SIB I will be on my way rejoicing before these line* will reach you 1 do this lo allay further apprehension about the whereabouts of a certain man thai has caused innip inquiry for a few days past, by the name of Sehurn. I can tell you that he is done for. We had our eyes upon him for sometime we watched hint several limes intending to follow him but he always had some way of slipping our net. At last we set a man to take care of him like a pet. and ha did watch him too. He did watch him go and take a large roirof money into a store on the northwost corner of the square, and then went out without it he still kept his eye upon hint and heard him say that he was guing out into Illinois early on the next morning, to sent! in some hogs. Me told us of it and we laid our plans, and plftced ourselves where we could catch our bird. Af'inr midnight we were on the ground this side of the bridge knowing that he always went 0111 thai rond. Sure enough we saw him coming, and if it was not private^ property I would tell you how we trapt him. t(ui you know enough, we gol a well feathered bird but not as well as we expected from the size of ihe bulk. Wo found the notes lo he small amounting lo only nine thousand, nine hundred and eighiy-two dolors, not more than half we lookud for, but|it paid right well for our first visit to your place. Tlie'spring Iroshets may possibly give a confirmation of this letter lo you. 1 have remained here lo aee how things would go oir and cover the other boys in their retreat. I'lte horse has already been sold and all is quiet. This will be dropt in the offica when am gone. They have sent three men to pentientiury that are not guihy.

At Madrid tbe winter is very sever*. Tbe Baltic is packed with Boating lee. It is reported tltiat the seeoad doel between Seule and Lord Howden has been deferred ia conscience of a death ia tit* family of tbe latter.
Nxw Toax, Jaa. 94.
Tbe French and English fleets were ordered to enter tbe Black Sea. Paris papers report that the Czar bad given orders for the immediate preparation to be made for crossing the Danube, which forbids tbe bope of bis accepting the last note of the VVestern powers.
Latest advices from Constantinople express lit' tie hope that pending negotiations will lead to any satifactory Moult.
The Turkish Council has declared itself perma newt: tbe eabiaent were harmonious, and on a recent occasion, when a disturbance seemed awaiting its action, the Saltan declared to the French Ambassador thst he would rather abdicate than accept assistance against the Saltan's subjects.
The Russians still occupied the frontiers of Austrian Wallochia from Oreova to Constradt they were also permitted to make purchases within Austrian territories.
Count Eaterhasy hud not yet gone to St. Petersurgh, in consequence of the home political mlander* tandiug. Constantinople quiet.
Auth'entic intelligence confirms previous reports hat the Porte had accepted the note frop the four "owera, saying thet he would not object nnder oer|n conditions to an armistice, but insists upon fin evacuation of the principalities, and the maintenance of Turkish sovreignties,consents to holding a congress In a neutral city, to the revision of existing trestles, and to consider tbe propriety of further ameliorating the condition of his christian subject*.
Deliberations in the Divan continued three days snd when the result transpired a tumult arose in Constantinople by a mob of three thousand, led by Ulemas, who assembled to present a remonstrance, declaring a Scheriale constitution violated by tbe council. For a time a riot was spprehended, but force of mariues from the English and French ateamers was called to Constantinople and a proclamation was issued by the Sultan on the 22d, which restored quiet. Several of the mob were arrested and banished.
Definite information relative to the action of the Czar daily expected. LO.IDON.—Intelligence from St. Petersburg!! to the SOth states that the Emperor has formally rejected the Vienna protocol and note of the 5th, but consents to examine the Turkish proposition of the 20th, although he refuses to recognise the right of European intervention in Russian and Turkish affairs.
The allied fleets had not entered the Black Sea on the 25th, in consequence of tempestuous weather. Instructions to the commanders of the fleets tire to the efT ct that in the event of their meeting with the Russian ships of war, they will in the name of their respective governments, request the Russian commander to return to Sebastopol, where he will find further Instructions from the Russian government. Ou their refusa' to return force will be used.
The Algeria, Greece, and Greek insurrection throughout Turkey, all being ready organised by the Ageuts of the Czar, has resulted in no operations of magnitude. Small skirmishes are believed to have taken place at the outposts. The Daily Russian Despatch says that the Turkish ariuy lu Axla is totally disorganized and that the troops tinve killed Selig Pasha and General Guyon—not ^credited. Turkish accounts acknowledge the ^evacuation of the Russian territory in Asia without loss.
LATIST FROM PKMIA.—Accounts from Persia are lore satisfactory, but they are irreconcilable with 14he statement that the Russian General GermilofT |sommands the Persian army. Constantinople despatches say that the British Charge d'AfTaires
In Persia baa succeeded In terminating the difference between Britain and Persia. The Turkinh Charge is satisfied with the explanation that Persia Nid not intercept relations with the Shall.
The London Observer says, that agents are on their way to the United Stales to purchase ships and ammunition for Russia.
In England, much indignation exists against Prince Albert, particularly the independent papers, and the public voice pronounces him a tool to Russia, and Aberdeen under his influence. The Prince, it is stated, betrays all Cabinet secrets. liussian, Austrian, aud German matters are expected to come before Parliament.
FOREIGN NEWS CONTINUED. France.—At the customary New Years levee, ihe Emperor Napoleon addressed the ambassadors, hoping they would be able to retain ihe relations existing between France and their government, and assured the Ottoman ambassador, of his good wishes, sympaihy, and efforts for Turkey.
The Times correspondent reports 70.000 Frenchmen ready for the Turkish camp when required.
The war Department states that the num ber of men available for the army, in ihe erent of a general war, is a quarter of a million for land service.
The current rumor in the politics] world is that the Czar continues lo tempt Napol eon to desert English alliance, and offers to consent lo the French anexittion of Bel gium and Egypt, the Csar offering to abandon the Bourbon cause.
Belgium.—The King has decreed a totall suspension of import duties on coal un til further notice.

