Halifax, Dec. Bth.—The steamer Niagara’ with Liverpool dates of Nov. 26th, has arrived. She brings intelligence that hostilities had ceased between the Turks and Russians, in Europe, lor the winter, but that in the mean time the Turks continued to be successful over the Russians in Asia. New attempts at re conciliation were being made. The steamer Arctic arrived out on the 23d. She got ashore for a few hours on Burbo Bank, during a fog, but sustained no damage. The steamer Golden Age refuses to carry the mails to Australia, on the small terms offered, but Capt. Porter offers to carry private letters without charge. Egypt had prohibited the export of grain. There were more rumors of diplomatic notes, but none that could be relied upon. For the present, hostilities have ceased all along the Moldavian and Wallaehian lines. Floods in the Danube prevent operations, but it was expected that fighting would be renewed. Letters from Vienna, of the 23d, state that Omar Pasha bad received orders from Constantinople to prosecute the war with vigor, and that the Czar bad sent similar instructions to Gortscha koff. In the meantime, diplomacy was again ac tive. On the 7th, the British steamer Fury brought to Constantinople the draft of a new Anglo-French note, which the Porte declined to consider. Latest from the Seat of War. Letters from Constantinople of the 10th show that the operations at Oltenitza were only a feigned attack cn the part of the Turks, designed to deceive Gortschakoff. The plan succeeded and Omar Pasha is combining bis troops to at tack the division of Gen. Ludcrs, in Bessarabia, the Ottoman fleet in the Black Sea to co-op erate with the land forces in the attack. The Porte has received from the British and French ambassadors a-ssurances of effective co-operation in case of need, so that the fleet can be sent into the Black Sea without the fear of leaving the capital exposed. The Paris Patrie has a despatch from Vienna dated Nov. 21st stating that the Russian army had received orders to assume the offensive and cross the Danube. A more comprehensive proposal had been pre pared at Paris by Napoleon. It was said that Count Walowskv, the French Minister at Lon don, bad returned from Paris with the draft of this treaty, agreed to by France and England, in which the other powers would be invited to join. If the Austrian statements are to be cred ited the Czar has replied to an enquiry ot Aus tria that he will propose a project oi peace. The Sultan is said to be equally disposed to come to terms, but will not be the first to retract. He has, however, sent Faud Eflendi as Imperial Commissioner to the army on the Danube to re strain the older of Omar Pacha, and thus give diplomacy another chance. The following is tne present position of mili tary affairs. Omar Pasha holds Kalafat with ; 30,000 troops, and is fortifying himself in the strongest manner in the triangle between Kra fora, Kalafat and Marobia, thus securing com munication between both banks, and having the base ot his operations to act on in Lesser Walla chia. The Turks under lshmael Pasha had fought the Russians under Gen. Bach, and took them. A rumor from Vienna which is not credited, says that the Turks had been ordered lrom Constantinople to abandon Kalafat. It is said that Omar Pasha gave as a reason for re-crossing the Danube, that Gen Parlolf ex posed his troops to a superior force, and was beaten, but that re-inforcements arriving to the Russians so as to make them twice as strong as the Turks, he had retired to avert the same dis aster that befell Parloff. On tbe 15th, the Turks attempted to surprise the Russian post of Turnal, but were discovered and returned to Kalafat. The Turks must soon abandon the Islands op posite Tortukai and Kustuch as the rise of the Danube overflows them. The Russian Bulletin says that their batteries drove the Turks from the Island opposite Giur gevo, but tbe latest accounts say that tiie Turks still hoid it. The successes of the Turks in Asia continue to be most brilliant. The Egyptian squadron keep watch on the coast from Trelisonds to Redoubt Kale. More Turkish ships were en tering the Black Sea, and a Naval battle was daily expected. The Turks had captured fort St. Nicholas and now hold it, having repulsed the Russ ans three times. The militia ot Al aronstan who had been equipped by Russia had gone over to the Turks. MARKETS. Liverpool , Nov. 26.—Cotton is unchanged ex cept upon the lower grades, which have slightly improved.

