The Foreign News


We present our readers this morning with very


comprehensive and carefully prepared synopsis OF


the news brought from Europe by the "Great Wes


term" britfer resume Of which we issued yester-
day morning in an extra, the large sale OF which


demonstrated the anxiety with which the intel.
sence was looked for by all classes of this commu-


nifty. Although presenting no particularly startling
points OF interest, this intelligence is highly mpor


tant,and will command the utmost attention Of the


intelligent observer Of human affairs.


From the copious extracts which we have made
from the columns OF the leading journals of all par
ties in the British metropolis il will be perceived


that the policy and progress of this country oc cupy
more than ever the attention of the press, the poll


ticians. and the people of Great Britain. The
"George Washington" carried out TO England the
Inaugural Address Of Mr.. Polk in season for US to
receive in return by the" Great Western" the OK
preston of public opinion which it elected on the
other side OF the water. It will be that il has
been taken up and discussed with greater ampli
tude and'keenness than any previous Presidential
message. All intelligent readers cannot fail to be
struck by the altered tone and manner whchthe
extracts we have given indicate, in the discussion
by the London press Of Alleghanian affairs 1t has
heen, indeed, only of late that British journalism
has entered into any examination Of our position,
institutions, and policy as nation, that could be
dignihed:by thesname of discussion. Emptytirades
declamatory vituperation, and ilI.natured sarcasm
until very recently, characterized all the references
by the English press to this country But now it is
found necessary to enter into something like manly
controversy, and the war Of public opinion between
republicanism and monarchical government, has at
last fairly commenced Nothing could indicate
with greater significance than this, the potential
influence which. the example of this country now
exercises on the European mind. The little cloud
IN the west, no bigger than mans hand, begins to
cover the whole heavens.


There does,Ito be sure,' still largely minge with
the remarks OF the British press upon our national
affairs end policy. sarcasm and ridicule But it is
very easily discovered that under all this affecta
ZION of contempt, there is most satisfactory &C.
acknowledgement of the influence and power of Re.
publican ALeghania. Throughout all the discus
sion on the annexation question, the other side
OF the water, there is tacit confession that the
dread Of the rapidly augmenting growth of this
country in territory. resources, strength, unity, and
power. Is the controlling sentiment. The display
of indignant morality the part of Great Britain
when her press and public men assail us as thieves
and robbers for daring to annex Texas to the
Union, is, indeed, amusing When nation, which
in its whole march to empire, from the beginning
until this moment, has invariably acted on the
maxim that "might makes right"-that has again
and again ruthlessy trampled upon the most sacred
obligations of treaties-that has wrenched colony
after colony from the possession of the rightful
owners-gravely lectures us for receiving into the
confederacy free State, in accordance with its
own request, we are only presented with an illus
tration, large scale, of the detestabe hypocrisy
of the bloated usurer, who, after long life spent in
reaping the wages of iniquiy and in robbery of the
poor, POUNDS church, and dares to commit his &C.
cursed soul to heaven. England has not grown
less graspng and unjust, but she breads this repub
lie more.


Little had been said about Oregon in Parliament.
The engrossing subject appears to have been the
annexation of Texas. 1t will be seen, however,
that the London Chrowicie gravely alludes to the
possibility of our encroaching upon Canada at no
very distant day. And, pray. why not


GROWING INFLUENCE OF THE INDEPENDENT PRESS
OF THIS COUNTRY IN EURoPE.-We perceive in
looking over the files of English papers brought by
the "Great Western" that the London Times copies
column after column from the New York Herald.

position and prospects OF the new administration,

This discovers the growing influence Of the indie.

affairs Of this country with any degree Of minute.

the Herald the means Of ascertaining with truth
and accuracy the real condition Of the various
political parties-their movements-and the course

only to the serve purposes Of faction, do not in.

Of popular sentiment and when they do know
anything OF the movements of the administration,
their chief care is to conceal or distort what they
may have learned. Not so with such journal as
the Herald. One great object is to obtain every
possible item of intelligence, and to present it fully
and fairly before the public. Hence the power OF
such independent Journalism in this country-and
hence the fact Of its being regarded in Europe as
the reliable authority in all matters connected
