The State of Europe—Our Foreign Correspon- dence. We continue eur foreign correspondence. A batch of it is published in our columns this day, and embraces letters from Paris, Berlin, London, Dublin, Venice, Liverpool, Rome, and other places on the Continent of Europe, which give a com- plete, impartial and unprejudiced view of the state of things in the old world. It may, perhaps, not be in the best taste for us to glorify too much our foreign correspondence; but we must be permitted to say, with all candor, that in vain will the American public look for a complete and graphic history of Europe, as it is at present written by impartial, intelligent and capa- ble observers, in the English or American press, except in the foreign correspondence of this jour- nal. We would, therefore, especially direct the attention of our readers,to the letters from Europe published in this day’s Herald, and recommend them to read them carefully and attentively; and if they cannot do so immediately, to preserve these letters until they can peruse them with that carefulness and diligence, which the importance of the subjects which they treat of, demand. We live in an extraordinary age of the world. The present is pregnant with the most momentous events. All Europe is in a state of transition. Old things are passing away, and a new cra has beenentered upon. Hereafter, our children, and our children’s children, will advert to the year 1848, as the most important in its re- sults, of any that have passed within half a dozen centuries. The great and final conflict between two antagonistic principles, has commenced, and we are only in the beginning of the end. Apart from the momentous political interest at- tached to the letters which we publish to-day, the intelligenee communicated by this foreign corres- pondence is exceedingly interesting and graphic; particularly that describing the appearance and new social habits of the Parisians. Three months only have elapsed since the revolution transforming France into a great republic occurred, and the changes are already visible in the whole population of Paris, and are as remarkable, perhaps, as any thing that ever was recorded in history. One of the most striking things in these changes, is that of the publicity given to everything, and the rapid increase which hag taken place in the circulation and extension ote newspaper press. According to all accounts, the circulation of the newspapers has doubled within the [ast three months. The theatres have fallen offin their powers of attraction, and the fashionable circles are all blown to the winds; politics and constitution making are all the rage, and the whole nation is transformed into one grand, great, magnificent political elub. May Suamaune@ tue Pupric.—Many of the political journals of the day hambug their readers, and the public, on Presidential matters, which are irresisti- bly laughable, when shown up. Among your sub- lime order of politicians, no journal assumes pub- licly the position to which it is privately pledged. Let us give a couple of examples. The New York Tribune is very violent in the support of Mr. Cl: One would think that that statesman was their first, last, and only choice. Now the truth isthat Mr. Clay is merely made the fighting-ground of particular cliques of politicians, who control the Tyibune. ‘Their rea: candidate, and one whom they hope to bring forward, at the proper time, is Judge McLean, or Tom Corwin. While they are making atremen- dous noise for Mr. Clay, and making some believe that he is their idol, they are writing private letters for other candidates, and making other preparations to cheat Mr. Clay as they did before. Another instance may be found in our highly re- spectable contemporary, the Courier and Enquirer One would suppose that that journal was desperate- ly in favor of Gen. Taylor; yet itis just the same with the Courier and Enquirer as. it is with the Tribune. The Wall street clique of politicians, who control that journal, merely make the name of Gen. Taylor the fighting ground for the real candi- date, who will be brought out when the proper time arrives, Their real candidate is either Gen. Scott or Daniel Webster. If there is any chance to bring out either of these gentlemen, and aban- don Gen. Taylor, it will be done without a mo- ment’s warning. ‘here are, however, some honest newspapers, which belong to no party, and whose sentiments are the sentiments of the concern—as, for stance, the Journal of Commerce, which declares for Taylor, This, we belidve, is an honest senti- ment, ‘The independent journals express their real opinions, and do not adopt the Machiavelian tac- ties of the party p Mars ror Evrore.—The Caledonia will sail from Boston on Wednesday next for Liverpool.— Her letter bags will close jn this city to-morrow afternoon, The Weekly Herald for Europe will be ready at 12 0’clock.

