flyiug masses, which the cavalry in vain
tried to cover. A few faint struggles
from the scattered infantry, a few rounds
of cannon and musketry, and the enemy
tied to the southeast, leaving three geiier-
als, three guns, 700 prisoners and 4,000
wounded behind them.
Alma was won. It is won with a loss
of nearly 3,000 killed and wounded on
our side. The list will appear in a few
days. The Russians’ retreat was cov-
ered by their cavalry, but if we had had
an adequate force we could have captu-
red many guns and multitudes of prison-’

The Field the day after the Battle.
“HI-IIGHTSIOF ALMA, September 21-
It was a terrible and sickening sight
to go over the battle field. Till deprived
of my horse by a chance shot, I rode about
to ascertain, as far as possible, the loss of
our friends, and in doing so I was often
brought to a a stand still by the difficulty
of getting through the piles of wounded
Russians, mingled too often Wltllolll‘
own poor soldiers. The hill of Green-
wich Park in fair time are not more
densely‘ covered with human beings than
were the the heights of Alma with dead
and dying. On thesejbloody mound s' fell
2,196 English officers and men, and up-
wards of 3,000 Russians, while their
western extremity was covered with bod-
ies of 1400 gallant Frenchmen and '~ of
more than 3,000 of their foes. "
_ When Lord Raglan and his staffaud
the Duke of Cambridge rode round to
the top of the hillthe troops cheered them
with a thrilling effect—-a shout of victory
which never can be’f0l'gotteu_ The en-
aniy, who were flying at a distance, might
almost hear its echoes as it died among
the hills. Our men had, indeed, done
their work well, for the action, which
commenced at 1,25 on our part, wss,over
about 4 I’. M. In fact, the actual ,close
continuous fighting did not last “two
hours! _ . -, .
The Russian regiments engaged
against us, judging from the nu_mbe s on
the caps and buttons of the, dead_.and
wounded, were the 11th, 12th, 16th,'__l7tli
18th, 31st, 32d, 33, and some of the Im-
perial Guard. ,
The Russian regimentlconsist. of four
battalions, and each battalion may be
said to be 650 strong. The soldiers were
mostly stout, strong men. Several. of
the regiments, 32d and l6tli, for example
were a black leather helmet, handsome-
ly mounted with brass, and having a
brass cone on the top, with a hole for
the reception of a tuft, feather or plume,
others wore“ simply a white linen; fora-
ging cap. , They were all dressed in long
drab coats with brass buttons, bearing
the number oftlie regiment. These coats
fitted loosely, were gathered in at, the
back by a small strap and button, descend
to the‘ ankles, and seemed ,stout, comfort-
able garments, though the cloth, was
coarse in texture; the trousers of coarse
blue stuff, were thrust inside a pair of
Wellingtoii boots, open at the top, to ad-
mit of their being comfortably tuclred
down; the boots were stout, well made,
and serviceable. Their ‘knapsacks as-
tonished our soldiers. A
On opening them, each was found to
contain the dress uniform coatee of the
blue or green, with white facings, and
slashes like our own, a pair of -clean
socks, a pair of stout mits, a. case, acase
containing a good pair of scissors marked
“Sapin,” an excellent penknife with one
large blade, of Russian manufacture, a
ball of twine, a roll of leather, wax,
thread, needles and pins, a hair brush and
comb, a small looking glass, razor, strop
and soap, shoe brushes and blacking.—
The general remark of our men wastliat
the Russians were “clean soldiers ;” and
certainly the men on the field had white
fair skins to justify the expressiou.—
Each man had a loaf of dark brownbread
of a sour taste and disagreeable odor,
in his knapsack, and a linen roll, contain-
ing a quantity of brown coarse stuff, bro-
ken up into lumps and large grains, which
is crushed biscuit or hard granulated
bread prepared with oil. ,
This, we were told by the prisoners,
was the sole food of the men. They eat
the bread with onions and oil ; the pow-
der is "reserve ration; and if they rriarch
they may be for days without food, and
remain hungry till they can get fresh
loaves and more “breadstuff.” It is per-
fectly astonishing to think they can" keep
together on such diet—and yet they are
strong, muscular men enough. The sur-
geons remarked that their tenacity of life
was very remarkable. Many of them
lived with wounds calculated to destroy
two or three ordinary men. I saw one
of the 32d regiment on the field just af-
ter the fight. He was shot right through
the bead, and the brain protruded in large
masses at the back of the head and from
the front of the skull. I saw with my
own eyes the wounded man raise his hand
wipe "the horrible mass from his brow,
and proceeded to struggle down the hill
towards the water! _
Many of the Russians were shot in
three or four places; few of them had
only one wound. They seemed to have
a general idea that they would be inur-
dered; possibly, they had been told no
quarter would be given, and several de-
plorable events took place in consequence
As our men were passing by two or three
of them were shot ot stabbed by men ly-
ing on the ground, and the cry was that
"the wounded Russians” were firing on
our men. _ There is a story, indeed, that
one officer was severely injured by a man
to whom he was in the very act of ad.
"ministering succor as he lay in agony on
the field; be this as it may, there was
‘at one ‘time a near chance of a massacre
taking place, but the men were soon con-
trolled, and confined themselves to the
pillage which always takes place on a
battle field. .
One villain, with a red coat‘ on his
back, I regret to say, I saw go up to a
wounded Russian who was rolling on
the earth in the rear of tlie,7tl'i ‘regiment
and before Icould say a word he dis:har-
ged his rifle right through the wretched
creature's brains. Colonel Yea rode at
him to cut him down, but the fellow ex-
cused himself by declaring the Russians
was going to shoot him. This was the
single act of inhumanity I saw perpetra-
by this army, flushed with victory and
animated by angry passions, although the
wounded enemy had unquestionably en-
dangered their lives by acts of ferocious
folly. Many of the Russians had small
crosses and chains fastened round their
necks. Several were found with Korans
in their knapsacks—most probably recruits
from the Kasan Tartars. Many of the
"officers had portraits of wives or mistres-
ses, of] mothers‘ or sisters, inside their
coats.
, The privates wore the little money
they possessed in purses fastened below
,their left knees, and the men, in their ea-
gar search after the money, often caused
the wounded painful apprehensions that
ahey were about to destroy them. Last
night all these poor wretches lay in their
88011)’; nothing could be done to help
them. The groans, the yells, the cries
of despair and suffering, were a mourn-
ful commentary on the exultation of the
victors and on the joy which reignedalong
the bivonac fires of our rrien. ‘ = is ‘-
Of the Russians , one thing was re.

