I ae. © " SUMMARY OF AMERICAN NEWS, tO GO BY THE French Line of Steamers. We beg leave to announce to the readers of the New York Herald, that we shail hereafter issue, on the sailing of each and every French steamship from this port, « Herald for Europe, with a summary of American news printed in French, for the benefit of those in France who are not acquainted with the Anglo-Saxon. This will be @ new feature in American journalism, and, as such, may be considered anew step in the pro- gress of newspapers, On all occasions, from the day on which the Herald entered upon its existence to the present moment, it has endeavored to keep up with the successive improvements of the age. It was the first to issue extras, giving ins nut-shell the European news on the arrival of packet ships. It was the first to issue an edition for European circulation, on the departure of every steamship. It was tho first to take advantage of the great invention of Morse, and use it for the benefit of the newspaper read- ing public; and it will endeayor to be the first journal to aid in drawing closer the already strong bonds which bind the people of La Belle France andthe citizens of the United States together, by publishing a resumé ot the history and progress of the United States, in war, agriculture, steam, magnetism, politics, commerce and finance, from the sailing of one French steamship to that of another, for the use of the French public. We shall start this new piece of enterprise on the day ef the departure of the Philadelphia from this port, which will be on the 15th inst. Onthatday the Herald for Europe will, in & commercial, political, and monetary polnt of view, be as interesting to the people of France, us it has hitherto been to the people of England. ubscriptions received at this office; and by Messrs. ignani, 18 Rue Vivienne, and C.

Grand Fancy Dress Ball— Occupations of the Visi- ters iwals—The Herr Alerander—The Concert of Herz ant Sivori, §c. He. Costly and extensive preparations are now being made for the grand fancy cress ball to be given at this hotel on the 11th instant. Hair dressers and curling tongs have been imported in profusion, and the lovely women, of whom there are a bevy, a group, most admirable and matchiess, are fitting garments of fine texture to their pretty limbs. Costumers are arriving, and have arrived, with packages of dresses, of every imaginable style and quality. ‘The gentlemen are making selections, and [ expect that every personage of note, and not of note, from Cromwell to the Bourbons, will be personified at this great carnival. In the’suspending interim, theso dear, amiable women, and these fine-toned,elegant men, are still going it with a perfect abandonment. So far as I can comprehend, they have here all the prominent appointments of heaven, except, perhaps, that holy purity and sinlessness which is a feature in the courts of heaven, in which men can- not partake until they resolve to doso, As for myself, I believe that the germs and the elements of purity exist in the world, and that their development will not be de- layed for ever. It is here an eternal routine of fascina- tion and fuscinating pleasure; in the immortal Polka, when trembling little hearts bustle each cther—when the crimson lips meet—and the eyes loso themselves in the eyes’ abyss—I have noticed exhalations of soft sighs, and impalpable whispers and terrible agitation. I refer ali these things to the gentlemanly cupid, who is a most insolent autocrat Among the company here, I have observed there is a gon of John C. Callodn, the great South Carolinian, He is passé, but very polite, and may become a man of dls- tinction. ‘The British Coneul is also here. Atdinner,the Herr Alexander, after havinglagitated his cerrebruim with a bottle of heidsic, suddenly relieves some some person's waistcoat pocket of a cabbage head of this year’s growth; digestion is of course assisted, aud the entire table is convulsed with laughter. ‘The other day at table, the Herr bet four bottles of champaigae, with an aotiquarian, that he (the Herr) could remove certain bali from under a tumbler which was standing upon the table bottom upwards, without raising the tumbler; the bet was taken, and the Herr folded a piece of paper about the tumber, nd placed the ball under iz upon the table; with the paper around the tumbler, of course the bail could not be seen After certain incan- tations aud gyrations by the Herr,the antiquarian raised the tumbler to see if the ball had disappeared ; the ball which remsined there was instantly taken away by the Herr; thus you will observe that the Herr won the champagne ; he took the ball away without raising the tumbler. Lecause the tumbler was raised by the autiqua- por ; the man of musty manuscripts ordered the cham- paigne, . We bave an incomparable steward, Mr. Morris; he is the monarch of the dining room, and through his watch- Zulnets and skill, the citeyennésof this minlaturemetro- polis are gorgea with psiutable succulents of the most nourishing qualities. + Jheard the little and the great Sivori last night; I hoard Hera also. Sivort sayarho plays upon Paganini’s fiddle—it is the very eame the immortal Pagan used. ‘These artists were comforted and assured by en immense sadience of rich men, with their wives and children. Sivori’s * Nel coz piu’? was ineffable and indescribable; it was tumuitaous and wild; it bolted through the brain like the shock of a thousand electric batteries; it un- moored the heart from its anchorage of dignity, an made it laugh gardonically; it made the soul and senses reel, aud it was received witha yell of enthusiasm ‘that vibrated through the lofty passages of the model hotel like discharges of stilery over a rock-bound it was gra d gloomy, and solemn and peculiar. Sivori isa little bit of a god, and Herz is a paragon pianist; cold, calculating and fron men cannot be musical critics; sud that person who, in the metropolis of New York, has undertook to dictate a conventional rule to metro- politan audiences, aud who has pronounced it plebeian to applaud @ great genius—a maestro—that person is a chawell doggerel critio—without those angelic and fine feclings which ever suddenly impel men to love and approve sweet and lovely things on this bald earth. Such persons made society an automaton machine—they made it cold, and pulseless, and rotten; their hearts are conserved in air tight casements; their eyes are gluey und expressionless— “ Ave nd quit my sight! Let the earth hide thee! ‘Thy bones ar- marrowless, thy blood is cold; ‘Thou hast no speculation in shone eyes Which thou dost glare with!”’—Shaks. Many are they for whom life prelude of unctious aud complacent joy to their entrance into, | hope, the cove of heaven; many are they whom superfluity has mude insensible to the vile agony of those that remain without the pale of fortune—to those poor that wear bastard hearts in their breasts—whose eyes are shrunk wich the procrastination of woe, and whose hearts are like a turbid pool, without purity, without beauty, with- out anything good. Of these first is this bright and happy bevy of men and women who have congregated at Saratoga; of these last is the noxions scum of the popu- lous cities of Euroy d America. Thus I augur that God has apparently evinced a partiality for portions of mankind, aud that he has also, apparently, vouchsafed pre-cminent and peculiar blessings to particular lati- tudes of the continents.

