TIE FRENCH REvoLUTIoN' Effect Oh
Commercial affairs The probable effect OF
the revolution in France: is now engaging
considerable ateu,ion The New York COR
respondent of the Philadelphia American
says;
Some ofthe Wall street operators argue,
that should the results of the revolution eX.
tend beyond France, and a general war in
Europe follow, that the immediate effects
would be disastrous to his country They
predict that all European credits being then
but blank paper, that all remiltances TO any
part Of Europe would be in specie, ard that
every Bank in the U. States would suspend
in 80 days. They also predic! that the dis.
,urbance in the mercantile world of Europe,
following such a war, would break every
merchant in this country who has any con.
uections with Europe. On the other hant
the more sanguine predict that a gen eral wal
in Europe would throw all the carrying trade
of the world into our hands, induce large
immigration; bring vast sums Of money Lert
and open the universal market 10 our pro-
tiuce, as Europe could not fight battles ant
grow corn or manufacture cotton al the same
time. Should the disturbance, however, be

Nh EDIroR:-
An article in the Wing
OF the 18th inst. bcstows great praise on
Mr.. lamar for his efforts in defeating
the Bridge Bill
We are entirel Y at loss to account for
such succession of brilliant "victories,"
as, we are told, We're achieved by this
gentleman, upon any other ground than
the application of that 'capital' invention
OF modern Legislation denominated clog
rolling" We leave it for casuists to de-
eide, what praise should be awarded him
who labours with s'industry'' to defeat
an enterprise of positive utility, and at
the same time exerts all his powers to &C
complish work Of questionable morale
ty such for instance, as the passage ofa lot~
terry lar. In common with many other
citizens q the State, we had supposed it
to be The settled policy Of Maryland, that
no more lotteries would be granted by
her legislature, but it appears we had
misiaterpreted public opinion.
It well known that the road from
Wilmington to Baltimore by Perryville
is much better than the one by Port De-
post, and would, was there Bridge
across the Snsquchanna at Perryvillc,
augment the travelling and transporta-
ton on this route one hundred per cent; COL
sequently Elkton, North East, Charles
ton and Perryville, would be greatly
benefited. Again, those who reside in
the North West section of the county
and who are in the practice Of going to
Port Deposite to market, would then
have choice of markets between Port,
Pcrryville and Havre-de-Grace.
Four or five hundred thousand dollars
expended in this county, to erect this
bridge, would benefit, instead Of injurlng
Port Depositc. as her granite would be
wanted in its construction. Were we
convinced that the building Of this bridge
would in any way prove "deyhNc're 10
Port Opposite" we should be the last men
in the county to advocate its erection.
Charity would induce us to ascrlbe the
opposition to the bridge, that proceeds
from the citizens Of Port, to mlsappre-
H'IialOil VI ltS Consequences; ''t '''' iu''
that they secretly endeavor5d TO prevent
the appointment OF a Lumber Inspector
for the town of Perrvville, and other in
dications covcrtly andopenIy given, COM
pei us to attribute it TO a less worthy mo-
tive the $cif>hncss ctduman nature. Quere.
Had Mr. lamar and his lauded colleagues,
a hand also in that matter!
Had the Bill with the caritation clause
become a law, for defeating which they
were 50 much lauded, it would have
yielded annually a revenue to the State
of from forty to fifty thousand dollars.
Tax payers would have been gratlied,
for it would have lightcncd the burthen
which presses so heavily upon them.
1t is evident that at no very distant
day the Bridge at Port Deposite must 90
down, and in that case the probability is
certainly very strong that it will not be
rebuilt, and then we shall have no Bridge
between Perryville and Columbia, a dis
lance Of forty five miles. Certainly such
a contingency should be provided for by
legislative enactment.

The French News ~ New York
Highly Eyci'i"g Times. Never, it is said,
were the people of New York city 50
wild and frantic with excitement as they
were on Saturday, on the receipt OF the
intelligence by the Cambria, of the pop
ular revolution in France. a letter thus
describes it:
The French people here were posi-
lively beside themselves They knew
not how to express their qualification at
the realization of their brightest hopes,
they by common instinct abandoned
their places of business and hocked to
the French egfes, to talk over the matter
and exchange congratulations. The tri-
colored flag was Immediately holsted on
every French hotel and public house in
the city. Attempts were made to get up
meetings in different places, but the par
ties were too much excited for any de-
Hibernate action, and the idea was aban-
doned, to be carried into effect next
week
The Irish TOO were IN & ferment, and
two or three hours after the arrival Of the
steamship the members Of the Irish Con-
federation without any previous concert
or understanding, found themselves as
sembled in large numbers at their usual
place of meeting, the Shakespeare Hotel
a formal meeting Of the body was pro-
posed, officers were appointed, and some
very excited speeches were delivered, in
which it was asserted that Ireland's time
of deiberation had at length arrived, and
that she must Immediately take advan-
tage Of England's circumstances and free
herself. Subscriptions to the amount Of
one hundred thousand dollars were pro-
posed, the money to be sent as soon as
collected, to the Confederation in Dub
lin, TO be expended in the purchase Of
arms and ammunition.
A great mass meeting Of ali the friends
of ireland is called for Tuesday evening.
Our own American citizens, too, were
excited. I'm fact, the city resembles
boiling cauldron. Many a joke was
cracked, and many laugh enjoyed at
the expense Of the ex-king Of France.
In the har-room Of one Of our principal
hotels saw neat placard, of some two
feet IN breadth and width, with this in
scripton:

The PoPE DErosED.-A rumor is CIV
en- in the foreign Intelligence which we
published by the Cambria, that the Pope
Of Rome had been "dposcd" We can
hardly suppose this to be literally cor
rect, though it probably at least indicates
that there has been some dissatisfaction.
with his late course. Perhaps, too, the
word is not used in our usually accepted
sense. The news by one or two prevl-
Gus steamers Showed that the pope had
swerved, as matter Of policy, somewhat
from carrying out to the full extent his
own highly liberal views; in consequence
Of the want OF the necessary cooperation
Of his coadjutors. 1t may be that the
popular voice has ''deposed this policy,
which the announcement OF the admis-
sion of three laymen among the Pope's
ministers, with the continuance of other
reforms, would seem to indicate. The
very liberal and congratulatory procla-
nation OF the "Sovereign Pontii,," in our
columns to-day, sufficiently indicates that
he himself thinks and feels in unison with
the people. Bait Sun.

George Washington Lafayette,
Subject to the decision of the National
Convention.
This placard was encircled with gauze
ribbons, white, blue and red, and sur
mounted by miniature French and Amer
lean flags, connected together. 1t was
very significant, and attracted a good
deal of attention. The anxiety to hear
further intelligence from Paris is intense.
Many are undecided whether the revo-
luton is complete and general over
France, but the French people insist that
it is, and that the rule of monarchy is
over forever in their native country.

in the London Daily News, of the 9th

Sir Robert Peel, made the night before:
"Sir Robert Peel expressly alluded to

British Government have wisely backed
out OF all principle OF interference in
those regions, all pretenslons Of preserv-

has been the most wise, the most pacific,
and the most dlgniied policy. And If
we could transfer a little OF this policy
to our European System-to Spain, for
example, the state of which Sir Robert
Peel also held out to us as IA cause of dis
