Tne News. We received by telegraph last night, from the wegular newspaper agent at Washington, a pretty fal) sypopsis ot Secretary Marcy's reply to Chevalier Hubemann in regard to the Koezta difficalty, bat ‘as our special correspondent furnished the main features of this important paper for yesterday’s Hixaaxp, we now prefer publishing the document satire. I[t will be found on the first page. The Washington, from Bremen and Southampton, arr'ved at this port yesterday evening, briagiag our fies of the London journils to the 14th inst. The $ntelligence is of a startlizg and exciting character. Wews had reached London that the Emperor Nicho- Tas had rejected the mod:fications made by the Porte government to the Vienna note. It was a simple, @ecided rejection, unaccompanied, as far as known at the time the steamer sailed, with auy reasons for go warlike and threateaing acourse. When the fact ‘wes made known in the Voutinental capitals it pro- @uced quite a financial and political panic; and per- haps the constitutional delay which was necessary {m order to afford the four Powers time to read any @@icial papers which may have been sent with the @. Petersburg document was the onty cirsumstance whieb saved Europe from a war and probably a gene- zal revolution. The Rursian general, Ludes, had marched towards the Turkish frontiers with military geinforcements, and his imperial master had deco- vated the Austrian commander in-chief with orders of high distinction. Lord Clarendon had issued a manifesto upon the question on behalf of the Eaglish government. It shows very clearly, from a compari- wor of the dates of the progressive points of the dif- @enlty, that Russia could not have looked upon the ‘@ppearance of the combined fleets in Besika Bay as ber easus bell:. The tone of his lordship is firm and manly as to the policy of his cabinet. { In France the scarcity of corn and the food tariff Iews seemed to add a peculiar feature to the diffi- culty; apd the jonrnals say little as to the course the Emperor would adopt or the opinions of bis minis- ters at this alarmiog crisis. Upon a full view of the tase, the popular mind seemed impressed with the belief that war was inevitable. We learn from Spain that the American Minister, Mr. Barringer, bad presented his letter of recall to Queen Ieabella. In reply to his address upon the Boeasion, her Majesty made some very complimenta- ry remarks both to the retiring representative aad his country. Mr. Soulé had not reached Madrid. ‘The first burial of an English Protestant in the dis- puted burial ground had been permitted. The English clipper Marco Polo had arrived at Liverpool, after a good run, from Australia. The @etails of her news had not been published, but they are no later, = ~ Owing to the storm which has been raging for the past two days in the East, we are unable to ascertain whether the America has reached Halifax or not. ‘The telegraphic lines having been generally prostrat- ea, it is probable she will arrive at Bostoa before we aeceive ber news, which will be three days later than Brought by the Washington. Advices from Bermuda to the 21st instant were weceived last night. The yellow fever had reached ‘tts beight, or—averaging the deaths to the popula- tion— had rather finished its work at Saint Georges. ‘The acting Governor, Colonel George Phillpots, R. E, died opom Sunday, the 1th instant, Twenty. four other persons were taken off the same day, ‘twenty on Monday, and up to eleven o'clock on the ‘20th seven more bad died. The Presbyterian Minis- tors Salary bill had been rejected by the Colonial ©ouncil. The late acting Governor was brother to ‘the Bishop of Exeter, in England. He had only weached the colony in May last, and his lady was about to ret out to join him. The second day's proceedings of the Protestant Episcopal Convention, are reported inte day's paper. ‘The richest act of the day was the admission of ‘Diack men into the convention as delegates. The colored race bave waged war for years for recogni- tion by the Protestant clergy. They were never macoeseful till yesterday, when, under their leader, John Jay, they attained their end. Grace Church id no; go in favor of this dark movement. Almost every mail brings accounts of the mclan- eboly suffering from sickness in differen’ seotions ofthe South. The cholera, which has again disap, peared trom Cumberland, is raging with considera. ble virulence in Sharpsburg, Md. We also lears that the yellow fever is gradually spreading from the towns on the banks of the Mississippi river to the interior of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arkansas, but Ht is hoped that the approaching coli weather wil) secon cause the epidemic to depart for a more con- genial latitude. As usual now-a days, our columns contains great S yqiety of interesting matter concerning the move | and lake counties of New York | The sketch of the procee’ ments of the p sto this anc other States.

