[Krom the Vera Cruz Locomotar, July 28 ] The Text* question, which hat beau converted into an Anglo-American question, owing, if not to onr want of foiesight, at least to our indolence and inexperience, may also l>e convorted, and perhaps very soon, into a European question ; and lor this reason wear* inI duced to set forth some rontidanrtfcMM which may assist public opinion in correcting itself, and in coming to the conclusion most advantageous to tha nation. We bt-lieve that in Europe the Anglo-American ques1 lion is viewed differently by the people and by the government*. i The jHjople of Europe, no longer finding the territoj ries of their countries sutlicient to yield them what is essential to the comforts, or even noccsurie* of life, and ! finding the demand for their mnnud labor more aud ' more diminished by cach successive improvement in ma! ohinery resulUng from economy in expenses, are met every year by un excess of idle population, who, eager for employment, come to the New World in search of I what tliey can no longer find in the Old- Tins adventurers who compote this surplus population, And in the porta of their respective nations a multitude of merchant vessel* ready to sail for the United.State*? thanks to the oara with which that nation has protected it* foreign ooramerce. by freeing it from the obstruction*, rules and exactions which paralyze it in the Hpauiah American republics, and as these vessel* aro generally of large burden, as is requisito for the transportation of the cottoa which tho United State* send to Europe, a passage is of | lereu in mam at vim y monortie price*, una tney are pre | l'orrail, because the emigrants aro poor, and seek cheap| ne a in all that they need These ad vent u rert are aware, I moreover, that ou arriving with their fumilieeia the United State*, they are at liberty to live a* they pleaae, without meeting with restriction* of any kind, and that they may publicly practice their mode ot religioua nor hip, and even become citizens of the new Mtion, if they believo it advantageous to their interacts, by ainply desiring it. Their coming, then, increases the strength of the United States, and once established in that nation, they seek lands to cultivate, and will take the direction of Mexico, if they hear that this country Abounds in milk and honey, and if thoy believe that they oan easily introduce themselves into it under the proteedon of the government of the United States, for that of Mexico has redoubled the restrictions and trammels which impede their entrance. This new population identify their lot and existence with the lot and existence of their new country, for their personal interest and that of those in it This will happen more frequently now that Mexioo is invaded by the United States, and is in open war with their government. Hence it follows that Mexico will have to contend not only with the native Anglo-American population, but with adopted citizens, or what is the same thing, with a part of the population of Europe ; and a proof of this has been furnished us in the sort ol people who compose General Taylor's army, the greater part of thorn being Europeans ! ! We believe that, generally speaking, the sympathies of the people of Europe are not in our tavor, but in favor of the United States, even although they are aware oi the injustice of the latter in usurping our territory, for there are times when public opinion cares little about the means bv whirh a thine is dona, or a nrnlar.t ftw.iiiti) and look* only at thejreiults which spring from it. Mexico not only lack* the sympathies of Europe, but ii almost hated ; and thi* results from various causes and circumstances in which we ourselves have had no imall iharc : and however grievous the confession may be to ui, it li necessary to make it. Almost all the publications of the European press indicate the ill-will which exists towards us, and the works written by travellers who have visited us, with very few exceptions have contributed to increase this tendency against us. And if it be certain that no people hate another w ithoat a sufficient cause or motive, It is necessary for us to inquire into the cause of this ill disposition, since it must exist. It cannot be found in a rivalry of power in war, commerce, or industry, becauso we have msver been in a position sufficiently tdvantageons to provoke the jealousy of other natious. We must, then, seek elsewhere for the cause. In our opinion it is the restrictive system which we have practised, since our independence, against foreign comment, against emigrants, and against the establishment of foreigners in our country. When the people of Europe perceive that we impose trammels ana restrictions on the entrance of foreigner*; that we do not permit them to acquire landed property ; that we do not wish to tolerate the exercise of their mode of worship: that we shut the door to their acquisition of the rights or citizenship; that we prohibit the introduction of their manufactures, lie. lie., it is impossible that they should take the slightest interest in our fate, for, after all, our national independence or the integrity of our territory, does not benefit them in any manner. And when they see that the United States adopt a policy entirely different, that they seek their interest iu combination with the interests of other nations, it is natural that al' their sympathies should be directed to that country, which has better