M. te 10 New York, Monday, October 1, 1949, Our Foreign Policy—Mr. Clayton and the Oabine' ‘The indications of the foreign policy about to be pursued by the present cabinet, furnish some slight parallel to the line of policy which was adopted near the close of the last century, under the ad- ministration of the elder Adams, and concocted by the old and respectable federal party of that day. On the retirement of the immortal Washing- ten to Mount Vernon, at the end of his second presidency, John Adams became President of the United States, after an embittered contest between Jefferson and himeelf, in which the foreign policy ef the country was a strong and paramount ele- ment. At the commencement of Mr. Adams's ca- reer, the foreign policy of the country did not show hat distinct and broad feature, on the general ques- tion’between republicanism and monarchy, which it did after he closed his career, by defeat at the end ef histerm. Yet afew months was sufficient to reveal the character of the policy adopted by John Adams and his advisers. In that day, the great popular agitation was be- tween the French republic and its reminiscences 4m opposition to the movements and policy of the eld monarchies and feudalism of Europe. Mr- Adame’s cabinet, unfortunately for its own success, and in opposition to the spirit of the American peo- ple of that day, adopted a line of policy in utter and bitter hostility to all sympathy with the French republic and French republicanism throughout the world. On every occasion, that cabinet assumed the side and played into the hands of the ministers, agents and diplomatists of the old monarchies. We might enumerate various acts and incidents illus- tating this general view of the policy assumed by the old and hig hly respectable cabinet of the elder Adams; but it is unnecessary. The history o those days will furmsh the anxious enquirer with all the facts of the case. What a singular parallel do we not findin the poliey of the present cabinet, headed by Mr. Clay- ten, and imposed on the un suspecting Genera Taylor, our magnanimous President! What a singular parallel between the position now as sumed towards the French republic of the present day, contrasted with what is pursued towards the absolute and military despotisms on both con- tinents! At the end of nearly half a century, we see, by some inscrutable dispensation of Providence, a policy adopted by the American cabinet, similar to that whieh broke down the administratioa of John Adams—a policy hoatile to the spirit of the Ameri- | ean people, and insulting to their warm and ener- getic sympathy for republicanistn, wherever it 1s to be found. Already, the efforts made by Mr. Clay- ton and his organs, to create a quarrel out of a question of etiquette with the French republic, while he is endeavoring to prop up and sustain the military despotism of Spain, fora little while longer, on this continent, presente a series of facts which, when sufficiently brooded over, will cause a re- bound in the hearts of the American people, and jead to consequences very unfortunate to the un- bounded popularity of our patriotic President, who has been entirely bewildered by the meshes of a narrow set of politiciunaat Washington. Such an attempt to get up a quarrel with France—to create a rupture with the only republic in the old world— | has been for fifty years under the b an in this great | e@ountry; and the attempt to revive it at this late day, by the tea-pot cabinet, headed by Mr. Clay- | ton, will never succeed in this great, enlightened, Tux Asrox Puace Massacra—Tue Greatest Discevery or Tus AGu.—The eelebrated Har- vey discovered the circulation of the blood, and, ever since, his name has been famous. Galileo discovered that the earth on which we lived revolves, instead of the sun, and he is accordingly set down as one of the celebri- ties of the past. Archimedes discovered some new problems in geometry, and his name has come down from ancient tumes, encircled with a halo of glory. Even in our own time, Herschell made him- | self famous by the discovery of the planet which ¢ is named after him; and Baron Napier, Lord of Marchiston, made himself equally famous by the discovery of logarithms. Bat all those eele- brated men and wonderful discoverers, are out- stripped, and left entirely ont of sight, by a quiet, modest individual, who is known to a certain few under the soubriyuet ot Hiram Fuller, now occu- pying the post of Naval Storekeeper at Brooklyn, on the look out continually after the big cannon, so that they don’t run away. This new genius in the art of discovery, is also editor of an evening paper, of little cireulation, and has published his discovery in his columns, disclosing the origin, cause, and everything, about the famous Astor Place not, and the massacre of the 10th of May last. Here is the wonderful revelation :-— “The quarrel of the two actors was but the occasion of the riot; wuse bad its