The loss of tho Russians' is estimated at 600 killed, 200 taken prisoners, and 15 guns with their horses. Tho Turks, who Were far inferi or in numbers to their enemies, also sul fered a heavy loss. The Russians retrea ted behind Cernavoda during the night, leaving the Turks in possession of the field of battle. . * The Baltic Fleet.— We have nothing new, of importance from tliii^ 7 quarter.— ■ The fleet was keeping up a close blockade of nlll the Russian ports. No fighting yet. Aletlor from Copenhagen, April 27th, states that Sir Charles Napier, with the line-of-baitlo ships undor Admiral Corvoy and Chads were keeping up a rigorous blockade of tho Gulf of Finland, which would render tho oscapo or a single Rus sian ship impossible. Numerous prizes had been taken. The Danish government lingers on the side of Russia. The swedes are decidedly in favor of tho allies. One Swedish line-of-batllo ship, nnd four frig ates were in commission at Copenhagen, and more were being made ready. A most formidable force of row boats fi being organized by the Russians to harass the invading fleet, from the shallow waters. Eight hundred armed boats arc already enrolled. All tho boats of the Neve Yacht club are placed at the service of the Stale. A considerable number of them are assembled at Swenborg and Cronstadt. . ' „ The bombardment ofjOdessa is folly confirmed. The batteries wero all des troyed i 10 Russian vessels were also des troyed, nnd 13 others, luden with ammu pition, captured. The town nnd neulrnl property woro spared. The combined fleets left for Sebastopol. TIIE CREEK INSURRECTION- Battle between the Turks and Greeks the latter routed with much loss. April 28th.—On the 25th Artn was ta ken by tho Turks, and 3,000 insurgents pnder Karaiskaki were defeated by tho Turks under Omcr Pacha. Many Greeks attempting *P join the insurgents have been taken by the French ships, and have been delivered over to Fund Eflendi. At tempted insurrection in Samos has failed. Another .letter from Corfu, published in the Paris tifonitcitr , mentions further par ticulars. Arta*, it says, the principle cen tre of the Greek insurrection, was taken ..on the 25th ult., by the Ottoman troops imder Osman, after a combat of fifty min utes. The insurgents, 3,Ogp strong under the commapd of Tsavellas and Knraiska- Ijois, left 150 dead, tho number of their wounded is not known.

The Constnniinople correspondent of ilio Times soys:—Two mornings since n re port was brought llmt a beautiful girl of 17 had coDducicd 60,000 warriors from the heart of Asia, and hud luid their servi ces at the feet of the Sultun. It was nat lural at fust to believe llmt this rumor wasi only ns true ns others with which we were amused or annoyed in this metropolis or idleness. However an unusual tumult in the streets proclaimed something of impor tance, and it soon appeared that ihcro was a sediment of truth, after wiping away the froth of Oriental exaggeration. The eas tern and southern parts of Asia Minor aro the patrimony of wandering tribes, who to a fierce?. Mussulman spirit unite a strong feelingof independer.ee, and who aro al ways ready to contest the authority of the 1 Sultan, except when it is in real danger. A line drawn from Sinopo to Smyrna will mark tho goundnries of tho regions which, totally subjected to tho authority of tho Pashas, furnish their contingent of Bashi- Bazouks according to a regular militia law of grcal antiquity. To the southeast of this lino the penin sula contributes no certain supply of men; and it is only on occasions like the present i that tho name of the Prophet or tho love of plunder induces them to quit their plains j and mountains, and vcnturo into contact, with civilized man. One of tho tribes, said to be capable of furnishing 4000 horsemen, is under the guidance of a wo man, whose name or rank is expressed by the word “Futima.” Their home is in the mountains of' Cilicia, and whether or not they aro of kin to the ancient pirates, thev cc'rtuinly bear a strong morul resem blance. 300 of them set out front their stronghold six weeks ago, and their ap pearance at Scutari gave rise to tho ex citement I havo memioned. Tho queen, or prophetess, for she is endowed with su pernatural attributes, is a little dark old woman of about 00, with nothing oi the Amazon in her appearance, although she wears what seems to be intended for male attire, and bestrides her steed like the war riors of her train. Sho is attended by two handmaids, like herself in masculine cos tume, and was brought across tho Bospho . rus with a select band of followers to a i specious of barracks in Stamboul. Tho Bashi-Bnzouks are beings of refined intelligence, in comparison with those no mads of the Karamanian wilds, nnd whoso condition and numbers are unknown even to tho Patches of tho province. Their Arms arc various, and seem to indicate a modo of warfare in which each man keeps tho spoils ho has won. Some carry the | pistols and yataghan of tho Albanian, here, and ihcro is a rifle that may have come | from Berminghnm, and n carved- cimiter from tho forges of Syria. One will carryi a wooden club or mace, which he swings round his head, chattering his teeth, and gesticulating violently, as if to multo up for the poverty.of his armament by a dis play of ferocity. The long matchlock of the Affghnn is not wanting, and individuals of tl)0 tribp tire said to retain the bow und arrows of their remote forefathers. One account declares that conjugal affection has impelled tho hcroino to her perilous enterprise. ,JHer husband is exputiating sundry misdemeanors in a Candian pris on, and Fatima, fearful that her entreaties Would hayo little effect on the Sultan with out some proof of her loyalty, has brought three hundred of her best warriors to fight tho Muscovite, on the reasonable terms of eighty piastres a month, with tooth nnd stirrup money in every village they may traverse. , ’ OirOne ofthe fuels put in evidence at ' the trial in the supreme court, to the will * of the Into William Russell, was, that only * a few days before he had made the will, ' he called at the office of the Democrat and paid for his paper a yeur in advance, there by saving filly cents. .