This is certainly a great im- provement upon the ordinary m-thod of tram-a:ting business in political conventions, and the example might be followed with advantage elsewhere, should it meet the aporobation of the rank and file, which is somewhat doubt‘ul. At all events, it tenced to preserve harmony, which is a great desideratum. While upon the the re of politics, do not neglect to peruse the reply of Collector Bronson to Mr. Fletcher relative to the Tammany Hall affair; also the communication of Gen. Thomas with regard to the spicy correspondence between himself and Mr. Jobn Wheeler. The storm of Wednesday last appears to have ex- tended trom Nova Scotia to Lake Michigan. As yet, however, we have not heard that it did other damage in the East thin to knock down the tele- graph wires ; but at Michigan City we learn that wut brig Northampton, loaded with seven thousand bwehels of wheat, and the schooner Paritan, loaded with railroad iron, were driven ashore while lying at the cock, and injured to such an extent that the lat- ter will prove a total loss, The exeessively crowded state of our pages de- prives us of room for reference to mach that is in- teresting.

Impo:tant Diplomatic Ducument—Secretary Ma cy’s Reply vo the Aest tan Ministe:. Our colue ns of this morning contain a docu- ment which will excite the interest and atten- tion, not only of the people of this country. but of the civilized world. To the despot it proves that the United States will not hesitate in acting up to their duty, regardless of con- sequences; to the citizen it will be gratifying, in showing that his goverument is prepared to uphold, not only that mighty power, pie opinion, but to take such a stand as fairly to lead it; and to the emigrant now seeking our shores. whetber as guest of that political free- dom which is denied bimeleewhere, or in the struggle for that which ander less happy insti- tutions he struggles for in vain—the means of support and the pecuniary independence which more. perhaps, than all other causes enables him to feel himself a man—to him we say, it will breathe words of hope and life. impressing him with the reality that the stars and stripes are a sufficient protection even against the com- binéd threats of ‘a world in arms.” The reply to the Austrian demand, that not only should Korzta be given up, but that our gallant officers who stood between him and a bleody grave should forthwith be disgraced, is written in a calm, logical, but firm manner. It takes up the several positions assumed by Austria and, one by one, refutes them. To say that it refutes them merely scarcely conveys an adequate idea of the manner in which the ab- surd pretensions of the House of Hapsburg have been met. They have been anni- bilated. We will not attempt to mar the completeness with which this is done, nor point out the overwhelming evi- denee adduced to prove the utter and complete contradiction of all the arguments brought for- ward by Mr. Hulsemann. Read the document. But if the line of argument pursued by our government in refuting the diplomatic lore of the Austrian Minister is satisfactory to us, we confess the closing paragraphs of the letter are infinitely more so. We think we see in them evidences of that determination of purpose, that strong mora) courage, without which no free government can be successfully conducted or deserving of respect. The President is not satisfied with imperatively declining the de- mands of Austria and endorsing the gallant con- duct of Capt. Ingraham. He goes further, and intimates unmistakeably that he expects the Em- peror will make all the reparation he can for the “unjust and illegal imprisonment of Kozzta.” by restoring him to his original condition be- fore the outrage was committed by the cowardly minions of the despot. We like this stand—it has the clear ring of the metal. The public need not be informed that much of the policy, and still more of the practice in our domestic affairs, in the matter of appoint- ments by the present administration, have not been eatisfactory to us, or in our opinion calcu- lated to etrenathen the Cabinet with the coun- try. Perfectly independent as we are of all influ- ences—except the influence of public opinion, to which we bow—we have expressed our dissat- isfaction in a way to shock, doubtless, the susceptibilities of those who, even in our repub- lic, are willing to play the sycophant aud cour- tier for their own mere personal advancement. We bave