Mictitaam, lit* Id Vaud Nii. Wog Intelligence from the Seat of War. Castetpondesse of the London Timss. Paris, Tuesday, Feb. 14. . It is annoenoed that a telegraphic dispatch has been received from Toulon, announcing the arrival at Algiers of Aduiiral &sat's squadron. .The passsge' (if the telegraph speaks truly) is very quiok, as the squadron only left Brest on Sunday week. • It is further stated that the squadron is to take on board General Pelissigr, with a division of the African army amounting to 12,000 men; that the squadron will then make min for Toulon, where an English squadron and transports will meet itoutd also take on board 80,000 French troops; that both squadrons, with this army of 42,000 men, will proceed to the Levant, enter the Dardanelles, and disembark the troops at Bilivri, near the spot which I men tioned now four 'or five months ago as likely to be ueleeted for a point of lauding—namely, Rod- Otte, on the Sea of Marmon, and the theist for the protection of the Bosphorus and the 10ardan- Idles. It ought not to be forgotten for a me atiest that the Emperor of Russia has not - teased to eimeentrate his force in little Wallachia.— And everything confirms me in the belief that he is lireparisy to strike a terrible blow in that diredion--und then, his prestige rvined, and his amour props satisfied, he may, in his "mag. nanimity," terrify Turkey into treating alone with him. The sodomite from Wallachia are most deplor able. The Reagan "protectors" it seems, treat the ewohamml somewhat in the same fash ion as the Spanish ocelquerers treated the Indians when they refused to work or find gold for their haugh- WMars. It has been already stated that the allechiana have been obligedho do the work in which heats of burden are usually employed, and that crowds of the peasants and farmers have - Red their homes, have passed ipto Austria, or have crossed the Dannhe and joined the Turks, rather than submit to the cruel ghee imposed by their taskmasters. My previous letters have informed poi that the inhabitants of several vil lages near the Danube had fled from their hous es. The Russian General had ordered that wom en and young girls should do hbo work imposed oti them by the troops. Theyiefused. Cossacks were sent emong them. The Cossacks were re sisted by-a numerous body of peasants armed on ly with scythes or clubs. Tie General, we are told, •sent troops who inflicted on them "an ex.- . emplary .chastisement." If we are to believe the evidence of a Wallaehian gentleman, who has just arrived in saris, who is to have an interview with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and who, I . understand, was on or near the spot, the "exera piety chastisement" wad nothing less than the massacire of the women and children of three 'villages in the neighborhood of Giargevo. I . have already mentioned the receipt of ac manta from Constantinople, to the effect that the moment it was known that the English and' Preach squadrons bad returned to the .Bosphor us, a division of the Russian fleet darted out,.and proceeded to attack Fort St. Nieholas (Chefke til), which had been taken by the Turks; bet I that As Russians were remised. The letters add, that the news caused the greatest, sensation at Constantinople; that a conference was held - by the Admirals and Ambassadors, and that it was their determieed that cruisers-should bp perma nently kept in the Black Sea, to - prevent the re .. . talon o f a s imilar event;_ thatsevend steamers. shretidy quitted 'the Boiphorus for the Black Sea, and that as soon as the Turkish convoy for Betown was ready—probably on the 2cl instant .--a steam squadron would' accompany and pro , tact it from attack. ram informed that the French Government have not as yet received any official. confirmation of the attack on the fort, but that in the .event of any hostile act being committed on the coast of Turkey, the Minister of Foreign Affairs has announced the determine ' don of the Glivernment tb take a terrible re ' lenge.

