We received over the wires, last night, our a) summary of passing events at Washington, Albany, end elsewhere ; but apart from the pro. ceedings in Congress and the Legislature, and transactions in the marketein the different com- mercial cities, nothing further came to hand. In the Senate, Mr. Baldwin, of Connecticut, eubmitted a series of resolutions, having for their object the settlement of the claims of Ame- roam citizens against Mexico, and to have the jevenuves, &e., collected in that country, appro- preated to that purpose. The ten regiment bill underwent another sifting, Mr. Greene taking the matter in hand, after which, there was a bill pessed allowing Mr. Black, late Charge des Affeires at the city of Mexico, the amount of a claim laid by him egainstthe government, for | services rendered; and then the Senate adjourn- ed to Monday next. la the House of Represen- the day was principally occupied with the consideretion ofthe bill for the relief of the heirs of Paul Jones, which was finally passed; wud the House aleo adjourned over to Monday next. From Albany, we learn thet Governor Young has signed the Manufacturing Bill. In the Le- gislature, both branches were busy, hammering away all dey on a variety of subjects; but on ex- amination of their labors, we find nothing that will add lustre to their reputation as law makers and repairere tatives, Ihe Presidential Hlection—Fate of Mexico.

There is a great deal said about the govern- ment joan—about the national debt—the strin- gency of the money market, and various collete- ral topics, in Washington, New York, and else- where. Rumors are circulated day after dey, sometimes that Mr. Walker is willing to modiiy the sub-treasury system, provided the banks will take the loan. This is followed up by another, that Mr. Belmont, the agent of the Rothschilds in New York, will probably take the whole loan ; aud others assert that the Em- peror of Russia has also turned financier, and is willing to take a slice. These rumors about Rothschilds and Russia are undoubtedly the idle talk of the dey. The Washington Union, the organ of the government, has contradicted the first—the last is too absurd to believe or repeat. During the pendency of the last loan, when every body was wondering who would take it, one of these financiers in | Wall street, who have since failed, and cannot pay 20 cents in the dollar, thrust his hands into | hisempty breeches’ pocket, and sagely remarked “Vil take the lean—the government need not de- spair—I’ll take it.” ‘ Yes,” some one replied, “no doubt you will take it—you’ll take anything you can get, but who the devil is fool enough to give itto you.” Probably many of these loan- takers are like this broken financier. Yet there seems to be a great deal of confusion, both in Wall street and in Washington, about the loan—about the debt of the United States— about the probability of negotiation, and about everything else connected with the financial action of the American government. Some mem- bers of Congress seem anxious to represent that the Mexican war will entail a debt of $100,000,000 in less than a year, on the finances and revenues of this country, and are ready to cry out bauk- ruptey of the government and destruction to its credit—others think the increase of the debt will help the manufacturing system, and cause an increase of the tariff laws, There is one view, however, of the present financial system of the government, in its connection with and relation to similar positions of the governmentsot Europe, and capitalists, which we have very seldom seen taken by any newspaper or statesman in this country. We will explain. About eight or nine years ago, before the first State repudiation took place, by Mississippi, in this country, the Rothschilds, of London and Paris, had made arrangements all over the con- tinent, to negotiate vast amounts of American State stocks in every large capital in Europe. They engaged a very eminent financier ot this city, who was well acquainted with the German and French languages, polished in his manners, anda capable man of business, and sent him on a mission through all the principal capi- tals of Europe, for the purpose of preparing the way,inevery mode, for the sale of American State stocks, which were to be purchased and contracted for here by them, and sent there by We have been given to understand that twenty or thirty millions of dollars, in State stocks, would have been sold in the various mo- ney