Lonnon, Friday Evening, July 7, 1843. The State of Europe. The short interval which elapses between the sailing of the steamers, is often so fraught with Exchequer’ Bills | events, great and momentous, that seven gays | later from Europe, in 1848, is equal to years in importance. Thrones, that have taken years to be established, have been blown down, like a pack of -eards by the breath of a child. Liberty, which like Prometheus of old, has been chained to the rock of monarchy, has at length burst its chains, and stalks majestically from Alp to Alp, from shore to shore, making its manly voice strike fear into the hearts of tyrants, and terror into the pale faces of des- potic governments. Europe has been in travail, bu: Jet us hope her pains are over; her first born, the young ‘Republic of France, has been baptized in blood; but it has outlived the last terrible crisis, and order reigns at Paris, not that order proclaimed by G neral Sebastiani in the corrupted chambers, when Poland fell « victim ‘to the avarice of kings, and to the shame of human nature; but order which hax been established by the people, though it is true, also, against the people. Let me join in the toast propored on Tuesday by an Ame- tican citizen at a dinner at Maurice's, in honor of the a iversary of American Indepedenc “May the Froneh republic be as lasting in time, and hi py in its resuits, as our own fuvored land.” il of mystery «Lill hangs over the proceedings of the late terrible insurrection, Sinister assertions are thrown out that many members of the executive gover n- ment were implicated in it, (of which there soems little doubt) ; but as yet very little is known, It is quite certain that it originated in the ateliers maur, the ‘Utopia of Louis Biano—an Utopia which General Ca- vaignac, the Dictator of France, has sent to tho four winds of heaven.

The funds seem inclined to rise tremendously. The government continue to take vigorous steps against the leading chartists and repealers, and a warrant, too, has been issued for the arrest of Mr. John Martin, of the Aish Felon, on a charge of felony. Mr. Martin is out of the way. At the Dublin Commission Court this week, one man was sentenced toreven years transportation for military vaining.

Arrwal of the American Steamship Hermann— Success of the American Steamers—Interesting Financial Intelligence, §c., §c. To use a mercantile expression, American steam is looking up, and may be quoted as de- cidedly firmer. One of the Cunard steamers, the Acadia, has been soundly beaten by the United States mail steamer Hermann. The latter vessel arnived off the Needles, Isle of Wight, on the 2d instant, at 5, P.M., which, allowing for the five hours difference in time between New York and Southampton, gives 11 days and 21 hours for the exact time occupied by the voyage ; and, I be- lieve, about two hours less than occnpied by the new steamer America for her first homeward trip, and which was supposed to be the shortest ever kuow: ‘The Acadia arrived at Liverpool on thé Sth, at 5 P She was detained ten hours at Halifax by a dense fog. Allowing her that ten hours’ detention, it will appear beaten the Acadia nearly thirty-eight hours on the run to England, efter deducting twenty-four hours for the difference of starting time in New York. , This success has created very considerable interest amongst the numerous persons interested in steam navigation. ‘The favorable run made by the United States, and the Hermann’s decided and unexpected feat, have made the Britishers hegin to think that Americon steamers are destined to succeed, and made the Americans very sanguine that their steamers will ultimately rival, if not surpass, the speed and celerity of Evglish ocean steamships The passen- gers by the Hermann presented to Captain Crabtree a very gratifying letter, expressing their admiration of his noble ship, and her performance, and thanking bim for the good arre ngements and gentlemanly treat- ment they have experienced. ‘The Hermann will leave this on the 20th. and I am informed the will have a large cargo, and be quite full of passengers, ‘The news brought by the Hermann that the $16,- 000.060 loan had been adjudicated. and that $14,000,- CO of it had been apportioned to Corcoran and Riggs, of Washington, for'account of themselves, Baring Brothers & Co., of London, and others, was not very favorably received in London, as it is feared that if any very considerable payments are to be made from England to pay up instalments on the loan, it will leod to adecline of the rate of exchange in New York, anda consequent re-exportation of the precisus me- tals to the United States. It was observed that on the novncement of the loan baving been taken by Ba- rings, exchenge showed a tendency to decline in Wall street, and that the drain of specie from New York immediately subsided. The views taken by the writer of the money article of the New York Herald, on the fubject of this financial operation, are admitted by mercuntile men to be very just— foreign capital is evi- dently being attracted to United States stocks and securities. for many rearons—firet, because com with the present