We wish to call the attention of our
readers to the advertisement Of this gen
tleman, whose extensive practice and
great success is sufficient to induce ali

dispatch from MIR. Gadsden, dated Mexico, 18th
November, confirms the report of the expedition
against Lower California. United States troops had
been ordered to suppress the expedition. A perfect
understanding seems to exist between Mr. Gadsden
and Santa Anna.
FoREIGN.--It was reported that the Russian Am
bassador at the Court OF London had been ordered
to demand his passports.
The Governments of Austria and Prussia have
given of their neutrality in the war be-
tween Russia and Turkey.
Reinforcements were hurrylng to the Russian
army, and additional levics continued to arrive at
the Turkish camp. 1t was generally understood
that if the season would permit operations of magni

carry them out, general attack was expected to
be made Immediately on the Russians The Rus

tiers. The Emperor of Russia has issued ukase

BY the steamer Humboldt we learn that the very
ilteSt accounts from the Danube report that the
Russian troops marching on Kalafat, and the
Turks were sending reinforcemcnts to that place
Frequent skirmishes were occurring between the
outposts of the two The very latest accounts
from Vienna state that the Turks had attacked Ga
late and Braer but the result of the engagement
was not yet known.
A new note, designed to settle the troubles has
been prepared, but neither the Sultan nor the Gar
would listen to it.
The Sultan has officially announced his intention
to place himself at the head of his army in Russia
next spring.
Louis Napoleon has officially notified the Govern

French Minister, Drouyn DIiuys, ha: made an en-

will aid the Turks in maintaining their integrity
Louis Napoleon especially swarns Austria against
giving refuge to armed Russians. Such an act he
says, he will consider a declaration of war. The

GENERAL OUTLINE OF ITS CONTENTS.

WASuINGTnN Sundnu N;nl

WASHINGTON, Sunday Night.
The Message of President Pierce may be commu
nicated to Congress Tomorrow though probably not
before Tuesday 1t will not be as long as those
which have lately precededit. Its statement of our
existing relations with Foreign Powers will be mark
ed by that terscness and explicit brevity which
characterize all of the Presidents speeches and
writings.
, The Message will briefly recapitulate the facts
in the Koszta case, announce the principles laid
down by our Government in connection with it, and
proclaim that the President is determined to stand
10y them.
1t will lay before Congress the present status of
our relations with Mexico, and the favorable aspect
OF existing diplomatic negotiations with that nation
1t will give an official statement of the recent
difficulty at the Chincha Islands, and probably an
announcement of its satisfactory adjustment be-
tween our Government and that of Peru
Nothing seems to be known as to what will be
said about opening the Amazon but the President
will probably press the immense commercial adyan-
tages which will accrue to our country if Brazil
can by some MEANS be induced to throw that fruit
full and wonderful river open to the free compete
ton OF the commerce of the world.
The message will give a statement of the present
aspect of the Fishery Question, and show that no
treaty has been matured in regard to it, 1t will
call the particular attention of Congress to the i'm
portancc, at the present juncture of defining with
more accuracy, the boundary line between the Z.
States and the British Possessions on the North
1t will suggest the justice of the Spanish claims
for indemnity in the case of the schooner 4naiStad;
animadvert with severity upon the conduct Ct tho
Spanish authorities in Cuba towards American citi-
zens in that Island and will intimate to her Caho-
lie Majesty that such proceedings must be stopped
without delay.
A large increase of the Navy, and modification of
the Army, according to the suggestions of the Sec
rotary OF War, will be recommended.
An extension of the land system, with some modi-
hcations over the new territories Utah and New
Mexico; and in regard to the general system of the
Public Lands alterations ia favor of actual settlers
and extension of the presumption principle.
Important improvements in the Patent Laws. de-
signed to encourage and protect American inven.
tors, will be proposed.
A change in the present Judicial system of tho
United States will be recommended, ON the ground
that the present organization of courts is made
quate.
In regard to internal improvements the President
will not submit any estimates for appropriations
and will base his reasons for withholding them upon
