VERPOOL INFIRMARY REPORT, AUG 30.

TUESDAY MORNING, SEPT. 2, 1845

The " small cloud in the western horizon," which
procured for Ireland the fulfilment of Sir Robert
Peel's " message of peace," by the passing of the
Maynooth Endowment Bill, has once more shown
itself ; but, on this occasion, it does not threaten
England. It comes now in the shape of an anti-
cipated war between the United States and Mexico,
the annexation of Texas being the cause of quarrel ;
and whether it is destined to he fought out on a
grand scale, or to result in mere vapourmg on the
side of one or both of the be.ligerents, it may pos-
sibly be the means of partially solving a very im-
portant question for Europe—viz., the capability of
the government of the United States for the con-
duct of warlike operations, on such a scale as would
be required to enable it to make good its somewhat
swaggering pretensions, against any great, or even

second-rate, power.
We do not purpoie here to enter at any length
into the merits of the quarrel between the two
countries, although it certainly appears to us that
Mexico has just right to complain of the conduct
of her aggressive neighbour, and will certainly re-
ceive the sympathy, if not the direct aid, of some
of the states of Europe. Upon this may, in a great
measure, depend the duration of the struggle.
In treating, however, of the probable result and of
the extent to which the energies of the United
anghae for States may probably be called out, we must neces-
sarily give a glance at the position of both belli-
vbell, from
part of the gerents. Mexico, in the first place is not strong in
is and the either warlike materials or money. But she is
strong in position, and not very assailable to that
peculiar description of warfare in which the frontier
population of the United States excel, and have oc-
casionally used with affect against ourselves in our
Canadian possessions. America can effect little in
the way of hostile incursion from. her southern
states, where she is hampered with the existence of
her slave system ; and she must therefore be driven
5 to operations from the gulf of Mexico and the
18
Aug Pacific. Such operations, however, involve on her
June
part the necessity of large supplies of money, whilst
Aug
..
1412 Mexico, acting upon the defensive and aided by
July the militias, which her government has called
June es out, can meet at all points the assaults of her
July 26
opponent, and, if not made in great force, and at
July 1 a cost almost ruinous, very possibly repel them.
At all events, she may protract the strug-
gle sufficiently long to drive the keen witted
citizens of the northern and western states to en-
-44 quire whether the acquisition of Texas is a sufficient
4 object to them, whatever it may be to the slave
7 holding states of the south, lo submit them to the
195 tnyation which will he called for, and to bear wit,

patience the loss sure to be inflicted upon their
commerce by the protraction of hostilities.
America, we must bear in mind, is not now in
the position which she occupied when she battled
with us through the War of Independence, or du-
ring our last encounter with her from 1814 to 1816.
She has a large merchant marine in every sea. Her
-haling trade is especially open to the reprisals of
- . Possibly she may be able to protect
her subjects engaged in commerce i••=•1-
