Sevarday, ber 27, 1849, Arrival of the America at Hallfax—One Week Later from Europe. ‘We received und published im yesterday’s paper, a synopsis of one week's luer intelligeace from the old world, received at Halifax by the steam- ship America, and telegraphed thence to this city, The steamship will, no doubt, arrive at this port during the afternoon, and to-morrow we shall lay before our readers the news in fall. There are several features of importance and in- terest connected with the intelligence. The first of these is, the rupture between Louis Napoleon and his cabinet, the dissolution of that body, and the complete scottering of its elements. We are not precisely informed as to what was the cause of the rupture, but we infer that it was the policy which Louis Napoleon had determined to adopt, in reference to the Roman question. Be this as it may, the rupture has taken place; and Louis Nayo- Jeon has intimated bis intention of having around | him no cabmet ministers but sueh as agree with | him, in the policy with which the goverament should be conducted. This is certainly more than we were prepared to hear, and it shows, that either Louis Napeleon’s character has been misunder- stood, or, that seei_gthe impolicy and unpopularity ef hisacts since he was elected President, he is | determined to turn over a new leaf, and administer the government in his own way, risking the chances of success or failure, and trusting to the French pation for reward or punishment, according to the view which they may take of his policy. certaioly, an independent and manly stroke; Louis Napeleon continue in it, we shall be in- clined to think more favorably ef him. If there be no revolution in France before the next presiden- tial election comes around, and if that election be conducted in the peaceable and orderly manuer which characterized the firet under the new con- | stitution, the republic will be safe, and the days of monarchy in Europe be numbered, if they are aot numbered already. It is a singular coingidence, that at the time when the President of one of the great republics of the world is dissolving his eabi- net and forming a new one, there are ramors of similar changes in the cabinet of General Taylor, the Presideut ct the other geat republic, on this side the Atlantic. course the new Minister of Foreiga Affurs in France will take, in the rumpus between Mr. Clay- ton, the American Secretary of State, and M. de Tocqueville, late French Minister of Foreign At- faire. According to all accounta, some angry cor- respondence has parsed between them, on the Powssin affair, which, if there had been no change im the French cabin remain in the posivon which he now holde, might end in an estrangement between the two republics. From Austrie we learn that Haynau, the Aus- trian butches-in-chief, has beea made military and eivi! governor of Hungary, and that the cowardly rulers of that country, not satisfied with the quan- tay of blood that has already been shed, since the | everthrow of the Magyars, are committing fresh atroeities, that exciie disgust throughout Lurope. ‘The despot who rules Austria may consider it good poley to place over Hungery, #s ruler, the bloody Heynav, and to commit fresh murders, by putting out of the way all who assisted or couatenauced the struggle ot the Hungarians for independence , but no better plan could be adopted to produce and that drive reaction, to gallant people eguin to arms. Such policy and the nature of | things will sooner or later produce a re. action, and, when it does come, terrible and awful Blood will flow thea in wolimited quantity, watil the pent-up revenge of the perseeuted shall have been sutisiied to reple- tion. The Pope is in a quandary. He would like to goto Rome, but he i afraid of his beloved sub. jeets, who are ae hostile te bis pereon and ternal government us they ever were. The F ene h soldiery who reduced the Romaa rep be ng assarsinated, and every species of hostility This Roman qnestioa is cer- will be the retribution in a curious position. The holy father would return, but he is afraid of heing asee mated. The French would hke to withdraw theit army, but Louis Napoleon know: four houre after it lefi, the Pope's government would be at an end. Having interfered for the purpose of restoring his Holiness, ihe army canaot be withdrawn, when dorny so would involve Paris in differ ch he fled that in twenty. rto the o from wh: Beither doce Hie Holiness kaow whatto do, He dirlikes the French army remainnng, f can- tinuance is the strongest proof that the Remans edt and even with their are 6 overament protection he is efraid to enter the Eternal City.

