Arrival OF IL Washington and Niagara
later from Europe.


Ry the arrival Of the steamships Washington
and Niagara, We have news from Europe six
days later-;he former vessel bringing intelligence
three days later than that recently received, and
the latter giving dates to the. nineteenth Of
July. There has beea change in tSe markets

The political intelligence begins TO present an
interesting study to the politician. The crisis

stitution- which excites The hopes, the ambition,
the intrigues the designs, and even the desperate
purposes, Of every class and grade Of politicians,
and Of society is now before the people. Ia the
Legislative As emily it has been tlc ground for an
animated debate, and some Of the scenes in the
Chamber already resemble those whi,h took place
In the days Of Taller Barrere, Bobespierre, and
the other spirits Of the Grst revolutionary epoch in
France. If there is more moaeration, il is caused
by the pale finger Of history pointing to the
bloody picture Of the past, before which men and
nations treuable at the terrible anticpations Of
human passion worked up to desperation. The
speech Of Victor Hugo against the revision of the
cors,itrtion. and that Of Cayaignle, the same

10 tell what Departing powers may do in making
their last struggle FOR recognition Of their

must confess that we perceive little hope for Louis
Napoleous continuation al the head Of the govern

First Consul, 9nd makes a stride towards empire

From Madrid We learn that some fears are enter
tained there with regard to the designs of the re-

spasmodic attempt at an excitement Of the popu-
