We gave yesterday, exclusively, a summary of the highly important intelligence, both political and commercial, by the Caledonia, from all parts of Europe. Additional accounts will be found elsewhere in this day’s sheet. Our latest intelligence from Paris, announces that the Freneh government have received Mr. Rives, our new Minister. It seems, however, that Louis Napoleon, in his remarks to Mr. R., put in a word or two in relation to the difficulties be- tween the two republics, and said, that had our minister come from a monarchical instead of a republican country, he would not have received him. The republic ef France has got over the excite- ment caused by the change of ministry, very emoothly—much better, indeed, than was to be expectec. It 18 a further evidence of stability im the present system of government ; and if order | and subordination can be maintained in Paris through the term of Louis Napoleon and the next Presidential election, the republic of France 1s | established beyond all fears of a restoration of | monarchy in any shape. Europe will soon follow in the same wake. The Pepe 18 at last about to return to Rome.— | He has been an exceedingly long while getting | ready ; and, after all his preparations, the prospects | of his. reception and his re-establishment in | authority over the temporal affairs of Rome, are as dubious es ever. Whats to be the result of his | return, can only be known when he has made the | experiment. It is a very uncertain, if not a very | hezardous, proceeding. It may be Rome, revolu- | tien, ruin. | The best news to us—especially to the cotton | plunters—is the continued advance in the price of | cotton. The intelligence is equal to the arrival of | ten millions in gold dust from California. The Russian bear has been growling at the Bri- tish lion, tor putting his paw on the precious morsel of Turkey; but, although the Sultan still continues his warlike preparations, as if suspicious of the | | antentions of the Czar, it is probable that the Turk- | ash question 1s settled, and that Europe will have an interval of several years of peace, stock-jobbing, and speculations of every kind. In this interval, we doubt not the emigration to the United States, from the Continent, will be largely increased ; for the explosion must come, and prudent men will seek to escape before the storm descends. In any point of view, whatever may be the state of the affairs of Europe, we are justin that posi- tion in which, whoever may lose, we shall be the gainers. The whole of the news will be found in the co- pious and interesting details which we publieh i our paper to-day. General Taylor and His Cabinet—Light Breaking into the White House, General Taylor and hts cabinet will each occupy their proper position and receive their just estima- tion under a due course of calm thinking and in- tellectual vegetation. We have always insisted upon that result, and we think we now see light beginning to break in upon the White House in Washington, like the first dawa of day.

The correspondent whose letters are thus so bitterly censured by the Repub- lic, is a Mr. Harvey, the confidential friend and protegé of Mr. Clayton, an an employée of the North Amerrcan of Philadelphia, and the Courter and En- quirer of this city. He has been the channel through which the secrets of the cabinet have found their way, during the last few months, into the columns of the two journals we have mentioned, the one in Chesnut street and the other in Wall street. The panic growing out of the dismissal of M. Poussia, was got up through the same inetrumeatality and by the same journals. But the truth is now be- ginning to ooze-out. According to the Republic, the object of all these revelations was to speculate in the stocks, either in Chesnut street or in Wall street. In corroboration of these intimations, we leara the fact, that previous to the publication of the ar- ficles concerning the Poussin affair m the North American, large orders were received from Phila- de}plia by certain brokers in Wall street, for ope- rations in the stock market. Mr. Clayton and his associates out of the cabinet could not be :gnorant of the consequences attending the system of letter- writing which they had organized in Washington for certain journals. They have, therefore, been particeps crimints in these attempts to get up a war panic, and to create fluctuations in the stock mar- ket, by using important secrets of the goverament, or in exaggerating or extenuating real facts. ‘The special triends of Gen. Taylor, who are without doubt counsellors of the Washington Republic, are slowly discovering the miserable, bungling, Impertinent system of Mr. Clayton and his clique, in directing the aflairs of the government, and of their duplicity in making them subservient to their private interests in stocks, or m newspapers to which they make loans of money. In further corroboration of these significant reve” lations in the Republic, we need only refer to the pregnant correspondence which was lately given to the world through our columns,verbatim et literatin, notwithstanding what Mr. G.W. Brega himself, un- der the influence of Mr.Clayton, may have published in contradiction. By that correspondence it was seen that Brega was employed to operate upon the New York Herald, in the same manner that Harvey was, and still is, employed by the same charlatan states- men, in the columns of the North American, in Ph: adelphia, and the Courier and Enquirer in this city. We were informed, privately, two or three months ago, that a quarrel with France was under way, before the rupture openly took place, and were fur- ther advised to come out, in a savage way, and write against France, and so prepare the public mind for the rupture and the pamic in the stock market. Not caring to be the agent of a stock- jobbing cabinet or a stock-jobbing clique, and knowing perfectly well that a cabinet engaged in these private intimations, and