comprehended the objects of fraternity among all the nations of the earth. Under these circumstances, they |>erhap* even desire that the United States should occudv Mexico, for thev consider that in that event, our lands will be open not only to the citizen* of tho United State*, but al?o to those of all other nation* ; that all the richei of our aoil will be explored, and humanity and civilization will thu* gain more than by the potieaaion of theie reiource* by the Mexican*. It i* nece**ary, therefor*, if we deaire that tho people of Europe should feel any (ympathy for u*. and take any interest in our (ate, that we should endeavor wholly to reform ourselves, for the fault ha* been great; and we can accomplish it only by completely changing our policy, and adopting another, more frank and liberal than heretofore. The government* of Europe will entertain aympathie* in favor of Mexico, for it doe* not com pert with their intereat* that the United State* ahould be aggrandized.? They know that the experiment which thai nation ha* made of a democratic federative republic ha* great attraction* for the people whom they govern, o> account of it* happy results : and that ifitihould extend through North America, it will pais to South America, and, in Cui'rse of time, even to the continent of Europe, and realize, perhaps. the idea of Chateaubriand, that a republic will be the future condition of the world ; that then tlirone* would totter under the impuUc* of democracy, and dynasties would be eitinguuhed ov the abolition of the principle of inheritance of power. Kings perceive, moreover, that tho form* of government and social organization of the United Stat<* are drawing away the population of Kuropo ; that the emigration from Europe increases evary day ; that the debility caused bv depopulation may reach a tearful point ; and that, in fine, the Anglo-American nation will clothe and deck herself with the spoil* of Europe, a* ha* heretofore been the ca*e. It i* natural, therefore, that the ivmpathie* of king* ihould be in favor ol any enemy of the United State*, whether Mexico or nny other Spanish American nation ; for, in fact, it i* no more than having xympsthie* in favor of their own interest, and of their own *eli-pre*ervation and existence in time* to come. Mexico ought piomptljr to avail herself of this disposition, and reserve herself to cultivate the sympathise of the people afterward* ; but it behoove* her to proceed with circumspection, and not leek assistance on onerou* condition*. Nevertheless, we do not calculate in any caie upon being protected by force of arm* ; for the commercial interest* of Europe with the United State* are of too much importance to be sacrificed by king* in a war, when they could hardly expect to be compensated by any conce**ion? from Mexico on the re-e*tabli*hment of peace ; and consequently we ought not to expect any thing more than the aid of diplomacy, which, however, Unauch : for although physical force does not make part of, moral force doe*, and that, in these enlighteued time*, ha* become powerful. We have seen, in the discissions in the French Chambers, the difference between the opinions of the governments and people of F.urope. (iuizot, a man ofthe government, and representing the sentiment* of the king, used emphatic and almoat threatening expresiion* agaiuat the propagandiim of the United Htstea with reipect to Mexico, and declared that the interest* of France required the preierration of the American equilibrium. Thier*, an opposition man, representing popular opinions, addre**ea word* ofnraiae aid sympathy to the Anglo American nation; declare* that the American equiubrium is impracticable, and that France ha* aa intereit in preserving the friendship of the United Htate*, and In her always increasing prosperity. The opinion* of ihe*e two *tate*men ihould not be coniiderrd simply aa the opinions of two individuals, nut as tne opinions or (wo great political functionaries, or, even mora, aa the opinion! ofthe kin* and the people. The /Mario dr (a Manna, of Havana, itataa that the iteamer* Monte? nma and Guadeloupe, which lately belonged to the Mexican government, had been purcliaied i by the commander in chief of the naval pott oi Havana I for tha Spanish servicc, and now form a part of that i navy. IFrom the New Orleans Picayune, Aug. aa ] Dy our correspondent* at Pensacola, we learn that th e team Irigate Misiiaaippi, Capt. Kltihugh, arrived at that port on Wednesday, the 10th inst. She left the squadron off Vera Crux on the 13th initant, and made the run to Peniacola in four daya and a half. By thi* arrival the nawa which we recently received from Vera Crux via Havana, ia fully confirmed. All the troop* in the Caatle, the city and the neighborhood of the city, have declared for Santa Anna. An Kngliah iteamer arrived at Vera Crux before the Miaaiaaippi left for Havana, but Santa Anna waa not on board. Wo are sorry to have to report another abortivo attempt on the part of our squadron against some small Mexican vcasela lying on the river Alvarado. Tha reports are a little discordant. One version of them is that the Mississippi and Princeton, with three of our small achoonor*, were deapatehed to Alvarado to attempt to cut out fiv< or aix small Mexican vessels in that port The schooners anchored quite eloaa to a email Mexican battery on the ahore, and a fire waa soon opened on both sides, the | steamers than lying rather out of shot range.

