The Canada makes the following report —Dee. 14, lat. jon, 42, passed American ship Quickstep, bound east ; Dec. 17, lat. 44, passed brig Jessie Millar, bound cast. ‘The British Parliament was opened en the 34 instant by the Queen in person. The speech was very vague. It depiores the commercial crisis and consequent dis- tress in al) circles; recommends the passage by Parliament of a Will of indemnity for the Bank of England ; rejoices over the successes of the British army in India; and commends the earnest attention of Parliament to the afiairs of India; thinks the peace of Europe is unlikely to be disturbed; and promises parliamentary reform. ‘The Chancellor of the Exchequer had introduced a bill of wdemnity to the bank, in the House of Commons, and a Committee of the Whole House had been appointed on the question of the infringement of the Bank Charter act. ‘The Liverpoo) cotton market opened im the early part of the week with an advance of ‘,d.a ‘gd. The market wabsequently became heavy, and closed very dull, with a declining tendency and a loss of the advance, except upon favorite descriptions. Tho Liverpool breadstuffs market, according to the majority of the circulars, closed very dull, but prices ‘were essentially unchanged as compared with the quota- ous per Europa. The Liverpool provision market was inactive: ‘The London money market exhibited po change of mo ment, The demand at the bank and in the discount mar- et was fuill active, Comols for m mney and account closed at 9134 a 9144. ‘The Collins steamship Adriatic, from New York on the afternoon of Monday the 23d ult., arrived off Point Lynaa at 9 o'clock on the evening of the 3d, but owing to the Irwness of the tides did not come into the Mersey unt® ‘Me afternoon of the 4th. ‘The Canada, from Boston, arrived ovt on Sunday, the 22th wit. The North Star left Southampton for New York on Wed- mesday, the 2d inst. The Canada sailed from Halifax at 5 o'clock yesterday morning for Boston, where she will be due this afternoon. ‘Te weather was clear and calm. THE FINANCIAL CRISIS. ‘The follow ing failures are reported — Herman Cox & Co., of London and Liverpool, in the ection trade, with liabilities at £60,000. Bischoff, Been & Co., of London, in the India trade, with Kadilities of £30,000, M. Joel, of Dantzic, liabilities £300,000. Hersch, Moses & Co., of Stettin, liabMities @ million and 9 hal? thalers. B. Hoffman & Co., of Loudon, largely engaged in the Swee tri P. Magee, ship owner, trading as Magee & Corcoran Liverpoo!. And others for less amounts, were announced. The crivis was still more severe at Hamburg, where the failures were too numerous to particularize, Im London, on the 2 inst., money continued in active demand, The stock market was firm, caused by the ar- rival of the West India mail steamer with £500,000 in sil- ver. The suspensions of the day were Mendes, Dacosta & Co. in the London and West India trade, with liabilities amounting to £350,000 sterling; and Keiser & Co. in the ‘German tra de, with liabilifies amounting to £50,090, ‘The semi-monthly shipment of silver to India and China wae £409,000. Ata meeting of the Frie Railroad bondholders, it was resolved that the committee should be requested to re ceive subscriptions to the proposed new loan, and to com- municate with the directors uw New York, with a view toap arrangement for ceneral protection. On the Sd inst., the funds were quiet, while money was im active demand, in preparation for the payments of the 4th. The failures were Mesare. Hoekineon & Burnside, of Tondon, wholesale stationers; Messrs. Barber, Rose- ranger & Co., and Herech, Brother & Co., both in the Ger. man trade, in London ;C. C. Pim, large corn merchant, of Belfast, and Friedcrickson, Clume & Co., corn dealers, at Hartalepool. Their liabilities are not stated, Another large London bouse is reported to haye sought ‘agsictance from the bank. Heavy exports of silver were making to Hamburg. On the 4th inst. the funds fluctuated slightly, but closed firm. There was no change in money, but great caution was observable. A despatch from Italy annonnces the failure of the house of Cellard, at Genoa, Milan and Turin, An order had been promulgated at Berlin enacting a sus- pemion of the usury laws. GREAT BRITAIN. OPENING OF THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT—THE QUEEN'S SPRECH, ETC. Parliament