Tm the mails of the Africa we fiad but few fea- fares 0 interest, The non-ent-y of the Austrians Into Wallachia is exp'a ned by the intrigues of the *Proesian cabinet, which, under cover of a complaint ‘hat Austria has departed from the stipulations of their separate convention, has persuaded the latter ‘to grant another month’s delay before the tareat- med occupation takes place. Another notive to quit has been addressed to the Czar, and if at the <e@nd of the month no answer is re‘urned the Aus- triaus will proceed to execute their threat, (that is to say, if they can,) of driving the Russians out of the Principalities. Our private letters convey to us the details of tue preparations making by the Czar at Warsaw for the fevasion of Gallicia and Havgary, and which are on the most formidable scale. It is intended to form immediately an army of one hundred and fifty thou- @and men for this purpose, to be followed by other corps as fastas they can be brought up. ‘The minor German States are said to have all, with the exception of Wurtemburg, promised to Give their adhesion in the Dict to the Austro-Prus- -sian treaty. We are disposed to question tho a:cn racy of this assertion, not only from the previous attitude of Bavaria and Saxony, but fromthe facts that are transpiring with regard to Prussia itself, and to which we allade more fully in anether co lump.

It is probable that a formidable attack has beon by this time made by the combined fleets upon S$ Dastopol. Fifty-eight sail had been sighted ssilivs @irect for that port.

There were sales made of about 400 bales of cotton, in transitu, and about 600 do. on the spot, ‘at about one quarter cent decline on Mon4ay’s qnota- tions, especially on low or ordinary graies; fine ‘qualities were in light stock. There was more activity in the tobacco market, with increased sales of Kentucky leaf, though without change of mo- ment in quotations. Caba siuscovado molasses was better, and he!d in some cases at an advance of two cents per gallon. Sugars were tolerably active, and pretty firm. There were increased transactions in ‘New Orleans, which varied in prices from 4} to ‘jc, for common to fair, and 5c.a 5jc., with one lot at je. for prime. * FROM MEXICO, Dates from the city of Mexico to the 17th ‘nat. have been received.

The resolution of isqniry iato this matter, introduced in the Honse ot Represents. tiven yesterday, and laid aside under the rales, will no doubt be revewed at the first opportuvity; asd rbould en investigation take place into the vircum stances of this proceeding, we have no besitation ia predi ting that the resolt wil) prove the whole af tair to be anything but creditable to its promoteny, THE POWNING COURT MABTIAL. We continue in another part of today’s paper the report of the testimony taken on tae trial by court mertial of Capt.

Our special despatch contains seme intelligence regarding tze movementa of the politicians of this State that is quite interesting. In the Senate yesterday the Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bill was debated and finally passed. Among the amendments adopted we observe one ¢ wcreasing the salaries of our Ministers to Paris and London to fifteen thousand dollars per annnm—out The clerks in the mints. and offices of the sub-treasurers were Mr. Douglas keeps a bright look out for the interests of hia pets, Nepraska and Kansas.

