FOREIGN OFFICE, Nov, II, ls47.
SIR: | have lost no time in communica-
ting TO my colleagues your note of the Sd
inst, on the subject of the Navigation Laws
which regulate the commerce of the Brit
ish empire and that Of the United States,
with each other.
This question had already engaged the
serious attention of her Maies,y's Minis.
tiers; and we would observe with pleasure.
that the sentiments which we entertain
with regard TO it. are shared by the Gov
eminent of country with which we are
so closely united by the ties of an ex,en.
sive commerce and of common origin.
We do not, however. think that we should
be justified in advising the Crown 10 enter
into engagements which would be at vari.
ance with some of the most important prin-
clpes of the existing Navigation Law,
without the previous action of Parliament.
But it is our intention to propose TO Parlia.
ment, without unnecessary delay, measures
which would enable US TO place our com.
mercial intercourse in regard to the mat.
tiers to which your note refers, on The most
liberal and comprehensive basis with res.
pect TO all countries which shall be willing
to act in corresponding spirit towards
US. | am, &c

THE NO-PRINCIPLE PARTY.

These Taylor men, having no principles,
are looked upon by their Locofoco brelh.
rem pretty much as pious Turk looks upon
the Christian dogs who happen TO be in his
country with hatred unto loa,hing. The
idea Of being beaten by no principle par.
ty is morliiying. we must admit, and we
have had some idea of getting up set of
principles for old Zach and his followers
How would il do 10 say we would support
the Constitution as we understood il! That
leaves wide scope TO dodge as the locofo-
cos have done The same successfuv.-
Another thing. we might say we were for
Tariff and then go againstit. That course
helped Mr.. Polk. Again. we conld safely
go in theory for the Sub.Treasury, and in
practice against il, on the ground that il
is an impraclicable scheme. Mr.. Folks
Secretary OF the Treasury does this daily.
We could theoretically assert Direct Tax.
alton TO be the only jus, mode of raising a
revenue, and excommunicate from our DO.
tical church any one who attempted TO
carry Direct Taxation into practice. Mr..
Folks Government Editor, Mr.. Richie.
served Mr.. Wilmoi thus. One very useful
thing would be to take old federal oppo-
nen,s of James Madison and the war of
1912 and wash out their sins by giving
them important Offices, first dyeing them
true blue, in the party dye kettle a, WASH
ington, and then hold up all who had any
recollection Of their original sins as Sian.

We will try and do something to get up
set of principles. if it is only to ease the
fears Of the Progressive Democrats that
they will be defeated by an unpricipled par.

server ofpassing events.
GEN. SCoTr.-The Democratic Review
for the present month, contains the follow.
ing just and manly tribute to Gen. Scott.
at has been intima,ed in some quarter.
that Gen. Scott had called for a Court OF
Inquiry. Without attaching faith to this
rumor, we will not venture TO DENY VIVA,
is so much in harmony with the upright and
fearless character of this remarkable man.
Gen. Scott, throughout his splendid career,
has never, under any circumstances, mani.
tested the smallest disposition to shrink
from the responsibility of his acts Right
or wrong, he was always willing to meet it,
His motives have ever been found pure and
elevated, and his judgment has rarely in
deed been at fault. In his present lofty
position, envroned by dangers of every
sort; exposed 10 ceaseless and vexatious
demands on every side on his time and at.
tention; discharging the onerous duties of
Commander-in.chief, and at The same time
called on to fulfil the important functions
of civil administrator in a sphere entire
ly new to him. and thwarted and deceived
at every step by adversares fierce as they
are treacherous, he would be something
more than man. and just less than angel, if
he fell into no indiscre,ion, committed no
hasty act, or uttered no rash word That
he has deep annoyance 10 struggle with,
Calling provocatons TO endure. no one can
doubt who reflects moment on the fiery
ordeal he has so lately and gloriously gone
through We deem it surperfluous to ut.
ter sentence which may be construed into
anticipatory vindication of this gallan,
commander. His greatness and his errors.
should any such be found, will both bear
the test of scrutiny, and while one will fade
before examination, the other will grow
more radient under the dazzling eyes of
his admiring countrymen. We are pursua.
ded, from the numerous anecdotes that have
reached US from impartial witnesses, that
the various acts of assumption of undue
authority alleged against Gen. Scott, will
be found fully justified by circumstances,
which left no choice, and when hesitation
would have been attended with consequent
ces always serious, and often fatal. As
yet, nothing is known truly or fully Of the
war in Mexico. save its glorious results
When the details of the story are told
when the measures are revealed, and the
machinery. as it were exposed TO the in.
quisi,ive gaze of the bewildered spectator,
then will new ideas be received. and new
opinions formed of these grand events,
which have been the wonder of the world;
and then only will the real merits and ex.
act services Of the actors therein he ascer.

