Some politicians who are afflicted at the tranquil-
lity Which prevails in Europe, have taken advantage
of the circumstance, that several regiments stationed
in Hungary, are approaching the Danube, and par-
ticularly extending thenatives towards the South, as
well as of a similar movement which is said to have
been made by the Russian troops on the Dnieper, to
ascribe them to views hostile to the Porte. The true
reason is, that the harvest having been less abundant
in some parts of Hungary than others, and some
districts besides having suffered by the inundations,
change in the stations of the. troops, particularly of
cavalry, which will take up cantonments in the dis.
tricts where forage is the most abundant.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER Fltt4i PORT AU PRINCE, DATED
OCTOBER 15.
" Since 1 last wrote to you, there has been a
number of arrivals here from different Ports of the
United States; among them, the Clypso, from Be
timore, commanded by Captain Boyle. The
brated General Mina came out in her: he will com-
mand An expedition which will sail from hence in a few
days for Mexico. Vari. us opinions are entertained
as to the final result of this business. AU Americans
wish success to the efforts for the emancipation of
that fair region from Spanish tyranny. There is a
perfect calm here at present: no apprehensiostilitiesons are
entertained of an immediate renewal of h
with Christophe.
•• The 10th of October, which had been fixed on
for the President of Hayti to take the oath before the
Senate, conformably to the 143 d Article of the re.
visedConstitution,passed with universal satisfaction."
EltriM THE NEW TORE OASETTE OF THE 11TH NOV.
His Excellency Mr. Daschkoff, the Russian Mini.
ster in this Country, has sent a Courier to his Go-
vernment in the ship Ann Maria, which sailed on Sa-
turday for Liverpool. The sailing, last summer, of
the United States sloop of war Prometheus, on board
of which it now appears Mr. Coles, the private Se-
cretary of the President of the United States, was sent
to Russia, joined to some other circumstances which
have come to our knowledge, make us fear that a
very serious misunderstanding leas taken place with
Russia.

Private letters have also reached ns from New
York, dated the 11th of November. They state that
the Russian Minister had notified to the American
Government that his functions were at an end ; and
that be should leave the country as soon as be could
arrange his affairs. This decision is said to be the
'Molt of s negotiation between Mr. DASCHICOPF and
the American Cabinet, relative to• the arrest, some
nine since, of the Russian Consul• General, for a
criminal offence commi.ted in Philadelphia.
The C .ngte.s w4s to meet on the 2d instant, for
the dispatch ut business.
