We present to our readers this day, a map of that part of Mexico, showing the encampment of Major General Taylor at the latest official advices from him. It also shows the points where Majors | Gainesand Borland, of the Arkansas volunteers, ‘were captured—the place where the Mexican General Minon was encamped at the last accounts | —the place from which Captain Henrie effected his escape on Major Gaines’ horse—the tewns of Patos, Saltillo aad Salado, and the pass of Palo- | mas, where Captain Heady was made prisoner, | It shows at a glance the whole of the recent re- ported military operations in that part of Mexico, the movements of Santa Anna, the points of at- tack, &¢., and it is, therefore, of great value. This map was.drawn on the spot by Colonel Yell, of the Arkansas volunteers, and may be re- lied on for its accuracy. | ——————— | Mrs. & Mrs, Bennett's Letters from Europe. | Panis, February 27, 1847. ‘whe Bourse(of Paris—Stock Jobbing—Roth- | chlids —Cepitalists— Fashion — Royalty — Dislike of Americans in Europe. Yesterday [ sallied out, about 2 o’clock, in a fine bracing sir, from the rue de Rivoli, and wended my way along a succession of short, crooked, nar- row streets, leading directly north towards the | Boulevards. 1 entered that gay promenade, which looks for all the world like Broadway, nearly opposite rue Lafitte, where the Rothchilds have their splendid hotel and banking-house. It is rather adark, narrow street, slightly descend- | ing to the north from the Boulevards, and then rising towards the Place St. Georges of rue Lafitte is the celebrated street called the Chaussée d’ Antin. Both streets, and ‘the imme- diate neighborhood form the banking district of Paris—those new lords, leaders, and sovereigns | 1a modern society, which the beggary and ber- | siderable fortune by speculations in real éstate rowing propensity of European governments have created per fas aut mnefas. Rothchild’s house, or hotel, is a most splendid palace, the fur- nitare alone costing nearly half a million of dol- lars. Their’ banking-house is contiguous, and consists of a number of offices, or bureaux, English French, German, &c. The chief of the house is Baron de Rothchild, who hvlds his title from | some stray German potentate. There are several other Barons and Baronesses, old and young, male and female, who not only hold a distin- guished position in the fashionable world of Paris» | but are the elders, priests, kings, and lerds of the “remnant of Israel” throughout Europe. The Baroness de Rothchild gives the most splendid parties and routes in Paris; and has a private box at both the Italian and French opera, next door | to the King’s box, and within smelling distance of royalty. They are my bankers in Paris, and I, | therefore, the state and grandeur of the modem kingdom | of Israel. Accordingly, 1 mounted the white stone steps, wound my way round the offices, got into the English bureau, and procured a fresh supply of a few thousand trancs, from the polite, benevolent Englishman, with the short face and | agreeable aspect, who presides in that depart, ment, and who always puts me in mind of Addi son’s description of himself in the Spectator. I | also purchased a couple of tickets for a lottery given for the benefit of the poor children of Israel in Paris, who are yet waiting patiently the com- ing of the Messiah. The air and incidents, in the palace of thegreat banker and chief of modern Israel, filled my ima- | Along side | over the earth. | prends—je donne—je denne, to the end of the chapter. could Such is a brief but faint picture of the Bowrst, | only distinguish, ye t Prends—je donne—je prends —je | in the great Republic of North Americs.