in these parts of the world. The oflicers
(those of superior rank expected) are
barely distinguishable from the the men
so far as uniform is concerned, but the
generals wore sashes and good epulettes
The subaltcrns wore lnerely a lace shoul-
der-strap, instead of the cloth one of the
privates. Most of them spoke French,
and entreaties of wounded to be taken
along with us, as the ollicers moved up
the hill, were touching in the extreme.
The poor fellows had a notion that our
men would murder-them if the eye oili-
cers was removed from them.
’ An old general, who sat smiling and
bowing-on a babk with hisleg broken D)’
a round shot‘, seemed principally‘concer-
ned for the loss of. his gold snull box.—--
This, I believe, has since been restored
to him. The men say they were badly
handled, and had no- general to direct
them. Mencliikoff lost lllS head in a fig-
urative sense. The oflicers displayed
great gallantry, and the men fought with
a dog.-ed courage characteristic of the
Russian infantry, but they were utterly
deficient in elem and dash . I am not
quite sure the names I sent you per last
listfof the generals commanding was cor-
rect, but'I like it’ to be so now. Our
loss is 2,196 killed "and -wounded; of the
French, between 1300 and 1400. The
enemy have lost upwardsuof 0,00. Had
we had but a. little tbrigade of cavalry
more, we might have converted the re-
treat into an utterrout, and taken some
5,000. prisoners, guns and standards as
trophies of our victory; The troops hi-

