The Visit of Mr. Pakenham to England._His Views on the Mexican War, and his inter- view with the British Government..The Englist Elections, dc. Lonpon, 8d August, 1847. I learn from good authority, that Mr. Paken- ham, the British minister at Washington, who has been in Eogland for some time on leave of absence, has had long and frequent interviews with the government relative to the Mexican war, and the probgble issue of that event, and its consequences, on the future policy of the Uni- ted States. Indeed, I have reason to believe that his visit to England has been forthe purpose of givingall the information he possesses on the policy of the United States, to tae British gov- ernment. This information is of so much im- portance and so various, that it could not be com- municated by despatch—hence his leave of ab- sence. : Of course there isa great deal of mystery in these matters, but there is every reason to be- lieve that the recent policy of the United States towards Mexico, and its natural tendency, have given great uneasiness to the British government for the safety o! their future power in North America, and even for the West Indies. In this uneasiness they are joined partly by France and Spain, ooth these governments having postes- sions in the West Indies, that must be affected de: ply by the growth and dominion of the Ame- rican republic over Mexico. But for the estrange- ment between France and England, growing out of the Montpensier affair, there is every reason to believe shat an European intervention in Mex- ican affairs would have been attempted—for the hope is very general in diplomatic circles, both in Paris and London, that a monarchy will ‘yet be established in Mexico, as a counterpoise to the republic of the United States. The suddenness of the Mexican war, and its surprising triumphs, have only retarded, not obliterated, these ideas ‘mong the western powers of Europe. The 1a pid growth and increasing power of the United States begin to alarm them; aad Mr. Pakeaham’s visit to this country has been to give tull infor- mation, and receive new instructions on ull the:e points, aad on the future diplomacy of England with the United States—a country, which they now believe, will create more trouble and diili- culty tothe powers of Europe, than they ever dreamed of in the present century. The relations of the United States with Eu- rope ure looked upon as contradictory and con- flicting—hence their difficulty of management.— In one respect, the commerce and trade of the United States are necessary to the nations of Western Europe. This can only be enjoyed by peace and friendship. In another view, the re- publican progress of the United States—her ra- pid growth and increasing influence, menace the existing institutions of Europe, and threaten the old balance of power on the western continent — What policy may spring from these conflicting views and objects, is difficult to tell at this early day ; but itis already giving great uneasiness to France and England, and may lead to some in- discreet or unlooked for conduct on their part before a long time shall have elapsed. On one point we may rest assured. Mr. Pakenham wi!l return to the United States with new views and 4 new policy for the exigencies of a future day. The elections are the principal topics of the day in England. It is now admitted and settled that the new House of Commons will be more troublesome to the aristocracy than any one that has existed for the last two hundred years—per- haps since the Long Parliament. In spite of moneyed corruption, or landed influence, or of the aristocracy of al! kinds, a large accession of the democracy, or ultra radical members, have been returned. One-third nearly of the indi- viduals forming the present ministry have been defeated, and both the old parties, whig and tory, are nearly disorganised. It is now said that with the new House of Commons, neither Rus- sel, Peel, nor any of their colleagues can carry on the government. . This result has astonished ali parties; and, coupled with the recent increase of the popular feeling in France, in Switzerland, in Italy, and in Germany, begins to open men’s minds to some remarkable events belore the end of the next ten years, or next*en million of yeare—who can tell which 1 The most popular man in England, or in Europe, is decidedly the Pope, Pius IX. Only think of this. Operas, not masses, are now imported from Rome. I have much to say on all these questions when I return home; but at present, and hereto- fore, I have been principally engaged in collect- ing information. One thing I have ascertained —the American missions in Europe are not of mueh utility to the United