There was vory little activity in the stock market to- day; prices, however, were tolerably firm, Treasury notes, 6’s, North American Trust, Farmers’ Loan, and Norwich and Worcester, closed at prices current yester- day. Reading Bonds went up ‘4, while Long Island fell off 4, and Harlem X%. There appears to be a dull time coming on, a sort of lull in the market, and speculators exhibit a disposition to hold off. We cannot expect much activity in the stock market until about the first week in September. The Assistant Treasurer of the Government, in this city, has suspended payment, Demands against the gov- ernment have been presented for payment and refused, and {f that is not bankruptcy, we would like to know what ix, There must be a want of funds, or the payment of regularly drawn drafts would not be refused, The Secretary of the Treasury has adopted some very extra- ordinary rules relative to the payment of demands against the government. Drafts which have matured are not paid upon presentation. It appears that if they are not presented between the hours of ten and three, on the day they are duo, they are not paid at all. The money cannot be obtained & day before or a day after. It is posrible that the government may make something out of this method of doing business; that the treasury may have the use of other peoples’ money alittle while longer; but it creates vast deal of bad feeling, and in many in- stances is very injurious to the parties concerned. A war warrant for only $60, regularly signed and regularly endorsed, was & few-days since presented to tho Assistant Treasurer of this city and payment refused, end the only satisfaction the holder received was, that aa it had been {issued more than eighty days, the Treasurer had no au- thority to pay it. ‘The amount received for tolls at the Collector's office in Buffalo, during the fourth week in July, is $96,470 64 Same period in 1846. . 21,784 93 Increase over 159 per cent, being. ....... $34,686 71 ‘The aggregate amount received for tolls at that office, from the commencement of navigation to the 31st of July inclusive, is... . 6.6 eee eee + $706,089 69 Daring the mains poiiod in 1846...,. 376.475 00 Increase over 87 por cent, being... .... » . $920,614 69 The amount received for tolls at Buffalo during the | entire season of navigation in 1945, was $492,695 41, ond on the | w series of The New World, |* im 1046, $769,099 09, ns WY, large increase at that office during the present year, the following table has been prepared, which shows the re- ceipts for each month, from the commencement of navi- gation to the Ist of August, during the years 1845, 1646 and 1847 ;— Canat Commence or Burrato—Toris Recewven. 184: 1847, 1ai6. 4 ri 22,515 58 = 127,982 66 == :206,303 11 nt 138,638 36 284,362 60 86,308 40 -214,423 98 $213,201 00 375,475 00 705,089 69 ions of produce into Buffalo, via the lake, from the West, from the opening of navigation tothe Ist of August, for several years past, were as annexed :— 3. 53,000 se 18 21,000 18,000 17.700 5,789 "'iha00 “i300 9,800 2,500 8,312 2,700 31356 2,645, 5,000 1,300 33,020 26,255 21,620, 13,205 ‘Thore has been a very great increase in all the items of breadstuffs, in beef, wool, whiskey and hides, and @ de- crease in pork and ashes.

