FOREIGN News is somewhat scarce yet
what little there is, comes to us filled with int
rest. Lord John Russell failed in making
Cabinet, and Sir Robert Peel had to resume
his place as Prime Minister of England. There
is no prospect of war The Government of
England has resumed a friendly and pacific
tone-whlst the journals generally talk of
negotiation, equitable arrangements-and no
war Ifany conclusion can be drawn from the
present aspect of things, sooner than go to war
with us, the British Government will yield her
right, such as il is, to the whole of Oregon
She may, however, have assumed friendly
tone to allay American vigilance, But let her
suck her paw as long as she will, we will at
any time be full fast for her, and at all hazards,
maintain Ourjust claim TO the disputed territory

From the Vicksburg Sentinel


Nrvtco-S Since all alarm Of an Eng
fish rupture has passed, TO Mexico we must
now look for news of eXcilemont.
1t will be seen that a new revolution IS
soon TO be looked for. AriSta has declared
against Parades. Yucatan has declared
/ independence. Santa Ana and his ennis
saries are busy; and it would be indeed re-
markable ilthe present posture Of thInSS
remained.
The most interesting items 10 be cuIIed
from late arrivals from MeXlcu are these
Ii appears by letter of ArlSta that Her
rera was merely playing game OF treach-
cry when he pretended TO be willing TO
receive a mission from the United States
and settle all difficulties; for at the very
moment he waSinvting Mr.. SldeIl, he was
secretly using every means TO array force
TO overcome Gen. Taylor on the frontier.
The new government of Paroles does
not turn ont as hostile as was anticipated.
Mr.. SIldell has not been inSuted or driven
away. 1t was true, he desparcd OF his
mission, and demanded an escort 10 leave
the country. But the recent deveIope-
mentS show that the refusal TO give him an
escort was more preteXt to detain him IN
the country until some favorable feeling OF
the public mind would allow an open Sc
sumption ofnegouationst than any Ting else.
Mr.. Slidell himself expressed increasing
hopes of success.
ArSta who has undertaken a new revo-
ution, is man oftaIent and great ambition
He has lived in the United States, and
comprehendS both American and Mexican
affairs, it is said, better than any other
general of Mexico. Some years ago he
projected a scheme for n division of the
Republic, and separate government ofthe
northern Provinces. This was frustrated
by the revolution in Texas. But it shows
his ambition, and the schemes upon which
he will probably fall back, if he fails III
general revolution. He is represented as
having unboundcd sway in the north; and
IS said to bcincIined TO preserve peace with
Americans though like all other Mexican
politicians he talks in hcroics about recon
qucrng Texas. In his projected division
OF the Republic several years since he had
invited American AID. and contemplated
that great part of his force should be
American soldiers. Does not this show
him fully alive to the importance of
peaceful union with the United States?

You cannot, | should suppose, expect to

me essential To the preservation oi our Repub.

com freely draw our morality. Its essential
that We should have an educated populations:
InasmuCh, a. every man can exercise the right

tins Is point OF primary importance. and
your people may rest assured, that taxes for
