The Baltic, from Liverpool, arrived at noon yester. @sy, bringing our London advices dated upon the 2d tnst., and the latest intelligence from the continent sf Europe. To the moment of her departure the Bastern question remained the chief point of political ‘terest. The news tlegraphed from Halifax after the arrival of the America, and which appeared to eenfound an attack upo2 a Rassian gun bo:t flotilla by the Turks, the propesition of an armistice by the Buropean Powers, and the probable renewal of nego- Hiations, with the crossing of the Danube by the farces of the Sultan, is rendered more intelligible by ‘bie arrival, and the truth of each statement con- firmed in the regular order of dates. The Russians ‘Were fired upon by the Turks, upon the 23d ultimo, fevm Ue fort of Isakchi, and thare isno doubt but the period first named for the commencement of hostilities was about to be extended, in order to af- ford time for the arrival of a courier bearing the armistice, whica it was said was another edition of the last Vienna note, shorn of all its embarrassing clauses. However, it appears from a despatch re- eeived in London on the 2d inst., that Omer Pasha, at the head of a large body of the Sultan's troops, trorsed the Danuve near Widen on the 27th ult.; and altbongh hostilities bad not actually commenced, it was feared that this movement might dispel the hopes of peace which were again springing ap. Is was bopeithat the courier with the armistice had wrived upon the banks of the Danube before the tonflict was entered into; and as the Russian Gen- eral did not show any desire to precipitate events, % was considered that if the peace proocsitions Teached, they would even yet be assented to, aod the effusion of blood prevented. Mr. Soulé bad been presented to the Queen of Bpain. His speech was a mere repetition of the offi- dal routine language employed upon such occasions, and Her Mojesty’s reply contained nearly an equal Bumber of sentences, in the usual style of coudescend- img royalty. Several decrees had been issued with reference to Cuba, for which island the newly ap- pointed Captain General wee about to set out from Madrid. Everything was quiet in France. The food fever ‘bad : ub-ided, snd t&% Ewperor bad paid an interest- ing visit to his old qusrters at Ham. The melan- choly detail of the affiay which ended in the death of Genera! Count de Nenilly, are published. Jeal- @&sy upon the part of the General led to the fatal re- mk. There !s nothing of political interest from Eng: land. The Jong continued wages strikes had resuit- ed in a fearful rot at Wigan. The colliers were brought in contact with the military, blood was shed im the streets, and the town literaily sacked by an ‘inforiated multitude. The deaths of Lord Clauourry and the Bishop of Derry—two most distioguisbed men—are reported from Ireland. The Dublin Exhivition was closed ‘apon tbe 31st ult mo, with great ceremony. The commercial intell:gence by this arrival is con- sidered favorable. ‘We received the mai's of the America from Boston, Vast night. Allthe pointe of the advices had been previously telegraphed. The Baltic being telegraphed in the offing in the ferenoon, tended to check transactions ia bread- stuffs, and os her news did not transpire generally till near the meeting of Change, its effect was not tally developed yesterday. Flvur snd wheat after the news closed rather heavy, at previous rates, weile Indian corn continued dull. The chief trans- -actious in cotton were made befare the news came to band, for particnlare of which we refer to our ‘ity trate report. Dates from Havana to the 4th instant confirm the feport previously received, of @'sturhances on the island. Mewbers of prominent families, to the num- ber of thirty or more, had been arrested. We have received our files of Venezuels pavers to the Mth alt, but they contam nothing of impor. tance. Both branches of the Common Conncil were session last night. The proceedings wore nnususlly important. The officie! reports er with a asbetch of the devate inthe Board of ‘idjermen, by our special reporter, will be found ele ehere, The gale of Sunday moraivg cauned considerable destruciton to property in this city, and in parts of New Jerey and Counectiont.

