We mean what we say. This day’s ntains a highly interesting and impor- tant letter from our regular correspondent in Vi- enna, and one from Chiapas; and the Herald of last Monday contained letters from Paris, Flo- renee, Cuidad Real, and Matamoras. Our correspondent in Vienna speaks truly of the unprincipled means that are resorted toin Europe to vilify and abuse the United States and our institutions. We have long been cognizant of | this system of misrepresentation, and are well | convineed of the spirit that puts itin motion, | ‘The truth is, as we have on many occasions sta- ted, we are a perpetual stumbling block and eye- | sore tothe governments of Europe. We have, in an inconceivably short space of time, grown trom the stature of an infantin swaddling clothes, to that of a fall grown giant, who threatens to swallo 2a moment, all the pigmy monarchies of the old world. Our growth has been favored and increased by the institations under which we | live. We have inhaled from our infancy the breath of freedom, and that, too, in an unstinted quantity, and have experienced no check te the developement of our mental and physical facul- ties. Henee followed our rapid rise and present greatness coms paper ¢ Itis not so in Europe. Borne down and oppressed by arbitrary laws and excessive taxation, the toiling millions have been slaves for centuries, and will remain so for centurieslonger, unless the moral influence of our people and our institutions shall awake them toa knowledge of their rights, and wake them toa struggle to assert them Thuis influence is silently but surely working its way, in spite of the efforts of ali the lords and nabobs in creation to prevent it. Their paid organs and presses may calumniate us and imalign us as much as they please.— This abuse salt to our soup. Facts are stronger than any logic they may use. We have the stern reality to produce: and if their logic and w presentation can convince Ameri- pir country is not free and independ- , and powerfal, and that too, so much that the t heir European monarchs have, ere to court its friendship and dread its enmity, then all we can say is, that history is a table, and the thirteen original States of America are British colonies still. | But it is not to Americans that these misrepre- | wentations are directed, but to those whose privi- lege it hos nbt been to be well informed of the gradual transition the world is at present under- going—it is to the uninformed and oppressed mil- lions who are born and nurtured (if the term can be so used) under a system of vassalage, and whose task it is from boyhood to dotage, to de- vote their strength and labor to the enrichment of their oppressors and their task masters. It is to those that these misrepresentations are ad- dressed, in order, if possible,to fasten still stronger the fetters that bind them, and thas continue the order of vassalage that supports their tyrants. and rulers. This accounts for the malignant fabrications ay@inst our country that are promulgated daily in Germany. For years past the emigration from that part of Europe to the United States has been tre- mendous; and that, together with the current of specie which accompanies it, has appalled the government of that country. Witness the means that are pursued to check this stream of wealth, aud confine it at home See our correspondent’s letter for information cans that U . Tas Novemesr Exsction.—The official notice, ytforming the electors of the different vacancies that will exist, and which are to be filled at the fall election, has been forwarded by the Secre tary of State to the Sheriff of this county, and is published. In looking it over, we discover no notice is given for the election of County Clerk. This is right. Why should we go into the fool- ery of an election, when our present County Clerk the “ Rough and Ready” of democracy, satis- fies all parties. The Seoretary of State appears satisfied—we are satisfied—and we know the people are satisfied ; besides, our County Clerk contended two years for the repeal of an uncon- situational law, which divided the duties and emoluments of his office ; 80, it may be said he has had the office only one year ARRIVAL OF Tux Yorusnine —This magnificent @lipper of the under command of Capt. D. G. Bailey, arrived inst night in the remarkably short Passage Of twenty-ix days, from Liverpeol. This is certainly good ssiling, when we take into con- sideration, that at this season, when calms and Jight winds prevail, with scarcely a npple per- ceptible for miles on the surface of the #a,tue pas- Sage is rarely made under forty days. The Vessels arriving from the eastward report calm and | wht baffling winds; and many are now duc from Europe, baying been at sea over forty days, which amt any other time cf the year, would have per- orined the passage in less than thirty. State of the Navy—Phe Energy of the Mer partment~Tremendous Navel Power on the Coasts of Mexico. The extraordinary developement of the resources of the United States in a military point of view, so recently presented to the eyes of the world, when two hundred thousand intelligent and patriotic freemen instantly came forward, in answer toa call for volunteers in the Mexican war, has been regarded with curious interest by thinking men, as an index of what would be the case should our