The European intelligence which we give in our columns to-day, in addition to what we gave yeaterday, is highly interesting. Revolutionary feeling seems to increase in Paris, and all over Europe. Adecided movement has taken place in Naples, the particulars of which will be found elsewhere. In Paris a crisis seems to be ap_ proaching, somewhat similar to that which pre- ceded the revolution of 1880, driving out the elder Bourbens, and elevating the Orleans family to the throne. The movement inthe Chamber of Deputies, and the jeeling of the journals and the popu: lace, can’t be mistaken. It appears that a series of political banquets, held by the opposition members and their friends throughout France, have increased and concentrated political feeling so much against the goverment, as to demand from the ministers some decided action. A debate accordingly took place in the Chamber ot Deputies, of a most exciting character, at the termination of which the ministers, declared their intention of putting down those banquets, as being contrary to law. On the other hand, the opposition members have put forth their de claration to atrend them, and to take measures to support them at all hazards, or secede from the Chamber. The first conflict will produce a crisis in Paris, and probably throughout France. This popular movement, growing out of the reform banquets in France, resembles in some respects the premonitory symptons of the revo- lution of 1830. The Bourbon dynasty became very restless and uneasy under the freedom of the preas. They published ordinances repressing that freedom; and on the back of that, two hun- dred and twenty-one members of the Chamber of Deputies organised wnat may be called a secession from their seats in the house. This lighted the train which produced the revolution of that day. The steps and symp- toms of the presentcrisis are somewhat similar. The ministers declare that the reform banquets are illegal, and that they mean to put them down by force—the opposition members equally de- e'are that they will attend them, and, if force is used to put them down, they will secede from the Chamber, and throw themselves on the country for support. This will bring on another in Paris, and no one can tell what may grow out of it. The whole Paris press, with the exception of the Journal des Debats aud the Conservateur, are, we believe, arrayed against the present dynasty or the present government Popular agitation in Paris has not been higher for the last twenty years. Recent events in Switzerland, Naples, and in the Roman States, | and other portions of Europe, have only added fuel to the fire of revolution, which has been increasing gradually for the last few years. Such is the present position of Paris, France, 2ad the Contine The next news, therefore, wil! be extremely important. If the French mi- uisters pat down these reform banquets by force, aad the opposition members abandon their seats in the Chamber of Deputies, nothing would seem to prevent an attempt at revolution in Paris, and throughout the departments. The King and the government have, however, got three hundred thousand troops under their command; fifty thou- sand of whom ere constantly stationed in Paris | and thet neighborhood. If the troops are faith- ‘ul, they may sustain the governfnent for a while; the army.

A mere enumeration of all these circumstances, without any comment or remark—without any attempt to analyse or ex-| amine them—without any cffort to extract an issue, and to pronounce a true verdiet upon the whole complicated affair, would be almost amus- ing, so strange and heterogeneous is this com- pound of circumstances; yet neither party dére defeat it. Let us give a brief enumeration, a catalogue —but not a catalogue raisonné—of some of these things. Here we have a conquered nation on the one hand, a victorious people on the other; the conquered proud, and beathing the defiance of war ;‘the conquerors repentant, and suppliant for peace ; the conquered powerless, and able to do nothing ; the conquerors powerful, and not knowing what to do; the conquered spurning peace ; the conquerors begging and coaxing, aud anxious to geta peace ; a nation unterrified by its defeats and ruin, and retusing to organise a government with which to conclude a peace ; @ government terrified at its successes and con- quest, determined to make peace, and no one to make it with ; a commissioner sent to treat for peace—a wily pretence of treating for peace ; the commissioner and the conquering General hoaxed ; bloody battles unnecessarily fought, and brave men sacrificed through this hoax —thg commissioner recalled in disgrace— the Victorious general suspended and disgraced —a treaty then hatched up by those two dis- graced and unauthorised persons—a foreign power joined with them in concocting a volun- teer act of unauthorised diplomacy—the once duped hasting to be asecond time duped—this no-treaty springing from no-authority, made with no government, sent on to the executive which had disgraced the volunteer negotiators —this executive immediately jumping at the treaty and accepting it—a party in the nation clamoring for the instantaneous ratification of it—a Senate solemnly deliberating upon the ac- ceptance of this treaty—a tribute of many mil- lions to be paid by the conquerors to the con- quered ~barren regions of wild land offered in return, as payment for our glory—no possible se- curity for peace in this treaty—no indemnity, but a reversion of claims, the conquering nation paying indemnity, and the conquered people re- ceiving 1t—British claims guaranteed by this