markets of Europe, through this arrange- | ment made by the Rothschilds and their agents, on the continent ; but unfortunately for this grand operation, Mississippi repudiated part of her debt, other western States followed her example, and the whole thing was blown to atoms, and never more heard of. Before that explosion, Rothschild, on London ’change, advised every one asking his advice—‘invest in American stocks.” During last winter, when we resided in Paris, we became acquainted with several financiers connected with the Bourse ot that great metro- polis, and who associated intimately with the capitalists of Paris, London and Germany, and were acquainted with the financial operations of Europe and the United States. On several occa- sions, we heard it suggested that the probability was, if another revolution should take place in France, or any part of Europe, it would create a general revolution throughout the continent, and embrace in its vortex, principally, Germany, Italy, France, and England ; and in the event of sucha popular outbreak, where railroads, and eteam, and all the other improvements of the age were gradually extending, it was stated that the first shock would be against the credit of those governments, by which an amount of property equal to nearly five thousand mil- lions of dollars, being the gross amount of the respective public debts of the various States of Europe, exclusive of Russia, would be ren- dered almost worthless, and those who depended on such property, would be reduced to penury and want. Now it is well known that the Roths- childs, and the Barings, and all the great capital- iets of Europe, own vast amounts of public stocks of the different governments. In fact, be- yond the furniture of their houses, and the small amount of gold and silver they retain for balances, in their offices, the most of the wealth of the great financiers of the old world, consists of the public stocks of the various governments. During a season of peace and prosperity, the interest on those stocks are regularly paid, and of course their value is kept up; but in the event of any popular disturbance, leading to a revolution in those countries, taking place, or the death of Louis Philippe, wnich may bring about that, we have frequently heard it suggest- ed, that, in such case, there would be no stable government in the civilized world, on which such capitalists could rely, but those of the United States and Russia. In this view of the matter, it was supposed pro- beable that the time would soon come when the Rothechilds, the Barings, and other great capital- ists, would gradually withdraw their pro- perty in the different government funds in Eu- rope, and endeavor to trensfer it to the United States. It is even now said that Louis Philippe has agents in this country investing property for seems to be increasing in favor nominating Mr, Polk, and running him | a the issue of the aanexatioa of all Mex- | a rmerly didon Texas and Oregon.— | Mr. Polk, on the one side, and Mr. Clay on | er, should be the candidates, the contest will | lve anexation of the whole of Mexico, ef st country wi be decided, one | t millions of voters | fth delermiae 7 may ran inde- pende ad ay; but even this is note While ee im at ‘novements, meetings ad conv ne ting on the publie mind refer e ‘ dency, are going on e pe t ouses of Congress are ov Fi i ne riguing in pri vaie, for the same objects.

At that time, about a year ago, in Paris, | the Mexican war was in mid-career, and it was feared that it would compromise the United S ates, either with Europe or Mexico; that we would be defeated, and therefore those reasons were given by the capitalists of Europe for not trying to get the loans by which the war was to be carried on. The matter, however, 1s now changed—the war with Mexico has been suc- ful; that country is held by the United States, and probably will be retained; the whole ot its mines will come within our sphere of ac- tron, and we would not be eurpris eatire change come over the capita! rope, in regard to the public stocks of this coun- try, and that ina short time, the United States stocks would rie# beyond any thing we have any conception of it is not, therefore, a hazardous conjecture that Mr. Belmont, or some other reputed agent of the Rothschilds, may, sooner or later, be di- rected by his principals in Europe, to negotiate some of our loans,or puretase some of the stocks issued by the Vaited States government.

