The recent new from England, rises in importance
the more il is examined, and thought upon. II
awakens IN the philosophical raind new trains o
ideas at every step.
This ne Wa presents two aspecs-ihe one develop
iag itself in England, the other IN France-Doth o
which lead 10 the most remarkabl conclusions re-
specting the relative progress and position of Eu
rope and America-not only in commerce and trade
but in society, in government, and in the march o.
the human race in the high road Of general civil
ration.
Wha, are those points IN bret
First, we have the remarkable an nouncement BY
the British government, Of the appointment of q
special Mission this country, for the purpose Of
settling all outstanding differences between the two
aations-and secondly, the equally important state
,nen,, by Louis Philippe, the French King, that 9
convention has been concluded by the Five Great
European Powers, for the maintenance OF the peace
OF Europe, and the commencement OF prudent ne
ROTATIONS for the advancement and enlargement Of
French commerce, evidently abiding to the United
States
It's very 'eviden, from these and other develop
ynents, from the remarkable revolution in the tone
Of the "London Times" and the Tory press, and
from many other isolated facts, that the Ur'ed States,
In her commercial and political relat ons, begins to
alarm the old governments OF Europe in some OF
che tenderest points of contact. How IS this!
arge portion OF the British nobility are holders OF
State stocks ana particularly that caste of the nob
Ity who are now in possession OF the administration
Of public affairs. A numerous body OF the moneta-
" and financial caste, who are ldentihed with the
conservative or tory nobility, are also holders OF the
same description Of public securities To the IN
Auencc ex ercised by these combined interests, may
Justly be ascribed the revolution in the tone OF the
leading London press towards the character, instu
tons power influence, and destiny OF this great re-

ssippi election ssstruck terror into the hearts OF
