WROiq EV:IROPE,
Arrival of the Caledonia.
num imr. PUILA. PANNIMINANIAN.
• ONE WEEK, LATER.
ST. Joni's, Aug. 81-8, A. M.
The Caledonia, Capt. Leitch, arrived off,
Halifax at 1 o'clock yesterday morning,
in about eleven and a half days from Liv.;
erpool, bringing papers to the 18th inst.
She would leave at 3 a. in.,for Boston.
The Caledonia passed the Europa, for
Liverpool, in the channel.
GREAT BRITAIN.
In England, local politics were never in
abeyance more than at this moment, the
interest of the royal visit to Ireland having
mind away, The London journals find
the greatest difficulty in filling their col
umns with any attractive matter.
The most actiliiiarvest operations are
going torward in all parts of the . country.
In the neighborhood of Liverpool a good
deal of rain, has fallen, but in the South
em parts of England the weather has been
very fine, so that the labors of the hus
bandman had not been sensibly interrup
ted, and upon the whole there is every,ap.
pearance that the harvest will be abund
ant. The weather in Ireland, however,
has undergone a very unfavorable change.
In the neighborhood of Dublin, thricord
fields have suffered greatly from the ex
cessive rains, and we regret to say that,
in the worst districts of the south there
are sign s
_of • the potato disease reappear
ing. However, from the very imperfect
reports hitherto brought under our notice,
we do not believe that the mischief ex
tends beyond a few localities.
. The Queen's visit to Ireland has termi
nated with the same enthusiastic delight
with which it commenced. Her Majesty,
after visiting the Duke of Keister, at Car
ton, on the 10th inst., returned to Dublin,
hnd then proceeded to Kingston, where
she embarked in the evening. The fare.
well of the Dublin folks seems to have been
of a most animated and chivalrous char
acter, the Queen acknowledging the testi
monials. of loyalty expressed by the Mul
titudes which witnessed her embarkation
with more than accustomed warmth.
She waved her handkerchief, in token
of the satisfaction she experienced, and a
gain and again was the royal standard
lowered, as the signal of her acknowledge
meat of the parting reception she had ex
, perienced. The royal entry into Gies
-*--cfluw took place on Tuesday. The au.
, .
°es presented the accustomed ad
dress, and the Scotch showing as much
enthusiasm as the Irish.
FRANCE.
At length, after a sittting of eighteen
months, only interrupted by the brief in
tervals occupied in the elections, the Leg
islative Assembly of France has adjourned
to the Ist of October next.
At the last sitting but one, during an in
cidental discussion arising out of an appli
cation to prosecute two representatives for
seditious libels published in the province,
an'elderly member, M. Bastier, in a per
sonal altercation, called Pierre Bonaparte
an imbecile, upon which the. President's
cousin stru ck M. Bastier a blow in the face.
A violent conversation ensued and M. Du
pin order:al them into custody.
This great scandal upon an assembly
which, it was hoped, would exhibit an ex
ample of moderation to the world, has ex
cited a great sensation, and Pierre Bona
parte is to be tried before the ordinary tri
bunals for the offence. •
The President has returned to Paris af
ter a visit to Rouen and Havre. An in
disposition of a somewhat cholerian char
acter
threw some gloom over the termina
tion of the visit at Havre, but his recep
tionappears to have been very favorable,
sharing, however, the general populous
applause, in that district, with M. Thiers
and Gen. Changarnier.
Paris and the surrounding districts, in
conformity with the new law, has been re
lieved from the martial law, and tranquili
ty has bean perfectly maintained during
the week.
The price of bread in Paris is rather on
the rise, notwithstanding the reported har
'; vest.
Tho French Government, it is said, have
received information that Austria had ap
plied to Bavaria for military assistance, &
that the latter power was about to send 60,-
000 troops to protect the Austrian capital.
The modification of the Ministry was
thought likely by the retirement of Messrs.
Dufaure and Odillon Barrot.
The troops left at Rome by Gen. Oudi.
not have exibited strong feelings of dissat
isfaction at not being permitted to return to
France; the object of the expedition hav
ing been accomplished, they deem it not
only an act of injustice, but of cruelty, to
detain them any longer from their families
and friends.
A letter received in Paris from Vienna
states that the Government had.resolved
to negotiate with the Hungarians.
AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
The accounts from Vienna are of maao
interest, tho entrance of the Hungarians
from Comorn into Raab is' fully confirmed,
and they only differ as to the booty which
was secured an or near Raab by the Mag.
yam. The greatest alarm was excited m
Vienna and Presburg by the news ofthe
abvance of the Hungarians whore outposts
are'said to lane appeamd.
In Weisselberg all the troops which
could possibly be spared from Vienna were
immediately despatched by. railway to
Presburg, and it is said that many of the
soldiers e who were raw recruits, left with
,very great discouragement and reluctance
to march.