Various other amendments were offered and discussed, avd at alate hour in the afternoon The conference committee on the Injian Appro and the bill passed. In the House a preamble and resolution setting that there is pending between the Court of Madrid and the govenment of the United States questions affecting the honor and interest of this country, the Executive to insure the observance of our just Tights, &c., were offered, but objection being made they were uot received. Some two months ago we predicted that the administration had determined to protract the difficulties .with Spain so as to leave them in an unsettled condition when Congress adjourned, and thus have an excase for asking an appropriation of several millions of dollars, to be placed at the disposal of the President during the recess. This precions scheme is now about being carried out. The official organ has broken ground on the subject in a carefally pro- pared article, which closes with the remark :—“ We do not suppose that Congress will adjourn without placing withinfthe disposal of the Executive the means necessary to enable him to act efficiently in any emergency that may arise during the recess.” Here, then, is a decided attempt to get hold of the surplus yet remaining in the treasury, which the ten million Gadsden swindle failed to swallow up wholly. An ineffectual effort was made to introduce a reso- lution calliog for information concerning the de. struction of San Juan. Tho bill regulating the pay and increasing the efficiency of the army was taken up and discussed until the adjournment. ‘The News from Europe—Russia Preparing to Invade Austria, The intelligence brought by the Africa leaves the European question pretty much in the same position in which it stood at the date of our previous advices. The Austrians have not as yet entcred Wallachia, and the Russians still oceupy Bucharest. The persuasions of the Prussian Cabinet had succeeded in post- pon'ng for another month the entry of the Austrian troops into the Principalities, in order to give time for a reply from the Czar to another and more peremptory summons. If no answer be returned, it is then understood that Austria will pour her troops into the Princi- palities, and proceed to execute the conditions of her conyent'on with the Western Powers by endeavoring to drive the Russians back upon their own frontiers. These facts demon- strate the accutacy of ihe etatement that Austria ie now prepared to co-operate with the coalition to the full eatent of its objects. Thoy eto show that Prussia is using every effort to throw obstacles in the way of her action, and to gain the time necessary to enable the Czar to complete the formidable preparations which he is now making Yo push an invading army from Warsaw, where troops have been for come time concentrating for the purpose, iuto those provinces of the Austrian empire in which the revolutionary elements are most rife, and in which, if he does not meet with much sympathy from the popalation, he may at least calenlate on pot encountering a very determined re- tletance. Beddes the indacemenis which this prospect holds out, the movement, in a strategic point of view, is the most advantageous one that the Russian Emperor can at present undertake. His advance into Gallicia will be protected on the right by the neutrality, if not the active co-operation, of Prussia, and on the left by the strong positions which he holds in Moldavia. The supplies for his. armies will not only be drawn from Poland, batfrom the Prassian ter- ritories; for even’ at, the present moment, though the Berlin al net is ostensibly acting with the coalition large import trade is car- ried on, through, “Medinm of the Prussian ports, with the imteggwr of Russia. An Ameri- can gentleman with whom we had lately the pleasure of conversing, and Who has just re- tarned from Europe, confirms this intelligence by the statement that he met thirty thousand wagons laden with French and Eaglish goods, travelling from the frontiers of Prassia to St, Petersburg. The lucrative trade thas carried on through her territories would in itself, if ao trong political motives existed to throw doubts on the sincerity of her conduct, be suticient tc explain the repugnance which Prussia bv mani- forted to be drawn into active hostilitios against the Czar. From these facts, it is evident that the whole ‘runt of the Russian operations will now be directed against Austria. So long as tha: ower is in a condition to give effect to its n waces. any attempt on the part of* tu Czar to porsue the campaign on thy Turkich side would be impolitic, and perhay even fatal to his designs. Great as are the re- sources that he can bring into the field, they mnet inevitably be crushed in a position ia whch be would be cut off from all supplies by the bill passed by a vote of twenty-five to sixteen. priation bill reported. ‘Lhe report was accepted, forth that the President has communicated the fact and pla ing ten millions of doliars at the disposal of sea. and, in the event of the chain of commani- eutfon w'th Poland and the Crimea being in- terrupted, even with hia own territories, N man cf the kart military foresight would ter plate the probability of pursuing ~ paign under such disadvantages. ~ ith the Anglo-French and Turkish cont’ carted by the fleets in the Black | Free os hl his advanec. and the forces of qn .