EUROPEAN AFFAIRS. Our accounts from Eu-
rope continue to be of the most interesting
character. We have found some difficulty in
~condensing and arranging the volumnous de-
tails which have poured in upon us during the
last week, in such manner as TO give our read
ers a satisfactory understanding of the progress
and situation of the revolutionary movements,
up to the time of our last accounts. But by
dint of labor we think we have succeeded toll
orably well. From present appearances, the
severance of Belgium from Holland appears in
evitable. Whether the present dynasty will be
suffered to continue their rule, after the separa-
ton, is doubtful. 1t will be seen that the King,
after having tried strong measures and finding
them Intellectual, had resorted-possibly too
late-to more concliating ones, and had as
scented to a separation and appointed a commits
sion TO arrange the conditions on which it
should be carried into effect.
In Spain, Portugal, and many of the German
States, the spirit of revolution is rife, and it ap
pears to be the opinion Of some of the most IN
telligent men in France and England, that
general war in Europe is now inevitable. We
ardently hope that such a scourge may yet be
ave-ted Further accounts from that continent
will be looked for with intense interest.
o. We have received communication rela-
tive to the practices of certain individuals, in
reference to the late election, in which they
are castigated with unsparing severity, and
serred up for the amusement of the public,
in a style which would probably be little
gratifying to their feelings But personalities,
however much they may be deserved never
find a place in our columns when they can be
avoided consistently with our duty and in the
present case, they are entirely supererogatorv.
In this enlightened community, the immoral
doctrine that g. all is fair in politics. will not
go down; and political fraud and trcacherv,
are looked upon, as being the evidence of moral
turpitude and depravity of heart in those who
are guilty of them, as much as they would be if
resorted 10 for any other than political pur-
pose. The public have set this thing right
Tho vote for DR.. Thurbcr was probably no
greater than it would have been had he been
supported merely as the candidate of the party,
without any allusion being made to Major Da-
Wis; and the attempt to divide the friends OF
the latter has recoiod upon its projectors, and
shown their impotence, The authors of the
practices, spoken of by our correspondent, arc
known to an abused and insulted community
who look upen them with the same indignation
which honest mon always feel towards those
whose iniquty would Intentionally rob them Of
their just rights.
New YORK ELEcTIoN. The Election in New
York has terminated in tho choice of Tbroop
the Regency candidate by probable maiorit,
of about 1000 votes over Granger the Anti
Masonic candidate. Great numbers of tn,
Ant-Jackson party voted for Throop in prefer
cnce to Granger, while still more refused tc
vote for either. In consequence of there being
no Anti-Jackson candidate for Governor, nom
mated specifically on that ground, the Van Blu
rem ticket for officers generally, has succeeded
IN most parts Of the State.
Ono. Returns from nearly the whole Stat,
make il certain that Macarthur is elected Gov
ornor by majority of about 5000. The Legis