The Turks have defeated the Russians in the highlands of Armenia. An engagement occurred on the Asiatic fron tiers of Georgia, between the Turks and Rus sians, under Prince Bariatiucki. The Russian accounts claim a victory 011 the occasion. On the 16th the Angio-French fleet was con centrated on the Bosphorus, but, up to the 14tb, none of the vessels had entered the Black Sea. The Turkish squadron is said to have chased the Russian ships that were attempting to land supplies at Pote, but the Russians escaped, An other division ottbe Turkish fleet is to enter the Black Sea and intercept Russian communica tions with the coast of Asia. The inhabitants of Constantinople are said to be enthusiastic for war, and it is considered to be a bad time for the renewal of negotiations. The rumors circulated of Turkish persecutions against the Cbristions are false. The house of Battazzi has loaned to the Porte 7,000.000 francs, secured on the Egyptian tri bute. The Servians are determined to oppose any invasion of their territory by the Austrians, Rus sians or Turks. In Walla:hia the millitiaare much opposed to being incorporated in the Russian army.

The European journals furnish a variet) of items of interest: The Irish grain markets were said to be slow- j ly receding, and in some places there was a com plete glut of provisions. The farmers weie j sending great quantities of potatoes to market, and a number of caigoes were being exported to \ England. In the markets of the Paris district, the price ofcorn had slightly declined. In the Irish markets, considerable American j orders had been received and prices were well sustained. The Earl of Seafield is elected a representative Peer of Scotland, in room of the late Lord Sal toun. The Earl of Eglintoun is re-elected Rector of the University of Glasgow, by a small majority over Tennyson, the poet. We learn from Plymouth, Nov. 15, that the American frigate, Constitution, Commodore Mayo, was at Fernando Po on the 2d ot Octo ber, and an American sloop of war was at Mon rovia on the 21st of September. We learn by a despatch from Marseilles, that 77 ships, laden with wheat, arrived in that port in two days, and that two hundred and sixty vessels, also laden with corn, arrived at Constan tinople from the Black Sea, between October 18 and November 1. It is understood that a large sum in Russian half imperials was, on the 15th ult., withdrawn from the Bank of England for shipment to St. Petersburg and Odessa. f Meetings are continually held in London Manchester, and other large cities, at which re solutions are passed in favor of Turkey, and in praise of the S jltan. We notice in the London legal reports rather an amusing report of Douglas Jerrold being sued by his tailor 10r,£19 65., for two suits of clothes, supplied to his son-in-law, Horace Mayhew.— Alter giving evidence not complimentary to Mayhew’s habits of economy, he escaping with out paying for his other habits, verdict was giv en lor the defendant. The Pas Univers publishes an incident, and guarantees its truth. After the publication of the first manifesto of the Emperor Nicholas, con cluding with these words: “We will march to defend the orthodox faith,” two Poles serving in a regiment in Bessarabia waited on the colonel and said to him, ‘‘ We have just read the Empe ror’s manifesto, and we desi.e to act as good sol diers; we request our discharge, because, as Catholics, we cannot fight for the Greek laith.” The colonel wrote to St. Petersburg for instruc tions, and the reply was, “ Let them be shot !” They were accordingly executed, and tour otheis met a similar fate. An Arab chief, of the Provinces of Aleppo, has offered to raise and arm 5,000 men, at his own expense, to aid the Sultan. The offer is accepted. The number of guns—French, Eng lish, Turkish and Egyptian—now at the Sultan’s service is five thousand. The Battle in AsrA. —The steamer from Trebizonde had brought to Constantinople de spatches of great interest from Selim Pacha, who is directing the operations of the Turkish forces near Batoum. We have already published the telegraphic account of the severe engagement that was fought October 24th, and which resul ted in the defeat of the Russians. Fuller details are at haad by this arrivai. On the morning ol the 24th, Major Massa Bey, having been sent forward with a company to reconnoitre the forti fications the Russians were making on the other side of the Tchouroak-sou, was received by a fire of musketry, which he immediately returned, and on sending for reinforcements, Selim Pacha despatched several battalions to his aid. The Russians, in the meantime, also increased in j numbers, and the engagement soon became gen -1 eial between the two armies. Selim crossed ! Tchouroak-sou at several points, and drove the Russians back, alter encountering a very serious resistance. The Russians were obliged to re treat, pui sued as far as Oieii by the Turk.sh General Hassan Pacha. The bulk of the Rus sian forces retreated to Chevkedy. In this