Tlio following nniolo appears in the Lon.
don Shipping and Mercuntilo Gazette :
To tlio F.tlitorof tliu Shipping and Mercnn
lilo Gazelle :
i Sir : I have now mndo the tour of the
Slates of North America, and think it prob
ublo I can give your readers some useful
information. I landed nt New York city
teu months ago, and havo spout my lime
in studying the diameter and customs of
those people, and must confess thut if I re
mained ten years tliu result would ho the
eainc; and 1 know very little ubuut them.

try,.is perfectly absurd to them. Every
.body 'rends the papers, and n good-humored
urchin of twelve years used to rate me
soundly nt Philadelphia lor our failures at
Scljuiipo. The best version f Ameri
can sympathy was civ. n me few days
idnce. 'Wli.'ii iliu war commenced ih
Turks were the weaker power, and our
sympathies were uilh her. After the id
liance, it was three against ono, an I our
sympathies went for llussiu ; but, should
Trance join Russia to morrow against Eng-
land, our government could not prevent iis
citizens from not only -.'ympathizrug with
England, hut assisting h"r with uiHliri.il
uid.' This I heard from a very intelligent
man, who 1 do not think suspected my na
tionality ; and I firmly believe it. In the
South I spent some time upon the planta
tions, nnd many times held long converse
tions with tliu slaves, und always with the
same result. Thcv aro much better satis-
lied than 1 suspected, and when 1 spoko f
the probability of sr,I was answered,
thai "whito folks wouldn't let tiia fi'ln."
'Hut,' said I, "the blacks from the West
Indies will cme here and help you tonm

This is not difficult to come at, as the feeling
is general, and their confidence so great iu
lheir own strength that the most diffident
only speak of the cousequences and the re
suit. In company with a party of mer
chants, most of whom were engaged in the
trade with England, I broached the war
...KwH.inil was astonished to find them to

li.h merchantman will nut oo uttoweu to

about 4,000 totif, built in chJil mouths, and
it i jut as easy to build &U in the same
time or lo." "Hut your coasts aro not

Wo have a fov very pretty loris, but shot'l l
any nation nttempt an invasion, we will
meet them with hands and hearts equal lo
any, superior to most ; and we can con
centrate 800,000 men at any point on our
coast in a few days. Let the alarm be
sounded at this moment, and in a few hours
nearly 80,000 men will makothoir appear
ance nrmed and equipped."
This sounds lik ! bragging, but it i fact.
This city (New York) has near that num
ber enrolled nnd equipped; every man
keeps his rifle nt home or in the private
armory of the company to which he belongs,
and I find it is tlio samo throughout the
country. I have frequently met with boys
of 13 nnd 14, with gun and game-bag,
starting at early dawn for the woods, for
here they can shoot game wherever found.
War is argurd against by everybody as
something to be avoided, but the idea of
backing out to avoid it does not appear toen
ter the mind of any body. Some of the papers
fpeak of the President's message disparag
ingly, but the people are with him. I re
gret I cannot defend my country at this
t'uno as 1 would wish. The Bulwer Clay
ton treaty is plain nnd explicit, and there
don't nnd won't understand double mean-
ings in treaties. They say the man with
the white hat does not refer to the individu
al in tho whito cap, und my Lord John Rus-
s II acknowledge ihe American interpre
tation. There are thousands of men hero
that the Americans would he glad to get
clear of, but that does not justify England
in blinking their laws by enlisting them ;
and my Lord ru'inerslon's instructions
ivnroiiiethiii''like tullinira man to stab
his neighbor but not hurt him.
If the iren'y (Clayioti-Buhver) is adher
ed to, wo have the Stat pledged never to
occupy it, (Central America,) for, say what
we will, they will stick to the trra'y and it
wilbnot be annexed ; abrogate it, and in
-ss than ten years it will be one of the
State s of tho 1'n ion. The Canadians are
n very h.yal set, and think they could take
nosscss'on of the Uui'id States at a mo
ment's warning. Tiny have caught the
hubit of bragging from their neighbors
without having the wherewith to brag on.
A I rip up the lakes is the must convincing
proof wo can have of the ilillereiife in the
two pmple. In the American are well fin-
J,iil cities and towns, sawmills, riiilwwls
tunning in every direction u. o.ei, ,vu
seldom lose ti;:ht of tho locomotive nnd
there are innumerable teamris nt every
itidilK'. On the Cann-lian, where tliere
nre settlements, yon see the well-kept, com-
fortnblu dwellings, the smooth snenrcd lawn,
and everything wears an air of comfort ;
but liille or no business, with the exception
of the great railroad. However, they arc
rapidly improving ; but should there be
war, the largest nnd best portions ot i, ana
da are lost to us. Quebec, Halifax, and
...Iw.r iwiints wmild bother them. But to
" i
sum up my own observations after every
opportunity that one man could have ul
forded him. the result wouM benslollows.
Mexico, Culia, nnd the whole of Central
America iu the. South, including Cuba,
wmildbe annexed ; and I have little doubt
of Canada, in tliu .North ; millions ot trea
sure and thousands of valuable lives lost to
En"!and forever ; our commerce crippled
in tvery sen, and some fighting that will
irliiddeti tho heat ls of our tried soldiery.
Now, what can we gain ? A fool of ter
ritory t We don't wnnt it ; nnd if wo did,
six feet for the majority of our brave fellows,
I feu, , wuuld be the extent. Naval or mili
tary glory we don't want, nnd as for the
sand beach of tho Mosquito king it is a de
cided humbug. What would be the result
to this country ? It would put her back in
nrospcrity for half a century; it would
i . - .
ruin thousands who are now in Biuuei.ee,.
but would en rich thousands who are now
poor. But the great advantage the Ameri
cans have is that they can produce and
manufacture everything tbey want ; the
different climates nfford this. They would
get accustomed to their oWI. goods and dis
card ours forever. But the greatest injury
io all parties, and I may say to the world,
would be the making of this nation of 2-V
000,000 a warlike people ; and once in
stiled with the love of war, the propagand
ists of Europe would have a fearful ally. The
last rear's crop of wheat is officially given
at 170,0110,000 of bushels, and everything
else in proportion, so that we cannot starve
ihera out ; and, f.om my own observation,
would rather see England contending with
the whole of Europe than against this
country. I am no croaker, nor have I any
dcubt of the power and wealth of my be
I loved country, and, if need be, coull agin
'v-cj:e s a:T.krt f'rter l?n l'T
but ihu day that wuris declared between
those two niigh'y rivals a contest will bo
commenced that will bring more honors in
it tfiiti than the world ever vet wilnewed.
There is another item which I am liko to
forget. Many of my county men place great
dependence on tho abolitionists, or friends
of freedom, in this country ; but I assure
you their greatest protection hero is their
iusiyiiilicuiico. They flourish as long as
thought harmless, but the slightest suspi
cion of their collusion with a foreign fo
and they would bo annihilated ; in facl '
have proved to my entire satisfaction that
those terrible and exciting questions uro
only intended for poliiical effects; but at
tach any importance to thr-m affecting Jie
interests of tho country, and they nre gone.
You would, uo doubt, be astonished to hear
that many children of foreigners, and, in
fact, foreigners themselves, aro know-nolh-iiv.!s,Htnrted
lo proscribe them ; but such is
the fact. I have extended my remarks
further than I intended, but they have one
desirable feature that is, truth. Should
they prove acceptable, I may again intrude
on you. I remain, yours,

