THE LATE FoREIGN NEws.-We publish
on our fourth page, telegraphic dispatches of
the news per Canada, from Europe IT will
be seen that the Sultan of Turkey has refused
TO. comply with the demand of the Russian
Ambassador, to give up the Hungariansrefu-
gees under his protection, notwithstanding
the attempt, on the part Of Russia and Austria
combined, ito bully her into compliance. A
council had been held, and the Turkish gov
eminent had resolved '' that the refugees
should not be given up. let the consequences be
whet they might" The Sultan of Turkey
has, no doubt, been prompted in his determi-
nation of taking this noble stand, through the
impression that Turkey will be backed by
England, and, possibly, by the United States.
We do not know what course the United
States would pursue in case of this kind
Her known policy is TO preserve neutrality in
the affairs of other countries, as we'll as to
" evade any entangling alliance" but we
think that if she could, with prudence, with
out departing materially from her neutral po-
sition, aid the Turkish government, in
her laudable and humane intention, she
would do So England can, with propriety.
aid Turkey. And should she conclude 10 do
SO, she will not only teach Russia lesson
that war with Turkey for such cause is
contrary TO the acts of humanity and the gen.
eral usages of nations, but by such course
she will be justly entitled TO the gratitude OF
all the nations of Christendom.

- FLORIDA INDIANs-The Tallahassee Jour-
nal, OF the goth ultimo, says that the Indians
failed TO meet Gen, Twiggs at Sara Soto, on
the 18th of September, but invited Gen. T.,
through Capt. Casey, to meet them on the 10Th
of October, for conference. The Journal
thinks the Indians are acting treacherously,
and DO not have any intention of removing.
The Journal also says that letter had been
received by the Governor from Fort Gatlin,
which gave intelligence of an attack by three
Indians upon Capt. Jernigan, about eleven
miles from that place. The Captain was fired
al several times from the distance Of about go
yards, and only saved his life by taking shell

CUBA.-Files of the Gaceta de la Habana

The silence heretofore observed by the Havana

tone, on the action of the President in quash-

the action of this government, in pursuing a

by the rights of nations, and the treaties ex-

and Mexico, il asserts that the citizens of Gu

tempts of the criminal adventures, and prove
to the world that every single inhabitant of
Cuba was filled with indignation at the at
tempts, as it says. of these wretches who
wish, IN this, the nineteenth century, to re-
peat the execrable deeds of the buccaneers of

CONDENSATION OF THE AsToR PLACE RIOT
ERs-After session of nearly three weeks
continuance, the trial of Judson and bis asso-
ciates, for the murderous riot at the Astor
Place Theatre, in New York city, on the 10th
of May last, closed on Friday. the 28th ult.
The jury, after an absence of two or three
hours, returned with verdict of guilty. against
all the defendants. On the Saturday follow
ing, the presiding Judge passed the sentence
of the law. Judson, the ringleader, was SEN
fenced to experience the full rigor of the law,
which is confinement for one year in the pen
itentiary, and fine of two hundred and fifty
dollars. His associates were more leniently
dealt with, being variously punished, only TO
the extent of few months Imprisonment at
most. BY the decision of the jury in this
case, the sovereignty of the law has been full
ly established, and, we think, lesson taught
the evil minded, that the consequences atten-
dant upon an encroachment upon civil law, in
the kicking up of a riot, is terrible. Though
the rioters have been convicted and will be
punished for their misdemeanor, vet public
opinion in New York is far from being ap-
peased. The city authorities are loudly cen
sured for the homicidal means which they re-
sorted 10, in order to crush the riot; and the
Herald says that the blood of the innocent
persons who were massacred on that melan-
choly occasion, still cries for satisfaction a,
gainst the city authorities, by whose folly,
weakness, and imbecility, the riot was allow
ed TO proceed. until it ended in tragedy oil

TO Mr.. Bancroft, our minister TO England, and
to Mr.. Snuires, our consul at Nicaragua, in
structing them that under no circumstances
could England be permitted to gain fresh
foothold upon this continent, and that her pre-
tensions about the Mosquito kingdom would
not be recognised by this government. This
is the stand taken by the President, and it will

that this gentleman was recalled in conse
quence of the publication of certain ISLANDERS,

charge resulted in a thorough investigation of
the affair sand Notwithstanding, his triumphant
vindication from the charge preferred against
him by the government OF Stock holm, he was

has been dealt out by the Government TO that

melted out to him.

ga-The last Chronicle endeavors very hard
to shew that the Journal has pursued course
of Inconsistency towards MIR. Secretary Clay
ton. The Chronicle says, that seven weeks
previous to the 5th inst we stated, in refer
ence to the Mosquito matter, that ii is un-
derstood that our government is determined to
support its citizens in the full enioyments of
their rights" &c. Well, now we do not pre-
tend TO deny one syllable of the quotation al
Iuded TO by the Chronicle. but we contend
that We have acted perfectly consistent in the
whole matter. In noticing the rumor of a
" sharp correspondence said 10 have passed
between the British Charge and Mr.. Clayton,
we were particular in placing a (0 query at the
word claim, [perhaps the Chronicle does not
comprehend the meaning of a queryl which
it is reported the British government sets up
to the Mosquito coast; and we also stated
very distinctly, on the authority of the cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun, that the
Government had "taken most decided stand
against the interference of England in the af-
fairs of the Musquito coast" And we further
stated, on the authority of federal papers
the Republic and Intelligeneer, that the report
of &c sharp correspondence" &c., was con-
tradicted. Now, if the Chronicle can find
any Inconsistency on our part, in all this,
we think he will have to delve deeper into
the subject than he has yet done. Our CON-
ments upon the '' blunders" of the administra-
ton were made in order to shew, as we think
we did, in very clear manner, that our for
eign affairs had already been reduced TO
critical condition, and that in the short space
of the first six months of the g rein" of our
magnanimous and patriotic President" We
have always been under the impression that
when two governments were carrying on
correspondence, that that correspondence was
invariably characterized in a dignifed and
courteous manner, even though the two ma
lions were arrayed in hostile position against
each other at the very time the correspondence
may have been going on. We know nothing
of the nature OF the correspondence between
Mr.. Clayton and Mr.. Champion, and can only
| Judge of it, from the tone which characterised
the correspondence in the French affair,
which drove NJ Pousin unceremoniously from
his diplomatic functions; and it was very ma
tural that we should draw the inference that
Mr. Clayton had been equally regardless of
his responsible position in this Musquito affair,
as he was uncourteous in the controversy
with the French Minister.
