Court Dress.
The American Ministers at Foreign Courts
hare been in the habit of dressing in gold lace
and splendid trumpery, when attending the levees
of the Emperors, Kings, Queens and Princes of
Europe. Not long since, Mr. Marcy, Secretary
of State, very properly issued an order, directing
our Ministers abroad to appear upon all occasions
in plain, genteel dress ; which order, we regret,
has not been strictly complied with on their part.
Mr. Mason, at Paris ; Mr. Soule, at Madrid ; Mr.
Vroom, at Berlin, and others, have adopted the
ornamental style, and appear at Court, bedecked
with brilliant apparel, more adapted to the pro
fession of a player upon the stage of a theatre,
than suited to the tastes of the matter-of-fact
people of the United States. Such violation ol
the order, on their part, meets with unircrsal de
nunciation from the American Nation ; and if
they cannot dress themselves as gentlemen, and
as citizens of this Republic, as they did at home,
when attending a President's force in plain clothes
suit of black or blue, with white or buff Test, or
in any other neat, American manner, they had
better give up their places to those who will not
be ashamed to meet in American costume, the
aristocracies of Europe and the popinjays and
Courtiers who surround a throne.
When we learned with joy that we have one
Minister abroad, who, with that true patriotism
which has erer characterised his course, refused
to appear at the opening of Parliament, in Eng
land, nnless in the dress of an American oitizen,
divested of all such appendages as gold lace, knee
breeches, buckles and sword. We refer to Mr.
Bcctia.va.y, Minister to the Court of St. James.
Mr. Buchanan acted like a sensible man ; like a
true-hearted American ; like one who believes
not that it is tho gaudy dress which proclaims
the man ; ho values the heart that beats under a
torn waistcoat as he does that which throbs be
neath a jewelled one, so that it be but true to the
dictates of feeling, honor and patriotism. His
course merits the approbation of men of all par
ties, and "commends itself to the regard of the
masses of the people, who will sustain him at
home, for sustaining the character of our demo
cratic nation abroad. The refusal, upon the part
of England, not to allow Mr. B. to be present up
on the occasion above alluded to, was a direct in
sult to our government and should be properly
resented. It has been well said that when he
Las official business to transact with that gov
ernment, its Ministers will be happy to see hi m in
any dress he may choose to u-car. The position he
has assumed in reference to this Court dress ques
tion, calls for an enforcement of the Marcy order,
to that the custom, as it is abroad, may be dis
pensed with, for it is one "more honored in the
breach than in the observance." Give us plain
dresses at Court, and true American citizens like
Mr. Buchanan to wear them.
News From Europe.
The news by the Steamer Baltic, which we
give in another column, is highly interesting, all
hopes of a peaceful settlement of the vexed Eas
tern Question is at an end. Europe is in com
motion, swaying the Emperial dignity of its ru
lers with every blast from the E.nt, and alliance
after alliance is formed against tf;c Autocrat of
all the Russias with a vengeance. A general war
will soon break out, and death and carnage will
take the place of peace and pleasure. The pres
ent aspect of affairs, would declare Russia isola
ted and free to fight her own battles, without be
ing able to secure a single alliance. The lead:,,,,
nations in the coming struggle, are making i,ut
uiense preparations, and the- . neral opinion is,
that it will be one of the greaiest wars that his
tory has recorde d or the world ccr witnessed.

Speech of Hon. J. L. Dawscn.
V have received copy of this gentleman's
ab!c and argumentative Fpe-cth, delivered in the
National House of Eepresantatives, on the 14th
ult. in support of the Homestead Bill. Mr.
Iiawson, has made himself conspicuous as an ad
Tooate and defentliT of this gre at national inoa
fcure. His speech is a production of deep and
practical reasoning, and displays the amount of
attention the subject requires at the hands of the
American it-ople. It is not a measure for any
; peculiar section or locality, but a question for
every individual at the head of a family from
Maine to Texas. Mr. Dawson's Bill grants one
hundred and sixty acres of the Public Lands, we
! leiivc, to the head of every family that is willing
i to settle on and improve thesainc.by this method
. he is of opinion, the unsettled portion ofthecoun-

for passing a forge-d promissary note, bearing the
signature of George Hummel, of Hiiinmelstown,
Dauphin county, upon Messrs. Bolder & Roth,
in East Penn street. It appears he purchased
525 worth of candies, and tendered in payment a
note for 33, but before he left the store it was
discovered to be a forgery, and he was arrested
and taken before Alderman Miller, where he was
searched, and three other notes, two for 120
each, and one for $135, drawn in the same man
ner, were found en his person. He confessed to
hare forged the notes, and was committed to pri

