NW YORK HERALD. ay, February 1, 1546. Issue of Events. We have received from our special correspon- dent, whom we sent to Washington for the pur- pose, and also through several other private sources, and letters from persona well acquainted with the state of parties in Congress, the probable result ot the present condition of things in the capitol, as re- gards the foreign policy of this country, and also the prospect relative to the succession to the presi” deney in 1848 During the present session, both houses of Con- greas have deen principally occupied in skirmishing or preliminary debates on our foreign policy on the Oregon controversy, or on the affairs of Mexico. These debates have terminated in no distinct vote but merely in approaching what may be the probable sentiments of Congress on the issues involved, par- ticularly in respect to the Oregonquestion. Several preliminary votes have veee taken, expressive of these sentiments, such as thar on General Cass’s motion, on the subject of inquiring into the miltary and naval resources of the country, whieh seemed to be rather warlike in the result, until that was etlaced by.the votes on the motions of Senator Al- Jeo, which assumed a different complexion. The debates on these motions were very warm, and very warike and very curious; but the speeches were princ y addressed to what we call ** Buncombe,” or in other words, were merely intended to operate on the floatihg portion of the population, and to make capital for the elections. Yet beneath tnis turbulent ocean of words, there has been a great deal of dis inct and positive arrangements made among the parties at Washington, which will have a most important bearing on our foreign and domestic poliey, as well as other measures, and which are all mixed up with the succession to the presidency. We mean now togive a programme of the state of things, as incicated by facts that have come to the knowledge o four correspondents;and communicated to us. The parties in Congress may be divided into three sections, the whigs forming a very important body ; the democrats the other most important body of men, having also the reins of government in their hands; and, in addition to tuese two parties, there is a distinet party, which may be called the “indepen- dents,” being those members who are princtpally at- tached tothe fortunes of John C. Calhoun. During the lasttwo months, the whigs after a great many consul tations, have very generally agreed among their lead. ers to bring forward for the next Presidency, Winfiela Seott, Major General of the United States Army There has been an effort made among them, to make Judge M'Lean the candidate of that party; but the effort died, and Wasannuiled by the supposed greater popularity and availability of General Scott, Og the other hand, the democrats, or those attached to the fortunes of the administration, are divided into a number of separate Presidential cliques, comprehended under the names of Wright, Benton, Cass, Walker, Buchanan, Dallas and perhaps some others. Mr. Polk, the present chief magistrate, from his official position, if necessity should require it, will be the candidate of his party, although he must of course deny at present that he has any wish for the office again. Lastly, the independents who may be called the “ free trade” party, the Girondists of the present day, the juste miiliew, look on John C. Calhoun as their leader, and mean to support him for the next presidency at all hazards, without re- spect to conventions or nominations from any quar- ter. The determination of the independents over the country, is a great and important fact, possess- ing 4 great control on the next presidency, and, per- haps, decisive of the particular result. ‘The strength of these three parties in Congress, varies very much. In the Senate, the independents, or friends of Mr. Calhoun, can give a majority to either the democrats or whigs as they list. They Humber some six or eight votes. In the House these balance-of-power-men have not yet sufficient- ly revealed their strength to enable any one to de- termine what influence they possess. It is probable however, that the democrats or exclusive supporters of the administration, have a small majority in the House The influence of these private and secret arrange- ments among the leading politicians at Washington, will be very great on the issues of our foreign and domestic policy, comprehending the Oregon con- troversy, the Sub-Treasury, the Tariff, and perhaps other measures. We are perfectly satisfied, from what we have seen, and what we know— First, that no absolate ‘notice’ relative to the Oregon ques- tion, will pass the Senate, and therefore it cannot get the sanction of both houses. The passing of @ notice cannot be accomplished at the present ssion, because the independents, or friends of Mr. Calhoun—being friendly to negotiation— will be a sufficient check to the war party in the Senate even if the war party in the House have a large majority. Again, it is highly probable, judging from the same data, that—Secondly, a modification of the tariff of 1842 will take place by a union of the democrats and independents in the two houses ; and also— Thirdly and /astly, that the same majori- ty will be able to pass the Sub-Treasury bill proposed by the President in his late message. These are the most accurate conjectures that we can now form of the present state of parties and their resulis in Congress. The most recent intelli- zence of the probable return of Mr. Calhoun to the State Department, will not vary much these results; but rather give strength to the presumption that the Oregon question will be settled by negotiation, and the aril inodified, and the Sub-Treasury bill pass- ed. The results, thus far so unexpected, at the be- winning of the session of Congress, have, in a mea- sure, been brought about by the independent posi~ tion and moral powerexhibited by Mr. Calhoun and his friends, in resisting and opposing all those who supported ultra measures relative to our relations with Great Britain, ‘The probable prospect, therefore, of the present state of things in Washington is highly tavorable to sa peaceable termination of our difficulties with Eng- Jand—of the success of liberal principles in com- merce and currency, and the probable triumph of the measures brought forwerd by Mr. Polk. How the question of the next Presidency may be, will be a matter of speculation hereafter. Intetui@gnce FRom Haytt.