origin in the state of bit terne: we trace the bloodshed of that awful night to the simple well known fact, that the manager of the Opera had seen fit to refuse @ season seat to the editor of the New York Herald, ‘Behold how great # matter a little fire kindloth!? *? What a pity Mr. Fry, the manager of the Opera about a year ago, did not know his business bet- ter. If it be true, as stated, that the refusal of a season ticket to the editor of the New York Herald, i was the cause of the massacre of twenty-five quiet citizens, and the wounding of sixty others, the edi- tor of the Herald has certainly produced a great rumpus about a very small affair. Such a disco- very, for the first time revealed, is utterly astound- ing. But with regard to the season ticket, the fact happens to be otherwise than it is stated. The editor of the Herald had a season ticket tor the first season of the Opera ; but finding he was cheated out of his due in the abrupt termination of that sea- son, he refused to pay money for any other season, and when he went to the Opera—which was very seldom--he paid his way, like any other quiet citi zen, at the door. This fact, now for the first time divulged, conflicts with the astounding discovery of the Naval Storekeeper, and that of another dis- tinguished genius in the same line, M. M. Noah, who occupies a sinecure post in the New York Custom House. We rather think we could name individuals more nearly connected with the creation of that riot than the editor of the New York Herald, who was not on the spot during the riot, never saw it, and knew nothing of its details, except what was fur- nished by the general preas ef thecity. There was acertain celebrated card published, inviting Mr. Macready to play after the first night, on which it appears a collision took place between the famous Captain Rynders and Hiram Fuller himself; but about what we neither know nor care. That card was signed by Washington Irving and a number of other persons, some respectable and seme ether- wiece; and we believe tickets were given by some of them, by the dozen, to certain fighting characters about town, who attended the theatre that night, and assisted in kicking up the row which led to the riot and the awful massacre that followed. We think the highly respectable gentlemen who signed that card, or manifesto, to the public, calling on them to go te the theatre, together with the other unknown characters who issued and circulated a counter document, calling upon all the rowdies to meet on the night in question—we tiink these movements had a greater effect in produciag the riot than the refusal of any manager to give a season ticket to an editor, nearly a year before the riot occurred. All the facts, however, m the latter branch of the Astor Place massacre, will soon come out on the trial of the famous Cap- iain Rynders and his associates, who have been tndicted for instigating and inciting the riot, and who will probably be put upon their defence in a | short time. We can’t help thinking that it is a bad piece of | policy in our envious cotemporaries, to ascribe such important, withering, far-reaching, and won- derful mfluence tothe New York Herald and its editor, on every occasion. There isa small coterie of them, who, whenever anything happens, throw up their hands, look up to heaven, and attribute | eveything to the terrible influence of the New York Herald, and the power of its shocking—very shocking editor. In the year 1840, in consequence of a similar rivalry and jealousy, the whole daily | press of the city set on the Herald, and abused it | in every possible way, for six months in succession. That campaign was worth to us, in the way of ad- vertising the merits of our journal, from thirty to fifty thousand dollars, in the increase ot patronage which it breught to us, The same portion of the preas of the present day have learned common sense since that event; but there is a emall clique of narrow-minded men con- nected with the Sunday press, and some of the small evening papers, who are utterly incapable of understanding history, or taking lessons from the events that occur before them. Hiram Faller, the Naval Storekeeper, who has revealed the wonder- ful digcovery that the refusal of a season ticket, by the manager of the Opera, to the editor of the Herald, eight or nine months previously, was the cause of the riot and massacre in Astor Place, is eithet one of the most wonderful discoverers of the age, or belongs to the coterie of the smallest and liberal age, among such an intelligent and reading generation as is now spread over this great eoubtry. Axsornen Dirtomatic Row at Wasutsaron— | Movements or tue Tearor Caninet.