The aeitimeny for the proseeution wae closed aud tue de Cana ed to be d Me d wa and losses. The fence opened. There is a mystery about the case which has yet to beenplaned. Melville was a yoang d—the accused was one of the Witnesses of the marriage ceremouy. The de seared subsequently left New York ia pursuit of a pecuniary claim te which his wife was entitled; ta the mean- el t ught De Corn, an encounter ensued, the * yspand, retired to an entry and came for-rard with a pistol acd shot Melville through the ‘yeart, who died in ten The defence is "nat the accused was sub ject to abberations Of wind, and that he assailed DeCom with his 5 ck, who in self defence used the deadly weapon. The prisoner is # man, as appears ty the stat” ment of the District Attorney, of high altainmeD’ s, good character, and distinguished fa- wily, W's tather having fought and bled for the honor cf Uy country. The trial has not yet termiuated. The Democratic Repnblican General Committee paseed resolutions ‘ast night well worthy of the spirit and independence of the national democracy. The Hon. Francis B. Cutting, Esq, delivered a epeech, which will tell in Washington upon Gutbrie & Co., and which deserves the perusal of every national demoerat in the party, Both the resolutions and speech we publish to-day. A deepatch from Louisvule states that the yellow lever had again mace its appearance at Natchez, Miss., aud thet a number hed died of it. The election for State oftivers and members ef the Legisiature of Massachusetts took place yesterday. The returns, so far as received, indicate that there hes been uo choice for Governew, and it is probable that the new eoustitutien bas been rejected by a very decisive vote. General Felix Lacoste, Cozsul General of France, died at his residence in this city last wight. A meeting to sustain the national democrats of this State was held at Washington last night, fer an account of which our teaders are referred to the telegraphic columns. d gr harge of the duties of that post he acquired vhe istinetion of being cousidered skilful op*ra, ‘or in Wall street, and one of the yaost disagree. a able men ip social intercourse that ever trod a drawing room fuer, As for polities, he had time Mrs. Melville tock lodgings under anassnmed | °° FC chan Cuuning’s knife vider, | name, where she was visited by De Gorn, on tye} until it oceurred to him that ae the busbend’s return he found that bis wife had fled ye | democratic party in this State was wretchedly poor, and he was comfortably rich, @ bargain might be made between them. fur the exchange of come of their influence against some of his money. The thing was abeurd on the face of it, as the only occasion on which his name had keen mentioued in connection with politics, was when he took Hulsemann’s plac as representative of Austria in the Yr gig States. But the democrats were ‘yer, f poer, and could not stick at tries.

Doek anybody know anything in the favor of the one beyond the fact of his good nature? Does any one know anything in disparagement of the other? One would have thought that even Marcy would have respected the white hairs of the old soldier, whose mutilated arm gives hima claim on our favor that we can never discharge, and whose long years of able and popular service ought to have earned for him a life tenure ofhis office. But the old prin- ciple was at work. The Democratic Review had to be rewarded, and the hoary veteran was The Foreign Appointments. Cur Washington correspendent’s letter, pub. lished in another column, throws some light on the reasons which influenced the admiristration in the selection of our foreiga ministers. We care not, at the present moment, to follow the writer in bis acute analysis of motives and his careful classification of the men whohave shared the spoils; he, himself, like the members of the Cabinet, seems, to our thinking, to take a con- tracted view of the question, and to forget abiding principles in his elaborate study of de- tails. The only point worth considering in conneciion Ewith the foreign appointments is whether the country is represented by men who will do us credit in the hour of need, or not. The bulk of ihe American people care not one straw about Southern democra- cies, or Northern coalitionists. or hards or setts, or silver grays or hunkers, or barnburners or any other of the factions which have sprang into life from sordid struggles for plunder: what they desire is. that the politicians who are selected by the government to represent them at foreign courts showld be men of ua- blemished character, of staunch fidelity to the spirit of our institutions, and of such exper!- ence that they shall not disgrace us by blun- ders of policy. If they can be satisfied that this is true of General Pierce’s nominces, they will not inquire what faction of the de_ mocracy was appeased by their appoint ment; if, on the contrary, it could be shown that they are men whose private standing is not reputable, or whose public career neither com- mands esteem nor inspires confidence, the people will not be satisfied with the excuse that it was necessary to conciliate this or reward that faction of any political party whatever. The whole mischiet of the foreign appoint- mente began in ignorance of this fact. The Cabinet—-for General Pierce had little to do with it—:eemed to regard themselves in the light of a gang of robbers who had wor a rich prize through the aid of fellow conspirators, and whose first duty it waz to reward the latter for their services; no thought took they either of the responsibility incurred by themselves or of the weight of the trust they confided to their nominees. The office was nothing—the duties were nothing—the public interests at stake were nothing—the national honor was nothing: ihe only thing they cared for was that Jobn or James. who had helped them to defeat the whigs, should receive his fair share of the plua- der. The Marcy rule of conduct was their guide throughout, Else, how ever could they have appointed such a man as Soulé to Spain? Were there no respectab’e Americans to be had, that it was necessary to choose aFrex ocialist, who but a few years ago was ignominiously expelled from his own home in consequence of his assaults upon public morals and social order ?