in her favor for the first time ' • bat there will a powerful opposition made to it at present, should King William of Prussia have taken such a step at the late convention. The population of the kingdom was 4,650,- 000 in round numbers at the last census. Of this aggregate the government of Agustovo, in the North, contained 622,195; Flock, in the South, 547,455; Warsaw, in the West, 1,561,485; Radom, in the centre, 927,302; and Lublin, in in the East, 1,018,701. Independent of these, however, attempts have been made, with some degree of success, to excite insurrection in the Russian-Polish governments of Volhynia, Pll• delis, Lithuania, &a, the effect of which must be to retard, if not.prevent, the arrival of re inforcements from St. Petersburg. Indeed, it is announced that a state of siege has been de clared in five of. those provinces covering an area of fully 31,000 square miles, and it is ex pected that martial law will shortly be declared in all the residue. The mode of carrying on the contest by the patriots is essentially different from that adop ted by them in 1830-1. It resembles, in a good degree, the guerilla system adopted in certain of our Southern border States. The imperial ists have possession of the principal cities and other strongholds; but whenever they make their appearance in the rural districts they are assailed by an unseen foe, who knows every foot of the country, and takes advantage of every strip of wood or acre of morass. If de feated the Poles retire, and perhaps march upon another detachment to achieve a victory by a sudden surprise. Their valor is beyond all praise, as has been shown by three most salt= guinary wars. Though belonging to the same race as the Western Romans, and speaking a dialect of the same language, no two peoples hate each other more bitterly. Instances have occurred where wounded foes on the field pro longed the contest by biting each other nail death put an end to one of the combetants..— The persistent attempts made to force the Greek creed and ritual upon the Poles, who are mainly Roman Catholics, have done much to embitter this national animosity. The favorite, and indeed the only, weapon accessible to the patriots, is the scythe. This instrument, when fastened to the handle, is two edged and nearly straight. At a single stroke it will sever the lance of the Cossack or make his head roll in the dust. In the war of 1830 it struck terror into the enemy, and ap pears to do equally efficient service at present. Men thus armed require a good deal of " el bow room ;" hence the ranks are thinner and - the enemy's shot is less fatal than when the ordinary weapons are wifilded. But necessity has taught them the use of another equally outlandish arm—i. e., wooden guns. It is a well known fact that solid logs of timber are bored and made into guns, which do execution for half a dozen shots. The supply of this ar tillery is practically boundless. Iron and lead are obtained in the hilly districts of the South; and it is suspected that magazines of powder !have been laid up for some time, in view of a probable outbreak. But much reliance is placed upon capturing supplies from the ene my. The Central Committee, in one of their late addresses, make use of the following saucy , language.: "Every one who has a hand can grasp a stick ; every one who wields a stick may conquer a musket !" And to tell the truth, events have in some measure justified the use of this defiant style. General Langiewicz, whose very_ name is hoot, still holds his own in the Southeastern part of Lublin. In Radom Kurowski is repor ted to have resigned after his late defeat.— With the assumption of the command by Gen. Mieroslawski and the anticipated arrival of Dembinski and Klapka—all of whom took part in the ware of 1848—there will probably be a complete reorganization of the armies ; and the war may assume a new and much more intelli gible.aspect than it has hitherto done. Proper names in Poland are for the most part such unpronounceable-combinations of "twelve con sonants a piece," that not a few are hindered from giving due attention to the desperate struggle now going on in that country.—.Y.

And also a time for the meeting of said convention. By order of the Chairman. FRANK Baum Secretary. Municipal Elections. The charter election which occurred in Reading on Friday last,, resulted in the suc cess of the entire Democratic ticket by 250 majority. This is a Democratic gain of 510. In the borough of Carlisle, on the same day, the Democratic Chief Burgess and town Coun cil were carried by from 70 to 100 majority. This borough has heretofore been Republican, and therefore gin election shows another large Democratic gain. From York also we have cheering news. There, as elsewhere, the march of Democracy is onward, and shows plainly that the people have determined to put down the destructives who have too long mis governed the country, and replace power in