If the report that Lord Aberdeen had resigned the premier sbip of England turns cut to be true the news is of the higbest importance. If the weak peace policy of Aberdeen bas been overthrown by the bolder men of the Eoglish Cabinet we may expect the speedier in- volvement of England in the Turkish war, and a more decided stand taken by the western Powers ia the Eastern question The advices by the Europa, due to-morrow or next day, will settle this point. ‘The intelligence from the seat of war is of a highly exciting character. It is confirmatory of the un- equivocal defeat of the Russians by the Turks at Oltevitza, the details of which engagement have reached us from all the European capitals, and are published. We are also informed that the troops of the Czar sustained another signal loss. It appears that Prince Gortechakoff moved from his headquar- ters wpon the Sth of the present month, with twenty- four thousand troops, in order, if possible, to retrieve his losses and drive the Sultan's forces from Oltenitza across the Danube. On the llth the ‘Turks advanced to meet him, and compelled hin to again retreat on Bucharest in great confusion. Itis — that the Russians have now lost three ti jd men in their successive attacks upon Oltenitza. The portion of the army under Omer Pacha which bas crossed the Danube numbers pearly one hundred thousand men, snd their ardor in the couse is unabated, whilst their Asiatic and other allies are firm and unwavering in their support. The Ruesians in Paris, however, persevere in stating that the day is fast epprosching for the utter ruin of the Turkish power, both in Europe and Asia, and they speak ofthat event as already accomplished. Our despatches bring the war narrative to the mo- ment of the sailing of the Atlantic. The news brought from India to England by the overland mail is of a gloomy character. Peguis overrun by hordes of iamrgents, acting, it is said, morning at @ quarter to eight by advice of the King of Ava, and it is more than | probable that the ruling country will flad herself forced to attempt to reconquer the territory at great cost. Reports were rife in the Northwestera pro- vinces that a Russian army had advan:ed to within ten deys march of Oorgane, the commercial capital of Khiva. The King of Persia was assembling a large army in Sultanieb. In China the rebel forces moved so rapidly that it was thought the reign of the Mantchoo dynasty would soon terminate. The society known as the “Triad Association” was still increasing, and had mavifested its strength by the capture of Shaughae ‘and other cities. It was composed of the rabbie of the country. Yesterday John Mitchel, the {!lustrious Irish exile, arrived here in the Prometheus, from San Francisco. The people were greatly excited, and cordially welcomed bim to New York.

Our intelligence from Washington this morn'ng will no doubt be read with attention by every person who prides himself on being well posted up with re- gard to the affairs of the nation. There seems to be a general concurrence in the belief that before the close of the first day of next year General Pierce will be convinced of the necessity of reconstructing ‘his Cabinet—otherwise, there will undoubtedly be a storm such as was never before known in the party pelitics of our country. Read the despatches. A large meeting of Poles and democrats of all nations tock e last evening to celebrate the twenty-third apniversary of the Pclish revolution, We give a report of the proceedings in another part of our paper. The Board of County Canvassers met yesterday and received the returns of the Tweutieth werd as corrected. The body then proceeded t» canvass the Fourth ward returns, whereupon a protest was pre- sNted from P. H. Maguire, in which it was alleged that the inspectors in the fourth election di: of ibat ward counted the votes and declared the nua- ber received by each of the three candidates for the Assembly on the evening of the election, and on the next merning, after the votes had remained in an expored box during the night, they again counted them and declared an entirely different result. Oo motion the returns were, by @ vote of three to one, rent back to the inspectors that they might attach to them a ticket of cach candidate. At the Board of Supervisors last evening Alder- man Tiemann was called to the chair, but as neither the Mayoror Recorder was present no business was transacted beyond the readiog of the minutes of the last meeting, after which the Board adjourned til! this evening. The Board of Assistant Aldermen last evening disposed of a number of documents, amongst which was a communication from the Mauhattan Railroad Coinpany, incorporated under the act of the Legis- lature pasced April 2d, 1850, asking for the privilege of laying a railroad from Mapvhattanville to the Bat- tery, through Broadway. Assistant Alderman Bou- ton offered a resolution askiog the consen’ of the Mayor and Aldermen to authorise the said company in carrying out the object of their commaunicatioa. The resvlution was laid on the table. The fortieth annual meetiog of the Association for the Relief of Respectable Aged Indigent Females was held yesterday at the asylum, in Twentieth street. The annual regzort was read by the Rev. Dr. Hawkes, who