A number of new church edifices are now in course of er: ction in Phila se'pbia, the beauty and elegance of which it would be diflicalt to surpass. Tae impr ve- men's have been stimulated by tne liberality of other congregations in furnishing ample mans for the erec- tion of jempiet worthy of devotion to the worahip of Goo. The Fourth tel deo Cnarch, at the northwest corner of Fifth and Buttonwood s:reets, is rapidly advarcing towards completion, and will probably be Teed) for the accommodation of the congregation by the latver ; art of October. It will be by far tne most imposing charc: edifice in that secsion of the city. The style is Roman Corinthian, which is finely adap‘ed for effect. The material ia brick, which wil be rough cast, and painted in imitation of brown stone. The Baptist Church at the corner of Broad and Arch streets, proceeds but albwly, owing to the ex- tevsive and most costly character of the builuing. We doubt whether it can be ocmpleted before next sp ing. The material ueed is brown stone, aud the steeple, which will be the loftiest in the city, wil be of stone to the top. The edifice is in the best ye position for effect, having a noble tront on ‘oad street. 8. D. Button is the architect of this magnificent structure. The Presbyterian church ut the corner of Figh teenth and Arch streets will ve completed, we think firet_of Novem: robably before tha: # of any architec: ‘that section of the city, if we ex- e cathedral on sqaare.

The sigas abroad are altogether such as make men ponder seriously. A voloanie action among the nations of Europe seems imminent to the most cursory glance, Turn which way you will, there are evidences of it. Portugal, witoout one real element of vitality, looks with fear and trembling over her frontier border, and sees Spaia in the throes of @ convulsion with threatens to become epidemic, Rome, Naples, Sicily, the whole of Italy, in fact, north and south is one vast heep of inflamma- able combustible mgfter. Germany is shaking under the impulse of a latent energy, which, like the fires of Etna, are smouldering in its vitala, Russia and the Anglo-French alliance stard fiercely looking each other in the face, like Paris and Menelaus, thirsting for each other’s blood; while Turkey — the wretched Helen of their contention—perhans inher heart would be very well content to see them both strangled. The fall of Bomarsund, as a substantive advan- tege, is made no account of; but among. all parties tbat I have mingled with, in this capi- tol—and many have strong Russian tendencies —I find a disposition to look up .n it in a moral sense, a8 a heavy blow, and great discourage- ment to the Czar. It may, or may not raise a question of Northern granite, or Russian ont- work of rock; but one thing it is presumed to decide, that is, the skilfal and efficient manner in which the Western Alliance can do their work when they fairly begin. The tug of war with that gigantic power, which, even so far back as 1735, in the times of Louis the Four- teenth, was spoken of as “formidable to the whole of Europe,” is now commenced, and unless the disturbing elements of Europe light up a conflagration which shall distract the eyes of the bellig-rents, a strovg opinion prevails that in the fall of Bomarsund the Czar may read his fate. But no one [ speak to, seems to be blind to the probability that collateral difficulties may for that for Russta which will be impos- sible in ber innate strength to effect. In the meantime this coloseal Power, which under Paul 1st sent out two armies, and defeated the French on the Trabia aad at Novovhich, in 1798, at the Congress of Rastadt set itself up as the patron of the old States of the empire, and stipwated in their name—which under Alexander held the balance between France and her enemies, and powerfully conduced to the fall of the great Napoleon, and which exer- cises such enormous influence over Germany, and has matrimonial alliances with Prassia, Mecklenburg, Hesse, Oldenburg, Nassau, Bava- tia, Wartemberg and Baden—is in vhe midst of her difficulties displaying a cat-like caution. To the Austrian and Prussian propositions the most smooth and plausible answer is returned. ay goa me against pursuit,” she says, “an promise to run away;” “and there is no denying,” says Austria, ‘that in this there is much show of reason.”” Wherevpon, she pro- mises her good offices, And then, how curious to read the following order of the day at Odes- ta, of the 13th of August:— His Majesty the Czar has ordered, in his hig’) wisdom, that the troops who had eaterei Wallachia and Moldavia, shall withdraw frum those pro- vinces where there is the greatest danger. To pro- tect the Principalities sgainst an invasion by the Turks, the nt ally of his Majesty the Ozar (Austria) bas under to oobipy inn in tne meantime. Here you will have to combat a new re pe dares to attack ycu in your own coun: try. This enemy.bas been franensty beeen ard vanquished by our valorous fathers; hig Majesty the Czar beep tre same fom you. Yon will