SALE OK TIU) PUBLIC WORKS. Wo linvo of Into possessed ourselves of some ad ditional information on this subject, and learned moro of tho details of tho’ proposition to sell.— As a niero fiinancial measure we are now con vinced that it were good policy to to sell at tho present timo for the best prico that can bo ob. tained for the same. If but ten millions wore received, it will bo perceived that six per cent, in terest on the tame, and that is the rate of interest | imposed on tho purchaser—is equal to six millions j of dollars per annum of net revenue. Tho mated revenue for tho present year does not ex-. ceod half thnt sum. The revenue from tho public works lust year was about half that amount. \But 1 besido the prico to bo received, tho present nppro ' priation bill contains over $1,000,000 to now work, which will be saved should tho sale take plnco.- On this point tho Governor, as wo learn, is well satisfied with the proposition to to sell ; indeed any one can readily perceive that it will require three or four years to get back in net revenue, the amount to bo expended this season iu extraordi nary repairs and now work, should no sulo occur. The expectation thou that Governor Biglor would interfere was not a reasonable one. Tho represen tatives of the people, by about a two-third voto In both branches of tho Legislature having nccedcd in favor of selling, and a minority of tho Canal Commissioners, tho very agents to whom the peo plo hove confided this branch of tho public affairs, having officially, by a communication to tho llouso of Heprosentotives, endorsod this policy, tho Intor feronco of tho Executive against tho measure, ox copt for reasons connected with tho dotails of the proposition, would havo been to Bay tho least of ib an unwarranted, if not a v'bry arbitrary oxeroiso ofj his perogptive. Governor Bigler it is trutS) has used tho voto power with freedom, but always with marked discretion, and henco ho has been uniformly sustainod by tho representatives of tho pooplo, offocting many valuable and salutnry ro forms through its instrumentality. Wo trust that tho luster of thoso monsuros may novor bo soiled )by tho nbuso of the voto power to which somo would fnin drivo him. On tho abstract question of selling tho public works it should bo remomborod that somo years sinoo this proposition was submitted to tho pooplo, and that tlioy ondorsod tho policy of soiling by a very largo vote. Thoso who think tho moasuro of partisan character, and that therefore tho Governor should havo intorfored, Ehould look at tho voto 6f tho counties whoso representatives votod for a gale. They will discover that tho largest portion of qbo most reliable domocrnUo counties m thfr Stam'ifavored tlio epic; for instunco, Northampton, MonVoo, Piko, Wayno, Susquolianna, Lihigh, Car bon, Schuylkill, Northumberland, Contro, York, Berks, Montgomery, Westmoreland, Fayotto, Groon Washington, Bodford, and Wnrron, havo all de l clarod in favor of a salo. Tho construction of thoso works at tho timo thoy wore undertaken, was both wiso and nocossary. It then required tho associated powor, moans, and crodit of tho State to break through tho wildornoßs with thoso mighty avonuos, but that necessity no longor odists.

