I Site reports a decline of Gd in flour and
!ld in whbat.
Consols had improved, and closed at 92.
The news is three days later than our
advices by tho Atluntic. We give below
its leuding features.
Tho Franklin arrived nt Cowes, 9 o’clock
Thunsday evening, Gth inst.
Tho London Times of Saturday morn
ing, Oct. Bth, states that the steamer Tun
cred, at Marseilles from Constantinople
confirms the report that tho Sultan has
signed the declaration of war.
Tho Sultan has not signed tho decla
ration of wur. The grand council has vo
ted war. ’
Such at Jcodt is imagined to be tho caso
for wo have yet, Do information really reli
able.
Tfio grounds for surmising that the Sul
tan fins not formally signed the declaration
,3 i that previous to declaring war the Sul
lan submits, ns a matter of form, to the
opinion or sanction of the Skeik-nMslnm,
the decision of the Divan; nnd (his formal
ity requires n dcluy of some days. The
dispatph which has caused so much ex
citement stated that tho Sultan signed tho
declaration tho samo evening it was voted.
Wo give the position of the Eastern Ques
lion, in the summoning up of tho London I
Times. To the successive phases of tho
'Turkish question (says the Times) may
now bo added one of greater singularity
than any of those proceeding it.
The Ottoman Porto has pronounced, by
the decision of its Supreme Council, for
open wnr, anil, although it is not yet known 1
with any certainty that tho rcsolutiou has:
been embodied in any formal declaration
on the part of the Sultan, there is every
reason lor supposing that tho opinion of a
body constituted like the Supremo Coun
cil will be adopted by the Executive Gov
ernment.
This measure does not appear to have
been the result of any new or especial pro
vocation on tho part of tho Russians. The
Czar had committed his several acts of
aggression and insult, without encounter
ing the recoption to be, naturally anticlpa
■' ted. Ho had invaded and occupied the Dan
jubian Provinces; he had demanded unwar
| rentable concessions as the price ofliis re
tirement; he had rejected tho Turkish'
terms of adjustment, and he had expressed
his several intentions with tho utmost ar
rogance by the mouth ofhis Minister.
None of these proceedings, however,
elicited such a decision ns thut now pro- j
nounced, and the probability is, not that j
| the Government, or even the chief author-!
ities of the Ottoman nation, are more de
sirous than before of bringing the question ;
to the issue of tho sword, but that the feel- j
ing of the populace nnd the army have be- j
'come uncontrollable, and that a dectnra-j
I lion of war was thought indispensiblc to
J the internal security of the State.
On thd other side, the Emperor of Rus
j sia has declared for peace. This announce-1
; ment may probably appear incredible after
what has been proved rcspccling the na
ture of the original transgression, but we
can stale, upon undoubted authority, that
tho sentiments of the Czar, as expressed nt
Olmutz by his own lips, are not only in fa
vor of a pacific settlement but are recon
ciluble to a great extent with the conditions
proposed by England.
The fact that the Turkish Council had
voted war, was, of course, garnished with
all sorts of rumors. It was said that an
engagement had been fought between tho
Turks and Russians. Also, that an An
glo French land force was to occupy cer
tain passes of the Balkan and the Dardan
elles Forts, and that George Canrobert had
already been nominated to command 10,-
000 men who wore marching to embark
at Toulon, all of which was purely ficti
tious.
A Cabinet Council of British Ministers
was to be held Friday, -7ih, to take into
consideration the alarming condition of
Turkish offuirs. Thero was also a rumor
that Poiliment would bo summoned im
-1 mediately, but this is doubtful.
In concluding on the Turkish question
an editorial, the Times, says: “Wo be
lieve in what tho diplomatists call a peace
ful solution of the present difficulty, but
the peace of the world must he troubled
in the same wny no more.
The Vienna semi-official Correspondent
publiches intelligence from Constantinople
of 27th ult., received via Trieste. Tho
probabilities pointed to an immediate de
claration of war, but the Ambassador had
not abandoned the hope that tho recipro-
cal concessions might yet be made. Tho
Lloyd’s advices say that the Divan’s re
solve was nh “eventual” declaration of j
The determination was to bp communi
cated to tlio Ambassador of the Four Pow
ers. The Divan also decided that a Grand
Council should be convoked for the next
dny, to examine the position of affairs.—
Tho meeting took plate accordingly, and
Ibis is what it said to have been decided:
First of oil, it was resolved that tho system
of negotiations whs exhausted ; next, (hat
nil tho measures necessary for tho best
preparations of defenco were 'regulated;
and lastly it was declared that the moment
has arrived (or making) what was called at
Constantinople, the declaration of war.