Houston, Texas, Aug. 8,1846. Agricultural Affairs?Cotton Crops?Badness oftht Season?Improbability oftht Continuance of War ?Mexican Matters?Prospects of Texas?Hcrrtsourccs?4*c., fyc. The limited correspondence you have this far down South, may slightly palliate the reception of a very common place specimen of a letter, noting crudely an item or two of interest. Texas, with the exception of the Rio Grande attraction, which, by the by, has been written about, lauded and celebrated in every possible shade and style of newspaper encomium,presents little worthy of attention just now. The time has arrived when, generally, the snowy staple is in a fit condition for picking.The season so lar,(from the day of planting,) has proved peculiarly unpropitious; a bleak, raw spring?rainy summer, and worse than all every appearance of continued rains during the picking season ; add to this the disastrous effects of the caterpillar, wliich, from accounts from the '1 rinity, Brassos and Colorado, have committed fearful ravages, and, at this present writing are still oontinuing their fell work, with the prospect now, not more than a third (if that) of the expected crop will be saved. Accounts from Mexico are anything but confirmatory of preparations being on foot to meet our army at Monterey or any other point, on u scale at all commensurate with the force Gen.Taylor hat under his command. That they will ever again muster iorce suincicnt to even raise a doubt ol the success of our arms, in any c.omi>g conflict, amounts to the highest degree of improbability. Monterey, if the desperate condition of the roads, from Matamoras to that point, will allow of our men ever getting there, will fall an easy prey, and doubtless without resistance. The proclamation of Gen. Tayl#r to the inhabitants of Mexico?its assurance hacked by the practice of the army, in respecting the property and persons of all who have not borne arms in the war, it is said, has had the happiest effect. When the whole affair blows over, the jieople of Mexico, ut Least those on this side of the mountains, will bear proof of the beneficial tendencies in their minds, of the principles of our government. The influences scattered among them will leave impressions of detestation for their own despotic rulers, and the highest admiration of a government, whose military officers have proved themselves powerful ana practical exponents of the principles upon which it is founded. It can hardly be doubted that the war on the Rio Grande will effect a political change in Mexico of a character not only beneficial, but strongly demanded and needed by the condition of a people who, of all the nations of the earth in our time, have been for twenty years past the butt and jest of the civilized world, and the slaves and tools of a systematic grinding tyrinny, that, for the accomplishment of its own time-serving and self-aggrandizing purposes, has CAtlUUCU I LIU CUIiKU^Ulllg IIJUUCIIUCO Ul HIUWIOU^C and restrained the liberty of the press?basing the continuance of abject submission, on the pnrt of the people, in a coercive ignorance and priestcraft superstition. Brought into a novel proximity with our country, it is to be hoped that there 's enough of intelligence in the masses, at least, to be favorably impressed with tho workings of republican principles free, and untrammelled; but by an enlightened public opinion, the dissemination of which principles will result in th? total discomfiture of men wnose idol ia ambition, and the public weal the last of their thoughts. A Chinese wall could not have been a more effectual barrier to communication with Mexico, than the desert that extends from the Gulf to her northern extremity, shutting us out from nil intercourse by land except with great inconvei.it nco. Many anticipate that with a cessation of hostilities and a renewal of amicable relations, and our boundary beim; the Kio Ixrande, the joint right to that river being secured, a freedom of intercourse will spring up, that will open a wide field for trade, making the Western section ol lexas exceedingly inviting to all those who arc ripe for adveriture{either of a novel, money making, or a money losing kind. Mexican trade, cheap lands, emigration, new towns, contemplated steam navigation, all will tend to five an impetus to events " out West," that doubUess will prove to many the importance of experience in wnat they undertake. Speaking of experience, the social relations of new countnes'present striking features of contrast to the general face of the same in old settled communities. In tho former none have, but come to retrieve fortunes; hence republican self styled aristocracy, wealth, is unknown. Pride and poverty, backed by talent, have not the struggle to attain the height of their aspirations?professional and social distinctions?that they