THE MOLDAVIAN ELECTIONS.

The Ministerial Oesterreiehische Correspondenz of
Vienna thus makes known to the world that the
Moldavian elections were annulled by the Porte,
at the requeA of all the partif s to the treaty of
March 30 :

"On tie 27th of August, Prince Kallimachi, the
Torkieb Ambassador at this Court, male known to
the Government of his Majesty the Emperor that
the Sublime Porte, having noted (akt neltmend) the
communications received from the Vienna and Lon-
don Cabinets, issued orders that the Moldavian
elections shonld be annulled, kind that new ones
-hould take place in 15 days from the time of the recept
of the orders relating thereto.
" Similar comcnunic itions have :also been made to
those Governments whose representative., in consequence
of the recent difference, bad broken off their diplomatic
relations with the Ririe.

" The latest intelligence from the Turkish capital is,
that the representatives of the Sates above alluded to
have renewed their diplomatic relations with the Porte,
and hoimted their flags on their respective residences."
The 'Moldavian Secre' ary of State ad interim, has
published in the official paper the following article
on the subject of certain conficlental letters which,
about a fortnight since, figured in the columns of
almost all the leading organs of the press :

"Several newspapers have published letters relating to
the Principality of Moldavia, which were stoles from the
Kaimakan,PrinceCimaky-Vot,o•orides, and not hist by him
as the persons who received them asserted. The cmtents
and text of the letters in question were greatly altered
in the publication, and the undersigned Secretary of
State ad interim has therefore been instructed by his
Excahmey Prince Kaimakan, formally to deny the
authenticity of several phrases which were invented by
a small party that dons not hesitate to calumuia.qi most
respectable persons, in order to make them hostile to the
Kaimakan.

Sir Thomas Wyse, English minister at Athens,
arrived at Vienna some days ag ) from Carlsbad,
basing receive•l orders from his government to re-
turn immediately to his post.

" Count Buol," says a letter from Vienna of the
30th, " yesterday hid a long conference with Sir
H. Seymour, the English ambassador, and in Vie
evening despatches were sent off to Baron de Pro-
keseli at Constantinople."

A tele,,2raphic despatch from Hamburg announces
that the King of Denmark has convoked the Diet
of the Duchy of L-tueelanrg for the 9th, to deli-
berate on new constitutional measures to be sub-
mitted by the Government.

The Duke and Duchess de Braba,nt, after attend-
ing the openiiig of the Exhi hi• ion of Fine Arts at
Brussels on Tuesday, went by a special train to
Malines to receive the Grand Duchess Maklmilovna
of Russia, and her husband Duke George of Meek-
lonburg-Strelitz. Shortly after their arrival at
Malines, the Grand Duchess and the Duke arrived
from Germany, and the illustrious personages
pissed some time together at the station. The
Grand Duchess and the Duke then proceeded to
Ostend, where they joined the Grand Duchess
Helen and the young Dukes of Leuchteribbrg, who
have been staying there some time. The Duke
and Duchess de Btabant, on their part, returned to
Brus6el4, and in the evening attended the Thea•re
de la Monnaie, which re-opened for the season with
the opera of La Reine de Chypre.

The Madrid journals of the 29th ultimo contain
no other news than that M. Hidalgo, Mexican
charge d'affaires in that city, had, in consequence
of the rupture of diplomatic relations between Spain
and Mexico, left Madrid, in obedience to orders
from his government ; and that negotiations on the
M-xican affair will henceforth be carried be carried
on between the ambalsadors of France and Eng-
land and the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

The Stafietta of Turin states that the captains of
the Ferrara and Minutolo have bee❑ dismissed from

iug responsible fur the treasona,hle correspondence
and arms they had on board. The same journal
states that a few political arrests were made at
Turin on the 31st ult.

ATALERIC A.

[A summary of the following appeared in Thl
Sun of yesterday

The news of the three days covered by the Fulton's
advice is of minor import. The New York papers
follow with great interest the Atlantic Telegraph
enterprise, of the suspension of which they were not
aware, and speak well of Lord Carlisle's " hand-
some speech" at Valentia. The Indian mutiny is
also discussed with eagerne3s. Great surprise is
expressed at the course taken by Lord Canning in
gagging ;olrnals of hiel characterlike those of India,
and still greater surprise that the English public ac-
quiesce tamely in a measure so foreign tl their
traditions of liberty.
A meeting had Lean held in New York of men
who hadbeen enlisted in the States by British agents
during the war in the Crimes. Their object in
meeting was " to prevent any more men being de-
ceived by the fallacious promises of the British go-
vernment. Many were the deceptions which had
been practised upon them, andmany were the hard-
ships which they had suffered, and they were re-
solved to put a stop to the enlistments then going
on in New York for the British service in India."

