From the New York Sun.
BY the steamer, (Cambria) from England,
we have as far as the Press is the exponent
of Ministerial views, evidences of the most
violent and inHammatery feelings towards
this country, not springing from any alledged
wrong dene by us to Great Britain, but from
efforts to sustain our own interests and give
security to our Southern boundary. We re-
gret to say that disappointment in the cleo
ton of our President constitutes one OF the
ingredients of this cup of bitterness, as if
England had any right to express an opinion
for or against any candidate which the SOW
reign people Of this country may see fit to
choose. We find in the Morning Chronicle
of the I'd instant, the following paragraph re-
lating 10 this country:
off Europe is desirous of seeing peace re-
established in Central America, there is but
one way of effecting it. Let the European
governments one and all, signify to the Amer
ican government their positive hostility to the
project of annexation. A combined protest
of this nature might inculcate salutary les
son of moderation on Jonathan; and once rid
of the apprehension of him as an immediate
neighbor, Mexico would soon be induced
formally to renounce claim whi ch it snow
hopeless to expect that she can ever make
good. Such course, whilst it would give
consolidation 10 Mexico and peace to Texas,
would benefit European commerce, and pre-
vent the American people from exercising,
as they are striving to do, an overshadowlng
influence over the Gulf of Mexico"
What, we would ask, has Europe TO do
with the internal and pratizan conflicts in
Central America! What has Europe to do
with the affairs of America at all? What in
terest has Russia or Austria or France in the
independence or annexation Of Texas? A
broad waste of water divides US. The
great Atlantic separates us. Upon what prn-
cple therefore can European interference be
invoked to take part against us? When the
European alliance was formed and the Con-
gress of Vienna assembled, each sovereign
had distinct and personal interest in check
ing the fierce and uncomfortable ambition of
Napoleon. Europe was one vast camp, and
each country was in arms for its own inde-
pendence, peace and security. But how are
those sovereigns to be induced to take part
with England against US? WHAT'S the strug-
gle for, and who is to be benefited by it?-
England alone. tits English influence, Eng
lish interest, English power, English broad
cloth, English markets. That avaricious
nation which has conquered and occupied
every spot on earth left unprotected against
her arms-that power which occupies nearly
all the India--which has her positions in
Al la. on
the American Continent-in the West In
dies, in China, and whether the grasp of her
Lion can secure territorial possession, com.
plains of our ambition, and solicits the 60
vernments of Europe "one and alp to inter
fere and read us lesson of moderation
Why invoke the whole world to take part
against us? why does not England alone,
chastise our ambition? Can't she do it?-
Her power and resources are vast, extensive
and controlling. Let her try it. We have
no apprehension of the European sovereigns
interfering with American concerns to streng-
then the interests OF England. We rather
think that they would protest against the in.
reference of England in the affairs of this
Continent. We ask no aid. We solicit nc
alliance with any power. We desire peace
with all the world. Peace is indispensable
to our prosperity and our happiness. But
there is not at this day people on earth who
would sooner 60 to war with any nation, and
under every disadvantage than the American
people, if they imagine that injustice had
been done to them. England calculates
from policy; the people of this country from
principle, and that spirit will always predo-
inmate. Prudent or indiscreet, whatever the
hazards or the consequences may be of war,
the American people will plunge into ii
against any power which ventures to oppress
them. If the people of Texas decline COM
ing into the American Confederacy, as a Sc,
parate and sovereign state, there is an end to
the matter. But if the people of that coun,
try are in favor of annexation, what right has
England or any European power to interfere
five have any difficulty with Mexico on the
subject, we can settle it henorably, and de-
sire to do so without being prompted or bull
lied by Europe. England desires to control
both the destinies of Texas and Mexico
We contend and will maintain that England
has NO right to interfere in our affairs. We
are, is true, somewhat divided people Oil
local affairs-fanaticism has unfurled its ban
nsr on slavery, and political interests are
waring against each other, but all will be uni
tied and consolidate at the first threat of TO-
reign aggression. England never again will
