Loxrrbx, Ool. 19 The Times sny ilini the Turkifh Manifesto, is one nf the strongest stud mosl unans'veiablo state papers that has ver bean issued during the present century. The Lomlon I'ost says thai, morally, Rus sia it already defeated, and that she will be 8i materially. Hostilities on the Danube and the shores of the Caspian Sea arc deem ed Id bo inevitable. A dispatch from Vienna, of 1 T i h inst., Says that ChiilscbokolT, the Uussian Cum mauder in the Principalities, has replied lo the Tuiki-.li summons lo leavo within fifteen days, thai he has nonuthotiiy either lo com' menee hostilities, make peace or lo evacuate the principalities, and t hat therefore, ho re fuse! lo do either. The Russian subjects in Turkey have been placed undur the protection of Austria. TheTuiks allow neutral Haas upon Ihe Danube up to the 25lh inst., but alter that, they are to be excluded. Austria nn.l Pmssia have recalled their subjects from the Turkish service. The Turkish declaration of wat has been published in lull. It is temperate in lan guage, but hiyh spirited. It lays r.o embar go upon Russian ships, and fully, protects Ihe rights of commerce. Prussia and Austria both give indication that they will keep neulial in the difficulties growing out of Ihe Eastern Question, ami French and English diplomatists, therefore, consider, that the war being confined to Ihe Turkish frontier, will not be likely to spiead throughout Europe. When the Czar of Russia heard of the de. claration of war by Turkey, he fell into a furious rage, and swore he would wage a war of extermination with the Turks. Omar Pisha has notified Iho Russian Com mander to clear out of the Principalities be fore the 25th, or he would commence hostilities.- It is not supposed that the fighting will commence on the Danube, but in Georgia or on the Black Sea. Old General Faskiewitch is to take Iho cYief command of the Russian army in the Principalities. On the 5lh of October the combined fleets were observed preparing to advance for Con stantinople. CIRCASSIA. A battle was fought on the 3?th uf Sep tember, between Schamjl and the Russians, after which the Circatians retired i ilo the mountains. There had bcti a heavy loss on both sides. FRANCE.

The Japan Expedition under Comtnodoie Perry, returned to Jeddo, on the 17th ol Au gust, having met with a fiicndly reception. The Comtnodoie had an interview wi:h two of the Impuiial Princes, an I delivered to Ihera the President's letter. lie is to return in the Spring for a reply. The Amciicans and Japanese parted with an interchange of presents and mutual expressions of good will'. The following interesting account of the movements of the ovnedilion is frm the North China Mail, of August 1 Mi : The appearance of the steamers the first tier seen in Japanese waters with the other vessels in tow, moving with ali sails furled, kt the rate of nine or ton knots an hour, ap peared to produce considerable scnsatini among Iho Japanese, and all t ho hading junks, with uhich ihe bay was crowded", i-arefully kepi out of llieir way. As ihe vessels were coming to anchor, two hells or rockets were fired into the uir from battery about a mil. distant, but apparently a signal, and nut a token of hostility. Several government boats immediately camo ofT, and endeavored to put on board the ves sel the usual notification l.i foreigners, warn ing Ihein to depart. Tliey wero not reci ved, however, and iho Deputy Governor of I'raga, who was the only person allowed lo come on board, was notified that, if Ihn Ja panese authorities endeavored to unround the ships with lire usual cordon of bjuts, jl would lead to very seiious consequences A few boats, nevertheless, lingered around Iho Susquehanna, but the sight of some war like jwepufnt'io'uS Satisfied lhal Commodore Peny was in earnest, and ihey quickly it tired During the slay if the squadron in I ha bay it Was never afterwards visited by any boats xoepl those containing the officials through whom lbs negotiations were carried on. The next morning, Yezaiman, ih gover nor of Urags, and oobleinau of the third rank, came off, and, after ascertaining tlltf object f the visit, asked for li.i.e todupttch an txprass to Jeddo. in order to coniuruiii cat the information, and obtain instructions feow lo act. During lb three days which elaaswd before th. answer arrived, the Mis sissippi mad a trip of about ten miles fur ther up lot lay, fiiiJiog everywhere deep soundings Ileyond the promontory of Urngn, a paint which no foreign vessel hod pnsed befoie, she discovered a large and beautiful bight, which was perfectly land locked, and offered the most secure and com m&dious anchorage. She was followed at a distance by a number of government boats, but none of them attempted to interfere with her. On Tuedny th 12 h, an answer arrived from Jeddo, suiting that Ihe empeior had ap pointed an ollicer of the highest rnnk lo pro ceed lo Urapn, and receive the letter of the President of Ihe United Stales, and salisraclo ry proofs having been given to Commodore Perry that this appointment came directly from the Impeiial Government, It was ar ranged that the interview should take place on the morning of the 14th. The Japanese selected iho small town of Goiih iina, about three miles smith of Urags, for the interview. On the mornins of iho 14th the Susquehanna ond ihe Mississippi look up a position off the town, and lay with Iheir broadsides lothe shore. The Governor and Deputy-Governor of Uraga, with the commandant of the military forces, came off to accompany the Commodoro to Ihe landing place. The officers and men detained to accompany Commodore Perry amounted to about 400, w hile the force of Iho Japanese was variously estimated at from 5000 to 7000. The Commodore was escorted, with the Ameiican colors flyinc, ond the bands play ing the national ' Hail Columbia," to Ihe house of reception. Here ho was received by Iho Prince of Uzu, first Councillor of ihe Emperor, who was accompanied by the Priuco of Iwami. The letter of the Presi dent and Commodore Perry's letter of cre dence were formerly delivered, and an ofli ci.il leceipt given in return by ihe two Pi Sli ces. The Commodore stated, that in order to givo the Japanese Government ample lime for deliberation be would depart in three or four days and return in a few months, lo receive ihe reply. On the following day Commodore Perry, in ihe Mississippi, went about ten miles be yond ibis, making a totul distance of 20 miles beyond Ihe limit of previous explora tion From the deck of Ihe frigate a crowd of shipping was seen seven or eight miles lo tho northward ; and, from the number of junks continually going and coming, it was evident that this was ihe anchorage in front of the capitol. The officers of the Susque hanna ami Mississippi speak with admiration of the beauty of the shores, and the rich cul tivation and luxuriant vegetation which they everywhere witnessed. The natives with whom they came in contact, were friendly in Iheir demeanor, ond Ihe governor of Uraga is spoken of as a model ol refinement and good breeding. The day before the depailure of the squadron, Ihe Governor went on board the Susquehanna, taking with him a number of present, consisting of articles of lacquered ware and other Japanese manufactures. wulking on the floe. Seeing a person com ing very fast towards them, they supposed he was chased by a bear, or had seen a bear.

