From the London PuJlic Ledger.

We have received copy OF the Message 10 inc :
American Congress, and give to day such paris o.
il az are worthy of general confederation. ~ Is as
usual. glowing picture. though as tree 'om eXasc-
ration as possible, OF the influence which goou ,"s''
tutons. with a wise Government, have upon the io'
Of people. Their good effects are so precephnie
in the pre- sent instance, that they oHer ihos' =.
umphant reula,ion OF the mi. sfaoie sopn's''es
which issue oce asionally from the Imperial Presses
ot Vienna and ST. Pete, sburg. II we compare the
situation Of the Americans, as It IS descfosc III we
simpIe Language of their Presidents Message, win
that of the subj cts of their Imperial Malssies' no"
the contrast strikes us whilst It confirms those po-
litical predictions which we share IN common WIN
all lreemen. In one country, we see every '"'nb
having tendency to make man what ms Crea'o,
intended him to be- lending itsefto this grand social
consummaton- educ alton chetishediihaus-
try encouraged; person and property enjoying 'he
most perfect protection; and the populaton ,ncreas
ing with rapidy to which we can lind no PARALLEL
and what is extraordinary without the vice or mis-
cry with which ii is loo often accompanied IN o'hef
countries. We may use this language now, IN
speaking Of the Americans, without hurting the
prejudices or the pride OF single Enghshman
for their prosperity instead OF proving source OF
alarm to us, has materially contributed 10 our own
whilst their emulation in the arts which we Cultivate
in common had served only TO call ior'h the eneT-
eIes of national character MS is SO true, nd'
the wealth, commerte and power oil England, have
advanced at pace fully as rapid as that which mas
characterised the progress oil the Americans since
the establishment of their Independence Yet, Tor
half this period, We involved in war OF unpar
laieed expence; and, in spite OF this drawback we
have no reason to fear a comparison: The external
relations oil the United States present as favorable al
aspect as their domestic interests - he same spif
of Justice and moderation animates both; and The
results are the most perfect concord at home ant
abroad. Their foreign policy, as il regards Europe
consists. according to the Message. in cult'vaiinf
peace and friendship alike with all nations, and II
carefully ahstaning from all interference in thel
disputes. But this abstinence does not extend L
transactions, where European and American int
rests are mingled and here the Message takes
| lofty though NOT assuming tone. II states distinct
y thar any attempt 10 interpose by force, in the at
fairs Of the new States Of the American Continent
will be regarded hostile to the interests oil the
ned States. This important declaration is made
without the slightest air of bravado but it will tel
better on this account and The simple and almos
indirect manner in which it is made will encourag,
no European Power to slight it. In speaking OF TIL
relations with those new States, the Message con
ains novelty, except hope that it expresses tina
Portugal will speedily recognize The independents,
OF Brazil.
