The News Bythe arrival of the steamship City of Washing- ton off Cape Race on Friday iast, when she was intercepted by the news yacht of the Associated Press, we have news from Europe to the 23d _alt., four days later than the advices previously received. With the exception of a ramor published in the London Star, to the effect that our Miuister, Mr. Dallas, has expressed his satisfaction with regard to the arrangements of England on the question of the couduct of the British cruisers in the Gulf, the political intelligence is unimportant. At Liverpool American produce continued depressed. In London consols were quoted at aj. There was but little inquiry for American securities. The City of Washington reports weather unfavorable for the Atlantic telegraph expedition. The steam frigate Niagava, of the telegraph fleet, had not made her appearance off Trinity Bay up to half-past seven o'clock on Sunday evening. Rain had fallen steadily ali day, and there was consider- able fog. The steamship Cahawba arrived at this port yes- erday, with Havana news to the 30th ult. Sugars | had slightly advanced. The health of the port and city was about as usual at thisscason, With regard to the movements of our flect in the Gulf, the Colo- rado, Jamestown and Fulton were off the coast of Cuba, while the Wabash and Arctic were, when last heard from, at Key West. Our correspondent at Caracas, Venezuela, writiog on the 18th ult., says:—The country is quiet, and promises to continue so, undera new constitution similar to that of 1830. A general convention of delegates will be convened onthe 5th of July, to draft a new constitution equal in all its bearings to that alluded to. Ex-President Monagas continues under arrest, and should he not disgorge his plan- der of the public funds, he will certainly be im- peached for malfeasance. The crops are abundant, and health, peace and plenty reign throughout the republic. Our Bridgetown (Barbadoes) correspondent, writing on the 22d ult., says:—News from Jamaica to the 1th inst. announces the arrival there of several British vessels of war: and two Britivh steamers are now cruising of this port, but are prohibited, by orders from Admiral Stewart, from boarding American vessels in the Gulf. The Admi ra’ only strictly complied with orders from the home government, and believes they were concocted by the late government asa fecler, which produced quite a different effect to Mat anticipated. The rains are general through the island, aud most favorable for all classes of inhabitants. Ti stock of sugar and molasses is large and increasing, in consequence of a limited demand. The markets are well supplied with American prodace, particulariy Dreadstaffs. Provisions, lumber and fish are wanted. Exchange at 30 a 90 days, $492) a $185 on London, per £109 sterling. Bills on New York at 10 days, 14 per cent premium. The eighty-second anniversary of the Declarotion of independence will be appropriately celebrated to-day in this metropolie, by militaey salvtes, pa rades, and general rejowing. The military tura out promises to be large, and the exercises of the day will terminate by grand displays of fireworks in ail the parks of the city. The Tammany Society will have their usual celebration at the Old Wigwam, and the democracy of the Fifth ward promise to have a good time in laying the corner stone of a new iron Liberty pole The new screw steamship Bremen, which left Bremen on the 18th of June direct for New York, Grrived at this port yesterday morning. The Bre- men brougut one hundred aad eightecu passengers. Later news lad been received by the Arabia and Borassia. The steamer Jamestown, with the remains of President Monroe, and the Ericsson, with the Beventh regiment on board, arrived safely at Nor folk on Sanday and proceeded on to Richmond. An interesting army general order is published elsewhere, from which it will be seen that, in addi- tion to the present bounties, the War Department bas authorized to be paid for enlistments at or near Fort Giveon twenty-eight dollars, Fort Pierre, Ne- Draska, t eight, and Fort Bachanan, Arizona, ne houdred and seventeen dollars. Mr. Ceder Hohn was ordained on Sanday afternoon ot the Rethe! chip John Wesley, lying at pier 11 North river. Bishop J; assisted by other cler- Eymen, conducted the The Bishop preach- wd an eloquent sermon, taking for his text the 18th werse of the et chapter of the Epistles to the Co rinthiavs; after which the pastor presented Mr. Hohn for admission to the church. The ishop then called ob the congregation to unite their prayers on thé occasion, and stated that Mr. Hohn purposed leaving America in a few days, to labor in Christ's cause tp Norway. Portions of the Soriptores having been read in the Norwegian and Swedish languages foe arsenal ordina’ ion services were gone through, and Mr. Hob received the blessing and prayers of the Bishop and the congregation present.

