itish press was arrogant and domineering. Both are wonderfully altered since that time. The Yankee is now as loud and insulting as he was formerly meek and submissive. The change has not taken by surprise any person who has been accustomed to study the policy of the British. That Government has always been famous for dealing out what it calls exemplary justice upon culprits whom it believes unable to help themselves. Let not such hope to escape the lash of British vengeance. Greece, or Brazil, or any of the little States on the Continent — such as Denmark, for instance,--cannot hope to escape upon any conceivable pretext whenever it may be so unfortunate as to incur the wrath of the British lion. It is only strength that secures impunity from that magnanimous animal. Even now the New York Herald is calling upon the British Queen to revoke her proclamation of neutrality — that is, we suppose, to take part with the Yankees in their war upon this country. We do not see why this s
ing to the report of the Secretary of Treasury, he favours the greatest economy as to expenditures, and recommends private individuals to be on their guard and ready to return to a gold standard. Of foreign affairs, he says "our relations with the Emperor of China are most friendly." "The unbroken harmony between the United States and the Emperor of Russia is about to receive additional support" from a telegraphic line to be established between them across Asia. Cordial relations exist with Brazil. He complains at length of Great Britain for "the formal accordance of belligerent rights to the insurgent States," of the materials of war furnished, and of the vessels sent out from British ports to prey upon the Union commerce. He regrets to say that the propositions for an arbitrament of the questions between the United States and Great Britain were declined by the latter, and an unsatisfactory proposition from Great Britain declined by the United States. He advises against an attempt
Report of the Secretary of the navy. This is a very voluminous report, giving the whole naval history of the war. The European squadron is commanded by Rear Admiral L. M. Goldsborough. The field of operation is the coast of Europe and the Mediterranean. The Brazil squadron is commanded by Acting Rear Admiral S. W. Gordon. This will cruise on the eastern coast of South America and the western coast of Brazil. The East India squadron is commanded by Acting Rear Admiral H. H. Bell. The Shenandoah will be one of this fleet. The Pacific squadron, commanded by Acting Rear Admiral George F. Pearson, cruises the whole western coast of North and South America and the islands of the Pacific. The Secretary dwells with great pride on the rapid increase of power in the navy, and the difficulties overcome in its growth. He speaks with scorn of the "three hundred and twenty-two officers who traitorously proved false to the flag which they had sworn to support and th
The temporary impulse which induced many Southern young men to think of emigrating to Brazil, Mexico, and other foreign countries, has, in great measure, subsided. It is impossible, even if there were great inducements, that a whole people should emigrate. If its prospects in the future are dark, then it is unmanly and ungenerous in those who have shared their prosperity to refuse to share their adversity. Then the sentiment of General Beauregard should be the universal sentiment: "I prefer to live here poor and forgotten than to be endowed with honor and riches in a foreign country." On the other hand, if there is a reasonable probability that we shall, in the end, weather the adverse storm, and be once more a happy and prosperous people, it is unwise to fly from transitory evils to others that we know not of. There is no place, after all, like home, and no home like our own sunny land. Home is where the heart is, where the dear ones are gathered together; and whether it
From Brazil. --Brazil news is to the 2d instant from Rio Janeiro, by the steamer North America, which arrived yesterday. There had been no further fighting, but the Brazilian army was suffering much from sickness. The scheme of emigration from our late rebel States was being pushed forward. The agents of the affair had selected a site for a town near Araguaia, in the Province of San Paulo, near the Rio Tete, an important affluent of the Parana.

There had been no further fighting, but the Brazilian army was suffering much from sickness. The scheme of emigration from our late rebel States was being pushed forward. The agents of the affair had selected a site for a town near Araguaia, in the Province of San Paulo, near the Rio Tete, an important affluent of the Parana. We judge this location to be about four hundred miles west of Rio Janeiro. A tract of eight million acres of unoccupied public land had been selected, and the rush of Confederates was expected to begin forthwith. The location seems to be just under the tropic of Capricorn, corresponding to the latitude of Cuba. The birthday of the Emperor was fitly celebrated on the day the steamer left, on which occasion the Emperor released a number of prisoners. The Brazilian fleet was still at Corrientes, on the Parana.
