A netr question 'has intervened in the politics of Europ?, arising from-tile pre sent situation of the Turkish Empire. The battle of Koniah, on. the 21st of De cember, places the. Sultan i ahd the Turk ish Empire at the mercy of MehemetAli, Pacha of Egypt, unless some one, or more, of the European pollers should interfere. The Emperor Nicholas,! it is strongly suspected, has set his, heart upon another "slice of Turkey," ! and 1 he knows his chance will be bettej; in the. present shat- 1 tered condition of the Empire, than! if it Chief, supported by the" power and re sources of Egypt. Reasoning fiom these premises, ratner pernaps tnan irom tacts, it was confidently "stated in some of the iuropean papers, ftnd repeated m others, that a Russian fleet was preparing to sail from Nicolaieff and Sebastopol, with 12,000 men and provisions, for Trebi soned, in order to co-operate with the OttO" man.

A gentleman by the name of Smith, one of the prppriei tors of the New Bedford Gazette, lately put a period to his existence, by blowing out his brains with a horseman's pistol At the time of his death; Mr Smith wa filling the responsible office of Secretary of one of the, New Bedford Insurance Of fices, and was. generally respected. coii.!frumciTiow$.

And so has it been. In the Columbia S. C.

' The combromise between Mr; Clay and) Mr. Cdlhoun is the most smsr ular thing of the I kind of which ,we e ver heard. Instead of each yielding a portion to ac commodate :the views of the other, they both gave. up all forjwhich they ever con tended. Mr. Calhoun agreed to accept the provisions which he had' pronou.iced unc Dnsjitutiqnal and even to increase the. dut es upon bnt species of tow priced icool lens from five to fifty per cent, for some yea rs; and Mr. Clay gave up the whole prir ciple bf protection j by discriminating duties, and agreed to an ultimate reduc tion! upon all articles', to an adralorem duty of 20 per cent." . Mr. Calhoun, instead of gaining a vic tory, assuredly gave up all for which he "ever contended.', Not so, Mr. Clay,like a skilful general, unexpectedly involved. in difficulties, wTho sacrifices a detachment to "slave his (army, this champion of the American System, by his own acknow- i t I somerof his' associates who thought he had proved recreant to their cause, gave up a patt to save the whole. With him it was a case of necessity, and not of choice -we do hini no injustice -it is his owij expla nation. "He saw clearly that tlW next Congress would prostrate the wliole fa bric of the American system." : Ir. defiance of these plain fads, the Clay and Calhoun editors ' are every j where claiming for their champions all the dis interestedness, all the : magnanimity, all the wisdom, all the patriotism, jthat exists, in the country. They have saved the Republic, in; spite of the tyrant who is at the head of the "fiercest and most corrupt administration that ever wielded the pow er of the general government!" j : Tiie people are not to be deluded in (his way they understand the matter well; they are satisfied, as are impartial specta tors on the other side of the Atlantic in Britain and in Frauee that the modera tion and firrriness of Andrew Jackson hiave caves this country frdm the miseries of civil war. !j - , Sir- Pltase : announce to the I public through the medium of your paper, that JOSEPH D.
