a healthy, cheerful, bracing tone to the feelings of the
community at large. The consequence was, that de-
spite the domestic troubles with which she was
so frequently beset, England was really and
truly " merrie England"—a land which could boast
as hardy, as industrious, and as happy a labouring
population as any recorded in history. Is that the
ease now ? Can it now be said with any truth of
this country, that her operatives are cheerful and
orderly her peasantry obedient, contented, and
grateful ? Let the midnight vagaries of SWING, and
the rapid spread of Chartism, which is nothing more
than the voice of the poor man's despair, make an..
sorer to this question ! The higher and the middle
classes have much—very much to answer for, in hav-
ing so long and so perversely neglected the interests of
the lower orders. If the peasant is alienated from the
landholder, and the operative from the manufacturer, it is
the latter, rather than the former, that are to blame for
such estrangement. When men are treated as slaves they
will exhibit the vices of slaves—when they are treated
as raere machines, they will exhibit the insensibility
of machines. To draw forth the kindlier and nobler
feelings of their naturerryett -must treat them with
respect—with forbearance—with humanity. This is
not only an act of duty, but an act also of the most
consummate policy, since there can be no sure
guarantee for the permanent tranquillity of a
country where the *vast mass of the working
classes are kept in a state of subordination, not
from respect nor gratitude, but solely from an
apprehension of punishment. Fortunately, the higher
and middle classes of society are at length awakening
to a conviction of this truth; and we do hope and be-
lieve that the period is not far distant when the poor,
oppressed workman will no longer be able to say with
any truth, that he is treated with neglect and insult by
those who should be his best friends and benefactors.

are convinced, is too stout and constitutional a citizen
ever to allow the late PRESIDENT'S flimsy pretexts to
veil from the eyes of his countrymen the real objects
of personal ambition and sordid self-aggrandisement
Which have been assumed in order to conceal. He
then puts the "annexation" question home:--
"I speak my convictions without concealment, not for
the north or the south, but for the Union, as an Ame-
rican citizen. As to this proposition of enlargment of
territory, I would ask, for what interest of our country
is it designed ? What good is it to effect to the people
at large ? In regard to the measure, I have no hesita-
tion in saying, my opposition is neither temporary in
measure or character. It would be the same in the con-
tingency of the assent of Mexico or without. Strip the
question of all disguises, and the great fundamental and
only object is apparent. It is the extension of slavery in
these United States, and the enlargement of the slave
power. Now I submit it to the south as to the north, if
any good is to be gained to the Union by this result ?"
Now let us mark what follows. Here is the vaunted
" Young Republic of the West"—the model country
of freedom—the State which is said to have been
born, tO exist now, and in all time hereafter to exist—
of, and by, and fur, freedom and its rights all over
the world, thus exhibited by one of her ablest ci-devant
Ministers, as not simply tolerating what some may be
weak enough to believe the entailed political necessity
of continuing to hold scores of thousands of human
beings in slavery where they already existed in that
condition in certain States at the time of their admis-
sion into the Federal Union; but, as now, and for some
time past, actually intriguing, paltering, and languish-
ing for a larger investment in this hideous property of
human flesh:—

"Is there anything desirable in the creation of new
slave states, and the extension of slave power ? The
only motive and the only object has been, and now is,
the extension of slave territory. I assert this distinctly,
upon the strength of what I know. It is a fact not to
be denied—the stern and solemn truth, sustained by
indisputable evidence. 'The documents called forth by
the proposition prove it ; the language of the Secretary
of State points to it in as many words."
Mr. WEBSTER is a plain spoken man, and thus un-
reservedly shows up the new Transatlantic "Polka''
movement :

There is so much of fairness in the following ar-
ticle of Saturday's Journal des Debats, on the French
operations in Morocco, that we willingly transfer it
to our columns :

" That the nomination of Mr. Polk turned upon this
Texas annexation point cannot be doubted. If we had
not heard of Texas we should never have heard of Polk.
The words go together, just as Castor and Pollux. It
is not necessary to argue that point for the purpose of
proving the connexion. It is plain enough as it is, and
it is an insult to the people to assert otherwise. Mr.
Polk was nominated, because he was the unequivocal
committed friend of immediate and unconditional an-
nexation, and for no other reason. Remember it, and I
tell you to-day, if Polk is elected, annexation certainly
and inevitably follows! The same tide of public opinion
which could bear him into office would give him a Con-
gress subservient to his views, and entail Texas upon us
for ever.