States. They ought to be organized on a much more expensive and important basis, or abolished altogether. In their present condition, they are matters of mere useleseness. Aj] the European diplomatists treat the American ministers with empty ceremony, oremptier humbug, and laugh at them behind their backs. Our ministers can learn little of the real opinions of the different governments to which they may be accredited—all is ceremony, courtesy, and concealment. One can learn more of the sentiments of European governments to- wards the United States, by mixing one week with the editors of London and Paris, than by a whole lifetime with their ministers and diplo- matists. The fashionable season has just closed in Lon: don west end—and the nobility are celebrating their last soirées, The theatres are also ap- proaching their latter end—the Haymarket has closed, with a speech from Webster, exposing the weakness of the English stage, and the great- ness of the Italian and French. In fact, none go to an English play but val ar and unfashionable people. There are two icalian operas, and some- times two French theatres. They are all the go among the higher clasves of society. There are five or six public gardens, which ure very weil atiended on warm evenings —berides fancy balls, masque d bals, and all sorts of sights. The high aristocracy of England, who live in splen- did palaces at the west end, and drive in Hyde Pork carrieges and horses more magnificent than any other oity in Europe, only patronise Jenny Lind, Julia Grisi, or M’lle Rachel—the Italian opera and French theatre. This is the taste of the day. Why don’: some Coleman, oF Stetson, come to London or Paris, and open ® hotel on the American plan? There are fortunes to be made out of this idea in several large cities in Europe—and no mistake. ; The celebrated pianist, De Meyer, arrived the other day in London. He is in fine health and spirits, and on his way to Vieana. Commo- dore De Kay, who came over in the Macedonian, was here the other day. He returns in a few weeks. I hear that some of the Italian. troupes of London intend to pay a visit to New York. —————$—————_— Lavuncu or THE Stramsnir Unitep States.— The magnificent steamship United States, whose dimensions, tonnage, &c., and a full description of which we gave a short time since, was launched yesterday from the yard of Mr. Wm. H. Webb. The launch was announced to take place at half past three o’clock, and within five minutes after that time the noble vessel was afloat. She glided gracefully into the water and floated like @ swan, her symmetrical model and gigantic Proportions attracting universal observation and comment As this vessel is intended for the New Orleans trade, her builders spared no pains to have her draught as light as possible. In this they succeed- ed perfectly, for when she was towed to Messrs. Secor & Co,’s dock, where she will receive her engines and machinery, she drew only seven and a half feet on an even keel. When we consider the immense size of this vessel, the wonder is that her draught is so light. With -er machinery, cargo and coal on board, all ready tor sea, it is supposed that she will not draw more than fifteen feet and a half—much less than that of any vessel of her tonnage afloat. From all appearance, the United States must be a remarkably stiff vessel—for after she reach- ed the middle of tne river and got broadside to the wind, she did not list in the least. Many thousands of persons witnessed the launch; and from the time she left the ways un- til she was moored at the dock, there were die- charges from a cannon, placed on the top ofa high derrick on Messrs. Secor’s wharf, and bursts of huzzaing from the multitude assembled on the piers, rigging, and houses around. Theatrical and Musical. Panx Tueatae —dir. Anderson’s excellencies were ad- mirably pourtrayed last night in his representation of Claude Melnotte. There was an honesty, s frankness, & feeling, stamped on every sentiment—it was warm, im- pulsive andnatural. His love is graceful and persuasive —that of real life, not of the stage; it is in its expression the language of energy and passion. There {sa peculiar freshness in his manner and conception, a glow that kin- dies as he dwelis on the lines of the poet, rich in the de- lineation of nature's magic ecenes,and with the pencil of imagination? picturing the feelings of the awakenea heart. This is the secret of his success. He interests you, and throws e spell around the scenes and the char- ‘acters he pourtrays. He undoubtedly has faults, but you feel no desire to oritiolse—you overlook them, because the besuties far predemiuate—and you are absorbed by the interest he produces; you forget the actor in the reality before you. Mrs. Jones made an excellent Paul- ine, To-night Mr. Anderson is to appear as Charles in the “ Elder Brother,” always an admirable performance, full of beauties, and second only to his Claude. Bowear Tutatar.