this days Herald. They came from our own cor.
respondents.
We have been at considerable expense in en-
gaglng gentlemen OF acknowledged ability to write
10 us from the army, and we now have regular
correspondents stationed at Matamoras, Point
Isabel, Lometa. Reynosa, and shall dispatch one
10 Camargo.
1t is our intention to give the fullest and the mos
interesting intelligence from the Army of Occupa-
tion that can be obtained.
The Mexican War and English Intervention
The Influence OF Commerce.
There is great deal of interest felt in certain
circles to the course that Great Britain will DUR
sue in the war with Mexico. BY many il is sup
posed that if the United States should insist upon
retaining possession of the CALIFORNIA; after those
provinces had been conquered and occupied by
our armies, and annexing them to the United
States, that England, and perchance France, would
interfere and try to prevent such proceeding; and
fno other method would do, that they would resort
TO force to defeat the object. We acknowledge
that we do not feel at all alarmed about any inter-
ventlon on the part of Eng land in our present
difficulties in Mexico, although it may be well
Tor us to be prompt in our movements towards
the settle Of our war with that country.
II Is the policy and interest of all Euro
pean nations, and particularly of England, to
promote the civilization of the world, and open
markets for their manufactures. Mexico, to say
the most, is in n condition of semi barbarism and
confers no benefit on the rest ofthe world in the
consumption Of the produce of other countries, or
IN the expectation of the produce of her own eli
mate or soil. The little benefit she does CONFER
confined n he If tla ~
mines, and the trade in this respect is compare
lively trfing to what it ought to be. If the Cali
fornias were annexed to, and formed part of
our country, so much at all events of Mexico
would be redeemed from its present state OF mis-
fortune, and placed on footing in every respect
as favorable for enjoying the advantages of com.
merce as the rest of the United States The in
habitants would become producers as well as
consumers, and the mineral resources would be
developed under the influence of Anglo-Saxon
enterprise and ingenuity. They would, like the
rest OF our people, become good custom ers for
the manufactures of Great Britain, and would
help TO supply the furnishing population of that
country with food in exchange for their manufac-
tured goods, and with the raw material where.
with to keep its tolng millions in employment
The annexation of this part of Mexico would
IN fact be a benefit to Europe as much as the
opening of the Chinese ports, and would help to
carry OUT the policy of extension ofcommerce al
ready sofavorable with the English people. On
this acc cunt, therefore, we think the En- gsh 60
vernment would probably decline o interfere in
any arrangement we might have in view in this
respect
But suppose they do interfere? What then,
and who cares :
Position OF THE New ENGLISH MINrsTRy-Al-
though it appears very probable that Sir Robert
Peel has voluntarily surrendered the reins of Of
flee, yet it is by no means certain that the wings
Will be able to retain their places long; and, in
deed, it would appear that Sir Robert centem-
plated such an event, in dissuading the Queen
from dissolution of Parliament
1t is scarcely possible for the new admnistra-
ton to carry any important measure, as the low
er house is now constituted. There is large to-
ny and conservative majority to contend against,
and it is in Sir Robert Peels power to checkmate
every move of the new Premier. Will he do SO
Had he been DESTROYS that Lord John Russell
should have an opportunity OF building up a sta
BILE and permanent administration, .he would have
advised dissolution of Parliament, and general
election, which would have allowed the wings to
muster such strength would have enabled them
TO carry out their policy triumphantly. AS it is,
Sir Robert has been defeated by his own party,
men who, after the excitement of their Temporal
ny irritation at the passage of the corn bill passes
of, will be as steady opponents of wing prnc-
piles as ever. OF such men there is a majority in
the present House; and it is more than probable
that the new administration will be so hampered
by their opposition as to find it impossible to carry
out their policy. What then will be their coursel
VIII they be induced to resignl or will they re-
main passive until the termination of the present
session.
The administration is not formed with vie s
10 concniate the opposton; and unless there is
some secret understanding with the "younQ Eng
land" party, ministers must rely on whig support
alone. Ii is true that Lord John Russell. while
leader Of the opposition, generously sustained Sir
Robert Peel IN some of his most important mea-
sures Will Peel feel himself constrained to re-
turn the compliment The tory protectionists
may give the administration qualified and par
tal support, in order nortify the late PREMIER
The tory party is at present in transition state,
and we should not be surprised to hear of some of
the most prominent members of it joining the
wing ranks, through motives of personal pique
Mr. Dlsraeh, ons Of the most energetic and sue
cessful assaiants of the late administration, and
more especially of SIR Robert Peel, would require
very little persuasion to induce him to join the
ministerialsts. His services would be invaluable,
he is OF the first debaters of the day. and is
one Of the most powerful orators in the House.
II is, therefore, in WOW Of all these circum-
stances, impossible to predict the result of Lord
John Russel's experiment to build up an admit
nistration under so many disadvantages. 1t will
be readily perceived that if he maintain his posi-
non, IT Will be but by the suerance of his politi-
oal opponents.