first action the Turks took two pieces of cannon and made 161 prisoners, besides killing and wound ing 600 of the enemy. At Chevkedy a most determined fight has since taken place. The Russians received rein forcements there, and then made a stout resis tance to the Turkish attack. Selim took the town by atorm, after two assaults. At length the Russians gave way, leaving a great number ! of deod, three canon, and upwards of 100 prison ers, among them Col. Klatt, a chief of the Cos sacks. The Turks found among the booty 3,000 sacks of flour, 1,700 muskets, and a large quanti ! ty of ammunition. The prisoners are sent on to Constantinople. Selim concludes his dispatch by announcing that he is about to march on Sohoun Kale, having sent out two regiments of calvary and three batteries of field artillery in pursuit of the enemy. Before surrendering Chevkedy, the Russian commander set lire to it in several places, and the most of it was laid in ashes. Hessen Pacha is pushing on by forced marches to keep open the communication be , tween Selim and Abdi Pacha. The Turks state their own loss at the passage of Tchourouk-sou at 60 dead, and 150 wounded, and at Chevkedy 150 dead, and 300 wounded. ihe *" Africanization of Cuba” Story.— Another Refutation of It. —The English papers by the Europe, contain a correspondence between Mr. K. L. Corbin, of Va., (dated at Paris, Nov. 14th,) and Lord Howden, the British Ambassa sador at Madrid, relative to the English Afri canization of Africa scheme of which we, on this side of the Atlantic, have lately heard so much. Mr. Corbin refers to the allegations of the Washington Union, upon the subject, and, though denying his belief in them, calls upon his Lordship to speak with some definitiveness on the subject. Lord Howden’s reply is dated also at Pans, and after giving the whole story an unqualified contradiction, states that during the last three years his negotiations with Spain have been with the view of stopping the irn jiortation of slaves into Cuba; and in endeavor ing (without success,) to induce the Spanish government to follow the example of the United States, and declare the slave trade to be piracy. He has, he says, after much solicitation, persua ded Spain to obtain the ultimate and complete | freedom of those negroes called “ Emancipados,” 1 who have been fraudulently detained in bond age since the year 1817, in disregard of treaties. And further, be has been endeavoring to pro cure an abrogation of that intolerant law by which foreigners wishing to settle in Cuba, are obliged to change their religion.

Jefferson Davis Secretary of War, contains a variety of interest ing facts, and lecommends several important re forms in the army of the United States. The following is a condensed view of its prominent statements and suggestions: The authorised strength of the United States army is 13,821 men and officers; but the actual strength, according to the latest returns, is only 10,417, of which number 8,378 are employed in the frontier departments, or are now on their way to them. It is stated, further, that the measures taken ior the protection of our frontiers have been successful; that the troops everywhere have been actively and constantly employed; that Indian depredations have been comparative ly unirequent, and except in California and Ore gon, have not attained more than a local impor tance. New posts are to be established in the Indian country west of the Missippi, in more favorable positions, to enable the Department to dispense with a number ot the smaller and less important posts. A greater force is also to be employed for the protection of the emigrants crossing the plains. A majority of the cases of Indian depredations in lexas which have come to the knowledge of the Department, have been by Indians from Mexican territory. Maj. Gen. Smith, aided by an experienced officer of engineers, is selecting sites for permanent fortifications on the Rio Grande—one of which will be opposite El Paso and another at the Camanche crossing. It is the intention of the Department that, as soon as possible, a considerable force shall be sent to the Pacific coast, and one of the Brigadier Generals of the Army ordered to the command. Nine companies of artillery are posted in Florida, j to aid the effort now in progress there to effect the removal of the Indians. Coercive measures are to be used if found necessary. Two of the regiments ot artillery are to be arranged on the Canadian frontier and the Atlantic and Gulf coasts; a third on the Rio Grande boundary, and a fourth on the Pacific coast. Os the cavalry re giments, one will be required in Texas, one in New Mexico, and the remaining are for the Western frontier. A fourth regiment of cavalry is asked of Congress by the Secretary. Three regiments of infantry are required in Texas, be sides two on the frontier west of the Mississippi, one in New Mexico, and one in the Indian coun try of the Pacific. It is the purpose of the de partment to post the troops