From Hermanstadt, in Transylvania, a correspon-

that the people of Transylvania are in a state of great " A to.

The Castellano of Madrid states: that the Govern-

which indicated that the relations existing. between '..10,

the two Cabinets were not so friendly as described by ..i0 ,
the official journals. The British Minister in Portu- ~_,'s ,

Letters from Texas state that a campaign is Audio- '-oro
rised by the President into the Mexican territory 449
across the Rio Grande, to enter upon which 1,300 -c #

men are to be raised. The news of an embarkation : ,

`of troops from Vera Cruz is confirmed. Every vessel .
in that port has been seized for that purpose by the .1 oi.
Government, and 7,000 men are to be put on board ; '

runxac OPINION. •

The Chronicle. contains the following observations „ 'lsl4ll
on the subject of the American Tariff Bill :-L-" A Ta- . ,4il
td
riff Bill, which must be considered a temporary one, ~ tlttil
has at length been agreed to by the President and 4:1'4!
Congress of the United States, after one of the most
~,
~g
desperate party struggles that ever occurred in that , ~ ',1,,
country. This Act imposes high duties upon imports, :i-'
and is very nearly a return to the restrictions of /832,
but it must be regarded, as we have said, as a tempo- i ill
nary measure. It has been passed for the purpose of ,1
recruiting the finances of the Federal Government,
and in fact to save its . credit. The public treasury
would have been unable, in the present year, to meet
its engagements under the low duties, which came
into operation on the 30th of June last ; and even;
those duties, from the incompleteness of the Act of
1833, were collected in a manner of which the legs- ;
lity was contested; and was certainly doubtful. The
Tariff Act is a remedy for this pressing and almost i
desperate exigency. The American correspondent of
a Tory journal has very truly said, ' The great ques-,
tion, shall. there be a permanent protective tariff? is
yet unsettled.' . It' will' be . settled, as far as any such-,
question can; by the elections for the next Congress.;
which is to meet about fifteen months hence ; and
upon those elections we hold it to be beyond alldmilit '
that the policy of England in the interim may e'er'.
cise a considerable influence. This subject has the
closest bearing on the condition of the people of this
country, and it cannot be too frequently dwelt upon..
It is important to 'bear in, mind, that it the object of-
the late Tariff Act had been exclusively the protee-'.:
tion of American manufactures, there is every reason '.'r
to believe it would not haVe been adopted. 7,rhe Ile. '
cessity which ultimately carried it arose from the
state of the revenue."

The following is from the Times :—" We hail, as
serious and permanent: boon to this country and th'o
United States, the . termination of Lord AshburtonS
mission to America, furnishing, as it has, done, i'' • ~
peaceful settlement of a variety of questions—soq ' ''
immediately menacing; and all ministering an ever- ,o',
ready occasion, of mischief at any time when the
~',
British and American Governments found themselve4•(,'",,
hostilely disposed. . The -questions waiting' solutiol.o,
were those respecting the disputed boundary, the slave:PL.,
trade, the Creole, the Caroline, the arrest of M`liec►
r''',
and the rights of impressment and visitation at sea-7'41P•4:91,c,,

and perhaps wisely, as 'unmanageable." . •
The Post remarks, in an article on the subject
the late turn-out among the Staffordshire colliers :-4•l' '',
"We are assured that the colliers of the Stafford':', /

race, are loyal, kind, and peaceable ; and, tuoub 51,f , 1
they have in a moment of excitement and oksUfferillkthi
yielded to the .guidance of the unprincipled itin7,oll:
rants called Chartist's; they already see the C ‘ lit' 0;
they ,have committed, and are anxious to return r; ''''
habits of industry and subordination. It is, hel, ~.
ever, a general opinion that the great competitio 0
in the iron tratle, and the eager desire toproda.„cii
iron very.cheap, has' led to efforts for the reduct,l%
of the price of labour, which are inconsistent iviti:be