also made a bricf address. The present number of inmates of the asylum is eighty- seven, of whom forty-eight are Americans. There is alsoa considerable number of out-door pension- ers, who are allotted two dollars a month each in the winter, and one dollar daring the spring and fall. The expenses for the past year amounted to $7,388, or $267 more than the receipts. A full report of the proceedings of the association will be published hereafter. Like our columns this morning, the various places of amusement in the city are crowded to excess, and in frequent instances pleasure-seekers are unable to gain admission before the performances commence. ‘This being the case, it is unnecessary to occupy space with a more minute description of the attrac- tions held out at each establishment this evening than is given in the different advertisements. By the way, speaking of advertisements reminds us of the fact that a!l of them generally contain interest ing and often very important information that is entirely overlooked and lost by a hasty or izattentive reader. We have had in type for the past two days, and sba!l tomorrow pvblish the annual report of the City Comptroller. Amoug other important items this document will show to what extent our citizens are taxed for dirty streets. Thursday is the Jast day for filing notes of issue in the United States District and other law courts of this city. In addition to a great variety of local and other intelligenze unavoidably omitted today is the following:—Lectures by Rev. Dr. Vinton on “Yhe Merchant, or the Progress and Influ- ences of Commerce,’ and by Rev. Henry | Giles on “ False and Exaggerated Eulogy in Popu- lar Oratory ;” Letters and News Extracts from Mexico, Buenos Ayres, Texas, Nashville, and other querters of the American Continent ; Communic tions upon various subjects, &. The Twin Mantfestoes of the Cabinel—The Choice Offered to Congress. The closer we read the articles from the Warthington Union and the Richmond Zn- | quirer, which were republished in yesterday’s | Henavp, the higher appears the importance to be attached to them. They cannot be regarded | in any other light than as manifestoes from the | Cabinet, indicative as well of its real feelings es as of the course it intends to pur- | sue, wed thus they are pregnant with matter for thought and reflection. The period n for their promulgation shows pretty that they were mainly intended to mn the minds of the new members of ss, and, if possible, to counteract the wing sympathy among men of all parties with the nationals of New York. It is upon | the pricciples therein enunciated that the ad- ministration calls for Congressional support. It is npon the policy therein foreshadowed that Mr. Marey and his colleagues stake their official existence and pledge their political reputation. If thore principles and that poliey do not find favor with a majority of the members of Con- grees, the present admivistration will then have to choose between an ignominious and ungentlemanly retention of offce, contrary to the wirhes of the people, and a resignation at the earliest convenience of the Executive. If. on the other hand, a majority of Congress con- eur in the doctrines these twin manifestoes expose, the administration may slumber in peace, and the nationals will be compelled to some new course of tactics. it is, therefore. of the highest importance thet those to whom the decision of this weighty matter je confided should clearly realize the » of the iesue placed before them. Con- eresemen cannot too closely study its bearings. as well upon the future destiny of this couatry own prospects of advancement un | and des as upen and success in life. On the one side they have a party which ac the settlement of all the old political questions as a fact accomplished vd but one point—the preservation of a ust aquil um Wy n North and South ] worth contending fi On the otber, they have a ( et which repudiat ] thought of the | } ‘ that th | scout tea of a party f thereupon tribution of the spoile~as a fit basis for the ruling political party in this country. We do not think that any one who has carefully read the manilestocs we published yesterday will _ TLe watipes ot fewt imegined We crew w bp goda | charge us with misrepresenting their tenos if we pace it in this shape. Detween these two Congress must cho. se. Some o” the new members will be better qualified to make their election if they retrace the political history of this country for the last two or three years, Ia 1850 the Union had a narrow ecape. Fonaties from the North and fanatics ‘rom the South made desperate on- slaugbts upon the fundamental principle on whieh it rests. Fach strove vigorously to up- set the existing equilibrium and to give the preponderance to its owu section, There was & time when conciliation ani adjustment of the conflicting pretensions of the contending parties seemed impossible. The difficulty was over- come, however, by the immortal Clay, who, with aid of such ailies as Cass, Calhoun and Webster, once more frustrated the designs of the divunionists, and postponed fora time the threatened injury to our national existence. To the measure by which this signal triumph was achieved the appropriate name of the compromise