Tie recent arrival of the Garrck and Bargundy'
from Europe with favorable news, only make US
all more anxious to obtain possession of the impor-
tant lligence thst may expect IN few hours
by the British Queen. She may bring the result
of the special commission to try the Cha'tis's In
Wales, aud fresh outbreaks consequent thereon;
and it is than likely that she VIII also oring
some importan. and definite intelligence OF the late
of the French troops in Africa. Ihe BRUSH queen
has now heen ont I6 DAYS and the sailing packets
have all made such remarkably short passages to the
Westward lately confidently expect her before the
close ofthe week. and probably before we shall agas
have time or space to allude to the subject. Her
news WILDE 20 days later and will be of the utmost
im,or,ance From Spain, from Africa. from Turkey
and from China, the news will doubtless be intens-
iy exciting Ia these four places, four great men
have rose up sway for time the dcstinies OF their
country. Trstany in Spain, ADD e Kader in Africa,
the Young Sultan in Turkey, and Chang Lin in China
The latter gentleman with his five wifes, We have
already given sketch of; therefore, we shall let him
rest for the present which is than the British
will.
We stated, by recent arrival, that the young
Sultan of Turkey had granted sort OF reform D'ii'
charter of freedom liberal constitution to ms SUP
iects; and we greeted the movement as one grea'
step on the part of the Grand Turk towards ciFza-
,;on Since then he has made two other important
movements towards imitation OF the great progress
of reform going en- in the civilized world lie mas
advocated the temperance system, and sent hEmans
TO the Governors OF his provinces to plant corn IN
stead of opium reater he ans to go the ieet"-
total Society. Thirdly and lastly, he has made ar
rangenents with Count de Pontois, the FreEch MI
mister. to contract loan of $4,000 000 These are

will be to start a grand National Bank; then his
bank will suspend for the relief Of the Turkish COM
muuitv. Next he will study finance, and issue
dourishing statements. Then he will send out mis-
sionaries to enlishten the rest OF the world an
the 1ayseres Of the seraglio, and the pleasure OF
having a plurality Of wives. He bids remarkably
fair for a commencement. He is but young man.

mise as he United States Bank Of Pennsylvania.
His Sublime Highness, although only Is wears OF
age, looks %. He has a weak appearance, but
coun,ensnce full Of intelligence his eyes are bright
and piercing and he has air Of great benevo,ence
He wears the same costume as that adopted by his
father together with the little black cloak that is
worn by the Turkish nobility; but in order to dis
tnguish his rank the clasps in briliiant, as are
ais the agrette o the cap and the decoration whicA
he wears round ais neck. lie recently gave an
audience TO the Prince de Joinville and his suite,
who were entertained by the Grand Vizler and the
high dgnitaries with pipes and coffee. Each had
servant at his elbow, with gold embroidered nap
kin, which he applied from time to time to the
moustaches Of the guest.
The leader in Spain is singular man.
Tristany is now between Is and so years Of age
He is or the ordinary size; his features strongly
Marked his speech short and the sound of his voice
harsh and cultural. In his physical appearances he
pretty much resembles wild beast. He is as hairy
as any bear Of the Pyrenees, which animal he could
overtake outrun, and distance, in climbing up moun
tans. When Erbistondo commanded I'll: Cariist

Inferred that cleanliness is not OF the virtues OF

position and is indebted for the inf ience he pos

command with Don Jose, consummate military
man. and in other respects the very reverse Of the
canon OF Girona. The army Is divided between
these two chefs. sagarra is supported by all the
honest people Of the party, and Tristany by the

The moving power in Africa, Add ell kader, is
plso an extraordinary man. lie is about 81 years
old, OF great bravery, skiiful general and most
sagseious statesman. He is Of the ancient family Of
the Marabout., and descends from the Fstimite |
Caliph.. He ~ the most formidable foe that the
French have to contend with, in their efforts to
assert their pretended rights over the vast territory
extending from the Mediterranean to the ga Lara,