¢etq ready to fall upon hia rear, his armic” , must inevitably be hemmed in on every side gnd ent to pieces, Al- though, therefore, the eyssiana have not as yet entirely evacuated "yaltachia. it is clear that ‘the partial retrogr ¢de movement that has taken place on the lir¢ ottne Sereth will be immndi- ately Mllowe 4 up by the abandoament of Bu- charyst ar.4 such other positions in the lower Petre patity as continue in their possession, ‘and tle concentration of such « foree from north to soath of Moldavia as will suftiee for the pro- tection of their own froutiers. In this quarter, and along the coasts in the Black Sea, we may therefore assume that for some time to come the «perations of the Rusaiang will be strictly defensive. For the safety of Sebastopol and the Crimea, notwithstanding the fornidable. efforts that are about to be di- rected against them, there is but little to ap- prebend, The Russians will here bo fighting ov their own territory. aud will not be demor- alized by the fear of having their communica- tions cut off, and their rear menaced by Austrian troops. As long as they keep their ships with- in the shelter of the fortifications of Sebastopol, and trust to their granite walle and sub-marine batteries, they will have nothing to fear from the cautious courage of Admirals Hamelin and Dundas, As regards the war on the Asiatic side, we may, therefore, as far as active hostilities or decided advantages to either of the belligerent armies are concerned, expect, if no; a tempora- ry suspension, at least such a fecb!e vitality as will scarcely suffice to attract our attention from the more important even‘s of which Gal- licia and Hungary are about to be the theatre. Here all the disposable forces of Russia will be directed, in order to humble or totally crash the treacherous and ungrateful ally whom she so lately saved from destruction, The Hanga- riang, whose victorious assertion of their rizhis was on!y defeated by Muscovite interventiou, will, perhaps, owe their deliverance from Aus- trian despotism to the same powerful arm that before helped to rivet their chains. Stranger revolutions in political feeling than this have before marked the conflicts of great European interests, And the flames of war once lighted up in Germany, who can say when the conflagration will be arrested, or to what important changes in present territorial arrangements they may give rise. Italy, groaning under the iron heel of an oppression the most tyrannical and hatefal that the world ever witnessed, will start up from her pros- trate condition at tae sound of the first tocsin of Russian invasion, and shake off forever the degrading yoke that has enslaved her mind and paralyzed ber energies. There is no exaggera tion in this prospect. Once @ Russian army reaches the gates of Vienna, the death knell of the Austrian monarchy may be said to be rung. Nothing can then prevent the ill assort- ed parts of that unwieldy structure from tum- bling to pieces, and crushing all minor despot- isms in their fall. From its rains there wil) probably arise a number of smaller but more independent States, governed by more enlarged and rational ideas of human rights, and brought more within the circle of popular sympathies. Let the changes, however, that are to follow in the train of approaching events, be what they may, they can lead to nothing but an ameliora- tion in the condition of the suffering masses of the continent. And let it not be supposed that the liberals of Germany and Italy will hesitate to avail themselves of the aid of their former oe. Were he a thousand times blacker than he is painted, they would joyfully hail him as their deliverer. It would be strange if he, who has been hitherto considered the incarnation of despotic ideas, should prove tobe the chosen instrument of God to bring about the general enfrauchisement of the human race. W sid the expl sion between the otd gentleman ot Kinderhook and Gen. Casa at the Baltimore Convention of 1848. Since that unhappy overthrow of the line of succession for the Presidency, as laid down by the democratic Bourt ona, John has been floundering about ia shoal water; and the New York dem»cracy, witb here and there a flash in the pan, have been rap'dly going to the dogs. Heuce the rupture between the Prince and Mr. Sickles. Now, like the old chief Logan, we can “rejoice at the beams of peace.” Look at this correspondence upon that speech at Tammany Hall. Mr. Sickles sends his friend, Major Sibley, for an “explanation,” and is awaiting an answer as “the most obe- dient servant” of the Prince. And the Prince meets the question with the magnanimity and frankness of a true Prince. He says—‘I caa with propriety state that I had no iutention of applying to you the language used by Mr. Downing,”—(meaning George T. Downlag, free colored American, famous for his superb oysters, fried, roasted and stewed, scolloped and raw, and for his opposition to the African Colonization Society.) The Prince had “no intention of applying” Downing’s language to Mr. Sickles. He merely said what Downing had eaid, to amuse the b’hoys of Old Tammany. It was so funny he could not help it. The par- pore of the Prince was simply to show that by a reunion with Mr, Sickles, the Tammany Gemvcracy had lost the support of Mr. Downing and other “respectable black men.”’ Nothing more, The Prince didn’t endorse what Down- ing said, Nota bit ot it, And thus, says Mr. Sanders, is the matter “happily disposed of.” “Blessed are the peace makers.” We should be better pleased, however—we ehould feel a little more secure of the re- storation of the entente cordiale between the parties—had Mr. Sickles acknowledged the seceipt of the Prince’s note, and the satisfactory character of his “explanation.” But we presume it is all right. Mr. Sickles is a man not to be trifled with; but he is alco a man satisfied with a reasonable ex- planation, without pressing his opponent to the wall. He is not the man to frighten an ad- versary into.a capitulation by the levelling of a Kentucky rifle at his head. Nor is Mr. Van Buren tbe man to lose time in quibbling upon techniealities, when a simple statement is the thing required. Now, then, the field is clear before us. Per- haps by the next steamer we shall be informed of a sociable dinner given by our acting consul at London, Mr. Sanders, to Mesers. Sickles, Van Buren, and thir respective friends, and of a Plan adopted at said dinner fer the comfortable reunion ot the divided and distracted New York democracy. We shall never be satisfied of the hearty reconciliation of the princi- pals in this affair, until they shall have dived and wined together, aud materially swallowed Dowving’s words with some of Downing’s choicest shell fish, If there are pone to be had in England, an order chould forthwith be sent over to Downing himself for @ supply of the fattest Shrewsbury or Blue Point oysters, and the best of the clims of Coney Island. At all events, let us rejoice that the Conti- nental tour of the Prince is open before him— that his reconciliation with Sickles may be speedily followed by the reunion of the democratic party, without regard to George T. Downing, the Buffalo plat‘orm or the admin- istration—and that, if the Prince be charged with important diplomatic fanctions at Lon- don, Paris, Madrid, Rome, or Constantinople, let us hope that he may be entirely successfal in his mission, without reference to Marcy’s diplomatic breeches. The Prince did not mean to give offence. in his Tammany speech, to Mr. Sickles, and the gachems of the old wigwam are relieved. “Behold,” say the Scriptures, yea, “behold how good a thing it isfor brethren to dwell together in unity.” Indeed, we may exclaim with the honest Dutchman:—«It ish petter as goot—it ish neish!” 4 Cam- Marcy's Last Exploit—The Ruslan Treaty. The jackass which donned the lion’s akin, aud went about frighteniog greenhorns, seems to have been the prototype of the Hon. William L. Marcy, the Secretary of State. The lion whose skin has been stolen is Benjamin Franklin: the assis before us. Our youthfu) readers wiil re- member how the triumphant’carcer‘of the dis- guised animal in the fable was brought to an untimely end by an indiscreet bray, elicite1 by the eestacy of the unwonted pastime. Mr. Marcy bas not yet brayed in person; but the braying is done so well for him by certain newspaper correspondents, who love to honor him, that his own performance would be superfluous. No oue could mistake him for an instant. He began to steal the lion’s skin as soon as he was installed in office, by issuing his fam us proclamation about diplomatic costume. That was Ben Franklin all over—not the Ben Frank- lin we should have known to-day, had the old sage lived till the year 1854, and enlarged his experience and altered his ideas with each change in the world’s habits and notions—but the statesman of the last century, ignorant of all that has occurred since 1785, and thiakiug and writing as though the world had stood still for the last fifty years. A pare copyist, Mr. Marcy made noalluwance for any changes. Hy. tried to speak in 1854, what Fraaklin wouli have spoken in 1780, and tne consequeace was— what every one might have forcaeen— that, instead of glory, he covered himself with ridicule. The circular on diplomatic costume has afforded the courts of Europe food for merriment for the last twelve months, aud there are places where it is still a standiug joke. It bas got our representatives into all sorts o° petty squabbles, and done no earthly good either to the country or to themselves. Whea Frauklin set the cxample of simplicity in dress to our consular und diplomatic ageate, there was some virtue and especially some appropriateness ia the practice; for Mr. Marcy to preach, in the Tho Case of Daniel E. Sickles and John Van Buren—Pacific and Satisfactory Correspond- ence=Short and Sweet. Our anxi-ty is atan end. We breathe more freely. The alarming m'sanierstanding be- t-een Daniel E. Sickles, (national hard shell democrat, and Secretary of our Legation at London.) and John Van Baren, (free soil Buf- falo, soft shell anti-Nebraska democrat, and the Prince of Tammany Hall,) has been amica- bly adjusted, as will appear trom the following correspondence, which lately took place in London:— 45 Wevaovrm Srresr, PorTLAxp Peace, ) Loxpow, Jaly 14, 1864, 5 ‘TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD, Dear Sm—I have been requested to forward, for publi- cation in the Haz, copies of a correspondence that has just taken place between Daniel E.

