QVERTRIAN Peke More News by the Steamer—Position of | Europe—Threatened General War. | We received last night additonal intelligence, | by telegraph, trom Halifax, all of whieh is equally interesting with that which we published yes- | terday. The dismissal, by the United States government, | of M, Poussin, the French envoy at Wasbington, | had created great astonishment in Paris ; but the | fear of any rupture had disappeared, by the state- ment that England had promptly offered her me- diation between the two republics. The story | that M. Marrast or M. Thiers was to be sent to Washington, does not seem so probable. At all | events, the idea that Franee ever entertained the idea of quarrelling with the United States, reems to be utterly preposterous and absurd. The | eonduct ‘of the Emperor of Russia to General | Lamorieiere, the new French envoy to St. Peters- burg, repudiates the supposition of any friendship between France and Russia, as well as any mo- tive in France to quarrel with the United States. The attitude of Turkey and Rassia towards each | other, on the question of delivering up the Hunga- rian fugitives, deepens in importance as we exa- mine and scan the intelligence received by the Niagara. This last intelligence from the Old World 1s the theme of diseussion and conversation among all classes of our citizens, and seems to justify the opinion, that the continent of Europe, eo recently the scene of tumults, revolutions and émeutes, is about to witness one of the most sanguinary wars that has taken place since the beginning of history. | After successfully combatting the sprout of liberty in Hungary, and exhibiting her immense military resources, the Emperor of Russia thinks the op- portunity a favorable one to perfect his long eherished designs on Turkey. The matter resolves itself into this. He had no show of right, or even plausibie excuse, for demanding of the Porte the surrender of Kossuth and the other Hungarian | leaders, who fled to his dominions when the cause | ef Hungary was lost through the treachery of Geergey, of which now there seems to be no doubt. Austria may have such right, because it wes against that power that the refagees fought ; but even if Austria had made such | | article. non-intervention acts that ever were passed, and in violation of the law of nations even, we do not see how we could aveid being mixed up in a struggle of the nature of this. The United States would be ebliged to assist in following up the | Movement agaist Russia, and join England and | France in tavor of Turkey. It would be curious if the two great nations who hold a controlling power in the movements of nations and people should come in contact. Those two nations are the United States and Russia, and their principles are as hostile asin the nature of things they could ‘be. They are both young, both growing, and both powerful for the future—each on an opposite continent, and each acting on opposite principles, as regards their internal affairs and foreign policy. Discovery or 4 Mare’s Nest.—The Washington correspondent of the Tribune (said to be one of the list of letter-writers under pay by the cabinet) has discovered a mare’s nest in the Washington correspondence of the Herald, and cackles over it prodigiously. He has found out the identical man, ‘a locofoco in disguise,” who communicated the Ackxow.enGina THE Corn.—Thurlow Weed, we perceive, has come @ut and joined Watson Webb, in the estimation which many weeks ago we formed of the policy of the present cabinet, and the nepotism of many of the appointinents that have been made under their auspices, both here and elsewhere, since General Taylor came into power. Foronce, Thurlow Weed honestly admits that the nepotism in the Custom House, in New York, and the folly which has characterized many of the cabinet appointments, are beyond doubt, and will operate very much against the present cabinet, and probably lay the foundation of their entire removal, as soon as Congress has time to act in the matter. It is very evident that the whig politicians are, in a measure, unqualified for the practical possession of power, or the suecessful manegement of government aflairs. The blunder- ing and imbecility exhibited by the present eabi- net, and their, various collectors, mimsters, and other appointees, are acknowledged on all hands and by all parties, and are fully admitted by Thar- low Weed and his associates in this State. poner re “nak eee fucts connected with the Pousein affair, as publish- ‘ed in the Herald and other papers, several weeks ago. He refers especially to a letter in the Herald from one of our Washington correspondents, with- out specifying which of the dezen on the same subject. It appears that