went on in our own in- dependent course, censuring wherever we thought censure was deserved, and praising wherever we thought (but thet was small) they were entitled to any praise. Our view of the matter now receives “confirmation strong as proofs from holy writ,” from the Washington Republic itself, in the article which we now publish; and this ought to satisfy the public mind that General Taylor and his friends in the White House are beginning to see the dawn, and to get an inkling of the imbecility, folly, fuss and incapacity of Clayton and his clique, as cabinet counsellors. We shall add more corroborative evidence to | these views, and assist the Washington Republic in correcting the blundermgs of Mr. Clayton, by pondence, the accuracy of which will be testified to by the affidavits of the most respectable men. T! will settle Mr. Clayton and his coterie in the posi- tion which they ought properly to occupy. But more—as soon as Congress meets, we mean to pre- including the whole Brega correspondence—(the original letters themselves)—asking that body for on the conduct of the cabinet; and, if the facts warrant it, we shall also ask the same committee to report resolutions of impeachment against John M. Clayton and others, for their attempts to compro- | muse the dignity of the government, and to corrupt the newspaper press. This business is only be- ginning. Meantime, we are glad te find the Republic coming to its senses. It published the card of Brega, but did not compromise itself with his silly statement, by which he endeavored to re- pudiate letters written by hisown hand. We hope the Republic will yet do us justice. We were the firet of the journals in this country to put forward the name of Gen. Taylor for the post which he now occupies. We stuck to him through good and evil report, in opposition to many who have been clemorous for the spoils, and who have got them. We shall also be the last to desert that | good and brave old patriot who now fills the White | House. He will, yet come out mght side up, we are sure. The light is beginning to break in upon him, and this article in the Republic, reproving Mr. Clayton and his letter-writing system, is the first indication of good sense which we have seen pro- ceeding from the White House for some time. En avant for the investigation and impeachment Derartvre or Gen. Cass.—This distingwished statesman leaves the city this morning, on his way to Washington. He has been tavited to a public dinner, which he has declined, as he likes a pri- vate dinner better, and does not care to be trotting round to see the sights. He goes quietly onto Washingten, to attend to his public duties. There is every reason to fear that the California ques- tuon, including the Wilmot proviso, will create a more dangerous ggitation in Congress, and shake the Union more seriously, than did the Missouri ion thirty years ago. It is known that Gen. Cees will do all in his power to promote a peace- able eettlement of this vexed and eternal question | of slavery ; and as it is only by a compromise that too much importance cannot be placed on the con- ciliatory efforte of Cass, Clay, and others, at the coming session of Congress. The platform of the Nicholson letter is, in the opinion of Gen. Cass, the true basis of a pacific arrangement. At all events, in one form or other, the time has come when the subject must be met face to face, and set- compromise.

A great sensation was created in our literary cir, cles, a few days ago, by the publication of a most singular and alarming correspondence in the New York Tyibwne, and republished in the Mirror, and other journals, as follows :— ’ A SCOUNDREL BRANDED. To the Editors of the Tribune : NICKERBOCKER Sanctum, Noy. 17, 1849. Gentkemen—I send you an extract from # letter re- eeived by me from Mr. Charles Dickens, by the last glish steamer. It strikes me as but just to Mr. Dick- ens, as as to our community, that the facts which itsets forth should be mad ic. The volume of this Mr. Powell, to which The Tribune has assisted to give the unenviable notoriety, and which it would have se- cured for itself, had it been as w: read as your jour- nal, is no doubt as authentic in respect of other writers mentioned im its pages, as tt is in relation to Mr. Dickens.

GAYLORD CLARK. + © © But I have another piece of news for you. 1 am going to give you a serious caution respecting a nan who has been, and who possibly may yet be, in New York, and who | think very likely to have fallen in your way. I learn from # brother of mine that one of your newspapers, (I think it is called the New Fork Evening Post.) bas been puting a Mr. Thomas Powell, ap Fnglich literary gentleman, aud publishing a life of me by that eminent individual, purporting to bea part of some fortheoming book, which is, from beginning to endsone intact and complete liv, I think Mr, Powell & very likely mam indeed, to form a resdy connection with the American press. He is @ forger and a thief. He was managing clerk to an eminent merchant's house in the city of London, and during a series of years forged and altered checks until he had defrauded’ them to the extent of thou- sands upon thourands of pounds, His robberies being discovered one day, he took up his hat, went to a chemist’s, bought rome laudanum, walked off to a warm bath, and was found ia it insensible. 1 don’t know whether he took laudanum enongh to kill bim- eelf, but I should say he was careful vo keep on the safe side. He was recovered and forgiven by the gen- tleman whom he had robbed —dismiased, of course, bat not prosecuwd. Tbey were leader of his wife and family. After some months’ endurance of the misery and shame of his position, he was taken up at Croydon (ten miles from London,) for passing sereral forged +8] io that neighborhood; w ted to the magistrate to be mad, and was ac- tually confined for some time in & luvatic asylua, that the prosecutions ageinst bim might not goon.

