We bave received our usual supply of English and contivental papers, by the steamship America; and, although Evgland is not « republic, we find them re- markably interesting. We present a portion of their contents to our readers, in this day’s paper; and shall Place before them further extracts to-morrow. ——— ‘The Foreign News. We present our readers with the news receiv- ed by the steamship America, which has so anxiously been looked for. It will be seen from its tenor that the hopes and fears of our citizens have been disappoint- ed, as far as a revolution in England war concerned—we mean the hopes of those who wished for the overthrow of the monarchy, and the fears of those who desired a continuance of the present order of things. The chartist demon- stration was an utterand complete failure. Eith- er the precautionary measures of the government intimidated them, and prevented the demon-tra- tion in the magnitude which we were led to believe would characterize it, from the speeche- ot their leaders and others, or their chief mrn lacked that determination and spirit which mark- ed the blouses of Paris, and which overthrew the monarchy of Louis Phillippe. We never heard of amore contemptible failure. Such villanous cowardice, such contemptible pusillanimity, as that which marks this whole proceeding, from its commencement to its end, we never heard ot Instead of making a demonstration of physical force and determination, sufficient in any coun try to overturn any goverament—composed, as we were led to believe it wou'd be, of the very men of the land—in pursuit of an organic change in the constitution, which was loudly demanded by the wants and desires of the masses, and called forby the spirit of the age— the procession consisted of a beggarly and ruf- fian mob, who lacked self-respect, courage, or other qualities, which distinguish man from the brute creation. To be sure, they assembled ten thousand strong; but in contemplating the vast falling off between this number and the three hundred thousand who were re- presented as ready to join in the demonstration. and were determined to meet any emergency, one dors not know whether to ridicule or con- temn the whole proceeding, and the parties eu- gaged init. They never had so favorable an op portunity ; they in all probability will not have another; for, according to the tone of the English press, the government will probably make cer- tain concessions that, if they will not completely satisfy the masses of the chartists, will at al events deprive them of some of their grounds of complaint, and thus choke them off. This course the government must take, for Ire- land maintains her hostile attitude—arming o the people goes on as vigorously as ever, and the spirit of the Irish press is as violent as ever, if not more so. They are ripe fur revolution, and in their midst are foreigners who keep alive the agitation, and fan the flame of revolution. This has caused the government some uneasiness; anc a revival of the alien law, which would compel foreigners to leave there, is talked of. The re- sult of the chartist demonstration, however, can- not but exercise a moral influence against the hopes of the Irish repealers, and protract, at least, the consummation of their wishes. This movement of the chartists, it appears, was not general. It was confined to those in and about the metropolis—the headquarters of the aristocracy. It isin London principally that the aristocracy expend their money, and the large sums which they pay in supplying their wants and luxuriee, keep dependent ,on them, and identified with their interests, a large por- tion of the shopkeepers and tradesmen, who would seriously suffer in case of the success o1 the chartiste; and hence, in that part of England, an attempt at revolution could not be successful; for all of-this class would arm in defence of the government, and did so on this occasion, to the number of two hundred and fifty thousand, in the form of special constables. But if the chartists have failed, the cause of reform hat not failed with them. We have always said, that nothing could be done in London; but that for effective reform agitation, we must look to Manchester and the central portion of England. What the chartlets have failed in accomplishing, has to a certain extent been taken in hand by the rea! reformers—such men as Cobden, Hume and othera, who have identi- fied themselves with the progressive spirit of the age, and who, as experience proves, are ca- pable of achieving what they undertake. It will be seen by the extracts which we publish to-day from the Manchester Examiner, the organ of Mr. Cobden and his associates, that a portion of the Members of Parliament, headed by these men, have formed themselves into a society of a pro- gressive character, and have pledged themselves to advance the cause of the extension of the elective franchise, and the promotion of reforms of a similar nature. This is a very important movement, and one that may obviate the neces- sity of an appeal to physical force by the masses to obtain their rights. From the continent of Europe we have wars , and rumors of war, and indications of bloodshed allover itsextent. War has broken out both