The following sesere remarks in relation te shs English critics, are fromihc American MaiI 4 New York, new paper, by Park Remiauin:

 ss'The successes Uf our arms in Mexico seem tp have given several editorial gentle men great uneasinese. They lase iol failed to prove, bY reasons quite satisfactory to themselves, that the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de Ia Palma were very common place achievements, and that nothing extraordinary was done at Buena Vista and Cerrc Gordo. They first predicted that we should be foiled al Vera Cruz. and now find fault with the modns operaHdi. by which we so rapidly Enc- eceded. Mr. Douglass Jerrold is one of the editors of Punch; he gave to the world Mrs. Cautie's Curtain Lectures aad Mrs. Bibb's Baby, and nobody can deny that he Is an ex- ceedingly funny fellow. As satirisi, he Is rather butter than witty; as novelist. rather pert Ihanforeible; as an humovist, lie is some times vastly amusing and sometimes he rushes into exaggerated nonsense and scFambling cariealnrr. But he writes falsely at times, partly fiom ignorance, partly from malice she latter seeming 10 constitute DO small ir- gredient of his disposition. Any attempt ta refute such an article as A Coward's Blow at Vera Cruz, would be too absurd we cite it simply for ihe amusement of the req der-neyer supposing thai it will prevent bim from keeping cool ia hot weather.

 When Mr. Dosgiass Jerrold sIet himself oar in this remarkable manner, he must have mistaken his paper and faneied he was wri. ting for Punch. To that sagacious journal he had better restrict his eloquent invec,ive or rather itRposeni seoldlng. He has been SC long in the habit Of lying for fun that he fall. into is when he means to be serious. Gross Perversions are substituted for facts, and the vapors of an oyerwrough, brain for subslan- tai realitiesn
