4 00 e N 41 , Gazette of Tuesday, con
:tains nearly a column, in reply to our article of Mon
.litlys The editor is evidently in a passion; be has
titian bn readers a Morning repast of low abuse; if
they are content, we certainly will not complain.—
Perhaps it would be proper to remind him, however,
that he commenced, in every instance, the discussions
which have passed between us. In our reply, which
.411 1 / 1 10 mach excited his wrath, we treated him fairly; we
'did not given representation of what was said by him.
. 1 1ltat we clipped the paragraphs remarked upon from
:his paper, and published them precisely as we found
'them, in order that there may be no mistake, the
attention of the render is again directed to the pare
:graphs of the Gazette, upon which our remarks were
predicated. Here they are:
ssThe last arrivals from England bring accounts of a
navel review by the Queen of a squadron lying at Brit
headressidy for see, of the following vessels : The
Queen, of 110 guns, Albion 90, Trufalgnr 120, St
Vincent 120, Rudney 92. Vanguard 80, Superb 80,

'would be with steamers and ships from the West India.
and Halifnx stations, what would become of our lit
tle navy."
"A word as to the possibility of Gran Britain inter
fering in our quarrel with Mexico. That power pos
sesses as much of this continent as we do, and may
possibly. arry, will probably, any that she has as good
a right to interfere in any thing circling her it:fer
ia& agate has in Europe, Asia, or South America.
Whet is her practice there? The latest advices from
Montevideo say that the British, in conjunction with the
French, (with whom they seem nt present to have an
excellent understanding;) have notified the government
of Buenos Ayres that the war which wages wi.h Mon-
Unlace must cease—it is against British and French
interests that it should continue. Recently the British
government told the French government that it could
not permit the French to permanently occupy one foot
of the Empire of Morocco. The French protnptly
disavowed any intention of doing so. Turkey, it is
also notorious, has long been uph. Id because Great
Britain will not admit either Russia or any other pow
er to occupy it. The rule with Great Britain ap
pears to be, to interfere wherever her interests may
seem to call far it, and me may depend upon it, she
will weigh in the balance the valve of the cnstom
against the probability of our turning (after we
have subdued Mexico) to the conquest of Canada."
kraesentination of the paragraphs in question, will
satisfy the impartial reader, that we did not miprep.
resent the Gazette, in the most minute particular.
The editor, in his zeal to find fault with the National
administration. has gone a step too far, and now his
rage knows no bounds, judging from the tone of his
reply, because we placed upon his article, the only
*construction, which can be fair.y given it.
We can assure the editor that wo do love oar coun
try, though we have never claimed more of that pro.
per feeling that we have at all times cheerfully ac
corded to others, but when such views as ire expres
sed in the above paragraphs, are written and pub
lished by us, we shall Certainly expect to have the sin
cerity of our devotion called in quest i'm.
The Gazette, unintentionally, no doubt, has confer
red a favor upon us. We thank him fin- directing
special azteatien to the closing paragraph of our arti
cle, end to convince him that we ate perfectly sincere,
we again give it a place, and unite with our neighbor
in calling the attention of the public to it:
"Let Great Britain dons she may, the American Gov
ernment will retain Texas and Oregon. Conscious of
a just claim—satisfied that Great Britain is without a
shadow, of right, the position taken by the President
will be adhered to with unshaken firmness, even though
Mande herself, with our neighbor, as rear admiral,
should take command of the Spithead squadron."
Now that we have given the above paragraph suffi-1
cunt notoriety, will the Gazette, be good enough to say
whether it finds fault with the opinion expressed
above, i. e. that "Let Gloat Britain do a: she may,
tie American Government will retain Terris and
°reran?" If the Gazette is not with the British on
the Texas and Oregon questions, then will it unite with
its, and cordially sustain the Government in all its el
f:nth, to "retain Texas and Oregon." Our neighbor
most sea that there is but two parties to the dispute.
The one is the United States—the other Great Bd.
tabs. If the Gazette is really with the country.
and desirous of "retaining Texas and Oregon,"
which is undoubtedly the American side of the
qwtation, then we can only my that the views and
feelings of the editor are much misunderstood. When
we see a direct avowal in the Gazette that he is in
'favor of "retaining Texas and - Oregon," it will give us
-great pleasure, so fat as we can, to correct this errone
ous impression.
We cannot but regard thetourse of the Gazette, on
the Texas and Oregon questions, as entirely inexpli
cable. The Gazette vehemently opposed the Annex
ation of Texas, mainly upon the ground that to annex
that country to the United States, would increase slave
pewee—that it would give Southern interests a corn
- mending influence in Congress.
Mow is it with •Oregon '7 Slavery cannot exist in

