"The Next Arrival from Europe. ; We inadvertently stated yesterday, in an artl- cle on the news received by the Caledonia, that the American steamship Washington left South- ampton on the first instant, and would be due here next week. Such isnot the case, because Captain Hewitt had decided upon having the hotwells of the machinery enlarged before he left, which would perhaps take several days to accomplish, and fixed upon the 10th as the day of sailing. We may, with confidence, expect the Washington on or about the 22dinst. The next arrival will be that of the Britannia, at Bos- She left Liverpool on the 4th inst. The News trom Mexico. The thousand and one rumors of peace which have been flying over the country in every di- rection for some time past, received their quie- tus yesterday in the news from the seat of war, and published in this day’s paper. In- stead of the probability of an early peace be- ing concluded, the likelihood now is, that it is us far off as ever, and that another bloody con- flict will probably take place between the oppos- ing armies of the two countries, before General Scott can enter the capital. ‘We cannot say that we are in the least degree disappointed at the purport of this news, never having credited these peaceru mors. Our corres- pondent at Washington has as good facilities of obtaining information as any person in that city, and he never imentioned a syllable on the subject or referred to these rumors till to- day, as may be seen in his letter, and then only to contradict them. We are probably as far from obtaining a peace as we ever were; and instead of Gen. Scott taking unobstructed and quiet possession of the capital, every inch of the way has likely been contested, and a determined effort made by the Mexicans to annihilate him. This is startling news,when we place it in contrast with what we have been receiving from the war quarter for some time past. The enemy is determined, it appears, to risk every thing in another battle, on the issue of which will depend the possession of his capital. We cannot conceive, however, how itis possible tor the Mexicans to make such great preparations for defence, as we are informed by the news they are making.— We heard that, at the battle of Cerro Gordo, Santa Anna concentrated all his resources of military material, and there he wasdefeated, with the loss of all. We were told likewise that there were no means of defence left to him, that all the cannon of the country had come into our possession. Yet now we hear of the enemy act- ing on the offensive, and preparing to attack General Scott at three different points, and that the capital is to be defended with seventy or ninety pieces of artillery, made of the bellsgof the churches. If this news be true, the resources of the Mex- icans have been underrated, and the next news will, therefore, be looked for with increased in- terest and anxiety. Steam Navigation in Sourn America.—The National Congress of the Republic of Vene- zuela, South America, having granted to Mr. Vespasian Ellis, acitizen of the United States, and to such persons as may become associated with him, the exclusive by of navigating the rivers Orinoco and Apure by steam, for the term of eighteen years, that gentleman, we per- ceive, is soliciting the attention of men of capi- tal to the subject, and inviting them to co-ope- rate with him in carrying out the enterprise. The first considerations which the contempla- tion of this grant suggests, are the present re- sources of the country—the extent of territory bordering on the Orinoco, its productions, and its present trade. ‘ 5 i he valley of the Orinoco is, in many respects, like the valley of the Mississippi in our own country. It covers an area of four hundred thousand square miles of land, yielding the richest products of the earth, such as cocoa, cof- fee, indigo, tobacco, sugar, horses brazilwood, &c., &c., and watered by a hundred streams, many of which are navigable. The climate is temperate and salubrious. The Orinoco is navi- able for four hundred leagues, and its principal franches, the Guaviare, Meta,Caroni, and Apure, are likewise navigable. The total amount of exports from the valley of the Orinoco, in the year, was two millions of dollars; a vast amount when we consider thata great B he ble of the produce of the country is carried to the seaboard, hundreds of miles, and across mountains and valleys, by means of mules. Notwithstanding the want of steam communica- tion’on the Orinoco and its tributaries, we find that the trade of the country is increasing at a surprising rate. [n 1832 the exports from Angostu- ma were about $152,000, while in 1844 they were upwards of $600,000, and the exports for the first uarter of the present year amounted to $400,- $00—showing a surprisingly rapid increase, in the face of the obstacles which trade has to con- tend with there. The ratio of increase will no doubt be quadrupled every year from the time that Mr Lilis will have