TIE EASTERN QUESTION.
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

after which the Circatians retired i ilo the

both sides.

THE JAPAN EXPEDITION.
The Japan Expedition under Comtnodoie

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

vessels in tow, moving with ali sails furled,

i-arefully kepi out of llieir way.
As ihe vessels were coming to anchor, two
hells or rockets were fired into the uir from

a signal, and nut a token of hostility.

I'raga, who was the only person allowed lo
come on board, was notified that, if Ihn Ja

the ships with lire usual cordon of bjuts, jl
would lead to very seiious consequences A

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

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

The Times of ihe 8th also publishes des
palches from Com. 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.

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. Cut the idea lhat the Packet

a Treasurer should keep his accounts in
such a manner that he could tell precisely
what amount of County or State funds he