the hands of honest and competent men. The result in York is contained in the following letter : EDITOBJ PATRIOT AND UNION :—The election of yesterday resalted in an unprecedented You, March 21, 1863. Democratic victory. David Small, the Demo 'ratio candidate for Burgess, is re-elected by one hundred and six majority, against fifty-nine last year. The Democratic candidate for borough Constable, which has recently been made an elective office, is also elected by a ma jority of fifty-nine, and Democratic Council men have been elected in three out of five wards ; the whole exhibiting largely increased Democratic majorities. The election was warmly contested, and every conceivable means resorted to by the Nigger-heads to carry the Borough, and we may add, they were quite sanguine of success. "But alas ! how futile are human hopes." The Democracy here are jubilant over the etarns from your city, which have just cached us. K. Tat GOTHENXIINT TEMPTING THE PEOPLII.-60TeTti meats or individuals have no moral right to tempt those over whom they wield authority, and from whom they expect obedience. Laws were made for evil doers; and when the government; from policy, from fear or imbe cility, we we not which, fails to enforce much laws, those representing that government tempt these having an interest Wits safety to resort to extreme measures for its protection. Thus, for instance, if a nuisance exists in any community, it is the duly of the authori ties to remove the same, before popular outbreak is provoked, before passion and riot are tempted to run wild with resentment and indignation. We insistupon it, that such a nuisance exists in this community, and that by its toleration the people are daily tempted to the violation of the laws of order and peace. That nuisance is in the snape of a newspaper, appearing every morning, and with its flaming title of tory organ insult ing all who cling to the principles of patriotism, or violating all that is dear to the lovers of the The authorities who take cognisance of this nuisance, will some day have a fearful responsibility to answer, unless they move in a manner that will speedily secure its abatement. While one class of men are making daily and hourlysacrifices to support the government— while families are filled with sorrow—while happy wives _are suddenly made widows—helpless children orphaned —in this community we have a newspaper, we have men who write for and encourage that newspaper, de liberately to assist in the overthrow of the government for which all the manatee we have recounted are made. Is not this tempting-the people to outbreak?— Are not the authorities inviting loyal men to indignant resentment, every day that that damnable sheet is al lowed to appear? These are questions which the gov ernment must sooner or later answer, and it were better that the answer was made now, when the only remedy required is the suppression of a nuisance, and not the 'repairing of damages that might result from popular outbreak against this newspaper nuisance. The people of Harrisburg are loyal. The masses of this city have contributed as much to the support of the government and the encouragement of this struggle for its - preservation, as the people of any. other locality. Ent to anima dully to the insults and magrepresenta. Hon of traitors—to have the laws violated before our eves, while wounded soldiers, maimed in the defence of those laws, hobble through our streets-1s asking too much of loyal men. We demand, then, that all men should be made to feel the rigor of that law, as well as those who stand up with brands and weapons in their hands, to oppose the law, as those who howl through the streets of Harrisburg, pledging themselves; to use petty official power, if vested with it, to embarrass the national authorities in their efforts to gather strength' to put down rebellion. We demand that the liberty of the press be not degraded to a licentiousness, more fearful than that which justifies the assassination of innocent men, that treason may triumph. We demand that the hirelings who pollute the freedom of speech, by attacks on the constituted authorities purposely to give aid to traitor; be at once silenced. We demand that all traitors be treated alike. We demand that the government no longer tempt loyal men, by refusing or neglecting to crush the secret and the cowardly trai tor. A free people, anxious to enforce the law and sup port the legal authorities, have a right to demand this, and the government that respects itself, will not refuel to respond in the right manner.