It | their immense and hungry popu ation. till is @ vast institution, born and brought up in the | thattime come we must be content, I suppose, midst of modern civilization, and now regulating and controlling governments, dynasties, kitgs, princes, parties, factions, fashion, society, re- ligion, manners, aad follies of all kinds, and sizes. The Bourse of Paris consists of fifty or sixty broker, or agents de change, each of whom give from five to eight hundred thousand francs for the privilege of entering. In connection with the Rothehilds, and a few other large capitalists» | they are the richest persons in Paris, or on the | continent. In fact, they are the modern and civilized nobility of Europe. There are a few—a very few, of the old noblesse of old France, who have considerable estates, but the day and gen- eration of these antique christian barons, are pass- ing away, as fast as the waters of the turbid Seine under my window, are now rushing on to the sea. ‘The finest dinners; the greatest routes, the most splendid balls, the most recherché soireés, are now al- lowed to be given by the financial or moneyed class of society—the financial barons. Not even the er- tertainments ef the foreign ambassadors, or those | of the Duc de Nemours, the tuture regent of France, are considered more choice, more splendid, more fashionable, than those of the great finan- ciers—particularly the Rothchilds, and some others. Yet the finanéial lords and barons have two sets of society—those of their customers who ; bank with them, compose the cheap circle ; those of the diplomatists, princes and great equals, form the higher-priced or select circle of acquaint- ance. The first are called the one-eight-per-cent balis, or the half-per-cent soirées--or the three- | eights-per-cents dinners, according to the rate | charged the guests in the final liquidation of their cash accounts. The American banker's parties | are called the half-per. cent balls, and are consid- ered acheap and efficient instrument of trade, as well as of hospitality and fashion. The present condition of the Bourse is not so excited as it was about a year ago. The amount of transactions in fancy stocks, or railway shares, wasthen probably double or quadruple what it is at this moment. Probably, then, about ten thousand eager speculators were daily trying to shave each other, and to get rich suddenly by the exercise of their wits. Now only five thousand can be seen daily. The present tide of stock-job- ng was first introduced into the Paris Bourse by speculators from England, Belgiam, and Ger- many. The French make good soldiers, good dancing masters, good surgeons, good ora- tors, geod actors, good saints, good philoso- phers, good tailors, but they are but indifferent | stock-jobbers, middling merchants, and only to- lerable financiers. Nearly all the best bankers of Paris are foreigners—Germans principally, with the Rothchilds at their head, and a hunared and fifty thousand ofall creeds at their tail. The Eng- lish and Germans introduced the first excitement in railway stock-jobbing, on the Paris Bourse, and many jwere the poor Frenchmen, from the peer to the penny-a-liner, who were caught in the mania, and entirely stript of everytting in the world, except theirjins; their sentiment, and their last pair of breeches. It is supposed, and has been stated in the Chamber of Deputies, that the English and German speculators took away last year, the sum of $80,000,000 or 400,000,000 francs, in the differences in railway and other shares.— One English stock-jobber was mentioned to me, who came over from London, last summer, with £50, and in six weeks bagged $500,000. Another great source of speculation in Paris, has been the sudden rise of real estate in certain quarters since the revolution of ’30. Many have get rich in New York, by a similar plan It is stated that the Rothchilds, made alone, by this mode of speculation, about three millions of francs ina few weeks. An American broker, formerly known in Wall street, ten or fifteen years ago, bu; who has been living here since, has made a con- here, and now occupies the position in fashiona- ble society here, by his soirées, which Col. Thorne formerly did in the Faubourg St. Germaine, In fact, the system of getting into the highest fashion- able society here, is very simple and very scien- tific. It is just as easy as getting a mutton-chop cooked for a franc, and two sousto the gargon— cash down always. Take a splendid hotel, fill it with fine furniture, attentive servants, and capital cooks. Give a carte blanche to any of the stray countesses, duchesses, or princesses, either of the old or new regime, who are floating about in all directions here, and you can at once create a fashionable circle of the first quality, und highest pretensions. You have nothing to do but to pay up and be laughed at—to settle the bills every week, and be ridiculed by those whe visit you— and all is as easy as going tofthe devil. I have had several propositions made to me by-kind Pa- contribute my per centage to keep up | risians, to enter upon such an experi nent, but I politely declined the intended honor, and pre- | ferred going