EW YORK HERALD. New York, Monday, May 25, 1847. = <=; Mission to Kurope. pu The Prorrseror of this journal intends to visit Europe in a few weeks, and will be absentfor se- veral months, his object being to establish perma- nent correspondents, of the highest order, for the columns of his journal, infall the principal capitals of the old continent—embracing London, Paris, Vienna, Berlin, St. Petersburgh, Rome, Naples, &c. We have already engaged correspondents for Mexico, and several, particularly, to follow the army of occupation a far as it may go into the interior of that country. We have also correspond= ents in several other important points in Central and in South America, In the new-position assumed by tho United ded and assisted by ihe recent brilliant jents on the Rio Grande, which is only the beginning of a new age in the world, this republic maust, at/an early day, become the leading, the model, and the mos: powerful nation of the eivil- ized world. The newspaper press of her great cities must prepare, by energy, enterprise and genius, to support her destiny. Hence the pur- pose of our visit to Europe, Any information, aid, adviee, or letters which our friends can furnish us with, will be thankfully received, We intend sailing on the 16th of June. During onr absence, Mr. Freperic Hupsox, who has been connected with the Herald since the first year of its existence, will have the editorial man- agement of its columns and course. ——S=—— Nows from Europe. The steam ship Great Britain, Captain Hosken, isin her sixteenth day, and is, therefore, fully | due. She will bring four days later intelligence. THE IMPORTANT NEWS PROM THE RIO GRANDE. The important intelligence received yesterday from the Rio Grande, will be found on the outside of this day’s paper. Ifany thing further of importance reaches us this morning, from the war quarter, it will be is- sued in an Extra Herald. The greatest desire is now manifested for more news. “Two or three steamers with news from Point {sabel were due at New Orleans on the 17th and | 18th inst. ‘The Victories on the Rio Grande. General Taylor has covered himself and the American arms with glory. It is difficult to speak with moderation on the two brilliant actions fought on the banks of the RioGrande. The par- ticulars of these victories were received yesterday morning in this city, by telegraph from Philadel- phia, in anticipation of the mail from New Or- jeans nearly thirty-six hours. The excitement which the first promulgation of the news created may be imagined, but not described. The whole of the great metropolis of New York was in a stato of indescribable excitement all day, Ex- presses, we believe, were sent to Boston and other places, communicating the glorious intelli- gence. We may probubly receive further particu- lars of these brilliant victories, by the regular mail from New Orleans ; till then, we must wait with patience. Ifany further particulars shall be re- ceived this morning, we will immediately issue ih extra. ‘The campaign against Mexico has now opened | with a brilliancy and bravery that augurs well for the prompt and glorious termination of the war against that republic, It will create a feeling of excitement and enthusiasm—an impulse towards waiitary adventures throughout the land—that will precipitate upon Mexico, in less than three months, fifty thousand ot the best troops and the bravest men that have ever been seenon this continent. General Taylor, and the gallant troops under his command, have created a spirit of en- thusiasm which cannot be realised, and which will not be satisfied until the highest distinction of the republic shall be heaped upon that able, bra’ itriotic, and distinguished comman Jer. General Taylor will yet be rewarded by the American people, for the genius,bravery, coolness and patriotism with which he has opened this war. Nothing can prevent him from being our chief magistrate, by the popular suffrages of the country, at a future day. Having accomplished thus much, the enquiry now is—What next? Preparntions are making in all directions for calling forth volunteers—increas- ing the army—fitting out vessels of war—tor the display of a military and naval force, by the Ame- nvan governinent, unprecedented on this conti- nent. We trust, however, that in, bringing this war to a euccessiul and speedy termination, our government will not forget that we are at war with tyrants, and not with the people of Mexico. In all their movements, manifestoes, declarations and proclamations, let the American government never forget this great and paramount distinction between the military usurpers and tyrants, and the great republic itself, numbering eight millions of fellow Christians and fellow republicans. Whether the present invasion—for it must be an invasion, to the very gates of Mexico—whether. this invasion will end in annexation, ought to rest | with the sutirages, desires, and wishes