subject: and that M. Guiaot threatened to retire fron afk ¢, and that the king told him he wou! he well pleased with such a meagure; but that subsequently, the difficulty was adjusted. There will be a struggle in the election of the President. of the Chamber of Deputies; but M Guizot will succeed, [have no doubt, as he con- trols a majority of that body. The opposition rely upon discussion, the press, and the power of the people, which is already manifesting itself in “reform banquets” &c. The respect felt for the king, by the people of France, keeps them quiet; and this fact is so well understood here and in England, that all look forw rd to the time of his decease, with undisguised anxiety. But | ithink the king’s minister will be forced to ebandon his policy towards Switzerland, whe- thor the king lives or dies; or to so mc dif itas to satisfy the people of France and the liberals of Switzerland. Prussia insists that Neufchatel, one of the Swiss Cantons, is independent of the Swivs federal government, and she has notified the Swiss government that she will regard any coercion ot Neufehatel ag an attack upon Prussia herself. But Switzerland has placed Prussia in a position to attempt to execute her threat, or to abandon her pretension, as that Canton has been fined three hundre@ thousand francs for refusing its contributions to the force and expenses of the war, and has been compelled to pay it. . Austria has motives for fanning this coalition, growing out of her views of acnuisition of fur- ther powers, and additional territory. But Queen Victoria and Lord Palmerston, angry at the mar- riage of the Duke of Montpensier with the sister | Delins, said that he thanked the President and gent! forth this speech was « grand dinner given by the inhabitants of Bremen to Mr. Gevekopt, on his return from the United States, where he bad been, and had succeeded in establishing @ steam line of packets. ‘To understand the cause ot the interest attached to che Mr. Donelson, it is necessary t know that en, under the influence of a snail pariy of Senators, has refus- ed hitherto to join the Zollverein, contrary to the wishes of the great mass of the citizens, who are in favor of that union. Itis perfectly ridicu- lous that such cities as Bremen and Hamburg should exclude themselves from the Zellverein, when their principal customers are within its bounds. That they do so, however, is owing to the machinations of England, who prevents Bremen, Hamburg, and Hanover from, joining the greatGerman Union, or Zollverein. The great object of England 13 to Jessen the com- merce of the Zollverein, to promote her own interests. It is, therefore, contrary to sound policy in the United States government to encou- rage those small cities against the Zollyerein, which still hold out against the Union, viz: Ha- nover, Mecklenberg, and others. By so doing, we embarrass our relations with the Zollverein. The Germans now begin to feel that Napoleon was right in his views thirty years ago, in seek- ing to exclude England from this continent. The tollowing is the only correct and full report of Mr. D.’s speech sent to the United States :— Speech of His Excellency 4. J Donelson ct the Dinner to M G@evekopt, at Bremen, 13th Dec , 1847. Mr. Dong.son, in reply to the toast offered by M of the Queen of Spain, are happy in bare an Op- | men, for the high honor they had paid his country ; that portunity to thwart the views of Louis Philippe, and his minister, M. Guizot. There is no friend- ship at this time between the courts of France and England ; and this fact is well understood by Switzerland, as well as the fact that the people of France sympathize with the Swiss li- erals and rejoice in the overthrow of the Jesuits, inthe Seven Cantons under their con- trol up to the time of this revolution. | alg en ig now quiet under her new re- gime, and should France, Austria and Prussia coalesce to restore the Jesuits to power, it will kindle a flame in Europe, the consequence of which cannot be foreseen. December 28, 1847. To-day the Chamber of Deputies have as- sembled, to whom the king is now deliverin the royal speech. ‘The royal procession left the palace of the Tuilleries at precisely one o’clock, under the protection of a large military torce. The Chamber ot Deputies is situated on the south side of the Seine, exactly opposite the Place dela Concorde, with which it is connected by an elegant bridge, called Ponte dela Concorde. The garden of the Tuilliries is situated at the east of the Place dela Concorde, and the king’s palace at the eastern extremity of this garden; of both of which, the Seine is the southern boun- dary. The military guard extended from the palace to the ee thence scross the bridge to the south side of the Chamber of Deputies, which is, of course tne most