to the devil inmy own way, and at a cheaper price, besides enjoying the laugh and the ridicule on my side. This is a funny place, to say the least of it. The rich men, here, are very numerous, but 1 have seen no catalogue of them, as we have in New York. The firm of Rothchild is estimated ‘at $16,000,000, or eighty millions of francs, but there are some even richer. This is the estima- tion on ’change, but how accurate it is, no one | can tell on this side of the grave. shrewd philosophers believe, that all the leading financiers of Europe, are living on credit, as much as the various governments, kings and princes are— gination with stocks, premiums, differences, con- | they say that their real property consists only ot sols, rentes, exchanges, gold, silver, brokers, bankers, cheats, shavers, swindlers, rogues, tailors, and all sorts of things which cengregate in t he exchange or Bourse, anciently called by the f our holy evangelists, the ‘temple of Mammon.” 1 accordingly, under the influence of the ether or | nitrous oxide gas of money-making, directed my way to the Bourse, or Change of Paris, where the stock-jobbers cengregate in thousands every day. I passed along the Bowlevards as far as rue Vivi- houses and furniture—that all the rest is credit, without capital or real money. The aggregate public debt of Europe, is about five thousand millions of dollars, the annual interest on which is about two hundred and fifty millions of dollars. This latter sum is taken yearly from the industry of the working classes, in the shape of taxes, and paid away to the {und holders, who are nearly all | anidle, refined, luxurious race. In addition to this | vast drain ¢n industry, there the vast class of enna, then to the Place de la Bourse, where stands | government officers, from sovereign down to sol- one of the most beautiful temples ever erected to | dier, who also live in idleness, and consume near Mammon, or to any other ancient or modern god. | ly as much,without contributing anything to actual I mounted the steps, I entered the vestibule, J | production. Here is an annual drain upon penetrated the interior. Here I found nearly, if | Europe of $500,000,000 or more, which has been not over, five thousand men, all erowding round a | circular enclosure in the centre of the great hall. | Tris enclosure contains about fifty or sixty bro- | kers, or agents de change, who are all hallooing and | iransacting business at the top of their voices, in a style somewhat similar to that in the Exehange of New York, but with a far more energetic and vociferous energy of manner. Besides the crowd of thousands of stock-jobbers in the great hall below, the galleries above contained many | hundred spectators who did not mingle in the fray of apeculating, jobbing, getting rich, or losing every thing, but merely looked on the fun below It } looked like a magnificent gambling house, where every face seemed to be concentrated on one pur- | pose, and utterly reckless of every other thing — Under the Corinthian columns to the left, stood the great bankers, financiers, capitalists, and gamblers ofthe age. Every second man in the crowd seemed to have a small memorandum | book in his hand, in which he noted down the ideas as they occurred, or the contracts he had made, The fifty brokers, enclosed in their circle in the centre, and guarded by the police, were talking, shouting, gesticulating, at the top of their voice and height. It was one, single, unadulter- ated, eternal buzz, almost rising to uproar, and very mach resembling the noise made in the tow- er of Babel, when the great confasion of tongues 1ook place, and the stock-jobbers were first scat- created under the genius of finance, aiding and assisting the existing governments in their wars, pageants, and other movemoiits of the system of society. In the meantime, during the last thirty years, the different populations have been in- creasing, till in certain portions of the continent, such as Belgium, France, and Ireland, the means of subsistence is unable to support the people of particular districts. This new crisis of human society has been hurried on by the failure of the potato. The prospect ahead is worse than the realities of the past. Europe, hereatter, will annually require an increasing quantity of food ‘rom some other country to supply the growing deficiency. Thi can only be got from America— from the United States—from the great North West of the Union. Goto work, therefore, plan, corn, and sow whear, for the period has come when the accumulated wealth of a thousand years—the gold, silver and jewels of Europe must cross the Atlantic, and take up their residence in the great West. During the last three thousand | years, the precious metals and stones of the world have travelled from the East to the West—from Hindostan to western Europe. This law of move- ment is produced by the laws that regulate the elements of population, industry, civilization and | luxury. The great movement has begun to cross the Atlantic, and nothing can stop it, till all she wealth of Europe that is portable will tind a home } ined | with the highest prices for cotton, corn, and pro- visions