England. —On the evening of Monday, the
34th of July, a most animated debate took place
in the Houses of Lords and Commons on the
Queen’s message, soliciting a vote of credit to
carry on the war.
The following is the message:
VICTORIA REGINA.
Her Majesty, deeming it expedient to provide
for any additional expense which may arise in
consequence of the war in which her Majesty is
now engaged against the Emperor of Russia, re-
Jies on the affection of the Houses of Lords and
Commons for their concurrence in such mea
sures as may be necessary for making provision
- accordingly.
In the House of Lords an affirmative address
was formally agreed to.
In the Commons. Lord John Russell said that
a present vote of three m.llions of pounds ster
ling (.£3,000,000) was required.
Lord Dudley Stuart moved that the Chairman
report progress, but eventually withdrew his mo
tion on the understanding that he would renew
the discussion on the committee’s report, and
would move an address against the prorogation
of Parliament.
The vote was agreed to.
The distinguished cavalry regiment, the Scots
Greys, was embaikedon the screw steamer Hi
malaya, at Liverpool, and would sail on Wednes
day, the 26th of July, direct for Varna, at which
place it was expected they would be disembark
ed in twelve days. The Himalaya had just been
purchased by the British government for £140,-
000 sterling.
An or ter has been issued that British soldiers
in the East shall wear moustaches and if they
please, beard.
Sir George Gray, Governor of New Zealand,
is appointed Governor of the Cape of Good Hope.
Col. Freeman Murray is appointed Governor of
Bermuda, and Henry Durre Labouchere is ap
pointed unpaid attache to the British legation at
Washington.
Father Matthew, being in poor health, has
been offered a free passage from Liverpool to
Madeira, by the owners of the Brazilian line of
steamers.
J. R. Hind, London, has discovered another
new planet. It is like a star of the tenth mag
nitude, and situated almost exactly upon the
ecliptic, about midway between two stars of
fifth magnitude—29 and 32 of Hamsteed in Cap
ricornas. Was first seen 11:45 mean time, eight
of 22d. -
France —The Emperor and Empress had ar
, rived at the baths of Briatz at Bordeaux, and
elsewhere on the route, they were received with
the warmest acclamations.
Cholera is raging at Marseilles. One hundred
and twenty deaths are reported daily. Many of
the inhabitants have fled from the city. At
Nancy it is also very violent.
A Russian ship, named Orion, sailing under
Tuscan colors, was captured off Leghorn, on the
19th inst, by the French steam sloop Averne,
and taken into Toulon.
The mother of Ledru Rolliu was buried .in
Paris on the 22d, at the advanced age of 85.
Three severe shocks of earthquake were felt
at Bareges, at a quarter of three o’clock, on the
morning of the 20th of July.
Italy.—lt is telegraphed from Vienna, Sun
>my 23d, that an insurrection has broken out in
* Parma. The inhabitants fired from the roofs and
windows. Austrian troops, will, perhaps, enter
* the Duchy, and occupy the military posts
A pamphlet of Mazzini’s on Sardinian affairs,
is at present circulating secretly in Sardinia and
j Lombardy.
■l 12th, but surely cannot be true, that the seals of
official despatches to the American and English
embassies, are regularly tampered with, by the
agents of the Neapolitan government. The let
ter adds that they are afraid to meddle with the
letters of France.
Important from Spain.— General Everesta
San Miguel is named Minister of War. His
nomination was received with enthusiasm by the
people. The Infant Don Ferdinando, brother of
the King, is dead. Count Montemolino, accom-
panied by General Elio, has entered Navarre,
1 where a Carlist movement has broken out. .The
French government is about to establish a corps
Ks of observation on the Pyrenean frontier.
~~7P Queen Christina had disembarked at Port a
Vendres. Queen Isabella had not left Madrid.
On the morning of the 19fh ultimo, the insur
gents of Madrid sacked the palace of Queen
Christina, in the Calle de las Rejas, and the man
sion of M. Salamanca, at the Recoletos, along the
Prado. Christina had to take refuge in the roy
al palace, and afterwards fled towards Frame.
A report circulated that she was taken prisoner,
but this statement was not true. At Martes,
near Granada, a battle was fought between the
forces of O’Donnell and hlaser. It is stated that
the Count de Vista Hermosa and Geaeial Blaser
(roya ists) weie wounded and taken prisoners,
pr There seems to be no present intention on the
Eart of the insurgents to dethrone Isabella. The
►utchess of Montpensier has no party whatev
er in favor of herself or her French connections.
Private letters from Madrid say that the effect

