Mosquito Question.-Theffieulty between this country and Enghand, totthiug the above matter has arisen under the fol iog circumstances:-A cr.mpnny of citizen rto the United States, thronghi the agenceq Mr. Sqier. American Minister, near'the vern ment of the Republic of Nicaragua, - th America,) have obtained a charter,: un a Treaty negotiated with the Niearaguhb Repab lie, to construct a ship canal across thesttimus through the Teraitory of that Repube from the port of St John's on the Atlatilitgo some port on the Pac.fic. To this the Eih Gova crnaert objects, and protests: becin the ca nal will pass through the Territory o Mos quito Gocernrncnt, over which Grea n u ex. ercises a protectorate. The history of this Mosquito kingand' lrnm the accounts given is too farcical nit 1'charac ter, to support the present pretensions oflthe English Governmenft.. The people'at com pose this kingdom are said to'be a smalil tribe of Squalid Indians and Samboes,-wh beftre their alliance with England obtained their sub sistence chiefly by ttuale-fishing. Tlie lng is at little negro boy, reniarkable only as a'tei, and has a sister, who, in the official docuaphts and correspondence, calls Queen Victot1, " be loved Sister," and is said to he quite jrnominct ous in her intercourse with drunken sa'lrs. England, wishing to push her encroachments upon the disturbed States'of central America, has used these miserable wretches, who inhabs it along the Eastern coast of Ilonduras as her base tools-organizing them into some sort of government, with this negro savageasa pup pet king, and cutting and changin e boun daries of their kingdom to suit the asping propensities of her policy. With n better pretext, she asserts the right of this pseudo kingdom to the South outlet o SJu.an, ta king in the 11ae harbor and.town rSNJuan' -therefore claiming the Territory -iich is to embrace the mouath of the proposedcnal.

It is thaecontemaptibile resort of the bully and the braggadocio, too week and' two low to be emn played bctwcen two ;: reat nations. It was likewise a bpecimen of weak vantity for Mt.

Russia ud Tur'key.-A grave dif fi::nty is now pentding between the Czaar of Rtussia andt the Sultan, which may terminate in a general Europeant war, As our readers are well aware, the Hungarian Patriots, Bean, Kos sutha and others, after being defeated in their stnggla for independence totok refuge ini the Ottomian Empire, and placed themselves under te ptrotection of the Sultan. The Emperor of Russia anow demands their delivery to him which the Siultant refuses, alleging that thte laws of hospitality anid the dignity of hifiEmpire re qaire him to atTord them protecuidna. On this refusal, it is thonght, Russia 'will declare waer, anod that Englanad anti France will side with the Sultan, which will tharowv Austria with Ruassiat, atnd Ihns involve the whole contiaent in a state of warfare. Ini formting a jntdgment on this matter two probabilities arise for consideration: First, will Rissia go to n or on this pretexti Secoitdly, if she do, will Enigland and France unite with the Sultan ? As to the latter-wve have little douabt. -We do not believe that ci ther France or:England out of pure love for liberty, or through feelings of mere humaity, wotiuld renider assistance. We kanow they have twice refused to aid the Poles in their gallant struggles for indepenidence, but suffered that unhappy people to lose their nationality and become the victims of merciless despotisma. They have remained quiet also, and witnessed the insolent depradatioits of the autocrat in the Caucasus, thotugh they beheld a mere armful of men, fighting, as no othter men ever fought. in cently, they have again seen a brave and gal lant people, struggling nobly for liberty and na ti-nal iadependence, overpowered Ly the ruth less arm of the two most despotic powers on earth, without sending them the first dollar or the first soldier, or without even offering them the small pittance of national sympathy. After these strong examples of indffeitnce to the cause of liberty, it were not fair to conclude, that England and France will engage in the struggle between Russia and Turkey from mu lives of humanity. But we honestly believe they will take part, if the struggle eyer ensue; for they will have the strong propelling canse of interest to drive them intq it. They can with out emotion see, Russia overwhelm Poland, the Caucasus, and Hungary, and the brave people of those countries driven into abject servitude, 'ut they cannot