APOLLO SALOON, (in the Parlors)—Siamese Twins, Bto 6, 8 te 10, ork, Friday, June 15, 1840, Arrival of the Cambria—Highly Important News from Europe. In another part of to-day’s journal will be found a summary of highly important news, being eight days later, brought to Halifax yesterday by the steamer Cambria, and by telegraph and express from St. John to this city, The steamer herself will probably arrive this afternoon, or late in the évening—in sufficient time to enable us to give full particulars and details either to-morrow morning or in the Sunday Herald. This news, like that which has preceded it for the last few arrivals, and that which will probably follow for some time to come, is of great impor- tance in every point of view. We particularly call attention to the brief description of the first meet- ing of the new National Assembly in France; the character of that Assembly, which, when fully de- veloped, will give a tone to the direction of events in Europe. It appears that nearly one-third of the Assembly 1s composéd ef decided democrats, or yepublicans, varying in some respects on social questions, but all united on the question of the foreign policy of France as regards Italy and Germany, and the necessity of the French government assuming its true and_ natural position in. the great crisis through which Europe now is passing. The majority of the new Assembly is composed of every shade of moderate opinions ; but the days of moderate opinions, in France and in Europe, are rapidly passing away.— If the President of that republic do not very soon adopt a policy towards the popular cause in Ger- many and Italy, homogeneous with the natural im- pulses of the French people, he will soon find him- self in a very awkward and unpleasant predica- ment. Look at the situation of the’ French army in Rome! General Oudinot is left helpless, and almost without authority. The French army there, animated with the same republican sentiments ‘with which that nation is impregnated, will not, it Beems, march against Rome, or lift their hands in hestility toa sister republic in Italy. In such a condition of things, the large minority of over two hundred yotesjin the new Assembly, acting by one impulse and one energy, will soon be the real republicans of France, and will command and force Louis Napoleon to adopt their policy, their measures, at all and every hazard. According to the accounts from Hungary and ‘Austria, that noble people, the Hungarians, stil] maintain their position against the Austrian forces ‘We cannot find, in our despatches, any statement confirming or explaining the rumor, which we fe- ceived by the last arrival, of their having achieved any important victory over the Russians. It seems, however, that the Hungarians have made them- selves masters of the important post and fortress of Fiume, a sea port on the Adriatic, nearly oppo- site to Venice, and fthe principal port of Illyria, south or Trieste. They have, also, it appears, taken possession of Beuda, on the Danube ; and, thus far, their cause seems to have gained ground, notwithstanding the powerful armies which they have had to contend against, aided and assisted by the Russians. The in- terview between the two Emperors, at War- saw, lasted only one day—so important are the events in that part of the world. What has been decided upon, of course cannot be known; but unless the French republic assume a proper position as the vanguard of liberty and popular rights in Europe, and thereby raise allthe liberal masses throughout Germany and Italy to assist and aid them, it is very likely that the overwhelming and united forces of Austria and Russia may in a few weeks or months entirely master Hungary, and re- duee it to obedience and ultimate slavery. The course of events on the continent of Europe—war in all parts—will now depend on the new National Assembly sitting in Paris. They can give direc- tion to the history of Europe fer the next century. Our accounts from the North of Europe, and England, wre less interesting than those from France and Southern The Danes and the Ger- urope mans are still fig g, without any serious result. In England matters seem to be quiet. Commer- cial affairs are vibrating, sensitive, and depending, trom day to day, on the political movements going on on the Continent. One of the most striking features of the news is the growing advance ia the quotations for American stocks in Europe, indi- cating, as it does, the unsettled condition of public credit on that continent, and the attention which capitalists are giving te the safety and advantage- ousness of American securities. ‘The American republic, in the present state of the world—at peace with all nations, prosperous and growing at home— is the happiest country under the sun; but our people hardly realize their own comforts and their own hy ese, £0 wonderful is all around them. ‘eSieS or THE Press.