self of his recent march to Acapulco, to test
the accuracy of the recent reports that the
mountains of Guerrero contain extensive coal
mines. The result of his investigation salts
fled him that there are almost inexhaustible
supplies of this valuable article, which can
be obtained, in anyquantity, at Acapulco, at
a cost considerably less than the freight on
that now carried there from England and the
Atlantic States, for the use of our steamers.
Santa Anna has also satisfied himself that the
undeveloped precious mineral wealth of Mex
leo, is UNNECESSARILY greater than has ever
heretofore been supposed; and it is his desire
and purpose to adopt measures to make these
treasures available.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR-PLAN OF
THE CAMPAIGN.

The Russians are in full retreat from Wal
lachia and from the Dorbrodia, though they
have not altogether abandoned the siege OF
Silistria. Nearly all their renowned Generals
are wounded, and Dannenberg has taken the
command. Omar Pasha's next move-since
Silistra is already freed, though the Russians
continue to lombard it from across the Dan
ube-is the relief of Rassova, which, as it
now turns out, has not been abandoned by
the Turks, and holds out against fearful odds.
1t is likewise said that the Russians have
been dislodged from Glurgevo; still, this re-
port requires confirmation.
The retreat of the Russians from Wallachia
will be attributed to the circumstances of
Austria, though it is the necessary conse-.
quence of the defeat before Silistria, and of
the arrival of the auxiliaries at Varna 1t is
believed here that the troops sent to Varna
will Immediately embark once more, and sail
to the Crimea, the object of the last campaign
being the expulsion of the Russians from the
Principaities, which is to be the task of Tur-
key-the occupation of Transcaucassia, which
may soon be achieved by Schamyl Bey, and
the conquest of the Crimea and of Sevastopol,
which must be closed by st. Arnaud and
Raglan. As to Schamyl, we have no positive
information, but it is beyond doubt that he
must have struck serious blow in the rear
of the Russians, as they have suddenly aban-
doned their threatening position towards Kars,
and left the plateau of Armenia, which is now
only defended by the fortresses of Akiska and
Alexandropol, (Gumri.)
The Turks will now take the offensive all
along their Asiatic line. Selm Pasha is to
advance by Katais toward Tifis, and to meet
there Guyon and Kmetty with the army of
Kars and Erzerum, and Schamyl descending
from the mountains into the plains Of Geor-
gia. The plan is excellent, and the result
must be the surrender of the Russian army in
Inconsistencies speedy peace or
truce battles the operations. Austria is en-
deavoring to arrange such negotiation, in
concert with Prussia, but the Gar still relies
upon his forces, though vanquished every
where. He did not even come down to the
Prussian frontier, to meet his brother-in-law;
until the honor Of the Russian arms is re-
trieved, he does not want any final negotia-
tons; but he would be glad to gain time for
recognizing his army.

THE GREAT POLITICAL JUGGLE OF
THE ACE

The New York Herald, which is always
we'll posted on foreign affairs, contends that
the recent arrangement for Austria to occupy
the Danubian Principaities is decidedly for
the advantage of Russia, and that the posi-.
ton OF the former power as ostensble arbiter
and stakehC.de between the Western Pow
ers and Russia may well excite surprise and
distrust amongst the European liberals
That Power, whose existence was lately
quivering in the balance, should now herself
hold the scales, is fact rather humiliating to
the pride of great nations like England and
France, and we can well understand the dis
quietude and alarm which The equivoca con-
duct OF the Aberdeen ministry and the APP
preaching occupation of the Principalities by
the Austrans, with the consent of Russia,
have given rise to amongst all classes and
shades OF politicians in both counties. The
speech of Lord Lyndhurst, in the House of
Lords, and the motion announced by Mr..
Layard, in the House of Commons, reflect
faithfully the general impression created by
those doubtful circumstances, and we are in
clined to think that the discussion will rather
confirm than do away with the idea that Aus
tria and Russia are playing into each others
hands, and that the English ministry are play
ing into the hands of both. If the latter
hypothesis be not correct, then Lord Aber-
deem and his colleagues must be the verest
dupes that ever pretendedo diplomatic fore
sight. By allowing Austria to hold posses
sion of the Principalities, in trust, they do
not as they imagine erect barrier against
the encroachments ofs,,Isatter upon the Of
toman territories, but they afford seasonal
BILE relief to the overstrained resources Of
Russia in that and other quarters, and enable
her to concentrate her forces upon those
points which are exposed to the most press
ing danger. AS long as the Austrians hold
the Principalities she has nothing to fear from
the operations of the allies against her South
western frontiers, and she will be Consequent
ly in position to direct all her efforts to the
defence of the Crimea, which it is now the
great object of the coalition to wrest from
her. If this arrangement be not the result
Of concerted plan between the cabinets of
Vienna and st. Petersburg, we must say that
Russia is strangely favored by the blindness
and fatuity of her enemies. No conjuncture
of circumstances could have more opportune-
ly adapted itself to the present exigencies of
her position, and at the same time removed
tho difficulties that opposed themselves to
the,prosecution Of her ulteror designs.