was opened on the 3d Inst. by the Queen in person. The Queen’s speech was as follows:— My Lonns axp Gastiawen—Circumstances have recent- ly arisen connected with the commercial interests which have induced me to call Parliament together before the usual time. The failure of joint stock banks and je firms have produced such an Jed me to authorize ministers to re- of a course of proceeding which appeared neces- sary for allaying the prevalent alarm. As that course bag involved a departure from the exieting law, a bill for imdemmifying those who advieed and those who adopted it will be submitted for your consideration. T bave observed with great regret that the state of com- mercial transactions in general has occasioned a diminu- ion of em] ment in manufacturing districts, which 1 fear cannot fail to be attended with much local distress. T trust, howover, that this evil may not be of long dura tion, and the abundant harvest with whieh it has gra ciously pleased Divine Providence to bless this land will, Thope, in some degree mitigate the suiferings which this ‘wtate of things oust unavoidably produce, ‘While many of my subjects in India have been exposed end while 1 griove for the extensive bereayements and sorrow whiak it has caused, I have derived the yreatest @atisfaction from the distinguished successes which have aattonded the heroic exertions of the comparatively small force which have been 0 to greatly superior num. dere, without the aid of the powerful remforcements des Patched from this country to their assistance. The arri ‘val of thove reinforcements will, I trust, speedily com- plete the suppression of this widely spread revolt. After still furtier eulegizing the gallantry of the troops, the speoch continues: — % is satisfactory to know that the general mass o the popelation India have taken no part in the rebellion while the most considerable of the native Princes have acted iv the mert friendly manner, and have rendered it gerviens. I have given directions that the papers relating to these matters shall be laid before you. The aflairs of my Fast India dominion will require your services and consideration, and I recommend diem (0 your earnest attention The nations of Rurope are in the enjoyment of the Diessings of peace, which nothing seems likely to disturb The stipulations of the treaty which I coucladed with the Shah of Persia have been faithfully cart into exe. cation, and the Persian forces have evacuated the terri- tory of Herat. ‘our attention will be called to the laws which regulate the representation of the people in Parliament, with @ view to consider what amendments may be safely and beneficially made therein. ‘The remainder of the speech is merely of local interest. Lord Portas moved and Lord Carew seaonded the ad @rees in response to the Queen's speech, and after conel- dorable debate, in which Lord Derby complained of the W MORNING EDITION—SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1857. ‘ungatisfactory natere of the speech and deplored the con- dition of the country, the address was agroed to. In the Bouse of Lords Baron Macauley took his seat as a peer. In the House of Commons Lord Jon Russmut gave no- tice that on the 10th he should move for a committee of the whole House to consider the oaths of abjuration and the civil disabilities of Jews. Mr. Heapiam gave notice that he should moye a reaola- tion condemnatory of the principle of unlimited liability in the case of joint stock banks. ‘The address was agreed to after some debate, in Which Mr. Diskaxu censured generally the action of the govern- ment. Lord PALMERstoy stated that he did not intend to bring in any bill on India till after the recess, and announced his intention of asking the House to make provision for Gen. Havelock, as the East India Company would do the same for Gen, Wilson, In the House of Tords om the 4th inst., Lord @ruexno- RovGH gave notice that he would move for a copy of the Indian Arms’ act, and information in regard to licensing the press. In the House of Commons Lord Parmsrsron stated that the terms asked by Austria for the use of her projected line in telegraphing to India, were such as the government eould not accept, and that the negotiations, therefore, fell through. Tt was said that the Turkish government were anxious to lay a line from Constantinople to the