have where the avenue leading to the goal ol their ambition is clogged with competitors. The lummum bonum of friendly associations can be quickly formed, although like everything of a mushroom growth, are of short duration. In communities of almost yesterday's formation, it cannot be expected that the discordant materials of which they arc composed will commingle and harmonize immediately. Individuals and families thrown <-ogether heterogeneously, require time to prove to each other who are the husk and who the kennel of the social nut; even then the associations are not of that character to warrant, on the part of some, a perfect intimacy ; hence our Southern towns present the community divided into small circles, too narrow to form, for want ol variety, very interesting coteries; at least a generation must grow up in a place before that degree of comparison, nbleness, that we all understand, is attainable. The more tender ties that bind persons together are wanting in a country iust settled; those endearing associations of childhood and youth, that are cherished in memory by every one, are needed to blend and unite in a commonality of feeling a population that congregate at one point from nearly all quarters of the globe. This State is now in its government, fairly under way. All the ol liters, great and small, are now in the exercise of their respective duties. The late republic, when transformed, transferred a neat little sum to her successor, enough to put her on her leirs. Ijomsliition. hovrnver. when KJ members ha*Ttaken tlieir per diem for four or five month?, absorbed nearly the amount. Fears are entertained that she will experience a back ebb in her finances this her first year The annual expenditure is estimated at #90,000, which her revenue list shows on'y some ?80,000 that can be collected, ,all by direct tax at that. The article of sugar?its cultivation here?is attracting a good deal of attention. Its production is rapidly increasing. In the opinion ol tnose who have examined .he su^ar region in Ix>ui?mnn, the lands in the Lower Hrassos, Carny, Bernard and Colorado, are superior, in many respects, to the best Louisiana sugar lands ; soil richer, and fuel more abundant. Facilities of transportation are not quite so convenient, but a few years I will remedy that. Farming, as a pursuit in Texas, Ciesses important advantages over any of the them Slates. Land is cheaper and more produo : the winters are short and mild, compartively, beginning in November and ending in March. Farma are easily opened. Independently of raising a bale of cotton to the acre, and 60 to 0U bushels of com to the aere,the auxiliary sources IERA 16. of gain to the farmer are enormous, while engaged in legitimate planting. His stock of cattle rove nt large and almost unheeded over widely extended prairies, ^wincu ui iucni?civcs wuuiu ue it mugliiiicent domain in some countries) increasing as regularly as they do when tended and fed at an expense the owner here knows nothing o!; herds , of sheep and droves of hogs fatten and increase at no expense and but tittle attention. The poultry \ yatd presents an enviable sight, of which good housewives are justly proud. The fecundity of domestic (owls in this climate is beyond calculation. The products of the diary are superabun- , dant, with far less than ordinary attention; J vegetables of all kinds, prow abundant- \ ly, and of an excellent quality; two or three years, and an orchard producing tigs, peaches, melons, plums and nectarine8, amply repay the attention and care bestowed upon it. The ele<ments of plenty abound in Texas?industry dovelopes them, and richly are tho-'e, who uee ordinary energy, repaid for the outlay of their Inbor.? Some privations arc experienced by those who come here unprovided, except with indomitable will and ready hands, (luring the first and perhaps the second year; but after that, if smiling plenty does not jneut the new coiner on every hand, then his time and labor have been grossly misapplied. But more of Texas. Affairs of La Plata. No. X. Buenos Aybes, May iaotb, 184<l. Sir?In my last I told you of ftivera's entrance into Montevideo. This was followed by the resignation of the so called ministry, who hud been managing the "Republic," under tlio guidance of the mediators since his exile. These resignations were accepted by Suarez, who signs himself President, ad inttrim, but is a mere puppet. The only man among them of distinction and cleverness, was Vasguez, the Miuister of Foreign Affairs, and the great negotiator with the mediators; he too resigned; friends of Rivera were substituted. Those of the retiring ministry, known to be opponents of Rivera, lied for safety ; Vasquez remained protected by the mediators. The first act of Rivera was to require that the "Argentine Legion," perhaps 100 in number, who had