Know Mothings' among Catholics

Rev. Orestes A. BrOwnson, the most
learned and talented Catholic in America,
is native of our country, and has recent
" written, for the Catholic Review, a long
and able article sympathizirg with the
Native American feelings, (while denoun-
cling some of their leaders as corrupt, and
giving some very good adviccs to foreigners
and Catholics. Some Of the Catholic and
Irish papers are assailing his position, with
considerable energy; but his views will
be widely circulated, and do good, despite
the trembling, frantic pleading Of the
Psnnylraniaa and its two-penny country
echoes.

New YORK, July Is.

| NEW 1Ohh, ouiy TO-
The U. S. Mail Steamer Franklin, from
Havre via Southampton, bound for this
port, went ashore during a dense fog, early
yesterday morning, off Montauk, Long
Island She had large cargo of eight
hundred tons of valuable merchandise,
and she brought also l60 passengers. The
latter were all landed safely, and about
forty of them arrived here this morning
The position of the Franklin is considered
dangerous one, but if the weather should
continue calm, she may be got off safely.
The Franklin sailed from Havrc on the
5th inst, and touched on the same day at
Cowes, thus bringing London and Paris
papers of the 5th.
At Liverpool, on the 4th, the cotton
market was dull, and prices were unchanged
since the previous steamer Flour had
declined sixpence, Wheat was lower, and
Indian Corn dull.
The reply of the Emperor Nicholas, to
the Austrian summons to quit the Princi-
palities, has been received. 1t is pre-
emptory refusal.
Russia is determined to resist to the last
man and the last rouble. A collision be-
tween the Austrian and Russian forces in
Moldavia was considered imminent
The Russians are defending the line Of
the river Sereth.
The Austrian Commander-in- Chief has
proceeded to the seat Of war, with order
to insist on the evacuation Of Moldavia.
The news from the fleets is not decisive.
On the Goth of June, the Anglo French
Baltic feet was lying before Cronstadt.
4 general attack was expected the next
day.
1t is stated that the Prussian govern
mcnt has received from Oolodel Montuf-
fell, who was sent to St. Petersburgh with
a dispatch to support Austria in her sum-
mons, information indicating marked cold
ness on the part OF hussla.
On the 18th of june the Turkish troops
attacked the Hellekich volunteers comman-
ded by Hail Petros. After conflict of
three hours the Greeks were completely
beaten. A considerable number were
killed and wounded. Their guns and bag
gage were captured. The Greeks took
flight towards Agraphia and Olympus.
On the 2lst June, the Turkish advance
fell on the Russian army, $4,000 strong,
when a desperate battle cnsued, lasting
two days, when the Russians made good
their retreat with the loss of $500 men.
Rererses cfMe Turks
We have news from Asia, that on the
9th June, the Turks attempted to storm
two redoubts between Asurgreit and Ku-
tais, when they were attacked in the flank,
and defeated with loss of from 1900 to
1000 men, by the Russians. The Turks
also lost 13 cannons, So standards, and
their whole camp cquipage.
We hope this may prove not all correct.
SpAIN-A military insurrection, headed
BY Gen. O'Donnell, has broken out in

Louis Napoleon.

The personal appearance of Louis Napoleon

competent to the task:
That face, in appeara nee so motionless and
insenslble, is but the mask of the man within.
ardent and powerful. Those eyes are dull,
but as profound as the thought in which they
dive, and which rises at times in their orbits,
as the flame rises from the hearth whence it
derives its fire. That brow is gloomy as fate,
but expansive as creative genius. Those lips
are colorless, but full of expression: delicateIv
turned-severed: scarcely sufficiently parting.
and open just to allow the curt and precise
expression of will emanating from deep re.
Election, and inexorabIy resolved. That voice
is INDECENT and drawing, but self reliant; and
the indifference which show itself is but the
excess of that confidence. Courage concealed
by neutrality-suspicious. disguised by eentIeness
-,nfiex'bility sofened by mildness--policy
hidden by by good nature--life under marble
lire under ashes; in a word, a something
partaking of Augustus and of Titus, but with
the face Of Werther--that type of German
sentimentality. Such does Louis Napoleon
Bonaparte appear.