The intelligence by the Canada con
firms the, victories by the Hungarians, and
even brings rumors of other important suc
cesses. We think that now the ultimate
triumph of the Majjars is rendered certain.
In this aspect of affairs, we trust that our
Government will lose no time in recogni
zing the independenceof Hungary. Some,
of our cotemporariep, who ought to kno‘v,
•
intimate that at present them is no chance
'of this; but we indulge the hope that the
administration will reconsider the subject.
We know it may be said that the Hunga
rians• have not yet obtained their indepen
dence; but in this opinion we cannot a
gree. They have always been independ
ent, and so conceded to be, even by Aug.
trim; That they have deposed their old
race of monarchs, is no more than what
they had a right to do, and - our govern
ment is bound to recognize this act, just
as much as the overthrow of the Orleans
dynasty, and the foundation of the French
Republic. For a whole year the Hunga
rians have had, not only this government
"dejlire," but ono also "de facto." What
more can be required, unless we wait for
Austria herself to acknowledge Hungary?
We are satisfied, Trom the public opinion
throughout the United States, that the rec
ognition of Hungary, and the appointment
of a minister, would receive the almost u
nanimous approval of our people.
There never, perhaps, was an opportu
nity presented to the United States to do
so much for the progress of real liberty,
in Europe, as now. The English people
are already anxious to acknowledge Hun
gary, partly from a noble sympathy, and
partly also Om considerations ofcom
mercial policy : it is only the ministry
which hesitates. If,Aewever, we wpm to
recognize the goventnent of-Kossuth, and
despatch a minister termake a commercial
treaty, by which, in exchange for our
manufactures, we would agree to take the
alarm, and eager to secure the market for
their own people, would imitate our exam
ple immediately, or, if they did not, would
be forced by popular sentiment to make
room for a ministry that would. the trade
of Hungary would be more valuable to
Great Britain than the United States, and
our great rival would never be willing to
see us appropriate it, without an effort to
have a share.
Our government runs no danger of a
war, as some intimate, by recognizin.,
Hungary. We acknowledged the South
American States, and we
. acknowledged
Greece, yet were not involved in war with
Spain or Turkey. Neither Russia nor
Austria would venture to take offence.—
And even ifthey did, what then? On land
they would not think of attacking us, and
at sea we should soon conquer them.—
War, therefore, would be a mere cessation
of diplomatic hostilities. Now, with na
tions that commit such atrocities is it not a
disgrace to have diplomatic intercourse.