—a man who was sent to the Senate through a bungle in the nominati-g convention. and who, during bis congressional career, attracted public notice an | fought before he crossed the Danube, the cam- driven from his home in order to enable the administration to pay its debts. The last appointment was, we believe, that of Jobn L. O'Sullivan, the filibustero. Hud Lopez been living. he would doubtless have had a first class mission, Criticism on such selec- tions is pointless; the bare statement of the fact is more severe than whole volumes of censure. Nor is it necessary to pursue further a eata- logue so pregnant with shame. Two socialists, one stockjobber, a professional lobbier of supply bills, and a filibustero, are a fair sample of our representatives abroad. These are the men on whom we have to rely to follow up the conduct of Ingraham, and raise our national honor and fame in Europe. These are the fruits of the system by which, under such politicians as Marcy, elections and the distributions of offices have become mere bar- gains and sales, utterly disgraceful to all ot us, and inevitably ruinous to our political pros- perity, The Turkish War. The Turks have crossed the Danube. We had a rumor of the fuct last mall; bat it was discredited both in England and here, and but little notice was taken of it. Up to the Ist of October, the prevailing impression in Great Britain appears to have been that no movement had been made by Omer Pacha; but the confi- dent manner in which the London Times of the 2d speaks of the crossing of the river, leaves us little room to doubt that the event has actually taken place. This is not the only piece of news which the Baltic brings. About the same time that the Turks were moving oat of Widin an armistice for fifteeu days was being signed at Constantinople, on the representation of France and England. The nature of the proposals which led to this armistice was such that very confident hopes were entertained that wuey would be the means of leading to a final settle- ment of the difficulty between the two bellige- rent powers. At the same time. it was feared. both in England and Constantinople. that the courier who was despatched with them would not reach Omer Pacha in time to prevent an encounter; in which event, it was expressly provided that the ermistice should be null and void. If the courier reached the Turkish camp betcre any actual outbreak took place, it seems probable that, for the present. the war will be postponed : if, on the other hand, a battle was paign may be considered as fuirly commenced. It is impossible to speculate with any degree of certainty on the dilemma. The only fact that may be regarded as certain, is the state of the Turkish forces, which, according to all ac- counts, can hardly be restrained by their gene- ral. Eminent strategists condemn Omer Pacha’s rashness in throwing the Danube behind him, and adventuring his army in a country where he will -be short of supplies, awmunition aad horse; but it is more than probable that he was forced into the step by the ungovernable ardor of his men. According to the best advices, words cannot depict the spirit which animates but once, and that by « sp:ech that would have disgraced the national councils of any civilized country ‘—who, during the cauvass. perambu- lated the Eastern States with a single speech, written to curry favor with the future Presi- dent, and which he dared not deliver in New York for fear of its being reported ?—A man whose principles, if he has any nobody knows, and whose whole life has stamped him with the character of a charlatan? Will it he any satisfaction te the Americana peo- ple. when they hear of this man making bimeelf and us ridiculous by his rhodomon- tade about war in Paris, and submitiing to ihe indignity of having bis speech to the Queen altered by the Spanish ministers, so as to appear in the decent shape in whieh we publish it this morning, to know that his appointment was a source of great consolation to some wing or some branch of the Southern democracy ? Having appointed one socialist to Madrid, it was perheps but natural that another of a dif- ferent breed should be sent to Nap'es; and Ro- bert Dale Owen was accordingly appointed. Sonlé confined the exercise of his noxious pro pensities to his own country—Owen, more com- prehensive in his philanthropy, was a pest here as well as in England. He would have been entirely unknown had it not been for the infidel peper he once started here in conjunction with Fanny Wright. This scema to have given bim a claim to the favor ef Dudley Mann; aud as the democrats of Indiana were auxious to get rid of him, there wae a double reason for his eppointment. As in the case of Soulé, his fit- noes for the post and the credit be would re- foct on this country were never once con- ed With Belmont the case was differeot. He had neither been a French sociatist nor an Eng lish infidel, He was oever banisbed from eay country, to our knowledge. Wis forte lay in a different direction, Some few years ayo he was a clerk of Rothechilds’, at a few hundred thalers ® year. At the request of Mme. Rothechild when the Josephs failed, he was forwarded to New York, and in course of time became the agent of the bouse in thie city, In the die side the Turkish soldiery, and unless Russia has sent her veterans to meet them, it is not unlike- ly that the -zar will repent his temerity. It is by no means unlikely that the next mail will bring the news of an engagement on the north bank of the Danube. Nor is it at all im- probable that the Turks may be the victors. Whether such an event would not lead to the concentration of a large body of Russian troops in Wallachia, in order to retrieve the check with éc/at. is another matter. It is difficult to conceive how Turkey could maintain so unequal a contest for any length of time; and, unless the armistice of which we have spoken should lead to a final treaty of peace, we see no reason fur altering our opinion that the ultimate issue of the war must be the obliteration of Turkey from the list of European Powers, and the erection of a new Christian State on ite ruins. The Recent Revolutionary Manifestation in Cuba. A very qocer and extraordinary story from Caba was published here some days tgo, to the effect that on the appearance on the 13th Ostober of @ vessel making sigvals off Barbacoa, on the east coast, a party of revolutionists in that place, mistaking the vessel for 8 filabustero bringing material aid and comfort, had attacked the fort aad were revalsed, aod many of them made prisoners.