—Teiegraph, March 19, We print the above article as a warning foot the present and a memorandum for the future. It appears in the 'organ of the administration party, which is published in the Capital of the great State of Pennsylvania ; it speaks the sen timents of those in power at Washington, and marks the fearful extent already attained by men conspiring against the Constitution of our fa thers and the republican liberties which have been our boast in the past, and are our only hope for the future. Were it not that this signi ficant article,in its haughty demands for the sup pression of free speech and free press, embodies the purposes of the would-be tyrants, and real enemies of our noble government, we should treat its menaces as the empty vaporings of an alien to our soil who learned from Hessian teachers that patriotism is purchaseable, and • I._asiesnot • • • came to this land to assist George 'IL of En gland in his efforts to deprive our forefathers of the right to speak and publish their opinions on public affairs, stands alone in his sympa thetic support of venal patriotism and Presi dential usurpation, but we find ourselves com pelled to ascribe an importance to this lawless recommendation of the Harrisburg -Telegraph which must grieve all true friends of liberty. and law. It is asserted that the publication of the PAT RIOT AND UNION is a standing temptation to the loyal men of Harrisburg to defy the laws,and by di popular outbreak" suppress the "nuisance." It is assumed that we are traitors ; it is as sumed that the government should suppress us as a nuisance. Now who gave the corrupt • plunderers of the publio moneys the right to decide who is loyal, or who disloyal? Whence comes the authority of the speculators. in the blood of our fellow-citizens to decree the ma jority of the men of the North outside of the law, and without the rights of free American citizens? Where is the maxim to be found that none can be true friends of our country but those who are eating at Lincoln's table, and waxing fat on the blood of thousands, thus far uselessly spilt, in a war which they have lyinely pretended was to be for the Union, the Constitution, and the enforcement of the laws ? The insolence and presumption of the Tele graph seems to us most extraordinary, when we remember how often we have expostulated with indignant men who desired to raze their publication office from roof to cellar, how we have besought them to spare its Hessian pro prietor from a bath in the river, and how we have oft and.again inculcated, through our col umns, strict obedience to the laws, and quiet endurance of insults and of outrages. We have gone further. When the Constitution has been trodden under foot, and our dearest rights in vaded, when each day it became more and more apparent that the administration was engaged in forging chains to bind us hand and foot; when sheets like the Telegraph have been urging the adoption of measures which are false to the Union and treasonable to the Constitution, we have yet bidden our readers to be of good cheer, for through the ballot-box we could peacefally hurl these usurpers from their places, re establish the Constitution in its supremacy, and finally re-cement the Union in its pristine glory. Although the public mind could now readily be fanned into such a blaze as would soon consume these traitors to the Constitution and the country, we have counselled patience and moderation, merely noting day by day the usurpations of the Ex ecutive, and the unconstitutional laws of Con gress, so that in the good time for which we pray, the people may right these wrongs, and re-establish our free Confederate Republic. Even the invasion of the rights of the States and the insults put upon our grand old Coin monwealth have been met only by humble re monstrances. We have abstained thus far from advising Pennsylvania to assert her sovereign ty, and prevent, by force of arms if need be, the successful accomplishment of these three fun damental crimes : 1. The Conscription bill; 2. The bill of Indemnity ; 3. The Bank bill. • By the Conscription bill the States are to be deprived of their militia, contrary to the Constitution of the United States and that of the State of Pennsylvtutia, thus giving the SWORD to the President. By the Bank bill the State Banks are to be taxed out of existence, and thus, as by other means, the plume is to be given to the Presi dent. By the Indemnity bill all cases of assumed disloyalty are to be taken from the State courts, and carried to the United States courts, where, of amide, the minions of tyranny, even if convicted of unwarrantable arrests, may be pardoned by the Federal Executive. Thus the State soldiers, the State moneys, and the protection of the State laws are to be taken from us. It is a formidable indictment against usurpation which we bring, and which might be presented ten times more formidably, but we have not been and are net yet "tempted" to advise violent resistance. Although we are sure the• people would, as ever, win in the contest against traitors to the Constitution and the violators of their rights, yet it is so sad an alternative that nothing but the most extreme necessity would induce us to favor the inaugu ration of those horrible scenes that wait upon civil war. It is