don and Paris, OF such nature as warrants the be-
lief that the European powers are actually contem~
plating the policy ofinterferngi in American affairs
and directing the movements OF this continent, on
the same principles, and with the same views, as
they have been managing the affairs of Europe dur
ing the past and present century. This will be in
deed new and interesting movement In political
affairs connected with this country, to which the
attention OF the American people must be called in
no trihing degree.
The excuse for this European interference in
American affairs, grows out Of the movement made
in this country for the annexation OF Texas. 1t ap-
pears that increase in the territory of the United
States, either in the direction Of Texas or towards
the west as far as Oregon, has alarmed the Euro
pean powers; and there is every reason to believe
that the British Government is endeavoring to in
duce France, and the other Governments Of the
European continent, to unite with them in some
plan of interference and control similar to that
which we have recently seen exemplihed in Greece,
in Turkey, and in Egypt. We think, from the
source through which we receive this intelligence,
that there can be little doubt of its substantial
curacy; and this belief is strengthened by the sin
gular fact, that some of the principal journals in
London and Paris, directly in the interest, and act
ing as the special organs of the Governments there,
and hostile the progress of democratic principles
are speaking out in the most emphatic manner
against the policy Of this country in regard TO
Texas, and calling for such an interference as we
have indicated The British Government dare not
carry their opposition to annexation to such an ex-
tent as to endanger the peaceful relations between
the two countries Their own manufacturing and
commercial interests, and, indeed, we may say
their internal peace, are SO dependent on the man-
tenance Of friendly intercourse with this country,
that any interruption of it would be most essen
tial evil to them. In order, however, to check the
progress and power Of the United States on this
continent, and to limit the moral influence which
the Republic exercises in Europe, we have little
doubt but the British Government are endeavoring
to form a coalition, ON the part of the European
powers, for the purpose Of intimidating our Co.
vernment and preventing the annexation of Texas
to this csnfederacy, or the extension Of terrific
ry to the Pacific, where we might interfere with
England, Russia, and other powers.
Such is the amount of the information which we
have received and we believe there is great deal
OF truth in these representations. When the recent
diplomatic developments relative to Mexico shall
have reached Europe, we have no doubt this plan
Of the foreign Governments will be more fully ma
tured, and that we shall hear more of by the next
arrival. The power and progress of this country
have struck terror into the very hearts of the mon.
archsts Of Europe, and we have doubt that great
things will soon spring out of the position which
the two continents at present occupy.
ANOTHER VETo.-We have some reason for be-
lieving that Captain Tyler will soon be under the
necessity of clappiug another veto upon law of
Congress of some Importance, which is now in
the process Of being matured, and passing both
Houses. We alude TO the Independent Treasury
Bill, which has just passed the House of Repre-
sentatives by large majority, and which will be
introduced into the Senate this week, probably to
pass there also.
tits well known that Mr.. Tyler and his admin
istration are in favor of an Exchequer system,
and we have good reason for believing that Mr..
Polk is also in favor Of similar scheme. Acting,
therefore, under the impression that the demo-
cracy in the House have merely passed this law
thus suddenly for the heroic purpose Of heading
Mr.. Polk, and stopping the present administration,
we have some reason for believing that Mr.. Tyler
will pIHck up little courage, and veto it as soon
as il passes the Senate. Another reason we can
give. The passage of this new law would be equal
to another removal of the deposites-which now
amount to seven or eight millions, and will, pro-
bably,be increased considerably in a few months
from all the banks, end private individuals in
whose hands they are. BY this law these depo-
sites must be paid in the shape of specie, which
would, of course, produce prodigous drain upon
the banks, and inevitably lead to great revulsion
in the money market.
1t will be seen, therefore, that the banking in-
terests, in order to save themselves from the dis
astrous consequences of the passage OF such law,
will, in all probability, unite in sending deputa-
tion to Washington, for the purpose of imploring
Captain Tyler to veto the bill. We expect, there
fore, some very remarkable fare-ups amongst
parties in the of few days, in consequence
of the passage Of this bill It must give rise to
great deal Of discussion before it is all over
PHrLosorHIc BEwnDERMENrs Our amable
contemporary, Philosopher Greeley, seems to be
altogether bewildered of late. 1t will be recoect-
ed that he has heretofore enjoyed very high re-
putaton in political philosophy and arithmetic, be-
ing in fact sort Of oracle amongst the whigs and
that on the nomination OF Mr. Polk he predicted
that the State of New York would give Mr.. Clay
a majority of 10000. Some of the wicked locofo-
are now pointing to that sad mistake and false
prophecy Of poor Greeley, on which he twists and
turns like fish thrown ashore by chance wave,
with its belly up,tossing and tumbling on the sandy
beach, So bewildered has he become that in his
paper of yesterday he has actually forgotten the
State which Mr.. Benton represents in the Senate,
making him an illinois Senator, and through a
whole column and an halt of contortions, endea-
vors to explain away his blunderng predictions by
accusing nine millions of the people of this cour-
try Of being " swindlers," "deceivers," " "fraudu-
lent" and calling all sorts of i'll names
Alas poor Yerick! Greeley had better devote
the remainder of his days to the culture of vegeta.
bles and Fourierism.
New LroHT VAoARIEs.-It is stated that Brown

career as radical lecturer, is now lecturing in
