NEWS BY THE GREAT WESTERN, Enauisn Ortwions on Ammrican AFPairs.— There isa strange “ re-action” in the tone of some of the American papers just received. The fiom which they formerly expressed has vanished, and confidence has suddenly taken the place of despair The loud war note against ‘England too, is sunk into the thinnest treble, and * peace” with* this country is the watchword with many of our trans- Atlantic contemporaries. As a specimen of the new style of writing which the American journals ure now pees to adopt, we take the following ‘rom the first leader of the New York Herald of the 28th of April, which may be looked upon as a de- ‘noeratic organ of influence. Mr. James Gordon Gennett, the editor of that journal, holds forth in this style — “ This country—this glorious land—has at length reached the bottom. We have touched the solid rock—in commerce, currency, polities, religion, virtue, demorali- zation, folly, charlatamigm, and good sense. From this day forward, the march of the republic will be onward and upward, in every element of civilization and seund economy. “ Our negotiations with England are making great pro, gress, and every symptom indicates a long, lasting, and honorable peace” Our difficulties with Siexieo Jo not look so fair, but the Mexicans can be thrashed into de- cency. In domestic politics we are in a very interesting state. For the first time since the revolution, we have a President muking the experiment of governing the coun- try without a party, but simply trusting to the principles of common sense and rectitude ofa free people. ‘This has produced some confusion in the action of Congress, and causet some discredit to the public finances--but things will yet come right. The next presidency is three years off—and little can be said of the result of the present” state of parties. “ In commerce and currency there can be no mistake. In the greater portion of the country, the rotten banks have closed, and things are adjusting themselves to » The bankrupt law has less effect than had anticipated. The swcsin is promising, and great hopes are formed of the Coming crops. ‘The whole active commerce of the nation is re-organizing itself on a sound basis. Congress will unquestionably pass a new revenue law, increasing the duties—but the embarrassed “annot recover in many years. The great State of New York is the first to lead the way in resuscitation of public credit, and the principtes of honesty.” _ This change is far too stiddeit to last. The Ame- rican must not siepose for a moment that the people in this country can be deluded by this “ go head” sort of language. The first step towards the progress of the United States “ in civilization and sound economy” isa restoration of their mercantile credit. Until that be regained which is lost, all talk out America having “totiched the solid rock in commerce and etirrenty” is perfectly idle and _use- ess. That restoration, we must tell our friends over the water, isnot to be accomplished without sacri- fices on their part, and not until the various States of the union have proved by a clear, honest, and de- termined action in their legislatures, that due pro- vision has been made for paytient of the interest on their public debts. First of all, the Federal Trea- sury must be relieved from its existing insolvency. Until the credit of the government be good, that of the nation must be pelow pat, and to that end every body knows that a loan must be negotiated in the European market. President ‘Tyler may get a mil- lion or two of dollars at home, but he must come to England for his wants, and he looks to this market for 14 or 15 millions of dollars. ‘The Americans know very well how to “ work the éraelé :” and as they have wares to sel! John Bull, at present, they take special good care to bring them forward with ull the puff and splendor which display thernselves in the above quotation from the pen of Mr. Gordon Bennett. It will not succeed. On that Mr. Presi- lent Tyler may faithfully rely. The American federal loan will not be lesked at by London capi- talists, until the States of the Union evince sound principles of faith towards their public. creditors under subsisting engagements. No Kotive in the city dares take upon itself the reaonsibility of introdu- cing American serip té the notice of their fellow citi- zens, under existing circumstances, We care not how arent or powerful any firm may be ; the attempt would fail, and could only terminate in the defeat of those who should be fool-hardy enough to come for- ward with the proposals. Congress may repeal the Land Distribution Act if they choose, and increase the revenue of Customs, although there is not much appearance that either a new tariff or a repeal of the Land Bill will pass this session. But whether they do so, or adjourn without passing any legis- lative measure. regarding either point, the fee of this equntry will not be duced to subscribe to the federal loan until the citizens of the United States