The Red River Trade- 7 1ludson Bay Company.
The Red River traders, who have been
with us a fernignt, are preparing to de
, part for their northern
s homes. As we
write, a group of them before our door
are surrounding some half dozen of their
irordeEs carts, laden with stoves, hollow
ware, dry goodEt and groceries, purchased
of our St. Paul tradesmen, while others
are (hiving theirsingly harnessed oxen up
the hill, dragging huge loads of the same
commoeities, procured below, and just
landed by the Senator and highland Mary.
The Caravan will set out in a day or two
on their journey of 000 or 8000 miles a
cross a savage wilderness. There, amid
their ice-bound fastness and cheerless
plains of snow, these hardy hunters will
renew the capture of the buffalo, the elk,
the moose and the lynx,until spring again
invites them on their journey hither, where
a sure reward will await them for their
toil. Singular people? More singular
country, that nurtures upon its bosom so
many strange varieties of children ; for be
it remembered, a large proportion of these
stawlart northmen are our fellow citizens,
living within the borders of Minnesota,
and under the protecting wings of the A
merican eagle. Yet arc not the manners
and customs of the inhabitantsofthe great.
est extremes on earth, more striking than
are the tastes and habits of this people,
when compared with those who dwell in
the "old settlements" of the United States.
We have not space to enter intoa histor
yof that monster corporation, the Hudson's
Bay Company—second only as an engine
of British oppression and cruelty to the
East India Company in its -palmiest days
—but will merely refer to what it is now
doing on the northern frontier of our Ter
itory. The town of Pembina, situated on
Red River, a short distance this side the
British line, contains 630 inhabitants.—
Of these, 204 are males, and 342 females-
The men follow the chase, and engage in
the persuits of grazing and agriculture,
and the , woman, beside attending to
usuel domestic avocations, manufacture
most of the wollen and linnen fabrics ne
cessary to clothe their families. They
are a hardy, brave industrious and moral
frontier people. • But how are they treated
by their assumed lords and masters on the
the other side of the line? Let any of
them engage in the traffic of furs with the
Indians, and theyaredragged before Judge
Thorn,,and fined £l,OOO sterling. Their
minions do not stop to search for the 49th
paralell, when on the track of some • poor
trader,
who has bought of an Indian a fox
or a lynx skin. No difference to them
whether he is on British or American
ground. Thanks to Mr. Kittson, the
"Yankee Trader," as the Bay Company's
agents call him; he has fully eitablished
his claim at Pembina, and the rich packet
ges of furs he brought in this season abun
dantly proves that he is fully able to main
taiti it. •
We have a narrative .drawn up by one
of our suffering citizens, which states that
in the Spring of 1844 ho was engaged in
i‘wmww'wm‘rmw