" The Chambers were still open when, through the
aggressions of the troops of Abderrhaman, hostilities
broke out with the Moors. The Government was inter-
rogated ; and from the tribune of the two Chambers it
formally declared that it was not its intention to make a
war of conquest upon Morocco. All the world was cog-
nisant of this declaration—it was recorded in all th,t
journals—by the organs even of the Opposition it was
approved. Our astonishment, therefore, has not been
slight at finding the .National, as if it, alone, were igno-
rant of what had been done and acknowledged in the
Chambers, talking of the confidential promises made to
England, and preparing itself, by anticipation, to accuse
the Government of treason and of cowardice, in a case
where Morocco having submitted, and accepted our con-
ditions, France would abandon the ports which the
war would have compelled it to occupy. No ! There
have been no " confidential promises"—there has been a
declaration publicly made ; and this, as coming from a
legal Government, is what we shall consider as a sacred
engagement. No. The Government does not wish to
make conquests and definitive establishments in Mo-
rocco. To dream of enlarging our possessions in Africa,
at a time when Algeria presses already so heavily on our
budget—this would be madness. We occupy the island
of M gadore. It is the Government—this truckling and
timorous Government—which has issued orders to the
PI ijace de Joinville to establish a garrison up(,n it. We
occSpy it, however, but provisionally, as an object of the
war—not as an object of conquest. Once again, this is
hat has been said and acknowledged, already upwards
of a month since, in the presence of the Chambers, in the
face of the country and of all Europe, and with the gene-
ral approbation! And if the National, almost exclusively
found this policy base and unworthy, why did it require
i month to make such a declaration ?

A very " pretty iniquity" all this bespeaks in the
" Loco-feed' party. They must manage well if they
deceive the vigilance of Mr. WEBSTER ; and the Ame-
rican people ought to consider themselves deeply in-
debted to that gentleman for the direct and honest
tone in which he has laid bare the TYLER Texas con-
spiracy to their convictions, and (we trust) to their
contempt.

The news from Spaideomes down to the 25th ult.
Accounts from Madrid, to the 24th, represent
that city as perfectly tranquil. Their Majesties, the
two QUERNS, had been waited on by the corps diplo-
matique, to congratulate them on their return to the
Spanish capital.
News of the bombardment of Mogadore had
reached Madrid, at the date of these advices, and the
Prince DR JOINVILLR was said to have returned be-
fore Tangiers. According to the renewed declara-
tion of the Globe, peace had been concluded between
Spain and Morocco.
The other news from Madrid may be thus summed
up :—The Three per Cents. were done at 27 7-16,
at sixty days;; the Five per Cents. at 20; and
the Floating Debt at 61i, at sixty days.
CORDOVA had been designated to act as Captain-
General of the province, in the absence of M. MA-
ZARREDE, and QuINTIN VELASCO, a brigadier of en-
gineers, had been appointed military commander.
The grand levee, held at the palace on the 25th
ult., in honour of the feast of the Infant Donna
LUISA, sister of Queen ISABELLA, was of the most
brilliant description ; and the whole assemblage
were struck, we are told, with the healthful ap-
pearance of both guRENS. M. MAZARREDE was ex-
pected to forward his resignation of the the post of
Captain-General -of Madrid, from the Pyrenees,
whither he had proceeded to drink the waters. It is
imputed to him that he was the main occasion of the
discontents lately manifested by the troops in garri-
son, at Madrid, swing to his general mismanagement
of affairs; and particularly his suspicious nature,
which is assert& to have kept them constantly on
the qui vise, without any adepuate motive or justifi •
cation.