It ie not a little euspected that Louis Napo- leon aima to carry out the great circle of events begun by the elder Napoleon, and reconstract the map of Europe, To this design the Coburg interest in England is not averse, provided its own position upon the Continent is made that of a leading Power ; and it is supposed that it hes already consented to the occupation of Italy by France, to the utter exclusion of Austria and King Bomba. In Spain, too, there is 20 little uneasiness and excitement at the constant intrigues of the French Court. Not only does tbe Empress Engenia maintain a most lively in- terest in the affairs about the Court of Madrid, but constant exertions are made to attach the Spanish politicians, public writers. and even. ports to the train of her admirers. To so great an extent is this carried that Paris now almost disputes with Madrid the palm of Spanish lite- ratore, and is in reality the centre of Spanish intrigue. In all these combinations for the future extension of the empire to the bounda- ries established by the first Napoleon, the great difficulty to be encountered is the tone avd temper of the British people. They pos- sess an hereditary jealousy of France, which the entente cordiale has only been able to gloss over, but not to affect in the slightest degree; and the ancient hatred cpon which Pitt founded his policy, and which kept him so long in power, has recently broken out in certain marked and unmistakeable instances, Although the plans of the houses of Romanoff, Bonaparte end Coburg may be well digested and arrang- ed. there is great danger that the British public may not only refuse to consent te them, bat iosist agaiu upon subsidizing the nations of Eu- rope to resistance. To this position of affairs 'n Europe we have some advice to give Louis Napoleon asto a proper thing for him todo. Ie has shown him- self to be a practical man, fer above the fanati- cal tendencies of European humanitarians, and capable of rightly estimating the trae elements of civilized well being. A recent effort of his in endeavouring to reinvigorate the French colonies of Martinique aud Guadaloupe with African labor has failed, and the great advan- ‘tages that were to accrue to France there- from have fallen through. We would, there- fore, advise him to direct his attention to the former French colony of Hayti, or St. Demingo. Sixty years of freedom beve carried the Haytien empire back to bar- bariem, and made the fertile fields of St. Do- mingo a wilderness. The skill and energy of the white rece bave abandoned the island; the negroes bave been reduced to a quasi state of slavery by their own kind, who lord it over them under the copied titles of emperor, dukes, counts and lords; the mechanic arts are nearly lost among them; production has fallen almost to its minimum point, and the entire community does not present one redeeming point for the future. France now holds a mortgage over Hayti of some one hundred and eighty or two hundred millions of francs, which will never be paid. In view of this state of things we advire Louis Napoleon to eend out a portion of the fleet and army he has prepared, and take possession of the once rich colony so foolishly thrown away by the first French Directory. By so doing, he will doa great good to civilization, give em- ployment to the armament that now qlarms Earope, and augment the power of France with ® colopy containing thirty thousand equare miles of territory, and capable of unlimited ex. pansion in an industrial sense, Now, the island of St. Domingo is a blot upon the civilization of the world, and a standing condemnation of the false ideas of the mission of humanity that found their early exponents in the Jaco- bivs of the firat French revolution. Under a tocial end political rale each as he might or- gapize there, it would again become an element in the civilization of the world; its present fetishiem would give way before the teachings of Christianity, and the condition of its in- bahbitents would be in every way improved. To euch « course on the part of France there can be only one objection. This is found in the possible opposition the step might encounter from the United States, Bntsuch an opposition can be easily overcome, by combining with it be true necessities of thie country, We do not want Si. Domingo upon any terms. Our political theorice and institutions are unfitted for the black races there, and we could never, by their operation, reduce those races to the only po- tition they are fitted to hold in the community. But the highest exigencies of this country, both ine military and a commercial sense, require that Cuba ehall become a part of our political system. It lies in immediate contiguity to our shorc#, commands the approaches to thousands cf miles of them, is their natural outlying sen- tine], and porsorees in every way the requisites of a tropical complement to our domestic pro €uction ard consumption. We have consented for atime that weak and impoverished Spain should hold it, but the time is rapidly approash- ing when the feeling of national security and the necessities of national defence will imperi- ously demand that it shall unite with this Union. Already the public mind, both in this country and in Cuba, looks forward to such a consum- mation. It ix within the traditional policy of the Em- pire to recognise and assent to these laws of our bational growth. The first Napoleon helped us to Louisiana; in fact, he forced ua irto the pur- chase of it at a