no such feelings. nor éan we respect them in others. Our course is plain. and we mean to pursue it. When we honestly believe the advicers of the President lead him into error. we fulfil our duty by admonishing him and the country of it; when his acts are such as commend themselves to our admiration, it shall not be expressed in stinted phrase. Heretofore the policy of the administration has been developed merely in the matter of ap- pointments—in the distribution of govern- ment pap. Viewed as a mere qnestion of the division of so many dollars and cents, the subject sinks beneath contempt; Viewed as indicative of principle in the selec- tion of the recipients, it, however, rises to im- portance; and in this view alone have we con- sidered it. Having spoken thus freely on that subject, retracting not one iota of what we have heretofore written, the public will at least give us the credit for sincerity when we speak of this first act in the developement of the foreign policy of the administration as deserving of the highest praise. No man can peer into the fature, nor can we either conjecturs or set bounds to the history which may be crowded into the next four years. The friendships of either the natioas of Earope, or our neighbor on our Southern border, are but hollow, dictated by interest, or their open hatred withheld by mere fear, At such a crisis we want # President of energy, courage, firmness; and we accept the evidence today presented to the coun try. as a pledge that in General Pierce we may expect to find these characteristics, Let him but remember that he is President ; that to him alone the country looks in the conduct of his administration; that with no others can that responsibility be shared, either for good or bad, and we have every confidence in the result. ; Sea fom up: —ismamineas | Prospect of a Gemera Wor | The news from Europe by the Washington, in every practical point of view, is of unusual | importance to us on this side the Atlantic, | The war cloud, whieh it was believed a few days ago would be diminished through the pacific interposition of the four Powers, now hangs over Turkey and over Europe more threaten- ing and blacker than ever before. The storm, it is now feared, is inevitable. The effect of the last intelligence from St. Petersburg and Vienna upon the public will be start ling. It was transmitted to Wall street with electrical rapidity ; and we fear that it is but the beginning of another commercial and financial sensation. The Czar, we are informed, had refused to accept the note of the four Powers, (England, France, Austria and Prussia ) as modified by the Porte, and this we consider was qnite euffi- cient for the panic which followed the receipt of the news in London. It simply means that the Czar prefers war to peace, and in- tends to have it if he can have but the flimsiest pretext gf o justification. And when we consider that the four Powers, in presenting their compromise to the Sul- tan, sigvified to him that they could not be re- sponsible for any modifications which he might think fit to make, it is manifest that the Czar has the game in his hands. Turkey must now submit to the abject humiliations required by the four Powers or measure her strength sin- gle-handed with the Russian empire aud her dependancy of Austria. Perhaps, if time would permit, under this extraordinary pressure, the Sultan would succumb. leaving the evacuation of his northern frontiers at the diseretion of the enemy in occupation, But it appears that the Turkish army in the field is clwmorous for a collision with the infidel Cossack, which ren- ders any further concession by the Porte ex- tremely doubtful. First, because a collision may cut chort all further negotiations ; and, se- condly, because the temper of the Sultan’s sroops may drive him to the extremity of a for- eign war, as preferable to the hazards of an in- ternal revolution. If war fullows the four Powers will not es- cape it by disclaiming all resnonsibility in the matter, They will inevitably be drawn into the struggle, for Austria cannot porsibly escape her duties of allegiance to the Czar. Her only policy is to become his ally and divide the spoil. She may thus secure the Turkish pro- vinces to the mouth of the Danube as her share of the profits; whereas her neutrality is practi- cally put out of the question, with her frontiers hinging upon those ot Turkey and Russia, now in the occupation of their respective armies, But we