Companies though sometimes in- J flucnttnl in tlio Legislature, have no powor over tho mass of the people; but it is qt>Ho too loto to ob ject to tho existence of such corporations when our Stuto is stripod and Btrookcd nil over with similar orios nnd their works. Tho idoa tlmt tho constructed her public works to preserve her liber ties is too far drawn.

CONGRESSIONAL, Nothing of moment has transpired in tho Sonnto for the last fortnight. Our present relations with Spain, arising from transactions at Cuba, is made tho sulijoct of occasional discussion and inquiry, while tho Presidents veto of tho hill grunting 10,- onn.oun of acres of tho public lands for the benefit of tiio insnne of tho several States, is the chief to phi of debate. If tlio rumor that Spain has poreiu etorily refused tho domnnd for satisfaction for tho Hlnek Warrior outrago, turns out to be true, a mos sngo from tho President is anticipated, nnd prompt action thereon on tho part of tho Senate. The House was still debating tho Nebraska ques tion at our last duteß, in ono hour speeches, for which purposo they were liulding ovening sessions. On Friday night, the 12tlr inst., at 12 o’clock, they adjourned after a session of 30 hours—all'of which tiino was spent in taking tho yeas and nnys on mo tion to adjourn, Ac.—which adjournment tho ad vocates of tho hill resisted, and its opponents op posed ; nnd tho adjournment was only effcctod on the motion of Col. lliclinrdsotr, tho mover of tlio bill, after ho was solicited to do by the opposi tion, with tlio intimation that if they had ail oppor tunity to consult togethor they might bo able to collie to terms. Tho llouso met nguin on Saturday, hut upon tho scenes of tho previous day being re newed, tho mujurity ugain moved an adjournment. Oil Monday evening, tho friends of the bill had a caucus, and whon tho Hoilso met they olTercd a resolution to closo tho dobnto on Saturday, anil to postpono tlio special order—tho Pacific railroad !,il! —which was to como lip on tho lioxt day. This was stubbornly resisted by a large mujority of tho opposition, though some half dozen ol them, and among the nninbor wo are glad to soo tho naino of James Uaiublp of Lycoming, voted with tho ma jority, and carried it by more than two thirds. It was during this strugglo that an angry altercntiou took pluco between llurst of Louisianna, an Anti- N'cbruska whig, and Craig, of North Carolinn, a Nebraska Democrat, which waaWewod agnin on Tuesday, whon, after Hurst had mado some remarks Craig replied "that tho gcntlomcn Bhould not bo allowod to strut luto a scrapo and snoak out of it in that way." Tho sovority of this remark cun be bettor comprehended whon it is understood that Hurst is a practical duollist —having fought sever al, and having filled tho mcasuro of tho duollist s glory, by having "killed his man." Hut it was thought that no hostilo moeting would tako plnco. It was generally supposed that tho quostion would bo taken up on lust Saturday, although i t is not improbablo that tho factious spirit of tho minority may have again urged thorn to further resistance, in obodioncp to tho ndyico of Grooly and liis band of traitors, to burn tlovn the Capitol ratlior than al low tho bill to pass.

Slavery Existing in Nebraska. A Idler from William Walker, chief of the I Wyandolt tribe of Indians, formerly of| Ohio, says that slavery exists in Nebraska j among the whites and Indians in defiance of the compromise of 1820. It has in existence ever since it was organized as an Indian Territory. True, there are not many slaves, but still slavery exists.— Some slaves are held by the Indians by virtue of their.own laws and usages, and some byjregular bills of sale from citizens of Missouri, while the white settlers from the latter State never hesitate to bring slaves with them. The editor of the Hollidnysburg Stand ard says : “A friend informs us that a ves sol filled with water and placed under a fruit tree, will effectually prevent the fruit from being killed by frost And we are inclined to believo it, for the only cherry tree in our garden that escaped the late j frosts unharmed, was one standing imme diately over a rain barrel. The remedy is very simple dpd worthy of trial. Those who have fruit trees should make a note of it. - 1 POSTAGE ! POSTAGE I j Mr. Olds says the rates of postage must || bo increased.
