The Foreign News.
We give in this days paper, our usual, accurate
and comprehensive synopsis Of the intelligence
brought from Europe by the steamship Cambria"
The news does not present any striking points Of
interest. Commercial affairs so far as respects the
intercourse with the United States, are in pros
porous condition. The cotton market-that great
centre to which many eyes are here anxiousy d.
rected-is healthy and vigorous. Political matters
are in n state of quiescence.
One very curious and important item of intelll-
gence, we find in our files received by the Cam
bria, that is the announcement of the extraor-
binary and significant fact, that vessels have ac'
tually sailed from Ireland fitted out privatesrs,
and bound for the Gulf of Mexico, there to receive
letters of marque from the Mexican government.
1t was supposed that Mexico would certainly declare
war against this country, and the journal from
which we have extracted this piece of intelligence.
does not hesitate to invite attention to the opportu-
nifty for piracy, which it was confidently expected,
had been thus afforded, and with unblushing Inso-
lence recommends and defends the fitting out of pr.
vateers on the ground that that was the best means
of annoying the United States-which Mexico
" sadly wanted" This confirms in remarkable
manner, what we have SO repeatedly said relative to
the assault which would be made on our commerce,
in case Of declaration Of war by Mexico. Our
impression is, that we have not yet the end OF
all this.
The meeting of Victoria and Louis PHILIPPE, al
Treport has been the fruitful theme of rdicule and
laughter Royalty has often been in curious pre-
dcament, but only think Of King and Queen in
bath-tub In connection with the rdicule excited by
this and other incidents in the Queens late tour,
and which appears to be so freely INDUCED in by
the masses Of the English people, the agitation OF
the question" Will Cromwell have statue ?-is
not unworthy of note. The spirit of repubIicansm
is working in the popular mind on the other side OF
the Atlantic, and one day we shall see wondrous re-
suits. With respect to Mexican affairs the British
journals maintain marvellous silence. This very
silence, however, is significant.
We have not space at present for further com
ment but refer our readers to the ample and int
resting details Of the news with which we have
furnished them in to-day's Herald.
MORE ScANpALoUs PUBLICATIONS OF PRIVATE
PApERs.-We understand that Mackenzie has now
ready for press another pamphlet, containing still
more curious private letters, picked up in the Gus
tom House, some of them written by Mr. Van Buren,
addressed to Jesse Hoyt and others addressed to
other distinguished characters; but particularly
lot of love letters, anatory correspondence writ
ten by ladies' who wanted office on any considera-
ton for their friends and fellow sufferers 1t is said
that this correspondence will give an insight into
new class Of society, and utterly astound the public
with revelations that have never been dreamed Of
The pamphlet Is now ready, as Mackenzie himself
declares to his publishers, but he only waiting the
disposition to be made next week by the Chancellor
before he puts this new brochure to press. This
pamphlet will probably contain something like his
tory OF the Presidency of MI. Van Buren,, and also
that Of Mr.. Tyler.
We understand, indeed we know, that another
pamphlet is in press, attributed to one Hiram Cum
ming, formerly warm Tyler man, giving an &C.
count OF the administration of Captain Tyler rela
ting chiefly to appointments to Office and variety
Of curious incidents, love letters, and what not
connected with the Tyler dynasty. II is said
that wine and women were two of the most
potent instruments in procuring appointments to
office during this dynasty, and that many curious
facts, illustrative OF this phenomena in the admin
istration Of the affairs of great republic, will ap
but it pours, as the old proverb goes
1t is also said that there is IN the hands of the Po-
lice of this city, batch Of amatory correspondence
consisting OF nearly one hundred letters, belonging
to Chevalier Wikof, Of Fanny Elsser memory; but
whether they are TO be published or not, we have
not been able to ascertain. These letters were
found during the last great fire in this city, in some
escritoir which was broken up in the melee on that
occasion. They consist of series OF letters ad-
dressed by men and women of various characters
some doubtful and some otherwise-to Wikoff, du-
ring his residence in Paris, London, Philadelphia
and New York-all interesting, but particularly go,
some curious propositions made by distinguished
men of fashion, through Wikof, to Fanny Ellsler.
