We were not aware Of the broadsde poured into
us by the Enquirer, for than twenty-four hours
after the discharge II was lucky-for, although
annihlated, we were unconscious Of our predica-
ment.
IL seems that our contemporary takes in bad part
ourinabity TO appreciate the virtues Of the inn
maeulate Caleb Gushing. And what aggravates the
enormy OF the offence, is that the Philadelphia Led
ger C'Federal AbolitionD anu the New York Tribune
C'ln6delic AbolitionO also entertain an unfavorable
opinion Of Caleb. This coincidence ofopnion is made
the basis Of charge akin to conspiracy between us
and the aforesaid naughty Journals against the said
Caleb To relieve our contemporary on this score; we
must inform him that we have recollection of hay-
ing any thing in relation Caleb in the Tribune
and from the general leaning of that paper we have
been the lookout for demonstrations in favor of
the present Administration. which knows sowell how

Foreign News.

We devote considerable space TO copiouS extracts
from the last numbers Of the London Times. The
concluding paragraph of the article Of the 25th to
which we referred yesterday, and the whole tone Of
its continental corrcspo ndence, very far from in
dicating speedy and pacific termination to the Eas
tern troubles. The Times evidently apprehends that
is the purpose of Russia retain possession Of the
provinces during the winter. She has altogether SUI
perseded the Turkish authorities, and appropriated
the entire Government to her own officials. The
Times and one Of its correspondents both assert that
the abandonment Of the provinces by Russia will be
an indispensable prerequisite final settlement of
the questions in dispute.
Russia, in the meantime while others were nego-
tiang, has achieved as many results without firing
a gun, as she might have expected from brilliant
campaign 1t is scarcely reasonable suppose that
the Gar has any idea OF rcnqpishing these adyanta
i;cs. He has won them, whether fairly or not is a
matter of small consequence to him-and he will be
likely to hold on to them. He has no faith in the
alliance between England and France and believes
that the capitalists and shop keepers of England are
averse to war; that they would abandon Turkey to
her fate than encounter the cost of hostilticS
We persuaded therefore, that il Is his intention to
winter his army in the Danubian Principalities II
he does So whether war follows or not it cannot fail
to have sensible influence upon the expectation Of

Of the production beyond the OF the inhabitants
and which heretofore has gone to supply the de
mands of Western Europe This, however. is specu-

selves.
The temper exhibited by the Mussulman popula-
ton is another element TO lie taken into the account
1t appears that the of the Turkish people are ca
for and have BEEN up to this time restrained
with great difficulty. The Times correspondent init
