PROPHECY FULFILLED. It has frequent?}- bren r.-nmrked that Thomas Jefferson were permitted revisit this sublunary world, he would ot recognise the present Dcinoc-atic larty. We have ro doubt but that he •vouid think they were the Federalists ‘till in existence. Be this as it may, towover, he would certainly witness a Host remarkable fulfilment of the pre- liction contained in the following ex- ract from his writings, in reference to foreign element in our Government. J^httjtokingly true is it, that most of the among us have either retained and cherished their monarchical predi lections, or run into the other extreme of Jacobinical “Red Republicanism•” How faithful is the picture of the “ hete^ rogeneous, incoherent, distracted” character of our legislation, which is daily growing worse, and will continue todoso until thoroughly Americanized. We would call the special attention of Democratic editors, office-holders and office-seekers to the following extract from the writings of the “ Sage of Mon- ticello.” It is pertinent and pointed They surely will not denounce him as a ‘‘Federalist,” and yet he was evidently- writing for the Know-Nothings : “ Civil government being the sole ob ject of forming societies, its adminis'ra- tion must be conducted by common con sent —every species of government has its specific principles. Ours, perhaps, are more peculiar than those of any other in the universe. !t is a composition of the freest principles of the English Con stitution, with others derived from natu- ral reason. To the?e nothing can be more opposed than the maxims of abso lute monarchies. Yet, from such, we are to expect the greatest number of emigrants. They will bring with them the principles of (lie governments they leave, imbibed in (heir early youth; or, if able to throw them off, it will be in exchange, tor an unbounded licentious ness, passing, as is usual, from one ex treme to another. It would he a miracle were they to stop precisely at ‘he point of temperate liberty. These principles, with their language, they will transmit to their children. In proportion to their numbers they will share with us the legislation. They will infuse into it their spirit,'warp and bias its direction, and -st heteiogenous, incoherent, mass.” rendjfrU distracted I TO CORRESPONDENTS.

NEW-YORK, Thursday. Dec. 22,) 11 o’clock, A. M. J My private letters by the America contain startling hints as to the future of Europe. In England, in spite of the clamors of the War party, in spite of the immense pressure of popular opinion brought to bear in favor of the war, in spite of the police tearing down the placards of Mr. Bright, and the Man chester folks burning him in effigy, and “Punch” consuming a ream of jest and sarcasm upon the absurdity and con structive treason of any opposition to the Russian War, ‘‘for all that and for all these,” says my London correspon dent, “there is a Peace party in Great Britain, clogging all the ministerial movements, braking even the parlia mentary cars, and making itself felt upon the very throne. This party seems to be increasing in strength, as well it may. Considering the enormous cost of one year’s strife, and the exceedingly small and unprofitable results—looking, too, at the constitutional irritability of the English,and still more, of the Freuch temperameut—and not overlooking the humanitarian progress of the age, which has inculcated peace sentiments, and a horror of war in every Sabbath school and religious association in Great Bri tain, it would be wonderful if there were not a respectable Peace party in that tax-ridden land. ‘•By the way, what a similar bit of history it would make for futurity, to read that the two kingdoms of Great Britain and France, having connived through their ministers to accomplish a great war, were compelled by the Chris tian sentiment at home to forego their effoits, and abandon the enterprise with disgrace.” Thus suggests my Lon don friend, and the thought is as novel as it is striking. My private correspondence from Paris is desponding in its tenor. War taxes and war drafts for recruits are pressing heavily upon the nation, and threatening a return of the old conscript days of the elder Napoleon, when ham lets were swept of their male population, and ploughs were drawn by women. The name of Russia is ominous to Frenchman, as we may well suppose, and the war has never been popular from the firs*. A post-script, acknowl edging receipt of a recent letter of mine, will enlighten your country readers, as to postal surveillance in Franee: ‘Yout of the 16th ult. came to me open, with your neat seal of the torn off. Use plain wafers hereafter for any thing with that device.” The report prevails at Washington Ithat the French and British Minister have remonstrated against the annexa^ Ition of the Sandwich Islands, as in con jtiravention with their treaties with the .native government. for the relief of the children and heirs of Maj. Gen. Baron De Kalb, appropria ting S66,000 for that purpose. It is to be hoped that this long-deferred act of justice will not halt in the Senate, or fail in the White House. Their three weeks’ work may he summed up in the election of a Chaplain and the passage of a Bill for the better preservation of life and pioperty on the coasts of New Jersey and Long Island, the latter by a vote of 126 to 41.’ City news is flat. The scarcity of money|restrains travel to a degree fright ful to hotel-keepers and transportation companies. Our principal hotels here seem like ‘banquet halls deserted.’— About gong-time there is a little attempt at a rush, and for a few minutes, one is reminded of the days when the charge upon the dinner-table was like a bril liant cavalry attack; but it is soon over, and a glance along the line of empty seats at the tables teveals the wide, wide difference. Markets here are still greatly depres sed, and but little promise of improve ment. The provision trade shows but little change for a week past. Vegetables are scarce, and dear in the extreme.— Butter and cheese have fallen, the for mer to 19 at 23, the latter 10 at 23.— Beef at retail :s 6 to 18, according to choice. Turkeys, per lb., 1C at 12.— Chickens, per pair, 50 at 150. These are the Washington Market rates, the cheapest market in the city. The Money Market has been slightly improving for ten days past. No new Bank failures are announced, and no un favorable rumors in relation to New York hanks are afloat. Knick. ty We are authorized and requested to announce J. A.

One fact acknowledged in The (London) Times,\ however it U. S. MEDIATION IN EUROPE.

There are not ships enough to reembark more than half of them at once, and should one moiety, or any other lar'ge portion depart, the Russians would inf-tllibly drive the remainder into the sea ! Their present distress results from the loss of The Prince, with its load of40,000 full suits of winter garments, also, an ample upply of tents, and the catalogue of comforts and necessaries so bountifully furnished by the British Government. Before these stores can be duplicated, how many a squad will be. decimated with ccld and dysentery ! “Asa moral to the whole of this sad affair, let us muse upon the depravity of man’s heart and the incurable ills of war”—thus medi tates my Gallic philosophic friend. Our national legislature is moving its low length along, and effecting about as much as might be expected in these times of political revolution. Hereto fore it has been customary dor the peo ple to look to Congress for their cue, and Congressional caucuses have served as bases of operation to the political mas ses.

I tried to per suaile Mrs. Sarah Venable, at whose door the road turned out, to let me make indication of the fact, that mine was stopped, by a busb or small tree, a hundred yards from her house: but she, unaccouulably and peevishly, would not; and Franklin Venable or John Martin removed every sign ; and thus honest travellers were sometimes deceived to com _ to my unseen fence, aud to loose time in tm.*».ing ikek !