A very bold and successful uttering of counterfeit
money took place on the night of the 18th in New
York, when about 10,000 dollars worth of spurious
bills, all of the denomination of five dollars, on the
Lee Bank of Massachusetts, was circulated in every
possible place where bills could be changed. The
large hotels were among the sufferers ; the theatres
suffered ; every grocery, liquor-store, and shop was
inundated with them, until at last a suspicion was
aroused, and several arrests were made. The police
were chasing the culprits, and it is believed that
about forty persons in all would be held to answer.
The correspondence of the War Department at
Washington confirms a report from Fort Kearny
that a party of drovers, with 800 head of beef cattle
In charge destined for the Utah expedition, had been
attacked by the Cheyenne Indians, and the cattle
run off. The same correspondence shows that
Californiawag,gon-road parties have been delayed by
Indian hostilities and sickness. The New York
papers state a very serious fact in connection with
the Utah expedition : they say that two of the
United States infantry regiments lost as many as
500 men by deertion. Brigham Young, it is said,
is hardening his heart, and preparing to give the
Federal t.oops infinite trouble.
The New York Times has stated that the mission
of Captain Simms, of the United States navy, to the
East, is connected with a project for seizing For-
mosa. The New York Herald denies this ; and the
Philadelphia Press gives the following as an authen-
tic statement on the subject
Commodore Armstrong, commanding the East India
squadron, received a letter from Mr. Robinet, an enter•
prising American merchant, who for more than a year
has been carrying on the mercantile and shipping
business at Ape's-hill, Island of Formosa, with the in-
formation that the American ship Highflyer, wrecked
upon that i-land, had been plundered, and its officers
and craw murdered by the natives. Some time after,
another American vessel, the Progressive, was seized by
the Chinese authoriei, and the officers and crew impri-
soned. They were only released on the payment of a
heavy ransom. All these proceedings wera contrary to
the express understanding with the authorities of Ihe
island, that Mr. Robinet should carry on his business
unmolested, and under which he had been acting, with
the American flag flying from his house, for at least 12
months.

Commodore Armstrong despatched Capt. Simms to
inquire into and a4cerfain the correctness of Mr. Rohl-
net's report. The commodore instructed him in a cau•
tious, prudent, and friendly manner, to learn from the
authorities all that could be certained on the subject,
reporting to him, by every opportunity, such informa-
tion as he should obtain. His head-quarters were directed
to be at Mr. Robinet's, Ape's-hill, where the American
flag bad been flyin4 as stated by Mr. RAinet, by per-
mission of the authorities fur more than a year. He was
to abstain from hostilities as far as possible, but in case
of necessity ho was to call upon the American ship
f..3cience.

Ail these facts were communicated to Dr. Parker, our
commissioner to China, with the further sta:ement that
Captain Simms would be kept at Formosa until the
Government could be heard from, and that this step
might be necessary to legitimate a prior American foot-
hold, in me our Government should lo k to future re-
prisals and occupancy. Dr. Parker approved what had
been done. The la•t communication to the Govern-
ment was dated April 10, 1857, at which time nothing
had been heard from Captain Simms.

A murder was committed in Broadway, New
York, early on the mo: ping of the 22d ult., in the
" Shaw House," a dining saloon. The parties to
the affray were an actor named Nymns, lately
engaged at Wallack's Theatre, and a Tombs
lawyer named Wk;staff. They met in the bar-
room and soon quarrelled—about a woman, it
is sad—and after, many hard epithets Wagstaff
struck Nymns a powerful blow. Nymns, re-
covering in a moment, drew
.a revolver
and fired twice in quick succession at Wag
staff. The first ball hit Wagstaff's arm, and pa,s,l
iwo the breast, injuring the lungs. The second
ball passed -through the month, and upwards
through the bead, a part of which was shot off.
Wagstaff fell to the floor a corpse. Nymns retreated
immediately to the street, and had not been ar-
tested when the steamer left. Wagataff was well
known about the town, as is also Nymns. They
moved among the crowd, both male and female,
generally denominated as "fast."

- The sales of cotton in New York on the 21st were
confined to about 500 Lales, 200 of wh'ch were in
transitu. Middling up:ands were quoted at 151 c.,
and middling New Orleans at 16 c. Flour was
dull and irtec;ular, and one descriptions closed at
a further decline of about 5 cent 3 per brl. Wheat
was heavy for common and ordinary grades, while
prime was unchanged.