in large bodies at commanding positions, instead of dispersing them among numerous small posts. In consequence of the difficulty of keeping the ranks full, the Secretary proposes—lst, an in crease of the present pay of the common soldier; 2d, an additional increase for each successive period of five years, so long as he shall remain in the Army; 3d, provision for the promotion to the lowest grades of commissioned officers ot such of the non-commissioned officers of the army as may be found qualified for, and by their charac ter and services entitled to, such advancement. Also, that every soldier»who, having been hon orably dischargad from,the service of the United States, shall, within one month thereafter, re enlist, shall be entitled to two dollars per month in addition to the ordinary pay of his grade for the first period of five years after the expiration of his first enlistment, and a further sum of one dollar per month for each successive period of five years; so long as he shall remain continuously in the Army. The Secretary argues elaborately in favor of the increase of the army, showing the actual ne cessity for such a measure, He recommends that the minin'utn organization of all companies be fixed, as in the mounted riib sen, at 64 privates, and that there be added to th_ present military establishment one regiment of dragoons and two regiments of riflemen, which would give a mini mum organization of 13,528 officers and men, which may be expanded, if the limit fixed by the law of June 7th, 1850, be continued, to 17,414, and on a war establishment, ot 128 privates per company, to 27,818, thus providing for a state of war an effective increase ot from 10.000 to 12,000 men without the creution of new regiments. Gen. Scott recommends a larger increase. The Secretary recommends, also, that another com pany of sappers and miners be added to the en gineer corps. With a number of other recommendations cal culated to render the army more efficient and ca pable of enduring the hardships of active service, the Secretary prodteds to speak of the necessity of encouraging regularity and uniformity in the militia; and in connection with this subject, he recommends providing the militia with the pro per hooks for tactical instructions. The condi tion of the Military Academy is favorably spoken ot, and the Academic term is by the Board, re commended to be increased to five years. AUGUSTA, GA. TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 13. The President’s Message. The rapidly increasing power of the Ameri can Union, which has now towered to a gigan tic height among the nations of the earth, has often suggested the apprehension, among strict constructionists, that under its shadow the po litical powers of the several States composing it might dwindle, and that the common agent, grown arrogant with the consciousness of strength, might insolently transcend its legiti mate functions, and assume mastery over its principals. That such is the natural tendency of things, no one will deny, for the political consequence of a State now makes a lar less forcible impression upon the imagination than when our Union of thirteen confederated sovereignties began its ca reer. Then it was an infant government, whose very existence was an experiment. Now it has grown to be colossal, not only in its physical at tributes, but in those moral elements, which im press its influences upon the world, and are moulding the opinions and destinies ot mankind In contemplating this imposing spectacle, the American citizen may insensibly incline to a transfer ot all of his admiration and attachments from the immediate State government in which he lives, to the splendid creation of Republican power and grandeur, which sprung from and owes all its vitality to these State organizations. It is good, therefore, to recur, on stated occasions, to first principles, and while rejoicing in the be nificent workings of our system, comprehend the source of its power and the secret of its efficiency. The Message of President Pierce brings the mind to a timely pause on this point. It is one of the soundest and best State Rights document* ever issued to the American people, and is put forth at a time peculiarly opportune. Being his first Message to Congress, it indicates that his Administration will be in strict conformity to that same school of State Rights and strict con struction which claims Thomas Jefferson as its founder, and of which the New Hampshire De mocracy have been steadfast disciples. It is a pledge to the country, that the movements of the Federal Government, with all its vast power and influence, will at least, for the next four yeais,be kept strictly within the line ol its constitutional functions, and that there will be no exercise du ring that time of “doubtful powers.” It is a pledge, that the States shall not find their com mon agent and creature, now powerful and great, with an overflowing treasury, and an unbounded credit, and with temptations the most