there was still distance of 500 to 600 yards in width of rapid stream between the most outlying of the islands and the Russian bank. ‘The passage was, however, effected without opposition. St remained to be seen whether Omer would further keep ‘bis word by passing the 1st of November in Bucharest. ‘Zhe reason assigned for the evacuation of Kalefat by the Bussians, was the mortality prevailing in their camp. Previous to crossing the Danube, Omer lashs issued fhe following proclamation, which is well calculated to inspire the fanaticism of his troops :-— * Soupumas OF THE Laurens at Anacx—When fame Ais Gerd ety ann ike te avenged!

Our correspondent here mentions a rumor that was afloat, and which subsequent advices might prove true Or might not, that on the 24th the Russians returned in force upon Kalefat ani defeated the Turks. The ru- mor referred to distinctly stated the 24th as the day of the Co pee defeat, aad the 23d as the day on which the Turks crossed Previous advices, probably authentic, state that the passage was effected on the 27th.

Namek Pasha, the Minister of Commerce, was ab to visit London and Paris ona financial mission, Verious schemes were under discus- sion, and, among others, it was proposed to epen a loan in the United States. The following is Omer Fasha’s address to his treopa, after reading to them the declaration of war:— “Officers and soldiers fiom Asia, Africa and Europe! The blood ef your fathers hes more than once reddened this coil, which a powerful enemy wishes to take from you. It haa by your fathers been confided to your pa friotie honor; it has az yet no blot on it.

Ac- cording to the invariable custom of Turkey, that the bearer of mushde (or good news) should receive a prevent, Tefik Bey was presented with a thousand pounds by Omer Pasha, and pod officer, according to bis rank, hastened to offer him some substantial mark of his joy. He has returzed to Constantinople a rich man. ‘The Turkish fleet, it will be seen from the annexed list, is very far from insignificant.

It is well known that the Emperor Nicholas as derirous of escaping the extremities he had provoked, and the Ottomsr government hed actually assentel to Conditions of peace at the moment that the Ot- foman army was beginning hostili' Under or- inary circumstances, we might ai com] x 80 opened would terminate with the ar- wel the first courier from Constan inople; but it is clearly bazardous to aseume that troops, whose ardour could only be satisfied firet by a declaration, and then by a commencement of war, in opposition to the views of their own government, can now be stoped ia mil career by the injunctions of adistant authority. Possibly, the orders of the Divan reach the Turkish com Mander before the « of an actual collision; possibly, hisarmy may be rendered less warlike by the Feception itencounters; or, poreibly, the Russians may advisedly make way toman columas, im pur Buance of some sett icy; but, considering the avow ed resolutions of ( ‘ache to drive the enemy before ‘and pass the 1s November in Bucharest, we do ‘Mot see that any eveut is so probable as that of an en- —= eonjancture shows how the two taeories of pr n and independence, and what embarrassments may revult, when a State which notoriously depends on the suppor: of others fur its pre- Bervation assumes, neverihelers, the regulation of its owa xy, without deference to its ‘ora. The Turks we a clear case of war egaine: / and a most abso Jute right to fall upom the Russian army ax they are doing pow. But, icasmuch a» their uliimate reliance must be placed upon the co opera*ion of foreign governments, some attention was inco:testably dae to the the governments thus engaged in the (uarre! interest of Europe to maintain peace; it is the desire of the Turkish population to gratify themselves with the indulgence of war, and this desire has now bea watiafied fat the expense of those whom the eventual respoasi bility must fall. The Turks have thus combinei the privileges of a supporting government with the ad- vantages of a protected State, and have gone to war with- out incurring the full riek of ite penalties. On the sup- ition that they, unaided, can expel the Mussians from Ihe Principalities, their course is justifiable, but on this fupposition our whole trouble for the last six months has been utterly gratuitous. On the contrary hypothesis, they can hardly be warranted in attempting to do after their own fashion what they must ultimately leave to be others under conditions of greater per jan than before, As Furope had taken the responsi ity of protecting the Ottoman empire, it should have been leit to pursue its own policy of peace or give its ‘@wnsignal for war, whereas we ars now charged with the Obligation of preserving Turkey, and yet threatened at the same time with the loss of that peace for the sake of which the obligation w: wumed.