CONSTANTINOLE, Sept. 28.
It is impossible for any one to see jtlie
melancholy sights of the last few days
without feelings of surprise and indigna-
tion at the deficienciesof our medical
-system. The manner in which the sick
and wounded .have been treated is -wor-
thy only of: the~savages.of Dahoiney_...;
-The sufferings on board the Vulcan were
bad enough. Tl'ier.e were 300 wounded
andil70 cholera patients, and these were
atended by four surgeons. The scene is
described as. terrible. The '-wounded
seized the-surgeons by the skirts as they
picked their way=through the heaps of
dying and dead, but the surgeons shook
them off. It may be expected, and per-
haps was right, that the officers should
receive the principal attention, and they
possibly required the almost undivided
labor of four men; but some one must
be in fault when large bodies of wound-
ed men are put on board a ship with no
one to givethem sur.gic,al- assistance, or
even s_upply their necessary wants.———
Numbers =arrived at Scutari without
having been touched by a surgeon since
they fellpierced by Russian bullets on
the slopes of the Alma. Their wounds
were stiff and tlieirstrength exhausted
as they were lifted out of the boats to be
carried to the hospital, where, fortunate-
ly, surgical aid may be obtained.
But all other horrors sink into insig-
nificance compared with the state of the
unfortunate passengers by the Colombo.
This vessel left the Crimea on the morn-
ing of the 24th. Wounded men were
placed on board for two days before she
sailed, and when she weighed anchor she
carried the following numbers : 27
wounded officers, 422 wounded soldiers,
104 Russian prisoners—in all 553 souls.
About one half of the wounded had re-
ceived surgical assistance before they
were put on board. To supply the
wants of this mass of misery were four
medical men, one of whom was the sur-
geon of the sliip——-sufilciently employed
in looking afterthe crew, who at this
place and season are seldom‘ free from
sickness. The ship was literally cover-
ed with prostrate forms, so as to be al-
most unmanageable. The oflicers could
not get below to find their sextants, and
‘the run was made at hazard.
The vessel was at sea twelve hours
longer through _ this iniscliance. The
worst cases tverg, placed on the upper
deck, which in a day or two became :1
mass of putritlity. .. The neglected gun-
shot wounds bred maggots, which crawl-
ed in every direction, ii-ifec-ting the food
of the unhappy beings on board. The
putrid animal matter caused suclra
stench that tlic_ofilcer_s and crew were
nearly overcome, and- the captain is now
ill from the effects of five days’ misery.
All the blankets, to the number of 1500
have been thrown overbaard as useless.
Thirty men died during the voyage. The
surgeons worked. as hard as possible, but
_could do little among somany, and ma-
ny an unfortunate fellow first came un-
der a m_edical,man’s hand on his arrival
at_ Scutari, six days after _the battle. It
is an uugracious task to find fault and to
.speak of the shortcomings of men who
;do their utmost, but an unfortunate neg-
lect has occurred since the arrival of the
steamer. Forty-six men have been left
on board for two days, when by some
extra -"exertion they might have been
placed in the hospital. The vessel :5
quite putrid, but a large number of men
will be immediately employed to clean
and fumigate her, and thus avoid the
danger of typhus, wliicli generally ari-
ses in such conditions. Two transports
w re towed by the Colombo, and their
state was nearly as bad.
[]§> Irriinense freshets have occurred
in several of the interior counties of Mis-
sissippi. Bridges and building's were
carried away.,'a.nd roads rendered impas-
sable for many days. Cattle were drown-
ed. and great damage done to the crops.
Rain fell without intermission for six
days.
Sfiltls/b Up of a Cf7‘CZ€S Te'/2t.—Du-
ring the gale in Rochester, on the 19th
ultimo, Dan Rice’s Circus was under full
headway—tlie spacious tent crammed
to its utmost capacity, every seatfu]];1nd

ing, the fierce wind caught the canvas
and hurled it‘-ackward and forward, and
up and down itsfasteiiings, till all way
on the west side, and let the whole thing
down upon the spectators. The wind
and rain came in, putting out the lights,
and drenching everybody thoroughly, and
as the canvas flapped and smote upon
the beads of thepeople, a scene of rare
and timoi'ous_confusion began. It seem.
ed, in the rusli that was made for the
dark field outjsitlt-, that myny must be
trampled under foot. The centre pole
falling, bring certain death to any one.
Had this piece of timber came down, no
one can estimate the destruction that
might have ensued. As it was, ueiihi-.-r
life nor limb was injured, and the im-
mense audience escaped with torn and
wetted garments, “busted” hats, crushed

engine and a portion of all of the cars
were thro\v_ii with great violence from
the track, breaking the ribs of an engi-

from thirty to forty first class passengers.
The citizens of Joliet promptly render-
ed all the assistance in their power to the

those who were scalded will die Within
t\t'enty-four hours.
At the latest accounts, all the sufferers
had been removed to a large stone buil-
ding on Scott street, in the village of Jo-
liet. and the employees of the road and
the citizens of the village were using ev-
ery effort toalleviate their sufferings-—
It appears that when the engine was
thrown off the tsack, the two forward
passenger cars‘ were hurled on top of it,
and the steam escaping was driven with
-tremendous force through the dense mass
of human beings packed closely amongst
the wrecks of the cars.
The engineer, W’. G. Brown was fear-
fully scalded. His brother, acting as
firernan had both his legs broken; a gen-
tleman named Carpenter from Pough-
keepsie, N. Y., was terribly burned and
scalded; J. W’. Albion of Monger C0,,
Ohio, was also severely scalded ; [Here

