Great fearrtre entertained that the treaty will be rejected by the Mexican Congress. OCT We are really rejoiced to hear that our good friend Chandler, of the Evansville Journal, ha been so successful with his excellent and spirited sheet during the last year, that he has been compelled by his increasing business and the warns of that nourishing community, to issue his paper daily, instead of tri-weekly. The daily sheet is to be considerably enlarged. May success attend him. Louisville Courier. We thank ourexcelleut friend Haldeman for his good wishes, and beg leave to inform him And thepublic'that, after trying the Daily for a week, we are satisfied it will succeed. It was not to be expected that we could from the very start -make the Journal all that such a paper should be. There are a thousand little arrangements necessary to the successful issue of adai ly paper that require time end experience to make, but which we are fust accomplh-hing, and in a short time hope to be able to announce our entire success. So far we are greatly encouraged. Our merchants, mechauics, and tradesmen, hare been mostlibhral in their ad. vertising patronage, and we are promised still greater increase in that line while our subscription list, both to the daily aud weekly paperis increasing beyond our most sanguine expectations. In fact our citizens of all opinions seem pleased at cur success, and trilling to aid us by their smiles and their patronage. When such is the case it is a pleasure to work for the public, and such we esteem it, aud we are determined to labor, unremittingly, for the good of our city and our patrons. When all our arrageraents are completed, we ihall be able to present a daily sheet that will stand second to none in the West, no, not even to those beat of papers, the Louisville dailies; and we know when, we accomplish that we will receive the. fqppprt of every man in the community. For that we. are striving and are determined to win. Sun Mary Process.

So it seems that the reporter of the Union old a copy of the treaty for publication. The Union does the confidential printing of the Sonate and is the President's oficial organ. The Louisville Journal says that when the PreHclentattemptedtogive.ihrugh Mr. Nugent a mortal stab at Mr. Buchanan for the crime o furnishing 9 copy of the treaty for publication probably he little thought that the act would be brought home upon his own organ.

The Foreign News et the Sarah Sands. The Louisville Journal of Thursday, copies at great length the -interesting news brought by the Safah Sauds. Its length and the late hour at w hich it came to band prevents our publishing it to-day. We hope to receive in time for Monday's paper, the later news brought by(the Acadia, which we shall give in full. The following is a synopsis of the Sarah Sands news for which we are indebted to the Louisville Journal. The people of Austria and Prussia appear to be satisfied uith the substantial concessions they have heretofore gained, and are making no further efforts against their respective governments. Their satisfaction with what has r en achieved in behalf of political liberty and right affords strong grounds for supposing they will continue to conduct themselves in a manner which will justify the wisdom of the concessions granted to them. The reforms already made should be taken advantage of the people should thoroughly adapt themselves to the new order of things all that has been gained should be suffered to mature and produce legitimate fruits, before any farther steps are taken towards the establishments of governments more republican in their structure. Let the people of these countries so conduct themselves as to prove that they are worthy to be intrusted with the difficulties and perils, as well as the blessing', of self-government, and they will advance surely and safely in the path of political regeneration. The Duchy of Schlesing has declared itself independent of Denmark, and the King of Prussia has given his sanction to the cause of the revolutionists by sending a force of twenty thousand men to their assistance. This is an event utterly withont precedent in Prussian history. Never before did the government of that country give its sanction to the doctrine which teaches that people have a right in a struggle for freedom to rebel against their king and declare their independence. The pretext is that Schlesing is to be annexed to the Germanic confederation and thus strengthen that

