Apoloot. The editor of the Journal bat

been severely indisposed since Saturday, which will account for the lack of interest in our columns this morning. We hope to be at our post again in a day or two. We are not able to employa tub to keep the machinery ago ing when such mishaps overtake us, and con sequent! y our readers must suffer to a certain extent. (EJ We are preparing with the assistance of a wholesale house in this city, a very full and complete Prices Current, which we shall publish in a day or two. It will be of great benefit to country dealers. ' From Mexic . We are indebted to the clerk of the Saladian for New Orleans papers of the 1st inst. We have no material change to notice in the market. There had been an arrival from Vera Cruz with six days later intelli gence. Ihe following is the most important intelligence received. Prospects of Peace. There is much reason to fear that it would be impossible to assemble a quorum of the Mexican Congress at the seat of Government. The absentees arrive very slowly. The Arco Iris, of the 20th ult., says that at a preparatory meetingof Deputies held atQuerctaro, on the 10th ult., it was resolved 1. That those Deputies who were not rresent should be called upon, and if they still continued to absent themselves, the Governor of the States from which they were elected j-hould be informed, and they should be published in all the newspapers. 'z. mat those gentlemen who answered the first call should be again written to, informing mem mat tne numoer necessary to lorm a quorum is very small, only their presence beine necessarr to complete it. 3. that the substitute who was appointed rom Vera Cruz, in place of Sr. Conto, who was elected Senator, be notified. 4. That the substitute for Sr. Solana from alisco, w ho was chosen to re present Zacatecas. be also called upou. i he same paper of the 17th ult. savs: "Vari ous persons write to us from Queretaro that the disorders committed by the officers are insufferable, and ti e soldiers have become so infected with their prouunciamiento mania, that a certain very well known general, who Dossesses the confidence of the government asserts, thai as 6oon as the Yankees have left, he will pronounce against the Federation.' The i ree American, of the 21st ult., has the ouowing remarKs on the prospects of peace: We see nothing, as vet. to change our oninion in regard to the doubts which we have always manifested about the probability of the ratification of the treaty by the Mexican Con gress, u e announced, a few days ago, that we had conversed with a gentleman from Mexico, who was of opinion that the members of Congress would not vote for the treaty as ratiuvu nosuiugiuu. e nave since seen two etters Irom influential meu one at Queretaro. tbe other at Mexico who coincide with the opinion of the gentleman in question. Another euer says, that should the members of Congress luiaie me vonsuiuuon oi Mexico, Dy ceding anf. .1" ot the territory, the same members will have to ask the United States to Worce of several thousand men to keen order in the Republic. The writer is of opinion that so soon as the American troops will embark for the United States, the Government will be overthrown, and that new causes for war will be given to the United States by the people of this country. These are the opinions emitted by the letier-writers, and s ich opinions are sometimes as worthy of consideration as news paper paragraphs. Our Army in Mexico. The following are extracts from a letter dated "City of Mexico, April 8," to the editor of the N. O. Bulletin. The editor says: "We have seen other com munications which speak in strong terms of the .growing demoralization of our army in Mexico: We are beginning to rean the fruits of the idleness and demoralization which have been growing up here amougst our officers and troops. The robberies and murders, that were prevailing in the neighborhood of the city, are transferred within the wall.and house breaking and robbing individuals in the streets are br no means uncommon. Anv observ 1D. reflecting tvrvin Inner t!nr would have known, that the gambling and debaucheries that prevail here amongst the Amer ican omcers to a great extent, must necessarily terminate in degradation to themselves, and mortification to their.friends. A great resDon eibility rests somewhere, for the outrages that are committed here against the welfare of So ciety. From tho Louisville Journal CQrSome of the Northern Locofoco editors have spirit enough to declare against the reso lutions adopted by the Locofoco conventions in Alabama and Virginia. These resolutions, it will be remembered, pledge the delegates to the Baltimore convention from those States to oppose the nomination of all men for the Pres idency and vice Presidency who do not openly declare their hostility to the doctrine that either Congress or the people residing in territories can exclude slavery from territories. The N. York Evening Tost in noticing these resolu tionssajs: Have those who thus make allegiance to si a very an indispensible qualification for the Pie sidencv reflected that it this compulsive nurea Hon ot the candidate from all suspicion of dis like to slavery may help him at the South it is likely to hi uder biui at the IN ort a? II they in sist upon giving us a candidate with this test in his mouth, cannot thevsee that we shall cer lainlr return him upon their hands? They de clare that they will support no man who does not submit to make the abjuration they require. WE SHALL SUPPORT NO MAN WHO M AKES IT. To insist upon this new qualification for their candidate, is to insist that he shall not be elected. In a subsequent number of the same pinr. the. editor returns to the sub'-., and r We should be glad to -w c.jg what class of people the Southern politicians expect to obtain voir in the Northern States for the cacduUu' comes fettered with such Dted-.e""if tha candidate be a Southern man. it i tri he miizht give such an assurance