The Lockport (N. Y.) Fire.
Loclcronr, Nov. 2—Midniglit.
The fire broke out about 8 o’clock this
evening, in tne old Jennings’ Hotel,
Main-st-, andoa high wind prevailing at
the time, in less than twenty minutes,
that building and the Tremont House
were enveloped in flames. _
The fire rapidly spread to Boughton’s
Block, and the row of buildings to and
including Maron’s Block on the east, and
to the Congregational and Methodist
churches on the north-east, consuming
the entire square between. From the
Congregational church it spread to the
dwellings north, consuming all up to the
new Presbyterian church, which was on-
ly saved by the most strenuous exertions,
From the Methodist church the fire ex-
tended to the brick stores of .VVilson &.
Murphy on the east, and to the engine
house, No. 3, on the north. Here, at
this writing, there is a prospect of arres-
ting the progress of the flames, a build-
ing having been torn down with that
view. The total loss will not be less
than $200,000. The wind has been
blowing a perfect hurricane. A
man named Henry Randall, fell at Dusk’s
hotel, and was seriously injured. It is
also rumored that a man and woman
were burned to death in the Tremont
House.
The fire originated from the explosion
of a campliene lamp in one of the rooms
in the Jennings House.
The Fire in Charleston.
CHARLESTON, Nov. 1.
The fire which occurred liere yester-
day, destroyed Cbapin’s Carriage Re-
pository, upon which there is an insu-
rance of $15,000 in the Royallnsurance
Company, and $5,000 in the Girard.—
Several other buildings belonging to Mr.
Chapin were also burned, one of which
is insured for $5,000 in the Home Com-
pany of'Nevv Haven. Gilbert's Coach
Factory was also consumed, upon which
there is an insurance in a New _York
Company of $5,000. The Pavilion Ho-

Commissioner, dispatched one of his as-
sistants ah'ea'd‘of"the main corps, to reach
El Pass by the 30th of October, in order
to start tbe'Boundary survey‘ atthe date
provided by the treaty. Mr. Wheaton,
the assistant, arrived at El Paso on the
15th October, ten days before the appoin-
ted time, ‘and up to the 25th ult., had
received no information of the Mexican
Commissioner, beyond the vague rumor
that he and his party had been hemmed
in by hostile Indians, and would not prob-
ably reach El Paso till November. The
party ‘of the American" Commissioner,
with their property in charge, were at
last accounts two days’ march from Bexer

The Journal ..doubtless refers to a cir-
cul_ar which “all hands” have received
postage paid, we are glad to say——from
the Secretary of the General Railroad
Association, which "all hands” are ex-
pected to publish, or so much of it as
gives notice of the time and place of the
meeting of said association some time
this month, we believe, and somewhere
in the State of New York, at which place
it is expected that “the press” will re-
ceive another kick from numerous par-
ties who have been very willing to use
it free ofexpenso, until it becamethc turn
of said parties to be as civil.
VVe ask no favors of this kind, and
would cut off every "dead head” who
could not render a full equivalent for a
free ticket. No director should be al-
lowed to pass his wife or child, or any
kindred or friend, without paying full
rates. The stockholders are plundered
whenever such things are done. But,
as stockholders ourselves, we would vote
a free ticket to every editor near the road
and pay him for his time for every trip
he would consent to make, provided he
would keep the public informed, from
time to time, of all that was new and
strange on or near the road, all of which
information would be clearly for the in-
terests of stockholders, and worth pay-
ing for. It is about time that the press
resented the imputation that editors are
sponges upon railroads, when they hard-
ly number one to althousand of the "dead
heads” of these corporations, and are
about the only useful portions of the tribe
The press is used, by these corporations
for drumming up stockand helping along
some of their grand projects ; but as soon
as they wax fat, they begin to kick, and
put editors into the company of circus ri-
ders, hotel porters, &.c.
We remember that a railroad in this
State had a bitter controversy with the
Government about carrying the mails.
We defended the road,and published free
of charge the lengthy communications of
ite chief oflicerfas they were sent to us
by him. Such things occur frequently,
but the reciprocity is such as-we have
adverted to. I is time to throw back
the imputation of excessive obligation,
especially when it is all on the other side
If the Secretary of the General Railroad
Association willl enclose us a couple of
dollars, we will publish the call for his
meeting-—not otherwise.-Palladiumg

