Foreign sews.
The following items' we glean from the intelli
gence brought by the, Niagara, which arrived at
Halifax on Thursday afternoon :
THE TURKISH WAR.—For the present, all
hostilities are suspended between the Russians and
Turks—the high flood in the Danube preventing
active operations. When the frosts set in it is ex
pected the fighting will be resumed.
New attempts at, reconciliation have been made
by the French Emperor. The French Minister.at
London has returned to Paris with a draft of a
treaty, agreed to by France and England, and the
other powers were to be invited to join.
It is said that both the Russian and Turkish
monarchs are anxious for peace. The latter has
sent Faud Effendi as imperial commissioner to the
army on the Danube, to restrain the ardor of Omar
Pacha, and thus give diplomacy another coonce.
Some skirmishing still continues to take place in
Europe and Asia, generally resulting in favor of
the '1 urks. •
The Grand Duke Michael has been appointed
commander of the Russian army of reserve, to act
against the Cireassians.
IREDAND.--The weather was every where fa
vorable for agriculture. A company had been
chartered.at Cork, for the manufacture of flax.
FRANCE.—The Emperor and Empress are to
be coronated on • the 27th of January. There is
still a scarcity of breadstufis, notwithstanding the
immense importation.
_ . . .
PORTUGAL—The Queen died in child-bed, as
also her infant. The union of Spain and Portugal
is again talked of.
AUSTRIA.—The Emperor of Austria is to be
married on the 20th of April.

iugtun correspondent of the Baltimore Argus, thus
sums up the causes 01 the Harrisburg Keystone's
'`%. bitter hostility td the administration in general and
Col. Font Ey in particular:
In a former letter I referred to the Harrisburg
Keystone and its bad attack upon Col. Forney. It
appears that Barrett, tha editor of that newspaper,
was an applicant for the office of Postmaster at
the Capital of the State, in which application,how
ever, he was unsuccessful. iiic lacryrnrv, hint
causasbelli: • This is the origin of his bitter oppo
sition to the administration, and the cause Ed Iris
attacks upon the clerk of the lbirner House of Rep
resentatiVes. Besides this, he has been writing at
the behest of Cameron, whose creature he i,, and
who is bitterly hostile to Col. Forney, for his ex
pose, as editor of the Pesmsylvanian, of the other's
political tergiversations.

The: Yankee Antions for IS54:
A New Volume. Prospectus. In commencing
anew volume of The Notions, the subscriber begs
to say a few words to its readers and the world at
large. Twelve months ago, when the second vol
ume was begun, its circulation was but fifteen
thousand, all told ; it has now reached thirty thous
and, dud increases with every number. As with its
circulation, so with its improvement, the last num
ber is always the best one. This, however, is ac
counted for when its character and the money laid
out upon it, is considered. Unlike many similar
attempts in this country, it does not copy cuts from
the London Punch, and the like French and Eng
lish publications, but has a corps of artists of its
own, whom it pays liberally for their best efforts !
Its multitudes of its pictures, even its smaller ini
tial letters, are designed for it, and for no other
paper. This, and the amount, and ability of read
ing matter in each number, has run it up fifteen
thousand in twelve months, and will run it up
twenty thousand more during the next year.
For the literary portion of The Notions, the sub
scriber says nothing, and for the best of all rea
sons, it speaks for itself. It ranges over the whole
ground of wit and humor, from the keenest bon
mot and rapartee, to the broadest and richest joke,
and anecdote. Tales, essays, sketches, witticips,
from the best writers in the country; glanca at
passing events at home and abroad, and in fact, it
is a general omnium gatherum of caricatures.—
Thus it has been during the two years of its exist
ence, and thus, and a great deal more, too, it will
be in its third volume. Each number will consist
of thirty-two quarto pages, double columns, and
will contain from from fifty to one hundred illus
trations. It will be printed on good paper, on
clean new type, and, what is most wonderful of
all, afforded for the small sum of One Dollar and
Twenty-Five Cents per annum! Who can't and
won't subscribe at that ridiculously low price.—
Furthermore : To all who send in their subscrip
tions before the Fourteenth of February, 1854, the
subscriber will sencf "Free Gratis, for Nothing,"
a beautiful Valentine, worth not less than Twenty-
Five Cents.
Here be inducements indeed. Now step up to

