The fleet of Admiral Parker, which crawled into the Dardanelles, on the pre- ‘text that it was afraid of shipwreck outside, now courts fearlessly the emulous wiuds and waves of the wide Mediterranean, homeward bound for its haven, by government orders, after having accomplished every amiscbief intended to the selected victim of duplicity, and all the good intended for the great and worghipful ‘head of the Great Church and of the thiev lance, ‘That stroke of profound diplomacy, however, by which, An addition to the sacrifice of Turkey, and the aggran- -dize of Nicholas, the English cabinet expect- ed to destroy republican France, by launching her alone ogainst Russiv, was entirely ineffectual. It is fortunate that the French President ha@ his private 8nd ambitious motives for keeping peace with the Czar, and that he was neither eo blind as wot to see that his own projected usurpation was at stake, nor so con- fiding as not to take England at the converse of her word. So itis that he is under heavy bonds to keep the peace with Russia; and, therefore, the French re- public is saved feom the general war, on its own pro- vocation, between France and the kings of Europe, For the moment, British duplicity must be contented with the destruction of Turkey, aud leave France toa future .

Onncon Tennrrony, Oob 11, 1849, I bave just arrived here, from the States, overland, geross the Rocky Mountains. which may with truth be called the most toilsome journey that can be made I left the Rifle Regiment (with which | e been travelling) back at the “Grande Ronde,” aud pro- ceeded by express to the Dalles or Mission of the late Dr. Whitman, which point we reached in three days, travelling on horseback, a distance of 205 miles Major Cross, Chief Quartermaster United States Army on this coast, Capt. Lindsey, and an escort of three men and myself, constituted the whole party, with the exception of owr guide, and the senior chief of the Cayuces tribe. This trip, without any exception, was the bardest portion of our long journey. We fellowed the Indian trail, which eourses through some of the most dreary and desolate parts of this barren country We frequently found ourselves pass- ing along the brivk of some steep precipices, thou- rands of feet high, nearly perpendicular, the trail just wide enough to permit us to pass along in single file. Ifeither ef our faithful animals had stumbled, both rider and horse would have fallen headlong into the yawning abyss below us Several times | was afraid to ride over these dangerous places, and would dismount ~but the guide and old Ivdian chief would | urge us to remain seated in our saddle, as the safest mode of getting over these tremendous chasms. Oc- easionally loose fragment from some ot the many overhanging blufis would break its held, and come dashing ‘down across our path, carrying every thin, before it. One of our loose animals stumbled and fel some fifteen hundred feet, oto the rushing stream of the Columbia, and was soon earried down by the powerful current, We bad no provisions after the first day’s travel, except pork, haviug lost all our bread in crossing the Umaatilla; this we cooked on a stick, We obtained. op the third day, a little fresh horse meat fromthe Cayuces, which was most accep- table to us We slept, of course, im the open air, with cnly one blanket each, which to the traveller across the mountains is no novelty; but at our first camp, in the viciuity of the Blue Mountains, we suf- fered most severely from the cold.

The name of Dalles is derived from an emigraut who attempted to settle here many years ago; but fluding it too serious a job to transport his stores from the fort, finally abandoned the place The Columbia river here, for some three or four miles, passes through a basaltic channel. varying in depth from twenty to two hundred feet-the rides being nearly perpendicular, aud most of the distance over fifty yards apart. At the bead of the Dalles, where the whole mass of the Columbia's waters issue, the width is not over twenty er thirty feet.