It is said here that the French Admiral did not eon eider the risk to be so great as ethicihated by hie oolleegne, end that he would have encountered it, not at hnetuir in 'Sinop° Ray, but at sea— However this may be, the unpleasant feeling at Constantinople oixasioned by-the return of the beets soon palmed, when it was seen that meas ures were being taken by the allied Admirals to escort the Turkish convoy to Battium, and to watch closely the appearance of the Ressian h fiag in the Black Seth The slime letters from Cite stantinople say that the . nomination Bias Pasha to the post of War Minister, was of nn political meaning, the Government being still determined to make no concession to.Rnssia in •compatible with the dignity and interests of the Ottoman Empire. It was considered likely that Mehemet Ali would be appointed - to the, post of Minister of Marine, which be has more than once held, so that the whole affair would be nothing more than an exchange of portfolios beteen him and Rim Pasha. At Avntior.--4 good deal of excitement was created inttown on Wednesday afternoon of this week, oceahioned by a ridiculous affair which Oc curred a little out of town, the circumstances we shall give as near as we are able to learn : It seems that for some time past Henry Pier has been nikin4 it his home in the family of Wtn. Haw se., whlo fltsome cause, doubtless well known to himself, quitted his family (which consisted of a wife and several children) about six.month.s ago, foi the west. As we have said, Henry KT made it kali - home in the family, and particularly so during• the absence of Mr. Rawson. On his re- Wry a few days since, arrangements were made by him to renfbve his family and goods. The wife refused to follow, obey, or cling to the hus band, and Pier and herself refused to let him take the goods or his Children, upon which's pitched battle ensued. Neither party received sash injury, although the detnoness brought in to requisition that fm'orite instrument on such oexastons—hot water—in defence of Pier..

About midnight, he and his wife heard a noise in the cellar anti got up to ascertain the cause—his wife preceecliag him or going to a dif ferent entrance.

He sue- • ceeded in escaping to his father's, a short dia tepee, and procured help. On returiti, he discovered the body Otis wife shot throno the heart, and the house robbed of the money.. Two Irishmen who have been in his employ are sus pected as they are missing. - The news of the murder was conveyed to Coe otter Saul, when he, in company with several officers and citizens, proceeded to the scene of.' the tragedy. On entering the sitting-room, Mr.. Saul saw the body of the deceased lying upon the floor with, the threat cat from ear to ear, a pistol wound and many other wounds on her to dy, a4d two of her fingers nearly cut off, appar . ently in attempting to defend herself from the' assassin.

The notice is tram* to the Courtier des Etats Unlit, from which we translate as follows: Upon . the two banks of the Volta, may be seen an infinity of small villages, densely peopled, es pecially upenr the immediate shores. Fishing seems to be the sole employment of this numer ous people. The beaches are covered with flakes for drying the fish previous to sending it intcithe interior, where it constitutes the principal food !of the inhabitants. The river is deep, and nav igable to a very great extent. The King, whose name is Aquanquoo, is sole Chief of this vast country, of which Adda is the capitol. The population of this city, as far as can be judged from a cursory view, is about 15- ' 000. It possesses an organized army, of which the Commander-in-Chief is Toffoo. The cessation of trade has reduced this people to great poverty. Accustomed to" subsist upon the profits of trade, they have never cultivated the earth any farther than was required by their absohtte , necessities. Upon either bank. of the rivers Are vast firests of palm trees, from which the peiiple might derive a magnificent product. Either from idleness, indifference, or the means of transportatioq, however, there appears- to be but one individuel in the whole country who has undertaken the manufacture of palm oil—and he without success. The small quantity of oil produced is trans ported to Occo, a town upon the border of the sea about eight miles west of the Volta. The expenses of transportation and shipment absorb so much of the proceeds of the sale of this com modity that no encouragement is afforded for en. gaging in the manufacture.

