N From our foreign files to the 2d inst., by the steamer Baltic, we take the following extracts: A letter (without date) from Tunis announces the sudden death of Mr. Heap, Consul of the U. States. Russia and Turkey.— No one seems to know what is going on upon the Danube. The three days since last advices brought reports from the Danube announcing successively an engagement and an armistice—the commencement of hostili ties and the conclusion of a truce, and a new di plomatic note pending. We are without detail ed particulars of either of these occurrences, but the London press believes that the pacific intel- j ligence will be found the more substantial, and ; that the movements in the direction of peace have been more important than in the direction of war. The report of the armistice was receiv ed with incredulity in Paris, however, and was only acted upon on the Bourse when it was found to have raised the price of consols at London— There are those, notwithstanding, who see in this unlooked for armistice an instance of Russia’s skill in obtaining what she most at present wants — delay. . We do not consider it worth while to burden our columns with the different phases of the reported armistice, temporary delays of hostilities, or whatever it may be. The general impression appears to be that delay comes out of a new pro ject of compromise being on the carpet, though the London Daily News thinks it probable that there is only a few days allowed by the Porte for the Russian commander (Prince Gortscha koff.) to receive orders from St. Petersburg be fore Omar Pacba“finally begins operations on an extensive scale The subsequent report of the crossing of the Danube by the Turks is suppos " ed to accord with the Daily News’ version. The News adds: “From other sources we learn that the Rus sians had evacuated Kalatat, evidently with the intention of drawing the Turks from their strong position, and bringing them to battle in the open plain, with the Danube in their rear.” It is inconceivable that a General so experi enced as Omar, would fall into so perceptible a trap, and if he has crossed the river, he must have done so confident in his resources, and with the determination to meet the enemy in a pitch ed battle. The following account is given of the previ ous reported battle between the Turks and Rus sians: “ Some time since Omar Pacha sent notice to the Russian commander that if armed Russian vessels approached too near the Turkish batter ies they should be fired into. To this message Gortschakoff returned for answer that if the Russian vessels were fired into they would re turn the fire. Accordingly on the 23d ulfc., a Russian flotilla, consisting of two armed steam ers towing eight gun boats, attempted to ascend the river, from the Sulina basin to a higher point of the river, the declaration of war by Turkey, and the avowed intention of Omar Pacha to cross the Danube having rendered their presence necessary to support the main body of the Rus sians. “On coming abreast of the Turkish battery, they were summoned to stop, but not heeding the summons, were promptly fired into, and ns promptly returned the compliment. As belore mentioned, some ten or fifteen of the Russians were killed, and silty more put hors de combat. The Turkish loss is not stated, but was probably few or none, although a stiay shell set fire to the fort. The steamers crowded on steam, and badly damaged, managed to make their way up the river beyond the range ol the Turkish mis siles. Iskatchi is midway between the point of confluence of the Pruth and Danube and that part where the latter river divides into the bran ches that enclose the neutral territory. An ac count says that the flotilla when fired into was from Ismaei, and was attempting to place itself in communication with lbraila, a port in Wal lachia, situate on the left bank of the river. 1 ’ THE VERY LATEST. [From London and Liverpool bij Telegrapli.