II Highly important movements are in the
germ, in Washington, Albany and this city. seri-
GUS division has taken place between Mr.. Clay and
Mr. Webster the former going against the great land
bill, the other for it in conjunction with Mr.. Van
Buren, and Mr.. Calhoun. In opposing that BILL
which is favorable to the occupation of the public
lands Mr. Clay will raise up storm of indignation
against his popularity in the west. General Harrison's
friends will evidently take advantage Of this position
and thus carry the whole west for the next presiden-
cy. Probably also Mr. Webster is tired of running in
couple any longer with Mr.. Clay. Be this as it may,
we learn that the friends of HARRISON in this city
preparing 10 get up large public meeting similar to
the one in Cincinnati and apattern for Albany and
the rest of the We the edge of all kinds
of revolutions.

Romish clergy there, that they are in state
Of permanent hostility to her, and they are
encouraged by the Pope to arm against her.
The affair Of the archbishop Of Cologne has
caused, together with the question Of mixed
marriages, such dvsitn in the population
OF Prussia, that the King is only half upon
his Throne-and Austria is jealous Of the
Protestant efforts Of Prussiain Piedmont, Ma
Piles, and Sicily. The Court OF Berlin is on
very Indifferent terms with that Of Vienna;
almost in state Of open rupture with that
Of Brussels, and is beneath the weight OF
Papal anathemas and almost excommunicsN~

Though recent attempt to counter-revolu-

be more successful. The Queen Is mott sure

Great Britain. The Miguelists have more

Queen are not quiet for week together. IL
is indeed terrible thing to quit the path OF
