EASTERN El'IlOrE. Laic advices from the Mediterranean give coloring to the belief that the Sultan has resolved on a rupture with f i is oldest and firmest all, England, notoriously in obedience to the dictation or incited by theintrigues of Russia. The ostensible cause of the difference between the Sublime Porte and the British Envoy is so trivial that nothing but a precious and significant coldness nothing less than a conviction that the interests, or at any rale the forces of the two nations are about

to come in collision, could have magnified it into the occasion of a national quarrel. It appears that a British gentleman residing at Constantinople accidentally wounded a young Turk while amusing himself at shooting in die vicinity of the Mehomedan metropolis. For this misfortune, he. was immediately arrested and treated with every indignity by t he populace, acting under the eye and with the implied sanction of the civil authorities. The British Minister has thus far been bafiled in bis attempts to procure redress or even apology; and it was presumed at the latest dates that lie would have no alternative but to demand his passports. Such a movement could not fail to be the precursor of a contest more momentous in its character and probable consequences than any of which the shores of the Mediterranean have been the theatre since the opening of the Eighteenth Ccnturv. If a collision between England audi Turkey shall really grow out of this! allair, either now or hereafter, it can i no longer be doubted thai the influence ! of Russia in the Ottoman Councils has become exclusive and irresistible. A i war with England would never be hazarded by the Sultan, but with the assurance cf prompt and efficient support from the Muscovite legions who now overshadow his borders. Hitherto, the influence of England has been generally deemed paramount with the Porte; but the passage of the Balkan, the triumphant encampment of a Russian army at Adrianople, and the onerous pecuniary obligations imposed upon Turkey by the peace, have thrown her into the giant arms of the Northern Autocrat. The very terms of the treaty, and especially of the clause regarding the navigation of the Dardanelles and the Black Sea, virtually reduced her to the rank of a province or adjunct of the vast Muscovite empiie. jina inus, trie name ol warence lighted on the shores of the Bosphorus, its ravages must entend, not merely to iheNile and the mountains of Thrace, but ultimately to the Black Sea, the Danube, and more remotely to the banks of the Ganges itself. The barbarian hordes of the 'Northern Hive,' who have so long panted for the possession of Constantinople, now sigh for the richer fields and mere alluring spoil cf llindostan. Persia presents but a feeble barrier to their ambition and lust of conquest; and neither the distance nor the difficulties of the route can offer an insuperable impediment to the legions that, pouring from the region of the Caucasus and the shores of the Arctic Occcan, have often battled for the mastery of Europe on the Volga, the Vistula, and the Rhine, and twice planted their victorious standards on the walls of Paris, the capital of the most watlike nation of the age. We do not, indeed, anticipate an immediate collision between the Constitutional monarchies of Western and the despotisms of Eastern Europe on the plains of Roumelia. The vital consequences of such a struggle, once commenced, will not be rashly hazarded on either side. Rut recent demonstra tions from the Austrian Cabinet fully justify the belief that PrinceMetternich is in close alliance with the Autocrat, and equally interested in maintaining the Rusian ascendancy in the Councils of the Porte, and preserving in full force the extraordinary stipulation of lh last treaty that the Dardanelles shall at all times be inflexibly closed against the enemies of Russia. The immense advantages which will accrue to the latter from this provision, in any future conflict with France or England must be evident at a glance. Not on ly her commerce but her navy in the Black Sea would enjoy a perfect im munity from danger, while the latter could be :n readiness to sweep at any favorable moment the commerce of the Mediterranean to the straits of Cibrnltar, retiring to their covert before a fleet from England could approach them. It would be far belter for the Western powers to enter upon the contest with Turkey the open ally than the unassailable shield of their more formidable enemy. That a conflict must inevitably ensue between the liberal and despotic powers of Europe is scarcely doubted. That the plains of Turkey rather than those of Cerinany

will be its theatre, seems at this time more than probable. The materials for a commotion are in the East most abundant. The Pacha of Egypt still retains his equivocal position, haif subject, half conqueror of the Porte, and ready to embark in any enterprise, however unjustifiable, which promises to add to his dominions. The conquest and prolonged occupation of Algiers by France, with her open avowal that it will never be relinquished to Mussulman domination, can never be regarded with complacency by the Porte. The