van- quish aud destroy the enemy by your bra: and aiscipline. This pew enemy is more skilfal and more courageous, and better commanded than the Turks: but your courage and strength can also vau- quish this cnemy, as your fathers have proved several times. Call to mind, in fighting againat the ich, the glorious year of 1812, when the beaven- ly Father ako sent his hosts against these impious ei criminal men, aad buri¢d them all under the ce. * There seems to be but little doubt that 70,000 men have at last gone to Sebastopol; and the eame system, which, with sixteen guas and five mortars, set “chattering,” and finally tumbling, the walls of Bomdrsand, will be tried there. e Minie rifles have awfully increased the difficulty of fighting in case-mated batte- ries, directed, as it is now proved they can be, with such precision into the embrasures. What a three-decker on 4 Russian fort can effect is still aquestion These thirty-two pounders in eight hours and a halt at Bomarsund destroyed every- thing; it is only natural to ask, what twenty times that weight of metal in a fire of greater rapidity might not accomplish in half an hour. Where the landing of this army is to take place is a profound my: in the 9th of August there were 360 sail of vessols at Varna, and ten immense flat-bottomed beats made at the Turkish arsenal. The Orinoco and two other steamers from England, were waiting with troops on board for turther orders. Gene- rals Brown and Canrobert, it is known, had in- spected sixty miles of coast where a landing could be effected, and theugh there are a thousand different speculations on the sab- ject by this eminent pias people, the fact itself is still a profound se- cret. A tremendous resistance is gencrall: anticipated, though all scem sanguine as to ulti- mate victory. e millions Russians are beginning to be looked upon in France as only the crude matériel of humanity, and one French chasseur worth a hundred of them. At Silistria, it is remembered that numbers were totally ineffectual, and that they were obliged to be literally driven to the figgt. In fect, every day the opinion gains ground that the Russian empire is deficient in the first ele- ment of @ nation’s strength, that of pairiot- ism —a strength which no nation under heaven has 0 eagerly availed heraclf of as America, and which, more than her Ms Saget} territory and her ever increasing millions, will one day enable her to be the arbiter of the world, The cholera is rapidly subsiding at Varna; but about two thousand of the Freach have fallen victimsto it. The great fire which broke ont on the 19th of August, in the house of a Greek bmn om pret athens Md fome four ouses, ‘iy the amount of ten million of " fone in & pathological point of view, is sup- posed to have done good, and to have checked the pestilence. The powder magazine was only saved by the most desperate efforts of the peor. Prince Napoleon has been attacked in the Dobradecha with fever, but was, by letters of the sad rInege MAY Det Wl a is Bard expected that any it news arrive from the Epet till about a fortnight, but the greatest anxiety is every where manifested. The Montteur this morning patdishcs some detaile, in the absence, I suppose, of more im- portant intelligence, of the marr of the Sultan’s daughter with the son Reschid Pacha. Thirty ent tents, besides many others of more est pretensions, were spread on the plain of Balta-Liman, and all the high governmenta) and diplomatic personages were there assembled. Cavalry, infantry, and even artillery, with immense masses of the la- tion, were there to assist: and when the pro- cession of the nouvelle mari¢e took place, Fathma-Sultane rode in a promon resplendent with purple and gold, oo excluded from the vulgar gaze of humanity, follow- | 2 by some other sixty vehicles full of ‘my; t functionaries. The Mistress of the harem was there, and all his conca- _ dines, and the gongubines of other great digai- ° taries; and when the cortege arrived Palace of Balta Liman, everybody congretulay ed Ali-Ghalit-Pacba, the rridegroom, th ugt, gs the bride was nos +een. the motive for tuese congrotulations is Sheowre, Aft-r which the Suit+n bimelf paid a vi-it to his daughter, and was abut up with her for the space of three hours, during which time he doubtless gave her & most sapient lectore on her dGumestic duties, ala Ture. Fire-works were let off in grest abundance, and when the account of the nup- tials was dispatched, Ali-Ghalib Pacha was still in the midst of felicitations. Aconsidersble sensation has been excited b: ® report of the arrest, by the Tarkish authori- ties, of the correspondent of the Daily Vews. It would seem that correspondents of foreign journals have every where difficulties to coatend with; spd Paris, I° may tell you, is no excep- tion. Omer Pacha has received a hint from England, as weil as France, that such persons are apt to tell the world too much—to speak of TEE RECIPROCITY TREATY, Se ae A Proclamation the President of the Untud Stnces of Amertea, OrrtoraL.

