Y — York, ——=— THE HERALD FOR EUROPE. Sur Arrangements for its Publica- tion and Circulation, dc. RK HERALD. <== Montay, June 22, 1846, “¢ intimated to the public, some time since, that we were making arrangements to establish an edition of this journal for the reading people of the old world, to be issued on the departure of every steam ship from New York and Boston. We have been from tiat time until » present engaged in carrying «ut our arrangements, have the pleasure of informing our readers, and the urope and America, that they are now com- Herald for Europe will be twice the size of the Daily Herald, and will be issued at the same price as our weekly sheet. It will contain the latest news from all parts of the Amer neat, up te an hour before the steam and an hour before the mail le 1 stearaship. The yearly sub- Jolars; and we will receive ship leaves this po this city f ecriptio ice will be thre: re have already issued three numbers of the Herald r Burope; and the flattering reception it has met ustifies us in sparing no expense to make it all hat can be desired. The proprietor of this establishment has gone to Sarope, for the purpose of remodelling, on @ moré ex- miedecale, our system of European correspondence New York Herald, and of establishing agencies in he principal cities in the eld world, for the sale of this new sheet. The unprecedented and accumulating amount of patronage that our cfforts to please the read” ing world have received, give us facilities and means to fill the gap in the newspaper husivess, which the pro- gress of steam navigation, and the consequent wants of the people have made. This gap will be filled by the Herald for Europe, in a way that will not detract from our character for energy, industry, and perseverance; and in a way that cannot be approached by any other newspaper establishment. The Herald for Europe, will be for sale at the desk of our office, in New York, neatly and compactly done up ta wrappers, atsix cents a copy, and at our several agencies, in the principal cities, particularly in Boston, The next number will be issued forthe steamer Great Western, which leaves this port next Thursday for Liverpool all The Mexican War—Offers of Peace—English Mediation, and English Opinions. In another portion of to-day’s paper willbe found extracts from English aud Canadian pa- pers, in relation to the Mexican war. The opi- | nions expressed in these extracts, most of them adverse to the United States, tend to ptove that our quarrel with Mexico, and our military opera- tions in that country, have made a greater im- pression on our Enylislt brethren, than they are willing to acknowled; The contempt with which our Canadian neighbors treat our victories onthe Rio Grande, only serve to show the ill- concealed chagrin that those victories have caused them. This disposition to underrate our victories and everything appertaining tous, savors somewhat of too oflicious loyalty to the British throne, on the partof the Canadian press. It looks as if their joyalty were so much suspected that they were obliged to go out of their way to abuse every thing republican, in order to maintain a show of uffection ior monarchy. We verily believe that those Canadian editors will be the first to ask to be annexed to the United States, but we do not | think we can receive them until after severe pur- gation for the many naughty things they have said of us. We may take their case in hand ina year or two. We have now the assurance that England has sent out instructions to her Minister at Wash- ington, to offer her mediation between our go- vernment and that of Mexico. We have also positive rmation that Mr. Bankhead, the British Minister at Mexico, has received in- structions from his government to signify to Paredes the intention of Great Britain not to interfere in quarrel, in the capacity of a parti- zan. It istherefore ly probable that Paredes, uining the impossibility of proseenting the war with the ted States without aid from En- gland,—secing the ill-success that has atrended the effort to cut off General Taylor, and judging from the it of t the fruit 1ess ot prose 1 is now willing tol , peace Ma u tend to establish the pro- babiliy is surm. Mr. Parrott and Doctor Wood have been suffered to penetrate quietly from one end of Mexico to another, notwithstand ing the existence of war. The frigate Mississippi is knowr have been despatched from Vera Cruz to Pensacola, with despatches of the utmost im- portarce for our government, and it is not im- probable that she bore overtures of peace from the Mexican Government. ‘The fact that Paredes i r@ising an army, isnot at all incompatible with the truth of this surmise. His preparations are most likely intended to check the attempts of some other chieftain to get 1 revolution against him, though ostensibly for the purpose of prose cuting (ioc existing war with the United States. What strengthens this surmise is, that Paredes has