without the suspicion of making a dishonest profession; but the invitation to vote for him would be regarded by the Northern Democrats as a direct insult as an assertion of Southern authority, in the imposition cf political tests, which they would indignantly repel. Party attachment will carry men to great lengths.but there are limits to what the most zealous partisans in a free country will endure. The Democrats of the North would say to those who required this ignominious acknowledgement ol subserviency "Go tell your daves how choleric you are, And make your bondmen tremble" but they would remind them that beyond the r.t .1.'

precincts oi tneir own pianiaiious meir prerog ative of authority was at an end. If, on tbe other hand, a Northern man were to take this oath of allegiance to slavery in or der to qualify himself to become the candidate of the South, he would be regarded as one who had made a public sale of himself, lie would come before the people with an advertisement of venality written in staring characters on his forehead, buch a candidate, deprived as he would be of all public respect, and shrinking from the public contempt, would meet with an infinitely worse reception from the people than if be were a citizen oltbe bouth. This is very plain language indeed. It is too iutelligible to admit of misconstruction, and we have no doubt it will find a res ponse in the heart of nearly every Northern man. The editor of the Augusta Age, tbe leading Locofoco paper in Maine, in the course of some indignant remarks on the resolutions of the Alabama convention, says: Such arrogant assumptions will wholly fail to remove from the minds of Northern men the strong aversion now entertained towards the Institution of slavery, and cannot fail to react upon those who indulge them with fatal effect. The Democracy of the North will go into that convention upou no terms of inequality. Nor will they cousent to have their representatives or other members of the party proscribed and excluded from posts of honor or influence, in consequence of having given free utterance to the sentiments and principles ot the ftortti upon this subject. The New York Globe, another streng Loco foco paper is fierce iu its opposition to the resolutions. It declares: The South will have to abandon this rickety platform. Tbe idea that the sovereign power as regards slavery in territcrt resides exclusively in the slaveholding postion of the Union and that the Northern section of the confederacy, the people of the teiritory, or the people of the whole Union, through Congress have no voice in the matter, will never stand lor a moment. The South, so far as Alabama, South Caroli na, and Virginia are concerned, assert that they will not abandon the "platform" they have proposed, and that if tbe North refuses to adopt it, they will not co-operate with the people of that section. On this subject therefore the Lo co focos of the North and South are at logger heads. One of the factions must back out rom its position, or there must be discord. We shall seewmcti of me two exhibits most facility in the very fashionable business of crawfishing. On the "vexed question of slavery it is ex tremely probable the Locofoco national convention will exhibit much 'discord. The ul tra Locofocos of the North and South cannot easily unite on any cindidate. The sentiments of the leading Presidential aspirants are well known, and not one of them comes up to the full measure of pro-slavery faith required by Alabama resolutions. Messrs. Cass, Dallas, and Buchanan have all committed themselves to doctrines that are repudiated as utterly un sound and unconstitutional by the authors of the resolutions. If the delegates from the States that have adopted the resolutions abide by their instructions; they must protest against the nomination of either of the prominent as pirants. On the other hand, to nominate a candidate who will endorse the doctrines con tained in the resolutions will be the sure way of driving from the party thousands of men who are not willing slavishly to comply with the Southern dictation. Under such circumtam e , the Locofoco convention will proba bly experience great difficulty in its efforts to hunt up an "available" man. Some of the Locofoco editors are giggling over the prospect of dissensions among the Whigs, If they wish to amuse themselves with party distractions they can do so to their hearts' content by looking iato the condition of their own party. There never was a party in which there more adverse currents of opinion than in the Locofoco party at the present time, and the prospect is that the confusion, instead of giving way to peace and quietness, will become worse confounded. - A Friend's advice. A prudent and well disjHsed member of theSocieiy of Friend,1' not long since gave the following friendl) advice John," said lie, 'I hear thou an ifo'njjtobe mirricd."