not for law-abiding Democrats, unless when goaded to madness, and deprived of the constitutional remedy of the ballot-box, with its concomitants of free speech and free press, to take arms in forcible defence of their liber ties. But let the Telegraph exhort to such vio lent and criminal measures as the suppression of this journal, let it write what treason it may-; let it inculcate whatever unpatriotic dogmas it may choose, we shall with pity and In sadness look on while an organ of the party in power is corrupting the minds of its readers in their views of what are law and freedom, and the true interest and policy of Union-loving, patriotic citizens of a free republic. Mean while, once for all and seriously, we tell the Telegraph and its masters that when they strike at the liberties of the Democrats of Pennsylva 'amnia, represented by the free publication of this paper, we will not answer for the result. So long as we are permitted a free press, free speech, and the ballot, which * * * * lightly falls As snow flakes fall upon the sod; But execute a freeman's will, As lightning does the will of God, we shall labor on in the hope of a glorious dawning, when American citizens shall peace fully regain all their rights and liberties. But should force be brought to bear upon us, and thousands, nay the whole nation, be stricken in our person, we warn the Telegraph, solemnly that its publisher had better return to Hesse Darmstadt ) and all affiliated with that estab lishment care for their persons and property in time. The City Election. Section four of the - act of incorporation prescribes, " That the freemen of the city of Harrisburg, citizens of this State or of the United States, who have resided within limits of the said city, at least thirty days preceding the election, and at least ten days preceding such election in the ward wherein they offer to vote, and within one year pre ;•..enea:Stectimai,...paid a cla r tax &o. of the city of Harrisburg is entitled to a vote. It is also provided in the act of incorporation that, after the election of assessors, " the County Commissioners shall make out their precepts and forward the same to the several assessors, as in other eases," &e. Here, then, we have the "law and the prophets," whereby to determine whether we, the Democracy of the city of Harrisburg, have achieved a vic tory or not. At any general election, for Na tional or State officers, for President or Gov ernor, for Congress or the Legislature,the whole white people vote, and the result is a test of pub lic opinion. It is different under our municipal law,where there is no extra assessment ten ddys prior to the election. In our local elections the whole people do not vote. * The County Commis sioners, who furnish the list of taxables to the assessors, may, through fraud or negligence, furnish an imperfect list, and the assessors themselves, through fraud or carelessness, may neglect to perfect them. In this case many persona, legal voters, are entirely out off and debarred the privilege of voting. At the re cent election more than 200 citizens were thus cut off, and ninety-nine of each hundred were Democrats. This accounts for the meagreness of our majority. Public opinion at the seat of government of the State has not changed—it was simply prevented by law, by fraud, by negligence of duty, from expressing itself. The moneyed and incorporated opposition which we encountered in this city was a tre mendous opposition. Yet.we overcame it, and the result is not to be estimated so much by the figures as by the circumstances. Forty-two majority now against 268 majority last Jail may seem, to those who are not familiar with our local laws and circumstances, as almost a defeat. But it is not so. The Democratic party is stronger in Harrisburg to-day than it was last fall, and the next general election will show it. The Abolitionists themselves are conscious of the fact, and, while trying to make the most of the election of Friday, know as well as we do that it was fatal to them. They did not dare meet us upon a purely po litical issue. They entrapped a man profes sedly belonging to our party as their candi date—a many of very moderate ability but of very large professions of Unionism, and they made the issue—their candidate being by trade a boat builder—a Working Man's issue. The speculators upon the blood of the country—the men who had amassed wealth by huge con tracts in horse flesh and otherwise, contribu ted largely to a corruption fund which was used without stint to seduce Democrats from their integrity. Every appliance which de praved natures and instincts, stimulated by gold dishonestly acquired, could suggest, was used to defeat us, but in vain. We triumphed over usurpation and despotism—we beat down the National and State administrations—we circumvented the money-changers and corrup tionists—we defeated every plot and triumphed over every artifice. If this is not