ing the decision of the Emperor of Russia upon the
appeal made to him respecting the extradition of
the Hungarian tefugees, the English papers contain
many reports respecting the probabilities concern
ing the issue, but of course nothing definite can be
arrived it until the resolution of the Emperor and,
Imperil) Council shall be made known. The re
ply of the E.operor, which was expected with the
most - interne niqtiety, would, it was thought, reach
the Tdrk.sit capital about the 10th or 12th October.
Apprehending:that the decision of the Czar might
be a dvdarattou of war, the Pude waa exceedingly
impatient to learn the eliect produced upon the Cab

tepresentatives at the Sublime Porte.
A large fleet of Steamers is collecting in the Wa
ters of the Bol'hums, and in the harbor of the
Golden Ilorn; and between the entrenceof the Black

etplipped, and plentifully supplied with arms and
previnimis.

Kos-uth has written a very eloquent letter on his
present poziii.tn to Lurd Palmerston, which is pub

From Withien the news is somewhat
It appears that Atnillah had been sent to urge the
r,6lgees to embrace Islamism, and has not been un
successful. Kossuth, Dembinski, Guyon, Zurnoy-,
sk l , and others, all sore that no persoa should in
duce them to aposincy. Bern had no such scruple.
The most nun clamp feature of the news from
Turkey is; that those - pashalics 'in Europe, which
are partly Greek and partly Turkish, are in a state
of great ferment, in consequence of thethreatened
rupture between Turkey and Russia. Under the
intineneemf Russian emissaries, chiefly members of
the Greek chinch, these vassals of the'§ultan be

the present opportunity, to, get up a revolt.\

It appears from the Frenchiand Piedmontese cor
respondence seized by the Turin authorities, thit
the conspirators on both sides of the Alps reckon

the appintinent of Lucien Murat as Minister to
Turin, and M Bois Le Cumpt, now Minister to Tu

lint the fact was stated, of whichVhere was no
doubt, that the government was totally ignorant of

Some explanations of the affair are necessary.—
The French government demanded an indemnity fur
the losses caused to French subjects by the war in
Mexico. This demand having met with somediffi
culty, the French government charged our minister
to ninionce to the American g overnment, that the
indemnities claimed would be kept back out of the
annuities not , yet due—out of the twenty-five mil
lion francs fur which we were the debtors of the
United States. It appears that the letter written
on the subject by M. Poussin was couched in rather
language, of which the French govern.
i merir, maintaining the clam, has expressed its die
.approt al.
In ,consequence of the illness of M. Falloux, the
rliscrission in the Assembly on the Italian question,
And the affairs of the River Plate, together with the

of 15,000,000 for its completion, and the length of
the al voli, which, after a lengthened discussion, was
passed by a minority of 330 to 38.
As was expected the proposal of M. Napoleon
Bonaparte, has met with the approval of the Corn
ntittee to which it was referred. They declared that
the uniting (1) of the, Bourbons, and amnesty to the
insurgents of Jiine. being Included in the same
proposition. established an unbecoming assimilation
of the two parties mentioned, and at once unani
mously decided on recommending the Assembly to
take it under consideration.
The proceeding of the Assembly, between the
fith at.d eleventh inst., ore quite unimportant.
Gen. de Hautpool haft been appointed to take the
place of Gen. Rot.tuion, who definitely refused to
stay at Rome. notw ithstandinging the overtures of
M. Mercier.

from Rome, which occasioned the Movement it the

cort of ge,s d'a hoes to Bslogne.
The loss expor!zmced by the foreign commerce of
Paris, in consequence of the revolution of Februa
ry amounts to 597 million francs, as compared with
the returns of 1847, when the total amount of the
foreign trade was 2,010 million francs.
It is stated that the government is to recall a por

-30,00,0 men at Ciyita - Feebie. A single regiment is
to occupy the capital of St. Angelo, and the Span

property taxed £21,000, and post office revenue
£lOO,OOO. And the increase in the past quarter,
taking the whole income, the balance of the increase
of the quarter is £214,113, whilst the total income
of the year is £235,581. The increase in the ex
ports of the country during the first eight months
of the present year, amounts t0'£7,570,000. The
exportation of cotton manufactures for the last eight
months, has increased in the ratio of• 25 per cent.

