The Europa from Liverpool 10Th, arrived
about IL o'clock She has experienced heavy
weather.
The steamship Glasgow arrived out on the
18Th.
News at Liverpool on the morning the Europa
sailed, would indicate that there had been

| If the session will permit, operations OF great
magnitude will take place, as both parties will
soon be i'll position To carry them out. A gen.
eral attack is to be made Immediately on the
Russian army, which being much extended, is
quite vulnerable. The Island opposite Guirgevo
has been the scene of several contests. 1t has
been taken and reaken several times by both
parties, and at present remains in the hands OF
the Turks.
The news from the seat Of war is very con.
Trajectory The reports Of Russian and Turkish
defeats are about equally balanced. There is no
possibility of ascrr,aining the truth. seems
most probable that no decided action has been
fought since the last adyices.
Nothing more recent known from the princ
paties. Previous success of the Turks in Eu.
rope and Asia confirmed. The Sultan off.
cally announces that he will himself take the
field at the head of his army.
!, A new note has been proposed, but neither the
Gear the Sultan will listen to it.
The course which the British will take is kept
{ secret.
, Direct French correspondence says that Ma
r poleon is collecting troops between Srasbourgh
and Marseiilcs, so that he can send off, in less
b than five days, If necessary, 100000 men for
j. foreign service.
e The repor, that the troops had crossed the

THE IRISH PATRIOT JOHN MITcHELL.-The
distinguished orator and patriot was born in the
city Of Londonderry in 1876 His father was
clergyman settled in Newry, in which town
young Mitchell was reared. The New York
Times says:
He was intended for the Ministry by his
father, but he declined that profession on the
grounds that he did not consider himself q
" chosen vessel" On account ofhis disin-
clinaton to the Ministry, e was apprenticed to
a respectable solicitor, Mr.. Quinn, of Newry !;
and, at the expiration If his term, entered into
partnership with Mr.. Frazier, with whom he
continued several years, during which he resi-
ded altogether at Banbrdge. During his
apprenticeship, when only II years old he
married Miss Werner, daughter OF Capt. Yer
ner.
Up to September, 1s45, Mr.. Mitchell appears
to have been occupied by his profession, and
had not attracted much Of the public attention,
when the publication Of the life of Aodh, or
Hug no Neil, the famous Earl Of Tyrone,
brough. him into notice as writer and poli-
tician. His career has been public one ever

expanse by our country are TO be placed in close
connection for purpose botl of defense and
commercial intercourse, and more especially
such appertain TO the communication Of those
great divisions of The Union which lie on the
opposite side of the Rocky Mountains. Tia,
the government has not been unmndtnl of this
heretofore, is apparen, from the aid it has affor-

other purpose Bat the general subject will now
present itse If under an aspect more imposing

Navy, and TO call forth the Militia to execute
the laws, suppress Instructions and repel inva-
sions, was conferred upon Congress, means
to provide for the common defence, and to pro-
tect the territory and population, now wide
spread, and vastly multiplied. As incidents 10
and Indispensable, for the exercise Of this pow
er it must be necessary to construct Military
Roads, aud protect harbors of refuge. 10 ap-
preparations by Congress, for such objects, no
sound objection can be made. Happily for our
country, its peaceful and rapidly increasing pop
patlon impose upon rs no urgent duty for pre-.
paratl0n, and leaves but few trackless deserts
between assailable points and pat otic people,
ever ready, and generally able to protect them
selves. The enterprise and energy of our peo-
pie are steadily and boldly struggling to supply
the rest. All experience affirns that whore
private enterprise will avail, it is most wise for
the general government to leave TO that ind'yid