NEWS BY THE AMERICA. Austria, it is believed; notwithstanding her war like preparations, will be disposed to cede Lombard y upon condition of that country taking a fair share of the public debt, and according to other apparently rational terms. Denmark is reported to have gained a victory in one of her revolted duchies, but Prussia is lending active aid to tbe insurgeants, and therefore there is little chance for her ultimate success, the best she can hope being some arrangement by mediation. Russia (with an available army of 800,000 men) announces ber intention to keep quiet uniess she is attacked, in which case wo betide the "anarchists. Naples has received from her King an almost democratic constitution. The Sicilian question still remains in statu quo. Spain is quiet under the military despotism of Navarez. Germany is busy is arranging her confedera tion, and Italy is conscious but of one public pulse, which beats for an Italian league. In France the elections for officers of the National Guards have just terminated all in favor of advanced republicanism. Meanwhile the financial condition becomes daily more deplorable. From tbe London Herald, April, 11. The Great Chartist Meeting. Thz great Chartist Meetiug was held yesterday, and ' a less formidable demonstration it would hardly be possible to conceive. It certainly did not present any oue of the fearful characteris

tics which the peaceable inhabitants of the metropolis had for some days been led anxiously to apprehend.j Positively in contt-roplating the whole proceedings we wera often tempted to doubt whether the intelligence on which the Government must have acted in this matter was not a hoax, and whether the multiplied unwonted precautions they had adopted to meet imaginary perils could have been anything but a dream. As a display of strength, as a menace to a government and to the quiet inhabitants of a great city, the whole affair was a downright and almost a ludicrous failure. In every redpc; t tbe men and boys who joined in the pro cession to the place ol meeting were as harm less as could well be imagined. Poor fellows! by far the greater portion of them, with their pale faces and puny and ill clad Irames, were calculated to inspire much less of terror than of svmDathv and nitr. and must have impress ed every one who beheld them with the belief that their wants were ofthat description for which legislative changes could not in ths first instances, at least, supply a fitting remedy. We must add, that they all continued most or derly, and seemed to be under the complete con trol of their leaders. Some rain had fallen during the night, and the dawn boke gloomy. At about eight o'clock however, the sun beams visible, and continued to shine brightly throughout tbe remainder of the mornm?. the streets of tbe metropolis presented, atanearlv hour, little bevond their usual appearance. Here and there might bo seen a detachment of police marching to their quarters, or a few special constables hastening to their place of meeting. A few mere sight seers were to be met occasionally; anxious to reconnoitre, en mihtaire, the supposed prepar atious for street warfare. But no such prepar ations were visible; there were neither artille ry, soldiers, nor police stationed in the open air, at any points supposed to be most mena ced. Manv of the shopkeepers, even in the imme. diate neighborhood of tbe meeting, opened . . their shops at the usual hour. A large num ber of them, however, allowed their tears to prevail over every other consideration. The general feelings on the subject of the proposed demonstration to treat the whole affair as a casaof "much ado about nothing,' although this feeling was somewhat checked by the dread of unknown consequences. At the preliminary meeting of the conven tion, only the delegates and reporters being present, Mr. F. O'Conner addressed the body in a pacific strain, insisting on the illegality of Ol tne uovernmeni nonce, out auvising inai r . " r ....... ..'. I... . 