Whe Foreign News—The Struggle Stitt Pending—Will Europe be Republican er ‘Cossack t We publish, in another part of this day’s paper» @ summary of European intelligence, which was eonveyed to this continent by the steamship Cale- donia, and which reached this city last evening, by express and telegraph. The most important feature of this intelligence fis the fact, that several engagements have occurred between the Hungarians and the Anstro-Russian forces, which resulted in some partial successes for the Hungarians. There is no indication that that gallant people have met with any adverses; and 0 thinned and exhausted are the imperial forces, | ae well as those of the Emperor of Russia, in con- sequence of this struggle, thata letter from Vienna to Paris, states that overtures for a settlement of all difficulties between Austria and Hungary, have been submitted by the former.

We shall probably get both this morning, and, in our eve- ming edition to-day, and in to-morrow’s paper, we | shall publish full details of the news. It will be recollected, that, at the last accounts, Vienna was threatened by the victorious Hungarians, and that great consternation prevailed in that capital in eonsequence. In order to protect that city, we Jearn that the Austrians called on the King of Ba- varia for the assistance of fifty thousand men, and that sovereign was about to comply with the re- quisition, and furnish the desired assistance, at the last accounts. From France there is nothing exciting or im- portant by this arrival. The legislative assembly has adjourned, but not before an angry and strong debate had taken place between the parties, the result of which was, that M. Pierre Bonaparte was arrested and committed, for making an assault on the pereon of a brother member of that body. In fifty years, said the far-seeing Napoleon, on the Island of Elba, Europe will be republican or Coesack. The time for the realization of the pre- diction, in one way or the other, is close at hand; and if the whole of that quarter of the world were animated by the same spirit which inspires the Hungarians, in their uneven and unequal struggle ‘with the Austro-Ruseian armies, there would be mo fear as to the result. But they are not; and | among those who desire that Europe shall be | | Cossack rather than republican, is the individual mow at the head of the French nation, between | whom and the chief of the ( ks, there seems to | be an amicuble and friendly understanding, if not | a porttive alliance. | In persecuting the Poles, in | denying to that suffering and much-abused people | an asylum, a refuge from persecution in republican France, Louis Napoleon has identified himself | with the Czar of Russie, the chief of the Cossacks. The latter wrote an amiable and interesting letter to Louis Nopolcoa, entreating him to banish from France the Polish refagees who had taken shelter within its dominions. An equally amiable and in- teresting letter of compliance was returned, and in this reepect, at least, if not in others, France has | become Covsack ‘re 18 no knowing to what farther extent Louis Napoleon may not be willing to oblige the chief of the Cossacke, provided, we ate the favor by aid- suppose, the Czar will ree ing Louis Napoleon in furthering his views in tublishmg « regal or mmperial dynasty in France, with his unworthy eelf at the head of it. However, we | love Sor the war werd avo. We find democrats Bishop Hughes and The Press—Audacious prominent in thesr exertions to receive the Presi- dent becomingly, and had he continued his tour, he would have found the same unity of feeling everywhere he went. The election returns, however, feeling is merely a personal respect to neral Taylor, and that politically his administration is now more unpopulur than almost any of the pre- ceding administrations. pregnant with jnterest? Should they not be re- consideration but that of making the most of the short time they will be permitted to remain in office? The cabinet of General Taylor has already done much to injure his populanty; let them con- tinue the same ultra-proscriptive course, and they will not only consign themselves to utter infamy, but they will also drag Zachary Taylor with them into the deep abyss. ‘We are not disposed to judge either harshly or regard the puerile fereign policy, so far behind the age, we can form but one opinion; and that is, was.elected by the people, not as the champion of defunct whiggery, but as the honest old man who knavery of ;rofessed politicians—to edmuistet the government for the good of the whole | people, and not for the advancement of political hacks and their oflspring—to purify the govern. ment and to promote the spread of republican prineiples. How has he succeeded so furt We beheve him to be still the same honest old man, but we believe he'has been misled; and as-ene of his earliest supporters—as the first paper which breught his name before the American people in comnection with the Presidency, we warn him of the abyss to which he'is fast hurrying. Let “him but ponder on the facts which have been presented to him during his tour—let him use his owa judg- ment, and all may yet be well. But so sure as he continues to pursue the course he is now doing— | to allow others to usurp the power which alone is his—he and his administratinn will be swallowed up in one eommon grave of unpopularity and use- lessness. ne a to ei ae Tue Anpvcrion or Rey.