battle of Navarino, and the partial emancipation of Greece, are yet freshly remembered, as national wrongs, to be redressed at the first opportunity. If, therefore, the Emperor Nicholas has resolved to seek subsistence and employment for his disciplined hordes, to gratify the hereditary passion of his race by extending his dominions in the East, and at the same lime to strike a blow at the resources and the influence of the Liberal States of Western Europe, we shall look for the first demonstrations of his purpose among the crumbling pillars and dilapidated arches of the once formidable Ottoman Empire. JVcw orkcr. FOREIGN PAUPERS. It appears by a statement in a late number of the New York Courier and Enquirer, that another vessel has arrived from England at New York, with a cargo of English paupers. We say another, since this thing has happened so frequently, that it has already ceased to be a novelty. These paupers are the very worst part of the British population, which, however excellent in its middle classes, its great mass yet contains a numerous body of scum, of social feculence, the vilest perhaps on the face cf the earth. Those acquainted with the social condition of England, well know that its pauperism is a corroding ulcer that has long been eating into its very vitals, and has nowspread beyond further endurance. The burden of maintaining this night-mare falls principally upon the agricultural interest; already taxed too heavily by a system of ecclesiastical tyranny. No other remedy has appeared practicable, excepting to clear the country of the incumbrance; and the paupers are very deliberately landed upon our shores at the expense of the British nation ! ! ! It seems difficult to find terms that can adequately describe this outrage upon all national amity: this gross violation of international law. A nation w ith whom w o re at peace, ships off to our shores its criminals and stuidy beggars, w hom she is bound by every principle of national justice, to keep at home and punish. She crowds upon us her aged and infirm, her lame, her halt and her blind, whom she is bound by every obligation of humanity, to pro vide for at home. The one are to fill our land with profligacy and crime, to depredate upon the labors of our own honest and industrious population, and to impose upon us the necessity of punish ing them, and keeping them out of mischief. The other are lo be a grievous charge upon our industry, lo eat cut our substance m idleness, to impose Op on us the grievous burden of maintaining them in our poor house?, while they are utterly unable to make ahy return for the favor. All this is done by a nation professing to be at peace with us, and boasting ot its justice and honesty in dealing with other nations. Accord ing to the laws of nations such proceed ings are a just cause of war, and Eng it i - i lanu lias kindled many a bloody war in Europe, upon pretences much less plausible. And what sort of additions are thus made to our population? Our Stale prisons and the records of our criminal courtscan answer the question. They are corrupt and profligate, de graded and debased, even beyond the conceptions of our American imagin ation. They are as devoid of moral principle of every kind, as the verybeasts of the field, who arc not the sub jects of moral government. They are as destitute of selt respect, ot just pride of that desire to rise in the world which is inherent in every American, as if they had neither eyes to sec, nor ears to hear, nor intelligence to comprehend a more elevated condition than their own. They are both corrupt and corrupting. Wherever they go, they diflti?e an immoral taint; tney scatter among our native popula tion the fell poison of their habits, 'i ii -i-n;s .mil example. But while the demoralizing-, des t roving process is iioincr on. while these outpouring from a land whose cup of wickedness is full, are pnreadimr moral devastation around us, debauch ing, tainting, ana destrovinc the rure habits engendered by our institutions, treslt recruits arc daily sent us n chip loads, as it the mischief did not advance with suliicient expedtion, and as those who sent Ihem here were impa

tient for our destruction. Are we just to ourselves in viewing with indifference this great, this growing mischief; It is