country unfortunately be en- gaged in a war with any of the great powers of Europe. In such a case no drafting of men for soldiers would be tolerated or even necessary: The military enthusiasm nataral to republicans, would cause our citizens to volunteer by regi- ments and brigades instead of squads and com. panies as at present; and these forces collected | | and disciplined in every part of an immense country, would be ready to concentrate them- selves by our network of railroads,upon aay point | attacked, and to annihilate an invading force of | any possible numerical strength. But though all have viewed with pride and | satisfaction this demonstration of our military re- sources; and the mass of the people seem to have forgotten the navy, which has as yet had no op- portunity of winning its laurels, as of old; its in- terests have not been overlooked by those in power, nor forgotten by those who recollect the | incidents of the last war with England, or who are directly engaged in foreign commerce. They | have borne in mind the importance of being pre- | pared to meet the foe where he will most proba- bly seek us, on the ocean, and on our sea coasts, The promptness with which very considerable forces have, at short notice, been thrown upon the two coasts of Mexico, are an evidence of this; and the alacrity observed in all the navy yards in the outfitting of our ships of war, have convinced us, that the same energy and confi- dence which enabled our gallant little navy to measure strength in single actions with the “mistress of the seas,” would not be wanting now, should it be necessary, to convert the im- mense amount of materiel, at present accumulated at the arsenals and ship yards, into as large a fleet | of ships and war steamers, as might be required under any circumstances. Our resources in this respect are as inexhaustible as our forests—and the genius and skill of our machinists and artizans as unfathomable and boundless, as the mines of the metals they work ; amd with the thousands of brave and hardy seaman,which an immense un- employed mercantile marine would supply to the service, we might defy the world, afloat. While impressed men would work and fight the ships of every attempt of the kind | the enemy, without any other interest in the | event than the prize money, our cool and calcu- dew,” with a smile at the absurdity of a ship ever yielding, when every man on board is one of the owners. We furnish below a table, corrected to the latest dates, of the squadrons of the Gulf of Mexi- eo, and on the coasts of California—the former is now employed in blockading the several ports of the enemy, but is available, should it be decided to possess ourselves of the Castle of St. Juan d@’Ulloa and the city of Vera Cruz. The latter squadron is employed in blockading the ports and taking possession of the most important posi- tions on the Californian and Western Mexican coasts. We daily expect interesting news from | this squadron. SQUADRON IN THE GULF OF MEXICO, AND FOR THE ATTACK ON SAN JUAN DE ULLOA. Davip Comnon, Commevone. U. 8.

For example, the Pennsylvania rated 120, carries 144 guns in her broadsides. All the 74’s are 90 gun ships except the Columbia, 80; the 44 gun ships, except one, all carry from 54 to 62 guns. The sloops of war are generally heavier than they are rated. Thus it will be seen that our available naval force,threatning Mexico at this time, is about 1600 guns. Of these, a proper pro- portion are Paixhan guns, of sizes suitable to the different ships that carry them. The frigates are of a size and force that would justify their taking 2 place in the line of battle ina fleet engagement, as they throw much greater weight of metal ata broadside, than the old English and French line of battle ships. Altogether this is a very formidable armament, and it can be increased very considerably, as | " several line of battle ships and large frigates are preserved in houses on the stocks, and might be \auched and sent to sea in six weeks. Cartain Scott anp Tuk Frexcn Commanper.— A day or two ago we gave the account, as given by M. M. Delacour, Captain of the French war steamer Tonnerre, in relation to his difficulty with Captain Scott. Since then, we learn from the latter, that the whole transaction is endeavored to be placed in a false light by the statement of the valorous M. M. Delacour. Our respected sh'p- master only hoisted his colors on the express stipu- lations that an apology should be made, in pre- sence of his crew, forthe unbecoming |: used toward him ; and this was duis,” Aa ae ing pardon of the gentlemanly Frenchman, Capt. Seott dif nothing of the kind; but once during the conversation, in disputing some observation of the French Captain, he replied in the usual form, “Excuse me, sir, you are mistaken.” Veri- ly, this M. M. Delacour has a very bad memory, or else a most pliant conscience. Capt. Scott has for « long time been in the employ of the most re- speetable houses of our city; and his pres-nt em- ployer, Mr. Jonathan Thompson, has often en- trusted him with letters of credit to the amount of Sto 90,000 dollars. The insinuation, therefore, of Monsieur Delacour, that he waseither a “biack- guard, ignorant, drank, or crazy,” it is almost un- necessary to say, is a foolish on ——$—$— temp nt how Af oven tat oly, hither uasee. !

