"Tim TURKISH AND RUSSIAN DIFFICULTY.
Pending the decision of the Emperor of,
Russia upon the appeal made to him res
pecting the extradition of the Hungarian
refugees, the English papers contain ma
ny reports respecting the probabilities Con
cerning the issue, but of course nothing
definite can be arrived at until the resolu
tion of the Emperor and his Imperial Coun
cil shall be make known. The reply of
the Emperor, which was expected with
the most intense anxiety, would, it was
thought, reach the Turkish ,Capital about
the 10th or 12th of October.
`Apprehending that the decision of the
Czar might be a declaration of war, the
Porto was exceedingly impatient to learn
the effect produced upon the Cabinets of
London and Paris, by the bearing of their
representatives at the Sublime Porte.
A large fleet of steamers is collecting• in
the waters of the Bosphorus, and in the
harbor of the Golden Horn; and between
the entrance of the Black Sea and the Pro
pontis, and the Sea of Marmora, there are
twelve ships of :he line at anchor, fully e
quipped, and plentifully supplied with arms
and provisions.
In the army of 100,000 soldiers assem
bled around the capital, drilling and re-1
viewing were going on from daylight to
dusk.
A letter of the 25th ult., states, that, be
fore entering the Turkish territory, official
assurances were given to Kossuth, that he
and his fellow refugees were welcome,
and should be allowed to proceed to any
,part of the world.
A .considerable number of refugees have
been put on board American corvettes and
the French steamer L'Averin. Their des
tination is said to be Greece.
Kossuth has written a very eloquent let
ter.
en'his present position to Lord Paliner
sten, which is published entire in the Eng
lish journals.
From Widdin the news is somewhat
startling. It appears that Amillah had
been sent to urge the refugees to embrace
Islamism, and has not been unsuccessful.
Kossuth, Dembinski, Guyon, Kamoyski,
and others, all swore that no person should
induce them to apostacy. Bern had no
such scruple.
The most unwelcome featureof the news
from Turkey is, that those pashalics in
Europe, which are partly Greek and part
1Y Turkish, are in a state of great-ferment,
in consequence of the threatened rupture
,between Turkey and Russia. Under the
influence of Russian emissaries, chiefly
members of the Greek church, these vas-!
sals of the Suit* betrayed a serious in
tention of taking advantage of the present
opportunity, to get up a revolt.
The greatest activity prevails in the sen
ding of couriers to and from all the prin
cipal ports of Europe ; but the general firm
ness of the public funds theme that the
prevailing opinion is, th no serious re
sults will a rise.
The correspondent of the London Times
writing from Paris, says that a note, ad
dressed by the English , government to its
Ambassador at St. Petersburgh, on the
subject of Constantinople, couched in firm,
moderate terms, contains not a single ex-1
pression or threat calculated to wound the I
.susceptibilities of Nicholas, whilst it an
nounces the determination to support the
Porte against exigencies that would com
promise the dignity of an indcpendentsov-
ereign.
Lord Palmerston has, likewise, sent
proper instructions to Sir S. Canning, and
has placed the Mediterranean fleet at his
disposal, which has, by this time, sailed
for the Dardanelles.
have also reason for repeating, that
France has imitated the conduct of Eng
land, and that the most perfect unanimity
exists between the two powers.
AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
It has been rumored that the Hungarian
refugees near Widden, the leaders excep
ted, have applied for leave to return to the
Austrian territory, and their request would
b 3 granted.
The statement that Gorgey had been
shot' - Kagenfahl, by a brother of Count
Ziehy, who was executed by the Hunga
rinns, has been contradicted. Several
. Hungarian leaders, besides Kossuth's mo
ther and Guyon's' wife, are kept . in close
• imprisonment by the Austrian authorities.
Previous news relative to the surrender
of Comorn, is fully confirmed, after the
patriots, who held possession of the for
-tress, succeeded in making very favorable
terms with the Austrians.

