THE PRESS. STATE of THE DANUBE SULINA Mortns.—The Trieste Gazette, a first-rate organ of the commercial in terest., has the following communication from its own correspondent :—" In the Salina embouchure sixty-two ships have entered, and twenty-one have left between the of August and the fith of Sep tember. The steam-barge was in operation two days, and removed seven barques of mud. An Eng lish brig, lately damaged, could scarcely alive its whole cargo, and the craft itself broke up afterwards. The ships at at before Salina cannot leave, as they require all a depth of at least 14.5 feet, while the present depth of the shoal is only 6.5 feet! 4/n the '!nil an empty lighter was driven on a mudbank and went to pieces. tln the rah a Wallaehian schooner got leaky, and 1,500 kilos o f gra i n h a d to h e thr o wn went oard." Aestatxx ME3toin V:1)1 . 31 IN THE KOIIZTA A I:- vvm.—The ()extern , ieh isqehe Correspowlenz, semi-otti i•ial Austrian paper, has published mane statements on this affair, of which we give the following risinn': :— "Abstracledly from the que.tion, whether the mere declaration of the intention to become an American citizen can make a person entitled to the protection of the republican Government and its agents, it has been objeeted further that die arrest of lieszta has been 4'4.4144 unlawfully, in a neutral country, t►n the territory of an independent power. Without dis puting that any Christian country has the absolute jurisdictien our all people staying in the country, whether permanently or temporarily, yet, in 'Turkey, all Franks are enjoying the privilege of extra teni toriality, recording to very 44141 treaties, whence it eemes that Isiah the Austrian and I •' reueh Consols at Smyrna have each pistons attached to their resi &flees. The right of jurisdietion of Austria over its subjects in Turkey is based originally on Article V. of the Pasaarewitz tweet., .luly 17, l i IS, the Sened of the I high Porte, February 11, liBl, and the treaty of peace of Sistow, August 4, lint Etti it is not the European powers alone who have acquired a similar privilege; even the Cluny' States themselves have stipulated as much in the treaty with the High Porte, eonelmled May 7, 1►(80, ratified February 1, lis:11, and promulgated by the President of the I 7 niteil States February .1, 1531. Article IV. of that treaty states :—' And even when they (citizens of the United States) may have svnmnitted some otlence, they shall not hue arrested and put. in prison by the basal authorities, hitt. they shall be tried by their Minister or Consul, and punished according to their Aimee, following in this respect the usage observed towimls other Franks.' If treaties so plain and stringent have been lately somewhat infringed upon - instance, by the Porte taking the refugees of the late revolutionary war in Ilmigary under their especial protection —still Austria never connived at such preeeedings; on the contrary, entered her pro test against it in the strongest way possible:. A SKETeII VIDIM 111.murz.—This little congress of two Courts, with so many grey heaehsl veterans. un avoidably carries back tho mind to the still more moving period of lsl3-14-Iri; and Prince Paskie. witseh and Count Nesse'rode, having been less seen in the west of Europe• than our enrtvnt Freneh. English, and l ;emote' soldiers and statesmen, have been objects of considerable interest, from the' asso ciation of their 1111,111 CS with the politiral and military development of the Russia,' power alining nearly two generations. The following anecdote emineeting the two epoelis is given from a source that may lie relied on. I Westmorland was relating to Prince Pas kiew•itseh that in January, INII. at the advance on Paris, after the heights of Belleville had been storm's!, an officer attached to the Corp* d'arnse , of General Milorailowitsch called out, Vp with the artillery ; let its at length have al shot at Paris!" The artillery was linnight up. and, when the last shot was tired, !Itiloradowitseh said, " What a singular coin cidence! This was the very artillery officer who opened the first tin. at the beginning of the retreat &aim Nlosciaw." When Prince Paskiewitseh had lis. toned to this anecdote of the alpha and omega of the decline and fall of the empir e o f N a p o l eon added, " Allow nu• to conclude the series of eoinci alenees, and inform you that the name of this yonng artillery otlicer raSlill'i% 11401. a n d that. he now has the pleasure of renewing in I thnsitz. in ISM, the camaraderie Or P* 4 l i on the heights of Belleville. - Unlike the tall and brawny Emperor, Count Nesse•l -rotde. is brief in every propniiiini of length and breadth, lint with rellneill anal intelleetnal features; and, although tine of the very few statesmen who pre veiled the t 'ongress of Vienna, and piditically survived the tempests of IN IS, he is still fresh and active, exeept having no longer the youtliftd strength of eyesight.

Ms eomisels are said to he of great value. not only teethe peace of Europe, but to the.• in Wrests of Russia herself, its he believes that a pacific development of the empire will carry it further than 111011 . amhitious and warlike policy. Tim B‘NK off• Fit %WE hill raised the rate of dis count from 3 to 4 per cent. SATURDAY, RECENT ANECDOTES OF THE E MPEROE NICHOLAS. As every care and precaution had been taken in relation to the journey of the Emperor through the Austrian dominions, Hefted' Francesconi had gone expressly to Oderberg to conduct the engine of the Emperor's train thence to (►lmutz. The carriage in which the Emperor came from Warsaw was b roa d as compared with those of Austria, and M. Francesconi expressed some tear les► they would pass with Mt.. culty through the stations ou the road. He pro posed, therefore, to the Emperor to use one of the Austrian railway carriages. Nicholas had listened attentively to what was said, but answered him, " shall ride in siy carriage, even if it were to go to pieces." The Emperor was dressed quite as simply as his courtiers and attendants, and only his tall and imposing figure showed the ruler of so many millions. As in the camp of Ohniiti there was a regiment of Greek " dissenting" Croatians (Selaves I, the Em peror attended the Sunday service in their chapel. As soon as he had descended from the carriage ho bared his head. With a deep inclination of his body he ascended the steps, and, having reached the foot of the altar, threw himself on his knees on the bare stone, pushing aside the cushion prepared for the occasion. He folded his hands, and fell in a long trance, a kind of prayer and contemplation. During the last moments of the Emperor's stay at nhnotz all eyes were directed towards him, as it' to divine t'ut►uity from his looks. But nothing seemed to agitate that marble repose of the face, nothing to shake the unalterable strength of his broad chest, and the silence of the Sphinx rested on his high I orow.—Gcrum a Papers. DIPLOMATIC Co3IIINATIOM AOAINST THE i7NITED STATEI4.—The representation made by the Austrian Cabinet iu the Koszta affair has now been despatched to Washington. It demands in a very serious tone satisfaction for the behaviour of the American otli eials at Smyrna, which is characterised as being in antagonism with the law of notions. The despatch thus conceived was communicated to the Cabinets of Ru s sia, France, and Prussia, which expressed their adherence to the Austrian iihno Meg, by special notes of their own. Especially Privy Councillor lhslisko, Russian Minister at Washington, is in stnteted to demand tin appropriate satisfaction for the wrong committed, in support of which he has to put forth the declaration made by timers' Pierce on assOllllllg the presidency of the republic. A M ELBOVIINE correspondent of the Nation has furnished some particulars of the escape of John Mitchell from Van Diemen's Land, which assume a particularly unheroic character. Mitchell is said to have waited on the police magistrate with a letter resigning his parole, but before the magistrate had time to peruse the letter he left the office in haste, mounted a horse which was in readiness, and gal ' loped ott; accompanied by two other persons, who were prepared to defend him.