—It is now certain that the Spaniard Rey, who was forcibly abducted from New Orleans, and conveyed to Cuba, has been surrendered by the Governor General of that island, on the demand of Mr. Campbell, the Ame- rican Consul, and that he arrived a few days since in New Orleans, the city from which he was | dragged by the emisearies and agents of the Go- We must pay a tribute to the in- | dependent and manly stand assumed by the Ame- | rican Consul in Havana, on this snbject. As soon as he heard of the man’s abduction from New Or- leans, he seems to have determined to act prompt- ly and energetically in the matter. Accordingly, as soon as the vessel in which Rey was abducted reached Havana, be demanded an interview with him, and pursued the business to the last, through the intricecies, plots, and subterfuges which Span- 4sh cunning wove areund it, until he succeeded at ength in rescuing the individual in whose person agroes and flagrant violation of the law of nations, as well as insult to the United States, were com- mitted. The interests of this country are so gene- rally set at nought by owr consular representatives abroad, that the manly and straightforward con- duet of Mr. Campbell is peculiarly gratifying and agreeable. But the man Rey, having been thus surrendered, and sent back to the part from which he was vio. lently dragged, it must not be supposed that repa- ration has been made for the insult which has been perpetrated on the American people. The offence commutted was the abduction, and the government at Warhington must, and we have no doubt will, in- sist upon ample atonement. Even without the evi- dence ot Rey, there 1s abundance of testimony to prove, that the Governor General of Cuba, and the Spanish Consul at New Orleans, deliberately laid a deep plot or conspiracy to violate our territory, and insult our people, by abducting Rey from that city forcibly and against his will, and sending him to Cuba to answer for po- litical offences committed ‘on that island. With Rey’s evidence, the perpetration of the crime will | be made as clear as the sun at noon-day. The insult | was deliberately planned and effectually consum- | mated. The surrender of Rey, therefore, does not mitigate or paliiate the original insult or crime. It is only an acknowledgment, by the Governor Ge- | neral of Cuba, that his conspiracy was discovered, | | and an effort to ward off the ulterior remedy which | the United States would certainly have resorted to, | for the purpose of procuring the liberation of the abducted individual. In this respect, it strengthens and confirms the commission of the crime. We, therefore, hope that the authorities of New | Orleans, the State of Louisiana, and of the United | | vernor General. | States, will proeecute the criminal charge against | the Spenish Consul, uninfluenced by fear or favor, | to a termination, as speedily es may be consistent ; with the ends of justice. If convicted, as there is | every probability he wall be, the utmost penalty of | If, however, the Hungarlane succeed in estab” Kiebing their national indepe ce, the Cossack | allisnce between Louis Napoleon and the Czar of | Russia will be of no avail. The heart of the | marece of the French people is in the nght place, | pod pever will reepond to any attempt of the | French government to suppress the glorious aspi- | rations of the whole people of Europe for liberty. Bat that the innate military honor of the French soldiery, wae wounded when the defenders of | Rome attacked and repulsed them when they | marched to the gates of the eternal city and de- | manded its surrender, they never would have fought against Roman liberty, for the purpose of reinstating the Papal sovereign in the postion | which he deserted. ! on his Tour — Probable Return. It will be seen, by our correspondenee, that the President's health is so much impaired as to render it highly probable he will not prolong his tour through the country, but get back to Washington ‘as rapidly and as privately as possible. His dis- erder is bilious fever, combined with diarrhwa; and at the last advices he was suffering severely. Ik is probable he might have escaped had he used am little brandy as « corrective of the lime water, but we understand he could not be induced to use it; and his aversion to medicine is nearly as great. Dr. Wood, of the army, his son-in-law, and Dr. ‘Wood, of the navy, attached to the Michigan, at Erie, are in attendance. Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Bliss, and Colonel Bullitt are probably in Erie by this ime. ‘We cannot but think that the cabinet is extremely eulpable for having induced him to travel at this siskly season of a more than asually unhealthy year. The election returns, however, were com- The Presid img in and plainly marking the deep and wide- | wpread dissatisfaction of the people at the course parmued by the cabinet. It was necessary to stem ‘his torrent, and the personal popularity of General ‘Taylor might succeed in doing so. He was there- fore, doubtless, advised and induced to set out ‘pon the journey; and the result is, that he now lies seriously, if not dangerously, ill, at Erie—a maecrifice to the selfishness of his bad advisers. But has the President's tour eucceeded in strengthening the cabinet? Is there to be found an allusion in any of the addresses presented to him, to the cabinet? Has there escaped, during the whole of hie progress through Pennsylvania, a commendatory expression in favor of the | @abinet? The people everywhere were anxious, ipneapective of party, to how their respect for the @bief Magistrate of the Republic—to display their the law should be inflicted on the Consul and | the egents whom he employed to consommate his | vile conepiracy ; and, alter conviction shall have been obtained, and the Consul consigned to the | penitentiary or the State prison, General Taylor ought to insist vpon the dismissal of the Governor General of Cuba. This should be demanded, cs wellas a disavowal, by the Spanish goveroment, | of having sunctioned the outrageous proceeding. | In the present state of Europe, it is essential for | the United States to vindicate every infringement | on its rights, honor, or dignity; we must show | the old world that this great nation cannot be in- | tulted with impunity—thet we are determined to maintain ovr dignity, and honor, and interest, at any and every hazard.

About a year ago, Mr. T. Darcy M’Gee, one of the Irish refugees, who had just then landed oy, our shores, established in New York an indeper.d- show that this | ent newspaper, devoted to Irish interests, cv led the Nation. Soon after it made its appea’.ance, Bishop Hughes attacked the editor anovy«yously in the columne of his organ, the Freemans Journal, Are not these fucts | because he dared to entertain, and circv'ate among the Irieh in this country, opinions whio?, were not in garded as instructive lessons?

But we believe there is a clase of animated beings more troublesome to quiet people than mosquitoes, midges, wasps, or hornets ; and that clase may be set down as artiste, musiciane, 8, and players of the day, It 1s nearly twenty- five years since we have had something to do with people of this description, as critic, or writer, or editor, or patron; and frem the time of Mali- bran to the present day, the trouble and annoyance which we have had with them seem to have in- creased, and now promise in time to become greater than have parsons and politicians. When the Itahan.Opera opened at the Broadway Theatre, we took pains to give due encouragemeny to the artists who appeared there. With managers and theatrical proprietors we have but little trouble, because they are generally people of sense ; but with those fastidious mortals who sing for the initiated, dance for the million, or rant for the de- lectuble few, the annoyances are really worse than the cholera in its highest stages. Well, when the opera commenced at the Broadway Theatre, we gave particular instructions to our critics to deal with all the artists fairly, to treat them properly, ard criticise them justly and generously. Before the second week is over, under the system com- menced in pursuance of those }iberal instructions, we have received the following remonstrance from Signor Biscaccianty, in relation to some notice of the performances at that theatre :— New Youre, August 30, 2849.

Jas. Gonvon Banwxtt, Eeq. We hardly know what to say to this. The gentlemen, to the number of nearly a dozen, who are employed oa this journal, generally do the bes, they can, to treat artists with proper regard to their capacity and talents respectively. It is probable that this epistle is merely the forerunner of some more of those denunciations which have been pro- nounced by diseppointed artists against the editor of this journal, and of all the ridieulous charges reiterated about black mail and other vulgar busi- ness. What isto be done? How is the press to be independent How are critics to notice artists, if every ordinary remark is to bring out a remon- strance, leading the way to charges and coastant anneyances to those who, like ourself, very seldom go to the theatre or the opera ? Look at the csse of Fanny Elisler,when she waa in this country. During ber career, we were beset bight and day by her agent, Wikoff, who was eternally soliciting, praying and asking for notices, puffs and praises of the most intermin- able and unreasonable kind; yet after the termina- tion of her career, and the separation of Wikoff from her petticoats, we were assailed in the most atrocious manner by that person, in almost every journal in this city, for those very kindnesses and benefits bestowed on both during her career in this country.
