at is rumored in Paris that M. de Roths-
child offered TO accept the terms proposed for
The Turkish loan, or even TO advance larger
sum. provided a mortgage was given him on

This rumor is highly suggestive. Every
rejecting Christian must have had frequent
thoughts OF the Jews, OF Palestine, and OF the
precious promises and prophecies laid up Tor
Them IN the Bible, during the thickening Of

solve all Europe. The great battle of Arma-
seGdon-the angel standing in the sun cali
ing all the fowls Of heaven To the feast of the
great God--ihe treading of the vine press
without the city, and the blond coming to the
horse brides are passages of holy writ which
come uD before the mind with awful gram
deur, clothed with the idea of possible full
hlment within short time! Palestine is
The Lords inheritance, reserved for the seed
OF Abraham. The Turkish power hulds it.
The power must give way before the plans
of Divine Providence. It's DOWNFALL is immi-
nent; and who next shall own Palestine! -
Evidently the Jews. IA fIl5
The world has wondered mt the wealth OF
the Ro'hschilds. They are Jews. Why has
Providence raised them up and placed in
their hands an aaount OF wealth equal Ia
that of an entire kingtom! May it not be
Tor such time as this! The Turkish power,
straitened for money to fight against Russia,
comes to one of the Jews to borrow. He
asks mortgage on PALESTINE; and on this
condition offers more money than Turk ~
asks. The Sultan, knowing that Palestine
is one portion of his dominons on which the
Emperor of Russia has fixed his covetous
eyes, that he may command the Medi,erra-
mean and Red Seas, and also the mouths of
the Nile, would the more readily mortgage it
to Rotbschild, to put it as far from the enemy
as possible, and identify it with the interests
of Western Europe, and by this means the
more effectualy secure the aid of England
and France. In the event Turkey is swal-
lowed up-the mortgage lies unredeemed-

Further particulars by the Arabia in rela-
ton to war prospects, only evince an active
and determined preparation for the approach
ing conflict, with few actual demonstrations
Several unimportant positions have been
gained by the Turks on the Danube
with considerable loss on the part of Rus
STA. The most threatening aspects are at
present reported in the Baltic and Gulf of
Finland. Sir Charles Napier was planning
an attack upon Helsingfors, on the 18th,
which place is guarded by sixteen Russian
ships of war and strong land forces. The
New York Trbune's correspondent, writ
ing from Hamburgh, attaches more d;sas-
trous consequences and a longer continu-
ance to the approaching struggle, than we
have been hitherto led to believe, from the
indefinite intelligence received.
In a financial respect, all parties engaged
are represented to be in a position TO be
greatly embarrassed, by a long continued
campaign, but as the Western allied powers
nave made common cause against Russia, an
ample credit is thereby created for all pur-
poses of the war. 1t will be seen in ano,h-
er column, that NJ. de Rothschild has offer
ed to accept the terms proposed for the Tur.
Kish loan, or even to advance a larger sum,
provided a mortgage is given him en- Pales-
tine. This proposition Of the millionaire
Jew will probably be accepted. The Sultan
knowing that Palestine is a portion of bis
dominions much coveted by Russia, as il;
commands the Mediterranean and Red Seas
and also the mouths of the Nile, would
the more readily mortgage it to RothschiId,
as such arrangement would not only relieve
MS Immediate financial demands, but more
efiectually secure the favor of the Western
powers, by thus effectuaIy placing the pos
session ofthis advantageous territory beyond
the reach of the Emperor of Russia.
II is currently stated that a treaty of ALI
ance both offensive and defensive has bee
entered into between England and France
independent of the present war. This move
ment, though by no means unexpected, will
excite the attention of our own government
In behalf of her relations toward those
powers. This allian will not be confined
to the continent, and its practical effects NAV
yet be made to operate against the United
States in case of msunderstandiro with
either government.

The sinking OF the John 1IcFaddcn-
Loss OF Life,

We learn the following facts from the Lou
isville Democrat in relation to the sinking of
the John McFadden, and the loss of life OH
board. On Tuesday evening last about dusk,
the steamer John McFadden, Capt. White,
bound from Louisville to Tennessee River,
with a heavy cargo, and the S. F. ]. Ira
bue, from New Orleans to Louisville, came
in collision about Is miles below Leaven-
worth, by which the McFadden was immedi-
ate.y sunk. The Democrat learns from the
officers of the Trabue, that when the Mead
den came in sight of the Trabue, she rung
her bell to go to the right, and the Trabue ac-
cordngly rang her bell to go to the right, but
the McFadden instead of going to the right,
kept directly on her course, until within about
one hundred yards of the Trabue, when she
tried to get out of the way, but it was too
late. The Trabue struck her lust aft her
gangway, cutting her almost in two, and
causing her to sink in less than ten minutes.
Three children, aged about six, eight and ten
years, Of Mr.. Hesander Colder, of Cincinnati,
were drowned, being on deck ard asleep at
the the time ofthe accident. The Mead
den was owned by the Captain and Clerk
and insured in Louisville offices. She had
large cargo Of groceries and assorted mer-
chandise Tor points on the Tennessee River,
which will be saved in damaged condition.
The wreck is a total loss-it was towed
ashore bY the Trabue.
