New York Letter. [Special Correspondence Constitutionalist ] New York, Feb. 7. The discordant (‘‘cosmopolitan’’ is the more flattering term) character of the popula tion of the city of New York is a fact generals ly understood ; bat the eiemeats of which it is made up can scarcely be imagioed. The lim its afforded by this letter will permit allusion to few details. And yet it is a subject of rare interest. A volume might be written upon it. It requires a long residence here to detect the influence and even presence of the various “nationalities' ’ which are found in our large and busy population. All nations, climes and tongues are here. I have met, in Nassau street, within a few rods ofeach other, an abo riginal North American ladian and a pig-tailed Chinaman. I have seen, on our wharves, Ma- ( lay sailors and French Canadian boatmen. Under the old regime, the wealthy Knicker- 1 bocker families controlled our city affairs, and were an honor to the Metropolis. In the good J , old Whig times, the Knickerbocker families./; took kindly to New England families who came hither. Abolitionism divided them in 1852, and the steady growth of the foreign < population, whish nearly all joined the Demo- 1 crate,then gave the city to that partyby the then j unprecedented majority'of 11,000. Tr.e foreign , element gives the old Knickerbocker very little 1 consideration, and it may now bo said that ’ c the contest for power in this city is between j the foreigners and the Yankees from New ; Engb. d. Old New Yorkers are not “counted f in” at nil. * * !. is needless to say that we have an im mense population of Irish and Germans. The | late census of this ci'y shows that the number c * of foreign voters was 71,600, against 51,500 f native bom voters, with 162,000 unnaturalized foreigners. But the greatest increase latterly \ has been of English and Jews ; and they are having, by their activity and assurance, a much larger influence on public a flairs than their f numbers would seem to warrant. ' The English, especially, have an almost iq- i satiable thirst for public employment. They [ like good, snug places; and, once getting in, ( are very hard to get out. 1 will do them the 0 justice, however, to say that they make pretty c good public officers, and prefer places of honor ’ to those where speculation is the rule. They ~ have net made much progress in this city as \ yet. It is true, the City Inspector is ati Eng- v lishman ; but through the power of the Stale Legislature, the offices are mainly divided bo ( tweon the Yankees and the Irish. 1 In Brooklyn, however, the foreign elemeni P has a large share in the control of public as- ,| fairs. The Yaukees who live in Brooklyn arc G those who are obliged to attend very closely Sl to business, and generally give little attention to minor politics. The Republican wards arc controlled largely by English, (who naturally ti take a position antagonistic to the Irish Demo- J« erats,) and the Democratic wards by the Irish. 11 The Mayor of Brooklyn is Euglish, the Comp- troller, Auditor, and City Clerk Irish, and the e Street Commisioner Yankee. Os the seven s wards, composing the Eastern District of Brook j lyn, two iiavo English Aldermen, two Dutch, 11 one Irish, and two Yankees. The competito „ at the polls of the present Mayor is a Dutchman, e . (not a German,) aDd a grand Democrat he is t The nature of some of the crimes now bbinp committed in this city and vicinity o the presence of English professionals. Who- s over has read in Dombey & /3on how little e Florence was stripped in the street of her ele J gant clothing and filthy rags substituted, could scarcely conceive, lam sure, that such a crime e was ever committed. Arfd yet it is now ofter 0 * chronicled in our police reports. The adroii » robberies of banks and jewellers that have re . cently taken place savor strongly of Cockney * professionals. They have literally swarmed j here since peace. The most contemptible o h cowards, they nearly all returned to England p when the war broke ont. The English journals have always accused the American people of undue boasting and g exaggeration —a disposition to magnify tbeh v position and office. This may be true. t one who has seen much of both people, I can . say in all that for weak vnmty, re specting public display, the English whom 1 t * have met are most conspicuous. In one case t an Englishman conducting a considerable busi ' ness on borrowed capital, lives in a nice bouse, ( keeps his horse and chaise, and his income i eked out by bis wife working at hoop skirts a- 1 privately as possible. 1 The social organizations of the mascnlincs ( are well supported and attended. The Free , Masons, Odd Fellows and other secret orders of t New York and Brooklyn are grenerally con- 1 trolled by Englishmen. They neglect th | churches and contribute grudgingly to their support. They do not easily get a footing among up, in leading business positions, except such ns their capital gives them. They do net general! adhere to their word sufficiently to gain con fidence. Bnt in clerkships they are largely represented, their plodding character is wel suited to that line of service On the Press of New York city the English have very few’ representatives. They lack elacity and individuality of character. It is to this delieiency tLat the striking inaccuracy of the Engl ah Press is to be attributed. A man, in describing a horse, said he was si teen feet high. He was asked if he didn’t mean sixteen hands. “Did I say feet 9” he replied. “You did.” “Then I’ll stick to