American Affairs In EurOpe-The Newspaper
Press and Republication Arrangements In
Europe for the Subscribers to the New York
Herald
We are daily expecting fresh arrival from
the United States with the news of a peace with
Mexco-perhaps of another battle also. The
last accounts, which brought us the news of the
capture of Vera Cruz, soon following after
the unparalleled battle of Buena Vista, have been
before the European world for several weeks
. and am now satisfied that deeper impression
has been produced by these events, than ever has
taken place since the great fact of the revolution
in l776 No better evidence could be produced
than the sudden and extraordinary silence of the
greater portion of the newspaper press in London
and Paris, in their usual comments on American
affairs. For year past these journals, one and
all, of all shades, have been abusive and vindic-
| tive towards the United States-and predicting
every species of disaster and defeat to her arms.
Every expectation has thus far been fasifed, and
with the exception of the London Times, which
scolds like an old snuffy woman, no other journal
has continued in their usual strain, since the af
fairs of Buena Vista and Vera Cruz have been
known. 1t is now beginning to be thought in
Europe, that the United States must soon become
great and powerful nation. In this Europe be-
ieves and trembles, as Satan docs in the exist
ence and power of his terrible master.
have already said much Of the hostility of
the press of London and Paris towards the Uni
ted States, encouraged and paid for, have the
best reasons for believing, by their several 60
vernments, statesmen, and politicians. But
when exception is found ought to notice it.

sian press, that only single journal of this me-
tropolis will admit articles favorable to the Uni
ted States. This exception l have found in the
/ Gazette de France. an old legitimatist journal,
which has had the manliness to publish series
of admirable articles on the progress of La Jeune
Amerique, as they call the United States, written
by M. Cordier, distinguished member of the
Chamber of Deputies, from the department of the
Jura There is paper in Paris called the Ma
tional, which processes to be republican, but this
and every other refused the publication, with the
exception of the Gazette de France. Indeed, it Is
! fact, that the organs of Louis Philippe are the
most hostile to the United States. I have sent
for publication in the Herald, one of these arti-
cles of M. Cordier, as variety in the history
of European newspaper literature. He says that
the United States has hitherto been distinguished
commerce, science, and intelligence but that in
the recent war with Mexico, this new country
has suddenly developed genius for the higher
combinations of war, that can only be compared
with the first and wonderful campaigns of the
young Napoleon in Germany and Italy, when he
led the republican soldiers of France over the
Alps and across the Rhine. This is now the real
opinion which is beginning to fill the minds of
the great men, military and civil, of Europe.
They see on the shores of the Atlantic, the sud-
den development of new people, greater than
Rome, mghtier than France, nation that will
yet control the whole American continent, and
give new direction to the history of the world.
have now completed my arrangements for the
continent, in relation to correspondence and
news during the new regime of steam. have
established central agency in Paris,wi cores
pondents extending to all the chief towns in GEN.
trail and southern Europe, embracing commerce,
politics, and general.new This is separate and
distinct from my English arrangements. In
Paris is the chief agency, connecting with Wen
ma, Munich, Trieste, Berne, Madrid, Rome, Ma
pies, Constantinople, Alexandria, Bombay and
the East as far as China. BY this arrangement,
| will participate in the famous overland express
from British:India, which, by the French steam
ers, will enable us to publish in the Herald, the
news from China, India, &c., much later than it
can be received through England. This will be
of some interest to all those merchants and
manufacturers connected with the trade of the
Mediterranean and the far East. have also
established agencies in Antwerp and Bremen,
extending their lines to Brussels, Berlin, st. Pc
tersburgh and the north of Europe generally, by
which will be enabled to receive the earliest
intelligence of all kinds, through the American
line of steamers, and also by the Belgium and
Prussian line when completed. My arrangements
with England have been long since well known to
be very complete, but am now going to Eng
land to make them still more so. Hereafter the
United States will be more closely connected |
with Europe than ever was contemplated by man.
In two or three years there will probably be an
arrival of steamer every two days, doing the |
voyage in ten or twelve days. The improve
ments Of the press must correspond with those
in the other great departments of life.
send this by the Liverpool steamer. The
French line, in consequence of some delays on
the part of the Government, will not be able to
begin their trips for some days yet.
LATE FROM PERU.-By way Of Panama we are
in receipt Of files Of Ell Concrete, published in
Lima. Our dates are to the 10th April
An extensive fire took place in Callao on the
night of the 3lst March, and between $50, 900 |
and $4,000 worth Of goods destroyed. From
the extreme detail which is entered into in the
description OF the fire, in Ell Concrete, it is evil
.dent that the editors have never been in New
York.
The speech delivered by Mr.. Winthrop, of
Massachusetts, In Congress-, on the 9Th January
last, relative to the Mexican war, is translated
at length in the Lima papers.
The downfall of Flores English expedition
az ainst the Ecuador, being positively known IN
the Pacific, confidence had been entirely restored,
aud the confusion into which this threatened in

subsided