In less than twenty years, in all probability,
the seven Northwestern States, (including Min

thatef the whole United States in 1840, and will
contain as many miles of railway as the United
States now have.
The Soldiers of 1812, and the Pbullc
Lands.
It is said that the Land Committceofthellou.se,
arc opposed to granting the requests of the old
soldiers, their widows and children. The Com
mittee, it seems, prefer giving airay the lands to
those who never did anything in the war of 1812.
The public mind, however, is strongly in favor of
! doing justice to those who served in our second
i war of Independence.
j The united press also speaks in trumpet tones
everywhere, in favor of the doings of the conven
tion or the old soldiers, recently held in Philadel-
j plua. It is a most egregious error for any mem
! bcr e.f Congress to imagine that the people of
this Ke-public will consent to pA otitic the old
suiliers for men who hare never stood for a mo
ment in defence of the country. There can b
but one honest roice on this question, and that
is in favor of doing justice to the Soldiers of the
ar e(f 1812, and of the Indian wars, their wid
ows and children.

IMPORTANT DKBATE ON TUB WAR IN tub HOCSE
OF LORUS.
In the House of Lords on Monday, the Gih, the
Marquis ef Clauricarde brought forward lu's mo
tion "to call the attention of the House to the
question of peace or war." The Marquis said
that when he brought forward his notice ef mo
tion, he certainly thought, from the laiguage
held by the member of the Government in that
bouse, that the proposal made to the Emperor of
Russia had been virtually, if not formally, rejec
tee! by him, and that his formal refusal to accede
would be received immediately.
It appears, however, that no formal refusal had
been received, and that the semblance of negoti
ations were still going on at Vienna. While,
therefore, there was oven the faintest probability
of these negotiations resulting in peace, he was
unwilling to provoke discussion, and would rest
content with asking the foreign secretary the
simple, j-et important questions : Has any an
swer been received from the Emperor ? what is
the present stale of diplomatic relations with
that power ? and what instructions, if any, have
been sent to the British Minister at St. Peters
burg.. The Earl of Clarendon replied that Lord Clan
ricarde was so far correct in his supposition, that
a proposcl from the Emperor of Russia had been
received at Vienna, and was known there on Fri
day, inst., stating the terms on which he would
be prepared to negotiate for peace. He (Lord
Clarendon) had only that afternoon, the 6th, re
ceived official intimation of the fact.
It was only on the 2d instant that the confe r
ence was called together and these proposals, or
rather this "counter project" of the Emperor of
Russia was communicated by Count Buol, the
Austrian reprcsentatire, to the reprcsentatircs of
France, England and Prussia. Tho dispatch an
nouncing this fact was not yet in the hands of all
the members of Gorernment, but he (Clanricar
de) could inform the House that the terms of the
Emperor's proposal were quite unacceptable, and
not of a character to permit of their being sent
to Constantinople. Upon that peiint no doubt
existed for a moment in the minds of the mem
bers of the conference.
In reply to Lord Clanricardc's second inquiry,
Lord Clarendon replied that on Saturday erening
the 6th Baron Brunrow, Russian Minister at Lon
don, called at the Foreign Office, and made known
that the answers given to the inquiries of his j
Government did not permit him to continue his !
official functions, and conseqnently diplomatic
relations between Russia and Britain arc broken
off. In course of the week, the papers on which
Baron Brunrow's withdrawal was founded would
be submitted to the House.
The Earl of Ellenborough had been alwavs of
opinion thljt thi3 question with Russia could be
solved in no way but by war, and he hoped the
ministers would not be deluded by any circum
stance into relaxing their preparations for that
contingency. He considered that Britain was at
the commencement of one of the most formida
ble wars in which she had ever engaged.
COUNT OBLOFF'S MISSION.
Umlcr elate Vienna. Feb. 4, 3 o'clock, P. 31.,
it is telegraphed that the news that the Turkish
note is rejected by Russia, had reached Vienna.
The Russian Cabine-t has made new proportions
through Count Orloff, which, in their turn, have
been rejected by the Vienna Conference. This
despatch is probably only another version of that
