News from Euroje. The steamship Washington is now in her thir- teenth day, and may be expected on Wednesday or Thurscay next. later intelligence. She will bring cight days The United States Senate and the French Revo.utien, During the last two or three days, a debate has been going on in this venerable and excel- lent body, on the propriety of passing a resolu- tion, which was brought forward by Mr. Sena- tor Allen, expressing the prompt sympathy en- tertained by the senatorial representatives of the American people for he recent mighty, megni- ficent, and glorious revolution which was begun in Paris on the birthday of Washington, and ended, on the third dey therafter, in expelling from the throne a tyrant and a corruptor of the morals of the French people—a despot of the meanest kind—a persecuter and contemner of the freedom of the press and of speech, in al! their stages. This resolution, so justly expressive of the sympathy of the American people, lms been de- | bated for three days, and is on the verge ot be- | ing laid on the table of the venerable and re- | spected United States Senate, because it is yet | uncertaif what the issue of the great event in Paris may be, or whether they will Whig . We have stated, on the authority of a New Bedford paper, the rumor that the friends of Mr. Webster, and, perhaps, Mr. Webster himself, | were hostile to the nomination of Gen. Taylor, by the whig convention at Philadelphia, asa tatemeat | lt probably means that | candidate for the Presidency. Tai cughtto be qualified the whigs of Massachusetts and New England are first in favor of Mr. Webster, but may be open for the consideration of Geaeral Taylor's claims efter it shall have been ascertained that Mr. Webster can have no chances; and this, ac- cording to present appearances, is the real state Massachusetts, and, perhaps, of New England. in & very curious controversy between the Tri- York, and the Boston Atlas, the organ of Mr, Webster and his friends in New England. In reply to some article frem the Tribune, the Bos- ton Alas has the following very pregnant para- graph:— Marsachusetts, Beston, havo expressed their prefe- renes. Isitnetagoodone? Isit nota whig one? But how has The Tribune met it? Witha dead silence it hos turned the cold shoulder to the greatest of north- ers statesmen; and now, because we will not relinquich our first choice, and the best and greatest man in the nation for the office, to go with it for ite favorite, we are to be told that we evince a“ p-opensity to speculate in the Presidential succession, not forgetting the Vive Pre- sidency We prefer a Northern misn, this time, es our candidate; and we could have had one, beyond ali doubt. ifthe northern press had been true to itself. We shall national convention hearty support. We are free to say that we are for Mr Wabster sgainst the world He is the most justly en- titled te it” We hops ho will gat it. If, however, he ehould not be the succes il one, and the cenvention go for oue who will give as- reference to one who, however much we love and respect him, will, in our bumble j idging from the presen: aspect of affairs, fail ‘on a8 signally 6s he failed in 1844. There can be no mistake in the meaning of the closing sentence of this paragraph. Their first choice in Massachusetts and New England, is Mr. Webster, forthe Presidency—their next is, undoubtedly, General Taylor, for no other name stands in the same position with the expression used here. In reply to-this intimation, the Tyi- bune hes the following paragraph, which is, indeed, quite curious and emusiog :— It is entirely a mistake that we spoke as we did, bo- cause Masssciusetts or Bos‘on “will not relinquish her first choics ? Wo sooke on the assumption that » sec- tion of active and influeotial politicians there bad relin- quisbed this “choice.” if they over seriounly entertained it, and were using the name of Mr. Webster asa cover to their manoeuvera to carry the New England d-legates at Philadelphia for Gen Taylor, and thus secure the nomination of a prominest and active Bostonian (of course not Mr Webster) for the Vice Presidency Whether there is any such game onfoot, and whether If thers be, (ss who doubts?) we think it cannot secure the deliberate, open, hearty assent of New England, but must be carried, if at all, by indirection If there be, all that we propounded in our “plaia talk” is pertinent aod timely. And we say again to the 4t(as, under the most solemu conviction of its truth, that if its southern alter- native, who is exp cted to “give assurance of victory,” should be nominated under aurpices which will give him the votes of Loutsiana, Mississippi and Texes, ho is vary likely to lose the vetes of New York, (rather an item.) of Ohio, Vermont, end even Massachussetts itselt Would not his chance, afier that, fall considerably short of an “assurance of victory,” and his support be apt to prove a thriftless speculation ? Here is a distinct threat, that ifthe whigs of New England should abandon Mr. Webster, end take up General Taylor in the national convex tion, the loss of certain States enumerated will | be the consequence. The best reply to this threat of the Tribune 1s its own article—the pa- ragraph immediately preceding which presents as complete a specimen of seli-stultification as was ever presented in a newspaper article, We cannot egrce with the filae, that our defeat in 1844 was overwaclming, when a chenge of 2.600 votes in this State, or a saving of two-fifths of the anti-Texas votes. thrown away on Birney, weuld have given us t! victory. Aud as the .4:lcs gravely asks whether “the signs of tho times sre as favorable for Mr. Clay now a they were in 44,” we wiil geutly remind it thet New York was then under locofoco rule throughout, by vir- tae of majorities of ten to twenty-two thousand ; and now this samo Naw York is under whig ruie by virtue of msjorities ravging from elevon to thirty-five thou- rand. and our opponents havo two distinct organizations throughout the State, and two sets of delegates to their nationel convention.

