' Negroes are hiring in Kansas for one ; hundred and fifty to three hundred dollars per year. The average yield to the labor of one able-bodied hand is from five to fifteen hundred dollars. The yield of hemp to the i acre is from three to four and a half tons, ' or from eight to one hundred and thirty dol: lars. Corn yields an average of forty to ! one hundred bushels per acre. Wheat tliir tr to fifty. If these statements be true, (ami wc liave authority of the best character for tUeii vouchers,) who can doubt that Kansas Territory will be a slave State? The laws of nature, which dictate that where African slavery will pay, there African slavery shall exist, guarantee this result. ''Let each Atlantic State," says our correspondent, "south of the Patoinac, send fifty bona fide slave ! owners, and I will guarantee that in four I years Kansas is admitted into this Union as ' * j a slave State, and that .each emigrant will j have doubled his estate." If the Southern | people icant to extend slavery let them carry I it where openings exist ; not quarrel with | Congress because it does nof, open the dpor ! and then shove it over the Bill.

Ji' i'ilifcfi European Newsi> Halifax, Deo 23.?Tie royal moil steamer America arrived at Halifax to-day. She left Liverpool on the 9th instant, and thereforo brings 10 days later from all parts of Europe. The America was retarded on her passage in consecjuence of a succession ot heavy gales irom tho west. The political advices by this arrival, ex ' cept so far as tlicy relate to Austria aro unimportant. There is but little news of interest from i the seat of war, hut negotiations aro bccom! ing most complicated and critical. I On tho 8th December, a treaty of alliance j was itssigucd at Vienna between Austria, ! Frace and England. The exact terms arc ! not known, hut arc surmised as follows: j 1. That Austria regards the violation of I the Turkish territory as war against herself, j 2. That Austria will augment her force [ in the Principalities, so as to enable tha i i Turks til IVMIIllP i ifli'lKl i'i > niwiriliiiiic That on the demand of France and i England, 20t000 Austrians will be sent to the Crimea. 4. I'Vanc? and England guarantee that the territorial possessions of Austria shall, ! under all circumstance?, remain undimin| ished. 5. "At present secret." ti. I'russia shall be invited t.u join the alliance. 7. The treaty to come into operation on the par of Austria, should Russia not come to terms before, January the 2d. There is also published a. letter from Count Nosselroile, setting forth the terms on which the Czar will assent to peace, viz: 1. A joint guarantee by the five powers of the protection of the whole Christian population in Turkey. 2. A joint pmtecorate of the live powers on the Principalities, subject to existing Rus sian treaties. 3. Tin: revision of the treaty of 1841, to which Russia will assent, if the Sultan will likewise do so. 4. The free navigation of the Danube. The speech of the.King of Russia to the Chambers is also published. The King says that the army shall bo made ready for war, but he refrains from indicating the course which Prussia will adopt. Meantime the Berlin papers publish a despatch from the Ha?*on Von Mantefleuil, Nov. 15th, to the Ambassador at v icnna, expressing the deter-1 uiinalion of the Prusian Government not to! demand from Russia any concessions beyond the four points. It is indeed stated, but should lie received with caution, that a council held All I ho tlw? ICiiifr rvf PpmcoJm to unite in tlic treat}*, with a view to bring tiie war to a close. The deliberations of the Germanic Diet Committe are most important. Tlie actual position of affairs seems to be, that Prussia insists on a declaration in favor of Prussian Policy, or? at least of neutrality : while on the contrary, Austria insists that the following point shall be decided : wheth cr tlie rvortli .Eastern frontiers ot" Austria are not siifliciiently threatened to warrant an immediate support from the federal troop*. Most of the Germanic States are with haste putting their armies on a war footing. The present, opportunity ior peace is probably the Inst, and if this bcf rejected, we may be prepared to see next spring military operations on as large a scale as they were during the great wars of the French Empire. The greatest activity was displayed in the war and navy departments both in France and England., Turkey had also despatched more troops to the seat of war. The French government had, htfwevcr, been put to the greatest straits for the want of vessels.
