NEW YORK HERALD.



lshed yesterdays and continue in to.day's paper,
and which came by the Hibernia from Liverpool to
boston, is very singular very exciting, and very de-
cslve
Ia France and England, the Presidents Message,
with allthe documents relative TO our foreign and
domestic policy were received, and the impression
produced on the newspaper press, and on
individuals in both countries, far we
can gather from our private correspondence,
is decidedly favorable to the maintenance of
peace leading every mind TO believe that il will be
the last thing thought OF by the British government,
represented by any party, 10 break the peace with
this country. Cotton on the one side, and the corn
laws on the other, have moderated the temper oil
the British government, and pre-dlsposed them to
overlook great many hard words from this side oil
the water On the Oregon question, as far as we are
able 10 Judge be the newspaper press there Is an EVIL
dent disposition on the part OF the British government
and the people, TO compromise the matter on mode
rate terms and the important article In the London
Times, points out the mode OF settlement, by repre-
sentng the British government as willing to compro-
mise on the proposition offered by Mr.. Gallatn du-
ring the presidency of Mr. Adams. That PROPOSE
zion based on the 49th parallel Of latitude. CIV
ing the whole 'ot Vancouver's Island to England,
and the right OF way up the Columbia to the northern
portion of their territories. II the British govern
men would add to this proposition, and consent 10
give us the free navigation of the ST Lawrence we
presume there would be no difficulty in settling the
question TO The satisfaction of all parties
But the great point Of difference between the two
countries appears to be the tariff question. The
British Press. OF all parties, speaks in the highest
terms OF Mr. Folks sentiments on the tariff, and
even commend the general tenor of the message,
although il denounces it regarding the sentiments
concerning the annexation OF Texas. II is generally
also, believed that the will be more ia
vorably disposed to maintaining unbroken the peace
between the two countries al all hazards, than the
new Cabinet which was attempted to be formed by
Lord John Russell
Indeed it is evident that the Oregon question was
the principal cause Of preventing Lord John Russell
from forming Cabinet. Earl Grey, one ofthe Wing
leaders, and friend of peace, refused to have any
connection with Cabinet in which Lord Palmers-
ton,-the bunkum man OF Engand-a sort OF Sena-
tor Allen the other side OF the WATERWAYS to be
a member. This led to premature dissolution Of
that Cabinet and paved the way for the return of
Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues TO office, with
more practicable views than he entertained before
the change,
II is very evident, therefore, from every thing be-
fore us from the other side Of the water that the
peaceful relations existing between this country and
England will continue for some time, that no diff.
Guilty will take place the Oregon question, that
some new commercial arrangements will be formed
by each country conducive to the interests OF BOTH
and that nothing but the action Of the American
Government will lead to breach of the peace
These views and feelings will preserve the peace of
the world for some time to come.
Yet there are some elements at work, showing
themselves occasionally, which prove that the
great Crisis IS still in prospect, at no remote
time, IN the European monarchics. The English
journals continue to berate this country on account
OF the annexation of Texas, and denounce il as a
piece of plumber and public robbery This involves
the irreconcllabe variance in the views entertained
by both countries on the subject of popular rights
aud popular government. On this side OF the
Atlantic, we believe that every separate
community has right to connect itself
with the policy and government which it thinks
would best promote It's happiness. Texas, an indie
pendent aatlon, thought that il would enjoy more
peace and prosperity, connected with the Uni ted
States, than II would as a separate nation, and we
believe that it had perfect right to connect itself
with But this is denied on the other side OF the
water and Is called plumber and public robbery
Such views never can be established in this country
This difference in opinion, therefore, is calculated
to create serious disturbance IN Europe for the
United States have a mighty influence on all the ma
lions ofthe world Every message that comes from
our Presidents is revolutionary document adj |
dressed to them ALL and although the present or the
next generation may not see it, the time $ coming
when the example OF this country will produce in
Europe one of the most dreadful and momentous
revolutions that ever took place.
Atpresent, the prospect is, that we will have years
OF peace and prosperity before us, and all ought to
make the best OF it while it exists
THEATRIcALs. The question is soved-the Park
can compete with the first theatres in Europe The
performance of Orchard the 3rd," for sixteen
consecutive nights, has fully established the fact
This brilliant achievement, unparalleled in the his
tory Of the stage, will awaken the dramatic genius Of
favored land, destined at no distant day to give
birth TO poet, who, TO the vigor of his character
and the splendor OF his poetry, shall add moral of
which the mighty Shakespeare had but istant
glimpse of-of feelings more liberal, and exploits
more soaring than graced the page of that I'M
mortal bard. We hail the present magnificent re-
viva of +" Richard the 3D. with gratification-we
hail il as the dramatic mirror of the future
THAT bears a glass
Which shows many more
In spite OF the great attractions OF the season, in
spite OF balls and concerts in spite OF those ACQUIRE
ments Of art which render home society so much
more attractive, and individuals so much more ca
pable of amusing themselves and others than here
tofore, in spite of the Snow King, whose reign is
omnpotent, the Park Theatre has for the last three
weeks become place OF greater fashionable resort
than we remember since its foundation
The credit of this revolution, in theatricals may
be iairly divided between the management and
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean. The correctness and
briancy q the spectacle have dazzed all eyeswhile
Mr. kean's performance of Gloster has gained
the most absolute sway over the opinions and feel