his steam vessels navi- gating those rivers; for besides, the regular trade a large additional trade can, be carried on with New Granada, the Orinoco being navigable for steamboats to + pe within one hundred and twenty miles of Bogota, the capital. In fact, the Orinoco is not only the natural outlet for the produce of three-fourths of Venezuela, but also of that of Eastern New Granada, and Northern Brazil, the freight of which, at the rates fixed by thegrant of Mr. Ellis, would annually amount toa very handsome sum. The estimated sum that would annually accrue from freight upwards for the first two years,is forty thousand dollars—on the article of domestic salt, fifty thousand dollars—for passengers forty thou- sand dollars—and on downward er for ag- ricultural productions, horses, mules, &c , eighty thousand dollars, making in all two hundred and ten thousand dollars yearly, on the present trade of the valley ; all of which would be car- ried by steamboats. “ It is proposed by Mr. Ellis to commence ope- rations with two steamers, of three hundred tons burden each, the expenses of which, including e charge, he estimates, would not nty thousand dollars annually, leav- ing a profitof one hundred and forty thousand dollars annually for the first two years, This estimate, it must be recollected, is based on the present me and import trade of the country. and it would of course increase with the aug- mentation and expansion of trade that. would follow the introduction of steam navigation. It is the opinion of Mr. Ellis that, to keep pace with the increasing commerce of the Ori- noco, it will be meyer to increase the num- ber of steamboats on the rivers which he has procured the exclusive right to navigate, to five or six, or more. nf The amount of tal requisite to commence this great enterprise is two hundred thousand dollars, and Mr. Ellisis desirous of associating with him a company who] can command that sum, and are willing to invest it at once; for be it known, that unless he has the details of the enterprise carried out and in operation before eighteen months from the month of May last, the grant will be vitiated. Unless application shall be made to him within a few weeks by a company possesssng the means, it is his intention to form a joint stock company fixing the shares at one thoueand dollars each. We think, how- ever, that he will not be forced to adopt the alter- native, because we are confident that he will find men possessing the necessary means to join him in the enterprise. _ in addition to the grant of the right of exclu- sive navigation, it is provided in the grant, that the enterprise shail be exempt from alfrpanicipal toa ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP UNION. VERY LATE INTELLIGENCE. OPENING OF A NEW ERA IN OUR COMMBURCE WITH FRANCE SPECIAL DESPATCHES NEW YORK HERALD OFFIOE. ie. dic, Sits, The Union, Captain Herbert, the pioneer of the French line of Ocean Mail Steamers, arrived yesterday from Cherbourg, France, after a fine passage of sixteen days. She left that port on the 22d ult. She came up the bay in the afternoon between 5 and 6 o’clock, in beautiful style, and fired the national salute when near the city. She was cheered by the passengers and crews of the va- rious vessels which she passed. The Union has a black hull, and three masts, and appears very much like the Great Western. She moves handsomely, and came up the bay with good speed, and took her place at the Great Western’s dock in the East River. The impression made by the new comer as she entered the harbor was decidedly favorable, and the officers and passengers seemed greatly pleased with all that they saw and heard. Thus the new era in our commercial relations with La Belle France may be said to have fairly ar- rived, and hereafter we are to look for the French steamers as regularly as for the English mail packets. This new line of steamers is composed of the following ships, each of four hundred and fifty horse power :— Union, Philadelphia, & The second steamer of this line, the Philadel- phia, was at Cherbourg. The intelligence brought by the Union is of very little importance. We are indebted to Mr. Wm. G. Hersey for late English, and to Dr. D. L. Neé for late French papers. The Chamber of Deputies was occupied on the 18th ult., with the bill destined to prolong the law passed last February, for the free entry, un- der all flags, of foreign grain. This law, as it originally stood, would have expired on the 31st October, reserving to the ministry the power of prolonging it by an ordinance, if this term should seem insufficient. The Chamber of Commerce of Strasbourg has just received advice from Mayence that the pro- position of the French Commissary to transport grain, flour, and dry vegetables free of the Rhine river duty, has been accepted by all the river governments, provisionally, until the 1st of September next. The price of bread in Paris was fixed as fol- lows from the 17th June :—Bread of the