various sources we collect the following:
Madrid, July 17.—Valadolid declared yestei
dayforthe movement. The Captain General
and Governor are prisoners. Progreoista gener
als have taken command of the troops. The
Ministry has just resigned. The Queen has sent
for General Cordova. Risings in Catalonia are
spoken of.
A letter from Madrid to the London Times
■tates that, on the evening of the 19th. the fight
ing was still active in various parts of Madrid.
- The insurgents were fearfully incensed against
the Queen Mother, and were_calling loudly for
her head. As was stated, her palace on the
Calle de las Rejas was attacked and gutted. The
people then rushed to the residence ot Sartorias,
Count de San Luis, the unpopular minister,
where they smashed all.the furniture, and nearly
demolished the building. The residence of M
Salamanda, whose railroad speculations in con
nection with Christina and her clique are so
notorious, was'demolished. Count Quinto, late
alcalde corregidor of Madrid, had also his house
pulled down. The streets where the lighting
was hottest w’ere the Calle Ancha San Bernardo,
jjg| a long, wide street, extending from the palace,
to the gate which leads to the suburban village
of Chamberri ; the Piazuela San Domingo itself;
the Plaze del Oriente, in front of the Royal pal
ace ; the Calle de Pesciados; the well known
Pueria del Sol, which is in the centre of the city
and upon which open the six principal streets of
Madrid, namely, the San Geronimo, Carretos,
Mayer, Carmen, Montera,and Alcala, the Calle
Alcala and the Plaza Mayer. In all these, as
well as the Calle Atocha, barricades had been
thrown up and vigorously defended by the peo
pie. Troops had occupied the post office in the
Fuerta del Sol.
The following address was handed to the Qeen
by a commission of citizens appointed to demand
an audience:
Srnora.— The undersigned, Spanish citizens
and interpreters of the wishes rnd desires of the

but in restoring to the people the rights that
have been usurped from them, respecting their
principles of morality and justice, removing from

appeared from on board. Numerous transports,
with the baggage, &c., of the French expedition
ary land force, have passed the Sound. Bemar
sound, in the Aland Islee, is to be bombarded on
the arrival of the French troops. Martial law
has been proclaimed at Riga, aud in the district
of the Duna, in consequence of the disaffection
of the inhabitants towards Russia,
It is assumed by French and English politi
cians that if the Western Powers take and keep
possession of the important position of the Aland
Islee, Sweden will no longer hesitate to join
their alliance. The fleet of ninety gunboats
(Anglo French) is now completed and organiz
ed into the three squadrons. The bulk of the
allied fleet has put to sea, and is supposed to be
crusing off the Gulf of Bothia.
From the Black Sea we learn that, on the 13th
es July, three English steamers arrived off Odes
sa, and, after a heavy cannonade destroyed some
small works near the spot where the steam frigate
Tiger went ashore. The object of the attack
was to complete the destruction of the Tiger, to
prevent her machinery being available to the
Russians.
The rest of the troops were at sea.