1 . no resistance be admitted that the proscssion should be abandoned. After some debate the meeting was adjourned to Kennington Common. The only interruption of peace, even to a partial extent, seems to have occurred in the progress of dispersion, after the meeting on the common. Of tnis the following account is lTenL .. .. .... "Alter tne meeting on rvennington common had dispersed, an immense crowd on their return straggled irregularly along Blackfriars road. Upon arriving at Stamford street, they of course came face to face with the mounted police, who refused them pas-age and ranged themselves across the road. Many strepeous attempts were made by the Chartists to get across the bridge. "As fresh numbers arrived from Kennington common, those in advance were pushed forward but were immediately driven back by th horse patrol without drawing their sabres. Tbe metropolis police made use of their stare, and from time to time repulsed the cowd, which grew thicker and thicker every minute. In about an hour and a halt, however, the mob made many vigorous attempts to force their way through, and notwithstanding tbe cool steady courage of the police, the latter were at intervals seperated. "The special constables at these times were very roughly handled, a great many of them hiving their hats broken and being deprived of their staves. Showers of large stones were every few minutes thrown on the bridge, and the police received many severe blows, but gave more than equivalent in return with their batons. A great number of men who were seized by the police for throwing stones were rescced, and the yells and shouts were . deafening. At half past three o'clock the pressure of the concourse was so great that the line of police was forced, and a greai many of them carried with the throng over the bridge, holding their staves up as they were borne along. . At an early hour in the day crowdof persons had assembled in its neighborhood, and in that of tbe House of Commons, to await the arrival of the procession. Up to twelve or one o'clock very little preparation appeared to have been made for their reception; there were but few policemen about, although we understood that there was a large number quartered in the vicinity the committe-roomsand other portions of the houses of Parliament, and elsewhere. ' But as the day wore on, and the crowd becam more dense, the police might be observed walking about in large bodies compelling the people to "move on a command which was obeyed sometimes: with an ill grace, but in no case that we observed with any manifestations calculated to lead to or which resulted in a breach. ' Westminister bridge was the great point of attraction, as it was apprehended that it would be the scene of any collision which might take place. The report which had beeu set afloat respecting artillery, &c,

appeared to be totally unfounded; we saw no signs of anything of the kind. Shortly before two o'clouk the police began to emerge from their inactivity. A. troop ol thejhorse patrol proceeded tbe bridge, and set about the. task of clearing it. Stationing themselves at the loot of the bridge, on the Surry side, theysucceded in driving the British pub lie somewhat igoominiously, inch by inch, and step by step, completely to the other end. At the corner of Bridge street there were several additional bodies of the force to receive

them, so that the majority hid no resource but to escape up Parliament street, the road to the house being efficiently guarded. A considerable number, how er, continued to occupy Bridge street. They consisted principally of idlers and bad characters, having no political object in view, and employed for the most part in the indulgence of various little popular pleasantries at the expense ot tbe police and the special con stables, the latter being especially victimized in tbi? manner. Ihus the time passed away until the presentation of the petition, which took place shortly before 3 o clock. I be de monstration was not very strong or. alarming in its appearance. It consisted simply of two hackney cabs, containing three members of the deputation and the petition itself. The latter, which consisted of several very ponderous piles of paper, was conveyed by instalments r i i i , i i inio tne nouse, ana aeuvercu over to tne proper authorities. The deputation returned immediately on foot, and was loudly cheered on its way. The great event being brought to a close the crowd began gradually to disperse and in a comparatively short space of time the thor oughfares were clear. A portion of the police, however, remained for some hours on the spot and in the immediate neighborhood. Tbe monster petition has been subjected to a scrutiny by order of the House of Commons, and its dimensions are grievously curtailed by the ordeal. See the following report of the committee to which it was referred. The committee on public petitions. &c. &c. have agreed to the following special report: "Tbe hon. member from Nottingham