which pre-eexled it, of date of the 1st Feb.
From Berlin, the despatch of the 5th Feb. gives
an account ditlering slightly from the above.
The Emperor Nicholas, it says, has returned hi
answer to the Tmkish proposals, which were
Larked by the Vienna Conference. He declares
thou to be quite unsatisfactory ; that he will
allow ef no mediation between himself and Tur
key, and that it the Porte wishes to treat.it may
si-nd an Ambassador to St. Petersburg. For any
further iiitoriiia'ion, the members of the Confer
ence are- refe-rre-d to their respective Courts.
Fioiu Vienna. Sunday, 5th, was telegraphed
this dispatch: "This Government has deter
uiined to observe an itulcjiendrnt neutrality."
T1k Berlin Snr Prussian Journal says : "We
are informed, through a creditable source in Lon
don, that a courier was dispatched from thence
on the night ef the 25th or 26th of January, for
St. Petersburg, and took with him a plan con
jointly recommended by France and England for
the rest oration of peace with the Porte. It must
have been, in all probability, the same messen
ger whose arrival at Berlin, February 3, caused
such a sensation.
According to Berlin accounts, o date Friday
evening, 3d, Count OrlofTs proposal was that the
German Powers should elraw up a joint eleerlara
tion of neutrality under all circumstances. -If
any one memUT of the Band be attacked, Rus
sia would make cause w ith the rei tn her de
fence. Shfuld any territorial changes arise
through war, Russia undertakes to conclude no
peace without eluly considering the interest tf the
German Powers.
FRANCE.
The Police of Paris have broken up a Russian
club, called the "Bureau de l'Agence Etrangere,
or the Boulevard eles ltaliens, Paris." At this
Club the secret age-nts of Russia receive-d their
orders to circulate reports on the Roursc, and in
the streets and Cafes. No arrests were made.
Prince Napoleon had returneil to Paris from
his mission to Iie-lgium.
The me-eting of the Senate is deferred from the
27th of February to the 2d of March.
THE WAR MOVEMENT ON THE DANUBE.
Russian acvounts confirm the report of Omer
Pasha have cros.e-d the Danube and divided their
army, by expressing apprehensions of an attack
frem the Turks. They, however, declare that
the bad weather, lad roads, and inunelations of
the river re-nde-r the passage of the Danube im
possible to ihe Turks. ( rsovo letters to the 20th
ult. mention that the river was totally flooded at
that date, and that the low grounds were inun
dated around Kalafat and Rahovan. On the
20th, the Russian troops still occupied their old
positions at Radovan.
On the 21st, those Russian regiments that had
lie-en ceaselessly in action, from the 5th to the
15th, were withdrawn to Krajova having suffer
ed heavy losses, and their place wnfe supplied by
fresh troops. On the 23d, the whole staff of the
Commander-in-Chief arrived at Boleshtic, as a
grand reconnoisance was to take place very short
ly against Kalafat.
From Krajova, Jan. 25, it is stated that Gen.
DannemlKTg is ill. For several days past the
Turks had been harrassing the Russian outposts.
From Bucharest, Jan. 24, letters state that bil
leting was going oh there for the immediate arri
val of troops from Bessarabia. At the above
elate a rapid thaw had set in ; the troops could
inarch but srowly, and tti cannon required two
or three times their number of horse-s. Twenty
more Russian generals, of whom nineteen belong
to Ostensatker's corps, were in BucVarist. The
Russian Greco Sclavemic legion already nuinbe-rs
3,00 ; Prince Milosch commands.
Later from Krajova, states that Prince (loit-
schakolf arrived thereon the 5th, to liave an in
terview with General Sehilder. Since Sehilder's
arrival, a retrograVlo movement on the part ef
Russians in Little Wallachia, is observable, and
it was reported that tlic head quarters will be
transferred from Radowitz to Slatina.
Omar Pasha is sick. lie may not be in imme
diate danger, but requires rest and care. Imme
diately on Karning of his illness, the Sultan sent
two physician! from Constantinople to attend
him. One of these physicians is Dr. Heuvel, me
dical attendant to the French Embassy, and he
will also give his attention to organizing the med
ical department of the army.
A successor to Omar is to be nominated, so as
to avoid interruption to the war in the event of
Omar becoming incapacitated. As he crossed
tho Danube on the 30th or 31st January, at the
head of his army, it is to be hoped the report of

Prussia and Austria are disposed to make com

not to take part in the struggle.