—We have further intelligence from Washington, of a row between Mr. Clayton and the Minister from Chili, in the letter of our correspondent to-day—also, the further movements of the teapot cabinetin the case ef Mr. Poussin, and the sound and sensible judg- ment of Old Rough ond Ready thereon. As the matter now etands, we shall take strong sides with Gen. Taylor, in the position which he has taken. He isthe man to take a position, and to | stand to it. We have, however, a sort of protocol 1° tubmitto Mr. Cleyten, (for we like Mr. Clayton | some,) es the entering wedge to a treaty of peace | hereafter. Father Mathew is moving southward, | and will shortly be in Washington. If, therefore, Mr. Clayton will come forward and sign the pledge for two yeare, or even for eighteen months, we shell Tet bim eff, with all his blunders, and say no more about them. We shall enter into a corres pondence, and a treaty, and @ promise, not to get outof temper or kick up a panic about it. We shall aleo help him out with Cavallo and Chili, and aid bim to restore the entente cordiale with the Bey of Tunis. We may even get up a dinner of chow- der, like that of the Pilgrim dinner of Mr. Webster wend ter Willis, at Cape Cod. When we have no ware in Mexico, and no revolutions in Europe, @ teapot cabinet furnishes excellent matter for newspapers, and some amusement to the public, if if it does not last too long Later rrom Yucatax.—The brig Melazzo, Capt, Nichols, arrived at this port yesterday, trom Sisals whence she sailed on the 10th ult. It was reported, when Capt. Nichols left, that the Indians were withio fifteen miles of the place, and it was ex pected that an attack would soon be made. The nhabitants were greatly alarmed, of course; but the authorities were preparing to give the Indians & warm reception—and they were strengthened by some 500 men from Merida Powvwastee at Sr. Lovis.—Arehibald Gamble, Req. | has been appointed Postmaster at @t.

He had better keep a sharp look out that the big cannon in the Navy Yard don’t run away, and leave editing newspapers to people who are qualified for the daty. General Taylor ought to give him some advice on the subject. ‘The Eqeinoctial Storm—Loss of a Freneh Ship, and the British Bark Flora, ‘We are informed by Captain White, of the brig Alfa. retta, (arrived yesterday from Velasoo, Texas.) that on bie parsnge be experienced a terrible hurricane, which lasted from the 17th to the 20th of September. On the night of the 20th, in lat. 30° 0, lon. 78* 60, he fell ith the British bark Flora, Capt. Ashby, im a sinking condition; he lay by during that night, and on the next day Capt. Ashby his crew abandoned their veorel, and succeeded in reaching the brig ina whaleboat, The Flere was @ new vessel, of 725 tons burthen, belonging to Hall, tngland ; she sailed trom Liverpool on the 20th of July, with a cargo of railroad iron, ralt, and coal, bound to Charleston, §.C.

The London Times has also quite an amusmg editorial article on the same subject, which will be found in our columns elsewhere. A private correspondent gives ussome further curious facts in relation to this unfortunate affair. ” It seems that Mr. Delafield, the person who at- tempted to establish the rival ltahan Opera, had been left over £100,000, by his father, who had been a capital brewer; but the son, having an am- bition beyond malt and beer, wished to become a leader of fashionable seciety in London. He ac- quired this taste by several visita to the continent —attending the Opera House in Paris—getting ac- quainted with ballet dancers, and being introduced to female artistes. Having plenty of money in his pocket, and hair around his mouth—but not a su- perabundance of brains—he was induced to invest the whole of his property in attempting to establish the rival Italian Opera House in London; and the report of the trial, which we gave the other day, discloses the shocking bankruptey which followed up these efforts. The first error which led to the ruin of Delafield was his quarrelling with the Times newspaper, about some paltry tickets, in consequence of which the Times excluded the notices of the theatre. The result of the whole transaction 18, that poor Delafield has saved no- thing out of the large fortune left him by his father. | He has come out of the project berett of every- | thing, unless it be his mustachios. | Ignorant, unpractised men, with little mind, but | plenty of vanity and conceit, should never attempt | to meddle with the management of Italian opera. | Signor Maretzek, who 1s about to make a third trial to manage the Opera here at Astor place, bids fair to have some success. He has tact, discretion, and great experience—very important items in such a business. But even these qualities are not enough to reach success. The Opera going people —the hawt ton uptown—must also show some dis- cretion, tact and sense—articles sometimes not so plenty with them as stocks, bonds, cash, and cod- fish. They must first show their sense in the shape of increasing the subscription prices for the season, at least one-half over the recent rates. Luxuries must be paid fer. Exquisite Italian music isa dearer article in Europe than pork or molasses. Butithis