Summary OF the News.
The neHa BIZ the Africa does not possesa muc!

The news BY the Africa does not possess much
interest, with one or two exceptions. II will
be in the recollection Of our readers, that Res
did Pacha, the liberal minister Of the Sultan,
was dismissed, owing, it was sup. osed, to the
bar Of absolutism and Russia, and the nenaces
Of France, whose ruler has also become absolute,
there being at the same time difficulty with the
latter country in consequence of the Porte refusing
% give up to it the guardianship Of tho Holy Sc.
palchre. The Sultan is literally disposed; and as
long - he was sustained by England, he set Rus
ia and Austria at defiance, in the case of Kossuth
and the Hungarian exiles. But Kossuth has talked
% much about the Sultan since his release from cap
tivity-even Boosting that the Ottoman wsuld Join
him in the future mediate revolution in Hungary
that the Russian govern mens became exasperated,
and set its agents to work upon the fears Of the
Sultan; sad Lord Palnerston having resigned, he
did not feel secure in his position, and from
nentary panic dismissed his miaister, which was
considered as equivalent to change from ibe-
raj to despoti, policy.
BY the Africa's news we learn that the minister
war restored in two days to the cabinet, aud no
doubt the Turkish government have been assured
Of ample support from the new British Minister Of
Foreign Affairs. The son ofReschid Pacha is mar
Yied to the Sultan's daughter. 1t appears that an
nsurrection had taken place in one of the depart
nents Of France; bat it is not likely to amount to
much. As q counserpoise to that, we learn that
Some Of the Belgian regiments had shown feeling
hostile to their own government, and in favor Of
LOWS Napoleon The friends Of international
copyright viii be glad to know that it is likely soon
70 be established between this country and Eng.
hand. While moving for leave to Introduce bill
70 carry out the provisions of the copyright
treaty with France, Mr.. Labouchere stated that
the bill would enable the government to make
similar offers to other countries of which, doubt
the United States will be the very FIRST /; and the
day not far distant when authors both sides of
the .lan.ic will have fair remuneration for their
works, wherever they are used; andsthe result will
be that better class Of bseks will be given to the
public, originality will be developed, and in
this country works by American authors will par
take ore of the national character, and be more
"racy Of the soil - than the poor limitations of
English writers, which hsve hitherto uau rped their
place.
The news from California presents nothing of az
extraordinary character. John B. Weller has been
elected to the Senate of the United States for six
years, as the SUCCESSOR of Col Fremont, who was
net candidate for reelection. Mr.. Weller is
democrat, and ultra democrat, and his brief po-
ltical career has been somewhat eventual. During
the hslcyon days of John Tyler he was q member
Of Congress from Ohi,. During the Mexican var
he was Colonel Of volunteers, attached to the
army Of Gen. Taylor. In ISIS, no ran as the demo-
cratc candidate for Governor Of Ohio but was de.
fea.ed by small whiy majority. Towards the ex-
pring days Of Mr.. Folks administration he was up.
pointed commissioner to run the Mexican boun
Diary; but shortly after the advent Of Cen Taylors
administration he was dismissed By Mr. Z wing,
Secretary of the Interior, charged as defaulter
and Col Fremon. was appointed in his place. Well
ler however, refu.cd tho charge Of defalcat!on and
set at once to work in California for the Senate
He has at length snccecded, even over our active
and energetic New Yorker, Dave Broderick: and
thus the act of Thomas Ewing intended to disgrace
q political enemy, has resulted in his promo
tion. Such are the ups and downs of politicians.
Weller is now up, and Ewing is down. AS states
man, Mr.. Weller will rank with Bright, of Indiana,
Clemens Of Alabama, and others Of that class; and
from his experience in civil and military affairs, he
ought TO be qualified for good service to the country
in the Senate.
II will be seen tina. Col. Fremont Is on his way
to Europe, from California with his family. AS the
first millionaire Of Mariposa, he can afford it. A
sew years ago he was poor engineer Of the topo.
graphical corps. Great country this-grest coun-
try.
According to the adyiSss from the Mormon re-
siOns, received by way Of Oregon, the Salt Lake
saints had reselled, and published declaration Of
independence, with q determination Of setting up
republic of their own. AT last accounts, they
were arming aud fortiying themselves, fer the
purpose ei resisting any force tia. the United
States ght send against them with the view OF
subduing and bringing them back into the Union
II this news should turn cut 20 be correct-and il
probably is--our government will have trouble in
that quarter rather sooner than was anticipated.
