IRELAND.-For the last fortnight quays have
been daily thronged with the fine and stalwart peas
antry of this and the adjoining counties, preparing to
emgrate various parts of the transatlantic world.
Perhaps upon no former occasion, even before the
hope of railway employment held out to the peo
ple and when ''Government grants" for their relief
were never heard of, did the number of emlgrants
from this quarter exceed the proportion of the present
year. Besides the various large and full freighted
vessels which have left the quays of Cork direct for
America, several ships despatched to the west
of the county, and had difficulty in obtaining their
full complement Of passengers. Many of these ycs-
sells conveying cabin passengers comfortable far
mers, who DO not like the prospects of the times at
home. A great number of agricultural laborers are
among the emigrants, from the counties of Limerick
and Tipperary. At moderate computation about
5000 emigrants have, or within tue next month will
have, left this port for America. 1t is to be hoped
their anticpatiOns will be realized. There can be
little fear, however, that their condition could be
worse, their prospects more dsheartenng than
those which the 'potato-famine in this country, lit
tie mended by the promise of Indian corn had occa-
stoned. To starve emigrate the only alterna-
tives of the peope.-Cork Reporter.
INDIA.-The campaign against the Sikhs must have
cost the British India army, in killed and wounded,
5000 or 10000 men, including an extraordinary pro-
portion of British officers by whom the troops are
chiefly commanded. majority of the non-commis-
stoned officers and privates killed and wounded were
natives. The officers reports of killed and wounded
the British side in three principal engagements,

been; and to suppose that rights to the country
are weakened IS childish invention. They are pre-
ciscly what they have ever been since 1790.
In the whole course Of these negotiations, that
which has changed most completely is the claim set
I'D by the Americans. In 1918 and 1896 the terri
tory in dispute was expressly asserted and clearly
understood be comprised between the Add and 10Th
degrees of latitude. as for the more northern tract
between 40 and "a 40, We not aware that the
paramount claims of Britain TO that part of it were
then called question The proposals for partition
ranged between the mouth of the Columbia and the
49th degree but not beyond and the American plen-
ipoentiaries unsuccessfuy claimed the whole of that
region but more. Since that time and in their
more recent discussions, they have raised their de-
mands; they have laid claim to the whole country !;
and then, as If il were the farhes limits of conde
scenson and concession, they revert to their former
Offer the very same which was before rejected.
They have raised claim to the whole of Oregon, not
with any expectation of acquiring the entire province
but in order to reconcile to terms have before
declared to be nadmissible But the truth is that the
bare 10th parallel is, to all nents and purposes, the
same thing that it was twenty years ago.
We intimated an opinion some time ago, that the
10th parallel ought conveniently to the basis
of an arrangement; bit it is clear that such propo-
sal must be accompanied with more extensive cond-
tions than those heretofore annexed TO il by the
Americans. 1t must leave the whole of VancOuver's
Island the navigation and harbor of the Straits OF
Fuca, the free of the Columbia and Its northern
branches down to the sea, and indemnity COM
pensation to the Hudsons Bay Company for the pests
they would be called upon to surrender. We do not
pretend to point out all the stipulations which IL
would be the part of prudent and just policy TO
require equivalent for concession much
below original claims, and, as we firmly believe,
Just rights. But the cesson of the vacant soil
might be polite and endurabe, provided the private
rights already long acquired and enjoyed by British
subjects were duly respected: and they must beyond
all question: be protected by the ultimatum of Eng
land.
Between these two proposals lies the question of
peace and war narrowed these controversies
always are to a small ISSUE but, nevertheless, broad
enough TO swallow up the peace of the world. The
moderate members of the Senate make the 49th par
allcl their Fighting line" President Polk is evil

than of concession; and side really

in any farther departure from the position assumed
long ago by the British government, and confirmed by
the emphatic declarations of the Ministers of the
Crown.

MEXICO.

Through the New Orleans papers we have news
from Vera Cruz to the 3d. and from the city of
Mexico to the 18th ut.
Every thing was still quiet in the capital and Vera
Cruz, far any outbreak in favor Of Santa Anna
was concerned, but the minds of all ripe
for revolution. Letters had been received at Vera
Cruz from the city of Mexico, stating that General
Alvarez had raised the standard of revolt in the
Southern part of the Department of Mexico; pro-
claimed the federal constitution; and declared himself
in favor of the recall of Gen. Santa Anna No details
upon this subjct given in the papers, but El
LocOmotor, of the 22d, has doubt of the fact of
revolution having broken out as alleged.
From various representations which have been
made to us, are convinced that the policy of the
Government of Paroles is controlled entirely by the
English. Americans in Vera Cruz entertain doubt
whatever that settlement of the difficulties between
Mexico and the United States would have been
arranged long ago, but for the interference of the
English Minister; but now they do not look for peace
until there has been trial of strength between the
two counries-until, in fact, San Juan de Uloa shall
be reduced.
In regard TO this fortress it is now rendered almost
certain that it cannot be taken unless by very
siderable squadron of vessels of the first class by
land attack. 1t has been put In thorough repair,
and is defended by guns of the largest calbre When
the French took it, twenty-four Founders were the
heaviest guns mounted in il at present guns of
cationS have been erected near the mole for heavy
cannon. Gen. Bravo has been appointed to the COM
mand of Vera Cruz, and is especially charged with
the defence of the fortress.
The papers of the capital announce that Gen. Bravo
left there at the head of 5000 men, with view to
protect the Department of Vera Cruz, and any other
parts of the interior which may be threatened by
attack by the United States forces.
El Didrio del GObierno announces that Z 600 men,
well organized and Offered and amply provided with
munitions, money, &C., will compose the Army of the
North and that the chief command has been restored
Gen. Arisa, and that Gen. Ampudia will henceorth
be only second in command The appointment of
Arista is confirmed by way of Brazos Santiago
The business of Vera Cruz is almost annihilated by
the unsettled state of the country, in regard TO its
internal prospects and foreign relations. 1t would
appear that Com. Conner has transferred his flag tc
the frgate Raritan, which arrived the 18Th inst
He sailed from Vera Cruz the 23d, a cruise of
the coast, accompanied by the Cumberland, Potomac
ard Falmouth. The fleet had previously gone out &c
sea for day or two, to give the men the benefit Of

the only vessel of war lying at Sacrifcos when the
Orleans sailed. The health of the squadron was
perfectly good.

Mr.-Webster urged upon the Senate, in the course
of the proracted debates relative TO Oregon the ne
cesSity of coming to arrangement on the basis of
the 49th parallel, with the free navigation of the Co.
lumbia for a specific time. 1t is singular that the
Quarterly Reriet0 put forth a similar opinion in this
country only fortnight or three weeks back, that
parties on both sides of the Atlantic anxious to see
the question amicaby settled, regard this under all
the circumstances of the case, fair and equitable
compromise. Be 1t So We should be glad if the
controversy was terminated by this arrangement, as
it would put an end to a state of feeling which can
not be continued without injury and expense to both
countries.-Liuerpool Chronicle, April IS.

For life is but a bubble
