Since the last sem-warke advces from Mexico,
il ia quite amusing to peiuse the lucubrations of
British publicists They have, all at once, made AN
important discovery--namely, that war between
the United States and Mexico might seriously
affect British commerce and navigation. France,
Russia, and Prussia, they argue, have treaties Of
navigation with the United States, recognising the
principle of Stree ships, free goods" denied siren
uonsly by Great Britain, who will not allow the
goods of the enemy TO be carried in neutral vessels,
and contradicted by oil the decisions of her admiral

Of those treaties date us far back as the French
revolution, still is feared that France, finding it is to
her advantage 10 avafherselfof them might insist on
carrying out their stipulations--at time, TOO, when
England feels least disposed to enter upon an ar
gument on the subject. This would secure to
France (and, after her example, TO the northern
powcrs) the carrying-tradc, and put the English
maritime code 10 severe trial. Considering the
nice and delicate questions involved in this matter,
