Yesterday, Notwithstanding il was Sunday, was
day Of no little excitement and commotion, First,
we had the news fros Mexico, TO the effect that
another revolution was on the fopis, "bloodess as
i" but likely TO be thorough and complete, as
large portion ofhe military force had under the ds
rseton probably Of Parsdes, declared against the
Government Of Herrera Whist effect this revoIu-.
ton 10 likely 10 have in reference settlement OF
the difficulties between Mexico and the United
States, Is subject Of general comment As the
principal cssgss In the manifesto, against The ex-
istiog government are on account OF its amcabIe
disposition towards our own government, II is very
generally surmised that we are yet TO have brush
with the swarhy Mexican. n il must come 10 this,
let Il be no didding, fancy war, but rather let us
fall upon them like avalanche, and finish the bu-
s'ness at once. British diplomats have undoubtedly
been figuring in this movement, with far better sue
cess, evidently, than they mot with in the Texas
affair And yet we stand paterng and pickering,
and almost trembling in shoes the bare idea Of
giving notice to the English government, that we
desire no longer partnership with her Where is
the spirit Of '16'
In addition to this Mexican news we have four
days later from England and great events within
TO, and increase and extend, the excitement to every
part OF this city.
A tory ministry has retired and wing one has
taken It's place; but have the principles OF FREE
TRADE triumphed' Are the antiquated and OPP
pressive corn-laws to be abolished, and how Is all
this to affect the United States' questions every
where asked.
Fsvorably, without doubt, commercially speaking.
But In reference TO the Oregon question there is the
rub.
The London 'sun" says
"Thc downfall OF this heterogeneous cabinet
win be the worst news for Polk that he has
received since his insalment into Office. The
Syrian affair made an impression in America which
established the character of Palmerston for decision
and national spirit; and Polk would rather see any
man in the foreign Office than a nobleman who,
since the days of Canning Is the only minister that
has asserted the honor Of the country in all her for
eign relations" .t E- -ar
But this evidently is throwing an anchor to wind
ward for my Lord Pslmerston. have not the beast
doubt but that the action Of the ministry will be
favorable for settlement of this question than
the old. IL they less favorable, rhe friends
IN Congress who have hesiated about giving the
syear's notice" have been mistaken in their policy
Of action for hesitancy here will only invite ag-
gresson from ministry already predisposed TO act
lf they favoraby disposed, then the earIi-
est notice possibly could have given would not
have changed their mode Of 6ction In either case
doubtless desire, that the notice should pass, and as
hope and trust, unanimously, or nearly also
think that some great and brilliant minds, who are
seldom wrong on questions of foreign or domestic
policy are mistaken in the views they take of this
Oregon question. Time, however, will determine
that point, as it does all others. ~ e 80
The news by this arrival may affect the sales of
produce little, but there will be but slight dispo-
son TO move to any extent commercially until the
steamer arrives, which may be expected by Tues
<lsxx. W.In Nv hat
tons will be solved, speculation will give place to
facts and much that has remained IN doubt will be
cleared up an made pain--happily for us, hope.
The Napoleon OF the press, as Bennett styles him
self promises TO be the "frst in" with the news; and
really he has lived upt his promises in this respect
lately. He was ahead of everything in the publ |
cation yesterday of the Mexican well as the Eng
lsh news Bennett il trulya persevering fellow, |
although little eccentric at tims, u not eftner.
The late vile and wicked speech Of Giddings, in |
the House, appears to be calling forth most scorch- |
ing rebukes from his own friends. The New York |
Observer religious paper Of this city of wide cir
culaton, and an advocate for the final abolition of
slavery, in speaking of the Infamous tone of the
Emancira,or, the Liberater, and Gddings, says
''In placing these ominous passages from the
Emancipator, the Liberator, and speeches in Com
gress, in their connexion have distinct object.
1t is to declare to the world that these are not the
sentiments Of the non-savehoding States, and they
are the sentiments Of the anti-slavery Christians
of the free States They are the sentiments of
portion only of those who technically called alb
and who submit to the teachings Of |
Messrs. Leavt and Garrison, each ofwhom, at the |
head Of his respective school, inculeates his peculiar
opinions. But the Christian abolitionists or anti
slavery citizens of the North, desire no such means
to be resorted to by Great Britain or the United |
States to deliver the slaves of the South from their
bondage. The work of emancipation is to be |
effected, and unless by such catastrophe Mr..
Giddings nvokes, will be effected by the power Of
truth working in the minds and hearts of the south
ern people,"
IF these mad and reckless enthusiasts were bit
actuated by such sentiments as these--of leaving
the work of emancipation to the hands and hearts Of
the southern people, their wishes would be much |
sooner accomplished than they otherwise likely
to be. #g ta
There has been, during the week just passed, |
large number Of arrivals Of vessels from foreign |
por,s and generally with large cargoes of goods.
The spring bueiness will soon commence, and our
merchants are already making preparations for alarge
and profitable business. They allow no war-cry |
to interfere with them An inquiry into the militia
ry resources of tho country does not prevent thsm
inquiring into their own and the millenery re-
sources, and applying them usefully too. No res
olutions warning all the world not to approach u.s.
prevent their having counter resolutions, inviting
all the world to come and buy. The difference 10, |
the congressional resolve is laid upon the table, |
while the mercantile one is adopted nem. The |
eni and is likely to be large throughout the sea-
son. Some idea of the extent of business done |
in the appraisers department Of the custo-house,
may be Inferred from the fact that, during the last
year, (ls45, as am informed, tho number of pack
ages and bales of goods delivered there for exami-
nation and apprasement, amounts TO the astonish-
ing number Of ninety-six thousand three hundred |
and six,y-eight This shows that the duties of the
officers in that department Of the custom-house are
not Of a slight trifing nature. During the year
1843 there were 81, 7s3 packages examined and in ,
l841, 56,873. This shows enormous increase in |
the business sc that Office. Thus nearly one hun
drcd thousand packages Of goods are received in |
store and delivered again to the owners, by the eff
cient storekeeper, George Glazier, without the loss
or wrong delivery, am told, Of single package !
Good evidence this Of faithful discharge Of his
Official duties. The Secretary ofthe Treasury (Mr. ,
Wslker) seems to have Unused into every depart
ment Of the revenue aervice much Of his energy
and industry, while he at the same time demands
faithful and economical discharge Of the duties OF
every branch Of the service aprertaining to his de-