" The Government feels after the battle of Isly, and
the capture of Mogadore, just what it felt before these
events, it was not fear which extorted from it the declar-
ation, at the commencement of these hostilities, that, be
their result what it might, it did not mean to exact from
Morocco a cession of towns or of territories. The mu-
ti‘ es which actuated Government to make this decl
ration then, still actuate it now. It always had them—it
has them at this moment—it will continue always 'o have
them. These are—the interest of France—the good
;prise which wills not that we should engage, in Africa,
all the forces of our budget, of our army, of our navy.
Our fleets and our soldiers have covered themselves with
glory. The Government expected of them as much.
rhe war is pushed with vigour; and without wishing to
detract from the Prince de Joinville or the Marshal
13ugcad one fraction of the honour which has accrued
to them, we are yet bound to say, that that which they
have done they had their orders to do. They hare
nobly executed those instructions. France demands repa-
rations and guarantees : she will obtain them ; and this
last blow assures, perhaps for ever, the security of Alge-
ria. This object is sufficiently great; the Government and
France pursue none other. If the Government afterhaving
recorded at the outbreak of the war a solemn declara-
tion that it had no intentions of territorial aggrandise-
ment, were all at once emboldened by success to set up
other and ulterior pretensions—this would be what we
should term, not simply disloyalty to pledges, but base-
ness and cowardice ; for it might reasonably be ima-
gined that Government had only awaited this success in
order to make such further pretensions. When a
country like France embarks in a war with a country
like Morocco, the issue of that war is no doubtful one.
We shall ask no more at its termination than we did at
its commencement. There was no necessity, therefore,
for the National to affect the mysterious. It was aware
of the intentions of the Government. It knew, as all
the world did, that we do not wage war with a view to
the conquest of Morocco, .but only to impose peace, and
to command respect for our presence among a barCarow
people. At any rate, if it be true that the National
does not want collision with England, we are rejoiced t,
have apprised him that the moment of that collision has
not yet arrived—God be thanked !"

We note, with satisfaction, a somewhat modified—
if it be not yet a friendly—tone, in the observations
of the French journals of Saturday last, on th• pro-
gress of events in Morocco, and their influence upon
the relations between France and England. The
Debate is almost facetious on some of the inconsis-
tencies which it assumes to have detected in the
lucubrations of'some of our morning Contemporaries,
here, in their mode of treating these questions. The
Globe eulogises the juster appreciation which has
been formed of them by the men of sounder reason in
both kingdoms. The National somewhat sarcastically
qualifies its congratulations to the English press on
its return to views of " moderation and good sense,"
by the remark that " this return would have been
more meritorious, had .it taken place a few days'
sooner, and before the battles of Mogadore and Isly.'
The following extracts are sufficiently characteristic.
the Debuts, after observing on the extreme atten-
tion with which the operations of the French squadron
on the coast of Africa are watched, here, adds—
" There is nothing in that which can surprise us, or
at which we ought to take offence. The war which we
wage on the Emperor of Morocco is a far more im-

