NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Tuesday, June 2, 1846. News from Europe. The steam ship Hibernia is now due at Boston. She left Liverpool on the 19th ult.,‘and will, there- tore, bring ten days later intelligence. It is thought that the news will be y esting. Kuropean Interference in the Mexican War. From the day when Mr. Polk delivered his celebrated inaugural message, declaring, among other things, the perfect right of the several na- tions composing the continent of America, to manage their own affairs—irrespective of the | wishes or interference of any of the European | Mors or tur Trmpieton Wan.—We have not done yet. We notice that our pious, moral, peace- | loving neighbor of the Tribune, who has the hu- manity to advocate the cause of the black-mail- levying, throat-cutting, plundering rancheros of | Mexieo, and calls the necessary defence of our | borders against the inroads of Mexiean banditti | an unholy violation of our peaceful relations, has | joined in the petty crusade against the vecalist, | Templeton. This Fourierite nest of philosophers, | who elevate their hands and turn up their eyes in | holy horror at the deserved punishment inflicted ona band of Mexican marauders, think it no | harm to join in a malignant hue-and-cry against a poor travelling vocalist, and not only strive to injure his professional reputation, but actually as- | sist at the production of a foul and slanderous powers, and particularly irrespective of the de- | defamation of his private character, which iscal- sign that has been manifested by those powers to | establish what they style a “balance of power” on this continent, similar to that which has, for alongtime, been established in the old world, | until the present time—the subject of foreign interference has, more or less occupied the atten- tion of the press, and the people of the United States. | More attention has been devoted to this subject since the breaking out of hostilities with Mexico, than atany previous time, and many surmises and | opinions are broached and given, as to the course | the two principal powers of Europe, France and | England, and the two principal enes, too, in laying down the principle of an American balance of power, will adopt in the present condition of af fairs. The moment the accounts of the recent brilliant victories by the American arms on the | banksof the Rio Grande reach those countries, | the sagacious and far seeing ministers of each will | see, atonce, the complete frustration of their hopes | of procrastinating a settlement of the difficulties | that have for so long existed between the United States and Mexico, and in prospective, the anni- hilation ef their desires of establishing a monarchy ia the lattercountry. Under those circumstances the course that those countries will probably pur- sue, in the present crisis, is a matter fraught with deep and abiding interest to the philanthropist, the patriot and republican throughout the world. ‘To the American people peculiarly the question is momentous, for they are the instrument in the hands of a superior power, to carry out practically the will of that power, which is, that mankind are | free and equal, and capable of self-government. Let this principle be carried out to perfection, as | it has been partially, and the monarchies, the des- | potisms and the tyrany of Europe must fall as snow before a summer's sun. Although the commercial relations at present existing between the United States and England and France, woutd seem to divest the interference of those countries in any American question of all probability or even possibility, it must be re- membered that the day the Declaration of Inde- pendence was promulgated, that day was marked as the commencement of the decline and eventual fall of all governments that were not based on the voice of the majority—in other words, if the grand experiment which was that day, for the first time in modern ages, broached, should succeed, it was the death knell to monarchy and despotism, in whatever habiliments it might be concealed. The suecess of that experiment sealed the fate of all governments, other than those founded on the principles proclaimed in that declaration of free- men. The governments of Europe know this. In view, then, of the recent transactions on the Rio Grande, the question is, will the governments of either France or England, either by diplomacy | or force, attempt any interference in our present quarrel with Mexico? Will they hazard the loss of the advantages they acquire from the commer- cial relations that exist between them and the | United States, for the purpose of carrying out the | doctripe of establishing a balance of power in | America ?