The Ottoman army eta the Danube presents a total of 160.100 men 120,000 foot including the Egyptian contingent of IJk000 12 regiments of regular cavalry 40 batteries of artillery well mounted and manned 10.000 xalties or horse police 12.000 Albanians. This army is divided into foor principal divisions which at the time of crossing the Danube were stationed as follows Omer Pacha at Shumla with 50.009 sod in addition, two batteries of picked sharpshooters, witb ininie rifles.
Alim Pacha at. Dabritcbia with 25.000 men. iMarsopha Pacha between Siston & Rustcliuck. with 30,000 men.
Ishmail Pacha along the Danube from Sistcn to Widdiu with 35.000 men. Since the crossing and re-crosning of the Danube, these troops have tnoved in different directions, and a large army of reserve is forming al Sofia, in Bulgaria under Rifaat Pacha.
At Varna Provecdin Tirnova and in the different forts in the Balkan Rango, there are 35,!'0 men.
The Russian army, commanded by Prince Gortschakoff consisted at the same date of the fourth army division, under Gen. Dannenburg. (now operating at Olietiitzt) a portion of tne fifth division under Gen. Luders sixteen regiments of Cossacks of Dan ith seven field batteries under Count Orlow two pontoon services and a pnrk of heavy atlillery. The portion ol the fifth division attached to the fourth, consists of one regiment of iufaiitry. a squadron of cavalry, four batteries of foot artillery, four batteries of horse artillery, and a bsttnllion of chasseures—amounting altogether lo 70.000 men.
Since then. Generals OsienSichrnn's corps and the remainder of the fifth division have been advancing hv force marches. As regards number*, lite bclligerauis are preily fairly matched.

\Ttie Women or Erie.
The following ia the lalest newspaper news from Erie. We clip it from the Cleveland Herald of ihe 21st insl. A pari of it at least will "command attention."
Yesterday—we suppose for the "fun of the ihing"—the rail-rippers burt.ed in efligv John H. Walker. This was done in the yard of lite Reed House. Also atioih er interesting feature in the history ol ihis town on yesterday, was the stealing of the silver from IJrown's Hotel. It will be noticed that Mr. Brown has protected at sundry limes and in divers places, his guesis from the violence of the robbers, who now have possession 01' the town, and in part pay for such interference with the rights of ihe mob, we suppose they have pocketed his silver.

The Great Republic.
The damage by the burning of thia noble vessel, is considerably less than was at first supposed. She was got a flow on Tuesday morning This was accomplished by building a temporary stern—that part of the vessel having been burnt away—and inclosing tbe whole after part of the hull, whicb was deepest in the water, in canvas, to stop the leaks. Five steam-pomps were then put aboard, and the twelve feet of water in ber, exhausted at tbe rate of one foot per hour. Only about one-third of the cargo was touched by fire, leaving at least three thousand tons damaged by water in tbe i»o lower holds. The decks occupy about twenty-four feet from th* keel npwards, and that part of the vessel which includes all below copper, is in a sound condition—ao that ber lane commander.

Streagth of the AdmiaistraUoa ia Congress* The following paragraph is an extract from the Washington correspondence of the New Yerk TTaie*, of January 16th: "It seems to be generally conceded now that the nomination of Mr. Redfield will be confirmed, and that the Democratic opposition to the Administration in Congress has completely "caved in." The failure of the Seuate bill, which required the President to seed to that bod^ for confirmation his nomination of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. is the most signal indication of the strength of tbe Administration in Congress, and the utter weakness of the opposition in its own party ranks. The bill referred to was undoubtedly right, in itself—scarcely anybody questions that. If an Assistant Postmaster General, or ihe Solicitor of the Treasury must undergo the ordeal of confirmation. surely iris right that the Assistant Secretary should also. A fortnight ago there was scarce a doubt that this bill would pass upon its merits but individuals who were opposed to it succeeded in identifying the measure with the llatd-Sheil demonstrations. and thus insured its defeat, notwithstanding it would, under any other circumstances, have received an almost unanimous vote."
