I have been absent a treat portion of this time, on a

with suitable machinery for this business, to its highest
perfection, as will be acknowledged by all who have used
them, both in durability and quality ofCotton.
1 shall now devote my individual attention in the shop,
and see that every part of each Gin is put up in the neat

as well as that of Houth Carolina in every instance except

WEEKLY
CHRONICLE & MI
MISCELLANY.
Mr. B. P. fcniLLABEB, of the Botton Poet,
(the ha morons auther of the “ sayings and doings”
of the renowned “Mrs. Partington,”) has just
published a small volume of “funny” verses,
from which we extract the following characteristic
specimen :
YOCNG GRIMM.
Old Grimes is dead, that good old man,
We ne’er shall see him more,
But he has left a son who bears
The name that old Grimes bore.
He wears a coat of latest cut,
Bis hat is new and gay;
He cannot bear to view distress,
Bo turns from it away.
His pants are gaiters, fitting snug
O’er patent leather shoes;
His hsir is by a barber curled;
He smokes segars and chews.
A chain of massive geld is borne
Above his flashy vest;
His clothes are better every day
Than were old Grimes’ best.
In Fashion’s courts he constant walks.
Where he delight doth shed;
His hands are white and very soft,
But softer is his head.
He’s six feet tall, no post more straight,
His teeth are pearly white;
In habits he is sometimes loose,
And sometimes very 41 tight.* 1
His manners are of sweetest grace,
His voice of softest tone ;
His diamond pin's the very one
That old Grimes used to own.
A dickey tall adorns his face,
His neck a scarf of blue,
He sometimes goes to church, for change,
And sleeps in Grimes* pew.
He sports the fastest 44 crab '* la town,
Is always quick to bet;
lie never knows who’s President,
But thinks 44 old T p.’s ’bin yet.
He has drank wine 3 of every kind,
And liquors cold and hot;
Young Grimes, in short, is just that sort
Os man old Grimes was not.
Shopping not Always Buying. —A shopkeeper
in London was lately fined for following a lady
into the street, who had purchased nothing,
and insulting her by saying that he believed she
had only come to steal, and had no intention to
buy. It appeared in evidence that the lady
wished to match a piece of goods, but that the
shopkeeper referred to had not the article she
wanted. It appeared also, however, that iemales
frequently consumed the time of storekeepers and
their clerks, by asking to look at goods, but with
out any intention of purchasing. This fact was
deemed, accordingly, to mltigate the offence of the
dealer, so that he was not punished as severely as
he might have been, though fined heavily.
We fear that London is not the only place where
idle women waste the time of storekeepers. Shop
ping is a favorite recreation with fair Philadel
phians, as well as with their sisters in the British
metropolis, nor are the pretty shoppers always in
earnest here in their pretence of wishing to buy,
any more than there. Some ladies, we are told,
make a point of visiting the principal stores pe
riodically, merely to see what the new styles are.
Others dawdle about the fashionable shops, as
men do about the fashionable drinking saloons, to
muke acquantaincos and hear the lost bit of spicy
gossip. Occasionally, a small purchasfi is made.
But usually, after turning over the finest goods,
antLabsorbing the time of a clerk, the lair shop
per departs making any excuse for not buying
that may chance to come uppermost.
American storekeepers, like Americans gene
rally, are too chivalrous to insult a female for not
making a purchase. It requires the brutality of a
low-bred cockney to vent even natural irritation
in that way. For that dealers frequently become
irritated at such vexa ions demands on their time,
we do not deny; and indeed man would be more
than mortal if ne could endure such annoyances,
day by day, without being vexed. It is to be ro
gretted, however, that the gallantry of one sex is
not repaid by equal forbearance on the part of the
other. American women should not be behind
their fathes, brothers and sons, in courtesy. If
store-keepers are too chivalrous to be disrespect
ful to a female, even though she has tumbled their
goods, and wasted their time, women, on the
other hand, should bo too wc.l-bred, that is, too
considerate of the rights of others, to impose on
dealers under the pretence of shopping.
Wo are aware that it is but a minority which
thus annoys and worries storekeepers. But in a
large city, even a minority is a considerable num
ber. We have brought the matter up before the
tribunal of public opinion, believiug that it is one
of those minor offences which only require expo
sure to be checked. May we not be disappointed!

Steam Fire Engine. —The Now Bedford Mer
cury publishes the following description of a new
steam fire engine which has been introduced in
Cincinnati:
“It is of large size, weighs about five tons,
steam box six feet by four feet, contains two en
gines of two feet stroke and six inches diameter of
cylinder, throws a seven eights inch stream three
hundred feet —\% inch stream 290 feet, inch
stream 240 feet, dead stream, that iSj before it
breaks. It will throw eight streams of %th inch
at once. It is used to play directly on the fire.
“Some objections has been raised by the citi
zens on account of its being locomotive, but now
four horses arc attached to enable the engineer to
guide it, not to draw it, for there is no difficulty
in drawiug it by steam, but as our streets are very
much obstructed by vehicles and passers, there
would be some danger in ‘letting her out.’ W hen
on level street the traces are slack. If necessary
a force 0f75 horse power can be applied to the
driving wheels. Cost about SIO,OOO. This being
the first attempt, it has cost moro than one oan
now be built for, as the expense of patterns would
bo saved. A similar engine would now be built
for about $6,000.
“Ou Sunday it raised the steam, run foursquares
and had water on the fire in just seven minutes
from the lighting of the fire. I saw it working,
when it throw a two inch stream two hundred af
ter passing through about one hundred feet of
hose. It requires only five men to manage the
apparatus.”
Hovr to Make Money Fast and Honestly.—En
ter into a business of which you have a perftet
knowledge. In your own right, or by the aid of
friends, on long time, havo a cash capital suffi
cient to do at least a cash business. Never ven
ture on a credit business on commencement.
Buy all your goods or materials for cash ; you
can take every advantage of the market, and pick
and choose where you will. Be careful not to
overstock yourself. Rise and fall with the mar
ket on short stooks. Always stick to those whom
you prove to bo strictly just in their transactions,
and shun all othors, even at a temporary disadvan
tage. Never take advantage of a customer's ig
norance, nor equivocate, nor misrepresent. Have
bnt one price and a small profit, and yon will
find all the most profitable customers, (the ensh
ones,) or they will find you.
If ever deceived in business transactions, never
attompt to save yourself by putting tne decep
tion upon othors; but submit to the loss and
bo more cautious in future. AcoordiDg to the
character and extent of your business, set asldo a
liberal per coutage for printing and advertising,
and do not hesitate. Never let an artiole, parcel
or package go out from you withont a handsome
printed label, wrapper, card or circular, and dis
pense them continually. Choose the newspaper
for your purpose, and keep yonrself unceasingly
before the public; and it matters not what busi
ness of utility you makeohoice of; for, if intelli
gently and industriously pursued, a fortune will be
the result.
Connecticut Free Schools. —The eighth annual
report ot the superintendent of common sehoola
of Connecticut, which has just been printed, pre
sents the following facts: More than SIOO,OOO
havo been raised by tax in the distriota of twenty
school societies out of the 217 in the State—more
than four times the amount raised in the whole
State iu any one year prior to 1849. During the
year, 288 evening lectures on educational subjects
have been delivered by the superintendent and
other gentlemen. The number ot school societies
in the State is 217, some of them extending over
the whole town. There are 1642 sohool district*:
whole number of children in the State between
the ages offonr*and sixteen, 96,882. The revenue
of the sehobl fund is $143,693, and the rate for
each child $1 35. Number of scholars between
four and sixteen attending school in tho winter,
74,100; nvorago attendance 55,100. Number of
private schools of all grades—winter, 408; pupils
in do., 8,400; cost of tuition, $162,000. Whole
number teachers in winter—male, 1060; female,
730; in summer, males, 670; female, 1020. Num