i tier is incorrect.
From the Danube we hear that on the 19th

which the Russians are reported to have been
i | completely defeated, with two of their Generals
? | killed. YVe have few or no details of this second
. battle.
» ' The present situation of things on the Danube,
j may be told in a very few words. All parties
i are waiting for the advance of Austria. General
i Gortschakoff commands in person the 70,000

t | posed to be under Ostensacken, are posted at
I Budeschti, on the left bank of the Argich, to
, \ guard against any attack from the Turks at

i ! will not hazard any general engagement, unas
sisted by his allies. As to the allies, their mo
i tions are slow, but it is evident they are syste
matic, and drawing to an end that shall be de
. i cisive.
i General Gortschakoff announces that he will
. hold the Danube provinces with 200,000 men if
? necessary. He also orders that to all official do
. cuments published in the Principalities, in which
. the name of the Emperor Nicholas occurs, the
, | title of ‘‘Protector ol the Principalities ol the
, j Danube” shall be added. Three Austrian offi
j cers of rank, arrived at Schumla, 10th July, and
t ! immediately left for Varna, as commissioners of

returned from Y T arna and was gone toßustchuk.

' Banks of the Danube.
The advanced force of the British army has

A new personage, Gen. VVassilcikoff, has been
reconnoitering the Tomosch and Aitschauz pass

The German Confederation.—On the 20th
ultimo the representatives of Austria and Prus

Diet at Frankfort. The cabinets invite the Di

by acceding to it unconditionally.
It was considered hopeless to expect that Prus

