Wlhst nations will Assist us in the stru lo? .'l'he Emperor .,Napcleo,n_ oace rema ed: ‘.‘-Two powers, like France and England. .with a good understanding between them. might overn the world." So they might',‘lli/t8l when the great Napoleon thus spoke, but not in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and filly-three. Within the last forty-one cars a wonderfli'_l_' change has ‘taken place in the destinies of the human race, more especiagy with that portion known as the Anglo- axon quota of it. In t8I2'that vast confedei-atioii‘_‘of States, now knoivn as the American Union. were but a ‘ feeble community stru ling in war with the parent nation. In I85; the American Re- public, in population, tonnage, steam-power, and railway intercourse, nearly approxi- mates to that of the British Islands. ’

Such bein the case the aphorism of Na- poleon wonl not now hold good. If the quotation had read, “Three powers. like France, England, and America, might govern the world,” there ‘would be no question but that such would be} the result Ufa combination of the maritime resources ‘of those nationii If a war broke out, we will venture a prediction, is an American would express himself, " on ditr own book.” It is probable, for a time the United States will be a neutral power. Durin this neutrality Russia will issue, as has been before mooted in the public press, letters of marque to the privateers of any nation willing to accept the same, and sail under Russian colours.

What will the Americans do under such tempting circumstances? How will that nation act? Refuse with indignation the lurin offer of Ittackin the commerce of “ Id England,” as the intelligent of the Republic affectionately apes of our coun- try, or willingly try‘ thcirthsnd in the priva- tecring line

The respectable American journals are highly indignant at such a suggestion, as eppoat-s from the following very creditable article taken from the New Yank Journal if

aismcrcc:--

_ True. it has been said by the London Timur. thpt in such an event our oce.-in would swarm with Yenkee privstsers under Russian letters of marque The fliiiu does us injustice. and forgets what was our

Our Goverriuiont will give no countenance to acourse of prsceiiding, which, under sirriilar cbcsmstsncbs. ‘it emneti’; atid'thdAmeri. can who should thus ast.vvsuhi jsstby forfeit all state- to the protection of his country. and receive and

ridily mm the lbto on pirate.

The abbvc is all very well. says the Times, if emanating from tttistiou capable of restraining the bad passions o_f,her citi- zens. But what credence should we place in such assertions, when itvvas only two years ago the American nation had,not the power to prevent the open. or euiztttion of an armed body, recruited for t e, ostensible and avowed pur ose of a piraticalcxpedition upon Cuba. T e same fate ofa “ pirate” stared the fillibusters in the faip ypt. that ‘did’ not prevent the dillicult.sii . aisrdous venture. The Americans fitted out an expe- dition undor Lopez, with the certain know- lod e of a powerful armed resistance from I. disciplined bodyuoftroopslthe ip_9_(pent,_t);ey landed.‘ 'This,liowever. did not deter them. Similar impulses woul act in even I stronger iiation, in the fitting out of privsteers to watch the course of unarmed, peacable traders on the ocean, ready topounce upon their prey. There are plenty of havens on the American coast to shelter their buc- canesrs! Nolack of friends and sympath- isers to cheer them on. In fact, all new countries must have a preponderance of an unsettled population, ripe for plunder-iug expeditions. The intelligent American as much laments the knowledge of this, as an Englishman can.

' the fear ofa pirato’s fats prevent Van Rausallier and his “ patriot" army landing on Navy Island and invading Canada? lWas not the American steamer Caroline genly chartered to carry succours from the

-nited States territory to the invading hordes? Did not the town of Schlosser «deliver up the contents of the erincury to equip the pirate band? With these‘ remi- iscences vividly brought to our mind, it is not to hewondsrsd that people, in,Engluitl fear that. if s vsr broke Qlllv. svilndispossd AIseric$.weeld.avail tbstusslvell Ifllssv

, ._..

The Glasgow Herald. of Saturday. gives a long account of the shipwreck of the Annie Jane. the Illosi interesting portions of which we 'sub§oiri :-