our mischief-maker 1s a ‘ skulk- ing locofoco in disguise ”’—probably in an old white coat, Fourier hat ana boots—and was pre- sented to the Secretary of State as an “ inte mate fnend” of Joseph L. White; that he was de- termined, by fair means or foul, to make money out of the administration; that he did humbug them out of their state secrets, but that his name is known to the President and Secretary of State, | and may hereafter be published. It appears, also, that this disguised renegade of the Herald gave | | the French Minister, it would be worth a draft of | ten thousand dollars on Mr. Poussin—equal to a third of the inveetment of Mr. Clayton in the North American. To all this, we have to say, that we can easily relieve the ‘Tribune man of his per- plexities. He does not know the first letter of our correspondent’s name. It is quite probable that some waggish locofuco may have humbugged the cebinet (as that sort of thing is easy enough), and, subsequently, the Zribwne man, in claiming credit for what he knew nothing about. But the 7rebwne man is on the wrong scent. Everything which has | appeared in the Herald—correspondence and edi- | torials—upon this Poussin affair, is clear of any contract, or conference, or collusion with the French Minister. Mr. Poussin had nothing to do with it, nor his friends. As regards the seeret agency ot the Zvening Post in this business, the Zyibwne need not go far toran explanation. The Rey. Mr. Griswold, a literary contributor to the Tribune, we presume, knows all about it. He offered us a contribution on the sub- Jeet; but, as his premises and conclusions did not conform to our views of the case, we declined the Our opinions of Mr. Clayton have been and are simply these—He was made, to some extent, the instrument of these old royal di- plomatists at Washington, whose object it is to ex- cite arupture between France and the United States. He has the misfortune to be utterly igao- rent of diplomatic history. the records of diplomacy for the last forty years, he would have known that there is nota single precedent justifymg the dismissal of Poussin. We have already shown that the letters of our Minis- ter, Mr. Rives, to the French government, in 1830, were decidedly more open to complaint than those of Po@esin. If we go back to the period between 1790 and 1812, we shall find much more and much ttronger language employed in the diplomatic cor- revpondence betWeen the agents of foreiga go- vernmenis and our own. Had Mr. Clayton been cognizant of these facts, he might possibly have avoided the late ridiculous explosion. But the prime diffieulty with him lies in his timidity and trembling, when he should be bold ; in his martial demand, it would be optional with the Porte to comply with it or not. But as the Czar has made it, and asserted that a refusal to surrender those gallant men will be deemed a casus bells, it is appa- | rent that he ls about to eommence hostilities with | ‘Terkey, and has taken the opportunity to make that only a pretext for so doing. Ne one acquatat- ed with the demgns of Russia can doubt the aceu- | racy of this interpretation of her late acts towards the Porte. The Porte, having been suppor by the representatives of France hie refusal to surrender the Hungarian refugees to ed and backed | nd England, in | bravery, when it is not needed; and in his natural | feebleness of character. Hence he has been un- consciouely led astray from the right track by the old campaigners in European tacties, who, of all things, have most reason to fear a lasting friend- | ship between France and the United States. Still there is a chance for improvement. But who is the “locofoco in disguise "Is he still alive t ‘Tae Canmret Onean anv Tue Lurren Warrens. —The organs at Washington are seriously per- Mr. press John O. Sargent, sthe litle writing Russia, no doubt according to instructions, their respective governments are bound to assist, by all | the means in their power, Turkey, im the stand | which she has taken m the matter. They will be | eonstrained to do so by all principles of honor and | faith recognised by the civilized world. Our in- | 7 formation is not very complete, but from what has | already been received, and from the rumors of ca- | binet councils having beenheld in both England amd | France on the eulject, we are induced to believe | both of those nations will sustain the Porte, and | send their armies and navies to his asetst ase Russia should, on that ¢ nee in | round, commence | hostilities against him. The question then arises, will Russia reeede from the position which she has assumed? will she retract her menaces, and skulk out of the quarre! which she has attempted | to provoke? We do not think she will.