Florida—The Indians.
From thotopublic, August 29
The following extracts from a letter of
Lieutenant Commanding G. W. Totten,
dated Pensacola, August 19, throw much
light on `the condition of Florida, and on
tho course adonted by the Government in
relation to the hostile Indians:
"The Indians have . not peen seen since
the affair at Indian River, Pease creek,
ad a Whiddon's all of which outrages are
supposed to have been committed by the
same party of four• Indians. It has not
been ascertained whether it is considered
by the Indians as an affair of the "nation".
"Three attempts have been made by
Captain Casey, of the Commissary De
partment, (and who is, perhaps, better
known to the Indians than any other offi
cer of the army,) to have talk with Billy
"Bowlegs." At the first and third rendez
vous the Indian failed to make his appear
ance. Captain Casey, whose health is
very delicate, on his way to the second,
was seized with a severe hemorrhage of
the lungs, and was constrained to return
to Fort Brook. 'Billy' sent word after
wards, that he had waited for him eight
days. There were, in addition to the two
regular companies stationed there, two
companies of volunteers
,at Fort Brook.
"The first and pripciple ,object sought
by the commandingofficer at Tampa is to
obtain an interview!with''Billy Bowlegs,'
and for this he hati applied to the proper
source for a steadier of light draft of wa
ter, with which to ascend the Caloosa riv.
or.
"The white settlers in the neighbbrhood
have moved into 'Fort Brook,' and appear
to have been quite uneasy as to their.safe
ty. The settlers at•Maritec river are for
tifying themselves."
The Foreign News.
We publish on our first page the details
ofthe foreignadvices by the Caladonia..—
The most important feature' is the intelli
gence from Hungary, where, notwithstand
ing the immense force brought into the
field by the allied armies, the patriotic
Hungarians are still gaining important
advantages capturing here and there im
mense quantities of amunition and arms,
and defeating by the boldness of their
movements the skill and strategy of the
opposing commanders. In a struggle so
unequel, however' we must not expect
uniform success, or that the Hungarians
will prove victorious in every encounter;
and therefore we anticipate no disastrous
influence on the general resultofthe strug
gle,.even should the report prove true that
Bern had sustained a defeat in a battle
with the Russians in Schassbutg, losing
one thousand men, five hundred prisoners,.
and a number of field pieces. The Hun
garians have accomplished wonders, since
the commencement of the conflict, and no
check or defeat will overcome them. To
be conquered they must be annihilated.
The intelligence from other parts of
Europe, though interesting is important.—
In a commercial point of view, also, it
does not difrer from.the last arrival. he
markets were well supplied, and prices,
particular for breadstuflii, drooping, while
the promiserofanabundant harvest, leaves
the producers of this country little to ex
pect for the coming year, from the Eng
lish market.
We shall - look to the next arrival for
more important and decisive intelligence
from Hungary. The struggle there is
one of life and death: and from the vigor
with which the contest...has been conduc
ted, on both sides, we look for its speedy
conclusion.—Daily
Tituzu.—Truth is the foundatiop of
virtue. An habitual regard for it is abso
lutely necessary. He who walks by the
light of it has the advantage of the midday
sun ;he who would spurn it goes forth a
mid clouds and darkness. There is no
way in which a man strengthens his own
judgement and acquires respect in society
so surely, as by a scrupulous regard to
truth. The course of such an individual
is right and straight on. He is no change
ling, saying one thing to-day and another
to-morrow. Truth to him is like'a moun
tain landmark to the pilot; he fixes his eye
upon a point that does not move and he en
teres the harbor in safety. On the con
trary, one who despises truth and loves
falsehood, is like a pilot who takes a piece
of drift wood for his landmark, which
changes with every changeing wave. On
this he fixes his attention, and being insen
sibly led from his course, strikes upon
some hidden • reef, and sinks to rise no
more. Truth brings success; falsehood
result in ruin and contempt.—Dr. CUAN

Cincinnati Commercial,
Tina Rio GIIANDE.—Tho presence and
enterprise of the people of the • United
States in thovalley of the Rio Grande are
already beginning to manifest .their ap
propriate, fruits. The Brownsville (Tim
m) Flag gives gratifying evidence of pro
gress on the Rio Grande. One year ago
Browniville was scarcely thought of, and
yet at the' ate election four hundred votes
were polled in the town and eight hundred
in the country, being a total of 1200 votes.
A government barge recently ascended
the river to Eagle nisi, 75 miles above
Presidio and 170 above Laredo. In speak
ing of ' this circumstance, the Flag re
marks that "the wealth of the Rio Grande
is as yet almost unknown. What a pros,
poet then is opened to us! Mr. Love, com
mander of the barge, says that he"Orould
stake his life and reputation that the river
will be navigable for 200 miles from its
mouth when the impediments at Pre:sidie
are removed, and that can readily be done
at a trifling expense.
The progress of Brownsville has had
some effect upon Mata Floras. Several
spacious brick buildings are going up there',
and 'a general system otrepai ring is going
on throughout the city. •
THE FIVE. PONITS AT ; N, Ew Yonn.—

white prostitutes in a basement in a rear
building, and in another place, known as
"23," are eighty; at . Nos. 10 and 12 Mul

and some rooms are occupied by eight &
ten persons—about 800 persons residing
upon two lots, rind. at No. 95 Cross street,
there are fifty-two mate inmates, seventy

five children. What a pictUre of depravi
ty and poverty to be found in the heart of
a Christian and wealthy city! And these
are but part of the sad reality.

