last section provides that members Of the

extracts from foreign papers showing the
tone of feeling on the part of the British,
in view of the sentiments contained in the
Presidents Message, but press Of other
matter prevents us. And we are not GER
tain that if we had, any definite ideas on the
subject could be obtained, for English pa
pers, somewhat like our own, are very much
divided inopnion. Thereappears to be no very
definite indication eitherway; but one thing
is certain, that the message did not cause
the excitement which was expected. One
of the English papers thinks the state of af-
fairs has materially altered since Mr.. Polk
delivered his message. Indications it says
are now tolerablv certain. that the British
ports will be opened, which gives the west
most powerful motive Tor peace with
England. The western interest it thinks
is in the ascendant in Congress; and there
fore Congress will sacrifice much for peace.
Not only the western, but every interest of
the country, is for peace, therefore there
will be no war in our opinion.