trn over a new leaf, and tax themselves suffi- ciently to equalize their revenue and expenditure. The acceptance of the federal loan is the key- note to be struck as a test, and until that scrip pass current in Europe, the utmost éxertions bf the citi- zens of the United States to regain their cfedit will be ineffeetual. They may run up their faver- ite stock for a time. Some of them indeed, such as those of New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, are so low that we cannot doubt that they have fairly “ bottemed ;” but in respect of the general class of American securites, they must all remain at a low price until the credit of the Federal inent isresuscitated. Ancillary to that object, and indeed, essential to its suceess, is the expulsion of all the paper of the insolvent banks, and the esta- blishment throughout the Union of a sound system of national currency upon a unifotm specie basis. Itis all stuff to write about things “ adjusting them- selves to a specie basis.” ‘The voluntary system will never bring about the benefits of a sound cur- rency in America. Decisive ¢oniprehensive legis- lation must be adopted to enforce the change, and Congress must exert its sovereign power “to coin money and regulate the value thereof,” as specially vested in that body by the constitution, in erder to compel the local legis! s to abandon their past vicious system of banking. — London Dlorning Chronicle, American Loans.—The New York Herald, of. the 29h ult. received by the Britannia steamer yesterday, a Rane which has obtained considerable celebrity in the United States, fgr the attention it pays to monetary affairs, contains the following. * * * * We feel it our imperative duty to warn English capitalists against our Yankee money-hunting triends, who are about to make a regular descent upon John Bull. Private letters state that a brother- inlaw of Mr. Forward, the present Secretary of the Treasury, will shortly sail for England, with a view to negociate the new United States loan. A host of vultures are coming over from individual States on the same sort of errand, so that a pretty sharp look-out need be kept on these gentlemen, and we shall take care to give notice of their ar- rival. After the experience of the last few years, persons deserve but little pity if they allow themselves to be caught in any such traps. The American papers state that some portion of the government loan has been taken up in America, but we are assured from undoubted authority that such statements and rumors are wholly incorrect, and merely made that the bait may be more readily swallowed in England. Whilst on the subject of loans, we may advert to a rumor that has received some countenance in the city, to the effect that Lord Ashburton has committed himself to the American government, so far as to offer them his influence in getting a portion of the new State loan taken up in England. No credit is, however, at- tached to the report amengst respectable circles, for these valid reasons, that it could form no part of his instructions as the accredited representative of his Sovereign and country on the one hand, and on the other it would be an impeachment of his cha- racter for sagacity and prudence, if he overstepped these bounds with the existing fegling running so strong against American investf@ats on account of their open and avowed violation of faith. After what has already occurred, what guarantee can be given that the loan voted in the present session may not be repudiated and thrown overboard in the next session of Congress? The highest service that can be rendered the Americans is to allow them to rest fora time at least upon their own resources, that they may be compelled to rely upon patient steady perseverance in industrial pursuits, and not upon gambling speculation, which is certain to be fos- tered and encouraged 80 long as by any species of gasconade and deception they are able to aa of what, by @ misnomer, they denominate securities in the English market. The opinion, indeed, very generally expressed upon the subject is, that’ who- ever, under existing circumstances, bind themselves as agents to facilitate the sale of American bonds, will in some measure become a particeps criminis in that gross violation of moral obligation, which has conferred such a bad eminence on the present generation of the Anglo Saxon race under the very extreme of popular institutions in the United States. —London Standard. Tue Rigur or Searcu—Paris, May 19.