time when our own leaders were yet doubting of our ability to accept our future destiny, It is now our with to follow out the path which France at one time acknow- lodged wae oura, but to fellow it out without violence or bloodshed. We are willing to give Spain an indemnity for a territory which she herself acknowledges rhe cannot hold for many years longer, and which, in case of any great disturbance in Earope, we shall be compelled to take pomsession of from prudential motives NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JULY 5, 18658. of natione) security. Ni : fol, low out, then, the polic: incle, and lend | his;ipfluence to induce S to accept the peaceful Achition of ® necessity which | it is impossible for ber to evade. With such an underetsnding between us we would readily as- sent to hia reocenpation of Hayti, and. g! see the re-eatablichment there of civilization and Christianity. Arrams mw Mrxico—Our farthen advices from Mexico to-day are of an interesting character, and exhibit the continued necessity that the government should take some im- mediate interest in the protection of our citi zens in that distracted repablic. ‘The present position of our Minister there is misunderstood, through either the carelessness or the ignorance of the telegraphic reporter for the Associated Press at New Orleans. He sent flying over the country the report that Mr. Forryth had demanded hie passports, The true state of the matter was given by our corres- pondent in the city of Mexico, in a letter pub- liched three days since. Mr. Forsyth had done all he could to protect the interests of American citizens there; but finding his efforts of no avail, he determined, on the morning of the departure of the express mail, and probably after the despatch of bis letters to the govern- ment, to close the legation. This fact is stated by our correspondent in a posteript written immediately before the closing of the mail. This, it will be seen, accords with the explana- tion of the Washington Union, published in another column. Our correspondence from Vera Cruz and Mon- terey, in another column, with news from our exchanges, show that the war against the Zuloaga government iscontinued with unabated erdor on all aides; and it would seem that the priest ridden party must fall, for the spirit of the people is everywhere aroused against the cburch and the standing army. Executions both of clergymen and military officers have taken place in several towns, and seem to have a great effect upon the supporters of President Zuloaga. But reprisals have also been made, and the war is assuming not only a bloody, but a predatory character. Forced contributions in the cities, and sacking and pillage in the country, by bands of guerrillas or robbers, is be- coming the rule throughout the central portion of the republic. No conjecture as to the pro- bable cessation of this state of things can be made, for all parties are equally in want of money to make a great and successful movement against the other. From the tenor of all the accounts from Mexico, however, it is evident that ihe people are gaining upon the priests and the army. Tue Oresing or TeuvaNTEPEC AND 173 Rz- SULTS.—We give elsewhere to-day some important information relative to the steps for opening the Tehuantepec route to the Pacific, and a detailed account of the new mail route between New York aad New Orleans. The final opening of these lines will shorten the time of travel be- tween these two cities fully two days, and re- duce that between here and San Francico from twenty-three to thirteen days. Such an event as this must have a very de- cided influence, not only upon the material in- terests of the trade and intercourse between our At'antic and Pacific Stater, but it will affect the whole of our national policy toward the repub- Tics south of us. The reduction of the time of passage to San Francisco of nearly one-half will effect a very important change in the saving | of interest alone upon the large amount of treasure annually remitted from there. Another beneficial result will be the opening of a new line of travel by which passengers and emi- grants wil] be conveyed more cheaply than hitherto, a thing which has been long hoped for by all the interests involved. These results will materially stimulate the growth of our Pacific States, and bring eventually a large in- crease to the domestic trade of the country. In a political light the results of the opening of the Tehuantepec route will per- haps be even more important than in an eco. nomical point of view. The great interest which has been felt for yoars in the political stability of New Granada and Central America will necessarily be diminished by the with- drawal of a portion of the trade and travel of our citizens throngh those countries. At the same time the turning of a part of this com merce to the Tehuantepec route will give usa more lively interest in the political fature of Mexico, and no doubt lead to important combi- nations between the two republics. A stable government and the maintenance of public order there, which have hitherto commanded little attention im the public mind here, will new become an object of public