It is annexed :— ‘Tne Important News from Turkey. THE COALITION OF ENGLAND AND FRANCE AGAINST RUSSIA AND AUSTRIA ON THE TURKISH QUESTION. The Paris Journal des Débats, of Thursday, the 4th inst., esys:— ‘Weare glad to learn that England and France are ‘most cordially united in their determination to support their ambassadors at Constantinople, in the advice given by them to the Porte, respecting the extradition of the Hungarian refugees; and s note has been drawn up by ‘these twe powers, of a most energetic character, which, it is thought, will have considerable weight with the Emperors of Russia and Austria. ‘The firm language of the London papers, with re- ference to this question, is noticed with great satisfac- tion by the Débats. ‘The Rasslan special envoy to the Porte, Prince Rad- sivali, who, by the way, isa Pole, has returned to St. Petersburg, to tell his tale of disappointment to the ‘Czar. ‘The present commissioner in the Danubian provinces, Fuad Effendi, has been sent by the Sultan to the Czar, to anticipate Prince Radzival’s statement, and tho at- ‘tention of all Europe is anxiously directed to the north, to learn the issue of the affair. ‘The Sultan has countermanded his voyage teSmyrna and the Archipelago. The army of Rumelia, the province bordering on the Baltic and Marmors Seas and the ‘Archipelago, is or- dered to hold itrelfin readiness, and the local troops are being embodied. There is no reason to doubt but that the best accord Prevails between the jlish and French cabinets, and, itis said, that » powerful French and English ‘@quadron will be ordered inte the Mediterranean forth- “with, to be ready for any emergency, pending the issue of this absorbing question. Important frem France. MEETING OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY—THE EP- FECT OF THE NEWS OF M. POUSSIN’S DISMISSAL FROM THE UNITED STATES—THE PAILURE OF GR- WERAL LAMORICIERE’S MISSION TO RUSSIA—OUT- BREAK IN DIPLOMACY. ‘The Legislative Asssembly resumed its sittings on ‘the Ist inst., M. Dupin in the chair, and 480 members in attendance. The proceedings were simply of a formal character, M. de Tocqueville having demanded an additional ex- “traordinary credit of 140,000 (probably 1,400,000) francs, ‘Desides the sums already voted for the expenses of the ‘Roman intervention, until the 31st December next. The Minister did not anticipate the period when the troops ‘would be withdrawn, but he assured the Assembly that the results already obtained justified the Pope—that an -Sceupation so glorious for the French army would be #peedily terminated. The preceedings of the Assembly on Wednesday ‘were devoid of interest. The suspension of intercourse between France and Ame- rica caused much sensation in Paris when first annowrced; Sut a rumor having gained general belief that England had offered her mediation, that feeling considerably subsided. It ia reported that M. Marvast (2) or M. Th sent to Washington, in the place of M. Pous: General Lamoriciere’s mission to Russia has proved complete failure, He has loft St. Petersburg, om his return to Paris, without being permitted to present his atedentials to the Czar, as the ambassador of the French republic. General Lamoriciere, therefore, re- ‘turns to France without having had an opportunity of speaking ene word to the Emperor on political matters; and the only memorial he will bring back of his mis- sion, is the recollection of sundry reviews and the splendid suit of Circassian armor prevented to him by Nicholas, immediately after his arrival at the Imperial headquarters, Considering that the President of the republie went @0 far im his endeavors to procure a favorable reeeption for General Lamoriciere as to banish the unfortunate Polish refugees, and his determination te go heart and hand with England in resisting so preposterous «de »matid—(meaning probably that made on Turkey to ive up the Hungarian refogees } Interesting from Rome, ‘WHE pork’s MANIFESTO—ITS EFFECTS IN ROME— THE FRENCH TROOPS---ANTICIPATED REVOLUTION. The manifesto of the Pope has appeared in an official Yorm, and has been received with feelings of deep dis- appointment, if not resentment, in all quarters. ‘This fecting was especially participated in by French “soldiers, several of whom were put under arrest for having torn down, or otherwise defaced, the copies ot the manifesto aMxed to the walls, The amnesty, in ‘particular, was made the object of popular odium. ‘The attitude of the French military authorities is quite expectant; it