—All who have had the good for- tune to be present at the Bowery Theatre on any night this woek, have been delighted with the entertainments produced, and have left it with the opinion that Mrs. Shaw is one of the greatest traglo actresses at presont on the stage. Her personations of the several characters in which she appearod, were truly artistic and real. Indeed, she stands higher than she ever did. She will appear this evening as Evadne, and we recommend alj who have never seen her in that character to do so this evening. The grand drama of “ Jack Sheppard,” which has always been so popular at the Bowery Theatre, will form the after pie A treat is in preparation for the patrons of this theatre. Mrs. Shaw will soon appear in a play by Knowles’, entitled “Slander, or Love's Dis- guises.” Cratnam Tueatax.—Those talented and much ad- mired performers, Mr. and Mrs. Brougham, will make their last appearance, and take éheir benefit at the Chat- ham theatre this evening. We need not mention the claims which they have on the theatre-going public, nor their merits and acquirements; all ave too well known to need mention at thislate day. Suffice it tosay. that their benefit will take place. hat a bill well adupted to draw the largest house of yearon. is set forth for jon The event amusements will com- the“ Turnpike ”? which will be follow- ed by Robber’s Wife,” and the whole will conclude with the celebrated and much sdmired burlesque, “Life in the Clow Never wasa better bill presented at the Chatham, and never was there a more fitting occasion for a good benefit. Castie Garven.—Bellini’s celebrated opera of “ Nor- ma,” sung by Tedesco last evening, brought to the (as- tle Garden about two thousand and three hundred per- sons. The managers, or rather Senor Villarino, ought to be satisfied with such unprecedented success; hin company was certainly talented enough to make him attract large audiences, but the stage upon which they perform is so small, and the scenery #0 inude- quate to the representation of operas, that thia con!d not be considered otherwise than as an experiment Notwithstanding these drawbacks the trial lia» been hay PP? ‘he music of “ Norma’ was sung with truly admirable taste and skill. The” singer: the chovassen, eto, deserved applause of the ‘audi. ence. Tedesco, who was indisposed on account of # fall grand aria of “ Casta Di! in the ce- Iebrated duo between herself and Adalgisa, (Signora Raineri,) both were perfect, and rendered the difficult thusic oP Bellini in a style which delighted the whole audience. Signor Severi, the tenore, in the part of Pol- Hone. showed us, at last, what be can do, with his musical science and the invaluable gift received from nature -® voice very sweet and sccurate. In short, the whole performance went off in the most perfect atyle; and Tedesoe being called before the curtain at the end of the play, was received with shouts of applause, and prerented with a splendid bouquet, We must recom- mend all the opera goers to furnish themselves with the very valuable libretto of the operas, whieh seems to us pensable for their understanding. The next per- formance of the Hispano Italian company will take pline on Tuesday next, and the charming Signora (\a- ranti di Vite will appear in “La Somnambula.”— The celebrated Lehman family will ap) this evening, together with the excellent English com- pany, and perform one of their best pantomimes ‘I.vs Molesonneurs,”” together with their astonishing feats on the tight rope, and principally that curious experiment the “Ne Plus Ultra.” which seems to us and to-all thors who have seen it, the most incredible thing in that line. M. Charles Winther, the elegant acrobut. will also ap- pear in his best exercises; and the pretty and bewitch. ‘Adelaide will dance with M. Sehmidt the “Galop of Bentowsky.”” The night’s entertainment will begin with the “Rendesvous,” « v ny lananebie vaudeville, played by Miss Clarke, Holland, Waloctt, and other good uc- Grand attraction, Patmo’s Orena Hovse.—Tne Ravers,—Sucha crowd, such a rush, we never before witnessed at the doors of any theatre, as we saw last evening at Palmo's, ‘The Ravels are quite a lueky people, indeed.

This fact is the lust proof of the real talent possessed by these wonderful acrobats The performances of last night consisted of the comedy of *’Twas 1,” in which Miss Mary Teylor personated the character of Guorgetta, and was cus- tained by Mesars.