Indeed, in the event of a revolution ia Europe—ian England, France, Germany, or Italy—for a revolution in any one of those countries id be a revolution in Eu- rope—those clasees of society, and the prin- cipal finenciers, who depead on the faith of the governments there, and live on the interest of theur stocks, would have nothing else to look to but to the ted States, for safety and protec- tion. The sale, therefore, of vast amounts of government stocks in Europe and transfer to the United States, is highly probable during the next few years. This country 1s pro- bebly the most stable in its government, in ite institutions, and in its trade and com- meree, of any country in the civilized world. The election of our President, which would tear out the entrails of any other country, pro- duces nothing but a few amusing disturbances, as differences of opi all in perfect good hu- mor, just as it was seen at the Taylor meeting in the Bowery, the other evening. The credit of the government can’t be impaired, whatever party may be in the ascendant, nor will Congress dare to do anything to sink its credit or destroy the confidence which financiers have in the integ- rity of its engagements. The United States are going up—up—up. Europe is going down—down —down. Postion or Tuk Taytor Party.—It is time forthe friends of General Taylor to examine their position calmly, and see whether it would not be the best policy for them to organize an in- dependent movement, without reference to the whigor democratic conventions at all. From the meetings already held in this State, it is very evident that General Taylor has little chance of getting the whig vote of the State of New York, inthe Philadelphia convention. If there was any possibility of introducing him into the de- mocratic convention at Baltimore, and of pro- curing his nomination, no doubt could exist of electing him against Mr. Clay, or any other man. The candidates of the democratic party—Mr. Polk, General Cass, Mr. Buchanan, and others— would never courtenance such a thing, for they mean to keep the party together for their own purposes. It is, therefore, necessary for the friends of General Taylor to consider whether it is not time to organize themselves into an in- dependent party, to nominate electoral tick- i id get as many votes as they on the principle that he will beat the whole field, four or five years hence. RevotuTionary Wipows anp ORpHANS.—A correspondent asks us “‘why it is that our repre- sentatives in Congress make prevision for the widows and orphans of those who fell fighting in Mexico, whilst the few remaining friendless orphans of our revolutionary fathers are left to the mercy of the world? Many of them are fe- males in delicate health, unable to earn a sup- port, and consequently must depend on others for theirdaily subsistence ; whereas, if the half-pay allowed their mothers (when living) were al- lowed them, it would greatly contribute to the comfort of their few remaining days.” In reply, we can merely say, ‘the only reason why provision has not been made in this way is, that as the old proverb has it: ‘Eaten bread is goon forgotten.” We do not know, however, of a more appropriate time to urge this matter than the present, and we hope the subject will be laid before Congress. Canapa.—Republican symptoms are increasing every day in Canada. The Canadian journals are even discussing the question of ultimate se- cession from Great Britain, and of annexation tothe United States. Articles on this subject are admitted into the government, or conserva- tive, journals there. Even her public men are beginning to change ground. Not long ago Sir Allan McNab was in this city. During his stay at the Astor House, in frequent conversation with our citizens, he freely admitted the proba- bility of the ultimate secession of Canada from Great Britain, and its probable annexation to this country. Among many of the leaders of both parties there, the same sentiments are be- ginning to prevail. The new parliament in that colony will present some singular developments, before the first session will have terminated. From tae West Inpirs.—We have files of the Aurora de Matanzas to the 29th ult., but find nothing in them later than received by way of Havana. We are greatly indebted to Captain Atwood, of the bark Hecla, for his attention in forwarding our papers with such promptness; and also tothe captains of the steamers Dart and Hercules. Tue Steamer Wasnincton.—This vessel will leave her dock at eight o’clock to-morrow morn- ing, for Europe. She is in first rate order for the voyage, and great success is anticipated by her commander.

The President should also be re. quired to communicate particular accounts of all moneys collected in Mexico. Resolution ordered to be printed. A short debate took place relative to the relief of the widow of Col. McRae, Mr. Nixes opposed the principle, as dangerous. Mr Benron defended the bill, and gave a history of MoRae’s services, and other remarks, ‘The bill was passed. ‘THE TREN REGIMENT BILL. The ten regiment bill was then taken up. Mr. Gaegne opposed it, and said the character and ob- ject of the war had been entirely changed, and was now carried on contrary to the constitution. The conquest of the whole territory was inexpedient, and it would be dangerous to hold any part of Mexico. PAYMENT FOR SERVICES A# CONSUL. Mr. Mason next gained the floor, and brought forward ‘a bill for the relief of Mr. Black, our former Consul, and for some time Charge at the city of Mexico. Mr. Sevier explained the allowance required for act- ing as Charge des Affairs, and the bill was passed. The Senate then adjourned till Monday. House of Representatives.

