HOW LOOKS IT ARRoAD2

In matters of foreign policy, the opinion ol
foreigners, not blinded by our domes political
hatreds is perhaps the best test. With that view,
in the lamentations of the English journals, the
true 'eulogium of the democracy aud the course
Of the National Administration, may be found.
The following is from the London Eran.insr.
"The die is now cast, and we must resign
ourselves to the annexation of Texas and all
IFS sconsequences,--tot the extension of rival
and naval power round the shore of the
Mexican Gull, to the approximation Of the
same power TO an immense region aud coss,
on the Paciic,-to an ncalculible impulse
given to slavery and slave breeding, as we'll,
as, we believe, save-lradng. Wbst We see
France and her prohibtive tariff yearly adj
vancing round the Mediterranean, and closing
region after region, and port after port, to our
commerce; SO in the New World, we find
the United States, whose prohibtive tariff is
of our own creation, spread that tariff with its
: flag over shores the most open to our influence,
the most favorable TO our trade. IL it was
empty honour we lost, or the balance OF
power, or any ofthosc superannuated, though
to us good, motives, which the age has obi
terated, we should say nothing; but we are
losing trade, profits, power, shipping and sub
stance, wanting alike the skill TO keep, or the
spirit to defend them"
From the London Morning Chronicle.
"Had we, indeed, on first recognizing the
independence of Texas, procured recogni-
ton of it from Mexico, aud poured European
Capital and population into il, we might h.ve
reared an independent slate; but capitalists
refused to repair thiiher, the American lone

TO hope, that Texas would not declare itself
politically Anglo-American, as it was left TO
become in population and commerc al con-
nection, was idle. How strong the national
current ran in that direction, we see from the
unanimiy of the Texan Assemblies. They
are all American to a man. If they ever
affected to desire Independence, it was TO
force Jonathan to grant them fair TERMS
This they seem to have got, though not with

hands with Capt. Elliott. The conditions OF

ever, defeated the purpose of his own Senate,

despatch of ships and regiments, TO the Ro
Grande. Polk has shown himself ia this, IA
worthy son of Jackson; indeed an improve
