Tne conduct of Russia on the question of the Sound Dots has been very characteristic. Oar readers are of mine aware that the Danish Oovern ment lvely invited the Maritime Powers of Europe to send Gimniiseioners to Copenhagen to arrange for a definitive settlement of these Does. In conformity with this invitation, a Commission, in which England, Austria, Pearce, Belgium, Holland, Prussia, Russia, and Sweden were represented, met at the Danish capital early in January of the present year. After two or three meeting. the Commission suspended its proceedings in May lest. At the first meeting, 11. DE TEGOBJIDICI, the Russian Commissioner, threw cold water on the project by announcing : Ttc his o,verawiest had so wish to see the Semi Dies *Wished, aid had ssut him to Copeetssea merely to met the views of the Ddial.h Government. This statement may be accepted as the literal truth we think; and for this simple remota, that, as it is through Russian ageury that Denmark is principally enabled to secure payment of the Sound Does, so long ae those Does are in existenee, and form a sub stantial part of the ues of that state, the political Power of Revels over the Court of Copenhagen is proportionably great. So much, indeed, is this the case that, wh the Danish Government exhibits the least inclination to pursue a policy distaateful to the Court of Sr. Petersburg, it is notorious that that Court is sure to raise some dimagrseable question On to the collection of the Sound Dues, and thus, through its financial necessities, Roasts places poli tical pressers on Denmark. The maintenance of the Sound Does therefore 'egotists the dependence of Denmark on Russia, and one mode of releasing Den mark from the hold which the CZAR has over that portion of Scandinavia is obviously the abolition, in some way or other, of these Dose. It was, Wass greatly, quite in conformity with the established policy and the political interests of Russia that M. DI TEGOBOzsZI should thus declare that his Govera meet "had no wish to see the Sound Does abolished." That declaration M. DI TEGODORSKI Bede on the 4th of January, 1836. Before, however, a =math elapsed, a change came over the nano! the Reesian cabinet, for at the next meeting of the Commission, held on the 4:h of February, this very M. DR TS 00301Sil reversed the announcement he had made on the 4th of January, by saying: That he ass authorised by his freeways's, or segatist M. Ds BLoinien that they accepted the principle of the re deseptioe of the Dan sad the pri posed of the Doltish o.yera west that the eomp.nsatioa for those on shippieg shoald Ball spas the Sig And oo the 9th of May last, M. de Twos°lsm *toed a formal protocol, binding Russia to this mode of settling the qiustioo. To this protocol Sweden, which has a deep interest in the freedom of the Baltic, and in releasing Denmark from dependence ea Russia, and which has only a peconiary interest to the extent of 4i per cent. 00 the Sound Does, very naturally and properly adhered. Now, how cams about this remarkable change in the policy of the Raglan Goverameat ; all the more ftmarkable, seeing that each a settlement of the Does Mould cost Romig a good round million storing P Simply thee.