Mr. Moyle is likewise entrusted with a memorial to the ministry, on the subject of a re- ciprocal tariff between the United States and Ca- nada, signed by several men of influence in Cana- da, nmong whom are large landed proprietors and agriculturists. ‘The object of the memorial 1s two-fold. The memorialists ask, first, that the Pritish government will endeavor to form a treaty with the United States, by which free trade between Canada and this country will be secured; and in case it be not granted, then that the British government will iun- pore on American wheat and flour as great a duty as Canadian wheat and flour are subjected to on being imported into the United States This is asked @s a matter of justice and equity, because the Canadian farmer is deprived of the ability to send his produce to market, several months in the year, m consequence ef the closing of the Cana- dian seaports, and because, al+o, if he sends his flour and wheat to the New York markets, he is obliged to pay a heavy duty. We do not understand how Mr. Moyle, or the memoriahsts who signed the document which he is entrusted with, to present to the English govern- ment, can hope of succeeding in their views by this courge of action. In the first place, if recipro- city is to be granted to Canada, it will be done by the United States, without consulting England; and tecondly, if Congress should, by vote, decline to grant it, we apprehend that England will not go back inher free trade policy for the purpose of | pleasing the Canadians or protecting their interest, tothe detriment of twenty or thirty millons of people. However, we shall see what the issue of the appheation will be. It is true that the Canadian suffers under great disadvantages; for the fault lies not with the United States. We would not, however, be surprised if Congrees grapted the much coveted reciprocity at | the next session, although we are satisfied that the measure will be opposed by the radical portion of the Canadiane—those who are in favor of an- nexation—because it would tend to retard the con- summation of that measure.

Friday, Nov. 16-6 PM, ‘The stock merket opened quite active this morning, but alosed heavy. At the first board Long Island de- clined }¢ per ornt ; Erie Railroad 1 ; Este Bonds \ ; Penneylvania 5's went up per cent; Reading Rail- road 4. State Stocks were in better demand to day, and the operations in Reading and Farmer's Loan were tosome extent. At the second board, Erie Railroad fell off 4 per cent. It istbe epinion in Wall street, that fancy stocks cannot hold their own much longer. They are held in large “ blocks,” and wre rapidly eating themselves up by the sccumulation of interest. Money is so abun- dant and cheap, that it ia not ro dificult to carry these unproductive stocks as in former years; but the load is too heavy to rest easily upon the shoulders of those who hove undertaken to bear it, Fancy stocks have, within the past six months, become concentrated ia the bands of a few rpeculators fa the street, who have been purcharing for the purpose of creating « searcity, oan to catch the bears in wcorner. Thus far they have not been very rugcessful, and the prospect is not ‘at all flattering. The bears can contioue this game for any length ct time, as interest is ail the time run- ning in their favor, while it ie accumulating against the bulls. There have been some purchasers of Erie Railroad stock lately, for the purpose of getting the dividend due om the lst of January next; but the probability is, that these speculators will get caught in the trap they have set for others. a» the fall in prices, as soon as the books close, will, without doubt, be @ greater per cent than thedividend, Several wagers have been made recently, that the dividend om this stock, due on the 1st of Jenwary, 1850, will be the last that will be paidia cash for years. As for the fancy stocks that bear no interest, we expect one of these days to see such a crash among them, as wen realized in Jane, 1844. ‘They ara evaporating as rapidly as possible, considering the efforts made to sustain them; but in the absenee of fuel, it will be impoveible te keep the steam up. The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port to-day amounted to $75,990 ; payments, $52,- 822; balance, $3 16,169. The news from turope by the steamship America does not, in @ fivancial or commercial point of views amount to much. The cotton and evrn markets were uot im such ® prosperous condition as previously re- ported, either as regards prices or demand. We anti- cipated a slight decline in quotations for cotton, and it is our impression that the next steamer will bring ae- counte of a further depreciation. More favorable ad- vices relative to the growing crop went out ia the steamers of the last two weeks in October, and the ef- fect of those accounts upom the Liverpool market will probably be in favor of purchasers, Tho corn markets were very much depressed, and the prospect of any im- provement in prices was rather gloomy.
