Blancarte is represented as a brare soldier. Eu was appointed to his post by Santa Anns. The United States Commercial Agent bad Gemanied the detention of the Curlew as saiing under American colors, but Blancarte would not receive any communication from him. Blancarte supports the church party. On January 9th he was to sail from |.a Pax for Mazatlan, with wil his troops.

A com- mittee was appointed at the suggestion of Mr. Townsend, to inquire into the expediency of tmeti- tuting o foundling hospital for the care of some two hundred infants that the Governors are now compelled to pul out to purse, and which are not cared for as they would be in a hospital. A com munication was read, which showed that the Board is now compelled to support lunatics that belong properly to the State and not to the city. It was enggested that the Legislature be asked to remedy the wrong. Much routine business was done. The Governors will shortly begin to meet at the institutions instead of in the city. The.corner stone of the Central Park Baptist chareh, Fifty third street, near Eighth avenue, was laid yesterday, with appropriate ceremonies. The peblication of our report of the exercises is un- evcidably postponed. ‘Two inéictments for burglary in the third degree were tried yesterday in the Court of Sessions.

With the ma- terial provisions of these treaties, respectively, ear readers are already familiar, and they are also aware of the fact that all this handiwork of Mr. Forsyth has been “love’s labor Joet,” having suffered an almost ignominious rejection from our new administration. Under ordinary circumstances, such liberal of- fere and securities for a loan of money would be downright folly to refuse. But the difference be- tween a solvent and an insolvent contractor, of a dubious tenure of office, affords at once the re- quired solution of this indifference of Mr. Bu- chanen to the splendid offers ef General Comon- fort. A special tariff act in our favor, like that of Mexico submitted to our acceptance, is not an every day transaction; the postal facilities n- xt propored. comprehend no ordioary adventages in the way of trade; and the freatier international reciproc:\ies which follow, upon the basis of oar Canadian system, prima fucie appear almost, too good to be true. All theee things, however, are proposed in exchange for fifteen millions of dol- lars, in easy instalments, part to be paid back again to satisfy caims of our own citizens against Mexico; and these liberal equi- yalents come at a time, too, when we have some twenty odd millions surplus cash ia our teeasury, of which we know not what disposition to mike to get most readily rid of the encumbrance. But the constitutional question involved in this case, the very critical and questionable situation of the present Mexican government, and the gloomy prospect of Mexican nationality, with the possible overthrow of Gen. Comonfort at any moment, have been, it appears, deemed sufficient by the administration to justify, upon the fire! reading, a peremptory rejection of all these trea ties and all their tempting concessions. There was still an uswritten agreement, or codicil, to this string of Mr. Forsyth’s conven. tions and treaties, of more value to us than al! the rest—a mortgage upon the territories of Mexico. Good for nothing asa “simple under standing between two gentlemen,”’ we trust tha upon this basis of an exchenge of land, a treaty may yet be made with them whicn wil to ber the ready cash required to meet the im mediate necessi of ber government against the pressure of its interaal and foreign enemies Lower California and Sonora, inclading the Guil would to us soon become very profitable acq1 sitions, and they are a dead weight upou M-x0wo. A few millions more or lees of ready money to Gen. Comonfort, in exchange for these Territy ties, would probably, on the other hand, enable him to finish his war against a monopolizing church successfully, to repel the threatened in- vation by a foreign Power, and to bring internal order, peace aud prosperity out of the wors: clemente of chaos, misery end dissolution. But there is yet a broader view to be taken of this eubject. Spain is about to make this threat- ened hostile descent upon Vera Cruz. What may be her ulterior designs from this movement we cannot conjecture. Itis safe, however, to av sume that in this matter our interests lie wita our sympathies for Mexico. Five or ten mil- jous advanced te her at this crisis may euable her notonly to give a warm reception to the Spanish fleet at San Juan d’Ulloa, but to turn the tables upon the enemy in an invasion of the Island of Cuba. To do this, and to do it success- jully, all that would be required of the Mexican government would be the funds necessary to charter a few swift American steamers to serve under the Mexican flag. The force required to man the ships and to make good their descent upon Cuba in the speedy conquest of the island, would he furnished in month in the shape of volunteers (otheewiee filibusters) from the United States. In a Cuban expedition upon this legiti- mate war footing, ten thourand fighting men, ot even a better fighting character than those of Gen. Walker, gould in less than a mouth be mustered at New Orleans, ready for eva. In this suggestive view of the subject, it is to be hoped that Mr. Buchanan will, with all conve- ajent despatch, undertake a mew treaty with Mexico, upon the simple stipulations of an ex change of land for money, either through a new Minister to the Mexican capital, or with the Mexican Minister et Washington. We are assured that Mr. Buchanan is rather desirous than other wite of securing upon liberal terms the cession to us of the Mexican territories indicated; and that his especial ambition is the acquisition of the island of Cuba, It may be possible to kill these two birds with one stone. The only doubt upon the subject remains to be solved in the occupa- tion of Vera Cruz by a Spanish fleet. In that event, in the manner described, Cuba could be transferred to us by Mexico at one-fifth the price propored at Ostend; but in any event, our in- ter eets are identified with our sympathies for Mexico. ecu" Crime ws tue Crry.