Websteh.—The Boston Bet, of the 29th ult., is
responsible for the following:
“The disgraceful refusal of the Massachusetts
Legislature to honor itself by erecting a monument
to her greatest son, recalls to memory the lines
written concerning the resting place ot Washing
ton. With an alteration of one line, they are pecu
liarly appropriate:
‘Few columns rose, when Rome was free,
To mark her patriot’s last.repose;
When she outlived her liberty,
The emperor’s mausoleums rose;
And Trajan's shaft was reared at last,
When freedom from the Tiber passed,
‘Better than Trajan' lowly lies,
By Massachusetts' surf bound shore,
Hallowing the green declivities
With glory, now and evermore.
Art to his fame no aid hath lent;
His country is his monument.'”
Moral Accountability of Steamboats. — A Skotoh
newspaper relates the following story:
Three Paisley woavers, whose wives were quar
tered at Uourock for the season, were anxiou* to get
across the Denoon on Sunday morning. Deeming
it a profanation to employ an oared boat for that
purpose, they employed a friend to negotiate with
the captain of the Rothsay mail steamer, “to cast
ont a bit o’ tow and tak’ them wi ! him as he wj«
gaun down that way at onyrate.” “But what’s the
difference, prat !” asked the negotiator, between
being rowed over with oars and by the paddles of
a steamer?” “Difference 1 there’s a hantle differ
ence between rowing by the power of man what
maun answer for what he does, and a water-whee
pnlling us; in itber words, gin ye wad hae us to be
rnair pointedly particular, steam engine's no a
moral being—it’a no an accountable awget t.”
Secretary Dobbin, says a Washington letter,
has made only eight removals of .clerks in all.
Two additional clerks resigned, and two have been
razeed. During the late administration there were
fourteen removals and six changes by death and
resignation. The list of deiks is now composed
of twenty-one Democrats to dighteen Whigs.
St. Anthony’s Falls The St. Anthony’s Ex
press savs that important changes have taken place
on the Falls of St. Anthony during the past two
years. An immense mass of rock about the cen
tre was broken off last winter and fell several feet,
making a sort of rapids, rather than actnal falls in
that part of the cataract. The theory that in coarse
of time the Falls of St Anthony will so wear away
as to become only rapids, seems highly probable
from what is now taking place from day to day.