—The Paris papers of this day are almostexclusively taken up with the protest of General Cass (American Minister at the French Court,) whioh they copy from the Times ot Friday last. Why they were not yesterday ares with it was, because that, taking advantage of the great Festival of Pentacost, the majority of them refrained from publishing. The affair, has, however, lost nothing by the delay. La Presse again distinguishes itself as a warm advocate of “ American Rights,” and by its hostility to En- gland—a course which public tumor continues to ascribe, truly or fulsely—not to the merits of the question, but to the deep disfavor in which England isheld at the Court of Her Majesty Queen Christi- na, ex-Regent of Spain. Th re Paris press—the Journal des Debats ed—see no means by which the Right of Search question can be pacifically settled but by the withdrawal of the pretensions of England, or, in other words, the suppression of the Treaty of the 2th of December. How far your government may feel inclinéd to abandon its present position, and re- hiaguish the enforcement of that treaty, I know not: but it does not appear by any means necessary, after the point made by Lord Aberdeen, thatthe mainte nance of your position and persistence in the execu- ‘ion of the treaty should bring about war. The Amyrican object only to your pretensions to senrel their ships, and you only propose to ascertain if ves. ei can. Ui Unless , your act of ascertaining the nationality of a ship under American co- lors be no ir llision, and conse- quently of hostilities,exists. The risk consists only in the possibilit from some motive or other an American captain may refuse to give proofs of his nationality, and so provoke foreible entrance into his ship to ascertain that fact, und that a life may be lost in the attempt—a case which I confess could hardly fail to cause much excitement iu the United States. Here is the only risk of war (Lrepeat) that presents itself from your carrying the treaty of De- cember 20, 1841, into execution, and for this chance you should be prepared ; but it 1s so obvious, that it willno doubt have been foreseen by Lord Aberdeen, and will be obviated by Lord Ashburton and the American Government in their discussion of the points at issue between the two countries. Some people here think that the refusal of France to ratify the treaty of December 20 would enhance the danger of war between England and the United States. Ishould be very sorry to believe that this impression were well-founded, for | can assure you —and I pledge myself for the exactitude of that as- surance—the treaty in question will never be ratified by France. If proof be wanted, you will have it in a few days by a discussion that will be provoked in the Chamber of Deputies. Aguin, itis urged that the President's aarcryl of all that General Cass has deemed it his duty to say and do on the subject (and which expressed appro- val is unquestionable) argues a hostile disposition to England on the part of the American Government ; but the friends of peace draw a distinction between the approval and the performance of anact. Gen Cass took a view of the question and pronounced his opinion, and that isall. His pamphlet, and his pro- test, and the expressed approbation of both by the President, bind the American Government, to no course in the negotiations opened at Washington, and which, for all we know, may be conducted on, and directed to, points not embraced in the book or protest of the American Minister in Paris. ‘Thus, although the French press, the French pub- lie, and the French Chamibers, and, 1 will add, the French Ministry, are opposed to the treaty of the 20th of December last, and although it is necessary that the chance of collision through the fault or the tem- per of an American captain of a ship be anticipated and proyided for; and although Mr. Tyler has ex- pressed his approbation of the book and protest of General Cass, which are both before you, there does not, fortunately, appease aayios like real dan- ger of a war between the United States and the mo- ther country ; for the preparations for defence going on inthe United States, to which my attention is also drawn, must be held as only precautionary, and to omit which, in the cirenmstances, no goverument would have been justified. Animal Maayerism.—With regard to “animal magnetism,” as itis called, the case stands thus :— Itis proved by experiment, that, in persons of a de- licate nervous organization, certain most remarka- ble effects can be produced in the nervous system by the areaey of another human being ee at a moderate distance the and directing the points o! figures towards the brain, or moving them slowly up \d down opposite the face. In the course of a few minutes a state resembling somnambulism super- venes, inwhich the eyes are closed, the power of voluntary motion suspended, and, although perfect consciousness Is retained, the will is completely pa- ralyzed. Some sort of relanon seems to be estab- lished between the operator and patient :—involun- tary nervous twitchings are excited by the motions of the former at a considerable distance, and the nerves seem even to be subjected to the will of the magnetizer. From this state the patient is roused instantantously, by the simple process ef the mag- netizer drawing his fingers transversely across the brow. The eylids start open, as if a spring were touched, andthe natural state is restored as com- pore and suddenly asin the case of 2 somnambu- ist