generally. Well, be itso. Every doghas ;hisday. Time and chance happen to all men. | The sun rises and sets, and we see it when the | sky is clear; but the little boy grows up into a man and he knows it not, until he wants a wile, a horse, and asegar. As it is with dogs and little | boys, so it is with nations, peoples, and tongues. Mrs. B. and my liule boy, attended by her ser- vants and courier, have just set out for Italy, where she will be absent a few weeks. J remain here to arrange the notes of my European tour, to write out my sketches and views, and to transmit them by the next steamers to New York. I have | much to say on every thing, which I have not seen touched upon before by travellers generally. Lhave been over the greater part of Europe, been in all their principal capitals, have seen and heard much that is new, odd, and ridiculous. Gener- ally the people of Europe have no just concep- tion of the United States, or of its mighty destiny The statesmen, princes, and financiers have more correct notions. They have the best means of intelligence—but they tear our influence, they hate our institutions, they begin to dread our power, and they are becoming restless and fidgitty, like a pack of hounds in the presence of a full grown young lion, who has just finished his meal, and is licking his lips with an easy and good natured air. Louis Philippe has some lingering feelings of kindness towards the Americans, but his family has no such sentiment, and don’t hesi- | tate to show their dislike, almost bordering on contempt. I saw this sentimentin avery marked shape at the presentations last January. The Mexican war has increased this dislike and dread among the higher classes ; but the people, the masses, the mechanics, the men of science and literature, excepting those who are bought and bribed, are all with America, heart, soul, body and boots. The financial classes are rather hos- | tile to the United States, although they make money by us. The race of the Rothchilds dis- like America very much. ‘Tur Macgponian.—Thi ip came down the East River yesterday, in gallant style, towed by the steamers Herald and United States. Thou- sands and thousands lined the doeks, rigging of ships, and the shores, cheering her on her course, and following her with blessings. We learn trom the Commodore that he has received advices of 20,000 bushels of corn at Albany, and we have seen a letter from Boston to a gentleman in this city, by which it is now certain that the Macedo- nian will receive a full cargo from our enterpris- ing commercial rival. The opening of the river will, we hope, save the city from the stigma of defeat in this great struggle for the palm of mer- ey. The ship looks like a “ leviathan afloat,” as she lays at pier No. 4, North River, and we can- not but compliment Com. De Kay for the energy and perseverance he has displayed in procuring her for this purpose. We are told he considers his present command, though only a single mer- chantman, more honorable than a whole fizet of men-of-war, for the purpose of destroying life. Large rrom Hayn.—By the schooner Mary Ellen, from Gonaives, we have additional intel- naives on the 3d inst., on which day Capt. Smith | dent. Capt. S.does not remember the name of the new incumbent, but states that there was | much rejoicing when the result was made known. | ‘Theatricals. Panx Tukatax.—Mr. Forrest had a very large and fashionable attendance at the Park, last evening, to wit- ness his personation of the character of Damon, in the play of “Damon and Pythias.” Of course, bis acting geve general satisfaction, and was ioudly applauded through. | out. He will ear this evel in the tragedy “King Lear.” who desire to wi this éhaste classical actor, in some of his best and most ed ters, must avail themselves of the four remaining a of his el pera It is an agreeable treat, after ‘he toils of the day, to sce an actor of merit and accom: lishment—one whose name is familiar to and respected | by the lovers of the legitimate dramain both eres juch en actor is Mr. Forrest. The comedy of isa Women?” will_be added to “King Leer” this e evening. Bowery Tuxatns.—That celebrated and popular tra- gedian, Mr E 8.Conner, will take a benefit at the Bow- ery theatre this evening; and for the purpose of leaving his friends, as well as the public generally, without en excuse for not attending, he has put forth a bill thet will ensure him a benefit worth having. The much ad- mired drama called ‘‘ Margaret of Burgundy, expressly for Mr. Conner ; the Scotch drama, “ Wal- lace, orthe Hero of Scotland,” and the favorite piece “Paul Jones, or the Hero of the German Ocean,” will all be performed. This is sufficient, together with the opportunity which the patrons of this establishment now have of testifying their sppreciation of Mr Conner’s ta- lents, to fill the old ywery, large and capacious though it is. Cd Bowery Cincus.—If there never was a jam in the Bowery Circus, there will assuredly be one this evening, because the receipts are set apart for the benefit of the Widow Downie, and also because there will be a splen- did cup presented from the , to the author of the best Segre hie Sue a es th .