impossible for our institutions to endure longer under this corroding system. Their only security is the virtue and intelligence of the people. But it is vain to hope mat tne virtues which have hitherto sustained our political and social state, can long resist the influence of this moral pestilence. They will yield before it; and when they are gone, our liberties, our institutions, the price of so much blood, of so many sacrifices by a generation as pure, as patriotic, as disinterested as the world ever contained, will follow in their train. But this is not the only source of evil. Besides corrupting our native population, and thus rendering them less capable of maintaining our free institutions directly in another mode. Through the culpably short sighted policy of our naturalization laws, hordes of foreigh vagabonds, the sweepings from the prisons and polluted nurseries of profligacy in the old world, can ac quire all the rights of American citizenship, and assume the direction of American institutions, before they have been long enough among us to learn our lar.euacc. or if thev came from the British empire, before they have been long enough among us to wear out the rags in which they first pollut ed our shores. "Uan these things be. md not excite oiir special wonder?" Can our laws, our institutions, all we hend dear, and all that renders Us what we still are, long hear up against such destructive influences? It is in vain to expect it. Already have we abedy of foreign citizens, of foreigners enti tled to vcte at all our elections, and who are strong enough to hold the ballance of power between our contend ing parties, and thus create in each an interest in courtinsr them. I'hildd. Kntint!. IMPORTANT FR03I MEXICO. The New Orleans True American of the 23d ult. puts us in possession of the following very late and highly im portant intelligence from Mexico. 1 he American says: "By a passenger from Vera Cruz, we lean that a battle was fought, on the 13th July last, at Etla, (Mexico,) between the government troops, U00 men and three pieces of artitllcry, commanded' by General Canal!zao,and the federal troops, (revolutionists) GOO men, commanded by General Asavado. The action lastcl a half hour: the revolutionists were completely routed, and their destruction very great Gen. Asavado taken prisoner, with three other field cllicers, who were shot the next morning in the public square. The loss of the government troops was comparatively small. Our informant, who was chief of artillery in the federal troops, says that the interior of Mexico is in a very agitated stale, and that a great deal of difficulty will ensue to the Central Government, owing to the revolutionary movements." Extract from a letter dated Matamoras, July 29, 183G. The Cumanche Indians a few nights past came into Matamoras, and stole about TOO horses belonging to the Mexican cavalry, and committed other depredations. The Mexican troops between 3 and 4,000 have positively refused lo march into Texas until they have been paid what was due them, the officers in command endeavor to pacify them by saying thai the amdurta, is daily expected from the interior with i'00,000. Gen Filisola's defence was published in the Mexican papers and reflects great discredit on the Mexican soldiers. The Texian prisoners in this place are compelled daily (in chains) to sweep and cleanse the streets'. Since writing the forgoing I have just heard from good authority that some of the principal officers of the Mexican army have declared that they will not go into Texas until a sufficient quantity of provisions has been sent before them, and Ihey must he paid their arrearages, as they will no longer trust to the promises of the Mexican Government. From the New Orleans Courier, August 23. MEXICO. Advices from Mexico to the 30th July have been received, from which it appears, as we had prognosticated, that country was ripe for a revolution. Many persons, accused of belonging lo the federal party, and of endeavoring to excite the people against the "consolidated"' government, had been apprehended and shot. We congratulate all friends to the rights of man upon the pretty pickle the aristocrats of Mexico have got themselves in with their consolidated system; and hope the lesson will not be lost upon their confreres, our own wings, ardent admirers of

strong government, which wuold

centralise power and patronage in the hands of a few, thus subjecting the people to misrule not unlike that under which groaned the Romans, instead of remaining, as they arc now, under a confederation of free and independent Stales, somewhat similar to the classic and philosophic republics of ancient Greece, Now that Mexico should be united to a man, to preserve her, per haps, from the fate of the doomed Indian, distention and ar.archy reigns throughout the whole region. The present rule has been established by the bayonet, and to the military it is indebted for e cry day's existence. The weapons destined to contend with the Tcxians are arrested in their progress, and arc already dyed with Mexican blood. Internal discord amongst the 'natural' enemies of the Texians is consummating their independence. Contribution?, it is true, are making for the prosecution of the war. But w ill money imparl union to distracted councils, or be of any avail w hen no troops can be procured with it? Fortunb smiles on the warlike and crafty Anglo-Saxon race, who, no doubt, will take advantage of Mexican confusion, to push "ahead,1' ever restless until they have seized the valleys and the mines for which the Spaniards themselves shed rivcrsof blood. J uslice, though sometimes tardy, is sure to overtake the guilty. American advenluiers, therefore, may flatter themselves with the idea of being of retribution th e chosen instruments From the Nashville Republican, Sept. C. TEXAS. We have been permitted to examine a letter from one of the Volunteers to Texas, Captain W. 11. Chandler, formerly of this place, dated .it "Camp Coletto, August Mb," 1() nfilcs w est of Victoria, fiom which it appears tl at the Mexicans are not vigorously prosecuting the war at present. The Texian army consists of 1500 men in good health and spirits, under the command of T.J. Rusk. Gen. Houston had not arrived in camp, his leg preventing him from travelling, but was expected soon, and was looked for with great anxiety. "The camp talk is that we arc to proceed in a few days lo Matamoras, which lies beyond the Rio Grande and outside of the Texian territory. The object is lo burn the town, which consists of 15,000 inhabitants, and then retreat, diiving every thing before us whU-.li can possibly sustain the enemy in a march of three or four t i i! irnt i .i uunurcu nines, ana iau uaciv upon me Gaudaloupe or some other stream, and there wait the approach of the enemy who, if thev comeat all, will be vvhip- . t r '. -.- .i i.

