fmign Cajrtspondtncc oflhc Jjaily KeV«. , Paris, August 30. i 853. There is tu* iphgor any doubt as to the settlement ofthoeiffaire d'orient. A dP 3 - .patch received hero from Vienna on yes terdny, states “on authority," that the con .put General of Russia, in the Dnnubban nroviences lin'd received intelligence from Petcrsbjurg'lhnt the invading army would hlljiavc rccrosscd the Pruth about the mid dle'of September. Tho Timii of* jester dby, blames the Porte for not having ac cepted the Austrian notei,' yireo weeks ago. Bcforo this Had been seen in- Paris it was rumored that os sobq ns tj.io “note” had Arrived ip Constantinople, and been duly penned, it wo's despatched by Lord Strad ford de Rndclifioto Lohdob, for the opinion ' of his government.' N6r hits fiio article Thunderer" of yesterday, removed, this impression. It must bo admitted that there is some reason in tho rumor ; every body knows how anxious tiio Porte has been fromtlic beginning to lidve the mat ter settled; and tlio delay alluded to, abovo -r-mcfely for o few verbal modifications, which all parlies say nro insignificant—is {tot air all consistent with that anxiety—be sides a letter received from Trieste this morning, stales positively that Ilia Aiajosty the Sultan had despatched Col. Ruf]'on.tho 20th inst., for Vienna, with an autograph letter to tho Emperor Joseph, thanking His imperial Majesty of Austria for tho friendly interest he bad. taken in )iis aifiiirs. it is thought kora that had Lord Rad tlijfo had. his own wa v, Russia would not tmvo been ullowed to invade tho provinces wo quietly. Tho Assemblee NalionaJe says rn« bo was in favor of ordering tho fleets to-pak? the Dardanelles, immediately, as 'aooH as'the first Russian corps cFarmie crossed tho Prlith ; that he expressed that ifecling in n despatch to Lord Clarendon at the time, but that lie roceivcd a kind of Veprimund from Lord Aberdeen in reply, j •«nd Was directed not to take any step in the; matter, in future, without instructions.— i •Tho Assemble* says this was right, and Creditable to Lord Abcrdoen, and alleges | that Lord Radcliflb was actuated through ! vindictive feelings towards the Czar. The! Cologne Gazette and Trieste Zeitung are ! of the same opinion, and says lhattho fact, ‘ 'Was pa evident, his government ought to j have recalled him nt onco. i The birds of this charge is, that the Em peror bad refused to accept Lord Court as Minister Plenipo-1 Jtentiafy from Great Britain. You will, perhaps, remember that this refusal was ibesuhject of a good deal of gossip at the time.' It was a matter of doiTbt here, apd in tact, all over Europe, whether it might pot lead to a rupture between Russia and fSnglnad. It passed off quietly, however. England submitted, and sent Lord Durham to St. Petersburg in bis stead. The Czar motived Lord Durham quite cordially, but iiwxe' 'hafc since been a kind of coolness Russia abd England which recent diplomacy has rather aggravated tjgin re tpoyed.. It is remarkaido bow all tho organs of |boQrlcans family arc in favor of Russia, Mdogninst England. This has been so face the Enstorn difficulty commenced.— In (ftp; tljo j Unypi and Natio nylsot this city have beep regarded as semi official organs of tho Czar. Both have ad vocated non-interference on the part of ‘furkev, and have been tho first journals | west of the Vistula to publish the items of Pfrom 'St. Petersburg which it was p'rttjc to promulgate jo \Vestern Europe, {t is believed by r flfH.oy that tho Czar bus made certain pro ,paise* to the Orleans family. Some go so as to attempt to explain this, and say Jflpt Russia is pledged to tuke the earliest opportunity to put an end to thoNupoleon dynasty. (Test bien u rai Monsieur," said pgentleman with whom I have conversed pet. u Je le croif, maisj'aii pbnttr" ' That is, tho Orleanists believe I|j.e stofy^because they would like it lobe po, but thoy are afraid. Tho Bonaparlists entertain tho reverse opifnan. They assert llmt the Czar is jnoro anxious for tho friendship of Louis Napoleon, than that of anv other Sover eign in lEurope, and tlmfihia anxiety is to be attributed as much to family influ ences and reminiscences of the past, as the vast power and influence of Napol eon 111.

