PROGRESS OF REFORM IN TURKEY.-A let
ter from Beywori, dated April l6, gives the
following gratifying account Of the progress.
of reform in Turkey:
'One OF the mos, important event. in the
history Of this country has just taken place
by the issue of firman, which by its future
consequences, will secure the comfort and in.
dependence of its people, and be hailed as a
blessing by the country at large. The irman
entities the present occupants Of land 10 be.
come proprietoTs, subject only 10 tithe OF
tenth of taxes, and not liable TO any other but
the ordinary and moderate tax called the
Tirdi and capilation tax. 1t was by master
stroke of policy, similar to this now adopted
that Baldwin the First proved the benefactor
of Palestine, and saved jerusalem from the
ruin which al that time threatened its i'm.
poverished people. A frman of similar
character in its general application is in pro-
gress OF preparation. Another imporian,
measure under contemplation is the building
of bridges, quays, public institutions, sc. and
the better conduct of the application of con-
vict labor; the results are certain, and were
the Turkish authorities not hampered and
intimidated by officious officials, matters
would be far better, and Turkey and her peo-
pie would be more at ease, more quiet and
peaceable, and she would long since have
improved her position as nation. Religion
is now fully tolerated throughout Syria, and,
happily, neither missionaries nor people can
of persecution"

70 We have no desire or pleasure in
prolonging useless controversy with our
neighbors OF the Gazette. We are not un-
merciful, and ifthey think the "exposition'
in the last Gazette can be Of any service
to them, we are perfectly willing they shall
have the full benefit oft. At the time the
letter was written, the editor ofthe Gazette
was not so "deathly sick" but what he
could and did attend to some of the duties
of his new Office. We can, if necessary,
adduce columns Of proof in support of all
we stated. But we shall forbear at present
and without any unkind feelings towards
the editor, we shall only say that his charges

tion. The contest for the county printing
was not between us and the Mitonian, but
with the Gazette.
In regard to our friend "Jacob," we have
only to say that his self sacrificing spirit
in assuming the burden of others, is highly
commendable, and that his humble confes.
sion would have gone down much better
had he not charged us with "frequently'
communicating with him in regard 10 our
business. This is one of the best Jokes ol
the season.

IMPoRTANT.FRoM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, June 30, P. M.
The city has been in the greatest state OF
excitement to-day, caused by report of the
seizure of the brig Rolla, and Of the impris-
onment Of the American Consul by the au-
'horiies of Cuba. The report was presented
during the day, that Cabinet Council had
been held, and that message from the
President would be send to Congress to-mor.
row, on the subject of declaration of war.
This evening, however, the news is said to
be hoax, as no official information has been
received OF the events reported. AT all
events, there was probably an informal mes
sage on the general subject of our relations
with the Island of Cuba, but the Cabinet have
no Information of the warike character of
the mornings rumors, according to our infor-
nation, and the excitement is cooling off very
fast.
This morning the Hon. Henry Clay was
taken sick in church, and will be unable 10
appear in the Senate tomorrow.

EXTRACT OF LETTER FROM THE EDI-
TOR, DATED
COLUMBIA HOUSE,
Philadelphia, June II, 1850. {

"eetPbtu, oUhe loOo' J
hardly know which have most cause to
complain of-the Post office here, in not for
warding my letters in time, or the compost.
tols at home, in putting them into type
Those who are interested in California news,
will, no doubt, be interested in the poetic
idea of "moon light diggings" whilst |, most
certainly, thought had been describing a
"moon light scene on the river Platte" The
term small "fury," instead of small "fry" of
the Press, might be overlooked, as the terms
are nearly SYNONYMOUS, which with a few
others should, probably, be attributed, in
part, TO a hastily written manuscript.
good deal of anxiety was manifested
here to learn the result of the Williamsport
Convention. The two unbribed delegates
from Philadelphia county, have placed them
selves in an awkward position, and have,
most probably, got as high up the ladder of
fame, as they will ever reach. 1t was a
small business, even for small men, for no
others would ever have engaged in it. Hon.
orabe men are seldom approached with,
much less the recipients of money in this
way, which sometimes, even in the pocket,
becomes too hot with honest indignation, for
the comfort of the possessor.
There is great rivalry at present among the
periodical publishers, and great promises and
fourishes are made 10 subscribers. There
are none, however, who get along more
smoothly than friend Cooley with his Lady's
Book, the July number Of which has just
been published, Willis, others talk he per.
forms, and thus always keeps the lead.
The markets here, as usual, are well sup
piled with vegetables, &c. Strawberries and
peas have been abundant for three or four
weeks past. These, of course, have come
from the south, and are generally much infe-
rior TO those raised in this latitude. In going
through the market this morning observed
Baltimore strawberries, selling at l2k cents
per quart, and those raised in this neighbor-
hood at s7A per quart.
As the weather is becoming warm citizens
are beginning 10 think Of the country, and
the watering places. In the course of an
other week the boats will commence running
TO Cape May, distance about 100 miles, and
time OF running or 9 hours.
The boats are of the best class and in a
few weeks thousands will be oil their way
rejoicing. number of the citizens are,
however, beginning to learn, that there are
number of more pleasant retreats, in the in
terror of our own state. For pure air, moth
ing can exceed that of our mountains, and
for scenery the valley Of the Susquehanna is
unriyalled.