An event which makes the mind tingle, through all classes | of society, wherever the news has reached, is | paused on by the United States Senate, debsted on, and probably will be laid eside in @ com- mitte What a spectacle among a free peo- ple! What conduct in the highest representa- | tive body of the American republic! We do not hesitate to pronounce such conduct, in the midst of the feelings which the great event in Paris has evolved in this and every | community around us—we do not hesitate to pronounce the conduct of the American Senate | a disgrace, a shame, a dishonor, an atrocity, in | the face of the civilized world. The members of that body—be they high or low, eloquent or | turgid, o!d or young—who protract or delay | the expression of profound s y for the glo- rious revolution of Franc e recreant to their | position, to the honor, to the institations, and to the feelings of theirancestors. Tris conduct i indeed atrocious; but when we fied it side by side, on the same day, with an equally atrocious but lees marked attempt, on the part of this body, to interfere with the independence of apress, by imprisoning its correspondent for refusing to tell what they had no right to ask, it is but nataral to expect such conduct from such abody. The corrupt influences on which Louis Philippe found- ed his government and dynasty, are already be- ginning to find their way into the Senete of the United States, and into the White House itself. Are the doctrines, the eulogics, which we fiud in a volume enutled * France—its Court, King, and Government, by an American,” | and published by Wiley & Putnam, of New York, | in 1840, now operating upon and influencing the conduct of the United States Senate ? The indignation of the whole country will soon be felt, even in Washington, avd within the walls of thas chamber. Wait and see its beginnings, next Mondey, when the whole peo- ple of New York, without distiaction of party, meetinthe Park, to express their opinions on the glorious expulsion ef Louis Philippe, and the | erection of a republic in France, d the puffs, | Tue Apvertisina Besinsss —The business community should recollect that the advertise. | ments in the Herald are new every morning, | and as interesting as the city intelligence, or | news from Washinston, orelsewhere. We have baniened from our columns the repetition of stale, stereotyped advertisements, which crowd the broad dull sheets of many of cur contempo- raries, and which are thrown aside, as waste | and lumber, by all the subscrivers to those jour- nals. The public appears to have appreciated the economy and freshness of our advertising system; for our business, in this reepect, has been increasing to a much greater extent than we ever anticipated. Such is the fact. We will not boast of our circulation, because we publish it every morning, and every one may judge for himself; but we can venture to say that the eg- gregate circulation of the Herald is now greater | thanthat of any paper in the world; eud if any | single paper mm New York is wiiling to have a | thorough investigation of thie fact, we are ready | to compare records with it | ‘Tore Paexon Cuamner or Derurres.—Our read- ers ere referred to the account, in another co- Juma of this day’s paper, of the Chamber of De- puties of France—the Choimber under the reiga of Louis Philippe.

