The LateHigsacer's columns are devoted
mainly to the Secret English and Rus
sian Correspondence recently forced from
the English ministry by a successful
Parliamentary motion. 1t developes an
effort On the part of Russia to induce
England, early in 1853, to consent to the
partition Of Turkey, and in it Nicholas
represents himself as about to take his
steps only because believing the Otto
man Empire on the point of dissolution,
he processes to conceive it to be his duty
. to take care that his interests do not
suffer in any changes that may take place
in that quarter. One remarkable point
IN this most remarkable correspondence
is that Russia plainly says that Austria
does not dream Of having will in oppo-
sition to hers. That she would not con-
suit France because the interests of France
In the matter were opposed to hers. while
she considered those of England identi-
cal with her own. She did not consider
Prussia and the German States as having
strength sufficient to render it necessary
TO consider what their views on such a
policy might be. The bride offered to
England for completely in this scheme o.
partition, was Egypt and the Island o.
Gambia. OF course, the English Cabinet
REUSED it, though they are Judged at home
TO have been cr;minally remiss in failing
to denounce the plots of Nicholas tro,.
the beginning. 1t is further thought by
the English press that after Russia was
repuised in this matter by England, sh,
nsde similar application to France W.
may also add, that while in the midst o
this intrigue, and while protesting tina,
she would do nothing to accomplish hel
anti-Turkish schemes without givins
England due notice in advance, her arm,
of IA 900 men was being secretly con
centrated On the Danube for the com
mencement of her present operations
against the Sultan's dominions. This
is the English view OF the subject
snd, viewing it in this l;~ht, this
publication, which covers son.c ten OF
twelve solid newspaper columns, mus
create here. as in England, a profound
sensation. 1t develepes the fact tha
Nicholas conceives fear Ct revolution Il
be the great lever with which he hopes
IN future to rule the cabinets of Europe
and that the latter recognize their DANCE,
from successful revolution to grow out o
this Turkish war, to be most imminent
1t strikes Us, however. that there is ano-
Their side to this story, to which we will
probably refer tomorrow.
The Union is indignant at Hiram Ket-
chum, Of New York, for recent lecture
of his delivered in New York, wherein
that gentleman declares that Southern
honor died with Calhoun and Clay. The
Union accuses Mr.. K, of belonging to
the Class OF public men (Silvey Grays)
who put their patriotism out at inter

On a moment longer than their current
political professions pay well. The Union
extracts from and reviews at some length,
the remarkable secret correspondence to
which We refer above and also con-

the Secretary of the Treasury explains
how the new warehousins law is to be
construed and administered by them.
