The mailé will be received here this mornieg, and in this afternoon's editions and in to-morrow’s Herald we shell publish the whole news in detail. General Taylors me ter se By the last arrival from Liverpool, we have re- ceived the interesting intelligence of the reception of General Taylor’s message in Europe, and the | first responses of the European press to that much | looked tor and important document. For the first | time in our recollection, the leading organ of jour- age in Europe=In- | nalism in England, the Times newspaper, is profuse | in its compliments and warm in its commendations of the political views and policy displayed in_the recent message issued from the White House at Warhington. The other less important organs of public opinion seem, according to the telegraphic accounts, to have followed in the same wake, and to be equally as full of commendation and promise as their more important leader and rival . The commendations bestowed upon the Presi- dent’s message, and the policy it puts forth in our foreign relations, may be unusual, as coming from across the Atlantic and applied to this republic ; but looking over the course of the administration of General Taylor during the last ten or eleven months, it was probably natural enough to expect some such encouraging praise and patronizing commendation from the organs of monarchy in Europe. The message itself, written in pure An- glo Saxon, and innocent of all recommendations | that could alarm the powers of Europe, either am referenee to the old world or the new, could have commanded nothing else but the ur- qualified and patronizing reception it has met with. ‘The fact, however, is a novelty in the history of Presidents’ messages. We believe that no mes sage, heretofore emanating from any previous American President, bas received similar unqua- lified praise from the organs of public opinion in England or Europe. The famous messages of General Jackson were torn to pieces by the news- papers of London; and even the tamer papers issu- ing from Mr. Van Buren, received little or no applause from the critics of European journalism. We are not surprised, however, at the love which he London press and the other organs of public opinion in Europe have shown forthe recent mes- sage, and the foreign policy indicated init. The fame reasons which have made the English press praise and patronize the policy of Louis Napoleon, #s chief of the French republic, may be feund at work in this matter, producing the same amouat of patronage and praise towards the policy of the pre- rent cabinet at Wathington. Had the foreign po- lacy of the cabinet at Washington, displayed in the message, been as strongly and as pointedly Ameri- an in character end purposes as the messages of General Jackson, there would have been le praise and less patronage tor the American govern- ment from the English or foreign organs of public opinion. But the policy of our goverament, as now developed, is precisely the same, Mits temporiz- yng expedients and faltering purposes, as that has been which in ince has created the unpopularity now existing in the French republic against their own President. In almost every great and im- portant fereign question, which has demanded either the notice or the action of General Taylor's cabinet, a policy has been selected and adopted, more in sympathy with despots and despotism, with monarchs and monarchy, than with republics or republicanism, on either side of the Atlantic. On the Nicaragua question—in the dispute with Powesin—in the United States steamship affair—in the meditated expedition to revolutionize Caba— am almost all our foreign questions—the present cabinet at Washington invariably has counselled the President to take that line and to favor that side of the question which would give the least offence to monarchs and monarchy, though caleu- lated to compromise, in the deepest and most la- mentable degree, republics and republicanism. Looking, therefore, over the singular and che- quered history of our foreign policy for the last eer, we are not astonished at the eulogiums so Keerally bestowed opon the President and his policy, ae exhibited, for the first time im our hix tory, in the accounts recerved by the recent arrival at Halifax and Boston. Whatever may be wanting among our American journals, in amount of praise mecereary to bolster up the cabinet and the message, we are happy to see this deficiency now amply | supplied from a foreign quarter, end to any amount and quantity, by the journals of Europe, which are | ed to monarchy, and hostile to a republic and racy, the devil is said to be to holy water. Let our cabinet be thankful for the smallest of fa- vors. | ought to hold meetings on this subject, and speak | the matter | chants to know it. men, during the last twenty years, by their ultra fanaticism, have aided aad assisted materially in cing about