Prince Gortschakoff (not the General) arrived at Vien- waon the 4th July, being the bearer of the official reply of Rusela to Austria. The precise terms of the reply have not transpired, but Gortschakoff also carried an ‘autograph letter from Nicholas to the Emperor of Aus- ‘tri, the tenor of which is said to be, that by evacuating ‘Wallachia, and leavingfree the Danube, the Czar con- elders that ho satisfies the reasonable demands of Aus- ‘tria. Moldavia will not be evacuated, as the occu. pation of ‘that frincipality is a necessary guar- ‘antee for the conditions of a future treaty of peace. Col. Manteuffel arrived on the 6th at Berlin from St. Petersburg, with the Crar’s reply to Prussia. This re- ply is in courteous terms, stating that the Ozar will con- sent to resign his exclusive protectorate over the Greek “Christian, if Turkey will accede to the joint protectorate ‘of the five Powers. The Czar will evacuate the Princi- spalities when tife Western Powers évacuate Turkey, but he will retain a strong military position in Moldavia, as a provisional secarity. The Czar also sent Col. Isakoff to Dresden with a ‘friendly autograph letter to the King of Saxéhy and other sovereigns who were represented in the Bamburg Conference. FROM THE BALTIC.

The battle lasted during two days, and the Rus- asians lost 2,00 killed. They, however, made geod their retreat. The Russians continued their concentration towards “the Sereth and Prath, but apparently mean to retarn to |- Matechin, Itstchka and Tultscka, on the right bank of the Danube. ‘The plan of the campaign and the movements of the -ellied army are kept profoundly seqret.

The Homestead bill is cons(dered as dend in the Senate. Great efforts are being made to procure the ratification of the Reciprocity and Fishery treaty; Mr. Marcy be- lieving it to be popular in Now York, and its enocess therefore, ax absolutely necessury to hin re-estadlish- ment as the head of ‘the democratic party in the State. We are assured by prominent Senators, however, tit unl ho President sees fit to call an extra session of the tenate, there is no possible probability of # decision being arrived at this year. Mr. Mason intended to have it up for discussion both yesterday and to-day, but the Senato was so evidently disinclined that he did not make the attempt.

MORE PETITIONS AGAINST SLAVERY, Mr. Sunes, (free scil) of Mass., presented a memorial of the Pennsylvania Society for the Abolition of Slavery, urging the repeal of the Fugitive Slave law. Mr. Sumsee, after presenting the memorial, said—Among the reasons assigned by the memorialists is one to which I feel it my duty to call particular attention. They show that by the operation of the tenth section of the fagi- tive bill, which gives conclusive foree to 8 record made bebind the: back of the alleged fugitive, a free colored Person, with positive evidence of freedom, may be surrendered to slavery; and they ada, ‘this ts not an imaginary cuse, but is substantially descriptive of one which has Seared occurred. A colored man, who had resided in Philadelphia from childhood, and proved by competent witnesses to be a free man, has been reluc- tantly consigned to # claimant in Georgia, by a United States ccmmimioner in Delaware, under the authority of the section alluded to. Referrence is here made to the interest'ng ease of Edward Davis, who escaped from Georgia, himself under the a.steamer, ins most petted rte hie acho A “ pers y to tl accompa- Byiog the memorial i one which states that the Comes. ner declared that he would give fifty dollars cheerfully to be be relesred from making the decision, and that on account of it be lost two nights sleep, and had no comfort while in church on Sunday. No wonder at this; {t wasan early waxii of the common lew that;‘‘it were better that one hundred guilty perzons should escape than that one imnocent person should suffer.’’ A wise man of anti- quity remarked, in words ciien admired, that in hi opini the best government was that under which wrong toa single eltizen was resented as an injury t the whole commonwealth; and, sir, only at this session Congress has offered its homage to an American officer who, in a distant sea, interpoaed the pewer of the gov ernment to sbield the liberty of an obseure person wh claimed his protection. If the spirit of this act and o there sentiments here, an outrage like tha deseribed by the memernnes ' oe noage withon arousing at once jignant judgme: ingress I ew fie reference of the memorial te the Committe on tbe Judiciary. Mr. Cray, (dem.) of Ala.—The Senator quotes from an old saying in the common law. There is another, sir, t» be derived from higher suthority, from the sayings of the wise mpn of Isracl—“‘The will retura to his vomit.’’ Ido not expect, sir, that we shall be*able to anything in the shape of argument, and I hold myself ready at avy time and at ali times to meetit. 1 hold myself also at all times ready to meet who keeps within the rules and orders man is wy peer; but aSnator who does not keep within the rules and the orders of debate is not my peer. Mr. Dawson, Sg of Ga —I should say nothing on this subject, if te which I have the to rep- raying. I suppose he justifies himself sentation of facts made in that petition. I only beg say to the Sepate, and through them tothe that the allegations contained in the petition are correct ; and I feel that this is not the proper place wet afloat as facts, statements which have foundation. Now, sir, it so happens > Soe with Col.

