The crops in many parts of the State have been harvested, and the grain was being cared before it set in. The scarcity of breadstaffe in this market keeps up prices above current rates in Liverpool; hence there is little or no disposition to ship them, even at the present extraordinary low rates of freights.

By the arrival of the Prometheus we received our Giles of Kingston (Jamaica) journals, dated to the 10th inetant,,with the latest inter-colonial intelligence from the other West India islands.

Faction. The hard shelle have “screwed their courage | up” to the demand of an explicit, decisive, and tinal answer from Judge Bronson, regarding his acceptance or declination of his nomination as their candidate for Governor. He accepts. He places himse!f and his case unconditionally jn the hands of bis friends, and will serve the peo- ple of this commonwealth as their Gove’ nor, if they think fit to elect him. See the proceed- | inge of the State Central Committee , published in another yart of this paper. We congratulate the hard sels upon this result. Judge Bronson !s the'jr proper candi- date. He is the embodiment of the direct isene between them and Guihrie 7.nd the administra- tion. The acceptance of te Judge, moreover, forecloses all negotiatiens for a dishonorable compromise and reunion upon a hard and soft shell coalition ticket. The administration fac- tion can make no compromise with Bronson. In thus removing the question between him and Guthrie from the Cabinet to the people, the Cabinet party must resist him, or permit the election to go by default. On the, other hand, the hard shelis must, and undou' siedly will, do their best for Bronson, or other;wise they will do him injustice, and betray @ false position upon the rupture between thr sm and the spoils coalition of Washington and 'fammany Hall. There appears to have “been considerable doubt and hesitation among the hards‘in taking the final step in this ms ster, without which nothing could be done. &jome were apprehen- sive that the Judge wou) a be inflexible in his resolution to decline, ani { that ‘there would be great difficulty in procv ming a-satisfactory sub- stitute.

Ourreport says the news of his surren? fer et discretion was received “with acclam: ation and applause” by the whole We may venture to say that the same euthus’ fasm-will actuate the entire hard commitiee. shell party throughout the State. Strange as it may appear, there are nota few of the more zealous hard shells who believe, or affect tio believe, that Judge Bronson can be elected. They count upon the split in the whig camp— they count upon aregular “break down’? of the mdministration soft shells at Syracuse— they count, from the resolutions of Tummany Hall, upon the support of the Know Nothings to some extent; and if Seymour is re-nominated, they also caloulate upon some recruits from the scattering temperance men of the soft shell party. In fact, the hards look upon the chances of our November scrub race with hopeful eyes. They are not satisfied in limiting their esti- mates to a docisive smash-up of the Cabinet faction, but are running their man with the view of electing him. Possibly Judge Bronson may be elected. Everything will depend upon the Whig State Convention. Should the whigs at Syracuse ap- plluy & Tcaet aud uw plutoOrm sattsfactory to the Saratoga coalition, to the temperance party and the Know Nothings, the question is settled. Under the present anti-Nebraska, Maine law and anti-Catholic .excitements, they will then sweep the State from Dunkirk to Coney Island, and from Binghamton to Ogdensburg. But there are symptoms of a rupture in the whig Syracuse cogventicle, at least on the negro question. Should such a split occur, the whig balance of power may be drawn off upon a separate anti-slavery or conservative ticket, and Judge Bronson may thus slip in from the division of the opposition forces. We must await the issue of the whig convention. The soft shell faction and its prospects we regard as immaterial to the general result, Their State convention will be a sort of Captain Tyler concern, without the permane).y which characterized the Tyler party while they held possession of the spoils. An inconvenient pro- portion of the delegates already, chosen to the soft shell affair, which is to come off at Syra- cuse on the 6th September, are of the real Simon Pure Buffalo stripe, dead-set against any dodging of the Nebraska bill, but sworn to repudiate it, with Pierce, Donglas, and all con- cerned, Should John Cochrane and the Tam- many eachems, through the agency of the “Short Boys,” persuade the convention to “hold the President in their arms,”.on this question, the Buffalo platform delegates will be very apt to follow the example of Benjamin I’. Butler, and go over to the Seward anti-slavery coalition. We think it very probable that, to secure the suffrages of the lager bier party, the soft convention will renominate Governor Seymour; and that, to make sure as far as possible of the Catholic vote, they will reaffirm the resolutions of