cannot believe for a moment, (though England might pertinacious)y insist upon stand- ing neutral,) that France would or could per- mit this magnificent spoliation of Turkey with- out a bloody resistance; aud when the French armies cross the Rhine or the Alps it is the signal for a general war, England inevitably being dragged into the mé/ée. We repeat. that in a war between Russia and Turkey. Austria must fight. Her obligations to Russia and her policy would réquire her to fight. But if she could escape the responsibility of a warlike alliance, it is altogether probable that the revolutionary Hungarians and Italians would throw her again upon the protection of Nicholas. Behind these persevering and anxious negotiators of Englaad, France, Austria and Prussia, to extort such concessions from Turkey as will induce the Czar to keep the peace. stands the terrible array of the revolutionary republicans of the Continent. They are in the background of the picture; but they have overshadowed and dic- tated all this diplomacy on the Turkish ques- tion. The paramount and all-pervading cer- tainty that a war between Russia and Turkey would speedily ripen into a war between the thrones and the people of Europe is the satis- factory key to the exceedingly philanthropic desires of the four Powers to preserve peace. The fearful and most impressive lessons of 1848-49 have bound them over to keep the peace with each other if they can. Louis Na- poleen, however. is in a comparatively ind> pendent position. He can move and carry France with him, for France is not unwilling to reenact the glories of the Empire. But the theme is inexhaustible when once the alternative of war between Russia and Turkey becomes a “fixed fact.” That alterna- tive appears now to be inevitable; but while there is a loop-hole of escape we may rest sa- tisfied that the four Bowers, instigated by Lord Aberdeen, will not abandon their friendly offices in behalf of peace. Another steamer or two will aid us settleing the question. Joun Van Borey.—The pressure upon our columns hag prevented us thus far, aud may compel us yet for a day or two, to postpone the publication of the able’ speech of John Van Buren at the soft shell ratification at Albany. The principle of giving both sides ao fair start, we think, requires the insertion into our columns of this flaming speech of the Prince, though we have always regretted that Buffalo business of 1818 on his account, for we felt satisfied that in the settling up it would give him a world of trouble. Now that he is in for it. however, we must give him a start, and then, perhaps, we shall leave him to swim ashore if he can. The other day we pub- lished a paragraph from one of the papers of the “rural districts,” charging the Prince with having given at Syracuse cértain “ bloody instructions” to the short-boys, garnished with a little hard swearing. This report, we pre- sume, was but a device of the enemy, though we are rather surprised that the Prince has not put in a nol. pros. in the matter. But such is | democratic harmony, the epoils having run out. We must, however, take- things as they come, and be satisfied. Can’t do better. Sounp? Doctrixes—The Sentinel, the new democratic organ at Washington, in speaking of party principles, &c., says :— A wholesome discipline is escent And, as in governments, so must it be in parties; we must unieh, not reward, factioniste and traitors. He who fs puniabed to-day tor bis insubordination, will to morrow avoid a repetition of the offence. But he who is bribed to cease from sin now, may be bribed hour hence. The factionist should not be un office. If he already has ove, jd be taken away from him. When we sabsi- dize vice, we tolerate it; and by tolerating it in one wan, we encourage others to pursue it. Whether these ideas are intended to have any special application or not we are left to guess ; byt as the Sentinel has declared its sympathy for the hard shells, and approves the letters of Mesers. Bronson and O’Conor, it is quite proba ble that these practical hints are intended for the benefit of the other side of the house, Be- tween the belligerent factions the administra- tion is somewhat in the predicament of Jack “prat’s piece of pork, and, from the onslaught, the result promises to be the same. But the country is still safe, and there ie geome comfort jn that. Keep up the fire, wale om "manger The receipt of the Washington's oe*s yenterday proinsed conciderable excitement.