first quality 58 centimes the kilogramme; 2d do 50 centimes the kilogramme. It is a diminution of 8 centimes for the first qualtty, and of 4 centimes for the second. The Greco-Turkish difficulty is terminated by the submission of Greece to the conditions im- posed by Turkey. The French Chamber of Peers, at the com- mencement of its session, on the 18th of June, received a communication, by a message from the Chamber of Deputies, which authorised the proceedings against M. Emile de Girardin, and it has ordered that M. Girardin; shall appear at its bar in four days, that is to say on the 22d of June. The Belgian journals announce that King Leo- pold will leave for London on the 21st or 22d of June, if his State will permit him. The harvests in France promise an abundant yield. ° It is with pleasure that we announce the re- ceipt of the first series of our correspondence from the continent of Europe. As the day of the departure of the French sieamer will in fu- ture be regular, our despatches will hereafter be written up to the latest moment. The Special Despatches. Panis, June 15, 1847. We are now drawing close to the termination of the parliamentary session, and the public asks, and asks in vain, what has been done? There is no government in any country in the world, not even in Austria itself, so conservative as that of the present Cabinet of France. It verifies strictly thejmotto ascribed to it by its op- ponents. Rien, rien, rien. “Nothing, nothing, no- thing.” It literally does nothing. It belongs to what is here called the conservative party, but what in Ame- rica would be called a stationary party. The administrative part of the United States govern- ment has been often spoken of as being liable to corrup- tion, peculation,'malversation, and abuse of patronage; but the worst charges against it sink into insignificance, compared with those recently brought before the public, and the Chambers, against the governments here, past and present. An enquiry is now in progress, before the Chamber of Peers, in which a former minister is charged with granting certain rights and privileges to a mining company, in consideration of receiving shares in the said company gratis, to the amount in value of about 260,000 dollars. This is what is spoken of as the Cu- bidres affair; General Cubitres, a Peer of France, having been the person through whose instrumentality the ne- gotiation was conducted. This enqniry had not pro- ceeded far, when, to the astonishment of the public, and the consternation of the Cabinet, M. Emile de Gi: a member of the Chamber of Deputies, and _ princi ben 9, org’ of the nee called La Presse, published in that peper s direct charge against the present Cabinet, the substance of which Paes in fact, that they had opened a shop for the sale of every description of ministerial patronage and favor, and at which there was even a regular tariff of prices. The circumstances which led to this extraordi: disclosure are curious, and exhibit, in a striking point of view, th vast influence ascribed to journalism fr France. year @ newspaper on an unusually large scale of magni tude, and advancing the most extravagant pretensions, was started in Paris, called the Epoque. ‘This was soon known as @ ministerial journal, and was understood to be more particularly the personal organ of M, Guizot. After being continued for several months, the circula- tion, though considerable, falling far short of the ex- penses, and the shareholders becoming impatient under the calls coming rapidly upon them, and hearing of no dividends even in prospect, meetings were held,at which it was finally resolved to sell the enterprise by auction. This was accordingly done, and M. Emile de Girardin became the purchaser of the good will, the subscription list, and all the goods and chattles of the unfortunate, Epoque. He incorporated it with the Presse, and so ended the fe bd A few months later M. de Girardin, who is one of the leaders of that party in Chambers called the “ young conservatives” by some, and the ‘ pro- gressive conservatives” by others, and who had with that party generally So M, Guizot’s ministry being ‘ly worn out by its stationary policy, deserted it, divi- ded against it on several questions in the Chambers, und finally became the most bitter political opponents of their former friend, M. Guisot, in the Chambers and in the Presse, La Presse which lately had advocated the measures of M. Guisot now opposed him; and like all egades from a party, the most bitter and pitiless of all his opponents. Matters being brought is state, there within the last few weeks the article in Presse, already mentioned, the cabinet, (in express with permitting a eee to be sola and de claring that the editors of that journal were in inves oan on} an the Epe nt ars that on purl din ‘ound in the books and uments of evidence that ev at ite buresux—privil sions for public com; mi crosses of the legion of honor, and,in fine, blank promises e peerage!

