kossuTH's OPINION ON THE QUESTION OF WAR.
A European correspondent of the Now York
Times, generally understood to be Louis Kossutl,
in letter dated the 5th of July, says
sAs the Gear has threatened that he would
his armies to pass the frontier if his q.lt,n-
tissimum is simply and purely not signed you may
depend upon it he will attack. He means quite
other things than that which he professed in his
diplomatic revelations. With Russia, be sure of
it, more is meant than what is said
cit was also already reported by telegraph
that the Russians had crossed the Pruth on the
25th of June. But that's not correct; the orders
were only issued on that day from St. Petersburgh
However, you may rely upon it, that at this mo-
ment the Rubcon is already crossed; and the
Russians have thrown the gauntlet down.
aThore will be still further efforts to arrange
matters automatically; but, so far as know, the
endeavors will fail, and war is unavoidable

18th instant has the following:
"Herr Alexander met with most terrible check
at Clinton, Dewitt county, last week In the play
ing off the hocus pocus Of the magic pistol, it
proved to be loaded with balls and the young man,
George Smith, who was to stand up and catch a
fictitious ball in his mouth, received the contents
of the loaded pistol in his left side, and from the
character of the wound and the season of the year
the probability is that it will terminate his life,

pendent on him, nconsoable,"

CRIMINAL COURT.
UNITED STATES VS.. JAMES w. SCHAUM-
BERG
SATURDAY, July %, 1853.

SATURDAY, July %, 1853.
On the opening of the court, Mr.. KEY
stated that DR.. Spence, the absent witness, had
not arrived. And after some conversation it was
agreed that if he did not reach the city by the ii
o'clock train, his testimony would be dispensed
with.
At IL O'Clock, DIR. Spence not having arrived,
the defence recalled
Mr.. Wai,porth, who said discharged about
month ago the boy who brought me the pistol on
the night of the shooting, and do not know where
he is His father told me that he was going to
take him to Ohio.
The defence here rested.
The United States called
Elias Boudinot, by whom they proposed to
prove that Schaumberg's position, when he shot
Fuller, was not as had been represented by wit
for the defence, and also that on his return
to the hotel after the pursuit of Fuller he did have
a weapon in his hand
The CoURT ruled the evidence to be inadmissi-
bethat at this stage of the trial the United States
were to be confined to testimony rebuttng new
facts proved by the defence, and not to sustain its
evidence in chief
The United States then closed the evidence
Mr.. KEY, for the defence, proposed to submit
the case to the jury without argument.
The DIsTRIcT ATTORNEY assented to that pro-
position, upon the understanding that the court
would instruct the jury as to the law.
At about half-past one, the DIsrRIcT ArToR-
NEY said they had prepared statement of what
they supposed to be the law applicable to this
case and had shown it to the counsel ON the other
side, who would not agree to it. Under these cir
cumstances, and as the other side had already had
the benefit of one argument on the evidence, they
would proceed to argue the whole case to the
jury.
Mr.. KEY contendcd that the Government hay
ing assented to the proposition to submit the case
without argument, ought now to be held to the
agreement.
After some debate, the CouRT said tho United
States had the right, under the circumstances, to
argue the case if they chose.
MIR. CHILroN, ON behalf Of the prosecution, then
addressed the jury until nearly four O'Clock, re-
viewing the whole doctrine of the law of self-de-
fence, and the facts of this case as that theory
could be applied to them, and had not concluded
when the court adjourned.