—or will they interfere and apply force, | if necessary, to carry out the same principle, in- | stigated by the instinct of self preservation, which | actuates governments as it does individuals, for | the purpose of either permanently arresting the | growth of the United States and the progress of | free’ government, or accelerating that crisis | between the governments of the old world | and those of the new, which sooner or | later will, and in the nature of things, must ensue %—that grand conflict which on one side will witness arrayed, the prejudices, bigotry, in- | tolerance, narrow mindedness, exclusiveness, vassalage, and bigotry of monarchial govern- | ment; and on the other, the liberty, expan- sion, progression, improvement, freedom and liberality in the broadest sense of the term of democratic institutions ?that grand conflict | of mental and physical strength, wifich will either nip freedom in the bud, and the din and | turmoil of which will be the requiem of free go- | vernment, or which will bind still closer the fet- | ters that encircle the limbs of the human family | on the old continent, and make the many submit | to the favored few. We have been informed from an authentic | source, that anticipated action has been had be- tween the powers of England and France on this | question, and it is reported trom the same authen- | tie sources, that as soon as the recent victories on the Rio Grande are recorded in the newspapers | of France and England, the combined action | jointly agreed upon, and te be resorted to in case | events might turn out as they have, will be imme- | diately called into play, and that immediately we may look for the arrival of a British and French fleet in the Gulf of Mexico, to be called the fleet | of observation, the destiny and duty of which wil be similar to that of the fleet in South America, to hover round, observe and mark the course of | events; and in the event of an opening being made, to interfere in the hostilities between | Mexico and the United States, and if force is re- | quired to stop the tide of invasion that has been determined by our Government should run into Mexico, and on the plea of establishing a balance of power, make a tool of Mexico to carry out their ultimate designs. This information we have re. ceived from an authentic source. What, then, is the duty of the United States under those circumstances? Her duty is plain enough. Let the 50,000 men authorised by Congress be brought into the field at the earliest moment pos- sible—let the campaign be carried on with the utmost vigor—let all our purposes be carried out, | if possible—let the fleets be enlarged and increased —but if any interference like that be offered, | Jet it be met as becomes us—let the crisisfbe met, if it is forced upon us—let the world see that the people of the United States are grateful for the blessings showered upon them—if need be, let the | enemies of free government be met at the threshold, and let the result be in the hands of an all-wise and benificent Providence, who, for seventy years, has guarded and protected the in- terests of the United States. We need not fear what that result will be. We can in six months have an army of 100,000 men in the field, each man as good as the heroes of Palo Alto and Re- saca dela Palma~and a fleet of fifty vessels of war, manned by 25,000 tars, as brave as the breeze of the Atlantic ever blew upon. The war of the French Revolution, in favor of liberty against despotism, may be re-opened on this continent. Prepare for the worst. Arrival or THe Havre.—This beautiful pack- et, under command of Capt. Ainsworth, has just completed another splendid voyage. She arrived here yesterday, from Havre, in the exceedingly short passage of twenty-four days, and but nine- teen from the Lizard. This is following close upon the heels of the Great Britain. Sreamsuir Great Westeny.—This vessel, eight days out, from this port for Liverpool, was culated to carry dissension and strife into the bo- som ofhis family. That our readers may judge of the consistency of our pious contemporary, we will give, at length, an advertisement that ap- peared in the columns of the Tribune of yester- Trarteton.—To be published in a few days, 12} cents, the private biography of John Templeton, Vocalist, showing his early plety when connected with the Kirk of Scotland, his trayels through the provinces of England, his amours with Mrs. Cole, his funny court- ship, marriage, &c. &c. Will be sold by all booksellers. It will be seen by this extract from the immacu- late columns of the Tribune, that the pious man, for the sake ofa paltry dollar and a half perhaps, has descended to the meanness of publishing a vile and slanderous advertisement of a still more vile and slanderous work, which is calculated, however despicable the source from which it emanates, to disturb Mr. Templeton’s domestic peace, and to wound in the tenderest point the feelings of his wife and family. What next? The pious defender of the British enormities in the war of the Punjaub, who has still such a holy hor- ror of American wars, that hd strove to quench the | patriotism of our citizens, and to paralyze the arm of the government in making necessary pre- parations for the defence of our territory, now stoops to the disreputable office of assisting, as head nurse, at the parturition of a brood of vile slanders, intended to crush a meritorious artist, whose only.crime is that he refused to be plun- dered by a set of harpies who besieged him with their black-mail demands as soon as he arrived in this country. Now, it is said that we have ealled this man, Clirehugh, a hair-dresser. True, in our exposé of his attempts at levying black-mail, proved