THE SNow.-A jaunt to Chicago has Just given
the opportunity of seeing the country along the
line of the Erie railroad, with northern Ohio and
Indiana, southern Michigan and a small portion
of Illinois. Everywhere the winter has 90 far been
very OPEN one. At Chicago there is no snow at
all, and has been none. In Indiana Ohio, Michi-
gan, and this State, the goound is just covered,
but we have not seen FIVE miles of continuous good
sleighing in the whole distance On Tuesday of
last week some half dozen inches of snow FELL and
there was promise of steady winter weather, but
it soon became mild again, and few days more
or such weather as We are now having must leave
the ground quite bare. The farmers are generally
anxious about the crop of winter wheat, which

Foreisn-ArrivaI Of the Niagara.

The English and French fleets have
positively sailed for the Dardanelles.
Tie probabilities of war were deci-
dedly strong. Lloyd had raised the rates
of insurance in the Russian and Turkish
ports from ten to thirty shillings. Mr.
Layard has brought motion into the
British Parliament calling its att entior
to the attitude of Russia towards Tur-
key.
An immense hostility exists in Ire
land against the proposed bill for the in
spection of Nunneries.
The growing crops in England and
Ireland look well.
In France the leading journals lean to
the opinion that there will not be war
between Turkey and Russia.
Changarnier denies he had offered his
services to the Porte; but the Moniteur
announces that the French ard English
fleets had sailed for the Dardanelles
but at the same time say the difficulties
will be amacably adjusted.
The King of Bavaria had offered to
mediate between Austria and Switzer-

1t was the general belief at Vienna

agara sailed were deemed less favora BILE

messenger sent from st. Petersburh to
Constantinople had no discretionarypow-
ers, but simply carried the Cars de-
nand on the Porte, to accept Menschi-

abide the consequences.
The Porte was making the most ac-
tive preparation fer defence, and had
10000 choice troops ready TO attack the

THE MEs1LLA VALLEY--Gov. Lanes

THE MEsILLA VALLEY Lanes
statement The Mexican papers pub
lish communication FRONT overnorLane
of New Mexico, addressed to the Mex
lean Commissioners, in relation to the
new boundary dispute. The Governor
asserts that the President and Congress
of the United States had disapproved and
repudiated the provisional line run from
the Rio Grande to the ella, amply jus
titles his proclamation, and that the want
Of instructions from Washington does
not in the least invalidate his official act
He claims that his authority for the
course he pursued is 10 be found in the
Constitution and laws of the United
States, in the law Of nations, in the trea-
ty with Mexico, and in his appointment
as governor of the Territory. Even had
the line been run in conformity with the
treaty, the fact that the government OF
the United States had refused to ac-
knowledge it, imposes upon all its Off
GERS and citizens to pursue similar
course:
He assures the Mexican authorities
that the q. States do not wish to see
Mexico fall, but rather prosper and be
happy under free trade and friendly re-
lations, and thai they do not desire any
territory which is not theirs by right
He then enters upon discussion of the
facts in relation TO the survey of the
boundary line, and says that it was run
exparte by Mexico, with the sanction Of
Commissioner Bartlett, against the opin-
ion of Maj. Graham, (and he thinks with
out that of Lieut.. Whipple,) and under
portest of Surveyor Gray, whose con-
sent was necessary to make the line va
lid.
He also alleges that there are album
dant witnesses 10 prove that New Mex
leo has exercised jurisdiction over the
territory, and that the records of the
tribunals of Dona Ana, of which 1T was
an integral part will sustain the fact.