was given. It coutained no new principle, no new application of an old one ; but was merely a reaiirmation of the doctrine on which our constitution was formed nearly a century ago, and which had since been constantly recognized and put in practice. The news of the passage of this law was received with general satisfaction by the people, though men Were not wanting. among the extreme fac, tions on either side, to denounce it furiously, and to proclaim their conviction that it would sustained by the country. The Presi- anvass of 1852 was anxiously awaited to decide the question. When Franklin Pierce was nominated it was publicly given out that he took his stand on the compromise, and would stand or full with that measure. His candidateship was in part the candidateship of the compromise. We may be permitted to add that it was in that light we viewed it, and to that impression on our owa part that he owed the support he received from the Heratp. Against him was pitted one of the noblest of nature’s chivalry—a man against whose char- acter not a single imputation could be whisper- ed, whose services’ to his country entitled him tothe highest reward ske could bestow, and whose promotion to the Presidential chair might have given fresh eclat to the office, but could not have added lustre to the name of Scott. He, too, was so convinced that the compromise was the only point in politics for which the people cared, that he endeavored to cutdo his rival in his professions of fidelity to that mea- sure; but, unfortunately, his chief supporters were taken from among its most bitter oppo- nents, and it was hardly possible to dis- criminate between the two. In the dilem- not be centi ma, prudence dictated as the safer course, that, all other things being equal, the preference should be given to him who was not the choice of William H. Seward. Accordingly, with the sole thought of the compromise before their eyes, the people of this country elected Franklin Pierce by an overwhelming majority. There was no doubt as to the fact. Every one knew*why his neigh- bor voted for Pierce, and did not strive to con- ceal his own reasons for doing likewise. Gen. Pierce recognized it in his inaugural; and cer- tainly, from the tone of that document, the peo- ple had every reason to believe that his admin- istration, like his election; would be wholly and -thorougbly based on the compromise, To the horror and amazement of every one the Cabinet was selected from its enemies. Jefferson Davis, well known as a Southero s2- cessionist ; Caleb Cushing, a Maszachuactts coalitionist; William L. Marey, an advocate for conciliating the free scilers, were called to power. This was the first practical violation of the compromise. Others soon followed. Free soilers and secessionists were freely ap- pointed to office. Staunch friends of the com- promise were ostracised. The Cabinet inter- fered in New York on behalf of the Van Buren free soilers; in Mississippi, to defeat Foote, one of the fathers of the compromise; in Georgia, to support McDonald, the secessionist leader; in Alabama, to throw overboard Col. Clemens, a Unionman. Acts more emphatically opposed to the spirit of the compromise could not be devised. For a while the Cabinet was ashamed of them. and though its members acted openly they spoke falsely—pretending to adhere to the compromise in words while they broke it daily in deeds. But even this flimsy disguise wore out. A time came when they thought they could? venture to throw off the mask, and the manifestoes for the Richmond Enquirer and the Washington Union were written. These took ground boldly against the compromise, derided the notion of a party framed,on its basis, and embodied in words the principles which had prompted the previous acts of the Cabinet. If, ona calm review of this narrative—-and we do not think its accuracy can be impeached ~-the members of Congress resolve to support the adiministration, on their heads be the respon- sibility. The year 1852 is not so far distant that the popular sentiment on the subject of the compromise can be mistaken ; and those promi- nest men inthe Senate and House who ex- pect to appeal at some future day to that sentiment for the realization of their ambi- tious hopes, will do well to meditate on the matter ere they endorse a policy di- reetly hostile to the public verdict of last year. The masses are not apt to forgive such treachery, as many a man living can tes tify. Nor can the young men, whose career is all before them, venture to ally themselves with an administration obviously faithless to its pledges without endangering their whole hopes in life, At no distant period the attitude occupied by members of Congress in this com- ing December will be regarded as the best test of their political soundness. The votes taken in the course of the next fortnight will consti- tute the citizens’ manual. and will be his guide when hereafter his support is solicited for a candidate. Those who, in this critical moment, stood forth boldly for the Union and honor, will be the men who will ever afterwards command public confidence. The names of those who ranged themselves on the side of disunion and the spoils will soon disappear from the newe- papers, and sink into merited obscurity.

