well attested cases of remarkable cures, from
the use of this remedy, have occurred, some Of
which have been in this vicinity, and the instan

increasing the amount of drawback allowed on
refined sugar has passed. On this subject the
correspondent of the Boston Courier writes as
follows under date Of Dec Is:
Among the orders of the day. in tho House,
came up the bill "aliowing an additional draw
back on sugars refined in the United States,
and exported therefrom." Mr.. Cambrelenr
went into short exposition of the object Of tile
bill it was opposed by Mr. Storrs of New York,
on the ground that it would be detrimental to
the manufacture in the country He was fol-
lowed by Mr.. Gorham, who, spoke at some
length in favor of the bill Mr. McDuffie then
obtained the floor, and held forth against the
bill, vehemently protesting his belief that it was
number one of series of similar bills, all which
were Tariff in their grain, and part of the
American system. The debate was continued
with much spirit by Messrs. Storrs, Sprague,
and Drayton of South Carolina, until after the
usual hour of adjournment, when il was laid
upon the table until tomorrow. II is thought

TURKISH OFFICERS. The titles applied to
the various Turkish officers, being entirely
different from those of any other European ma
ton, are frequently not understood For the
benefit of such as need the information, we
give the following explanation of some of the
titles which most frequently occur in the ac-
counts of Turkish affairs. The Grand Seign-
Tor, or Sultan, is the chief ruler, corresponding
with the Emperors of other nations. The Refs
Efcndi is the Secretary of State, or Prime
Minister The DiUan is grand council of the
principal officers of the empire, answering to
tho cabinet councils of England America.
The Mutt s'the officer at the head of the re-
igious affairs of the government, the support
of the Mahometan religion being closely inter-
woven into their political system. The Grand
Vizier is the head of the military department,
and, on extraordinary occasions, commands the
armies in person. Pacha pronounced PaShaao)
is title given to the governors of provinces,
and sometimes, perhaps, to those holding sub
ordinate commands. 1t is, however, a title of
great dignity, and is conferred only on those
who are highly distinguished. The Captain
Pacha, or, as we frequently see it spelled,
Captain Pdcha, is the commander in chief of
the feet and naval forces.

Russia AND TURKEY Accounts, since our
last, although they do not much vary the as
pect of the contest between these powers, con-
firm the impression that Russia will eventually
succeed in enforcing her claims on Turkey, if
other European powers should not interfere, of
which there is, at present, no probability. Al
though they met with temporary check, yet
they have been able, generally, to maintain
their positions, and have succeeded in captur-
ing Varna, the key Of the maritime route to
Constantinople. This must be a severe blow
to the Turkish government. In all their for
mer wars, the Russians never were able to take
this place. If, then, in single campaign, they
have effected more than in the whole of any
former war, with the vantage ground, thus OBJ
tanned, for renewing their operations in the
spring, when their armies are recruited by the
renforcements now on their way, the next
campaign may be expected to be attended with
decisive results There is, in our opinion, no
probability of any arrangement between the
belligerents, till it is forced upon one or the
other by the fortune of war. The claims OF
Russia are urged in spirit of the most infex-
IDLE determination, and resisted by Turkey, as
being incompatible with her existence as an in
dependent sovereignty. One of the conditions,
insisted upon by Russia, the possession of the
forts which command the navigation of the
Black Sea, it is said, would always place Con-
stantnople at the mercy of that power. We
may, therefore, look for severe conflict be-
tween them the next season, in which we an
ticipate the success of the Russians.
