The Eastern Question.—The news is
brief, but important and warlike. The
Sultan bas 4 appealed to the moral, and, if
necessary,fto the material-'a ; d of France
and England, bv demanding the presence
•f their fleets before Constantinople.
The opinion is that the French and En
glish will allow the Turks and Russians to
fight their own battles, but, if the Turks
are defeated, will prevent tbe Russians
from marching on Constantinople. With
this view a protecting force might occupy
a strong position between 'Broussa orf tbe
Danube andfKestendge Jon 'the'- Black sea,
or they mav perhaps occupy Rodosto on
the sea of Marmora or Riestcbant.
Neither France nor England are arming
openly, byt. the forces of both countries are
in a very effective condition.
All tbe offers of volunteers received bv
the Turkish Ambassador at London are

News of the Week.
The long anticipated and oft spoken of
war between Russia and Turkey has at last
commenced, with the declaration of hostili
ties by Turkey, at least this is the informa
tion furnished by tbe latest arrivals from
Europe; what will be the result of this war
we are not sufficiently aequain ted with the
military strength of either to imagine; tin:
opinion seems to prevail 1 argely, however,
that Turkey will be worsted, and if not en
tirely conquered, and tbe government over
thrown, she will at least loose a portion of
her provinces, which her rapacious neigh
bors will take in satisfaction of the breach
of the peace which the mainlainance of her
rights and sovereignty has occasioned.
To judge from outside iiifi uences, Tuikey is
in a bad condition for war, and must fall a
victim to the diplomacy, even of her profess
ed friends and backers. Tbe government
is thought to be in a state of decay, and in
her most tranquil times she is watched by
England, France, Austria and Russia with
the jealousy of heirs anxiously waiting and
expecting the demise of a rich relative whose
estates founded the>liope of future greatness
and glory. They look upon her possessions
as their indefeasible rights, and they will
see to it that no one takes an advantage of
the other; consequently the “backing”
which Turkey gels from England and France
is only this—“If Russia attempts to take
any part of your possessions from you, do
fight, and we will back you and see that she
takes no more than we are entitled to in the
same ratio of distribution.” Thus will the
war he waged and if closed with honor to
Turkey, will result very differently from
what is mainly anticipated.
l he Africanization of Cuba is a topic
which is being discussed very warmly bv
the newspapers and letter writers. We pub
lished last week an article from the Wash,
ingtou Union, which gave the leader an
idea of the extent of the scheme proposed,
ami the information upon which the truth
of the matter was based. The government
at Washington will not stand idly by and
see such an inhumane and guilty project
carried into execution, but will doubtless use
all its energies and powers to frustrate such
a design on the part of England, France and
Spain. We hear of no reliable confirmation
of this project, and we sincerely trust it is
one of the many rumors which find way to
the public without any just or reasonable
foundation. It i-. discredited by many jour
nals and correspondents.
In Now York the “War of the Shells”
still continues. The “Hards” held an indig
nation meeting on Monday and condemned
the Administration in unmeasured terms fo r
the removai of collector Bronson ; the meet
ing purports to have been held mainly by
the merchants. The Tribune is filled with
addresses from Democratic committeemen
who are likely to take the Administration
in hand for its exposition of the Baltimore
platform. A call for a convention of the
party is spoken of in some quarters to take
into consideration the interpretation given
the Baltimore resolutions by the President
and his Cabinet. The elections in New
York take pl«ce this day, and we shall short
ly hear what elfect the war between the
“llards” and “Softs” will have upon the
democracy oft hat State. It is thought that
it will give the State to the Whigs—we
shall not be surprised to hear if. From the
New York politicians, the Administration
has alighted upon those of Massachusetts,
whose elections are ju.-t pending with a pro
posed coalition between the Democrats and
Free Soilers. The Democrats of that Sta’e
have been informed by a letter from Mr.
Cushing that the President wili not recog

Wiiliamson's Swamp, [
October 28, 1853. \
Mr. Editor:—A few days since, it was
reported that there was a Bear, between
Wood’s bridge and Pine Lbg bridge on Wil
liamson’s Swamp, in Jefferson county ; sev
eral had seen the the track, but none was
Certain that it was a bear’s track, except an
old hunter who had been in many a bear
huut, and had killed two with his own
hands. So early on yesterday morning, sev
eral gentlemen, with numerous dogs met
near Wood’s bridge, ali armed and equip-
ed with double barrel shot gnus, except one
man whose lot it was to take a rifle for use
in case Bruin should become so hostile as
not to admit of shot guu distance. And
now the business was to make a drive for
tbe bear. After examining the clay root
on Cedar Hammock, where he used, and
discussing the qualification of each dog jvs
a bear hunter, a circle was made with tile
dogs, and it was not long before Traveller
opened, and everybody said there was the
bear sure, for all could depend ou him, the
oilier dogs joined in, and the party shouted
and hurried them on with eagerness’for the
sport, and a hopeful anxiety for a shoot at
poor unfortunate Bruin. He was fairly up
and seemed to be fleet and long winded, and
gave them a race of about one hour, when
the dogs untie to a bay. Now it was that
each man felt more intently bent than ever
upon getting the first shoot. Hot .ami im
petuous they all rushed up ready for battle,
but alas ! they (bund, according to the intor-
mation which the canine pursuers could
render of his whereabouts, that Bruin had
taken shelter from his heartless and noisy
pursuers, in an inviting and capacious Go
pher hole, which seemed to hare presented
the only opeuing to bis escape. “Out he
must come,” said the hunters, blit how was
tbe question. They remembered the story
of the two darkies out in search of young

lhe baudWtch Islands, Criqon and
Utah.—Tile following interesting items of
news Were, brought by the Northern
Light.
Russian. Invasion of the Island.—We
leant from prixate advices recieved i this
city, that a vast eniigiatioii of Russians,said
to be 12,01)0 is in preparation for the Sand
wich Islands, under, tin* immediate auspices
of tile Emperoi. 11 our informant cor
rect, and we have no reason to doubt its
truth, it will be necessary for the Govern
ment ot tlie Lidled .Stales (o take immedi
ate possession of the Islands, or tliev will
fail into die hands of some one of the liuio-
pean powers. It is not probable that the
j-alousy of France or England would Jier-
mit a Russ an invasion of the Sandwich Is
lands under pretence of colinizaiiou. They
will consequently anticipate this movement
and .n doing so, anticipate ourselves.—Alta
Californian.
Utah.—Lieut. Beale, iu passing over the
table laud between Colorado and Gilla, dis
covered a number of ruins of human habita
tion. Some ot them were very extensive
aud of stone and showed that a numerous
& industrious populationonce existed where
all is now barren. A multitude ot remains
ot crockery and domestic utensils were
found. It is supposed that the ruins are
of Aztec origin.
Orregon Immigration.—A gentleman
who left Salt. Lake, August 1st, estimated
the number of waggons on the way to Ore
gon at uot exceeding 2, 000—500 had
crossed at Salmon Falls, and almost 1,200
had gone down ou the other side of the
river. Many. large flocks of sheep were on
their way.
Wheat is coining in rapidly; we Uarn
hat it is m».v worth 1-2 per bushel.—
Oreganian, Sept. 3.
JYew Eye-Syringe.—India rubber eye
syringes are now in use,—a flexible globe
the size of an egg has an ivory pipe, ex
tremely delicate in consstruction; by com
pressing the Ball between the thumb and