A few years ago, Mr. Thomas Powell was a confidential clerk in a commercie! house’ ia Lon- don. Having a penchant for literary subjects, be sought the society of literary men, and was par- ticularly happy in making the acquaintance of Dickens and his set, and other literary cliques ; just as our amateurs plume themselves on getting into the Puffer Hopkins and balderdash cliques of this metropolis. About this time, the railway spe- culations commenced in England. Mr. Powell's employer thought that money was to be made in that line, and finding his clerk possessed of tect and capecity for the business, made him his confidential agent in the buying and selling of stocks, giving him the use of his name, in signing draits, checks, acceptances, ete. For a short umes everything went on swimmingly. Hudson, the railway king, and all his agents, rolled in wealth. The California gold mines were mere moonshine, compared with the golden profits of their splendid operations. The fever was contagious, like the California, and everybody that had a few thou- sands, or a few shillings, to spare, invested the amount in railway shares. Mr. Dickens was seized with the fever. He wished to make money a little faster than by the drudgery of writing novels at a stated salary. He wished to flourish at the West End, and to roll in his carriage among the swells ot Piccadilly and Hyde Park. Powell was the very man; and through hisadvice, Mr. Dickens put infor his share of the railway profits. But the thing turned out anothet South Sea bubble—it ex. ploded, and in the revulsion evaporated like mist in the morning air. Ruin and bankruptey followed close behind. ‘The speculators turned upon each other, like snarling dogs; criminations and re- criminations, and the most outrageous confessions, succeeded—just as we have often seen in Wall street, or in the late explosion of the State Bank of Morris. Norton accuses ‘Thompson of being a rogue, and Thompson accuses Norton of being exactly the same thing, while the public have their suspicions that they are both telling the truth. With the railway explosion, all hands were did- dled, Powell's employers were tncked, Dickens was cheated, and Powell was ruined—the railroad king and his satellites, the speculators and the sub- scribers, fell together in the crash, like Nicholas Biddle, Watson Webb, the banks, and theirvictims, in 1837. Powell escaped to this couatry, and tor a livelihood, commenced writing the book entitled “The Living Authors of England,” of which the Appletons are the publishers. These sketches are small gossip, which don’t amount to much; but they appearto have hit the sensitive feelings of Dickens, | who, since his brilliant reception by our codfish aristocracy, and the honors of the “ Boz ball,” has become exceedingly consequential and exclustve. He writes to Mr. Clarke, (a literary man, with a good deal of extra superfine common sense,) his complaints and charges against Mr. Powell. Mr. Clarke, of course, could not keep a letter from Dickens from the knowledge of the world, and so he forthwith publishes it, with a flourish of tram- pets and kettle drums, in the Zribwne. The Mirror | and some other papers, with as little remorse or | delicacy, take up the echo of “a scoundrel branded,” and republieh the correspondence with- out qualification or apology. Powell was thunder- struck, cut up, knocked down, trampled upon. No one could suppose that philosopher Greeley would aman a scoundrel” unless the fact were s0. But Powell soon recovered from the shock; and now comes the reaction. Civil and criminal suits are to be instituted against the offending partiee—Gaylord Clarke, Horace Greeley, Hiram Fuller, the Naval Storekeeper, and all others concerned ia the publication with a mali- cious intent. The trial will require the proofs, the facts, the tangible legal evidence, to support the accusations of Mr. Dicker His mere unsupported declarations will simply amount to a libel. What then, follows, if Powell conviets these parties of this offence? We tremble to mention it. The philosopher, Greeley, the financier, McElrath, Mr. Clarke, the literary man—the American Dickens— and Hirem Fuller, the Naval Storekeeper, may all possibly beeome the boon companions of Ned Buntline before the next summer is over. The muses, the Fourieriter, and the Naval Store- keeper, will have to go to Blackwell's Island, and probably work in the shoe shop at that place. ‘What « galaxy of stars will be there! We shall look with moet intense anxiety to the conela- sion of this aflair. Meantyme, let the ten governors make 4ll neeaful preparations for the proper recep- tion of theee distingwished guests on Blackwell's Island, if need be. Lverybody will now want to read Vowell’s book. Appletons ate the publishers. Go and buy it. 1 Intetligence. brig, rey. Lent Co to Hampton Roads on ‘2 A. Foote, the 224 iost.