It is really a gratifying novelty to find in those
American journals which devote themselves to the
discussion of what may be called local politics, any
sound and well reasoned, calm, and dispassionate exa-
minatior., of great national questions. On the other
side of the Atlantic party spirit and political excite-
ment attain to such habitual excess, that it is often
impossible to discover a single break in the strain of
exaggeration and declamatory violence with which
the organs of the several parties in Congress and out
of it advocate their own views, or denounce those
hich have been advanced by others. Independently
of the weariness which this monotonous grandilo •
quence inflicts on us who peruse it, a distance of more
than two thousand 'miles from the scene o;•
those events and that business to which it is
addressed, the sensation it produces upon
European readers is one of annoyance rather than
of amusement, and fairly repulses, instead of pro-
voking, curiosity. But there is one eminent excep
tion to the application of this remark. A State paper,
a letter, or a reported speech from Mr. DANIEL.
WEBSTER, is sure to repay the most careful and at-
tentive perusal by its manifestation of many sterling
points of excellence. There is generally a plain, manly,
grave simplicity about them. This strongly con-
trasts with the vicious and inflated style that so largely
pervades the forensic and diplomatic efforts of Ame-
rican statesmen and lawyers. Mr. WEBSTER seems
always in earnest, and, therefore, to appeal rather to
the reason and cool judgment of the public, than the
awakened passions, or the transient influence, of a
faction. Ile is one of the few public men in the
United States actively engaged in the affairs that form
the current matters of political controversy, who
never shrink from looking at the truth, whether it
happen to square, or not, with the views and opinions
he has previously advocated. One seems to listen to

poriant matter to the English than that which they
waged with the Emperor of China could be to us. There
is not, whatever may be said, any parallel to be drawn
between the island of Mogadore and that of Hong-Kong.
If England had thought it right to take possession of
the whole Celestial Empire, we should not have con-
ceived any uneasiness for Marseilles or Toulon; but if
France should occupy in a permanent manner Tangiers or
Morocco, England would assuredly have some reason to be
uneasy. We therefore comprehend perfectly well the
sentiment of disquietude which is manifested by certain
English journals, but we regret for them that they do not
express it more reasonably, and that they do not better
know how to dissemble their jealousy or ill humour. It
must, however, be allowed that they do not all employ
the same language. The more sensible ones, such as
speak to men's reason, and not to their passions, as the
Morning Herald and the Standard, make no difficulty in
avowing that France is in her right—that patience, mode-
ration, and justice are entirely on her side. But there
are others, which not being able to contest the evident
right of France, have recourse to hypotheses,
and take the trouble of reasoning, or rather
not reasoning, on eventualities which to all
appearance will never take place. The Times,
for instance, is disagreeably affected by the occupation
of the island of Mogadore, and that prima facie appears
to it suspicious. However, after reflecting maturely, it
at last discovers that there is nothing to object to. But
if France were to take possession of other points of the
territory, if it should transform its provisional occupa-
tion into a permanent one, if it should turn Morocco into
a second Algeria, oh ! then that would be a grave case,
and England ought to demand explanations and repara-
tions. Why does not the Times say that if a French
squadron should go and bombard the Tower of London
or St. Katherine's docks, the English Government would
demand explanations ? Since it is in the vein of hypo-
thesis—why stop short when going on so well ? The
French Government has declared ten times over that it
has not the slightest intention to aggrandise its territory,
and that, if it were forced to take it, it would not keep it."
The Globe says :
"It will be seen by our extracts from the London
journals how far the reasoning of men of consideration
in France and England has dispersed those absurd va-
pourings of war which have obscured certain heated
brains. The fact is, that great affairs are like the ancient
poets ; they hate a crowd, and retire from it, because it
is passionate and tumultuous, while they have need of
calmness and:moderation."

his reasoning without that painful prepossession of
distrust and suspicion which insensibly prejudices us
against others whose habit it is to attempt to make
up for the weakness of their argument, or the feeble-
ness of their cause, by violence of gesticulation and
over-coloured statement. We must also concede to
Mr. WEBSTER'S speeches, for the most part, the merit
of a certain freshness and an argumentative serious-
ness, that are by no means every-day excellencies on
this side of the water or on that.

