The P.es.denrs ares.age In England

! W.
President BrcnASAs's Message was
/ printed in fall in most Of the leading Eng
liah journals.
The Times says that there IS nothing in
/ the message that can be called more than
usually interesting. Whether the Chief
Magistratc Of the United Stat. discusses
domestic or foreign affairs, We hear only
what We might have expected; at home
material progress, and abroad visions Of
/ territorial aggrAnaz meat make up the sui
stance Of his communication. 1t then
/ briefly criticises its prominent point, and
I says IN regard 70 external affairs:
/ For peaceful nation the United States
| are certainly most unfortunate in their poit-
/ ical relations. a quarrel with the United
/ States on some subject or other is matter
/ Of course without one, a Pres dents Mes
slge would read tame aud meagre. Mr..
/ Buchanan therefore cyinc,s laudable
anxiety to keep one in reserve. Great
Britain after having given up the right Of
! search, Mr.. Buchanan pays US many COM
/ plimeuts upon our moderation but declines
to suggest any means by which Spanish or
/ South American ships hosting the United
| States flag can be nteritrred with"
! II then refers 10 Mr.. BUcHANAS's refer.
cDce to the slayo-trade, and his original pro.
| pros!ton for lis suppression, and says that
/ his arguments in regard to .he cesson of
| Cuba are such as HANAY might have used
when he wanted 10 purchase the vineyard
which was nigh to his palace, IND that it
would be superiluods TO point oat the ex.
quisite force Of the argument. The Times
| then sketches the Presidents views in re-
gard to Mexico and Central America, and
/ concludes rs follows:
| 1t is evident that the utter decrepi,ude OF
the spanish race, both north ard south of
4 the lsthmus, is about to lead to the virtual
supremacy Of the Anglo Americans in the
/ whole of the tropical regions.
There is no need Of affected moderation
Oh their part. and philanthropy which few
/ will credit. The fact ia plain enough, that
/ Mexico, and Central America, aud the great
/ Spanish Island. will soon be under their
/ sway. direct or indIn Ct. For our own part,
W. sc iltlle 10 regret 10 the prospect. ex-
f cept the extension and parQetia,i0a OF slave
/ rs IN Mexico and tbe other new Territories.
+ Bar that the Americans nigh; gam in the
end by forming States under the equator, We
do not believe. The European race becomes
tot only cnieebcd but G3morased by q

public hls already suffered enough from the
men OF the South to mike il Cautious how
it urus the Spanish main into the home of
Am.rjcan ctlzens."
The DriY .Ngtc' reviews the Message in
connection with Mr. Buchanans recent let
ter 10 the Committee al the celebration at
Pittsburgh. |, argues that the Presidents
policy IN regard To CUBA and Mexico is in
tended as couciIia,ion 20 the South. and
predicts that nothing viii be done at pr sSent
toward the annexation Of Mexico. IL takes
exception to the view taken Of Fngland's
supposed concessions abont the searching of
suspected slayers, and concludes by hoping
that tGe people will accept the admonitions
in the Pittsburgh letter, not by boiling their
tongues about particular form Of danger,
/ bit by dealing with The causes OF disgDion
and corruption, and Ivy recovering the prn-
Cip,cs and spirit Of their Constitution, tath.
cr than by false idolatry Of IL form.
The NrHug Pot confines t. remarks to
the Presidents policy in regard to Cuba,
and deBou1ccs 1t in strong terms.
The Nar refers 10 the Central American
question, derreclies the President request
to BE- allowed to employ iorce in the protec-
ton q the Transit rOa;e, and doubts wbeth.
or the European powers would quietly per-
nit the exercise at an exclusive protsclorate
by America over the lsthmus.
The rest OF the London papers comment
on the d0cGm III with mixtarg Of si'isfsc-
ton aEi dissatisfaction.
The Manchester GuGrdnE, in objacting
to The proposition that the Presidut should
be- armed with power ~ use f0ror in the pro-
.ec;ioa Of the isthmg'. says: That be.
tw-ar the expedition, Of Waiker and t;a
