 OLD EUnOPE AND Yorxc AAEmoA.- Europe goes on dreaming of ths proud efas of her former proud glory, and though de- eEipt and falling from the active seeds oG all kinds of eorFuptions, still she canno. give credit to the prodigies of the rising people of America, whom she views in the light of adventurers and pdrrannses.
 Cherishing the prejudices of England, she takes species of indirect fauery and eulog- ian, the various nisrepsesentations which are made by calculating enemy about the American expeditions made in Mexico.
 According to European journals. both the land and sea fnrces of the United States are badly accoulred, ill-disciplined, wasting away under diseases, frequently mutinous, and cannot long withstand being dispersed like clouds by the formidable aud numerous ar my Of the heroic generalissimo, Santa Auna.
 All these accounts, which are merely the imaSiniHSs of frivolous journalists, and of- Tered in species of homage to the credultiiy uf Europe, are proved to be false by the a1- theniic accounts recently received, and which bear on their face the impress of undoub,ed impartiali,y.
 Open map of the United States and Mexi- co, look at the line of operations by sea and land of the forces of the Union and one would be inclined to believe that the great genius of Csrnot and Bonaparle suggested the plans pursued by the American generals in Mexico, and the brilliant success of France during the invasions of Belgium, Germany, and itaiy, had been translated across the At- lantic.
 fleet of vessels is overrunning the eoas. of California, some three hundred leagues in extent, and has in three months effected the conquest of that territory, where, moreover, they are hailed with delight by the Mexican population as liberators
 During three hundred days, a body of i've thoueand men. under the command of Gen. Kesrnsy, effected the conques, o. New Mexi- co without blow.
 Another army under the command of Gen Taylor, has taken Ma,amoras. Monterey, Sal tillo. and marched on Victoria, which is an equal distance from Monterey and Tampico, where the three American generals, Kearney, Taylor and Wool will meet and concentrate their forces
 Another fleet has taken Tampico, the best port in the Gulf; the troops were landed. the place fortified, and in a few weeks only this fouushing town is made a new centre fer Mexican commerce in the United States, and the army that occupied it marched to Victor 6n Ina of all tbs
 All these conquests, the immensily of which il is that renders them apparently fab ulous, are carried into effect by tlie same prestige as the almost miraculous invasion of Germany and Italy, by the young Gen. Bonaparte, who only had unpaid and nnac- eou,rsd soldiers under his command. all however young and volunteers, and in- splred by patriotism and love of glory.
 Bouaparie carried liberty to the other side of the Alps; and at the sight of the French flag, the population arose and hailed the vic- tor as a preserver, and one sent by the A. mighty. M
 On the coas. of California and Mexico. on the banks of the Rio Gran,le and at Tamp- co, the same kind of generals and soldiers were present, and :he same immense and glorious results.
 The American soldiery are also the sons of agricul.urists, as volunteers, and their on- ly ambition is the gloIy oftheir country and the deliverance ofsn enslaved people. Their generals, volunteer like themselves, without any more experience of war or commanding, than Bonaparie had at his dtbui, have like the European heroes. concentrated the force of mnd, will, and promises of liberty.
 Let us pause an instant to make an essen- tial remark. Mexico is inhabited by various kinds of inhabiIans wiio are often al civil en- mily, she is annually almost prey to the excesses of some new revolution, and is al- ways treated as a conquered nation by ihe various victorious generals. In ,lis invasion by the American army she sees an end .o all her difficulties, and a road opened to pros- perity and greatness. Hence the issue of the various comhais has been promptly decided d In vain does England, the enemy of the country she formerly possessed, but which she lost at the cannon's mouth, in vain does she present Santa Anna with an heroic army of twenty thousand men; in vain does sine suppose in her cowauly and envious fore thought, tha, all Mexico has arisen, and that the handful of Americans five hundred leagues oG from the principal cities of the Union, win be devastated by the climate, diseases, death, and finally by Santa Annals trooI s We preiic, that before the end of the year lSA7, Taylor will plan. the American flag iu the immense capital of Mexico, in the pala- ees of montezDma and Cortez.