We are not sure but that General Tay- lor, even in the State of New York, would poll a larger vote then any other man. It is well knowa that the barnburners, at the Utica Con- vention, in this State, passed a resolution in his favor; and in the event of the democratic con- vention in Baltimore throwing Mr. Van Buren, there ere thousend: his friends and his influence, overboard, we | rather think the baraburners im New York would , sooner support Geoeral Taylor than any other man likely to be nominated by the Pailadelphia whig convention. Mr. Philosopher and Mr. Politician Greeley, like the animal in the well | known fable of Azsop, completely answers him- seli, and perpetrates one of the ne self-stultification that ever took place. From these developements, furaished by the | | leading organs of Mr. Clay in New York, and Mr. Webster in Boston, it is very pro- bable that there will be a great contest in the whig convention between the two sets of delegates. The New England dele- | gates will undoubtedly go for Mr Webster | as their first choice, and G-neral Taylor as their second. This position of things will give a bet- ter chance for General Taylor’s nomination by | the whig convenuon, than anything that hus yet taken place. Me. Webster knows very weil | that as « candidate for the Presidency, he would concentrate against him even a large portion of the whig party. His notions, hia principles,aod the prejudices entertained against him, are too | strong to be overcome by political whig feeling ; atthe South or West; but it is, probably, the best policy for Mr. Webater to stand on his own section of the country, and on his own influence, in order to make the best arrangement witn | General Toylor, should he be nominated and elected at the next contest. Ia that cuse, Mr Webster would come in as the principal candi- date for Secretary of State under General Tay- Jor, and for the succession to the Presidency itself. We are very much disposed to think, looking at these movements, and the influences et work in New York and in New England, that General Taylor’s chances for the nomination by the whig convention are locking up, his letters to the con- (rary notwithstanding. He is undoubtedly the most available military candidate of the day— has less shocked the country by his correspon- dence, and has more popular elements about him than any other man connected with the cam- There is an old feud aod rivalry between Mr. Webster and Mr. Clay; and the chances of Mr. Clay’s succeeding at the con- vention will revive it to its original and ancient intensity. Oathe other hand, the democrats are nurrowing the circle of their candidates, and gradually settling down almost to the selection of Mr. Polk. Polk and Taylor may be the pro- gramme, after all. Mvcn Avo asovr Notmnc.—From the self- pufling paragraphs and articles in the journals, about the report of Mr. Webster's recent speech inthe Senate, one would think, if these jour- nals are to be believed, there was none but Mr. Webster able to make a speech in Congress, and nove but themselves able to report it.

A French journal, published daily, of the de- Seripilon we indicated, would, no doubt, eue- ceed remarkably well; and as soon as our ma- chinery aud arrangements are completed, we willtake the mutter into serious consideration. At present, however, our arrangements are just sufficient to meet the wants of the public for the New York Herald, and hardly enough to satisfy the demand for that journal. Ovr work- men are busy night and day—one set relreving another from the beginning tothe end of the | week; and yetit is impossible to meet the grow- ing demand of the community for copies of our journal. In a few weeks our new macisinery | willbe ready for actior- machinery that will enable us to print two daily journals at the same | time, and throw off from twenty-five to thirty thousand sheets per hour. At present, with our old machinery, we can do nothing Jike that. About the time that the steamships will be in- creased so as to make a ferry of the Atlantic— giving us intelligence once or twice » week—we shall be enabled to bring the new arraggements into proper action. The new events in Europe | will give an impulse to the newspaper prese in this | city beyond what ever was imagined—or we are willing to fancy. Whatever be the result, from | recent events in Paris, a mighty shock has been | given to the existing state of sceiety in Europe, and it will take years before it will settle down | into quiet action again. A new French duily | journal here would, no deubt, succeed wonder- fully; and with our new arrangements, we will be enabled to publish such a paper simultaneous- | ly with that of the Herald. | _ ImpoRTANT PROM ALnaNy.—The able Code of Procedure prepared by David Dadley Field and David Graham, Esqs., of this city, has been almost unanimously adopted by the Legielature of this State. MEETINGS IN THIS CITY LAST NIGHT. ke. ke. &e. Inism Rerverican Mertixc —A meeting for the | drawing together the two great parties of the Irish po- pulsiion of the city, was held! at the Shekepeare Hotel last night. The meeting was organized by calling Pat’k Lynch tothe chair, who, in an elaborate specoh, ex- plained the purposes for which the meeting was called, viz. : the union of the Irish, the contemplation of the liberty of Ireland, sud sending a deputation to Francs, | asking her assistance, requesting that guns and ammu- nition may be landed upon her shores, in the arrange- | ment of the achievement of Ireland’s liberty. The meet- | ing wes addressed by several prominent friends of the cause, and throughout the whole, the utmost harmoay and good feelin, Veep x A committee of French, Germans, Iteliens. and Ameri- cans, calied at the meeting, and after the usual saluta- tion, the necessary arrangements for the demon- stration on Monday, were fixed upon. It wasa more enthusiastic meeting than has taken place for rome time; and from the patrictio feelings ma- Difested, the cause of Ireland will prosper in their hands. ‘The following address was adopted, with the highest enthusiasm :— “Men of Ireland, lift your heads! Americans are our brothers, and addrers you through the people of france. Do you love liberty? You do! and therefore Amerioa decrees that you s! fuliy, aud at once enjoy the light of your first Jove, the sunshing of freedom. Do you love your native land? What an insult to ask the question. Do you hate, with aholy hetred, that roverament which keeps you in the dust? You do. Woshingtoa and the sword achievad our independence; andthe bones of your countrymen, who, as your yan- guard for human liberty, have whitened our eoil, wili yet tustify to the triumph of Icish freedom. Will you b:- tray yourselves now? No! We doubt that man who hesitates upon this, Ireland's opportunity, We worehip our God inevery way. We, the people, are sovercigns la our own land.