Important Declaration in the British
House of Lords.The Impendi
Vf"ax,
In the course of a recent debate in the BritiEa
House of Lords, the Earl of Ellenborough
this important statement :
" My lords, I have already exprcss-d my f,pln
ion that the Emjeror of Russia was for iir.thir,
but war ; I stated that to one of her Majty-t
Ministers so long ago as Easter last, and I tx
pressetl it in the House of Loids. I do not trp
that the iifble Marquis has postponed his motion
Iiecau.se I do not Uiink that any retrosjct int
the conduct of her Majesty's Government njt,
respect to tltoe negotiations can be in the blight
est d-gree profitable to this couutry. (lhtr )
I should exceedingly regret to find that her Jl.
jesty's Government were deluded hj anything
that has recently taken place to relax in any.
thing their preparations for war, or that anvthing
that has taken place should have prevented tbe-iu
from incre-asing to the utmost possible exttat ta
preparations for war. I have no doubt that
arc at the commencement of one of the most (.
midable wars in which this country Lag been t?.
er engaged. (Hear, hear.) I deeply regret tint
the people of this country do not appear ta be t
all aware of the magnitude, of the probaUe dura
tion, and of the dismal consequences of that r.
(Hear, hear, hear.) Undoubtedly, for that H
this country is not responsible. (Hear, bur
hear.) Nor are her Majesty's Ministers rcpnni.
ble: (hear, hear) I acquit them altogether; I ttink
that whatever they have said on tLe subject lu
been said with ability, (hear, hear,) and that thy
have been ably seconded by the various
men employed by them at the different Courts of
Europe; (hear, hear,) but I do conjure youtoin
crease to the utmost possible extent every imme
diate preparation for war. (Hear.) War is in
evitable : and that which is absolutely nece-s-ry
to the prescrration of the dearest inlcrtsu cf
this country is, that on breaking up of the ke
we should show a superior fleet in the Baltic
(Hear, hear, hear.) If her Majesty's Government
were not ready to do that, they are most deeply
responsible to the country, for they had thir
eyes open, and they could not have been ignorant
of the danger pressing upon us. (Hear, beir.)
I will say no more. I shall take an opportunity
of soon considering the whole of the subject, but
now what I would impress upon her Majesty'
Government is, to increase to the utmost possiUe
extent their preparations for war. (Hear, near.)
And that war will be one of the greatest in w hi b
this country has been ever engaged. (Hear,
hear.)
Singular and Extensive Claim.
Suits liave been issued in Philadelphia, by par
ties in England, to obtain possession of several
squares of projerty in that city. The suit of
course creates much excitement. The .Vvj
makes the following mention of the matter:
We understand that during tli last week writ!
of ejectment were servtrd on a large portion ef our
citizens resident and owning property in the wes
tern part of the city, at the suit of parties claim
ing property to the amount of several million o!
dollars. The claim, as we understand it, is made
to embrace a number of blocks or solid squares,
in the city, upon which are erected some of tie
finest aud most costly buildings in it. Tho
square fpnm Tenth to Eleventh and from Walnnt
to Chestnut streets, including the Assembly
Buildings ; that from Seventeenth to Eighteenth
and from C'hcsnut to Walnut streets, embracing
the most costly block which -s to b found on the
entire length of Walnut street and that from
Nineteenth to Twentieth and from Chestnut to
Walnut streets which takes the splendid j!ace
of Mrs. Rush, constitute as we learn, the block
claimed in the southern section of the city proper.
It is also understood that corresponding block
north of these, within the city limits, are claimed
hy the same parties, with various properties in
other parts of the county.
The parties claiming as plaintiffs in the writs
are Wm. L. Bostwick, Win. and Francis Mary
Kalstead, David and MargarettaG. Moore, The
odore Glen t worth, and some twenty others aa
heirs of the original proprietor. It is said that
the parties claim as the heirs of a person named
Budden. --,o ;3 sajj to jiavc rcct.jvei tjtie unjer

has ever been made by any party having absolute
right to convey, aud that therefore the right of
possession or title in this vast amount is in them,
and not in the parties w ho bold it. What is
likely to be the result of the matter, it is of
course difficult to determine.