solicitude, even to a greater degree than has been the case in regard to Central America and Panama, In proportion as Mexico gains in her material con- nection with us, Nicaragua and New Granada mnst lose, though we can never abandon the protection of the interests of our citizens in- volved in those republice. The opening of the Tehuantepec route is, therefore, one of the moet important steps of the age, and the administration of Mr. Bu- cbanan has done a good thing in lending its countenance to it. We hops that the disas- trous bickerings which have marked the con- test over the Nicaragua route will not be re- peated here. The conflicts of the New York Commodores in Ceutral America have cost the country millions, delayed our national march, and done themselves no good. Let us have no more bickerings, but open the Nicaragua route aleo, and give the whole world the benefit of three American Transit routes in active ope- ration. Fovrra or Jeux Stampeoe—Ovt or tik Feywwo Paw mto THe Fink.—The aspect of New York on Independence Day is a curious one, The city seems to have almost entirely changed the character of its populftion, resem- Wing in thie respect, for the nonce, all the fea- tures of a captured town. All the regalar residents who can get out of it are to be reen thronging the railroads, steamboate and country vtager—fiying, as it were, for their lives, and carrying baggage or provisions according to the length of their projected absence. In the streets all the faces that one meets are thore of provincials come to the city, curions to say, in the same vain bope which impels the New Yorkers to quit it. All seek to escape the pyrotechnic and other noisy celebrations of their respective localities, and all plunge into another pbave of them, The patriotism of the rising generation will not allow any to shirk the temporary penalty which has to be paid for the blersings of a republican constitution. We must ali, therefore, take our share of it, with as much good humor and patience s# we can command. the pure end exalted administration of Mr. _pablican ‘opporition that was arrayed against it in Congrees, but ‘has come out of the contest with a bigher degree of power and popularity, it peed not thank for that those who should bave proved themselves its most staunch and unflinching supportera. And if in the next Presidential election it will so bappen that the banner of democracy cease to be the signal of triumph, the defeat of the party will have to be attributed to the perverseness, personal am- bition, and insubordination of these same men. In the election of Speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives, the administration party showed itself to have a working majority over the com- bined opposition, of from twenty to thirty; and yet there was not @ single public mea- sure recommended by the President, or requi- site to carry on the wheels of government, in which, through the crotchety defection of some unmanageable democrats, the votes of members of the opposition were not required to make up a majority. ‘That was a strange condition of affairs, and oné which must have been mortifying in the highest degree to the administration and to every true friend of the democratic party. The defection was primarily exhibited when the President recommended a course of proceeding in regard to Kaneas, which he honestly deemed the safest and wiest, and the one best calou- lated to restore peace to that Territory and put on end to strife and agitation throughout the country. But no sooner was the course indi- cated by him attempted to be carried ont by Congress, than a score or more of reputedly ardent democrats flew off at a tangent in both houses, and those of the House of Representa- tives, by allying themselves with the opposi- tion, frustrated for months the patriotic effort of the President to put an end to the dis- graceful feud which had too long subsisted throughout the country in regard to a lot of political vagabonds in a distant Territory. The world knows by what means a compromise was at length effected, by which many of the renegades came back into the democratic fold, but still too few to save the administration from being indebted, even for the parsage of thiscom- promise measure, to some opposition votes. Still more curious circumstances attended the paseage of some of the deficiency bills. Although the items in these bilis were for expenditures already made or for debts incurred on behalf of the government, under a democratic administra- tion, and although they emanated from a demo. cratic Committee of Ways and Means, numbers of democratic representatives arrayed them- selves in determined hostility to these bills; and, strange as it may appear, their passage was due, at length, to the votes of a large portion of the opposition united to those of the administration party that were not disposed to this crotchety course of action, over the votes of the minority of the opposition and of the democratic recu- eants. So it was, too, in relation to the expenses of the Utah expedition. Were it not for the patriotism and independence of party exhibited by republican and American members, Brig- ham Young might be still ruling in Salt