NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Mouday, March 29, 1847. The Attack on Vera Cruz. It is uncertain whether the attack on Vera Cruz took place betore the 20th March. If it did we may expect the news every hour. Ifitdid not take place till the 20th, we must receive it in a very tow days. Be this 98 it may, we shall receive tidings of it within an hour after they are received at Wash. ington, and afterwards we shall receive full and complete details from our correspondents in the army under Gen. Scott, and in the navy under Commodores Connor and Perry. Within half an | hour after we shall have received intelligence of the result of this great naval and military de~ | monstration, we shall publish it in an Extra Herald. We can safely, we think, say in advance, that Vera Cruz and 8. Juan de Ulta, are now in the possession of our arms. We intend, for the benefit of such of our sub- scribers in this city, and elsewhere, as are inte- rested incommerce or business of any kind, to | publish from day to day, during the business season and the whole year, if necessary, a com- | plete list of the names of the strangers arriving in this city, which we will take from the books | of ali the public hotels. We may also publish the | arrivals of produce from the country. These | lists will be of great value to our business men, who have long deplored the want of this in- formation, in full, in the daily papers. MQ. BENNETTS LETTERS PROM EUROPE. | ‘The Apparent Reconciiintion between Lord | Normanby and M, Guizot—Russia and the United States—European Alliances. Panis, March 1, 1847. A great and important event took place on the day before yesterday in Paris—Saturday, this be- ing Monday. This remarkable occurrence was nothing less than the formal and apparent recon- ciliation of Lord Normanby end M. Guizot—the resumption of friendly relations between the | haughty English peer and the amiable French philosopher. Let a tower of Babel be built up to | | cluded upon. storming Vera Cruz, and the fortress the south of Europe by the policy of France, hereafter seek fresh alliances and more perma- nent combinations in the north—with Prussia— with Holland—with Denmark—with Sweden— perchance with Russsia, In Prussia a first step hundred and si tur | and indirectly, has just been made in the direction of consti tional government—the convoking of a nations; diet, or States general, in the early part of next month. This movement in Prussia has created a great sensation in England, and indeed over all will | service of the gove' ment F | | according to this list, is, forty-six ships, twenty- western Europe. There is an evident restless- | nessin the minds of men in this quarter of the ! world, which must find a vent somewhere, one of jose da} Vesu: and tna generally give some intimation before aneruption. The old and new dynasties of western and central Europe are | giving way to the spirit of the age, bit by bit. From the frontiers of Russia to the shores of the Atlantic, these ideas are growing and fermen- ting. Itisa singular fact, nevertheless it is true, that in Russia and in the United States alone, are the forms of government and the institutions of | society considered, permanent, settled, and satis- factory to their respective people. Their calm- Yet the one isa pure despotism, and the other a pure democracy. A country with a government and institutions at any point between these two extremes, is in a continual ferment—in a constant state of excitement—in one eternal conflict, that never will end till either one or the other extremes | isreached. The time is coming when either Rus- sia must overrun ail Europe to the ocean, and create a mighty modern empire on the ancient Roman model, or Europe will become a great family of republics, and overrun Russia, and blot out her present existence. In the meantime, let the people of the UnitedjStates, till then, get the highest prices for their corn and cotton. The American Fleet in the Gulf. At the time when the administration had con- of S. Juan de Ulia, and were engaged in making preparations for the purpose, we compiled and published a list of the several vessels ot war that it was supposed would take part in the attack, to- gether with their classification and armament. Since the publication of that table, we have discovered thut several other vessels have been detailed for the Guif service. We now publish heaven. It took place in a very curious way, and | wasa sort of surprise upon Normanby. Proba- bly the English and French papers may givea version of the affair, but I doubt if they will give the whole story. 