awakened from sleep. Up to this point there is no doubt of the facts. They have been repeatedly witnessed and ascertained under circumstances which precludé the possibility of imposture ; indeed, they are by no means of fare or extraordinary oc- currence, and any person who likes ey Gavan himself of their truth by experimenting on his friends. Beyond this, however, certain extraordinary facta are asserted by the acepts in the science, concern- ing the truth of which we say nothing. It id that in certain rare cases a state beyond common somnaribtlism, above described, super- venes, called clairvoyance, or « lear-seeing, from the iniraculous power of seeing things by a new and un- known sense. In this state it is asserted that the pa- tient can read with his eyes shut or bandaged, or de- ciphera book placed behind his back, and can see through walls and discern things going on ata dis- tance of a hundred miles! It 1s further asserted that he becomes insensible to pain; and a well au- thenticated story is told of a lady who had a can- cer extracted from her breast in a hospital at Paris, without being at all aware of it amid the operation was over: For the truth of these and other myste- rious facts connected with the state of clairvoyance, we do not pretend to vouch. It is enough that they have been repeatedly asserted and as atedly de- nied by respectable men, who have had opportuni- ties of investigation, and that, as matters now stand, we must be content to “* eqital folly call, Believing nothing, or believing all.” With regard to the cause of these phenomena we aré equally af sea. The orthodox theo: grave, well-estillished physicians, who, from Har- vey’s time downwards, liave always set their faces against novelties, is, that such part as cannot be put down to delusion, must be attributed to imagina- tion, an explanation which, with all due submission appears to us only to adjourn the difficulty; since, that the imagination should produce such singular oranomalous effects in the nervous system, ia a thing quite as wonderful and mysterious as that there should be a magnetic influence or atmos- phere, The second theory—that of the professors of animal magnetism genetally—is, that the ner- vous fluid, or energy, which, from the experiments of Sir C. Bell, Prevost, Buquerel, and others, is known to exist, and to have a strong analogy to the electrical, is capable of being acted upon and dis- turbed by the nervous energy of another human body, properly directed by an effort of the will, and that this disturbance in the nervous system deranges the relations between volition and motion, and causes the other anamolous and mysterious pheno- mena which are witnessed. A third theory has been lately pe forward by Mr. Braid, of Manchester, which differs from the se- cond, by asserting that the derangement of the ner- vous system, which gives rise to the phenomena, is oceasioned, not by the agency of the nervous ener- gy or will of the magnetizer, but by the tension of the muscles of the optic nerve and eye of the patient himself, producing a description of congestion of the at of rain. Which of these theories is the true one, or rather which is nearest the truth—for no one pretends to ive a complete and scientific account of the pheno- nena—we do not pretend to say; itis enough for us that there are several modes of explanation which afford some glimmering of light, and which pro- mise, if followed up ina candid end liberal apirit of scientific research, to lead to most important results in that most important, though hitherto neglected, department of knowledge—human physiology, the reciprocal relations of mind and matter, nerves and imagination, will and muscular motion; and, ina word, the inward structure and mechanism of this vital frame, so wonderfuily and perfectly devised. Homaoratuy.—The attendance at Dr. Epp’s third lecture on Friday last was much more numerous than on the previous occasions. The lecturer pro- ceeded to explain the preparation of intinitessimal 4 doses. He said that when homepathists wished to prepare a medicine—suppose it were gold which a gave in cancer and caries—they took a grain of leat gold, the purest that could be obtained, and 99 ewe of sugar of milk, that article being employed cause it was most free from impurities, and least likely to interfere with the medicinal poneriee of the agent employed. The sugar of milk was divi- ded into parcels of 38grainseach. They then rub- bed the grain of gold for six minutes with 38 grains of the sugar of milk, and afterwards employed fonr minutes to collect this together at the bottom of the mortar. They then added 38 more grains of sugar of, milk, rubbed that with the firs ins for six minutes, and expended four minutesin collecting the whole from the sides of the mortar and pestle. Th third parcel of 33 grains was thon rubbed for six minutes with the 66 grains previously rubbed, and four minutes were again employed in carefully col- lecting the whole into a