M. to10 ewane Concent—Faencn jew York, Wednesday, July 25, 1849, Affairs of Europe. By the last accounts which we received from Europe, the Eternal City had succumbed, and was in the possession of the French. We obtained this | act by the last arrival; but the mystery which | has overhung the intervention of the French in the affairs of that young and promising republic, is as much unrevealed as it ever was. In the absence of any information tending to | place a more favorable construction en that very | suspicious movement, we are compelled to think | it probable that Louis Napoleon and the French | government are acting in pursuance of a direct | understanding with the Russian and German — despotic governments ; and, perhaps, with England | likewise, by herself. This view of the case is strengthened, in a great measure, by the mis- sion ef Louis Napoleon's cousin from Ras- | sia to the French republic, he being mur- | med to the daughter of the Russian Empe- ror. The object of this mission is, likely, toform a cozlition or alliance, with the view of establish- | img Louis Napoleon on the throne of France. Europe, at the present time, is a sorrowful pic- ture to contemplate, and the causes which con- tnbuted to produce the reactionary movement which is now going on there, and to crush the | spirit of liberty, are not unknown to those who have watched the course of events in that quarter | of the werld for a twelvemonth past. There are two of them, from which we are con- vinced the present state of Europe has origi- mated. The first—the efforts of all those whose interests would sufler by revolution, and who are interested, more or less, in the pre- servation of the old forms of government; such as | financiers of all kinds, and the trading and com- | mercial classes of the large cities. Those classes have done theirutmost to stay the tide of revolution, because it destroyed trade, and impaired the sys- | tem of credit so c osely interwoven with all the old | governments ; and another 1s the length to which the socialists and other enthusiasts of thit ilk | went, soon after the dethronement of Loius Philippe, and which has been more or less per- sisted in to this day, and which has frightened all rational and sober-minded people throughout | Europe, as wellas France. We are perfectly satis- | fied that socialism has done more to throw back | the tide of liberal principles in Europe than | all the power of Russia and glaad, com- bined, could effect in the same direction, and that it may yet throw [rance into an im- | perialism. If there had been no socialist d.s. turbances—if France had thrown herself into the popular movement, by marching a hundred thou- gand men to the Rhine, and an army of an equal number to Italy, to promote and assist the Germans and Italians in their aspirations for freedom, she could have become the master of Lurope, and Yaised the masses of that region from the thraldom and servitude under which they have so long pined. If she had adopted such a course, she could, by uniting with the liberal party in both Germany and Ivaly, have broken down all alliances that the despotic powers might have entered into against her. As for England, she might have been put at defiance, for she is so much covered with debt as to preclude her entering into or forming any coalition similar to that of 1793, But it seems that dynastic notions, more than any other, prevail in the present government of France, promoted by the stock-jobbing and trading interests, aud fertified and strengthened by the arguments and acts of the socialists. Those po- litical fanatics are not aware of the injury they have inflicted on the cause of liberty in Euroy by pursuing their impractieable theories, and sisting the natural progress which leads to free- dom. ‘They seem to have no notions about go- vernment but to fight out their differences in the streets, at the mouth of the cannon or at the poiat of the bayonet. Instead of discussing imy at questions or differences of opinion rationally and quietly, or of the minority submitting, for the time being, to the rule of the majority, they must rash from the forum to the barricade ia an instant. Until they become better acquainted with true and rational republican government, such as is estab- lished in the United States, they will always be the tools of political fanatics, like the sociali or of the stock jobbers and impenalists who wish to establish a dynasty in France, and increase the amount of the public indebtedness. Those political theorists and reformers are not eonfined to France. In this country we have a similar description of political fanatics, without any practical notions on the subject, but who are overflowing with absurd theories on every matter connected with society and politics. They must have their hobby, and they have seized on the condition of the African race in the Southern States as their's, and are now runninga wild ca- reer in certain portions of the country, which may eventuate in anarchy of no common kind, or some terrible convulsion in the Southern States, before many years shall have elapsed Intenestine rrow Crna —The bark Elliot ar rived yesterday, in twenty-four days’ passage from Cienfuegor.