Greece.—The insurrection is completely at

The Porte has established two conditions lor the

(From the Charleston Standard )
Destruction of San Juan.
The official correspondence leading to the des
truction of-San Juan, at the mouth of the river of
that name, upon the Isthmus connecting North
and South America, came to us in time for pub
lication in our issue of yesterday, but not in time
for extended comment. The case presented is
oiie which, it is likely, may cause unpleasant
discussion between the governments of this coun
try and of Great Britain, and it would be well,
perhaps, that its features should be brought as
soon as possible to the public attention of this
country.
It will be remembered that a treaty in rela
tion to the construction of a canal across the
Isthmus was concluded between Mr. Clayton,
Secretary of State of the United States, and Mr.
Bulwer, Minister of Her Britannic Majesty, at
YVashington, in 1850. A route the most feasible
for such construction appeared to be along the
San Juan River, which runs to the Atlantic from
the Lake Nicaragua, and from that to the Pacific.
A transit company, accessory to this enterprise,
was established shortly alter the treaty, and lo
cated a depot on the Delta, at the south side of
the San Juan. Over this delta jurisdiction has
been claimed by the inhabitants of San Juan or
Greytown under the authority of the Mosquito
Indians, and difficulties from this assertion of
authority have continually resulted.
The history of this disputed authority would
seem to be briefly this: North and East of Nica
ragua, lake lies the State of Nicaragua, which
extends to the San Juan river, and whose terri
tory and jurisdiction, it is contended, includes
also the mouth of that river. Above the mouth
of the San Juan, and upon the coast of the At
lantic or Caribbean sea, lies the Mosquito king
dom. Between this kingdom and the govern
ment of Great Britain there have existed from a
remote period certain treaty stipulations in re
ference to cutting logwood, mahogany, and cer
tain other unimportant matters, which, however,
never rendered it necessary to define its boun
daries; and so matters stood until gold was dis
covered in California, when, the mouth of the
San Juan becoming important, it was found con
venint for England to magnify her fragmentary
stipulations into a protectorate over the whole
kingdom, and to include the San Juan within its
Southern boundary. Under this assumption the
settlement of Greytown became a part of the
mosquito territory, and as such came under the
authority ot the English government,—in its
capacity of protector simply,—but as the miser
able savages of that region had no conception of
territorial rights, and scarce the conception of
even a distinct political existence, it was equiva
lent to a direct assumption of authority by Great
Britain.
To divest that government of a clain to au
thority at a point so vital to the interest of this
v. hole continent was one of the main induce
ments to the Clavton-Bul wer treaty, and with
this view was stipulated the very first article of
that treaty, which runs as follows:
The Governments of Great Britain and the
United States, hereby declare that neither the
one or the other will ever obtain or maintain for
itself any exclusive conlrol over the said Ship
Cana 1 ; agreeing that neither will ever erect or
maintain any fortification commanding the same
or in the vicinity thereof, or occupy or fortify, or
colonize, or assume, or exercise any dominion
over Nicaraugua, Costa Rica, or the Mosquito
Coast, or any pait of Central America; nor will
' either make use of any protection which either
afford or may afford, or any alliances which
either has or may have, to or with any State or
people for the purpose of erecting or maintaining
any such fortifications, or of occupying or forti
fying, or colonizing Nicaraugua, Costa Rica, or
the Mosquito Coast, or any part of Central
America, or of assuming or exercising any do
minion over the same, as at first proposed, only
the first clause of this article stipulating “that
neither will ever erect or maintain any fortifi
cation,” &c., was introduced; but apprehensive,
however, that even this might not be sufficient
to exclude Great Britain from active influence
upon the interests about to be established at this
point of the Peninsula, upon the suggestion ot
some members o: the Cabinet, and even in op
position to the views of Mr. Reverdy Johnston,
the Attorney General, who thought the words
above abundantly sufficient, the other words
were added, “that neither party shoifld make use
of any protectorate or alliance to or with any
State or people for the purpose of occupying,
fortifying,or colonizing, or of assuring or exer
cising dominion over that country.” Notwith
standing the abundant caution of these stipula
tions, they have not been sufficient to remove
the difficulty.
I he first distinct evidence of its continued ex
istence occurred in the case of the Prometheus,
near the close ot the administration of Mr. Fill
more. The transit company had established their
depot, as we have stated, at Punta Arenas, upon
the south side of the San Juan, over which how
ever, jurisdiction had been claimed by the in
habitants of Greytown for the Mosquito King.
The jurisdiction was not acknowledged by the
transit company, except so far as this acknowl
edgment resulted from their renting some six
hundred feet of whari from the people of that
town, at an early period of their operations. The
Prometheus entered, and having been notified
by the authorities of Greytown that she was
chargeable with port dues she refused to pay
them. The British vessel of war Express, then
in port, demanded that she should pay the dues,
