SIX DAYS LATER FROM EU-
ROPE.

BY the packet ship John Jay, Capt.
Holdrcdge, we have received our files of
London papers to the evening ofDec. 9th,
and Liverpool to the 9th inclusive. The
complexion Of affairs is rather more pacif-
ic; though at the same time it is evident
that Europe is reposing on a Volcano
The remarks Of M'Laftte, the French
Minister of Finance, in the Chamber of
Deputies Dc. lst, are worthy Of particu-
lar attention:
From the Court Journal.
We are enabled to state from authority
on which we can rely, that very impor-
tant private conference has recently TAX
en- place between the present Premier
and the Duke Of Wellington, the result OF
which shows q perfect correspondence be-
tween the views of those statesmen, as to
the most important features Of Continen-
tai affairs at the present moment. This
fact will surprise some of our readers as
much as it will crafty others.
LONDON, Dec. A. 1t is said that the
Emperor Nicholas has declared that it is
not his intention 10 march his troops a.
cross the frontiers without the consent oil
the principal European Powers. As thi.
fact has not been officially announced, i,
would be improper 70 place implicit reli-
ance upon It, but ,se ought to add that j,
has been mentioned as coming from good
authority by an Evening Paper, the Cou,
Ter, and that the visitor OF this article hat
the same information from highly re-
spectacle quarter before its appearance
in the Journal alluded to.

Domestic Manufactures. moment
this subject is commenced or spoken Of,
the mind is at once coming over the diff
ferent operations which are gone through
with in cotton mill, in order to produce
cloth. Yard upon yard is calulated on
for the labor of female and all the
noise which attend these concerns, IL
thought over, insomuch, that the smaller
branches of manufacture are, in a meass
urc, lost sight of, or in other words, overs
looked. A great variety Of articles can
be produced without the power Of the wa
ter fall or the aid Of a steam engine. For
an instance IN support of this, let me cite
one single branch, in order to show how
much advantage manufacturing is when
carried on only very limitedly,to to individs
uals and to the community. The manu-
lacture of Td'pawlisg Hats, has for few
years past been carried on to a consider
able extent in this town, by MIR. PAUL
WARE. He has had about $4,000 Of
these hats manufactured and given en-
ployment to about sirty females some
have been employed in plating the pal
metto--others in sowing and forming the
bats-others in covering |; and also en-
ployed number of males, in painting and
vending them when in merchantablc
state. Now to me, it appears, that this
subject has not been sufficiently attended
to and encouraged. Instead of this, a
distrust and back'ning spirit has been man
ifested, which has dampencd the enter
prising and perseyereing, IN the pursuit Of
the object which if carried into effect,
would prove beneficial to themselves, and
spread hcalthful influence around. A
considerable amount is yearly expended
out OF town for the purchase Of Shoes

iterests. Let us not be deceived by III,
sympsthy shewn for our revolution by the
English people.
The Nation applauded the revolution
of 1889, but England nevertheless waged
against Us war Of determination. En-
gland will never allow France to take
Belgium. She would willingly give up
Ireland 70 have the harbor Of Antwerp
filled up. Financial embarrassments a
lone prevent her going to war. She pre-
walls on us to reject the offer ofa nation
of brothers, who want to join us. She
will make war when she can do it at her
ense and with perfect convenience.
M. Sebastian, Minister of foreign af.
fairs, said the ornaments in the North
were the consequence Of error and not in-
dicatiohs of war. England was no lon-
ger actuated by hatred against France
She was the first to admire our modera-
tion and increasing power. We have, he

FRAxxrx's ToAsr.-Long after Wash

drank by the British Ambassador
England--the sun whose beams enlight-
en- and ffuctify the remotest corners ol

glowing with national pride drank

 At the recent meeting of the friends of Mr. Clay, in Philadelphia, it was a. greed upon to hold, what they were pleased to call National Conyention, in Baltimore, sometime in December. There remains TO doubt, now, as to who will be the National Republican candidate for the Presidency. Mr. Clay will run,-his party is well organized, and what 1t lacks in numbers it will try to make up by its zeal. It behoovcs the Republican party, then, 10 drop their party bickerings and to unite all Their strength to elect Gen. Jackson. His friends must arouse themselves they must make an exertion, they must increase their zeal. IfNIr. Clay should be elected-if his party should triumph if National Republication should pre- vail, then we may begin to d z. the grave of Republieanism-then may We begin erect a mauseleum to its memory-then may we prepare our ears for the sound Iof q requiem to it's lifeltss remains. But we will not indulge so unwelcome an idea,we believe too huch in the patriot ism of the American People-we can not, yet, think that the names of our Washingtons, our IIenrys, our Jcffer- sons, ard our Nicholases have been for gotten.

 General BeYaard.-We observe in the last New York Gazette, the following paragraph respecting this distinguished officer:
 "General Bernard, lately in the ser vice of the United States, and who re turned to France a,shoFt time since, has been reinstated inhis formergradeinthe 1 Ifrench-a army, as an officer of engineers, and called into actual service.' ,
 This statement is notentirely correct. General Bernard, it is true, by q leave of absence from our Government, went Hast winterona visit to his native eoun- itry; and it is true that his name has been restored to the rolls of the French army. from which 1t had been dropped after 1 the fnal.overthrow of Napoleon and the second restoration of the Boufbons; but it is not true that General Bernard has l taken service in France; on the contra ", he accepted leave of absence fol six months only, aud he is now probably on his return to the United States, to resume his duties here, as we know by lietters which we have seen from him l that it was his intentionto embark in the packet of the 10th of April. We have no doubt that the editors of the Gazette in common with all others who are ca, 1 pableof appreeiating the value of thi: .distinguishedindiYidual, will learn witt pleasure, that our country is not likely to lose the advantage of .er4iees, iron which it has derived so much benefit. Having thus occasion to notice Gen BERNARD7s visit, NC may gratify his nu merous friends in tie U. States by ad ding the following particulars. One O his objects in going to France and one O the first duties which he performed or reaching if, was to visit his aged father and family, residing in his native towr of Dote, in Franche Comte. Of thal visit, the Paris National of the 29d 0 March, makes the following mention:-- sThey write 10 US from Dote (depart ment of Jnra,) the arrival in onr town O fourcountryman, the brave General BIER StRn, of tke Engineers, (who has como to visit his family after an absence Of fiji teen ycars,) has been the occasion of. : patriotic celebration.
