FOREIGN NEWS.
Arrival of the steamer Canada.

LONDON, Nov. l6.
Adviccs from ConStantinople to the
lst inst, state that the British fleet
was anchored in the Alontai Bay,
and would remain there until the ar
rival of the courier with the answer
of the Gar to the communication of
Fuad Eifendi. Should that answer
prove unfavorable, the fleet will pro-
coed at once to Constantinople. Sir
Stratford Canning communicated to
the Turkish Government, that the
English Cabinet had unanimously
agree to form an offensive alliance
with the Porte, in the event of hostile
proceedings on the part of Russia.
The same communication has been
made by Gen, Aupeck, in behalf Of
the French government.
Rome.-From Rome we have little
that is interesting. 1t seems, how
ever, that the Pope meditates a
speedy return to Rome. His arr-
val, at one moment, was actually an
nounced. The Spanish troops in the
Roman territories ha, received Or
ders to return to Spain.
Fr0nce.-Politira l news is impor-
tant. The National says that the
interview between the President and
Mr.. Rives was most gratifying. The
American Minister made an address
on the occasion, but observed silence
on the subject ofthe misunderstood
ing between France and the United
States. The President, however,
alluded to the affair, in terms hatter-
ing to the American Minister and
his country.
The dispute between the Emperor
of Morocco and France seems to In
crease in violence. The French
consul at Mogadore has been treated
harshly and ANONYMOUSLY. A French
frigate has been sent to his relief,
and there is every probability that
the affair will end in the lombard
ment of Tangiera.
.7astraa and Hngary.-From
Hungary we learn that fresh coils
sions have taken place. Noless than
10 additional executions Fat Arad
were hreatened. Kossuth's valedlc-
tory address to his countrymen,wrlt-
ten at Orsora, is published. It's writ
ten in his most enthusiastic and Po-
etical style.
Haynau was carrying on the mos'
unreienting cruelties, unchecked oy
higher authority. The Jews at Pestn
are threatened with violence unless
they pay up the contributions DE-
manded.

The Washington Union, In commenting on
the late foreign news, makes the following remarks
about bloody Austria. We cordially endorse every
sentiment uttered by the Union on the subject.
Austria continues to outrage humanity by her
bloody and barbarous butcheries in Inflated HunSa-
~. Her conduct should place her beyond the pale
of intercourse with civilized and Christian nations.
For cold-blooded and atroclous barbarty, she ex-
ceeds all other nations, Russia, perhaps, excepted
pretending to claim place among the enlightened
nations of the world. A Government that thus sets
the moral sense as well as the sympathies Of man.
kind at defiance, should be herselfexpelled from all
association or intercourse with civilized commun-
ties. Christian nations should no more think Of
holding diplomatic intercourse with her than they
do with savages.

6 O'clock. P. NJ.
The convention met pursuant to
adjournment; wherenpon the COM
mitlee appointed to draft resolutions,
reported the following:
Whereas, the enterprising and
commercial charac ter of our nation
demands and requires speedy inter-
communication, and the spirit of the
age is being as rapidly progressive
as the requirements of the country;
and whereas, the unparalleled pro-
gress of our young State is rapidly
tending to give her a prominent
place among her sister States-a
place which we should be prepared
to ornament; and whereas, the con-
struction of a railroad from Dubu-
que to Keo uk, passing as it would
through the interior of the State,
and thus opening an outlet to the
abundant resources of the country,
is eminently calculated rapidly to
further on our growth, and conduce
to all the interest Of the State, and
should address itself to the united
support of the citizens of Iowa;
therefore,
Resolred, That this convention
earnestly recommend the project of
railroad from Dubuque to Keokuk
to the attention of the people of the
State of Iowa, and ask their zeal
Gus cooperation with the objects of
this convention.

Thc Mexican PROTOCOL DIGicuI.y.