—Our « Pimatican” Cot amiable cotemporaries, Gales & Seaton, of the Washington Intelligencer, who aspire to be the respectable organ of the government, allude, ia their correspondence, to the position and character of the New York Herald, by the term “ piratical.” What is the meaning of this “ piratical * courtesy? We know what piratical means on the ocean, as ‘well as on the shore—robbing, plundering, steal- ing, cheating, living on the property of others by violence and fraud. But what is piracy in news- papers? Inall our career we have paid our debis to the utmost farthing. If we procured the latest intelligence during the Mexican war at a vast ex- pense, that expense was honorably paid to the last cent. If we reported congressional proceedings, the same policy has been pursued. If we used the telegraph, the telegraph agents will say that their bills are always paid. No tailors, hotel keepers, bootmakers, or any other industrious class of the community, can justly charge this journal with @etting goods under false pretences, and not pay- ving for them. Can our amiable cotemporaries at ‘Washington say the same? Have we ever re- ecived one or twe millions of dollars out of the coffers of the general government? or is our house besieged by all sorts of creditors, asking for their | dues? Did we ever rifle the United States Bank of a large amount of property, and help, with other pirates, to break down and destroy that institution | and eat up its stock 7 | ‘We beg, therefore, again to ask our cotempo- | raries at Washington, what they mean by the term “piratical,” in regard to the New York Uerald? Sixteen Days Later from Californtia—Highly Important News from the Gold Under our telegraphic head will be found highly important news from Califorfiia—brief, it is true, but decided, and palpable almost to the touch. The steamer has arrived from Chagres, at New Orleans, bringing accounts from San Francisco to the Ist of May; being sixteen days later than the lust accounts from that quarter, and, whats bet- ter, a large amount of gold dust, amounting in value to nearly a million of dollars. Governor Mason, lately in authority in that territory, has returned by the same conveyance, and also Col. Hughes, of the Panama surveying expedition. ‘The accounts received by this arrival fully cor- roborate and strengthen the glowing descriptions of the abundant mineral wealth of that distant ter- ritory, und the wonderful progress which 1t pro- mises to make, during this summer and fall, in coliecting gold dust. With this vast amount of gold dust, it now seems that over feur millions of dollars, in value, can already be accounted for as having been shipped from San Franciseo to different parts of the world. Possi- bly, the gathering of the last year may reach six or seven millions of dollars before the final account is made up. A number of passengers in this steam- er, said to have been diggers, and who are repre- sented to have made fortunes last summer, have returned to enjoy themselves in their old homes in the United States, Thus we go in this curious world Away on the continent of Europe, three thousand miles off, a number of nations, numbering over two hundred millions.of people, are marshalling vast armies to destroy each other’s lives, property and means ot living, on account of political opinions and old abuses; while, on the other hand, it we turn in an opposite direction, to a region nearly the same distance from us towards the setting sun, we see people of all nations crowding as rapidly as they can to a region of gold and precious stones, which has been just discovered, that outstrips the tales of the Arabian Nights, and reduces ancient poetry to modern fact. We wonder if the day of judgment Js far off or near by. American Foreign Potrcy---Nevrrariry.— We give in our columns, to-day, a rather remark- able despatch addressed by Mr. Clayton, Secretary of State, to Baron Von Roenne, envoy of the central Germanic powers, or that new confederation re- cently attempted by the liberal party throughout Germany. It is the first symptom, or indication, of the spirit and policy which will govern the admi- nistration of General Taylor during the new and important crisis which has broken outin the affairs of Europe. In this view, especially, the letter of the American Secretary of State—the doctrines it contains, andthe spirit by whichat is inspired—may begeta great deal of controversy, and, perhaps, a small degree of condemnation. There can be no doubt that Mr. Clayton has well considered the line of policy which he has adopted towards the German powers in the struggle be- tween them and Denmark. It is also probable that the principles put forth and the policy pursued by our Secretary of State, are literally in fulfilment of the requirements of the statute book, to the ut- termost letter. Yet, judging of this matter froma somewhat different point of view than that of the narrow boundary of mere literal provisions, we be- lieve that the great impulse and strong common sense of thé*"American people would wish the laws to be interpreted in a more liberal and enlightened spirit; and that, if the laws fetter down the natural impulses of this great republic, they ought to be changed and altered very materially, at the first meeting of Congress. In making this remark, we do not wish the American government, per se, to enguge, in any illegal course, in favor even of thepo- pular rights of the struggling nations of Europe, now in the midst of a revolution that will shake the civi- lized world from centre to circumference; but we do believe that it ism consonance with the great heart of the American people, that, as far as pos- sible, the sympathy, and perhaps aid, of this peopie, should be allowed to take their natural and proper direction, but within certain great national hmita- tions, in favor, as far as it is possible to be done, in aiding and assisting the liberal governments and nations of Europe. We do not yet condemn the foreign policy of General Taylor’s administration; but we must con- fess that its first inklings de not exactly square with what we conceive to be the broad and expansive feelings of the American heart. It may be danger- ous for any cabinet to be more than one day ahead of the age; but it is equally dangerous, if not more unpopular, to be one day behind the age—particu- larly such a stirring, energetic, electric age as the present. Consrmacy to Tyterize General Taytor.