Touching the “ Relations” of England with the United States, the Morning Post says :—-

“Tho intelligence from the U. States can- tinues to wear a more pacific aspect. indeed, the more insight we obtain into the true state

of feeling in that quarter. the more we are con- vinced of the strong iind general desire enter-

tained by the Ainerican people for the innin-

tenance ofpeace with this country. The recent

exhibition of hostility we attribute solely to tho

resent governincnt, which. by stiiiiulating the passions of the democracy in the Western States, hopes to prolong its precarious tenure of pow- 'l.‘lnit such a state of things is fraught with certain amount of 01'“, it is impossible to fi-age is necessarily, to a great extent, under the control of the masses; but the iiilluciicc of the Senate in questions of fcreign policy must not be overlooked, nor can we forget that the

interests of America are decidedly opposed to war. There appears to be in that country, as

there is in this, a profound conviction that be- tween States so nearly allied in blood, and so

closely connected by commercial intercourse,

war should only be resorted to as at last and We have ubunihiiit pi oof tliui; the scniiiiu-iiis vceciitly cxprcssi‘d by the (':ibinct of \\'.isliiii_-;ton with reference to the

conduct of this country are not sliarctl by the

more intelligent :ind independent portion of the -i

Aincricaii people.’

Southey, in his History ofthc Peninsular VVar, relates the folloiviiig:

Two of the Spanish i'c;_v,init-.iits which had been quartered in Fureu, were mounted on long-iuiled Ailtlillllslllii liorses. It was ini- _.roi-ticzible iv ln~Tii_v_: ofi' tlii-se horses, about‘ eleven liun(ll‘t‘(l in iiuinlier, rind Romano was not a man who could order them to be ilestroyt-il; he was fond of horses himself, and knew that every man was attached to the beast which hiid carried him so far and so faithfully. Their bi-idles were therefore taken ofl‘, and they were turned loose upon the beach.

A scene ensued such as probably never before was witnessed. They were sensible that they were no longer under the res- traint of human power. A general conflict ensued, in which, retaining the discipline they had learned, they charged each other in squadrons often of twelve together, then closely ciigngi,-d, striking with their. fore feet, anti biiin;_r and tearing each other with the most ferocious rage, and trampling over those who were beaten down, till the shore in course ot' mi hour was strewn with the dead and disabled. A portion had been set free on rising ground tit a distance; the no sooner heard the roar of battle than they came thundering down over the inter- mediate hedge, and catching the contagious iiimliiess, plunged into the fight with equal fury. Sulilime as the scene was, it was too horrible to be long contemplated, and Ro- mano, in mercy, gave orders to destroy them; but it was too dangerous to attempt this, and after the last boat ,liad,qiiitted the beach, the few horses that were left wen still .engii'ged in the dreadful work of mine‘ at deshnction. - 4 I '
