he would not say to Europe that he believed we .

no war, this additional force to our navy would be
unnecessary; if war shOnld come, it would be suf

policy of the country, idopted immediately after

he was willing, to adoo a matured plan for the

Tax FOII.EIGN. NEws.—The News by the last
/rrival is important in two . respects. It con
dJusively shims that the War Party in England,
or at least those who were even suspected of being
- •
favorable to a Wor, could not form a Cabinet •of
sufficient strength to administer the GovernMent
effectively,and therefore abandoned the reigns of
Power—consequently their:will be no war unless
provoked by thecourse of our Government.
The next impoitant feature is, alit the Corn:
Laws will not be repealed for the present—btit
will unquestionably be modified considerObly.—
!Sir Robert Peel, we presume, would never have
afreed the reigns of Power, unless animportant
concession - had been made on that point.
Should any • reduction take place in the
Coru Laws, it Will lie made a pretext for the,re
duction of the present Tariff, by the friends of
Free Trade. on the ground that our Government
ought to meet the English half way. 'This is cer
tainly an erroneous conclusion - to arrive at. If a_
material reduction ink the Corn Laws takes place;
the manufacturing interests of Great Britain will
be greatly benefited, and a reduction in the price
of their manufactures would ; unquestionably fol•
low. If then protection to our manufactures were
required before, how much greater will the neces
sity be of adhering to the Protective Bystein here
after Bngland now.takes all the produce re
anima to feed het poPulation,when her own crops
fail, from foreign countries, and she would take no
more if the corn laws were repealed or modified.
The value of the make, abroad for our broad-stuffs
is Meetly overrated,-we are too tar Off.- The grain
growing countries of Europe, from their proximity
to the English market, .would pour in their sm
plus;and supply the extra demand caused by the
destruction of the Corti Laws, iOni before any
important supply could be received from this coun
try. The Barge view 'of thts• subject is taken by
the f i rencb paper in New yort.„ as the following

'ARRIVAL OF THE--HIBERNIA
TWIMTT-TWO Dllll tATICIS PROS scators.
The Steamship Hibernia arrivedat Boston on
Friday last, after a passage of 18 da ys. The New
York Tribune, in connection - with other papers,
ran an elms' through from *oaten, arriving in
New York , at 10 o'clock the same erienings The
news was then oxpressed through to Philadelphia)
and was published in extras fromthe offices of the
-N
'orth American, and United States Gazette, early,
on Satardey morning. •
The arrival of. the Liberty gave us information'
that Peel and his associates in the Cabinet had :el
signed., The papers brought by the Hibernia
give us intelligence of the restoration of the old
Cabinet, with three or four ezeeptions. Lord
'ohn Russel could Mot fora► a Cabinet. The.
main cause of his failure was the refusal of Lord
Grey.to take a place in the-Cabinet, if Lord Pal.
morston was placed at the; head of. Foreign
fairs. .„
•
Speaking of the changes in the Cabinet, the
..European Times" says
Lord, John Russell tbreiv up his tards,
there was no alternative but to send for Peel ; and
the most extraordinary move in this drama of Cab
inet-making is that he felt.as little, apparent hesi
tation in resuming his old office, ;as he evinced
promptness in throwing it up. His resumption
of power immediately: made itself felt 'lr dvery
branch of trade. Confidenele, which bad been
shattered by the Railway panic, became' paralixed
When it was known that Peel•rvas out; the Mar
kets fall, the funds slink; business was suspended,
and a - gloom, a mist, hung over 'the commercial
and trading world. Theso evils arifast subsiding
with the causes which ealledlhein into existence.
Nobody ., knows what peel will de, but every one
his confidence in Peel-4 singular proof of the
hold which one powerful mind has over the sym
pathies and prospects of millions of . people. The
London Examiner wittily observes, to reference to
this prevailing feeling :'‘'The beauty of 'the cpres
int juncture is, that nobody knows What' Sit Ro
bert Peel is going to do, and yet . every body is
'satisfied that he is the man to do • nobody knows
what." „. ,
The Presidenes Message arrived in England on
the "22d ult., in .the Packet Ship "Sea." The
tone of the Biitish Press in relation to , this docu
'tient is not so belligerent as was expected..-. We
give below some extracts from thri'leatting
cal journals, in relation to the Igraine. - •
The Times Will of course, be Or-at lbolied to. It
is in every the most powerful and refluen
cial Jouinal, upon parties anirand politica, in the
world ; and although iri the general` tendency cif
itr course it is Conservative, ye[ • it spares no party
nor any man that fairly earn its censure.
'en the subject of the . Tariff Mr. Pulp's Free
Trade notions exactly please Metz Tinies- r -as ,iu•
•dcedijall the other papers. Your English Journal,
whether Whig, Tory, Radical, or Cobservative,,is
sure' to pat Brother' Jonathan on the back when
. - •
_ever ho talks about his Free Trade predilections.
On this subject the unanimity is
,truly wonderful!
As. to Oregon, the Times. says, 'after a some
what searching analysis of the Message:
"The terms of the Messageimply; then, the, al
'ternative of war, or conclusive negotiation.. War .
is to monstrous to .be thought, of for' a moment,
except after every effort at a compromise has been
exhausted. Britain and Americamust' nbe too
'sensible o f their mutual •benefits; mutual -depen
dence, and mutual respect, to, peril the substantial
' -
blessinffs they_ now' enjoy, and aro'daily multiplj4-