— From articles which have recently appeared in the New York Express, and other journals belonging to different cliques of the whig party, there seems to be a strong disposition ameng the disappointed office-beggars to attempt some formidable combi- nation against the President and his cabinet, simi- lar to that which, in the time of Captain Tyler, was known by the expressive term of Tylerization. The President and his cabinet, since the fourth of March last, have been doing considerable busi- ness in removing old office-holders, and appointing new ones in their places—sufficient to bring forth groans and execrations from the ousted democracy. Jsut it seems from the complaints of a number of whig journals, and the whispers of whig politicians here and elsewhere, that a vast number of whig office-beggars are ready to enter into any combina- tion against the present cabinet, or to proceed to any extremities, in order to oust them. The Ex- press of this city is the organ of a large class of office-beggars of various kinds, and also of the new members of Congress. Its indications cannot be misunderstood. If it had@he courage and capa- city, it would come out against the administration at once; and we have no doubt there are several! other journals in this city, Philadelphia, and Balt- mere, all of which have been disappointed in of- fice, and which would be ready tojoin in the same work. The truth of the matter is, the whig party are a collection of conceited and vain-glorious cliques, which have no homogeneousness o character, and want the practical ability of carrying on the administration of the go- vernment—an example of which has been ex- lubited by the party in power in this city. They have a strong and popular man for President. They could not have elected any man but General Taylor; but the cabinet is pretty tole- rable. Their journalists, their politicians, and their office-beggars are the most impracticable set of peo- ple that ever existed, and the policy which they have pursued, and are still pursuing, leaves on our mind strong doubts whether any whig party can ever practically and successfully conduct the affairs of the national government. Finst Penny Parer.—We see statements fre- quently in the journals, that the first penny paper was established by Mr. Day, in this city, in the year 1833, and was called the New York Sun. This is not the fact. ‘There was a penny paper printed and issued in this city as early as 1830-31. It was published at an office in Chatham square, by Mr. Evans, a practical printer, That was the first penny paper ever issued, to our knowledge, in this country, and circulated several years before the present race of penny papers. The first two cent newspaper was issued in the summer of 1832. It was published in Wall street, by the proprietor of this journal. It was a morning paper, and was very successful for the few months we continued its existence; but other objects induced us to abandon the enterprise, and remote to anether city. We returned, however, in 1835, and published the Herald on a similar footing, and it has been grow- ing and growing ever since. sy Among the newspapers received by the Southern mail last night, was the Washington | Whig. It will be an evening paper, hereafter. ‘Tue Fonction Missions.—The most of the foreiga ministersin Europe, appointed by Mr. Polk, have re- signed. Mr.Hannegan, receutly appointed to Berlin, hasnot done co, and will probably remaim at the post to which he has been sent, for a little while longer. Mr. Donaldson, minister to the central powers of Germany, and Mr. Clemson, chargé to Brussels, still maintain their positions, and probably will do so. Mr. Rives, of Virginia, has accepted his mission, and willsetout in a shorttime. Abbott Lawrence, of Boeton, it is said, has not yet accepted the mis sion to England, and it is probable, if he should de- cline altogether, that Mr. Webster will be the ran for that mission, The exchange of Mr. Webster for Mr. Lawrence would, we rather think, be a good one, as he is undoubtedly far better for such a migsion, in the present condition of Europe, and also that of England towards the old and new worlds, than any other man that could be sent there. From Yvucaran.—Cuptain Brown, of the bng Globe, arrived yesterday from Sisal, after a passage of twenty-two days, confirms the accounts we pub- lished several days since, of a battle having been fought at Bacalar, and that about three hundred of the Indians taken prisoners, had been sent to Ha- vana. Captain Brown states that most of the American soldiers had left the country. We have published accounts—received via New Or- leans—of this battle some time since, as also the arrival of the captive Indians at Havana, in the steamer Cetro. The papers received per Cilobe contain no news. 1an Vick Consuns.—The President has re- cognized Fernando Moreno, Vice Consul of Russia, for the port of Key West, and W. Shaer, for the port of Baltimore. Sporting Intelligence. Union Covrse.—Three matches of unusual interest are announced to come off this afternoon, and as the terms are “ play or pay,” tho state of the weather will be no bar to their decision, and they will positively take place, The first is a trotting match for $500, two mile heats, between Avenger and Linda, ia which the owners will drive, The second is a pacing match for $500, between Cayuga Maid and Lady Bevins, mile heats, best in five, ‘The third, @ match for $1,000 be- tween b g.