\ Wednesday, Nov. 2,1853 —The Times states in a leading article, that there is no reason to doubt, that on the 27t) of October, 3,000 Turk ish infantry, and 2.400 cavalry, crossed the Dan ube and occupied Kalafat, and that a large num ber of troops were still passing over in barges, when this news was despatched. The Russians were gathering on the point at tacked, and it was expected that a collision would take place on the 28th. For the moment there is an end to notes and diplomatic confer ence. Omar Pacha's movement appears the ex tremity of rashness, Jut he is probably forced to preserve the semblance of command. ‘After the ferocity of the hostile nations has been satisfied by the sanguinary offering of a useless and ob jectless battle, it may perhaps be possible to re assert the claims of justice and humanity’.— Whatever may be the result of this contest, it cannot alter the duty of the Western power in this emergency. Victors or vanquished, the Turks have still the same right and claim on ts e Western Pow ers: and the Times does not doubt that the same language will be held by them, whether the first operation of the war shall commence with victo ry or defeat to our allies. The article concludes as follows: “ We sincerely trust that the efforts which will be employed to light from this conflagration the flame of civil discord throughout Europe may fail of success, and that diplomacy may extin guish the fire before it be the means of setting the continent in a blaze.” The other morning papers contain a dispatch lrom bemlin, (name obscure,) received in Paris stating that 20 000 Turks crossed the Danube on the 28th ol October, near Widdin, and occupied Kalapan, which had been evacuated bv the Rus sians. The Austrian Envoy has submitted to the tsultan a draft of a note with the collective gu r anteeof the four Powers. It is stated this”note has been accepted by Russia. The next reliable news from the seat of war will therefore be of intense interest. Spain. — Mr. Soule’s Presentation to the Queen. —On the evening of the 22d, Mr. Soule, Minis ter of the United States to Spain, was admitted to an audience with the Queen. The Queen was attended by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and bj r the officers of the Palace. Afrer being usher ed in with the usual ceremonies, Mr. Soule han ded to the Queen the President’s letter accredi ting him as Envoy to the Spanish Court. The European papers had received the state ment that Mr. Soule’s first act would be to offer to purchase. General I’ezuela was preparing to leave for the Captaincy-General of Cuba, end is invested with the powers formerly enioved bv the Viceroy. Several royal decrees are published for Cuba. By one the Audiencia Court of Puerto Principe is suppressed and merged in that of Havana. By another, the third or central military comman dancy of Cuba is suppressed as well as the inten dency of Puerto Principe, and the island is to be I divided into two departments, to be called East- I ern and Western Cuba, the capitals of which are Havana and Santiago de Cuba respectively, and the dividing line the eastern limits of the Liuu tenant Governorship ot Santa Esperitus—each to be governed, as respects military and political affairs by a Commander-in-Chief dependent on ; the Captain General; and as regards economic I matters by an Intendantof Finance, under the ■ direction of the Superintendent General of the ! island. By a third decree, certain local courts j are suppressed and merged in the ordinary courts. I We mention, not for any credit to be attached ' to it, that a rumor prevails in the French capital that influential men of Spain and Portugal are plotting the union of the two crowns, the Duke of Braganza, a lad of 17 years, and son ol the Queen Donna da Maria da Gloria, to be king. The name of Narvaez is used in connection with this report. Ireland.