It will be remem bered that in January last the Councils of the •city of Philadelphia again subsenibed $2,000,000 to the road, to become available on a like amount, of stock, exclusive of esistingenbscriptions, be ing taken. Since the election of Mr: Coorsa to the Presidency of the-road, he has, as our read eri haVe heretofore been informed, procured the requiaite amount, 'and it now only requires the action of the railroad committee of the city Coun cils, under the ordinance, to make the city sub• scription available. We learn that this commit tee war to have had a meeting on the evening of the Sth, when it is very probable every thing was arranged for the approval of the Councils of the city, and the bonds will immediately issued thereafter. In this event the road will commence operations with very nearly, if not quite, six mil lions of capital subrcribed; and if the company should pursue the' policy, Is no doubt'it will, of letting the road .to contractors, payable part it stock, say fifteen per cent, •another million and a half of means may be said to be on hand, equal ling the %um of.aeven millions aid a half of dol hire. This will be sufficient to grade and bridge the road. This being done, the work will be ample security from which to raise the means to procure the iron and Machinery, even if further individual subscriptions were not attainable, which is , very 'improbable. From these facts our. read er* can readily infer that the entire road will be, put under .00ntraet at an early day; and upon the route, too, surveyed and reported by the Chief. Engineer, Mr. FlaalS. We are, satisfied that no apprehension need be felt by bureitisens that the:road is to diverge at Ridgway, , or take any but the moat direct route to Erie. - • • For the information , of our readers we subjoin ' the Ordinanee of the Councils of Philadelphia making the subicription 'to the road. By this the reader will see that the present delay is owing to the. complication of its terms, instead of any Tack of energy on 'the part of the Presidmit and 1 Directors'. . SECTION 4.

The /twee attaiptod to be got up against the Nebraska bill, triad ha just pissed the Senate with only fourteen nays spinet it, is , decidedly the greatest cry for an extremely small amount of "wool' that has ever been attempted by the Abo. i lidos shepherds of the country.

Of this character was a report it pub lished the other day of the Proorredin" gs of the Is dicia Legislature. According to the Tribune there was a most animated debate on resolutions i n t ro d uce d d e no n neng the Nebraska bill, in which many prominent Democrats came out fiat footed in opposition to it, and denounced / . otaglru worse than a pick - pocket .

All sciasible people know that the laws of soil and 'climate will al ways override human enactments, Mad hence the danger of Ndbraalia; or any other northern ter ritory, ever boxoning a slave State,' is prepoiter one.

It will be remembered that Dr. Geri- Der was awarded a large sum of money by the Commissioners appointed to adjust the claims between the united States and Mexico.

Leutsuir --:L.3lr. Ball had introduced a bill wad- the late, Franklin Canal and Railroad Com . •y, to the 'Sunbury and Erie Railroad. Company. The bill gives the road to the Sun bury and Erie Railivad Company, and authorises the latter to issue Mortgage bonds to an • amount equal to the cost of i i ta construction, to re-imbues the parties who constructed it, or .may be inter ested therein; said,bomis to be secured by a mort gage of the woken} road, bearing interest at the rate of omen per cent. per annum, payable semi annually in indladlphia. The bonds to mature in twenty years, It further appears by. the bill in question, that the Sunbuay and Erie Railroad Company, has .sodur' ed to it a large and valwible power to discriminate in charges or tolls, on ton nage and passengers passing over the road to Erie from the West—so that it can control the trade going csat l and divert it to Philadelphia. The bill requires the road to be extended to the liar. bor at Erie, and be open for' use, from that point within one year. The same enactment contem plates securing in general terms, the interests contended for by the people of-Erie, and adjusts definite* the exciting railroad difficulties which have existed herd. The bill in another portion of it provides that before taking possession of th e road west of Erie, the Sunbury and Erie Railroad Company shall subscribe for ' 2,000 shares of the capital stock of the Pittsburgh and Erie Rail. road, and shall pay into the Treasury of the Com mostweslth, a bongs of $250,000 for the right of way from Erie to the Pennsylvania and 011ie State Line.

It says: "Isn't it a little singular that Messrs. Everett, Clayton, Cooper, Pearce and Phelps hap pened to be so wonderful sick that they conldn't be in the Senate when the vote wayitaken on Ne braska?" Very singular indeed; but then the Notes is aware that political courage is an element that never yet entered' into the composition of- a true blne whig. That is just why the whig party has never succeeded. Its' leaders never have the mo ral courage to meet a question boldly—to take, Jackson fashion, the "responsibility."

The loss will fall principally upon, the proprietors of the house—two enterprising and deserving young men who had just commenced business. Their loss will be at least $5OO, mostly ini damage to furniture.
