WASHINGTON, July "a, 1859.
1.-THE peace 10 Europe should have the effect Of
....er;pg the normal demand upon the Continent
tor the immense quantities Of merchandise, that
have been exported 10 the United States, for the
,sp.s Of their ususl markets, We shall have more
real occasion To rejoice at the event than many of
tAose who have Played more conspicaou. part in
The recent bloody drama. If this war hss cost
France $3.50 Goo 0O0, or about haf what 1t dld
Eoelard during the Year of Waterloo, we, sho
lye no concern in the sttife, have paid large
rrse AS compulsory contributors, ia the way of
sending abroad our gold 20 purchase unnecessary
Lbrics, and thus depriving our own people Of the
basis which they required for their internal affairs.
Let u.s. therefore rejoice at peace, If this Is to be
one of it's consequences. It certainly becomes us
better than some Of The belhgerenti who rushed
into the conflict zealOusly under the lead OF one
whom they tad always before denounced as the
wcrst Of despots. Louis Napoleon has not beled
tbe character which k0ssuih gave hun before he
consented to become unwlttIng instrument o,
his sinister schemes.
Mr.. Slidel tsrries 10 Louisans before the time
Of his expected arrival here. Although he carried
the day IN the late Democratic Convention, bis
sltimaie triumph as by no means assured. But he
feels less danger from organized force, led by
the ind, cretion Of S"ale than from the natural
sstsDce ~ the monopoly OF p1wer, which be has 80
long possessed. The Democracy begin To weary oi
tlls one. man dominion, aud, if leS 10 themselves,
would coon settle the business. While Sonc st-
tempts 10 shape an opposition, he, and those who
follow him, are charged with being dlsorganiZers,
as Forney and his set ore in PeDnsylv wanna By TINS
means, they are deprived Of q strength which might
otherwise be easily acquired Hence 1t Is toat

eoolness between Mr.. Slidel and Mr.. Buchanan,
which will not soon tbaw into any more genial
warmth. The prOpre OF the former was
offended last session. 10 regard to some small ap-
pOntment--sO much 40 indeed that he has since
uniformly refused to speak to the President upon
spy matter Of patronage outside bis own State Mr..
Buchanan has the singular faculty Of estranging

Of the French Mission being rendered again

q particle Of foundation. The wish may have
been father to the thought.
Ii may be gratifying to the Emperor Francis
joseph TO know that his former subject, Francis

mann had a vigilant eye, with view OF eniistng

the flesh at Washington, and ready 10 serve his
present country IN any capacity, at home or
abroad. Indeed, it may be said that with his
expansive nature be is ready to serve any country

Department Of State followed the disclosure OF
WykOH's appointment, 80 that the secret service
fssd il really indebted TO the newspapers for the
stoppage Of this leak. But GruDd really deserves
we'll of the republic. He has decided several Pres
identsl elections in bis day. He put Mr.. Bu-