head of the Per- sian Gulf. Mr. Mies called attention to the imprisonment of two British engineers at Naples, and asked what government had done in the matter. Lord Paiwexsron replied that the British Consul had deen adinitted to the prisoners, and found their only com- plaint} was want of books. There was no cause of com- plaint against the Neapolitan government. ‘The CHANCRLLOR oF THE Excrequer moved for a Commit- tee of the Whole House to consider the Bank Act, and asked leave to bring in @ bill to indemnify the bank for the recent over issue. He explained the necessity for the action the Ministers took, and suggested that it migat be advisable amongst other reforms, to.make bank notes a legal tender throughout the kingdom. After some opposition from Messrs. GLansTonr and Dis- Ravi the motion was agreed to and the bill read the first time. ‘The Leviathian steamship had been moved still further down the launching ways, but the ship had still 107 feet to move before she,would be afloat. Her progress was very tedious, but her engineers had perfect control of her, and hopes were entertained for a successful result in a short time. A scaffolding from which to view the launch broke down, and a number of persons were more or less injured. On Monday the vessel had nearly five foet of water under her. The launch of the leviathan was ex- pected to be completed on the Sth or 9h of December. In the Bankruptcy Court it has been decided that the Great Northern Railroad Company had no claim on Red- path’s estate. FRANCE. The news js un’ important. M. Henon, the republican deputy from Lyons, took the oath in the Corps Legislatif; and Messrs. Carnot and Goadschaux were the only members who refused to take it, and their seats had been declared vacant. It is said there is to be a new enactment enforcing the oath to the Emperor, as 2 preliminary to becoming a candidate at the elections. SPAIN. ‘The Queen of Spain had been delivered of a —~. ‘The Spanish Court refuses to accede to the demand of Mexico, that its Envoy shall be received as a necessary preliminasy to the iation. ‘The accounts from Cuba, received at Madrid, state that the squadron assembled there was ready to sai ment’s notice, to act againet Mexico or elsewhere. seasoned to the climate bad alone been selected for the service, The artillery had been largely increased, and one thousand marines were on board the squadron. PRUSSIA. The Usury laws were suspended for a period of three months, and the Bank of Prussia was making advances on stocks and shares at the rate of eight per cent. ‘There was very lithe panic at Berlin. AUSTRIA. The accounts from Vienna continue gloomy. Tt was rey that several large manufacturers in- tended to close their estabrishments and discharge their workmen in a few days, SWEDEN. There had been numerous additional failures at Stock- holm, and the commercial crisis there creates great anxie- ty at Copenhagen. ‘The government had lent 5,000,000 francs to the direct- ors of the bank, to sustain its credit. ‘A despatch from Stockholm, dated the 3d, says:— The crisis is becoming alarming.” RUSSIA. Heavy frosts had taken place, and the river was quite frozen up at Archangel. GREECE. The Ministerial crisis was over. Cabinet had retired. pata THE VERY LATEST NEWS. [BY TRLFGRAPH TO LIVERPOOL, | Panis, Dec, 4—Evening. The journal La /’resse has doen suspended for two months in consequence of the article which appeared tn it yesterday, signed by M. Peyrat on the refusal of Mes- sieurs Carnot and Goudchonx to take the oath prescribed to members of the corps legislatif. Haxenvne, Dec. 4, 1857. ‘The Senate has just convened another extraordinary convocation of burghers-chofl for to morrow, to empower the former to establish a government discount institution with thirty millions marks banco capital. Lawnon, Dec. 4—Hvening. [From the Times City Article.