CCrThe news which we publish in another column is highly important, and will be read with great interest. It is to be feared that all Europe wild, soon be in a state of conflictA Vo2D to BusisessMen. At the urgent solicitation of many of our business men, and in accordance -with our own opinion ot the propriety oi th; movement, we send forth today the first number of The Evansville- Daily Journal. There never was a time when public expectation ran higher in trad? than at present; when competition was so great, and when those in business were so constantly watchful of every turn in trade to take advantage of it. Asa contemporary justly remarks, "things aint as they used to be." The increase of business the bustle of competition, and the care with which goods are selected, as well as the new styles and textures that are daily coming into use, naturally awaken great interest in town uad country, and all eyes are turned to the newspapers to learn w here the best and cheapest goods can he bought. That purchasers are influenced by the liberality displayed by merchants' and manufacturers' cards and adver tisements in newspapersnone will doubt, and those who are most liberal in that way are known always to have the largest custom. ' Things aint as they used to be." "People are not driven to the necessity of giving a mer chant their custom or doing without whether he solicits it or not. No! He must step forward. Hang out his sign in glaring capitals and through the newspaper tell the public of his exertions in their behalf the excellence of his stock his reduced prices, and his determination not to be out done in any thing in the line of trade." These facts are known to our merchants and mechanics. They see this course pursued by those with whom they trade, and by those with whom they are competing, and the policy of the course is too obvious to escape their attention. The Journal now offers advantages to advertisers never before enjoyed in this place, and second to none in the State. The remarkable low rates at which we have put our weekly paper has swelled our subscription list beyond what it ever was, and it is increasing daily, Our weekly issue is now over eighteen hundred, and advertisers have the full benefit of the Weekly paper as well as the Daily. These are facts which we deem necessary 'o be known to the public, and which we ar satisfied will at once lead to a liberal use of oiir coluinns,aiid through their use to the benefit of all concerned. A letter from Paris, written on the 19th March, says: "On Monday next the workmen ia the mint of Paris will coin 12,000 five franc pieces in the name of the French Republic. The coin will be like the pieces called Siercules, a model of the year IV, with the date IS IS. The oiily change will he that, instead of the words Garantie Rationale, on the edge, the device adopted will be Dieu protege la France; (God protect Fiance.) Louis PhiLiPPE' Debts. A good deal has teen said about what the ex-monarch owns, but the following is all we have seen as to what he owes: "The Paris correspondent of the London Atlas says: 'Louis Philippe has quitted the country , leaving behind him 825,000,000 of debts, his custom being to pay his creditors but once in five years. It is the third year only which is now clasping.' " (Q-The residence of Mr. Robt, Barnes was entered through a window on Friday night last by some one, and two gold watches and chain stolen. Our city is full of thieves and citizens should be on the look-out for them. Proceedings of the Court of Inquiry. The examinations before this court have reached such a length that we shall he compelled, much against our inclination, to cease their publication after to-day. We could not, were we to devote our whole paper daily for two weeks, place our readers in possession of the evidence that has already been put on record, iid the end is not yet. That portion we give to-day is highly interesting. Gen. Scott shows him self equally as expert in cross examining a witness as iu thrashing Mexicans, and has come as near annihilating Maj. Burns as he did Santa Anna's army. CCS" The Court of Inquiry has adjourned its sittings to the U&jted States. Gen. Scott was hourly looked for atKew Orleans. C3We desire to call attention to the advertisements of Messrs Allis & Howes. Their house is too well and favorably known to require more of us. Country Merchants visiting our city never think of making purchases before calling on them, and then they often foret to call any w here else.

A letter has been re ceived by Rev. Mr. Marsh, of New York, from the reat apostle of temperance, Father Matthew, which states that he is forced, by circumstances, to postpone his visit to this country until fall. He will visit Rome first, and New York in September. Clerkships at Washington, Within the past week there have been about fifty persons appointed to clerkships, principally in the bureaus belonging to the the Treasury Depart ment. There were a huudred and fifty applicants for every vacant desk. Gen. Scott in Pennsylvania. The Iiarrisburgh Telegraph states that delegates to the Whig National Convention are nearly all chosen in Pennsylvania, and fully twot'iards will be for Gen. Scott, and nobody else; while' the balance are divided between Clay and Taylor, say 6 for the first, and 3 for tho last named. New Fact inTelegrphing.