For the kindness shown by Mr. Redfield to such newspapers it must be ex. pected ihat Wm. H. Seward will vote for his confirmation in the Senate of the United States; and probably this ig done mainly to effogt that object. It is another proof that free soilers and abolitionists united are the principal friends of an administration which was carried into power by the force of the compromise and Union sentiments of the country. The Stool Pigeon Candidate for the Clerk: ship. We are still told that Col. Forney’s chances of suecess are good. The Washington press still speaks confidently of his election. This surely cannot be. There cannot, surely, be a stool pigeon majority in Congress. That honor- able body cannot contain a hundred members who approve of enticing a man to drink in order to draw from him confessions involving the honor of a defenceless woman. There cannot be a majority that would associate with a man who had acted as agent to suborn evidence for such a purpose. There cannot be a majority that would deliberately testify its approval of such practices by promoting their author to a post of honor and trust. No; we will not be- lieve that even half the representatives of the American people hold manly honor so cheap as to overlook such conduct as that of Col. Forney. If he is electéd it can only be from an ignorance of his antecedents. And lest, from any accident, there be a single member who has not read that all-important exhibit— the Forney Letter—we again republish it for their benefit :-— COL. FORNEY TO GEORGE ROBERTS. [private] Puaverreia, Jan. 25 1850 Our friend Forrest is now here, and is about to -apply fora divorce trom his wife. He has bad for eighteea months the proofs of her infidelit; it has chosen to keep them quiet, and would nave done sostiil, but forthe folly in eensuring }im for leaving her. It is really as- tevishirg how he kept there proofs to himself—from all his friends—for ali that time. tit is so, nevertheless, The facts sre briefly these :—Kighteen months ago, while playing in Cincineati, he caught Mrs. F, ina very ‘equivocal position with a youog man in his own parlor.

Upon this evidence, with other contirmatory proofs, he intends applying to our Legislature for a divorce. but you are now in » position to serve him in a manner he never will forget. The perron who wrote to Mra. For rest, and in whose company sha was detected, ix George Jamieson, now playing in New Orleans. If you don't know him, you can, as the editor of a leading paper, soon make his acquainiance. What Forrest cow desires to clinch the nail, is, to obtain, in some way, an admission from Jamieson, Inamed you to himas a safe, stesdy, and intelligent iriead, and he never will forget whatever you may do for bim in this, to him. a mort vitel matier. He suggests that you might institute intimate relations with J, and then inte him. either in your presence or in com pany, toadmit as a thing to be proud af, his connestion with ‘Mrs. F Heis fond of a glass, and poswilly, in a convivial mocd, might be wmmunicatine. So harm will come to uim; he ts gemetoo small for Forrest, ond any admirsion he may make may be im- ‘tant on'y as aiding an injured man in getting re isved rem anow hateful bond. Can you manage this thing, my friend? It will require skill and caution, and, if euo cessful, will warm'y endear you to Forrest. ‘He is nearly cruzy at thé idea of being placed in his present position; but he will spend half he i; worth to be relieved from it. This matter must be kept secret. Above all, dovot pame me in connection with it. Excuse me for troubling you in regard to it. My ardent attachment Now, won’t you to glorious Forrest must be my excuse. help to relieve him? It would help in the matter, probably, to know that John Green, the actor, now in New Orleans, is the warm friend of Forrest, and may know Jamieson well. You can we your own discretion in lettiog him know the facts, and inveking bis aid. This letter ia addressed to you with the knowledge of Forrest Please write as oon after reosipt as you can find oppor- tapity to look about you. With kind regards fam, dear Roberts, yours, very truly. JOHN W. FORNEY. Geo. Robe: ti, Esq. It was this letter, as everybody