Rare Fowls.—-\Ve believe that no
one in the State made a more extensive
exhibition of rare breeds of poultry at
the Fair, than John G. North, Esq., of
this city. He had numerous coops of
choice specimens of all kinds of feath-
ered fowl. We were not aware before
that any of our citizens were pursuing
this business so systematically. \We
suppose, however, that it is as- easy to
raise choice poultry as that which is more
common. These Fairs, on a large scale,
give many people new notions of what
is going on around us, which we should
not otherwise possess. If Mr. North
would “ msure” us as much success, we
do not know but we would attempt to
raise a rumpled feathered and spurless
rooster, as a present for our neighbors of
the Register, as an emblem of his recent
Pierce-ing victories in Ohio, Indiana,
and Pennsylvania. In the old play it is.-
said " the blood of Douglas can protect
itself”—but we don't believe it can in
this country without " gaffs,” and at
game cock is not now so fit an emblem
for the Register as one of the rumpled
flock on Mr. North’s farm.—PaZla.dium_.
Sheep and Dags—A Decision Interes-

longing to Edward VV. Mahany, for kil-
ling his sheep. Mahany sued him be-_
fore a magistrate and got judgment for
$25 damages”, from which Carter appeal-
ed to the Circuit Court. The defence
alleged that to justify the shooting, the
animal must be caught in the act of wor-
rying or killing the sheep. The Court
(Judge Constable on the bench,) held a
different opinion, reversing the magis-
trates decision. The Cecil VVhig says:
“Judge Constable is reported to us as
to have decided unequivocally and clear-
ly that under the English common law,
and the Maryland statutes for the pro-
tection of sheep, which extended the
common law, anyperson who sees a dog
within his enclosure where there are
sheep, no‘ matter whether he be the own-
er of the sheep or an entire stranger, and
has sufficient reasons for believing he is
there for the purpose of worrying or kil.
ling the sheep, is perfectly justifiable in
killing him on the spot or even in pursu-
ing and killing him.”

Painful Occur-rence.
We regret to learn that the Rev. Char-lea
Bartlett, of the N cw York East M. E. Confer-
ence, committed suicide by hanging himself‘ in
it carriage house at his residence at D:u'i<:n,
yesterday. He was 34 years of age, and a
son of Rev. Ilorncc Bartlett, of New IIavcn_
Mr. B. had been in ill health for some time.——
On Thursday morning he arose from his bed
complaining of a severe pain in the head and
took some anodyrtc to relieve it. From the
effects of this it is supposed during a tempo-
rary nberution of mind he was led to the fatal
purpose. The coroner’sljury returned a ver-
dict of temporary‘ insanity. He leaves a 'Wife
to mourn her bereavement.
Ilusro.n..—Lsst Thursday night at the ‘last
regular meeting of the -‘Norwnlk Harmonic
Society, they presented a beautiful batoou to
their leader, H. M.‘Provitt. whose personal
application to the interest of ‘the Society, ‘and
talent as teacher and leader, the Society, (com*
prising nearly all the musical talent‘ in Nor-
walk,) are indebted for their present advance-
ment in musical science, and alsojthe reputa-
tion which their c_o‘riccrts have given thcin.-'-
The batoon was of‘ ' rosewood, mounted ‘with
gold, and elegantly. ‘chased, ‘on one t-ri"d of
which is the Golden Eagle, and on the other
inscribed, “ Presented to Prowitt,’ by
the Norwalk Harmonic Society,’ Nov. 2, 1854.”
The presentation was made in pa _ appropriate
address in behalf of the Society, by F. St. Job
Lockwood. . . i I ' I .

The counsel of Dr. Graham, (who was con-
victed the 10th of‘ October, of manslaughter,
for the murder of Col. Loring, of St. Nicholas
notoriety, ) gave notice that they would pre-
sent a bill of exceptions within the 20 days
prescribed by law. ‘Since then public curiosi-
ty has been a good deal excited that the time,
has passed and no bill been presented, nor any
steps taken to prevent the passing of the sen-
tence on Graham according to the verdict of
the Jury.
All is now explained by a Telegraphic cor-
respondent at New Orleans, who informs us
that Gral1am’s friends have been assured by
Gov. Seymour of a pardon. Graham will be
sentenced in a few days, and before he is in-
carcerated at Sing Sing, a. pardon from Gov.
Seymour will release him. He will then take
it trip to New Orleans, to go through another
mock trial, for being ‘engaged in a riot, by
which several men lost their lives. A