— The Ri;#ht Rev. Dr. Ponsonby, Lord Bishop of Derry and Raphoe, died, 2Sth, at his palace, Derry, in his 83d year. His succes sor is not known. Lord Coloncurry is dead, aged 81. He is suc ceeded in his title and estates by his eldest son, the Hon. Edward Dawless. The Dublin Exhibition, on Monday evening, 31st, was closed with due solemnities by the .Lord Lieutenant, and in a few days the public will be enlightened as to the success of the en terprise, in a financial point of view. It seems barely possible that Mr. Dargan has escaped without loss. The exhibitors proposed giving him a grand banquet, on Wednesday, Nov. 2. ° The entire sum received towards the Roman Catholic University of lieland amounts to up ward of £40,000. A Roman Catholic priest who took part in the last Sligo election has been adjudged to pay a bill of £8 15s. for refreshments supplied to vo ters apparently under his direction. The Limerick and Kerry estate of the Knight of Kerry, was sold on Friday in the Encumber ed Estates Court. They realized close upon £57,000, about twenty years purchase of the net rental. Austria. —From Vienna we have rumors of contemplated risings at Milan and elsewhere in misgoverned Italy. These reports are Austrian in their origin, and evidently intended to do mischief. Miscellaneous —Fast Passage from China. — The American Ship Outsailed. —The ship Storno way, Capt. Henry L. Hart, which arrived at this port yesterday, has beaten the American ship Challenge on the voyage from China to England. The Stornoway lett Whampoa on the 14th of July. The American ship Chal lenge sailed from Whampoa for London on the 13th of July, and has not yet arrived. The Stornoway was in company with the Challenge for two days in the China seas, and when la°st seen the Challenge was dead to leeward at Gas par Straits, standing to the southward. The highest speed made was 300 miles in 24 hours, which is very great, and has not been much exceeded even by a steamer— Liverpool Nov. 3. Shipwreck. — Ttco Hundred and Fifty Lives Lost. —Letters by the overland mail convey in telligence of the lamentable wreck of a British ship supposed to be the Lady Evelyn, and a (earful sacrifice of life. She was 748 tons bur then. commanded by Capt. M’Lellan, and was the property of Messrs Herring, of Liverpool She was chartered for the conveyance ol 250 Chinese emigrants to San Fraucisco, and depart ed in every appartment safety with her liv ing freight. The catastrophe is reported to have occurred on the night of the 20th July, on one of the cluster of islands known as Typongson, in the Eastern or China Sea. She quickly went to pieces, and out ol 290 souls on board, including the crew, only six European sailors and 20 China men were saved. AUGUSTA, GaT SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 19. See first page Daily, ,this morning. Fire! On Thursday morning about five o’clock, a fire broke out in the upper part ot the city, on Ellis street, just above Campbell. It was first discovered in the stable of Mr. E. D. Robinson and before it could be arrested, the stable, a back ! store of Mr. C. Catlin and the dwelling of Mc- Guire, were consumed. From what we can learn there is no doubt but this fire was the work oi an incendiary. Eagle & Phoenix Hotel. We would call the attention of Travellers to ; the card of Mr. Prescott, the Proprietor of the above Hotel. We have now five large Hotels in our city, and if the Boarders at the Eagle & Phoenix, have correctly informed us, it is behind none of its competitors, in its accommodations. The table is supplied with the best that can be obtained; the meats and pastry well cooked, and the rooms and beds clean and comfortable. Mr. P. has had some experience in his line of business, and is one of the most affable, polite and attentive of landlords. Give him a call. Theatre. Mr. and Mrs. Crisp and Company give a per formance this evening, at Concert Hall, and have selected the thrilling Moral Tragedy of “The Gamester,” which, on its first representation was received with much applause. Also a new Farce, the “Two Bonnycastles," in which Mr. (. risp and Mr. Buxton make their appearance.— We hope to see a lull house on this occasion. New Works. We have received from Messrs. Thos. Rich ards & Son, the following new works : Jane Seaton, or the King’s Advocate, by Jas Grant, author of “ The Romance of War, ” &c. This work is highly spoken of by the press, and is said to contain one of the most accurate pic- I tures of Scottish life of the period of which it treats. The Rudiments of the Art of Building, for the use of Architects, Builders, &e. Edited by Jno. Bullock, editor of the American Partizan. This | work should be in the hands of every Mechanic, master Builder and Engineer. The above works are from the press of Messrs. Stringer & Townsend, New York. The U. S. Army.— Gen.

