that good sense and Christian feeling yet prevail in
the heads and hearts OF our TRANSATLANTIC brethren
Some OF our contemporaries, indeed, have aecribed

edge OF the preciplce was actually reached. We
repudiate the idea at once. We do not think that

We have no fault TO find with men proceeding on

proof that they are sagaclous.
All the proceedings OF the British Parliament are

the English people to have this policy, at least and
perhaps something more, carried into effect, as

call An effort has been made by the leader OF the
old Bourbonites, M. Berger, 10 raise a cry in the
chambers against England, but it failed. The la
tent treason OF the mischiefmonger was seen
through at once. He had no fclow-feeling with
America he had no particular hatred against Eng
land; but he wanted to throw France herself into
state Of disturbance and confason, that the old des
pots of Europe might once more come down upon
Paris, with the Bourbons among their baggage.
But M; Berryer was altogether out OF his reckon-
by mortal man. ana all that he gained by it was the
power of sending the compliments of the old legiti-
mate TO his friends Of the young republic, with
copy of tho following words, which he drew from
the clever Minister Of Louis Philippe on this occa-
We have given this declaration of M. Guizot in

il to be lost and the Minister who made it deserves
the gratitude OF the whole civilized world. Unjust,
il cannot fail to. exert a most powerful influence
with the war party in the United States. There is
no other quarter of the world TO which they can
look for a chance OF help or a spark OF sympathy,
in their unnatural longiGgs to draw the sword for
senselees object. We trust, then, that their mania
will subside when they hear tnat France remains
cold towards them, while their trade with England
is likely soon to be free. Earnest IS our desire 10
see such result produced, and to have peace rather
cemented than disturbed, rather perpetuated than
broken, between the mother and daughter countries
and we are anxiously wishful that corresponding
desire will influence the majority OF the people OF
the United States, when they hear OF what is pass
ing in the Legislatures OF France and England.
From the London Hersld, Feb. 81
Not many weeks since there prevailed in the pub
lie mind very general apprehension Of war be-
tween America and this country, an apprehension
that now no longer exists. For our own part, we
never anticipated war, and tor this reason, that
America possesses neither money OF her own nor
credit with states better supplied, sufficient to ena-
bic her to carry on war, and has besides nothing
than, happily for the peace OF mankind, il 10 known
to be- In modern times, money Ii literally what 1t
has wittiIybeen called The .ssnews Of war and the
of Rothschild is infinitely more service
II IL - ri ~
curity, therefore, which we had against an Ameri-
can war arose frem this fact, that the name OF Ame
RIGA is bad on every exchange IN Europe. The old
world has had quite enough OF American reputation
to induce it TO refuse advancing more "dollars."
The gasconading spirit OF our transatlantic kns-
men afforded likewise other and good grounds tor
believing that war was never really contemplated,
the frothy denunciatons in the
Presidents message. Mr.. Polk advised all nego-
tiation with Great Britain to be broken of, and the
notice to be given for determining the joint &C.
cupafion of Oregon, but what active measures did
he take None. AZ Mr.. Webster told him, Mr..
Polk had made no earthly preparation tor war. How
his egregious folly led to war for which America
is altogether unprePared, it is not our
province to determine. We leave that matter to the
OF Congress- Next came the extra
ordinary address OF the venerable John Quincy
Adams, Of whom, remembering his long and bril-
liant career, we will not say one word by way of
Mr.. Adams repeated the Presi
dents Recommendation to terminate the existing
state OF joint occupancy, but in the same breath re-
fused to vote for any increase OF the army and navy
estimates. From these circumstances, among others,
our opinion has been uniformly against believing
the likelihood OF any war, and our views have re-
ceived strong confederation by the news which we
published from America In yesterdays Herald We
learn that motion, embodyIng Mr. Monroe's doc
trine of the reputation OF European interference
in the affairs OF America, was rejected avowedly
on account of its tendency to endanger the MAIN
tenance OF peace between England and America
We shall only here observe, that England 10 enti-
tied to equal authority with America IN the manage
ment Of the affairs OF the continent, ut least ii such
authority is to be considered dervable from terri
toriai possessions. The declaration OF MIR. Mon
was, therefore, inconslstent with Englands en-
joyment OF what is absolutely her own, and conse-
quently must amount to an act OF hostility towards
this country. No wonder, then, that II America
entertains no intention OF resortng to hostile mea.
sures-a purpose Of which we acquit her-it was
found advisable to cushion for the present Mr..
Monroc's doctrine. Mr.. Aliens resolution was op-
