Weekly national intelligencer. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1841-1869, 1845-04-19
LATE FROM EUROPE.

We copy below the most interesting portions of the
intelligence brought by her, as it is given in the
New York Commercial Advertiser:
TEXAS, &c.
The final passage of the annexing resolutions
was known in London on the Goth of March, and
of course afforded material for some newspaper
thunder. We have before MS at present but two
Journals (the Standard and Chronicle,) and it is
amusing to see how the subject is dealt with, not
on its own merits or consequences, but as a theme
for (English) party discussion. The Chronicle
makes great noise about il, but only for the sake
of having fling at the present Ministry, and giving
little glorifcation to Lord Palmerston. 1t says:
"We confess that much mortified than sur
prsed find this question terminated like all others in which
the Tory administration had combat the arts or ambition Of
foreign and of rival Powers that is by the total discontinue
of British interests and views whether dictated by feelings Of
justice, Of security, or Of humanity.
The question Of the independence absorption Of Texas
handed to the Tory Government fair field for
the exeon of their diplomatic Skill and Of the hundred
means at Governments disposal for the working out Of its
ends In these the Tory Government has mseraby failed
sThe American Government have decided upon the an
nexaton Of this immense country, containing three hundred
thousand square miles, and about establish that
region their system of slave cultivation II was, indeed,
fined to its exhausted SOILS have declined and
natural death at ncaculabe interval of time bu which
now, having secured to it most ample and rot
be expected pause till it fills the whole territory ne Pacific,
and deluges the New World, from which it had been partly
stayed or driven, with its flood of misery and crime"
The Standard of course thinks tina the British
Ministry did well not to take any decided course Of
opposition, for which it assigns dversgood reasons.
For instance:
If the Texans, about co 900 white Inhabitants are de-
srous to incorporate themselves the Northern Union, we
do not who has either the right the power to hinder
them still less guess motive for interfering in the
natter for it is much better for all saes the United States
excepted, that the Southwestern Territory should be open to
all attacks and psas provoked by the United States than
that should the purpose of the Republic, under the
disguise of false Independence and neutrality"
With reference to the Oregon question, the STAN
dard says:
is not impossible that the States may have enough
do in putting Texas order, give look about
At all events, trust that Ministers will not give them
any help by rash departure from the somnolent and silent
system, which, nconvenent may be for newspapers and
opposition orators often of wonderful utility in diplomacy
well as in war"
THE PRESIDENTS INAUGURAL.

the London papers of the 26th, and received with
considerable degree of editorial civity. The
scrbes seem all to have been decidedly pleased with
its comparative brevty. but, far as have seen,
conhne themselves mainly to an abstract Of its con-
tents, with only occasional remark.
The most emphatic comment is that OF the
Ifmes-limlted however. to that part OF the mes
sage which relates to annexation, and applicable ra-
Their to the subject itself than to what Mr.. Polk says
about it. After advertng to Mr.. Tyler's haste in
sending oil spectral messenger with the resolutions,
the Times adds
"The President However, is far from quauelng with
his hereditary task His only complaint probably is that he
not allowed to initiate well carry One could
almost fear from the tone of his address, that he is minded to
make up for this wrong by starting project two Of his
The tone of President needs be lofty He
must dignity which is not conceded, and he would
only be misunderstood and despsed by his owcitizens if
he adopted the conventional coueses and humes of Euro
pean Potentaes His office is the honorable earth
his responsibility is the greatest.
To disturb the unanimty of the Federal Union, for
imagined object Of morality, is the most supendous crime
of which human nature be guilty Toextend that Union
indefinitely in oil directions, is the citizens first and nobest
instinct be comprehended in it the greatest felicity that
happen to any Of men, II is the only security for
peace All this may much te but in the old world
it is the language of who not conducting but found
ing empire.
''We in the old world have long since chassed one

Difference The President overawed by the presence Of
sovereign Power the length and breadth Of his continent
Hence he feels ndecency in expressing, in clarifying every
aggressive impulse of the heart The CITIZEN he says, must
rejoice when frontier line is removed when he
nicae freely commercially and politically, with his neghbors
without the restrictions Of trade, the interference Of foreign
Claims and foreign politics and morals When such roic-
ings are arguments then may reasonably fear for the nv
dous frontier line of the ST. Lawrence not to speak Of that
other on the westward Of the Rocky Mountains But other
difficulties will arise before that day.
'Neither democracy federation solve the great
problem Of society Government is not easy task The
creature Of mob election addressing his creators may talk
m the same breath of clustering all nations in constitutional
unity and nterdicting moral and religious interference be-
tween the inhabitants Of adjacent Valleys but human nature
has assigned less SYSTEM and spiritual influences
She will soon detect the hoowness of union without unity
and of political combination that aims embrace the world,
while il afraid to interfere with the grosses social couup
lions in its own bosom.