brook the idea of the increase of Russian power in the Mediterranean. No! this would shake the equanimity of their im, perturbable spirits and wake to action all their powerful energies of war. If Russia succeed in empowering herself of Turkey, she will then become a strong maritime power. She will control the commerce of the Mediterranean. She will block up the Levant from England and France, and thus reap for herself the rich fruits of the Eastern trade. This is eniugh to stir up time senses of John Bull, and make him bellow forth the "cruel din of war." Africa too wi!l be in danger, and thus L.a helle France takes the aiarn, lest she may lost her Alrican provinces. We believe it is already a settled point in the Englisl; and French Cabinets to light the torch es of war, whenever Russia makes known her determination to advance upon the Sultan. But the main question is, will Russia ad vance ? We can scarcely think so. As eager ly as she desires to complete a project of ambi tion, which has been ardently indulged for years, she will scarcely attempt it on a pretext, which would subject her to bitter censure from the civilized world. She has already advanced in the affair of Hungary beyond the principles of international law, and the dictates of moral sense. To pursue much farther her spirit of persecution, wouli te revolting to all the pre cepts of humanity and of religion. 'ro hunt down the Poor victims of her amnbition, after she baa driven them from the field of opposition, and placed them beyond the power of doing her any harm whatever, would be relentless re venge; which would not fail to shock the moral feelings of the world. It is scarcely to be sup posed that the Czar, will be so obdurate in his selfish policy, as to invoke the moral opposition of the civilized world, and the strong physical resistance of almost every power in Europe. Such a career of maddened ambition would surpass even the wild recklessness of Charles Xi[. We take Nicholas to be a man of too much prudence and sagacity to embark in an enterprise so erratic and fatal. FOR THE ADvERTISER. Ma. Eritroa:-The reply to the inter rogatories of " An old Planter," calls for a few more remarks from the old gentleman. soentoimnply oiiu t. woul(Ite Tamr fritn wishing him to suppose that I would irpute to him, an intentional nistatemeat. Bui, to err, is hutmant. The best of mn are not exempt from this common frailby. and may lie mistaken, and1 very hotnesuly mistaketn. To doubt, is also. humian, aend unider som'e circumstances, the-most natu ral thing in the wrld. The gmnwth of S0 bushels of corn on one acre, is so uttusual in this part of the wtorld, that we involuntarily wonder and ask ourselves,- " can this be so ?" hence those interrogatories. I am sorry. T can not say that lie has answered thetm Yully to mny satisfaction.-As to his mode of culture, the price of his land per acre, its reputation for fertility. &c., there is all the particularity I could desire. if the same particularity had been observed upon oilier, and whait I conceive, to be equally im portant points, much of this communica tion would have beetn superserded. In die first place, he meastured his land by step ping it and allowin2 70 steps sqnare to be aun acre. Ntiw I admit that he conld make a pretty fair cuoss as to the quantity of land conitainetd in a srquare piece oif groanid, by ste pying it. Bant 70 yards square, is more thtan aun acre, antI a man in stepping off ground is apt to exceetd 3 feet at a step; anal. tmore especially, when he is sieppitng off an acre of corn to lie measured, is ho apt to give good mneasture. There is nothinag like bringing the thing down to ihe chainu and compass. There is to much uncer ininty in mneasuring groaund biy steppinig i'. T'here is so much dilTerence in the leth of legs in different specimens of humanity, that it would lio impossible to redluce this method of measuring, to atty thing like mathematical accuracy, or upon it, to base anmy scientific rtule of mnensuration. Again: lie says, that he gtiaged his crib, and measured his wagon hbody. WVell, this I exptectedi. But, bmy what rule didl he guaugo the one and measure the other ? Here, again, is uncertaity. I do tnt pre tenid to say, that he did not do both Ar rectly, btut he has not detailed his method of guaging sand meaisuring. There is as much difference itn the result ofithe various rules by which this is done, as there is itn the length of lees of the biped race. WVhau are the dimensionis of Isis crihi?