Your agitation, like ‘ours, is based upon principles which must unite the fainily of nations in one bend of universal freedom. Liverty, equslity and fraternization is the motto, forming a psr- fect trinity ef brotherhood, which, like your own ined oe » ‘Awake! arize! or be forever fallen.’” Inisu Rereat Mretina.—The meeting of the Re- peal Association, held last night at Tammany Hall: was a perfect failure as @ “Repeal Associa- tion.” It was expected that the exploded doo- trine of repeal, which, im republican America, had for so long a period agitated the public mind, would have been again brosched, ag a sufficient panacca for Iceland’s wrongs in her present oppressed condition; but when it was ascertained that the meeting fully endorsed the sentiments io relation to Ireland, put forth at the different meotings held during the last week at the Shakspesre hotel, several flocked forward from the Irish meeting held there; upon which Gregcry Dillon, Eeq., President of the Irish E tion Society, was called to the chair, and Charles , Esq., acted as Secretary. B. O’Connon, Esq, hereupon proposed the following resolutions, which were unazimously adopted: — Whoress, the overthrow of kingly government in France, aud the establishment of » republic’ by the french people, are events cresting a new era in the peliticel condition cf mankind: Resolved, That wa, the United Irish Repeal Associa- tion of New York, offer our heartfelt congratulations to the peeple of the Freneb republic, admiring the intrepid gallantry which has scieved, and editied, by the publio Virtues which have cheracterized their signal triumph ever royal power. Renclved, That we regard tho creation of the present republic im France as @ eure precursor to the speedy emancipation of the nations of Hurope from the vassi- lage of monerchicai despotism. Resolved, That the repablis of France is destined to enjoy a duration of existence as imperishable as the principles which bave given it birth; proclaiming not the right of man to eelf government from the licentious- ness of opinion, which deified human reason, and pro- duced a “ reign of terror,” in 1792, but owning tha in- fluence of morality and religion, »bolishes ths punish- anent of death for political offences, and asserts the li berty, cquality sud fraternity of man. Resolved, That from the Rspusiic ia Francs the de- claraticn has gone forth of the iresom ond regenera- tion of Ireland—that when the eloquent Lawartins, Minister of Foreign Affairs, makes the proclamation that themighty nation of France is now the champion of freedo.n througiout the world, it is the desth-kneli of British misruls over the oppressed Irish po 5 Resoivec, That if the Ministry of England hesi‘ate to grant conceecions which have now become a political neceasity to yi+ld, tho rights and privileges ao long with- eld will be wrung from them by tost invincible valor which declares iis determination to obtain it, “ thouga graves should yawn and gibbsts cross its path.” Resolved, That wo ournestly cail on the Irish people, at this crisis in their aap, destiny, to emulate that spiric of fraternity exhibited by the people of Frares; so combine for the regsneration of theic native loud, forgettul of the differences whioh have distrec their counsels and weokened their energies, preeenting the noble spectacle of a band cf united patriots struggling to re-establish on Irish soil the rigats {rishme!

