ALARMING RAvAGES OF THE POTATO
f,r ROT IN IRELAND.
The European Times contains reports OF
the unfavorable appearance of the potatoes
in Ireland. A sudden and very rapid decay, |
similar to that which occurred in previous
years. has taken place in the potatoes OF the
late planting. The early sorts have escaped
We have before us the most unques'ionaole
proof that serions change has taken place
in the rot but willis! the prices ruled low
amid undoubted abundance, the alarm has
been sounded in all the Irish journals. and as
far as our own experience extends, the po,a-
toes seemed more and more tainted every
day.
The Threatened Rupture bct,oeen Turkey and
the Russian and Anstrian Governments.
By far the most important political news
by this arrival, is the possible and even pro-
bable rupture of Russia and Austria with
Turkey 1t forms the chief,opic of discourse
in the English and French journals, as well
as amongst all classes, and in its paramount
importance, the Roman difficulty, as well as
all other matters of national importance APP
pears TO have been almost wholly lost sight
of.
The most recent accounts from Constanti-
nople state that the Emperor of Russia has
made formal demand through special en-.
voy to the Porte for the surrender of kossuth
Bem and other patriots, who played promi-
nent part in the late Hungarian struggle, and
who have sought refuge at Wdden, on the
Danube in the territories Of the Sultan.
The Turkish government, with manliness
which cannot be too highly commended, re.
fused to be bullied into compromise of lis
independence, and Prince Rodgival, after
having Intellectually endeavored 10 bully the
Sultan into compliance with his demands,
has taken an abrupt departure from Conslan-
tinople, and Count Titoii, the Russian Minis
ter, has closed all diplomatic relations with
the Porte.
England and France, through their respec-
tive representatives., have prevailed with the
Sultan in keeping him firm in his resolution.
Already in England and France cabinet copn-
ellis have been held, to consider these grave
circumstances. Not the slightest doubt can
be entertained of the result that should Rus
sia persist in demanding the surrender OF her
devoted men, an European wal will be inevi-
table.
The Paris Journal des Debais of Thursday
says
awe are glad to learn that England and
France are most cordially united in their de-
termination to support their Ambassadors in
the advice given by them TO the Porte, re.
specling the eytradi,ion Of the Hungarian re.
fugees.
A note has been drawn up by these two
powers Of a mos, energetic character, which
it is thought will have considerable weight
with the Emperors of Russia and Austria
The firm language of the London papers is
noticed with great satisfaction by the Journal
Des Debats.
The army of Ronmelia is ordered TO hold
itself in readiness, and the local troops are
being embodied.
There is no reason TO doubt but that the
best accord prevails between the English and
French Cabinets, and it is said that power
full French and English squadron will be or
dered into Mediterranean forthwith, TO be
ready for any emergency pending the issue
of this absorbing question.
Austrian politics are of subordinate interest
Ii is positively asserted, with every proba-
bility of the truth Of the report, that the for
tress of Comorn has surrendered and thereby
an efIuson of blood has been avoided
In the southern provinces the excesses OF
the successful soldiery has caused martial law
to be proclaimed.
No single eiiectual step has been taken so
far as Austria is concerned, towards the sell
,lement of the question relative to the unity
of Germany.
In Prussia everything seems quiet ard the
Chambers are transacting business with de-
corum and regularity.
In the Duchies The excitement is as grea,
as ever, and it is quite evident that nothing
but the existing armistice backed by pro-
minent military force, keeps the people o.
Schleswig .Holstein from open resistance.
In Piedmont the Chamber Of Deputies on
" consented to the treaty with Austria il
consequence of the hard and insxorabls ne
