A Pasis Letter has the following in reference
to the continental opinion of the war, outside
Of France:
A very intelligent American traveller, Just
from Sweden and Denmark, where he has so.
journed for several months. gave me q few
evenings ago some of his political impressions.
The Swedes as . nation, retain their ancient
dislike, il not animosity, to the Russians; they
do not however, condemn the cautious, pro.
vident system Of the government, which does
not believe iu the praeticability of destroying
the Russian power in the Baltic. Respsc
fneM-look 70 the end-is a sound maxim for
kings and cabinets. Russian resentment might
be more formidable than British and French
protection eficacious. As to the Danes they
IRE comparatively Indifferent to the war; they
have not the least disposition to take part; they
are not fond of the Russians but they enter.
tain no prediction for the British, and have
not forgotten the bonhardment Of Copenhagen
and the seisEse of their feet. Moreoxer, their
dowsssic discords-the contest relating to the
neutrality-suspicious. over every other
concern. Ny impartial friend infers from his
inquiries and observations in Germany, that
the Germans, generally, ape far less inclined in
favor Of the allies than certain Of their own
journals. and most Of the Britain add French
represent them to be in pursuit Of an obvious
interest. The governments Of England and
France do not attempt 70 coerce Austria and
Prussia, because they have quite enough Of war
their hands, and rely on the mediation Of
those powers for peace, which the vicissitudes,
cost, and prospects Of the struggle may render
desirable for all the belligerents before the next
summer.

The River,

ever, that the food will bring down lots Of pro.
visions and consequently prices will be brought

Hard Times In New Orleans,

On a visit to the city q few days since, we
became fully impressed with the belief that
money is very scarce and times very hard in
New Orleans at present, and we should not be
surprised to hear of great suffering in the COM
mercial community as well as the suffering
WHICH undoubtedly exists among the working
classes, as we are convinced there are = large
number Of mechanics out Of work. We in-
cidentally became acquainted with several cir~
cumstances which spoke Of "hard times" too
palpabls to be mistaken: One was in rather an
upper sphere of life and another perhaps tho
lowest. The first was that of a merchant who
remarked in our hearing to q gentleman who
presented him a bill, that he had failed in bust
ness, and could pay but fifty cents OF the dol
lar. The creditor instantly accepted half for
the face of the bill, and left with q countenance
indicating that he thought himself . lucky man.
The other was thAt of . gentleman whom we
found standing sadly on the banquet. W.
knew him in former days when business was
good. He had aprodtable situation; hi. form
was thsn erect and proud, his hair raven black,
his eyes glistening with buoyaot health and
proud independence, and his dress wa ever
neat and unexceptionable. He was sadly alter.
tered. He was now poor--very ~poor--and .
wife and children were now dependent upon
his exertions. For . long time be had been
unable to get work at bis business; be had no
money as he said, not a cent, on that New
Years morning; he looked like the wreck Of
his former self, and yet there were no traces
Of dissipation in his appearance ; his clothes
were quite seedy and his feet were visible thro'
~crevices in his shoes; and to ado to the melan-
choly look which poverty gives, bis cheeks
were pale and 'sunken, and the black, glossy
hair had now become grey and neglected
Many gay, happy countenances passed him on
the banquet on that holiday morning. His sto-
ry to US was short and meusnful--no work.
no means I; had barely enough at home to eat
on that day when SO mnch would Be wasted
by the rich; and he had then been waiting a
time to collect q small bill from . man,
his fee on which would suffice to support him
the following day. We thought it strange
that such restitution should exist while health
lasted. and the fact that labor would always
find its reward on the levee--but ourself, like
the world, was inclined to Judge too harshiy
The above are but a type Of similar genes
in New Orleans. But like all large cities. mis-.
cry and wretchedness will meet you wherever
you walk in that crowded metropolis; and we
never 60 there that a sadness does not over
come US; and it is with delight when we again
tread the deck of one of our noble packets,
about to start up the coast, to our home 10 the
where scenes such ~ the above are
seldom known, but where, 10 the circle Of. his
own family. one can taste a. much Of content
ment and happiness as is generally allotted 70
man, If his mind 10 not poisoned By the feliss
and hncies Of the age.