—Our ,advices from Portau Prince are to the 12th instant. They are of some importance. ‘The difficulties between the Spanish and Haytien parts of the Island remain unchanged. Both par- ‘ies were making extensive preparations for a final conflict, and it was thought that it would take place in the month of February. Strong hopes were enter- tsined by the Dominicans that they would be victo- ‘ous, In the meantime, the Haytien fleet of wer schooners are falling to pieces and into the hands | of their enemies. According to the report of Capt Holmes, of the Susan, arrived yesterday, the three | Haytien men of war, which were cast away near that place, had been taken possession of by the Do- minicans, who had made prizes ot them, and cap. tured their crews, consisting of 150 persons. They nad succeeded in getting two of the vessels off shore, and saved the guns, spars, sails, ic , from the other. There is one feature in the iatelligence from this tertile island that is of considerable importance, It 18 that relative to the concentration of a large Spa- nish fleet at Havana. It appears that the Domini- cans had applied to Spain for aid ; that it had been granted ; and that the fleet which has created so much astonishment in this country, has assem- bled to take part in the struggle between the two races on the Island of Hayti. It also appears that several Spanish officers are in St, Domingo, di- reoting the military movements of the Domini- cans. This news, if it be true, throws a fresh ine terest over the affairs in Hayti and St. Domingo. Musicat.—De Mever’s Re-arrearance.7-We uuderstand that the celebrated artist Leopeld De Meyer will make his re-appearance before a New York audience at the Tabernacle oa Thursday next. He is now, we believe, sufficiently recovered from his recent indisposi'ion to appear betore the public, and create another sensation. On this occasion it 1s stated that he will introduce for the first tume in this country the celebrated com- position of David, called “ The Desert,” which ap- pears to be now the rage in Paris, Vienna, and all the capitals of Europe, and among the fashionable circles. This celebrated musical composition, one of the chef d’auvres of the age, is tounded on some original musical ideas picked up among the Arabs of the driving desert. 1t is considered most unique aud nch. Leopold De Meyer will perform it on the oceasion referred to, in the Tabernacle, in com- pany with C. Perabeau, one of the best artists on the same instrument in this city. We have every reason to believe that the re-appear- ance of De Meyer will produce a musical revival, or something like it, in the fashionable world. When he left us on a former occasion, all musical excitement seemed to leave at the same time. He now comes back in a better physical condition, and may produce a greater impression than ever, as he commences his career with one ef the finest com- positions, which has set all Europe in a state of ex- citement, as may be recollected by a letter published in this journal from our correspondent in Vienna. This subject is already the talk of the day among the fashionable circles. A Rosk UNDER ANY OTHER Name, Kc. &c.—We have been requested by ** Morgan,” the New York correspondent of the Washington Union, to state that he is not the ‘‘ Morgan” alluded to in our arti- cle in the Herald. We readily make the correc- tion. Neither is ‘“‘ Morgan” of the Herald the Morgan of Thurlow Weed. . Our “‘ Morgan” is the legiti- mate production of beef-steaks, chowder, and soft shell crabs. 'Theatri Theatricals in this country a1 condition. In this city particularly, for the last three or four weeks, the two principal thentres —the Park and Bowery—have been crowded to y evening. At the former, Shakepeare’s tragedy o! “Richard II,” has been produced by Mr. and Mrs.Charles Kean, in a style of splendor and magnificence entirely unsurpa: in the annals of the drama. The scenery, jn addition to its beauty, was accurate and freed from those anachronisms which have heretofore marred the beauty of the representations of Shakspeare’s plays The correctness and brilliancy of the spectacle have dazzled all eyes. The tragedy was pliyed sixteen con- tecative nights, ond the receipt amounted to about $16 000. Tne Keans have played one hundred and nine nights in America, and we fearn have realized over $30,000. still in{a flourishing y Txatne.—Last evening the “ Wizard of the * was again presented at the Bowery to a crowed house. The intense interest excited in the drama is not tobe wondered at. The beauty of its scenery and stage effect, united with the interest of the plot, must continue to draw tremendous houses for some time to come. It will be presented again on Monday night, with the come- dy of “ Lucky Stars.” Hows’s Cincus.—This delightful place of resort conti- nues to be nightly filled with large and fashionable audi- ences.