Tammany Hall, and approve the policy adopted by the administration, of turning the Know Nothings out of office. But upon Nebraska, we are very apprehensive that the demoralized softs will be broken topieces. Decision upon this question, pro or con, will be ruinous, and a milk and water policy will be equivalent to the abandonment of the Cabinet. The Cabinet organ at Washington bas made Nebraska the test, and Elijah F. Pur- dy and John Cochrane are sworn to carry it out. Whatever the spoils administration free soil faction may do, they will be powerless in the election, or the best which they can hope to accomplish is a diversion which will enlarge the triumph of the Seward anti-slavery whig coalition, as in 1853. Of one result the South may be satisfied: With Judge Bronson in the field as the oandi- date of the New York democrats opposed to the sdministration, our November election will Prove heyond a doubt the weakness and the folly, the suicidal folly, of adhering in the South to the Cabinet free soil coalition as the ground- work of the re-organization of the national democratic party. There will scarcely be a vestige of the administration faction left in all the North, to swear by, after our November election. Such are the consequences of the policy of amalgamating Southern secessionists and Northern free soilers upon the basis of the spoils. Such is “the cohesive power of the public plunder,”’ Altered Relations of the United States with Spain, The last advices from Spain announce that 4} the work of revolution is but commenced. The people have positively refused to allow Christina to leave Spain, jnst as, nearly half'a century ago, thay refused to allow Carlos IV. to fly to’ Mexico. It has been resolved to impeach her before the Cortes with @ view to endeavor io make her ¢iszorge some of her Ill go!ten wealth. Four m\ions of dollars has sie ¢ ntrived to steal though itis sail that a lar.e portion of this 7aoney has been recently lost by her husband yom the public coffers since 1834; and the Dake o° Rianzares in uslucky speculations, her estates at Tarancon and elsewere, her rail- road and mining stocks, and property of various other kinds, are still worth seizing. Hitherto, the attem;ts made by Espartero to effct a re- conciliation between the Queen Mother and the populace have been fruitless. Even the life of the latter has ben threatened; and should the popular excitement continue, itis by no jeans certain that the loss of her riches will bé her only sacrifice, Other courtiers before Munoz have risen to the highest pinnacle of wealth and power in Spain only to fall to the lowest depths of abasement; the exemples of Orsini, Ensenada and Godoy have not been forgotten by the peo- ple, Isabella still reigns, it is true; and seems to be on safe terms with the cabinet; but the popular enthusiasm with which the alliance of Espartero and O’Donnell was at first hailed is fast dying out, and the ‘council of ministers is distracted by in- testine quarrels. What the people want no one seems to know. The best informed students of Spain seem to think that a republic would be distasteful to the bulk of the people; and the principal leaders of the movement of July are obviously interested in the preservation of the monarchy. But on the other hand an impeach- ment of Christina will tell as severely upog her daughter as herself; and there caa be no doubt whatever that the detestation with which the one is regarded is felt also concerning the other. Perhaps the weightiest reason in favor of a Spanish republic is that not one member of the royal family possesses sufficient pepu- larity to rally any substantial number of sol- diers or citizens around the old or a new mo- narchy so as to ensure ite stable foundation. In truth, we can foresee nothing and predicate nothing of the result of an imbroglio so hope- lessly confused. In the whirlpeel of revolu- tions, the party which rises to the surface and swims while its rivals siak is seldom the one which the people desire or the world expects; but a few hours of supremacy suffice, on such occasions torally round any government the whole conservative element of the country. If Montemolin availed himself of a moment of tu- mult to seize the supreme power at Madrid, and retained it for three days, his chances of being duly installed on the throne would be good. The same may be said of Montpensier; a similar movement on the part of the democrats would be very likely to end in the establishment of a Spanish republic. But at present such contingencies can only be regarded ina speculative light. All that we know is that Isabella is still Queen; and that she pos- sesees the semblance of power and authority. Our concern in this class of consequences of the reyolution is small; it matters -little to us by whom Spain is governed. The events of July have developed other changes in which our interests are far more deeply involved. To appreciate their importance, we must care- fully-bear in mind that, according to the best information Mr. Soulé has procured, the notion of purchasing Cuba during the present genera. tion must be at once and unequivocally aban- doned. The tenderncss of Spanish feeling on the subjoct ia anch that no atatesman of any party could venture to entertain the notion of selling it.’ It would be death to any adminis- tration to propose it; and hopeless to expect that the Cortes would ratify any proposal of the kind. Firmly convinced of this, the govern- ment at Washington has turned its attention to those points in our relations in Spain in which nosuch insuperable obstacle presented itself, Such were the improvement of our commercial relations with Cuba and Porto Rico; the suppres- sion of the Cuban slave trade ; the cessation of outrages upon our ships and our flag; and such ameliorations in the internal government of Cuba as the condition of the inhabitants requires, We have reason to believe that symptoms of willingness to meet our views on these points were shown by the revolutionary leaders some time back; the despatches taken out by Mr. Sickles authorize our embassador to press the Espartero cabinet for a speedy understanding on the whole. This policy has a double mo- tive. For mang years, the interference of France and England in Spanish affairs has been most obnoxious to the governments of Spain. From the invasion of the duc d’Augouleme down to the dismissal of Bulwer, and even to the present day, every successive administra- tion has been harrassed by the imperious tone and insidious intrigues of the British and French ambassadors. It was dangerous, even for so bold 8 man as Narvaez, to put an-end to this system of interference by direct means, so long as Cuba was threatened by the United States and its eurest protection lay in the Bri- tish and French fleets. Having to choose be- tween two evils, Spain has generally preferred to submit to the interference of her neighbors rather than risk the loss of her colony. It is now proposed to extricate her from this dilem- ma by renouncing our views on the island, in consideration of her agreement to the demands we have mentioned above, and which obviously look to the benefit of Spain as well as our own. Should these proposals be approved, the United States will exchange places with Great Britain and France at Madrid. Our influence will be- come paramount; theirs will disappear. We shall agree to give whatever moral support and comfort we can to the progressistas or their successors; and they in return will agree to re- move all the causes of quarrel on this side the water by affording facilities to our intercourse with Cuba and Porto Rico, and modifying their tariffs in » judicious way. By this means we not only gain a vast improvement in an impor- tant branch of our foreign trade; but we anni- hilate at a blow the falcram on which the lever of British and French influence on this continent has rested. We cut off the English from Havana, and break up the triplicate alliance which was formed to check ou! gress. Spain benefits by the arrangement, inasmuch as she gets rid of an odious foreign dictation at home, and relieves herself of a world of anxiety respect- ing her possessions abroad. Mr. Sickles left New York with the basis of this diplomatic arrangement in his pocket. The new government of Spain had pre- viously given an earnest of their willingness to embrace it by taking v Measures for the suppression of the le, and by su- perseding Pezuela by Concha, whose popularity in this country was large and whose character stood high. Great Britain had tried to or- ganize a counter plot by means of an intrigue to put a creature of their own—Don Pedro of Portngal—on the Spanish throne. The battle of diplomacy is now beginning. There will be laurels for some one whighever way it ends, The News from Evrope—Total Evacuation ef the Princtpalities by the Russtans. The official announcement made by Prince Gortschakoff to the Austrian government, of the intention of the Czar to withdraw his armies from Moldavia as well as from the lower Prin- cipality, will strike no one with surprise. Put- ting aside the motives of strategic prudence which dictate the necessity of concentrating as strong a force as possible on the Crimea, against which the first great blow of the allies is about to be struck, it evidently formed an indispensa- ble condition of the policy which, either owing to a secret understanding with the court of Vien- na, or to the necessities of his position, the Rus- sian Emperor has hitherto deemed it advisable to pursue towards his quondum German ally. Without endeavoring to penetrate the myste_ ries of a diplomacy which only appears to ac. quire boldness in proportion as the fortunes of the Czar appear to decline, we still may be permitted to doubt whether the determination said to be arrived at by Austria, to complete the objects of the war by assisting the coalition to extort guarantees from Russia for her future good conduct, will alter intiny material respect the previous aspect of the question. The new note which has been just exchanged at Vienna, between Count