AUGUSTA. GA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 20, 1853.
RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
The flowing “Circular note,” has been ad
dressed by the cabinet of St. Petersburg to the Min
isters and diplomats* agents of the Emperor. It is
published in the Gazette de St. Petersburg of the
12th ult:
(cibcclab.)
Sib— As the mission of Prince Menschikoff to
Turkey has already given rise to the most exag
gerated rumors—rumors, to which his departure,
and the interruption of relations consequent upon
it, will no doubt, give additional foroe—l think it
is my duty to transmit to you upon the subject
some general information which may serve to gra
tify the false data which may have been spread
about the country in which yon reside.
“I think it superfluous to inform yon that there
is not a word of truth in the pretension that has
been fastened upon us by the newspapers, of aim
ing either at a fresh territorial aggrandizement, or
a more advantageous regulation of our Asiatic
lrontier, or at the right of nomination or revoca
tion with regard to the Patriarch of Constantino
ple, or in short, at any religions Protectorate which
would have a tendency to exceed that which we
exercise in point of fact and traditionally in Tur
key, by virtue of previous treaties. Yon are suf
ficiently aware of the policy of the Emperor to
know that His Majesty does not Mm at the ruin
and destruction of the Ottoman Empire, which
he himself on two occasions has saved from dia
solntion, bat that, on the contrary, he has always
regarded the existing utatu quota the best possible
combination to interpose between all the European
interests, which would necessarily clash in the
East if a void were actually declared ; and that as
far as regards the protection of the Rnsso-Greek
religion in Turkey, we have no necessity, in order
to secure its interests, of any other rights than those
which are already secured to ns by our treaties,
our position, and the religions sympathy which
exists between 50,000,000 Russians of the Greek
persuasion and the great majority of the Christian
subjects of the Sultan—influence immemorial and
inevitable, because it exists in facts, and not in
words—influence which the Emperor found exist
ing in full force when be ascended the throne, and
which he cannot—ont ofdoference to the unjust sus
picions which it awakens—renounce without giv
ing up the glorious inheritance of his august pre
decessors.
This is, in point of fact to inform you how little
founded are the reports which have been spread
abroad of the mission of Prince Menschikoff which
never had any other object than the arrangement
of the affair of the Holy Places.
It would be too long sir, to recapitulate to yon
in detail the history of all the phases through
which this affair has passed since the year 1850.
Wo are satisfied in our own consciences that we
were not the first to raise the question. We knew
too well all the consequences it involved, as far as
the peace of the East was concerned—perhaps the
peace of the world. Wo have never oeased, since
its commencement, to call the attention of the
great Cabinets to the position in which it would in
volve us, and to the grave eventualities which
must arise from it; and the successive develop
ments which it has assumed, until it finally pro
duced the existing crisis, have but too well justified
our sad prognostications.
It will be sufficient for the moment to recall to
your recollettion, that after the first concessions
which had been obtained by France in favor of
the Latins at J erusalem, to the detriment of the
immemorial privileges which had been conceded
to the Greeks, the Emperor—seeing every day
the evident partiality of the Porte for the Latins
leading it to concessions of a graver and still graver
nature with regard to the rights and interests of
the Eastern worship —found himself under the
obligation of addressing the Sultan upon this point
in a serious yet friendly letter. The results of
this step wore the convocation of a commission
composed of Turkish Ulemas, which (occupied it
self with the task of reconciling the reciprocal pre
tensions ; then, after long negotiations, a letter,
in reply, from the Sultan to the Emperor, which
announced the definite solution of the question,
and containing the most solemn promises of the
maintenance of the ancient rights which had been
conceded by the Porte to the Greek communities.
A firman, which contained the details of this ar
rangement, was at the sumo time communicated to
us. At the top of this firman a Hatti-Sheriff, in
antograph ofthe Sultan, acknowledged and con
secrated in the moßt formal manner the anterior
acts, whioh had been conceded to the Greeks at
different epochs had bean renewed by the Sultan
Mahmoud, and had been confirmed by the reign
ing Sultan.
Although this letter and this firman were con
ceived in a spirit which departed in some measure
from the strict statu quo, which he had always en
deavored to maintaiu, nevertheless as these docu
ments appeared t ) the Emperor to satisfy, up to
a certain point, his just solicitude for the interests
and immunities ofthe Greek Church at Jerusalem
a desire of concilliation induced hie Majesty to
accept them. He took official record of them,
so us to give them a solemn and definitive value.
In the presence of these categorical documents,
officially communicated at the end of a long ana
painful negotiation, the Imperial Government had
certainly a right to consider that a discussion,
from whioh its moderation had succeeded in re
moving danger, and which left the Latins in pos
session of new advantages was forever closed.—
You know that, unfortunately, thiß has not been
the case.
I should be carried too far if I related here ail
the acta of weakness, of tergiversation, and dupli
city which have signalized the conduct ot the Ot
toman authorities when it became a question of
fulfilling the engagements which they had under
taken toward us, and of proceeding, according to
usage at Jerusalem, to the promulgation, the re
gistration, and tlic execution of the firman. When
the Turkish Commissary, who had been sent to
the Holy City, according to the explicit assurance
which our mission at Constantinople had received
urrivod ut his destination, he had the audacity to
declare to our consul, who insisted upon the read
ing and registration of the firman, that he had no
knowledge of the act, and that there was no men
tion of it in his instructions. Although later, upon
our remonstrances, the firman was finally read and
registered at Jerusalem, thiß was only done with
restriction injurious to the Eastern form of wor
ship.
But as far us concerns the act itself, with the ex
ception of the accomplishment of these simple
formalities, its principal provisions have been
openly transgressed. The most flagrant violation
ot it has been the delivery to tho Latin Patriarch
of the key of the principal chureh at Bethlehem.—
This delivery was contrary to tho express terms of
the firman. It wounded deeply tho clergy and all
the population of the Greco-Russ faith, because ac
cording to the ideas which are current at Palestine,
the possession of the key secerns to imply by it
self alone, that of the temple in its entirety. The
Turkish Government then, against its own proper
interests, established in the eyes of ail men the
supremacy which it accorded to another form of
worship than the one to which tho majority of its
subjects submit themselves.
Such a forgetfulness of the most positive promi
ses which had been solemnly made in the letter
of the Sultan to the Emporor, so patent a breach
of faith, aggravated still more by the proceedings
and by the derisive words of the councillors of
His Highness, were certainly of a nature to justify
our augußt master—wounded as he was in his dig
nity, in his friendly confidence, in his form of
worship, and in the religious sentiments which he
shares with his subjects—in demanding ample
satisfaction. His Majesty might have done so if,
as he lias been accused by opinion which has
been perverted at its sources, he had only sought
for pretexts to upset the Ottoman Empire. But
he did not choose this course. He preferred to
obtain this satisfaction by means of a pacific negoti
ation. He has striven yet another time tocnlignten
tho Sovereign ot Turkey upon tho wrongs which
he has been guilty of with regard to us as well as
with regard to his own interests, and to appeal to
his own wisdom against the faults of his own in
terests, and to appeal to his own wisdom against
the faults of his Ministers; and it is with this
view that he dispatched Prinee Menschikoff to
Constantinople.
His mission had two objects always relative to
the affairs of the Holy Places :
1. To negotiate, in place of the firman which
had been nullified, for a new arrangement, which
—without taking away from the Latins that which
they had lately obtained (for in exacting this re
traction, we wished to avoid placing the Ottoman
Porte relatively to France in precisely the same
false position in which Bhe was placed relatively
to us)-should at least explain those concessions
ina manner to take away from them the appear
ance of a victory gained over the Greco-Kuss form
of worship, and which should re-establish, by
means of some legitimate compensations, the
equilibrium which had been destroyed at the ex
pense of the parties last named.
2. To corroborate this arrangement by an au
thentic act, which might serve at the same time
as a reparation for the past and a guarantee for
the future.
We believe that, with regard to the first part of
the mission of our Ambassador Extraordinary,
(which was very difficult and very thorny in itself,
inasmuch as it was necessary to reconcile the re
ciprocal but contradictory interests es Russia and
France,) we broughtto bear upon itan earnest spi
rit of conciliation, and we are nappy to say that the
French Government responded on its side to this
disposition. After long discussion it at length
ripened into a result, and this result has been that
two new firmans have been agreed upon, which
were obtained without any opposition flom the
French Ambassador.
But, as I said before, the question for negotia
tion presented yet another face. To obtain an ar
rangement was not all. Without an act which
should render it valid, and offer us a guarantee
that for the future, the new firmans should be ex
ecuted and religiously observed in their principles
and their oonseqnences, it is evident that these
documents, after the flagrant violation of the one
which had preceded them, could not, in our eyes,
possess any greater value than this had done. To
this guarantee the Emperor attached so much the
more importance, as it constituted the only repara
tion for the outrage offered to his dignity by the
breach of faith on the part of the Ottoman Porto—
especially after the circumstances which had ren
dered this yet more notorious.
The Prince Menschikoff was charged to obtain
this by means of a convention which he should
sign with the Turkish Government. There has
never been any question of a treaty, properly so
called.
Loud exclamations have been made against the
form of thia convention, as though in principle it
were injurious to the Sultan’s rights of sovereign
ty • as though it conferred upon us, in point of
lact, a perpetnal right of intervention in the inter
nal affairs of Turkey. We believe that on this
point a phantom has Wn evoked, and that appre
hensions are felt, the foundation of which is more
specious than real.
In principle a convention, or even a treaty of
this kind, would have nothing unusual about it;
and we do not see in what respect they would touch
the Sultan’s rights of sovereign autonomy more
than the capitulations or other acts which France
and Austria already possess in Turkey. For, in
principle only, it is of little consequence to the
independence of the Sultan whether an act applies
to a more or less considerable number of his sub
jects, on v. hose behalf a right of foreign protection
was to be exercised.
A guarantee assured by treaty in another State,
in the interests of a foreign communion, has been
usual at all times. At the time of the Reformation,
for example, States—even the great Catholic States
—concluded with other treaties or conventions, by
which they guaranteed in their dominions to those
of the Protestant communions, certain privileges,
franchises and immunities; so jfcat, even in our
own days, the civil position ofAhis communion
rests upon these bases, and yet the States which
have given such guarantees do not think them
selves injured in their sovereign rights or in their
political independence. So, with much more rea
son, may such acts be concluded with a Mussul
man Empire, whose Christian subjects have suffer
ed, and suffer still, so often, not only in their im
munities, but in their properties and in their ex
istence.
As the fact, and as far as we are concerned, it is
already in existence—the torm of a convention
which we propose contains no innovation on the
subject of religious liberty. The treaty of Kay
nardji, in which the Porte promises constantly to