Our contemporary then I ex Patiates in some length upon the benefits to ! xesuit from said canal, and more particularly upon the immense losses which would be aAert ed from insurance companies and shipmasters y avoid j, nee of the dangers attendant unp voyages aroundUhe peninsula of Florida. A. G. Rose, been unanimuusly re | elected Resident of the Bank of Charleston, S. C. I he President’s Message is said to be finished • it will be sent in advance to the Post Masters in the principal cities of the Union, and by them be handed to the press, as soon as its deliveiy in Washington is reported by telegraph, to have commenced. Editors will be rejoiced to learn that President Pierce intends to be as brief and concise as possible in this, his first manifesto. Death of the Hon. Elias Reed.— We sin cerely regret to have to announce to-day. the death of the Hon. Elias Reed, one of our oldest merchants, and best citizens. He had been con fined to his bed for some days with chronic dys entery, which finally terminated his life about 2 o’clock P. M. on yesterday. Judge Reed was a native of Ridgefield, Conn., and came to Savannah in the year 1810; he soon after went into business, and since that time has been actively engaged in mercantile pursuits. 1S partner in business was Mr. Jon athan Meigs, (very recently deceased in Augus ! > a i ba.)—aname well known to the merchants ot ™ r I clt y and State. Judge R. commenced life with limited resources, yet by strict attention to business, energy and perseverance, he soon rose the possession ot a handsome fortune. Unam bitious, and unpretending, the honorable posi tions which he held at various times, of Aider man, Judge ol the Inferior Court, Director and President of the Marine and Fire Insu ance Bank, were conlerred upon him unasked through confidence in his integrity and ability.’ Upright and honorable in all his dealings— plain and unaffected in his manners—remarkably com panionable, and as a host, kind and courteous public spirited and liberal few’ men had stronger claims than he to the friendship and esteem of his fellow men ; nor will any depart ing, be more sincerely regretted, or leave behind, warmer and more devoted friends. ~ eed at the time of his decease was in tne 68th year of his age—his death leaves a void in this community which will be painfully felt, and long remain unfilled.-SaramwA Republican, 16 th mst. r [Correspondence of the Const. & Republic.] Milledgeville, Nov. 15th, 1853. Mr. Editor . —The first business in the House this morning was the consideration of the bill of Dr. Phillips, advancing $20,000 per diem pay to members of the Legislature. This bill, as may be supposed, was passed without any difficult)*. The Clerk was ordered to inform the Senate forthwith of the passage of the bill. The regu lar business of the day was the reading of bills the second time ; the Clerk, therefore, proceeded to read the bills reported on yesterday. The rules of the House were, on motion, suspended. A resolution was adopted, directing the Clerk to intorm the Senate, that the House would be ready to receive them at II o’clock, for the pur pose of proceeding to the elections appointed for to-day. The rules of the House were still farther sus pended, for the purpose of permitting Mr. Dodd, of Coweta, to report a bill. This bill is entitled an act to make the decisions of the Supreme Court uniform. The Senate repaired to the Repiesentative chamber, and the General As sembly proceeded to the following elections : Judge of Supreme Coutt, to fill the va cancy of Judge Warner—Starnes 220 N is bet l Blank 2 Cone 2 Wellborn 1 Judge for six years ensuing—Benning 120 Nisbet no Blank 2 State House officers—Comptroller General, E-S. Candler 193 Blank 12 Surveyor—James A. Greene 106 P. M. Compton 122 Blank 2 State Treasurer—Walter H. Mitchell 107 John B. Trippe 120 Blank 2 Watkins 1 Secretary of State—N. C. Barrett 98 E. P. Watkins 131 W. H. Mitchell 1 Blank ; 1 The Senate re?iied. On motion ot Mr. Mc- Dougald 150 copies of the Standing Committees of the House were ordered to be printed. The House then adjourned until 10 o’clock to-mor row morning. The election of Judge Starnes is highly grati fying to his friends. The able manner in which he discharged the duties of a Judge of the Superior Court for four years, received, as it deserved, the decided approval of the bar, and the public. The reputation for legal abilities which he brought to his present elevated position, will be greatly en hanced, and the day is not far distant when his decisions, which now receive the admiration of his immediate fellow-citizens, will be regarded as commanding authority abroad. Mr. Benning, though without experience as a Judge, i- admitted by his political opponents to be a gentleman of sound legal attainments.— That he will come up to the full measure of the requisite qualities of a Judge of the Supreme Court there can be no doubt. Os unimpeacha ble integrity, of a high order of native talent and of untiring industry, Mr. Benning, regarded at present by those who know him as without an intellectual superior in the State, will win for himself in his new sphere, an exalted place among the distinguished jurists of our country. The defeat of Mr. Green, the nominee of the Democratic caucus, by P. M. Compton, the pre sent incumbent, and a Whig, is a matter deeply to be regretted. I regret this defeat the more from the fact, that Mr. Green is a true and tried Democrat, and a gentleman of a high tone of character, and possessed of all the requisite qual ifications for the discharge of the duties of the office. Mr. Green is the only Democrat thus lar, who has been defeated. While it is to be hoped (hat he will be the only one, it is to be hoped further, that the party will call his abili ties into requisition in some other position. Senate, Nov. 15th, 1853. BILLS REPORTED. By Mr. Williamson : a bill lor the relief of poor children in the county of Newton. By Mr. Murray: a bill to compensate Petit Jurors in Franklin.