left Gen. Bravo as president pro tem, in his absence, no doubt with full powers to negotiate a peace. This will relieve Paredes from the awk- wardness that would necessarily attend such a ne- gotiation carried on on his part, he having ridden into power on the popular prejudice against the United States, and because of his expressed de- termination to prosecute the war viyorously. Taking all these circumstances into consideration, itis extremely probable that there is even now a project on foot to bring our Mexican difficulties to an amicable adjustment. We find by the English papers of the last dates, that anabsurd rumor was circulated on * nge, in London, that the intervention of the British go- vernment for the adjustment of the Mexican difti- culty was sought by the United States, It is strange that sucha rumor could have gained cre- dit fora moment. Our country desires no inter- ference of the European governments in the ad- justment of her quarrels. Having entered on the vigorous prosecution of (he war with Mexico, she wants no one to take up her quarrel. Ifthe English Government, desirous of 5 e, for the protection of the interests of her subjects in Mexico, choose *o offer her mediation, so far so well. Our govern- vient will, we are sure, be willing to listen to her ‘nediation, both from the respect due to a friend- iy power, and from the desire of peace, which has always been the policy of the United States since she became @ nation. Farther than this, it is neither our duty, policy, nor inclination to go. We have been forced into this war, and although averse to hostility, it is not with ns that overtures for peace should originate. Should the Engrish gov- ernment offer their mediation on the basis of the cession to the United States, by Mexico, of Upper California, including the magnificent harbor of San Francisco, in liquidation of our demands on that government, and to defray the expenses of the war, our government may close with theixaffer. Short of this, no proposition coming from the British gov- ernment, or from any other, ought to be entertain- ed by ours. We are willing to give the English government credit for the best motives for their intervention ; but it is palpable that in offering their mediation, they are actuated by a regard to the interests of British subjects engaged in commercial business n Mexi®. That this interpretation of their anxiety for the termination of hostilities is not at ui! uncharitable, will app from the address of he Mexican and Sonth American Association, in London, to Lord Aberdeen, Secretary of State for orsign affairs; in which that body presses upon tention, the injury to the interests | of those British subjects engaged in commercial pursuits in Mexico, arising from the war between that country and the United States, and praying the interposition of the government, to heal the rupture between the two countries. This address we give in another column. It is a highly amusing and interesting document, giving, as it does, the private and partieular views aud opinions of the chairman of the associ- ation, Mr. J. D. Powles, on war, ethics, polities, and matters and things in general. Mr. Powles argues in a manner that must have proved very conclusive to the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, that the Mexican war is unjust and reprehensible on the part of the United States, and that it was wantonly provoked by our government. Mr P, also defines the boundaries of Texas ina cute, clear, sweeping, and concise manner, but we doubt whether he will ever be looked upon as a standard geographical fauthority. The docu- ment proves how ridiculous a very worthy man may make himself, by meddling with matters above his comprehension. We are by no means averse to an amicable ad- justment of our quarrel with Mexico. On the contrary, we think that to cement an honorable friendship, would be highly advantageous to bath nations. But we must have indemnity for the in- juries our citizens have sustained ; and as Mexi- can credit is rather 2 slippery commodity, we must have California as security, both for the losses our citizens have formerly sustained, and for the expenses of the present unprovoked war. But should Mexico fvolishly continue her determi. nation to prosecute the war, then we will neither ask nor suffer any interposition on the part of other powers. “Old Rough and Ready” will be our mediator—our negotiator—and to him only ought the United States to delegate the powers of a plenipotentiary, to adjust our difficulties with Mexieo. reg The Events of the Age—Whe Influence of America on the Worid. The conduct recently displayed by the two most powerful governments in the world, in the adjust- ing, ina sensible and honorable way, a question of territory that has been in dispute for a number of years, is in the highest degree creditable to both. It exhibits, in a forcible manner, the height of enlightenment and refinement which