Europo is full of plots and counterplots, and important changes in Us political condition seem inevitable from present indications. Writers from Europo express the opinion that ■ the reign of the Queen of Spain will not endure much longer. The Spanish people are evidently ■. - thoroughly disgusted with hor dissolute charac ter, and the illiberal prinoiples of her govern ment And tho extortion and plunder of tho people by officials, from tho highest to the low- ' est grades, aro: fast'deslroymg that rorerence for :royalty, and the reigning sovereign, which has long been a notable festnro of Spanish charac ter. For the first time perhaps in the history of the Spanish monarchy, not long smoe, an open, : public insalt to the sovereign was given. The • Queen, on her entrance to the roynl theatre, was . greeted by ( a numerous and rcspcotablo assem blage with a Btorra of hisses. ; It is now said that a wido-spread plot exists ’ among'thu Spanish people to dethrone the Queen, , and change tho dynasty ; and it is farther said that Louis Napoleon is secretly the main instiga tor of tho movement. - Napoleon Bonaparte said that Russia, before many years would possess Constantinople; and that tho Western Powers could not prevent it. Perhaps tho time has arrived for that prediction to to accomplished. Tho vast preparations of • the Emperor for tho approaching struggle makes it ovident that the Western Powers will have to put forth their utmost strength,. or Napoleon’s ■prediction will be speedily accomplished. And in the accomplishment of that prediction . many nations will experience a change of their condition. Should Austria take part with Rus sia the dismemberment of the Austrian Empire will be the probable result. England and Franco have both threatened that, with Austria on the ■ side of Russia, Hungary and Italy must paBS from her sway. Russia, once master of Constantinople, will speedily become one. of the greatest maratimo and commercial nations of the world. .And Eng land, even on the ocean, would soon lose her long boasted supremacy. That commercial find maratimo aggrandizement has.long been tboaim and policy of the rolers of Russia, and the pos session of Constantinople is necessary to itssuc_ cess. Hence the resolute position of the Czar ; and his manifest purpose of risking a general rrar. Territorial extension is one great motise. But the Turkish capital is the great gate through prhioh Eassia must .pass- to a world-wide cotn inerce. The Blaok Sea then beoomes a Russian lake, and the Mediterranean Sea would be ns much under the control of Russian fleets ns is now the Baltic. . A prize more splendid no mon arch ever sought. A prize more coveted .never involved nations in war. And a struggle more deßperato to win s prizo the world has probably never witnessed, than this struggle will be if commenced. In possession of Constantinople the Russian power is planted in the midst of weak nations) and her conquests wonld be rapid and cosy, from central Europe to the Indian ocean, and from Egypt to tho Chinese sea. If the war con tinues and beoomes general; and Russia is tho successful party, the ruler of Russia, a quarter of a century hence, will have under his Bway a * wider and more populous empire than.has ever before existed on earth. . The New York Tribune and , Congress. The above-named paper claims to have a wide iofluonoe throughout the non-slaveholding States of the Union. It aims to lead pnblio sentiment, and. give tono to the pnblio opinion of the conu try. We hope at least that it will not be per mitted to give tone to the preßS of the country, until it employs more civil and courteous lan guage. We are compelled to say, that .It uses more blackguard language,, and moro abusive epithets, indiscriminately and insolently applied, than any other paper wo see. In speaking of tho bill introduced into the U. S. Senate, by Senator Douglass, to organize the territory of Nebraska, the Tribune draws largely on the billingsgate vocabulary, for terms to ex press his wrath against jail Congressmen. Tho ortiQlo is headed “THE RASCALS AT-WABH INGTON;” and starts off with the..following sweet-tempered morsel of great Gotham’s gen tility: i n Jf the scampi at Washington, • who, m a spirit no worthier than that which animated Judas Is tariot,” &e. 1 ' % It thcn proOccds to denounce Congressmen in discriminately, os “the scamps, fools,°culprits, traitors, deliberate- riolotora ot solemn com>. paote; vagabond rcpudiators of cbligatione the most Bacred, who deserve to be roasted by the hottest fires of pnblio indignation ; and hung upon the gallows of public opprobium.”. - That is the language of the.oditor who aims to issue the model newspaper of tho country. We say again; we hope the press of tho conn try generally will never adopt a Btylo so coarse and brutal) The people of this wido-spread republic must ' naturally feel themselves highly complimented when they learn from tho Tnbune that they have eleoted, to represent them in Congress, nothing bntaeet of scamps, rascals, traitors, culprits, and fools —men capable of every species of crime. treaaon, ai&“nationalecaundreliem. n The editor, of the Tribune then turns upon poor old Pennsylvania, in relation to the Erie difficulties; and from the specimens given aDove, our readers may imagine tho -unmeasured abuse with which Mr. Greeley belabors the State that Is the homo of his parents. - 'Wo think that after a few more snoh compli ments as the above from Gothamite editors, Con ' gressmen can do no less than vote for the im mediate removal of the TJ.