The first and second volumes are nuw in the
hands of the Binders, and may be had, hereafter,
in a variety of bindings in cloth and morocco. The
late firo which destroyed a part of the subscriber's

in addition, numerous wood cut,. The Engra
vings, at the end of the year, alone are worth the
subscription price.

are engraved superbly On steel, from patterns re- ,
ceived in advance: A comparison between this
Magazine and others, in this respect, is challenged.
The "Gossip about the Fashions," published in
each number, is fuller, better and later than can
be had elsewhere at any price. In the Eastern ci
ties this work is universally held to be the text
book of fashion. In addition, the departments for
new receipts, Crochet work, Embroidery, Netting,
Horticulture and female Equestrianism, are always
well filled, profusely illustrated, and rich with the
latest novelties. The publisher offers it to the sex
as the best Ladies Magazine in the world.

The Globe.—The official paper of Congr es
and newspaper for the people.--It will be sees
by the annexed extract from a letter of General
Washington to David Stewart, dated at New York
17th March, 1790, that the idea of such a paper as
I propose to make the Globe, originated in the
mind of the father of his country. He said
"It is to be lamented that the editors of the dif
ferent Gazettes in the Union do not more generally
and more correctly (instead of stuffing their papers
with scurrility and nonsensical declamation which
few would read if they were apprised of their con
tents) publish the debates in Congress on all great
national questions. The principles upon which
the differencb of opinion arises, as well as the de
cisions, would then come fully before the public,
and dud the best data for its judgment." Sparks ,
Writings of Washington, vol. 10, p. 84.
In surrendering my interest in the organ of a
great political party, I cherished the purpose of
continuing the Congressional Globe,
and, if possi
ble in time, to derfect it into a full history of the
action of Congress, giving the debates accurate'
and fully with the proceedings—all stamped wi
the variety of an official record. From the pasta
of the letter of General Washington, which I hay
quoted, it will be perceived that he thought thib
office might be combined with' that of a regular
newspaper; and it is certain that the avidity of the
public for news of the less important kind greatly
contributes to give wings to the weightieer matter
which may be called Congressional news.
Having succeeded in my purpose of perfecting
the reports of the debates in Congress and giving
them the official stamp, .I now propose to send
them abroad, in connection with the news of the
day, in inch haste as shall outstrip full and accu
rate intelligence sent from the seat of government
in any other form whatever. It will even antici
pate the scraps of news forwarded to cities within
two hundred and fifty miles of Washington by tel
egraph. Before the events thus transmitted are
published in the morning papers, (for instance, of
the city of New York,)the Globe containing these
will have reached the post office of that city by the
Express Mail of the previous night. The process
by which this will eflbcted I now lay before the
public..
I will have a corps of sixteen Reporters in Con
gress; each in succession will take notes during
five minutes, and then retire, prepare them for the
Press, put them slip by slip in the hands of com
positors, and thus while a debate is going on in
Congress, it will be put in type, and in a tew min
utes after it is ended it will be in print. I shall by
this means be enabled to semi by the Express mail
of 5 o'clock p. m. for the East,West and North
and by that of 9 o'clock p. m. or the Southall the
proceedings of Congress up to the ordinary hour of
adjournment. Thus the accurate debates of Con
gress will reach the city, two hundred and fifty ,
miles from the capital, before their daily morning
papers are in circulation.
The miscellaneos news I shall be careful to
gather from remote sections of the country by tel
egraph. I will obtain from the Executive Depart
ments, through official sources, the clatters of mo
ment transacted in them, and, through agents em
ployed for that purpose, all the city news of con
sequence in sufficient time to be put into the Globe
and mailed in the express mail trains. In this way
I hope to create a new era in the dissemination et
news from Washington before the public mind at a
distance had received its firat impressions from ir
responsible telegraphic despatches; or by letter wri
ters biased by peculir views.
Washington has now become so groat a centre of
political interest during all the year—the proceed
ings of the Executive-Departments, and the infor
mation collected by them, even during the recess
of Congress, is of so much importance to the inter
est of every section of the country--that I shall
continue the publication of the daily paper perma
nently, with a view to become the vehicle of the
earliest and moat correct intelligence.
It is part of my plan to reduce the price of the
daily paper to halt that of similar daily papers; and
thus I hope to extend its circulation so us to invite
advertisements. I will publish advertisements of
the government. To subscribers in the cities I
hope to submit such terms as will induce them to
advertise their business in every village through
out the Union, where the Globe is sent daily under
the franks of members of Congress, all of whom