The City Guard—Seventeenth Anniversary Dinner, This fine body of our State militia, numbering ubout one hundred men, held their seventeenth anniversary dinner last evening at half past 8 o'clock, at their armory, 600 Broadway. Their uniform, though of Bri- tish hue, is exceedingly handsome, but not finer than the brave who wear it.” At the head of the table sat Capt. Wm. M, McArdle, commandant of the corps. On his right. Major General C. H Sandford; his aid, ‘Thomas V, Cazenvau, Eq. aud Dr. Fisher, Ou his left, Lieut. Arthur, (Army) W. G. Sackman, Esq , Gen. Morris, 11th Regiment U. 8, Militia; R.'Pentz, £sq., Lieut. Brady, Corporal David, City Guard, &e. he tine bund of Governor's Island was in attend- ance, and performed numerous airs with great taste. Wines of all kinds, and of the choicest vintuge, flowed in abundance. ‘After discussing an excellent dinner, including all the delicacies of the season, Capt. M’Ardle gave, as his first toast— “The President of the United States.” Drank with all the honors, ‘The next toast given was— “The Army and Navy.” Received with enthusiaem, Lieut Arran (of the army) rose to respond. Ho said, as the army was placed before the navy, he sup- posed he had no other alternative than to speak first to the toast. He heartily thanked them for the compli- ment. Important as the army was, he considered its right arm Was the militia, Before he joined the United States army he belonged to the militia, an honor which he would always highly prize, He would now give them a toast, it was— “Captain Mill M’Ardle—and nothing but Captain Mill M?Ardle.”” Great applause. Past Midshipman Murrny, being called for, returned thanks, on the part of the Navy—Fle could only say, in the words of Longfellow, “Feeling is deep and still, and the word which floats on the surface is as the toss- ing buoy that betrays where the anchor is hidden.” (Applause.) He would now give them a remedy for the cholera, far better than all the prescriptions of the doctors, “A dinner with the City Guard.” (Laughter and cheers ) Captain McArdle then rose to return thanks, He said he had formerly belonged to the marines, an am- phibious sort of force,that Mar neither semty oe mevy. eréral officer in the marines, yet Ha hoa shed ds beattel ote abe ices oa (laughter) he reslgiicd the connection and joined the militia, There was no service so importan. .. militia, He spoke as an American, and he said no per. son Inthe Wnited States, however humble, was denied the right to bear arms. What was that right ?— Let them go into Europe and find, if they could, ‘any man whose house was not liable to be searched for arms. This was the case even now when revolutionary reversions had taken place. How different was the so- yereignty of tho free country in which they lived, where every man possessed the right to bear arms to defend its institutions, The corps which he com- himself had been recently mixed up with ‘astrophe. They had been called to arma, and em for their response to that call in obedience to the municipal authorities, He could only tay it was in the performance of a public duty they had acted, and he trusted they would not shrink from its performance, should a similar occasion ever unfor- tunately Vin arise. There was one gentieman pre- sent who did his duty nobly on the night in question. He had bad the honor to command a company when he was Colonel. He {ate speaker) was to-night a captain still; while* that gentleman was & Major General. His conduct at the Astor Opera-house riots was such as perfectly satisfied him, and he would be always ready to serve under him. He would therefore give the health of * Major General Sandford, commanding the firet division of the United States Militia; always efficient in the discharge of his duty.” The toast was received with much enthusiasm. { Major General Saxpronp then rose, and after thank- ing the City Guard for the complunent they had paid him, he said the circumstance to which Captain Mc- Ardle alluded had excited many sentiments in the public mind ; and they might be sure there was no one of that pablie had felt more deeply on the subject than he did. It was his misfortune that he had, for the first time in his life, to use the arm given him by his country to defend its liberties against a por- tion of his fellow-citizens. No event of his life ever gave him so much pain, But they all knew jm too well to render it necessary for him to say that iften times the calamity had occurred, he would not shrink from it, if his duty to his country called him. (Loud cheers.) On