is not all. It is rumored among musical cireles that Mr. Fry, the ex-manager, iatends to make a rival attempt at Niblo’s Garden, du- Ting the approaching season; and that the old company, Benedetti, Truffi, and others, with whom he had so many quarrels and flare-ups, are | going to unite with him in opposition to the new Astor Place company, engaged by Maretzek. It | seems, that Mr. Fry has removed his property from the Astor Place theatre, in the midst of some amusing and exciting seenes, and that he has | opened negotiations with Mr. Niblo, to accom- | plish the new project in view. This would be going over the same ground, and would probably | hibit similar results, as have followed the Opera | recently in London. During the last Opera sea- | son, if Mr. Fry had been better skilled in manage- | ment, instead of losing fifteen or twenty thousand dollars, ae 18 stated, he might have saved himself, if he had used more economy and better temper | than what he observed. Me continually had on one house. To open two Italian Operas, rivals to | each other, in New York, would be certain ruin to both, even amid all the profusion, and prosperity, which the better classes have en. joyed for the last year. Even the Opera at the | Broadway theatre recently, and without any ri- | valry, too, was by no means successful, beeause it was attempted at an unseasonable time, when | our opera-going people were out of town, and its | dependence was thrown entirely on those who go to the English and other theatres. With good management and superior artists, there is a proba- bility of Maretzek’s success in the attempt which | | he is contemplating in the Astor Place theatre, but | if a rival establishment is opened at Nible’s, there can be no doubt that the result will show a greater barrenness than that of the last two seasens in this city, and will, perhaps, rival, in some degree, the woful disclosures recently made im the Opera business in London. Mar. Faitures—Reckiess ManaGeMent or THR Post Orrick Derartment.—In every department of a government there may sometimes be palliating cireumstances for occasional derelictions of daty; but in the present imbecile and reckless manage- | ment of the Post Office Department, there can be | no excuse for the continual and almost daily fail- ure of the mails. From no section of the country, however near by or distant, is there any punctual- ity in the reception of our exchanges and letters, and we are frequently left from ten to fifteen days without advices from the South and West, except by aid of the telegraph. By an arrangement recently carried into effect, the entire Western mails are brought and carried | by way of Buffalo and the lakes—an arrangement | which, if properly eonducted, would bring us the | news some twelve hours earlier than by the way of | Pittsburgh ; but it has totally failed—from what | cause we know not—and yet the foolish experiment is persisted in. Itis denied at the General Post | Office, in Washington, that any order was given for such an arrangement; yet they do not interfere, | and allow the whole matter to go uncorrected. ; | There is a great fault somewhere in this reapect, | and we shall endeavor to find out to whom it | should attach, and who should be responsible. But it seems that Postmaster Collamer dees not know the true line of his duty. If the contractors tor | transporting the mails are at fault, why does he not at once investigate the aflair, and cancel the | contracts, instead of paying men for duty they never perform’? The contracts are so made that the mails are to be taken from one point to another in a specified time, so that the whole arrangement shall be complete, and a striet punctuality in the ar- rivals and departures of the mails observed So far from a strict adhesion to the obligations of the contracts, they are entirely neglected, and the people who pay the expense are obliged to wait until the delinquent contractors see proper to bring the mails. Itis an abuse which needs im- mediate correction, and one which is complained of from every ‘quarter of the Union. To suppose | fora moment that these complaints do not reach | the eye of the Postmaster General, would be ab- surd; and the only sensible conclusion to be arrived | at, is that there 1s a total disregard, on the part of that officer, in the management of his department. | From the time of his installation into office, the | grievances have been growing worse and worse, until now a mail seldom arrives in the proper time. | The whole mail arrangement, as now managed, is a miserable humbug, and deserves the censure of | the whole community. If the Postmaster General is ineompetent to the duties of his office, the Executive should at once | remove him and appoint some one else. The ex- periment might bring about a better state of things, and certainly it could not possibly be worse. | Later rrom Havana.—By the arrival of the bark Childe Harold, Capt.