It was a sort of douceur, paid to the journal its interest in attaining the objects of the payer of the fee. Just as people, who confer favors, sometimes wink at their servants receiving gratification from those on whom the favor is conferred, When this announcement appeared in La Presse, it was ih rrp b noticed in the Chamber of Peers; and that part of it which related to the all ‘sale of promises of the Feaeren wee pecmcensed te & high contempt of that House; and a motion was made, that M, Exaile de contributions, and from all national duties on importing the steamers, tackle, &c., and that Mr. Kilis and his associates shall have the pri- vilege of cutting fuel free of charge.

This has damped the spirit of the shop classes, and all who live on the dis- bursements of whose chief business is amusement. London has robbed Paris of most of the theatrical stars. The grand opera, formerly go celebrated for the geor- ‘and, its magnificent body of artists, now et, fides its diminished head before the Queen's ‘Theatre and the Royal Italian Opera House. In fact it offers no attraction either to the resident or the visiter.

The results which had been anticipated by all well in- formed persons as consequent on the Royal concluded by King Louis Philippe and the Queen Dowa- levelope th ves, The Queen Isa- oo to ~ la and her consort are in fact separated. ‘They are domiciled miles asunder. Mutual aversion is the feel- ing which has followed these unballowed nuptials,which have had assuredly no honey-moon. ‘The marriage bed will, of course, be barren; and unless the cunning of the French Ki ave overreached itself,the reigning Queen is only the locum-tenens of the throne, which bis daugh- ter-in-law and ber children must ultimately occupy. ‘The prince consort has for some time back occupied 4 royal at some distance from Madrid, called the Pardo, where he is surrounded yy 8 coterie hostile to the Queen and her cabinet. He is the object of frequent visite and axsiduous attentions from the French Ambassador, the Duke of leer be: Miles & exertion has been made on the part of the ide of the Queen to induce him to return to the same roof with her Majesty, so as at least not to present to the world the scandal cf'en open separation. These attempts have been ineffectual — Meanwhile the young Queen attaches to her person the fallen Don Francisco and one of the sisters, the Imfanta Joasela, of her consort. In all her rides and drives she is accompanied by these, and they are domesticated in the palace. When she makes a visit to any of the sum- mer residences they invariably accompany her. Her mother, Queen Christine, who, it will be remem- bered, was some time since obliged to quit Spainin con- sequence of the unconstitutional influence she attempt- ed to exercise in the palace, has lately applied for per- mission to return to Madrid. ‘The ministry intimated that on their part no opposition would be made to such a step, but it was ascertained by the friends of the Queen mother that the reception she must expect from her daughter would not be such as would prove ‘ble to her. On this hint she decided sgainst returning, and is now at Paris. The Queen Dowager has just returned to France from a visitto Naples. ‘Tho professed object of which was te see her brother, the king of the two Sicilies, and the other members of her family. She had hardly arrived there when she departed for Reme. It is understood that the reception she met with from her family, was not of a very cordial kind. Indeed, according to some re- ports, they declined to receive her at all. On her re- turn she stopped four days at Rome, where she had a private audience of the ope, the object. of which is said to be to supplicate His Holiness not to grant the divorce which her daughter, Queen Isabella, is understood to have applied for. ‘The present ministry here, is, in politics, of a shade between the tory and the radical. A sort of juste- milieu, as itis called in France. Its stability, however, is very doubtful, and it seems probable that ere long there will be a modification in the liberal direction. ‘The conservatives or the moderado party, as they are here called, who were so unceremoniously dismissed by the queen some months ago, appear little likely to re- cover office. The court of Rome, which, since the accession of the resent quees, held no dipleasatio relations with Spain, just sent a legate, M. Brugneile, to Madrid. This step is considered