sure indication that they have temporarily abdicated their reason. There is @n intoxication of passion as well as of wine. The one suspends the operations of reason and judg- ment agefiectually as the other. We find in the Yecent meetings respecting the rebellion losses, abundance of materials to illustrate these facts. ope we find that contagious delirium which, rough the medium of heated passion—one man communicates to others. The language of the parties expresses their disordered pass ons, not the convictions of the sober mind. Extravagant lan- gose becomes the type of ungovernable passions. uch cases, vehemence and hyperbole, accord- ing to their intensity and extravagance, indicate the mastery of the an'mal over the intellectual—of the brute over the man. Not in this epirit, however, is the question of an- mexation approached. It 1s the earnest topic of the social circle. It isa thing of which men speak, as of a family arrangement, to one another. With a great many it begins to be considered the ques- tion. Men think soberly upon it, and speculate upon its advantages, which they weigh againat the disadvantages. The last year has witnessed a complete revolution in the sentiments of at leaet one political party. ‘he question is everywhere mooted by the tones. Que of their presses, as would be seen by the extracts we published last week, has given partial expression to the growing sentiment in favor of annexation. There was no mouthing, no beating about the bush; but plain speaking, We now give another statement from an organ of that party, which unreservedly admita the “an- nexation leanings” cherished by them, and which they do not attempt to dissemble or nee secret. It is from the Montreal correspendert of the Turonto Patriot :— « The only on dit of the day, worthy of credit—you must net give any to thore mantioned in the newspa- pers—refers to the “uader current” leaning of the Angle Saxons he e towards an annexation with their brethren of the United States, unjustly and untruly attributed to them by Lord Du: bam in his time, but true as the gospel now” We have endeavoured to ascec! the causes that have led to so sudden and apparently com- plete a revolution ia the sentiments of the party whe used previously to speak so dispargingly of the American people and their institutions. The re- sult of our inquiries has been to convince us be- yond a doubt that the idea of annexing Canada to the United States nas been embraced by this party after jully examining its own position, if not that of the country. A portion of them have a stro: dislike to the existing union of the Provinces, an imsuperable objections to its continuance. An- nexatien, they argue, would dissolve the existing union, and make Upper Canada a sovereign, inde- pendent State of the American Union. A great deal it is said by these partics aboutthe superiority of the Anglo Saxon race, while the moat ridiculous tirades are vented against the imaginary and non- existing domination ot the French in Lower Ca- nada over this boastiul Anglo Saxon of Upper Ca- nada. They profess to see all sorta of hob-goblins im the realization of Mr. Lafontaine’s declaration that he will never submit to Upper Canada having # greater number of representatives than Lower Canada. Upper Canada, dissevered from ker twin sister, the cff-sprisg of (uw belle France, and placed under the protecticn of the stars and stripes, would, they believe, contain two political parties, nicely balanced as ¢ > number, and changed more 1n name than in principle. Th» accession to power of the wh'g rég/me, under General Taylor, gives them agcurance or strong hope that the policy of the federal government will give ascendancy to prin- cip!cs not far dis:i milar to those embraced in their own political creed, which they see no hope of carrying ito effect under the existing circum- stances of their colonial position. The protection- ists allege that the American tariff would insure them ample protection. That protection, they al- lege, correctly enough, no doubt, they can never hope to obtain from our Provincial Parliament. Annex Upper Canada, as a separate State to the Amencen Union, they say, and that local legisla- ture which now denies protection to domestic manfactures, will yield up to the federal govern- ment, at Washington, the right of regulatiag com- merce. Here again their hopes are excited by the elevation to the Presidency of General Taylor, whose policy, they argue, will be strictly whig, and therefore protectionist. There 1s yet another section of this party, who advance different argu- ments in favor of annexation. They see plainly that the clergy reserves will, et no distant day, be devoted to general purposes. Here they brin: torwaid all their stereotyped nonsense about veate nights, spoliation, and “robbing the Lord ;” for the high churchmen never hesitate at blasphemy it they think it will be of service to them. These 1e8, following the example of the Hon. J. H, Cameron, in his speech at the bar of the House of Assembly, against Mr. Draper’s university bill, talk about the magnanimity of the republican States, which never alienated the lands given by a pteus monarch to the Church of England. The immense revenues of Trinity Church are trequent- instanced, sometimes even in the columns of the church newspaper. From these facts they conclude, and argue to convince others, that an- nexation is the only means of preserving what they very arrogantly style their ‘ vested nghts.” It would be untfuir towards the conservatives to represent that they regard the question altogether asa party one. Other views present themselves 1o their minds, and ere dwelt upon in the contem- lation of the subject, For instance, the Murror, in remarking upon this under current of feeling, relates the following curious case of 1ts working: — Thus it is our good loyal fellow-citizens are cogitating, ruminating—whining, growling, grin- ning—aud everything but barking. They say they must aad will have annexation ; for they cannot, and wall not, do without it. One old tory we hear of to’ther day, who, aftercoming home from the indignation, d—d the Queen and Lafontaine, and swore he could stand 1 no longer. ‘ Here,” said he, ‘Lam, with a couple of thousand pouuds worth of property, on which I have been trying, for eighteen months past, to raise £150, and I'll be cursed if 1 can find a man tolend it to me. I tried cne of these new-tangled saying shops, called the Building Societies, and I found I could, wien m aurn caine, (that is, when { would be goose enoug to overbid the jatkasses who are borrowing money there,) get whut I required, at an interest which, when I carefully calculated it, 1 found would be about 35 per cent.” ‘ Now,” said our old tory, «*it Canada was annexed to the United States, f should not take $50,000 tor my property ; and be- fore a week, I could sell one-fiftieth part of it, clear myself of debt, and be independent for ever. D—n such humbug ; 1 have sucked my paws long enough ; but Pil bear itno longer. It’s against my stomach.” et : Such is a résumé of the principal arguments in favor of annexation, now so much in vogue in the gocial citcles ot one of the two political parties. ‘These arguments are regarded by muny persons, -who, though not of this political party, have no in- “nate prejudices against American institutions, as quite vitionaty. Some of these apply other and y vhoily difierent arguments in favor of the same m easure.