Attitude |OF Russia. —lt is definitely
ascertained that tho Emperor of Russia re
j presented at Olmutz, that as he had accep
ted the Vienna note nt the hands of the
Conference in full satisfaction of European
(demands, and on the terms framed by his
lopponents, ho could not, witli any regard
I to his own dignity, be now referred to any
second proposal. He offered, howover, to
accept a declarationor interpretation which
seems to deprive the original Vienna Noto
of tho objoctional features since discovered)
in it; and stated distinctly that although
he could not swerve from tho conditions
first imposed upon him, he was ready to
admit at once such an explanation of those
conditions ns was conformable to the views
of the French and British Governments,
provided only that hisacktiowledgcd rights
were still maintained.
He might interpret tho Vienna noto, as |
desired by tho Westorn Powers, in a man-,
por favorable to tho Porte, hut, os he had (
interpreted it through Count Nesselrode’s
despatch in a manner totally destructive of
1 the security referred to, the only
t would bo that a Noto by which the rela
tions of two Empires were to bo regulated
on points of extreme delicacy, and only
with t\yo conflicting explanations, and
thus bo naturalized altogether. When it
suited tho purposes of Russia to disarm j
;suspicion, she might appeal to onoof those
explanations; when disposed to aggres
sion, sho might quote the other, so that
the original Note, or Convention, would
be of no vulue nt all.
Furtiieß from Constantinople.—
j Tho Paris Constilutioncl is enabled to
)state, (probably by the uid of the French
Government,) the occurrences of the 25th
and 261 h uli., at Constantinople : “At the
reiterated request of M. deßruck, the in
ternuncio of Austria, the Divan met on
the 25th ult., to deliberate anew on tbc-
Vienna No'e. Tho Divan was unnni-j
mous in deciding that the Porte could then,
less than ever, in the presence of the inter-
I pretation given to that document by the
: Cabinet ol St. Petersburg, accept it, with-)
out its having first received the modifica-|
tions indicated by Reschid Pncha.
) Two envoys arrived nt Constantinople!
on the 251 h ult., from Circassia, with ibej
object of demanding assistance against tt.e , 1
Russians, and concerting a plan of oper-|
nlions on tbeir side, should hostilities be |
commenced.
Eight hundred Poles have inscribed
their names at tho Turkish Embassy and
offered their services to the Forte, in case
of a war with Russia.
! It has been stated that tho object of the
journey of the monnrehs of Russia and
\ Austria to Warsaw, was simply to strength
en the allianco already existing between
! Russia, Austria and Prussia, not only a
gainst all revolutionary movement, but al
so against any demonstrations that the
Western Powers may possibly make.
Omer Pacha has at the present moment
nearly 115,000 under his command, nnd
before winter he expects to raise 150,000.
The Russians have already constructed
a bridge from the fortress of Ismail to
Dscheddnl od tho Denubo.
A letter from Sophia, of a late date,
states that Prince GorsckakofT has given
strict orders for the course to be pursued
if the outposts should he attacked by the
Turks.
The French and English governments
havo severally addressed notes to tho Rus
sian government on tho non-acceptance of
the Turkish modifications. These notes
have been couched in very positive terms,
and reply very forcibly to the recent note
of Count Nesselrode. They intimate that
the governments of England and Frunce
are united in their resolve to maintain the
sovereignty of tho Sultan and tho integrity
of his Empire.
A Paris correspondent stales that o
French force, now magnified into 30,000
strong, aro held in readiness to embark
for Constantinople. According to the let-
tor writers, 10,000 of these are picked
men from Algeria, and the remainder are
the troops lately in camp at Helfaut. A
corps of 18,000 wus to bo organized in the
south of France to embark at Toulon, to
reinforce the army at Rome. England,
they say, was to furnish 10,000 men, to
be embarked at several of the Channel
ports. It is needless to add that this fine
story may be safely discredited in the
meantime.