The goveraments of Eurcps were eagerly engaged in proc ‘the evacuation of the principalities, nor need the Turks have taken the matter into their owa hands until the efforts of their supporters had been aban. doned. The Ottoman manifesto was undoubtedly justifi- able, but only as the manifesto ofa nation competent to fight its own battles and to bear its own responsibilities. Asa declaration from a protected State it failed in its argument, for no reason could be shown for endangering European interests when the avowed object of the quar- rel might have been obtained withcut any such risks. We do not say that the Turkish government ean be abrolutely censured for these z a, We are aware that its authority over its exasperated sub- jects bas been long imperfect, and may at any mo- ment be altogether null. Irrespectively too, of this consideration, it must be fairly admitted that no government could tamely submit to the presence of an exemy in its territories without a more overt _ackuowl: ent of its dependence than the Sub. lime Porte could be expected to make. We have exposed the impolicy and danger of the late transactions, not 40 much for the pxrpose of imputing blame, as of elucidat- ing the impracticable character of the whole question before the world—a question which will still subsist after the Turks chall have retired across the Danube and the Russians across the Pruth. We are professing to “ main- tain” an empire which must not only be unmaintainable, but which wll not be maintained after the least difficult fas , and which insists on Cin 4 with the freedom of independence, however costly such ® course may prove to its protectors. At this moment we have to sve that the equilibrium of Europe is not disturbed by the ab- sorption of the Turkish dominion in that of Russia. This in itself might be no easy task, but, im addition to its na‘ural difficulties, we are now embarrassed by all the coxting+ncies of a war into which Turkey chooses to plunge, as if the coneern were solely her own, and which, besides facilitating the views of the Czar, may set all Europe in a flame togetherpand precipitate the very ca tastrophe which our policy is laboriously directed to avert (From the London Lage (lord Palmgrston’s Organ,) Nov. 4. The plain fact is, that Turkey is at war with Russia, and that fac: must be the star:ing point of all our anti- cipations as to the restoration of peace, and of all our Teasonings as to the policy of the other States of Euro} engaged or interested in seeking a pacific solution. ie latter category is large enough to include every State in Larope; acd Austria will be admitted, to eay the least, as not less vitaly and immedia’ interested than France and England. We hope it may appear that s sound sense of her own inte: is not less predominant in hercour cil, as regards Russian encrcachments in the region in which they have now again been commenced—with less colorable cause than at any former period—than it has seemed predcminant as regards at least that part of her policy, at some not remote epochs, It was the anxiety of Austria to restrain Russian encroachment in this very region that led to her mediation between England and Turkey in 1907, and drew up in her the last vials of wrath from the Emperor Napoleon, which ehe drained at Wa- gram and Schoenbrunn. She evinced similar anxiety by the organ of Metternich in 1828-9; and it has been re- ported that tha late Prince Sehwartzenberg made no se- cret of his intentions of pursi & policy which would opuse him to be regarded as a ‘monster of ingrati‘ude"’ for recent Russian assistance. If Austria recollects herself, her antecedents and her interests, there ough: to be no fear that she should throw her sword into the wrong scale now, or threaten Turkey in rear, while en; in front with ker unprovoked sailant. And, ba any such damn ng aberration of Austrian policy, we see no reason to alter our opinion that the odds are less unfavorable at this moment to the presumed weaker Power then could have been anticipated six months back, or would be likely to be reproduced six montha hence. We do not dwell on this as an argument for war—the state of war gexists—that isa matter of fact. Russia had hitherto founiit con- venient to make war, and tocall it peace. But that was @ convenience which was unilateral. Turkey did not find it convenient to have her provinces occupied, and her in- terior dominions threatened, by an invading army, hang- ing on her Danubian line of defenc under the mask of peace, She felt, and felt justly, that such @ peace could be no peace, while, on the other hand, (as our extracts from our ‘morning cotemporary, the Chronicls, in vindication of the pacific efforts of Lord Stratford de Redclitle afford concurrent testimony,) she has shown herself ready for all concessions—short of such sel{-abandonment as would bave alienated the entire of that allegiance by which she is now supported. It has more than abandantly been evidenced how willingly the Turkish government would have made peace; it cannot be coubted that it would willingly make peace now: and the eilorte of its allies have not been wanting, and will not be wanting, to assist it in arriving at that ‘‘consummation devoutly to be wished.” But to arrive at peace by ignoring war became impracticable— especially impracticable with such voluntary auxiliaries 93 those who have rallied round the Turkish standard. The protracted experiments on Turkish patience by the aggressive power remind us of tae duellist’s proposal to hi: bulky antagonist, to chalk off a portion of his out- lying territories of flesh, upon which shots should not count. Turkey never bad any chance of obtaining equitable conditions from the Power now pressing upon her, ex- cept by shewing energy to resist the pressure. The man- per and attitude of resistance are not always open to choice; but it must not be lost sight of that the is not he who striker the firat blow ina couflict, but he rho provokes it. Whatever may be the issue of the hos. ties, new commenced, it would be difficult to say that they bad not been rendered inevitable; an¢ the efforts of those Powers which would bring about their cessation must take into account all the realities of the actual crisis. ACTION OF FRANCE. y d'Hlilliers had departed on his mission to Constantinople. His appointment was regarded favor. ably by the public, and it was suffered to transpire that the n: cessity of prudence and moderation, conjoined with firmnes: of conduct, was strongly inculcated by the Em- peror at an interview given to him prior to his departure.