both na- tions have attained, and the happy influences of the progress of civilization, under the free in- stitutions of the two countries. We need not re- | mind our readers that differences, of infinitely less importance than that which has-for so long a time estranged the British and American people, have in other times drenched the world,and made | rivers of blood flow in torrents. In the last cen” tury, @ question like this would have incited a universal war in Europe, that would have sacri- ficed thousands of lives, converted tertile fields into wastes, and entailed misery and demoraliza- tion on after generations. We have evidence enough to prove that within a comparatively short period, the world has, as it | were, taken a leap—a jump from a conditien of | almost semi-barbarism, and is now making great strides in a career towards an undefinable goal—a goal, the brilliancy and splendor that surrounds which prevents it from being but dimly seen, and which but few can even partially penetrate. To conduct the nations ofthe world in this career—to pilot the several vessels of State, so that the shoals and quicksands may be avoided, and the destined port attained, is the duty of the present and future rulers of all governments, monarchical and re- publican. It is an enviable task—a task which,car- | ried out in wisdom, will enbalm the names of those who have it in hand, in the hearts of the in- numerable millions who are destined to enjoy its Sruits. The principal nations of the world, France, England, and the United States, would seem to be chosen as the instruments of Previdence in ushering in the new era, and as promoting its But the United States, on account of its geographical position, its extraordinary and unprecedented career, and its prospective unpa- ralleled greatness, has been, and will continue to be, the leader. The develop®ments that have hitherto been made in the United States, at first startled and amazed the others; but they have nevertheless gradually, but surely, followed the track, that we have marked out. It will be the same in future, The United States will be the pioneer; and the others will follow wp and lay the foundation in the old world, for the changes that shall be made in the new. As an instance of the first proposition, we see the gradual mutations that are taking place in the government and po- licy of England. The blessings that flowed from our free toleration of religion, opened the eyes of the politicians of Europe, and paved the way for Catholic emancipation—the abolishment of im- prisonment for debt was immediately followed in England; and the caption, word for word, of the act passed for that purpose by the Legislature of the State of New York, precedes an enactment of the same kind passed by the British Parlia- ment. This was nota coincidence, it is 2 proof of the influence exerted by the United States on the statesmen and politicians of that country + Other instances might be adduced, but the United States is yet in its infancy, ‘and for the short time it has been in existence, these are enough to prove what we assert. From Great Britain the other nations of Europe will what that country gets from us. The perience of the past proves the second pro- ion. But the glory of participating in bringing about the new era that has just dawn- ed upon the world, will be sufficiently great, to allow each a share. Those who practically apply @ great principle, and make it conduce to the prosperity and advancement of those for whose benefit it was discovered, deserve nearly as much credit as the inventor, As an evidence of the desire of this new age, we may cite a few instances within the recollec- tion of almost the youngest of the present gene- ration. Among the foremost of these, is the de- sireapparent among the great powers, to avoid embroiling the world in war. A few years since, Great Britain and France, France and the United States, and very recently, the United States and Great Britain, were on the point of resorting to physical force to settle difficulties, which were amicably settled in the end. Reason, prudence, and a desire to further civilization, were the wea- pons used, and not the sword and the cannon, the only arguments of barbarous ages. We may also instance the progress of free trade principles, which when fully developed, will merge the world into ene great family, with « unity of interest, and with a mutual dependence on each other, A war between petty States will, when those principles are fully developed and in action, injure the largest States, more or less, and this will instigate the large States to oppose any such alternative for the settlement of any cause. The fact is, reason is about to exercise her high prerogative over the destinies of the werld. She is about to occupy the throne that has been filled by barbarous prejudice, and when her sway shall be exercised in the world, the millenhium of the prophet will be realized.