by the declaration drawn by his attorney, a docu- | ment—the genuineness of which it 1s impossible for him to deny—we have spoken of him as a hair-dresser, and we are not aware that he pro- fesses to be anything else. In fact, we bleieve that he claims to be one of the first hair-dressers and barbers in the city, although we do not think him by any means as good as our friend Jim Grant, of Ann street, who has performed all our tonsorical operations for a number of years in the most artistic and masterly manner. We certainly see no reason why Mr. Vair Clirehugh should be ashamed of his calling—and it is not our fault if he feels aggrieved by being called a hair-dresser. We are apt to call things by their right names— a lawyer, a lawyer ; a boot-maker, a boot-maker ; and a barber, a barber ; a scoundrel, a scoundrel, &c. Nor do we see any reason why he should be ashamed of being ealled a Scotchman. We always believed that he was a native of Scotland, (for which we feel extremely sorry,) and therefore we spoke of him asa Scotchman. If he assume to be anything else, we shall most gladly make the necessary correction. It will afford us the greatest pleasure imaginable. It will be seen by the advertisement which we have copied from the pages of our pious contempo- rary, that the enemies of Mr. Templeton, having failed in injuring his professional reputation as a vocalist, have dragged from the foul sinks of slan. der and defamation, libellous charges of the gros- sest nature against his private character. This attempt is characteristic of the shameless and im- pudent parties who made an attempt to make wholesale levies of black-mail on this poor vocal- ist, and who now vent their malice and disap- pointment at the failure of their mercenary at- tempts in scandalous misrepresentation. We should be sorry to ascribe to the gentlemanly proprietor of the Tribune any part in the appear- ance of this disreputable advertisement, or the equally mean editorial remarks. Mr. McElrath is a member of the church, and a gentleman, and we believe him to be incapable of sanctioning such a transaction. Of poor Mr. Greeley we really know not what to think. There is a crack in his head somewhere, and, from present appearances, we fear that this crack is becoming wider and wider every day. We do not know where it will end. His friends should look to him. Patriotism anp War.—In this city, three signal offers have been made to the President, of aid in the war against Mexico—Captain Rynders, of the Empires; Gen. Arlington Bennet, of the Mormons ; and Gen. George Washington Dixon, of the Eternals and Intellectuals. These offers have, probably, been referred to the Governor of New York, who may call them forth. Gen. | Dixon is preparing to go to Yucatan, to invade Mexico from the south, with a troop of two hun- dred, as we find by the following reply to Miss Julia Dean, of the Bowery, who presented the troop with a stand of colors, and made a speech : Lapr :— We accept with gratitude and it being the gift of the fair, enhances its value, and never shall be stained by inhw + Proud emblem of lib- erty—long may the stars light a nation on to glory, long may the proud bird of our country soar in the air of free: dom. La nd gentlemen, the expedition we are about to not fenevally understood. We are destined for Yucatan. Alreadyfthe spirit of freedom is kindled in their breasts, and one breath would blow it into flames. They have felt the despots foot upon their necks, and they writhe and groan to be free ; they have been cradled in blood and ignorance from infancy; the march of intellect has never reached them; their grounds are uncultivated; their energies are crushed, by their ambitious chieftains, who would rifice ahecatomb of souls to serve their own aggrandizement. When Mexi- co threw off the fetters of Old Spain, who took her by the hand? Who pressed a sister republic to her bosom ?— America. Songs and rejoi a were heard in our cities, for a new republic graced the continent; but she has fallen. Liberty was in embryo, when the Pilgrim Fa- thers sat incouncil on Plymouth Rock; it burned with a pure and holy fire. Our dead fathers tried the great experiment ; they saw as one man, battled, and won, and Ithank my God no crowned head sways in this free land the tyrant’s sceptre. Look at our country, how vast, how ‘mighty, how stupendous ; she is the wonder of the universe. What made her so mighty ?—Liberty, that expands the mind, gives energy to thought, nerves the soul, and leads man to fulfil the — design of God himself. All despots are envious of republics ; but I trust the day will yetcome, when the world will become one vast temple of republicanism ; then a man will not be measured by the length of his purse, but the highest fo will have the highest honor. Two hundred bold earts, have embarked in this enterprise, resolved to dif ith our lives it, and 7 | fuse through the medium of gazetts, which we shall pub- lish in their own tongue, the blessings of freedom, and the way te obtain it. Spanish, French and Italian, will accompany us in the expedition, and every preparation has been made to re with the sanction of Heaven, our journey prosperous. ‘It is no pecuniary speculation.

