AUSTRIA AND FRANCE.-The London cor
respondent of the n. Y. Herald says that
the rumors to the effect that private treaty
il on the tapis between France and Austria
in which France guarantees to Austria her
italian possessions are not entirely without
foundation. According to the terms OF this
treaty, If Austria declares war against Kus
sia, and Russia endeavors to get up rising
in Lombardy, France will lend Austria troops
to quell it. No one can doubt that Napoleon
would sign such treaty in moment to Sc
cure the aid Of Austria. A despot himself
he has no sympathies with the people,
French bsyonsts put down instruction in
Paris, and are keeping it down at this mo
ueut in Rome and Greece. 1twould be in
perfect consistency then with Louis Nopo
Icons whole course and policy that he should
assist the despot of Austria to crush the spirit
of liberty in his Itali an possessions.
But what commentary on the absurd no

OMAR PAcHA.-A letter published in the
London papers, dated Constantinople, Dec.
IS, but not authenticated, says that Omar
Pacha, on being ordered to the Crimea, to the
utter establishment of all, refused to conform
TO the instructions of his government, found
ing his objections on positive information
from the camp respecting the critical position
ofthe allied armies, and his reluctance to take
part in an enterprise likely to result in abso
Lutte failure, and finally demanded permission
to return to the capital and confer with the
Grand Vizier on this important subject On
the receipt of this astounding intelligence
says the letter the Grand Council assembled
at once, and in pursuance of resolution
unanimously adopted, orders have been trans
mitted, requiring the Turkish Generalissimo
to proceed forthwith to Sebastopol at the head
of his contingent, and there to expose to the
commander in chief Of the allied armies, his
motives and opinions-the Porte being no
longer in position to modify resolution
which had been adopted in common with
them.

several of the counties, and is headed
"UNIoN OF CALIFoRNIANs FOR THE SAKE
OF CALIFoRNlA." The demand for land
for culture, especially small farms, contin-
ues to increase. The day is approaching,
both by the force of public sentiment and
that OF circumstances, when the immense
tracts of the best farming lands in the State,
now monopolised under old Mexican titles,
must be broken up into small parcels for
the benefit of the industrious settlers, and
to the general advancement of the county
In many parts of the State, the owners Of
these immenss tracts of five. fifteen and
twenty square leagues cannot possible af-

interior counties are assessed at the rate of

s Our latest news from China: up to 10th
May are very distressing. The whole
country is suffering from a severe famine.
The China papers say that in some parts Of
the country the distress is SO great, that the
people resort TO roots, leaves, chaff and
other refuse to allay hunger. What makes
the prospect worse is that there is no seed
left in many localities and large tracts of
rich lowlands are lying untitled. There is
no news of any interest of the Revolution.

CONGREGATIONAL Nomination,

The Pro-Slavery Territorial Convention
which assembled at Shawnee Mission, on
Wednesday last, declared Gen. ]. w.
Whitfield the Pro-Slavery candidate for
Delegate to Congress by acclamation-Col.
A. ]. Isacks, the opposing candidate. hay-
ing withdrawn his name as the only way
of securing harmony and good feeling IN
the convention. Col Isacks had great
strength and many warm and uncompro-
missing supporters in the convention, but
was too noble to sacrifice the interests of
his party for his own personal aggrandlze-
ment. Too much credit cannot be award
ed to Col Isacks for the open, generous
and dignifed manner in which he has acted.
Of the convention We will speak in our
next paper. We would take occasion,
however, to say before going to press that
we deem it the bounden duty of every pro-
slavery manin this Territory to support the
nominee of the convention.
