The course of many of The Wing prints has
had The effect we predicted, in encouraging the
designs OF other nations. The Montreal Cana
da) Herald of the 18th May feels eated at The ap-
parent divisions among the people OF the United
States, as indicated by The assaults of some OF
our journals upon the business OF The Mexican
war, and comes out with a bold ayowal, that
France and England will interfere in the quarrel
For the sake OF peace, we earnestly deprecate'
such policy as is marked out in the following
auice-but should il be realized, an European
war j. inevitable, and we have the consolation 10
know, that this country was never better prepar-
ed, in spirit and power, TO resist foreign interfer
ence. We hope that The crisis may not occur
but, il il is forced upon Us by foreign aggression
and insolence, the American people will meet it
like freemen:
nIn preference 10 any observations Of our own
we present our readers with the following articles
from the United STATES press, by which they will
observe the conflicting opinions held by our neigh
bors on the subject OF the "eIsting war" with
Mexico There would appear to be three dis.
tnct parties among them: Isl. Those who sus-
tain the warlike policy OF the President and his
cabinet, and who boldly advocate Inc INVASION,
with view 10 The conquest and annexation of
Mexico 3D. Those who, while they entirely
disapprove of and repudia,e the acts and objects
Of The Executive, openly acknowledging the in
justice OF their cause, are still, from a mistaken
principle OF national honor, willing TO sustain
that unjust cause with The whole energies Of The
nation And lastly, those who hold-and wisely
that mo true honor, no national benefit, can
possibly accrue out Of an unjust war; and who
loudly call upon the peopleo arise in their might,
impeach their rulers, and thus avoid their being
precipilated into falhomless abyss OF crime and
calamity. This last party, however, il We are
10 Judge By the votes in Congress, must be nearly
powerless; and we have, therefore, little doubt
The attempt 10 invade and conquer Mexico will
forthwith be carried into effect. We have, at
the same time, as little doubt that the attempt
will result, as il ought 10 do, in disaster and de-
feat Notwithstanding Mir. Folks rhodomontadc
about The Interference oil European powers in
American quarrels, neither England nor France
iriH stand quietly By and see friendly nation
TO say nothing OF their own peculiar interests 10

nally boassipg offs free institutions, retains mil

MONEY MATTERS.-In answer 10 en-
quiries whether The Treasury Of The United
States will require money 70 be transported 10

piled, that he had million at New Orleans al

The Eastern Shore Maryland Wheat Crop
seems to have suffered as much as that of Virgil
mia. The Board Of Trustees of the Maryland
Agricultural Society, for The Eastern Shore, an
nounce officially through The Baltimore Patriot,
that at least one-half OF the wheat crop of Tai
bot county has been destroyed by Hessian ay,
whose ravages have not been so great since 1877
that on some Of the best land, the wheat has
been plouehed up, and on other lands, it will not
be worth harvesting.
In Kent county (Md.) the fly has made grea,
havoc-bu, the late rains have had good effect.
In Queen Anne's county, (Md.0 the wheat
looks promising in some felds-in far The

CHANGING SIDES.-About two years ago
(says The New York Journal OF Commerce) the
Mexican Government procured six beautiful hat
and sharp schooners 10 be built here, of little
more than hundred tons burthen. They were
OF very light draugh and SO fitted for the navisa-
lion OF shoal rivers and bays. They were all as
precisely alike as SO many peas. Three OF them
were delivered 10 the Mexican Government, but
The other three have been lying for eighteen
months al The ship yard, upon The hands of The
merchants here who were employed 10 contract
for them. Our Government have Justtaken them
from The merchants hands, and they are all 10 be
ready for sea in six days. Our Government are al
so negotiating for Two steamers which were built
Tor Mexico, bul which, not being paid for, have not
been delivered All The mines OF Mexico cannot
make Mexico rich, while The sand bank OF Nam
tuckel is OVERLOOKING with wealth.