For this ruse Franco was to get Egypt-;' und full permission (o extend her .boundaries to the Rhine. ' " ' This may bo all sham, -fliera is a good deal in it that is 1 incredible, and at vari ance 'with tlhe course, recently pursued by Louis Napoleon; yet, let it be borne in mind that the Constitulionel in comment ing not may ninys ago on the marriage of the Ouke de Brabant to the Arch-dulchess Marin of Austria, stated that both Franco and Holland had a right Vo feel ofiended with the alliance; and that the Rhine was the national boundary of Franco. Well, what would this amount to?- In the first place llw whole of Belgium would belong to France if the Rhino woro made her north eastern boundary. This, England would bo bound by every lie of kindred and of policy to resist; but Holland would Ibe glad of it. It would send the Dutch to |see Antwerp, in the hunds of the French, and you are awaro that Russia has always been deeply interested on the part of the present King of Holland, William Hi, j Prince of Bunge. R was Russian iuilu-1 once that prevented tills marriage with the I Princess Charlotte of Wales, und enduccd I him to aid the Dutches of Brandenburg, arid the Brandenburg family, is closely allied to that of the Czar himself. No ono ccn deny but that an alliance between Franco and Russia would he a formidable) one, in fact ihe most formidable j one that could be formed in Europe. All ) acquainted with the history of Napoleon’s ( wars, know that that great man could have , divided with Alexander the Empire of the I world. EveaCastlcreagh and Pitt admil- I ted the I'uct; that is, they admitted, that - Napoleon could have placed Turkey inthe ' hands of Alexander, and then appropriat ed Egypt himself. And what would have been left of Europe had this been done, (seeing that Prussia was entirely subdued, 1 I and a large portion oT Austrian territory,' I with nearly |ho whole of Italy, and Belg-j ! ium was already in the hands of France? | | It does not then follow that, if there is { i no Wnr for tlie present about Turkey, that! the statuquo will be lung maintained. No ! doubt England will always protest, to keep I I Russia within bounds, —in fact, no other j I nation has so direct an interest in prevent ling Turkey from falling into the hands of the Czar; (Tor the moment that event takes I place, if it ever does, it will bp impossible for England to maintain India. Il appears, although the Porte has re ceived ample assurances that the Russians will immediately withdraw, the Sultan has issued ah edict for the levying of a reserve army of 30,000 men. The Assemblec' Nationak says that the Czar ought to pre vent this—that ho ought to regard it as a personal ofTencc! Wlmt moro could tho imperial Gazette of St. Petersburg say.— The Siccle , in commenting on tho same subject, says that Russia may threaten ns she will in future, Iter conduct towards j Turkey will have taught Europe that there j is little in'her threats.

It was thought j, that the invasion would have ailennted all | tho Christians of the Principalities from ! the Sultan, but it appears that the reverse', has taken place. The latest accounts from Belgrndo inform us that 2,000 Christinns(i had presented themselves to Omer Pacha' as volunteers, and requested to be put into( the front guard, on tho right bank of thej Danube, so that they could show the Czar, j if ho penetrated any farther into tho Otto man Empire, how much they appreciated (| his pretended zeal on behalf of their reli-l gion. A late article in tho Times, on the death of Admirafsir George Blackburn, has been much commented upon here. The most praiseworthy act in his life, according to the Tory journal, was the part he took in destroying between two and three million’s worth of property in Washington j this it styles a "splendid achievement /” The Patria justly says that if ho had extingu- ished your nationality forever, nnd left your firesides desolute, the Times would rtjqice still more; and yet you boast of your Anglo-Sagon origin ! The Smyrna afTair seems to have died uway. The Austrians have given vent to their rage in that memorandum, nnd that is, probably, the end of it. They know it is better, to let Jonathan alone.

' A largo number of tho citizens of our county, together with nmnv slrungcrs from abroad, are in town, attending to business connected witliourcountycourt; nndwhen suclt is tho case, there seems to bo but little necessity for issuing a paper, and fur less for telling editorially what most of our roadoro are tiuro tn see and to hear fur themselvos. Tho business before the court is not of much importance as yet, but such as it is, 1 it is dispatched gcn'oV&lly to tho sat isfaction of all, except one or the other of tho contesting parties. i Qur farmers seem well pleased with tho j yield of their crops already gathered, and j those yet lobe gathered promise quite as well.

Politicians are all in a good humor— that is, the Democratic portion of them— and more particularly those who have, or expect (o get, good fat offices. As to the whigs, they are just as tljey “used to was,” and if any person thinks tho “universal whig party” is among “the things that wero,” they are sadly mistaken, and this tho Democrats of Clearfield county will discover to their sorrow unless they aro wide awako Candidate fob the Legislature.— There seems to havo been a misunder standing as to tho time for the meeting of the Conferees to nominato n cnndidalo to represent this district in the Legislature. .VjTKean and Elk counties having agreed upon Inst Saturday as tho day of meeting at Ridgeway—which fact, wo believe was not made known to our delegates in time ; and whether a nomination was mado by Elk and M’Kenn on that day, is not yet known.