lt up is that by rest elhrts the vessel was get clear it a roof of rocks which jutted seaward. upon which the waves were breaking furiously. and when it was evident to all. that had the ship struck. not a soul would have survived to tell the tale. Having rounded the reef, the ship got opposite or into Valer- nish Bay. a large indentation with a sa y c - and. according he account of one class of the sur- vivors. she was t e run ashore to escape the roefof rocks which formed the opposite entrance to the bi:_y ; and, according to the opinion of others. she was or._ oed is by the fury of the gals. Certain it is that, within twent minutes after clearing the reef, and between two vs and one o'clock on the morning of the 29th ult., the ship took the ground with a fearful concussion. Al the cfieers and crew were. of course on deck at this fearful conjunciure: but there were also on deck a large number of male passen- gers, who held on by the ropes and rtuinfi. Ind with feelings of despair contemplated their fate. as indicated by the dull outline of the d and the rolling ufthc surf on the beach. Meanwhile the great majority of the passengers. including till the women and children. were below in their berths, but the striking of the ship gave them a fearful wakening. Many rushed on deck in a state of nakedness; wives clung to their husbands, and children clung to both; some route from terror. and others uttering appalling screams. and eagerly shrieking. " Is there hope?" it ‘ct, the scene is described by the survivors as the most. aconiaiiig which it could enter into the heart of man to con ceive. The poor creatures had not long to wait for the catastrophe. After the first shock was over the passengers rushed to the boats. three of which were placed between the ruizeninast and the poop, and the fourth lay on the top of the cooking- houso forward. The lifeboat had already been lost; but, as happens too commonly in such me- lancholy cases. the boats were of no earthly use. for they were all fixed down and secured. or lay bottom up. Indeed, it is extromely_quest_ionable if there was any chance of the boats living in such a storm, even had the means of launching been at hand; and the belief is, thst_tlie passengers had rushed to them from the insitiictivchope ofob- tainiug relief thereby, or of preventing the crew melting use of them for their own special preser- vation. While the passengers were thus clu_s_esred

and the boats, and wit in a very few niiniites after the ship had gronnded. she was struck by a sea of frightful potency. which instantly. carried away the dense mass of human beinira into the watery waste. and boats and hulwsrlta went along with them. It is the opinion of our informants that at least I00 of our fellow-creatures perished by this fell swoop. The wilil wail of the suflr-_rers was heard for a moment. and then all was still- at least. as far as this unhappy group was con-

-1 G

rned.

Tu crest majorit ofihc women and children. as well as aoine oft e male passengers. remained below. either pstalvsed by terror or afraid that they would be washed IWA, in the event--l their coming |l||0|l deck. But ll|*‘|f time also had come. The frightful thumping of the great ship, taken in coit- nexion with her cargo of railway iron. must have immediately beaten the htiltnrli out of her; and while her fabric was in this weiilteiieil and disrup- Ieil state, soother tit-cadfnl sea broke on board and llleffllly crushrtl that part of the deck situated between the rnsinmast and the mizenmcst._d'IWn upon the berths below. which were occupied by terror-stricken women and sleeping children. They were killed rather than drowned. as was wssfully evinced by the naked, mutilated. and cashed bodies which were afterwards cast on shore. The main sr.d mizenmssis went at the same moment. This second branch of the catas- trophe took place within a very few minutes after the passengers and part of the crew had been swept away from the deck along with the boats. The most of the remaining sesinrn_IMl P3|_3"‘lI°"' now took refuge on the poop. Wlllch ‘"33 '9"! high one, and each succeeding assault of the sea carried away its victim or victims. In short. within one hour after the Annie Jane struck the rerueiiiiiig MIll~pI of her innate went by the board, and she broke into three pieces. An additional number perished at this disruption: and all the survivors remained on the poop. with the exception

of seven men, who had secured themse es on t topgalllnt torecssite. 'I‘iis poop forum-Iely flout- sd well. and as it was about high wstal‘. the wreck was drifted inwards by the Wind Ind elfh bears of the see, when it finally grounded about 4 o'clock a. in. The forccssile. with the seven men. came ashore. much about the seine time. Thy wrgs-k bud bgon observed from‘ the llliind pl» most as soon as the day broke; in tho first in- stancs. seven or eight of the Barn race (all who were is the neighbourhood at the time) came down to render such aid as might be in lllfll‘ power. The remains of the missniuasi were still attached by the shrouds to the w of the poop, and by the help of the islanders it was placed so us to form a sort of bridge or ladder between the poop and the shallow water; and. II "'0 ‘'40 l'|d_"°‘' tully ehhed, all the survivors got on shore wilmut much difllculty by seven in the morning. When mustered the survivors were found to number a total of I09. of whom one was a child, I! were women. and 98 belonged to the crew, exclusive of the captain, who was also saved. _ u the poop was drifting ssbnre be secured himself upon its skylight. But the departed fnsods of the sur- vivors were ashore before them, for the beach was literally lined by their dead bodies. as well as by innumerable fragments of the broken ship, and the light part of her esrgn. None of the sur- vivors estimated the loss of life at less than 350. and others consider it close u it 400 souls. The latter would be the case if individuals inclu- ding children, were on board, as is generally be- lieved. Almost all the cabin passengers pqI’lIll_Bd. including Captain Munro of Quebec. and his wife.