Tue Evrorean Intervention 1n Sovrn AMERI- can Arrairs.—By the arrival of the bark Chancel- | lor, we yesterday received intelligence from Mon- | tevideo to the 9th ult., and from Buenos Ayres to the 2d. The English and French blockading squadrons | maintained their position, but an incident hap- pened that may possibly destroy the good under- standing that has hitherto existed between the two squadrons, and perhaps lead their respective governments into trouble. It appears that an English brig was seized for evading the blockade, and taken before the British Admiral, who order- | ed her to be released. This violation of good faith on the part of the British Admiral, annoyed the French Admiral so much that he despatched | avessel of war after the brig, recaptured her, took her into Montevideo, where she was ad- judicated, condemned, and with her cargo sold as a prize. The ill feeling that an occurrence lke this would naturally create between the two Ad- mirals, may end very seriously. It appears that Rosas still holds out, and main- tains his former attitude ofdefiance; while the ex- pense that the governments of France and England have been put to in endeavoring to open commercial communication with the country bordering onjthe Parana appears to be thrown away. The vessels that attempted to open this communication have returned, after an absence of eight months, without success. It is probable that the idea will be abandoned. We would not be surprised to hear, under these | circumstances, that the mediation offered by the | American government, through its Charge de Af- faires, in that part of the world, will be accepted, | and the intervention war soon ended. This medi- | icCor- of rank; but now that there appears no prospect of gaining either honor or profit by prolonging | the blockade, it may be accepted, if again press- ed by our Chargegeand even desired. It ill becomes England, at all events, to proffer | her mediation between Mexico and the United | States, after she has declined the offices of the | United States in amicably settling the war in | South America. Srrance Business.—The brig Josephino, Capt. Barlow, which cleared on Saturday for Maran- | ham, was seized by the Collector of this Port, he | having received information that something was | wrong on board of the vessel After the J. sailed | the Collector sent one of his boats in chase of her, | vhich overtook her at Quarantine, and upon ex: ining her cargo, found 400 kegs of powder | which were not entered upon her manifest. The captain stated that his reason for not entering the powder on the manifest was that he was afraid he should he boarded by some of our vessels of war, or some Mexican cruisers, who upon finding the same registered on the brig’s manifest would take | it. The brig is detained at Quarantine for the | present, under charge of the bonrding officers at | that station. } Accuracy OF THE ‘Sometime in Au- | gust last, at the time General Gaines first muster- | ed troops for the purpose of reinforcing General | Taylor, we stated that Col. Bogy of St. Louis, had offered his services tothe War department, to lead an expedition to Santa Fé, and that his offer was accepted. The statement was ridiculed at the time by the St. Louis papers, and flatly contra- dicted. We however knew it to be a fact, as we had it from the best authority; and it now turns out chat Col. Bogy has been selected by Colonel Kearney as one of his staftin the expedition now planned for a descent on Santa Fé.

The ac- | counts of the engagements of the 8th and 9th, are | | taken from Mexican journals, in which the “ va- | liant army of the North” is represented as merely | | “having retired, after a glorious contest, before | an enemy superior in numbers and in artillery.” | | The evacuation of Matamoras is accounted for by a regard for the ‘ morals of the army.” } | The yellow fever is yet continuing its ravages | among the population at Puerto Pri cipe.

Batus ix New Yorax—A Prorosition.—The utility of frequent bathing, is now acknowledged by every body who has either any knowledge of physiology, or has had ‘any practical experience in the matter. Almost every one has heard the story of the French physician, who vi- sited one of the cities of the East, with tablishing himself in his profession there. Upon en- og city, he saw a fine large building, with bi and coming from it. He asked of one “ ing?” “A bath,” was the reply. Going on still farther he saw another. ‘What is this? again he asked. “A bath,” was the reply again. He continued his course through the city, and in reply to his constant inquiry, in erie many of the bi igs, the answer was still the same. “A bath, a bath.” “Ah,” said he “This is no place for me,” and immediately left to locate himself somewhere else, where baths were not so plenty as to prevent people from being sick. There has been much said of regard to free baths in New York, for the benefit of the and all the adv of them have deen again in pointed out. The healthful feeling that they would dition of body in which they would keep him, and the sickness they would prevent, have often been spoken of. Every body Se the truth of all this; but the reason the propositions have not as yet been acted upon lies we think in the fact, that the proper source for carry- ing them out, has not yet been addressed. City incorpo- rations gaged in laudable work of dividing the spoils of office, have neither time nor money to expend, health and wi of those who them wer. And moreover, if the corporation ild baths, the cost of their erection would of course come directly from the people. The better way then, is to have the enterprise commenced with the peo- le, and at once open a bh igh ooo list, upon which sums fom one dollar upwards should be received. to be placed in the hands of a committee of responsible men, to be gre when a sufficient sum should bi raised for this purpose. thy men should move in this matter, and car- ry out the idea, a monument would be reered to their memories that would endear them to the hearts of yy greecerd make them more ing than would statutes of bronze or gilded mausoleum: ‘here for’ baths for the people than New York.

