An American Missionary recently entered box of
Bibles at the custom house at Consantinople valuing
them at certain amount; but the Turk sliding scale
of valuation to suit themselves regardless of invoices
oaths of importers, appraised the Bibles at double
the value placed upon them by the missionary, and
demanded the advalorem duty of per cent. on their
valuation. In this dilemma the missionary awaited
himself of the Turkish law, which permits duties to
be paid in kind, and paid them in Bibles out of
nv hundred. After that he had no more trouble. He
paid what duty he liked They wanted no BIZ

Anstrla and Hungary.

The Russian Interrcati0n.-The intervention of the
Russians is at length officially announced in the follow
ng short article in the Wiener Zeitung of the lst in
slant "Tho instruction in Hungary has attained
such hight during the last few months and has in its
presentsph distinctly shown that it is combi-
nation of the whole strength of the European subvcr
sve party that it the interest of all states to support
the Imperial Government in its efforts to prevent the
dissolution of social order which is aimed at there.
Actuated by this weghty motive the cabinet of his
Majesty the Emperor has been moved to claim the
armed intervention of his Majesty the Emperor of
Russia which has been granted in the most generous
and efficient manner. The measures mutually agreed
on are in full progress"
1t is stated that the total Russian force placed the
disposal of the Austrian Government amounts to 100
900 men but that 1000 of them will be held in re-
serve and will not at first enter the Austrian terrific
ries. The Russian vanguard of 900 men is stated to
have already crossed the Cracow frontier. The first
Russian corps WILL it is said, amount TO $4,000 men, &
enter Hungary by way of Trenschn. A second corps,
should be found necessary, will probably march by
way of Gallica, through the Jablunka Pass, into Hun
gary and third by way of Dukla, across the Beski
da (part of the Carpathans) The point of entrance
of the two last bodies Of troops, each of which will
amount to 90 900 men, WILL however, be regulated by
circumstances The Russian forces destined for Tran
syvania amount to 900 men, and will enter partly
by the Bukowina and partly by the southern frontier
of Pennsylvania. These Russian movements have
caused several of the camps in the frontier of Poscn
to be abandoned by the Russian trdgPs, which have
long occupied them.
Hungarian Triumphs-The Hungarans have gain.
ed new trumphs the Austrians under the COM
mand of Weldon, near TERED far from Presburg,
and forced them to retire rather quickly to the latter
place.
We learn by advices from Vienna that Weldon, had
moved his head quarters to Laxenburg, six miles from
the capital and the strong fortress of Schwcchat

achch had been cut Off and had taken refuge in Ess-

The French AT Rome.

correspondent of Galignani's Messenger writes
from Rome OH the first inst. follows:
Yesterday the city gates, within gunshot of St Pc
crs, attacked by the advanced guard $1,000 mem
of General Oudnots force, and, after severe con-
ct, repused with great loss on the part of the
French they lost about 800 men, comprising about
i5 prisoners, among them 10 officers of rank. 1t is
superfuous to say that the French fought with great
bravery, but they met by of equal bravery,
and the conflict desperate. The Romans defend
ed the barbados with about 5000 men and an i'm
mense number of citizens including women. The
Romans had reserve of about 10 600 men, troops and
volunteers, who not allowed to act IN order TO
be kept fresh for the renewal of the attack, which is
expected hourly. The Romans have lost Is officers
aud about 2l0 men, some of them belonging TO the
most respectable families in Romeo General Oudinoi
must have been deceived, he calculated a reac.

admitted that the Romans have not much republican,
ism in them but they are unanimously opposed to the
restoration of government of all Cardinals and Jesu
its Rcinforcemens are hourly coming into the city
that if the attack is renewed the loss of life and dc
structon of property must be immense, as the city
will be defended street by street. The French prs
oners have been treated with the greatest humanity
and surgeons and provisions have been sent out by the
Romans TO the French camp. The Romans, wht
sympathize with the French, asoundcd at this un

and people whom they have offended.