This fact has since been an- nounced in other papers. The correspondent of the Philadelphia North American, the organ of Mr. Clayton, says: ‘Wasninctox, March 18, 1849, excitement has been occasioned in thi received at the British egation of revolutionary movements in Cansdegro 1og out of the action of the Provincial liament the bill proposing to indemnify for losees during the border troubles.

The correspondent of the Courier and Enjuir.y also mentions the circumstance. In that paper cf yesterday we find the following :— Intelligence was received at the Department of State andthe British Embasey yesterday, stating that an |. émeute bad occurred in Canada, proceeding from ac- tion in the local parliament upon the bill providing indemnity for losees at the time of the border difficul- ties. The particulars were not furnished; and, there- fore, only s vague impreseton can be formed of the na- ture and extent of the rupture. Some apprehension bas been excited by this news, but without sufficient rearon. I have the best reasons for assuring the pub- lic thet the government, should it be deemed discreet or necessary, will adopt prompt and efficient measures to prevent any improper interference on the part of American citizens with the concerns or troubles of Canada, and to preserve the reiations of peace and good will which now exist between the United States and Great Britain. Marine Affairs, Ovrnacrovs Transaction py THE PortUcUEsE Av- THonITIEs aT Mozamsique—The American brig Ma- goun, Captain Russell, sailed from Rio Janeiro on the 19th July, 1847, under a charter to the East or West Coast ef Africa, with a lawful cargo. On the 12th of September she anchored in the river Angosha, a Moorish port; the agent of the brig madea present to the Sultan, and the cargo was discharged. The English frigate Eurydice was cruising near the mouth of the river, and om discovering the brig, sent word to the Portuguese authorities that an American vessel was in the river, On the 2lst of November, a brig and schooner, under the Portuguese flag, and twelve boats belonging to the English frigates Eurydice and Presi dent, entered the river and anchored near the brig. Captain Ruseell was ordered on board the brig of war, and his vessel seized, under the pretence that it was a Portuguese port, to which Captain Russell had to sub- mit—though he protested against the proceedings. On the 234 of November, the boats made an attack on An- goeha, and after about two hours fighting, wore driven off; the English had thirteen wounded in the affair. Shortly afterwards, the brig, in charge of a prize orew, with the Portuguese vessels, set sail for Mozambique, where she was cetained until some time last spring, without any specific charges being made egainst her. The captain was treated in a most shameful and insc. lent manner while under arrest. Annexed is one of the protests of Captain Russell:— Mozamurguz, Dec. 8, 1848, This isto certify that I, Horatio N. Russell, master of the American brig Magoun, do solemoly protest ageinst the following proceeding on the part of th Portuguese government, towards me and my ve: (having mi one protest on board ofthe brig Juan de Castro, and delivered it unto the Major command- tl ed Portuguese forces, on the eve of the 221 Nov.): ‘hat I was lying in the river of Angosha, on the 2ist of Slade 4 ', whe!