Iwrortant Pourrica, Moveusnt—Tue Barn- BURNERS in Motion.—We take the following im- portant article from the Albany Evening Atlas, of Saturday last, which is the organ of the bam- burning section of the democracy of this State :— DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION TO NOMINATE PRESI- DENT AND VICK PRESIDENT. Puitapenritia, May 26, 1848, Our delegates have called a State Convention for the 22d of June, at Utica, to nominate candidates for Prosident and Vice President of the United States, and have appointed a committee to prepare an address to the republicans of the State. NEW YORK HENSPLE. ‘The regular delegates to the national convention, who refused to countenance the juggling of that hody, aud withdrew. from. it, when it. refused to dvefde upon the just claims of the State, have called a State Convention for the 22d of June next. at Utica, to nominate candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency. Well done! The people have awaited such a call with impatient eagerness. In the contest that is to a proach, New York wishes to speak and act. She will now be heard and felt. The men who, in the Balti- more convention, boasted that “ they could get along without New York,” will learn that it is New York that can get along without them. Democrats! organize for the campaign! The selvc- tion of delegates to the Utica convention affords the opportunity for taking the first step. Let it not be neglected. If you wish to sustain your representatives in their noble attitude ; if you wish to teach your enc- mies your strength and consequence ; if you wish to exhibit the power of an Empire State, it is not alone by speeches, or meetings. or conventions, or the pros, that you must do it; but by timely, careful, and tho- rough organization. With thisyou can defy fuction, nd all ita corrupt appliances, Without it the best di- rected endeavors will full short of execution. The Rubicon has, at length, been passed—the split is complete, and the decree has gone forth, that the barnburners—with John Van Buren at their head, and the Wilmot proviso at their tail—no lon- ger constitute apart of the democracy of the North. The above article speaks for itself. The barnburners have hoisted an independent flag, on which is written “no surrender;” and hence- forth they will devote their time and services for the benefit of the blacks who may hereafter be located on the margin of the great salt lake in the deserts of California. A convention having been determined upon, the next question is, who will they nominate? We may be obscure in penetrating the extent of their love for the colored races in California; but we plead no such impediment in perceiving the solici- tude which they entertain for the spoils. We think, therefore, that they will revert back to the resolution which they passed in their Herkimer convention, in favor of General Taylor or Judge McLean, and adopt one of those distinguished men as their leader; for, in case one of them should be nominated by the whig convention at Philadelphia—of which there is now more probability than ever—they would come in for a portion, at least, of the loaves and fishes, in case of his election. This is a mighty great consideration with politicians; and besides this inducement, they would have the satisfaction of revenging themselves on the Baltimore convention, and on the democratic nominee, General Cass. It is very probable that this will form their pro- gramme; and our surmise in this respect, is strengthened by information which we have re- ceived, that Preston King and Mr. Vinton, of Ohio— the one a barnburner and the other a staunch whig—have been talking over matters and things, and, perhaps, negotiating, for a few days past, at Washington. The political world is full of changes. Great fun ahead. The more the politicians quarrel, the bet- ter it is for the country. We shall ;watch the movements of the barnburners with more interest than ever. Later from Yucatan. The Indians, on their approach to the cities of Merida and Campeachy, collected and set fire to all the logwood that came within their reach. We learn this from Captain Fensley, of the bark Wave, which arrived here a day or two since. If they should continue this course of revenge, logwood must necessarily increase in value. [Translated from the N. O. La Patria, 19th inst. By the schooner Aparecida, Captain Espinola, which arrived day before yesterday from Sisal, whence she sailed on the 11th, we have received papers and letters up to that date. The Executive of Yucatan had re- turned from Ticul to the capital. The following is extracted from the Merida Union of the 9th:— “Last Saturday night, the executive arrived at this city from Ticul, sick at heart at seeing all their patrio- tic efforts at peace, failures ; the hopes of Senor Men- dez and his illustrious colleague, Senor Barbachano, have been completely prostrated, and their sole endea- vors now will be to work vigorously and energetically against the insurgents, using no other means save arms. Blood will wash out blood, and perhaps the pure and innocent blood of the many inoffensive victims will yet be avenged by the black (and atrocious stream of that of their inhuman butcherers, As these men have succeeded by means of barbarities and a system of terror, let us now use the same means in our defence. ‘The aspect ot the war would change much under such a system, and peradventure we might re-establish our former