New York, Ta esdny, November sneak 1849, One Dey Later Europe—The phant ever Turkey, We received, yesterday, by the regular mails from Boston, letters, journals and correspondence from Londen, of the 10th inet , being one day later from Euroye, than the intelligence brought us by the exe press of Sunday last. These later accounts are of the highest importance. They disclose the remarkable nd Very Important feom Emperor Trium- fact that the Emperor of Russia has in truth car. | ried his pout with the Turkish government, in re- Jation to the Hungarian prisoners—and more still, that Turkey has c 1 to be the permanent jailer of noble compatriots. This h intelligence will be found elsewhere ja our amps. Oar private and relia- | ble correspondence from London gives a full view ef the diplomatic treachery of France and Eng- | Jand, end this view is directly confirmed by the Ausinan correspondence of the London Tunes of the 10th inst, being the very latest dates in our poseessil ‘The exact terms are known of this dis- | graceful compact, by which the liberal feelings of the age are outraged and insulted by the duplicity of ee end England, and the weakness of Tur- key. But enovghis known to show that Russia has eubstantially carried her point, and has secured atriumph. Turkey has consented to retain wm pre- | son all such Hungarian refugees as may be designa- ted by Austria and Russia. Under this arrange- ment, there is no chance of Kossuth aad his com- patriots ever escaping to England or the United States. In fact, itis more probable, that, when the noise made in Europe ou this point shall have ceased, the Sultan may be compelled to give them Bp, or submit toa war. At all events, there they are in a Turkish prison, always prepared to furnish Ruesia with a cause to pick a quarrel with Turkey, when Europe may be otherwise engaged. And this is the disgraceful result of all the noise ef France and England, ebout hamanity tewards the Hungarian refugees. Louls Napoleon and the French KRepubite, The last aceounts from Europe are decidedly favorable for the peaceable experiment of a repub- lien France. The excitement produced by the sudden change of ministry had entirely abated, at the last eecounts. Paris is tranquil; the provinces quiet. The only disturbance seems to exist be- tween the cliques and the politicians of the olf faetions in the metropolis. In fact, France, as a republic, seems to be getting on with some degree of success. ‘This 1s the view which an American mind, im- bued with American practices and ideas, would naturally take of the position and prospects of the republic of France, of its present situation, and of its preeent President. But the English journals appear to be in complete mystery and confusion upon the whole subject. The Times, Chromele, and other leading organs of the press in Londoa, publish leader after leader, commenting with great gravity and earnest language upon the process now going on inFrance. They do not seem to un- derstand the characteristics of republican govern- ment. Their minds are continually confused by their peculiar notions, springing out of the action of constitutional or despotic moaarchies. They cannot understand how France can continue to be a republic with such changes of ministry as have been brought about, or may yet take place We have more experience fa these matters in this country. We understand how the system of government may be immovable, and yet ministers may be changing and turned in or out of office, just the seme as we change our maid servants and cooks. Louis Nepoleon’s presidency resembles very much the presidency of Captain Joha Tyler. The French President was elected by the ac dental combination of various parties, and his pre- sidency will partake of the character of its birth. He may change his ministry every three months ; and perhaps it 1s the best test of the of the republican system itself. Captain aoe changed his mimstry very frequently, bat alw. found it to terminate, every quarter, in leaving him precisely in the same position as when |} started. All these changes, which create so much alarm to the English journals, are only the natural fea- tures of the republican system of goverament, 4 easily under and appreciated in this countr, by the experience of the last half centary. We are under no alarm lest the ministry should as- sume any partizen form, whether Bourbon or Or- leanist. France can never be brought again under any one of those dynasties. It is equally impossi- ble, also, that an empire could be established, though it might, perhaps, attemy Nothing is now poseible for France bot a republican system of government, with just as many changes of ministry es the President pleases and the constr tution warrants. The ple and politicians will soon be used to such events, and, in a year or two, Unngs will go on smoothly, turning, gradually, the public mind throughout urope, to republican views and republican principles. Tue Next News rrom Evrore=—Srecucators y® Corton.