The bill had been previous- ly amended in Committee ct the Whole, ‘*s0 as to compel the Ogdensburgh Railroad to carry freight destined for the Hudson River, as cheap per mile as it bound to Boston.” The amendment propos- ed by the Speakar was, to compel the Og- densburgh Railroad to compel the Vermont Railroad, from opposite Rouse’s Point to Burling- ton, in Vermont, ‘to carry freight destined for the Hudson River, as cheap per mile as if bound to Boston.” This the House refused, because the Ogdensburgh Railroad had no control over the Vermont road, and because the charter of the Vermont Rauroad provides against any such anti- ceed discrimination. he same mistuke has occurred in other jour- nals, as well as in i fa) and it arose prebably from the complicated character of the amendment, and ite not being properly understood by the re- re tteis.

The particulars of our voyage I will write from the city of Mexico, to which place we go by wagons, and hal! be able to get our mules and horses on the road for about half the price asked here. We had no trouble at all at the custom house, as they did not even epen our trunks. They gave us permission to carry our rma, and also a license to shoot g:me on the route. The weather 1s very warm; the city is the clean- est place I have ever seen; the streets, we are told, are swept daily ; all the siae-walks are ce- mented ; the city is very healthy, and the water very goed. The Mexican people have received and treated us very well, much better than we ever expected. Our company consists of forty, chosen from among the other passengers, and we style ourselves ‘The Pacific Rangers.” I ara their leader and Fred is our p e ident.

Vera Cruz, Mexico, Feb. 10, 1849. Mr. Epiror:-— I'm bound for California, via the city{of Mexies; and supposing tbat a word from this quarter of the continent (where the American arms shone forth in all of the brilliant lustre of brilliant success and victory) might not prove uninteresting to your nu- merous readere, I send you my first despatch of pickings en route. % I found Vera Cruz and the strong and impregna- le castle of San Juan D’Uloa precisely where our gallant little army found it in March, 1847. But how changed !—The castle and its dependencies look somewhat consumptive, and bear the hag- gard countenance of rapid decline. The Tamparts are nearly divested of the ‘dogs of war.” The epray of Neptune throws its sparkling tears against its enow-like walls, as it to weep over its falling state and remembrance of other days. But not so with the city--the Dons have plugged up tne holes made in their buildings by the terrible bwmbas ot Los Americanos, and whitewashed their ‘ outer walls,” which gives the town quite a beautiful and healthy appearance. As soon as I had landed and gone through the ordeal of the custom house, I dug my way up to Bell’s Hotel, where I found my old triends and brother soldiers, Capts. Paul, of Massachusetts, and Hungerford, and Lieut. Wilson, of the New York volunteers, who were alao i command of parties destined for California. The gentlemen composing their respective parties were all in good health and fine spints. ancy left here this after- noon, at4o’clock. I cannctleave fortwo or three jays. Capt.

