| WAR OF ENGLAND AND FRANCE AGAINsr THE UNI
TED STArEs.-The war between the great govern
ments OF the old world-those of England and
france-and the United States, has fairly common.
Geo. 1t Is war of opinion-of honesty-of princi
pie-of every thing connected with the rights Of
man and the power and duties of civil governments
In this war, France and Great Britain unite against
the United States. The newspaper press of Paris
and London, and, so far as we can ascertain, the
whole provincalpress Of both countries. teen with
denunclatIons OF the policy and course of the govern
ment OF this country, with respect to the financial
affairs of the several States. There lis scarcely
sagle instance of the adoption of different tone to
be met with amongst the conductors of the public
press in either Great Britain or France
The popular effect of this universal expression of
hostility to this country, must evidently be very
great, and will be by no means confined TO the Eu-
| ropean world. By the rapid progress of steam pow
er, and the immensely increased frequency and ia
cllity OF communication, this country has been
brought within the vortex of European politics and
opinion. Besides, the annually increasing CONNER
cia greatness, population and wealth of this coun-
Try, have raised 1t TO more conspicuous position
amongst the nations of the world, and SO extended
and magnihed the character and bearings of its re-
latons to them, as to give to all the greatpubc acts
OF Its government an interest and Importance, i'm
measurably superior to those which they possessed
in the earlier days of republic. The interests of
the United States and those of the great CONNER.
cal nations Of Europe, are becoming mere and more
nearly identified. 1t is not all surprising, them that
American affairs should now occupy so much of the
attention OF the European press, and that the action
| OF government should excite as the case might
be, anxiety, alarm, or opposition.
But the influence OF public opinion in England and
France, exerted through the press, will not, as we
have said, be confined to the old world 1t must be
felt also here. Every election in this country will
be subjected more or less to influences originating
on the other side of the water. 1t is very evident
from the widespread and not very measured ex.
preston Of the prevalent views and feelings in Eu-
rope, that the war of opinion will go on with in
creased violence, until something be done here to-
wards settlement of the State debts, and final ad-
ustment Of all those questions which interrupt the
| perfect harmony and peace of the old and new
world We shall, on an early day, give some ex-
tracts from the foreign journals Illustrative of that
state of feeling and public opinion, to which we have
| now bri adverte d.
| AN ANNIVERSARY DINNER, commemorative of the
nativity Of Burns, the immortal bard OF Scotland,
was attended by company of about sixty gentle
man who sat down to sumptuous entertainment at
Clark Il Browns, on Wednesday evening last. AL
exander Watson, Esq. presided aided by V. Clire-
hugh as vice. Among the invited guests who hon.
ored the company with their presence, were Judge
Inglis, Recorder Talmadge, District Attorney Viii
ting, Signor Granja Consul General OF Mexico !;
| Judge Hogan VIM. M. Price and Salem Ducher
Esqs, the Vice President elect of the ST. Georges
Association; Secretary Of st. Patrick's Society,
| DR.. Caldwell, late surgeon of the British army
Justices Ma:sel, Lowndes, &c. The luxurious
supper having been discussed and the cloth removed
sentiment and song followed in rapid succession
from the intelligent and talented assemblage-
Messrs. Horn, Wilson, Hackett and Clirehugh in
terspersed the flow Of wit, with the most popular
songs Of Scotas bard, and the spirit stirring and in
teresting response from the invited guests were all of
the highest order Among such an asssmbage it
would be invidious to draw any distinctions, but
all departed from the feast of reason and the flow of
soul, fully determined that the attentive hosts had
prepared their portion of the entertainment that
another anniversary would cause an increase of their
| spacious hall to accommodate those who would be
| in attendance.
| COMPLIMENT TO Mr.. HoRN-We have received
a note, and also bill, printed by "T. Snowden,"
meaning the Courier office, from which we
learn that grand concert is to be given to Mr..
Horn next week, previous to his departure for
Europe. II will be recollected that the Courier"
some time since, announced its highly honorable
intention to refrain entirely from giving any notice
of foreign vocallsts who would be SO very i'll behav-
ed get their bills printed at the Herald" Office
Our code of honor, morality, and decency, is, how
| ever, very different from that Of the Courier"
We will give due merit to all candidates for public
| favor and patronage-no matter where they think
proper to get their printing done. Mr. Horn is
| gentleman of genuine talent, and musical genius,
and we cheerfully accord to him all that praise
| which he deserves. The concert is to be given on
Tuesday next, the 3lst inst, at Nblo's Saloon 1t
| will be most splendid entertainment. Selections
| from the last four new compositions by Mr.. Horn
the "Remisson of Sin," "Ahmed AL KameI," the
| Maid of Saxony," and the Christmas Bells,"
will be given perfect galaxy of musical talent is
engaged - Madame Maroncelli, Mrs. Ferguson,
| Mrs. E. Loder, Miss Lewis, Messrs. A. Philips,
Masset, II. Brooks, Maynard, with Mrs. and Mr.
Horn. full orchestra, led by Mr.. U. c. Hill, and
Mr. Timm at the Piano-forte, will render the entire
| arrangement complete. AS musical composer-a
snger-and gentleman of taste and responsibility
OF the highest order, Mr.. c. E. Horn has long since
secured troops OF friends" and admirers, and we
are disposed to think, with many others, that the
Saloon at Niblo's, commodious it is, will be
insufficient to receive the crowds who will flock to
give him parting cheer.

Of Sing Sing, who it will be remembered endeavor-
ed to abduct his wife from Sing Sing, last summer,
and more recently from Stamford, Connecticut,
where she has been remaining in order to obtain a
divorce from him, succeeded on Wednesday last in