distant from the river. Between the two lines of soldiers, thus stationed, the carriages of the king, his minis- ters, officers of his court, &c., &¢c., passed, preceded by the royal band. Cannon an- nounced the departure of the procession, and the king’s arrival atthe Chamber. Another part of the king’s guard, was stationed from twenty to thirty rods distant from the route taken by the procession, which prevented any person from ap- peoncling _hearer than that distance, to the ing’s carriage, at any time after he left his pa- Jace. Such is the precaution deemed necessary to protect the person of the king from accident, in this enlightened and beautiful country, where government has existed near two thousand years; while in the United States, the person of the chief magistrate is as secure as that of a rivate citizen; and in the presence of assem- bled thousands, he delivers hie address upon first entering upon tho duties of his office, with- out a soldier to protect him, and without feeling that there is any necessity for a guard. ¢ But the death of the King of France, at this moment, would be followed, it is feared, by per- haps a civil, and possibly a European war. The king’s dynasty dates only from 1880; and is based on a revolution. The Duke of Orleans, heir premenipiys to the throne, was killed in 1842— his zon, the Count ot Paris, will be, therefore, the successor of Louis Philippe, if the succession should not be interrupted. Buthe is yetachild; and the Duke of Nemours, the second son of Louis Philippe, and who will be Prince Regent, is not popular with the people of France, and is said not to inherit the capacity of his father, nor to accord with him in political sentiment— whereas the duke of Joinville,the king’s third son igjsaid to have great capacity,and courage, and to be exceedingly popular in the French Navy and among the French people; and no admirer of Mr. Guizot’s policy towards England. The Duke d’Aumile, the king’s fourth son, has talent, and an income said to be equal to his fa- ther’s, who is,regarded as one of the richest men in Europe; and the Duke de Montpensier, the king’s fifth son, has capacity, and is a con- necting link between the crowns of France and Spain; and England, in epposing his marriage so violently, cannet expect to find a friend in him. The French people hate the English, collectively and individually; and covet nothing more than an opportunity to return, in London, the visit which the Duke of Wellington made them at Paris, in 1815. With four sons of so much power and capacity; with France, England,and, indeed, the greater part of Europe, agitated by the pro- gress of public opinion in regard to the civil rights of the people; with an actual revolution in one State in the centre of Europe, and the preliminary measures ie in progress for like events in other souis Poilippe may, well tremble for the of the succession during the minor- ity of his grandson; and Europe may also be | auxious that the scenes of the past may not be re-enacted, and that it may not be found neces- sary to bring again into France nine hundred thousand men to overthrow one man. Let an- other Napoleon appear in France, and what pro- bability is there that every throne in Europe would not soon be among the things that were? Possibly, the snows and ice of Russia, and the existing state of her people, might make the throne of the Czar an exception for tie present. The Duke of Wellington is urging the govern- ment of England to increase the army, and for- tify her cousts against a French invasion; and says the peace of Europe depends upon the life of one man, (meaning Louis Philippe.) The Swiss authorities, and the mass of the French people, say that in the solution of the Swiss question by the other powers, is involved the ex- istence of their thrones; and.that goverament has replied to M. Guizot, Pruseia, and Austria, in a manner to satisfy these powers, that nothing is to be expected from intimidation. Dec. 29, 1847. Stocks fell yesterday at the Bourse, on the re- ception of the king’s speech. The latter part of it, where he epeaks of the “bad passions” of men, is regarded as applying to those “ reform banquets” which are becoming so frequent, and now are attended by thousands. No approbation was expressed in the chamber at that part of the speech which refers to Switzerland—and there- he felt peculiarly happy in having the privilege of ex- pressing these thanks on the occasion belected by Bre- men to do honor to the merits of one of her diatinguish- ed representatives, and to signalize the efforts which have been made to consolidate a union between the commerce of Germapy and the United States; that whatever difference ef views the policy of nations ex- hibited in regard to the meaning of thejterm freedom of trade, there