1 have it from a gentleman con- nected with the press, who had it from one of the | employées of the Tuilleries—one of the agents of | the kirg himself, { Louis Philippe is determined to restore some | sort of friendly relations between France and | England, in their respective governments, and Louis Philippe is the man who sticks to his pur- poses till he accomplishes them. Some of the London journals have been very savage in their attacks upon the king—publishing articles upon his conduct which would not be allowed in the French papers. A general system of attack upon the French monarchy, as now constituted, carried on in the Lendon journals, would almost produce as great a popular excitement in Paris and in France, during the present day, as might have been effected only by the Paris journals alone at the close of the last century. Such is the proxi- mity of the two capitals, caused by railroadsjand steam—such is the rapid intellectual action and re-action of both, that hereafier the unanimous effort by the press of one metropolis, may have | g; power enough to produce a revolution in the other. Hence the deep interest which the French king has in restoring the friendly relations of the two governments, so as to smooth down and re- move the violent attacks of the London journals upon his conduct and his policy. | Accordingly, Leopold of Belgium, came here a | few days ago for the purpose, it is said, of endea- } voring to restore the social relations, in some way, between M. Guizot and Lord Normanby.— | Leopuld isa sort of go-between, or mediator, of | the two sovereigns of France and England, he hav- ing @n intimate personal relationship with each. | It was arranged, therefore, at the palace, that M. | Guizot and Normanby should be brought together, | on some neutral ground, when the former would | take the opportunity to explain and apologise to | the Jatter for the speech he recently made in the Chamber, and to express that it was the farthest | trom his intention to impeach the veracity of Nor- | meaby in that celebrated harangue. The place | selected was the salons of the Austrian ambn' dor, Count d’Apponay, and the time, at 5 o’clock | on Saturday afternoon last. M. Guizot was in- | duced by the king to visit the Austrian embassy | at that hour, having learned that Lord Nor- manby had made an appointment for an inter- | view with Count D’Apponay at the same time.— | It seems, however, that Normanby was not aware of the plan himself—it had been projected by | Louis Philippe, that quiet, shrewd, cunning old fox, with the consent of Guizot and Count D’Ap- | ponay. So certain was this arrangement of being car- | 4 ried into effect, that the secret employées of the | palace went round on Saturday morning to all the correspondents of the London press who are stationed in this capital, telling them that a very important transaction was to take place that after- noon, and wishing to make a commaunication of its result for publication in their several journals | jn London, on the Monday following. This sin- gular intimation was given to the London news- paper correspondents in Paris, before the trans- action itself took place, and shows the importance and use of the newspaper press as an element in | diplomacy and the art of government. | Accordingly, at five o’clock on Saturday after- | noon, while Lord Normanby was engaged with | Count D’Apponay, at the Austrian embassy, | who should be announced and make his appearance, but M. Guizothimeelf, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs. Normanby was not allowed to recover his surprise, or get rid of his embarrassment, before M. Guizot went up to him in the most cordial manner’ enquired for his health, and then started off in warm and full explanation of his good feelings and high respect towards him, aud so on, and so on. Lord Normanby received these explanations with a good deal of cold dignity, but outwardly appeared to be satisfied. Whether this step on the part of the amiable M. Guizot will lead to the restoration of good feel- i ngs between the two governments, appears to be very much doubted. No one can doubt the de- sire of Louis Philippe and his foreign minister to restore the lost friendship of England, for they won the Spanish prize; but Lord Palmerston. | who has lost the odd trick, a8 well as his Jittle modicum of temper, is one of the most terrible fire-eaters among the diplomatists of Europe. I, is now asserted that Palmerston has given notice to the French embassy in London, that since the Spanish marriage, the quadruple alliance is at an end. It will be recollected that this alliance was # treaty between the existing dynasties of France, England, Spain and Portugal, by which the two former powers were bonnd to maintain and de- fond the rights of the Queens of Spain and of Portu- al, against the claims ot Don Carlos and his son and of Don Miguel and his valet. If the Eng. lish government has taken this step, it will soon be followed by insurrections and revolutions ai! over the Peninsula. Portugal is already in a state of insurrection—a sort of republican movement— and Spain will soon follow. Preparations are making in both these countries for fresh revolu- tions, and if England should leave them to their owa passions, France will be involved in inextri_ cable difficulties and complications. ‘ny the meantime, it is believed that the English .overmment, while driven from its alliances with | | it complete :— Unitep States Navat Fores in tHe Gur oF zxtco.