treaty—the British stepping in and getting the fruits of American blood and valor—the Ameri- cans paying the expenses and receiving a terri- tory, the chief part of which is already given away to the British and othera—cities, mines, fortreeses, castles, sea ports, revenues, all the substance and security we have got in our hands, to be hastily abandoned for the shadow and se- curity of an invalid piece of parchment—and yet neither party, whig or democrat, have cou- rege to defeat it. Here is a partial enumeration of simple facte— a brief catalogue of some, not all, the circum- stances. It requires merely to look at these facts, simply to hear them—the trouble of thought may be spared—it wants no deep argument or well- poised debate, or solemn deliberation, to see at once through all the maze of this chaos, of this mal-adroit mismanagement and preposterous confusion of undefined purposes. Then to re- flect that we have a party of persons in this ne- tion, esteemed, and esteeming themselves, rea- sonable beings, actually eager and zealous for the instantaneous and uohesitating acceptance of such a treaty! Solema journalists putting forth long and elaborate articles to prove the immedi- até desirability of taking up such a treaty and such apeace! It almost passes credit. Will pos- terity believe it? And yet neither party dere defeat this awful treaty. It would carry us far beyond the due length of an editorial, were we to continue our observa tions, and to take up and examine, 1n any detail, the questions which present themselves on th:s dense and complicated array of strange and pi- tiable circumstances. We will, therefore, for the present, confine ourselves to a brief view of the nature and character of the Mexican parties with whom this volunteer piece of verdant di- plomacy has been negotiated. The three Mexican commissioners who— themselves also as well as the American side, without any legitimate or valid commission— have thrown together this batch of incongruous articles, which they and the whigs call a “peace,” are Snr. Moray Villamil, Bernardo Couto, and Snr. Atristain. The latter of these persons is well known as a skilful, deep, intri- | guing banker and broker, long connected, and almost a partner with the English agent, Mr. McIntosh. His character is sinister and void of confidence. Couto isa man of sagacity and in- telligence, but said to be most bitter against the Americans—an astute, cunning and tortuous | negotiator, with all the treachery, faithlessness and duplicity of the Mexican character. Villamil is known ts a good-natured, tractable man—an easy tool in the hands of his more artful coadju- tors. These individuals, it is to be believed, like their countrymen in general, are ready, if neces- | sary, to break a condition within an hour after | they have made it, and would think it not dis- | honorable, -but rather the contrary, to keep no good faith with Americans. These Mex- ican negotiators had, and have, no more actual power end authority to make a va- lid treaty than any three boys in our office. The members of the Mexican Congress at Quere- taro are notsufficient in number to forma quo- rum, consequentlythere isno government at Que- retaro. Those individuals who call themselves, for the present purpose of duping “‘ los Yankees” | but the extraordinary force of the newspaper | | press, and popular agitation produced by the steps | of the government, may reach the materials of | ty. | | Laws.—A letter from our Washington corres- | gradual repeal and modification. We give in| | our paper to-day some curious paragraphs from | the London journals onthe subject. One of the | | to the public authorities with a petition request- | ing the preservation of those laws, aad threaten- | ing, in case of their modification or repeal, to | by a pretended treaty, ‘‘the government,” are denounced throughout all Mexico as traitors to their country, and almost every State of tue Mexican confederacy has openly disavowed their acts, and pronounced against them. Public opin- ion, such as it is in Mexico, is universally against them ; while the priests—the potentia! movers ofthe public—are decidedly againstthem Under such circumstances, it is a farce to call the few uninfluential individuals who have been dealing, and we may well say double dealing, with Trist and Co., “the Mexican government!” And yet neither party in the Senate, dare deteat it. All these things considered, what sort of a spectacle shall we exhibit to the world by even only taking serious notice of a treaty hatched up in this manner? But if the form of ratification were gone through—and it would be but an idle form—if as soon as an installment of a few hard millions are paid down, and our armies are with- drawn, it is then diecovered that we are posited just where we stood when we began, when Gen Taylor firet marched on to the Rio Grande, or rather in a much worse condition, having lost al} our time, our brave men and our money, and all in vain, what sort of a spectacle shall we then present? We should be the laughing stock of every nation in the world, and especially of Mexico. And yet neither party, whig wor demo- cratic, dare take the responsibility of defeating this hideous treaty—hideously negotiated, by hideous diplomatist Mr. Webster and the whigs may talk against it; but they must swal- low it, head, shoulders and heels. In fact, there is no one distinguished politician, in the Senate or out of it, that has the moral courage to defeat | this terrible treaty—-except one ‘personage, aud that isthe Hon John Donkey, of Donkeydom the editor of the journal “ of