Distressing. We find the. following item of news in a Southern paper: "An earthquake occurred lately in Mexico, and all the potatoes anu pancakes were swallowed up in the market. The ninth regiment of Uncle Sam's infantry were stationed close by. The Favorite Grandson of New York.t John Van Buren, son of the ex-President, has been nominated by the democrats of Erie county, New York, as a candidate for the Presidency. Murder.

The steamer Maid of Osage a packet on the upper Red river, sprung a leak lately, and sunk in eight feet wafer. The boat is a total loss. . Her cargo, consisting of 220 bales of cotton will nearly all be saved. No lives lost.' CCOn of the New York auctioneers sold last week 6,000 pieces of Woollen cloths, in 000 lots of ten pieces each, in three hours. The proceeds of the sale amounted to 200,000. The goods probably cost three mills to which they belonged 8-30,000, perhaps much more. They were manufactured within the last three months. (GT'The intelligence from Mexico which we copy from the New Orleans Picayune, of the 13th, may not be news to some of our readers, but it is important and interesting nevertheless, We have had no opportunity of publishing it sooner, owing to our not issuing a paper on Saturday. Cdf Negotiations for a new telegraph line between Boston and New York, are now going on, between the indefatigable O'Reilly and individuals who stand ready to take the stock at once. The reason that Pat gives for desiring a rev olution iu Ireland is, that they may have a Provisional government as they have in France Ireland, he says, has never jet had anything but a starvaiionul rule. (X3T"The. Telegraph line is in operation between Dayton and Richmond, Ind. The Transcript says: "In a few days we shall have a streak of lightning from Indianapolis." fXSThe Germans in New York, continue holding meetings in behalf of freedom in "faderland." They have raised two thousand dollars for the widows and orphans of those who fell iu the recent struggles in Germany. fXThe Boston Traveller relates that a druggist who has of late years been induced to advertise, findshisbusinessan J profits quadrupled, last year his profits were twenty five thousand dollars. CCT It is stated by the New York Courier des Etats Uuis, on the authority of a letter received by the steamer Washington, that Louis Phillippe will come to this country for the purpose of fixing his permanent residence here.

Gen. Qcitjian. A personal friend of this gallant officer, informs the St. Louis New Era, that it is the design of Gen. Quitman to resign his commission in the army, and resume his former professional pursuit. Gen. Quitman adopts this course, from a conviction that Mexico will ratify the treaiy even in its modified form; and that his services jii the field will not be again needed. The Mail Contracts. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, of Monday, says: "The Postmaster General has succeeded this year in letting the mail routes of the middle States at 100,000 less than the last year. This is a saviog of one out of seven hundred thousand dollars, or equal to above 14 per cent. Several Railroad companies, that have stood out, have come in on the terms proposed by Mr. Cave Johnson, and the department will go on perfectly smooth in a short time. With these savings, the speedy introduction of the cheap uniform postage system is reduced to a certainty.

The Milanese, after a bloody battle, obtained possession of the city. The King of Hanover has acceded to all the demands, and obligated himself to submit to the bitter necessity of calling Annatrick, a liberal deputy to the Cabinet. It is expected that the Emperor of Austria will be compelled to abdicate the throne. The Emperor of Russia has ordered the army to desist from bloodshed and anarchy. He . has refused to recognize the French Republic. The King of Naples has yielded to all demands made upon him by the people. Great excitement prevailed at Paris, occasioned by difficulties between the ricn and the poor the former having been compelled to bar their doors, and the military called out to suppress riots. It is expected that the Emperor of Austria will be compelled to abdicate the throne. The King of Naples has yielded to. all demands made upon him by the people. The failures on the Continent continue; among which is named the Rothschilds. This is doubted. The Polish revolution is confirmed. 400 Poles left Pau to join their countrymen at Ge noa, who had declared themselves seperated from Sardinia; for the purpose of establishing a republican government. By this arrival there is n? later intelligence from Enlaud or Ireland. SIX DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OP THE STEAMSHIP SARAH SANDS. Auslrians expelled from.

The Liverpool Chronicle, once of the most important and influential papers north of London, not a radical, not a virolent paper, but one that enjoys the respect, confidence, and liberal support of the community has an article upon the birth of the young princess, which forcibly illustrates the change that has taken place in the practical loyalty of the people. We make an extract, as follows: "Great and Important News." All London was thrown into the agonies of excitement on the morning of this day week. The Park and Tower guns were fiied. A Gazette was pub lished, announcing "great and important uews. Wondering thousands rushed to inquire about the intelligence so magnificently communicated, when, O! for the essence of anti-climax! it was not exactly parturit mons et nacilur ridiculusvius, but still it was only to tell the world that another buby was born into it.

