In another colurmn will be found some highly z intel > from Mexico, which was ved at Ne ans on the 15th inst. appears that al Arista, at the head of an army of fifteen thousand men, had established his head quarters at Monterey, and had sent pro- posuls of an armistice to Gen. Taylor, te which Gen. Taylor laconically replied that he would meet him at Monterey. It also appears that the Mexican General Ca- nales, and w force of fifteen hundred men, were concentrating at Rionosa, to which place an Avnerican force of eight hundred men, under Col. Wilson, were proceeding. The next news from the army will, there- fore, be of considerable interest, and per- haps of an exeiting nature. Indeed, the intelli- gence from the war-quarter will again be of more and more importance by every arrival. The next accounts may cortain the particulars of a battle between Col. Wilson’s command and the foce under Canales at Rionosa. The continua- ton or termination ofthe war will undoubtedly on the result of these battles, and perhaps the one'that may be fought at Monteroy, between “Old Rough and Ready” and Arista. If the Mexicans be defeated, they will probably evertake the field again, in any shape; and as hardly can be supposed, the Americans be depend defeated, it will inspire Arista with hope and | courage, and, with Paredes, continue the war. We may confidently look out for the anost ex- the victories of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma, by the 4th of July next. Meanwhile we mnst watch the progress of the new Republic of Rio Grande. The Position of the Whig Party—Tho Five Candidates for the Next Presidential Race. The great whig party is at present split up into “tive cliques, or sections, each of which is election- eering, intriguing, and canvassing, with might and main, to secure the success of its candidate in 1848. Let us see how they stand. Among the first is Henry Clay, who has hereto- fore been the favorite of the largest portion of the whigs. They have continued to cling to this elo- quent old man with a love that has outlived all his defeats and reverses. They believed that Mr. Clay is still, even in his old age, better adapted to rule the destinies of the country, than any other man they could select, and they could scarcely consent to give up their favorite. But we under- stand that the Clay section of the whig party has about determined on a new move, which is, if they find Mr. Clay unavailable, to take up Mr. Crittenden in his stead, and ran him on his own merits and under the auspices of Mr: Clay. Their design is to nominate Mr. Clay, and then | toinduce him to resign in favor of Mr. Critten- | den, whom they think they can succeed in elect- ing, relying partly on that gentleman’s well known popularity amd talent, and partly on the | favor and friendship of Mr. Clay exerted in his behalf. Another section of the party is in favor of the Hon. John McLean, one of the Judges of the Supreme Court, as President, and the Hon. Wil- | lie P. Mangum, of North Carolina, as Vice Pre- sident. General Scott is the candidate of another sec- tion of the party. Butthe most enthusiastic portion of the whig party is in favor of taking up old “ Koughand Ready,” and there is scarcely a doubt that this portion will run in r candidate with scarcely any opposition, provided he allows himself to be put in nomination. We doubt if Mr. Clay will suffer himself to be again brought forward asa candidate for the Pre- sidency. Ii he do, it will be but for the purpose of resigning in favor of his friend, Mr. Crittenden.— This is now, as we have before intimated, the policy of those whigs who have hitherto support- ed Mr. Clay. We have lately received informa- tion from an authentic source in Washington, that this line of action has lately been agreed upon in secret caucus, by the heads of the Clay section of | the whig party. Whether Mr. Clay will come into this arrangement, it is difficult to predict.