Except extreme civility from individuals—the Commander-tn-Chief iuctud- | ed—I have met with nothieg here but fleas, bugs, cold, hunger, fever, danger to my life, apd hard beds,” If the Swedes won’t take possession of Bo- marsund, it is to be biown up. The allies mixht do something, it is said, with Croostadt, it they would but have some gun boats, such ag Prursia some time ago built in Eogland, Toe “ Arrow,” which was found such a complete feilare the other day off the Isle of Wigut, conld not take aim iv a rolling sea, and drew from eleven to thirteen feet of water. The Prussian boats only draw from five to seven feet of water, and the guos are placed amid- sbips where there is least motion, aad so fire parallel with the keel. Something of tne kind seems indi-pensable, The Tiger and Penelope lave both run aground, while the Prussian boats have been all round Cronstadt, op to St. Petersburg, and in nearly every harbor of the Baltic. Before having done with politics, one word on Spain. The Emperor of the French, you may be well areured, watches with the moss intense interest all that is going on in that country. He has ue arrived in Paris, leaving the Empress at iarritz, which will probably afford him a le- gitimate exeure for re-visiting the frontiers of Spain. M. Olozaga has arrived also in Paris, as Spanish ambassador. Napoleon is perfectly willing that Spain should do in the way of | overpment, exactly what she pleases— lets one thing—which is, that of having any- thing to do with the Queen Isabella’s sister, the wite of Louis Philippe’s son, the Duc de Mont- pensier. This reminds one of Marplot, in the t is | @) } Jarce, who says to his hoad-strong daughter, do | to any business, snail make and subscribe a solemn any ibing you please my dear, only give me the key of your wardrobe, The Spaniards have determined to bring, by the Quéen’s consent, her mother to trial, which is as good as getting rid of them both. Tne Duchess of Montpensier thus stands between the conflicting pareee asa great compromise in which all might join. Tbe Constitutionalists would be satisfied, the Moralists would have notbing to say, the Se- cessionists who fought against Don Carlos would still be in their right place ; the choice of Isabella's sister fe He in fact, get over a great ditficalty ; but there is a man at the door called Napoleon the Third, surrounded by ail the prestige of wondrous success, who says, it sbail not be: anything else you like, This makes room for the Republic, which makes room for oll sorts of little exasperations, which makes room for a dictator, which makes room for the wasting game that has hitherto produced £0 many prizes for Napoleon, The English Court, too, is Orleanist, and this does not please Prince Albert therefore.

Persons transported in 1545 seek to be indemnified out of the private fortunes of those arties who were then in power. Tois touches jarvaez, who was then at the head of affairs, and who now demands his passports for France. And yet there are faint symptoms of order. The merchants of Madrid, driven to despair by the state of commerce, are about to hold an important meeting. Armed bands of the insar- gents have invaded the office of a newspaper entitled The Last Barricades, and stopped its publication; but notwithstanding. there is, in the opinion of those most experienced, nothin, but gloom and ominous foreboding in the poli- tical horizon. Napoleon has been winning ger opinions at Bayonne, and it is Hipaght is not unmindful that the daughter of king Joseph of Spain, whose death I mentioned to you in my last, has left five sons, all of whom in any difficulty about succersion, are of course very much at the service of Spain, When reminded by the Mayor of Bayonne that it was there, where existed the happiest reminiscences of Henri IV., the most popular monarch of France—the or po) happily retorted—“Yes, it was his wich thet every Vomel peasant should have fowl in his pot-au feu—may it be mine,” said Nepoleon “to realize that wish.” A speech wh:ch will give him the hearts of thousands on either side the boraer. Paris is resuming its statu quo, and it is devoutly to be hoped no more joyous occasi will take place for some time, for the confu- sion three weeks before and after is insuffer- able, and the city is so intrinsically beautiful that when left so itself itis ever the most capti- vating.