was general concoid among all, in the ap- probation of works of improvement, and particularly when these works were intended to multiply the commu- nication between nation and nation, and to give unity to their various interests. la such measures, (he-said.) progress was freedcm, and whoever promoted it, wasa public beoefactor. Bremen had been selected us the north inte eet ‘the German sea port—for the terminus inw o | congratulation that she had been. — the friends of this patriotic city still perceived, as the highend elevated sentiments manifested here on this occasion wouid ena- bie them to do, that whatever would or might be the local bevefits of this selection, thore of a national or general character, were Property, wppresiated. It was to promote the commerce of the great family interest, the chief part of which constitutes what is called the Zoll- vereiu—to develope and to cement this interest with that of the country of Washington—that Bremen in- tended to covsec: ate her position as the terminus of this new steam line, Bremen (Mr. Donelson said) felt her- self, in relation to this national interest, in many re- spects not unlike that of New York to the United States, of the largest portion of whose interior trade she formed the centre. Each city was a part of « great whole, Neither, isolated and apart from situation, could aspire to the highest utility, asthe agent of com- merce, But, though forming the centres of different systeme, it wos the aim of both to draw those syetems more clo:ely toget! erjaud he trusted they would succeed. Mr. President and gentlemen, (Mr. D. continued,) it is upon such good works that the spirit of modern times delights to dwell. it is by them thet commerce has been the greatest of all retormers, They make « new era in the world, giving boundless scope for the et of Kahane ater Weeder in fact, bori long as it now is, by those irresistible powers, steam and magnetism, is teaching nations new applications of those sacred injunctions by which we have all been taught to love one another, and to remember that di- vision weakness. Yes, commerce, which har- monizes ao beautifully elements that, viewed alone, are #0 dengerous—which, with their aid, penetrates alike the mountain and the wave, end extracts from them wealth and protection, bas created a new standard by which to test the merit ofnations. It has even dispensed to same extent with the ideas of multitude of numbers and great territorial extension, in the establishment of this stan- dard. I mean‘to say, gentlemen,that it presents,as a beau- tifal moral truth, the fact that a small State, which com- prehends its mission and performs its duty, is really a greater nation than a largo one of the latter, which ne- jects or misuses its powers. But, ir. D.) 1am in danger of treap: your time, My only object is to teel the honor you have paid my country. Permit me, in return, to oifer you the following sentiment : Barmrs—An old and faithful sentinel on the watch- tower of commerce--may her trade with the United States continue to increase, and may her patriotiam, ris- ing above merely local views, be the means of seouring to the great Germanic Confederation a flag which will be as eee ae on the ocean as their military power is on the land, Theatrcal and Musical, Treatricats anp Amusements in New York Last weex.—The basiness done at the various theatres and other places of public resort during the past week, has in the aggregate been very large, every one of them,with perhaps one or two exceptions, having been visited by immense audiences nightly.

The Saturday afternoon formance, was very fullyat‘ended. The feats of eques- anism, &e ,presented here nightly are very pleasing and attractive. The Bowery came out on Monday evening, with the new military spectacle of the “ Battle of Mexico;” it has oreated quite a furor ert the patrons of this house, and it is decidedly one of the best got up spectacles ever Presented ona New York stage, it will, probably have alongrun. The receipts of the Bowery during the past week must have been very large. The Cuatnam has not been behind hand in attractions. Mra. Wilkinson, an excellent actress, and Kemp, the gymnastist, have beenithe features of the week. A variety Of new dramas were produced, and also the never tiring Model Artists every evening. The houses, however, have not been as fuilas they might, doubil-ss owing to the attractions at the Bowery and Park.

They were all well attended, art strong towards these artists. Of the other light amusements, such asChristy’s Min- strels, Broadway Odeon, Banvard’s Panorama, ‘and the many others that abound around town, we need only say they have been crowded nightly—indeed, it seems as if these species of ainusements take better with the mass than the heavier ones.