} The demand at the bank and in the discount market continues active, but payments maturing to-day have been provided for in a much more satiefactory manner than bad been anticipated. The funds opened steadily this morn- ing at an advance of one-eighth. There was subsequent ly some heaviness, but a decided recovery took place be- fore the termination of business. A good effect was pro- duced by the arrival of the Adriatic, with £80,000 in spe. cie, and satisfactory commercial intelligence from New York. The amount of gold taken to the bank to-day was £29,000. [From the Daily News Oity Article.) The funds improved one-eighth to-day at the Bank of England. To-day the demand for monoy was to a fair ex- tent, but not pressing. In exceptional cases first class bills are discounted somewhat below the bank rate. The suspension has been announced of F. & B. Bovet, ‘an old firm in the China trade, with moderate liabilities. ‘Their difficulties are understood to have been principally caused by the late heavy fall in the silk market The stoppage bas also taken place of C. A. Jonas & Co., general merchants, who have been brought down by the recent failures in the north of Europe. Liabilities sup- pased to be about £100,000, Several faitures are announced at Amsterdam and Rot- terdam. They are respoctablo second rate houses. In foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon rates were in many instances almost nominal, from the absence of business. Private advices from Paris describe a calm and satisfac: tory state of the money market, and no mention that there je even an expectation of a further reduction in the rate of dicount. Tt is ostimated that about fifteen per cont of the wool brought forward at the late London gales was withdrawn, and bought in the produce markets during the past woek. ‘The Times City Article says —The improvement at the commencement of the weck bas not beer maintained. There seems, however, to be less anxiety on the part of holders to realize at the present low quotations. ‘The tea market is so depreseed as to make it almost im- possible to effect sales. Great depression continued to be experienced im Ham- burg and Alton, Despatches say that the failures were too numerous to specify the names. In one day twenty important houses failed, amd business was suspended, 1 was helieved that other houses would go, ‘The aggregate liabilities of the fallen and doomed concerns were report ed to be twenty-seven millions marks banco. The fifteen millions provided for advances on merchandise proved a mere drop in the bucket, and a rumor was in circulation that advances to the extent of 400,000,000 had been asked for. A general meeting of the burghers of Hamburg had eon convoked to devise means to allay the panic. Bills could not be negotiated, and business was at a stand. A Jaw extending a respite of one month to all bills payable at maturity was to be introduced fn the Senate. Ullberg & Keemer, whose temporary suspension was recently reported, had fully atopped.

Wo have stated that this collection is one of unusual merit, and it is but right that we should justify this opi- nion by a more specific description of it (han wa were on- adled to give in our first notice, It will be found, before we have done, that we have in no degree exaggerated ite character and value, We proceed in the order of the catalogue: — No, 1. “The Arab and his Horse.” Alfred De Dreux.-~ Apaisting in the school of Vernet. The head of the ani- mal ia quite a study, and presenta what phrenologiate would consider physical evidence of the superior sagacity claimed for the herse of the desert. 3, “The Hunt,” by the same artist.—This small pictare is ono cf the most spirited in the gallery. It is exquisitely drawn, and conveys all the animation and fire of the chase. 6. “Landscape.” Theodore Rousseau.—This paysage in the Landes (France) conveys an effect po- culiar to) fat, marshy countries at tho close of day, and which strikes one as imdescribably drea- ry and dejolate. The feeling excited in the specta- tor is a procf of the success with which the artist has suc- ceeded in trmsferring the effect to his canvass. 6. “The Biby’s Bath.” Berange.—A delicious little lablcau de genie, full.of sentiment and grace. 10, “The Mertuae Teller.” Leopeld Robert.—Italian in subject and style. Like most of this artist’s plotureg, ip pleases by the richness and purity of its tove and its soft dreamy character. 14. “Early Morning on the French Coast."’ Troyon,—A painting of wonderful truthfulness. The morning haze is rendered with a fidelity equal to the effects of Cuyp. We like this picture better than any of theother pieces by the same artist in this gallery or in the French collection. 16, “The Lady's Toilet.” Trayer.—A bewatiful htile picture, painted evidently wighout effort, but happy both in the abandon of the idea and of its execution. 