in the North and the South; and the probability is that it will become general, and embrace every country in that region of the world. France is placed in an extremely delicate position. Her welfare, her present state of transition from a monarchy to a republic, her arrangements for peacefully entering on her new stage of exis- tence, demand that she should be free from war, and that her whole resources should be husband- ed, until the republic be established. All these considerations should induce her to remain at peace with all. But it appears from the signs of the times, that she will probably be made a party to the scenes and struggles tranepiring around in spite of herself, and act prominently in a general European war, that may last fora long ‘TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCR, MESSAGE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES RELATIONS WITH YUCATAN. Wasminoron, April 29, 1848, The following message was sent into the House of Representatives to-day, together with several communi- cations from the"government of Yucatan, representing the state of suffering to which that country is reduved by an insurrection of the Indians, and implering the pro. tection of the United States. The government of Yu- catan offers, in case protection should be granted them, to transfer the deminion and sovereignty of the penin wula to the United States. The messege and documents were read, referred to the Committee on Foreign Affaire, and ordered to be printed. The Message, To tHe Senate ano House or Reragsentative I submit for the consideration of Congress, several com- munieations reorived at the Department of Stste from Mr Justo Sierra, commissioner of Yucatan; and also a communication from the government of thet State, re presentieg the condition of extreme suffering to which their country has been reduced by an insurrection of the Indians within its limits, and asking the aid of the United States. These communications present a case of buman suffering and misery which cannot fail to excite the sympathies of all civilized mations. From these and other sources of information, it appears that the In- diane of Yuoatan ure waging a war of extermina- tion ogsinst the white race In this civil war they spare neither ge nor sex, but put to death, indisoriminately, all who fall within their power The inhabitants, panic stricken, and destitute of arms, are flying before their enemy, and thoir extermination would seem to be inevitable unless they can obtain assistance. In this candition they have, through their constituted anthorities, implored the aid of this government to save them from destruc- tion; offering, in case this should be granted, to transfer the dominion and sovereignty of the Peninsula to the United States, Simil appeals for aid and protestion have boan made to the Spanteh and the English go- roments Whilst % is not my purpose to recom- y measure with a view to sovereignty either to Spain, Great Britain, or to any other European power. in the eoguage of Presi- dent Monroe, in his message of ber, 183 should consider a attempt on their system to any portien of this — ‘J our peace and safety.

We bave now authentio information thet if the sid saked from th+ United States be not granted, such aid will probably be obtained from some European pow r which may hereafter assert a claim to domiuion and sovereiguty over Yucatan Our existing relations with Yuoatan are of » peculiar character, as will be perceived ‘rom the note of ths Secretary to their commissioner deted on the 24th of Deo»mber last, @ copy of which i+ hereqith transmitted. Yacatan has never declared her independence, and we haye treated her as a State of the Mesiosmn republic, For this reason we have never officially received her commissioner; but whilst this tv th» cane, we bave tom considerable extent racognized her asa neutral in our war with Mexico Whilst svill considering Yucatan ase portion of Mexico, if we het troope to spare for this purpose, I would deem it proper during the contivusnos of the war with Maxico. to oo- cupy ana hold « ilitary possession of her territory, and co defend ‘hs white inhabitants egeiast the incursions of the Indians, in the same way thet we have emoloyed our ‘reops in other States of the Mexican republic in our possession. in repelling the attacks of th« savages apon the inhabitants who have maintatned their neutra- lity 1m the war; but, unfortuastely, we cannot. at the pre- s-nt time, without serious danger, withdraw our forcer from other portions of the M-«xican territory, now in our occupation, and send them to Yu oan bs done under existing circumstanc our naval forces in the Guif, not required at other pointa, to afford them relief. Bat it in not to be expected that any adequate protection oan thus be «fferded, aa the opr- rations of sucn naval forces must of necessity be con- feed to the coast. | have considered it proper to com municate the information contained in the scoompsny- ing correspondence; and | submit to the wisdom of Con- gress to adopt such measures as in their jadgment may be expedient, to prevent the people of Yuretan from becoming the colony of any European power, or of belong expelled trom their country.