New York City Election. The result of the city election, says the Tribune, turns out better than was expected, and altogether it is a substantial Whig victory. Common Council Elected. Aldermen, 10 Whigs, 8 Locos; Assistants, 9 Whigs, 9 Locos; Whig majority of two in joint ballot and as no remqvals can be made without the concurrence of the two Boards, the city government will remain Whig as last year. fXjpWe have seen in several papers in the last day or two, the letter of Cassius M. Clay, addressed to the Hon. Henry Clay, the most bitter, malignant, attrocious and contemptible document ve ever saw in print, We cannot and will net soil our columns with it, but our readers no doubt will see it in the columns of the locofoco papers not in all of them, for there are sone we hope that will scorn the document and the author but they will see it nevertheless, and then they will think of the writer as we think of him as a malevolent, depraved man, without one christian feeling, and "from the necessity of his nature" a dog.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE QUIRY. COURT OF EX- ' Eighth Day. i March 24, 18-18. Proceedings of previous day -read Major uurns caned ana amy sw orn. Cross Examination by the Prosecution. Did the witness himself see the military operations described in Leonidas, or obtain any particulars., orally or otherwise, from Maj. Gen. Pillow? A. On the 19th, I saw a portion of the operations; I was on the field of battle on the 19th; I was not at the battle on the 20 th of August. General Pillow requested to have the question limited in its application to Leonidas alone. General Scott requested that the witness might be addressed through the Recorder. Q. Did the witness hand the Leonidas letter in person to Maj. Gen. Pillow; was it opened or sealed ; and was there no remark made to Major General Pillow as to the question? A. 1 cannot say that I handed the letter to Maj. Gen. Pillow to be forwarded, and, therefore, there could not have been any conversation on the subject. I wrote the letter, enveloping it, and I think directed it ; it is seven months since the thing was done, and I said yesterday I took no copy of the letter. Q. Were there few or many opportunities, ending the armis'.ice, for forwarding letters to the United States? A I cannot say whether there were few or many; I believe there were few; I have heard of the British courier of subscriptions by officers for sending off their letters of pri- j vate expresses; I cannot recollect into whose hands I placed the Leonidas letter for transmission. Q. At whose instance and for what reason was the address to the editors of the Union, Washington, D. C, first cancelled at the top and then at the bottom of that letter, and that of the editors of the N. O. Delta substituted in both places? A. tne words were cancelled, at my own instance, and the reason was to give it pub licity. Q. Would not the letter have had equal or greater publicity ll published in the Washing ton Union? 4. -1 do not know the circulation of either of those papers. Witness was here shown paper marked No, l, ana men remarked, .1 nave never seen it." Q. Was uot the true reason for changing the address ot the Leonidas letter this finding that the twin paper to the Leonidas letter was not likely to go through Mr. Freaner : and if so, did you get the suggestion from Gen. Pil low, or from whom? A Idjd not, sir I never saw this papernever knew ol its existence, untu alter 1 had sent the other letter. Q. Did the witness mean to savthat, with out the special authority or the knowledge of uen. rillow, he went into his private ofhee or apartment and purloined thence an important paper or copy of one? A. I do say that I did enter the office of Gen. Pillow without his knowledge and tooka copy of a paper I have alluded to in my former testimony. Q. Did Gen. Pillow, upon his having missed the paper, or learning that the witness had copied it in August last, make inquiry into it, and rebuke cr pardon him for so doing? A. I have never heard of his having missed the paper; I did not take it out of the of fice; 1 know, nothing about the matters in the remainder of the question, and cannot answer it. Q. As the memory of the witness seems excellent in some particulars, will he try to rally it, and and answer the latter part of the last question. A- I never heard any conversation oa that subject ; I do not know that he did. Q, Was that paper from which Leonidas was copied, lett by Gen. rillow in ttie usual haunts of the witness designedly or not, in or der that he might take a copy of it? A. I am satisfied it was not. Q. Was that paper found on the private table of Gen. Pillow alone, or mixed up with other papers. A. I took no particular notice of that fact; it was lying on his private table. Witness was here requested to read paper marked No. 1, by the Judge Advocate. Q. Was the paper found as heretofore stated by the witness, a copy with or without interlineations, identically or substantially the same as paper marked No. 1? A. I cannot say it was; I stated yesterday it appeared to be a p&rtial memorandum report ol the operations oi las command on the lJih or 20th of August. Q. Did the witness do more in respect to the Leonidas letter thin copy (address and all) the paper found in Gen. Pillow'sprivate apartment or office? A. I did. Q. In whose quar.ers or office did the witness write or copy theLeonidas letter. A. I have stated berore,that in Gen. Pillow's office I took a partial copy of the memorandum or report. Q.-When did the witness write or copy the paper, article or letter, signed Leonidas, and in what particulars did it differ from the paper from which he copied? A. I have stated that I copied it in General Pillow's oihee, 1 cannot point out the differences, never having compared the Leonidas letter with the original from which I copied it. Q. Was the witness secure against the interruption whilst copying the letter in Gen. Pillow's office, or did he feel secure against it? A. I never was interrupted in any way in particular. Q. Who called the attention of the witness to the interlineations in the twin paper before the court, marked 1, and were the same interlineations in the paper that witness accidentally found? A. They were notThis is the first time that I have ever seen paper No. 1. . Q. The witness is again asked if the interlineations in paper No. 1 were in the paper found in Gen. Pillow's office? A.- I cannot say they were. Q. When did the witness make the interlineations in the Leonidas letter or were they copied from No. 1? A. They never were copied from No. 1. I have said I never saw the paper No. 1, until to-day ; this was made after the letter was written. Q. The witness answers the interlineations were made long after the letter was written. No doubt; but how long after, and at whose suggestion? A. I cannot say how long after, but they were made at no one's suggestion. Q. Did the witness write the Leonidas letter at one sitting, the interlineations and all, or at several, and did he show it to any one in its progress? A. I did not show it to anybody, I believe, lhave no recollection of it. I wrote it at different times. Q. How many different pens and shades of ink did the witness use in writing the Leonidas letter, interlineations included. A. I cannot say, I sometimes wrote with a steel pen, sometimes with a quill. Q. How many different hand's-writing can the witness write for the body of a paper and for interlining that paper? A. I write severaldifferent hands. I write a hand sometimes my most intimate friends cannot tell? my hand varies very much, it depends upon the pen I write with. Q. In writing the Leonidas letter, did the