I recommended to him that if there was the least belief whatever that the boy Davis wa a freo person of color, Judge Nesbit, late of the Supreme Court of should be em; to inves- ttgate the case. Col. Dean, know! that the laws of the country should be invoket, to try whether he was a free person of color or not. He is now im Georgia, and the question can be tried there. A cor- respondence has taken place on the subject between Mr. Dean and some in juals at Wilmington. Mr. Dean stated to them that the boy was there, and that if any of them believed that he was a free person and could con- vince him such was the fact, be would be the last man in the world to retain im slavery any one who was not a slave. The matter passed off in that way; but the honor- able «nator from Massachusetts to day has set it afloat througheut the whole country, that by the laws of the United States, and by the decision of & commissioner in the State of Delaware, a free man has been sent into slavery If! were to ask the Senator if he made this state ment from avy knowledge of his own, he would say that he did not, but that he spoke from the representations contained in this petition, Now, sir, 1 submit to him and to the country, whether tt is proper thus to attempt to excite sectional jeslousies upon a pre«umed state of jacts, and whether it is justifiab'e to allow those per- sons who are governed by prejudice or facaticism, or any other feeling whatever, to make this body an inatra ment by which they may circulate their statements, when it isknown, or ought to be known, that they are not true.

I., we learn that the unfortanate vessel is still ‘ash re, bat lying easy in fourteen feet: of wator, broadside em: the'bench. The sea being very: calm; all the pas’ sengers, te the number of one. hundred ‘and ‘forty, were landed in safety and conveyed by: separate trainacnthe Long lalend Railroad, one starting from the scene of the occurrence on Monday and two others arriving here:yesterday afternoon. Among the passengers of. the Franklin were twelve nuns from Italy, nine: of them: belonging te the Order of Jesuite, and three to the Ortier of the Sacred Heart, who were met on the arrival *of the train at the South ferry, Brooklyn, by Ma deme Hardy, Lady. Superior: of the: Nunnery at Monhattanvillc, who, on hearing of the disaster te the F., lost no time in meeting the expected wayfar ers, who will ne doubt be well cared for in the up- per part of the islend. The Board of Underwriters have sent down the Tequisite assistance'to the beach, including three steamers and twovechooners, for the purpose ofsav- ing the valuable. cergo, which. is estimated to be worth nesrly three millions of dollars, the goods being cent on here for supplying the fall trade of our leading dry goods amd fancy goods merchants. The Franklin wae built here in 1849. She has been very fortunate im making her trips, heretofore, ana was considered-one. of the finest veasels afloat. She is valued at $310,000, which is fully covered by insurance ia New Yook:and other cities. If the weather continues fine, and the wind does not happen to shift around to the eastward, the ves- nel will no doubt be got off in a few days; but if, om thé contrary, thd: weather should be unpropitious, then, from tho nature of fhe beach, it. will be some weeks before she is set afloat. None of the officers-or men of the Franklin have reached the city yet; we believe, there being, tea much’ work in store for them on board thelr vessel. ADBITIONAL. We are informed by: a passenger who arriv- ed: lant evening from the beach, that: the ship when: she. first went on, stopped abeut 600 feet from the. beach, end during. the. night. of Moa- day, went up about.300 feet nearer. She is laying broudside on, with aJist off shore.. The inshore wheel is about four feet out of water. Some of the residents say. they. consider it extremely doubtfal ag to her getting off, as a bar is. forming outside of ber. All. the. paasengers and mails haye been landed in safety, and are in the city; fifty came up inthe cars. last evening.