viotory, we know not what vic tory is. We look upon the election of General lloutufort to the Mayoralty of the oily of liar risburg as no ordinary triumph. Under the circumstances it is an achievement of which we are proud—a crushing defeat of the Aboli tion oligarchy. At the next general election the city of Harrisburg will roll up a majority of three hundred against the Abolition crew who, under the leadership of Lincoln, are en deavoring to crush . the Constitution and tram ple upon the liberties of the people. General News Major General B. V. Sumner died at the resi dence of his son-in-law, at Syracuse, New York, on the 21st instant, of congestion of the. lungs. At Fortress Monroe, on Saturday, the wind was blowing heavily from the north east, with rain, and disasters from the storm reported.— A foot of snow had fallen. From the Army of the Cumberland, General Rosecrans's department, we have the following: MURFREESBORO', March 20. To Gen. ITalleck, General-in- Cnief: General Reynolds reports from Gen. Hall's brigade, on a scout near Milton, on the road to Liberty, that he was attacked this morning by Morgan and Breckenridge'e cavalry, about 8,000 or 10,000 strong, and, after a few hour's fight, we whipped them, and drove them, with a loss to us of 17 killed and 31 wounded, inclu ding one captain. The rebel loss was 30 or 40 killed, including three commissioned officers, 140 wounded, and 12 prisoners, including three commissioned officers. Signed, W. S. RosucuANs, Maj. Gen. The rebel steamer Cuba arrived at Havana, from the coast of Florida, on the 14th, with 600 bales of cotton. The Confederate privateer Retribution has been condemned at Nassau, as unseaworthy. The Port Royal New South of the 14th says that Jacksonville, Florida, was taken by the colored brigade on the 10th, and that the ne groes behaved with propriety, and none of them were injured. On the 11th Col. Montgomery, with 200 men, had a sharp skirmish three miles from Jacksonville. Baldwin, the junction of the Jacksonville and Tallahassee and the Cedar Keys railroad, is supposed to be the point ar rived at by the expedition. This is the Greeley- Higgenson-Hunter expedition, of which some notice was taken a week or two ago. DRAFTING THE NEGROBS—General Hunter hse issued a formal order, dated March 5, draft ing all the able bodied male negroes within the lines of his military department into the ser vice of the United States government. Such as are already enrolled, or are employed as ser vants, or in the department, are ex empt; but all others between eighteen and fifty years of age are compelled to don Uncle Sam's uniform and shoulder a. musket to fight the con federates. But General Hunter shows that even he has learned some little wisdom by his past experiences, as the order distinctly an nounces that the negroes are not to fight side by aide with the white soldiers in the field, but are to be used for garrison and guard duty. They will be employed on the coast during the summer to occupy forts and ensure the safety of depots while the white soldiers push into the interior to the more healthy uplands. But th drafting of the negroes into the mil itary service of the government suggests one or two obvious reflections. In the first place, it is very clear that the"fiery zeal" of the blacks we have heard so much about from the radicals is a myth, and that they do not willingly join the army and endanger their lives, even when the freedom of themselves and their race is at stake. In the next place, it is equally clear that the enforced enrollment of the negroes will nullify whatever moral effect the emanci pation proclamation may have had among the slaves. The freedom that has been associated with no work has been very attractive to Cuf fee, but freedom and a forced conscription into the army is a very different matter, and here erftiaLaeireral Hunter „astijAplifi c -an-Asi lite doss verers as from the wrath to come.— World. FROM SAVANNAH.—A letter from Hilton Head (14th) to the Boston Toural says : "Last night three men, conscripts of the First Georgia, came to Fort Pulaski, having left Savannah the night previous. They re port about twenty-five thousand troops in and around Savannah, about two-thirds of them conscripts. They are kept on poor and in sufficient food, not more than four ounces of meat to a man. They represent the poor peo ple 'in great des'titution. The rich have all left the city. Last week Beauregard issued an order for the poor to leave, anticipating an attack, and probably wishing to have the poor obtain their subsistence in the country. The people refused to go. - "The deserters sayithat there is a growing Union sentiment among the suffering, starving inhabitants, and the en trance of our fleet will be hailed with joy, for it will keep them from starvation, which is haunting them in the future, and which now is dogging them from day . to day. There is but little, if any, doubt of the correctness of this repikt. All accounts ga to show that they are gradually nearing the inevitable end—starvation—that is, to the masses. " RULES REGULATING THE REDEMPTION OF MUTILATED CURRENCY.