MEXICAN PRIvATEERlNG.

Apprehensions, we observe, seem TO be enter
tanned in some quarters, that, in the case oil any
serious difficulties between the United States
and Mexico, dur maritime commerce will suhe'
from the depredations. not OF Mexican pnVa-
Ieers armed by Mexcans, but of prlvsteers un'
der the Mexican flag, armed and manned by
Europeans This apprehension assumes
what is true, that Mexico has neither ships
nor seamen Of her own with which 10
cruise against the commerce oil The unl-
ted States and that she Is, by commission
10 foreigners, TO let loose against US swanm' oil
pirates and privateersmen belonging 10 the
English, Spanish, French, or Others, IN Anne
rics or Europe. We do not believe any hostlll'
Ties are TO occur between the two Republics ;
and we deprecate The occurrence OF such an
event; but, if il should take place, sure We are
that the United States has the power TO guard
against the particular evil in question, by
resolving, in advance, TO treat all such Tor
eign privateers, assuming 10 cruise under
the Mexican flag as mere pirates. II true TO
itself, las We cannot doubt our Government
will be- il viii not tolerate British any other
foreign cruising against our commerV, under
cover of Mexican commissions. Neither the
spirit of the times, nor the actual state oil
public law, can countensnce any such extern
sion of the right Of pIiva,eering. We
know well that Great Britain and the
other maritime States desire the friend
ship Of this country and have no idea OF loosing
IL for any consideration which regards Texas
and Mexico. IL needs only that they distinctly
understand our view Of this question ; that If
they permit their seamen 10 commit depreda-
lions against our commerce, We mean 10 cons-
der such permission a breach of neutrality on
the part Of the Government granting il, and to
treat the cruisers themselves as denationallsed
and without the protection of their own
Government this being well understood
we need fear nothing from foreign pnva-
teersmen under the commission and flag Of
Mexico. The imperfect organization of the
Republics of Spanish America their apparent
incspacity for self-government, their distracted
condition, their mutual wars, and their never
cessng civil commotions, are in themselves
alone an evil to their neighbors of quite sufi-
cient magnitude, without conceding to them the
right of enlisting against US the privateersmen
Of Europe.

LITERARY NOTICES.

THE AMERlCAN REVIEW a Wing journal
of Politics, Literature, Art and cience, April
iS45.-Of the general character of this work
we have already expressed our opinion of deci.
dad appreciation. There is no falling off in the
present number from the interest OF its prede'
cessors. The first article, entitled "The late
Chief Executive" is summary history OF Mr.
Tyler's Presidential career, written with can
dor and vouched for by some important docu
ments, which we are glad to see thus on record.
This is as it should be. Violent Phillipics and
yiterpera,ive party slang should be leit--we had
almos, said to the meaner organs of the respec-
tue oarties; but we would rather say Danish
them entirely from the columns OF all alike

however, he is only Churchman pro tempore. In
the present number of his Journal--redolent of