and as she was about to put to sea fired a shot
over her, and gave unequivocal expression to the
determination to compel complicance. This led
to a long discussion, which resulted in a preposi
tion agreed to, we believe, by England, the U.
States, Costa Rica, and the Mosquito Indians, to
establish San Juan as a free city, under the joint
protectorate of England and the United Stales.
To this proposition Nicaragua did not assent.
She claimed the mouth of the San Juan as a por
tion of her territory, and was unwilling to sur
render it for any consideration offered by the
treaty, and in consequence of his resistance Sig
nor Marcoletta, the Minister Irom the State of
Nicaragua, was advised that he had leave to
withdraw his passport.
About Maicb, 1853, a further difficulty occur
red. Capt. Hollins of the bark Cayne, having
been despatched to this port, was advised of the
determination upbn the part of the authorities of
Greytown, to eject the Acceesory Transit Com
pany from their position upon the North side of
the San Juan River. He begged them to desist
from their undertaking; they still proceeded;
he then declared his intention to protect the
property of the Transmit Company, and at last
brought his guns to bear upon the attacking
party, arid gave unmistakable evidence of his
intention to use them.
This matter led to a long correspondence be
tween the two Governments in which England
-claimed that though under the treaty, she cannot
place armed soldiers upon that territory for the
purpose of colonizing, or occupying or fortifying
Nicarauga, Costa Rica, or the Mosquito cost, she
yet may do so in virtue of her protectorate over
the Mosquito kingdom, and may use them for all
the purpoies of such protection, among which of
course would be the piotection of the territory 1
and the jurisdiction ol that kingdom. <
The Government of the United States on the
other hand, contended that not only is England
expressly excluded from such a course by every \
fair construction of the treaty, but that no right
of territorial jurisdiction at all belongs to Indians; 1
that such has been the constant practice of this
country with respect to other tribes, and that
there is nothing in the case of the Mosquito In- <
dians, to exempt them from the operation ot the 1
same rule. " ,
Sueh are the most important historical incidents '
ot this question, so far as it affects the govern- J
merits ot England and the United States. I
Since the period of the difficulty last men- <
tioned, many disturbances have naturally sprung s
from the unsettled condition of affairs. The s
1 ransit Company are in the transaction of a 1
large business, involving the interests of almost i
every country. The people of Greytown are i
naturally solicitous to have a finger in the pie.
The place is out of the world, and therefore at- a
tractive to persons not fit to be in it. A most c
reckless and irregulated set have been brought c
together. To exercise jurisdiction and control a
over the commerce ot a continent, would neces- t
sarily be suited to their taste ; but having been i
deprived of this by the withdrawal of the Transit t
Company to the South side of the river, and e
having been taught by Capt. Hollins, on hi« 1
former visit, that their interference with this
place is not permitted, they have used their posi
tion as a place of very constant piratical incur
sions.
On the 12th of May last, for instance, some
men were detected plundering the Company’s
depot; they fled to the settlement of >San Juan,
across the river; they weje followed and caught
before effecting a landing. The inhabitants of
Greytown interposed, and the property was left
in the hands of the authorities of that place until
the matter could be examined into the next
morning ; but on the next morning the property
could notjbe found, and the luckless servants of
the Transit Company were arrested lor having
assaulted the men the night before in the act of
stealing it.
On the 16th of May, a native boatman was
shot by one T. T. Smith, captain of the steamer
Routn, in the employment of the Transit Com
pany. This occurred about ten or twelvg miles
above San Juan, and beyond the limits any
jurisdiction attempted to be claimed by its in
habitants. When the boat arrived Punto Arenos,
(the Depot of the Company,) men representing
themselves as officers, came on board to arrest
Captain Smith. This place, it will be remem
bered, was not within the jurisdiction of San
Juan—if, in fact, it has any jurisdiction. Resis
tance was offered, and the men retired without
the arrest. Later in the evening Mr. Borland,
then on return lrom his post as Minister to
Central America, went to San Juan to visit the
American Commercial Agent, Mr. Fabens, at
that place, when it was resolved to arrest him.
The house of the agent was surrounded, and
though the resistance was too strong for the ar
rest, Mr. Borland was kept all night under du
ress.
Such is the state ot facts existing at that place,
which rendered it that the Govern
ment of the United Stares should send an armed
force in order to the protection of the .persons
and property of those who use this route to Cali
fornia, and to the punishment of what was
charged to be an outrage upon one of the minis
ters of this country. Capt. Hollins, of the Cyane,
was again despatched to that theatre of action ;
an indemnity lor the injuries inflicted upon the
Transit Comany, and an apology lor indignities
to Mr. Borland were demanded, which we<e re
fused, and the town was bombarded and left in
ruins.
AUGUSTA, GA,
THURSDAY MORNING, AUG. 10, 1854.
See first page of Daily, this morn ing.
The Western mail due at seven o’clock
last evening did not arrive until nine. We un
derstand the detention was caused by the run