knows, which ruined Forrest’s case. A thrill of horror per- vaded court and jury at the bare thought of so base a plot, and from that moment Forrest's hopes were completely destroyed. If such were the effect of the letter on the character of the man who, after all, stood in the back- ground, and might not have been cognizant of the atrocity of the echeme by which his syco- phant intended to carry out his purpose, what impression must it leave on the minds of honest men with regard to John W. Forney ? One has only, in fact, to consider what would bave occurred had the writer and the recipient of the letter been men of equal honor and equal delicacy, and the propositions it contained been executed faithfully. Just fancy Roberts, “as the editor of a daily paper,” intriguing to make the acquaintance of the poor actor whose popu- larity depended in a messure on his criticisms ; inviting him to bar-rooms—perhaps to dinner— there, finding that “ he was fond of a glass,” plying the bottle, watching his companion’s face with fiendish craft, and dexterously turning the conversation on bygones, and past loves. Then he would Ict fall, carelessly, Mrs. For- rest’s name: poke Jamieson—by this time rather tipsy—in the ribs: call him a “sly dog.” and a hero among the women. The bottle would pass reund afresh, and the tempter would probably adopt the common ruse of asserting the facts he wished to ascertain as though they were notorious. As Jamieson’s faculties became denser his Mephistopheles would strike his fist on the table and asseverate, with an oath, that to have shared Mrs, Forrest’s love were the noblest tri- umph a man could win. Poor Jamieson might have sense enough to be truthful still; but another glass or two, afew more flattering allu- sions to “common report,” “your well known Uonnes fortunes. old tellow,” &e., would pro- bably beguile the wretched man into a lying acknowledgment of the justice of the compli- ment. This point once gained, the scene would change. The entertainer would terminate the feast—send his victim home in a carriage; and the next that he would hear of his evening de- bauch would be the fall and circumstantial account of his admissions given in the evidence of his treacherous friend. If things were not so—-if this infernal ont- age has not been commudtted—it has not been Col. John W. Forney’s fault. All that de- pended upon him to realize the seene we have described was done, even to the hint that For- rest “would epend half his fortune” to be suc- cessful. We cannot believe that a majority of Congress would dishonor themselves and dix grace the American name by electing such a man as this to an office of trast. Whether they do or not, it is satisfactory to know that the votes will be formally taken and the names re- corded. Weshall thus be enabled to know who they are who constitute the honest and who the stool pigeon party in Congress.

H. Sew- ardin the North is the T'ridune of this city; and it is constantly declaring itself opposed to slavery agitation, while it is at the same time continually endeavoring to agitate the subject in the most practical and offensive manner in its power. In its very issue of yesterday it has an editorial article containing the usual cant | declarations disapproving of slavery agitation, while it gives in another portion of the same she:t nearly two columns of what it calls facts of slavery, which are practically more an agita- tion of the subject than anything could be short of the actual discussion of the question or the publication of another Uncle Tom’s Cabin. We may say the same thing of the Times which is another of Seward’s organs. The truth is that the Seward party have no- thing left of their capital stock in trade but slavery and” its agitation. All the other issues of anti-masonry, anti-rentism, and of the demol- ished whig party, are past and gone—used up and consigned to the tomb of the Capulets. Anti-masonry served its day: anti-rentism is nearly out of date: the United States bank and the tariff create no discussion now-a-days; and nothing is left Seward and his organs but the agitation of slavery in every possible way, while they are all the time declaiming against the renewal of such a discussion.
