Austria and MIR. webster. Reply,

A correspondent OF the Boston Atlas, writing
from Vienna under date of the 9th Of April,
says:
"Not word has appeared in the Vienna papers
in relation the Austrian charges last letter to Mr.
Webster, and Mr.. Webster's reply. This may
seem the more singular the news Of the fugitive
slave affair at Boston was announced by telegraph
from London in great characters. A difficulty OF
their own representative with foreign power,
which threatened at time to interrupt friendly
relations, would seem to concern them more near
ly than the liberation of negro. But it appears
tho government docs not wish to have the subject
called into discussion at homeit might excite at
tention. and throw out light that would be dis
agreeable. From the beginning of the difficulty
there has not been word said in the public papers,
on one side or the other"

."rhe Presidents message, az the opening ofthe

plainly his own and the unanimous opinion of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin

are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
sures of last session. That opinion is that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
"a final settlement of the dangerous and excitin
subjects which they embrace; that though they
swcre not free from impcrfections, yet in their
mutual dependence and connection, they formed
ga system of compromise the most conciliatory

Their attempt revolution This effort at anarchy has
shown itself in of the battalons of the troops OF
the line.
"On Sunday morning, at a. M, the battalion
Vadivia, called out by one Colonel Urriola, broke
into open mutiny, and marched at once on the ar
mory and the barracks of the engineers. These
were carried with some loss OF life. Attack was
then made on the barracks of the artillery. Here
the force Of the skirmsh appears TO have centred.
The alarm was sounded; the militia gathered in
numbers and in haste. The president, the minis
ters OF the interior, OF treasury, and of justice,
well as the chief justice Of the supreme court were
soon gathered at the palace. President Bulnes as
sumed the directions of the National Guard, which
had assembled to check the sedition. The mutt
neers had raised quasi barricade on the Canada,
in front of the hospital. Colonel Garcia placed
in command of the troops of the line, made up Of
the battalion Chacabuco and the faithful of valdi-
via. BY vigorous movements the skirmish was now
soon brought to termination; and before mid
day the capital was quiet again.
The Santiago paper, La Iribuna, states that the
number Of the killed is between sixteen and TWEEN
ty; and of the wounded upwards of fifty. Colonel
Urrioa, the leader OF the insurgents was killed /;
and Colonel Garcia was wounded; several other
officers both sides lost their lives, or were badly
wounded,

INTERCOURSE BETWEEN NORTH AND SOUTH

Non-Intercourse with the North was o favor
lite idea a few months since with some Of our
Southern neighbors. The newspapers calculated
upon the powerful tendency Of such policy to
change the sentiment of the North, and the
ability Of the South to pursue an independent
career Various projects for carrying it into effect
were introduced in Southern Legislatures, and it
seemed as il they were determined 20 punish the
North, cost what it might. There were not
wanting Northern journals to raise the cry OF
danger to Northern trade and manufactures
SEQ, they cried, what the Abolitionists are doing
Their fanatoism is compelling the South to be-
come our rival in manufactures, and already
it is seriously proposing to establish direct trade
with Europe.
Well--a few months have gone by. Southern
Legislatures have fretted aud fumed, threatened
non iutercourse and disunion, entertained fierce
resolutions and listened to menacing speeches,
aud then adjourned, without doing anything at
all
Non-intercourse is no longer heard Of at the
South but there are fools enough at the North
to be frightened at any other bugaboo their
friends at the South my choose to manufacture.
Non-intercourse will take place whenever the
two sections shall find it more profitable than
commerce with each other-not before

closed upon the bill, and throughout the day hVe
minutes speeches were made on numerous amend
ments, many of them merely pro Jor"a. In the
evening, the rule allowing such speeches was re-
scinded or suspended, so as to cut OIL debate.

THE WEST AND SOUTH.

A subscriber at New Orleans, in business
letter TO US, remarks
"Some OF the papers here are discussing the
proprety Of taxing the products Of the free States
offered here for sale AS means Of retaliation for
their opposition to Slavery. This is measure
quite unnecessary. The trade OF the Western
States is already drawn of into other channels
and outlets to such an extent ms very materially

New Orleans have spent some weeks among
the large business operators, who all agree In
this opinion. IL il be 30 now, how will the mat

them access to al the Eastern markets at all sea-

IL is well to know when and where to be
courageous in the discharge of our duty.
A few words more in relation to the message
The President is guilty of bad manners, to say
nothing more, towards a sovereign State. After
the decision Of the Supreme Court in the Prigg
case, which denied to the States all power to
legislate for the execution Of the fugitive clause
of the Constitution, and asserted for the claimant
Of slave the right to capture him wherever he
might be found, even without legal process, sew
eral Of the States Massachusetts, included, thought
proper to repeal their Legislation on the sub
ect and to relieve themselves Of all responsibility
for the capture and surrender Of fugitives from
service or labor by prohibiting their State OIL
GERS from acting in such cases, or their ais from
! being used as places Of confinement for alleged
| fugitives All this legislation was in harmony
with the decision of the Supreme Court, which
asserted for Congress exclusive jurisdiction over
the whole subject This decision was hailed with
rejoicing by the Shareholders, who held that the
power Of Congress was equal to the full execution
of the fugitive clause There was nothing on the
face Of the legislation Of Massachusetts,, nothing
in the reasons on which it was founded, to coun-
tenance the idea that it was her intention to null
lily this clause of the Constitution. And yet the
President, after reciting the statutes OF Massa-
chusetts in relation TO the matter has the hardi'
hood grossly to impeach her loyalty to the Con
stitution to attribute to her purpose, which Is
not only not apparent" but has been dis
claimed by her public men. 1t is deeply to be
lamented,n he says, "that the purpose OF these
enactments is quite apparent Ii was to prevent
as far as the Legislature Of the State could pre-
vent the laws of Congress passed for the purpose
of carrying into effect the article Of the Consitu-
ton Of the United States which declares that no
person held TO service or labor in one State under
the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in
consequence of any Law or regulation therein, be
discharged from such service or labor but shall
be delivered up on claim of the party to whom
snch service or labor may be due from being
car,ied uuo 18tet' The charge is disrespectful to
a sovereign State, reckless and unauthorized. If
the decision of the Supreme Court is to stand, as
the true Interpretation Of the Constitution, the
| legislation of Massachusetts, is right, and does
not interfere with the proper enforcement Of the
Fugitive Law.

TIE BOSTON RESCrE SECTIONAL STRIFE.

The Telegraph, as usual, brought us exagge-
rated reports of the rescue Of Shadrach, the al
legged fugitive from service, and the newspapers
in Boston generally seemed anxious to give
high cooring to the transaction. The Compro-
misers here, in Congress and out, hailed it as a
ool-send-for it afforded an occasion for addi-
tional demonstrations of their loyalty to Slavery
The " Organs were filled with lamentations and
excavations and Mr.. Clay brought the subject
before the Senate, in the shape of a resolution
calling upon the President for information in re-
gard to this attempt resist the laws Of the Uni
ted States. One might have supposed, from the
terrible pother, that mob in this country was
an unheard-of thipg--that violent resistance to a
law had never before been attempted-that the
city of Boston was in arms against the General
Government, and that the Union itself hung
trembling over perditiou. The Union demanded
blood, the Reptile, fire and birthstone. Now was
the time for the President to show himself man,
fit for the crisis The marshal should be dis
missed. proclamation issued, the military called
out. And So on the strength of telegraphic re-
ports, with no authentic and full information be-
fore him. the President yielded to the clamor,
and issued his Proclamation, as follows