The address delivered by this gentleman at Spring-
field, on the 9th ultimo, as given in the American
papers, is important at the present juncture on very
many accounts. It is a distinct and stern sentence
of condemnation on the political profligacy of Mr.
TYLER, and a searching and almost contemp-
tuous exposure of the disqualifications of that
individual's nominee, Mr. POLK, for the office
of President. The reckless violence on the
United States' constitution—the wanton and wicked
perilling of the country's best guarantees for peace, and
the permanency of its institutions, to be found in the
maintenance of its existing relations with this coun-
try and other States—which Mr. TYLER and his cabal
were prepared to commit and to hazard in order to
carry out their schemes for the annexation of Texas
to the United States territories, and the increase and
consolidation of slavery and " the slave power," as
Mr. WEBSTER terms it—these points are
forcibly and perspicuously laboured. For the
United States we draw from these passages a most
favourable augury. We may venture to hope that
the American people will escape the dangers and the
disgraces, we will add, into which such counsels as
those which have so long and so mischievously swayed
he official career of Mr. Try. htr. WEBSTSI3, We

The National remarks that " the English press has
completely ceased joking about the skill of our marine
artillerymen ; the Times itself no longer says that the
tricolour flag has dishonoured itself in Africa, and its
rhodomontades have given place to the most pacific
reflections." And it declares its opinion that except-
ing only two of the London journals, " which fire up
more and more, and which even go so far as to pre-
tend that England cannot, without dishonour, abstain
from repressing by force the occupation of Mogadore,
all the other organs appear to have recovered the use
of reason, and acknowledge—first, that France had
a perfect right to do what she has done ; secondly,
that the victories of our troops, instead of proving a
brand of discord in Europe, are a guarantee forpeace."
In Galignanis Messenger we have this notice :
" Some of the Opposition journals state on the faith
of accounts from Morocco, that munitions of English

manufacture were found both at Mogadore, and among
the stores in the Moorish camp, captured by Marshal
BUGEAUD." We take leave to doubt the fact; of the
animus with which the statement is put forward, there
can be no doubt. But even if the case should turn
out to be precisely conformable to the announcement
of the French Opposition journals ; what then ?
Will they point out any treaty or obligation into
which we have entered with France, or any other
European Power, not to supply Morocco, with which
empire we have long had a considerable trade, with
arms and munition of war of British manufacture, if
the Government, or the subjects of the EMPEROR
should need them ? We spak more particularly of
that long interval, but just now interrupted, in which
our ally, the Moroquin SOVEREIGN, was at peace with
almost every other European state as well as our
own. We suspect that military arms and munitions
form a considerable portion of our exports, at all
times, to these African independencies. Besides, the
state parasol captured in the baggage of the Eu-
rEßoa's son, turns out to have been made in Paris !
We cry " quits !"

There were late accounts in town this morning from
the Cape of Good Hope, namely, to very nearly the end
of June. A Government minute had been issued by
order of Sir Peregrine Maitland, for the purpose of
encouraging the arrivals of mechanics, labourers, &c.,
to the colony, where hands of almost all descriptions
were very much wanted. From statistics that have been
made out respecting the wo:)1 produce, this important fact
is elicited:—ln the three months before the present state-
ment was completed, the exports of the flour from the
Cape amounted to 847,5141b5. In the same period of
time ten years since the shipments were but 52,7921b5.,
showing an increase of at least sixteen times. The
general exports from the colony were also on the ad-
vance, wines perhaps excepted. On the coast there were
about 40 vessels taking in guano. It is asserted upon com-
petent authority that one mercantile firm has cleared not
less than 20,0001. to 25,000/. by being first in the field
and importing the new manure into Portland. From
Natal, the advices received on the present occasion are
not of any interest.
The following letters have been addressed to the agent
for New Granada, to which his Excellency has not
deigned to reply

FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, AUG. 29.—His Majesty the King will go
shortly to the camp at Beverloo.
The King will go into mourning for 11 days on occa-
sion of the death of her Imperial Highness the Grand
Duchess Alexandra, consort of Prince Frederick of
Hesse Cassel.

