ADDITIONAL INTELLIGENCE, FROM ALL PARTS OF EUROPE. SPECIAL DESPATCHES TO THE Wew Work Horald. Panis, January 11, 1848, Influence in Europe of the Capture of Mexico— Reception of the President’s Message, §c.—Con- trast with the King’s Spsech—Debate in the Chamber of Deputies, §c. The capture of Mexico, and the dispatches of General Scott and other officers of the army, have produced a profound impression upon the courts of England and France, and the intelligent portion of the European population ; and the tri- umphs of our arms have created a great change in the opinions of both governments and people, of the capacity and power of our country in war, and a corresponding respect for our rights is a necessary consequence ; for, with the five great European powers, their past history shows that the stronger a government may be, the more they respect its rights and listen to itsdemands. Jn England, it has done more ; for it has created a serious apprehension for the ultimate safety of her possessions on the North American conti- neat, and satisfied her statesmen that in future, in any war with America, she will meet the same spirit which has enabled American arms toaccomplish such daring deeds in the war with Mexico. Atl Europe now better understands that the United States are able to meet England in the arta of war, as well as of peace; and that on the western continent, speaking the English lenguage, a people exist who are destined soon to exceed. in numbers and power, in wealth and national resources, any one of the great Luro- pean powers. The report of the Secretary of the Treasury contrasts the influx of wealth and immediate re- sourees of our country, with the twelve millions of dollars diminution in the last year’s income of the English government, and the critical con- dition of the financial affairs of that country generally ; and in the prospective, the contrast is still greater, in favor of the United States. The United States, it is beginning here to be ua- derstood, can compete with any European coun- try in any of the important branches of national industry, and that her ships. engaged in the car- rying trade, are the finest in the world. The French admit thie frankly ; and upon this point the English have ceased to claim the superiority, except in numbers. In any of the French ports whieh I have visited, I have been proud to find the largest and most beautiful ships in the harbor, American; and all the French with whem I have conversed, say that our ships are very much superior to those of England—at least, those that visit France. France is com- paratively an inland nation, and has neither the means nor the expectation of competing with either the United States or England, in the car- rying trade; and, generally, the French people see, with great satisfaction, a nation rising up in the west, to overshadow England in all those Fespscts in which England claims universal su- periority; and, therefore, the extension of our dominions over Mexico; the addition of a coun- ty halt as large as all Europe; the acquisition of mines now the richest in the world, perhaps; the inerease ef our population eight or ten mil- hott, and the ultimate conversion of a semi- barbsvjus people and country into elements of power and civilization, create no disquietude in their minds; and they are rather pleased than annoyed in contemplating the rapid advance- ment of a country which has ever been the friend of France. The President’s message, General Scott’s patches, the reports of the several Secretaries, dac.,arrived at Parisnearly at the same time; and some ef the leading journals of Paris, not under the control of the ministry, said, after reading these documents, and contrasting the scenes and country which they unfolded with the King’s speehs it seemed, in passing from the latter to the former, ‘like making a journsy from Lilli- putto the land of Giants.” I quote the seati- meat precisely, and the language in substance. Look at the admission; and any one in France, Who understands both countries, can appreciate the force of the remark. The journalist took into view the present and future capacities of the two countries. But the Mexican war and the libels of the English press, have fixed the attention of Eureps upon the United States, and created an interest ts watch the progress of events in the Western world—and when they fina a power which England has represented threughout Europe, as no mean competitor for the United States in any trial of strength; as in- ured to the arts of war and roused to the higheat eg of national enthusiasm, annihilated ; and rarmies routed and flying from one fourth of their numbers, in a series of pitched battles, of which the world furnishes few similar examples, without one reverse ; and her ports closed, and her targe towns and the capital in the possession of the United States, this state of things arrests public attention among the intelligent portion of the people of Europe, and they look for, and read with interest, the views and explanations which each nation may present to the civilized world, of events so extraordinary. ‘Fhe public documents, therefore, emanatin; from the' United States, have been read wit universal interest—and they have created a pro- found impression upon the public mind in Eu- rope, favorable to our country ; notwithstanding the unremitted efforts of the English press to misrepresent us, aided, I regret to add, by the pens tof some Americans heated with political warfare, and, perhaps, without thinking of the use which willie made, by eur enemies abroad, of what was gaid only for effect at home. Let all who take part against our country in war, re- member that they have England and Englishmen tor allies. _P. S.—January 12, 1818.—The debate in the Chamber of Deputies has commenced witha good deal of violence, and the -ministry are as- sailed in en unusual manner, and their impeach- ment threatened. Turin, Jan. 7, 1848. The Italian Revolution, and the Pope—Highiy In- tereating Intelligence—Progress of the Peaceful Revolution. Italy is passing through the deepest and most all pervading revolutien she has seen since the middle sges—a revolution which has penetrated the entire body of society, throughout the penin- sula, and seeins likely, unless it be arrested by enuses beyond the foresight of man, to change the inetitutions of the continent of Europe.