the state of things which we hare now to deplore in Washington. They are engaged in the Legislature, im the same game; the whigs charge the democrats falsely Southern in their tendencies, the coa- sequence will be that the democrats will avoume, to save themselves in our local elections, the ultra ground, and thus both parties will play anto the lends of the anti-slavery faction, and all will rush together to the same dangerous and final goal. The merchants of Wall street and elsewhere, who have so deep &n interest in a permazent amity and compromise between the North and the South, their sentiments to the ecounting-room press of New York, in such a way as to set them right in if the Courier and Enquirer, patron- wed by merchants and bankers, means to give itself up to the contemptible schemes of such agi- tators as Weed and Seward, it is time for the mer- Tue Corron N CULATION. —The intelligence received yesterday, of another rise in the cotton market in Liverpool, has set the cotton cireles here, and, no deubt, elsewhere, into a state of additienal excitement. The same effervescence wiil take place as the news is transmitted by the | electric wires from New York to New Orleans, For several weeks past, or, perhaps, months, the the most interesting portion of the intelligence | from Europe has been that connected with the cot- | ton market, exhibiting, as it does, a gradual, | progresstve, and exciting rise in the price of that great staple. Such intelligence is probably re- ceived with more pleasure in certain circles of this country, and particularly all over the South, than that of a revolution in Paris, or an insurrection in | Hungary. No doubt the socialists and other abo | litienists in the North, would throw up their cap3 ata fresh breaking out of the masses any where in Europe; but the gradual, and, perhaps, permanent rise in cotton, or other staples of the South, ope rates very much against the prospect of dis union, and disposes the southern mind to be willing for a reasonable compromise, on all dis puted points connected with slavery. It is not an idle idea that the rise in cotton has an effect on politics. Others may suppose the contrary—that the independence of the South would not affect the markets which they now enjoy in Europe, and all the carrying trade consequent thereto, Be this as it may, we cannot close our eyes to the prospect that in the midst of all our contentions, agitations, and excitements connected with the institution of slavery, the great interests of this | country, North and South, East and West, are | very much dependent on that institution indirectly, | through the productions of the Southern States, | transperted to Europe by Northern shipping. Many | of the very men and agitators in the North, who are acquiring notoriety by their wildaess on the anti-slavery question, are benefitted, and actually eat the bread and milk produced by the institution of the South, apphed to agriculture there. Look- Ing at our commercial and agricultural develope- | ments in every point of view, no country at this moment is making such rapid progress in wealth and civilization as the United States. On one side of the world our agricultural productions are rising | in value every day, and on the otker side our new | territories are teeming with golden treasures, dis* tributing their riches to the greatest marts of Eu- rope, and disturbing the balance of gold and silver in the vaults of the national banks of the world. What folly it would be to allow agitators, igno- rant of their own interests, to rush to extremes, and dissolve such a great, mighty, and wonderful republic! Tue Great Orera Emeute.—The deepest ex- | citement exists in certainsmall, very small, circles | | up-town, relative to the progress of the monstrous | | difficulty between Willis, the critic of the lobbies, and Maretzek, the maestro of the orchestra. A | greater interest 1s felt on this point, in certain | quarters, than even in the Nicaragua question, or | the progress of the anti-slavery movement. But it is difficult to ascertain the exact progress of the af- | fair. According to one of the weekly journals, we find that the following exquisite note is the last | | movement in the matter :— | M: : After the manner in which bas been ured, I feel bound to return ticket which you addresved me, and | dollar, the price of my admission for s ino beg you to understand that! take back the ade you yesterday afternoon “Yours, &9, What reply Maretzek made to this note we do not yet know; but we presume it must have been something hike the following: — Very Dean W. : [thank you for the return of the season ticket. for it ean be better appropriated; and ico for the enclosure of the dollar Prompeitude ta all euch ‘bis is much venerated , SNe SERENE oe w or aust , to Seryontaate te; bua ame wae at pa | require for my own rafety and protection. ‘ Yours, &e.