See BY THE MAILS, Highly Interesting Intelligence, Wasmixaton, August 4, 1847, Retaliation on the British Government—The United Sitibpand Brazil—Misstatements—The Three Mil- lions—Lord Palmer: > Since I wrote last in relation to the unhandsome con- duct of the British Government, in charging double postage on the letters brought by the steamer Washing- ton to Southampton, the Cabinet has resolved to retali- ste more summarily than was at first contemplated. It has been determined that the mails fur Canada by the Cunard steamers, shall not be transported over our ter ritory in future. Instructions went out by the last steamer to Mr. Bancroft, to notify the British Govern- ment, that the compact between the latter and the Post Office Department of the United States, by virtue of which the Canads mail is transported frem Boston to Montreal, shall cease after three months from the date ot the notice—the shortest period specified in the com- pact, for abrogating it at the desire of either party. ‘Thus, after three months, the British Government will be obliged to transport their Canada mail across from- Halifax at great expense and trouble, which expense and trouble it might have avoided if it had acted with com- mon decency. 1 see it stated that our Government has sent out in- structions to Mr. ‘Tod, our new Minister at Brazil, to the effect that it is determined to make such concessions as will prevent farther difficulties; und further, that the question whether Lieutenant Davis was ame- nable to the municipal laws of Rio, at the time of the riot, has been canvassed at a cabi- net council, the result of the disquisition being, that he was #o amenable, ‘There is not a single word of truth in this statement. No instructions have gone out from the State Department to Mr. ‘Tod, since his departure. | The government has not determined to make any, the smallest concession, to Brasil. ‘The matter has not been canvassed at a Cabinet Council for more than a month. And finally, at no time has there been the slightest dif- ference of opinion in the cabinet as to whether Lieuten- ant Davis and his boat's crew were amenable to the mu- nicipal laws of Rio while in the streets of that clty.— This question has never been raised by eur government. It was fully conceded from the first. There has not been the minutest departure from the position first as- sumed by Mr. Buchanan, This misstatement, which was altogether manufactured, is most injurious to the charactgr of our government, as it would represent the cabinet ‘as having assumed a position at first from which it afterwards retreated at the first puny threat held out by the weakest government on the continent.

The rising of the Mormons in California and other amusing absurdities of that nature are all very well. They do not produce much mischief, beyond wantonly alarming thou- vands of families throughout the United States for the fate of their relatives and friends in that country; but when such falsehoods put the government of the United States in an attitude at one time blustering and bullying—at snother truekling and timorous—at one time demanding concessions from Brazil, and anon making concessions to that power before they are de- manded, and when there are absolutely no concessions to make; the mischief is not quite so harmless. Not a single dollar of the poace appropriation of three millions has as yet been drawn from the Treasury, nor can it be untila treaty of peace shall have been ratified by Mexico. Such is the provision of the law. Lord Palmerston’s extraordinary language in relation to the non-paying States, has been received here with « smile and a shrug of the shoulders. Extravagant and blustering as bis lordship’s tone and policy has hitherto been, such » brusque announcement as that made by him in the House of Commons on the 6th of July, was entirely unexpected. The hot-headed minister must have found the attention of his auditory very mush in- clined to flag, when he was obliged to resort to such « meaningless and empty threat to “ bring down the house.” What is the state of the case between Eng- land and the States, her debtors? Pennsylvania pays full interest, not only on her principal but on the inter- est unpaid. Michigan end Illinois have made arrange- ments to pay. Sohas Indiana, Missistppi denies she is justly indebted. Maryland is absolutely unable to pay, with the very best intentions, however, of paying every dollar when she can. ‘There was never a time less fitly chosen for the enun- ciation of this vaunting threat. Let England turn her eyes across the channel, and mark the hundreds of thousands of newly made graves—fully up, I believe, by this time, to the awful number of one million—graves dug and filled by her rapacity—let her put this million ofsouls prematurely sent by her to their account in one scale, and the tempora - ry withholding from her ofa few millions of pounds sterling by the American States, in another—let her poise these two, and see which will preponderate. If she will stand forth before the world as the accuser of America, at least let her come into court with clean hands. GALVIENSIS. Wasninoron, Aug. 4, 1847.

Mr. W. H, Hewitt, of New York city, the well-known ublisher of the Pictorial Shakspeare, of late turned is attention to the great element of steam, and has in- yented a new propeller, entirely different from anything in use inocean or inland navigation. It obviates the objections to the side wheel, and avoids the loss of that is peculiar to the screw. It presents on each side of the boat two parallel ranges of paddies, alternatel, operating through the water in a straight line, rising the ond of the sweep above the water until again sub- merged for another pull, With an equal engine power, it is estimated that © speed of at least ten per cent will be gained upon the ordinary side wheel. The distin- guishing peculiarity of the new invention is the inerties of the water; and by the alternate oj of the motive er, one set of paddles, twelve in number, on cach ill be constantly on the pull; the surface of resistance presented to the water being so great that the whole power will re-act in giving the motion of the boat.