GEN RoBT WILsoN.-We are pleased
to see in our travels through the country
that public sentiment is concentrating on
Gen. Wilson. Of Huntsville, as the most
suitable as well as the most popular person
TO represent this district in Congress. The
General can get the unanimous support of
the wings in the district, and we believe
that hundreds of honest democrats. who are
acquainted with him. will cheerfully give
him their support. He is an old settler in
Missouri, and is well acquainted with the
country, its wants, and its interests; and
we hope to see him nominated by the con.
venton which is to assemble at Boonville.

CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE
MINISTER OF THE UNITED
STATES RESPECTING THE NAV.
IGATION LAWS.
No. III
Mr.. Bancroft to Viscount Palmcrston.
AMERICAN LEGATION, Nov. 8, Is47.


The undersigned. Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United
States of America, has the honor 10 enquire
Of Viscount Pslmerston, her Brittanic Mai.
esty's Principal Secretary of State for For
elgn Affairs, if her Msjesty's Government
Is inclined to remove existing restrictions
on international intercourse.
Universal reciprocity in the widest sense
IS held by the American Government as the
only thoroughly appropriate basis for in
tercourse between two great nations. The
prohibition of the indirect trade has but
restrained enterprise; it has done good to
neither country. To abiogate it, would at
once set free dormant commercial wealth,
without iniuring any one.
Should her Majesty's Government enter.
tain tie same views, the undersigned is pre-.
pared. IN the part of the American Cow
eminent, to propose that British ships NAV
trade from any port in the world TO any
port in the United States; and be received,
protected, and in respect to charges and
duties, treated like American ships; if re-
clprocally, American ships may in like
manner trade from any port in the world
to any port in the dominion of her Britain.
nic Majesty.
The removal of commercial restrictions,
while it would be Of mutual advantage 10
the material interests of both countries,
could not but give openings 10 still further
relations Of amity between them; and by
its influence on the intercourse of nations,
create new guarantees for the peace of the
world.

more interesting than an amiable young lady rev
ceving her company. ministering to their smuse>
ments. mixing in every little tide Of talk. and
directing the whole pleasant but intricate ma
chinery ofa party. 1t requires something that
may be called talent to entertain company with
grace and ease--to draw out the retiring charac.

acquaintance afford wit its proper nutriment,
and fancy its glittering flashes. A large party
contains dispositions. tempers. likings. anti,

which is to be constructed happiness. delight and
enjoyment. 1t is the peculiar province Of women,
in polite society, to cement the different elements
ofhappines together by her plastic hand. In
such situation her skill is most seen as we'll q.
felt. Those females who do It we'll. have The
reward in the very act.

HAPPIEST DAYS.

They tell US, Love, tina. you and
Our happiest days are seeing,
While yet is shut from others eye
The change that waits on being
All! life they says weary way
With less OF Joy than sorrow,
For where The sun light falls to-day
There'll be shade to morrow.
II ours be love that will not bear
The test Of change and sorrow,
And only deeper channels wear
In passing 10 EACH morrow
Then better were il that TO day
We fervently were praying
That what we have might pass away
While we the words were saying.
The heart hath depths Of bitterness
As we'll as depths Of pleasure,
And those who love. love not unless
They both Of these can measure;
There is time, and it will come,
When this they mus, discover.
And wo! If either then be dumb
To power that moved the Lover!
There are some spots where each will fall,
And each will need sustaining;
And suffering is the lot Of all,
And is Of Gods ordaining:
Then wherefore do our hearts unite
In bonds ha! none can sever,
II not to bless each changing light,
And strengthen each endeavor?
Then while these happy days we bless.
Let US no doubt be sowing;
Gods mercy never will be less,
Though He should change the showing;
Such be our faith as on we tread.
Each trusting and obeying,
As two who by His hand are led,
And hear what He is saying.

STEAM.

Steam heated separate from water has
different properties from that heated over
water. Thus, the steam in the pipe which
conducts it from the boiler TO the engine
may be heated till it becomes rare enough
to pass through cast iron, and will readily
escape at the joints and it sometimes does
happen that boilers are effectively set, SO
as 10 produce a similar result.