St. Anna and suite, are at Columbia on the Brassos, strongly gilarded, and it is understood will short ly be ordered to the army." TEXAS. Attempt to Kidnap Santa Anrvi! ! The schooner Julius Caesar, just ar rived from Velasco, I exas, reports that tho American schooner 1 assaiac,Hugh es, hence and loaded with provisions, wines, fcc. and cleared for Texas, un derthe pretence of trading that their real purpose was to smuggle Santa An naon board, but before all their plans were matured they were discovered in the act of going for him. The Texian Government have seized the schooner and imprisoned all concerned The American Minister, Mr. Poinsett, had left Velasco for Galveston Is land. He sent despatches to his Government by the Julius Casar. The Julius Casar reports the Texian schooner Invincible, Capt. Bruce, hav ing met about 30 miles from the S. W. Bar, in chase of the schooner Venus; she was within half a mile of her, and she is no doubt a prize by this time. A Methodist C amn Meeting was re ccntly held in the military grove west of town. It commenced on ihursday the 2Mb, and closed on Tuesday the 30lh ult. The meeting was charac terized throughout, as well by the cor rect deportment and general good order of the vast numbers who daily assembled there, as by the zeal and devotion of the members of the church. On Sunday the 28th it was supposed iherc could not have been less than from six to seven thousand persons in attendance. The number that embraced religion during the continuance of the meeting we understand to be about 130; a considerable portion of whom are said to be young men belonging to Indianapolis.

RISING SUA: SATURDAY SEPTEMBER IT, If3ft.

(jjr We earnestly invite the attention of all who read the Times subscribers and borrow -crs, male and female, young and old to a most excellent article on the first page, headed "Importance cf JS'cuspapcrs." We can bear the most ample testimony to some of the statements made therein. The attention of the Merchants in this section of the State, who purchase their Goods at Cincinnati, is respectfully invited to the advertisementsof Messrs. Carlisle & White, and J. D. & C. Jones, which appear in the Times to-day. At either of those houses they can be accommodated w ith any article in tho Dry Goods line. JUDGE EGGEESTON. The Weekly Messenger of Saturday last, uj's: "Wc are informed that Judge Eugi.esto.n is so severely indisposed, that it is doubtful whether he will be able to be at our court.1' The Switzerland Court commences next Monday. Wc regret to hear of Judge F.gc;i.ksto:'s indisposition, as it may tie the means of preventing a court from being held at Wilininsrlen. JUDGE WHITE.

On Thursday last, the mail bag came hero from Lawrenceburgh without alnrL, there having been none put on at that place; or if put on, it was done in such a manner as to be lost off before it reach cd Aurora. The mail boy informed us that the bags were thrown out of the window to him, and said he disliked very much to carry the mail without a lock.

Last week we gave an article from the Ohio Slate Journal, headed "Inllux of Foreigners'' and this week we give an article of some length, from a Philadelphia pr'pcr, on the same subject. Wo discover that the Press generally, is beginning to notice this matter, and in out-opinion it is right that it should. It is not a new subject to us wchave for two or three years past thought much about it, yet wo considered it advisable to let older Editors take the leading in calling public aitention to IfofJ evil, and in suggesting the remedy. The policy of the Hritish government in shipping off its paupers to our shores, is most certainly a policy at variance with the best interests of our country, and it has now been borne with long enough. It is, however, a delicate subject, and indeed it would almost seem at first that we would be destroy ing one of the greatest principles of our institutions were we lo shut our doors to emigration of any kind ; yet when wc relied upon the character of the emigration complained of there can be no objection, in our judgment, to passim; a law restricting emigration, or adopting some other measure calculated to remedy such an evil. We would be the very last person who would be in favor of prohibiting emigration entirely there arc many come to this country from foreign parts, who make the best of citizens and we are willing that all who are able and willing to maintain themselves, and be good members of society, should come on but,' while our taxes arc ulready high; while we have swindlers, and blacklegs, and mobocrats and paupers enough already among us, we aro opposed to any more coming, to make those taxes higher, and to aid in arresting the supremacy of our laws. We hope that Editors will not fail to call public attention to this all-important subject, so that the public mind may be prepared to suggust a proper remedy. DON E UP IN STYLE! A SECOND RASP i I The Indiana Palladium, of IheHOth of April last, contained the following sentence, from the pen of the immaculate Milton Gregg, wo do suppose : Wecannothold fellowship with a man who manifests so little regard for veracity, and are therefore constrained to cut his our acquaintance altogeth er, llcncelorth wc shall not condes cend lo notice him. Milton Gregg cut our acquaintance then. he did he found we were not to be frightened at his bark or snarl, and so he would not con-