From the last accounts received at Constantinople, via Trebisone, it seems certain that the Circassians aad men of Daghestan have begun the war with spirit. Several tbousand of these mountain warriora have descen’ed on the fortresses on the eastern coast of the Black Sea, from Soujouk Kalé to Navaghinskoi, and in Daghestan the tribes under Schamyl have attacked the Russian troops occupying the banks of the Terek.

Prince Woronzoff had at the time only 15,000 men, and he was beaten at first on every point; but having received a reinforcement of 15,000 men, the battle was resumed, and Schamyl was forced to retreat. The Circassicns lost, it is said, 2,000 men; the Russians confess to a loss of 6,000 on their side.” ‘The Augsburg Gazele states that the Russian troops in the Caucasus have lately received considerab/e reinforce- ments, and that they now amount to 180,000 men.

A home rumor of importance is given by the Manshes- ter Guardian, a well info: med paper, that in the comi Parliament, if Lerd JobnRussell’s proposed measureextends the Parliamentary franchise to £5 reats, Mr. Disraeli will move that it be extended to every housekeeper; and if the Buscell measure proposes that the franchice ‘shail be housebold, Disraeli will move that it be universal.

[From the London News, Nov. 3.] American cijizenship foe pn to European political re- fugees, bids fair, since the Koszta dispute, to become a serious bugbear to the despotic governments of the Old World. A question has arisen between the American Vice Consul at Anccna, and the governor of that city, om the subject of a man named Paperi, who during the politi- cal convulsions of 1848 and ’49, took up arms against the Austrains in su} of the liberal cause, and in defence of his country. Subsequent events convinced him how unsafe it was for a man of his principles to reside in the Papa) States, and he therefore made interest at the American legation, with a view to improving his future . He waa directed to the United States Commo- Sore'on board the United States ehip-of war Constitution, then at anchor in the Gulf of Spezia, where he was £0 kirdly received aa to induce him to repair to the Uxited Baie, aot becuse a avaeet of that a gpeen plan he Buccee in effecting. Family matters, however, calling him back lately to this country, he returned to Macerate, on a temporary visit. His well known opinions soon ren- dered him obnoxious to the police, and he was forthwith consigned to the dungeons of Formo for two months, where the vindictive reactionary party strained every nerve to fabricate so1 Hon against him, but all in vaip. He was consequently liberated with the injunction not to leave the country again. In this dilemma he be thought himself of his rizht to American protection; but unfortusately he had no credentials whatever in his pos- session to establish his naturalization. He wrote, not- withstanding, to the American Vice Consul at Ancona, with ore oe his situation, bi pbran ye Ciseetarrys procuring the necessary documents from America, whi ‘her at the same time he expressed an arcent wish to return. The Vice Consul im: stely exerted himself to the ut. most, and addressed himself at once to his superintend- ing consul, the United States Legation at Rome, and the cltay neal) authority: ak Anectnr tie levtar "dignitary fenced off the ut finally juestion as long as he coall, b ymised to send for Paperi, and allow him to depart if was no charge subi against him, or if there was any. to pa:k him off at once, apparently on the Sage Dogheny s prinel le—"* Take no note of hi im, but Jet him go, and i are rid of a kuave.”’ In consequence of this det ‘tion, Paperi arrived An- nd was examined on the morn course, and remiaded him that if he si ration, it would be “with his own free ”? that @ result is that Paperi is who have influence with the ing his own: banishment. Hoe has Governor, to avoid s found a ship direct for London, which sails in a month’s time. Meanwhile, as he is not permitted to remain in Ancona, he has decided on taking refuge in a monastery on the top of a mountain twelve miles off, where he now remains awaiting what may happen.