position. One single triumph will often destroy the effect of a hundred previous routes. The Indians had been pursuing their bloody course. and had surprised several towns, the population of which, were resting their security on the treaty of peace. On the 7th inst., Jacinto Pat’s Indians at- tacked the town of Mani, and after having slaughtered 200 whites, of all ages and both sexes, passed o} From Sisal the accounts are equally heart-rend- ing. At Campeachy a paper has been established for the express purpose of setting the condition of Yucatan before the world. The first number has a powerfully written appeal for aid. A Spanish man-of-war was on the coast rendering important services to the fugitives. It will be remembered that a few days ago, we published in the Herald an account of the breaking of the Barbachano treaty by the whites, under the command of one Barquiero, at Iturbide, near Campeachy, a few days after the document was signed. his, we are afraid has lead to all this subsequent difficulty, and that account (which we translated from the New Orleans La Patria, where it appeared in the shape of a letter from Cam- peachy,) would seem to place the onus of break- ing it on the whites themselves. It was here stated that after murdering the few Indians they found in Iturbide, Barquiero’s troops fled precipi- tately on the approach of a reinforcement from Jacinto Pat. By the present number of La Patria this is contradicted, and they are stated to have fought boldly; bnt the fact of their being the first aggressors is stil uncontradicted. In yester- day’s Herald we gave an account of the English intervention in Yueatan.—[Ep. Herarp. Theatrical and Musical.

Some days previous to the sailing of the vessel which brings this intelligence, the black population forced the door of the Albines (?) with axes andclubs. All the troops were immediately ordered out, and a revolt had very nearly commenced. Almost every morning, placards are seen in public places, bearing the words “Death to the whites!’ and similar threats. In short, every thing seems to portend most violent consequences, The accounts represent a great want of flour, oil, and other provisions, Everything sells at an enormous price,and money is not to be had. We look with anxious interest for the next advices. Police Ini mee.

MONEY MARKET. Sunday, May 28.6 P. M. Nothing of interest has transpired in financial or commercial affairs, during the past week. Operations in stocks have been to limited extent, but prices for several of the fancies have improved. Notwithstand- ing the large shipments of specie, the money market is comparatively easy, and no apprehension is at present felt relative to the drain. It is utterly impossible to form any opinion as to the probable extent of the exportation of precious metals during the next month or two, as a portion of the shipments already made has been on speculative account, for the purchase of merchandise in European markets, before any improvement in the com- mercial affairs of the old world enhances prices for such articles as are adapted to the consumption of this coun- try. Recent advices from England state that large quantities of manufactures from the continent havebeen sent across the channel for sale, and the proceeds carried back in specie. This accounts for the drain of specie from the Bank of England; and has excited a great deal of alarm throughout the manufacturing districts of Great Britain. Speculators in this country have not waited for shipments of European manufactures to thiscountry,but have taken the speci and gone into the markets of France and Germany, and purchased largely. So long as we have the specie to spare, these opera- tions can be made very profitable; but if the shipments continue, # panic will arise in this country, anil depre- ciate prices so that there will be no margin left for pro- fits. There is, however, very little danger of this, as the supply of specie here is much greater than is gene- rally known, So far as the banks are concerned, they have nothing to brag of; but there is an immense amount of gold and silver in circulation, floating around the country, which the banks haye no control over, and which tends, vory naturally. to improve the value of the currency. ‘There is a large amount of specie brought out by emi- grants, I! is estimated that an average of twenty-five thousand dollars a day are brought into the country by emigrants. This is more than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars per week, which will offset a good part of the shipments. Most of this money is taken to the West for the purchase of land, &c., and very soon finds its way into circulation. The banks get hold of a poi- tion of it, and through them it reaches the seaport markets, It will,therefore,be seen that there isa steady drain of gold and silver from all parts of Europe for this country, which has no connection at all with commer- cial matters; and any demand upon us, for the purpose of regulating the exchanges, er for any particular mer- cantile operation, will equalise itself in good time. There is, therefore, no cause for alarm, Every dollar of specie now leaving this country will return and bring more with it. Assoon as an improvement takes place in public affairs on the other side, and activity takes the place of apathy in the different departments of industry, there will be an improvement in prices for our exporting staples, This will not only