A Polish Le 'on for service in the Turkish war is being fiirmcd in Paris; and although the chiefs of it have got no direct countenance from the Government, they have been sun that no obstacle will be thrown in their way.

. ....Tba.Muu'lear says :—The Government of the United States has just 'vcn satisfaction to a new series of claims brought forward by French shipowiiers and merchants. on the occasion of the seirures improperly made by the Custom house of San Francisco, in 1849 and 1850. In- deuinities have consequentl been granted by the American treasury to M . Foussat,-Guille- vin, Ports. and Jouvet, and Boys and Raveau, shippers of the Java, of Bordeaux.‘ A supple- menta indemnity has also been given M. Foucaiilt and Co., owners of the Abeille, of Havre. The amount of these indemnities.wss immediately transmitted through the Ministry of Foreign Afliiirs to the Caisse des Depots ct Cousi nations, which is charged to it to the di erent parties. The claims of the owners of the Louise-Marie, of Havrc. and the Java, of Bordeaux, as also that of M. .\Ioulot, of‘the Edouard, have so been difinitively liquidated.”

RUSSIA AND runxnv.

The Turkish army in Bosnia are about to march into Servia, and a brid is bein thrown across the l)aina. The Ser_visn popu ation is

, much agitated, and preparing to defend the

territory. The Turks continue tooccupy the

‘ V island of Rutschnk.

Letters from Constantinople, dated 10th in- stant, give some details with respect to the . lane of Omar Pacha, which do not leave a

cube of the fact that the operations at 0|ten- itza were a more feigned attack, intended to deceive Prince Gortschukoff as to his rea intentions. The plan has perfectly succeeded; for while the Russian general has concentrated 'liis troops round Bucharest, thinkin that that

~ was the point threatened, Omer Puc a has very

different objects in view. It is believed that he was combining his troops, so as to attack the division of General Laden in Bossarabia; and it is also believed that the object of tbe0ttouian Government in sending its fleet into the Black Sea is to co-operate with the land forces in that

’ attack. It appears that the first successes of

Omer Pacha ave added immensely to the hopes With their success- es the ooirragc of the Turks rises, and it would now be more ditiicult to bring them to terms They not only declare their full determination to run all the chances of the war, but speak of the terms which they were latel ready to grant toRussia as now being out of t e question. So confiden does the whole nation now feel of success that it would require nothing less than a conipleto and irretrievable disaster to induce them to accede to peace on any more mild terms than an indemnity from Russia, and the revision of all the treaties that have been concluded be- tween Russia and Turkey for the last century --treaties which they consider as the primary causes of all their misfortunes. The appointment of Faud I:‘.Il'endi, asCoinmis- sioner to the army of Omar Pacba, has given great dissatisfaction to the Wallaohians. and who, notwithstanding his quarrel with Prince Mcnshikofl. took upon him as a Russian agent. It is Fund Eficndi who is considered responsible ‘for the disastrous convention of Balta Liman ;in 1848, the efi'ect of which. according to the . Wullachiaus has been to make the Moldo-Wal-, lachian principalities little better than Russian ' provinces.

Prince Gortschakoff has ordered a Roman. Catholic chapel at Bucharest to he closed.

It has been stated that the Emperor of Russia, in reply to an enquiry ofAustria, states that he will still enter into negotiations, if the Ports: proposes a project of peace.

Considerable reinforcements from the fron- tiars of Poland are being sent to the Bussisn

.,army in Asia. .

A private letter from Odessa states that a Russian uadron, consisting of three ships of the line, five frigates, and several steamers, have left Sebastopol, in consequence of die Turkish ships of war having been seen in the, Black Sea.

'. -

The present aspect of affairs seems calcu- lated to occasion '- considerable suspense. It appears beyond question that the Turks maintained their position at Oltenitza with the utmost intrepidity, and that neither in science nor discipline id they evince any inferiority to their assailants. Omar Pasha could on y be dislodged from the left bank of the Danube by the concentration of the whole Russian force in the Pi-incipalities, and, even before this demonstration, e retreated without loss and without disho- nour. If the retirement of the Turks had been extended to all the divisions of their army, affairs would now be reduced to near- ly the same position as that of last month,- Russians and Ottomans being arrayed in Wallachia and Bulgaria respectively, pre- pared for war, but with the Danube between them. There still, however, remains a strong Turkish detachment at Kaltifat, s. place which has been recently fortified with intreuchments and field-works, which I- sesscs a secure communication with id- din, and which can be occupied ‘at pleasure by as many additional troops as mar Pasha may decide on throwing across. Al- ready the force in this quarter is considera- bly more powerful than_ at which He the Russians so much ‘troub e at Oltcliitza, and the position itself, as hesbccn oflen remark- ed, is one of great strategical importance. It is, consequently, by no means improbable that Prince Gortschakolf may direct his operations against this point, either after the reinforcements from Josey have reached him, or with the army which is new con- centrated _ bctweenphcnitxa upd Bucharest. As the bi-ks can command .,s'_uccours from their ontiroforce, by means at‘ tbo‘commu- . nication at Wlddin, we fmay' ‘possibly hear of a dcaisiveongugemcnt in_ these parts; nor is it uiifikoly, indeed’ ths_l.0mar eshs moy i-spout his attacks other parts of the Danube,-.whcn.the stren h of his adversary been ' Leer Wallachis.