The Morning Post contains the following no- tice :—“ To the educated classes of society in general, and to tbe Biblical student in particular, a treat of no | common order is offered in the examination of this ex- quisite work of learningandart. If we regard it asa wonderful example of human ingenuity and perseve- rence—as an embodiment of the accumulated wealth of meny years of study and investigation—or asa beauti- fal illustration, a careful scholion, to the divine writings of the Prophets and Apostles, we find that in cach view respectively it is worthy of admiration, attention and respect. It, indeed, isa thing per se, and altogether above hasty criticiam.”’ s Police Intelligence. Robbing a Brother-in-lew,—The man Robert ‘Tobin, fore, the speech has been regarded by specula- tors as disquieting. With the exception of its yeference io the ‘* banquets,” the speech appears to mean anything or nothing. On the Swiss question, it appears to me to be very equivocal; and | think 1s generally so re- garded. An envoy from Austria, and another from Prussia, huve arrived in this city within a day or two, to discuss and to determine upon the measures io be adopted towards Switzerland. ‘Twenty thousand people in Florence, and as many more at Rome, have been assembled, to applaud and to tender thetr support to Switzer- land; and the recent death of the Duchess of Parma, Maria Louisa, go celebrated for having been the second wife of Nepoleon, has opened new and important questions in Italy, in the ad- justmeat of which Austria will not be an in- different spectator. Tow far Louis Philippe will lend himself to the views of Austria in helping herselt to still larger acquisitions in Italy, for ihe suke of securing the approbation ot Austria of the marriage of the Dake de Mont- pensier with the Infonta of Spain, remains to be determined. The l'rench king will sacrifice much jor the sake of uniting the crowns of France and Spain in his own family. But it may be well for him to beware, lest, inadjusting the policy of his government to meet the views of other governments, he does not lose the at- fections and support of his own people. By his excessive cordiality, Victoria, he lost much with the people of France. Perhaps the continuance of his family dynasty depends upon the decision he may now make in reference to Switzerland.

The stock market closed yesterday much more buoy- ant than we have noticed for several weeks past. The improvement was confined almost entirely to the fan- cies, and there was evidently a disposition on the part of speculators to purchase, in anticipation of a further advance. It is the opinion of some of the shrew dest ope- rators in the street that priovs for stocks have touched bottom; that whatever change of consequence takes place in prices, must be for the better, and that it is safer to buy and hold than to sell. We agree with them in this view, as there are decided indications of an im- mediate improvement in our financial affairs, which must lead to an inflation in prices for fancy stocks.— There is a wide margin for an advance in every stook in the list; and as soon as the materials of speculation be- come a little more abundant,we have no doubt there will be a movement made to give the bubble an inflation similar to those which have heretofore been blown up and burst. Itisa long time since the stock speculators of Wall street have had a general inflation in prices. Within the past six months two or three of the favorite fancies have reached very high points; but there has not been any general improvement for many months, and neither the bulls or the bears have lately had an opportunity of hardly making their salt. Shaving notes and discount- ing uncurrent money have been more profitable opera- tions than buying and selling fancy stocks; and as the: seourities have periodical movements, there will b without much doubt, a change seon in the market! Last year at this time, prices for most of the fancy stocks ruled several per cent lower than those now cur- rent; and within the year, some of them advanced twenty and thirty per cent, and have fallen back to the start. ing point-—-some below. There js, therefore, as wide a margin for an improvement as there was last yoarat this time, although there isnot so much probability of such an abundance of money as when epecie was coming in so rapidly in payment for our exports. We cannot ex- pect the speculators will remain idle much longer. There are hundreds of them in Wall street, watching every movement calculated to give them @ chance to let out; and as soon as things look a little better, they wil] take advantage of them at once. Tho annexed table exhibits the quotations for stocks in this market for each day of the past week, and at the close of the week previous. It will be perceived that the tendenoy of prices has been upwerd :— Qvotations ror THE Principat. Stocks in tHe New Youre Manxer. ‘ Sat. Mon, Tues. Wed. Ths. Fri. Sat.

It is very unpleasant that | sucha mistake should occur; but as it is, we have reason to congratulate ourselves that it is in favor of the Trea- sury, instead of against it. It reduces the wants of the department that amount, and is, therefore, a very fevor- able feature, Such a mistake as this could not have happened had the expenditures of the government been merely of an ordinary character, as tho error, if one had been made, would have been detected before it reached the public eye ; but when the receipts and dis- bursements are not only of an extraordinary character, but to on immense amount, compared with what they usually are,there are not those checks upon the ertimates as the department has no precedent to go by, ant, at far as the, amount goes, becomes a mere matier of opinion, based upon the best data at the command of the government.