dazzling to use both, either forgetful of its origin or un faithful to its trust. It the legislative arm be raised to clutch a right it unlawfully covets, 0,- squanders a treasure it should guaid, the Execu tive shield of the veto will be interposed to ar rest the usurpation. For four years, at least, the tendency to con solidation inherent in the federal system, and which requires unceasing watchfulnesses pro vided against. The Democratic policy of strict construction, so steadily professed, yet marked by occasional deviations which public sentiment temporarily countenanced, will now receive the fixed impress of the national will, and be stamp ed upon the national archives in a manner not to be effaced. There is a Democratic majority in both branches of Congress, holding the same fundamental doctrines with the President. Al lowing for some latitude of opinion in individual cases, onjsolated points, it is hoped theie will be enough in each house to sustain and co-operate with the President in all the leading views he has presented. l'he Message is a model document in its fun" damental opinions, and the firm determination to maintain them it exhibits—in its elevated patri otism of sentiment—in its fearless Americanism of tone, and bold yet just spirit of progress and expansion—in its conservatism, which shows it self alike in its respectful deference to the rights of the States of the Union, and of foreign nations. It is a model in the style of its composition.— It is perspicuous, forcible and graceful. It is of reasonable length, being neither didactic nor argumentative, but embodying facts and stating propositions in compact and comp:ehensib!e form. Ihe only views presented in reference to an ticipated legislation, about which serious differ ences exist among Democrats, are under the head of Internal Improvements. These views are in accordance with an elaborate editorial of the W ashing ton Onion, which recently appeared, and which has met the approbation of the great mass of the Democracy, North and South. Local in terests may and will array themselves to ex empt particular works from the application of these views, but their general soundness will be acquiesced in, and will control the legislation of the country. I he following paragraphs, so truly and so for cibly embody the Jeffersonian theory of our go vernment, and express so accurately the senti ments of the State Rights school of construction ists, that they deserve a place in the text-books of the rising generation. It is evident that a confederation so vast and so va ried, both in numbers and in territorial extent, in hab its ind in interests, could only be kept in national co hesion by the strictest fidelity to the principles of the constitution, as understood by those who have adhered to the most restricted construction oi the powers granted by the people and the States. Interpreted and applied according to those principles, the great com pact adapts itself with healthy ease and freedom to an unlimited extension of that benign system of federa tive self-government, of which it is our glorious and, I trust, immortal charter. Lot us, then, with r*dou bled vigilance, be on our guard against yielding to the ; temptatioh of the exercise of doubtful powers, even under the pressure of the motives of conceded tempo- i rary advantage and apparaut temporary expediency, j The minimum of federal government, compatible ' with the maintenance of national unity and efficient I action in our relations with the rest of the world, should atford the rule and measure of construction of our powers under the general clauses of the coustitu tion. A spirit of strict deference to the sovereign rights and dignity of every State, rather than a disposition to subordinate the States into a provincial relation to the central authority, should characterize all our exercise of the respective powers temporarily vested in us as a sacred trust from the generous confidence of our con stituents. . In like manner, as a manifestly indispensible condi tion of the perpetuation of the Union, and of the reali zation of that magnificent national future adverted to, does the duty become yearly stronger and clearer upon us, as citizens of the several States, to cultivate a fra ternal and affectionate spirit, language, and conduct, in regard to other States, and in relation to the varied interests, institutions, and habits of sentiment and opinion, which may respectively characterize them.— Mutual forbearance, respect, and nou-interfenca in our personal action as citizens, and an enlarged exercise of the most liberal principles of comity in the public dealiugs of State with State, whether i" legislation or in the execution of laws, are the means to perpetuate that confidence aud fraternity, the decay of which a mere political union, on so vast a scale, could not long survive.

Dechalumau, Roquinet was well sustaned by Mr. Corby, as were the other characters. Madame Pougaud, in La Manola, took the house by storm.