ITALIAN AFFAIRS.
The French governMent had received
advises from Rome to the 4th inst,
. A letter from Rome states that "the ef
fect 'cif 'raising the state of seige of that
_city, demanded by , the three cardinals,
will.be to deprive the French general-of
-.o,authority in civil and political ques
' Lions, and to invest the cardinals' with

_prefect of

them by the pontificial police,,but that the
I,l"Freneh authorities would suspend their ex
' "itecution until the Ist of October; andflutt
th(p the meantime, 'they should h4Ve..a. free
sliSt,iisage to France, with the liberty - tn . re.
there.,''
_Sixty deputieS left immediate-
ly. Vast crowds attended them, cheering
them, and hearing their marks of respect.
The emotions of the people had a visible
effect not only on the French troops, but
'the government."
It is reported that the Pope has taken a
larm at the numerous • assassinations of.
French , soldiers, rnd belie ves ;that there is
nn extensive plot for his assassination, W I
he should return. Ile expressed a wish,
therefore,_ to remain at Naples during a,
portion of the winter.
The announcement at Home, that the
public and pecuniary engagements
of the. re government would be
respected, tied some popularity for
the Pope.
Private letters from Geneva, of the 4th,
mention that Garibaldi, on arriving at the
island of Aladalena, demanded passports
for England, witti the intention of procee
ding thence to'llw United States, where
he intended to settle. Since then, how
ever, he has received proposals from the
Montovidean Envoy. who offered him com
mand of the forces of that republic, which
office, it is believed, he will accept.
SARDINIA
The Ministry having &initialed unsuc
cessfully, or Ow Chamber of Deputies, to
sell 9,06,000 francs of runt,,, in order to
pay the first instalnwnt of the indemnity
due to Austria, It has been officially an

dissolved.
Report says that a formidable conspira
cy had been discovered in Piedmont, which
was to have broken out at Genoa on the
occasion of S,lie• landing of the body ut
Charles .:111,`-:rt..
It appears front , the French and Pied
montese correspondence-seized by 04,9 T
urin authorities, that the conspirators on
both sides of the Alps reckon on the retivial
of the French anny of the Alps to make
against them; aad there is good reason to
believe that, if they had consented to march
into Italy at all, it would be to give their
support to the. Piedmontese patriots, vlOl
not to oppose them.
AFFAIRS IN FRANCE.
The Itioni tear nnnounced the appoint
ment of Lucien Murat as Minister to Tu
rin, and N. Bois Le Compt; now Minister
at Turin, us Minister Plenipotentiary to
Washington. But the fact was stated, of
which there was no doubt, that the govern
mcnt was totally ignorant what had pas
, sed in„.Anwrica wizen 111. Bois was ?Willa'
The only allusion made in any of the
papers received, to the difficulty between
the French and American governments, is
the following, copied from time Paris Pressr:
Some explanations of the affair are nec
essary. The French government deman
ded an indemnity fa r the losses caused to
French subjects by the war in Mexico.—
This demand having met wilt some diffi
culty, the French govcrtunentharget dur
minister to announce to the American gov
ernment, that the indemnities claimed
would be kept back out drthe annuities
not yet due—out of the twenty-five mil
lions francs for which we were the debtors
of the United States. It appears that the
letter written on the subject by M. l'oussin
was couched in rather unsuitable language,
of which the French government, main
taining the claim, has expressed its disap
proval:
In consequence of the illness of Mr.
Falloux, the discussion in the Assembly on
the Italian question, and the affairs of the
River Pl; te, tope her with the American
and Turkish disputes, have all been post
poned.
On the 4th inst., the Assembly were
principally occupied in discussing a bill
rotative to the completion of the Louvre.
The bill demanding a credit of 15,000,
000 francs for its completion, and the
lengthening of the Rivoli, which, afler a
lengthened discussion, was passed by a
majority of 330, to 59.
As was suspected, the proposal of Mr.
Napoleon Bonapart, has met with the ap
proval of the committee to which it was
referred. They declared that tho uniting
CO of the Bourbons, and amnesty to the
insurgents of June, being included in the
same proposition, established an unbecom
ing assimilation of the two parties mention
ed, and at once unanimously decided on
recommending the Assembly to take it un
der consideration.
The proceedings in the Assembly, be
tween the sth and 11th instant, aro quite
unimportant.
Gen. de Hautpool has been appointed
to take the place of Gen. Rostolon, who
definately refused to stay at Rome, not
withstanding the overtures of M. Mercier.
M. Trappoli, the ex-Envoy of the Ro
man republic., who is accused of having
published false news from Rome, which oc
casioned the movement of the 13th of
June, in Paris, has been sent, under an es
cort of gem d' ((PHU'S to Bologne.
The loss experienced by the foreign
commerce of Paris, in consequence of the
revolution of February amounts to 590
million francs, as compared with the re
turns of 1847, when the total amount of
the foreign trade was 2,019 million of, l
francs.
It is stated that the government is to
recall a portion of the army in Italy, and
to leave a division oflo,ooo men at Civita
Vecchia. A single regiment is to occupy
the capital Of St. Angelo, and the Span
iards aro to enter Rome.
PRUSSIA.

