EUROPE The tenor of the recent ndvtces from Europe is such as to make us look for the next arrival with more than ordinary interest. They will probably bring us the result of the Presidential election in France,—the action of the Frankfort Assembly, (representing all Gcrmanyjon the execution of one of its members, by the Imperial Authorities in Vito mei and, what is perhaps of more importance than all, the result of the content between the King of Prussia and the Assembly. If the King succeeds, as appears most probable, the reactionary party all over Europe will have,gamed the ascendancy, anti the further progress of revolution may be consider ed aaarreatol This result will have been brought about by a want of a fixed and definite pur pose on the part of the people. The communists of one sort or another, have frightened very many of the middle classes—republicans in principle— mto the Rapport of - the old government, as giving greater promise of security to the fruits of industry, than any likely to be established during the present oommotions. The existing armies, too, are, as snob bodies usually are, "true to their salt.' They will uphold those who feed and pay them. Nev ertheless, the existence of a free press, and free discussion, even for but a few mouths, have awe. heard ideas and sentiments which can never die. Revolutions do not go backward. The onward progress may he retarded; it may even seen, LO be arrested, but onprovement is a sure mull in the end. It is difficult, at this distance, to pronounce cons gamily between the contending parties. Our deep est sympathies ore with those who are endeavors tog to secure for themselves equality of political rights But it: iu obtaining these, there is danger that the subversive doctrines of cornmumana should gain the navendant—that the idle should be placed an the seine footing as the industrious—then may the . m 0.4 ardent friend of progress be well excused for pausing.. Whether there is such danger in Germany we cannot any; but it appears certain .that the "re fiction," as it is called, Ands friends among many of her most influential citizen.— Looking over the whole ground, we cannot see Low permanent and stable repose is to be obtained with the existing princes. Let them premise what they may, their hearts will still be hankering after the old fleshpots. They will constantly promote dissension for the purpose of returning to the old rule of the 'divine right.' If the people are so wedded to monarchy that they needs mud have it, better far they should choose a king from amongst themselves. He may perhaps acknowledge the sovereignty of the people, and consent to govern "by them," as well as "for them," which one of the old "by the grace of God" functionaries, we are of opinion never, in good faith, will do. The editor of the American having received a check. to his wholesale appropriation of telegraphic news, without giving credit, procured at the the expense, and by the enterpnze of others, lets shp no opportunity to manifest his petty medics at this paper, and in doing this, he no wholly regardless of the rnah. In his paper of yesterday, he copies an article from our paper, dated Hanistisrgh, Dec. 6 and appends the following remark: 'The above is ander the telegraphic head to the Gazette of this morning, and we insert it for no other purpose than to give our friend atlas Gazette the credit for it, having given the full proceedings in our paper of yesterday, which we received by mail the day before—too days in advance of our neighbor's telegraph magnetic.' We admit the article in question woe . tradel . the telegraphic head, but it was not published as telegraphic information, as the editor of the Amcor , wan knew, when he made this despicable effort to deceive his leaders. Immediately under the tele graphic heed was the following announcement "The Eastern Telegraph Line has been out of order since Saturday, which preventiour reoeiv lag the markets, news, Ste."

Our Book 'rabic 'Tux Tausuar or HISTORY, being a History of the World; comprising a General History, both Ancient and Modem, of all the principal Nations of the Globe; their rise, progress, present midi ik.c. By Samuel Maunder, author of the Treasury of Knowledge, dce. With numerous engraving. To which is added, A History oldie United Siete., to 1848, edited by John Innen.. Esq., including the late War with Mexico. In two volumes. New York. Printed by Harper dc Brothers, kir the Publisher." These large and beautiful volumes contain a well-arranged and succinct History of the World. somewhat on the plan of Tytler, bat brought down to the present time. They give first, as is stated in the preface, a general sketch of ancient and inn• dem history--a rapid and comprehensive bird's eye view of the rise and progress of nations, the most important incidents of their career, and their relations to each other-, and after this, the author takes up the nations separately, furnishing a con , CIEG digest of all that it is important or desirable to know concerning eael, and thus affording a sort of key to the changes and events that were more briefly indicated, rather by their results than by their incidents, in the general sketch or OUOlne. Thus the salient points of history are brought with in a manageable compass, and the foundation laid for a more thorough survey. In its typography, and binding, the work is cred itable to the American publisher, and will make a fine addition to any library. The agent of the pub. higher, Mr. George H. Warner, is at present at the Lemartme House, in this city, and will wait upon our citizens with the work. It is not for sale at lhe book shores. A army cciumrsicut. cm-I.—Some enterprising cIUMIS or Clevelan'd and _Albany, have purchased 1400 acres of land lying on the Niagara river and Tonawanda Creek, in tile village of Tonawanda, for which they have paid 559,000, and are now re calving proposals for the construction of docks, e 4 evators, ware houses, kn., necessary for the pun poses of transhipment. Tonawanda is twelve miles from Buffalo. It has a fine and commodious harbor, with excellent an chorage, and ample shelter for thousands of ves sels. The harbor is easily and safely made in bad weather, and with winds that would prevent yes• eels catering Buffalo.; It has a good site for a town and for business. As a rival for Buffalo it will hardly be very for addable. Tass.—Advtees from Galveston to the 21th nit have been received at New Orleans. The following from the Western Tel., speaks more for tlus humanity and noble conduct of Gen. Taylor in - Mexico than the loudest praises of our Own citizens The people in the neighborhood of the Missions of San Juan, San Jose and Espado, composed 11- most entirely of Mexican citizens, voted tannin. mouldy for Taylor. Some 'important errors, by the compositor, affects usg the sense, having crept into the remarks ap pended to the communicaucin of "Truth," in refer ence to the Ohio Legislature, We republish them oorrected. The Detroit Advertiser, o( Dec. 1, says that Gen. Huen Baitoy, the honored and vraposorn soldier, has been stripped of his commend, by the Loeinfoeo administration.

