COVE are really surprised that the Com
mercial should pen such paragraph as ap-
peared in that paper OF Tuesday, headed :" Po-
litical Trickery" We do not know exactly
what the Commercial means by political trick
cry, but certainly his paragraph alluded to,
seems to US pretty fair specimen of that ar
ticle. The Commercial completely misstates
what ire did say, and fails TO make good what
1t SAID on the 9Th, about the expenses Of the
war. The whole contracted debt of the Uni
ted States is IS millions of dollars now. That
debt was upwards of II millions of dollars
when Mr.. Folks administration came into
power, from which, the inevitable consequence
is that the whole of the debt contracted by the
present administration, l. e. the war debt, is
short of so millions OF dollars. Where is that
clerical error of "our own manufacture -
Will tie Commercial attempt 10 prove that the
debt of the United States, on account OF the
Mexican war, is $50 millions OF dollars' Can
the Commercial, outside of its own unsupport-
ed assertion, prove single error in our facts
When it does this, we may have something
more to say not before

The FOREIGN News The events that
have transpired in Paris cannot hut be viewed
with interest by the whole civilized world
They are the most singular and astounding
that have occurred in any one city in Europe
within the last five centuries Indeed, we
question if there is any parallel in all history,
TO the recital of events which we give on our
fourth page. We have, therefore, devoted
more than our usual space to the " Foreign
News" We have not given the misceIane-
Gus European news, for the reason that in our
last we gave summary up 70 within three
days of the present arrival. We devote the
whole of our spare "elbow room" to the
French news. Is it not startling in the ex.

aware that deeper degree of enthusiasm per-

written in no boastful mood, but as the settled

ScoTT AND Pillow We clip the follow

the New York Herald -
"On the assembling Of the Court on Wednes-
day last, Gen. Pillow appeared and remarked that
he held IN his hand paper stating that, when he
preferred the charges against Gen. Scott, he did
in order to bring ont certain facts, which he
had been fearful would not appear in his own case.
However, he was now perfectly satisfied with the
facts which had been adduced, and which he con-
sidered completely exonerated him from all tlame;
and as he had no personal animOsities to gratify,
he was now DESTROYS Of Withdrawing his charges

that the Secretary of War was the proper person

as tho court was not full. Tie court then ad-

Gen. Pillow charges that Gen. Scott, previous
to the battle of Chapultepec, held frequent COM
muncations with Santa Anna, and finally agreed
to pay him $4,000 if he would use lis influence
to hiring about treaty Of peace. The sum was
paid over to Santa Anna, who made it condition
that Gen. Scott should march to the gates of the
city of Mexico, and there stop-the willy Mexican
General stating that the fact of large army being
right at their doors would induce the authorities
to subscribe to any treaty which would ensure
their safety. Gen. Scott followed this plan-with

Up to the 9th of July, five weeks after his NOM
ination, says the Picayune, Gen. Taylor had re-
ceived no information from Governor Morehead of
the said nomination What does this portend I
Wilmington Journal
What does it portend! Nothing very particu-
lar, probably, except that we shall now hear that
Gov. Morehead has written ano her letter. IF the
Journal had asked what it proved, we might have
answered, that some 1.ocofoco Postmaster had pill
fered the letter which Gov Morehead wrote to
Gen. Taylor on the subject on the 9th of June.

Indeed what terrible, dishonest, piIfer-
ing set of fellows these Locofocos are? We

can bear with them going at large. We pre-
sumo the letter to Fillmore has also been

kind, we might say that Gov Morehead had
not written any letter upon the "9th of June
that he merel y said so-but we have no dis.
position to impugn any gentIeman's word, and

charges being investigated-and one of the char.
ges bears on this very matter. The charges still
remain in the hands of the Secretary of War, not
having been returned to the Court"
COLT is the opinion of some of the New Or
leans papers that Paredes will be able to over
throw the present Mexican government, and
that, as consequence, the war will be renew
ed on the part of Mexico, as this is the main
ground upon which he (Paledes) is operating
upon the passions and prejudices of the dis
contented Mexicans. We care not whether
Paroles may or may not be able to overthrow
the government of Herrera, we think the
Mexican people will not again shortly desire
another war with Uncle Sam.

DEFENCE OF MAJ. GEN. Pillow I'VE have
received from some Congressional friend,
whose autograph we cannot decipher, copy
of Gen'l Pillows defence before the Court of
Inquiry. We have read it carefully through,
and are convinced that the writer has estab-
lished his innocence of the charges preferred
against him by Gen'l Scott. The defence con-
tains "a octave pages. We clip the following
paragraph from the Baltimore Clipper, and
commend it to the attention of those papers in
North Carolina who have abused Gen Pillow
so unsparlngly =
Major General PiI0w.-We confess to have
entertained strong feeling of prejudice against
this officer, on account of what we supposed to
be an effort to exalt his own fame by means OF
anonymous publications, at the expense OF the
regulations of Gen. Scott and other distinguished
officers. We censured him in no measured terms
as the author of the famous " Leonidas" letter.
AID almost held him in contempt as al unprinci-
pied pretender. But we have read the pamphlet
containing his defence before the Court OF lnqul-
ry, and must candidly admit, that our opinion OF
him has undergone a change. His defence Is
written with great ability; and his summing up
of the testimony on the variOns charges and spe-
ciications, is done in mastery manner. 1t may
he objected that he is too severe in his reflections
on some of the witnesses but it must be recolIec-
ted that he is acting the defensive, and smart
ing under what he deems false accusations. He
handles Nicholas p 1'rist with peculiar severity
nor does he spare Capt. Hitchcock and some 9TH
er officers. He has been ridicued in the newspa-
pers for his supposed desire to puff himself, and
we have contributed our mite; but on the evil
dence contained in his defence, we admit that we
have done him injustice, and retract what we have
said to his disparagcment-having no disposition
to injure the reputation of any man, and paricu'
Iarly an officer who appears to have borne himself
gaIIanty on the field of battle.