Had Benjamin Franklin been called upon in 1853 to write a circular on diplomatic costume, or had he been sent abroad as a foreign minister, he certainly would have taken into account the changes which have taken place in the world’s notions since the close of the last century and we may safely assume that he would neither have advised nor set us the example of aping our forefathers, Had Ben- jamin Franklin been required to-day to make a treaty with Russia, he would have done something more than reiterate the old theories of 1780. He would have remembered that Rus- sia is at present seriously embarrassed by her American possessions which are ‘menaced by the British fleet in the Pacific. He would have. seen at a glance how desirable this addision to our territory would beat the present time; what an advantage it would prove to our whaling interest and what military value it would possess in the event of a disturbance with England. Con- sidering these matters, and remembering the surplus in the treasury, the first point of any treaty with Russia that Benjawin Franklin might have concluded would have been the purchase of Russian America for the United States. We may rely upon it that it would have been concluded by this time had he occu pied Mr. Marcy’s place. We need not say that nothing has yet been done towards this end. Mr. Marcy has probably never thoyght of the subject, and perhaps does not know that Rus- sia bas any territory on this continent. In his eagerness to make capital for himself, he hax too shrewd an appreciation of his own faculties to venture upon any thing original. The lion’s ekin is the thing for him. What a figure he cuts in it, with his newspaper friends braying around him, we leave the people to judge. The story is very simple. Ax far back a3 1779, when England was at war with Spain, two Ras | sian vessels were seized by the Spanish cruisers under the plea that they were carrying sap- plies to Gibraltar. Great Britain tried hard to induce Russia to make this a pretext for de- claring war against Spain; but Catherine, who saw further than most sovereigns, resolve? Crry Apvertmme—THe Herawn’s Prat- rorm.—Comptroller Flagg has favored us with & copy of a printed document, with a written. foot note. inviting us to send in proposals “for pablishinz, twice a week, for seven weeks, the- redemption notice of the sale of April, 1853, for unpaid assessments. Alco, the redemption notice of the gale of April, 1853, for unpaid taxes of the year 1851. Also, the redemption notice of the sale of May, 1853, for unpaid Croton water repts of the year commencing May Ist, 1851, and ending April 30,1852. The notices to be inserted in the body of the paper, and not in a supplement, and the pablishers to furnish 1,500 copies of the redemption notice of each sale, in: pamphlet form, to be folded, stitched, and de- livered to the Department. And, also, to cause notices to be published twice a week, for seven weeks, in twelve daily papers published in the city of New York, stating where the de- tailed notices are published and can be pro- cured, and to furnish affidavits and copies of all such publications.” We cannot afford to waste our valuable time in making apy such proposals, fur sundry weighty reasous. The principal objection that we have to this way of doing business is caused by the fact :bat the persons having control of the city and county advertising never take- into consideration the circulation of the several newepapers, in comparison to the price de- manded by each. Now, for this job, sun- éry email morning and evening journals, having circulations varying from five. hun- dred to two thousand, will put in at absurdly Jow rates, and probably get it. As their circu- lation is emall, and advertising patronage limit- ed, they cun afford to fill up their paper with this matter, and make it lucrative, at a price which would not pay for the ink consumed in printing one edition of the Heratp. There are two or three of these papers that will bid ‘or this job as low per line as will pay for setting up the type. As their