very Interesting, particularly so Ear as relaies ,e
the reception of the news of the victories of Gen
Taylor on the Rio Grande
The corn bill has triumphed in the committee Of
the whole In the House of Lords by majority oi
thirty three. Consequently all fears to its final
passage are at an end and rich market fur our
superintendent crops of breadstuffs may now be
confidently anticipated.
There has been decline of one eighth pence in
the Cotton market, though the demand continued
steady.
In England and Ireland the wheat and poiatoe

appearance, and the prospect of nlentiful har
vest was considered good when the Britannia

The war between the United States and Mex
leo engrosses public attention. The victories of
the Americans on the Rio Grande has changed
public feeling, both in England and France, from
sympathy for the Mexicans TO contempt
Mr.. Guizot's organ is still pointing on, the me-
cessity and policy of France and England inter

Mexico from what II terms the rapacious and ty-

WAR BETWEEN MEXIco AND THE UNITED
SrATEs--Ihe dispatches of General Taylor are
remarkable for their succnct energy, and the
absence of those verbose and grandoquent strains
which we are accustomed 10 meet within nara
tives at American exploits. He writes like man
of sense, skill. and courage; and we have not the
slightest wish 10 detracl from the hunors he has
CALAMITY earned under the flag of his coun'ry-
Whatever opinion may entertain of the causes
of this war and of the political motives in which
1t orginated the behaviour of the American gen
eral and his troops deserves 10 be judged of by a
much higher standard than the policy of the gov
eminent which il is their duty 10 serve. The
conduct of the Mexican army, on the contrary,
demonstrates the utter inability of that govern
ment to protect any portion of lis dominions frum
invasion; and it degrades the descendants of the
Spanish Americans still lower in the rank OF
nations.