—The Canada will be due at {alifax to- night. The moment the commercial news is re- deived by the press, it will be posted on the bulletin. We intend to do this in future, to prevent, if poss the commercial classes from being specu- Jated upon by unprincipled men. We understand that the cotton news brought by the Caledonia was in town on Saturday metning, and operations made to some extent on the rise in Liverpool. The wires between Halifax and St. John were owt of order from two o'clock Friday morning to six o'clock Sgturday evening Between this city and St. Joba ed they were in good order. The Caledonia arrived et Halifax ebout nine o'clock on Friday morning. ‘We shall do the best to head off the speculators: = they willeut the wires, if they can do so with mn fe ance ry eeenping detection. Merebants wy jo well, therefore, to wateh the movement of the market f What wrt. Mr Ayton Do t—Louis Napo- Jeon, in receiving Mr. Rives, substantially said =- “Mr. Rives, after the mature deliberation of several weeks, we have agreed to receive you. You are quite welcome ; but we would have you distinetly 16 understand that, if Mr. Clayton represented any other then a republican goverament, eonsider hie ineults a8 eufficient to justify your re- jection ; but our contempt for your Secretary of State does not diminish our respect for your cous try. We receive you ae Minister of the United States, not ae the pgent of Mr. Clayton Walk@h, and receive the salutations of my famuly.”” What will Mr. Clayton sey to that? There is enly one conrre to pursue. He must demand of Louis Na- omg to retract his offensive language, or retort k upon him in the reception of M. Bois le Gomte. Mr. Clayton, by ‘il means, must insist wpon giving the last kick should | by poor Poussin, how can he manence | Cura anp Srain—Canapa anp Exouanp.—We published, in the Herald of Saturday last, an extract from a Spanish journal of this city, £t Correo de los dos Mundos, stating that the Spanish government had appointed six ‘gentlemen to visit Cuba, with a v.ew of ascertaining the real state of affairs and the real sentiments of the people of the island; and that the commission is empowered with authority, if deemed neceesary, to transter the island to the possession ef the United States, the Spanish go- vernment detaining the right to approve or refuse the terms of sale. This is getting on quite as fast as we had any reason to expect. From the tenor of the instructions to Sir Henry L. Bulwer, it appears that the British government is as favorably disposed to Canadian annexation; and thus we have Spain and England on the right side. But our outside neighbors must be content to wait until we settle the little family misunderstand- ing with respect to Deseret, New Mexico and Cali- fornia. Then we shall perhaps have the house ready for their reception. All the rooms are occu- pied at present. ‘The Spanish journal El Correo furnishes another piece of infurmation, in the statement that Don A. X. San Martin, editor of the Croawa, another Spa- nish paper of New York, and a species of agent of the Captain General, now ona visit to Havana, has been recompensed for his signal services and the influence he is presumed to have acquired, by being created Spanish Consul General in this eity, in place of the present highly esteemed incumbent, Mr. Stoughton. We presume that Sr. San Martm will be recog- ised by Mr. Clayton without delay, from the con- sistency and cordial agreement of their views in regard to the late republican movements in and outside of Cuba. But of the Secretary of State was so outraged by the disregard of diplomatic etiquette get over the abuse of our government and our institutions by We have no doubt that Sr. San Martin 1s an able man, high in the favor of the Spanish government, and that his anti-republiean sentiments will be en- tirely acceptable to Mr. Clayton. One way or the other, however, the aflair ean do but little harm. Tue Reception or Mr. Kives, by the govern- ment of France, will be, unquestionably, a source of great relief to Mr. Clayton, notwithstanding his late belligerent shows a good deal of tact and skill on the part of Louis Napoleon; but the reason which he gives for receiving Mr. Rives atall, knocks away the last apology of our Seeretary for his ridiculous flare-vp with Poussin. {t eppears there is not the st ground for Mr. Clayton’s apology, that Napoleon was disposed to pick a querrel wih the United States, and that the late corres pondence was a premeditated iasult. No such thing. On the contrary, it appears that out of pure respect for our rep can institutions, and our old end friendly associatiens with France, and set- ting aside entirely the spirit of retaliation, Mr. Rives wes accepted. The object and motive of the Poussin panie appears all the more distinctly from this avowel of Louis Napoleon. The panic was got up by Mr. Claytoa and his agents, for stock-jobbing purposes—a charge which we made from the start, and which is abuadantly proved in the late confessions of the Washington Republic. When the Premier thus parades himself among the gamblers of Chestnut and Wall streets, it 1s high time for a change. But with $30,000 invest- edim a party newspaper, what else was to be ex- pected? Tre Tenvanrerec Rovre.