Nisi-Oregon. Why then, is lhe'Gszette, apparently so
anxious to make it appear, that our right to Oregon
is questionable? Oregon, must, when divided, and
brought into the Union, give to the states where slave
ry does not exit, a decided ascendency in Congress.
If then it was important, and the Gazette so consid.
ered it, to keep Texas out of the Union, with a view ,
Of weakening slave power, why is the editor cf that
paper so anxious to throw obstacles in the road of an
increase of representation and influence from free
status to be formed out of Oregon?

"Neither!" said the son.

firm reply, "and when I have been through all the sub

THE MOB SPIRIT—THE FIREMEN AND
COMMISSIONERS OF sour H WARK.
The Board of Commissioners of Southwark last
Thursday evening, in addition to takieg nwny the ap
propriation entirely from the Weccacoe Hose and
Franklin Engine companies, cut down the sum here
tofore allowed the other companies of the distri. t to
$2OO. The dissatisfaction growing out of this action
of the Board has arrayed the whole fire depot tment of
the district against the constituted authorities, end it
yet remains to be seen which are to rule, or whether a
' compromise is to be the result. The district since
Friday has been a saute of excitement, on Saturday
night and yesterday (Sunday,) extended Louie city and
other districts and yesterday rose to a height that at in
tet yids created alarm.
For the purpose of insulting the Commissioners
and annoying the citizens of the district the bell of the
Weccacue Hose - was rung all day on F: idly and until
after ten o'clock that night. The Weccacoe and
Franklin, between a hints a feud existed, burning the
hatch( t and making cammon cause, went in the even
ing while the bell of the former wail kept ringing, to
the houses of the President and other members of the
Board, whom they hissed, groaned and taunted; and
with the view of greater annoyance and insult to one
of the Commissioners, it was insisted that his house
was on fare, and an attempt was made to play upon it--
an apparatus being placed in front of the door and so
attachment taken out.
The other comp; us took no part in these proceed
ing*, but it was evident that they generally approved
of them, and that the rioters received their tacit en
couragement.
Yesterday morning about 8 o'clock, an old building
on Christian Street a harf,occupied by Wm F. & Cle
ment Hughes, as a hay-press, was discovered to be on
fire. end was soon, with its contents of some 80 or GO
tons of hay. a heap of smouldering ruins. How it
caught is not known, but the district companies refused
to play upon it, and by interference and threats endea
vored to prevent the companies from the City and upper
districts, of which a number repaired to the fire, from
going int.., 1.011 , 1 Ce. A few of these, however, opened
streams, and played on the Games under the protec
tion of the police and their own strength. An at
tempt was made by • number of ruffians to head off
I the companies coming into the distract, and a party of
them who hod stationed themselves along Second
street, between South and Plumb twice forcibly turned
I back the Delaware Engine. The Superitendent of
Police and his r 0..... aided by the well disposed citi
zens in the neighborhood, drove the rioters off; and
succeeded in nabbing one of them. At the tire, • sec
tion of the Hope Hose was cut.
The fire at the hay-scales which continued to burn
•nd smoke the whole day yesterday, collected crowds
at the site, and the many rumors that prevailed of the
state of affairs in Southwark, drew theusarwls of per
sons into the district from Philadelphia. The rioters
throughout the day and evening were collected on the
corners, whets, they remained in dogged silence, and
only dispersed at the ap:iroach of the putroles of po
llee.
The Sherif made recpthdtions on the Superinterni
ems of l'olire of the Northern Liberties, Spring Cntr