Pitn began lo screech and throw tip his hands (hi face was as black as my hat); this brought the captain and lieutenant to a stand, as ihey could not hear sufficiently to make out his language. At length Pirn reached the patty. unite beside, himself, and stammerred out, on M'Clure'. asking him, 'Who are yon and where do you come Irom V 'Lieut Pitn, Her aid, Captain Keilett.'

He rays. 'He soon was seen from (he ship; had only one hatchway open, and the crew were fairly jammed there in their hammocks and the crew forgot their despondency; in fact, all was changed on board the Investiga tor.'" Captain M'Clure, in a letter to his uncle says : ,;The surprise caused by the appearance ol strangers, w here none were imagined lo be within a couple of thousand miles, was more lhan I can describe, and w hat can only faint ly be imagined by any who has not been similarly situated, particularly w hen it was ascertained lhal two vessels and latge sup plies were so close at hand.

MeClure, to Ihe British Admiralty, relative to ihe discovery of the Northwest Passage, to which cursory refei ouco was made by Ihe previous steamer. From ihese despatches it appears that the Northwest Passage has not yet been made by water. The great point settled by Commodore Me Clure is this he has managed to force bis ship, the Investigator, far enough through ihe icy mountains of Bchrings Slraits, lo a point whiih she could communicate with olhert which had entered the Arctic Seas by the Atlantic Passage. The interval of 170 miles, which alone separated Ihe two expeditions, being crossed on fool by the hardy explorers. It was confidently expected, however, lhal this winter the whole distance would be accom plished by water. Thoie are still no traces of Fiankliii. There ate two remaikable dis coveries mentioned by Captain MeClure, some smoking hillocks and a petrified forest. Only once was any hostile attempt made against him. This occurred at Poit Warren, near the Mackenzie, where, on attempting to laud, two natives, with threatening gestures, waved ihein ofi. It was not without much difficulty that they weio pacified, and then they related that all Iheir tribe but the chief and his s ck son had flod on seeing Ihe ship. alleging as a reason that Ihey feared the ship had come to revenge ihe death of a white man ihey had murdered some lime ago Tliey (thiough ihe interpreter) related that some while man had come there in a boat and that they bnill themselves a houso i.nd lived there ; at last t lie mitives murdered one, and llio others cscapeif, they knew not where b it the murdered man was buried in a spot they pointed out.