18. “The Curate.’ Meissonier.—This picture is not equal in merit to the ‘Chess Players” by the same hand in the French collection. It is nevertheless a good speci- wen of the style of this inimitable artist. 19. “ Farly Moraing—Gathering for the Hunt.’ Rosa Bonheur.—This is one of the finest pictures in the collee- tion, ond superior even to the “Horse Fair” by the same artist, now exbibting at Williams & Stevens’. Putting aside the merit of the animals, which no one will be dis- posed to contest, the landscape itself is admirable for sts purely natural ami striking effects. Mademoiselle Rosa is to our mind notonly @ great animal painter, but one of the best delineatars of landscape living. “Cafe and Billard Room.’’ Chavet.—This is an ex traordinary litle picture, presenting on a surface of about twenty square inches the moving incidents of a crowded café estaminet on the Paris Boulevards, with its bustle, its animation, ite picturesque yroups and its curious variety of costume. Like the pictures af Meissonier, it is marvelously accurate in the ywinntest details—even to the shades of expression on the human countenance. 26. ‘The Good Sister.” Merle—A picture full of sweet sentiment, broadly and naturally painted, and without a touch of the affoctation which but too often dis figures the treatment of subjects of this character by the artists of the modern French school 26. ‘The Surprise.” RK. Fleury.—Tbis artist has a great reputation ag a colorist; and the work before us is, we presmine, considered a guecessful specimen of his style. All that can be said of it is that it is rich in tone. The flesh tints are, however, too strong to please ws. 28, ‘Christus Protector.” Paul Delarock small cabinet specimen of the great French master will disap point mest people. It is little better than a siceteh, but still not unworthy of his genius. 31. “Colonel Lamoreiére of the Guards leading the as sau)t on Constantine.” Horace Vernet.-Th.s picture, though merely s cabinet one, is a good specimen of this artist's later style, It gives a correct idea of the wonder ful spirit and acearacy with which he renders all the foci dents of a combat, as well as the tlerce and varied emo: tions which agitate the soldior’s breast. As in tnost of Lis battle pieces, the principal figure is a faithful likeness. 33. “Alpine Scene, near Meysingen.”” A. Calame.——-We have never seen the effects of mountain atmosphere and scenery better rendered than in this charming landscape. 40. “Wintor”’—A pastelle. Brochart.—There are fo" exquisite pastelics by this artist in the collection. © Winter’? pleases us the most from the skil! with which it is treated and the astoushing effect of the satin tissues as brought out by chalk 1.“ The Duke of Alva swearing Vargas into office as President of the Tribunal of Blood.” Gailait of Brussels, — This is the best historical picture in the cotlection. The faces are complete studies in themselves, and tell the cha racters of the chief actors in the scene as plainly as if their thoughts were laid bare to the spectator. Io rich ness of coloring and general treatment it resembles some of the earlier pictures of the Ttalian seboo! 42. “Margaret leaving Chorch ’’ from Goethe's Paust.”” Hi, Leys, of Antwerp.—This work fully justities the fame ac. quired by this young artist and the pride taken by bis countrymen in his merits. Had Goethe been still alive he would have been transported with ecstacy at the quaint lidelity with which bis creations have been rendered in Gis noble picture. It was M. Leys, It will be remember ed, who received such « splendid ovation from his fellow townsmen of Antwerp on the occasion of his bearing away the gold medal at the Paris exhibition, a couple of years since. 43. “Marino Faliero exasperated at the verdict against Steno, and denouncing the Senate.”” De Keyser. hears in this painting are extremely fine, but there is too great a prodigality of color in the general treatmont of the picture. It lacks the eitaplicity and elevation which should tment of such a eubjeet Verboockhoven.—(ne of the finest cattle pieces in the collection. 61. “Paying Toll.” A. Dillens.—A painting dascriptive of the custome of Zealand, whero,the young peasant girl» are obliged to pay toil to their beaux in crossing the small bridges with which the country abounds.