Suppose his crib to be 14 feet wide, 18 feet long anid 11 feet deep, what, according to his rule of guaging, would be itu cotetos ? lie says, thai from 8 acres lie will endeau or, to make 640 hiushels of corn, anda tritum phlantly asks, if I think him too sanguine.

If hae expects to make 640 bushels, I should like an know if he is willing to hind himself totaike $1.00 per bushel for it if he succeed, anid if he fall short of that quamntity, to take 25 cents per bushel for the product. ] scarcely think, that les faith is strong enough to enter into so rash on engage ment.

No fact connected with our jking, is perhaps, more curious and important, than the influence of mind over mind. Thought and will, practically combined, work with powerfol and mysterious agen. cy over the whole animal kingdom. 'T'hey bring into subjection the stoutest hearts and the most savage natures. One sting intellect, gifted with the p'wer of oratory, is capable of rousing into action all the lalent passions of the soul, and of leading thousands captive at its will. The idea is admirable : it is sublime ! Is it not ino dicative of bold design in Providence? For what conld so transcendent a power be conferred? Is it for naught ? Could it he for evil? The whole scope of crea tion rebuts such presumptions. The hand of Deity never creates except for good: his Will never acts without design. For some God like purpose was so wondrous a power bestowed. And what could that purpose he, except to lead men from 'the error of their ways? from the strontg holls of passion and prejudice to the ways of soberness and truth ? from vice to virtue? from crime aid oppression to order and instice ? Those then etdued with this power of coutrul, are in a high degree responsible. A strong mortl obligation ress upon their shoulders. )low guarded, should be their effurts in the exercise of this great power? 'I hey become to sote degree responsible for the acts and opin ions of others ; and consequently, to that degree they add to their own share of per sonal responsibility. In proportion as the power is given them to control, in the sante degree is their responsibility en hanced. What a fearfl risk of moral penalty, therefore, do they run, who pervert the powers with which they have been endued, in leading men from virtue to vice ? front the paths of soberness arid truth In the ways of licentiousness and crime? And yet this is the case of Demagogues! Demnagogucism, as commonly understood is a factious misleading of the people: and a Demagogue is the factious nisleader. Demagogue is a termgtenerie in its use, and includes a variety of species. We will not attempt to delineate each species or class with particularity. But there is one class of which we will speak by way of e minence. The characteristics are mark ed and striking. When embodied, they produce the true political mock-heroic: the genuine type of political Quixotism! This class is known by a ruling propensity fur boisterous declamation, and for a fixed determination to accomplish the most selfish ends by any and all means, at any and all hazards. 'rite true representative of this class has no regard for moral virite or genuine patriotism, though- his mouth is always tilled with these magic terms. His country's ruin may starehim in the face still he is bent on accoinplishing his selfish ends. Prosperity may smile upon all around him, yet he is noisy, grumitbling, and meddlesome. His daily business is-o declaim bitterly aginst the so-called rilers of his country, and to profess deep indig. nadonzat.sontiriar ijfrin ement of the people's rights. He perptua y see s occasions for oratorical display, in which he pnnegyrizes the virtue, intelligence, and patriotism of the people ; speaks to thetm iniglowing terms of their absolute sovreign iy :and tells them, that he desires for a guide to his cotiuct. no other rule than their declared will. Hie protests, that his ell'orts are all honestly put forth in his country's catuse; that lhe knows no other duty, and feels no othber interest ; and that lie wishes noi other rewvard except his country's apphroval of his coniduct. Hei is always full of Ilattering words, and high sounding phrases. Liberty. equality, the people's rights,-his on disinterested pa triotism, are the never dying themes-and the "snarnng Eagle " of lisa country, the ever hackneyed metaphor. of all his politi