lfthe English Government does not interfere the Americans will rob

Mexico of California. In an article :on annexation, the Editor of the

Washington official organ thus Z speaks:—

\‘v'c infinitely prefer the friendly settling of the great question row pending. It will secure the peace and welfare of the Mexican nation.- lt can now be done and should now _ be accomplished. For who can or , rest the torrent that will pour onward to the \Vest? The road to Califor- nia will be open to us. Who will stay the march of our western poo- ' pie? Oar northern brethren are al- so looking towards that inviting region with much morn interest than those oftht: south. They, too, will raisc ' the cry “\Vcstward, ho!” llowcvnr strouJy many of thetmmuy trm'.‘ oppose annexation, yet let Calilbrnia be thrown Open to their ambition, and the torrent even oftlicir' popula- tion will roll on wcstwardl' to the Pacific.

Now we learn from a Captain of this port, a man of high character and veracity, who has traded seven or eight ycars to the African coast, that the [mic- tice ofscurcb by the British armed vessels has never interfered with his rights or his interests. llc has been frcqncntly boarded, and uniformly treated with courtesy. lle furthct' states that he has seen but one Unit- crl States National vessel on the Af- rican coast; and that the regular A- merican trade owes its continuance to the presence oftlre British cruis- ers. Thesc facts attested by a re- spectable witness, deserve considera- tion.
