tutions, dread our Increasing power and influ-
ence, and would adopt any policy, consistent
with their own safety, to check our progress,
disgrace our arms, or dismember our Union
Europe looks backwards, America looks for
ward. The future of the United States opens a
prospect OF unbounded happiness and influence,
If the people and their public men are true to
themselves, and wise in their generation The
prospect OF Europe, as far as the eye of predic-
ton can accurately reach, is full of changes,
connections, tumults, instructions, and revou-
hons-leadlng, probably, after long series of
events, to peace and probable prosperity, under
more liberal system of governments.
l came to Europe for the purpose of studying
out these new relations of the two continents
produced by the wonderful physical improve
ments of the age In England, in France, in
Italy, in Germany, everywhere, | have been
busy on these objects Every statesman and
every journalist ought to go through the same
process Of calm investigation into these new
and weighty relations. This cannot be done in
hurried tour of few summer months,
through France and England, with a run to
Baden, or to the Alps. You must 20 leisurey
on your way, as contemplative student
and philosopher; calmly investigate the shapes
and tendencies of all the elements of civil
lization, and resolutely work out their diff
ferences compared with the United
States. l have done so, from the minute to
the comprehensive embracing politics, gov
eminent, religion, society, art, philosophy, and
particularly the press. The state and condition
of the press, and its connection with govern
ment and the people, have studied with care.
For this purpose l have visited almost every
capital, or city of note in Europein living, fer
menting, changing, transition Europe. On my
return to New York, think, with these investi-
cations and facts, shall be able to do something
for the American press, that will aid, somewhat,
the onward march of the republic to greatness,
power, and dignity. AT all events, will try

FROM New BRuNswIcK.-By Gunnison's Ex-

which we make the following cxtracts:--
The weather with US has undergone most agreeable
change-although the wind, which has prevailed from
the eastward for days past brings with 1t chill

favorable for putting in the crops and learn from the

Good American -four is held at eleven dollars per

FROM TIE cry OF MEXICO.


BY the papers irom the capital 10 9a6
June, received ria lampico, by the Gal.
weston, We learn that though there was II
quorum ot the members o Congress aell-
ally in the city, they had not yet been able
10 GET them together. II would, therefore,
appear, that the feporl was not correct,
that Congress had declined to treat lar

city yesterday, and was said to have

The other report, that Gen. Sect, alief
a council of War, ON the lsl Of July, had
determined 10 advance on the capital the

also incorrect, A. he had given the enemy