Charles Albert, the present King of Sardinia (which embraces by the arbitrary and despotic will of the Con- gress of Vieuna, Piedmont, Savoy, the island of Sardl- nis, and the old republic of Genoa, with a population of nearly 4,000,000.) was at the head of a revolution in Italy in 1621, before he Lad any expectation of arriving at the throne.

His reign has been hardly less bloody and bigoted than that of his royal cousin of Naples. Upto the moment of the elevation of Pius 1X., he fougat against reforms with the same obstinaoy.— His State was filled with men of genius and statesmen of faine, and yet the press was in ohains.

His sway was mild and paternal, but Italy was none tho better for it. The Duke of Medona was a tiger ; be died a yoarago, and his son, who succeeded him, has shown tuat he is tiger’s whelp—bloody, fero- cious, bigoted, ignorant, and cruel ‘I'he Duke ot Lusca was another edition in 32 mo. of his Modena cousin — The Grand Duchess ot Parma, (the widow of Napoleon.) ruled a swall, but beautiful territory, by grant of the Congress of Vienna, asa kind of small potato dominion— sn offeet for the imperial crown of France. She was ® gry, imperious, witty little body, wend never cut off heads, except for a joke. She had other accomplish- ments, more generally approciated, and is said to have had more lovers than any woman in Italy. If Napoleon had been living, this would not have been so gross an outrage upon the morals of that class cf people, But be- ing a widow, we believe that even Europsan etiquette was considered to be somewhat offended by thu well known latitude of Mavia Louisa. ‘There were two other States in Italy—the littlo repub- lio of San marino, which bas about 7,000 people, perched upon a rock like un eagle’s nest; and the principality of Mor about as large as a good sized cotton fleld, and with about as many subjects as.a respectable southern planter. But from ull accounts, its prince knew conside- rably less about government than any American plonter I happen ever to have heard of. He had twenty eoidiers, Aifty spies and somewhere about # hundred sudjects.

The moment Pi IX. took the aceptre, he began to hur! this whole m of corruption, bigotry, despotism and satanism to the ground, and for eighteen months he has been making the dry bonssof the charnel house of Italy quake.

This ba ret from the Genoese would never have bech made to Charles Albert, uoless he bad espoused, with all pearance of honesty and earnestness, tho cause of the people. During the month of his visit, the city was an uninterrupted scene of festivity. Processions, with flags of liberty, that had not been seen in Genoa since the time of Nspoleon—public meetings, where sentiments of liberty and independence were freely aimed — dinners between the nobility and the lower ciassss— balls, soirees, 1nd naitonal celebrations, with liberty of prese, and liberty of speech, were some of the tokens of the uni- Versal enthusisem. Up to the day I write, the entire population of Genoa has been in a state of the deepest excitement. Not less than 20,000 ocitizcas assembled in the at piazza, before the theatre, determined to destroy the convent of the Jesuits. Genow bas been tho head quarters for many years of this odious society, and the popu feeling in that city had been exesperated to the last point against them. The friends of liberty and of order; perceiving that violence was likely to take place, oulmed the popu- lar feeling by proposing to delay the destruction of the convent until recourse nad been had to the king Ao- cordingly, a large number of tables were brought into the Piazza, and ia Jess than three hours 10,000 names were signed to @ petition for the estabiishment of a national guard, (which will put 100,000 or 200,000 muske's into the hands of the people) and the expulsioa of the Jesuits. This petition, like others already ; resented to the king, ho will be eompeiled to respect. in thismatter, kindness and enthusiesm. A large orowd of young men, nobles and others, went in procession, with torches, to the American consulate, and also to Mr. Lester’s house, with flags of liberty, and ‘ vivas’’ for the Americans, for the consulate, for the consul, for the Amercian eagle, and for Washington! Poems have been written in honor of our oblic men our institutions, and the heroes of our revo- lation. The copies of the Hereld were read and trans- lated vivu voce by professors und teachers of Engiish, to crowds, and every sentiment of liberty and sympathy for the Italians was received with shouts and vivas In consequence of this generous and popular move- ment in New York, it is reported and believed that the Pope is about to send Monsignore Ferrerl Apostolical Nuacio Extraordinary to Washington, to institute rela- tions with our cabinet. We hope that Mr. Poll will, in return, send tothe Holy See somo distinguished, prudent, liberal, and high-minded learned man to represeat at that court the New World.

