T'A SXFE PREsIDENr" THE Savannah ere
Tdblican" impressvely invites the attention Of men
OF all parties and persuasons the lovers of peace
and the lovers of law and order, the conservative
and the progressst the American born and the for
eigner who has cast his lot among us, to the posi-
tion which, in the Of the steamship U. States
Gen. Taylor has assumed in regard 10 the present
condition of Europe. There is moral grandeur in
the determination disclosed (says the Republican,
% devotion to peace patriotic regard for the true
Interests ofthis mighty republic and firm resolution
to watch over and guard it from all harm, and to
hold it on in the noble career marked out for us by
tho Father of his Country, which should not fail to
find ready response inevery American bosom. Pres
ident Taylor's policy is wise one, his determine
tion patriotic and, while predetermined Eactionisis
may exhaust the vocabulary Of billihgsgate for
terms of abuse and vituperaton, the nation, the
great mass Of the people, will rally to his support,
and sustain and uphold him. This is part of his
administrative policy" which has been so sheer
ingIy alluded TO, Peace! Peace with all the world
this is his doctrine Good faith ana Justice towards
ali nations, "-''peace and harmony with all the
world" 1t will be seen (says the same paper) as
his Administration progresses, and its policy is de-
yeloped, that there is an Americanism about it
which cannot fail to commend it to all right minded
men.

The UNITED STATES AND GREAT BRITAIN-
The English journals (says the Baltimore Ameri-
CAM pertaining To the landed interest are express
sing alarm at The importation of American Bread
stutfs and provisions into the markets of England
\ They predict ruin to the British as ricuturist
The impoverished condition of Ireland which
really seems to be approaching state of utter mis-
cry and restitution, has prevented the usual sup
plies Of provisions which that country, even when
her own population was suffering and starving con-
tinued to send the Channel. Irish landlords
bfesidiug in London, must have their rents to ena-
bic them to live In luxury and style and these
rents were drawn not In money of which Ireland
has not much, but in the products of her soil and
her industry. But now everything seems to fail
lin that oppressed Island. Her resources are ex-
hausted; her industry anguishes; her people are
broken in heart and hope.
The failure or diminution of the usual importa
,tions from Ireland has caused increased demand
IN England for American flour and provisions. The
Liverpool Mail says:
.., The United States sends US what ruined Ireland
cannot send. America is our shambles-she sends
us manufactured flour-she is our orchard-she will
be our potato garden. And she will continue TO be
50 as long as we have national debt and nearly
x30,O00,0OQ pay annually to the national credi-
TOT. What we suboin is nothing to what we shall
hereafter disclose, but we proceed by exhibiting
samples.
There were imported into Liverpool, for the week
ending the 9th Jnne, the following articles :-S65

We have in the annexed letter, copied from the

respecting the apprehended troubles in Lower Cal
Hernia: ;,.ss., so.
SAN JOSE, Lower California, q
April 30th, lSi9. s,
Having had the misfortune TO- be partially ship
wrecked near this port, the route from Mazatlan
to San Francisco the passengers, consisting IN part
Of the New England Pioneers, from Boston aud the
Georgia mining company. have attempted the land
route thruugh Lower California to San Francisco.
This route, although much travelled of late by
Msxicans removing to the mines, is esteemed very
toilsome journey, owing to tile scarcity OF food and
water after you leave the hiounlan districts, until
YOU reach San Diego. The excitement in Lower
in the States. Over 1000 Nlexicans have left Low
er California for the mines, and in most Of the towns
the Gulf shore the men have nearly all deserted.
Horses aud mules all being driven to Upper
California under the impression that they will bring
from $500 to $500 at San Francisco. Most of The
emigrants intend settling ON the San joaquin, and
the emigration from this section and the Western
States of Mexico will far exceed that from the u.
States for the coming year. ..-...,... =.
Those emigrating from Durango aud chihuahua
(Chiuwawa ) are mostly settling ON the Cla river,
and the Americans who desire mining on the ella
are dissuaded by the disparity of their numbers
and the fear Of the Mexicans. $4,000 stands of
English muskets have been sent To the mouth of the
ella from Mazatlan aud the rumors are that ii Is
the intention Of the ueccdn government TO contest
the action IF our Commissioners IN relation TO The
boundary, and claim The ,chole Of the rich mines on
the Gila and its tributaries. That such arms have
been shipped 10 some pint up the gulf is certain
saw one of the vessels freighted with muskets
ready for sailing. The distance from St. Joseph's
10 San Francisco, via San Diego is variously esti-
mated by the Mexicans at from 10 to 1900 miles
They can fofm correct estimation of distances
except bysday's travel muleteer lately returned
to this port from the San joaquin (San Wakeen,)
brings marvellous reports of the increasing richness
of the mines, and company of five MeXicans are
reported to have gained over 700 lbs lump gold
from working vein. Nearly all the English min
ers from Mexico their way TO the mines, and
there will scarcely be a foreigner left throughout
Mexico There are five passenger vessels reported
at Mazatlan mp for San Francisco-price passage
from SIS TO $50.