By treaty the King is bound to grant no commercial advan- tages to other nations beyond those enjoyed by England and France, and any act on his part which would result in the free admis- sion of American goods, and the imposition of‘ increased duties on those of other coun- tries, must, consequently, be a violation of these conditions, whether it takes place by annexation or any other means. The ship- ping trade with the islands, in case of such a step, would likewise then come under the restrictions ofthe American coasting trade. For the present the attempt seems to have been checked by the feeling of the popula- tion gcnciplly, which has led to the dis-‘ missal of.l.)r. Judd, the minister assumed to

Tris Euscriiic Tr:i.r:Giisi=i-i COMPANY.— This cotnpany have made another attempt to throw across their cable from the lrisli to the Scotch coast, which has resulted in another very disastrous failure ! It would really seem flint they are fated to endure disappointments which would blast the hopes of ineu of moderately sanguine tempera- ment. Whether it has been the state of the weather, or the mismanagement of their‘ own officials, every cfl'oi-t which they have yet made to place themselves on a footing with their more successful, and apparently more skilful, oompetitoi-s—the Magnetic Compnny—lias provcd abortive, and they now stand in a position little in advance of that which they occu ied eight or ten months ago. On Tue ay‘ the cable of the Company was ‘f paid out" from a steamer which took its departure from Nillisle for the Scotch qoast, but the ‘vessel had not proceeded more than four miles seaward when lo‘! the cable again gave way to the great consternation of all on board. The vessel again returned to the shore, and no other attempt has since been made to lay down the cable. These repeated failures are'rcully extraordinary, and do not augur well for the position which this Company will hold in the public coiifidence.—.N'orlh- em ig.

HASZARIPB GAZETTE.

Wednesday, December 14.

Turns on two books as our table of which we have too long dolsysd giving same account to our readers. Ose of them “The Wesiminslov Review" for October last. is one of the best numbers of that able periodical that we have lately seen. It contains several well-wriiiu articles. " Religion in Italy ” will prove interesting and instiuciivo to those who lake an iniereot—snd who does not .’—iu the probable fats of the ones Ifistross of the World. “The Pro- gress of I’iction as an Art " we have not read, having been attracted by the article " Partnership with limit- ed liability," well worthy of a perusal by all who wish to see the fstters. which the ignorance of our ancestors were in the habit of imposing upon com- merce, struck of. It is s subject of the first import- ance to all cominunitios, but confessedly to a young and rising country. sbouuding in natural resources but limited in capital wlicrswiih to bring ihesc into sciion. We inland to avail ourselves of some of the arguments and illustrations. “ The Book of Job " is a splendid piece of criticism upon that incomparable poem; with its religious tendencies we attempt not to meddle,- losviiig every man to his own conviction,—but to those who wish to have their enjoyment in the read- ing of the Book of Job heightened. and much of its obscurity dispelled. we would recommend the perusal of this article. " The School claims of Languages," like the article on Partnership. has received our best attention. The question between the preference to be given to either, in teaching the Ancient and Modern Languages, is well discussed; and we trust to be able to bring it before our readers at no very distant period. " German mysticism in the Hit: century” will please lhnse who delight in the mysterious and obscure. " The Universal Posuilsie," on ihs contrary, will prove attractive to those in search of Truth, divested of all lhst is either mythic or mysiorious. Short as is the article on the “ Progress of Russia," it is yet sufficiently long to shew the systematic and wall- direcicd efforts of that Power to increase its dominioii over the surrounding countries. and merits attention at this particular juncture. The Review is accompanied hy the usual notices of the “Contemporary Literature of England. America, Germany and France."

The other " The Anglo American Magazine," published at Toronto,by Thomas MacLear.4b Yongc street, is a highly respectable publication, and we regret that we have not seen it before. We perceive by the October and November Numbers before us, that it has advanced as far as No. 5 of the 8d volunis, and as it is always diflicult, almost impossible to pro- nounce correctly upon the merit of articles of which we have not seen the commencement, we shall not atlempt it. The War of I812, ‘I3, '14 reaches to chapter II. The Chronicles of Drcepdaily are in number I7, and ifsll are as humorous as No. 18, we do not wonder at the Magazine having an extensive circulation. We would heartily recomnisnd it, as containing, besides the usual mslauge iiiucli local and critical information under the head of “ The hidi- tor’s Shsuly." The price is $8 per sniisin.
