The weather is beginning to be extremely beau, tiful in this gay metropolis—the sun bright—the heavens blue—the air bracing—and the whole atmosphere healthy and delightful. The same | influeaces do not appear to reach the political world. The relations between Fraace and Eng- land, or rather between the two foreign ministers, I» French people, for if there was any popular feel- | ing on the subject, it was decidedly in favor of the | American policy of annexation. Thus, also, in although the government journals—the Journal des Debats, and others—cen- sure the United States, yet I have no doubt what | | ever but the popular opinion of France is decided | ly against Mexico and in favor of the American | government. Guizot is a man of the highest order of pure intellect—com prehensive, benevolent, pro- gressive, somewhat; but he is cramped and warped by the narrower and more practical pur- poses ofthe King, who has given his own impres- | | sions and his own directions to the system of go- | vernment organized here since 1880. This system are wider and worse than ever. Woman has now | wit! not long suit the aspiring impulses of the mixed in the feud, and the great, mighty, impor | French people.

This fanny quarrel about the Moutpensier mar- riage is, therefore, creating a great sensation among the fashionable salens—and particularly among the fine ladies who lead the ton in Paris. These feelings show themselves in a variety of Judicroos and amusing shapes—not only in private and diplomatic bails and parties, but in those pub- lic bas got up for charitable and benevolent pur- poses. A short time ago a Polish ball was given at the Hotel Lambert, for the benefit of the Potish exiles. On the subsequent evening follow- ed a British ball, given at Herz’s Saloon, for the benefit of the destitute English, Scotch, and Irish. ‘The first ball was crowded by all the most gay, ‘wealthy, and beautiful of French society, with a considerable sprinkling of foreigners, save and ex- | cept the Russians. We attended it, and it cer- | from ten to twelve theusand regulars and volun. tainly was a most exciting and splendid seene.— | teers, under the bill recently passed, as well as ‘The British ball only counted Lord and Lady Nor- | ¥ader the requisition recently made by Colonel manby, with the few English residents, including a dozen of Americans, not, perhaps, # hundred and fiftyin all, while the Polish ball reached many thousands. Thus, has this singular marrisge quarrel been running through all the balls and soirées during the present season, until it reached an open rup- ture last week, when Lady Normanby gave a grand soirée, and M. Guizota splendid reception, on one and the same night. We had received a card from the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, but unfortunately were unable to attend on that occasion, as Mrs. B. was busy preparing to takea trip to Italy, for the purpose of offering up her de- | votions during the Holy Week in Rome. All her wardrobe was packed away, and she could not go to see the gay throng at the Hotel des Affaires Etrangeres. Butduring her absence,'which will be for a few weeks, I shall have an opportunity to see the progress of this funny quarrel between France and England, which is about to be fought out in the fashionable saloons of Paris, headed by | turned, by the infinite tact of the King, in’oa nar- | row channel, that never could have been credited | at theera of his accession. I have much to say on these points. —_——s in Northern Mexi- co—What will become of ¢anta Anna? We publish in to-day’s Herald, tor the third time, we believe, an engraving representing the scene of the military operations in Mexico. We insert it now for the purpose of showing that pro- vided Gen. Taylor has succeeded in reaching Monterey, of which there can perhaps be litle doubt, aud ‘hat if our commanders andthe ad- ministration at Washington will act promptly, and take advantage of the ciroumsiances that | have recently occurred at Saltillo, &c. &c., that | @ blow can, with comparative ease, be struck | which willconfer honor and glery on our flag, destroy or capture the whole ef the Mexican | army, and undoubtedly accomplish a peace with- in a very short time. We ‘earn, by the last accounts from that quar- ter, that General Taylor was on his way to Mon- terey, followed by the Mexican army under Santa Anna. At Monterey, there are, probably, at the present time, about six thousand Americans, and within a short time they will be reintorced with | Curtis on the Southern States nearest to the scene of war. This will make a force of eighteen thousand men. It is more than probable that Vera Cruz and S. Juande Ulta are in eur possession by this time. Therefore, if General Scott has received tidings of the straightened circumstances in } which General Taylor is placed, he can, after placing a sufficient garrison there, say from five to seven thousand men, tranship the remainder of his torce to Tampico—direct his course to San Luis, and with his force and that of General Tay- lor, hem in Santa Anna’s army, by occupying al} the passes leading from the Rio Grande to southern Mexixo, and cut the whole Mexican army to pieces or capture them, Santa Anna and the leg included. If .this plan could be carried out, peace, as a matter of course, would follow immediately.