1t has been said that no man who dies

1t is all imaginary. An enlightened pee-

Parties in Great Brita;n.-In the polit-
ical relations now existing between Great
Britain, and the United States, correct
account of the state of parties in the for
mer country, cannot but be Of great i'm
po!tance, and interest, to the people Of
the latter. In the present state Of affairs
especially, it is necessary for us to have
accurate information on this subject. On
the peculiar position of parties in Great
Britain depends the continuance Of friend
ly relations, between the British and A.
nerican Governments.
We copy from the Charleston Patriot,
the following account of the state of par-
tics as they now exist.
The real state of parties in England.
appears to be very impertec.ly understood
in the United States, while it has very
important bearing on the existing politic-
al relations between the two countries.
That the Wing party have no Inherent
strength, is obvious when the votes by
which it is sustained in the Legislature are
anaIyzed. We frequently behold the
Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel,
casting their influence in favor of their po-
Iitical adversaries, the Wings, in Parlia-
ment, while they are employing all their

Wings of the occasional support they de-.
rive iom the Conservatives, that which:
they obtain from the Radical party, and
that which they borrow from the Irish
members under the influence of Mr..
O'Connell, and it would be reduced to the
mere skeleton of a party. tits easily ex-
planned why The Conservativesvoteo occa-i
sionally with the Wings. II is with them
merely choice of evils. They prefer tho
Wings as class of Destructives less in
furious than The Radicals. The sweeping
reforms that would attend the possession,
of power by the latter. would destroy the,
British Constitution. iu the opinion Of the
Conservatives. They sustain. the Wings,
therefore, TO prevent the admission TO Of
fee and power, Of the Radicals, until
measures are ripe for their own success
sion.
That this position of parties has an i'm
portant bearing on the existing political
relations between the United States and
Great Britain, is evident on avery siitffc
reflection. The Tories are, as far as
concerns this country, most essentially
the war party. II would gladden. their
hearts TO behold the United States so torn
by intestine feuds, or so weakened in
their union and resources by foreign
war, as 10 deprive them of their influence
as an example Of successful republican,
ism. The improvements in steam are
likely TO give greater force to such an ex-
ample, in Europe, by the frequency and
rapidity Of intercourse, while our pros
perity is unimpeded. For the very same
reason, the reform party in Great Britain
particularly the ultra portion of it) wish
that example 10 work its full effects, with
no impediment from European interfer-
ence. But this remark applies with ia
creased force TO Mr.. O'Conuell and his
party. They hold the balance of power
in Parliament. A war with the United
States would not only turn back the tide
of general reform, but interfere with those
particular reforms in Ireland, which are
only as yet in their infancy, in the con-.
temptation of MIR. O'Connell and his ad:
hereats. His utmost influence, therefore,
it is rational to conclude, will be thrown
into the scale of peace, and as his sixty
votes in the House of Commons tell SO
well on division, we have an assurance.
in this position of parties in England, that
our pacific relations with that country will
receive no present interruption.
France and Mezico.-The Convention en-
tered into between Admiral Baudin, and the
Mexican Commissioner, has been ratified by
the Mexican Government Internationally.