Lake City, for aught some of the democratic mem- bers of Congress cared. In the bill passed for raising four regiments of volunteers, which the President subsequently found he might dispense with, and which he, therefore, did not call into service, the support of republican members was freely given, and operated to counteract the hostility of come of the profeseed friends of the administration. The amendment of the Senate to the Naval Appropriation bili, directing the coastraction of five steam sloops-of-war, was amended in the House on the motion, we believe, of Mr. Coch- rane, by increasing the number to ten; but the amendment to the amendment was carried chiefly by republican votes. OnaCommittee of Conference that was subsequently had on dis agreeing votes to this bill, a compromise line was struck substituting seven for ten, and this substitation was confirmed almost unani- mously—at least, the opposition came not from republicane. So, too, in respect to the loan bills. The main opposition to them came from unmanage- able democrats and constitutional hairsplitters. When the last bill for the fifteen m'llion loan was before the House, it was amended on the motion of a republican member from Michigan, by increasing the amount to thirty millions, on the ground that less than the latter sum would be insufficient to supply the deficit and meet the expenees of the government during the fiscal year. And this amendment only failed finally because, by a parliamentary arti- fice which had to be resorted to in furtherance of business, all amendments were cut off, and the bill was reported from commiiteo in its original shape. We think that this array of facts, taken from the history of the last session of Congress, and which might be enlarged cd libitum, will satisfy every one of the truth of the statement with which this article opens—that Mr. Buchanan has little cause to thank the democratic majority in Congrees for the success of administration and government meneures, and that if the demo- cratic party sustain a defeat in the next Presidential election, that defeat will be due to the insubordination and eccentricities of its own members. The prominent democratic members of Congress exbibited during the last session a disregard of party organization, a contempt for party discipline, and a want of cohesiveness, which, however refreshing to sec in our public men, forebodes aught but good to the existence of democracy, and give dange- rous indications of weakness and impending diveolution. Thie ie so, more particularly as their opponenta of the republican party are woll drilled, in thorough subordination, and ap- pear to have no crotchety, eccentric or thin- skinned individnals among them who will be always flying off at tangents. If the course of ection be farther persisted in, and if the admin- ivtration shall hereafter be rendered dependent on the forbearance and good common sense of ite natural enemies, instead of on the cordial support of its natural friende, it will not be difficult to predict the result of the Presidential election of 1860. Aw Ixpran War Trrreatexro —We publish in another column an interesting article on our relations with the Indian tribes on the Western and Northwestern frontier, to which we direct attention. There is every reaon to foar thata serious and most expensive war with the triber in Washington Territory, Oregon, and still far- ther south, is impending. The recent disas trous collision between Col. Steptoe and the Snake Indians on the Columbia river, and the The A ation. and d- “TTR BLS. SIT N hostile attitude assumed by other tribes in Min- nesota—ané, in fact, all along the border—warns us that there is trouble ahead. Indian wars Have always proved very expensive affairs; and in the preset depleted condition of the treasury, Mr. Cobb might find considerable diffioulty in procuring the wherewithal to maintain a pro- tracted struggle now, with our enormousiy costiy Utah army aleo to be provided for. Locking at all the present indications on the border, we are reminded that our mode of deal- ing with the Indians has not been calculated either to advance their condition or secure their good will. There is a screw loose in our Indian relations, and we would suggest to the govern- ment an entirely new Indian policy. The tribes now ecattered over a domain of immense ex- tent might be concentrated within such limits as would enable us to control them. They should receive smaller annuities, and be com- pelled as much as possible to cultivate the sot! for a subsistence, and above alla better and less rapacious class of persons should be employed to deal with them as agents, It is less to the faults of the red man’s character than to the rapacity of the white men who intermingle with them, whether as traders or officials, that we are indebted for many of the difficulties which occur. In many instances the Indians are de- liberately proveked tocemmit outrages in order to get up a pretext for sending troops to some of our frontier eiations, by which means greedy speculators may make a little money. The Semi- nole wars in Florida cost the nation upwards of $50,000,000, The Indian wars in Washington and Oregon have already involved usin a debt of $6,000,000; and as things look now weshould not be surprised if we got another severe lesson on the Western frontier, which may teach us, to our cost, that the present policy adopted to- wards the aboriginese is entirely wrong and needs a radical reform. Tox Next News rrom Uran.