—Every one remembers the applause which followed the sharp sentences of Judge Ruseell on garotters and other crimi- nals during the firet and second months of his term of office. Some of his associates in politics and popularity are beginning to get restive ua der that public applause. Every now and then we see in some paper a querulous paragraph, impuguing the severe sentences on recent con- victed felons, aud endeavoring to show a discre- pancy between the crimes proved and the punish- ment inflicted. We believe that the prese and the peeple do not partake of this querulous feel- ing, but we should not be surprised to see that such persons as Recorder Smith were the secret prompters of these articles in the obscure journals. We hope that nothing will deter Judge Ruseell from continuing the strictest ad- ministration of the law and the fullest punish ment of crime; for nothing else can keep un- der the rogues and villains of thie great metro- polis Urs avy Downs ov Stocksovpine Journat tsa.—It is estimated that the stockjobbing pro prietors of the daily Twnes newspaper have los «# much by recent operations in Wall street as they made by the sale of the Brick Church, with the dead men’s bones clinging to its foundations, although that operation did not pay so well as anticipated, on account of the heavy douceurs paid to officials to get some kind of a title. This stockjobbing concern bas been particularly unfortunate lately. One of the proprietors, who has been baptized with the name of the “Little Villain” by our amiable cotemporary of the 7Hi- tune, Jost the nomination for Senator; another, who attended to the bribery and corruption busi- ness at Washington, lost hie character and his memory before the Investigating Committee, and his place on the floor of the Honse, from which be was ignominiously kicked. ‘The Commerctal Prospect. Simultaneously with the announcement of the Yeginning of 2 general revulsion in California, with the ususi concomitants in the shape of defalcations and frauds, the commercial ad- singular, indeed, if they were not duil, con- sidering the kind that are sent to England to be negotiated, and the constant efforts that are being made by our railway financiers to raise money in Engtand for their projects at any price. The dulness is inevitable. In ordinary times the fact can be passed over as immeterial. With the ups and downs of stock dealers neither the country nor its great public interests have much concern. Bat at the present time, in the peculiar condition of the ppancial and commercial world, more especially n the critical state of our domestic trade and foreign exchanges, it is impossible to overlook the importance which may attach to a general unpopularity of American securities abroad. It may become 4 disaster of the highest moment to the country. For, one year with another, our account with Evrope—including the thirty odd millions we sent abroad to pay interest on seca- rities already held there—bas neually been balanced by large shipments of bonds and stocks from hence to be sold at any ruinous sacrifice in the money markets of that continent. Let the demand for that commodity cease altogether, and a crisis would be inevitable. 1 is palpable that that demand is on the point ofceasing. Not one-twentieth or one-tiftieth part of the bonds and stocks which, four years ago, used to be sold every year at London, Paris and Hamburg, can now be disposed of at any price in the European markets. Efforts, prodigious and beroic, have been latterly made, and are stil) being made to place American securities in Lon- don, without avy appreciable success, as Mr. Pruyn, the agent of the New York Central Com pany, will soon be ready to eveuch. In a word. not only will the fi sale of new bonds and stocks not help to liquidate our over importa- tions of foreign goods, but it will not begin to pay the interest ou the securities now held abroad, will probably fall short of the amouat neces. sary to pay that interest by a sum not far dif- ferent from one-third the value of our whole cotton export. itis suggested, in certain quarters, that this dire prospect has been produced by the want ot protection in the tariff of 1846, and that it will of course be aggravated by the tariff of 1857. This iserroneous. Tariffs have had very little todo with the consumption of foreign goods in this country. We have repeatedly published statisti- cal tables showing that our consumption of foreiga goods was in direct proportion to the expansion of public and private credit, and very often in direct contravention of the apparent influence of the tariff. It is quite certain thet we should always consume far more foreign goods during a period of great expansion, though under a high tariff, than we should do during a period of con traction with a tariff as low as you please. The exorbitant consumption of fereiga goods in the United States is wholly and altogether due to the vast latitude granted in this country to the credit system. We have on a former occa sion had occasion to estimate the aggregate amount of the expansion—at the present mo ment—at two thousand five hundred million of dollars. This is equal to three times the whole pro duct of Australia and California combined. We skail therefore make more apparent the move- ment of our financial world, if we say that, dur- ing the past few years, not only has the wealtn of Calitornia been added to our stores, bat for every real dollar obtained from ber mines, we have made six sham dollars, paper dollars, which the public at home, and a portion of the public abroad have consented to take as if they were real, The consequence has been an enor- mous apparent increase in the wealth of the country and its people; and a stupendous deve- lopement of industry in the shape of railroad, steamboat and canal building, and an equally stupendous iucreage of expenditure in living. The peril of the country arises purely from thie cause. We have made more paper and ne gotiated it than we can take up. We have built more railroads than we can support." We have spent more money in fine living, in fine