Ho was the eldest son of an Italian, who educatedjhim in the science of music. His first master was the Maestro Coccia, and afterwards he ed himself for several years under Signor De Beg- nis’ instructions. In a short time he made rapid pro- gress, and in those provincial towns which Signor De _ Begnis used to visit yearly, he took Giubilei with him as one of the bassos of his Italiancompany. He made him appear in several characters in Italian operes. After three years of good practising with the Signor, and visiting the principal provincial towns in England, Scotland end Ireland, he wi gaged at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, in London, where he remained until he was engaged by Mr. Price, of the Park Theatre, to come to America. His death is deeply regrette: by everybody who knew him in London, and he is parti- cularly regretted by us. Giubilei has a brother who sings basso.

These advices were received at Pensa- cola and New Orleans. The revolution of Paredes, at those dates, was complete. That general had entered the city of Mexico, and was forming his ministry or cabinet. The numerous rumors from Mexico of the execu- tion of Mr. Slidell, are probably mere rumors, and | are hardly worth a thought. | This new state of things in Mexico, are fraugh; with a good deal of importance to this country; and we are, therefore, looking for later intelligence with | the greatest interest. It is expected by a few intel- ligent men, among whom is our correspondent Fouché, that Mr. Shdell will succeed better with Paredes than with Herrera ; that, Paredes, being a man of some decision of character, and understand- | ing our institutions, will, in the course cf a shor! | time, receive our Minister, and open negotiations with him. In this point of view, the revolution may be of incalculable advantage to this country ; for it is always better in national matters, asin ali others, to treat with a man of firmness and deci~ sion, such as Paredes is represented to be, than with a weak man, like Herrera. It is to be expected, however, that until our rela- tions with Mexico are placed en a sure ‘and safe basis, our naval forces in the Gulf will have to be increased, and our army on the Rio Grande kept in good fighting condition. With a view to be in rea- Giness, the frigates Cumberland and Potomac have been ordered to the Southern station, and the former has already sailed from Boston for her destination. Other vessels will, probably, soon depart for the Gulf, there to await the turn of events in the city of Mexico. 1c is not at allunlikely that the President will re- commend Congress to take some decided measures with Mexico in less ‘han two months. We are pets however, ina state of great uncer- tainty. The tollowing letter from the New Orleans Picayune ot the 23. instant,contains statements that | may prove to be correct.

They contain some rather interesting intelligence. ‘The Earl Cathcart has been appointed Governor General of Canada, in view, probably, of his milita- | ry talents. Tt was rumored in Montreal that the miliua were | to be “immediately embodied.” This, however, was contradicted in some circles. The Montreal papers are chiefly interesting for the commentary they upon the foreign news by the Hibernia. That news, says the Montreal Transcript, “although it has not answered the war expectations of some, has in generally recei ith satisfaction in this province,” and it accounts for its unexpectedly paci- fic tone on the ground that “it is not worth the while of two nations, which commerce draws closer together every day, to quarrel about a howling wilderness situa- | ted tar distant from both of them.” And it adds, “ allow- ance is also made for the foolish gasconading langusge which Am statesmen are in the habit of indulging in; and it is moreever set down that if any man can main- tam peace with these brawling republicans, Sir Robert Peel is that mau.” Notwithstanding the altered tone which this eulogy of the ability of the British minister to “ maintain peace” with us republicans implies—so dif ferent from the previous boast of eagernens for war— there are occasional paragraphs in the columns of these Papers altogether belligerent. fe make a few extracts from the papers, to show the feeling in Canada towards this Union. [From the Mentreal Transcript, Jan. 27] The appointment of Eurl Cathcart to the government | of this province has been, in all probability, suggested by the uncertain nature of the relations at preseut exiat- | Ing between Great Britain and the United States. Al though wo by no means apprehend a war, we can per- fectly understand that the appointment of a man possess- in e military reputation of Lord Cathcart may be use- ful in more s than ong. For rest, we that his lordship will be found q: uate to a if government. He is considered to por habits, and is not likely to allow his baton a mere plaything in his bands. It is stated that thirteen thousand troops of the line, of miners, have Jan 22) 10 long sowing had some success in sufficiently acquainted what may become the subject of judicial law and contempt of lawful authority, is certain.