What- ever may have been the expectations of the government relative to revenue from these sources, it is probably as well that is ventured upon no estimates, as we now know the extent of the demand in the shape of loans and theincome from military contributions, and other taxes which have already been and will be levied, will relieve the country of just so much of the cost. When the treasury report first made its appearance, the financial condition of the government was anything but satistrotory. Tho future looked very gloomy; and amidst the difficulties with which the commercial classes of the country were suZrounded, it was impossible to tell how we were to be extricated from the embarrass- ments which pressed upon all sides. At that time the shipments of specie were large, both to Europe and to Mexico, and there was every prospect of a drain continuing unless the binks suspended sp cie payments. Prices for our staple products were stead ly settling down, and there were decided indications of bankruptcy aud insolvency becomiog as general as in Europe. In view of these results, it became a grave question how the government could reiso funds to carry on the war. Variousmethods were proposed, such as an issue of Treasury notes of small denomination, an issue of stock at » high rato of interest, and the issue of large treasury note, bearing interest at the rate of seven per cent. Allthess plans were discussed in financial cir. cles, each finding strong advocates, when the doubt as to the system was dissipated by the announcement that the Committee of Ways and Means had proposed a stock loan, bearing interest at six percent, not to bo negotiated below par. As soon as this announcement was made, the opposition party papers commenced their attacks up” on the Independent ‘Treasury, proving conclusively that party prejudices were at work, and have influenced the proposition for a loan in this shape, for the purpose of forcing the government, if possible, to abandon the financial policy it adopted a little more than » year since. Wehave no doubt the majority of the Commit- tee of Ways and Means believed, when they introduced that bill, that it was utterly impossible to negotiate » loan,in the manner and upon the terms proposed; and the organs of the party the mpejority of that committee represent, are in ful! blast, endeavoring to show the im, possibility of raising money in that way, without repe: ing the Independent Treasury act. There is where the shoe pinches. The Sub-Treasury must be sacrificed | or the source of supplies cries up, is the argument of the | organs, and they foolishly believe that the government is | in the power of the banks, and must accede to their | terms. Sixty days sinoe, they could have said so with much more truth than they cannow. Sixty days since, when the foreign demand for specie was’ draining it from us at the rate of three millions per month, the Indepen- dent Treasury was in danger. When there was any probability of a suspension of the banks, the Indepen- dent Treasury was in danger of modification; but the times have changed. The suspension of the banks de- pended upon several contingencies. These contin- | gencies are rapidly wearing away, and ins few months, they will have disappeared altogether; and there is no | doubt but that before the government is much pressed for money, they will have facilities for obtaining it, equal to those realized last epring. It has, we believe, been officially announced that the shipments of specie to Mexico will hereafter be comparatively limited, and the probability is, that the receipts from the mines of that country will soon exceed the aggregate shipments since the commencement of the war. The expedition to the | mining district will soon turn the tide of specie this way from that quarter. Recent advices from England show that the money markets of Europe are rapidly improving. The Bank of England is nearly as strong is it ever was, and, with its immense resources, it must | | soon let out ; it cannot, with twelve millions sterling | in bullion, and ssven millions of reserve notes in hand, | remain inactive, and when it commences, the influence upon commercial affairs must bs of the most favorable character. Prices for our produce must advance, and in the event of speculation running high, they may reach points somewhere in the vicinity of those current last year; specie would soon take the back track, and we | should realise scenes similar to those experienced laet | yeat. Sterling exchange has alresdy tallen in this market, | and the probability is that po further shipments of specie will be made to any extent. It is our impression that by the first of May next, we shall have received back every dollar of the specie shipped within the past three months. All these things work favorable for the negotiation of a government stock loan at six per cont, without the alternative which the opposition wish to force it to. The speculating banks and capitalists of Wall streot have no influence with the government; they cannot gain their points as easily as the same class in | London has, Lord John Russell was intimidated by | the speculating capitalists of Great Britain, and under | the threat they made relative to the Bank of England, | repealed the sp:cie clause of the Peel Bank act.— Nothing of this kiod can influence the President or the | Scoretary of the Treasury; they have no sympathy for the banks, and would not care if every one in the coun try exploded to-morrow. The Independent Treasury act has saved the whole country from ruin. Its enforce- ment has prevented @ speculative movement more ex- | tensive than any ever yet experienced, the result of | which would have been exceedingly disastrous; and it is | only by the mont rigid adherence to its specie provisions | that we can presorve the curreney in its present healthy | state, and prevent those eucrmous end ruinous fluctua. | tions in public and private credit eud in prices for every | species of property. There {s no fear but that the go- | vernment can get all the money it wants, upon favoratlo | terms,and ins legitimate manner, It is sufficient for all honest people to know that the banks are opposed | to the Independent Treasury act ; that they are making | the most derperate efforts to have it repealed, to feel | convinced of the great importance of preserving it in- violable.

