The News from Europe-Its Commercial
Importance

The fastest steamer in the Cunard line, the
cambria" is now in her fourteenth day, and we
look Tor fifteen days later news from Europe, by
her, overv moment The first flash Of the tele-
graphic line will announce her appearance Foif
the port of Boston, and the next will give us the
most important item Of news.
Considerable anxiety exists among commercial
classes in relation TO the commercial complexion
of the news so near at hand. Spectators in cot
ton, dealers in breadstuHs, and all in fact con-
nected with our trade with Great Britain, are on
the qu pve, as it is anticipated that the advices
will be o. the greatest importance. Holders of
cotton and flour in this and all the other markets
of the country, are not disposed to make transact
tons to any extentin these staples until further
accounts are received from Europe. as they ex-
pect such advces as will materially improve
prices
From the report of the growing crops through
out Great Britain, received by the last steamer.
there is good reason to supposs that later ac-
counts in relation to the harvests will be more ia
vorable TO an advance in quotations on this side,
and it is also probable that the effect of the ac
counts which have been from time to time re-
ceived from this side, in relation to the old and
new crop of cotton, will have such an influence
upon the principal cotton markets of Great Bri-
tain, as induce us TO think that we shall receive
by the Cambria the most favorable and fattering
reports as regards prices, sc.
On the whole we are disposed to think that the
commercial advces generally will be highly en-
courag.ng, and that they will give an impetus to
all kinds of business in our markets, of the most
satisfactory character. We do not look for any
political intelligence very great importance.

| BUS -We regret TO perceive that fhe papers
throughout the country are giving publicity to an
extravagant, and it might be said, malicious
statement regarding the number Of men who fell
victims to the asiatic cholera, while the Columbus
was at Manila. The report is vague and unsatis-
factory, and the disconnected manner IN which 1t
is given, would imply sod havoc among the
crew of that vessel. The statement has now gone
the rounds, disturbing the quie,ude of many, and
creating much and intense anxiety in the minds
of the friends Of those on board.

MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.--Mr. d. Bravo, Of New
Orleans, left this city last evening on his return
home, having completed his arrangements for the
extension of this rapid and important method OF
communication, from PHILADELPHIA to New Or
leans. His efforts have been highly successful,
and under his energetic management, few
months will suffice to complete the line. 1t ex
tends from Philadelphia to Harrisburg, Pittsburg
Wheeling, Cincinnati, Louisville, st. Louis, Nash
vile, Memphis, Vickburg, Natchez to New Or
leans. This line will comprise two companies,
one extending from Philadelphia to St. Louis, and
the other, formed by Mr.. Bravo, from St. Louis to
New Orleans.
The citizens Of New Orleans in particular, and
of the Western country generally, are indebted
solely to the exertons Of Mr.. Bravo, for the esta
blishment OF these companies, and for the pro-
bable completion of these lines, as he has under
the most discouraging and adverse circumstances,
succeeding in forming them. We trust this enter
prsing gentlemanl will receive that countenance
and support from that section of the country
which will be SO much benefited by his efforts,
which he so richly deserves.

THE LATE GALE.-The effects Of the severe
blow on the night of the 13th instant are begin
ming to become known-evcry mail that arrives
south of Philadelphia brings us intelligence OF
some terrible calamity. We have already received
and reported, under our maritime head, some
thirty serious disasters, many ofwhich are attend
ed with loss of life. The extent OF its disastrous
effects, we fear, is much greater than anticipated.
We have now accounts from, the coast as far as
cape Hatteras-how much farther South it ex-
tended we have not heard. Along the coast Of
Nor'h carolina and Virginia it ragged with the

Inc most melancholy evidences of its violence
have been seen in the forms of human bodies,
fragments of wrecks,and large quantities of goods,
which cover the surface of the water, from Squan
Beach to Cape Hatteras.

fishes the following correspondence, which
took place, after the equalization, between
Gen. Morales and Col. Whiting, Quartermas

raj, addressed the following note to the Gov.
ernor IN reference to the subjects of that con-
versation:
"Gen Taylor orders me to address your Ex-
cellency upon various subjects in reference to
the conversation had with you the other morn