And soener than fail in accomplishing all that was ex- pected, both would, toa man, perish. SineuiaR anp Mgtancuoty AccipEnt.—A sin- gular and fatal acciddnt occurred on the Spring- field and Worcester Railroad, early en Saturday morning last. It appears that whilst the train ‘was on its way, the wire ofthe telegraph, in some wayor other, got entangled with the locomotive, and before it was discovered it threw off three of the hands, killing one immediately, and injuring another so much that it was found necessary to amputate hisarm. The name of the unfortunate man who was killed is Coleman, one of the brakemen. The third one was considerably, though not dangerously, hurt. It is not known in what manner the accident occurred. None of the telegraph posts were down, and besides, the railroad and telegraph are parallel to each other. News rrom Boston —We are indebted to Mr. Dennis, and Phillips & Co., of the New Haven route, and to Adams & Co, for the latest Boston papers.

Bowzay Tuxataz.—We cannot say that we ever saw a more attractive bill put forth by the indomitably per- severing manager of the Bowery Theatre, than what he puts forth to-night, It consists of a romance entitled the “Robbers ef Bohemis, or the Parricide and the Stu- dent”— the comedy of “' Yellow Kids,” which is one of the best ever put on that stege, and the favorite drama of “ Yew Tree Ruins.” It is unnecessary to say an thing in favor of this bill. It carries its character wit it, and will certainly fill the house. Mr. Booth’s benefit is set apart for We Bowear Ciacus——Kemp, the great clown and panto- mimist, advertises that be will cause the sides of the people to split with laughing at his novel and ludicrous performances on the barrel this evening.

Mr. Thorburn asserted that the sale of seeds in the establishment in Fulton street amount. ‘ed to $25,000 for the last year. A communication was read from Alex.

He also recommended ato seed to be saved from the points of the potato stalk. Mr. Thorburn sta that he had received an order from the Emperor of Rus- ia, requiring a quartity of potato seed ; that he procured ands from Connecticut, at $10 a pound, and sold it fe agent for $20apound.

Sunday, March 28—6 P.M. | it is very seldom we see at thisjseason of the year £0 | littly activity in the stock market. It is very unusual at | any season. Prices for most of the fancies have been | gradually, but steadily, settling down during the past six weeks, and the tendency is still to a lower depth. ‘The downward movement will not be arrested unti! these stocks have reached a level corresponding more with their real value. It would be avery difficult thing to tell what this value is, as it varies very materially from time to time. Take, for instance, railroad stocks upon which dividends have never been paid, and in all human probability never will be paid, embarrassed with large | debts, liable at any moment to be demanded, the incomes | ef which have reached their maximum, what would be | the real value of such stocks in the market? There are | several of these in Wall street, and there are specule- | tors in that vicinity desperate enough to pay or agree > to pay forty, fifty and sixty percent forthem. These | operators, however, do not keep these stocks any | longer than they can possibly help. They are not | purchased for investment, but for the purpose of | holding fer an advance. It matters, therefore, very | little to this class of speculators, whether these stocks | have any actual value or not; if they can draw in outsiders upon an advance, they are very sure to give them every share they want, an! then leave them to get rid of their supplies at their leisure. Thousands upon thousand of shares of fancy railroad and other fallow stocks, are this moment in the hands of outsiders, pur- chased at prices much above thore now current. These stocks\are daily fiading their way into the market, the holders having abandoned every hope of realizing prices paid, and preferring to part wich them at present quote- tions, than to run the risk of a groater loss ultimately. In view of the existing state of our financial affairs, this is a very wise conclusion. Underthe existing financial system of the government it is impossible to get up an inflation inany of the fancy stocks; but, on the contrary, there is | every probebility of a contraction‘in the currency,which | will sweep many of them out ofexistence. There is now | no surplus revenue of the government, amounting to ten | or twelve millions of dollars, in the hands ofthe banks, to | be loaned to stock speculators. The banks huve not the | power of expansion heretofore enjoyed and so freely used, and there are not, therefore, those