Madame L. Javelli, and Mr. Wells, her brother, danced with styleand grace the grand pas de deur from “La Favorite.” “M. Dechalameau” w: then given by the whole company, snd Gabriel Rav: as Roquinet, excited the steat laughter by his droil- ery and inimitable co pantomime. No perform- ance this evening; but on Monday next, the Ravels appear with » new bill, and will obtain the same success. Minzava Rooms.—The Virginia Serenaders will this evening repeat the burlesque opera of “ Stuffo,” which has been reosived with so much favor, sod which has eaured so much commotion as to be the talk of the town It is decidedly one of the most omusing and ridiculous things we ever saw As usual, will be an almost endless varioty of negro songs, duets, &a., sung by the company, which comprises several excellent negro min- strels. News rrom Nova Scotia.—We have received lifax papers to the 17th inst. The complete returns of the Proviocial elections had been received. ‘The liberals claim to have chosen 29 out of the 61 mem- bers of the House, The Morning Post, however, a loy- alist paper, puts down 10 of the 20 as “ well meaving men, who will possibly or probably # the govern- meut; but whose votes the radicals propriated ves,”” rrogantly ap. | where they were outting wood to the river.

The policy of ali nations confirms this truth. and there is no doubt that Congress itself renounced the power ot negotiation when,in amending our origival constitution- al pact, it determined that there should be no alteration in the provisions we have cited, and lft them to stand as they were. On the other had,in perfect consistency with these pro- visions, the executive can conclude notning definitively, {t possesses no authority to consummate any arrangement which shall be binding upon the Republic; and Congress very well knows that the executive, oven in the exercise of its constitutional exclusive faculties, under @ repre- sentative system, finds itaclf constrained to pursue such a course ad may be designated by public opinion and the legislative body. In the position truly strong and resp: otu- ble which our constitution gives to Congress, it possenser abundant peucefal and legal resources, without exceed- ing ite duties, tomsure the interest of the nation iu whatever mauner they may be compromised For these reasons, therefore, the majority of the com- mittee cannot propose any other course than to retary to the Government the despatch; and if this report ap- pears subscribed by only two members of the committee. it should be borne iu mind that our associate Sr. Cebal- loa, who wortbily presides over the committee, but who from his well known tliness 1s uuavle to cooperate with us, has authorized us to express his agreemeut with us, and he even offered to subscribe the report which we should prepare expressive of our views, which we con- clude with the following proposition:— With a copy of this report let the despatch ly retura- ed to the Government. becuuse in the present situation of the affair, it comes within its cognizance, with the re- atrictions which are established by the fundumertal code of the Republic, TERO.

The blind obstmecy of the nation to oppose a peace is now definitely incor porated in thelaw. The executive has the power by the constitution to negotiate and prepare w treaty for the sanction of Congress, but there is an existing law of Congr. ss declaring,that man & traitor to thefoountrywhe shail propose peace. The executive must set this law ai defiance in recommending a treaty for the sanction of Congress. Santa Aona is understood to have demanded. or ut least expected the repeal of this law by which his hands are now tied.

[From the St. Louis Republican, Aug. 13 J Mr. Coulter, who arrived in the Bertrand. from the Missouri, furnishes later and somewhat different details in regard to the death of Lieut. Brown and his men — That officer, with McClenehan and Quisenberry, and a Mexican guide, left camp on the 28th of June,in pursuit of horses belonging to (apt. Horine’s company, which had been stolen the night previous, when the camp was attacked. They were expeoted to return the next day. but did not, and fears were entertained that they might nave been killed. Gn the Sth of July, these suspicions were realized. as information was then received from a Mexican woman, that they had been murdared and their bodies burnt. Maj Edmonson, on receiving this news, took measures toavenge their desth. He marched with some sixt men take howitser against the town where the enormi- ties had been committed, and on his arrival there, about the hour of daybreak, discovered thet the inhabitants were flying to the mountains. He commanded them to stop, but as they did not doso, be fred upon them, kill- ing six, wounding several others; and taking forty or fifty prisoners. im some of the prisoners it was ascer- twined that the bodies of two of the Americans were burnt, bat that the body of Lieut.