WOODWARD—KNOX—BIGLEB
Among the first of Governor Bigler's
jimportnnt official nets, in the exerciso of
j the appointing power, was tho appointment
lof Judge Woodwahd to a scat on tho Su-
J premo Bench made vacant by the death of
Judge CouLTF.n. The people confirmed
this appointment, at the ensuing election
by nominating and electing the incumbent,
and running him far ahead of his ticket.
In tho spring of 1853, Judge Knox was
appointed to fill the seat made vacant by
the death of Chief Justice Gibson. The
people ns in the case of Judge Woodward,
also coincided with the Executive, and
havo now elected Judge Knox, giving him
the largest majority ever given to any can
didate in the Stale.
Thus havo the people of the Common
wealth passed judgment upon two of the
most important official acta of
Magistrate, in a manner that admits of no
equivocation, and their verdict is approba
tory to a degree beyond comparison.
WIIAT CONSTITUTES A "BOLTER?”
A correspondent of the Rcnnsijlvanian,
writing from Smethport, sets down Alex.
Caldwell, our member elect to theLegis-
ture from this county, as a “bolter.” Per
haps we are not wise enough to know ex
actly what constitutes a holla-, but if a man
is deserving of such n name when he runs
ns a candidate unanimously nominated by
a county, polling two-thirds of the votes of
the district, and receiving 527 majority in
a poll of two thousand, then we have much
to learn, in this wny. He is no boiler,
nor will he net the part of a bolter.
following is tho vote for As

M'Alay (he Murderer, still at large.
The report which we published last week,
that a person bearing tho description giv
en of M’Alay, had been arrested by tho
citizens of libensburg has proved untrue,
and the perpetrator of this brutal murder
is still at large.
Sheriff Powell who had been on a search
for him, roturned the latter par! of last
week. Powell reports fhat he (M’Alay)
had been at work at a Tunnel which is
making on the rail road, not far distant
from Ebensburg, but had left in company
with another person for other parts about
an hour and a half previous to his arrival.
Search was made round the neighborhood
but no further trace could be found ofhim.
The Shoriff also states that Whalort the
person who murdered Kinney , in Burn
side township, this county, was also at
work ut the Tunnel. He was shown to
the Sheriff by persons at work on the job,
who informed him that he had murdered a
man in Clearfield not long since. The
Sheriff not being willing to place too much
confidence in the word of his informants,
or from some cause or othor permitted him
to pursue his labors. But on his wny
home, ho slates, that conversing with oth
er persons, ho was fully satisfied that the
person shown to him was no other than
Whalon.the supposed murderer ofKinney.
Ho states that Whalon, in all probability
is there yet, and enjf be arrested at any
time that ho is sent for. We do not know
however, of any preparations being made
to send for him.
(£rOn Saturday night last, there was
a meeting in the tpwn hall, in this place,

Gov. Diew, the United States Government

is the forerunner of nn insurrection in the
Cherokee Nation, and, we are told, has
written to Washington asking that more
troops should bo sent here to keep the na
tives in subjection. YY’e do not inticipdte
any difficulty with these people. They
have their own way of doing things, and
any interference on our part w ith their pet
ty quarrels is ‘small potatoes,’ Indians
will be Indians, in despite of Superintend