of the Mexicans themselves. Let the American army, in all its movements, proclaim to the Mexican people that we niake no war on the inalienable rights of Mexico—that the American people wish them to enjoy a free government, like our own— that it is our desire to see that glorious country shape its own destiny, and take her proper rank smong the nations of the earth—that we only | make war ypon the tyrants and usurpers of the rights and liberties of the Mexican people, who have trampled on that favored soil for nearly twen- ty-five years. In a few days this glorious news will go by the steamship to England. The victories. on the Rio | Grande—the preparations, both by land and sea —the energy displayed—the unanimity of the country—will teach the powers of Europe that it wasno idle compliment when Mons. Guigot ad- mitted that the United States had become one of the first of the great powers of the world. After this campaign against Mexico shall be terminated, foreign powers will learn that the American arms and American miiltary genius, while they possess the natural cnergies of the Anglo-Saxon race in Europe, have received an additional impulse from the perfect liberty under which they have grown up on this great continent. The best commentary on the President’s opening message to Congress will be found in the recent events on the Rio Grande. ———___ Common Councrt.—Both Boards are to meet this evening, at their usual hour, 5o’clock. It is expected they will proceed to the appointment of 100 additional policemen, the increase authorized by a recent act of the Legislature. It is also prob- able that the additional force will be apportioned off amongst the various wards of the city, in the | same ratio as the present force is distributed. In the Board of Assistants, the Committee to whom was referred thé petition of Bloomfield, Bloodgood and others, for permission to construct a railroad through Hudson street and Eighth ave- nue to McCoombs’ Dam, it is said will be prepar- 6d to present their report. ——<$<$_____ Tamareicat Movexxwts.—Mr. and Mrs. Charles | Kean arrived yesterday, at the Astor, from the South, in fulfilment of their engagement at the Park Theatre, which commences this evening. | against Templeton, in this paper, ‘The ; ayetnet the Vocalist. One of the most remarkable developements, disclosing the system practiced by some persons either attached to the newspaper press, or follow- ing upon the outskirts of musical criticism, has lately been made. The discovery was stu ‘upon by one ofour law reporters im looking over | or the catalogue of curious cases upon the records of the Superior Court of this city. We have already exhibited the singular and strange attempts made upon Mr. Templeton, by an attaché of an evening paper of this city. That, however, was but a fifty dollar affair, and could not create such astonish- ment in the public mind as a full develope- ment of the gereral practices of a general-agent, of black mail must excite,avhen fully shown up. {t seems that when Mr. Templeton arrived in this city, he was taken in hand bya well known hair-dresser in Broadway, named V. Clirehugh, who enjoyed a distinguished reputation in his pro- fession of hair-cutting and making washes, and who also was at the same time ambitious of at- taining the reputation of a classic wig-maker, and vocalist ofthe third or fourth magnitude. As regards his professional qualifications as a hair-dresser we have nothing to do; we think them, indeed, of the first order; but yet we prefer the high quality, distinguished genius, and mighty originality in the profession of barber, which are indicated by Jim Grant of Ann street, who has often performed our shaving and hair- cutting in the best of style and with the most clas- sical taste. Jt appears that on the arrival of Mr. Templeton in this city, last year,by some accident or other he got himself into the hands of Mr, Clire- hugh. Whether he was attracted by his profes- sional qualifications as a wig maker, or by the power of mesmerism, we donot know; but at all events, Clirehugh took upon himself the manage- ment of a number of things connected with the debut of Mr. Templeton in this city, This man has now brought an action in’ the Supreipe court against Mr. Templeton, for these pretended servi- ces during his two first concerts; and he charges for these services, in his bill of particulars, the sum of one thousand six hundred and two dollars, and fifty cents! markable and curious facts in the practice of mu- sical criticism and newspaper reporting, such as we never thought could have existed, and'which no man could have thonght to exist until this le- gal document established it beyond the possibility of a doubt. We here present a copy of this singular docu- ment, as the matter now stands before the Supe- | rior court, where it will be called up for trial, pro- bably in a few weeks:— New Yorx Surenior Cor t—Vain Cuimenvon ve.