Dodge—Now Practioe—In this case a bond or stipulation was entered into, that the respondent should appear and abide by all the orders of the Court, interlocutory or final. in the cause; and hy Aad money awarded by the flual decree, o. <A final ree was subsequently entered against the respondent, upon which execution issued, and was returned unsatisfied. Motion was then made by Mr. Alepeon Nash, proctor for libellant, for execution against the stipulator. Mr. Beene, on behalf of respondent, opposed the mo- tion, on the ground that an order to show cause should have been obtained and served on the stipulator, and that this proo fui, Sere irregular. Per Curiem.—The practice of the District Court in such cases has been well understood and settled. under the standing rules of the Court. (Betts Practice, 27 ) An order of course can be taken after final decree against the principal, that the stipulator fulfil his stipu- lation, or show cause in four days why execution should not issue against bim; this is to be served on the prector of the peicipal party; and if no cause be shown, a sum- mary decree is rendered and execution is awarded there- onegainst the stipulator. (Rule 145.) The rules of the Supreme Court eines the principal and surety on bond or stipulation given in arrests in personam, on the same footing. The engagement is, that the principal party shall appear in the suit and abide the orders of the Court, interleoutory or fin#l, in the cause, and pay the money awarded by the final deoreo rendered therein into Court; and upon such bond or stipula- tion, summary process of execution may and shall be isssued against the principal and sureties, to en- force the final decree so rendered. (Rule 3) These stipulations may be taken by the marshal or be- foro a judge or commissioner—(Rule 3,5) In the pre- sent case the surety executed a bond to the marshal, pursuant to the terms of rule 3 of the Supreme Court. ‘The effect of the bond and remedy upon it must aocord- ingly be determined by the true import of that rule. It seems to me manifest that the court designed by the rule to place the surety precisely in the situatioa of the principal. ‘The final decree ia to be enforced against both by sum..ary proce sof execution, aud accordingly the method which obtains the process against the principal, in all that can be required Lo procure it against the sure- ty also. As the order to snow causo is not granted in che District Court in case of the principal, but execution ia awarded by order of courav—the distinction of proce- dure in that court in respect to the surety is abrogated by the rule of the Supreme Court, and one order is ull that is necessary. ibe same award whi h grants execu tion on the decree, does so in regard to ali parties, and ag that order may be summary, it of course must be founded on the decree itself without avy intermediate steps or notice. A summary ee Imports one by direct action of the court, and nuleas: vy enpeg by some eondition or qualidcation of law will be free of delay and forms—as summary arrest, summary judgments or de- orees, are in contemplation of law, independent of the cheoks and formalities attendent upon ordinary proceed. ings of like character, so summary execution must be considered the immediate award of that process after final decree rendered, and without other reservation than that i: be dieoted by the court. The rule of the Su preme Court is not limited to giving summary execution asa favor, but is imperative upon all courts. They are required to issue it against principal aud surety to cn- force the final decree. ‘Ths libellant is, ooordingly, now entitled to that process upon the prayer, and he ought to have taken the order for it with, at obtained against the principal, and the award now must be with- out costs, Usitep States Mansua.’s Orrice, Aug. 20.—Charge of Grand Larceny —Charles ‘Thompson, third mato of the packet ship Queen of the West, was arrested this morning, under a warrant granted by — Morton, Exq., United States Commissioner, on a charge of grand lar- ceny.

Several of the fancivs fell off a fraction, and the tendency at the close was downward. Reading bonds declined 4 per cent, Farmers’ Loan }y, Reading Railroad %, Norwich and Worcester X. Treasury notes advanced 3. Long Island and Harlem closed at prices current yesterday, The transactions were to a limited extent. The news from Europe has hada depressing influence upon our money market, end fancy stocks will no doubt {gel the effect for several days. Money is not so abundant as 1¢ has been, andthe demand for specie for peyment into the eub-treasury continues large. The Madison and Indianapolis railroad h®®o declared a dividend of seven per cent, payable to New York stock. holders, at the office of the Obio Trust Company, on the ‘26th instant. A large amount of protested bills of exchange hes been returned by the Cambria. Nearly a million of dol- lars are reported, principally drawn by houses of this and Southern cities against shipments of breadstufla. This must produce s great deal of embarrassment among many houses here, and add to the difficdities created bya serious decline in breadstuffs. Our mer- chants stand their losses with a great deal of ‘firmness, and we trust they will all weather the storm.