LATE AND DIRECT FROM CARDENAs AND
SAGUA La GRANDE.

The Boston Traveller has the following in
tellingence from Cardenas, where the expedi-
tion against Cuba landed. 1t is TO the I'd
ult., nine days later than former advices. 1t
gives pretty much the same account Of the
landing as has already been published
"The five invaders left behind by Lopez,
in consequence of their being drunk, were in
prison at Cardenas. What would be their
fate, was of course unknown. The amount
of money taken from the safe of the Custom
House by General Lopez, is acknowledged
by the Collector 10 be not more than one
thousand dollars. So unsuspcious of danger
were the authorities of Cardenas, that though
watchman went up TO the barracks and sta
ted that steamboat fuO of men was in the
harbor, no notice was taken of it, The in
vaders, officers and all, were dressed in blue
trousers, red shirts and cloth caps. After
forming, they rushed up the streets, uttering
dreadful yells, which awoke the inhabitants
from their slumbers in alright. At daylight
on the morning afterwards, the inhabitants
began 10 return 10 their homes, and it was
sight to behold, the bay being covered with
boats OF all descriptions conveying families
back TO their domcles. The invaders, with
true Western ferocity, seemed to regret that
no more chances for fight were allotted to
them. After the last attack of the lancers,
Kentucky captain marched his company
into the square, and with smiling face
shouted, "form men, form, for now we are
going 10 having some smart fighting" After
waiting half an hour and no enemy appear
ing, he gave, with lenihened couutenance,
the order for a return to the wharf.
The Governor of Cardenas, who had pled-
ed his word Tor the release of the five pri.
soners left behind, was good deal chagrined
at the refusal OF the authorities to respect his
promise. II may be that these are the men
who were reported to have been shot.
SAGuA La GsANDE.-The brig Edward
Prescott, Capt. Bryant, from Sagua la Grande
2ist ult., arrived at Boston on Friday morn
ing Capt. Spear reports all quiet there when
he left A day or two previous, an American
brig arrived, the captain of which reported
having seen suspicious vessel with men on
board oft the coast. A Spanish cruiser was
Immediately got under way, with troops on
board, and went 10 sea, but returned in
short time without being able to find any
such vessel The captain of the brig was
then brought before the Governor for giving
false information, and threatened with impri-
eonment but at last accounts was at liberty.
The accounts from Cardenas had caused great
excitement at sagua la Grande, and fears, Of
similar invasion were prevalent there.

BALTIMORE, June II, P. M
The ship Eli Whitney has arrived at New
Orleans. On the 10th Of May, she spoke the
barque Frances, 20 days out, from Rio, bound
TO New York, with the loss Of several Of hei
crew by yellow fever.
During the week ending on the LIST inst
eleven deaths had occurred at New Orleant
by cholera.
The New Orleans papers contradict the
statement of Capt. Duperu having been sho
at Cardenas. He was in New York, repor,
says, on the middle of last month.
Seventeen Of Gen. Lopez's men arrived al
Savannah on Saturday last, from Key West
They belong to the Ohio and Kentucky d.
visions, and express their desire TO enlist fol
another expedition to Cuba.
The lad executed at Cardenas, is named
VIM. Kelly, aged 10 years. He was from
Cincinnati, and did not belong TO the invading
forces, but was on his way TO Chagres.
Capt. Lopez, nephew to the General with
90 men, and Spanish troops, who deserted
in the Creole, was still at Key West.

of his proprietary right 10 his discovery, fol
sum which, may at first seem incredible
but moments consideration will show thai
the purchasers will have got good bargain
If all that is said of the cababiliies and cheap