About Canton things may be said te remain in statu quo; but an approaching crisis is indicated by the lamentable stagnation of trade; the high rates of exchange—6s 7d. per dollar for bills on England, and 203 rupees per $100 for Kast India Company’s accepted paper—being sad roofof the abeence of the circulating medium. Her jajesty’s sloop Lily has been sent up to guard the facto- ries; and, apparently emboldened by a reliance on the probability of quiet existing for some time, his Excellency Admiral Pellew intends, it is reported, to proceed to Ma- nila shortly, with the Winchester and S:yx, in which event we shall have to look to the United States navy for efficient protection. The U.S. storeship Supply, with a hundred men from the steam frigate Mississippi, is at present anchoreé near the Lily, in the Macao passage. The American clipper ship Oriental, Capt.

AManilaman, seaman on board the American ship Francis Partridge, whilst intoxicated, it is stated, stabbed a shipmate to the heart ina boat along side the ship. An examination bas been made on board by the acting American consul, who proposes, we hear, to send the man to America in irons, there to undergo that kind of trial which it 1s to be presumed cannot be hadin China waters or Hongkong.

At a meeting of the Gibraltar Board of Health, held on the 23d of October, it was decided that arrivals from Great Britain should perform a quarantine of eight days. Bir Robert Gardiner, the Governor, had issued @ strong protest against the useless and vexatious quarantiny re- lations ef the Spanish ports, and declared his {atention, inthe event of cholera threatening the Peninsula, to close the land communication, and throw open the port to vessels arriving from all parts of the world with bills of health. TheSpanish autnorities had threatened to inter- cept the communications between the fortress and Campo San Roque, unless a longer éu.ation of quarantine than that now existing skould be imposed by the Board of Health on vessels arriving from England. Two English and two French steam frigates, with a Prussian, an Austrian, a Dutch, and an American frigate, were at Constantinople. THE VERY LATEST.

[From the Wheeling Times, Nov. 12.] We had the pleasure of being present and assisting ina partial opening of one of the eae mounds on the fate ef Grove creek, on Thursday lest The mound is situated on the farmof Mr. Price, some mile or more east of Moundaville, and was partially Kieced by Mr. Morris and others, in 1852, ‘They discovered and got outs part of stone covered with eliaraciaty similar to the one found in the large mound, but of larger size. This portion was sent to an institution at Richmond soon after ita dis- covery, and there lost sight of. The smaller stone feund in the has not been care! preserved, and f it with the singular chat ters there. on, age and another le, a with wh Settlers of this’ eoantey area Eng! quainted, has been denied by persons who have publish- ed voluminous works within the pest five years. The eb- ject of digging into this mound at this time, was to find, if possible, the remainder of the stone, and thus estab. lish the fact rendered certain to the minds of all those who have seen either of those already found, viz, :—That the ones who built these mounds had an alphatet, and could, by that, convey ideas to the minds of absent f- sons, in language. Itia well known that the Indians kad no such means—no written alphabet. It is true, there ace other proofs beside these, that there was an anterior race who occupied our Nase and the objects now seen in the valley at the mouth of Grave creek, lead us to the conclusion that that valley was once densely populated by an intelligent aud warlike people. The jad are these mounds, and the system with which they are made, the fact that in the centre of them are found altars and ashes, ornamentsa—ameng which was a pores ring, the brazing of which could neither be out with file or diamond—the fast of the remains of forts being found here, laid off with mathematical accuracy, and many other things of the same positive character. In the valley at the mouth of Grave creek are some twenty mounds, and one trace of a fort, whileon the west side of the river are two fortifications, one og the summit gf the hill and the other on the plain. These are admira- bly adapted for the purpose of defence and for observa- tion, and are works for which our Indians had no ocea- sion and which they never built. There isno more Pacha hi than that afforded] by these evidences of a people that have long since away, and we trust it may be pursued by those who have) teken ee} interest in it, until their character is fully termined, Whe Pacific Railroad. LETTER FROM WM. CARR LAN&, LATE GOVERNOR MEW MBXICO. Sr. Louts, Nov. 10, 1868, You have published the notes of a recent journey, the Pacific coast to the Rio Grande, by that intrepid veller, Mr, Pelix X. Aubrey; = t your request, I fend youa mite that route pl jotted from . notes, under his inspection, fcr my use. Ma. Aubrey’s well known capacity for correct obs ion, and his reputation for truth, entitle his ata ‘o entire nee, The facts furnished by Mr. Aubrey afford conelt roof that a railroad, upon a central route, may be m the Mississippi river to the coast of ocean, which will not cross a single mountain, and will never be impeded, much less obstructed, by snow. Tne Kansas, Huerfano and re de rout has claims upon the public consideration; and route, south of it, which has not been spoken of, my opinion, still higher claims.