She was violent in her behavior, and her conduct had attracted a large I crowd of persons, who followed her into j the office, nnxions to learn tho cause of : arrest. A honring of tho case disclosed | the fact thnt she is the wife of a clergyman, J nnd that she has for a long period been laboring undor temporary insanity, during which her husband is unable to live with her. On Monday night sho kept the neigh borhood of her residonce, in Addision street, in a constant state of alarm by her cries of murder and other noises. Sho be ing alone with her children, it was feared she would commit personal violence upon them. Mayor Gilpin was obliged to send her to prison until her friends provide a mare suitable place for her.— Daily Ns. FOB A CLERGYMAN.

Explouations in Afhica.—A new ex 'pediiion up the river Tchadda, the Eastern j branch, of the Niger, has been decided up on by ihe British, government. Dr. Barth ! attached to the expedition from Tripoli to I Bornou, crossed a stream flowing from, the 'southeast, and reported it ten feet deepaud I three-quarters of a mile broad, 250 miles east of the point upon the Tchadda reach ed by b«ainl and Qldfiold’e expedition of ,1832. It is hoped that by this channel a : water conununtaaiion may be opened with the countries south of Lake Tchad. The scientific persons will not exceed throe in number. A suitable steam vessel is pro vided for their conveyance, and the expe dition is intended to enter tho river in ! June noxt, so as to insure three months of rising water for the ascent and return to | the sea. The entire arrangement differs I , from the former ascents of the Niger—the 1 ! steamer being a private trading vessel, at I tho sole risk and expense of the contractor, j j a fixed sum being paid him for the con- j veyance of the government officers as pas-1 jsengers, who will ihus be uhlo to persue' their investigations without exciting tho jealousy and distrust of tho native chiefs. ATTEST TO ARREST A FUGITIVE. | Last Saturday morning, Marshall Wyn koop of Philadelphia, accompanied by four assistants made a descent on tho dining room of ihc Phcenix Hotel, YVilksbarrc, and arrested one of tho colorod men em ployed there, by the namo of Bitt. Tho | marshall succeeded in getting thehnndcuffis [on one of Bill’s wrists, but before he could j secure the other, Bitt freed himself by a sudden effort, seized up a carying knife | from the tuble, nqadc a plungo with it at .the nearest assistant, used the looso hand cuff oyer tho bead of one or two others, ; and leaving them sprawling on the floor, ; i|ushed out in tho street. Marshall Wyn keep an.d his men followed him giving I three or four shots without effect. Bitt j plunged into the Susquehanna, determined , to drown rather than be taken alivo. The ( chaso and result excited great interest in : j town, but there was no interference by tho people. While in the water he was fired at four or fivo limes, and so badly wounded as to bo compelled to return to shoro. His pur suers remarking that dead niggers were poor property, drove off nnd left him. The officers were detained for an investigation j but subsequently permitted to depart, and the negro is said to be en route for Cana- i da, via the underground track.” The com-1 munity wero very much excited agninst the marshall and his aids.

No set of mon.BeokjM to promote a stile of the Public WofkihM to relieve tho people from taxation wpii|A proceed as a portion of the Whig pr«| have dono. Indeed, some oftjie !tfl)ig rare: ifestoes, which we have read on this aqs*' ject, are utterly destituteof reasonor point; | amounting in the sublimity of their cop; • fusion and blunders, to a pretty good port to an losano Asylunj. , 3 In one paragraph wo are gtnyoiy toll I bv these political, doctors, that the Public | YVorks must be sold to relieve the pwpli \from taxation —that it is their only them jof relief, and tho only way of payipg of the State debt j and in the Very next they attempt to demonstrate that these wpjrH are icorthless —are a drain upon the ucy instead of an income, and ipusVcpn-' tinue to be such. ' S'rongo logic this, indeed. Do man suppose that capitalists are.gojngb buy that which is worthless ? And hoi shall wo pay our debts and get clear ofhutj ation by selling the Public Works, if.** onn get no compensation in return? if, s9 State Improvements be non productive pap. i talists would not take them na a donation!

Should a sale bo ordered by the Legislature, let it bo a fair bona fide said fora full and fair compensation and prompt payment. But we want no joint-stock whig scheme, by which the State would remaid a large owper in the works, apd he lietf hand and foot and delivered dvpr to thfl Shylockg, to be charged "with the expensed of the improvements, and cheated out'oif tho receipts, . llaud to Answer, —Tho New York Journal of Commerce rather gets abqlttioh Legislatures in a tight plnco.