stated, on presenting the peti'ition in question to the hoyse, that 0,7Uo,000 signatures were attached to it. Upon a more careful examination of the number of signatures in the committee room, in which examination thirteen law-stationers' clerks were engaged for upwards of seventeen hours, with the person ordinarily employed in counting the siguatu.es appended to petitions, under the superintendence of the clerk of your committee, tlw number of signa tures had been ascertained to be 1,975,496 (hear hear, and loud laughter.) It is further evident to your committee, that on numerous consecu live sheets the sina teres are in one and the same handwriting, "Your committee have also obssrved the names of distinguished individuals attached to the petition who cannot be supposed to have concurred in '.s prayer, ana as mile to nave ?- i i . i subscribed it; among such occur the names of her Majesty in one place as 'Victoria Rex April 1, the Duke of Wellington, K. G., Sir Robert reel, &c. "In addition to this species of abuse, your committee have observed another equally in derogation of tne just value of petitions, namely, the insertion of names which are obviously .. i . . i r. u v . i o nose,' and 'Flat nose.' &c. (Roars of laughter.) "There are other words and phrases which, tnough written in the form of signatures, and included in the number reported, your commit tee will not hazard offending the house, and the dignity and decency of their own proceed ings, by reporting; though it may be added that they are obviously signatures belonging to no human being. The reading of this report was followed by a scene between Mr. F. O'Connor and Mr. Crips, a member of the committee. Matters went to such a pass between them that Mr. O'Connor was arrested by the sergent-at-arms, under the order of Speaker, (having left the House with a paiting hinfto Mr. Cripps that he might consider himself challenged,)' but on his bein brought before the house in custody, mutual explanations and apologies were made and the affair dropped. Destitution in the Wett and South. There are mel ancholy details of the sufferings of the poor in the papers received from Mayo, Galway, and Limerick this day. Several deaths from actual starvation are reported, while health from disease?, superinduced by unwholesome and insufficient food, are of constant occurrence. The poor-houses in some parts are represented to be mere charnel houses, full of diseases, and deaths constantly occurring. Poor people requiring relief ere, according to the rules, obliged to enter those frightful buildings where they are tolerably sure of taking the lever which rager in them. Those discharged carry the infection with them, and so pollute whole districts.' '. The fol lowing particulars are really revolting. The Mayo Constitution, let it be observed, is a moderate conservative journal, and here is its picture of the condi -tion of the poor of that country: "The poor are dying in hundreds the dead are huddled into shallow pits, unshrouded and uncoffined the diseased are allowed to die without an effort being made to heal their maladies and thousands o famis'aing wretches are sinking into the arms of death from absolute starvation." Pi.uMt:R or Food. Such being the state of the poor in the county of Mayo, it is Lot to be wondered at that the plunder of food has again become a general oSence. Sheep and lambs are killed and the flesh carried away. The Constitution gives the following "On the 1st inj., th e carts I idea with meal, from Dalina to Fox ford, were attacked at a village called Onloge, by about 100 personx, principally women. ind, ha?ing assaulted the carruTi, they succeeded in carrying off th entire of the loads, amounting to three tons weight. "On the 3d inst, seven carts with Indian meal for the relief of the poor, proceeding from swinford to a very distressed district on the borders of the county ot'&ligo, were attacked by about forty men and wo men, and, having succeeded in cutting tbe bags carried off about 7 cwL of tho meaL None of the parties have been arrested." . The saviaus Baxks. The ptsople have been extensively acting upon the foolish recommendation to withdraw their deposits from die savings banks. On Monday week, in Dublin, large sums were withdrawn and on Monday 11,000 were removed by small de poeitors. , , : . The provincial journals intimate that similar demands on the savings banks in the south and west ol Ireland are made. A circumstance has just occurred in Tralee which will probably have soma effect in stimulating this folly ot the pet -pie. The secretary of1 the Tralee savings bank, after 25 years acting in that capacity, has been found a defaulter. The discovery was made in consequence of mora notices for withdrawal having been served on the treasurer than his cash aud bank stock amouLtxl to The secretary, on being questioned, admitted hi& crime, and stated , that he had falsified the accounts