protect the Christian religion and churches in its
states, implicate for us sufficiently a right of sur
veillance and remonstrance. This right is again
established, and more clearly still specified in the
treaty of Adrianople, which confirms sll our earlier
transactions. The stipulation* of gaynardii may
b* tnoad back as lar aa UT4.
We have, therefore, in fact, sad for neatly 80
years, the very rights conceded to us which are
now contested, and the very mention of which is
considered as conducive to a total revolution of
oar relationa with the Ottoman Porte, sinoe it is
asserted that this right wonld give us the sovereign
ty over the majority of its subjects. Surely, if we
had been disponed to make a bed use of that right,
as is supposed, by those whose suspicions are in
curable, we could not have wanted the occasion
for doing so in the course of this long period of
ttme, and such occasions would specially have
presented themselves within the last years, when
Europe was a prey to anarchy, when its govern
ments, paralyzed by internal contests, were en
gaged in, or distracted by the revolutions of the
Occident, leaving the Orient open to the ambitious
views which are ascribed to us.
Ifonrswere the intentions which some persons
are pleased to suppose in ns, we should sorely not
have waited until peace was re-established in Eu
rope. Should we, with such intentions, have dis
posed onr forces in such a manner as to offer a
moral and a material support to our neighbors ?
Should we, as we have done, have strained every
nerve to reconcile onr allies and to remove every
obstruction to the ultimate union of the Euro
pean powers ? On the contrary, in such a case, it
was clearly our interests to do all we could to per
petuate their differences.
We should then have left the Governments
alone to fight among themselves or with their re
bellions subjects, and, profiting by the embarrass
ments of their position, we could have attained,
witbont any difficulty, that point which persons
persisted in designating as the goal of onr en
croaching policy. At present, when social order
is fortunately re-established in every country, and
when the etates of Europe, each set firmly on its
basis have tho free disposal of their actions and
forces, such a policy on our part wonld be
thoronghly ont of reason.
We reiterate our assertion that, in principle and
in fact, a convention with the Porto in favor of
the members of onr religion presents no novel
features. Such a convention would give us no
advantage which we do not already possess, and
which we might not have abased if our intentions
inclined in that direction. If we are strong, we
have no need of it. If we are weak, it would
scarcely succeed in making us more formidable.
This is so true that we should never have thought
of proposing such a convention with respect to the
special question of the Holy Places of the Porte, by
the neglect of its former promises had not com
pelled ns to try to bind it moro effectual to the
maintainancc of the status quo of tho sanctuaries
Palestine, and if, when wc remonstrated against
concessions which were made to onr disadvantage,
that Power had not replied to us, that with re
spect to the Holy Places France had a treaty while
Russia had none.
Besides, sir, we have never at any time made a
special convention a sane qua non condition of our
reconciliation with tho Porte. Whilo we remitted
to Prince Menschikoff, when departing on his
mission to Constantinople, the minutes of the
stipulations which it was his duty to negotiate, we
left it entirely to his discretion not only to modify
the termß of those stipulations, but also to obtain
them under any form which might be found to be
least offensive to the Porte and tho foreign diplo
matists. On the strength of this authorization our
negotiator arrived on the spot, and, after examin
ing the obstacles which stood in the way of our
projected convention, continued himself to de
manding, under the name of a Stned, an act which
is more congenial to the Oriental usages and less
comfortable to the solemn ideas which aro gener
ally understood to be suggested by the word “con
vention" to the international law of Europe. Two
clauses of the first draught of a Sened were ob
jected to.
By virtue of theso clauses we demanded not, as
has been asserted, the right of confirming the elec
tion of the Patriarch of Constantinople, but sim
ply the maintenance of the ecclesiastical immuni
ties and temporal advantages which were, ab an
tique, accorded by the Porto to the four Patriarchs
of Constantinople, Ar.tioch, Alexandria, und Jc
rnsalam, and also to tho metropolitans, bishops,
and other spiritual heads of the Oriental Church.
In the presence of the objections raised against
these two clauses, the Prince Menschikoff has not
refused entirely to suppress them, and the result
was a second draught of a Sened, on tho acceptance
of which he insisted for a long time. At length,
when the Porto persisted in rejecting every species
of engagement in a bilateral or synallagmatic form,
our Ambassador, acting in the spirit of his in
structions, went to the length of declaring that, if
the Porte would at once accept and sign a note in
the terms of the one which is appended to this let
ter, he would consent to be satisfied with such a
document as a sufficient reparation and guarantee.
Such was, at the moment when the Prince Men
schikoff left Constantinople the real ultimatum
which tho Imperial Cabinet proposed, and it was
only when tbo Porte still delayed accepting the
said note that our Ambassador shuped his course
to Odessa, and broke off our diplomatic relations
with the Ottoman Government.
The concessions he made successively in the
form and spirit of our propositions, he mado also
in the term which was originally fixed for their ad
mission. After waiting for a tenth of timo, and
fruitlessly too, he had been instructed to demand
from the Porte, a difinite reply within three days,
and although, consequently, lie ought to have bad
that reply on the Bth of May, (new style) ho quit
ted Constantinople so late as the 21st of that month.
After three months of laborious negotiation, and
after having exhausted even the last possible con
cessions, the Emperor is now compelled perempto
rily to insist on the unconditional (per et simple) ac
ceptation of the draught of the note. But still in
fluenced by those considerations of patience and
forbearanco which have hitherto guided him, he
has granted the Porte a fresh reprieve of eight
days, In jrhich it has to take a decision. That pe
riod passed, and painful though it may be to his
conciliating disposition, he will be compelled to
think of the means of obtaining, by a more decis
ive attitude, the satisfaction which he has in vain
sought to obtain by peaceable means.
He would not adopt such an attitude without poig
nant and prolonged regret: but by dint of blind
ness and obstinacy parties have attempted (on
aura vould) to push him into a position in which
Russia pressed, so to say, against the extremest
limits of moderation, cannot yield another step
unless it be at the cost of his political importance.
Sir, you will please to communicate these facts to
the Government to which you are accredited, and
you will submit to that Government tho impor
tant document which is appendod to this despatch.
We entreat that Government to give the docu
ment its most serious consideration, for it is at
this moment tho Gordian knot of tbe question.
Wo still desire to untio that knot in a peaceable
manner; but it appears that we aro to be compell
ed forcibly to break it. While we submit our ul
timatum to the impartial judgment of the Cabinets
we leave them to decide whether, after the wrongs
of which the Porte has been guilty against us—
whether, after so much cause of legitimate resent
ment as it has given us, we could possibly be con
tent with a slighter satisfaction.
A conscientious examination of the draught of
our note, will show that, devoid of the forms of a
treaty, and even of a synallamatio contract, it con
tains nothing whatever contrary to tho rights of
the Sultan’s sovereignty—nothing which betrays
on our part those exaggerated pretensions which
aro ascribed to ns by a suspicion which is as insult
ingto us as it is unjustified by our former actions.
Wo trußt this examination will suffice to shame
down the false rumors which have been bruited
about our haughty exigences, and to show that, if
the rejection of tha last means of conciliation we
propose to solve the difficulties raised against us in
tbe affair ot tbe Holy Places should lead to compli
cations which may break the peace, it is not our
shoulders that the responsibility for such events
would rest.
Accept, Sir, <fec., Nesselrode.
Draco ht of a note.
Tbe Sublime Port, after a most attentive und
earnest examination of tbe demands which form
the object of the extraordinary mission confided to
the Ambassadorof Kussia, the Prince Menschiboff,
and after submitting the result of thatexaminatiou
to His Majesty the Sultan, makes it its duty to no
tify by these presents to his Highness the Ambas
sador the Imperial decision emanated on this sub
ject by a supreme trade of the date of .
His Majesty the Sultan, desirous of giving his
august ally and friend, the Emperor of Russia, a
fresh proof of his most sincere frendship, and de
sire to consolidate the ancient relations of good
neighborhood and cordial understanding which
exist between the two countries, and, at the samo
time, placing an implicit confidence in the con
stantly benevolent intentions of his Imperial Ma
jesty toward the maintenance of the integrity and
independence of the Ottoman Empire, has design
ed to appreciate and to take into nis serious con
sideration the candid and cordial representations
of Which the Ambassador of Bussia has been the
organ in lavor of the orthodox religion (cult*) of the
Orient, which is professed by his august ally and
by the majority of both their subjects.
The undersigned has consequently received the
order, to give the Imperial Government of Bussia,
represented by his Highness the Prince Menschi
koff, by this present note, the solemn assurance of
the unchanging solicitude and the generous and
tolerant sentiments which animate His Majesty
the Bultan for the prosperity and security of the
clergy, the churches, and religious establishments
of the Christian religion ( cults ) in the Orient.
To render these assurances still more explicit, to
define in a formal manner the principal objects of
this high solicitude, and to corroborate by sup
plementary explanations, necessitated by the pro
gress of time, the sense of certain articles which in
former treaties, concluded between the two Powers,
have referred to religious questions, and to pre
vent for all times to come even the shadow of a
misunderstanding on this subject, tbe undersign
ed is authorized by His Majesty the Sultan do
make the following declarations: —
1. The orthodox religion (culte) of the Oriente,
its clergy, churches, possessions, and religious
establishments, shall for the future enjoy under
the aegis of His Majesty the Sultan, the privileges
and immunities which were assured to them ab
antique, or which have been granted to them from
time to time by the Imperial favor and from a high
principle of equity; they shall participate in the
advantages accorded to the other Christian sects,
as well as to the Legislations accredited to the Su
blime Porte, by convention or special disposition.
2. His Majesty the Sultan, having thought it
necessary and equitable tocorroborate and explain
his sovereign firman, which received the Hatti-
Houmayoun on the loth day of the month of Be
biul- Akbir, 1268, (16th February, 1852,) by his
firman of the , and to ordain, moreover, by
another fireman, dated of— the , the repara
tion of the cupola of the temple of the Holy Se
pulchre, these two firmans shall be textually execut
ed and faithfully observed to the maintenance for
all time to come of the actual statue quo of the
sanctuaries possessed by the Greeks exclusively,
or in common with the members of other sects.
| It is understood that this promise extends equally
to the maintenance of all the rights and immuni
ties which have been enjoyed ab antique by the
orthodox church and its clergy within the walls of
Jerusalem and without, without any prejudice to
the other Christian communities.
8. In case the Imperial Court of Bussia should
demand it, a convenient locality shall be assigned
in the city of Jerusalem or its vicinity for the con
struction of a church devoted to the celebration of
Divine service by Hessian ecclesiastics, and of a
hospital for poor and distressed pilgrims, and Hich
foundations shall be under the surveillance of the
Consul General of Bussia in Syria and Palestine.
4. The necessary firmans and orders shall be
given to those who have a right to sskfor them (a
qui de droit) and to the Greek Patriarchs, for the
execution of these sovereign decisions; and a far
ther understanding will be come to in the regula
tion of other details which have neither found a
place in the limans respecting the Holy Places, nor
•n tie present notification.