— Mr. Crittenden has been one of his warmest friends and supporters, and occupies a very high fF 8ition in the estimation of his party, and of the country. He is a man of unblemished character: of a high order of talent, and is one of our best statesmen and most brilliant orators. He would, therefore, be every way eligible for the station, and we have no doubt, would make an excellent President. His being the bosom friend of Henry Clay, of Kentucky—himself a Kentuckian—would | no doubt, contribute essentially to his success. Judge McLean is one of the purest and most talented of our public men,but we doubt whether he can be spared from the Supreme Bench, of which he is confessedly one of the greatest orna- ments. His political opinions are strictly conser- vative, and he would make, therefore, a safe chief magistrate, But his chances against a very po- pular candidate would be small, from the fact that he has been for a long time withdrawn from the political arena, and the body of the people have almost lost sight of him. Still, his chances are by no means contemptible, especially with Mr. Man- gum for Vice President, whose high standing and great weight, would contribute greatly to the suc- cess of the ticket. Until that unfortunate “hasty plate of soup” affair, and the brilliant battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma, General Scott was certainly the most prominent and most popular whig can- didate. But that unlucky letter has extinguished all his prospects. The General is a brave sol- dier and a patriot, but that most ill-advised corres- pondence has scattered all bis chances of success. The fact probably is, and nothing is more certain than that he will meet with a mortifying defeat, shouid he suffer his name to be used as a candi- date for the Presidency. Ot alithe whig candidstes the prospects of “old Zack,” as Gen. Taylor is familiarly called, are the most brilliant—that is, if nothing oocurs to check his preseut career of glory. His glorious achievements in the field—his cool, steady, and determined coursge—no lees than the terse, vigo- rous style of his despatches, have already exalted him tw a very high point in the affections of the American people. He has earned the praise of ali parties, and whatever party suceeeds in. secu- ring his acceptance of their nomination, is proba- | bly sure to win the race. It is notat all impro bable that the democrats may take him up, and #0 head off the whigs. Should he run on the democratic ticket, he will be elected with an overwhelming majority. We believe there would be very little opposition to him. We know not what new aspirants for Presiden- The Go ‘el honors may rise up between this time and the and of the present administration. Commodore | Conner may yet pluck blood-stained laurels from fer ramparts of Ban Juand’Ulloa, Who knows news soon—probably a second edition of | , but he may yet be as popular ‘old Rough and Ready ?” The moves on the political chess board will, t refore, be highly interesting trom thistime for- | ward. Gen. Taylor, though not regularly taken up by-any party, is yet the most available candi- date at present, and the success of the whig par- | ty depends on his acceptance of their nomination should it be offered to him. Should the other candidates contrive to head him off in the con- | vention, it is probable that he may be taken up, even without his censent, by the democrats, and secure for that partya most signal triumph. In the meantime, the brave old General will throw his leg over the pommel of his saddle and head his troops to Monterey. European PoiliticeMonarchy and Repub- | Mcantem. The position of the different pewers of Europe | is at this moment highly interesting. We find that the greatest States in that portion of the globe where monarchy rears its head highest, and the people seem to bow with most submission to the “divine right,” are at present governed by men who have sprung from the body of the people. England, certainly the greatest monarchy in the world, has for years been governed by Sir Robert Peel, a man of yesterday—one, whose father was a mechanic, with no ancestry to boast of, or upon the posthumous fame of whom he might build his own preterment. This man, who by the force of talent alone, has raised himself to one of the | Proudest positions in the world, has lately achiev- ed a most signal triumph over the aristocracy of Great Britain, by forcing, against all the power they cculd muster to oppose him, the passage ofa bill to cheapen the price of corn. This man has | wielded, for years, the destinies of England, when no person could be found among the gilded names | ofthe English peerage, or the aristocracy, to guide the helm of state. Even Lord John Russell, a man who unites a great