— Mexico could not raise another army; her morale would be destroyed ; and her army cut up or captured, and her greatest strongholds in our pos- Lord and Lady Normanby on the one side, and M. | session. She would be completely in our power Guizot on the other, each with a camp of pretty women, of the highest rank, the greatest beauty, the most splendid drapery, the richest jewelry, | the lowest corsages, (for some beauties bare the breast shogkingly,) the finest necks, the most sparkling eyes, and the greatest quantity of lace and liveliness that the world ever saw. Itis to be | and, of course, be compelled to sue for peace on bended knees. But we must ses what General Scott will do. Musical. Iratian Orxna.—The encouragement which the ma- pagers of the Italian Opera have met with during the present season, has induced them to open books for sub- the campaign of Waterloo fought ovor again, not | scriptions to a second season of eighteen nights. It is around the Meunt St. Jean, but in the saloons of | quisite number of nemes, and that to be hoped that the books will be filled up with the re- the laudable enter- Paris—not with swords, pistols, and big guns, but | prise of Signor Sanquirico, in giving to us eperas which with polkas, waltzes, compliments and elegant suppers. | rather think the French will come off: victorious this time. Palmerston, or rather Nor- | t© the co manby, it is true, has a strong legion of British beauty and forte, but there is treachery in his | to the camp. Lord Cowley and all the Cowleys, mas- culine, feminine and neuter, who forraerly repre- sented the British government at this court, are rather inclining towards the French statesman and philosopher. To make up for this defection, Lady Normanby has very wisely won over a couple of French corps d’ armée, the, old withered noblesse ofthe Faubourg St. Germain, who hate Louis Philippe, and the radical opposition from the leftofthe Chamber of Deputies, headed by M. Thiers, Ledon, and Rollin—the latter a democrat of the strictest sect—who love offices. T still believe that M. Guizot will come off vic- torious inthe salons. He isa most amiable, win- | to the com ony erent ning, and pure minded man. He is a statesman of comprehensive views, cool and imperturbable, entirely unlike a modern Frenchman. He has as- sembled around him a large proportion of the rising genius and talent of the metropolis, in- eluding the beautiful women and blue stockin to the extent of several French leagues, of fine fe- males, allin a row, if you put them in that posi- sition. The minister is witty and sarcastic ; he attracts all the wit of the capital to his reeeptions. Lord Normanby is a hot-headed Irishman; has already spoilt a pretty plausible case by bad mea- sures, and will commit more blunders before he closes his career—in fact, he has a natural taste for blunders. The remaining portion of the fash ionable season will, therefore, be very interest- ing; for on the issue, it would seem, that the re- lations of France and England, and by conse- quence the fate of Europe, now hang. Such, in sober'seriousness, is nearly a correct picture of the position which the two greatest go- | vernments of the old world hold to each other, while starvation and famine stalk through both nations, and in one province thousands die week- | ly of hunger. What a sad commentary on the boasted intelligence and civilization of Europe ! errorsfor to err is haman—it does not, at least, descend to the level of a group of old women giving the lie to each other, and quarrelling about invitations to a ball. Opposition to M. Guizot, is the isolation into whieh the French government has been thrown by the interruption of the friendly relations be- tween the two great constitutional powers of Western Europe. As an indifferent spectator, anda foreigner, | have thought that the isolation of France is a much more noble position, and more agreeablo to the traditions and feelings of the French, than any entangling alliance with England, or any other government. France could easily place herself at the head of liberal opinions in Europe, and thereby occupy a moral power end a strength perfectly invulnerable to all coa- litions. She numbers thirty-five millions of peo- ple; all speaking the same lan by the same hi the same future—united under the same single vernment. She can defend her nationality and ent existence against any coalition against pr her. The accidental overthrow of Napoleon at | ‘Waterloo, was merely an exception, notin the line of historical preeedents. But I am afraid Lonis Philippe, notwithstanding his great practi- 11 knowledge in politics, wants that moral sub- | livaity of mind to put himself at the hoad of the | noblest and most powerful ideas of France.