The Russo-Turkish Question.
We published yesterday, the important State
paper of Count Nxsselbodk, whioh expresses Un
tie ws of the Russian Government on the Turkish
question. We now subjoin from tbs London
Times of the 22d nit., the opinion of that Journal
thereon :
The Russian Government has at length broken
the silence which it had observed since the com
mencement ofthe negotiations of Prince Menachi
koff, and the Journal of St. Petersburgh hss been
authorised to communicate to the world a circular
dispatch of the 12th of June, irf'which Count
Nesselrode sets forth and explains, in the sense of
the Russian Cabinet, the causes es the present
crisis, aud the views upon which the Emperor of
Russia is prepared to act. Our readers will 3ud
in this important state paper, which we recom
mend to their attentive pernsa), a minute confir
mation of the statements we have from time to
time laid before them ; and, though we entirely
differ from the conclusions at which the Russian
Cabinet arrives, we can discover no material fact
in this authentic narrative beyond those already
known to us. It is perfectly true, as we have all
along said, that the indiscreet interference of the
Frenck Government with the question ofthe Holy
Places was the original cause of the embarrass
ments which have since ensued, and we should
insist the more strongly on this point if it were
not that the French Government nas made all the
reparation in its power lor this signal blander, by
abandoning the pretensions it has raised, and ao
quicscing in the last firmans with reference to the
Holy Places granted by tke Porte to the Russian
Envoy. But, as this point is admitted by the
Russian manifesto, the substantial injury com
plained of by the Emperor Nicholas must be held
to have bean already repaired, and the remaining
questions are, whether the affront he had reoeived
was such us to entitle him to exact signal repara
tion, and whether the arrangement made re
quires a more solemn sanction writs future main
tenance.
The Ottoman authorities are accused of “ter
giversation aud duplicity,” because they neglected
to proceed to the registration and execution at Je
rusalem of the firman they had granted at Con
stantinople ; and because they subsequently com
mitted “that most flagrant infraction of placing in
the hands of the Latin Patriarch tho key of the
principal door of the church at Botblehem.” But,
will any one acknowledge that this act is to bo re
garded as a cause of war, especially when it has
been repaired by a subsequent arrangement f Or
are we to be tol’d, in a state paper of the 19th cen
tury that two empires are brought to the verge of
hostilities because it was disputed, some months
ago, which of two rival priests of the same faith
was to keep tho key of a church sacred to the na
tivity of their common redeemer! All history
cannot afford so frivolous, and disgraceful a pre
tence for such proceedings, and we are more than
ever justified in the tone of contemptuous reproba
tion in whioh we have uniformly spoken of the
cause of such a quarrel.
But the Russian Government goes further. It
affirms that, “as tor the protection of the Greco-
Russian worship in Turkey, it needs no other
rights than those it ulrcady derives from its trea
ties, its position, and the influence resulting from
tho religious sympathy existingbetweon fifty mil
lions of Russians of the Greek Church, and the
great majority ofthe Christian suhjeets of the Sul
tan —an influence of ages—an influence inevitable,
because it is in facta, not in words—wliioh the Em
peror found when he ascended tho throne, and
which he cannot renounce without abandoning the
glorious inheritance of his angust predecessors."
Claims so absolute, expressed in such language,
are not easily subjected to a process of argumenta
tive proof. But in this caso such proof is alto
gether wantiug. We utterly deny this audacious
attempt to indentify tho Eastern Church, as it ex
ists under its own patriarchs, and synods in the
dominions ofthe Porte, with tho Russian branch
of that church, whose head is the Czar. This
claim is precisely that which no foreign nations
can admit, because it umounts to the conversion of
an alleged conformity of religions worship in a title
to spiritual dependence and political influence.—
Austria has millions of subjects as well as Turkey,
belonging to the Greek Church. The kingdom of
Greece belongs entirely to that persuasion. Is it
t be contended tor an instant that the religious
sympathy of these churches, with fifty millions of
Russians, constitutes a ground of Russian supre
macy ? The very reason for which Prince Menschi
koff’s proposal were not only rejected by Turkey,
but condemned by Europe, is that this proposition
was supposed to lurk in the guarded terms of the
first article. Wo cannot but regard it as an evil
Bymptom that the same doctrine should now be
repeated moro explietly and vehemently in a for
mal document, addressed not only to the Courts
of Europe, but to the Rußsiau nation, whoso reli
gious passions and national ambition such a do -
claration is strongly calculated to excite and in
flame.
it is contended that instances are not wanting
in which treaties have been concluded, granting to
certain powers a right of protection over their oo
religionists in foreign States. Thns we have held
such stipulation in favor of the Hungarian and
Piedmontese Protestants, and France claims simi
lar rights in favor of the Latin Christians in the
East. But the principle is not the Bame, because
it has never been supposed that such concessions
wero made where they could confer political in
fluence, and such foreign protection was only tole
rated because it applied to a very weak and scan
ty minority. To apply the same principle to a
mass of many millions, constituting the large ma
jority of tho population of Turkey in Europe, is to
change its nature. But Russia argues as if such
rights already existed, and, because exceptional
rights of this nature have sometimes been conced
ed by treaty, she asserts a right to demand their
formal recognition. That is to beg the question,
altogether, and to act before the oontract iB signed
as if it were already in full force, for under the
moßt binding treaty she could do no more than
threaten war to avenge a breach of it.
The most conclusive portion of the Russian cir
cular appears to us to be absolutely condemnatory
of the course pursued by tbe Emporor Nicholas.—
It is argued, with groat force that nothing can be
more inconsistent with the polioy of his reign and
with all his recent actions than that, having la
bored with success to contribute to the pacifica
tion and tranquility of Europe after the convulsion
of 1848, ho should now direot his ambitious views
to the East, whore all the powers are united
against him. It is added, that “if Russia is strong
she wants no such act sb she demands, and if she
be weak it would not add to her power.” Wecan
conceive no answer to those objections, which me
in fact, tho very same argued against the policy of
Russia, by every independent organ in Europe.—
But, unhapily, the fact oftbe case contradict rthc
theory of this notice. The publication of the note
itselfinaterially increases the difficulty, for it can
not but excite public opinion in Russia, and it
pledges the Imperial Government “to procure,
by a moro decided attitude, the satisfaction it has
vainly attempted to obtain by pacific means.”—
Such language, in circumstances like tho present,
is the ordinary prelude to hostilities : yet such is
the singularity of this case that, without an at
tempt to produce a definite cause of war, the Rus
sian Government affects a maudlin regret for the
oxtremeties to which it is reduced. Such language
is not dignified, for it cannot be honest ; and it is
mischievious, because it contracts the already nar
row ground on which It may be possible to arrive
at a compromise.
The last change in the form of Prince Menschi
koff’s proposals is one of words, but not of sub
stance ; for the note tonderod by him So r the sig
nature of the Turkish Ministers comprehends ull
the artioles ofthe Sened, and the passive accep
tance of such a declaration would be as groat a
confession of impotence as the conclusion of a trea
ty to the same effect. Tet the official publication
of this draught by the Russian Government would
seem to imply that it is entirely resolved to insist
on one of the two alternatives—of submission to
these terms, or war. On one point of the horizon,
however, a hope still remains that negotiations
may be resumed. The Emporor of Rassia has ap
plied to the Cobinet of Vienna tor its good offices
at Constantinople, to induce tho Porte to submit
to the ultimatum, and this circumstance has doubt
less given rise to theinaccurate statements that the
mediation of Austria has been accepted. The
Austrian Government is said to have replied, that
it could not give its good offices or assistance
merely to urge upon the Porte the acceptance of
terms'which it did not approve, but that it is rea
dy to instruct the Internuncia, M. de Brnck, to en
deavor to find some middle term or means of com
promise between the last demand of Prince Men
schikoff and the last concession of the Porte.—
The point is in truth a very narrow one, and if
this concilitory suggestion of Austria be accepted
by the Emperor of Russia, peace maybe still main
tained.

