Times, in reference TO the Presidents message
says:
"The Presidents message gives hopeful as
surance that The American Tariff, 80 far as re
CARDS British goods. will be maintained, and ha.
given the English manufacturers cheerful pros
pee, for their trade for the coming Spring.
"The last message of President Polk, which
was received in This country few days ago. hal
been assaiied by the whole Of the press, and ugly
names have been given 10 The process OF reason
ing in which the President accounts for The Mex
lean war. One passage has been strongly com
meDted uPon,-Ihat in which he states that TIT
| war was mol undertaken With The view 10 con
quest.
ave can call TO mind no similar documen
during our time which has been less fayorably
received in England from this il may be inferred
that The annexation OF California, of which Com
modore Stockton has laken possession as terri
Tory OF The United States, is even less popular il
England than was The annexation Of Teyas."