—As there seems to be some misapprehension in the public mind rela tive to the rules by which the United States Treasury Department is goverrusid in the re demption of mutilated treasury notes and postage currency, we publish the following : 1. Fragments of a note will not be redeemed unless it shall be clearly evident that they con stitute one-half or more of the original note; in which case • notes, however mutilated, will be redeemed in proportion to the whole note, reckoning by fifths. 2 Mutilations less than one-tenth will be disregarded, unless fraudulent ; but any mu tilation which destroys more than one-tenth the original note, will reduce the redemption value of the note by one-fifth its face value. 3. Mutilated notes presented for redemption must be in sums not less than three dollars the original full face value. HORRIBLE CRUELTY.---The monster hero of the following horrible act of fiendish cruelty, we are glad to say, is not an American. He belongs to that country that has shed so many crocodile tears over our ship-masters, slave owners, and other awful specimens of Ameri can barbarism.:—" The English papers are fond of talking of the cruelty of American shipmasters, but we have seen nothing to equal the case of a Cardiff captain, who, offen ded at one of his crew, ordered the carpenter to chop the poor fellow's finger off with a malet and chisel, and while this was being done, some of tivi fingers not being cut the same as the others, a eecond cut was made. His hands being bound up he had to take his turn at the pumps for twenty minutes at a time, and to do the work be was lashed by each arm to the handle of the pump, and by this means he had to keep on with the rest of the men." A Rug START IN MARRIED LIFE.—For a young gentleman just turned twenty-one, and a happy bridegroom at that, the Prince of Wales has fallen heir to an exceedingly pleasant for tune, immediate as well as prospective. Ac cording to the official report which has just been laid before Parlimentt the net proceeds of the revenues of his Duchy of Cornwall, now placed to his credit, after the accumulation of twenty-ono years, amount to no less a sum than £584,075—0r within a fraction of three millions of dollars in our currency. This sum Liao been invested as follows : In consolidated three-per-cent. annuities, £282,969 8s 11d., and in reduced three-per-cent. annuities, £289,106 4s. ld., making together a sum of £572,075 38„, of stock in those funds. There was also a sum of £12,000 reduced three per cent. annuities derived from another source, which the council directed to be transferred to . the Prince's trustees. With a clear capital of Three million dollars, and a regular annual in come of five hundred and fifty thousand dollars besides, the Prince and his wife may be said to have . a very fair start in this world. Kay WEST. —This little island is one of the countless low cays, or keys, that form the chain that encircles the southern extremity of the coast of Florida. It is one of the largest of them. It is of coral formation, and the white bottom imparts a peculiar tinge to .the water around it, softening the deep blue of the gulf and the ocean, to an inimitably beau tiful pale emerald. The name Key West, lam told, is a corruption by Anglo-Americans of the Spanish Cay nuessa (pronounced kay whesea) Isle of Bones. It is about five miles long, with an average breadth of one mile. It is about fifty miles west by north of Cape Sable, the southern ex tremity of Florida peninsula. The city is a straggling town of about 3,000 residents, not including the soldiers and sailors here on Government account. It is chiefly built of wood, painted white, and the better class of houses are surrounded by verandahs, and em bosomed by groves of cocoa nut trout. These give a peculiarly tropical appearance to the place, with their tall ringed trunks, shaped like a Dahlgren gun, their long fern-like stems and leaves clustering into a bunchy top, like the palm tree. These huge leaves or stems with leaves attached in two regular rows on the outer edges, range from three to fifteen and even eighteen feet in length. The nuts grow nestling near the heart of the cab bage-like top, at the junction of the stems with the trunk. EMBALMED BODIES.--SRMe time since, in clearing out the ruins of an old chapel in War wickshire, England, several lead coffins were exhumed, containing embalmed bodies which were buried more than two hundred years ago. The coffin which contained the body of Lady Audrey Leigh, buried in 1640, was opened, and the body found perfectly embalmed, and in entire preservation, her flesh quite plump, as if she were alive, her face very beautiful, her hands exceedingly small, and not 'wasted ; she was dressed in fine linen, trimmed all over in old point lace, and two rows of lace were laid flat across her forehead. She looked ex actly as if she was lying asleep, and seemed not more than sixteen or seventeen years old. Her beauty was very great ; even her eye lashes and eye-brows were quite perfect, and her eyes were _closed ; no part of her face or figure was at all fallen in.