NEW YoaK, Oat. 30-3 P. M.
The Courier & Enquirer 'contains the following
important intelligence from its Washington corres
ph;?dent, who obtained it from a highly respectable
source:
WAIININGTON, Oct. 28.
The Emperor Nicholas has perpetrated an act of
unparalleled barbarism which will be deeply de
plored by the citizens of Washington, and can hard
ly fail to awaken the indignation of the civilized
world. He has torn M. Bodisco, so long the Rus
sian Envoy in Washington, from his family and
driven him in his old ageduto the life long regions
of Siberian exile. This news so astounding comes
through a medium wliich precludes all doubt.
It seems that an edict of the Autocrat prohibits
diplomatic agents from owning property of any kind
in the countries to which theyareaccredited. M. Ito
disco has enriched himself in estates wholly Ameri
can. Ho owns valuable real estate in Georgetown,
and had becorne considerably interested in Govern
ment securities. His property was valued at 8460,-
000, these facts became known to the Emperor last
winter through the agency of a spy and he immedi
ately proceeded in an artful manner to entrap M.
Bodisco
He directed M. Bodisco,to repair to St. Peters
burgh without delay as his counsel was required in
a matter of great importance, and he was further di
rected not to fail to bring with him his nephew, Pro.
mier Secretaire, of the Russian Legation at Wash
ington, as a commission awaited him in the imperi
al Army, which was about to march against the
Hungarians.. To this order M. Bodiaco yielded
prompt obedience. He and his nephew sailed for
home early in May last. On presenting themselves
to Nicholas, the nephew was thrown into prison and
M. Bodisco was hurried off into the wilds of Sibe
ria.
Hsantanuno. October 29.
Finn ttr Hsatuanono.- I —About 2 o'clock on Sun
day morning a fire was discovered issuing from the
second story of a four story building, known as the
Union Buildings, occupied by J. G. McKinley as a
printing and publication establishment. The fire
seemed to have been burning for some time, but by
the efforts of the firemen it was soon subdued. Mc
Kinley's loss, which it is difficult to estimate, Is
mostly covered by an insurance. The damage to
the buildings is not very great, but it is a loss to the
landlord, as his policy of insurance had expired but
a few days previous to the fire. The origin of the
fire is a mystery, but it seemed to have commenced
in the floor partition dividing the publication ,office,
from the room occupied by the Magnetic Telegraph
Co. The telegraphic operators secured all the ef
fects of the office without any material injury, and
this morning were ready to resume business. Had
the fire remained undiscovered a short time longer,
the buildings must have been destroyed and the loss
very great, as the fourth story was stored with val
uable publications.
FROM THR WEsTsats Pt.strts.—A letter dated
Fort Laramie, August 26th, says that the health of
that post, is excellent, game abundant, and fine water
is obtained by digging a few feet from the Laramie.
The troops were much occupied in building their
quarters, erecting stables, and laying in hay for the
Winter. The last of the California emigrants
passed that post on the day previous, in hopes of
reaching the gold placers before the setting in of
the winter. They. had all stopped at the fort a few
days, to reset wagon trees, exchange and purchase
'cattle, mail letter's for the States, and replenish their
supply ot provisions from the Commissary, who is
permitted to "sell to thohe actually in want."—
Trains of Mormons contirmedl to pass the foiton
their way to the State of Deseret. Quite a number
bfCalifornia einignitits will also winter in Deseret.
The Indians in the neigliherliond of the fort were
quiet and occasionally visited it. Ono hundred
Comanches had just been there, to pledge friendship,
have a dance, and get provj.ions.' The American,
Company's agents were about moving from the fort
to their new post, Scott'e Bluffs, on the Platte, 60
Miles eastward.
AVPOICITMENTS IN Vinortos.—A !Mint time ago
a vacancy occurred in Richmond county, Virginia,
by the removal of the Postmaster at Farnham ;
Church. The inhabitants of the neighhorhod were
anxious to have a Postmaster appointed; and recom
mended a very worthy young man who had establish-'
ml a store, he being the only person willing to ac
cept the appointment. He was recommended by
!fleetest respectable men of both parties in the vi,
cinity, but. there was delay in making the appoint = r
meat. At length it was discovered that Fitz War
ren had written a private letter to ascertain whether
the nominee was e whig or not. The person to
whoin the letter was addressed, was absent,' and of
course no reponse to Fitz Warren's letter could be
given. Finding Such to be the state of theense, a
t
i
wag addressed a fetter to Fitz,' sod recommende d, a
Free Negro for the office, and merely stated that te
was a good and true whig. •The return mail broil; t
the Free Negro his appointmentl• We mention
this fact to show, that unless a person is recommend
ed as a good and true whig, no appointments will
be made, although the neglect to do so subjects
whole neighborhoods to great inconvenience. In
this case we understand that the Department on
being apprised of the hoax have 'determined to make
no other aprointment for that office. The matter
has produced much excitement in Richmond county;
and the member fromthat district will feel it his
duty to make it a subject of inquiry at theepproach
ing session of Congreas.—Portamouth Pilot. •