body of states which Frederick William is am bitious to unite under one general govemmeut with himself for Emperor. Whether the pretext will be considered by other crowned leads as an expation of the crime of 'sanction ing rebellion for political rights remains to be seen, The most important events are the move ments hi relation to Poland, and the success of the Lombardo-Venetian revolt against the Anstrian Government, A war, of which illfated Poland is tobe the field, seems ineviatable. The German rulers are m favor of the reestablisdiment of Poland thereby Interposing an intermediate kingdom between Germany and Russia; while the Gejman people are in favor of the movement because they despise the op pression with which Russia bears down on the. oles, and sympathise deeply with the oppres sed. Nicho.as is preparing himself for the strife, which there is abundant reason to sup pose will be a most bloody on?. The different states of Germany have long regarded -the over shadowing form of Russian despotism with se rious dread, and have feared that some pretext might arise to bring down on them the ru le and almoit Innumerable cohorts of the Czar in a war waged for their spoliation. By espous ing the cause of Poland, and striking a blow for the rcregistering'Qf bcrnarnc among the em pires of the world, they pre aware that they will be sustainad by the sympathies of all Europe, and, if need be, by the armies of France, Switzerland, Belgium, und probably England. The effort making in favor of the resurrection of the buried nationality of Poland will pro bably involve Europe in the flames of a general war. Russia ii a most formidable power, and in the conflict for perpetuation of the infernal outrage committed on Poland toward the close of the last century, she will have no ally. Every kingdom in Europe, from Turkey to Great Britain, is interested in lessening Russian.influence, and. if a general combination be eutered into, Russia will doubtless be vor3ted in the contest a consummation most devoutly wished for by every true friend of the human race. Charles Albert, of Sardiana, has warmly espoused the cause cf Lombardy, and we feel no doubt that success will crown the efforts of the insurgents, aud that the Lombardo-Venetain provinces will be detached from Austria. France stands ready to assist Charles Albert, and will pour her armies into Italy, if their presence is required. On the whode, the horizon of Europe is dark and angry with the portents of coming war. The war will be watched with intense eager ucssfrom this country, as there will be a new element in it to contradistinguish it from former European wars, namely, a popular ele ment, overriding the mere question of the boun dary lines and sceptres, will work out results of incalculable importance for the good and the glory of the peopl .

RECENT ?E VENTS iS' EUROPE.