Treaty Relations of Russia and the Porte.
The bold assertions of Russian agents and the
exigent demands of tbe Czar appealing to treaties,
make it important that the treaty rights of Bussia
in Turkey should receive the fullest elucidation.
The discussion which have been devoted to special
points have done much to illustrate the positive
engagements of Turkey towards Bussia, but per
haps nothing short of a thorough survey of the di
plomatic record will Berve satisfactorily to show
how flimsy are the pretences of the Czar to a legal
exercise of a protectorate over the subjects of Tur
key.
The treaty of Kutschuk Kainardje, negotiated
July 10,1774, in the camp of General Bomanzoff,
alter the campaign so disastrous for Turkey, which
terminated a six years’ war, contained the follow
ing article
The two Empires agree to annul and bury in
eternal oblivion all the anterior treaties and con
ventions between the two States.
The positive engagements of the two empires do
not then ascend beyond the year 1774. The treaty
of that date successively reuewed as the hostilities
which invalidated it were terminated, still consti
tutes the title to which the Czar appeal, as we saw
yesterday in Count Nesselrode’s note, as being
entitled to assert a protectorate over the subjects
of Turkey. What, then, does the treaty of Kain
ardje stipulate ? In analysing its 28 articles, we
find, as in all treaties which terminate a war, a
number of clauses which, relating merely to the
manner of re-establishing peace, such as the eva
cuation of territory, amn ;sty, and so on, have long
since attained their end.
Others, more permanent in their nature and in
tention, such as territorial arrangements, have,
however, been rendered obsolete i y subsequent
cession and conquest. The articles which remain
after these have been rejected still govern tbe re
lations of thetwo empire’s—in reviewing these, we
shall mention, without examining, such as relate
to Moldavia, Wallachia, and Servia, as being of
sufficient importance to deserve a separate examina
ti°n.
The stipulations which are left when those which
affect territory aDd those which were in their na
ture transient are abstracted, are the following:
In article 18, the Sublime Porte promises faith
fully to employ the sacred title of Temanen Bous
sielerin Padiscbay in all public documents where
the Russian Empress is spoken of, (the treaty was
concluded in the name and on behalf of Cather
ine.) the fact being that formerly a designation
anything but complimentary had been applied to
that august lady. The fifth article also stipulates
for the Russian Minister at Constantinople a be
coming diplomatic rank, and one which he had not
before enjoyed. Os far more importance was the
stipulation contained in article 9, which secured
to merchant vessels carrying the Russian flag free
transit from the Black to the White Sea, and re
ciprocally, and gave them access to all the porta
and harbours, whether on the coasts of the Black
Sea or in the straits connecting tbe two inland
seas. Besides the permission to traffic by land and
water in tbe interior of Turkey, that subjects of
Russia obtained the right of the more favored
nations, “such as the French and English,” and
the capitulations were to serve as a patera for their
° W Article 2, regulating the extradition of offenders,
excepts from its operation those who, having fled
into the Russian empire, shall have adopted the
Christian religion, or who, having taken refuge in
the Ottoman, territories, shall have become Turks.
So also is it declared that if a Christian in the ser
vice of the Russian minister to the Porte oommit
a robbery and turn Turk to escape punishment, he
shall be held to restore tbe thing stolen.
This brings us to the important class of provis
ions relating to the privileges of the Greek re
ligion in Turkey, and position sustained to its ad
herents by the Czar. The article on which tbe
protection exercised by the Czar over the Chris
tians of Turkey is baaed, is thus framed:
Tbe Sublime forte promisee constantly to pro-
teot the Christian religion, and also permits the
j ministers of the impvrud court of Russia on all oc
casions to make representations in favor of tho
new ahnrch at Constantinople, mentioned in Art
i Alt., as well as in favor of those who minister
i there, promising at the same time to take them
into consideration as made by a person in tho eon
tideDce of a neighboring and sincere friendly pow-
In Article VIII, the Russian courtobtains privi
leges of pilgrims:
The subject of the Russian empire, whether lay
or ecclesiastical, shall have free and full permis
sion to visit tho Holy City of Jerusalem, and other
plaoea worthy of attention. No charatsch, con
tribution, toll, or other impost shall bo required
of the prilgrims aud travellers, but they sbad be
furnished with passports and nrmaus, such as are
granted to the subjects of other friendly powers.
During their sojourn in the Ottoman empire, no
injury nor offence shall bo offered to them; on the
contrary, they shall be placed under the full pro
tection of the law.
In article XIV., permission is obtained by Russia
to build and protect a church.
The high court of Russia shall receive, like tho
other powers, permission to build, in additiou ti
the chapel in the minister’s houso, a public church
of the Greek rite in the street called Bey Ogla, of
the quarter Galatea, the said church to be always
under the protection of the ministers ot the em
pire, and protected from all violonce and injury.
Again, in article XVII., the Russians in restoring
the isles of the Archipelago, stipulate:
The Christian religion shall not be oxposed to
the least oppression, and no obstaclo to the con
struction or repair of churches shall be raised,
likewise, those who minister in the latter shall not
be oppressed nor outraged.
Beyond these, the treaty of Kutselmk Kainardje
contains no stipulations respecting religion, unless
it be the following:—
If any Christian, being drank, desire to assume
the turban and become a Turk, he shall not bo re
ceived until his drunkenness shall have passed off,
and he shall have recovered possession of his natu
ral reason, and even theu his definite declaration
must be made in the prosonco of nu interpreter
sent by the Russian minister and some impartial
Musselman.
We have now passed in revicwnll tho provisions
of the treaty of Kutschuk Kainardje, excepting
those relating to Moldo-Wallaehia.

