The steamship "Star of the West " arrived
at New York on Sunday night, with 100000

February.
The Joint Convention of the Legislature had
not been able to elect United States Senator.
Up to the evening of February 9Th, there had
been forty-four ballots. The forty-fourth ballot
resulted as follows: Gwin, So; Edwards, "a ;
Roman, l8; Broderick, IL; McCorkle, 81;
scattering, 7. Number of votes cast, l08. After
several motions and resolutions were voted
down, the Convention adjourned to meet the
next day.
The news from the mines is, that the supply
of water still continued scarce.
Speaking of the Indian disturbance in the
North, the Yreka Herald says 1.-THE Indians
on the klamath river, from Happy Camp to the
ocean, distance of about one hundred and
fifty miles, including those in Trinity valley,
on the Bald Hills and Red Wood creek, num-
bering in all about one thousand warriors, have
taken the war path against the whites and
unless aid is Immediately extended, the Klamath
river and Trinity valley must be entirely aban-
doned by the whites. 1t is thought that the In.
dams have been preparing for this outbreak
for the past two years. The commander Of
Fort Jones has so few men at the post, that he
is unable to render any assistance in this
emergency"

Russia must necessarily prevent its accept
| ance.
| l cannot here forbear noticing the remark
| able changes which since l774 have taken
place in the respective views of the Govern
| ments of Prussia and Austria in relation to
Turkey and Russia. During that year, the
] Emperor Joseph III expressed, in the presence
| of Frenchman, Count Segur,l his JOY at the
| success which the troops of Cathsrina Ill had
| met with in the Crimea, while the Great Fred
erick of Prussia was taking measures for pre-
venting Russia from obtaining the possession
of this peninsula, which, however, took place
about nine years later.
The Emperor Joseph III of Austria had evil
IDENTIFY much more apprehension of Turkey
than of Russia, the latter country seeming then
not very likely to become dangerous to the
House of Hapsburg, which had so often trem-
bled before the Ottoman Power. Frederick
the Great, on the other hand, viewed the Sui
tan of Turkey as the natural ally of Prussia,
against both Russia and Austria, and was
hence very averse to seeing the Turkish terri
tory or power diminished. But at present the
King of Prussia is all anxious to prevent any
diminution of the Russian Empire, while the
Emperor of Austria would feel reioiced in the
event that the Crimea should be wrested from
the Car. This is new and striking evidence
of the great mutability of human affairs, and
of the short-sightedness of political wisdom.
On the 9Th instant, the Diet of the German
Confederation adopted the suggestion of Bava-
ria, mentioned in my letter of the 9TH inst. and
consequently resolved that the army of the Con-
federation is to be put in such condition as to
be able to take the field after previous notice
of only fortnight. Thus the necessity of
Germany arming herself was admitted by the
Diet. still without stating from whence the
danger was supposed to arise, or that it was
meant as a measure in behalf of Austria. But
both Prussia and Austria supported this reso-
luton, each hoping to be able eventually to
turn it to It's own benefit, should no mutual un-
derstanding meanwhile take place between
them.
The ministerial change in England and the
resolution of the German Confederation of
arming its troops, seem to prognosticate that
Europe will soon be subject to all the calami-
ties and horrors of a general war. Few per-
sons seem to expect peace from the negotia-
| tons going on, or rather, to be opened at vi
emma. Among the bellgerent Powers, none,
excepting Turkey, wishes for peace at the pres
ent moment. Austria would certainly be glad
to prevent the prolongation Of war; in order to
| avoid participating in its dangers; but she
can neither command the events, nor retrace
her steps, without losing all prospect Of obtain
ing the advantages she is striving at She must
now follow as the Western Powers lead and
these, under the auspices of Napoleon III and
Lord Pamerston, will certainly not desist,
without obtaining the object for which the
Crimea expedition was undertaken, and which
has already cost so much blood. DIOGENEs.