P. Orleans, had arrived in this city in the steamship America. The announcement created a great deal of sur- prise and excitement. Every body enquired where the count, alias the ex-king, put up, so that he might have a peep at the great dethroned; but up to the hour of our going to press, we have not learned that the real, genuine article has come to light. The fact is, the report was a joke, and a capital one, too. It appears from what we can learn, that one of the passengers in the America somewhat re- sembled in personal appearance, Louis Philippe; and by way of a joke, his fellow voy- ageurs called him Louis Philippe; and when the newsmen boarded the steamer, some wag told them thatthe great dethroned was on board They mede their way to the city and communi- cated the news to the public, who were induced to swallow it, because it was so general, and verily believed that his ex-hingship was in New York This is the solution of the riddle; but it must not surprise our readere, if we at some future time, inform them that he and other of the monarche of Europe have sought a residence in this land of freedom. —$_$_$___ Laren yaow Havana,—By the ship Christoval Colon, Captein Smith, from Havana, we are in receipt of files of La Gaceta d¢ la Habana ond Brano dela Meima to the 16th inst.

Just as the session of the first board commenced this morning, It was announeed by telegraph, thet the steam- sbip America, from Liverpool, watiathe offing. This fact had a favorable iaflusace upon the market; and be- fore the nature of the news was known, an advance of a fraction on most of the fenoles was realissd. The feeling that the long period of doubt and distrust would s00n give place to something of @ definite character, created a buoyancy in the market. Previous to the promulgation of the Scropsau iatelligonce, Treasury notes advanced 3¢ per cent; Long Island 4; Harlem 3; Canton X; Norwich and Worcrster 3; Morris Can: 1; Reading Railroad. All others remained firm at yesterday’s quotations. ‘About ons o'clock, sn Eatra Herald was issued, giv- ing fall accounts of the political, fi ial, aod commer- cial news, and it soa spread into every ssotion of the city It hada very tevorable effest, and the relief ex- perion: by all classes engaged in commerce, was, for the moment, greater than we have seen before in a long time. Many who have considered themselves bank- rupted, find that they have been more frightened than hurt, and those whe hare been so terribly panic stru:k, wondsr how they could have been so timid.” The wheeis of commerce had been almost completely stop: ped, and thore was no disposition to move either way, until all doubt was removed. Many bill drawers refused to sell exchange, and the greatest spprehen- mm existed relative to bills previously drawn id running to maturity. Bills toa very large amount, the return of which was expected, have beem paid, and the necessity for large shipments of specie removed The on the whole, is much more favorable than generally anticipated, and the effect uj thus far, has been more satisfactory tha: we have received tor many months. The fiaancial or commercial movements on the other side do not amount to much So far as the continent is concerned, everything still remained in the greatest con fasion, At Antwerp and Brussels, however, the ac- counts come much better. Money was getting plenti- ful, and confidence was becoming restored. The com- mercial bills falling due on the 31st March, and two sab sequent deys, had been met withextreme punctuality Oat of 1500 bills held by the Banquo de Belgique, only 102 were sent to the notari id of which 42 were paid prior to protest, leaving only 60 for protestation. ‘The situation of the Bank of France becomes, as was expected, more critical every week. The amount of specie has been diminished during ths late events to the extent of one and a half million francs, and the specie of dts branches reduced to two and ahalf million france Overdue bills have increased 7-12ths, and the amount of protested bills from 2963821 to 7,143,679 francs There has also been alarge dimjaution in the amoant the credit of the treasury; from 68 333 376 francs, it had deolined to 49,331,669 francs. It had been aaneunoced that the Bank of France was about to fseue bank motes of 25 and 50 irancs. As soon as the plate could be engraved, and a suMcieat number of notes strack off, ths provisional government was to issue a decree authorising their issue, and making them a legal tender. The advance in consols indicates the improremeat in the public mind and ia the money marksts of England, and the renewal of confifence was everywhere marked with a favorable change in prices for public funds Amidst the causes tending to depress prices for cotton the market was very firm, and there is no doubt bu that, as soon as politica! affairs get somewhat settled down, there will be an improvement in this important staple. There bad beens slight advance in corm, and the market, at the latest dates, was exceedingly active The quotations of State stocksin London, at th- latest detes, were for Alabama 5’s 65; Indiana 5’s 28; 1) Hinois 6's 31; Louisiana 5's 76; Maryland 70; Masea. chusette 5%s 96; New York 6's 8734; Ohio 6's 86; Pet sylvavia 5’s 65. There was ® moderate inquiry these prices, and the market closed firm, We have the unpleasant duty of announcing an other extensive failure in thie city, One of our largest shipping houses, principally engaged inthe Baltic trade has been forced to suspend, and the amount of lisbilitier fovolved is very large This failuce has been directly produced by tho revulsion in Europe, and tue complete eangement in all the commerolal affairs of the Con- tinent.
