Somewhat oddish at the East India news they
are sending Us BY nearly every steamer. Their
journals have not yet exhausted The fayorite
theme Of American rapacity; Their moralists
and legislators have hardly ceased to express
indignant as onishment at our ageressiye spirit,
cOyetous Of &c possessions Of our next neigh
ors-covetous of Cuba, which we will not
bind ourselves never to accept even by peace
full cession, and covetous of Mexico, whose
wild lands we would not tale, alter we had
conquered then, except by prchase- when,
presto change, accounts come to Us on the
wings of steam of heirdoings in the far East
and the magnificent style in which they are
enatching away provinces and kingdoms from
their oriental neighbors, to add to the world
betting empire on which the sun never sets.
We suppose It is the distance which makes the
difference. Cuba and Mexico are at our doors;
Birmah is quite at the other end of the earth.
At all events, it's very certain that we hear
nothing Of English rapacity and the aggressive.
spirit Of the Briton ii this matter. The jonrn-
ais chronicle the fact; the philanthropists and
Legislators are in excellent good humor; and n
exquisite moral i given to the story by the
kind Of innocent frankness, the happy uncon-
sciousness Of ANYTHING strange or wrong, with
which our fortunate relations send US word Of
their proceedings. The province Of Pegu, say
the English journals, has been formally, by
public proclamation, annexed to the British
East India possessions; and, in case the EN-
peror doss not Immediately confirm the seizure
BY treaty, he is to be dethroned, and his whole
empire subdued All this sounds very natural
and Insignificant. Il does MT strike one as
smaking much difference whether the British
take the whole empire, or only part of it.
In reality, Birmah is large and populous
State and, upfp the present time, has been
deemed one Of the most important and promis-
ing Of the 1enaing independent Asiatic en-
pires. It's people are semi-ciyiliEed- cultivated
to degree far above that of mere bafbarians

Siamese, the Thibetians. or the Chinese, their