OF War. fuch bulworks. General Scott In the Field, on Both Sides of the Border. The brief letter of General Scott, disclosing his favorable opinion of the annexation of Canada to the United States, with the concurrence of the British government and the Canadians themselves, has produced a good deal of sensation on this side of the border, but nothing equal to that which we see on the other side, beyond the Lakes and the Niagara river, Gen. Scott’s name—his character—his posi- tion—his history—his military exploits—are all “ fa- miliaras household words” throughout this country. But, in Canada, he has burst upon them in a new light, and aseumed a positisn altogether different from that which he oceupied during their late re- bellion, a few years ago. We have already given some extracts from the Canadian papers, and now present another tit-bit taken from the Hamilton Journal and Express, a ministerial paper, of July on the an. 20th :— “ We subjoin a letter from General ry! tates. The ing fun at the American voters, with nexation of British North America to the General must be poki 4 view of catching them at the next Presidential elec- tion. Itis beers that he can be 60 ignorant as to euppore Great Britain will part with any portion of her territory to enrich a foreign State The boundary dis- turbances are sufficient to show her disposition in this matter. As for compulsory annexativi cannot for moment believe such an idea could enter into the mn of any sane man. The Montreal tory writers to the New York papers may lead some of the Americans by ® conriderable portion of the community.— Such, however, is not the fact. The people, with but few exevptions, are perfectly satisfied with the con- nexion which at present exists, Their patriotism is quite qual to maintuin the connexion were it al tempted to be severed, No other country in the world pesesses Iore genuine liberty ‘The increased faci li- ies for trade which will be in full forcv next year. will bring that prosperity which will no longer induce the srombler to weigh his loyalty and honor against del- lars und cents, Canada is destined to be the most ‘Tous portion of North America, Fler great capa- and boundless resources will shortly be brought d the St Lawrence will be the great thorough- | fare of the world. It will be seen that the Geveral bas not paid much attention to our polities, er he would know that the “news from the Parliament of Great Britain.” has given“ discontent’ only te the tories—a mere faction of the people—whilst to the reformers, the goverpment party, and consisting of full three- fourths of the electors—the news has given the most | unqualified eaticfaction, | Perhaps there may be some truth in the state- | ment about ** poking fun at the American voters,” | in the estimation of the Canadians, but we doubt the funny part of it in this region. Those who begin to think of General Scott as a candidate for the next Presidency, are very serious in the mat- ter; and we begin to hear the subject talked of in a variety of ways, in different places. As a states- man and politician, General Scott’s history is somewhat difierent from that of a great military chieftain. In the latier capacity, he is a rival to the most brilliant chieftain known to the civilized world; in the former ke has made mistakes here- tofore, sufficient to teach him prudence for the future. To ovr certain knowledge, Gen. Scott, in 1840, of his knowledge of men and things, in the political world, had been equal to his acquaintance the nomination of the whig convention of that year, which was given to General Harrison, and might have occupied the Presidential chair for eight years, upto 1848, We were the first editor, of any note or force, to bring the name of Scott before the country at that period—in 1839—in op- potition to Mr. Clay; and if General Seott had followed our advice and adopted our opinion, in- stead of placing too much confidence in the hack- neyed politicians of the day, he could then have succeeded in reaching the Presidency, as General Taylor has done since. Whether General Scott attain the position of a strong candidate for the Presidency in 1852, de- pends on the men in whom he places confidence— on the parties with whom he advises—and on his own prudence and magnanunity, from this time up | to the period when the nomination is to be made. Itis very certain that recent events and coming | prospects give him some chance—nay, a strong chance—of being a powerful candidate in the ap- preaching Presidential election, provided his friends and himself understand their real po- | tition, their strongest points, and their traest | interests, Of all our public men, General Scott comes before the country and the world with the renewed strength of years of pub- he service. The eflect of his brilliant campaign in Mexico, aided and assisted as he was by his officers and troops of the bravest and best descrip- tion, in Europe and throughout the eivilized world, | 1s beyond that which has ever heretofore been knwon inthe history ef this country. Indeed, for a perellel to the careerof Scott, and its results in this point of view,we must look only to some of the great military dramas which give so much interest to the history of the old Roman republic—to the wars, for instance, between Rome and Carthage. At the commencement of the war with Mexico, the military resources and military skill ef the United States were the subject of ridicule and lavght'r in Europe. Our success was dee u'terly improbable. Ourarmies were called armies of “loafer: and the idea that generals, who were represented as having spent their life on the borders, could lead large bodies of troops and overthrow the enemy, provoked only jeers and | loughter. The first victories under General Taylor opened the eyes of many in Europe to the true state of effuirs ; but it was only when Scott captured Vera Cruz, and accomplished the memorable mareh to the citadel of Mexico, that due eredit was awarded | to American prowess and American military skill. | By his shdre in the campaign, General Scott has advanced the reputation of the United States, promoted her prosperity, and added to the value of our public securitice, more thea an hundred years of peace could have done. Unquestionably all this will exercise the most salatary eflect upon all our foreign negotiations hereafter. It is net easy to avoid the conviction, then, that | in the next Presidential contest, General Scott, dirpite of the various errors which he bi | mitted os a politician, will prove a most power candidate. A In all bility, General Taylor is the last President who will be elected by the popular suf- frages for some time to come. Party organization has become so much deranged, that the next elee- tion will doubtless be thrown into the Louse of Representatives. | | | | 3 | Tur Proeress oy Nava Ancmrrcrere.—In the minute end interesting description of the new line of United States steamers, published in Sunday's Herald, will be found some grati- fying facts, indicative of the rapid progress of this country in the construction of ocean steamere.