take it and some of them a large number ofcopies.
The installation of a new administration and a
new Congress portends much change in the course
of public affairs as the result of the next session.--
Many vast interests which were brought up in the
last Congress were laid over by the democratic
majority to await the action . of a democratic exec
utive .. The new modelling ofthe tariff; tjie new
land system; the question of giving homesteads
and making every man a freeholder who may
choose to become one; the approximation of the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans by a national railroad
across the terrritory of the Union; reform in the
Army, Navy, and civil offices— all these great
questions, with a thousand minor ones, deeply al
fecting multitudes of men and. every State in the
Union, will, now being matured by public opinion
come up fur the government's decision. These
new issues, co-operating with old-ones, coming up
to be disposed of by new actors on the scenes at
Washington, will be apt to modify greatly if not
alter essentially, the party organizations of the
country.
To these elements of interest another is likely
to be introduced by the interposition of the agita
tions of Europe. After nearly lorty years of peace
in Europe, there is an evident restlessness that
now seems franght with tendencies threatening
war; and if war comes, in all'llkehhood there will
folloW such universal change that the United States
can scarcely hope to escape its vortex. Indeed,
from late events it is apparent that our Govern
ment is already drawn into European difficulties.
These circumstances are calculated to draw the
public mind towards the next Congress with much
expectation
The Daily Globe will be printed on fine paper,
double royal size ' with small type, (brevior: and
nonpareil,) at five dollars a year.
The, Congressional Globe will also be printed on
a double sheet, in book form, royal quarto size;
each number containing sixteen pages. The Con
gressional Globe paper will be made up of the
proceedings of Congress and the running debates
as given by the reporters. The speeches which
members may choose to write out themselves will,
together with the message of the President of the
United States, the reports of the Executive Depart-
ments, and the laws passed by Congress, be added
in an appendix. Formerly I received subscriptions
for the Congressional Globe and Appendix sepa
rately: But this has not been found satisfactory,
inasmuch as it gave an incomplete view of the
transactions in Congress; and therefore 1 have con-
eluded not to sell them apart, considering that
neighbors can have the advantage of botliby club
bing in case individuals shall find it too onerous to
be at the charge of both.
To facilitate the circulation of the Congressional
Globe, and cheapen it to subicribers, Congress pas
sed last year a joint resolution making it free of
postage. I annex„ it, as the law may not be acces
sible to postmasters generally :
Joint resolution providing for the distribution of the
Laws of Congress and the debates thereon.
With a view to the cheap circulation of the laws
of COngress and the debates contributing to the
true interpretation thereof, and to make free the
communication between the representative and the
constituent bodies:
$3 to $lO
Be it resolved by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of America
in Congress assembled, That from and alter the
present session of Congress, the Congressional
Globe and Appendix, which contains the lawn and
the debates thereon, shall pass free through the
mails so long as the same shall be published by or
der of Congress: Provided, that nothing herein
shall be construed to authorize the circulation of
tho Daily Globe free of postage.
Approved, August 6, 1852.
As I sell the Daily Globe at half the price of
similar publications, so the Congressional Globe
and Appendix is sold for half the cost of so much
composition, press-work and paper. This I can
afford to do, inasmuch as the subscription of Con—
gress almost covers. the cost of composition, and .
this enables me to sell for little more than the cost
of press-work and paper. It requires the sale of
about 9,000 copies to reimburse expenses. If 500
only were sold, the cost of each copy would be
about $lO4l The debates in the English Parlia
ment cost about eleven times as much as I charge
subscribers for the debates in Congress, equal in
quantity, and as well reported and printed.
The next session of Congress will be a long one;
and it is believed the Congressional Globe, for it,
will reach 4000 royal quarto pages, as the last long
session made 3842; and the long one before that
made 3901 royal quarto pages—tour large volumes
each session. If subscribers will be careful to file
all the numbers received by them; I will supply
any that may miscarry in the mails. This work
increases in value as it grows old. The first sev
enteen volumes will 'now command three times,
and some of the subsquent ones twice, their ori
ginal subscription price.
The subscription price for the Congressional
Globe (including the• Appendix and the laws) is
six dollars.
Complete indexes willte made out and forward
ed to subscribers soon after the session is ended.
Subscribers for the daily should have their mon
ey hers by the sth, and for the Congressional
Globe by the 15th of December) The money must
accompany an order for either the Daily or the
Congressional Globe. Banks notes current where
a subscriber resides will be received at par.
