FOREIGN News.

The steamer Pacific arrived at New
York on the 24sh bringing the following
not very important news:
The beet has been temporarily with
drawn from Cronstadt to Bro Sund, for
what object is not stated.
There had been no battles Of conse-
quence either on the Danube or in Asia
Prussia has sent a special envoy to
Austria urging Austria TO refrain from
further steps with France and England,
but rather to join Prussia in new negotia-
tons for peace.
DistrusL is again excited respecting the
intentions Of Austria, she having at Prus-
Sla'S Instance cOuntermaHded the advance
of her army into Wallachia.
The Russians are, therefore, not in a
hurry to evacuato WaIlachia on the con-
tIary, the Cars letter to Prussia says
that. under any circumstances. he insists
On retaining the line OF the StcreLh for
strategic reasons.
Considerable mystification still hangs
over the diplomatic relations Of the pow
erS. Austria has again reSortcd to medi =
alton, ard it is expected that fortnight
will clapSc before the next phase of nego-
t;ations transpires.
There was an action at Gringeos on
the 9Th OF July, when the Turks crossed
the river in force. Meeting with the
Russians, a battle ensued when the latter
lost 500 killed and wounded.
The Russians still occupy the. Danube
bank from the Alata downwards. The
French and English continue to conccn-
trate between Varna and SchumIa-5O,-
600 now there.

Centurion OF CoNoREss.- people
have be come 50 Disguised with the intri-
CUES and corruption of members OF Con-
gress that any announcement of anything
Of that description, ceases to create any
surprise or interest. Many members of
Congress use their influence and position
to {" make great deal of money" and
are always ready to enter into any scheme
to rob and plumber the treasury. Almost
daily private schemes are presented, beg
ging appropriations from tho treasury.
and in order to succeed in their purposes,
large sums of money are paid to members
of Congress to advocate and 'press these
schemes forward. Lately very exten-
sive schemes is on foot-the extension Of
the patent of Mr.. Colt. the inventor of
Colts five shooters and it is said this
gentleman has bribed number of Con-
gressmen in order to get his patent extern
ded. ,aa. .5a
Among those who stand pure amid
corruption is our own Representative, the
Hon. John Letcher. He has offered
resolution TO investigate the matter and
ascertain whether any improper means
had been used to secure the passage of
any bill This resolution seems 10 meet
the appreciation Of the country, and 'wo
trust the whole matter will be thoroughly
siltcd and exposed. = Valley Democrat.

The Congressional Canvass.

Tomorrow, Thursday, the Sd Of Au-
gust, is the day for holding the special
election in this district, for member of
Congress, TO supply the vacancy occasion
ed BY the death of the Hon. J. F. SnoJ-
grass. The contest will be warm one.
The Wings, Anti-Nebraska men, and all
other loose material that can be gathered
together in opposition to Democratic prin-
ciples are making the most strenuous eff
forts to secure the election of Col. Benz.
IL. Smith /; counting upon discussions
in the Democratic ranks to ensure their
success. They are, however, counting.
without their host. Our accounts from
other counties, as we'll as our observa ton
in this, show that the Democratic party
is as united upon the nominee Of the
Chenille Convention, as it ever was upon
any candidate ; and all that is necessary
to the triumphant election of Mr.. Lewis
is a full vote. We hope. therefore. that
every Democrat will attend the election
and vote for the nominee.

Bombardment and Rarning 81 san

Bombardment aud Burning of San
Juan.
The steamer Prometheus arrived Al
New York on the Gath. She brings the
important news Of the bombardment and
burning of the town of San Juan, by the
U. s. sloop-of,war Cyane on account Of
outrages perpstrated upon the American
Consul. Mr.. Borland.
The sloop of war Cyane arrived at San
Juan on the 18th inst. to demand full
and satisfactory apology for the insult to
Mr.. Borland. The authorities and inhab-
itants refused to make the slightest apol :
gy.
Captain Hollans. then on the 18th in.
slant issued proclamation to the authori-
ties and residents that unless an apology
was made BY 9 in the morning on the
18Th, he should proceed to lombard the
town. No apology came. Captain H. in
the mean time took possession of the
Transit ComPany's steamers, and sent
them to tho town. offering protection to
all who chose to accept it.
Precisely at the time designated, the
cannonadIng commenced and continued
with brief intermissions until three in
the evening. No disposition was mani.
tested on the part of the inhabitants
to come to terms and at 4 P. NJ, a party
was landed from the Cyane, commanded
by a Lieutenant, and burnt the town.
Nothing remains but one or two small
buildings in the suburbs to mark the
spot. No lives were lost.
The agent of the Transit Company ten
dered a free passage per the steamer
Prometheus to all who wished to leave,
which few accepted.
The Cyane would sail for Boston on
the 17th, taking home Mr.. Fabrious, our
commercial agent.
The British war schooner Bermuda
and the West India mail steamer Dee,
and a British murchant-man were witness
Ses to the scene. .
The rainy season has commenced in
earnest.
The difficulties at San Juan did not in
terFere with the transit of passengers,
The steamer Pacific which connected
with the prometheus arrived down on the
18Th, reports that on the night of the LIST
they saw the Sierra Naveda going into
San Francisco.

Burning of san 2 s,at or Greytown.
We publish in another column on ac-
count ofthe destruction of San Juan by
o. s. sloop-ofsWar Cyane, on account of
outrages perpetrated upon the o. s. Con-
sui
This San Juan is town without a
country. It is located in Nicaragua,
Central America, but is not amenable
to it. We believe the town was first
built by the buccaneers, and used by them
as place ofredezvous = and from all ac-
counts we have ever seen of the place and
its authorities, one would suppose they had
never left. it. The town was governed by
a kind of a city council, which together
with its general inhabitants. were rufians
and fugitives from justice, whose princi-
pal ob]ec: appears to have been the plum
der of every one who had the misfortune
TO deal with them. Tin was defence ofthe
right OF Americans that Mr.. Borland
got himself into the difficulty, and nobly
have Americans indicated his own and
his country's honor. The town was I'M
der the protection Of the celebrated Mus
quito KrDg, who formed 50 important port
Of Mr.. Clay tons Central American trca-
ty with Great Britain, and WHO'S himself
under the protection Of the British gov

name of "town," being contemplate
little village of wooden houses and mud
huts. its destruction constituted no deed of
valor and the only thing that attaches i'm
Portance to the act,is the principle involved
The world must be taught that the rights
of Americans will be maintained. What
John Bull will say to brother Jonathan's

TO be seen.