The resolution was opposed by Mr. Henixy and others, and its consideration postponed until Tuerday next. RAILROAD TO PENBACOLA, Mr. T. B. Kina, of Georgia, presented a report from the Committee on Naval Affairs, appropriating certain landsin Alabama, Georgia and Florids, to the purpose of s railroad to Pensaccla. After considerable discussion, in which the jurisdiction of the Committee of Naval Affairs to recommend such an eppropriation was considered, and disspproved of, the question was referred to the Committee on Public Lands. ‘THE HEIRS OF PAUL JONES. The House then went into Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, and the case of John Paul | Jones was taken up for consideration. Mr. Bow ty, of Missouri, spoke at considerable length ezainet the olaim. Mr. Putnam, of New York, and Mr. Rocxwet, of Connecticut, followed, and defended the claim. Mr. Rocuwext replied to the charge, and contended | that the captured vessels were given up by Denmark to England, and proving that when those vesseis went into the Danish port, they were in the possession of an Amo- rican prize agent, and that John Paul Jones had nothin; to do with the surrender. The committee then rose and reported the bill. Mr. Bowxrn, of Missouri, offered as a substitute, that the sum of $24,000 be given to the heirs of Jones in full | > for their alleged claims. The vote was then taken, and the substitute lost by a vote of 76 ayes to 106 noes. The bill was then pasesd to a third reading, and put to vote, receiving 99 ayes and 77 noes ; 60 that it was final” ly passed by s majority of 22. Adjourned till Monday. NEW YORK LHGISLATURE.

The market to-day was not so buoyaut, and prices for the fancies fell off slightly.

Penn. 5’s declined \ per cent, Morris Canal , Canton ¥, Harlem \, Reading Railroad 1, All others closed at prices current yesterday. The transactions were not to any great extent, and the market was by no means firm. Sterling exchange has been in moderate demand to- day, for remittance by the steamship Washington, the packet of the 20th inst., Sunday; and sales have been made at 10 a 103 percent premium. Eleven per cent premium has been offered for British government bills. There isa fall supply of bills in the market, of second rate character. We quote bills on Paris, at 5f.26% a 6f25; Amsterdam, 39% @ 40; Hamburg, 353g a 36%; Bremen, 77% a 78. The annexed statement exhibits the amount of duties reoelved at Oswego on importations from foreign ports, in each of the past five years boy 8 ON ImPor’ To the collections for the year 1847, might fairly be added the sum of $85,294 96, paid at the oustom house, New York, om cargoes of wheat and flour imported into Oswego from Canada in that year. This would exhibit the duties on actual imports at that port, for the year 1947, at $57,992 61. It will be seen that Oswego is but little im the rear of Buffalo, and at the rate of progress will soon be far ahead of her. The foreign export trade of Oswego is ten fold greater than that of Buffalo; and this must necessarily, in time, materially, affeot the im- ports. We annex the quotations in this market-for the prin! cipal government and State stocks for three periods :— Paices oF rode in tHe New hong amen United § Sues 6 cogent ta ¢ 1 x 5.