that ilk,” published in New York and elsewhere. Nomitarion ov de Buomara 3x Pow vasia ~The nominetion of Mr. Buchanan, Se- cretary of State, as a candidate for the next Presidency, by the democratic State convention which met at Harrisburgh on Saturday last, is a very important event in the present state of the Presidential canvass. We gave the particulars by telegraph yesterday. It came on us with great surprise. We had no idea of the extraordi- nary strength which Mr. Buchanan possessed in his own State. He seems to have overruled all rivals, from any part of the Union. This movement by Pennsylvania will place Mr. Buchanan as one of the strongest candidates for the Presidency, before the democratic conven- tion, to be held in Baltimore in May next. Heretofore General Cass, in consequence of the nominations he has received in Michigan, Ohio, and Illinois, has been considered the leading democratic candidate; but now, Mr. Buchanan seems to be neck and neck, and we are not sure but that he passes him somewhat in the race. At all events, according to every symptom, Mr. Buchanan hasa beter chance than any other candidate named, to get the vote of the State of New York, if it isto be got at all. There isa most bitter hostility to General Cass among the politicians of New York, growing out of the de- feat of Mr. Van Buren, by his friends, four years ago. They might support Mr. Buchanan 1n pre- ference to any other man. If Mz. Polk be not a candidate, the race would then seem to be be- tween Mr. Buchanan and General Cass, with some slight advantages in favor of the former. ‘We suppose, at all events, according to present appearances, that one ofthese distinguished states- men will be the man. In that case, we shoul) net be surprised to see the whigs nominate Mr. Clay, if he should not decline. It is now stated positively by the friends of General Taylor, that Mr. Clay will, decline in favor of their candi- date. If he should do so, and General Taylor should be nominated, then farewell to any can- didate of the democratic party for the next four years. In the meantime, Mr. Clay is coming on to spend a few days in New York, to receive the hollow compliments of politicians in thie region, as he did eight years ago, when they féted him with equal noise, and on the first chance turned their backs on him. A more un- reliable set of men than the politicians of New York, can’t be found in the thirty States of this Union. Buchanan stock is, therefore, up. Pennsylva- nia is up, for the first time, tor the Presidency, and it seems only fair to give her a chance. FasHionaBLE Movements.— The grand fancy dress ball which will be given to-night, will turn out to be a splendid affair, if we are to credit all accounts. Several hundred tickets, of both classes, have beenissued, at six and ten dollarseach. Tne of the city will be there, besides a vast concourse of spectators, at a dollar each, in the gallery. It will be a great sight. It is said that tne last note of the nightingale is always the sweetest and strongest. Perhaps this may apply to the grand fancy ball; for we are given to understand that the Opera will close for several weeks after to-night, and many inti- mate that it will never re-open under the pre- sent management or its present auspices. Thus far the opera season has been unsuccessful in its receipte and payments. The whole pro- gramme seems to have been badly arrang- ed. With a selection of the best singers of that very extensive troupe—the working singers, not the idlers—the managers might have mede money, even out of the re- cent houses, had they made their appearance in any ordinary theatre and received the same amount of patronage. It was attempted to give an air and character of superb exclusiveness there during the present season; but such attempt is always uopopifar in such a community as we have in New York. The expenses of the Opera have been more than necessary. any of the singers have been enjoying high salaries, with- out doing any work. Another cause of misfor- tune has been in the miserable stuff which has been published, in the shape of critiques, by the organs of the managers. Some of the best sing- ers, and those who brought the finest houses, have been written down, while weakness, imbe- cility, and respectable old age, have been written up, if possible. Can nothing be done toset the Opera on its legs again for the remainder of the eeason? Must the subscribers lose the twenty-two nights yet tobe given? It would be better for them to raise a subscription of fifty or a hundred dollars each, and set the Opera again on its legs, than for it to go on in the way in which it has been going for the last few wecks. Bartisa Desians on Cusa.—A singular deve- lopment was made in the British House of Com- mons on the third ultimo. Lord George Bentinck made a long speech on the West Indies, by way of | a preface for asking for a committee on the subject | of West Indian interests generally. In this speech | he made a positive declaration that thé Britieh government had a perfect right to seize the Island of Cuba for the debts owing to England by the Spanish bond-holders. He avowed the purpose, also, of liberating all the slaves there, soon ofter | the seizure should be made by the British govern- | ment. A committee was granted on the subject, to make inquiry into West India effaire, the seizure of Cuba included. What will the inhabitants of Cuba say to such & purpose, now openly avowed in the British Parliament, and 2 committee appointed to deli- berate on the matter ? Anextract from this speech will be found in our columns to-day.