mass. "This was called the first tritaration. They then took one grain of the mass and subjected it to a like process of admixture with 99 more grains of sugar of milk. A grain of this mass containing the ten thousandth part of a grain of gold, was again rubbed with 99 more grains of sugar of milk, divided as before, and the process was continued until they gotthe millionth part of a grain. There was, therefore, no very great myste- ry about the matter, but it was explicable in a few words. The process, however, did not terminate here. They took one grain from the million, dis- solved it in 50 drops of spirits of wine and 50 drops of water, and shook them together; then took one drop of this and mixed it with 99 more drops of spiri of wine and water; and then took anotner drop of this, and continued rill the thirtieth degree, which was decennial, and the most common degree in which medicines were administered. ‘They never used but one mortar for one thing, and never desist- ed from an operation until it was finished. It took three hours for the preparation of one powder. As to the operation of these doses, the Doctor referred tochemistry and the vegetable kingdom to prove the operation of atom apon atom, and he did not see why itshould not be the same in medicine. He was listened to with marked attention, and promised to enter more fully into the arguments against the new system this evening (Friday.) : Tnow Steampoat ror THR Reove.—A heautifal new iron steamer called the Eagle, will leave the Thames in a day or two for Marseilles, destined te burn and Mace. at isabout 280 tons; leap Se Seats Sonar oeee with a eat Ta ore : ime sie power at erame i draught of water is only one foot teni is is an im- portant point as the navies tatbe Ahape which is not only a very rapid river, but is in man: places not more than three feet deep. “ Rattroaps 1n France —The Chamber of Peers assembled on Monday in their committee rooms for the varpone of electing a committee to report on the railroad bill brought up from tne Chamber of Depu- ties. ‘This bill contains—first, a general classifica- tion ef the lines intended to be constructed ; second, a second system of execution which imposes on the departments traversed by those railroads, the pay- ment of two thirds of the value of the ground to be purchased.

His last novel was Zanoni, of which probably 40,000 at 121-2 cents per copy, were circulated throughout society in the space of ten days. There has been a great deal said against the cireu- lation and influence of tie new cash newspaper press —but we will venture to say that the morals of so- ciety in this country, are more sapped and mined by the circulation of cheap fashionable literature—such as Bulwer’s—than by all the newspapers in existence —those who affect to call themselves exclusive and fashionable in these contemptible times, are the rea- ders of such works—and a more insolent and demo- ralized crew of beings exists in no country than such aclass. Without any integrity, honesty, industry, orbenevolence of character, the exclusives and fash ionables who read all such trashy literature, can on- ly support these pretensions by the modern system of finance,.which is cheating reduced to ascience, and shaving perpetrated on a large scale.

April Fool Day—No April Fools below, however} Captain Billy—A Dentist—and last, but not lea: our Noble Commodore on this Station. Dear Benxert :— Last night the American squadron arrived fro the River Plate, after an absence of nearly thr} months; and to-day may be seen the officers p4 ambulating the streets in all directions. The market here isdull for all kinds of produ at present, and there is very little doing—also 1 very few vessels in harbor. The captain of one ship on this station, has some time been very intimate in the city of R with the daughter of an American ship-chand\ resident, and doing asmall business here. She hi paid frequent visits to his ship, and, in fact, co: manded it whilst in port. It is notan uncomm« thing for a poor reefer, who has overstaid his ti to call on her, and ask her permission to remain t} such an hour of the night. She then indites a no to Captain Billy, saying—“ Dear Billy, I have giv R—n permission to remain on shore to-night, Poor fellow, he really wants more liberty. You truly, E—a.” She also hac such influence o Captain Billy, that he suspends officers on her count. Jt isnot an uncommon thing, as I und stand, for her to take her station in her balcony the Rua de Reita, and aniimadvert upen the office as they pass. ‘* Oh, Billy, Billy ! there goes roaring drunk. Suspend him?’ Sure enough tl luckless wight was suspended. Next conspicuous in the American beau monde Rio Janeiro, is a Dentist, ., Who has thrust hi self into notice by his mendacious garrulity. It confined to the English and Americans in the pl. until he learnt how to gabble Portuguese, and no it troubles every one at all connected with, or c: tiguous to him. He lies about every one—a thereby hangs a taic.