Tue Exection Yesterpay.—The election for delegates to the City Convention and School Com- missioners, held yesterday in this city, passed off so quietly, that the fact of its being election day | je, was hardly perceptible. There seemed to be no excitement whatever. At some of the polls there were no ticket distributors, the tickets being laid ina segar box, and the public allowed to help themselves. The vote cast is only about one fourth that at the charter election, and the demo- cratic ticket is elected, without doubt, in all, ex- cepting the 3rd and 15th wards. The convention for alterting the city charter meet on the first Monday in July. Court for the Correction of Errors. Present the Lieut. Governor and 20 Senators. June 1—H. McKeon ar nd Whitney—Mr. E.

The object of the callfor the meeting was, toraise a suflicient number of volunteers to fill the ranks of the “Hickory Blues,” under the com- mand of Alexander Ming, jr., Esq., to proceed to the Rio Grande, vindicate the honor of the United States, and strike terror into the hearts of the ran- cheros of Mexico. Ateight o’clock we found the large room in the above building filled to its utmost capacity, by a very enthusiastic assemblage, who appeared to be animated by one spirit, one heart and one object. After Mr. Ming had delivered a brief and spirit stirring address, the roll was w |, and the names of the volunteers were subseribed with reat rapidity’ As is usual in such there was some fesitation at first about signing the roll, but the ice once broken, the stream ran, overwhelming everything in its course. In this instance the ice was broken by an eccen- tric character named Teal, who had the honor of being the first man enrolled in the ranks of the “ Hickory Blues” of New York. i After Mr. Teal subscribed his name, an immense crowd assembled around the latform. He addressed those sent in pretty muc! following style. Come, Col. Ming, | have stuck down my name, but mind you, | am joing: to fight, and J expect you to go too! “Willyou Rent If you’ are willing to fight, stick down your name as well as others. Come “ whitebats,” down with ‘our names, Letus go to Mexico, and thrash the Dons. f you're killed, I’ll take care of your clothes, and fetch them home to your mothers. Come, down with your names. Come along and do something for your country. Come, you can fight as well asothers. Come, you'll make good soldiers. 1’ll go by them all, and so must you. Come, Col. Ming, will you fight? Well, (said Col. Ming) we'll see wl et there. After several had subscribed their names, Col. Ming addressed the meeti: folloy form you that we are weuld ith of this month 'to fill the ranks of - and I have no doubt that before that time the number necessary will be enrolled, and more, too, will be willing to be enrolled, ifnecessary. We, of the great city of New York direct public sentiment in evel ‘0 New York the country looks for an ex- position of that sentiment in politics, morals and every- thing else. We have listened time and to the speeches of our orators of all political parties. We have heard them declare time and again how ready they were to act; and, if need shed their blood in defence of our country; and we have now arrived at the time when it ii necessary to ast as well as to speak—to back what we have so often reiterated—a time when it is necessary for every man who claims to be an American, to stand wf and defend those glorious pinciples which are guarantee: tous by our constitution, Mr. Ming continued in this strain longer, but our s) will not allow us to insert the whole of ech. The following song, composed for Kor accu y one of his company, was then distri- uted:— . Tuxn—Lucy Neal.

Watering Places, ScHoo.ry’s Mountain.—The frequenters of this favo- rite summer resort will be gratified to learn that the most extensive and complete preparations have been made for their entertainment by the worthy proprietor of Belmont Hall, E. A. Hinchman, Esq. He has added a new bowl. ing saloon to the establishment, and made various other arrangements conducive to the comfort and convenience of his guests. We have no doubt that Schooley’s Moun. tain Springs will be much resorted to this summer, as there are very few places affording healthier air or exer cise, or a more delightful sojourn, during the warm weather.