highly detrimental, if not totally de- structive to the ho; ‘of the Count de Montemolino. A divorce, followed by a of the Queen with the Count de Montemolino, would appear to be » solution of the Spanish question, which would satisfy all interests; but the state of parties in this country would at present be violently opposed to such a coalition. Lisnow, June 10, 1847. The efforts of the Portuguese people to resist the as- sumption of arbitrary power by the Queen, have had a result not anticipated. Tosay they have failed and that they are crushed by foreign intervention, would not be strictly true, since the English government has imposed eonditions on the Queen in favor of the liberal party.— The capture of Das Owley, and the forces of the Junta off Oporto, was » pi ing, the origin of which was not at first apparent. In fact, it was a mode of accepting the intervention of England; which, from reasons con- nected with the state of parties, could not have been freely and openly assented to. Although a free and oon- stitutional government, exempt from all objections, will not be established at Lisbon, still a large portion of the objects of the movement of last October will have been obtained. The complete failure of the coup d’etat, the impotence of Spain to aid the Queen in carrying it out; the change of ministry in that country; the check exer- cised by England on the other parties to the quadruple alliance, and the narrow escape that Donna Maris has had of losing her throne, altogether, will serve asa warn- ing to her in future against similar violent proceedings. Meanwhile free institutions will grow and strengthen in Portugal, and the pcople will learn the proper use and exercise, and the true nature and value of their rights, so that any future attempt made by tho sovereign to encroach on them, will be still more successfully re- alsted, ‘The great: aim of England has been to prevent Spain and France, by separate interference, establishing » foot- ing in Portugal. The chances of the Duchess of Mont- nsier succeeding to the throne of Spain, render the British government more and more tenacious on this int. bi Benne, June 11, 1847. ‘The liberal cause in Switzerland progresses in spite of the opposition, sceretly as well as openly, practised by the French government, Jt will be remembered that Switzerland, like the United States, only ona smaller scale, is @ confederation of independent republics, called cantons, The federal government consists of the Diet, which is the legislative body; and the Vorort, which is the executive. The seat of the federal government is net fixed in a particular canton, but asses in rotation among several cantont, At present it is m the canton of Berne, the President of the grand council of which, is, in fact, President for the time boing of the confedera- tion, ‘This individual is M. Ochsenboin, a distinguished liberal and republican, Of the cantons which compose the confederation, there are seven in which the Catholic religion is predominant, and which favor arbitrary gov- rnment, advocate the Jesuits, and are patronized and retly ‘protected and supported by Austria and the absolute courts. ‘These cantons, opposed to the others, formed, some time ago, a separate league, and are known by the ‘title of the ultra-montane league, Such a pro- ceeding, being deemed incompatible with the rights of the general government, and the obligations due to the Diet and the Vorort, by the cantons, has been resisted by the ether cantons, and internal’ dissensions have arisen, which at times reached a point approaching to civil war. On the transfer of the general government to the liberal canton of Berne, the revolution which took place last autumn in Geneva, and other liberal movements, it became apparent that ‘the league of the seven cantons was likely to be soon condemned by a vote of the fede- ral legislature. The moment- now approaches at which this question will be brought to an issue; and, accordingly, the ambassadors of the fo- reign powers at Berne, are assuming those attitud.s in regard to the federal government which correspond with the policy of their respective courts. Those of the abso- lute courte—Austria, Russia, and Prussia—have with- drawn from Berne altogether, and taken up their re- sidence at Lucerne, one of the cantons of the league ; thus signifying the sense they entertain of the general government. The ambassadors of France, England, and Belgium will