In addition to that, those two wo be compelled by commercial interests to take sides with Turkey, for those interests would sufler very materially if the Czar were permitted to indulge his ambition unrestrainedly. The Sul- tan knows this, and he cannot but be aware, too, that he could not have a more favorable opportu- nity to take a decided stand against Russian en- eroachments, than the present one offers to him. He has with him the public mad of all Barope, in hie refusal to accede to the Cvar'e demand, and he could make that available in the struggle with Rus , to put a final stop to Russian threats and Ras- ® encroachments. In fact, for 1 hundred years—ever since the was planted in Constantinople been po such opportunity of dividing the eympa- thies and power of Europe as the Hunga- rian question now presents to the Turkish go- yernment.

The intelligence received by the Niagara, up te the 6th inst.,is not very favorable commercially. The markets for our most important agrieultural produets: were by no means in @ very satisfactory eondition It was, apparently, with much diffloulty that quotations for cotton were sustaimed, and bread- stuffs were in limited demand, at declining prices. The English harvests had proved better thaw had been known for years the only unfavorable fea- ture was the disease which had, at the latest moment, appeared in the late crop of potatoes. ‘This is, doubt- less, exaggerated; and, in the best light we ean view it, the prospect in relation to an extensive demand for our breadstuffs in England this year is by nomeans flat- tering Ina political{point of view, the news is highly interesting, but so far as this country is concerned, ip of little importance. Judging from the improvement im quotations for United States stocks in London, our impression is that the Poussin bubble burst over Eng- land without doing much damage to Ameriean credit.

Parties opposed to the laying of rails by the Hudsom River Railroad Company, through the streets of New York, have applied for an injunction te prevent any further progress of the company in constructing the: line in accordance with the resolutions of the Com- mon Coumeil. The points at iseue are, whether it re- quired the vote in the Council necessary for the pas- sage of a new law, or whether it merely required a vote: necessary for the passage of a resolution granting eer- tuin privileges under an old law The twenty-third annual report of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company represents its affairs as being in 8 favorable and satisfactory condition. During the fiscal year ending on the 30th of Septem- ber, 1849, the aggregate receipts of the eompany, from pasrengers, mails and merchandise, have amounted to $1,241,205 45, beipg an increase of $27,540 88 over the preceding year. Of this amount $846,708 49 has been received from freight, and $394,496 96 from passengers— showing a large augmentation of the former, and a de- crease of $72.009 05 in the latter. The total eost of working the road and keeping it in repair, during the seme period, has been $644,654 15. ‘The net revenue of the company is thus shown to be $560.671 08, or 84 per cent upon the original eapital of $7,090,000, and about 6 per cent upon the capital of $7,227,400, being an excens of $45,113 23 over the year 1848. There has been carried to the eredit of the sinking fund, during the same period, for the re- demption ef the bonds due on acoount of the Waeh- ington branch, the rum of $83.861 69. Since the lst of October last, there have been trans- over the main stem of this road 280,003 passen- which may be dirtributed as follows:—To and trom ‘rheding and Pittsburgh, 133,138; and to and from Cumberland and intermediate points, 146,865. Of freight, there has been transported during the year, 861.655 tons, of which 108,802 tons are spplieable to the cecal trade. ‘The company have now on hand including the ad- ditions ordered in 1848, 23 lecomotives of the first elass, 6 of the recond class. 15 of the third class, and 20 of the fourth class; 77 passenger cars, 961 burden oars of alk descriptions; 81 coal cars of wood. and 209 of iren. From 1840 to 1549, the aggregate receipts of this road have advanced from $492.885 to $1,441, 20048. The regular and steady gradation by which this inerease has been reached, cannot fall to ealisfy the stoekholders of the sound and healthy patronage whieh it isdestined to command, when brought in actual contact with the Ohio river, Since the inet annual report, the lateral road to the south side of the Basin in the city of Baltimore, form- ing @ con{juuous communieation with tide-water, bas been completed. and is now in full operation, The large abatement which bas taken place in the herse power heretofore employed, and the increase in the coal trade, amounting, during the year, to 108,000 tons, bas been attended with the most decided advantage to the com- pany.