We have received the full details ol tho news by

in our telegraphio despatch:
Russia andTehxky.—Paris, Monday, G. P. M.—
A private letter from Jassy (Moldavia) of tho 17th
iust., states that the entire population were in the
greatest state of uncertainty as to thoir future po
sition. On tho 15th, an courior from
St. Petersburg passed on his way to Bucharest and
Constantinople. After his departure the Russian
Consul, M. Guirche, proceeded immediately to no
tify to Prince Ghiku that the Cabinet of St. l’eters
burgh had again sent its ultimatum to Constanti
nople, with orders that if tho Sublime Porte did
not accept it at the end of eight days, tho Russian
Generals who were on the frontier would pass it,
aud immediately commonco hostilities against
Turkey; that in consequence, His Highness, the
Hospodar,must, without any loss of time, adopt
the necessary measures for provisioning the army,
and for the transport of the baggage of tho Rus
sian troops ; and that for this purpose the Consul
General of Bucharest, M.Hultzinsky, would fepair
to Jassy in three orfonrdays to come to an under
standing with the Prince. It was, on the other
hand, known that since the 14th instant a division
of the army, amounting to 40,000 men, had arrived
at Skouliani, which is about two leagues from
J assy, on the Russian side. The number of troops
may, perhaps, be exaggerated, but tho letter
states it as positive that troops were oncamped
along the whole line of tho Pruth.
The Debats has tho following from Constantino
ple of the 18th :
“Our letters from Constantinople by Trieste aro
to tho 18th. The Courier who left St. Petcreburgh
on the lßt. with the last ultimatum of Russia, ar
rived on the 9th at Constantinople, as is already
known. That document had been presented to
the Divan; it is under the form of a letter addres
sed by Count de Nesselrode to Redschild Pasha,
Minister of Foreign Affairs to the Sultan. Tho
following is the principal passage : ‘The Emperor,
my master, has informed mo that Prince Men
schikoff was obliged to quit Constantinople, after
a stay there of three months, without having been
able to obtain the guarantee which ho demanded
for the rights and privileges of the Greek Church.
The Emperor considers the refusal of the Porte as
a complete want of consideration, as an affront
offered to his person. lie approves completely of
the conduot of his Ambassador. In his solicitude
for tho preservation of the Ottoman Empire, ho
recommends the Porto to reflect once more on the
disastrous consequences of its retusal, tho whole
responsibility of which must rest on it, and ho
accords it for the purpose of a final delay of eight
days. At the expiration of that poriodtho Russian
troops will cross the frontiers, not to wugo war,
but to obtain from the Sudan the concessions
which he has refused to accord by tho way of a
friendly arrangement. Count do Nesselrode hopes,
however, that the Porto, hotter advised, will yield
before the Emperor shall need to have recourse to
means which are repugnant to the sentiments for
the Sultan Abdul Modjid, but the employment of
which is imperatively imposed on him by his con
science and by that of his people.’ W lieu the
text of this note became known at Constantinople,
the emotion was great, as may be well imngincd,
in the diplomatic body. We are assured that tho
Ambassador of England in particular was re
markable for the firmness of his language, and
that his sontimonis wore shared by the Ambas
sador of France. At Constantinople it was en
deavored to explain tho conduot of Russia by the
triumph at St. Petersburg!! of the Muscovite par
ty ; it was said that during the whole period of
Prince MenschikofTs stay at Constantinople he
corresponded directly with the Emperor, and it
was observed that up to the last moment Count
de Nesselrode’s name had not appeared in any of
the documents of these important negotiations,
aud that the fiist time it was seen thero tho Chan
cellor of the Empire bad taken care to begin his
letter with the words, ‘ The Emperor, my master,
has informed me.’
No one at Constantinople doubted but that the
ultimatum would bo rejected, yet, at the date of
the last letters, that step had not beou taken. M.
de Balabine, the First Secretary of the Russian
Embassy, who remained at Constantinople after
the departure of Prince MonschiKoff, had declar
ed that, in case of a negative answer from tho
Porte, he would depart in his turn, but alone, car
rying with him the valuable articles belonging to
the Embassy, and leaving at Constantinople the
director of tho commercial branch of the Embassy,
and first diagoman. On the 18th tho airival of
the French and English fleota in tho Bay of Bc«i
ka was not yet known at Constantinople: but it
was known by the Chaptal and the Curadoc that
they had quitted Salamis and Malta, to proceed to
tho ontranco of the Dardenclles. Notwithstand
ing tho agitation of men’s minds, order and tran
quility had not ceased to provuil at Constantino
ple.
Though there are no datta which would ei able
ono to state positively that the hostilities will, or
will not grow out of the present quarrel, yet the
public feeling continues, as before, disposed to
view matters in a favorablo point of view ; and this
optieism is encouraged, it appears, by the Russian
and Austrian Embassies, and by ono of tho lead
ing journals which is favorable to the French Min
istry. The Constitutional, in giving its own ver
sion of tbe letter of M. de Nesselrode accompany
ing the ultimatum, says that Bussiaannonncos tho
occupation of the provinces in the event of the
continued resistance of tho Porte, as a matter
which will only take place “ in some weeks.”
The note which Is given above makes no men
tion of “ some weeks,” but says positively that
the occupation will take place on trio expiration of
the additional term accordcit. It Is, inorover, re
marked that the note does not speak of the occu
pation of the Danubian provinces, but that the
Russian army will cross “ the frontiers,” leaving it
to be inferred that the Danube itself, as well as the
Pruth, may be crossed. If Bussia does not con
sider that the occupation of the provinces ought to
be considered a casus belli, it is, perhaps, because
it does not consider tho Pruth as the frontier be
tween Turkey and Bussia, and consequently that
the provinces do not form part of the Turkish ter
ritory.
There is a curious inconsistency in the letter of
M. de Nesselrode. It recommends the Porto, out
of regard for “the preservation of tbe Ottoman
Empire,” to grant the demands of the Emperor of
Bussia; the infeTrenoe is that if they be not grant
ed the Ottoman Empire will not be preserved—in
other words, that it will be destroyed; and then,
in the next sentence, it says the Emperor does not
mean to wage war by the occupation of the pro
vinces, but only to obtain the concessions, &c.
Now, it is difficult to see how concessions that are
refused can be obtained otherwise than by war.
Tbo warlike preparations inTurkeyaro carried
on with considerable energy. The news of tho
18tb, from Kalisch, is not without importance.—
The chief engineer of the active army, Lieutenant
General Dahn, has arrived at Warsaw from St.
Petersburgh. Courier horses stand saddled and
bridled by night and day at all the post stations be
tween St. Petersburgh and Warsaw. The Lloyd
has also a letter of the 14th from Brady. The writer
remarks that Odessa letters do not touch on poli
tics for fearol displeasing the government. There
iB a complete stagnation in trade at Odessa as well
as in the Danubian Principalities, and the foreign
merchants in Jassy and Galetz are most anxious
to get in their outstanding capital.