several occasions of @ similar king he had been called upon Wlien the public peace was endangered, He had always before Veen able t collision On the recent ion that was Jinpossi- Die, and it was merely necessary for him to mon(on & fact which they, 48 soldiers, would understand, to d¢- monstrate the truth of what he said. Omcial returns had come before him, showing that out of 214 men, 141 were seriously injured. If a body of soldiery, in at- tacking a fortress, had lost one half of their num- bers, it would be considered a most extraordinary thing, in the open field. But here before one drop of blood had been shed by the troops, 140 of their number were assailed aud wounded with missiles, which to a soldier, were worse than bullets, (Hear, hear. ’ He hoped they never would becalled on again to discharge the disa- ‘eeable duty they had to perform on the oceasion al- luded to; but if ever they were, he felt that the obliga- tion they owed to the country and themselves would be discharged with the same firmness, though with equal reluctance. If the civil authority was not re- epected and upheld, there would be an ond of all law and order, and of liberty itself. (Hear, hear.) In no community was it so important that the institutions of the country should be sustained as in this free republic. They. the ‘militia, made their own laws, clected their own magistrates, sustained their own rights; they could depose legislators and magistrates when they did not fulfil the people’s will. And when they wanted to defend their own institutions, or to repel a foreign invader, it was n» hired arm they relied upon It was upon themselves; and should they hesitate, he asked, to prevent riot and misrule, and allow every man’s property to be destroyed at the beck ofamob/ They never bowed, and never would bow to the sovereigns or potentates of the earth. and would they bow toa mob? No; they were not the men to shrink when the institutions of the country called upon them for their defence. No sight was so gratifying as to see the young men of the country, at their own expense, acquiring the discipline and the science necessary to maintain its libertics against external aggression, or internal disorder. Nothing was so dear to his heart as such an array. He was proud to see the City Guard to-night in their own home, sacrificing on the altar of their country, their pleasure, their conve- nience, and their monvy. He was gratified to find them on roshort notice, ready and prompt to perform a duty which was worse than marching up to a battery. [Loud cheers.) For himeelf, he would rather lead the same number of men on # forlorn hope. If they be called «ut upon so melancholy sn occasion he trusted they would exhibit the same forbe before acting. Till the last extremity he did ni to the sherff—till human nature could no tonger bear it, did he say it was necessary to fire say The Sheriff replied, It it was necessary it mnat be done, ‘The word was given, and they knew the re- sult, He concluded by giving, “The City Guard, ready to do their duty, whetber to mevt the foreign invader, or the disturber of the public peace,” 4 cheering.)

Police Intelligence. <4 Boarding House Expost —Kor some months past & Mr. Michael Hoyne and his wife, residing at a res- poctable boarding house, kept by Mrs. Whitson, at No. ‘1 East Broadway, have been considerably annoyed by the receipt of anonymous letters, of the most Indecent and obscene character Some letters would be directed to Mr. Hoyne, setting forth that his wife was holding daily intrigues with other men, and visiting houses of disrepute; then, on the other hand, Mrs. Hoyne would receive # letter of a similar nature, implicating her husband with lewd women, Not satisfied with this, the landlady received anonymous letters, purporting to come from one of her boarders, referring to Mes, Hoyne as an improper person to be allowed in the house, and’ hace gol 9 that she be expelled imme- diately, or an exposé would certainly take place. The authors of these viledletters was considered a mystery, and, in order to detect if possible the guilty parties, Mr. Relyea, of the independent police, No. 130 Broad. way, was employed to ferret them out, and to aid him in the matter. he associated with him officer Edwards, of the 3d district police. These officers went to work, and in a few weeks suspicion rested upon Mr. Nathaniel F Miller and his wife Martha, who were for- merly boarders with Mrs. Whitson, at No. 81 East Broadway; also a Miss Jane Struthers, who resides with her mother, st No, 215 Chrystie street.