The Louisville Journal of Wednesday has along article under the above head from which we extract the following. It is eloquently written: The American revolution threw a bright bow of promise across the clouds in the political firmament, and on its gloriousarch millions have looked and- sighed and hoped, until at length their hopes are melting intofruilionand their vagucdreams are becoming fond realities. The great and essential truths asserted by our forefathers in legislative council and conteuded for on every red field of battle from Lexington to Yorktown, namely, that men are brothers and entitled to equal rights and that governments are to be tolerated only when they do not interfere with life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, are becoming the fundamental articles in the creed ofall the thinking men of Europe from the Black sea to the base of the Pyrenees, and fiom the shores of the Baltic to those of the Mediterranean. Over these vast regions, where despotism has reigned unquestioned for centuries, men are everywhere rising to claim their long lost rights, and millions of unshackled hearts are now making the heavens vocal with the stirring hymns of freedom. On the 22d day of February last, Europe was hushed in profound peace. It was not the tranquility of hope, but the stagnation of des pair. The fearful heaving of no earthquake of popular passion then rocked the thrones of that continent. Each despot clutched his spectre firmly, while before him stretched a glorious panoramic view of the splendor, the pomp, and the rcageantry of power which the future would open up to himself aud his posterity. The stars looked serenely down on vale and field and thronged city. There was uoastrologicsign in the heavens portending the downfall of dynasties to startle monarch on the soft couches on which they reposed. The shrewdest eye whose vision swept the skies could discover no cloud frowning even in the, most distant part of the horizon from w hich soothsayer could foretell that a desolating whirlwind was marshaling its energies for a conflict that woold shatter systems mantled with the ivy of ages and smeared with the sacrificial blood of millions. Ihe door of the temple of Janus had been shut for more than the third of a century, and peace seemed to promise that her olive-branches should long remain unwithered. Such was the condition of Europe on the anniversary of that glorious day on which was born our political savior. One short month passed away, and what a change had it witnessed! The oldest dynasties in Europe had been rocked violently to and fro by the volcanic energies ol the people rosolved on achieving their deliverance from the old bondage. Royalty in some countries had fled from its palaces, and everywhere it was appalled nd supplicating safety. Its armies had refused to do its bidding, and, fraternizing wilh the people, uhited with them in demanding the most thorough reforms. Monarchs shivered and were pallid with fear as the w ild huzzas of their subjects reached their ears on w hich no sounds but those of adulaiion had before fallen. The people, inspired with new life, everywhere rose in their majesty and demauded extensive concessions, and emperors, kings, and potenates, who had previously derided such demands, made hot haste to grant them. The millions, who, since civilization began its proud careet.!"' nroj. had buaa&rauud down to the dust under the relentless heel of oppression, were emancipated from miserable letters on which the rust of antiquity was thick, and felt for the first time the glorious thrill of freedom tinglingalong each tiny nerve. Thus hi one short month was accomplished a revolu tion in the relations of rulers and subjects such as the most ardent supposed would require an age to bring to profecliou. What makes this month ot womiers still more remarkable is that its mighty events were wholly unexpected. While no traitors were plotting treason against the State, while no whispering conspirators were meditating on scenes of blood, a revolution took place with out any preliminary crimes. This revolution too is the mightiest Dy lar mat ever snooK me foundations of European society, and yet it was brought about without premeditation or concert. It was as it soma wiiduream ol tne morning had been suddenly crystalized into truth. The French revolution was wholly extemporaneous. The gods, designing the de struction of the rulers, had demented them, but that was the only preparation for an event that promises in Its results to eclipse all oilier events, aud to make by far the grandest page in the great epic of our race which is to be completed when "i?u:i3 and stars shoot niaJly from their spheres. M ; On Sunday morning, a million of Parisians awoke, the subjects of Louis Phillippe, withont a suspicion that the foundation of monar chy was thorougiily worm-eaten and insecure; and yet, before the chime of the vesper bells had summoned the gratclui to prayer on the ensuing Saturday evening, the citizen Kiug of Fraqce had abdicated in terror, was an exile from the Tuilleries, and making exceeding haste to escape beyond the borders of that country to which for eighteen years he had been deeply and designedly a traitor, while his throne was in a thousand fragments, and the brilliant dynasty he had for ytars been striving to build up for his family was an absurd and cast off vision ofa foregone time.The four weeks which succeeded the events in Paris arc without parallel. Among all the wonderfut deeds recorded in authentic or in fabulous histor. imona'l the n.ijhty achievements of demigods and heros ot the ancient world and the varied facts that have marked the history pf Europe since the star of Rome went down iugloriously in a cloud of blood and infamy there is no event which even foreshadowed the great popular achievements that have just taken place m Europe. So strange is the spectacle that Juvenal himself would b puzzled to decide whether it should most command the tears of Herculius or the derision and broad glee of Democritus. Thrones reeled without a blow, and the oldest aud strongest and most dreaded governments in the world, whose history ran back to that of the imperial Caesars, tottered and fell before the brea'hof a mob! There is nothing in history so startling iu its grandeur and so admirable in its simplicity as that. Three short months ago, Louis Phillippe, the super-servicable, thoujjh brilliant and profound, Guizot, and Metternich maintained a correspondence remarkable for its cool audacity and spledid arrogance, in which they proposed to extinguish the flame of freedom that blazed on Mount Blanc and threw u radience over the pleasant valleys Switzerland. Little then did these arch-plotters of despotism suppose the sands of their political existence were so near fun put. They have now all fled from their homes, and are in exile anddbgraee.loathed by all." How lightning like in it- speed i the retribution that Heaven sometimes visits on guilty heads! 'The hoary Boutbqn, on whose head rested

