FROM OUR NEW YORK CORRESPONDENT
New YORK. SEPTEMBER "a, 1853.
The advices by the Africa 60 far towards con-
frming the views have previously expressed as to
the Eastern question, and that Russia has no in
tcntion of evacuatng the Danubian Provinces. The
latest telegraph in the London Times assigns rea-
son for her probable refusal even more frivolous
than the one suggested, which was, that she would,
in the absence Of better excse demand indemnity from
Turkey for attending the occupation Instead
Of this it appears that the Sultan having made
modification in the of the Four Powers the dignity
Of Russia will not admit of any thing of the kind from
him. whatever Difference she may be disposed pay to the
views and intimations of her friends and allies
That there is evident growing apprehension in Eu-
rope of arising in that quarter admits Of doubt,
particularly that very surest barometer of public feel
ing the stock market, indicates it, by the decline in
prices consols being quoted at 9G4 All doubt however
on the subject will be removed now in few weeks.
The next most and probably The most important Euro
pean subject for the Of the crop and the
bable demand upon granaries.
The first telegraph of the that the French
Government had officially denied having made any pur
cAases of breadstu thought it pretty bold step for
them to have announced after the notorious evidence to
the contrary that the crop in France not short but
after the ongcontnued assertions in the European jour
nails and the general notoriety OF the fact well the
various letters to which have had from the very
best sources of correct inormaon both in England and
France of these purchases, detailing the extent of them,
some of the houses employed for the purpose, and the
leading points where the purchases made, thought
1T little too bad for such assertion to be off
cially promulgated The receipt of the details of the
news however shows that such denial has been put
FORTH but the contrary tact acknowledgment of the
fact by declaration that in the the Govern
ment had adopted it had intention to interfere with
the private operations of commerce.
The by this arrival does net in the least alter my
belief to the fact of short supply of food in Europe
and that shall be called upon largely in order to make
up the deficiency The Governments of Belgium, France
Sardinia, Rome and Naples have all issued DEGREES favor
ing and inviting the importation of breadstus by great
reduction the entire abolition of the duty well the
exemption of the vessels from tonnage duty These
sures have been adopted except where there
alarming prospect to the probable supply; and we
even that in places in Italy there has been al
ready riots in consequence of the scarcity of food.
Some of the circulars from England state that Great
Britain will require to supply her deficiency much
fifteen millions of quarters of wheat This is
nous quantity, and is nearly equal to the entire wheat
crop of the United States but you recollect that
Great Britain ardys requires large supply Of foreign
grain and that during the past year. when there
what is called short crop, though by full
one, she has imported nearly ten millions Of quarters 1t
is the payment for this heavy supply that has kept down
the accumulation of specie in England, Notwithstanding
large quantity of it which has been poured in
her from the United States Australia and other places
discussion has sprung up here to the probability
and am inclined to take ins sac q s
it an exaggerated estimate she really should requr
so much it-with the probable demand for the cont

present but the fact that prices Of brcadsus hsy
rather receded is proof that the wellnformed both
Europe and here do not have much confidence in de
to such extent in order supply the decienc,
in Great Britain.
We the gu pVe here for the denouement Of the
Kosta affair Washington and what effect the remon
srances of the Five Powers will the Adninstra
ton There is still difference of opinion in the publ,
press whether England and France joined with the other
three Powers but the National Intelgencer has as
serted they did and re-afrmed that assertion, will

such the fact We do exactly understand what was

sincerely hope he will attempt to maintain the

Mr.. MARCY if he puts his to document asserting
any such principles will he be sustained in 1t by the
great body Of the people Of the United States
noted that the two great organs Of the Irish population
the Cet at Boston, and the Freemans Journal in this
cityhave denounced the principle in the very strongest
TERMS.
In connexion with this subject allow to call your
attention to the following law passed by Congress the