On the 27th the Minerva, Captain Theissing, arrived
at Antwerp, having on board the crew of the English
brig the Providence, of Newcastle, Captain Elliot, bound
from Memel to Boston, in England, which was aban-
doned on the 20th inst. It seems that Captain Elliot was
on the 16th of August in the Cattegat, where he was
run down in the middle of the night by a large vessel,
which carried away her bowsprit, and proceeded on
her voyage. Captain Elliot could not distinguish to
what nation it belonged. The men immediately
hastened to the pumps, and found that the Pro-
vidence was quite dry. It was not till the nth that
it sprung a leak, and that water rose so rapidly that the
crew was obliged to make their escape in the long-boat,
the ship threatening to sink every moment. They were
at that time 120 leagues west of the coast of Norway.
After being tossed about for two days, they had the good
fortune to fall in with the Hanoverian barque the
Minerva, the captain of which took them on board, and
afforded them all the assistance that their situation re-
quired.
BRUSSELS, Auc. 30.—The King and Queen of the
Netherlands have arrived at Weimar, the King on the
27th in the evening, and the Queen on the morning of
the 28th. On the 28th a destructive fire broke out in the
fine cloth manufactory of M. Hofermans, at Dixon, near
Verviers. The upper part of the building, containing
the machinery, was destroyed. The two neighbouring
manufactories of Messrs. Bleyforast and Desart sustained
some injury from the measures taken to preserve them
from the fire. The loss is estimated at 15,000 or 20,000
francs.. The whole is insured.

" 18, Austin Friars, Aug. 14.
" Sir,—The Committee of Spanish American bond-
holders beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of
the sth inst.
" By a letter received from you by this Committee,
dated Paris, July 22, 1843, it appeared that you had
then under your charge the sum of 291,621 dollars,
which had been from time to time remitted to England
for the purpose of being applied to the payment of the
interest on the portion of the Colombian Foreign Debt
appertaining to New Granada, the same being derived
from the portion of the Custom-house revenue appro-
priated by Congress to this purpose.
" As this fund has of necessity received some augmen-
tation during the intervening period, the Committee are
desirous of now being informed what the sum at this
moment is in your custody. That this information
should be withheld from the bondholders, the Com-
mittee :are persuaded you will, on consideration, see
there can be no ground whatever. The money in question
has been set apart by a decree of the Congress of
New Granada specially for the payment of the bond-
holders, it has been remitted to England for that pur-
pose; and that information should be withheld from the
bond-holders of the amount thereof now in hand in
London, is a circumstance for which the Committee
could not have been prepared. The Committee earnestly
request the favour of a distinct communication in answer
to their inquiry for the information of the bondholders.
—I have the honour, &c.

" M. M. Mosquera, Esq."
" 13, Austin Friars, Aug. 22.
" Sir, I am directed by the Committee of Spanish
American bondholders to request the favour of an
answer to their letter of the 14th inst. I have the
honour, &c.

" M. M. Mosquera."
The Committee of Spanish American bondholders,
from whom these letters emanated, ought not again to
put themselves in correspondence with M. Mosquera.
In the " City Article" of Saturday, a singular misprint
occurred. It is there stated that the Wellington, Captain
Chadwick, " has just come up the river, with a fine cargo
of British manufactures, from New York." Quite the
contrary, she has just left for New York, with an excel-
lent cargo of British goods.
The Consul Market opened this orning with great
firmness, and the price touched 99, but a sale of 50,0001.
by an influential broker caused a reduction to 98. for
Money, and to 981 for the Account. There is not any
news of interest from the Continent this morning. The
present price is 98i both Transfer, to-morrow, and for
Account. The price of Exchequer Bills is at 755. to 735.
premium. The other Stocks are a trifle lower than
yesterday.
The alterations in the Foreign Funds have been very
slight. Mexican, Dutch, and Brazilian Bonds have been
flat. Spanish Consols are quoted at 221 ; and the Three
per Cents. at 33s 1.
The principal changes in the Share Market have bet n
a rise in London and Birmingham RitilA ay to 122 prem.,
and in the Great Western to 65 prem. The other shales
are much the same as on Saturday.
