writing from Vienna, under date OF Dec. lO,h,
makes the following statements
formerly frequently limited that circumstan-
ces induced me to believe that this government
cherished the idea of sooner or later dealing
| severe blow against the commerce ct Engand,
and that this was one of the p incipa motives
for its ardent desire to form German Austrian
Customs Union. My suspicious are now changed
into something very like certainty, for since
Louis Napoleon has become dictator, the hostil-
ity to Engiani has become more strongly pro-
nounced than ever, and the Introduction Of a
continental system (sperre) is now openly sPo-
ken of as consunn,aton devoutly to be wished.
The Lloyd of yesterday contains an article on
the subject, which deserves yonr attention; the
writer is of opinion that all European, and par.
ticularly all German powers, must feel it n duty
to combine in taking defensive measures against
the English system of plunder." As the last
half of the Article is directed against Prussia,
| must suppose that the refusal of that power
to share in the Austrian customs conferences
on the I'd of January is correct The ancient
jealousy between the rival dynastes is great
as ever, and Prussia is evidently determined not
to be taken in tow by her powerful rival, if she
can avoid it, In their wrath people here are
deaf TO reason, and fatter themselves that the
French will sacr flee their profitable export trade
with England, in order to join them in a COM
plete continental prohibitive system.
The DErAuLTIrG CASE AT New ORLEASs.-
Judge Larue. of the fifth district court New
Orleans, has dissolved the injunction issued by
the United States against the property of John
Kitty Smith and John Chandler Smith. The
suit it appears, was instituted by Thomas j..
Simons, as agent and attorney of A. Ii. Meclin,
n broker at Washington, who himself is ap
pointed an agent for the collection OF the sum
alleged to be due to the general government, in
letter addressed to him by J. C.. Clark, soil.
citor of the treasury, dated the. third ult. The
dissolution of the INJUNCTION and sequestration
was made on the ground that suit cannot be
instituted in behalf of the United States, except
by its legal officers, and regularly appointed
agents, and that the solicitor CT the treasury has
no authority to grant the agency pleaded in this
case. If the President, the secretaries of any
of the departments or any of the subordinate
officers of these departments (says Judge
| Larue,) could without authority of law delegate
any of their powers TO private citizens, the
only be destroyed, bnt it would become means
of private oppression and individual vengeance

WITHDRAWAL OF THE New YORK AND New
ORLEANS LINE OF STEAMERs-A letter from
New York to the New Orleans Picayune says :
The steamers Union and Winfield Scott, which
have so many times brought you news and pa
pers in advance of the mail regret 10 say, have
4 al n Al L r
sufficient patronage to warrant their continuance
! The Union is to run on the Chagres route, and
the Winfield Scott is up for voyage to San
Francisco, around the Horn.
The only steamers now that will touch at
New Orleans, will be those from New York ria
+, Havana, and the regular Havana and New Or.
leans steamers, so that there will be no regular
and direct line between the two great CONNER
cial cities Of the Union. This is to be regretted.
| but of course the owners are not to blame, for
| what they could net make by the old route in n
year, can be made under the present new ar
rangement in three months, and profit is the
main thing, and at the same time the main spring,
they were compelled TO adopt the course they
have taken.
