Fifteen Days I.titer from Europe.
By the arrival of the Royal William, steamer,
in 20 days from Liverpool, we have received
, dales from Paris to the 1 nh, London to the 19th, J
and Liverpool to the 30th of September. The
news by this arrival is of great importance, panic- |
ularly in a commercial and financial point of
view.
The passage of the Royal William has been
very boisterous, not having experienced, through- j
out the whole distance, a single fun breeze, except
one day, on the coast of Nova Scotia, when it
blew a gale from the north cast, and another on
the Long 1-land shore.
In spite of tho contrary winds and equinoctial j
! gales, the Royal William proved lie.sell a capital j
sea boat. The only drawback during the voyage,
1 was the great crowd ot passengers, who were so
1 numerous for her size and accommodation, us to
destroy all comfort, and almost endanger health,
but more especially the slioitue-s of the fuel. The
culpable conduct of the directors of the traus-At
lantie Company at Liverpool, cannot be passed
* over in silence. Os this, and of the internal
management of the Engli-h steamers, we shall
* speak at full length in a day or two.
Mexico. —The most impoilant nows by this
arrival are the latest accounts given of the dispo
sitions and movements of the governments of
s France and England, relative to (he blockade ot
- Mexico. \\ e have private intelligence from Pa
s. ris, from our correspondent there, which is par
j licularly interesting at this moment
In the early part of September, Prince de Join
e viHe had sailed for Vera Cruz with a fleet of three
ships of the line, and two bomb vessels, for the
'purpose of reinforcing (he French (Vet before
ilmt ciiy. It is supposed in Paris, and in London,
that the French government have the intention
of possessing themselves of some point d’appui
on the southern continent of America. At all
events the Prince is expected In strike a Mow, it
the Mexicans do not yield, sufficient to permit the
King to refer to it with eclat at the next opening
of the Chambers.
The French blockade of Mexico is creating' a
great sensation in England and Europe. In Lon
don, the press lias lakcn a most active part in the
discussions arising out of the question whether
the blockade is legal or not. The Parisian press,
particularly the republican portion, defend the
conduct of their government in the most energetic
terms. It is remarkable, too, that this defence
should be set up by that portion of the Parisian
press, who are most opposed to the government
of the King. As yet the British government has
taken no active part in relation to the blockade,
but, it is believed, that the outcry raised by the
mercantile interest in London, and other com.
mercial towns, will prevail on the British govern
ment to interfere in some formal method.
The diplomatic agents of Mexico and Bu n nos
Ayres in London, were very urgent upon the ac
lion of the government —and this, in conjunction
with the remonstrances of the merchants, it is
supposed, will be able to effect a chc.k l 0 (he
French policy.
S\ c have received sor,io important facts of the
views ii! - L ,io French,.and the policy of the Mexi
cans.
It seems that Mr. Henderson, the diplomatic
agent from Texas, was in France in the month of
August or September. In Paris, we learned that
he had effected a commercial treaty with England.
As soma us this important [mint had been effected
in London, Mr. Henderson proceeded to Paris to
ncgoeiale a similar treaty there. While in Palis,
the news of the blockade of Mexico gave a new
view to the position of affairs. It was supposed
that if Mexico did not settle her differences with
France, that by some secret arrangement, the Tax
ians would attack Mexico by land, simultaneous
ly vvitli the attack by lire F encli Heel by sea. All
that the government of Texas wanted to raise
10,000 men in the western estate; was a sufficien
cy of money. This advance might be made by
France on a secret treaty, giving great advanta
ges to the Tesians. On the other hand, the dL
plomatic agents of Mexico and Buenos Ayrc.m
governments were ton idle in England. It was 1
currently staled in the best informed circles in
London, that preparations wc-ro made to attack
French commerce by sea, as soon as the first in
timation that a gun had been tired on tSan Juan
do Ulloa, or whenever Mexico had declared war
against France. Swift sailing vessels were rap
idly preparing on the Thames,on the .Mersey, and
at Bristol, ready 1-sue at any moment, and to
act under letters us maique from Mexico or Buei
nos Ayres. The diplomatic agents of hath these
governments were very busy in perfecting these
means of retaliation —and it was believed in Eng
land, that in the event of an open rupture, the
French commerce on the Atlantic would suffer
very severely.
In every point of view, the affairs of the block
ade of Mexico and Buenos Ayres were beginning
to create a great imbroglio among the govern
ments ami people of France and England. AL
ready it has created more passion and virulence
between the press of London and Paris, than any
other question has done for the last lew years.
I’his depth of interest is augmented from ti e in
terference the blockade occasions to very impor
tant commercial interests.
Progress oF the West.
The value of the agricultural products which
annually descend the ri er Mi issippi, is estima
ted at seventy millions of dollars. Ii appears from
official documents that the value of the properly
annually transported on the Eric Canal of PJcvv
York is sixtyiseven millions of dollars, paying in
tolls to the state treasury $1,611,000; but wo pro
sumo this amount comprehends the value of all
the goods transport nil each way.
In the year 1708. when an assessment was
made with a view to the levying of direct taxes by
the general government, the property west of the
Alleghany muun aina in states and territo ies of
(ho American union, was valued at only twenty
six millions; the same district is estimated at the
present day to contain properly of the value of
twelveTiui'rdred millions.

will co-t forty eight millions when finished ; a
wonderful amount, if we reflect on the recent set

j The following is an extract from a letter from Sy- |
rin, in the Southern Religious Telegraph, dated !
| Beyroot, March 15, ISOS:
“I mentioned on a former occasion, that an j
attempt had been made by an Irish gentleman to !
i explore tbo Dekd Sea, but he was taken sick and !
died. The attempt had been renewed by a Mr.
i Moore. He applied to the government of Jerusa
lem for leave and protection— not getting what he
j wished he applied to still higher authority and
jas I understand to ihe Viceroy of Em pi. After
! wailing and trying for six or cigh' ■. m bs, and
| perhaps more in vain, he had to a' ' n the at
: tempt. The Talks have u strang, o:,willingness
!to giant such requests. They make a kind of
j merit in refusing permission in such eases. It is
much to be regretted that this la-1 effort lias fail,
