What is the cause Of this great difference in
the number of passengers by these steamers
There are two first, that New York is the com.
mercial emporium of the country; and second,
that the travelling COMMUNICATIVE American
portion of it-desire to show their disapproba-
ton of the ungenerous conduct and contemplate
jealousy manifested by the British government
because we attempted to compete with them in
navigating the ocean with steam vessels.
This will always be the case, if our steamships
will but make as good and as rapid passages as
the Cunard vessels do. Men of business, who
travel on business, care nothing about waiting
two or three days for an American steamship to
sail, if they are satisfied that it will make as
good passage as any OF the others.
We are pleased to see this exhibition of feel
ing on the part of the American people. oes
honor to them, and will, besides, have good ef-
feet on the other side Of the water. There can
be no doubt that the course of the British govern
ment towards our steamers on the postage ques-
lion, was dictated by jealousy aud chagrin, and
with desire-hopeless aud vain, to be sure
that 1t might ipjure the American line.

OCEAN STEAM NAvIGATIoN-THE BRITISH AND
AMERICAN STEAMsHIPs.-The following facts in
regard to the British and American steamships
are, we think, worthy of passing remark.
The British steamship Caledonia left Boston
on Tuesday last, with twenty passengers for
Liverpool, and the American steamship Wash
ington will leave here to-day with about fifty.
At all events, at twelve o'clock yesterday, forty
three berths were engaged in her, and the pro-
liability is that the number will reach fifty, and
perhaps more, at the time of her sailing An

| could accomplish it. II is true, that Lord John
Russell and one or two of the insignificant men,
bers OF the British government, NAV get I'D in
Parliament, and say a few words occasionally. in
compliment to our generous acts, as was the case
In the benefactions sent to Ireland; but thew and
they alene-the leaders of the Parliament are
responsible for the atrocous calumnies ne m.
British press, in its whole length, breadth and
dirty depth. The Prime Minister of England
and his associates encourage the caIumnies of
the press-hep them on-assist them-aid them
IN the work of defamation against this country.
Well, be it SO. The United States are now
presented in new position before the world.
We occupy the whole of Mexico by as legiti-
mate title as England does India, or any of her
other foreign possessions; or France does AL
gers, or any other of its colonies. If the Next
can people, or the remains of the Mexican 60
vernment, refuse to make terms-to give US Sc
curity for the future, and indemnity for the past
1T is very possible that temporary possession Of
the whole Of that republic may be determined
upon by our government. We do not apprehend
any change in the national psicy by the result
OF the ensuing Presidential election; nor do we
believe that fraction of the American mind of
the present day is disposed to adopt the outrs and
old-fashioned recommendations Of Mr.. Clay.
In the present state of affairs, it will be we'll for
England and every other power of Europe that
possesses territory on this side of the Atlantic,
to ponder on the policy they may pursue to-
wards the United States. Let either France or
England, or any other government in unison
with them, raise threatening finger towards
this country, as regards the position in which
we stand towards Mexico, and spirit will be
aroused that never will rest until every vestge
of European domination on this continent be
driven across the waters of the ocean. Canada,
Cuba, and the West Indies, are ripening. We
have, in this land, half million of Just such
troops as have conquered Mexico, and driven,
IN fifty battles, five and ten times their number,
like sheep, before them. Our navy can be
doubled, and trebled, and quadrupled in year
or two; and that arm Of the public service is
burning for an opportunity to emulate, at least,
If not to rival, the glorious deeds of the army
Let, therefore, the European governments and
the European press, in the present position of az
fairs, take care how they proceed in their abu.
slve and calumnious policy towards the United
States. On this side of the Atlantic we will not
long suffer the British government, skulking, like
an assassin In the dark, to stab US through its
press, over the columns of which they possess
control. We will make the government, the
cabinet, the minister, responsible for the atrc-
cious calumnies that they illuminate day after
day, against the character institutions and deeds
of this country. So now, let Lord John Russell
eat up this hasty plate OF SOUP" and then try
to squeeze Rothschild into the House Of Com
mons, if he can.

The Dsspatchss-Ths Conquest Of Mexico.

The dispatches of General Scott and his brave
associates in arms have been before the COM
munity sufficient time to be read by all. They
form some of the most brilliant military records
Of the age. They give, in most eloquent
language-eloquent because it is simple-a brief
history Of the second conquest OF Mexico, out
stripping in its grandeur, Its rapidly, and its
skill, that achieved by the chivalric fernando
Cortez Of another age. For several days the
twenty-five millions of people of this republic
will be engaged in perusing these extraordinary
papers. They will produce an impression on the
American people deeper, more lasting, than has
been created since the war of the revolution
itself They will awaken in the hearts of this
republic general and overwhelming sentiment
of chivalry, devotion, and nationality, which
will give new direction to the destiny of the
nation. For the first time in the history of this
republic, since the revolution, the American
pulse will beat in unison, from the mouth of the
Hudson to the mouth Of theIOregon-from the
borders of Canada to the limits Of the Rio
Grande.
But this is not all. BY the steamer which
goes to Europe this day, these dispatches will
be taken, and will be republshed to the civilized
world, through the journals Of London and Paris.
The deeds Of General Scott and his brave army
cannot now be belittled or subjected to the ridi-
Guile of the mouth-pieces and atrocious organs
published under the auspices of the governments
of France and England. For eighteen months
the journals OF those capitals have b,en engaged
in the most atrocious and treacherous service o.
classifying, decrying, defaming and degrading
the brilliant deeds of the American arms in
Mexico, in every possible way which genius