The New Orleans papers bring us a
small volume of letters, received in that
city by the Adams Gray, from Havannah
in relation to the abduction ofßey. They
comprise, Rey's letters to the American
I Consul acknowledging his abduction, and
claiming the protection of the U. S. grov
ernment—the correspondence between the
Captain General of Cuba and the Consul,
and also Rey's declaration before the Cap
tain General and several soldiers, made
on the oth of August, nine days after
writing to the American Consul, saying
that he lett New Orleans, voluntarily, and
and only declared to the contrary in a fit
of terror and nervousness. The docu
ments are contradictory, and the papers
are filled with comments on the subject.—
It would soem that Rey is profoundly ig
norent, or was in the most abject fear at the
time of making these
. declarations. One of
his leuess is dated on board of the "Terri
ble,"another on board the "Pinicle," when
ho was actually on board the "Andrew
Ring." These statements were first pub
lished in the Crescent, and the Picayune
broadly charges that they were got up in
Havannah for publication in New
,Orleans
in the justification of the Spanish Consul.
As we shall soon have Rey's affidavit be
fore the proper authorities in, relation to
the affair, taken under the protection of
Government, we do not care to burden our
columns with these Spanish Documents....•

111 reference to the American prisoners,
confined at Jalappa, on whose behalf we
have lately seen so much newspapaper
sympathy, the editor of the New Orleans
Bulletin, a Whig paper, that bears Mr.
Clifford, our Minister in Mexido, no love,
says :—Pcintsylvanian.
If there are any Americans in prison at
Jalappa, it is our belief that they are just
where they ought to be. During the ar
mistice, desertions from the ranks were
frequent. At one time we recollect, that
some 50 or 60 dragoons deserted '`in one
night in the city of Mexico, taking their
horses, arms and equipments with them ;'
and desertions at Peubla, Perote, Jalappa,
and every other post, were of a frequent
occurrence. The object of these miscre
ants was the plunder of the rich trains
that were passing up and down the roads.
When the American army len, every A
merican true to his flag left also ; even
non combatants, from prudential consider
&ions, deemed it advisable to leave the
country for a time, and if there were any
Americans remaining in the country, they
were deserters. Detachments of troops
were frequently sent in persuit of these
renegades, who would most assuredly
have been shot had they been captured :
and if these same fellows are suffering
imprisonment in a Mexican jail, they are
only receiving their desserts; for by their
own acts they divested themselves of all
the rights of American citizenship.
THE HAOIT OF READING.—The young
slould always cultivate a habitof reading,
for it may be to them, not only the means
of information, but Ifie perennial source of,
many of the finest enjoyments of life.—
They. who make good books their constant
companions, will never want good and
faithful friends in their prosperous days,
or tbdte who will sympathise in the sea
son of reverse. There can be no blank
in the livei-of those persons, who, from
active love, hiild daily fellowship with the
wisest and best of their race. We think
we could hardly be tempted to exchange
our habit of reading for any other friend
it may be our fortune to find on earth.--
And we are sure that any who will make
this habit a friend, will ever esteem it a
rnong the wisest steps of their lives and so
we counsel the young, from our own ex
perience, among all their gettings in this
world, to getting the habit,the love of rea
ding—and always. to have at hand a good
book with which to fill op every leisure
hour. In this way they may come to
know that the gems of life are found in
waste places. •
HORRIBLE CAGE.---WO heard ofa shock
ing event yesterday, which took place on
the previous day in Reserve Township and
which, though' we did not learn the names
of the parties concerned, we can vouch for
-it being true, having it from the best au
thority;
It seems that a woman died in that town
ship a few days ago, leaving , a little child
of between two and three years old behind
her, and ere her body was hardly cold,
her husband went off with anothdr woman
leaving the poor little innocent tied in a
chair in the empty house. For two days
and nights it had no food, until a neighbor
happening to pass by, heard its feeble
groans, and opening the door, found it al
most at the point of death from starvation
and exhaUstiun. He kindly ministered
to its wants, and the poor little thing is
now doing well.
We have seldom heard of a more horri

he so well de.serves.—Piasburgh Gazelle.
