Northumberland, and the piIot-boat Ro-
mer, is rather unfavorable to the settle
ment of our controversy will, Engla
The English papers are makinSa a hide
Gus uoise about the rashness Of our Co
vernment aud the terrible prowess Of the
British arms, but we can very readily iu-
form those warriors Of the quill, that If
boasting is the game they 60 for, we are
disposed to yield the precedence 10 no peo
pie on the face of the globe. In war Of
ItIe tongue, or the pen, we are perfectly
unconquerable--we are equal to suy two
nations in Europe. Some Of The British
journals deprecate war with US as being
rather uncivIized and unchris,iau, but as
for tho danger to which their country
would be exposed. they treat it as the
lighlest mailer in the world. One odd
paper goes on to enumerale with great
precision, The whole Of our strength, both
by land and sea, and comes to the very
correct conclusion, tina, by most heroic
exerton, we could probably raise nearly
10000 land troops; aud as for our poor little
Navy, be says That would be crushed by
tho most mighty aud invincible fleets Of
Great Britain, like bundle of pea-huls
in lhreshins machine, or that in fort
night or TWO, it would he completely
kicked from the face of old Ocean. Ii We
should bc so unfortunate as TO be involved
in war With England. we will teach
these European brassaris what is the true
extent OF our resources, and what is in
reality the might Of our arm. We will
hitherto so mercilul!y bestowed upon
them, was but lender admonlion Of
what they may expect from US hereafter.
We were never in half 50 good a condi-
ton for fighting, as we are al lae present.
we may quarrel aud squabble with our
selves about our little domestic concerns,
when I'VE have nothing else TO do, bui if we
are driven into war with foreign power
by the naughty prelensions Of Great Brit
ain, or even 10y the rashness of our own
rulers, we will demonstrate to the world;
that where slhe honor or spirit of the na-
ton is involved in the contest, our whole
country will be united as one man. and
every citizen will be prepared TO die in
the discharge Of his duty. The U. States
were never so able-never so proud
never SO full Of war.meltle, as they are al
the present lime.
But we do NOT think that we have any
serious reasons for experimenting awar
with England for some years yet. The
news we have received lately has come
from The English newspapers, not from
tide Engash Government: Pic govern
menl will probably speak in The next
steamer, when in our opinion, The whole
oflhis war bubble will entirely vanish.
The news from Ireland shows that op
pressed people to be in state of great
fermentation aud distress. An Irish CO.
ercion Bill has been introduced in the
| British Parliament, 10 authorize the Lord
Lieulenau, Of ireland, 10 proclaim whole
| Districts to be in stale Of insurrection,
and to forbid any of their population 10
be out OF their houses from one hour
after sunset in the evening, 10 Que hour
before sunrise in the morning.
The latest accounts from India are
rather unfavorable TO the progress of the
British arms. The determined and hardy
Sikhs had defeated ihe last force they had
mel with, and they ere still ralIying theil
people, and still nobly struggling TO defend
their country from the dominion u Euro
peau invaders. They may be successful,
Tor they have proved themselves to be
fearless race, and they have arms in their
hands.
The Poles have made another effort for
freedom. They have organized govern
lneur, and raised an army Of aboul $4,000
men. Their chauces of success are doubt
(ul aud glooa,y. for they have 10 contend
with three Of the greatest naIions in Eu-
rope. Tha, gallant people cling to their
national existence with a tenaciiy, which,
f nations had souls, would excite The
cnmmiseration, and command she hearty
support of all Christendom.
