viii so with still greater activity, and Mr. PHI
losopher Greeley will then be more at leisure to
render them his aid and counsel
The meeting this evening will be very interest
ing. Doubtless a great crowd will be collected to
hear the orators, and altogether the proceedings
will be well worth attention. This ls a most re-
markable movement, and its whole progress will
be full of curious incident.
IMPORTANT Mission TO EuRoPK-THE PEACE OF
THE WORLD SEcURED.-We understand from COM
petent authonty-authority in which we, at least,
repose perfect confidence--that a very important
mission is about to be undertaken to Europe, and
that the embassy will sail in few days. This
mission has been undertaken by no less person
age than his Highness, the Sovereign Prince OF
Coney Island, including his suite, consisting of two
secretaries, one physician and winchester, ac-
cordng to the old feudal usage and custom of the
ancient and renowned sovereignty Of Coney Island.
He has taken passage on board that capital SKIM
mer OF the seas, the Sheridan" commanded by
one of the most experienced and brightest of the
bright ship-masters Of New York-and we under
stand that his Highness will embark on Thursday,
at the hour OF IL O'clock from the Battery, attend
ed by his suite, when we expect to see large con-
course Of our fellow-ctzens assemble for the pur-
pose of Witnessing the departure of this important
embassy
We have no doubt that a great deal OF curiosity
will be excited at the European Courts by the visit
of this iustrious Prince, and that the movement
will also awaken considerable interest at the Court
of Captain John Tyler. Great anxiety will be felt
respecting the object Of this mission. We can
only say, let them look at the belligerent attitude
OF France and England--the difficulties growing up
in Europe-and the imminent danger of war, as
shown by our ancient friend and pistol, Col Webb.
1t will be recollected that when Colonel Webb re-
turned TO this city after his visit to Europe, he pre-
dicted war between England and France, of
which he remarked with characteristic profundity,
that the chances were as s'seven" to "two." Whe-
ther he meant by this, "seven" had abetter chance
OF licking "two," or vice v0sa, we know not. But
no doubt there is very bloody war now raging in
Europe according to the Coloneps account, and
other equally authentic intelligence. In such a
state of affairs, then the Sovereign Prince Of Coney
Island goes out TO Europe, to attend Congress OF
Sovereigns at Baden Baden, or Carlsruhe, or the
Harz Mountains, or some other hard-named place
IN the interior OF Germany, at which the Emperor
Of Russia, the Emperor OF Austria. the King Of
Prussia, and the Grand Turk, will be present. 1t
is probable also that Louis Philippe will send his
fighting prince there and it is certain that His Ho
ness the Pope will be represented by one of the
Cardinas-a fact which we thus early bring under
the notice OF his Honor Mayor Harper, who is, we
all know, especially bound to look sharply after
every thing in which that cunning old rascal, the
Pope has got finger.
His Highness of Coney Island being perfectly
satisfied that Europe is in danger Of being precpl-
tated into active hosties, and, Of course that the
United States would soon mingle in the fray, he is
determined to exert the whole of his mighty infu-
ence in putting end to this war-llke state of al
fairs, to prevent this shedding OF BLOOD and to bring
about that millennium when everyone will sit under
his own fg-tree and quaff the juice Of his own vine.
He does not go to Europe as the Commissioners of
Illinois did thrice to ask for loan, and come back
with their fingers in their mouth and pockets as
empty as ever. Neither does he 60 to Europe to
get loan in order to open coal-mine. No. He
goes to Europe to assuage the angry passions Of
Kings and Princes and Potentates, and to show
them that he can get wines, pure wines, wines
such as go nearer mans heart than his
shirt, and whose gentle influence dispose
the kings OF the earth to shake each others hands,
instead of shaking each others Kingdoms. In
short, his Highness is determined 10 restore the
peace OF Europe, which has been SO seriously
threatened by the belIigerent attitudes of France
and England. And after he has fulfilled this be-
nevolent mission, his Highness will take trip
through the wine districts OF Spain and Portugal,
and the south Of France, and bring back cargo
OF wines, such as have never yet inspired the souls
Of men in this western world
There are, we learn, three or four state rooms
Ia the " Sheridan" yet unengaged We wish that
we could get away, and occupy one Of them, sail
ing in company with his Highness But, alas
we cannot. While he is going to settle the affairs
oil Europe, however, we must endeavor, during
his absence, to preserve the peace between the
two great belligerent parties here, and see also
that the iocum tenens OF his Highness discharge
with fidelity the important duties of his office,
maintaining in all respects, the peace prosperity,
and welfare of the renowned sovereignty of Coney
Island
The LicENTIoUsNEss OF THE PARTY PRzss.-As
the day OF election approaches, and the crisis be-
comes more and more imminent, the party papers
appear to lose altogether all sagacty, all discre-
ton and all moderation. During the last few days,
we have seen the papers on both sides full OF
charges against each other of receiving money
from the British in order TO carry the election
The wing papers charge the democrats with re-
ceivlng share of El00,0OO collected by the Bri.
tsh manufacturers for the purpose Of promoting the
cause of free trade, and great deal Of nonsense
and balderdash is poured out In support OF this
cusation. On the other hand, the democratic pa.
pers are full Of charges against the wings Of re.
ceiving money from the British government in or.
der to aid them in opposing the election Of Mr.
Polk and the annexation Of Texas,
If. then, we believe both parties-and they are
probably ABOUT equal in point Of veracity-boh are
now well supplied with money from England. We
are very glad 10 hear this According to both par
