UNEASY ABOUT THE UNITED STATES
The London papers are uneasy about the
rapid strides the United States is making
in the great contest for commercial supre-
macy. The Mercantile Gazette remarks
that the possession OF the Bay of San
Francisco, with its numerous harbors, can
not fail to give the United States the com.
plete command of the Pacific Ocean and
all its coasts and Islands. This, it says
Great Britain ought never to have suffered
She would not, probably, ifshe could have
helped it.
The same paper is also troubled about
Cuba, and asserts that Great Britain ought
not to have allowed the annexation of Tex.
,as-and had this been prevented, Amer
lea would not now be in possession Of Cal
ifornia. England should take care, il
says. that the views of the "ambitious Mr.
Polk" who on several occasions, threw
significant hints that the stripes and stars
should be the only flag recognized over the
whole continent of America, are not car
ried further; by which, we suppose, our
neighbors across the water, begin to fear
that Canada may be annexed. Well
stranger things than that have happen.