They proceed immediately t¢ Governor's Island, where, after remaining in camp for three weeks, they will sail — for the Pacifie, intending to leave about the 20th of August. ‘The short space of time in which this regiment of volunteers has been raised, is another exem- plifiestion of the energy and enterprise of the American spirit. Scarcely a month has elapsed Since it was first publicly understood that the re- giment was to be raised; and yet, within that time, nearly a thousand men nave been enrolled; and it has been necessary to deny a great number of applications made since the regiment was filled. ‘The character of the officers and privates com- posing the expedition is one which will do honor to our country, and sustain it wherever they go. Col. Stevenson has long been known in our com- munity as a man of distinguished enterprise and talent. His skill as an officer, and his determined | energy, united with a remarkable suavity of man- ner, will render him highly respected by his sub- ordinates. The Lieutenant Colonel of the regi- | ment is Henry 8. Burton, who has for many years been an instructor in artillery at the West Point | Military Academy, one of the best soldiers in our | army,and a gentleman in every sense of the word. The Major is James Hardy, who has also been an ‘instructor at West roint, and an officer who ene | joys the confidence and respect of all who know ‘him. The captains and lieutenants are all men | of talent and enterprise; and none have received | commissions until their characters had been se- | verely scrutinized. The privates are principally | respectable mechanics—young, enthusiastic, and | strong. | Composed of such materials, there is no doubt | of the entire successof the expedition. The beau- | tifal region of California, if that be made the set* tling-place, will grow up under the fostering care of such men into a great and valuable State, Laxe Supgzion Minerat Reoton.—The rapidity with which report follows report of developing | wealth in the country on and about LakeSuperior, | has indueed us to turn our attention to that quarter, We find that there are now about ninety compa- nies purporting to carry on the working of the silver and copper mines of that district. The fol- lowing table will show from whence the means are supposed to be drawn for the support of these extensive operations :— No. Cos. Shares. 48500. Directors residing at « «Now York, Boston. 87 | This is probably below the number in opera- | tion; but assuming for this number the low average of $50 for each share, we have the grand | aggregate of $15,275,000 as the nominal capital employed. Ifall these companies are indeed fair | and above board in their dealings, and are legiti- | mate enterprises, then the country operated in | must be one mass of copper, beundless and inex- | haustible. Boston seems to have enterad the | most extensively into the business. Theatrical and Musical. | Bowgay Tueatar.—The bill for last evening consist- ' ed of the beautiful dramatic and equestrian spectacle of “Ivanhoe,” and the drama of the “Lady of the Lake.” | Of the performances of both of these pieces—Ivanhoe particularly, 1s the best thing of the kind we ever wit- | nessed; and the Lady of the Lake is avery superior dra- | ma. The bill for thisevening consists of tho laughable veer of “ Paul Pry,” “The Rake’s Progress.” and | “Black Eyed Susan.” A very superior bill. Go and witness the performance. Garenwich THeatar —We were glad to see so large and respectable an audience collected last evening, to testify their pleasure at the varied performances of the | exeellent corps attached to this theatre. Mr. Freer ably | sustained his part in the ‘ Orphan of Geneva,” ind was | seconded by Miss Crauford in a most satisfactory man- ner. We hail the latter lady asa most valuable and at- tractive addition to the sterling actresses of our city. | This evening. the dramas of the “ Wandering Boys” and “ Michael tae Ferryman” will be performed; Mr Freer, | Miss Crauford, Mr. Chepman, and the delightful Julia the principal characters. In addition, ree of the “ Artfal Douger” will be pre- . Several pas seuls will be introduced during the evening. The very announcing of such a bill is suffi- cient to secure a crowded house, and let no one be de- terred from going by the hest, for this gem of a theatre is admurably ventilated, and i- cool as a summer house.

Mr. Tilden sented a preamble and re: of the New York City constitution movement tw the fancies, (@ sethe extent, and a0 tnfetio’, of ptices muah beyond their piesent limits. ‘Tho dperation and effect of the new tariff bill, is yet ia the perspective. What they: will be no one can deter mine. The whole ismere theory. The proctical part of the principly adopted in the formation of the new bill may be far different from that anticipated; and the chances are that it will be more unfavorable than predicted by its very sanguine friends, so far as providing revenue for the support of government is concerned. Tho new tariff’ places an additional duty upon luxuries, and reduces the duty upon articles generally used, It is argued that an increased duty upon luxuries will not reduce the con- sumption, or restrict the importation; but we find, in all classes of society a disposition to enjoy the luxuries of this world, to the fullest extent of their means, and when any article is increased in price, a de- crease in the consumption must take place, and in this way the importation of luxuries must be reduced. We find this principle carried out in all things not really ne cessary for the support of life. We find it particularly demonstrated in the increased travel low prices create, An individual will make a dozen pleasure excursions when the expense of each may be only one dollar, whereas he would not make halfadozen if the »xpense ofeach was a dollar anda quarter. Just so in the oon sumption of champagne, and other luxuries. Tbismay appear very extraordinary to those’ who heve never given the subject even a passing thought, but it is never theless true as holy writ. The consumptign of necessa- ries of life, appears to be governed and regulated upon different principles. It is the first impulse to get all we really want, and then, if there be any surplus funds to get those things, which, although not actually neces- sary for the comfort of life, have a very important in- fluence upon our general enjoyment and happiness. The new tariff is intended to cheapen the necessaries of life, or articles of general use, impo ted from foreign. countries, by reducing the duty upon them. As the ne cessaries of life become reduced in cost, there may be az: increase in the consumption of luxuries, upon the ground, that people generally make it a rule to live up to the full extent of their income. We see no way of increasing tariff levies a higher duty but this, and this isso doubtful and uncertain, that it would be folly to anticipate an in-- crease of revenue from that source. According to the comparative statement of duties levied under the tariff act of 1649 and those levied under the act just passed, which we published this morning, it appears that upon the principal articles of luxury the | duty under the act of 1842 was fifteen per cent, and under the new act twent: © per cent, or an increase of near ly fifty per cent. Uponarticles of general use, the duty : el to E. Dottie, with ited to’call at the depot and ; ‘ces alltthe different styles of C Pres. reitte.