By Mr. Singleton: a resolution, that the Comptroller General report to the Senate, the amount of taxes paid by each county. The re solution was adopted. By Mr. Robinson : a resolution, that the com mittee on the Judiciary be instructed to examine and report upon the propriety of forming a crim inal court to have jurisdiction over all criminal offences. The Senate were assembled during the great er part of the morning in the Repretentative chamber, engaged in the elections of Judges of the Supreme Court and State House officers.— After they returned to their own hall, on mo tion, they adjourned until 10 o’clock to-morrow morning. 1 he irustees of the University of Georgia i were in session on yesterday morning. 1 under stand they elected two tutors, W. H. Waddel,of the class of 1852, tutor in ancient languages and Mr. Stanley, of Clark county, tutor in Mathe matics. In my letter ol yesterday, I reported the pro ceedings of the Senatus Academicus, and re marked upon the necessity ot rendering it prac tically useful. The Senatus Academicus was in stituted as early as 1785, and was, according to j the law, to be composed of two boards, a “Board |ot Trustees,” and a “ Board of Visitors.” By a . subsequent act, the Senatorial branch of the Gen eral Assembly was constituted that Board of Vis l itors. This act was adopted in consequence of the ; previous adoption of a law making the public schools in the several counties in the State mem bers of the University, and rendering it incum bent upon the members of the Senatus Academ icus previous to this meeting “to obtain an ac quaintance with the state and regulations of the schools in their respective counties.” This infor mation was to be laid before the Senatus Aca demicus, and that body was then to prescribe the kind of instruction to be taught in each school. It was reasonable to suppose that the Senators would be able to obtain the information sought, more readily than any Board of Visitors, which could be constituted. At present no such information is laid before the Senatus Aca demicus, and if the law was thus far fully car ried out, I doubt the capacity of the Trustees or the Senate to pronounce upon the merits of different systems of instruction. The informa tion, however, would be valuable, and would, in the hands ot competent persons, become the means of advancing educational interests in our State. The Legislature ought either to adopt some plan by which Senators would be com pelled to furnish precise and full information upon these subjects or abolish the institution al together. As it exists at present it is a subject of ridicule for every stranger visiting the capi tal, and a subject of mortification to every Geor gian who feels interested in the cause of educa tion in his State. R. Milledgeville, Nov. 16th, 1853. Mr. Editor : The house met this morning pursuant to adjournment. The rules of the house were suspended and a bill which had passed the Senate, changing the time ot holding the Superior Court ot Paulding county, was taken up and, on motion adopted.