At the geeend meeting, the Remise Govern meat egeat, finding how the land lay, sad that there wag no immediate, and small pro speetive, chaste of the Danish project being accepted by Ragland, very cheaply accepted it fir hie owe Government. Oa the 23e4 of Mafth, the English Cabinet, harm, thee given the Danish pro. Jed full oftaideration, declined to secede to it. Wherftpoo, on the 9th of May, Reads, knowing I very well that without the cofterrence of Ragland any gosh redemptioo of the Bound Deft could not be effected, formally bound hermit to Danmark to ad here to the Danish priaelple of !armories. This, we my, is eltereeteriede of Barman policy, barmen edits obvious fatness* and irmeserity. Whoa the redemption appeared pounds, Buda bad M au wish to w the Sound Dos abolished r se mut, however, so the redemption appeared hapoosi Ruda fo rm ally pledged herself to their abolition o v a the principle of emspengadae. Of merge, the Danish Cabinet is too astute to be deluded and deceived by &fakery of this eon, and we are glad to know that it perfeetly appesolatee this 'playing East and loom with its interests by its ally. Bat the Danish Govern meet on ito pan very naturally incepts the adhesion or Rearm to its project se a sewn of Inducing Ent Lad and the other maritime states, which, with the exception of Sweden, have given no such adhesion, to fall into its views. It is, of course, the political interest of England to see Denmark liberated from that depredates oe Ramis which sow aids her in enforcing payment of the Sound Dues; and it is the interest of British shipowners that the British Governmest should adopt tie Danish proposal, and coetribete 1,139,2711. as its awe of the 3,937,6001. which Denmark Wm for the abolition of the Does. Bet the interests of our ship owners and shippers of goods from the Baltic, and of the British Government, representing the British people, may not, it is possible, be quite irleetisal in the matter. It is the interest of the former to get rid of the burthen on any terms, 'bruise it is the interest of the latter to get rid alit may oa fair and proper terms; and there is this obvious difficulty in the matter, that is ecasidering the gustiest of tame, we area good deal at the weeny of Demuth is one respect It is from Denmark only that we eau get the statistics of the Does, and when the modifies of th►ir abolition is compensation, Deansark has ob viously a very strong motive for exaggerating the Beres. At t Coteerences of Copenhagen, the tabular warm K. DI BL ME prod were wholly ismsisd I and there was this very esepitious silremestanse attesdiog them, that the tables origi nally larenght forward justified a capitalisation of the Dees which at 4 per seat. would have aaesated to 8,750,0001., whereas at the emend mestiog of the Coaferesos the tablre only justified, at the IMO rate, a compensation of 3 937,6001. This large diem. policy is, of courier, unfavourable to a reliance on the accuracy of Daniell arithmetic, ire i thie qualities; and on the whole we thigh Lori' CultrtootiOnte to a very mooed opinion not to taw as each* Ws. _ . - But when Lord CLARENDON aunts to that opinka we were rill immersed in war expenditure, and the chief reason on which he refused to recommend to Parliament to vote a sum of money out of general taxation to remove • charge upon a particular branch of trade no longer exists in the foam it than did. Denmark, too, has positively rejected Lord Cutnitisnonli counter-project of a tonnage duty for a given number of years; and therefore the Government have very properly referred the question as to the incidence of the Bound Dues to a Committee of the House of Commons. This question I. was of some difficulty in political economy ; but. should it be the opinion of the Committee that the burthen of the Bound Dues falls, so far as England is concerned, on the consumer,then of course the object lion to provide compensation for their abolition out of the general taxation of the country, if their aboli tion be desirable, falls to the ground; and instead o' a matter of principle, the question will resolve lush into one of details—whether it is desirable to contri bute towards their abolition, and, if so, what sum ought to be paid to Denmark. Denmark will probably be found to have raised her pecuniary pretensions for compensation much too high, both as to the pecuniary basis on which she calculates that compensation and as to her title to the Sound Does. Without going so far u the United Staten Government have gone in denying the Danish title in tote, it is obvious that a right merely founded on treaties which can be abrogated, and a right arising oat of territorial pretensions, are very different things. Territorially Denmark can have no right to mulct commerce entering into or peeping oat of the Baltic her only title to do so is convectional acquiescence, which could at any time be terminated, or at all events would cease in war. To treat, therefore, the gross or the net average receipts of these &mad Dues se if they were rent derived from land, and demand compensation on that basis, is clearly iaadmiseible. 1 Denmark most be content to make large deductions, because of the precariousness of the tenure by which she collects these Dues, before aey aoseptable principle of compensation for their abolition on be agreed oti.