It is said thet more money has been spent en the getting up of this piece than has ever before been expended on any one piece, even at the Bowery, where the liberality ot the mana- ger in such things is so well known New scenery, costumes, properties, &e , all will be combined to give due effect to the drama, which is in itself of most sur- ing interest, Mr and Mrs. J.Wallack, Jr., Mr. Les- Bor, Mite © Wemyss, Mr Gilbert, MacFarland, Winans , | &o., take the principal parts; and thus we may be sure the piece will be acted in a rtyle commensurate with the scenic splendor with which it will be put on the stage The various tublesux, processions. combats, and other dramatic arrangements, will be wader the direc- tion of Mr Stevens, the excellent stage manager of the house. “Warwick”? is in four parts, or acts, and the its scenery indicates that it will We have no doubt the bouse will be crowded to overflowing, as such @ magnificent at- traction has seldom, if ever, been offered to the public at any theatre. Broapwar Turarae —This ing, Mr. Hudson ap- Dears as Captain O'Neil, in Mr. Charles Gore's drama of “ King O’Neil.” The part of General Count Dillon will be personated by Mr, Dyott, one of the bast stock actors in the country; and the character of the Mar- { chioness of Clermont will be sustained by the pretty actress. Miss Kate Horn. This piece will be succeeded by the farce of the“ Irish Secretary,” ig which Mr Hudson will appear as tay Fitzgerald The amuse- mente will conclude with the afterpiece of “Slasher and Crasher? The last week has been rather a pro- fitable one for the management, and will continue to be #0 a8 long as good pieces and talented actors are pro- duced for the amusement of the patrons of the Broad- way. Ninio’s Ganpew,—This evening, the talented dan- seuse, Mile. Josephine Bertin, appears in the grand bal- let of “ Urielle.” The success of this artist last week, in this beautiful and splendid ballet, was most fortu- pate, the house having been erowded in every depart- ment. The command she has over the difficulties of her art—the ease and delicacy with which she performs the most intrieate evolutions, give her LB ncn pind which may be said to constitute a style of her own. ‘The ballet department has been kept up in its usual condition of magnificence, and M. Brillant, the ire of the company. ought to be highly lauded for his great professional ability; his vigor and energy show that he Bes all the material for an excellent artist, The art of decoration has been earried to a great degree of per- fection in “Le Diable Amoureux”’ We need not al- lude to the concluding scene ot the ballet—the inferval regions—which sewma to have great effect upon the whole andience. Decidedly “ Urielle” is. and will be, one of the most successful works of the kind ever pro- duced at Niblo’s Gardem, and the dances introduced in it are executed with great perfection and éclat by the two accom plished dancers we have named, and by their astociates of the Ravel and Lehman families, All New York will go and witness the ballet. Burton's Tuxatnx.—The performances, this evening; commence with s new extravaganza, called “ Kingeraft in 1852, or a Peep into the Future.” The cast contains most of the prominent actors of tho excellent company engaged at thistheatre. This piece will be followed by th Interest farce of “A Day After the Fair,” in which Mr. Holland, an excellent comedian, will figure conspicuously. The whole will conclude with the popular piece of “John Dobbs,” Messrs, Brougham and Burton, the greatest favorites in the city, taking the leading characters. This theatre presents every fea- ture which the play going folks can desire, in the nature ofa light and elegantly diversified amusement. Scareely 2 day passes over but some novelty is introduced. and = arises the great success of the Chambers Street re.
