The poorer classes, however—the ua- intelligent classes, the men with hard fists and tinewsy arms, the bone and sinew of the old world—are to a certain extent informed of the American republic, of its greatness, of liberty, and of its power on land as well as by sea, But no thanks to the European press for this, Those poor people, the working classes, are im constant com- munication with their friends or relatives, who left their native land for the purpose of enjoying the civil, social, pelivieal, and refigious liberty gaaran- tied to them here, but whieh are denied to them in the land of their f are but few of the joorer classes in Europe who do net, by means of ' Jeter, from friends, relatives, or aequaintances in | the United States, learn something of the aetual | condition end future prospects of this great repub- (tic. The intelligent (2) classes of Europe do not possess this privilege, for few if any of thes emi- grate to the United States, and the only informa- | tion which they get of America is an occasiona' prosy article in a magazine about slavery, ora dull leader in a London daily, in reference to the weak, ; Be of republican governments. | As far us ‘Turkey is concerned, therefore, the sion of the agent whom the Sublime Porte is | my | sending uz, will result in some good, for if is of | great importance that the people of even the most remote parts of the world should be acquainted with our position and prospects. But there another | view to tike ef the matter, which is more impor- | tent than the other, and the results of which will be | attended with more immediate and perm{ment, as weil as valuable, advantages to us as a commerci tl people. Let us cultivate amicable and friendly relations with Turkey and other powers, and we | can eventually acquire the largest portion of that | ‘rich commerce of the East, which was too great | # temptation for the honesty of England or the selfdenial of Russia. England has, for several years past, held the superiority im the Mediterra- neon ; but there is no reeson why it should not be taken from her, and she driven off that sea by American enterprise, as she has been from the polar seas in the whaling business. The United States have now the seme right of ingress and gress, as domestic vessels, to Russia, Turkey, Sar- dinia, Genos, Greece and England. With Franee, | Spain and Portugal we have not that privilege; bat we expect it could be aequired by a little trouble. | Let us once get that privilege from those coun- tries, and we could, without any trouble, enter upon a career of steam navigation on the Mediterranean, | that would eflectually, and in a very few years, | drive Englond off the course. England has at the present time upwards of thirty steamers engaged in the rich trade from Constantinople, Stayrna, | Alexendria, Greece, Egypt, the Tonian Islands, us | well as Sicily and Sardinia, to Italy, Franee, Por- | tuga!, england, and the north of Europe. Shall it be said that we cannot compete with Eagland in this trade? Dare it be said that, with our | experience in inland steam navigation, aad our prevent advances in traversing the ocean | by the same means, we could not in ten years monopolize the business? Our lake steam cn ft create wonder and astonishment in the miads of foreigners when they behold them; and what is | te prevent us from introducing the plaa and model oa which they are formed and conducted, in the | Mediterranean’? Nothing; and we are satisfied that it requires nothing more than to direct A meri- con enterprise towards that new field, aad the re- oults will ine short time be achieved. itis on this account, therefore, especially, that we are glad to hear of the Sublime Porte sending a cea by areport of its proceed- colum were eugaged the y in discusstng whether or t¢ yet are entitled to the the or er, whether | Y ted their offices to | serve their own pecuniary apd personal pur- pores, end, us & consequence, whether they have pot rendered them liable to in . sifeasonee wm the srmance of their de in the h of our country, has © cabinet teen subjec 1 justly fo, to such an ordeal as have Clayton, Mr. Crawford, and & cu Brroeiates a the it gation Which led to the resolution ef inquiry i their conduct, the members who moved it were locke the whole @ommunity; and in the verlet of condemna- Bon which has been rer a against them, for meh it moy cal all men, no matter to what party they me ovided they have | the eredit and repute of the « ry at heart, will srjciee. | mains be econ what course Mr Crawford will take he 1# not aware of the ac.

They are com pletely under the control of the ernment, and cen be taken at any time for the public service. It is calculated, no doubt correctly, that the crews will, for the most part, stick by the ships, happen what may. Thus, efficient war steamer in great numbers, are always ready, which eost the government comparatively little, do net excite the jealousy of other maritime powers, and which, moreover, serve to stimulate and open up new sources of commerce. This system was coremenced in 1839, when a contract wes entered into with Mr. Cunard and his associates, for the conveyance of the mails, via Halifax to Boston, in five steamers of the first class, for £55,000, or about $425,000 per annum. In 1846, the government enlarged the eontract with Mr. Cunard and his associates, by adding four ships, to run from Liverpool to New York, and in- erexsed the compensation to £145,000, or about $725,000 per annuin. Adnuuralty with the Royal Mail Steam Pucket Company, at £240,000 sterling, or €1,200,000 per annum, for fourteen steamers, to carry the mails from Southampton to the West Indies, the ports of Mexico on the Gulf, and to New Orleans, Mobile, Savannah and Charleston. Theee ships are of the largest class, and are to conform, in all respects concerning adaptation to the purposes of war, to the conditions prescribed in the Cunard contract. Another contraet has recently been entered into New York. of the largest and most eflicient description. In addition te the above, @ contract was made, first of nary, 1845, with the Peninsula and 0; ental Steom Navigation Company, for a line of sirn- ilar steamers, seven in number, from England to t last Indies and China, at £160,000 sterling, or 000 per annum. This line passes from South- ton, Vie Gibraltar aud Malta, to Alexandria, ia pt; thence the route continues overland to z, ut the head of the Red Sea, whence the stevmers ngain start, touching at A and at Point de Galle, in the Irland of whence they proceed to Singapore and q ‘There is a branch line, connecting with this, from Point de Galle to Calcutta, touching at Madras. A contract was made, firet of July, 1546, for a Pacific line of British steamers, four ia number, running from Valparaiso to Panama, touching at intermediate ports. This line connects, overland, from Panama to Chegres, with the West India m, f Ceylor ne. Resides these, there were, in 1848, twelve more lines of government steamers running between Great Britain and the continent of Evrope, making fe grand aggregate at that time, of 115 ocean steam ships, fitted for war purposes and controlled by the government. ‘This number has been since augmented. Par- liement has extended the meil steamship system to Avetralia, as well as other parts of the British do- 1 = of mail packets, must be added to the above iguree, and placed the English side of the ae- count. The French government, before the revo- | tion in 1848, hed resolved to adopt a similar mode of raising @ steam navy, and took some steps to- | wards the eecomplishment of that object, and there is de doubt that the republic will, in due time, act rigerously wpou that resolution Cur own government has lately adopted this sy= tem, to a limited extent, but still, cur ocean steam Davy is altogether insignificant, in comparisoa with that ef France or England; and locking at the vo extent of Our Coasts, we 1 puoce it to be entirely madequate to the wants of the country. ‘The report of Mr. Seeretary Baneroft, made to the Senate, 30th March, shows that at that period we bed bot three war steamers in commis: sion, With twenty-three guns inall. In addition, there were three in ordinity, to mouat foar guns eech, and a steam tug ortwo. Itis true, there ais since been ordered en addition of font @wrsteamers, | ard contracts have been eatered into by the gy | Vernment, under the authority of Congress, for venteen steamships to carry the mails from New York to Liverpool, New York to Bremen, New York to Chagres, and from Panema to San eisee ‘This evstem ehould be extended wherever there would not be en undne interference with private | enterpriee, and especially where new markets for merce could be opened up.
