The following from the New York Herald ol
Thursday, gives brilliant coup d 9N OF inc
deeply interesting news from Europe. we COT
daily concur with the Herald's compliment TO
The thigh, elevated bold and independent posi-
lion ana policy assumed by Mr.. Calhoun" So
far from war being produced BY the annexation
of Texas, as predicted BY the croaking Wings,
that great measure is in every way calculated to
give us higher position in the eyes OF Inc
world, and, what is of vast importance, TO antlc
rs al home:
"Tne late highly important nelcS from Europc-
.Ner Posttiop ~ England aud dmerica.
"The news from Europe by the Cambria, and
of which we give as usual, full and careful re-
sumo is ofthe greatest interest in political, COM
mercial, and even theatrical point OF view. Eng
land maniests towards the United States The most
friendly and conciliatory aspect-and is reducing
The taxes on articles OF commerce
"Not syllable has been uttered in Parliament
against Mr.. Calhoun'S famous letter and policy.
We had anticipated perfect outburst of British
feeling against the policy ofour government on the
Texas question. To our utter astonishment the
indications have been Of an exactly opposite cha
racter Everything indicates the most concliato-
nv and friendly disposition on the part OF Great
Britain towards this country. II is perfectly clear
that the high, bold and independent policy Of MIR.
Calhoun has brought John Bull to his senses. He
finds that he cannot afford 10 quarrel with This
country, and smilngy assenls that we should go
on increasing our territory 10 our hearts content.
Instead of flying into a passion, and talking Of
war, John Bull extends The hand Of friendship 10
us-exprcsses his desire 10 extend and perpeluate
the most friendly relations between the two coun-
lries-and has actually already made a move
ment for the formation of new commercial
treaty OF mutual good will and advantage. Free
trade, TOO is advancing in England, and alto
selher this intelligence from Europe is crafty
ing, cheering, and full Of promise in every point
of view, political and commercial.
"Such then, has been The effect of the moral
influence created and exercised BIZ the high, ee-
vated bold and independent position and policy
assumed bv Mr. Calhoun. His place is now oc-
cupied By Mr. Buchanan Let him see TO il that
he ponders well npon his position, and that of
his country, al this important crisis. Lei him
see TO it, that he maintains this country in its pre-
sent dignilied and influential position as regards
its foreign relations. The destinies OF this land,
and the fortunes of free government, for many
years to come, are now dependent on The wise,
just and bold direction Of the foreign policy OF the
General Government"