unnatural ileatruyers fur a, mere Point: of honor, for

. journey of many Months; brstortny seas, and al
most impassablecrcielis and deserts, Unless Mr'.
Polk is merely trifling ; with' words,' and secretiy
scoffing at thelutik , eria sentirnents.ot humanity,
he is himself iticapable`,.of so great ,an otitkace'and
injury on the country of his ancestors, on.the land
of his birth, and the Whole race of man. "What

to nothing that is • wrong!" and his farther .boast
thatis hii"aniimis'desire to preserve peace with
all That the Union should be anxious
to 'heatihis sore, end should think it unmanly and
impolitiitortequeath a quarrel to posterity, is nut:
oral enough. That they should think to strength
en their claim with strong language, is also in con
formity with many examples. But if the deasion
is to beeptedy, it can unlYbe by negbtiation, either
by reference, or by - a recurrence to the method
•wnich, in the case of, the disputed' boundary on
o l ur Canadian frontier; proved so entirely successful.
The follbwing,exthict from th;Chronicle strews
what are the views oE' the leading'English Whig
Journal, upon that part of the Message relating
to Oregon : ' . • • , - .
"One topic of the many adverted to in ibis document"
will just now engross the attention of the English peg=
pie—" What does Mr. Polk say 4,r tlie Oregon'!" lie
recommends that notice be given to termihate,-at the 1
end of twelve months, the conventi..n cf 1827, by which
the two countries jointly occupy the diskied territory.
"4t the end . of. the year's, notice," he adds, "should
Congress think it proper,to Make provision for giving
that notice,lve shall have reached a period When the
national rights in Oregon must either, be a bandoned.or
&n
e„ maintained." And long before the end of the
years hotic say we, "should Congress' make Finn iL
pion for giving that notice," the two `countries would
be almost irretrievably driven to thh - calantitous issue
of arms. Front the dapthat England receives notice to
terminate, the convention oT in 27, she must prepare
**firmiy to maintain' the rights that amities menaced;
and it-would he filly to-suppose that the Government
of Ameriedwould rest satisfied with the barren'nothi.

pare to maintain-each its . ant,me right by rirce (daring,.

hn amicable settlement of a question that has glicasly
barged the negotiation of so many years. 7
put we do not believe that the question can be broti‘ght
to mach 'atv ,We do dot PhiniiPhat "Con-,
pent gill make pitairision'•' for giving, effect s lo Mr.
Polk's trusane mongers. There are vanolis confident ;
tionsaviiacia lead us to this conclusititi. ThePolicy . of
the Executive Government iridinurrica,: is but the re
flex of the opinions of the party or interest predonilninl
for the time being, changing as 'these .opinions, vary,
and necessarily adjusting itself to every difTermice its
it arises. The greatagriculturaftnterest pithOVent,
