IMPORTANT COMMERCIAL NEeouArToNs-THE Con-
vENrIoN BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND THE
GERMAN UNION We have received by the last
steamer from Liverpool, variety of very impor-
taht information connected with the recent nego-
uations conducted by Mr. Wheaton on the part of
this country, and the German Union and also in
teresting intelligence respecting the movements
and sensation subsequent on the publication of the
treaty In France and England. 1t that this
new treaty, successfully negotiated under the
direction of the late Mr.. Upshur, by which very
important reduction on the article of tobacco has
been agreed to by numerous portion of the Ger
man nation, has fallen like thunderbolt on the
other commercial interests of Europe particularly
of France and England
BY the recent steamer, Mr. Appleton, the bearer
of dispatches from Mr.. Everett arrived and has
gone to Washington; and we are informed by our
private correspondent in London, that very inn
porant correspondence has taken place in relation
to commercial treaty between this country and
England, and that Lord Aberdeen has been COM
PEELED, under the action of public opinion in Eng
land, to make some movements in this matter and
particularly since the intelligence of the success of
Mr.. Wheaton was received. meeting of the
Board of Trade had been held on the sutherland
a deputation had waited the British minister for
the purpose of making some inquiry into the ne
cessity and policy of reducing the duties on Ameri-
can tobacco. 1t also supposed that in the
Introduction of the budget, which was to make its
appearance the 10Th ult., some reference would
be made TO this subject, and that shall have by
the next steamer, the Britannia which sails on the
4th inst, some very important commercial intelli-
gence from England
1t appears also that the same sensation had been
produced in Paris amongst the commercial circles.
Indeed both France and England seem TO have been
aroused from deep sleep by the successful negoti-
atons Of Mr. Wheaton with the Customs Union OF
Germany, and it cannot be doubted that IN a very
short period we shall see great revolution CON-
mencing in the commercial intercourse of Europe
and America. Movements of the same nature are
perceptble in Holland, Belgium and other portions
OF the great Germanc nation, not embraced i'll the
recent treaty. 1t is said that the last steamer
brought agents from the French and British 60
vernments, charged with the duty of making inn
portant inquiries in relation TO this NATTER and
that they have proceeded to Washington.
All these movements and particularly the sensa-
ton in England, indicate the success which has
attended the negotiations of Mr.. Wheaton, con-
Quoted under the skilful and statesmanke instruc-
tons of the late Mr. Upshur, and participated in by
the President They who unacquainted with the
difficulties of Mr.. Wheaton's poston-cannote sti-
mate the degree of skill, judgment, and toll neces.
sary in the management of such negotiations
Every little prince and petty potentate has a voice
in the Union, and the voices views of many of
them had to be overcome by good sense, courtesy,
and tact OF ordinary kind Mr.. Mark, the
and who has just returned from Germany.
by the last steamer, with dispatches, is
also entitled to great credit notwithstanding all
that has been said against him in the German,
English and American newspapers under the in
fuence Of British interests. But to Mr.. Wheaton
belongs the chief merit of conducting TO fortu-
nate and successful issue movement which must
be followed by the most important and advantage.

The NEW CRY GovERNMENT.-In few DAYS
the new city government will be organized, and ID |
new party, which has been generated within the
last few years by the corruption of the two old par |
ties having the management of the city affairs, will
take the new reins OF power, and give a touch of
their quality. During the last few days, the new
Mayor, and Aldermen and Assistants, have been |
very busy, IN an informal and unofficial way, in |
acquiring some information relative to their new |
duties; they have created some noise in regard to
the reforms which called them into existence,
which they mean to carry into effect soon after
their Inauguration possible. They have had
number of meetings amongst themselves and have
examined some OF the public accounts and CONVEX
sed with the old officers, and we believe have
come to some definite view relative to some of
their duties.
We understand that most of the present Office |
holders have been corrupted by the present man.
agement OF the city affairs, that they will have to
be removed, and new and clean men appointed to |
replace them. During the last ten years the cor
ruptions OF both parties have been so great as to
corrupt every man who had connection with the |
city government. II has been discovered that the |
loss, waste and extravagance-the stealings and |
pickings, and shocking corruptions encouraged by |
both partes-woud amount during that period TO |
two or four million of dollars-a sum of money
thrown away that woulu almost pay half the debt |