''He desires, in particular, that you will Or

mules for burden between this place and Ca

ployed, yet many more are needed.
"He also charges me particularly to say to
your Exeellency, that you will request or CON-
mand the inhabitants to bring in their corn and
deposit the same to a considerable amount in
this city. 1t is necessary that this corn should
be brought in, and it must be by your Excellen-
cy's orders, or By force. If procured by the
first means, it will be paid for at the same price

the second, the owners may look to their own

''You will please to inform me officially, 1--WE

ces of transporting each mule load from Ca
MARCO to this city, and the prices which the
Mexican Government have been paying for

This note of Col. Whiting, Gov. Morales re.

tanned important dispatches for Gen. Taylor,
besides many private letters, was taken by the
enemy and conveyed to Ampuda, who re-

Whether the Mexican mail rider was killed,
as is pretended, or carried the mail of his own

it is thai the mail is in possession of the enemy.
After the Mexican Army had retired to Sal
tilIo, Gen. Taylor, hearing Of the loss of the
mail, sent a messenger to Ampuda and re-
dence. The self-appointed postmaster general
of our Army replied, through Mr.. Faullace,
that mail had been taken and received by
him, but that he had forwarded the bag to
Sauna Anna! Mr.. Faulace, however, hoped
soon to have the pleasure either of sending
back the private correspondence or of bringing
il in person. This accounts for many persons
in the Army not eceiving intelligence from
home when they knew it was due. For in

Mexican to run the gauntlet for fifteen dollars,

NE take the following extracts from letters
of Mr.. Halle, the A rmy Correspondent of the
New Orleans Picayune, to that paper:
"Durng on interview with an officer of rank
and experience, day or two since, he showed
me letter that he had just written to friend
which contained his sentiments on this subject.
TIe remarks:
There never was q nation so much mistaken
as ours in regard to that of Mexico. | mean
in respect to its military resources. The PEG
Pile are warlike and have an abundant supply
of munitions of war. Our battles with them
improve them as soldiers. Our invasion is held
by them in adherence, and has united all
classes in determined resistance against u.s.
The battles of Polo Alto, Resaca de la Palma
and Monterey were battles with their frontier
Army. From this place onward, if we have to
march on further in this direction, we shall
meet with their home A rmy, made up of hardy
mountaneers and better class of soldiery.-
So far consider we have not injured their ma
ton, but done it service, by defeating their old
officers, thus causing their rmy to be placed
under the direction of younger, more ambitious
drawer and more accomplished generals. In
fact, so far from the war being ended, it has
Just commenced. Our position is critical
Our supplies, at Camargo, 1870 miles distant,
must be wagoned to this place. This long
line has no protection. The ranchero troops,
numbering near $500, are behind us as gueril-
las, and if they choose to act, our trains must
be cut off, Although this is a rich valley, its
supplies are inadequate to our wants, except
in beef, for my length of time. Our Army, or
the effective part of it, is too diminutive to meet
strong force. It is weak, physically, for it
has now been in campaign over thirteen months
with scanty clothing and much hardship and
exposure. The volunteers are numerous, but,
with the exception of those regiments COM
manded by late officers Of the Army, without
discipline. / suppose our whole Army will
muster, when all arrive from below, 5000 men
for duty, and we hear the Mexicans have one
on the advance to meet US of 10000 men. II
am convinced, and so is every officer of the
Army, that we have done wrong and commit
ted an irreParable error in leaving the Rio
Grande to march in this direction. To end
this war a more vital blow must be struck
nearer the Mexican capital; and that is, Vera
Cruz should be taken by the way of Alvarado.
We are now over 700 miles from the city of
Mexico, with vast desert to traverse. In |
word, to make peace economically with Mexico,
some things must be undone, and our Govern
ment must commence again. Discharge the
volunteers and raise your regular force to 30
or $4,000 men. We have the fullest expecta-
ton of the most active guerrilla war against
us. Move where we will, the mountains and
passes afford every facility to carry it on sue
cessfully and most disastrously for us. Our
Army, as now situated, can be compared to the
French in Spain, when Joseph was driven out.n
