FOREIGN NEWS BY THE ASIA.

We have before given atclcgrophic summary
of The news received by this steamer. The fuller
abstracts by our mails add but little Of import
ance.

vious enough TO be sure, but these continued
megotiaion and solemn scdcrunfs about spunc-
tilios, as The correspondent calls them, look
very hitie like sincere desire TO preserve the
peace Of the world. 1t rather seems To us more
akin to a lawyers motion for c ninuance TO
bring up the reserve force under the more favor
able circumstances of winter which will r. nder
the allied fleets poweres<.
The report, outbreak in servia is wholly Of
a local character.
| The Austrian Protest in the Kosta matter
was attracting some attention. The following
extract from the Paris Steele is an index TO the
tone Of the French press generally, AID will be
read with interest. II is not little remarkable
that while Wing presses at home are abusing
the Administration for its supposed endorse
ment of Captain Ingraham, our more generous
foreign contemporaries are loud in their express.

have opened fire on the iiuzzar brig, il the cap

Of the conditions essential to obtain natural "a

Union. But Nj. Kosta was admitted to swear
fidelity to the American government, and he re-
ceved an American passport. 1t was on the
faith of that passport that he proceeded to Tur-
key, in Asia, and il is allowable to declare tina,
the affair does not concern him any nore-it
lies between the governmental The Unien and
every government which undertakes to violate

Kos,a Austria has taken good care not to

net Of Vienna has ndulg in the lucubra,ion
which it has lately published, and which of it

and without deigning to take the opinion Of the

toned t. yield to a protection which does not
/ protect her. has dismissed AL, Pacha, the gov
crnor Of Smyrna, formerly Grand Vizer, and
one of the most intelligent men OF the Ottoman
| Empire. There is no danger that the same
treatment will fall on the American captain. -
The United States will uphold the respect due
to their flag and rather than abandon man
protected by an American passport, they would
burn down Trieste, and again raise up the re-
| public Of Venice. They care little about the
treaties Of 1915, before which the governments
If Europe stop short, because these treaties
were the affairs Of princes at the expense Of the
rights Of nations. In truth, WREN all slu;nbers
in kind Of feliehism for the status quo, ii
would be almost to be wished that Austin
would venture TO brave the an ,er Of the Uni
ted States. But sic will not attempt it, well
knowing that the Americans would not hesitate
TO defend the right as il quires to be defended.
However, We register, as OF good augury, the
memorandum OF Aus'ra; for it is Of nature Of

The general news from France and England,
lacks interest. We have before spoken of the
death Of Gen. Montholon, the companion Of
Napoleon's captivity at st. Helena. 1t was I'M
derstood that public funeral will be given the
remains.
Some Of Mazzini's agents have been arrested
in Italy.
Altogether the news market is rather dull
which is, we take it, rather good sign. In
still times, trade aud the arts flourish, and the
times that looks dullcst in a newspaper are the
brightest in the ledger and shipping list.
