1t is stated in the English papers brought
out by the Caledonia, that the British Govern
ment has offered its mediation between Mex

said, to that effect, have been received by Mr.

true this is, but it is our opinion that the me-

pleasure the announcement that the "vexed

one end Of the Union to another. Mr.. Polk
deserves, and no doubt win receive. the gratl-

yet moderate and dignifed stand, which he
took in this matter. and which. we feel conf

be. that they have placed at the head of the

The Tariff.

The Tariff bill is at last fully under way in
the House of Representatives, and we will
soon be enabled to judge what amount Of

sion on the 27:h, and also moved the previous
question, upon which Mr.. Pollock moved 10
Law both the resolution and the amendment up
on the table, which was done by the House
by majority of 80. thus shelving that the de-
bate will be by no means short one. We
are glad, however, that the question is fairly
before Congress, and earnestly desire that &C

should the sitting Of Congress be protracted
to the lst of October. We have read with a
great deal Of pleasure, the able and statesman.

France.

The arrival of the Caledonia brings 10 as
the intelligence that the French Government
has ordered feet to the Cult of Mexico
The Paris Prose-, of the lst inst, says, that
orders have been sent by the Minister OF Ma
rine, to Brest and othel French ports, for the
dispatch of a number of men OF war to the
Gulf of Mexico, TO reinforce the squadron now
stationed there, and that this movement IS
caused in consequence of the existing war be-
tween the United States and Mexico. vi
course we do not know what object France
can have in view, in sending an Increased ma.
val force to the Gulf of Mexico. Can it be
that she intends taking part in the war =
Can it be that she intends carrying into prac-
,ice the celebrated sentiment recently promul-
oed bv NJ. Guizot, that the great nations OF
Europe mus. preserve the balance of power
between the republics Of this continent? Can
it be that the ordering Of this fleet to the wa
tiers of the Gulf, is legitimate consequence
of this doctrine? We do not know any rea-
sen other than this, why France should REIN
force her squadron on the shores Of the Amer
lean continent, just now. Trne, it may be
tina. she has no idea Of interfering, and that
the movement is made with view to watch
over her commerce and to protect it from the
possible injury which it might suffer from Prl-
vateers Of either nation. Ii the latter be the
case, she is right, and may do as she pleases;
but if her intention is to interfere between the
United States and Mexico in the present quar-.
rel, she must look out for consequences. The
day has gone past-indeed, it never vas
when this country will permit any nation
not even excepting her ancient aliy-France
TO interfere with her affairs on this CONT
nent. When the French feet bombarded We
ra Cruz ne did not interfere. and, as matter
of course, we will expect the same E" hands
offs policy from France, now that it comes
our turn to do the same thing. AS We said be-
fore, however, France may have no improper
design. We must wait and see.