Now,as regards | 10 | | and concert room—and all this for what? What paper, that the services of Clirehugh, whatever ‘Concerts given by Mr, Téntpleton, and -amount of @s for these se rises itemts of ‘ inary character, will probably greatly astonish evety one connected with the press of this city, with the exception, of course, of aly those who have been confederated with Clire- hugh, or engaged in similar attempts to get money, as in the case of McLachlan, or'the Mirror. | It seems that Clirehugh took great credit to him- self for his services ;~-he presents this bill against Mr. Templeton for extraordinary performances, iz: journeyings, articles, biographies and notices, | whic: he imduced the editors ofthis city todnsert in their journals. “Thése editors, mentioned in this bill, owe it tothemselves, to their characters, as wellasto the reputation of the press and the purity of newspaper criticism, to state what are the facts in this affair, and how far they were made the tools, dupes or participators in the plans of this ambitious hair-dresser. For ourselves, we ean speak for one, and we deny emphatically the ruth of the charges made against Templeton, as faras the Herald is concerned. During the last few years we have often noticed and copied arti- cles relating to Templeton, some of them express- ing the opinion that he intended coming to the Unised States. These articles we inserted gratu- itously as news items, without any knowledge of Clirehugh, and with no reference tosuch a person atall. Another item in this bill of particulars is that of doing the business of negotiating with the vari- ous reporters of the newspapers to write criti- cisms upon Mr. Templeton’s performances. This j$ what is called black mail. Now we, on behalf of the “ Herald,” deny positively and distinctly that Clirehugh ever engaged any reporter for this paper, to write critical notices for Mr. Templeton. We sent our own reporters and musical crit- | jes’ to Mr. Templeton’s concerts, every night, and we paid them regularly every Saturday for their services. None had authority from us to receive a cent from Mr. Templeton, and nothing, was paid to any one in our em- ployment by Templeton or any other per- son. The impudence and arrogance of any One in this community charging a stranger and a vocalist, and claiming money from him, for notices inserted in the New York Herald, is not to be paralleled. We say this of ourselves ; and we think that all the other papers mentioned in this bill of particulars, are equally ignorant of any such pretended business arrangements with their reporters. The only exception we know of, is that of the Evening Mirror, which, it appears, tried to make a levy by McLachlan, enhis own hook, of $50, which, we believe to be the only business arrangement of this kind, But this is not all. Other items in this extraor- { dinary bill make charges against poor Templeton | for introducing him to the principal music sellers and editors of the various papers of New York.— | Clirehugh, we believe, charges for a wig a few | dollars only—for cutting hair he charges two shil- | linge—for a high classical shave—but no better | than Jim Grant’s—he charges one shilling; but for | the important business of introducing-a stranger to the editors of New York, he charges, among | other similar items, altogether, the sum of $1,602 | 50. The idea of charging a man a certain sum of | money for introducing him to another, is a novel | thing in the annals of black mail. We had thought actions te articles, puffs and notices; but, in this the sober fact of introduction, we remem- ber, on one occasion, that Clirehugh ac- companied Templeton when he called at our office; but it is an absolute fact that at that moment we knew more of Mr.Templeton, as @ public man and an artist, than we did of Clire- hugh, the wig-maker, who gave the introduction. We leave it to the other editors of the city news- papers to admit or deny positively the charges made concerning them in this extraordinary bill of particulars, and whether they shared in the | Cost of introduction or not. This is a singular business, and a strange affair. Here is a man professing to have served Mr. | Templeton at two concerts. He claims a reward amounting nearly to two thousand dollars, for va- rious items—for introducing him to editors, for | getting notices written by reporters, for taking the | money for tickets at the door, &c.; and the amount claimed is probably more than the proceeds of the two concerts he superintended! Now, because Mr. Templeton renounced such a preposterous, | Such a ridiculous,attempt upon his business, every species of persecution that could be contrived, has | been putin requisition against him, of the most | disgraceful and contemptible character in many | particulars. No doubt, under the influence of | this confederacy, Mr. Templeton has been pur- sued with venom, and followed South and West, till now they threaten to drive him from the stage | has he done? Because he chooses to manage his own affairs, and conduct his own concerts, and objects to the interference and attempts of those who want to get his money. One thing, however, must follow this singular developement. It is the duty of the New York press, and of all the papers mentioned in this bill, to say if they are part and parcel of an intrigue to levy such an enormous as is set down in this bill. The character of the Press of this city is concerned, and it is its duty to denounce this atrocious impudence, as well as all concerned in it, or to “confess the corn.” It is justly observed by Mr. Templeton, n his card, that these persecutions and attempts upon his name, reputation and labors, pro» coed from a class of his own countrymen. They come from no American, nor from any per- son of any standing or reputation. There is com- fort in this thought. Masor Rinccor.v.