deliberately for several years. The depositora wil not lose, but the circumstance will shake public confidence in such a tune of .excitement. The Faxxca Rsvotrrroir. The news from the department, says La Presse, is deplorable -meute at tiavre, emtutt at Troyes, disorders at Beziers, in th Landes, Ate; agitation everywhere. Tha mora warmly the departments accept the Republic, the more stiffly do they rise against dictation. .. The Reforme refers significantly and menacingly to alleged intrigues oi counter revolutions. The financial difficulties of the country continued to press heavily upon the public mind, as they did upon the Government itself. . Every practical economy was ordered, and great reductions of the public expenditure bad already ensued. These would ultimately place the expenditure below the income, provided that the revenue could be maintained at tha amount which it reached under the late Government, but the stagnation of trade and commerce precluded hope that the income would continue to be on tbe same scale, while new heads outlay, for the support of the unemployed workmen, and the expsnses connected with the increase of the army and national guard, more than counterbalanced the savings. Our private letters mention a report that the period of the election was to be again postponed. It was said that the minister of the interior is occupied with a pirn for the construction of public baths in Paris, and likewise a national theatre in the Champs Elysees, in which the price of admission is to be uniform, thus establishing the true system of republican fraternity. This theatre is to be devoted to the representation of patriotic deeds. It is stated in the French journals that, besides the principal at my of the Alps, two corps ol observation were tobe immediately formed. One of from 15,000 er 18,000 men on the frontier of the Pyrenees, tho other of lS.OOO men only, on the frontier of the north. The Council of National Defence has just decided that each of the four divisions of the army of the Alps

shall be augmented by a new brigade of infantry. The command of the army will be definitively given to Gen. Bedeau. We learn from Toulon, on tbe 4th of - April, tht t the Mediterreancan squadion has leceived orders to prepare to put to sea. It will sail immediately after the elections, and vill, it is supposed, cruise on the coast of Italy. : ' ' " " Denmark The First Battle The Dixrs Vic torious. The Caledonia,' (s)-.Gibbes, arrived from Hamburg this morning. She brings us the Börsenhalle of the 11th inst., from which we extract the important intelligence subjoined: ' : ' Hostilities have seriously commenced between tha . forces of Denmark and those c-f Sleswick Holstein.. A very fierce battle has been fought near Flensburg, in which the Danes had a decided superiority in numbers as wel 1 as in their cavalry and artillery. The öleswick Holstein army was defeated and compelled to retreat towards Rendsburg. The loss of life has been very great on both sides. The attack began in the morning on the part of the Danes, who had two vessels of War and gunboats to assist their attack on xhe town. They had landed at Holms, and, alter several (mall contests, the Schleswig Holsteiners made a stand at Bau, not far from Fleneburgh, which ended in their total defeat and the destruction of almost all their 16th battalion. Towards 12 o'clock on the 9th,FCvcral vessels of war with 3,000 Danes on board, appeared Jrefore Flensburg. As the Danes now threatened to Lombard the town, the Prince of Noer, the Holstein commander, gave orders to the troops to withdraw, which they did but not until after a'b'ooJy contest, with great loss of life on both sides. The Holstein troops, who are eomsosed of volunteers and young troops, were very eager for the combat, and it is reported that the 16th regiment, which had been almost destroyed, retook a position twice after they had been driven out of it each time. Tbe Holsteiners and their volunteer auxiliaries, among whom were man stulents from various parts 'of Germany, fought with great bravery.