TI1K U1ZETTE AND TUB EX-TREASURERS. Our neighbor of the Gazette, in his last issue, wriggles like an eel in the mud, in his rflort to defend the late Treasurers of this county, and especially himself, from alleged charges against them. With the aid of Webster, Dickens, and a copious in fusion of billingsgate, he has succeeded in filling up nearly a column of his paper, which, if it does not redound much to his literary fame as a writer, is still less credit able to his character as a logician. The editor should have learned, long ere this, stolid as he is, lhat vulgarism and rani, can never supply the place of argument. If any relative of ours called upon the editor of the Gazette, however proper the motive, with the view of an amicable explanation, we think he has occasion to regret that he exhibited so little knowledge ol human na ture, as to expect an honorable or satisfac tory result. The Gazette savs "We - j thought that aftpr a weeks silting the "American" would be able to produce a pretty large brood of lies," &" The re mainder ol this beautiful paragraph, we would like lo furnish our readers as a spe cimen of oiip ol the grealesl curiosities of literary vulgarism, that has ever issued from the brain of any one not hopelessly insane, but a sense of delicacy, as well as duty to our readers, forbid it. We should much like to accommodate our neighbors of the Gazette, in any reasonable way, but if they suppose lhat we ever intend to follow Iheir example, either in "producing a brood of lies," or in using the choice language in which they clothe their ideas, we lear they will always be doomed lo disappointment. We do not know how long it may lake the editors of the Gazette to get up such a hash ol unmeaning and unintelligible jargon as appeared in their last, but we assure them that what we have said in this, as well as our paper of the 22J tilt., was hastily pre pared while the composilors were putting it. in type. Our time is entirely too pre cious to waste so much upon such small productions, smaller even that! small pota toes. But the real point at issue is the compe tency or the capability of the "late Treasu rers." Had a judicious friend been con sulted, he would have advised .silence in regani to tins cnarge. ji mere ever was a proposition self evident, it is, that on oflicer who is not capable of keeping his accounts, so that himself and others can understand them, is incompetent to discharge his duties, Yet such is the fact in rejard to our late Treasurers. They haJ mixed up their County and Stale funds, in such a manner that the Auditors could not underMrnd them, nor could they properly explain them. TIip state was overpaid by a large amount which properly belonged to the county. The custom lias been to let the auditors settle the best way Ihey could, and the Treasurer was always satisfied with the result, provided the balance was not er roneously ajainst himself. n this way, a few years since, Ihe Treasurer of Lycoming on a re-audit, was loutnl to be indebted to the county over 8'2,09J. The Treasurer of Columbia $:00 or $G00. How much of it has been received we are not aware of. When the editor of the Gazette went out ol office he had some 300 or SiOO lhat belonged somewhere, to the State, the County, or himself. The Slate did not claim it, ami as the Treasurer knew it did not belong to himself, it must of necessity belong to the County, but has the County Treasurer ever received it or thp balance of $S1 reported to be due Irom Mr. Simp son, and from which report he has appeal- TIIE WILLIAMSPORT PRESS. The editor of the Trtst at Willi amsport, in reply to our article of the 2 2d ult., com mences by referring to the discovery of galvanism. Its application, however, is about as foreign to the subject, as the edi. tors argument is (o the case in question There is, certainly, no occasion lor galvan ism, or any other ism to produce a "con traction," spasmodic or otherwise, in the mind of our neighbor ol the Press. It would be worse than useless lo improve on nature in this respect. In some cases, she has so firmly set her seal, lhat it would defy the utmost rfToiisof art, to produce a change. The editor seems to think that Sunbury "may yet become a buy inland mart," thanks to her coal. Even this ex torted admission is accompanied by an ill nalured sneer at our neighbors across the water. Whether "belogged by bad whis key" or some other evil spirit, this fault finding, not to say slandering of our neigh bors, argue, not only a bar! temperament and disordered digestion, but an ungenerous and unchristain-like disposition. The editor denies any intention to decry the "real merits of the Philadelphia and Sunbury rail road," and admits its value for coal transportation. We may here say that the company look upon the passenger business, on this road, important as it might be to ordinary roads, as a small matter, compared to the coal, iron lumber and other busi ness, though there is no doubt but that the road will always be a pnpul.tr and pleasant one for travellers. That some would prefer the Packet route, especially in bad weather, we shall not dis pute, but that a majority of those who have tried both routes, should do so, is altogether problematical.

The branch rail road extending to this new colliery, was completed about a week ago, since which, the operators, Messrs. Cochran & Pcale, have been sending down their coal, daily, for shipment at this place. Most ol it, we observe, is consigned to the markets at Lancater, York, &.c.

One near this place and one at Shamokin, We examined the scales at this place which have been just completed. Their structure is entirely different from the old railroad scales on this road. Their superior durability and strength is apparent to every one of the least mechanical judgment. The plan of construction is simple and philosophical. All the bearings are broad knife-edges, placed on parallel lines, which lest on polished surfaces. Though these scales are capable of weighing from 20 to 5D tons, a few pounds are sufficient to incline the balance. They are used on all the princi pal roads in the United States, and have a world wide celebrity. the friends of th road.