The Cash System.
The public had been led to believe by the state
ments of the Augusta Chronicle <£• Sentinel , that
that paper pursued strictly the cash system with
reference to its subscribers, and allowed no man
to receive it, who did not pay cash in advance.
In fact, it occasionally lectured its cotemporaries
who complained of delinquent subscribers, upon
their evil practice of giving credit, and recom
mended to their adoption, its own system of re
quiring cash in advance, as a certain remedy
against being “ hard up.” We were looking
hopefully on to see how this Pioneer in the cash
system would succeed in producing a much need
ed reformation in this State, and regretting that
our own list of subscribers was not composed of
such material as would encourage us promptly
to follow the example. We were satisfied that
if we enforced the cash system as rigidly as the
Chronicle $ Sentinel professed to do, at least one
half of our subscribers would drop off from the
list, or be stricken off. We preferred, therefore,
to continue our old system, rigidly enforced, of
charging mn extra sum to delinquent subscribers,
hoping thereby that self-interest, and correct
views of economy, would prompt them to avail
themselves, voluntarily, of the cash terms. This
has measurably succeeded, and each year adds to
the number of our cash subscribers.
The Chronicle 4’ Sentinel , in an address headed
“ Plain talk to Subscribers,” complains that a ma
jority of its subscribers do not pay promptly
It now announces, "we don’t want subscribers
that v,e have to wait one, two or three years to
get our money from.” Its experiment of the
cash system then cannot be said to have failed,
as it has not fairly been tried. How could it expect
the experiment to succeed, when it did not ad
here to the terms by which it was to be tested.
To enforce the cash principle on some, and give
credit to others, could not result in any other
way than a defeat of the object aimed at.
Who will give the cash system a fair trial f
If any paper in Georgia hat done so, we hope it
will make a report, and give its experience for
the benefit of the craft.
rard'St Justice. —The Salem Gazette says
that Mr. Asa Andrews, of Ipswich, now in the
ninety-third year of his age, has had for many
years a claim of $1,983 upon the United States,
for a balance due him in the settlement of his ac
counts, when Collector of the port of Ipswich,to
which office he was appointed by Washington,
and from which he was removed by Jackson.—
The House of Representatives, on Friday last,
passed a bill authorizing the payment of the
claim.
This is another of the thousand instances go
iug to show the propriety of a Board of Claims
to be established by the General Government.—
It was but a few weeks ago, we saw that an act
was passed for the relief of the heirs of a person
bearing (he name of a citizen lately deceased of
this city, and at the request of his family, we
wrote to Washington to get a copy of the act,
they supposing that he was the individual refer
red to. It proved to be a different person, and
the act authorized the payment to his heirs
of two hundred and fifty-one dollars for a wagon
belonging to him, and appropriated for the use of
the government during the last war with Great
Britain.
Here is property of a citizen taken from him
and unaccounted for until forty yea T s afterwards,
after he had been laid in his grave. 4iow much
time and money he spent in vain efforts to get
paid before he died, we can only conjecture.—
Quite possibly he was a poor man, and his wagon, i
his chief means of earning a support for himself j
and family. He died, no doubt, witb strong mis- j
givings on his mind of his family ever realizing j
from the government the pittance which was
bis due. While his children were probably young j
and helpless orphans, they cried in vain for jus- I
tice. Now, that they are all dead,or have strug- j
gled through life to middle age without the aid
of this money, it is doled out to them as evidence
of the justice of the government to its citizens.
Assault on thk President. —The Washing
ton Union, has the following account of the rude 1
assault made on the President, at the Capitol in j
Washington, on Saturday morning:
As idle and exaggerated rumors are being cir- 1
culated in relation to an indignity supposed to
have been offered to the President on Saturday,
we have taken pains to ascertain the facts, which <
we have done, and present them as follow's : The ’
President during the morning, as is customary (
for the Executive at the close of a session of 1
Congress, had been at the capital approving and <
signing bills. At about two o’clock, all the bu- i
6iness requiring his presence having been closed, 1
he left the Vic 9 President’s room in company i
with the Postmaster General and his private se- $
retary. t
On arriving at' the entrance of the passage 3
which leads to the Senate ch: mber, the Presi- a
dent waited for a moment for his carriage to r
come up. While standing there, a young rnan, p
without a coat, but otherwise dressed like a gen- f
tleman, approached the President, and, remark- y
ing respectfully that his name was Jefferts, and -
that he belonged to Charleston, .South Carolina,
extended his hand, which the President took.—•
Thaw was nothing in tha language or bearing of J
the young man which indicated intentional rude
ness, altbough he was evidently in a state bor
dering upon insanity from the effects of liquor.
The young man, after having shaken hands with
the President, retired in the direction of the
door. The carriage came up immediately, and
as the President was stepping in something
struck his hat. Mr. Webster inquired, “ what
was that?” The President replied, that “hedid
not know?” but at that moment observing the i
intoxicated young man making some violent !
gesticulations, he suggested to a policeman stand- ■
ing near by that he had better take care of him, ;
though at that time it was his own impression, j
and that of Mr. Webster, that whatever struck
his hat was accidently thrown from an upper !
window.
The carriage was immediately driven away, I
and the President neither spoke nor thought of j
the occurrence till information was brought that j
the young man had been arrested for throwing
what proved to be the remaining portion of a hard i
boiled egg of which he had eaten a part, when
he immediately requested that he be discharged,
and his friends, if they could be found, be sent for
to take care of him. We also learn that this
unfortunate young man is, as he stated, from
Charleston, and that he came within a few days
with his mother to this city, to visit a sister, I
who is the wife of a highly respected gentleman.