awaits orders from Paris, but disapproves de facto the measures ordered by the Papal govern- ment; and whilst the cardinals dare not walk the streets of Rome, for fear of encountering the popular fury, the victims marked out by their inquisitorial de- arees, walk about freely. ‘The Pope, relying upon Austria or Spain, or both, ‘and being promised funds from Russia, seems to imagine ‘that public opinion will come over to his side, and ‘thus shuts his eyes to the most ob vious consequence: ‘The debates on the subject in the French (hambers are anxiously looked for, and should the French troops be withdrawn from the Papal States, there are strong reasons to be apprehended that « fresh revolution would immediately break forth. Affairs in Austria, ‘THE REPORTED SURRENDER OF COMORN—THR RU- MORED DEATH OF GRORGEY. Anstrian politics are of subordinate interest. It is positively asserted, with every probability of the truth of the reportgthat the fortress of Comorn has surren- dered, and thereby an effusion of blood has been avoided. Im the southern provinces, the excesses of the suo- ecrsful roldiery have caused martial law to be pro- claimed. No single effectual step has been taken, so far as Austria is concerned, towards the settlement of the question relative to the unity of Germany. It wae reported at Vienna, on the 30th alt. that Goorgey, the ex-Dictator of Hungary, had been by ‘Count Edmund Zieky, whore brother was executed by Georgey's deoree, at (repel Piedmont. In Piedmont, the Chamber ef Deputies only con- sented to the treaty with Austria, im consequence of the bardand inexorable necessities which crush them at present. Venice. There is nothing new from Venice, except that there is increased gloom and despondency on the part of the inhabitants. Spain. We have only reports from Spainof fresh ministerial crises; but not one word seems to be said of the serious attempts which have been meditated against Cubs, England. INTELLIGENCE FROM SIR JOHN FRANKLIN—THE DE- CLINE OF THE CHOLERA—TERRIBLE ACCOUNTS PROM IRELAND—ANTI-RENTISM AMONG THE IRISH. A cemmunication from the Lords of Admiralty, under date Uct. 4, states that, hopes are entertained that the news brought by Captain Parker, of the True Love, arrived at Hull, from Davis’s Sraits, of Sir John Frank- lin’s ship having been seen by the natives, as late as March last, beset by the ice in Prince Regent’s Inlet, is mot without foundation. From the same source re- ports have been received that Sir John Ross’s ships are in the south of Prince Regent's Inlet, and that the vessels of both expeditions are safe. This hope issome- what strengthened by the telegraphic meseage to the Admiralty, since received, of the mayor of Mull, where the True Love arrived last Mareh. The cholera is rapidly disappearing from all parts of England, as well as all parts of Europe, where it has raged s0 long and fearfully. The total deaths in Eng- land from cholera since 17th June last, are stated at upwards of 13,000. ‘The Irieh journals are filled with accounts of most san- guinary conflicts between the tenantry and the landlords for the possession of the land; and the long cherished feeling of hatred between the occupier of the soil and the owner, has now broken out with a degree of violence which threatens very serious results. Already nume- ous lives have been lost. In the Kilrush Union, a sen- tence of eviction from their homes and their holdings, has passed against no less than 1,800 souls. In such an unpromising state of things, it is not to be wondered at that emigration is proceeding with « fresh impulse. It is believed that the winter emigra- tion from the south will be greater than the last. The most discouraging circumstance that isto be feund in the news from Ireland, is the fact that politi- cal agitation appears to have almost entirely ceased.

In consequence of this mode of filling the heads of these responsible situations in our institutions, no steps were ever looked upon or taken in order to improve the cultivation of the island, or adopt better m res for the regulation of the convicts and paupers thus confined and supported at the public expense, ‘Thou- tands and thousands of dollars have been expended every year, increasing the taxation on the industrious portion of the community, merely to support certain Political cliques and wire-pullers, who have annually Pocketed large sums of money, leaving the improve- mente 80 necessary for the better regulation of the island entirely out of the question.