Nataaisl P, Talmage, formerly United States -Senator from this State, and the late Judge Damicl B. Tallandge, were sons of Joel Tallmadge, brother of James Tallmaéze of the Revolution, above mentioned. Fred- erick A. Tallmadge and Henry F, Tallmadge, of this city, are ove of the late Col Benjamin Tallmadge, ef Litoh- field, Couneetiont, and descendents of the same eommon ancestor with the subjest of this notice Having studied law, James Tallmadge was for some time the private secretary of Governor George Cliaton, and epjoyed the confidence of that distinguished man, thing part ase politician with the republican party, of which Goverzor Ciintom was long :he acknowledged head fo this State. Afterwards, as a lawyer in Datohess county, he enjoyed an extensive practics. Daring the war of 1812 he took en active part in support of measures to sustain the goverriment, and commanded part of the military foree called out for the defence of the city of New York. In 1817, baving been elected by the poople of his ative county to represent them in Congress, he took his seat im the House ef Representatives, and sooa tooka high rank as aw able and eloquent debater ia the impor- twat questions which were thea agitated in Congress. He Drought forward the celebrated proj orition for restrict- ing slavery in the territory west of the Mississippi, as an smwendment to the bill authorising the people «f Missouri to form a constitution ass State, His amendment waa adopted by the House, but lost in the Senate, and the agi- tation of the question finally led to the compromise intro- duced by Henry Cisy, by which Missouri was admitted into the Union. Thus General Ta.lmadge may be consid ered as the original proposer ofthe principles of the Wilmot proviso, In the same Congress Tallmadge de- fexded Generel Jackson for his conduet in the Seminole war, and by so doing ineurred the ill-will of Henry Clay, and caused a coolness between them which lasted during the life of Mr Clay, Declining a reelection to Congr Tallmadge retired te private life, having suffered severe affliction by the mers of hit family, in 1823, on the agi- Presidential question and the proposition to give the cho'ce of electors of President to the psopie— which proposition was opposed by Mr. Van Baren—G-n Tallmadge was called upoa by the people of Datchess county to represent them in the Assembly of this State, end wan elected by alarge majori'y. He had previously, -—-eereoeroeo————— in 1821, been chosen a member of the State Conveation to frame @ new constitution, and was ene of the mot prominent among the distinguiehed men in that Con- vention. In the Legislature of 1824 Tallmadge was the acknow- ledged leader of the poople’s party, #0 called, ia opposi- tiom to the congressional caucus, or Cyawford party. Al- though de cated by the nored *: seventeen Sematora’’ in the parsage of the electoral law, which had beea carried through the Arsembly, Tallmadge, Wheaton, Gardiner, and other friends of the choice of electors by the people, sueceeded in giving most of the electural votes of tho State to Jobn Q Adams, by the choice of electors by the Legislature, thus defeating the plans of Van Baren, aid causing the elevation of Adams to the Presidency. For this great service on the part of Tallmadge Adams was un grateful; and when President, refused to appoint him » member of his cabinet, or to send him minister to the Court of St. James, as he was urged todo by his best triends in this State, Gen. Tallmadge would have been nominated by the people’s party and clected Governor of New York, in 1824, had it not been for fatel mistake which be made, in common with the late Henry Wheaton and others of the people’s party in the Legirlatare, in voting for a resolution brought forward by the friends of Van Buren to entrap and divide the people's men, namely, @ remove De Witt Cimton from the honorary office of Canal Commissioner, The consequence was the creation of a feeling of sympathy for Clinton, bis nomina- ticn by the State Convertion of the people's party, and bis consequent election to the executive obair. With strange inconsistency, the peopie’s party placed Tail. madge on the some ticket with Clinton for Lientenant Governor, and bis majority wav muob larger thea that of Clinton, in consequence, however, of the unpopularity of Gen. Prastus Root, bis opponens. Having served two years aa Lien‘enant Governor, Tall madge retired to private life, nor was he again brougut forward for public files until 1946, when the whigs of Dutchess county elected hin ® member of :he State Con- vention which framed the prerent constitution.