that Hanover has already announced its

is the all-engrossing topic. To those who
wish to make themselves familiar with the
causes, the character, and the probable is

TURKEY—In ALLIES AND lEEE ATTITUDE.
It appears that Nicholas bad nut yet ful
ly dccided, when the Europa left Liver
priol, to attack the Turkish Sult.in, for his
I - crusted to give tip the Hungarian heroes.
But the antagonists of the Czar were al-
I ready mustering in force, to lie prepared
for the worst ; and the activity Nlllollg the
reputed allies of the Turk, indicated that
they expected to hear from Russia at the
cannon's mouth. Our own impression is
clear, that the Muscmite will strike speed
ily and . suddenly. He is flushed with his
recent'succcss in Hungary, and feels that
he can never lfe in better condition to car
ry out the darling object of his heart, and
the scheme cherished by hillgreat prede
cessor, the ambitious Catharine. But he
must not flatter himself' that the indiffer
ence of other great nations will allow him
to consummate his grand design of seating,
himself upon the throne of Constantine, or
that they will stand by, as they did more!
than twenty years ago, and see him car

dominions of the Porte. Great Britain!
has-frequently interposed to prevent the
success of this favorite scheme of the Rus
sian ruler. When the Russians and Aus
trians, in the last century, projected an al
liance
for its partition, and Catharine and
foseph had actually met on the \Volga to
arrange its details, Mr. Pitt interposed, and
prevented their design ; and when Debit
stitch was in full march for Constantino
ple, and the insurrection of the jannissa
ries only waited for the sight of the Cos
sacks to break out and overturn the throne
of Mahmoud, the strong arm of NVellinif
ton interposed, and again defeated the
purpose of the combined rulers. France
has long regarded the Enwer of the Char
with alarm ; and having twice seen the
Cossacks in Paris, it is not surprising that
France should be nervous at every addi
tion to his strength. It was an extraordin
ary spectacle, however, to see the position
of these two governments, in 1828, when
the Russians and the Mussulrnan's came
into collision. England, jealous of the
maratime superiority of RittSiar and ap
prehensive of danger to 144diEirt posses
sions, from the growth of lOssian power
in Asia, had long
madeY'it a part of her
policy to coerce the ambitious designs of
the Cabinet of St. Petersburg; but in 1828
the domestic condition of Great Britain was
too full of peril to make her:able to attend
to the Russian usurpatios upon Turkish
territory and in Turkish waterS; She was
too busy in fighting against the enemies
incurred by her reform bills; too anxious
to counteract the dangerous influence of
O'Connell ; and too much alarmed at , the
progress of antagonist principles, to stay
the tide of success that attended the Rus
sian armies in Turkey. Circumstances,
(and not England,) alone prevented the
Despot of Russia from seating himself on
the throne of the Turk, and from introdu
cing his own Iron system instetht of the
timid rule of the Sultan.
We need not say that the position of
i
both France and England is different atl
the present day. England is at peace with
all the world.' Comparative tranquility
reigns in her dominions, moreover, and
her colonies aro in a more peaceful and
flourishing condition than usual. France
will seek and find the elements that will
secure, strengthen and perpetuate her new
Republic, in a war with tho power which
is now backing up the Popo in his ungrate
ful opposition to his sometime protector
and friend. How can Russia expect much
aid from Austria, the capital of which, Vi

Tl►c Rights of Man,
We from a lute number of the
Dublin Irishman the; following r xtracts
from an able edetorial on this subject :
All men are equal in the sight of their

The claim, therelbre made by a

or noble, or knight, to tyranni:>e over and
trample on his laow-men, is the claim ol
an insolent bully, and as such will be met
by all who have the soul mid spirit of free
men.
An hereditary aristocracy or a privil
eged class of any sort, is,noronly contrary
to the plainest ideas of natural right, but
it is, perhaps, the greatest curse that the
sins of mankind ever brought into the
world. It is the root of more robbery, ty
ranny, treachery, bloodshed and all (Aar
iniquities which sadden and disgrace hu
man life, than any other one of all ihe in
ventions and devices of the Prince and
Powers of Darkness.
Political Freedom and National Inde

crable blessings, are amongst the best
gills which a bountiful Provifrence•has ev
er bestowed upon a people. 'Without those,
all other gifts of God will he robbed of