A PROPOSED CHEAP FERRY TO BROOKLYN—THE CENTRAL PARK APPROPRIATION RESCINDED—THE BOAKD MER (N CONVENTION BY A DEMOCRATIC COUP D'ETAT, AND NOMINATE TIE MAYOR AS CHAIRMAN-—THE NEW POLICE CLERKS AKE THEN APPOINTED. The Board met last evening—John Clancy, Bsq. , Presi- dent, in the chair, The following reports were adopted. Of the Committee on Fire Department, in favor of appropriating the sum of $250 to procure a new running gear for Company No, 14; of special committee, to examine plans and specifications of Mr, Field for Tompkins market. A PROPOSED YEW VERRY TO BROOKLYN "OR ONF CENT. ‘The Committee ou Ferries reported iu favor of directing the Comptroller to advertise to lease at public auc- tion a slip between Piers 25 and 26 Mast river, with the right to run a ferry therefrom (o Fulton street, Brooklyn, at eome slip adjacent thereto, for a term of ten years, from Ist of May, 1869. They report also that the public who travel to and from Erookiyn are compelled to wait at said ferry from thirty to forty minutes, before they can obtain conveyance across to said city, The com- mittee are fully satistled that the establishment of a ferry in the vicinity that the resolution calls for, would be a great public convenience; and that parties aro ready and ‘willing to take the proposed ferry, and run boats every few minutes, at the rate of one cent ferriage for foot pas- sengers. The committee also state that so great is the desire of the Brooklyn public for the establishment of this ferry, that the property owners in the vicinity of Fulton street have agreed to furnish a water front for the accommodation of said proposed ferry. Alderman Trcker hoped it might lay over, as most of the members were not acquainted witn the merits of the case, Aiderinan Steves said that the Union Ferry Company bad treated the committee of this Board with very great disrespect: the inhabitants of Brooklyn were quite dissa- lisfled with the accommodation given them by thegeom. pany. The old ferry had three boats on the Gouverneur street ferry, but ginée it came into the hands of the Union Ferry Company they bad but one boat. ‘The report was laid ever until Monday, THE CENTRAL PARK APPROPRIATIN RESCINDED. ‘The report of the Special Committee on the Central Park, was received, censuring one of the Commissioners, (Mr. Hogy,) for using his position to influence employrs to vote the republican ticket, and refusing to employ persons who yoted the democratic nominations. The report conciudes— hoping and believing by the testimony, that the Commis- sioners have done the best thoy contd for the publie in- terest, and that they intend to forward the work as recom: mended, as rapidly as possible, and to to the work to the best advantage. (fhe c ommittee therefore report that at present there is no occasion to rescind the ordinance creating the Central Park appropriation. Alderman McSrepoy moved that the report be accepted. Carried. He then moved that the resolution be rejected. The Chair decided that the adoption of the report did uct cut off the supply of money. Alderman Trcker could not understand the reason of the motion. Alderman McSpedon withdrew his motion to reject the resolution. ‘Alderman Me&rnnox, under the ruling of the Chair, moved a reconsideration. Alderman Tucker opposed it, and asked would the mem- bers of this Board favor an act that would turn poor laborers: out of work, because Mr. Hogg is gaid to have acted as a partizan. But how was that preved—by an affidavit? he ud seen enongh of affidavits—thoy could be got for any- thing; but he was surprised that the members ‘of this Board, who had expressed so much sympathy for the poor men, would vow turn hundreds of them out of work. He, for one, would * assume doubtful powers to carry on this work:"* they had been assumed before in this city during the past year. Alderman Wrisow also hoped that this matter wonld not be recon idered ; it looked to him as ifthey were inclined to do great things before the election, but cared little for the poor now. Alderman Apawa said that the Comptroller having taken $50,000 worth of the bonds of the Central Park without consulting the Board, was an insult to them; he (Alder: man A.) was willing, before the election, to give the Iabo- rers work, and he was willing now to do so, notwith- standing the manner in which Mr. Hogg had acted ‘The motion to reconsider was lost and the report ac |Mayor Wood wag in the Chamber, seated by the Presi dent, during the foregoing proceedings. } Me POLICE AND DISTUCE COURT CLERK. By a former resolution of the Board, the Mayor was in vited to meotthe members on Monday next, in Conyen. tion, for the purpose of appointing (he Police and District Court Clerks. At abont 27 minutes after 6 o'clock, Alderman McSrr- pon rose and moved that the resolution of the last meet ing, inviting the Mayor to meet the Board in Convention, be rescinded. Carried, He then offered @ resolution that his Honor the Mayor be invited to meet the Board in Convention this evening, at hall-past 6 o'clock.