sought refuge in Montevideo, from the consequences of a revolt against Rosas, should retire. They are called here the "savage unitarians," but had fought for a long time on the side of Montevideo. This legion, with the retiring minister of war, and a number of Buenos Ayrean families, were sent in an English steamer to Corrientes, to aid the revolution there. This occurred before news of the reconciliation of Corrientes reached Montevideo. The poor fellows will not be received with the welcome they anticipated. Alter having accomplished this act ot ingratitude, he told the government, people and "mediators," that he needed, and must have immediately $200,000 to pay lus debts in ilio de Janeiro, on wiucn tie was paying an enormous interest, and tn enable him to carry on his operations against Oribe. This demand threw all parties into consternation. They told him of the difficulty of raising so large a sum ; remonstrated and chaffered, and finally the mediating ministers themselves agreed to raise $15,000 for him and to send him to Colonia, in an English vessel of war, with 400 black and 250 white soldiers to seek his for:une, and aid them in stopping the "effusion of human.blood." He embarked for Colonia on the 31st April, in H. H. M. frigate Resistance, with his 650soldiers, all well armed by English and French generosity. In consequence of the blockade, our intercourse with Colonia is very irregular; but we learn that after his arrival he made a sally from there and succeeded in capturing a number of cattle,?the English say 1000, and driving thein into the town ; this was a rich prize for the mediators and the besieged in Colonia and Montevideo. So soon as Oribe heard of the location of Rivera, he sent a sufficient fsrce to prevent another sully. Again the aid of an English vessel of war is given, and Rivera with his forces transported to Las Vacas, a village on the Uruguay, some distance above the moutb, and where Oribe had but a small force. The place was taken by surprise, and the inhabitants butchered. We heard the firing here on Sunday last and have.received this j account of the result from a whale-boat that ran the blockade, iuesaay nignt irom ^oionia. ui course I cannot give you particulars, but report says every bouse was burneu and every inhabitant put to the sword. The mediators will not fight on land themselves, because they are mediators, and because they take no side with either party; they only supply Rivera with money and munitions of war, take the place of his soldiers in guarding Montevideo, and carry him in their vessels to unguarded points on the coast, where he can disembark without being expected, and cut the throats of all he may chance to surprise. In this way they make a useful aeent of him in their great work of " humanity. Although, by this disposition of Rivera, they were relieved from his immediate and exorbitant demands for money. Still they found the war could not be carried on without funds. The public buildings, lands, revenues from customs, all had been sold, and the treasury was comnletelv emntv. What was to be done '! The mediating minister* again came forward. They subscribed $12,000 each per month for six months, towards paying the expenses of?the "mediation" ?of course. But this was entirely insufficient; win: ter was at hand?the troops must be clothed as as well as fed, to enable them to "mediate" in comfort. The loan jobbers, and other merchants, were called together at the office of the Engliwli Consul. The case M'as stated.to them plainly ; but they had advanced already all they could afford?the revenues they had bought, and could not consent to their being used by the government. The meeting broke up in a sort of row, without doing any thing. The wants of the government became more pressing, another meeting was called at the same place?a more urgent appeal made?the noble example of the ministers was cited, and, finally, they ware told, unless money was raised, the mediators must withdraw with all their forces. This Drought llio Doysup louie worn, Alley saw mm ill such an event, their bright visions would vanish?their ownership of Montevideo, and anticipated dominion over the Oriental Republic, would at once be taken from them. They subscribed $30,000 per month for six months, and thus oiled the wheels of "mediation" again more smoothly on. tpMessrs. Ouseley and Deifaudis, in all their dispatches, still claim, and their governments claim lor them, the character of mediators, pacificators and champions of the Independence of the Oriental Republic. Between whom are they mediating 1 Will they still have the effrontery to call the residue of the rump party in Montevideo, after the shipment to Corriente*, and the quasi expulsion of Rivera and his 600 "revolters, the Oriental Republic 1 Imagine if you cau, that it is the government.