incentives to or those facilities for epeculating, which have hitherto been so abundant. The government is in the morket for a loan of eighteen | | ceived until the 10th of April next. It is the general | impression in the financial circles of this city, thet the whole loan will be bid for upon favorable terms. This impression is confirmed by the high prices ruling for the Dew government stock and treasury notes now in the market. From present appearances we should judge that the government would scon be in want of alarge portion of the eighteen millions. The surplus now in hand is only sufficient to keep good the deposit, vir., $4,000,000, required by the Secretary fof the Treasury: ‘The revenue from customs for several weeks past, bas boen,unusually limited, hardly sufficiency to meet the | ordinary expenditures of the government. Tho expen- | qitures on account of the war ba’ been, or are likely soon to be, very much increased by the increase of the army and navy, and the government is ina fair way of becoming en applicant, for a larger amount of money than the Secretary of the Treasury calculated upon ‘The money market cannot but be materially affected b; 'y | lengthen the war, or to an increase of the force in the ces of the Treasury, and make the government a large, creditor in the market. So long as the government stock commands a premium, capital will be drawn from other employ mentsand seek that inv: ent,and any amount o mouey can be obtained upon such security. Other thing will have to suffer, to furnish a supply for the demand from that quarter, and there is every prospect of a scarci- ty of money in the channels of commerce from this couse. The resumption of navigation on our rivers, canals and | lakes, must give a start to the immense stocks of bread, | stuffs, &c., which have throughout the winter been acc mulating at the different depots. The large quantities | which ere long will be filling our warehouses, will not only require the most active use of all the cepitals of those engage inthe business, but will increase the de- mand upon our banks beyond any thing we have yet ex- and there is every probability of the receipts of produce zens are now dail; horses take their p1 are to commence on Sund: y enjoying the sport of seeing the reparstory work for the races, which next—N.

There waa some increased firmness in the corn market. Seles were freely made, and in some cases ata slight advance. Transactions in flour were wade toa mode- rate extent, without material change in prices. The lots of Genesee seld, were chiefly made for delivery in April and May, at $7 12}¢ for tho early part of the former month, and at $625 for all of the latter. The wheat market was quiet, without change in prices. Provisions remained without change, with limited sales at abou previous rates, for fair qualities. Grocoiies were also | quiet. Owing to the inclemency of the weather during the forenoon, out door busizess was almost entirely checked. From the increased demand for corn meal, as ‘an article of export, if we wish to maintain ite repute tion abroad as a permanent article of food, it is absolutely necessary that greater attention should bo paid to its preparation for market. For many years corn was kiln dried and ground into meal, almost exclusively forthe West India markets. Since the vast and sudden demand for it .which hes sprung up abroad, in the hurry of active sales, and rapid exports, we fear much has gone forward in a very bad condition, calcu.ated, on reaching the country, te cast discredit on its character 13 a wholesome material of food, which it really is, and thus to injure our trade for the future — Some manufacturers, who have taken pains in preparing it,wall, hereatter, likely, be rewarded by better prices and @ greater demand for what they ship, than will be obteined by others less careful. The Brandywine meal generally commands from 12}¢ to 25 cents per bbl. more than New Jersey. Thechief difference consists in the method of preparation, for the raw material is as good in one place asthe other. In preparing it for shipment it is said that corn of good sound quality should be ted and freed from all impurities, and then carefully kiln-dried. On being well ground, it should be neatly sifted or bolted — A hair soive or, bolting cloth is said to onswerin some cases. When thus prepared, it should be carefully pack- ed in neat and well secured tierces or bbis, and the man- ufacturer’s brand,in legible characters, inscribed on their heads. Asnes—There was no henge in prices. Pots moved | in small quantities, while pear! were dull at $6 26. The entire stock of both sorts in the two principal ware- houses, amounts to about 1900 bbls.