This we attribute entirely to the relief in the money market, and to the greater abundance of capital seeking employment. We see no reason why our really good State stocks, and those of the general government, should range below par at any time; and those which do so now, must soon advance to their proper position. It will be perceived that Treasury notes and government sixes of 1867, are quoted above par, and we expect to see those of 1856 and 1862, soon im the same place. Treasury notes are the favorite investment of capitalists, as they are available for payments due the government, are trans- mittable, in the shape of exchange, from one point of the country to another, and convertible at any time into s funded stock, payable in 1667—a twenty year in- vestment. The passage of the new joan bill through the lower house of Congress, will have a favorable influence upon the market value of Treasury notes, as there will be no more issued than authoriesd by the act of January, 1847. The new bill authorizes a stock loan at six per cent, for sixteen millions of dollars, and prohibits its negotiation wader par. This makes the bill null and void at once; and unlese « further improvement is realized in the money market, or some change is made in the indepen- lent treasury act, which, by all means, should be avoid- ed, a more liberal bill will have to be passed, or an issue of Treasury notes authorized for the full amount. We are decidedly in favor of a stock loan, and if there ap- eared & possibility of negotiating « six per cent govern- ment stock at par, would advocate it as strongly as possi- ble; but such a method, at present, is not feasible, and should, therefore, be abandoned. One of the most im- portant features in the creed of any political party, is the tact and judgmsnt tonever propose any measure not at the time feasible, however much it may agree with its principles, a8 @ measure may at one time break downs party, and at another time give it strength and solidity. The whig party 1s opposed to the Independent Treasury system, and for the purpose of breaking down that eys- tem, or to embarrass the government in its finances #0 that it will recommend a modification of that act, the iseue of treasury notes is prohibited, and the govern- ment compelled to make a stock loan at par, or go with- out the necessary funds to carry on the war. At any other time, this party would flood the country with Paper issues; and its course Jately has been in direct op- Position to its well known principles, solely for the pur- pose, as it appears to us, of giving the Executive and the Secretary of the Treasury as much trouble es possible. It may be very well, as a party movement; it may be that the chairman of the Committse of Ways and Means, and his followers,may succeed in accomplish- ing the object they have ia view, but it is our impression that the effect will be more disastrous to the opposition party than its leaders imagine. They are like the dog in the manger—they cannot do anything themselves, and they are disposed to prevent any one elso doing any- thing. It is so inconsistent for a party s0 notorious for its paper money principles as that in power in the lower house of Congress, to refuse authorizing an issue of treasury notes, te enable the government to carry on its financial operations successfully. It is sufficiently well known that the government is decidedly opposed to pa- per money, in avy shape, and particularly opposed to the treasury department becoming a department of issue; but in time of war, measures must be adopted calculi ted to meet existing exigencies, and some sacrifice must be made to party principles. This the administration have done; and in doing so, the principal object has been economy of expenditure. On the other band, the opposition party has racrificed its principles for the purpose of embarrassing the government as much as possible in all its disbursements on account of the war. It is a desperate game they are playing, but the motive inno palpable that it can be easily fixed upon the right shoulders. There is no doubt but that this loan bill will paes the Senate at once, receive the signature of the Président. and become a law. In accordance with its provisions the Secretary of the Treasury will issue proposals for bids, and a few weeks will settle the question. As the joan must be made at par or above, no bids will of course be made below, and the Secretary of the Treasury will soon know what prospect there is of success. Should ©uropean capitalists view the terms of this loan in o fa- vorable light, it is mot improbable but that bids may be received from the other side, and we losk upon thiy ‘a5 the only chance of its being taken at par. The state- ments made relative to the Rothechilde, are something more than mere rumors,as the circumstances connected with the financial operations of that house in Mexico are such as to make ita very great inducement to take the whole or that part of this loan which would be required within the limits of Mexico. Other European capitalists may become large purchasers of United States stocks from second hands, and our cepitalists relieved in this way of much of the burden; but the Rothschilds must come in as bidders for the loan, if they wish to make their fands in Mexico available for the purpose of payment, So long as we retain possession of that country, so long will the restrictions continue upoa the exportation of speole, and so long will the funds o he Messrs. Rothechild, or any other house, be eubjeot o the payment of the duty fixed hy the Leeasury. 1¢ therefore appears that the only way for that house to make their Mexican funds available, js to take the loau of the United States, sutborived by the bill Fevently passed, and if they did not wish to hold hs whole oF say part of 1b, purehesers could bo casily