Correspondence bctioeen the tirO GOrern-
ments.-The Washington correspondent
of the New York Express, says;
"Of "Ihe Mexican Protocol" | learn
beyond what have before said, that it
has been a subject of controversy be-.
tween the official representatives of the
two Governments, but the correspon.
dence has decided nothing, and the sub.
ject has been beqleathed to the new Ad-
ministration by the late dominant party
as one of the most intricate, perplexing
and difficult to be disposed of,
The Mexican Minister claims that 10
all intents and purposes the so-called
protocol" is a part of the Treaty, and
that without the explanatory provisions
it could never have been approved and
signed" by the Executive and Ministers
ofthe Mexican Government. ....
The answer is that the Mexican Con
gress approved the treaty independently
ofthe Protocol, aP3 before the Protoco
was signed, and that the explanation
were an after act. The response is tha
| it was no treaty without official signatures
and that the Executive was part of the
treaty making power, and the only ne
gotiator known to the Mexican Govern
ment.
The replication again is that the irca
ty, as approved by the Senate and Execu
tive here, is left open only to the fair con
struction of fthe original text by both Gov
ernmeuts.
There are points enough to make thu
controversy interminable. The Senate
here however, never knew anything of thu
Protocol until it was recently brought t,
light. They are, therefore, called upol
to disavow it, aud the construction pu
upon it by the Mexican Government. l

From Mexico.

From city of Mexico papers to the
Gath of February, the N. o. Picayune
gathers the following:-
The Mexican papers which we have
read, abound in complaints against Santa
Anna. The State and General Govern
ments are called upon to pronounce per.
petual banishment against him. His
name is used as rallying cry by all dis
contented spirits. From the pains which
the Government through its organs takes
to denounce him, we think they must
have grievous suspicion of some design on
his part TO return to Mexico.
The war of castles which has been so
fatal in tho Sierra and in Yucatan, has
broken out in the southern part Of the
State of Mexico. The news was commu-
nicated to the capital by Gen. Alverez,
who was collecting troops to put down
the insurreclion, aud expected to DO able
to do so ehectually.
Complaints are flowing in necessarily
upon the Government, of Indian incur
sions upon the frontier States, and pray
ing for force to prote ct them.
The American deserters who were in
corporated with the police force of the
capital, give infinite trouble to their off.
GERS by their lawless conduct. Instead
of aiding to preserve order, it requires
all The vigilance of the authorities to keep
the soldiers straight.
A paper of Durango reiterates its COM
plants that numerous armed force oi
"North Americans and smugglers," had
entered the State by way Of Preside de-
Norte, and we're in league with the In
dans to make permanent Judgement
,here.-Gov. Trias had gone to Durango
for troopst to drive out the Indians, and
we suppose, the North Americans with
them.
The Monitor Republican, of the 2lst
invokes the attention of the Government
to the proprioty of dive rting the trave
from the United States to California, a.
tar as possible, to the Tehuantepec route
in the place of that Of Panama. 1t ad
vises that the Government should close
with tho offers of Manning & Mackintosl
to open the communication, which shall
make Mexico the highway for the com
merce of the world between the two na
tions.

Liberal DEFER.

During the coming summer, the ques-
tion, whether the people shall vote for a
Convention TO amend the Constitution,
will be agitated. That it is important
for every citizen of Ohio to fully under
stand it, no one will deny, and conse-
quentIy we are induced to make the fol.
lowing liberal offer. Our new volume
will commence in few weeks, and from
that time we will supply ten copies of the
Gazette, for one year, to club, who shall
remit us fifteen dollars in adUance.
Our columns will be open to the dis
cussion of both sides of the question, and
while for our own part we shall support
the calling of a Convention, the other
side shall have no reason to complain for
want of a hearing.
To person, getting up club and re.
mittiDg us fifteen dollars, we will give a
copy ofthe Gazette for one year.

Dr.. s. Nj. SI,,,mmon.

This gentleman is now in town, at the
Tallmadge House, where he intends to
remain for few days.
Concerning him we extract the follow
ing article from the Louisville Journal:
"For some time past our attention has
been occasionly attracted by notices in
the newspapers of remarkable cures per-
formed by this gentleman in various parts
ofthe country. He invites all who are af-
ficted with neuralgia, spinal affection,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, paralysis, epilep'
sy, contraction of the muscles, weak or
inflamed eyes, piles, cancer, tetter, scro.
fnla, ulcers, general debility. &c, to call
and see him. Ofcourse we cannot an.
swer for his being able to perform what
he promises, but he certainly brings many
exit xtiaordinary testimonials from men well
known; aud Que fact that speaks for him is
that he charges nothing when no cure is
performed, aud that he is even willing to
wait year, in order that all doubts as
to the permanency oflhe cure may be re-
moved"
