The effect of the extraordinary prices which are ob-
tained in Europe for all articles of food, and of the large
supplies which we are able to furnish, is to enhance all
property in this country, and to impart a general sense of
ease and abundance. But for the expense of the Mexi-
can war, and the waste—for in an economical sense, all
monies spent in war are wasted—consequent upon it—
our cup would be full to overflowing. It is under a deep
sense that our prosperity is due in part to the calamities
of Europe, that such general and liberal efforts are mak-
ing towards relieving, as far as we may, the distresses of
Ireland and Scotland. The sum of contributions is daily
augmenting, and everywhere on the sea-board and in the
interior the same spirit prevails.

Among tilt results to which Europe, not less than
right.lfeeling Americans look with confidence, as likely to
flow from this uncommon share of prosperity—is that of
hastening resumption by the repudiating States.
