from The one paper at the Merchants Exchange,
TO which the whole press had equal access. Inc

England and the United states.
The Times says the accounts from the United
States by the Hibernia, to the beginning OF April,
have excited good deal Of attention. The mes
sage Of Mr.. Polk to Congress is not considered
warlike; indeed of the public writers profess
to see the best guarantee for the continuance OF
peace in the expense to which the country will be
put by arming for conflict. Seventy millions Of
dollars bestowed upon putting the army and navy
case, would induce every man who contributed his
quota to that astounding sum to inquire into It's ne
cessity.