witness consider himself historiographer of Gen. Pillow? A. 1 did not. " Q. Has the witness been indemnified in advance or by promise, by any army officer foracknovvledging theauthorship of the Leonidas letter in the face of the general regulation of the

army relative to prohibited letters, reports, &c A. He has cot been promised any inuem nitv. Q. The witness says he has not been prom lsed any. Slate whether he has received any A. "I never asked any promise. I have never received any indemnity: if. it had been offered I would have scorned it. Q. Has the witness, since the printed copy of Leonidas appeared in this capital ever denied the authorship of it, or any knowledge of it? A. I never have ; if I have, it has been in a jocose way. Q. What hand has the witness had in cer ain pa pers got up for signature in the late hird o r Pillow's division, for presenting sword to that general, or in anotner paper in relation to a personal conflict between a Mexi can officer and the said general, in the battles ot Contreras and Churubusco, - or in a paper concerning a general address to the said ril low in reference to his conduct on those fields and at a Cbapultepec? A. 1 had a hand in that paper. I drew up that for presenting a sword to Gen. rillow I know of no paper in relation to a persona conflict between that general and a Mexican officer. I know of no generaL address re specting his conduct in the battles iu Mex ico. Q. Was the paper alluded to submitted to Gen. Pillow. Has not the witness written a letter or letters other than Leonidas, for pub lication, as nigrily laudatory ot Major Gen Pillow; and has not the witness shown one or more such letters to the said Pillow in manu script, or forwarded, open, one or more such letters through him for publication at home with or without his, the said Pillow's, correc lions or approbation? The witness declined to answerthe question and appealed to tne court. Gen. Scott rose and said, in substance The court will see the bearing of this question I am sure it is pertinent, and lam willing to state to the court, iu the absence of the wit ness, the full bearing of the question. The wit ness has shown nohesitancy in acknowledging i ue aumorsuip oi one letter, witn tne repuia tions staring him in face, for the benefit of the delence. Gen. Pillow rose and said in substance: That the court has seen the latitude given to this examination, and I rise to make no obiection, but it would be apparent to any man not Diinctea Dy passion, tnat many questions have been asked the w itness highly reflecting upon omcers oi tno army. He said he hoped he was not to be held responsible for all the letters written. by Major Burns during the cam paign. Major Gen. Scott then said, in substance He had now to state to the court that it was his design to impeach the testimony of the witness, by showing that he had been in the habit of writing letters highly laudatory ofMai r.- t:ii i " . i J vien. i mow, ana transmitting tnem open through Gen Pillow, and that the probability was he had done so in the case of this, the most important of these letters. That this was a court of inquiry, and required to ascertain facts bearing on the case, and he apprehended that the witness would not be more criminat ed by acknowledging having written several letters of a laudatory character, than by having acknowledged this one, the "Le onidas." , The court cl sed for deliberation, and on being opened, decided that the question should not be asked, providing the witness stated that by answering it he would criminate himself. Upon this decision being made, the witness declined answering, on the ground that by so doing he would criminate himself. Gen. Scotthere read the Regulation 262, and said that the witness had acknowledged certain acts which he would not here characterize, and it was to late to set up the plea of loss of character, etc., after having.with great willingness, acknowledged the Leonidas letter voluntarily, for the benefit of the defence. Gen. Scott w ished to'submit argument to the court, which he desired should be placed