Mr. Law will receive yearly for the use of four shipe (witha fifth in recerve) $290,000. Whether we eonsider this contract in reference to the value the govern- ment receive in having four or five first class war steamers, whenever they wart them, or as com- pared with the compensation given by the Bntish government for similar service, in tar inferior ves- sels, the government have evidently the best of the bargain. The contract of the Bntish govern- ment for the conveyance of the West India mails, is $1,200,000. Mr. Law receives for a larger amount of mileage, €290,000. This compensation is evidently emall; but small as it ie, without it, such vessels as Mr. Law’s could not be built by individual enterprise alone, without the patronage ef government; for they cost 80 much more than would be neceseary for the mere purposes of com- merce, that they would not pay. They have been constructed to carry five ten inch guns on either side, and two {twelve inch traversing guns. The former would throw shot or shell of 120 Ibs. weight, ranging from three to four miles. The twelve inch, of course. would throw a heavier metal, and command a eull longer range. One of these steamers is worth a dozen of the small French steamboats. They can carry large bodies of troops together, which is a grand desi- deratum; and from the length of the range of their guns, and great saling powers, they may go as close as they please to an enemy’s coast, and retreat again with impunity. They can keep away from small craft, and sink them at such a distance that the calibre of the guns of the latter would not be equal to half the range. Finally, as naval officers are to be placed on board these steamers, they will have an opportuni- ty of being trained in the working of the very ves- sels they may have to command in a future contin- gency, instead of being found practically unac- | quainted with their business when the day of trial | comes. T! therefore, is another great advan- tage. In fae every way, the arrangement is | most desirable; and we trust our other merchants | will be stimulated to further progress by the exam- ple of a gentleman who deserves so well of his | country, for his enterprise and his public spirit. ‘The Progress of the Cholera, IN THIS CITY.

So far from a singte of fort belng made, they have been entirely neiiected, though they are expected to bear an equal burden of the taxatiqn which must necessarily arise to carry out the measures adopted by the Sanitary Committee, for the protection of other portions of the city. It cannot be unknown tothe Beard of Health, that a piggery, containing about a thousand hogs, is’ located ou For- tieth strect, between Second and Third avenues, to the annoyance of the whole neighborhood, and where us great mortality has prevailed as in any other portion of the city, ‘That they are aware a dung heap. cover- ing an arca of from two to four acres of ground, exists on Thirty-seventh street, near Seeond avenue, there is not a doubt; for those living in the immediate vicinity pave repeatedly requested, that it be ‘removed, ant have been as often promised that it should be.

Brooklyn City Intelligence. Fines —A fire broke out on Monday evening last, be- tween the hours of ten and eleven o'clock, in a small building in Raymond street, in the vicinity of the eho- lera hospital. It was extingutshed, however, after doing trifling damage. Another fire was discovered about ten o'clock yesterdsy morning. in the premisos of Mersrs Mundell & butler, in the bioek bounded by Adam, York, Prospect and Pearl streets, supposed to bave originated from a wooden building ases this firm as a gas fitting uianufactory. By the prompt exer- tions of the firemen, who were immediately upon the fpot. and ured almest superhuman efforts te subdue the flerce flames, the surrounding buildings fronting on Adams ang [earl streets were saved. The couls in the coal yard belonging to Mr. Yates, at the corner of Proepect and Pearl, wlso took fire, and required @ con- stant stream of water upon them. The firm above mentioned lost a horse in the flames, and a young man, pamed J. Heward, was severely burned in attempting to save the animal. It is impossible to give an accu- rate account of the lors sustainea by the sufferers. but it cavnot fall short of two or three thousand dollars. The great wonder is that so little damage was sustained, as there was quite a higo wied at the time. and every- thing, but the bravery and intrepidity of the firemen, contributed to the progress of the flames, The firemea had bardly had balf an hour's rest, when tl were again summoned by an alarm of tire.