Tue Porsce-—The ridiculous and nonsensical attacks upon the efficiency of the officers of Police, holding come missions from the Mayor, that emanate from a portion of the press of this city, excite naught but contempt from those who are in any way acquainte! with the arduous du- ties imposed upon these few officers and the efficiency with which all business entrusted to their charge is gen- erally conducted. Within the past few weeks their ac- tivity and energy hasbeen fully illustrated by the prompt manner in which the whole gang of counterfeiters, who had resorted to this city to practice their arts, headed by the notorious Otis Allen, have been arrested, even before they had succeeded in passing five dollars of the spurious issues of which they hadthousands. ‘That their number is insufficient for the wants of this great and grow ing city, we readily admit, but no city in this Union can show a body, of so few men, that can equal them in activity, en- ergy and shrewdness. Wespeak from a full and practical knowledge of their daily transactions, contrasted with those attached to other cities, and not from out-door rumor and hear say, such as forms the foundation of three-fourths of the false statements published relative to them. In addition toa multiplicity of rumored allegations, we find some noise made relative to reported burglaries in the upper part of the city, and an application of some fifteen persons to the Common Council for an extended police. A number of burglaries have recently taken place in that vi- cinity we believe, and every expedient has been resorted to by the Police Justices and officers, to remedy the com- plaints and correct the offenders. Among those of recent occurrence, we note the following as an illustration of the activity of the officers, and as an evidence that half the so called “burglaries” are caused by the same agents. A few weeks since the house of John R. Townsend, Esq., of No. 1 Washington Place, was supposed to have been burglariously entered, and silver plate, &c. valued at about $60, had been stolen. Complaint was made at the Police and officers Colvin and Relyea undertook the business.— After much search and many sleepless nights, they disco- vered that ‘the notorious burglar,” who lad entered the house by breaking a pane of glass in one of the basement windows and stealing the property, was a female servant in the employ of the family, and one in whom implicit confidence had been placed!

This barrel wes placed in the area of the house, and two days after “the bur- glary” had been committed, she hired a boy to convey the barrel from the dwelling in a hand cart, in broad daylight, and while the inmates of the premises were in the room adjoining! In addition to this case, we unhesitatingly assert that more than half “the burglars” that have been committed to prison within the lust six months, have been servants in the families who have been robbed, and the minutes of the Court of Sessions will fully confirm our statement. Persons should therefore be extremely cau- tious who they engage in that capacity, and insist, in all cases, upon such a recommendation as will show previous good character, if nothing more.

Disierznment or 4 Booy.—On Sunday, the 15th of last month, Mr. John Norton, an extensive and wealthy shoe manufacturer, of Augusta, Ga., arrived in this city in the brig Dimon, from Charleston, in a weak state of health, with the intention of sailing for England to improve 't. He visited the refectory kept by John H. Burley, on the south-east corner of Broadway and Fulton-streets, the same afternoon, from whence it appears he was unable to be removed until Tuesday afternoon, when he was con- veyed to the Hospital,and died on Thursday the 19th. From the factof his having considerable money by him, and some otber circumstances attending his decease, Burley was arraigned before the Police last week, and fully exa- mined as to the cause of his death, when it was discover. ed that he had received a draft onthe Fulton Bank for $315 from deceased, which had been deposited with him in the North River Bank, and a pertion of the amount drawn out.

This sum was refunded on Thursday Jast, after his examination before the Police Jus- tice. Janene i.
