A OrOIl Account.

The Turkish papers are dabbllng in Amer
scan politics. Listen to one Of them on the
Kansas question. The language is transla-
ted by the Constantinope correspondent Of
the n. y. Tribune:
In the northern part Of America there is
a province called Kansas, which having a
very warm climate its inhabitants are much
given to agriculture. They have, therefore,
imported large number Of slaves from AZ
RIGA, and employed them on their lands.
The people who live north Of this province
regard slavery as inconsistent with humani-
ty, and having so apprised the Inhabitants Of
Kansas, urged them to desst from this i'm
proper practice. Having repeatedly done
this, and not having been listened to, the
two parties assembled, and after asceraining
the number of each, deputised representatives
to the seat of the American Government,
called Washington, to have the matter tried.
Now as there has been for some time past
great GOODNESS between the members Of
the American Council of MOBILES and the
people of America, they could not fall upon
anv agreement on the subject of the peoples
auarreIs in Kansas. The difficulty increas-
ing daily in strength, it was foreseen that
trouble would arise out Of it. The enmty
existing between the two councils resulting
in each endeavoring to prevent the labors
of the others, and consequently nothing was
done by either. Moreover, as the army Of
the American Republic is wholly dsorgan-
lied. and consists only Of Bashi Bazouk
soldiers, the council of the people desired
to have them properly trained and placed
under some kind of order, with regulations
and pay assigned them. The Chief of the
Republic likewise was in favor of this ar
rancement, but the Council of Mobiles con-
tinued to oppose that of the people, and a
great quarrel arose between them on the
subject This state of things, therefore, being
productive of the ruin of the foundations Of
the Republic, and the destruction of the
Government, the chief of it decided upon
settling this affair Of the army in some
manner or other, and for this purpose last
August, called up both the Councils and
gave them two weeks, in which time to set
tie differences.
Now, it happens that by the laws of
said Republic, if the peoples Council do not
also consent to it, the Chief Of the Govern
ment, even together with the Council of the
Mobiles cannot take one aktcha out Of the
Treasury; as the former would not consent
to give him any money for their support, he
has had to dismiss all the soldiers and sell
the vessels of war to other governments
OF a truth it is clearly seen that this dscord
between the two Councils will very soon
cause the ruin of that Republic, and proves
the value of the peace and happiness which
we will enjoy under the benevolent protec-
ton of the shadow of our blessed Sultan.
END OF THE WORLD AT HAND.-Paris is
very much excited by an astronomical con-
troversy at which all do not laugh. The two
most eminent astronomers, one OF France,
and the other of Germany, are arguing
whether the world is to come to an end on
the 3Oth of June next. All the scientific
world, it appears, have long been uneasy
at the approach of comet to our earth; aud
though it is conceded by the disbelievers
that the contact must take place in June
next, the French astronomers argue that,
AS comets are but atmospheric affairs it will
not materially affect us. The German, on
the contrary, says it will not merely be the
passing of "a gentleman who smokes" but
that its centre is solid fire, and that the sur
face of the earth will be turned into sea OF
fiery lava, by his formidable cigar.
