JUNE 6.—Thu French war steamer Chimere, arrived
yesterday morning from Toulon. She brings accounts.;
of the ill successes of M. Saratea, Rosas's agent at Paris,
in his application to have Baron Deffaudis recalled from
his mission.
From Uio Janeiro we have London papers, with re-
ports of the speeches in the House of Commons on the

It is a matter of wonder here by what means the
British Government expects to effect the independence
of this state in the absence of an adequate expedition
from Europe.

AMERICAN AFFAIRS.
NEW YORK, Arc. Is.—Peace is .now the word in the
United States. The President has dispatched a mis-
sionary to Mexico. lie is, it may be pre,,umed, a demi-
official, but without any power—a kind 01" pulse-feeler,
and sent for the purpose of ascertaining, thi ough some
confidential channel, how a Minister or a C,:mmission
would be received and treated. It is said, but .there is
some doubt on the subject, that this Government ,has re-
ceived ,`rem one of its Consuls an assurance that It'xico,
in his opin'
ion, would readily make satisfactory arrAnge-
ments on th, subjects of boundary and the American
claims, and am!. for a quid pro quo she would transfer
California.
Now, an impressio has been made on the America
people, that this sugvslion by the Consul is authorised
by the Mexican Government. This Ido not believe. I
have no doubt that the I\lexicans desire a pcace, and
would willingly make sacrhsces to obtain it ; but they
have not authorised any ageni or public function3rY so

to say.
You will find in the American Purnals a message of
the President to Congress, asking aA'n appropriation of
two millions of dollars to be placed under' his cont-ol
to enable him to negotiate a peace, and also the prim-
ceedings of the Senate thereon. The Whig members.,.
generally, were opposed to permitting him to expen
this sum of money at his discretion. Several of them
avowed their want of confidence. In the House a Bill
was reported, and en amendrn,:_nt to it was offered awl
adopted, declaring that in no parst of the territory which,
might be acquired by the contemplated negotiation
should slavery ever be tolerated. Thus amended, it
passed the house ; but the amendment p;evented a large
portion of the south from supporting the Bill, and pro-
bably was the cause of its defeat in the Se.:liNte, to the
great mortification and disappointment of the .I'resident
and his Cabinet.
It is said to be now in contemplation to send eut to
Mexico a commission consisting of three distinguished
individuals. This is done with a view of controlling
Mr. Slidell who is proposed as one of them, and wilt.) "
of a warm temperament, and by no means a farotu-ilte
with the Mexican Government or people.
Whether, after the defeat of the Presidentfs
2,000,000 dollar scheme, he will consider it his duty 00
send a commission, is somewhat problematical. Accord'e
ing to his opinion, nothing could be effected without th,e
money ; with it any and everything. lam informed by'
a gentleman who has an opportunity of knowing, that
the army in and about the city of Mexico are paid daily,
and that a neglect or incapacity to p, ay them would dis-
band them.
In my last letter I stated that Paredeo was about to
take command of the army. All recent ;;.e counts tend
to prove that he dares not leave the city;
an immediate revolution is inevitable. 'But it cannot be
supposed that a Government thus hampered on. all sides,
that• if he does
and at war with a nation far more powerful, ,cam long
sustain itself.
That this war in the United States is extreme.lY un-
popular, and daily growing more so, is certain. Bu't, in
addition to the war clamours, we have the tariff and the
sub-treasury, both of which aro unpopular measiartlS,
and well calculated to excite the people against the
Administration, and all it does, right or wrong. 111
times of great popular excitement the masses conaiine,
and each pours out his grievance. Although opposite
as the poles, yet they unite in denouncing those whte
have done them a wrong, real or imaginary.
Already a large quantity of goods are deposited itr
public store, there to remain until the Ist of December,
when they will be entered under the new tariff law. I
have referred to this subject in a former letter, in which
I expressed an opinion that many of the shipments to this
country would prove most disastrous adventures. I re-
main of the same opinion, especially if the act& cost ist
correctly given. Thousands of dollars will be entered
fraudulently, that is to say, invoiced 10 or 15 per cent..
below the cost ; and as the duty is ad valorem on swill.
entries, that amount will not pay duty, and consequenoy
the fair and honest dealer can stand no chance with the
fraudulent merchant.
Congress have adjourned in a very bad humour with
the President. The passage of the Tariff, the Sub
Treasury, and certain other Bills has given great dis-
satisfaction. The veto of the River and Harbour Billy
and the Bill to pay certain claims for spoliation by the
French prior to 1800, have added greatly to the excite-
ment which seems to pervade the whole country.
In
the approaching political contest everything will be
swallowed up in the Tariff question. That party have
taken as their watchword—Repeal, Repeal ; and i;.t will
not be used without effect.
The President was authorised to issue and procure
money for 10,000,000, or any part thereof, of sip per
cent. stock ; or 10,000,000, or any part thereof, of Trea-
sury notes, provided that the amount of money titius
obtained shall not exceed, in the whole amout,l,
10,000,000 dol. As yet no money has been borrowed
on stock, nor any Treasury notes issued. Out-door
financiers predict that by the Ist of November the Go-
vernment will be embarrassed for the want of money.
The money market at present is calm, and it can be
procured, on satisfactory security, at a reasonable rate
of interest. Confidence, however, is shaken.
There is every prospect—l may sly, certainty—of a
more than average crop of bread stuffs. The demand.
for flour for shipment is limited, at a fraction less than
4 dolls. per barrel, say 3 94-100 to 4 doi:s.
The potato crop, in several parts of the ,country, will
suffer from the prevalent disease, but not sufficiently to'
affect the market value of bread stuffs.

TATTERSALL'S. —YESTERDAY.
Sir Tatton Sykes', who at first showed unfavourable
symptoms, came stro6gly into favour as the afternoon ad-
vanced, and, although uominally at the same price az The
Traverser, left off the better favourite. he Traverser was
backed in two or three pl,Aces at 6 to 1, Tand lago, Fancy
Boy, Grimston, and Brocarao at 9 and 10 to 1, leaving ofr
steady at the odds quoted. Pyrrhus the First and Mount
Callan were declared not to start; and such liberal odds were
laid against Dolo that we may fairly lon.k upon him as out
of the race. The field appears likely to be a small one.

AQUATICS.
DEPTFORD REGATTA.
The boat race at Deptford yesterday posseh'sed a feature of
novelty, affording " those of the olden time" an opportunity
of exhibiting, to the exclusion of the watermen of a modern
date. The race was, as usual with below-bridge ),`agers, in
five heats, with six competitors, and the assemblage ifumenee.
The multitude of all grades, who had heard the " 01,4 ones"
talk of their training, condition, lasting powers, and other
requisites, flocking to the locus in quo to ascertain whether' the
combatants were half as good as they affected to be, or
whether the " light of other days had faded." There wa..l,
however, but little fault to find, the race being quite as welt.
contested as could reasonably have been expected, and afford—
ing. considerably more amusement than wagers amongst thoses
with youth in their favour generally do.

The distance was from Upper Watergate, twice round,
each extending the whole river front of the town, from the
creek's mouth to the Queen's Yard.
It was a very good start, and for a few strokes the
" ancients" certainly must have laboured under the impres-
sion that they were " Coombeses," and no abatement; brit
they soon, found out their mistake, and dropped into a very
sober pace. Dark blue then took the lead, kept it, and WOl3
