Ve received yesterday files of papers from New I orlc, Washington, andl Philadelphia, from which we subjoin extracts. The latest dlate from New York is the 16th ult. An article fronm the Newv York National Advocate, on the policy of the English Cabinet. with regard to thie new American Slates, is more worthy of attentioni than articles of discussion in these journals usually are, ande the interest created here by the question will jastify our giving it entire. We have examined our files carefuilly for fur.her intelli- gence from Peru, but do niot find any of more recenit date than has already been conunnicated by wvay of Jamaica. Enivoys from the new Republic of Guatimala had arrived in the Unitet States. 'Phe extracts ftollow:- '" NEW YOIIK, JUNR 9. The policy of Great Britain in relation to South Amcrican in- dependence generally, whlile it must tend to place beyond doubt the permanent independence of that vast portion of the globe, must even- tually result in securing great influence and advantage to the British nati9n. We question whether the British have at any period of their history attained a greater heiglht of prosperity than they at present possess. A series of wars for many years, and e. practice of subsi- dizing the whole European continent, have crippled themi with a heavy national debt; yet the fin2nces of the country are in a state of improvement, and some of the restrictive measures have been lighten- ed. The great point, however, has been attained-they possess what they have been fighting for. They are at peace, and having no appre- hension of rebellion at home, are nov prepared to push their influ- ence in every quarter of the globe, and at present have a steady eye fixed on the republics of South America. The policy of Mr. Can- nin v ;.7 -1- .o r- a -- -- -....7_:.7_ the foreign policy of a nation than peace and security at home. After the ill-concerted and ill-advised war in Spain, France undoubtedly contemplated affording aid to Spain in the recovery of certain Spanish American provinces, and bad already calculated the advantages which would result from a successful effort. Here the influence of Great Britain was immediately exerted to prevent such combined plans, and France was compelled to put up her navy, which already, in a short blockade of Spanish ports, had grown to an unpleasant magnitude. This blow warded off, and a positive recognition of the South American independence postponed, tie Cabinet of St. James has placed beyon(l doubts its intentions and views towards the now governments. Loans of all kinds have been encouraged; companies have beeni formed to work the mines in Mlexico; consular agents have been appointed; and a bustle and activity manifested which clearly indicate the influence which it is contemplated to attain in those valuable sections of country. " Although, from contiguity of situation and similarity of go- veniment, the United States may be considered as the natural ally of South America, yet the zeal and activity of the British, possess- ing greater resources, wiU shoot a-lhead of us; and the want of har- mony amongst ourselves in the selection of men for prominent stations in the government must impair eur influeace abroad. The unhappy selection of an improper character for Minister to Mlexico is paralyzing our relations with that new Government, and has given Great Britain great advantages over us. A- At aU evutts, h mry be well doubted whether Europe will ever attempt to reconquer America, and it is even apparent that France desires to recognize the independence of St. Domingo. " The first important step which will be taken under the sanction of the Britislh Government, will be an attempt to unite the Pacific and Atlantic by the shortest cut, and surveys for that purpote havd been authorized. It is not doubted that a canal can be made, and at a moderate cost, and the British will possess themselves of terri- tory on the Pacific and Atlantic, which will give them the command of the mouths of this most important and valuable of all canals in ithe world; thus keeping one foot in India, and the other in South America, holding in one hand a vast European influence, and in the other the commerce of South America, the Gulplh of AMexico, It cannot be expected that we can keep pace with Great Britain, but we can do more than we do at present; a,,d under a bet- ter organized anid more popular Administration we will do more. We hear much said of the harmony subsisting between Great Bri. tain and the United States, and the united staength of both nations; this benefits us less than Great Britain-it strengthens the strongest, and we keep in her wake. There is, however, no cause of jea. lousy; we have done as much iY the advancement of national eha- racter as any nation, and we are progressing with rapid and suc- cessful strides. There are some important measures whici we are called upon to take. Exertions should be used to settle the claims of lands in Florida, and have that ntew territory im- proved and sttengthened by population. Our navy requires an effiecier organization and a bettergovernment altogether. Ships, instead efrotting at our docks, should be matned and equipped, and] a display made in parts of tha world which may give an influence to our flag. Alen of tried worth, of popular manners, and urndoubted talents, should be selected as the representatives of our country on foreign stations. We want niore harmony and weight, and moreef- ficiency and character in the administration. Great and important chaniges will, in all probability, take place next year, which may give additional weight and influence to the United States in our con- cerns with foreign powers."

" The stock of the Bank of the United States has been steadlily advancing for soume time past, until it has attainedl a point of appre- ciation not only much above what it has been at any previous pe. riot since its great depression, at the close of the first adiniDistratloti of the institution, but which looks like an approximation (though from different causes) towards the inflated value which speculation attached to it during the first years of its existence. Large sales have been made at New York as high as 22i per cent. above par, anid that is the price at which the stock is last quoted in must of the eastern cities. This advance is not the efFect of reckless speculation, of the prosperous condition of the institution, the abundance of eapi- tal in the commercial cities, ana the increased confidence of monied men in the Bank, as a safe and profitableinstitution forthe invwstment of surplus capital. The large loan lately effected by the Bank to the Government for the payment of the Spanish claimants, anct the pro. bability of others which it is known the Government contermplates negotiating, it. the reduction of the public debt, have doubtless had considerable influence in raising the stuck of the Bank to its present price, and these causes combined may carry it even much hMgher. "NEW YORI, JWthE 12. "SHAWNEE AND DELAIVAatE INsXDAsXs.The Arkauisas Ga- zette of the 20tb of April, s ates that serious alarms existed among the inliabitants of Batesville, in consequence of some disorderly movements amoisg theShawnees, Delawares, and othter Indian tribes, who had removed to that section of our territory within the last two or three years. The youths among these tribes are said to be so dc- termnined on murdering the whites, that some of the old and friendly hiefs bad left the terrttory because they found it impossible to re, strain them. Unless a military pOSt was established on White River, it was beieved that the countryabout Batesville would soo be aban- doned to the Indians. "NEW YORK, JuNE 15.