From New Mexico. Col. Savery, Mr,
Bransfotd, Mr. Rccs, and several other
"entlemen, have recently arrived in our
ci'iy from New Mexico. They represent
tho Indians as quiet, and a better prospect
for a permanent peace among tho hostile
tribes, who have heretofore been a terror
upon the plains, than ever before. Indeed,
tho Indians may ho said to bo suing for
ncace and foi'eivoness. ihe Santa re
mail, duo the hitter part of this month, wil'
not, it is supposed, arrive, as the new con
tractors for its transportation, it is alleged,
have not the means or necessary appliances
to put it through. The outward bound
mail for Santa Fe, which started on the
first of this month, only proceeded a few
miles from West port and then camo back
on account, it is said, ef the depth of the
miimw. nnd lies there at present. Thero is
no news of any particular interest in iSew
Mexico. The winter has been the hardest
ona ever experienced there, und the stock
upon thepluins have suffered quite severely
The Arkansas river is reported to bo frozen
to tho bottom. A number of merchants
from New Mexico are already in our city,
utid others are expected, lo lay in their
stock of goods fur tho season, lnu put
cliases this year will be very heavy. Si.

From an elaborate article in Putnam's
Magazine for Murch wo gn'hcr some inter
esting facts relatiie to our sea-coast de
fense. Beginning iu tho Eastern part of
tho United States, iho writer of the article
alluded to gives us tliu designation and lo
cation of each fortification upon tho coast
around to the Mississippi, together with
our Lake defenses on our Northern boun
dary. In addition to this, we have nn ac
count of tho number of men necessary to
garrison each fort, the total amount of
money already expended upon them, and
the amount necessary to complete each of
the forts enumerated.
We think tho writer has omitted one fort
on our extreme Eastern border,' ut East-
port, Maine. A high natural eminence
overlooks tho town, upon the summit of
which aro barracks and some 20 guns ol
largo calibre, though not enough by any
means to defend the town from nn attack
of heavy war ships. The first fort enu
merated in tho article in Putnam is fori

about 25 miles from iho inou'h of (he Ve