—It is with profound regret that we learn the death of this gallantsoldier,from wounds received in the action of the 7th instant, between our troops and the Mexicans. Never was a gun fired over the grave of a better soldier. He commanded a troop of flying artillery, which, for discipline and cournge, is not excelled by any in the world. Indeed, we doubt if there is such ano- ther disciplined troop in any service. We have | seen them under the eommand of their gallant | and ill-fated commander, perform feats of rapid Verte ver, Small Pox, and Famine, Gt Boston, the following distressing intelligence from Bona Vista. } It reached usin letters from persons of the great. est respectability at Bathurst, Gambia, and can be relied upon as being strictly authentic. It is not, perhaps, generally known, that one of the Cape de Verde islands, Bona Vista, bas lately been visited by a dreadful scourge,iinder the form of yellow fever, said to have been introduced by the British war steamer “Eclair,” which vessel ‘was admitted to pratique at Bona Vista in August | last, and afterwards lost a large portion of her offieers and men while lying there. Since that period, it is supposed that upwards of one-eighth of the entire population of the ill-fated. island, has been swept off by this fearful mala- dy, the ravages of which are still devastating that unhappy place. It would appear that Bona Vista, at all times a most barren and wretched epot, has now famine to contend against, in addition to pestilence, and that numbers of the poorer inhabitants are in the last stages of extreme want. It is said that many of the wretched beings who escaped the contagion of the yellow fever, have succumbed to the not less horrid, though more protracted fate,,of death from hunger. About 100 quarters of corn have been given by the inhabitants of the Gambia, for the relief of the starving poor of BonaVista;and it reflects honor on the character-of-the citizens ef the United States, that it is to one of their number. that these unfortunate persons are indebted for the imme- diate means of availing themselve, of tlie assis- tance afforded by the Gambia. The Brigantine ** Pauline,” of Boston, under the command of Captain Richard H. Yarrington, immediately proceeded with the supplies so gene- rously given the Gambia inhabitants, to the Cape de Verde Islands, and there delivered them to the British Commissioner, (W. H. Macauley, Eaq:,) for distribution among the most destitute of the sufferers. When it is borne in mind that Captain Yarrington volunteered to convey, and did convey, in his vessel, Lyin ated the donation of corn to the Cape de Verde Islands, a distance of 600 miles, his benevolence and practical philanthropy cannot be too highly praised. Indeed, it behoves the Portuguese go- vernment to notice the service thus opportunely rendered by Captain Yarrington, to one of its co- lonies in distress, in the marked manner such a disinterested act on his part unquestionably merits. | It is believed that a considerable sum will be subscribed by the residents of Sierra Leone, also, in | aid of the sufferers at Bona Vista; but generous as British colonists have been on the coast of Africa, | they could necessarily not do more than relieve their most pressing and temporary wants. A | more extensive field must be opened to secure | them permanently against the horrors of famine until the gathering in of next year’s crop. An appeal is, therefore, now made to the citi- zens @{ the United States, on the part of the starv- ing inhabitants of Bona Vista. It is earnest: bopes it will be quickly and benevolently respond- to. Merchants connected with the trade | ofthe Cape de Verde Islands, and that of the | Coast of Africa, it is especially trusted, will exert | themselves in behalf of those unfortunate beings, and there can be no doubt ‘some charitably dis- | posed individuals will follow the praiseworth) example of Capt. Yarrington, and promptly vol- unteer to deliver to them the contributions of the benevolent, | In addition to this, we learn that the Pauline | touched at Bravista on the 18th of March, and the | yolow fever_was then still as bad as ever, having | m on the Island five months. From accounts from shore, there had been nearly five hundred | deaths, and all the Bape merchants, or people | that could, had left the Island.

The first will be ready for sea in two days— Lexington, both good vessels, formerly rated, as sloops-of-war, and well adapted for service at this It is understood that orders have been received tolaunch the Albany sloop-of-war, of the largest class, said to be one of the finest models ever con- structed.

It is said that the navy agent has instructions to purchase a number of vessels, now lying in this port, built for war purposes, and which can very speedily be equipped for sea service. From what we can learn, the government will have a fleet of about thirty sail of vessels on our the next two weeks. We are preparing a careful account of the ex- tent and position of our naval forces, which will | sum in black mail, from a stranger and a vocalist, | enable the public to judge of the activity and effi- | Mr. Lathro) ciency which prevails in that department of the government. wee Eprror oF THE Hienstn. ae he serve in your ir restel ‘+, @ notice anew “poajeciing cube,” Eehibited Oy Messrs. and Brothers, which think may be substituted for cannon, and w: be equally effi cient.
