We copy the following from the mofhlh9
Herald, published some days previous to
receiving the intelligence Of the arrange
ment entered into by the Secretary Of State
aud Mr. Fox.
GREAT BRITAIN AND THE UNI
TED STATES.
A war between Great Britain and the
United States would appear inevitable,
Nothing, at all events, can prevent war,
except the most ample preparations on the
part Of this county to guard the national
honor rom violation, and to maintain, at
all hazards, the dominion of Eng land over
her North American colonies.
II would be The merest folly on the part
Of the English government, to shut Its eyes
to the fact that a war with England, when
the favorable moment shall arrive, is the
great object of Mr.. Van Buren, and his
party. The North American republicans
hope YET to subject the whole Of the vast
American continent to their sway; and the
presence of native tribes, or OF colonists
owing allegiance TO other countries, they
regard as equally PROCLAMATION OF the soil.
Throughout the federal union, there IS
bat one feeling as to the necessity, sooner
or later, of wrestling tho ca saaelHieT
Great Britain. SO long as tAe ee@s.au'a,
acknowledge the sovereignty OF Eng land,
SO long is tie federal Union liable TO dis
ruption--so long, in fact, does England
hold to a great extent, in her hands, the
fate Of her former colonies.
The conquest Of the Canadas would
scarcely be hailed with more Joy by the
loco-fooos, than would the subversion Of
the power Of the moneyed classes. The
same process, however, bids fair TO attain
both objects The Canadas can be added
TO the federal union only by conquest and
a war with Great Britain would consign
half the moneyed men in the United States
to bankruptcy. A successful war with
Great Britain, therefore, would not only
add prodaiously to the solid power of the
United States, but would transfer TO the
INTERCHANGEABLE party the entire manage
ment of public affairs.
The prospect Of extensive war with the
Burmese was becoming daily stronger.
FRANCE.
The election having resulted unfavora-
bly, to the Cabinet, the ministers again
rendered their designations on the Sth, and
it was accepted On the Goth, new min.
istry was formed, supposed TO be composed
as follows -
Marshal Soult War and President.
Theirs Foreign affairs.
Passy interior.
Human Finance.
Dupin Justice and Religion.
Duperre Marine.
Duiaure Commerce.
Sauzet Public Works.
Vilemain Public Instruction.
Among other things as the outline of
their policy, the following were presented
10 the King =
That France should declare war against
Don Carlos
That France should declare to Austria
hat she would not allow of a marriage be-
tween an Austrian prince and the young
Queen Isabella.
That the affairs of olgium be consider
ed as settled.
That the war with Mexico should be
in.
And principally, That the pres'deacc reellc
should be insisted on, or, in other words,
lhat, except on very state occasions, the
King should not preside at the council of
ministers.
To these conditions the King refused his
assent, declaring that, if necessary, he
would rather submit to be doposed but The
latest postscript says that he alterward
withdrew his refusal.