—The right of way over this route, fora railroad or ship canal, was granted, in 1842, by the government of Santa Anna to Don Jose Garay, with many valuable privileges attached. into copartnership with the British house, in Mexi- co, of Manning & Melntosh, and the American house of Hargous & Co., and others, for the open- ng of the route to travellers. The first step will be a common highway, which 1s now nearly com- pleted, from the head of steam navigation on the Coatzacualcos, to the great lakes or lugunas com- muniecating with the Pacific. The road for most | of the way hadto be cut through some of the heaviest timber of the tropics, which, however valuable to the company for the purposes of trade, hes impeded the execution of the work. It will soon be ready for wagons all the way throagh, when it is expected that, in connection with a steamer in each ocean, the travel will fairly com- mence, by this route, from New Orleans to San Francisco, which will give a saving of one thou- effid eight hundred miles over the Panama route, Messrs Garay and Hargous have been at the Irving House, in this city, for some time, sup- posed to be in negotiation fer the Aeamers, The rallroad will probably not be undertaken until ipis ascertained how the land hes at Washington. ‘The distance over this isthmus, land and water included, ie one hundred and forty-four miles. diepositian. Prerarations Fon THE Anti-Stavery Streve- o.e.—Every Southern Governor, at the opeaing of | the session of the Legislature, enlarges much, in | his meseege, upon the present position of the sla- very question, as connected with Califormia and the Congress. The Legislatores of Alabama, new | in all of them the messages of the | have been full of the strongest Southera sentiments with expressions of determination upon that sub- ject. On the other side of Mason and Dixon's line, may be seen the same excited spirit, of an exact contrary tendency. free States will be replying, m his message, to the nes pat forth in the messeges. All this confusion and counter- talk can only tend to increase the excitement, complete hotbed aad a furious furnace of agita- | tion. What will be the issue of the confluence ot all these combu s, time alone can tell. We hope, however, for the best. We hope the great statesmen still in Congrese—such as Clay, Cal- by petty politicians, and that they will agree upon some plan of compromise favorable to the conti- nuance of this glorious Union—that they wiil unite | to aid in the settlement of this question, for good and for all. Bisnor Oxprnponk agatn.—According to some intimations of the newspapers, it seems that an- other attempt is to be made to diepose of the case of Bishop Onderdonk, and to pat an end, some | way or other, to his anomalous position. A meet- ing of the House of Bishops has been called, at the requisition of five members of that body, to be held somewhere out West, during the coming win- ter. The place of discussion is @ curious selection. | An Assembly of Bishops in the city of NewYork, ap- | pears to be too much under the influence of, or to breathe a little too much of, the atmosphere which led the bishop iato the serape he finds himself in. Away out West, in Ilinow, near the banks of the Mississippi, the atmosphere is purer, andthere may be a chance of the venerable House of Bishops coming to a decision upon the question of Bishop Onderdonk’s continuance in the ministry. Ia te event of the decision being adverse to his claims, we would suggest that the post of chaplain to the new Austrian mission, about to be organized by Mr. Clayton, would be very congenial to the ex- dignitary. n Thursday * mace, between and ( ontidence, ie very brisk, the mare Tein ght the favorite, The last trot will probably be no ot the renecn. the Spamsh editor?

We have been somewhat apprehensive of these things for a long time past. The spiritis willing, but the flesh is weak. The weakness of Bishop Onderdonk, and the derelictions of various other divines and class leaders, appear to have given the devil the inside track, so that the aboli- tionists are betting on time agaist the field. This is an awful state of things, and calls loudly for fasting and prayer. ‘The resolution 1s important in another mew. It goes to support the discovery of Professor Bowen, of the North American Review, that Christianity is a failure. What, then, are we todo? Fourierism is a failure; Fanny Wrightism isa failure; the latest article of French socialism has not yet been thoreughly tried, and between thatand Mormonism we are left to take our choice. Mormonism is not a failure; it 1s not in a drooping, but in a very thrifty, condition. It may be the right thing, after all. Who knows? But seriously, this resolution—which emanates | from the Western Reserve of Ohio, and from that | class of frae-soilers whose great champion in Con- gress 1s Mr. Giddings—shows the extremity of abolition fanaticiem. Lloyd Garrison and Abby Folsom have recommended the same opinions over end over again. Philosopher Greeley entertains them to some extent, although the religious features of Founerism remain a mystery to this day. The doctrines of this resolution will doubtless have a representative or two in the Iouse, and possibly we may have a new proviso offered, excluding all the churches from the new territories, on the ground that slavery is sanctified by their sermons and prayers. Church and State are both in danger, Let the eaints exert themselves mightily in prayer, and perhaps a fast of two or three days would help | the cause. Nothing else can save us Gen.