arrest at once the shipments of specie from this country, but will turn the current this way. The movements of specie, to any great extent, in any direction, are always at- tended with unfavorable results. A large importation into, or an exportation of specie from, this country, are by no means desirable; as either is sure to lead to, or rather result in some derangement of commer cial matters, If wo import one year a large amount of bullion from Great Britain, a large portion of it is sure to go back the next; and if the shipments from England produced any difficulties in the money market, the shipments from the United States are likely to bring about similar troubles. It is a question, if the first re- ceiver is not more injured than the giver. If Great Britain experienced a drain of five millions sterling of | specie for shipment to this country in 1847, she im- proved the markets here for her manufactures, and had the benefit of an increased demand for her fabrics; whereas a drain of seven millions of dollars from the | U nited States for shipment to England, has not ad- vanced the prices of our staples, in the markets of the | United Kingdom, a fraction; but, on the contrary, ever | ince the exportation of specie com:nenced, prices have been steadily settling down to the lowest point. When the deficiency of food in Gront Britain was so great that large importations of breadstuifs were required, it was | stated in Parliament that shipments from the United States should be encouraged, as the amount of epecio exported im payment for flour and grain would be re+ turned sooner from this country than any other. For these and other reasons equally pregnant, we | never wish to see any extensive importations of specie | into this country from England, It is true, we always hold on to a portion of what we get, and the balance on the imports and exports of the last twenty years is largely in our favor; but a mode- rate and steady current this way is much more | oxcellence, AMIDO: desirable, much safer, and less caloulated to derange the laws of trade, and bring about those expansions and contractions in the currency and in prices, which inva- riably grow out of any unnatural activity in the move- ments of specie. The present is altogether a strange state of things. Had it not been for the political re- volutions in Europe, it is highly probable that the com- mercial world would have been, by this time, in s more thriving, prosperous condition; and the exportation of specie from this country havo consed long bofore this, | But that event has protracted the doprossion, and kept everything in a contracted condition Advices re- ceived by the Hibernia give some hope of # favorable change; but the political affairs of Europe are insuch a state that the ontire complexion of matters may be altered in a day, and Great Britain, France, Russia, and all the leading powers, be plunged into an intermi- nable war, The domestic condition of France was im- proving; the convention was progressing cautiously in bringing order and shape out of the confusion produced by the revolution; internal peace and quiet were | guarantied, and the republic will soon acquire strength and consistency. But the external influ- | ences are calculated to draw France into the ques- tions which agitate other nations; and it is probable that any interference, on the part of France. will lead to @ general war. It is stated that England and Russia intend interfering as mediators. If such be the case, the dangers which threaten wil: disappear; but if those powors are brought into the movement in any other way, nothing can prevent serious troubles. So long as these things are in doubt—so long as the warlike preparations are going on—there can be no re- turn of confidence in the channels of commerce, no activity of consequence in trade, and consequently no improvement in prices of either the raw material or of manufactured goods, Every arrival with later intelli- gence from Europe will, therefore, be looked for with the most intense interest, as a crisis must soon be reached, ‘The growing crops in Great Britain, and through- out Europe, were in a promising condition. There had been a great deal of wet, unfavorable weather in England, which created considerable apprehension relative to the harvests; but before any extensive dam- age had been realized, a change took place, and every- thing looked encouraging. The result of this was a slight decline in prices, and the appearance of largo supplies of grain in the market. We are deeply in- terested in an abundant harvest in Great Britain, as prices for cotton depend much upon prices for food for the next twelve months. A few speculators are anx- ious for another deficient harvest in England, while the whole country is interested in an advance in the yalue of cotton in the markets of Europe.

The arrival of the Hibernia, with about a week's later news, had the effect of checking operations in most descriptions of produce, as the merchants had not time to roa hake letters. So far, however, as the news developed itself, we could perceive no change in bri stuffs. Before the nows, sales of cotton were made at provious rates; after its receipt the transactions were said to be too limited to show the state of the market. Pork continued dull, while lard was firm, and sales were made at full prices. Groceries were active, at steady prices. with considerable sales of box sugars on terms stated below.