The glory in- deed is immense.

In fact, it is all loss, with nothing but more loss in the prospect. Military toys are very heart rending affairs. Go to the “Noah's Ark,’ or the “ Rocking Horse,” and you will find that a miniature army in good training and conditioa, with gery arm of the service complete, costs not less than ten shillings. After a month’s marching and fighting on the table or the floor, the once imposing force will be wofally shat- tered. Infantry will have falien, cavalry will be pros- trate, cannons dismounted, wagons out of gear, and a débrie of arms, legs, caps, wheels, guns, and trumpets at the bottom of the box will bear melancholy witne: to the casualties of even a bloodicas campaign. Of your teu suiilings there is not much to show. Toe bssutiful uew toy called the “ Mexican invasion,” sold at Pol store, and constituting a sequel to the “ Noble Game of Texas,” brought out at Tylor’s emporium, shows by this time about as much for the doll it has cost. Seott, Taylor, Worth, and afew other fiae fellows, are written on the page of American fame, and some ten or a dezeh millions of British pounds sterling are added to the sum of American debt. It is only the other day that the politicians and moralists of the United States hailed the near approach of a millennium which we un- fortuaates on this side of the Atlantic are compelled to assign to the sublimest futurity. In one er two more years the Union, it was confidently asserted, would not owe adoiler In fact, the public deot due Maroh 4, 1845, was only 17,788,799 dollars—not four millions of our money. There are people, however, to whom it is posi- titively danger: to have money inhand. They re- quire the discipline of debt. Our Ameriosn cousins bear too strong a family ressmvlance to our own humble ‘Ives to do without some such control. Apy how, in March, 1845, they showed themselves purse-proud and ous. The result is, that since that day they added to their debt $27,870,859, and, even, with an immediate increase of taxation, will require a further loan of $17,000,000 for the next half year. By the end of next June, therefore, the additional debt entailed by the war will be about $45 000,000; more than £10,000 000 of ourmouey. The cost of the war, however, has been amuch greater figure. But for Mexico there would have been an aooual surplus of some million dollars. The mere produoe of the sale of public lands for the cur. rent year, amounts to $3 500,000. Perhaps, therefore, we ought to put down to the expenses of the war up to next june, every dollar of the thenexistiog debt, which will be near $63,000,000, This money, beit observed, th. Union is borrowing at 6 por cent; nor is there mush likelihood of their soon borrowing at more comfortabie terms. This is agood price for glory, especially of that sort which is won off the miserable Mexicans. Mean- while, two interesting questions ocoupy the American pablic., First, how is the war to be carried on? Second- ly, how is itto be paid for? With regard tothe firat, we forbear to inflict on our reagers various ingenious plans fer carrying on “a little war,” or baif war; for drawing a live aud suspending the invasion, like one cf our railways, ata certain point. Whatever may huve ocourred to the imagication of Mr. Clay, or Mr. Cal- houn, there are, in fact, only two alteroatives in the matter. ‘The one is to conquer Mexico, hol and ulti- Siely ann: x it—if the Amoricanscan.