The;discovery of such large qntitia of gold is California appears to have sharned the oboe,- 'lotion of niimerologista all over the country, and enables them to make new discoveries of the pla ces of deposit of the 'root of all evil.' To say no thing of the discovery of a new and rich vein of gold in Virginia, we have now to add the discove ry of a - mine in Connecticut, near Bridgeport.— The mine is in the town of Trumbull, and was, we are told, disosvered by • party of young men hunt ing rabbits. Pun, it seems, took refuge in the rocks, and while attempting to dislodge her, a piece of gold as large as a buck shot, was found, and on closer search, numerous other specimens, pure as mint drops. As the Connecticut farmers have all their work completed, a full eupplyof diggers can be had, who will 'speak a, they and.' A gentleman from California, who reached this city, this morning, gives additional facts in relation to the gold fever, and makes it certain that the Cal ebrnie deposit is a reality, and that all has not Irene told in its favor yet. He brought some of the gold to Mazatlan, from whence large shipments of Mex• can gold are made, and whore people know the quality of the article. He was told there that the specimens were worth 515 50 the ounce, which is almost the value of Mexican' doßbloons As nu. memos inquiries are mode ad'icl the hest way of getting to CaliGarnie, the followrng account may , possess some interest. Passengers who are in haste can take a steam ship at New York and pro ceed to Chagres, from whence the distance news, the isthmus is sixty miles. The fife forty miles is performed in canoes, on the Chagres River, sad the remaining twenty on mules. The passage up the river is tedious; hut when coming this way the traveller does not find the Journey dull Aller crossing the isthmus, the steamers of Messes As. pitmen carry passengers to San Franconia to a short time. ft I, cow stated that a steamer called the 'Ortia' has been purchased by Messrs Aspic. wall to run on be Chagres River, and that the passage across from the Atlantic to the Pacific cean will be made in about sax hours, and with as moth warntort as passengers have in crossing the Allegheny Mountains, specially to the winter sea son. The proceeds of goods shipped to the gold re gioo are as large as the profits on the altipnient of warming pans mode to Cliba, by Lord Timothy Dexter ' ' of eccentric memory. An account sales of six dozen shovels, coating SO to New York, gives a return of 54,000, at lariat the shipper says such is the fact.

The report of the Secretory at the Treasury and the Message of the President continue to advance stocks, which close firm. Treasury Notes sell at 1061, and the Loan of 1869 at the same.

Our Board of Health has had a second meeting to consider the Cholera subject, but their determin ation remains unknown. The city is filthy as a kennel, and the weather warm as May—two facts that make it imperative upon the city fathers to give us a clean city, and thus stay this loathsome and fearful disease. There are many who still doubt the presence of the disease., and among them phyamians of reputation: , tiiit it is here, doubu to the contrary notwithstanding.

THE OHIO LEGISLATURE The contest now raging at Columbus, is one not merely of local, btu of general concern. Every c.• risen of the Union is deeply inte estcd an the tnumph of law sod order, to every section of me tmuutry, antipwe are all bound to tintlenumd the arounds-of 'livery controversy before we express an opfnam on its tnents. The question In Ohio seems to be whether the Legislature has We constuntionsi right to sep state Cincinnati from klanaillon county, in the op. pontontrtent of Itcpresentsuva. The consittett:m sort, "the representeuv shell be apporuoned aMong the several count according to the number of wilt!e tohnbitante melt: Again it says,Qrepresestatives shall be chosen an nually by the AIIIEOII 0( cud. annoy respeenvely ' This certainly seems to forbid any election by a ray alone. In this State, Philadelphia elects reprlesentatives bat there is a provision in the constitnnon. that "representatives shall be chosen by the citizens of the city of Philorfripliut, and of each county re spectively." But it may be thought that the Legislature could create a new county out of Cincinnati and some adjoining townships, and give n representa tives. This, ,however, cannot be done, be.- cause the constitution of Ohio provides that no new county shall he created out of • old one. so as to reduce the latter to less than four hundred square mile., nor shall any new county of less than that extent be established. It doea seem to ow that the Whigs of Ohio clearly in the wrong, it 1 underatand the mats and I throw oat these suggeattona to elicit Mee The question in one threatening much evil, the merits of the case should be understood, and the wrong does, whether Whigs or liernc