Dial climate, the physical strength and
mental ability of the race, will have been
granted almost in vain, if Freedom and

. That one nation should tyrannise over
another, or usurp its government, seems
the most barbarous and unnatural crime.
The social and individual usurpations may
be palliated by a thousand plausible soph
istries, but the Foreign Despotism is bare
faced robbery, and the plainest iniquity.
For it, there can be no defence of the rob
ber and the assassin—namely, the power
of the criminals, and the weakness or
cowardice of the victims.
It has, thcrelbrc, ever been held the
most glorious and heroic deed which man
can do, to assist in the overthrow of such
tyrranny, and in the reestablishment of the
national independence of his country.—
History records, with all the honors that
genius can confer, the names of those
bravo men, who struck to the heart the do
mination of the foreigner, or spilled their
blood as a mark upon the true road to Na
tional Independence. Such men were
William Tell and Andrew floter, Wolf

The Election in California.
A correspondent of the Boston Times
gives the liillowing account of the way the
election %%as conducted in the diggings:
On the day appointed we were encamp
ed six miles below our present location.—
During the hot part of the day, the season
of the siesta, a young intelligent-looking
man came into camp on a mule, and inci
ted us all to turn out and go to the polls.
We had been in the country put a few
days, and knew cr y little of its local pol
itics, but decided upon following the young
man to the Big Bar, where the election
was to be held, and there gather what in
lbrination we could. Off we went by the
mule path, over hill and ravine, craggy
rocks, and through thorny chapparel, until
we come to the Bar. The place of mee
ting was a store tent, and here were about
twenty miners, NVe arruinged ourselves
upon a log, tinder the edge of the tent, and
waited for the progress of events.
Directly our guide took his hat and
nominated a moderator for the meeting,'
thenjhree inspectors and a clerk : all of
who nil were chosen without a dissenting
voice. At the request of one of our party
he then stated the object of the election,'
and at the same time informed us that the
first name on the prepared ballot for del
egates to the Convention was his own.—
One of the prominent questions in the elec
tion was an expression as to whether sla
very shall be allowed in California. The
candidate, though a Louisianian, was op.
posed out and out to the introduction of
slavery here, and so we all voted for him.
For myself, I was of the opinion of an old j

Tnc HUNGARIA N CROWN, Which was
learried off by KOssuthi when. he fled into
I.Turkey, is fabled by the Hungarian le
gends, to have been sent by angels to SG
' Stephen, who was crowned with it in 1001.
i The truth, as related by history, is, that it
was presented to St. Stephen by Pope syl
vester H. A golden,cirelet, presented to
Duke Geisa by the Greek Emperor, was
incorporated with it nfierwardt,. It has
seen many curious adventures in the e
ventful history of Hungary, when rival
claimants c,ontended for it. It was once
packed away in h cask bya royal fugitive
who, in journeying thus, lost it but recov
end it again. This same king, Otto, had
it forcibly taken from him by Waywode
Ladislas, who kept it three years, and then
was forced to return it. In 1489 it was
stolen liv a maid of honor, at the instance
of the widow of a duceitvd monarch, who
wished to have her inthnt son crowned
with it. In 1191 the widow pawned it
to the Emperor Frederic IV, for 2509
guilders. It was redeemed, but soon :Ile

The Mormons residing in the valley of
the Great Salt Lake, have framed a con
stitution for a State government, whichis
to be submitted to Congress at its next ses-T
sion, and which will govern them until Comi
gress shall authorize some other form of
government. They have chosen as the;
title of their State the "State of Deseret;'' .
a Mormon epithet for the "Flonev Bee, n .
significant of industry and its kindred s'ir•
tues. The constitution is in the usual fonit
of such documents among our new states.'
The three departments of government,lo-:
gislative, judicial and executive, are estab
lished. The legislative is to consist of
two houses, the members of which are tot
be "free white male citizens of the United'
States." The declaration of rights guaran
tee a perfeet freedom to worship God ac•'
cording to the dictates of conscience. Not
a word is said about slavery. The gener