Lafone It Co., tin; country lias been %o long shut up, that very little has been exported, and it is bare of all foreign gooils; peace is established, people are Hocking in, and you are receiving at the custom house 810, perhaps SfflO, for one of the sums advanced us in our difficulties. Well, say the loan jobbers, so long as you behave yourselves properly, we '11 be liberal. Where, then, would the laws be made 1 In the counting-houses of these nabobs ; and if, as is not improbable, the English government is at the bottom of the whole loaninK scheme, they would bo submitted to her Majesty's a^ent, perhaps Mr. Ouseley. After he approved, they would be sent to the legislature for passage, ana to the President lor approval. If either proved refractory, their pay would be stopped, and they turned into the street. This would be the Independent Oriental Republic the mediators are striving to establish. A Citizen or tkx United &tatks. Kky Wkst, Aug. 14,1846. The Movtmtnli of Santa Anna.

Our latest dates from Montreal are to the 25lh inst., anil from Toronto to the SRth. We extract such item? as may be interesting to our foreign readers. [From the Toronto Herald, Au*. 28 J We learn that tome aliarp-ihooting took place at the conference tielween (dew two Domes, ine unu ai i i?uo and the Agricultural Society, which wan held at the Rooms of the Board of Trade, in the afternoon of Thursday hut. The principal subject of discussion was the throwing open of the St. Lawrence to the vessels ol every nation. Mr. liamble went the full Ifura for repudiation, for which h? was taken to talk by the Vioe-Prwident, Mr. W. Woikman, who very properly denounced the unworthy idea. We are not able to give a report ol the proceedings. but we believe that the queation ?f throwing open tho St. Lawrence to all iiationa was favorably entertained. It will require a strong expression ef public opinion from this country, to gain the favorable attention of the home government to this subject. We And am allusion by Lord John Russell, in his speech In the British Parliament on the 17th of July, that doei not augur very well for the coniummation of the reaaonable pre ject of rendering the narigation of the 8t Lawrence free to all nations, tie said? " I propose to empower her Majesty to give her assent to any law or bill passe<! by the colonies, which would take away disoriminating duties on foreign produce. I do not propose that her majesty should give her assent to any alteration in the navigation laws which new exist." It is probable that Lord John intended this to refer to the Navigation Laws as a whole, which, of course, is a very difl'urent quostion from the repeal ofjp much of them as rolateN to the navigation ol the SI. Lawrence only and which the people of Canuda, under present cirrumstancen, ccitainiy have a right to expect The Ministry will, no doubt, be prepared to pay a proper respect to tho public opinion of Canada on this ouestion, on which there is an almost perfect unanimity. But it is necessary. in order to that Opinion having its due effect, that it should be made known to the home government. If Canada speak with ono voice, and if she only ask what in justice sne can claim, it will require a bold minister to rejcct her petition Wo confess that we do not expect uch rejection to proceod from the whig minialry.