disorganized state of the con governments, their public funds are not con! secure m+ dium for investment, and it is considered that the United States having #0 small a public debt, in comperison with its vast resources, a guarantee is afforded, beyond the possibility of doubt, for regular payment of the'dividends, and of an ultimaty repay- ment of the full amount lent. Moreover, Amorican stocks pay @ more remunerative interest to capitalists than any esfe European stocks, The English consols, nowata price of 8734 per cent, pay only 34 per cent per annom ; it must, therefore, strike every man hav- ing a clear heed, that capitalists would make a ood exchange of investment by selling out ritith conrols or exchequer bills purohas ing in United States stocks. With all these considerations before the moneyed class in London, it is threw dly guested. and believed that Messrs, Ba. ring Brothers & Co, will be considerable holders of the new Joan. not only on their own account, but for ao- count of Freneh and German capitalists, who, foresee- ing nothing bot ruin and chaos in the political hori- zon. are winding up and making safe by sending their money across the Atlantic. From the fact of the Barings having been employed by the Emperor of Russia to invest. £2000 00 sterling last year in the English funde, itis rumored in respectable circles that the Emperor basa finger in the pic, and that some mil- lions have been subscribed for by Barings, by order of bis Imperial Majesty. This rumor has ao- a few days ago £180,000 in gold was received at the Banh of England from the Russian government, and aleo from other large amounts to arrive from Russia, being covered by insurances at Lloyd's. Of course, it is totully imposrible to say if.these rumors are true; the Emyeror of Russia can, however, see more than an inch before his nore, and who oan deny that in the event of political troubles, rendering it necessary for his Imperial Mojerty to absent himeelf from his faith- ful ana loving subjects, and totake up his residence in md or the far West. Who would say that £200.00 in the British funds, and $5,000,000 in American stocks, would not be some solace and sup- p rt, during s lengthened expatriation. As anab+tract principle, 1 should give it that no coun'ry can be benefitted by a large am unt of seou- rities, reyreeesting ityfpublic debt being held by for- cigners; for instance. supposing stock of the United States tothe extent of $100.000,000 were held by Eu- ropean capitaliste: the interest, at six per cent to be remitted aw nualiy for payment of the dividends, would amount to $6 000 000, which would be a serious drain upon the resources and: ineome of the country, and that rum of money taken from the circulation to go into the pockets ef foreigners, would be more benefi- ciully employed if the stock were held by domes- tic cnpitalists, It may, therefore, be assumed with propriety that it is better for the permanent interests of the United Stater, that her loans should be taken up oy, her own citizens, and that the large amount yayable annually for interest should be a remunera- tion to her capitalists for the use of the general accu- mulated ravings of the people invested in United States stocks cr treasury notes, It may be true that the amounts to be paid to toreign creditor's would, in reality. be paid in produce—tay cotton, corn. tobacco, fur, &o.—ratber than in specie; but, on the other hand, it ie certain that the paymects, however made, would tend to maké the exchanges more unfavorable than would ctherwise be the case, if the payments were due to citizens of the country. The American steamer United States is to leave Havie on Monday, the 10th inst.,for New York. [ hear that ehe bas very little freight engaged, but that about one bundved passengers will go by her. Trade and commerce in Havre are very bad. The cotton market there is perhaps rather firmer, and. lately, sales have increared to some extent, Although it is proba- ple that romething approaching a military dictatorship will be established in France, yet, under the supvosi- tion that order will be preserved, and the rights of property respected, more confidence amongst the mor- cantile class is perceptible, By your French advices, you will eee that the Fronch 3 and 5 per conts have public feeling. is tatixfactory. ‘The West India steamer Teviot on the 4th, having on board $600,000 in specie. Eaxine, from Constantinople, is hourly ex gold coin, value $1,960,000. The specie tyre, brought b; the He nn, was sent acrora Wonder. Wit all there arrivals of bullion, the Yaults of the Bank of England are likely to be overstocked, and money will be a drug, while. at the same time, the mercantile and manofucturirg interests are languishing for want of adequate menns to carry on thelr operations: a singu- lar xnemaly to the general course of affairs, and only to be accounted for by the general want of confidence induced by the critical state of political affairs on the continent There have been arrivals at this port from Spain, Portugal. and Gibraltar, during the week; but trere is nothing fresh, either political or commercial, to eom- mupicate.