The provisional goveroment also, as iteaid, becsuse the revoluiion had been made by the people, it ought also t» be made for them; and us the question of labor, seid they, is one of extrems in portauce, the provisional government deerees a permia- nent commission for workmen, wita the special purpose of occupying (heim elves with their business. Now we see how we can recognise the principles of this revolu- mm as old acquaintances; they are not strangers, but friends, snd ws aro giad te find them in such good com- pany atlast (Laughter) We seein the whole movement the mode of condusting a reform, which we have always contended for,and which has brea maintained by as- | sociattonis's irom the beginniog. I wiil allude to the religious character of the movement, wh ch is a feature ia {tof no common interest. For the first time in thoir history, the psople of France have destroyed a throne, without destroying any thingelso. They have now es- tublished a republic under the sanction of reifzion ; aad whils they were trampling the crown under thair feos, they elevated the cross to that digaity waich belongs to it. We find that this revolution has, too, been condusted by men of intellige2cs, not mers empitic:, but by men ct largo end comprehensive i Tey are philo-o- phers, posts, aud historians, who have the culture of ail the lesraing that Fraoce can give, and who, ia their sommunion wit first prinziples, have got » lamp that will lead them ssfely in the course whiea they have been oalled on to pursua.

This is the interpretetioa of the great parable of the French revolution, Mr. Ripley then pro- posed the following resolution: : — Whereas, The recent stupendous event which bas erected a republic O2 the ruins of the throne, ia that no- ble wed beaniiful Francs, where have been cradled the most fraittul ideas of modern times—an event which bus caused ths boaty abuses of Europa to quake with ter- ror, and every true American heart to leap with joy—aa erent which, in causing the king of the barricades to give place to the people of the barricades, has opened a steering prosprct for the speedy emancipation of tho enthralled nations, and the consequent elevation of hu- mavity, may be regarded at once as the sublims eff-ct and a splendid illastration of the vital ideas whieh form the mors conepicuous elements in the soctal ectence an- | nounced by Charies Fourier—of the ideas to whica our brethren of the Pnelansierianechool in Paris,Considerant, | Doherty, Hennequio, Laverhaut, Blanc, Cautagrel, and | otter distinguished men with whom we sre proud to | co-operate, have devoted the best energies of their li | wey therefore, the Associationists of Ne» York, in bebelf of ourselves and of our fellow assceiationists in tho | United States, in ths full assurance of their enthusies- | tc sympathy with tue procoodings of ths meeting, in order tO express our deep ani heart-felt s+nce of the | glorious moral tetump which hes been achieved for | the caure of usiversal hucanity, aad with ® pro‘owad recogaition of the usiversal Providence which presides over ta dusting of nations, adopt ths following reso- jationr: — | 1.

Not the baroos, for they had their revolution; not the bourgevis, or the middie classes. No, it was acoumplished by tne men in blouses, the working men ‘They said they bad tried twico bufore,and were cheated,and they were determined not to be cheated again. Accordingly they upset the monarebi- oul government, and they instituted # provisional gover n- ment, And what were the acts of this government, thus newly instituted?

In the second place, they have proclaimed themselves friends of peace, which is xnochee boon te labor, for it is the laboring men who suit-: by war. ‘Shey are taxed to pay the expenses, their inves ace lost on the field of battle. and their iamilies are made desolate in the prosecution of conquest.

Ic is acknowleaged by the new go- verment, that its firet duty is to tase care of ihe peoplu, and not by taxation as is usually done; why not by work shops, instead of taxing the community? Every com- mimaity is obitged’to support its indigent member; and it not the best way to open work shopsforthem?

These compose the middie cluases, or bourgcouc, and then come the people, the laboring olastes ~- who are engsgod in manufactares, agciculcure, &> , ko. Ths revolntion of 1789 struck down we aristocracy and tho monurchy. The middle classes were trampled on and treated as slay with us, and thoy suid let us rise; and they did rise, and with the help of the people, they destroyed tho throne, the aristocracy, and the soucch, which had become corrupt.