POSTSCRIPT. TUESDAY MORNING, FOUR O'CLOCK. FROM ALBANY. We are indebted to Mr. S. Brown, mail agent, for Albany papers of yesterday afternoon, con- taining the opening proceedings of the State Con- stitutional Convention, which commenced its session, in Albany, yesterday at noon. We copy from the Argus, as follows :— The Constitutional Convention. This body assembled to-day, in the Assembly Chamber. é ‘At 12 o’clock, M., the Convention was called to order, and the delegates sworn in, by the Hon. N. 8. Benton, Secretary of State. On motion of Mr. Horrman, the Hon. Cuar.es H. Ruaeres, of Dutchess, was appointed tempo- rary President of the Convention. he Convention then proceeded to ballot for a President, with the following result :— City _ Wasrt_or Puatic Moxsr—For some time plaints have been repeatedly made to us in to the manner in which public money has been, and contin- ues to be, squandered away in almost every department of the city government, During the pest winter, it was by no meang an unusual sight to see a number of labor ers at work shovelling snow from the side-walks around the Tombs, orcarrying ina few loads of coal, intended to be used in the culinary department, or offices connect- ed with the City Prison; (each receiving a fair remune- ration for their services,) while, perbaps, from thirty to forty able bodied loafers were allowed to remain idle, or even amuse themselves in any way they saw fit, within the walls of that building. It has been intimated, that, under the present adminis- tration of the city government, the tex payers’ dollars have found another outlet in another quarter ; and this the alms-house department. From the information im- rarted to us, we have reason to believe that there is less attention paid to economy in the disbursement of public John Tracy, . 69 money in this department, than we have a right to ex- | Alveh Worden . pect.

These, and many other abuses of a similar character, are known to exist, and require the consideration of the powersthat be It is to be hoped that the subject will receive due attention, and render any further remarks unnecessary. Doctor Apams’ Discournse.—A discourse, onthe sub- ject of the “ New World, its History, and Prospective Relations to the Old,” was delivered on Sunday evening in the Central Presbyterian Church, Broome street, by the Rev. Dr. Adams. The audience (as is usual when the reverend gentleman preaches) was both numerous and res) table, and the most marked attention was paid du: ng the delivery of the discourse. It has been well remarked by an eminent author, that ‘next to a just idea of the nature and object of pulpit eloquence, the point of reatest importance toa preacher is a proper choice of fhe subject on which he preaches.” On all occasions, Dr. Adams carries this excellent maxim out to the very letter. In our opinion, a happier selection, and one more appropriate or better suited to the times in which we live —to the great events which are now developing them- selves in the old and new world, both as regards religion and politics, and the yee ed are likely to juce, either for or evil, on the future destiny of the human id not well be made. This attention to the of the Conventien. On motion of Mr. Bovcx, the usual provision was made for opening the daily meetings with rayer. bs A motion by Mr. Tien to supply delegates a the usual newspapers, was laid on the table. The residue of the session was spent in draw- ing for seats. And the Convention adjourned un- til 11 o’clock to-morrow morning. The officers elected by the Convention were the nonlinees of the democratic caucus. The whigs made no nominations—having resolved not to act politically in the Convention. ‘Theatrical and Musical. nx Turatny.—The greatest of Shakspeare’s trage- ‘Richard II,” was reproduced last night at the Park before a very crowded and fashionable house. Mr. Charles Kean’s personation of the hump-backed tyrant has been so often criticised, that it would be superfluous for us to dilate either on its beauties or its faults; all the world knows that the mantle of the elder Kean has de- scended upon the younger, and that it is nobly worn. No one could complain of awant of passion in Mr. Kean’s Richard last night.

The report ex- hibits the extraordinary anomaly of thirteen fires du: one night from eleven o’clock of the 2d of May, to hall- past seven the morning of the 3d. Ten of these were stables, anda number of horses were burnt. What the cause of these fires could be, we cannot imagine, al- though it is evident that they must have been set on fire, though with ine object is inconceivable.