Montreal, Aug 17, 1848. Jhe Departure from Niagara.?Navigation of the St. Lawrence Rapids?Arrival at Montreal? Description of the City?The Cathedral?Orphan Asylum?Races, Sfc. I led Niagara Falls 011 tho morning of the 14th instant, and found waiting us at Lewistown the splendid steamer Rochester. At about 4 P. M. we got under way with a fair complement of passengers ; we were au struct wnn aamirauon on approaching Fort Erie, where there opened to our view the beautiful Lake Ontario, whose surface at the moment was as smooth as a mirror, with here and there a dot on its bosom?a vessel under easy *ail. We touched at Rochester, Oswego, ?>eg Iinrbor, and arrived at Ogdensburg at 9 I'. M., the 15th. Here we left the Rochester, had a comfortable uight's rest, and at 9 A. M. 16th, embarked on board of the British steamer Express, which is hardly a third class boat with us Nothing can be more exciting, sublime, and grand, than the navigation of the St. Lawrence: its innumerable rapids,) beautiful Inlands, and bold shores keeps the traveller in one constant state of agreeable excitement, Uf these r&j.uu the largest and most dangerous is that of Cearos, about twenty-five miles above this place: here the St. Lawrencu spreads out to a great width, forming a number of beautiful Iilands ; between these Islands in many places, the rapidity of the cur* rent is so great as to render navigation impossible, oven for the best steamers. The Queen, one of the regular packets betweenfthis and Ogdensburg, broke tier rudder in passing through these rapids the other day. Owing to the presence of mind of the Captain, the engine was stopped, and the boat, side to the current, drifted through in safety, which, considering the number of eddies, whirlpools, and boiling-pots, must be considered almost a miraculous escape. I have been informed that the Canadians are about petitioning the Crown, if not already done, for the free navigation of the St. Lawrence. I have just had a conversation with a person of respectable standing hern, and he assured me in these very words, that if the navigation of the St. Lawrence be opened to all nations, all the produce of the great west will flow through it, and we shall have Montreal soon filled with enterprising Americans. How far the expectations of this friend may be realized, remains (or the fatal* to be seen; but, in my.humble opinion, the rapids present an insurmountable barrier to the succeffcful navigation of the St. Lawrence, and it will be as expensive to transport through the canals around these rapids, as it will be to conveyproduce from Lake Erie per canal to Albany. Thus I do think, that although the free navigation of the St. Lawrence may be ultimately obtained, it cannot materially effect New York. I have been informed that General Cameron is one of the leading men in favor of the free navigation. General Cameron is a British Canadian, ana here, as with ns in the United States, there are two parties.'' The French Canadian force is by far the strongest, but it is noted for indolence and oppo niiiuu IU PU auvaiiuvuiriiis, auu, U1UOOU, ll mij be doubted whether the French and English can be so united in this measure to pull on the same rope; nny disunion among them must cause a defeat of the whole project. Montreal is certainly a handsome town; there is a solidity in the construction of the houses here I have not seen in any of our cities except only on a few occasions, and as regards cleanliness, 1 can w.tli safety f recommcnd the (Jity Council of New York to make a visit to this plnce and take one lesson. The streets are kept remarkably clean, and at night the city is well lighted with gas: so much so, that one can read a newspaper in the principal streets. The streets are paved with wood blocks; they appear to stand here remarkably well. The Catholic cathedral of Notre Dame is a noble edifice; the Orphans'Asylum is certainly one of the neatest establishments of the kind to be met with. It is remarkably well kept by some sisters of charity. I omitted to state in the proper place that I touched nt Kingston, and that the Government is making at that place most extensive fortifications npon the most modern and improved plans. P. S. The races commence over the Montreal course to-morrow; they are likely to be well attended, and the sport good. Perianal Intelligence. Kx-Senntor Haywood ha* arrived al Raleigh, N. C. Hon.