Mr. Irwin also introduced the following reso lutions : Resolved,by the Senate and House of Rcprescnta~ lives, of the State of Georgia in General Assembly met, That while we approve the sentiments and doctrines promulgated in the inaugural address of President Pierce, we can only regard his at tempts to produce harmony in the Northern Democratic Party, by inviting known freesoilers to participate in the administration of the gov ernment, as a compromise ot principle and as an amnesty to factions, that have for years been ar rayed against the Union and the Constitution. 2. That the sentiment of devotion to the Union and the Constitution, carried President Pierce into power, and that all efforts by his ad ministration to force the recognition of freesoil ers as sound and true men, by placing them in offices of honor and profit, are in direct opposi tion to that great national sentiment, and an out rage upon the popular judgment. 3. That the appointment of men to important offices, who were prominent actors in the free soil movement at Buffalo in 1848, is an insult to the people of the South, and to the sound and true men of the North. 4. That we heartily sympathise with the Hon: David S. Dickinson, of New York, and his noble associates in their efforts to purge the National Democratic party of its freesoil element, and that we hereby tender to them our heartfelt gratitude for their patriotic devotion to the Union and the Constitution. sth. I hat it is inexpedient and unjust for Congress to appropriate money, from the public Treasury, to aid in constructing the great Rail road, now in contemplation, from the Mississppi to the Pacific, or to grant the public lands for a like purpose, they being the property of all the States, old as well as new. On a motion of Dr. Phillips, to print 200 cop ies of the lesolutions, the yeas and nays were called for, and were, yeas, 51; nays, 61. So the motion was rejected. The House then adjourned 1 hese resolutions will probably cause some discussion in the House, when they come up for final considera* ion.

GENERAL COMMISSION AND PRODUCE MERCHANT, Augusta, Georgia. Office, Broad Street, opposite tho Bank of Brunswick. d<lc nov 6 The tr i um pLant success of the groat Arabian remedy for man and beast, H. G. Farrell’s celebrated Arabian Liniment, is causing counterfeits to spring up all over the coun f try, spreading their baneful influence o.er the s lacd, robbing the pockets of the honest and un suspecting, by imposing upon them worthless and poisonous trash, for tho genuine H. G. Farroll’s Arabian Liniment. Fellow Citizens! Look well 0 before you buy, and see that the label of tho bot -1 tie has the letters H. G. bofore Farrell’s, for if it has not, it is counterfeit. The label around each bottle of the genuine Liniment reads thus: “H. G. Farrell’s Celebrated Arabian Liniment;” and 3 tho signature of proprietor is written upon the label also, and these words are blown in the glass bottlo, “H. G. Farrell s Arabian Liniment, Peoria.” 1 The daring boldness of the recreant who would deceive the people by imposing upon them worth -5 less trash, for a really genuine and good medicine, thus not only cheating them out of their money, but that which is far dearer—their health—ought ’ to be hold up in scorn, and receive tho contempt his dartardly spirit merits. Let every one then who regards his own health, and wishes truth and ’ honesty to triumph over deception and rascality, put his heel on all base impositions, and uphold that which is just and right. Tho genuine H. G. I ; Farroll’s Arabian Liniment has proved itself to be , tho most remarkable medicine known for the cure i of rheumat sm, neuralgia, pains, wherever located, I sprains, bruises, hardened lumps burns, wounds, corns, chronic sore and weak eyes, lame back, etc.; and is an effectual remedy for horses and cattle in the cure of sweeny, distemper, lamenoss, dry shoul dor, splint, wounds, etc., and will always stop the further progress of poll-evil, fistula, ringbone and blood spavin, if used in the beginning. Look out for Counterfeits. —The public are cau tioned against another counterfeit, which has late ly made its appearance, called \V. B.Farrelbs Ara bian Liniment, the most dangerous of all tho coun terfeits, because his having tho name of Farrel-, many will buy it in good faith, without tho knov - i ledge that a counterfeit exists, and they will, per haps, only discover their error when the spurious "mixture has wrought its evil effects. The genuinoarticlo is manufactured only by H G. Farrell, sole inventor and proprietor, and whole sale druggist, No. 17 Main street, Peoria, Illinois' to whom all applications for Agencies must be ad dressed. Be sure you get it with the letters H.