it,” was the rejoinder; and he did. So with the English men . No matter how preposterous a statemcn ?, they will stick to the reco:d. I once knew a correspondent of a London paper who would occasionally read to me bis concoctions f< r edification of John Bull; his mirth over his ingenuity was most boisterous; and yet I have afterwards seen these same Inventions the sub ject of grave leaders in the journal to which they were addressed. Such are a few of the characteristics of the Englishmen who, in increased numbers, are now seeking one shores. Unless signs of die times db not possess their üßual significance, the secret service fund of John Bull is being used to control the civil affairs of the United States, and a much larger use of it may be ex pseted so soon as matters become more settled. I have mentioned, incidentally, the Jews, in connection with the subject of the present char, acter of foreign emigration. The Jews do not succeed well with us, and, I believe, have a cordial detestation of our people. I hare philosophized on the subject, and hare concluded that,- finding themselves equal be fore the law, they have no excuse for thoße pe. culiar tactics in business, which are usually associated with them; and, unable to adapt themselves to the altered circumstances, they do not succeed. Ido not think there are as many prominent Jew houses in New York now as there were fifteen years ago. But she longer they are here, and the more they find that absolute honesty is extended to business, the better they succeed. I could name several tMMKTT'J#iP -.Vij'Y” whose reputations for strict w’-ereantile integrity are noksurpassed. There W are a number of Jews on the New York Press, and they are successful journalists. political.

To ebrrobate this statement, wo now have two facts, Secretary Chase's Organs at Washington and Albany have denounced Tbad. Stephens’ attack upon the President, and his amendment to the Freedmen’s Bureau bill, establishing in effect a general policy of confiscation, received only 31 votes in the House of Representatives. I un derstand, also, that Senator Doolittle has made his peace with the less ultra Radicals. BUSINESS MATTERS. Cotton has declined two cents per pound the past two days, under unexpectedly large receipts here aud at the Southeru ports, and dull ac counts from Liverpool. The depression in sterling exchange continues. In general trade there is rather mo[e doing, but no decided activity; aud, on the whole, the complaint is of “dull times.’’ Willoughby. LATEST NEWS BY THE MAILS. GEN. BURLER’s CARD TO GIN. GRANT. New Youk, January 9. —The Tribune’s Washington special gives the following as the true reading of the card returned by General Butler to General Grant’s carte* de invitation to bis rocept : on. “Geueral Butler has the honor to decline the invitation of Lieutenant General Grant. General Butler has now no desire for further acquaints 'aiice. • DECISION Or TREASURER SPINNER The Herald’s Washington special says : General Spinner has decided, in order to be in unitorraity with the ruling of tho Commissioner of Internal Revenue, and with the opinion of the Secretary of the Treasury, to classify re served profits as capital instead of deposits as now. As the duty in both is the same, this will not affect auy banks bo'ding United States stocks less or equal to the amount of their capital. Such banks, however, as hold United States stocks in excess of their capital would be able to deduct the amount of such excess from tho item of reserved profits classified as capital THE PAOIFC RAILROAD. Col. Rowland, in behalf of tho Nertbprn Pacific railroad, notified the government two days ago that the company was prepared, and about to construct the line. Subscriptions will soon be opened throughout the country, and a strong effort made to push the work vigorously. MER-TING OF A BOARD OF ARMY OFFICF-R3. New York, Feb. 9. —The Tribune’s special from Washington savs: A board of office's will assemble at Washington, March 10, 186<5, or as soon thereafter as parcticable, to examine into the following questions: Firstly, what form and calibre of breech-loading arm should beadopted as a model for future construction of muskets for infantry. 2nd, what form and calibre snould be adopted as a model for fu’ure construction of carbines for cavalry. 3d, what form of breech-loading arm should be adopted as a model for the change of muskets si ready constructed to breech-loading muskets. Whoever submits an arm to the above board will be required to state in writing the lowest price at which it will be furnished in the event of its being adopted by the governmsnt. The Chief of Ordinance wiil furnish the board all the information in liis power, and will also provide it with office room, and will also pro vide targets, ammunition, <fec. The report of ihe board will be made through the Chief of Ordinance. Major Genetal Hancock is the senior ollioer of the board. New York, Feb. 9. — The steamer New York has arrived, from Aspinwall the Ist. New York, Feb 7.