AM MAYOR THEN TOOK THR CHATR, ‘The Mayor called the Convention to order, and directed the Sergeant-at-Arms to see that no member left the Board until the proceedings were tertninated. Alderman Ciaxcy then said that it was necessary, under the charter, for the Board to proceed to tll the vacancies that occur under its provisions. He then offored for adoption that the following named persons be and they aro hereby appointed, respectively, to the offices enume rated below, in pursuanes of the provisions of the act of the Legiviature of this State, relative to the appointment of Police Court Clerks aud Clerks of the District Courts of the city of New York, passed April 10, 1855:— tet Clerk of the First District Civil Court—Frederick W. owe.

As soon as the adjournment took place there was a scone of great confusion; most of the members entered the centre of the clamber, and about a dozen spoke at the same time, while the more unconcerned commenced smoking their segare. Alderman Tockee said it was @ most outrageous trick, and was an outrage. Alderman Wiisos—It's just what your black republican Board did two years ago. Alderman McSrxpprx—It is only paying you back with your own coin. It ie all fair and perfectly propor ‘The Mayor viewed the confised scene with complacen ey, and walked towards the door.

Comonfort's administration staggers along av ¢ bas dona for a year past, living from hand to mouth, and manifest. ing an exalted reliance upon Divine Providence. Vie was duly installed in office on the Tet instant, taking the oath to support @ constitution which he had already declared had been openly violated by not less than six of the States, and which in hie opinion, was clearly insufficient to se- cure public order and tranquillity, What a solemn farce!

Reports have been put in circulation in the United States Dy interested parties, and published in several of the papers, to the effect that Comontort was highly displeased with the action of the American Minister, Mr. Forsyth, in relation to the Tehuantepec grant, and that he desired recall. These reports are entirely without foundation. The Menifor bas an official denial of this statement—the Monitor, the editor of which paper carried the report to the President, who gave him authority to deny it in toto. As tar as I can learn, Mr. Forsyth bas it io bis power wo refute completely, and in every particular, all the 4 ing and unbecoming charges which have cece male against him in relation to this Tehuantepec buswwess by the New Orieans clique. Should he do se, you may look out for some rich deyelopements ou this’ «ubject i the course of the present Congressional session, as the papers will undoubtedly be called for at an early date by some of Mr. F.'s numerous friends in Congress, administration will tind itelf on the horns of @ very awkward dilemma before this matter is brought te @ con- clusion, but I have full faith in Mr. Buchanan's judgment and sound discretion, and doubt not that he will arrive at Just and correct conclusions. And here T cannot refrain from remarking that, in my opinion, the action of our government in relation to Mexi- can aflairs, or rather their want of action, displays either acriminal indifference or a moet unaccountable “ance, either of which is equally blameworthy. Should the pre: sent administration in Mexico pass away withont our curing advantages which will inevitably result in sane benefit to the Cuited States, the enlightened historian will be justified in making an inteusely black mark ugaimet Mr. Buchanan and bis Cabinet. ‘Two or three times within the past few months the pre- sent ruling power in this country has been on the eve of disappearing from the scene, nothing but a series of lucky 2 bas kept it Should it paces away, the ‘radical puroe, with their rabble of followers, will succeed for a time; but almost immediatery their want of administrative talent, added w their e@x- cesses and consequent dworders, will throw the coun- try into the bands of rch party, whose monar- ! views and illiberal ign policy will completely close the doors to any chances on the part of the United States.
