The Liverpool Mail says:--"1t becomes a ques-
ton whether, If Mexico is unable 10 cope with the
graspIng ambition and military strength OF the
American Union, ii will moi he the duty Of the pow
ers Of the old world 10 come forward to her assis-
tance.'
The London Standard impudently asserts, that
"The act, (annexaton,) though an act of atrocnus
peridily, and Of most unjust violence, is not looked
upon as materially lowering the character Of The
United States for political honesty, too plainly, be-
cause that character could not be owered."
alt were invidious 10 compare the intelligence, the
honor and honesty of the prestn United States gem
GRAFTON with those of is British, German or French
contemporaries. Nothing eau be more certain than
the extraordinary moral advancement Of the pOpun-
ton of The Old World during the last so or 60 years.

The Liverpool Mercury in considering the possi-

most unfortunate. 1t was plainly the duty and the
policy Of the British Government to interfere, il that
interference had The prospect or even the chance OF

bootess sacrifice and 10 irritate the Americans by
idle meddlng, one Of those acts OF absurdiiy
which stamp a Government as imbecie. That ii
British Minister should be mistaken, so helpless
ly ignorant and utterly mis- inormed, AS to go on
moving heaven and earth prevent resolve by the
Texans, which they, or both powers, soon after un-
anmously took, is, perhaps, one of the most gross
samples Of bunder, and ignorance, and Incapacitv,

hare destroyed the character Of European ability and