BRITISH host.—Weihatie seen slate letter from

tons of railroad iron, fur the United Stales, at £5
6d; per toh—an aggregate coat _ of about half - a
million of dollars. Delivered in this country it will
Cost about $3B per ton. The road for which it has
been bought is not named. Every pound of dila
iron ought to hrive been furnished from our own
mines, and by the labor of our own people, and no
doubt would have been, had the tariff of 1846 im
posed a specific and reasonable protective duty on
the foreign prticle.—Baltimore American.
If the American - will go back a very few years, it
will find, by reference to the Congressional records,
that the only persons in Congress asking to admit
railroad iron entirely free of duly, were the persons
now loudest in complaining of the operation of the
Tariff of 1846—the whlg loaders in the Senate—and
this rennest was preferred at a time when ekeellont
rails were being made.in this country, and when
"protection," if ever it was necessary, was most to
be desired.--Perinsylvonion.
CANADA Copvnn.—As the prospect of immediate
annexation of the Province of Canada brightens,
we begin to feel a more lively interest' in 'Under
standing her capacity and resources. It may be
somewhat neW to many of the existence of a plant
indigenous . to Canada, closely resembling the West
India Coffee. A prize was awarded at the late
Provincial Fair to Mr: Win. March, of Scarboro,
who has taken much pains to bring the plant into
existence. Ho writes a letter to the Toronto Pa
triot, explaining the reasons that induced him to at
tempt the culti%'ntion of such
, a plant as the cof
fee plant. It is described as an annual, growing
two feet high, when planted in the Spring, bearing
pods containing one and sometimes two peas. The
produce is enormous—bearing from three to five
hundred pods from one. pea. It is easily kept clean
and ripe and peas may be picked from the end of
June until November, or when the frost kills it, du
ring which time it eeps flowering or poding._
When threshed and cleaned it is roasted and ground
like other coffee. 'rhtrflavor is agreeable and close
ly resembles coffee. Mr. March has cultivated the
plant four years and finds that it improves, in quan
tity and quality, by cultivation.—Rochester 4dvcr-
User. .
A REMO OF TDB WORLD DEFORR TUB PLOOD.A
correspondent - informs us that being at Parkvillet
N.. 1., the other day, he saw a man, who informed
him that some time ago he' was digging marl in the
vicinity, when he came to the, hull on a vessel,
twelve feet below the surface of the marl, and eigh
teen lea below the surface of the ground, the tim
bers of which were fastened together with' trenels
(wooden pins.) no spikes or metal of any kind about
it! This ship must have been older than Noah's
ark! and built by men who had no knowledge of
the use of iron or copper; therefore, as the use of
of metals was known at te time of Noah, we pre
sume this vessel was built enterior to the deluge.—
One thing is certain, it must have been constructed
before that part of the continent was covered by the
debris from the mountains, which elevated the sur
face above the level of the ocean, and now forms
the habitable portion of West Jeriey.—Pltiladcl

TIM ROUND ISLAND I'APEDITION.-.Mr. Grath
H. Williams, sergeant-major of the late regiment
on Round island, fi l nforms the editor of the St. Louis
Union that their ultimate destination, was the island
of Cuba. The' men were to have been shipped to
the island of Lopez to be drilled and armed. The
expedition had been in contemplation for many
years. and the funds for its support had been accu
mulated by annual donations from the planters of
Cuba, and were;deposited in New York, subject to
the order of Gen. Lopez, the general manager'of the
expedition. Its object was the establishment of a
Republican Government in Cuba. For the present
the expedition has been abandoned, but Cols. White
and Biscoo, thelleadere, entertainee no doubt 'as to
its ultimate success.

"A PENNY TOR lIIS Tuottoturs."—The Gazette does not
think Judge Thompson will be the next speaker! A
penny for its thougfto, say we. It did not think that
gentleman, would be elected last fall. It did not think
Gamble would be elected. It did not think we should
hove a majority in both branches of the legislature!—But
thus thinking did not change the facts. For our part we
do not know whether the Judge will bo elected Speaker
or not—but ono thing too do know, the Gazefle , will exer
cise no influence to prevent him. In this matter it stands
powerless. It may have an influence with love-sick
damsels, poetry struck maids of a cartailt age, or young
gentlemo'n with Byronic shirt-collars to prevent them from
hating the "blues," but when it attempts to meddle with
affairs of this character, its thoughts don't pass 'current

MIE HON. RICLIABD Resu.—The Philadelphia Penn

political friends of the late American Minister to France,
Mr. Rush, to tender him a public dinner on his return
front Europe, as a proof of their high estimate of the
manlier in which he- sustained the character of the
American Republic, during the excitement which broke
out shortly aftai..his arrival in France as the representa
tive of the IJnit4id States. Ho is expected to arrive next
week.
Tho Gazette says it "unhesitatingly; re-11151.ms"
that title Whig party is not "made up of a horde of cor
morants:" and thiniti we ought to coincide with it. We
can't do it, even t accommodate the Editor of that pa

highest authority of the two, we must take its evidence in

irr One of the , arguments urged in Canada in be
half of annexntiou to this country, is, that their domes
tic manufactures would be ••protected from foreign
competition by a high beneficial tariff." The present
tariff of 1846, affected to be 'regarded by benevolent
demagogues who desire to ueo it for party purposes as
"free trade," is looked upon elsewitore as highly protec
tive. if the'northeru manufacturere are wise they will
let this 1846 tariff alone. Public opinion is not returning
to n love of the worn out, discarded old world theory of
protection.