cal rhapsodies. On these he dilates and expountds-argues, and defies--rants atnd foams ! When you shall have heard him time after ime. you will be forced tn ex claim, as it was bitterly said of the boisie rous Jelfies, SOrt with success this mnigthty blast did bawl. WVhere loudest hintgs anid biggtest words win all.' The F'renchl hnve a saying. "beaucotup die bruit, peu de fruit,"~ much noise, lit tle prolit, or as we say in Eniglish. " grea cry, and little wool." This |adage applies with peculiar force to the windy Demn gognle. Fle is nll Iroith and no substance! The above isp delineation of the higher or gentry order of the gifted tribe-the aristocratic . Demagogue. Thirck it uot strange that the Ariscrat antI Dema gogue are ofteti united ini one individual. Tihe union, though somewvhat anomnious, can he naturally accounttedl for. There is one point in which the extremes oh ihese chaoracters meet, viz : in their haired and contempt of the people. Nowv we like aristocracy as oppose.l to leveling dema gogueism ; but it must lie an aristocracy ol gentlemanly princitple ! of virtue ! of pa. triotisin! W e cordially despise the purse. proud fool who clatimus superiority of merit from his ill-hoardedi pelf-or the haughty aristocrat, who to reach his selfish etnds, can let himself down fromn his feigned su periority to the demtagoguical tricks oI fraud and chea tory ! There are ot her classes of t he demagogue, wvhose characters are strongly mnaraed. There, for inistanice, is the sly, cunning, trickmj deceivecr of the people, who wenils his way through the crowdl, and whisper~s his siniister tale, like the wily serpent in the garden of Edlen, into the ears of his fellow-citizens. With his secret calum nies arid plerverted statiements he poisotns t he pure sireatm of pu blic opinion, and lead-i the p~ublic mind almost utnconsciouisly to his favorite o'ijects. lIe prnectises, ini full fitih, the Oviian maxim, " iene vixil, bene qti auit ; he hath lived w~ell. who hath concealed well ; and often establishes a character for virtue andi initegrity. Btt it is nell known to metn a::quainted wvith the world, thtnt "successful villany is often calledl virtue." Then comes that other refined class the bowing, caressing, sweet- toned flatterer of the people, " With a smile for every body atnd a heart for no one.i" There is no measure to his politeness and complacency. lie is all cotidescension anid compliance. WVith his imposing air, andi withb his sil very tnes ,.f a,.t.... he gains the applause and admiration of his fellows, which he soon turns to his own personal advantage. his acted part-his assumed condescension and pliability, are only designed for selfish purposes. ie cares little for the real interest of his fel lo-v-citizens, or the welfare and glory:of his country. There are other classes. whose distin gnishing characteristics it might be instruc tive to trace, did our limits permit : they descend, indeed, in regular gradation, in every variety flot the flippant and high.. roun(ling stutp orator, down to the bij-t 2 kcr of a neighborhood ;-hut there is one infallible test by which they .may all;ble jidlged : They all seek to lead the people by pretending that the people lead them, with the sole olject of promoting their ote: selfish views, and with a gross indifference to the welfwe of the country !

Ion. 72.'the natives of the cnast came on hoard the Chieftain, an English w haleman.and gave information by sins 'that two large ships - were then lying in . Prince Regent's inlet; . and had been there fast in the ice for fou'. seasons; and being asked with regard ito those on hoard, whether they were de d or alive, they replied in the sarne wiy that the crews were not "asleep" (that ite not dead) but were all well. This informa tion was ,onsi'tered by the Englisbman.and by Capt. Chapel. as indicating that the ships of Sir John Franklin were clearly meant. The Englishman landed at Cape Hay.' some distance from Pond's Bay, a quan tity of coal and provisions, with which uis ship was furnished by the British goveirn mett for the use of the long tnissing ships; if they shuld chance to come there, as they would be obligedaso doon their return to England. This is certainlj'ihilatest news from that quarter, and -there isa. possibility, perhaps a probability, tbatthe commander of the unfortunate expedition and his crews are still alive.