Let one or more large baths be con- structed to be placed at the service ofthe city, making the price of a bath merely nominal, just sufficient to pay the expenses of the establishments, and we should soon find much of the sickness among the poor prevented, and should feel a comparative security against any epidemics or contagious diseases. It only requires some influential mento move in this matter to give it an impetus which ould not cease till the desired object was attained.— Who will commence it, and give New York the honor of the establishment of the first free bath in the country 7 Common Councii.—The Board of Aldermen meet this evening at 5 o'clock, and we trust that sume member of the Board will introduce « resolution to provide against injtirious effects that must result from the abuses connected with the slaughter houses in the varigus streets ofthe city. ‘There are inany other dangerous nuisances that reauiss the immediate attention oi the authorities, an‘ we sincerely trust they will be removed.

M. ‘There has been, during the past week, rather a quiet time in the stock market, compared with the week or two previous; and we can only attribute it to the depres- sion caused by severa] very extensive failures in the pro- duce business, and the effect of these suspensions upon | the money market and upon public confidence. ‘The em- | barrassments of those who have beeome deeply involved | in the flour and produce speculations, must be of a very | alarming character; and we are under the impression that many more explosions among that class, must | before the season is over, take place. Speculators in flour in all sections of the country must have experienced | within the past six months, immense losses; and we can arrive at some idea of the extent, by referring to the for. mer credit and wealth of those houses which have since become insolvent. Many of these speculators pur- | chased flour largely when prices ranged from six to | seven dollars per barrel; and shipments to ¢n immense | extent were made from this port to Liverpool at those | Fates, and the sacrifices must have been enormous, ‘We have fears that the suspension of these houses, will affect the strength of the western banks, particu” | larly those situated in the flour manufacturing districts | of this State, as they are usually engeged in discounting ' the paper of those engaged in thet trade, and the millers of those sections must be very heavy sufferers by these bankruptcys. ‘Tho banks of this city must have been large holders of this suspended paper, as the liabilities of the recent failures cannot be in the aggregate much less than two and a half millions of dollars; and there is little doubt but that their losses in these instancesiwill make them moro aucticus, which must operate unfavorably for that por tion of the commercial classes depending upon bank fa" cilities to meet their liabilities, and in this way must tend toa restriction of the money market. This to acertain extent, and for a certain time, will doubtless be expe- rienced ; but the repid depreciation in the price of pro” duce generajly, and of flour particularly, and the absence of every possibility of an advance, must bring those ‘who are now embarrassed from that cause very soon to & suspension, and the difficulties will be’ speedily re moved. It must require an immense capital to stand against a depreciation of nearly fifty per cent inthe price of flour, an article in which individual operations are very extensive. It is anticipated that the agricultural classes, and those engaged in the produce business, must during the next season be in a very depressed condition: and tha! the em- Varrassments of the producing classes will have a teu- dency to depress business generally, and that there will be very little done during the next six months. The basis of these anticipations, is the present reluced price of produce, and the probability of an abundant harvest causing a still greater reduction. We do not apprehend any difficulty from this cause~an abundance of the necessary articles of food never can produce distres, among any class; if the producers obtain.a reduced price for their products, the additional quantity makes up for th deficiency in price; while on the other hand the con_ suming class, which even in this country is avery large one, is much benefitted by the low price of.yro- visions. They are able toconsume more of the other ne cessaries of life, and in this way make up for any anny ciency the producing classes may have been the cause of; the average is thus maintained, and the commercia! classes do not feel any bad effect of the embarrassments any one class may be laboring under. It is perhaps going too far to anticipate any embarrassment among the producing classes from an over supply % agricultural products, anda reduction in prices. Wha. is lost in price is made up in quantity; and in many in stances where the producers are able to hold for an ad vance, the surplus production is more favorable than oth ' erwise. Those disposed to look upon the black side o things, and whose interest lays in depressing public com fidenve, may make great efforts to get up a panic’; bu we are not yet disposed to look upon an abundance of the necessaries and luxuries of life as an evil, and can- | not but consider them blessings, tending to ameliorate the condition and increase the prosperity of all clasves- We annex a comparative table exhibiting the quo‘e. tions for the principal speculative stocks in this market for each day of the past week, and at the close of the week previous. Prices have not varied much in the past few days, but the market has been very unsettled, and quotations rather feverish. The sales have been large and large quantities of stock have been foreed upon the market.