space is worth nothing to themselves or any body else, this is probs- bly right, and they save the setting up of fresh matter until the advertisement runs out. As the supplement dodge is cut off, the job wiil not be so fat as formerly, when the Wall street Journals exchanged the type and saved expen- sive composition, We are, therefore, obliged to decline all of- fers from the Common Council, until ihe city is ready to pay a fair price for its work. We see no reason why the city should not pay as well a8 the chambermaid. San Juan de Nicaragua—The Demand for an Apology. We have shown in a previous article, that the town of San Juan de Nicaragua, so bravely burned by Capt. Hollins, of the Cyane, was an American town, governed and principally own- ed by Americans. It was about the only spot io all Central America where civil liberty and religious tolerance had taken root. Ita destrac tion was, therefore, not only an outrage upou Amcricans, but upon civilization. We stated yesterday that, in 1852, both the United States and Great Britain entered iato an agreement ‘to maintain the statu quo in Sax Juan. That is to say, to support, the govern- ment of that place, which was made up of Americans. Lord Clarendon, in his despatch to Mr. Crampton, dated July 22, 1853, says :— United States governments, to reapec:ive naval commenters in Central America, directing them tora iP Pettienent of the Central tinerfan quaston, the de fcc f government of San Juan. , That such instructions were issued to the United states commanders, and acted upon by them, is notorious; for when the authorities of San Juan proposed wholly to discard the nomi- nal sovereignty of Mosquito, Commodore Parker, of the United States home sqaadroa, Tefused to sanction the change of flag, “ pend- ing the settlement of the question between Nicaragua and Mosquito.”’ San Juan was regarded in Nicaragua, and by the people of the port itself, as under the joint protection of the United States and Great Britain. The United States government order- ed its officers to recognize and sustain the de Facto government. Mr. Solon Borland, there- fore, in resisting the efforts of the government of San Juan to arrest a man charged with the crime of murder, committed within the jurisdiction of San Juan, was gullty of a gross and unjastia- able outrage. By this act he divested himself of any privilege which might be supposed to at- tach to his official character as minister or ex- minister, and rendered himself amenable to punishment. The government of the United States not only had recognized the authorities of San Juan, and instructed its naval officers to Tae Srmrr Rarrers Asovr Acaww—Parst- DENT TALLMADGE IN AnMs.—We give, in another place,certain interesting documents which we lately received from the Hon. N. P. Tallmadge, ex-U. 8. Senator from New York, and ex- Governor of Wisconsin, and now President of the Spiritual Republic, Grand Marshal of ail the rappers, tippers, writers, &c., &c. It appears that ome small newspaper in Vir- ginia has been saying sovere things about the President, and he replies. With our accustomed. 4 liberality, we give both sides hearing. The- worst feature in the whole affair is, that a great deai of valuable time, ink, and paper is wasted on another “epiritual” book. This sort of literature is only distinguished as a means whereby a great deal of vapid and unmeaniag trash is poured into credulous and mystified ears, Obituary. THE DEATH OF MISS FILLMO We ymblished yesterday the of the death of Miss Abigail ay age of Ex-President Fillmore, at Anrora, in Erio county, in this State, on Wednesday morning last, efter a sickness of a few hours from the. cholera. She hed left Baffalo the previous day, iu sppareatly Rood health, to spend a few days among her friends at the'village where she only weat to die. Miss Fillmore was an amiable, iutereeting and educated young lady, and at her decease was some 7 twenty two years of age. Some years ago, and, we believe, while her father was a member of Congress, she employed herself as a school teacher in the county of Erie.