deal of sagacity, boldness and acumen as a debater, toa rank derived from countless ancestors, was found unequal to the | | task ; and the Queen, though evidently partial to the whigs, was still obliged to retain the great commoner. The existence of the French throne seems to | hang on the statesmanship of M. Guizot, almost as much so as upon the life of Louis Philippe. | By the most masterly policy he keeps M. Thiers in check, and at the same time he has cemented a bond of union between {the crowns of England and France. He saw that for the confessed and palpable insta- | bility ofthe French throne, there was no other | Prop but the friendship of England ; and although the dose was revolting to the palate of a French- | man, yet he swallowed it with a good grace. It { was a matter of necessity; and calling philosophy to his aid, he gulped it down with an air of com- | plaisance that could be assumed but by a French- \man. The entente cordiale, the mainstay of the | French monarchy, is mainly the creation of M. | Guizot; and if the succession of the Orleans | branch of the Bourbon family can be secured, it | will be owing to his masterly statesmanship. Of the drama contin seem that it grows more in favor on | | yesterday, among the news from the army of oc- | cupation, that a new paper, in Spanish and English, called the Republic of Rio Grande and | Friend of the People, had been commenced at | Matamoras, under favorable auspices. The | avowed object of this paper is-to incite the inha- | bitants of the department of Tamaulipas to | throw off the Mexican yoke, establish their indo- | pendence, and ultimately ally their destiny with that of the United States: Some time since we suggested the same course, | pointed out the sucgess that would undoubtedly | attend it, and we are glad to see our suggestions | carried out so soon. | The establishment of this paper, insignificant as it may appear at first sight, is an event preg- nant with importance. It isthe commencement | of a series of events that will have an important | influence ow the destinies of America, and the whole world. It is the shadow which the mighty events that will certainly follow, have thrown be- | fore them, Our readers are faniiliar with the | distracted condition of Mexico for twenty years and upwards, and likewise of the influence of the press in thet country, and the dissatisfaction of the people towards their rulers. Let them consider then the progressive spread of our influ- | enco—the occupation of a portion of Northern | Mexico by the victorious Americans—the locating | of thousands of American volunteers, when the war shall be ended; and couple these with the establishment of a free press, devoted to accom- plishing another Texas revolution and indepen- dence, and they can see the consequence. The republic of the Rio Grande will start into existence ; in timeit will be annexed to the Uni- ted States ; other departments will follow in quick succession—and the gradual and total identifica- tion of the whole of Mexico with the United States. Here, then, we have an inkling of the effects that will follow the establishment of this new paper. revolutions, which, when fully matured and har- | Mexico. Let the heroes of San Jacinto put their finger to their nose and ponder. Theatrical and Musical. Panx.—Mr. Marble appeared again last evening in the new comedy of “Family Ties,” and in the drama of “Hue and Cry.” Inthe latter all the characters were remarkably well sustained. We noticed Mr. McDouall’s | actidg as particularly good in this piece, in his pest of | Marmaduke Mannikin. Fisher, both in this piece and in “ Family Ties,” is cast in a part entirely unsuited to him, and he is, consequently. made to appear to disadvantage. The acting of Povey, McDouall, Mrs. Vernon, and Mrs. Knight, in the afterpiece, was excellent. The perform- ances for this evening consist of ‘ Sam Patch in Branco,” “The Vermont Wool Dealer,” and “ Black-Eyed Su- san,” in each of which Mr. Marble appears. Bowsry Turatne.—The splendid nautical drama of “ The Wizard of the Wave” formed the principal attrac tion at the Bowery Theatre last evening. The interest which this favorite drama first created in the lovers of es undiminished ; indeed it would ry performance It is withdrawn for the present to make room for attrac- tions of the most brilliant nature.