—English paper. Many a glorious speculation has failed for the same good reason that the old Texan ran ger gave when he was asked why he didn't buy land when it was dog cheap. "Well, I did come nigh on to taking eight thousand acres 'onest," said old Joe, mournfully. "You see, two of the boys came in one day from an Indian hunt, without any shoes, and offered me: their titles to the two leagues just below here for a pair of boots." "For a pair of boots I" we exclaimed. "Yes, for a pair of boots for each league. "But why on earth aid you not take it ?" They'd be worth one hundred thousand dollars to-day. Why didn't you give them the boots ?" "Jest because I didn't have the boots to give," said old Joe, as he took another chew of tobacco, quite as con tented as if he owned two hundred leagues of land. THE REBEL GENERAL STUART AND HIS SIIR HOUNDINGS.—A correspondent of the Fayette ville (N. C.) Observer, writing from Fredericks burg, says : " I was at General Stuart's head quarters to-day, and eaw him eating some hard crackers and fat bacon. General Stuart is a flashy, flashy, fancy, fast man, though by no means foppish, harum-scarum , or reckless. He is very free, sociable, agreeable and lively, and is a gentleman of high-toned accomplishments and rare genius. He is of more than ordinary complexion, wiihbright beaming eyes, of quick perception and deep expression. His dress and appearance correspond well with the rest of his character. He has several odd and fantastic characters with him and on his staff. His cook is a Frenchman from one of the cafe houses in Paris, a ventriloquist and a comical genius, and the principal business man in his office is a Prussian, a man of education, distinction and wit." RUSSIA. AND CIRCASSIA.—Advicee through Constantinople from Caucasus represents the Russians in that region as making gigantic ef forts to carry out their scheme of conquest among the independent races of that mountain district. The report is that the Russian army there numbers now not less than 180,000 troops, and it is now attempted to render their force quite independent of the military exigencies of the rest of the empire, se that it may be solely devoted to prosecuting the objects of the cam paign in the Caucadis. The Turkish politi ticians fear that this large force will speedily prove too much for the already overtaxed pow ers of the Caucasian 'tribes, and fears are be ginning to be entertained for the ultimate safety of the Turkish Asiatic provinces of Armenia and Kurdistan.

The Royal Mail steamship Europe, from Liverpool on the 7th inst., and Queenstown on the - evening of the Bth inst., arrived at this port at noon to-day. GREAT BRITAIN.—The English news is not of great importance, the all-absorbing topic being the entry of the Princess Alexandra into London, which took place on the day the Europa sailed. The preparations were on a magnificent scale, and a brilliant demonstra tion was anticipated. The Landon Times asserts that during the history of London she has never seen such a day, and the cause of the demonstration is the pride entertained by the nation for the moral eminence of the Royal family, raised by the virtues of its bead. The comments on American affairs in the En glish journals are unimportant. A letter from Washington published in the London Herald asserts that a society has been discovered, the members of which are sworn to kill President Lincoln. In the House of Commons, on the sth, an other debate took place on naval 'affairs. Mr. Cobden made a vigorous attack on the general policy of the Admiralty in maintaining obso lete vessels, after the valuable experience Which has been furnished by America in favor of iron-plated ships. He denounced the idea of maintaining seamen to man vessels which were utterly useless for warlike purposes. LordC. Puget and Sir John Pakington de fended their respective administrations of the admiralty affairs, and finally all the remainder of the navy votes were agreed to. A resolution in the House of Lbrds was moved regretting that a disturbance of the friendly relations between Brazil and the British government had occurred, and hoping that all honorable means would be taken to re store amity. The proceedings of the British Minister at Brazil were denounced. The King of Belgium has accepted the arbi tration of the difficulties between Brazil and England. It is stated that the English and French Governments were quite agreed as to the tenor of their notes to Russia regarding Poland. FRANCE.—The political news is unimpor tant. New abuttiistments.