upon its record. Court adjourned. Ninth Day. March 25, 1848. The court met pursuant to adjournment. Members all present. The proceedings of the two previous days were read. Maj. Gen. Scott submiited the following in "Major Gen. Scott, present before the court of inquiry as the prosecutor of certain charges against Maj. Gen. Pillow, and the said Scott being engaged in the cross-examination of Paymaster A. W. Burns, a witness lor the defence, respecting the allegations against the said Pillow, of writing and despatching, or causing to be written and despatched, for publication in the United States, a certain letter signed "Leonidas, of the authorship of which letter, since published, the said Burns had recorded himself to be alone responsible, without the agency or the knowledge, at the time, of the said Pillow and the said Scott seeking,and not doubting, by facts to be elicited in the cross-examination, to impugn and to impeach that declaration of the said witness, by showing his habit of communicating his newspaper puffs to the said Pillow caused to be put to him from the record of the court, as the first of a new series of crossquestions, the following: 'Question of the Prosecutor. Has not the witness written a letter, or letters, other than "Leonidas," for publication-at home, highly laudatory of Major Gen. Pillow, and has not the witness shown one or more such letters to the said Pillow, in manuscript, or forwarded, open, one or more such letters through him, for publication at home, with or without his, the said Pillow's correction or approbation, "Whereupon, the said .Burns; hesitating to answer that question, the said Pillow rose in support, by argument, of the hesitancy of his own witness, when, partly before the court was closed to deliberate on the objection, und partly after the court had publicly announced itsdecision that the witness would not be compelled to answer the interrogatory, if he should say that thereby he wouldcriminate himself.and when the witness hadactually made such declaration, the said Scott, on the two occasions offered to the court, substantially, the"following remarks, or suggestions, which he is to reduce to writing and place upon the court as his argument and protest against the said decision. . "Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Court: "It is now too late for the witness, whose memory is so fresh and minute on one side of the case, and who is mere non my recordo on the other, to decline answering the question upon record, lest it may criminate him; for he has already acknowledged himsi If, at the instance of the defendant, and for his benefit, whose witness he is, guilty of the published letter, signed Leonidas, and the penalty of that single admission, if prosecuted, and not pardoned, is the loss of his commission; for the writing of one such letter is as fatal as the writing of one hundred, the denunciation of the President's general regulation, published in orders. Jan. 28, 1847, being that "Private letters or reports, relative to.military marches and operations are frequently mischievous in design, and always disgraceful to the army. They are, therefore, strictly forbidden; and any officer found guilty of making such report for publication, without special permission, or of placing the writing beyond his control, so that it finds its way to the press, within one. month after the termination of the c.mpaign to which it relates, shall be dismissed from the service.'

"The official disgrace of the witness is therefore complete. "And, M. President, it is now also too late for him to set up the possible loss of private character, against answering the same' question as to help the defence, when under examination in chief he has further acknowledged; upon the record of the court, that he" had purloined, from a private apartment of Maj. Gen. Pillow, an important paper, or clandestinely made a copy of such paper. I must, however, bow to the decision of the court, and conduct the future cross-examination of the witness as well as I may. , "Respectfully submitted. Mex. Mar. 25 1848.