We are rowing fastidious—perhaps too much se—but the truth , that we havo heretofore been imposed upon by stran- gers of large pretensions and email merit; and the catch. peany contrivances of ‘hose visiters has at length work- edacure of the evil itself, only leaving us, perhaps, a little toe much i 1d to be severe judges.

A decided improvement was apparent last wrens in excluding the band, which has formerly boen intro duced upon the stage.

Pavina tHe StaeEts.—At the approach of the spring election—in order to make some snow—the “coble stones that are used in paving the streets, are defeat up and are again set down, as if in mockery of mode of paving. This operation is now going on in Cha- tham street, and other thoroughfares in our city—the size of the stones being so small as to render the paving, when laid down, incapable of resisting the ac- tion of the omnibus and cart wheels that are travelling almost perpetually over them. Hence the continued dis- greceful cendition of our streets thoroughtares, where ruts and pits ere allowed to remain from one end of ayear to the other.

MONHY MARKET. Wednesday, March 24—6 P. M. There is very little doing in the stock market. Pric do not vary much from day to day, and there appear to be no buyers of any importance in the street. The sell- | ers cannot get rid of half of the stocks they offer. Read. | ing Bonds fell off 3 per cent; Reading Mortgage Bonds 34; Norwich and Worcester . Canton and Long Island closed at yesterday’s prices. Reading Railroad went up per cent; Chio 6’s <; Farmers’ Loan }y; Harlem 3. At the second board, the sales were very small and prices steady. The condition of the cotton markets of this country is, and for sometime past has been, such os to create on impression abroad that all the reports of a short crop, this season, are very much exaggerated. The extent of the gross receipts thus far, is sufficient to convey and confirm this impression, and the aggrogate exports have been so nearly equal to those of the corresponding period last season, thet it is very difficult to make operators in this staple, on the ether side, believe there will bea very great deficiency in the supply. The annexed statement exhibits the exportation, re- eipts and stock on hand, of cotton up to the latest dates, received frem the principal depots of the country.

There have been, within the past few years many cotton plantations converted into sugar planta, tions, and on many other plantations larger quantities of grain have been grown than usual, in the place of cot- ton. All these movements tend toa reduction in the supply of cotton, even in the most favorable seasons, I is our impression that the annual per cent increase in the growth of cotton in the United States during the past ten years, will not averege so much as the annual per cent increase in the consumption for the same period in the country.

Buy- ers of [our were disposed, in the face of the very low stocks in the city, combined with the prospect of the - early resumption of river navigation, and the advanced rates of freights, to operate sparingly. The chief pur. chases were, consequently, made for future delivery, at a reduction of prices in preportion to the extension of lime. The amount of flour ead grain awaiting shipment at Albapy and intermediate points, is said to be large; but it Js believed a very large share, if not the greater part of it, ps already been sold for future delivery and for export @ reaching the city. There can be no very extensive augmentation of supplies (unsold) till the opening of the Erie canal, next month. Asthe Pennsy!- vania canals.kept open longer in autumn than these of New York, the country depending upon them for an out’ Jet was more fully drained, and hence, there will not be as Jorge receipts early this spring, through them, as if they bad closed earlier in the season. The scarcity of vessels, with enhanced freights, will also tend to oheck the movement of Southern flour to this port.. The sales of Indian corn were sgain large, but at prices less firm than those paid yesterday. Provisions remained steady, and yesterday’s prices were sustained. In grocerics sales were made to a moderate extent, without change in prices. —_ Asnes—We continue to quote ‘pots at $4 8734, small sole, 5 and Pearls quiet BY $6 25. va Pola Bexswax—Small sales were made of southern and ‘western yellow at 270.