May it not be, however, with him as it was with Prince Ahmed in the fairy tile, that he has shot his arrow so far out of view, that the jud not being able to findit, may award the prize to some one of ins com. petitors ? But the south, notwithstanding the very bril- liaut offers of Mr. Dallas and Mr. Cass, ig still content to extend the line of the Missouri com- promise to all territory we may hereafter acquire. ‘To this the north must come; ner will it require much persuasion, Already some of the most influential advocates of the proviso doctrine de- clare that they will not any longer oppose the Missouri compromise line, and will acquiesce in it ifadopted. They now see the utter tutility of pressiog upon the country the adoption of the ex- treme views of the provieo. They would be content if the whole south would agree to de- clare, by some vole or resolution, that slavery does not now exist in Mexico, and that it can never exist there except by act of Congress, or by the express will of the people of such portione of Mexican territory as may hereafter be admit- ted into the Union as sovereign States. (Tiere is no question on any side of the right of the people of any State admitted into the Union on equal terms with the others, to choose their own institutions, provided such institutions be not adverse tothe spirit of the Constitution.) It these two propositions were admitted, the north would be ong to let this question of slavery remain open, But itis vain to expect the sean to subseribe to either of these positions. Some southern men regard slavery as already existing in Mexico, under the laws of that republie, (ale though the contrary is demonstrated,) others that it can exist in Mexican territory by the ex- tension over it of the Constitution of the United States. This is Mr. Calhoun’s view. In a former letter on this subject I did not state his argument with sufficient clearness. This is his main po- sition; he regards the United States asso many States united under a constitution which forms their bond of union. Territory eaaaied by the United States belongs to no individual State or section, but to all the States collectively. What- ever is property, then, in any one State, must be property in territory acquired by the United States. Take California as an example. In that territory, after its acquisition, Mr. Calhoun con- tend, South Carolina ought te enoy equal rights with Masssachusetts; what is held as property in South Carolina, should be held as property in California, just as much as should that which is held as property in Massachusetts; as each State should be on a political equality in | territory to which each has as strong a claim as the other. This equality would be destroyed by admitting, into California, everything which is property in Massachusetts, and excluding from itanything which is property in Senth Caroli- na. ‘This argument 18 unanswerable, and the north must have recourse to precedent to show, that this view*has not prevailed inthe settle- ment of the question in the past history of the government. Should it be left open, it will be one for judi- | cial decision, not for legislative action. As soon | as slaves shail be brought into California, a writ of habeas corpus willbe employed to set them | free. ‘The question will then be carried up from the petty courts of the territory, to the Supreme Court of the United States, and be there adjudi- cated. Should the candidate of the democratic party not be able to unite the democracy of New York on this question, there is not the smallest pozsi- bility of his success. Should General Taylor declare in favor of the compromise, aud the de- mocratic candidate be against it, there is no room for doubt that General Taylor will carry New York. As the States are now balanced, the democrats cannot do without New York, and no man who entertains extreme views on either side of the slavery question, can be acceptable to the body of the democracy of that State | General Taylor cannot well spare the strength | that Mr. Clay is taking from him day by day Should the latter desire the whig nomination, he willreceive it; but he will scarcely venture to | be a candidate, it the chances be strongly against his success. On the whole, it is impossible to predict who will receive the whig or the democratic nomina- | tion.
