the south of Europe by the policy of France, will
hereafter seek fresh alliances and more perma
nent combinations in the north-with Prussa-
with Holland-with Denmark-with Sweden
perchance with Russia. In Prussia a first step
has just been made in the direction of consttu-
tional government-the convoking Of a national
diet, or States general, in the early part OF next
month This movement in Prussia has created
grea, sensation in England, and indeed over all
western Europe. There is an evident resuesS-
ness in the minds of men in this quarter Oh the
world. which must find vent somewhere, one OF
those DAYS. Vesuvius and Etna generally give
some intimatien before an eruption. The old and
new dvnasties of western and central Europe are
giving way to the spirit of the age, bit by bit.
From the frontiers of Russia to the shores of
the Atlantic, these ideas are growing and fermen-
ting It is singular fact, nevertheless it is true,
that in Russia and in the United States alone, are
the forms of government and the institutions OF
society considered permanent, settled, and satis-
factory to their respective people. Their calm
ness or forms of government reign paramount.
Yet the one is pure despotism, and the other a
pure democracy. A country with government
and institutions at any point between these two
extremes, is in continual ferment-n constant
state of excitement-n one eternal conflict, that
never will end till either or the other extremes
is reached. The time is coming when either Rus.
sia must overrun all Europe to the ocean, and
create mighty modern empire on the ancient
Roman model, or Europe will become great
family of republics, and overrun Russia, and blot
out her present existence. In the meantime, let
the people of the UnitedlStates till then, get the
highest prices for their corn and cotton.

T,ne Attack on Vera Cruz.

1t is uncertain whether the attack on Vera Cruz
took place before the 10th March. If it did we
may exp eot the news every hour. fit did not take
place till the Goth, we must receive it in a very
few days.
Be this ss it may, we shall receive tidings of it
within an hour after they are received at Wash
ington, and afterwards we shall receive full and
complete details from our correspondents in the
army under Gen. Scott, and in the navy under
O ommodores Conner and Perry. Within half an
hour after we shall have received intelligence
of the result of this great naval and military de
monstration, we shall publish it in an Extra
Herald.
We can safely, we think, say in advance, that
Vera Cruz and 8. Juan de Ul1a, are now in the
possession of our arms.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1847-03-29

At the time when the administration had con-
cluded upon storming Vera Cruz, and the fortress
of S. Juan de Ulua, and were engaged in making
preparations for the purpose, we compiled and
published list of the several vessels OF war that it
was supposed would take part in the attack, to-
gether with their classification and armament
Since the publication Of that table, we have
discovered that several other vessels have been
detailed for the Gulf service We now publish

Total number of guns. :. 1895

With the exception of perhaps half dozen,
every vessel in the above list has, without doubt,
paid her respects to the Mexicans, by showering
missiles of death into tho fortress and city, and
ducing both with the assistance of the land forces
under General Scott. We have no doubt that the
cighty-fve pound bomb shells and Paixhan shot
have, many days since, reduced the fortress; while
Gen. Scott and his gallant soldiers are enjoying
themselves in the city of Vera Cruz, and resting
after the latsues of doubtless the greatest victory
that has ever been achieved by American arms.
Wehave at considerable trouble, compiled the
following list, for the purpose of giving our
readers correct estimate of the number of ves-
els chartered by the government to convey troops
and munitions OF war to the Island of Lobos.-

SINGULAR AND MELANCHOLY ACCIDENTAL SIN
g,ilar and fatal accident occurred on the Spring
field and Worcester Railroad, early on Saturday
morning last. 1t appears that whilst the train
was on its way, the wire ofthe telegraph, in some
way or other, got entanged with the locomotive,
and before it was discovered it threw of three OF
the hands, killing one Immediately, and injuring
another so much that it was found necessary to
amputate his arm. The name Of the unfortunate
man who was killed is Coleman, one of the
brakemen. The third one was considerably,
though not dangerously, hurt. II is not known
in what manner the accident occurred. None OF
the telegraph posts were down, and besides, the
railroad and telegraph are parallel to each other