Mr. Murdoch and Miss Logan appeared at the Louis- ville Theatre om Friday evening last inthe “Lady of Lyons.” Mr.Henkins was playing at the same house. The Albanians have Dan Marble, Mr. Warren ond Miss | St. Clair at the Museum, and M’lle. Dimier at the Odeon. Rockwell & Co’s. excellent company of Fquestrians and Gymnastic performers are still at the Sudbury Stree: cire' joston, where they drew large audiences. Barney Williams, the Irish comedian, has been draw- ing full houses at Louisville and Cincinnati, and is nuw in Pittsburgh. We wish him success. Musical. Ivattan Orens.-To night the beautiful opera of Linda di Chamounix” will be presented, in which both Pico and Barili sing. There is a quiet sort of charm about “Linda,” a something that pleases exceedingly, without making uny bold appeal to the fancy. It is rather one of those operss that addresses the milder feelings and car- ries us along quietly; yet there is nothing tame, no lack of incidents; but tho incidents themselves are of a less pretending character than those ome of the operas to which we ha tely listened beautiful airs thet are introduced all along through the work will be given to-night, as they have heretotore, with excellent effect An occesional transposition of music in the part of Pierotte, takes nothing from its beauty. Gaanv Concert of Sacred Music at tHe Taper. wacie.—The company of Italian singers now performing at Pals Opera House, propore to give a concert of sacred music at the Broadway Tabernacle, on the Even. ing of Saturday, April 3d. ‘This concert is given mainly to afford an opportunity for those who are ‘80 t. tending the Opera, to hear them sing. Thisis an excel lent move, and will no doubt result in a handsome profit te the singers. There are very many who have cultiva- ted music te a considerable extent, and who are delight: ed to hear good singing, and yet who are rigid in their anti-theatre going principles, and hence deny themselves the pl of ring the exquisite performances at the ores. ‘They will rejoice at the opportunity thus af- forded them of liatening to the warbling of Barili, the un. surpassed tenos of Benedetti, and the rich powerful bars it ventano.

The plaintiff denies this You will, therefore, examine the mom and meke your estimate accord- ingly, and whatever that may be, the defendants are en titled to credit for it. The next question for you to de- termine is, whether the contract itself was changed by any subsequent agreement. There is no direct proof that any © fe took place in it; but the defendants’ counsel insists that the correspondence between th ae shows that there was—for @ solution then, you must look to th correspo! nd it in evi @ his notes upon receipt itnesses have been called r pment, and coversh that it wasthe o to pro iom of the trade; and you will os by their evidence, that the purchaser of coals gives bis , payal in four months, upon the of each chypment.

The money market hes, for a few days past, been a little easier than usual, on eccount of the limited demand for specie from the banks, for psyment into the custom house, the importations recently having beon exceedingly limited We have had but one or two European packet | ships in for the past week or two, and there must be nearly a dozen due; the arrival of which must add very largely to our importations, and swell the revenue ‘rem customs very much. We shall then see another turn in the screws of the money market, another pressure in fancy stooks, and a greater accumulation of specie in the hands of the sub- treasurer of this city.
