not however, believe that prices win undergo any
farther decline, or that anything can prsvsnt IN

article the Mail alludes 10 the Black Warrior az

Foreign Ahaies. seems TO be waiting for the Presi

The Enquirer, referring to the prevailing anxiety
In respect to the policy which the British Govern
ment intends to pursue ia the impending war,
touching the immunties Of neutral commerce, says
the inevitable effect of another continental war will
oe to throw the trade of the world into the hands of
American enterprise, and to transfer to the United
states the supremacy of the seas The only posi-
biiify which clouds this brilliant prospect consists
In denying to the United States the legitimate ad-
vantages of it's neutral position. The ENQUIRER
says, however, that negotiations are in progress
between the United States and the British Govern.
menf In order to procure some guarantee against
tue interruption of our commerce in the progress
Oh tne war; in order that the enterprise of the AIMEE
rican merchant may not be fettered by the appre-
nension OF unforeseen disaster. The negotiation
has not been unsuccessful, and the next steamer
will doubtless bring intelligence Of an assurance by
the British Government that the neutral rights of
the United States viii be scrupulousIy respected

suppose that of justice constrained the Bri.

energetic remonstrance from the State Department,
induced relaxation Of those severe rules Of mari

burnt or sunk in something like the twinking of an
eye In view of the wisdom and wickedness of
this degenerate age, the Whig is prepared to be-
lieve any thing, no matter how improbable or as
tounding and hopes that President Pierce, for the
sake of his country's honor, and chiefly "for the
sake of his own reputation military ch ieitain'
will forthwith provide himself with .'infernal ma
chimes" il he has not already done So 1t will
never do for him to let the military foges of Eu.
rope get the advantage of the proud and chvalrous
representative of Young America. A little "Greek
fire" few "aoating guns," an internal machine"
or two, is all he wants to make him immortal R
An agriculturist, who has tried the experiment
satisfactorily, says that a few seeds of tomato