The Botal Christening. —The christening of
the infantson of Her Majesty and his Boyai High
ness Prince Albert took place on the evening of
the 27th, in Buckingham Palace. Tho sacred rite
was performed in the private chapel in the Palace,
which was duly prepared for the eccasiou. Two
rows of chairs of crimson satin and gold were

journals contain less favorable noticea of tho gold
mining operations of New South Wales. The

while crossing their animals, five Indians wore
killed on the spot, some five or six wounded, hor
scs, arrows, bows, guns, blankets, &0., were taken
from them, and thoso who escaped swum tho river
entirely nuked. It would appear that thoso Indians

Roruxkv.— Wo learn that on Tuesday night of
last weok, John Denton, (oneof tho “hands” bo
longing to Robinson & Eldred’s circus) robbed
John W. Wright of Greene county, of two gold
watcheß, money and papers of tho valuo of SBOO.
This occurred at Loxington. Wright and his
friends pursued the robber next morning some 4
miles—who hearing of tho pursuit, abandoned tho
wagon bo was driving and flod to tho woods.
Wright then took passage on the railroad train
arrived at tho depot hero at half past 8 o’clock
mot our efficient Marshal on the platform, and in
formed him of the robbory. In loss than halt an
hour from that time, he had Denton (who it ap
pears, had made for this place as soon as ho took
to tho woods) in custody, and delivered him the
noxt morning to tho authorities at Loxington—
having recovered, in tho meantime, all of Wright’s
property, oxoopt about SBO, which Denton said was
in tlio bands of two accomplices.
According to Denton’s confession, it appears that
ho and Wright woro drinking togotlior in u dog
gery at a late hour—that he invited Wright to go
with him to the “pavillion,” where he fell asloi p,
and the robbery was committed. Ho attributes
his fall to the fell destroyer, Alcohol.
Capt. Dorsey deserves groat credit for liis
promptitude and efficiency, not only in this cuso,
but in numbers of others that have eome to our
knowledge.— Athene Herald , Uth, inet.

A Missionary Deified. —ln 1882, Mr. and Mrs
Todd woro sent out as missionaries of tlio Ameri
can Board to tho Tamil people. Mrs. Todd died,
in 1885, at Dcviapatam. Rev. Mr. Taylor of tho
Madura Mission, being at that placo in February
last, visited her grave to see il tho monument was
in repair. On reaching the spot, what was his
oonoorn, to find that lamps aro burned, sacrifices
made and prayers ofibred to thia servant of Christ,
and that miracles woro commonly reported to
have been wrought there! lie thought ho would
put a fenco round tho grave; but then ho consid
ered that thia would confirm tlio notion ofitssanc
tity. He noxt thought of having tho remains
removed to tho mission cemetery at Madura; but
this would not enlighten the minds of the peoplo.
“My conclusion,” ho says, “ was to let it romain,
and report the facts to the poodle of God in Amor
ioa.”
Another Mobile Steamship. —We learn from
tho Now York Journal of Co mm o roe that Wm.
Collyer, tho ship builder, has commenced a steam
ship of 1800 tons for the Alabama Steamship Com-
Kto run botwcon New York and Mobile,
inexion with tlio Biaek Warrior. Slio will
be 24b feet in length by 87 broad, and 19 feet
deep. The New Orleans Bulletin, referring to this
second steamship, thus complements Mobile:
We greatly admire the energy and enterprise
evinced by our spirited liltlo sister city, in thus
bailding up her steamship line, and wish its own
ers every sneoess in tho undertaking. We hold Mo
bile up to Now Orleans, in this particular, as an
example worthy of imitation.”— Tribune.
Fatal Accident.— On Monday evening last, Mr.

the Hon. A. Hull, m tho corner ot the fence at tho

Another Pacific Route Subvey.— lt is stated in
the Missouri Democrat, at St. Louis, that Col. Fre
mont has made preparations to start in November
for a winter excursion to test the practicability of
a passago through the mountains on the central
route in tho season of snows. Tho enterprise is
entirely his own, unconnected with any Govern
ment aid, and is another illustration of that high
character for perseverance and energy for which
he is distinguished. Tho Government survey of
the same route is entrusted to Capt. Gunnison,
who is very competent and trustworthy. The con
current labors ot these two expeditions will go far
to settle tho much contested point, whether the
central route is practicable, contrary to the current
opinion of tho most of those who are best acquaint
ed with it.— N. O. Pic.
Fatal Casualty —Two Lives Lost. —At about a

is to be opened on the 12th inst., and remain open
until the 80th, after which tho amount unsub
scribed will be offered in Louisiana and Mississip