remain at Berne; but the first has already had a violent collision with the new President, to whom be presented a menacing note, having reference to the possible proceedings of the Vorort,and who return- ed'a dignified and spirited reply. France. in fact, under the policy of M. Guizot, has plainly indicated her inten- tion of joining Austria in coercing the Swiss confedera- tion, and, as far as she can venture to do #0, repressing the liberal movement in this country, We shall be able probably, by the next mail, to give you more definite Information on these subjects. Constantinorie, 27th May, 1847. The quarrel between the Ottoman Porte and Greece, whieh vatened to lead to serious consequences, may be considered as very nearly brought to a conclusion.— The unanimous declaration of the representatives of the foreign powers, France alone excepted, against Greece, has been decisive. The Turkish envoy at Athens was insulted by the King of Greece in a public ball room, because he refused to it & passport which his own government hai forbidden him to grant. Upon this, he quit Athens, and returned to Constantinople. Such an cal fast the inviolable person of an ambassador, was felt to be an oflence against thie customs of all civil- ized nations, There was but one statesman in Eur who did not feel that it ought to be visited with the most severe international reprehension, and that statesman was M. Guiszot. After a leng and inef- feotual resistance, the cabinet of Athens has been com- to consent to the return of M.

Chris- tenson, under whose immediate superintendence she has been built. The Mameluke is avery su- perior model for sailingJand carrying, and has been built of the best materials—live oak, locust and cedar top, and live oak cants; her ceiling, bilge, streaks, clamps and ceiling be- tween decks, are of extra thickness, and as thick as many ships built in this city of two to three hundred tons larger. Her hanging knees between decks and lower hold are very heavy, and extra fastened. She is thoroughly copper-fastened throughout, and in every way calculated for heavy cargoes. Her cutwater and head are of a new and improved principle, and are spoken of in the highest terms by many of our talented naval architects and sea captains. We would advise merchants, sea captains, and others interested in this branch of naval architecture, to examine the structure of this ship, as we feel confident that she will compare favorably with our best packet ships.

Nor is this all, for & company of vocalists, of surpassing merit, have like- wise been engaged, who will amuse the visiters by sin, ing a variety of choice songs, ducts, trios, rondos, &e., every evening this! week. Well does Vauxhall deserve the great patronage it daily receives. Camrnexi’s Ertuorian Srnexapers perform this eve” ning at Tompkin’s Lyeeum, Staten Island. They in- tend exhibiting the peculiarities of negro character at New Haven, Conn., next week. The success of this troupe, while playing at Vauxhall, is a sufficient intro- duction in their tour through the Eastern States. Theatricals. Bowery Tueatae.—So great has been the success of Monk Lewis's tragedy, “The Castle Spectre, or the Mys- teries of Conway} and so enthusiastically has it been applauded every night it was performed, that the mana- ger has wisely determined to repeat It this evening, not however, without his being solicited to do so by his friends and patrons. That excellent piece, and the laughable comedy styled “Peter White,” ‘with the drama, “ The Beacon of Death, or the Norway Wreck- ers,” will form the bill of performances this evening. The manager will shortly revive the most g spec- tacle ever produced on the Bowery stage, “ The Naiad Queen.” which drew so tremendously for a number of successive nights. To morrow evening Mrs. Jordan will take a benefit. Tom Thumb is now holding daily levees at Liberty Hall, New Bedford. Sporting Intelligence.

Other stocks also closed about the same. Money is exceedingly abundant, and the banks are loaning freely at five per cent.

Should the receipts continue at this rate for the re- mainder of the season, the gross income for the year will amount to two hundred and thirty thousand dollars. lt is our impression that the increase for the next six months will be greater than for the past six, as the road was not opened to Somers until the Ist of June, and the increased receipts up to that time were upon the old length of road.