—The last in- telligence from Camp Scott represented General Johnston as about to march with his whole army—three thousand strong—into Salt Lake city, in two days. He has been re- inforced by Capt. Marcy’s command from Santa Fe and the supply trains of Col. Hoffman from Fort Leavenworth; his men were in fine condi- tion, and his stock of animals complete. The Governor and Peace Commissioners hadalready preceded him. ‘The entrance of the army into the capital of the “Saints” will put the inten- tions of the Mormons to a practical test. Their threat will be remembered—that the appear- ance of the soldiers within the capital should be the signal for converting Salt Lake City into another Moscow. We shall see whether they will carry out that intention, We know no- thing of what has been doing inside the city, except from the statements of the Mormons themselves; for Governor Cumming was igao- rant and foolish enough to exclude the news- paper correspondents—a fact which is in itself evidence that he is not ihe man for the mission he is upon. He ought to know something of the nature and value of the newspaper press, and the popular desire to be informed through that medium upon all matters of public impor- tance. Mr. Cumming ought to have been born in Austria or Turkey, or some country where the press withers under the blight of censorship. From the intelligence we have been able to gather it is clear that the question of resistance to our troops is a mere party one in Utah, and, moreover, that the party lines are drawn pretty close. The peace men—among whom Brigham Young chances to be—have a small majority; but the war party is still a formidable one—the more so because it comprises the men who made the largest saerifices for the cause, who have lost their all for it, and are ticrefore uawilling to give it up without a etruggie. The men who came in obedience to the call of the Church from Carson Valley, San Bernardino and other pointe, where they had accumulated fortunes—all of which are now lost forever—are not likely to submit quietly, and go forth into exile without making an effort to retain some foothold on the soll of Utah. If the city should, be barned down on the approach of the army, we should not be surprised to see these men take to the mountains, turn guerilies, and keep up such laraseing assaults on the troops that another Florida war may be the result, In the partial exodus of the Mormons south- wards we do not recognise any certain indica- tions that they mean to abandon the Valley altogether. It is more probable that they will settle at Provo and other small settlements around, in the hope that the army may be withdrawn, when they calculate to return and enjoy their own again. Perhaps their leading men see farther into the alarming movements of the Indians on our western frontier than we do—if they are not the instigators of some of the hostile manifestations, which, if they cou- tinue, will necessitate the employment of our army at other points besides Salt Lake Valley. If this should turn out to be so, it will prove that Gen. Johnston was right in urging the im- mediate advance of the army into the city, and that Governor Cumming was wrong. Fotlow- ing the example of Mr. Fillmore and poor Pierce, Cumming haa adopted a tomporizing policy, and the Mormons are most likely ham- bugging him as they did them. In view of these things, the next news from Utah will be of the highest interest; perhaps the most important yet received from that quarter. Meanwhile read Dr. Bernbisel’s card in another column. Frat justitia, &e. Tan Artanric Terrorarn.—We have no news as yet from the Telegraph expedition. Let us hope that the delay may verify the old pro verb. It is to be accounted for in a measure by the weather which is stated to have prevailed for the last ten or twelve days. The City of Washington, which was boarded off Cape Race on the 2d, reports it to have been anything but favorable for the purposes of the enterprise, The Indian Empire, which reached Malifax on Friday, encountered a severe gale on the 21th, which must have seriously retarded the labors of the expedition. By the log of the steamer Victoria, (published in another column,) it will be eeen that up to the 13th solid packs of field ice were everywhere to be encountered off the Banks of Newfoundland, whilst other versels report meeting numerous iceberge. From these statements it may be inferred that the work of laying the cable had met with o slight delay, which would account for our not having sooner received news from the Telegraph fleet. Itisonly asthe paying-out vessels approach the reepective shores, that they would be likely to cross the track of the mail steamers, We may be without intelligence for several days longer, supposing the connection in mid-ocean to have been temporarily postponed; but it is net likely that another week will pass without our re.