Jem Grant’s Arrival at Chagres--His Troubles in Crossing the Isthmus--His Impressions and Opin- tons--The Herald in New Granada, §c. §c. I thought that it would be interesting to some of your numerous readers to know the truth as re- gerds travelling over the Isthmus. I will endeavor to give itto you. We arrived at Chagres after a pleasant passage of eighteen days from New York, and landed on the 81st December. Chagres is a most miserable place, with a population of about eight hundred; you can ecarce get anything to eat, and as fora place to sleep in, that 1s next to an impossibility. It1s a complete swamp; we only remained one nightinit. We hired a canoe for 35 dollars, to tee us to Cruses, which 18 at the head of the river, and started onnew year’s day for that place, amidst the most terrible rain you ever saw. One does not know what rain 1s till he comes here. I thought a Croton pipe had burst. It seems to rain all the time. We drank yourheatth, with the compliments of the sezson, on the Chegres river, in good Scotch whiskey, to begin with. We were four days on the river, and it was raining all the time. The scenery 18 most beautiful all the way up; birds of beautiful plumage are abundant, and so very tame that those who had fowling pieces with them had capital sport, shooting all the way up. [ow as- tonished the birds seemed when one ot them w shot! It was something new to them; had they been commanded by Queen Vic. to appear and be shot in a royal manner, they could not have obey- ed her better than when they appeared before us. At last we made Cruces; it is on a small hill, with a population of about eighteen hundred, who are very little better than those at Chagres. They area miserable set of beings. ney have very little to eat, and no bed to repose on. We reclined on our trunks for want of anything better, and I remained ten days trying to get my things across to Panama; but transportation 1s difficult to be had for love or money; you can scarce get your things across, there are somany going. Mules used to be hired for $3, and now it costs from $15 to $20 load, and one hundred pounds is considered a joad. The cholera has been raging since my arrival here, and the people are pace Teipereney fae there are no doctors, and whoever,is attacked with it, lives trom eight to ten hoursonly. [thought it best to move, leaving a great maay of my things behind. Iundertook to walk acroes, but itiz the worst road—it you can callit a road—I ever saw or dreamed of. You go Tight up a very steep meuntain, with mud and water up to your knees at every step, and often when you raise your foot you leave your boot behind, and have to turn round and pull it out, empty the water, and go on again, as there is no stopping by the way. This was too muchtor some poor fellows, who were obliged to lie down, and that was the last of them. Several died oa the way. 1 gave out, but was for- tunete enough to hire a mule just in time; | could not have gone much farther. The path is just wide enough fora mule to pase, and no more, and the care with which they climb the mountain wonldesctonish you. Onthe river, the men that paddle the canoes have no clothing, and have only aemall piece of cloth, about afoot equare This constitutes their wardrobe ; and in crossing the mountain, temales have to ride in the same way asthe mendo. Itis hornd; andyou can do them a greet service, by letting them know what they have to encounter in crossing here. I saw several cross in this way, and they felt bad enough. I arrived at Panema almost exhansted, got sup- per, end wentts bed. Next morning I was attack- ed with cholera. It was soon made known that Jcm Grant, Benneti’s barber, was sick. Purser Price, of the United States Navy, got a doctor Jones, from Virginia, who 1s going to California, forme. He came ond attended me for your sake. He said that he had often heard of me, and was bappy to ree me. To both of these gentlemen Tam under a great many obligations; but it is all on your account. They think there 1s no such person as Bennett, and no such paper as the Jhrald. They both desire to be remembered to you. As s00n ag! got out again, I received an invitation to dine with the American Consul, Mr. Nelson. Of course I went, and met severel gentlemen there. Mr. Nelson inquired, m the kindest manner, after Mr. and Mrs. Bennett's and family’s health. I thanked him for you. The way they speak of the Herald igo caution. Every one here thinke that there 19 no paper worth having but the Herald. Mr. N. is very busy, on account ofthe number of Americans here, who cannot speak the lan- nage.

All kinds of money pass here ; you must try and re- gulate the currency. The weather is most delightful at present—about a8 warm as it 18 in New York in the month of Au- ust.

But here 1s 1is California news :— We stated in Fridsy’s Traveller, that we had seen a private letter from San Francisco, dated January 20th, which contained statements in respeet to the gold’ mines, exceeding, if anything, the marvellous- nessof former accounts. It having been very cour- teounly suggested by one of our cotemporaries that the whole thing was a deception, we now publish the letter entire—with » single exception—and with the name of the writer attached. It was written to relative in this cliy, and there is no room to doubt its authenticity. The original letter is in our posersion, It is postmarked at St. Louis, and came overland, no doubt; but by what partisular route, we are not informed, There is no impoasibi- lity or improbability ino letter reaching wo in atiy- five days from San Francisco. We are informed that ® pereon was in this city on Saturday, who left San Franeisco on the 23d of January! The exception to which we have alluded is a statement no less marvel- Jous than others contained in the letter; but, for pri- vate reaeons, it is withheld. San Faancisco, Jan. 20, 1849. Dear Uncle—I set myself down to write a few lines, to let you know that I am in the land of the living, and that I am now enjoying tolerably good health. While | was in the gold diggings, my health was bad for s month or so; for there we had no houses, and for the most part had to sleep on the ground or under rocks,where we could get a place. Talk of the army— I never saw half the hardships while I was inthe service that I bave scen in the gold diggins.