he frosts of70 winters, flying from Paris; the

Old and heartless and cunning Metternich campe ring from his palace in Vienna, the Olympus from which he had thundered his decrees for nearly forty years; Ferdinand of Austria granting his subjects whatever they demand; Frederick' William', of Prussia, anxious to do every thing his people had the heart to require; and the mediatized Princes, the Kings, the Dukes, Potentates, and other rulers throughout the Germanic confederation suddenly relaxing their severity and becoming obliging to the last degree, are scenes which must employ the pens of historians, philosophers, satirists, and bards, and give birth to chapters of prose and cantos of song such as have not hitherto delighted tha minds of men. In this grand and varied scene the King of Prussia plays a conspicuous and ludicrous part. There is no proclamation or record so marvellous as that he signed in"the night between the ISthandlöth of March, 1S4S." In this remarkable paper he exhausts all the affectionate and smooth words in the language. After many such honeyed phrases as "my beloved citizens," "faithful and beloved citizens," he says: "Your affectionate Queen, your true mother and friend, who is bent dowrn with severe sickness, unites her earnest and tearful prayers wilh mine." What a scene! The king of Prussia on his knees begging his beloved citizens, not subjects, to pardon him, imploring them in the name of a sick queen to forgive him, for employing his soldiers, who had been kept about the palace to guard that musty and dingy old precinct of despotism, to put down their insurrection. Beseeching them to forget w hat has happened "for the sake ot the great future, w hich by the blessing of God, is about to dawn on Prussia and Germany!" The pathos of this proclamation is such as is w holly uuequalled in the annals of imperial rhetoric. Thus implored, of course the fiery Berlinese make truce wilh their terror stricken King, the soldiers are banished from their presence, and they are granted a great triumph. Thanks to Frederick William forthat lesson! The Prussians will never forget it. They will never again become the slaves of despotism, to its knees. Hereafter when they want reforms they know how to obtain them. Is there no Aristopanes, no Moliere to paint the scene presented on that memorable night, and to give it a permanence in comedy, such as it is destined to enjoy on the tablets of the graver muse of History? The king of Belgium acted a noble part. His conduct became him as a man and a true sovereign. Leopold instantly acknowledged the supremacy of the people of Belgium, and ordered his mmisteis to grant whatever they asked, not even excepting his crown. He freely acknowledged that the Government was the rightful property of the people, aud added that, if they desired a republic, they should have it. The philosophic historian will be called on to trace these grand and glonouseveiits to their causes. He will find tlut, during the long protracted peace of Euroi, the people had en joyed time to think. War is the greatest ol all the disastrous calamities that alnict nun kind. Its destructive intlcnces on the mind are more wasteful than its sacrifices of life. It is aud always has been the leading agent in producing despotisms of church and state. Under the shadow of peace all those sentiments, affections, and doctrines erow up which bless our species. Let Europe maintain peace, and hencttortu relortn will louow rctorm until the political tniilemum dawns on a nappy world. Above the cracking of thrones, the shiver ingof sceptres, the tumbling down of old and rotten dynasties, and the mighty huzzas of the people, one glorious truth rises in grandeur and celestial beauty: It is demonstaated that the radiant ionn of liberty need not be baptised in blood before temples and shrines can be erected in her sacred name and her devotion becomes the lawful worship of ihe heart. Long may her altars exist and her temples be undesccrat ed by scenes of anarchy, if the people are wise enough to abolish war, that great device of the devil for the enslavement of the human race. Santa Anna's Farewell Address. Santa Anna when on the poiul of embarking from Mexico, published a long farewell address to his countrymen. We give the opening and the closing paragraphs: Antonio Loptz dc Santa 4tiin, General oj Division, and vcll-dcscrving of his Country, to his fellow-citizens: Mexicans! On the point of leaving my beloved native country, in order to seek in a for eign land the quiet of private life, 1 must ad dress you for the last time, to explain to you ihe true causes which have constrained me to condemn myself to a voluntary ostracism. In debted to the Republic for a thousand sponta neous acts of honor, which have inscribed m name for ever iu her annals, 1 am bound to give her satisfaction at the time of parting from her, in the ma-t disastrous moments in whichever nation was seen, and when foreign hands are tearing the ensigns of our sovereignty from the immense territory which cowardice, egotism, and peifidy have placed in their power. Those who can look into futurity know lhat those fears which have haunted my mind will be realized, for when the limits of the neighboring Republics are once extended to the heart of our dominion, we lose forever the equili brium; ana through an error in political calculation the war has been terminated, and witli it all hopes for our children. The nun of reflection sees with dread that this unfortunate people is prescribed from the catalogue of nations, and that the generation whicii saw llu struggle of its independence will assist at its funeral. I have therefore desired and sustained the wai as the only mean of existence. More has already been granted than the enemy demanded, and our children can from this moment say that they have no future and no country. The lovers of humanity and of justice have raised their voice, even in the American Capitol, to warn us of the immense danger we run. Fatality and the rancor of party, egotism, and treachery have prevented our listening to thosr echoes of truth, and an extemporaneous treaty has deprived us of the advantages which we could derive by suffering a little longer the evils of the war, and by showing more firmness to meet emergencies. The state at which matters have arrived renders my person no longer of any use to my country. A peace to be forever execrated has been granted, and two-thirds of the national territory has been f old for a dish of Until i. A s!minerul and absurd armistice has been sanctioned to consummate the iniquity. What course, therefore, remains, citizens, for him who only returned to his country to satisfy the public wishes and to fight in support of the noble cause against the foreign enemy? What is he to do who is pursued in every direction? Retire to a distant land to bewail iuynense misfortunes of the Republic, since political pass-ions an 1 paltry interests luve succeeded iu exalting themselves over the holy cauc of the count rv,