His delirium since his arrest, has been such as to *
require the interposition of friends to prevent
him from inflicting wounds upon his own per- !
son. He is, as we understand, in the care of
kind friend*; and we hope he may derive a salu- i
tary lesson from this mortytying experience.
Arrival of Omar Faoha at the English
Camp.
The special correspondent of the London
Times, writing from the camp at Devna, on the
3d instant, gives the following graphic descrip
tion of the reception of Omar Pacha .
We have just had a very exciting review.—
The men, who had had a four hours’ drill be
tween half-past four and half-past eight o’clock
this morning, had finished dinner when news ar
rived that Omar Pacha was coming on his way
from Silistria to Varna, and that he might be ex- I
pected in an hour. Presently the Brigade Ma- j
jors rode up from the Brigadiers with orders to
the Colonels to hold their regiments in readiness
to turn out, and in about half an hour more the
bugles sounded the assembly. The Turkish in
fantry down on the plains below were observed
to fail in, and draw up in solid columns in front
of their tents. About 2 o’clock a faint streak of
dust rose over the white lines of the road wind
ing far in the distance over the hills which lie
towards Shumla, and through the glass could be
discerned two travelling carriages, with a small
escort of horse, moving rapidly towards the vil
lage of Devna. Arrived there, they halted, and I
the whole stuff present with the division, hasten
ed to pay their respects to Omar Pacha—Briga- j
diers Airey, Buffer, Brigade-Majors Mackenzie
and Maxwell, Colonel Sullivan, Capt. Macdon- j
nell, Captain Pearson, Mr. Campbell, as well as
Colonel Bentick, Brigadier-General of the bri- 1
gade of Guards, and Captain Byng, his aid-de- |
camp, who happened to have ridden up from
Aladyn. Omar Pacha mounted his horse and i
attended by Colonel Dieu, by an Engffsh officer
attached to the Embassy at Constantinople, and
several of his suite and followers, rode up the
hill towards the camp, in the front of which the
whole division was drawn up in line in a very j
short space of time. The English staff rode af
ter him, and at his side were the two brigadiers, j
The coup d'asil was magnificent. The blue out- j
lines ot the distant hills, over which played the
heavy shawdows of rapidly gathering thunder
clouds—the green sweep of the valley below j
dotted with tents, and marked here and there
with dark black masses of Turkish infantry—
the arid banks of sand and gray cliffs displaying
every variety of light and shadow—aud then
the crest of the hill, along which for a mile shone
the bayonets of the British infantry, topped by
the canvass waffs behind them—formed a spec
tacle worth coming far to see. Omar Pacha was
dressed with neatness and simplicity—no order
glittered os his breast, and his close fitting blue |
lrock coat displayed no ornament beyond a plain
gold shoulder strap and gilt buttons. He wore
the fez cap, which showed to advantage the clear,
well-marked lines of his calm and resolute face,
embrowned by exposure to wind and weather
for many a year of a soldier’s life, and the hue of
which was well contrasted with his snow-white
whiskers. In the rude an 1 rather sensual mouth,
with compressed thick lips, was traceable, if
physiognomy have truth, enormous firmness and
resolution. The chin, full and square, evinced
the same qualities, which might also be discern- ,
ed in the general form of the head. Those who
remember the statute of Radetzky at the Great
Exhibition will understand what I mean. All
the rougher features, the coarse nose, and the
slight prominence of the cheek bones are more
than redeemed by the quick, penetrating and
expressive eye, tuff of quiet, courage and gen
ius, and by the calm though rasher stubborn
brow, marked by lines of thought, rising
above the thick shaggy eyebrow.
In person he appeared to be rather below than
above the ordinary height; but his horse, a well
trained gray, was not as tall as the English char- '
gers beside him, and he may really be more than
five feet seven or eight. His figure-is light, spare
and active, and his seat on horseback, though too
Turkish for our notions of equestrian propriety,
was firm and easy. He wore white gloves and
neat boots, and altogether would have passed
muster very well in the ring at Hyde-pa-k as a
well appointed quiet gentleman. His staff were
by no means so well turned out, but the few of
the Hussars of the escort were stout, soldier-like
fellows. One of them led a strong chesnut Arab,
which was the Pacha’s battle charger.
As he lode by, the troops presented arms, and
when he had reached the end of the line they
broke into column, advanced and performed some
simple field-day manoeuvres, to the great delight
of the Pacha. As the men moved off after ex- j
ercising for about three-quarters of an hour, cav
alry came up at full trot and at once rivetted the !
attention of the Pacha. There were one and a
half squadron of the 17th Lancers, -v. troop of the
Bth, and a troop of the 11th Hussars. The ar
tillery horses and dragoon horses were out at
waten There were two or three magnificent
charges, and the Pacha is said to have declared
that such infantry and cavalry could dash over
any troops in the world. As he retired from the
field, the men, who bad all been dismissed,
thronged in shirts and fatigue jackets to the
front of the lines, and cheered him enthusiasti
cally, to his great delight.
About 9 o’clock, after reviewing the Turks in
the plain, he drove on to Varna. It is said the
Pacha brings news that the Russians are retreat
ing on Brailow, and that he has gone to consult
M. bt. Arnaud and Lord Raglan concerning an
advance of which we have heard rumours the :
whole of this day.
Counterfeits of Bank of Savannah —Mr.
E. E. Brown, of this city, says the Macon Citi
zen, has shown us a Bank bill of the denomina
tion of one Dollar, on the Bank of Savannah,
! which was altered to a Ten, by pasting over the
| figure and words one, the words ten and letter X
i i» printed letters, aud which was passed on a
colored attendant in his establishment, the other
evening, by a well dressed white man for a gen
uine Ten Dollar Bill. The scoundrel received
nine dollars and a fraction, good money in ex
change. A note ot the same character was of
fered the same day, in Cherry street, but w as re
fused, and from a remark overheard to drop lrom
a stranger walking with two others dow’n street,
to tha effect that they would “pass but one more
to-night,'' it is believed that there is now a com
pany of thieves and counterfeiters prowling
through the country, engaged in this nefarious
business. Let the public be on their guard.—