We would not like to bo in tbo position of some of tho fionr and provision speculators of this country jnst now. Somo of them have very largo stooks on bands, bought at high prices; and at pncc3 that probably cannot loug ho sus tained, war cr no war. The next steamer may bring news of peace, and then prices go down “ with a ran.” With tho opening of spring tho canals, rivers and lakes will bear forward from tho interior very largo quantities of breadstuff's to the seaboard, and bring down prices by tho very large quantities in the markets. $2,60 per bushel for wheat m New York is a price that oannAt last long. Farmers, and western mer chants, we believe, would do well to sell out and get their pay as fast as possible. Let the loss full on eastern speculators, if a loss must follow. Tho farmers of the west will get a great part of tbo money ; and a few failures of eastern specu lators does the rest of tho world very littlo harm. ‘ Wc beliovo there will bo a continuance of hos tilities in Europe, although of that there is some donbt.

We understand that tbs Gadstloq treaty with Mexico was again disoassed at length in Oablnet mooting yesterday, bat that no decision was ar rived at as to whether it should be transmitted to the Senate or not. Tbe matter is in a com plete fog—all being doubt and conjecture about it. This treaty is said to have caused intense excitement among tho inhabitants of Chihnabna and Sonora. Advices from tho city of Mexico to the 7tb inst. assert that the leading men of those Btates declare that they will annex them selves to the United States rather thaa submit to the Btipnlatiooß. Wbatconrso the Mexican gov. ornment would adopt in this emergency was un known, from tho foot that the ministry was still incomplete. That the manifesto of the Danish and Swedish courts, and the negotiations whloh are said to bo ponding between those Powers and Russia, for the maintenance of the rights of neutral Powers in case of war, may have contributed to this pacific tendency in tho mind of the Emper or, is highly probable. It is certain that inhis political combinations he had ealonlated either on aotive aid from those opnrts, or on each an ostensible neutrality as would have been favora ble to his interests. He had some ground for these expectations, from the assistance and en couragement afforded by him to the Danish king during thoSohleswig-Holstein war, and from the well known friendly disposition of tbo reigning house of Sweden towards Rnssia. These gov ernments have, however, more wisely consulted the Interest of their peoplo than their personsl partialities, whilst at the same time they have adopted the only course whioh could have con tributed to a pooifio result— N.

They never charge IeBS than throe per cent, a month, and often more; The business of two of them, considered first class bouses, it is said, is over eighty mil lions per year, and the daily amounts paid some times reach a million. These houses vie with one another in tbe display of money, hundreds of thousands being exposed to public wcw daring business hours. Gold in slags is tbo principal coin; silver is also used. . Any coin approaching the she of American silver coin passes for as mnch in valuo. Far . instance—a. sixteen cent pices passes for twenty-five cents; fivofraros for one dollar. Thero is no copper; nothing can bo bought for less than ono dime.