Buol and the repre™ sentatives of England and France, is only in fact the necessary consequence of the engage- ments entered into in the previous pro- tocols, with this significant difference—that in the former the concurrence of Prussia is entirely ignored. The latter Power is now understood to have leagued herself with the minor German States, with the object of em- barrassing the action of her rival in the con- federation; so that on the side of Germany, we may expect a division of interests, which will greatly assist the designs of the Czar, and perhaps ultimately determine the issue of the struggle. While, however, Austria will pro- bably carry out her engagements with the allies to the point of reserving to herself, if she can obtain it, the power of acting as an armed mediator between the belligerents, and thus craftily securing the advantages main- springs of her subtle and tortuous policy, there is no reason for believing that she will abandon the cautious middle course that she assenting to the ex- treme measures announced in the programme of conditions put forth by the organs of the coalition as the only basis on which they will be disposed to treat for peace. Matters have, in fact, now arrived at a point where the real motives of her policy will be tested. Russia has made every reasonable concession to her that could be expected, and whether these con- cessions have been dictated by a friendly understanding, as many still believe, or are the result merely of a desire to avert hostile actions upon her part, it is to be expected that Austria, with that caution and moderation which she has hitherto displayed, will so shape her future course as to protect the interests of the Czar on those vital points on which no con- cessions can be made, and at the same time conciliate the Russian tendencies of the other which have all along been the has-hitherto pursued, by German powers. Should the coalition, however, insist upon vigorously carrying out a programme of con- ditions which would have the effect of at once yadnoing Russle wv the position of a seovud sate Power, it is certain that Austria will at once break with them, for the preponderance of Rus- sia in the north of Europe is as essential to the safety of her empire as are the friendship and support of the Western governments. She nothing to aggrandize the continental influence of France; and in thisfact may be found the true key to her future pclicy. Her position has been all through one of great difficulty and embarrassment; and so far the skill and adroitness of her statesmen have en- abled her to temporise until she has made pre- paration to meet the dangers that menaced her. It is clear, however, that she will soon be com- pelled to accept ene or other of the two alter- will do natives that the progress will force upon her She will either have to commit herself cordially and entirely to the extreme measures resolved upon by the coalition, and thus hazard the pre- ponderance of her political influence in Ger- many, exposing herself, besides, to the dangers of a Russian invasion, or she will have to take her stand on sucha moderate adjustment of the existing difficulties as will maintain unimpaired the political influence of her former ally and benefactor, The latter, we have no doubt, will be her course; and, therefore, should the allies drive matters to the extremes threatened, it is by no means improbable that we shall yet see the Principalities held in trust for Russia by ‘an Austrian army of occupation. Matters, however, have not’as yet arrived at this crisis. The invasion of the Crimea is a point of the game that has yet to be played out before any one can speculate as to its probable issue. So far nothing could be more opportune for the strategic necessities of the Czar than the pretext afforded by the threatened movement of the Austrians upon the Principalities for the removal of his forces from a hostile territory, in which their subsistence had become difficult, toa point from whence he could observe and strengthen those positionson his southern coast which offer the greatest temptations to an in- vading army. As regards the Principalities, he need give himself no concern about them for the present. The convention between Austria and Turkey, by which the former Power has not only secured the right of occupation, but also an express condition that these provinges are not to be made the theatre of hostilities, secures him against any causes of apprehension that might have arisen on that side, whilst it at the same time leaves him free to concentrate all his nearest available resources on the points of his coast which are more immediately threatened. ‘The importance of this relief, forced though it may be, can only be appreciated by those who are acquainted with the difficulties attending the transportation of troops from a distance in a country where the facilities of conveyance are but few, and where, as in the case of a sudden demonstration like the present, delay might occasion the most disastrous results.