—Tho following is a por tion of Napoleon's speech to tho Corps L°gis latif, Jou. 22d : To inform you of mv views, as in former years, T will examine with you the principal questions which interest our country abroad. Peace seems assured everywhere, for everywhere the means are sought for amicably nettling our difficulties, in the place of ending them with the sword and musket. The meet ing of the Euglish and French fleets in the same portß had shown the relations formed upon the Held of battle have Dot been weaken ed. They have »uly the two coun tries. Italy, recognized by almost all the powers of Europe, lias strengthened its unity by inau gurating its capital in ihe centro of tbo PciiiD* sula. We may count upon the scrupulous exe cution of the treaty of the 15th September, upon the indispensable maintenance of the power of tho Holy Father. As I expressed the hope lasi year that our expedition to Mexico was approaching its ter mination, I am coming to an understanding with Maximilian for the recall of our troops. North America, issuing victoriously from a formidable struggle, has re establod the UtiioD, and has proclaimed the abolition of slavery. France, which forgets no noble page of her history, offers up sincere wishes for the pros peri'y of the Great American Republic, and for Ihe maintenance of amicable relations with that government, which has had a century’s dura tion. Tht excitement produced in tho United States by the presence of our troops in Mexico will be pacified by the frankness of our declara tion. The American people will comprehend that our expedition was not opposed to their interest. News from Peru states that that country had made an offensive and defensive alliance with Chili, and declared war against Spain. It was hoped at Lima that other South American Republics, especially Columbia, would accede to the treaty. A Peruvian frigate and steam corvette had left to effect a junction with the Chilian fleet. All the Spaniards residing in the province of Lima had received orders not to leave the country, and have their names registered for surveillance. The Peruvian government had also taken other precautions t.t have reprisals at hand in case the Spanish fleet should take possession of any port on the coast, or inflict any other damage. Sailing vessels from the southern coast re port the entire Spanish fleet concentrated at, Valparaiso. That city Is probably thorough ly blockaded, and perhaps attacked by the Spaniards.' The attempted revolt in Panama was frus rated. New York, Feb. 9—A Buenos Ayres crr respondent, writes that the loss of all the Pa raguayan troops that bad invaded Brazil by crossing the Araguay river, was followed by the precipitate retreat to their own territory of all the forces that were occupying Coirionta-. The work of concentrating the allied land and naval forces had progressed so that on the 25th of January they would make a grand combined 1 Hack with 45 000 troops and thirty war steamers on the Paraguayan stronghold of Huawaita, on'Paraguay river. This is a place of immense strength, mounting over one bun died heavy guns and rendered difficult of ap proach by chains extending across the river, and it is supposed bv submerged torpedoes, and having to back it a Paraguayan army of 15,000 or 20,000, and a considerable fleet. The marc h of the allies in pursuit of the retreating Para guayans across the province of Corriontas to ths Paraguay river, thirty miles, through an almost uninhabited country, is described as one of the greatest difficulty and suffering, and hundreds of the troops perished on the way, aDd many others deserted. New York. Feb. B. —At the New Hampshire Democratic Convention, ex-President Pierce made a brief address, in which he said : Our country has passed through serious perils, but I hope that we are now emerging from the chick darkness which at one time brooded over us. The present time calls for the calm, dis passionate aDd patriotic exertions of all good men in the work of restoration, not merely iu form, but a restoration of common interests, fraternal feelings and equality of rights among all the States. I think I can discern a gleam of light. The annual message of President Johnson was admirable, and in my judgment his subsequent, steps looking to a restoration have been guided by wisdom, patriotism, and statesmanship forecast. lam pleased to greet as co workers in a noble cause all men who desire the imtaediate restoration of the South ern States to tfreir civil rights, and who are willing to join efforts in saying whatever may be saved for the prosperity of our rpmtnon country. Under any circumsianeoa it would be abject to despair of the republic. The Treasury Pepartment is about to follow up the circular lately issued, defining the reg ulations for redeeming mutilated currency by establishing a bureau especially for that pur pose. A special to the Commercial saya: The French Emperor’s speech gives general satis* taction. The strictest neutrality will continue to be preserved by our government. The Is sue between Maximilian and Juarez must be alone decided by Mexicans on Mexican soil. i. special to the Post says: The bill passed by the House.of Representatives, apportioning the public lands in the Sopthern States, pro vider for the division of 48,000,00 b of acres of public land into homesteads, which can be pre-empted by freedmen. Toe Judiary Committee of the House will soon report another amendment to the Consti tution, prohibiting compensation for the emancipated slaves in the rebellious States. St. Mary’s, C. W., Feb. 9.—Pnelps, agent of the American Express Company, bas ab sconded, -taking $14,000. He has gone to Europe. Indianapolis, Feb. B.—Generals Thomas and Fisk were detained to*day, en route from Wash ington to Nashville, by missing the railroad connections. General Thomas remarked in conversation that the state of feeling in the South was as good as could be expected, and that the work of restoration was progressing favorably, although it would take many years to efface the animosities of the past four years.