though it was doubted if the act had the sanction
of the authorities at Washington.
The Kingston Journal says Capt. Hollins was
drunk when L>e did the deed. It also says that
the House of the British Consul was first des
troyed. The papers all pionounce it a most cow
ardly act, and called on the British government
to despatch a fleet to the North and lombard N.

A Warning.—Delay not; harbor
not in your mind that sentence of fool’s
philosophy, that a disease will get well of itself,or
that you can euro it with certain medicines for a
few dollars. Beware how you tamper with your
general welfare.
’ Ye wild and vicious youths, why will ye persist
! in dosing with the filthy, nauseating compounds
• daily proffered, thereby impairing your appetite
and digestion, and destroying you mentally as well
as physically, when you can be cured with a few
, doses of pleasant medicines?
i Ye rakes of every age and condition, why will
ye suffer and repine and drag out a miserable ex
istence, unfitted for the enjoyment and even ordi
nary pursuits of life ? You who are thus annoyed,
and wish to bo restored to health and vigor by a
treatment at oneo pleasant and effectual, should
consult Dr. Morris. His success in chronic dis
- eases has been greater than that of any other phy
l sician of his day. Many who have been for years
afflicted with disease or consequences resulting
■ from excess have been restored to health and vigor
under his really scientific treatment.
Should a personal interview be objectionable,
r state your disease in writing—enclose five dollars
—address Dr. W. 11. Morris, through the Posts
j. Office, Nashville, Tenn., and a package of Medi
cines, securely put up, will be sent privately, and
with dispatch, full directions therewith, and no
questions asked.