M. Gui- | | zot lives but for one object—to strengthen the | succession of the Orleans Bourbons—and all his | actions and policy are to be judged with a view | to this main aim of his political existence. But whatever we may think of the direction of his po- | licy, there cannot be a question as to his trans- | cendant talents as a statesman. M. Guizotisa | | man of humble extraction; and he has raised | himself to his present position by force of innate | talent alone, without the adventitious aid of high birth or station. | Metternich, another man of the people, rocks the \ | cradle of Austria, and is no less the ruler of that | great empire than Guizot and Peel are of France | | and England. He has continued to rule the des- | | tinies of the empire for more than a quarter ofa | century, and on his existence hangs the peace of | the Austrian dominions. One of Sweden’s best monarchs, Bernadotte, fought in the ranks ef Napoleon’s army. Thus we see that in most of the countries of | Europe, the real rulers are men sprung from the | body of the people; democrats in broadcloth. | For the last half centuyy the greatest pre- miers that have swayed the destinies of Eng- land have been commoners—a tacit acknow- ledgment of the superiority of the democra- tic system. The kings of England and of France, | and of other countries, though with all the advan- | tages of “divine right,” birth, station, wealth, | and influence, have been generally incapable of governing the affairs of their respective countries; | and have been obliged to select their proxies, not | from among the nobility, but from among those | who have carved out their own fortunes, and | whose genius has raised them from obscurity. It is evident that democracy is in the ascen- dant, even in the monarchies of Europe. But more especially on this continent the march of republi- | canism is onward. Canada is even now showing symptoms of disaffection; and it must be evident to even the least observant, that if England wisb- es to hold her European and Asiatic possessions, she must loose her hold on her North American colonies. Besides,’we learn from sources entitled to every credit, that nine-tenths of the Canadian people are in favor of annexation to the United | ! and Yucatan will be added, parcel by parcel, to | our national domain. This is a consummation | that cannot be prevented by any entente cordiale, | or by the most tortuous policy of European eabi- | nets. It is a consummation that the United States will neither precipitate nor retard. It is our ma- nifest policy to watch the progress of time; and, taking advantage of the course of human events, | , sail onwards to our glorious destination—the uni- | versal empire of the North American continent. | Free Batus.—We notice that Alderman Hart | of the 5th Ward, in the Common Council of Mon- | day evening, offered a resolution in favor of direct- | | ing the Committee on Arts and Sciences to inquire | into the expediency of erecting free bathing | heuses in the city of New York. | Whether this resolution was suggested by our | article upon the subject the day previous we are not | aware, the prosecution of it will be one of the i most popular local movements of the day, and | will endear to the peoples’ hearts the movers in it. | We are aware that Common Councils have a peculiar way of adopting resolutions and by some sort of hocus pocus never hearing from them | again. We hope that such may not be the case | | in this matter; but as the resolution was adopted, | we should like to see its mover attend to it, and | not allow it to lag.

Louisville, June 13. M. The market opened ‘heavy this morning, and prices fell off about one per cent, and closed heavy at the de- cline. The bears are making a desperate effort to get prices down, and there is every probability of their succeeding. At the first board Long Island fell off 1 per cent; Hat lem, 1; Norwich and Worcester, <; Reading, 1; Mor- ris Canal, } ; Canton Co. ; Ohio 6's, 4; Pennsylvagia 5a closed at yesterday’s prices. _ At the second board transactions wero very limited, but prices were firm, and in some instances a slight 1m- provement on quotetions current at the first board, was realized. There appears to be a desperate contest be- tween the bears and the bulls, and itis impoxsible to tell which will gain the ascendancy. The season is in favor of the bears; but when we consider that there has been in fact, no improvement of consequence in the stuck market, under the circumstances—when we consider that there has been a very great and importent change in everything connected with our foreign, politicel, and commercial affairs, and that we sre now ina fair way of reaching a greater prosperity than we have enjoyed fer Years, the advance in stocks has been hut a very trifling percent. As we said before, the season is in favor of the bears—and the dull times approeching, will. to acertain extent, tend to a depression of the stuck market.

The three railroad companies on the Boston and New York route, viz: the Long Island, Norwich and Worces ter, and the Stonington. have raised the price of passage between the two cities. The fare now is four dollars, eptng and that is little enough for the distance, two hundred and twenty miles. This will give a more favorable com- Plexion to the returns of receipts, and improve the value of these stocks, It is a very strange tact, that thé three railroads, on the direct route between this city and Bos. ton, do not pay dividends ; but when we look at the com" petition and reduced price of passage heretofore este blished, it is not surprising.