houses in rich clothing and eating, in luxuries of va rious kinds, and extravaganee of porvenue than we could afford. And now we are going to pay the penalty. The new tariff will give an impetus to the im portation of certain articles, such as wholesome liquors. But, in the main, new tariff or old tariff, the consumption of the country will de- pend upon its means of paying for articles of consumption. So long as the expansion lasts, we sball consume largely; when the crisis comes, no tariff, however low, will induce us to be large customers of the foreign world. The evil of im- mediate over importations consequent upon a sudden reduction of duties will fall not upon the people of this country but upon the European manufacturers apd producers, whore goods are sure to be slaughtered here. The tariff neither materially increases nor ma terially diminishes the prospect of a revulsio: It must come, and a few cases of brandy or wine or wools more or less will not make much diff rence. The core of the difficulty is that we are in debt—in debt without means of satisfying our creditors, We have twenty-five thousand miles of railway which cost us twelve hundred mil- lions of dollars: that investment will sustain a great loss. Many of these roads will come to the hammer, and it will be well if the first and ge- cond mortgage boud holders save themselves; they are the ouly ones who can. So of the other enterprises in which we have so readily embarked, on the strength of finding people ready to give us good gold for our bad paper; they must go. And so must—without a douht—those foolish people, who, on the strength of the general plethora, and the ease with which they manufac tured money, have lived in a style which even the hereditary nobility of Eagland—with their millions of revenue—do uot excel; in a style which no good man would wish to recommend to a son. PreraninG ror 1860.--The black republicans all over the free States are already preparing their platforms for the great and terrible fight which is eure to come in 1860. Instead of the re- sult of the late contest being a settlement of the question that agitated the country, it scarcely developed it. That was only the first gun of a rectional contest which is now about to plunge us into @ campaign ef four years duration, and although the fight will be between the nigger worshippers and the nigger drivers, North and South, yet, singularly enough, Mr. Bachanan’s administration will escape almost untouched by the fight, | to blow.

Wasnineron, March 17, 1857. ‘The Cabinet bad quite a warm diapuve to day over the vale adopted by Mr. Buobanan to apply the rotation prin. ciple to the North and West ouly. The Northorn mem- bers of the Cabinet insist upon an application of the same rule to the South also, This Mr. Bachanan positively re- fuses. Governor Fitzpatrick recommends the re appoint ment of Mr. Sandford, the Mobile Uoiloctor, and aiso the re-appointment of the present District Attorney, wuom he docs not know, when one of his most intimate and particular friends is an applicant. Changes will be made tm the South only for cause. The New Yorkers held a Tammany meeting last night at Wilard’s, and by vote determined wh» should be the recipients of executive favor.

But the questioa of indemnity for the outrages committed a) Panama is another matter, and belongs to thar clase of international questions where the facts are cleer and the responsibility self-evident. De lay, therefore, in its adjustment becomes a snper cilious trifling with us, and its admission on our part weakens the security of our citizens, and tne respect in which our government should be heid abroad. Neither the Executive nor the Seoretary deny in direct terms, the responsibility of their govera- ment to indemnify for the losses experienced by our citizens in the Panama riot; but, stimulated by the system of special pleading which they have adopted, the press of New Granada do openly deny that» they are responsible. Availing themselves of the ex parte, and, no doubt, in some degree exaggerated repor'’ of Mr. Corwine, both the message and the report of the New Granadian Seeretary enter upon a refutation of the testimony taken by bim, and against some of the facte which he advances they produce very respectable testimon y But notbing which they advance weakens tte evident duty and obligation of New Granada to punish the criminals and indemnify the sufferers. The first of these poimts is tacitly conceded by the Executive in stating that he gave the strict- est orders to preceed against those who might b» guilty; but we have yet to learn that these orders have been acted upon in any way at Panama, or that the first person has been arrested wher» so many were implicated. It is not a suffi cient compliance with international duties to issue orders to punish the violators of the lav those orders must also be carried into executioa. Our government has not to inquire whether this neglect proceeds from weakness or from ao indisporition to do right on the part of that o' New Granada; the fact once ascertained, obligates it to employ all ite energy to defend the rights o our citizens. Much obscurity has been thrown areund these questions with New Granada by the efforts of interested parties to involve the discussion ot other questions which are not at all pertinent. Under cover of the excitement caused by the Panama massacre the Panama Railroad Com pany has not only endeavored to hide its own culpability in neglecting to maintain a police on he road and a plenipotentiary agent at Pana ma, but it has endeavored also to obtain an in- crease of its immunities and privileges through the action of our government. These selfish at empts of a gigantic corporation should be re sisted by the administration, and the attention of the government directed energetically to th defence of the claims of the innocent passengers who suffered by that unfortunate affair. The present Minister has shown a want of skil! in the management ot the question at issue, and awant of courtesy to the government to which he was accredited, which could not be ignored by the weak administration of poor Pieree.