we mean to deny the fact that we are indebt-

brother Advocate. we are aware of the fact,
that but for your iudisposition to raise the re-
quircd amount, we should never have had a

in the same way to patronize your New Ca-

Grinnell, llinturn dz co., Genlu dz Lockwood,
Brown, Brothers dt co., Jacob_Little it co., and
Henry Grinnell, drew outfrom fifty to sixty
persons in New York Wednesday evening last.
George W. Blunt was Chairman, and J. H.
Stebbins, Secretary' The Chair prohibited all
persons from taking part unless they held
‘stock. A series of resolves were presented by
Mr. Vermilye. The first stated that old stock-
holders wish a compromise. The second rec-
ommended a committee’s appointment, to con-
for with ode appointed by the holders of fraud-
ulent stock. ' The third called on the Board of
‘Directors to aid a compromise. The fourth
declared that the interest of‘ the holder of un-
disputed" stock demanded an adjustment of the
claims of those who held disputed stock; The
fifth said that whatever the legal merits might
be, equity and morality demanded a comprom-
ise with the holder of fraudulent certificates‘
[Judge Roosevelt procured an addition. so
that the resolution read as applying only to
holders of fair and bona fide claims.] The
sixth said that repudiation of the fraudulent
stock would excite distrust in securities of that
kind generally. Of these, the first and second
were passed, the third withdrawn, the fourth
and fifth passed, and the sixth withdrawn. A
committee was appointed to procure signa-
tures to these resolves, and bring them to the
meeting in this city on Wednesday.

lndepemlence of Poland.
The opponents of despotism in Europe
in some quarters begin to indulge in the
hope that some advantage may accrue-
to the cause of human rights in Europe
and Asia, from the contest between the
l§')uipcror of Russia and the Allied Pow-‘
ers, at least that Poland may arise from
the feet of tlic‘_Cziii- and; become once
more :in independent power. Great ef-
forts are being made, especially in France
to irnprcss Napoleon with the importance
of snistaiiiiiig this policy, and rumor says
with some effect. A pamphlet has ap.
peared in Paris, under the title of "A
Letter to the Emperor on the Eastern
(_.)ue.<tion.” It is suspected that the let-
ter has been inspired by. Governrneul
.-uggcstioii. The scope of the pamphlet
is to show that the only way iujwhich
"tussia can be humbled and broken is by
the reconstruction of Poland. The wri-
ter after enumerating disasters which the
Allies may inflict on Russia, asks:
Do you believe, Sire, that the Czar,
that the Autocrat of All the Russians,
will be more disposed to treat after those
disasters than before '3 What to him are
some ports the less, or some ships of war
burnt '.' That is not the question for him
He will easily console himself for their
loss, for he knows that all he looses in
extension he will gain in cohesion ;~aud
that the less he has of coast to guard the
stronger he will be on given poiuta.—'—
You may take his weak positions from
him; it is of little importance, he ..will
only be more free and more at his case.
If you mean to break his cuirass you
must strike strongly, and it is iu_I_’olai_id
that you will succeed in breaking it. . .
And the letter thus concludes :
Let the VVestern Powers, without lo--
sing time with useless negotiation, rec-
ognize, by a common declarationthe la‘-
gitiinate existence of Polish nationality
and in place of a comolication, you will
have found a prompt and complete solu-
tion. Poland once constituted, the Czar
is powerless against Turkey; the Dan-
ube belongs de facto to Austria; excl}:-
sive domination in the Black Sea becomes
a chimera, and every dream of -ambition
is at an end. ‘
There is no doubt much truth in these‘
suggestions, but alas! Austria is in the
way of any step forward. ,She,can nev-'
er consent to such an arrangement as-
tbe enthusiast of France and the consti-
tutionalists of England might desire.-—
The proposition would tend to drive her"
into alliance with Russia sooner than
any other unless it should be to give to
Hungary :1 government of her own.-
The revolutioiusts stand a poor chance
for congress while the greatest enemy
of freedom, except Popery, stands ready_
with her guns and her artful policy to
defend despotism in all quarters. Her
natural and proper position is now with
Russia. When she gets there as she
may in time, France and England will
have a glorious part to_act. Necessity
rather than choice would then cause
them to act for Poland. May this no-
cessity soon appear.-Palladium.