The intelligence from Kamesch by the Sinai is to the 3rd. The whole of the first French corps had left, with the exception of the 4th division. General de S tiles, in command of that corps, had embarked on herd the Wagram, and there were sufficient vessels in the bay to carry away the whole division, which would leave on or about the Bth. The English were to use the vessels of the royal navy for carrying away their troops. Out of the forty-s;x battalions which they bad in the Crimea, twenty-one have de parted. The state of the troops is represented as satisfactory, some eases of dysentery existing. Letters from the Sea of Asoff come down to the 2nd. Oeaeral de Wrangel, the old governor of Hertel), bad returned the day before, and announced in a proclamation hir re-appointment to his former post. The crops throughout the whole country, ex tending from Theodosia to the Gulf of the Don, are represented as exceedingly fine. The only part that had suffered during the war was the neighbourhood of the sea coast. TURKEY. The Constantinople journals and letters of the 6th, brought by the Sir ai, have come to band, but their contents are not of any eery great importance. There is a letter from Trebiznnd announcing that the Russians, before giving up the town of Kars, had blown up the fortifications. Reprisals were spoken of at Chefketil and other places taken by the Turks at the commencement of the war, but it appears doubtful that such a measure will be re sorted to. It is said also that at a late cabinet council at Constantinople, it was decided to send a note to the allied cabinets, mentioning these acts, and consulting them on the reparation to be de• mended from Russia. The Grand Vizier Aali Pacha was expected at Con stantinople about the 20th. The Porte had postponed until after his a►rical the consideration of the various financial combinations proposed to it for some time past. That of Mr. Layard is stated to have the best chance of sucasse, but the Turkish government desires to Ste it united to that of M. de Rothschild. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, ;MIN 16.

A letter from Vienna of the 12th, in the Bourse Garotte, says:—" It is incorrect that Prussia has pro nounced in favour of the union of the Principalities. The cabinet of Vienna hes submitted to the p3wers a series of views relating to the reorganisation of the Principalities, in which the question of the union is also difettned. France, England, and the Porte have replied to this communication, but Prussia has not yet done so ; from which it is in ferred that the calsicet of Berlin has not yet thought proper to declare itself on this question." THE ZOLLVEREIN. A letter from Berlin of the 12th, in the Gazelle of the German Expire, ape ;—" It is affirmed that at the Congress of Paris there was a question between M. de Manteuffel and Count Walewski of measures to adapt the customs system of France to that of the Z Alverein with respect to navigation. Last week the French Minister despatched a project relative to the latter point for the examination of our govern ment. The Ministers of Commerce and Finance in Prussia have in eonsrquenoe appointed a mlx.d com mission charged with the examination. It is per • posed to recognise the right of the ships of each nation to enjoy in the ports of either the most fa vourable privileges extended to any other nation.

The Committee of FIIIIIIIOP, in the Second Cham ber of Hanover, has appended to its report on the budget of the expenses resulting from the relations with the Germanic Diet, a proposition for introdoc• tog lato Germany a uniform system of weights, measures„ and coinage, and as well foe the reestab lishment of a Games fleet, and the creation of a Federal Court. The constitutional committee also presented a report, rjecting all the propositions of the government without exc..ptiou, and recommend. log a return to the constitution of 1848 as the surest means for the government to attain the object which it proposed, and only leaving undecided one point, that which relates to the permanent nomination of the section of competence in the Council of State. The committee also rejected the proposition of the government for modifying parts of the fundamental law, but it gave its approbation to some of the changes tending to simplify electoral operation.. Out of fourteen members composing the committee, the two ministers aloe* who formed part of it voted against its conclusions. SPAIN. MADRID, Jmui 16. Yesterday the hand of the infant Donna Amelia was demanded at a solemn audience on belnlt of the Prince Adalbert of Bavaria. The Gazette declares that the Dake of Victory will always govern in acoordanoe with the opinion of the majority of the Cortes, whatever that opinion may be. The messing of this statement doubtless is that should the Cortes decide upon the impeachment of Queen Christina, Espartero will not shrink from giving effect to their vote.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. 0 , 1011 001 OWN PARIS, TVISDAT ETEWiWO. I mentioned some time since, as a thing of which I felt no doubt, that the Senate would ba ordered to take the "initiative " of proposing that is case of the death of the Emperor the Empress should be ap pointed regent. The Senate has not yet spoken, it having been considered desirable that public opinion should first pronounce itself on the subject by the mouth of the government press. Accordingly official writers have been instructed to de monstrate by a process of reasoning, and a reference to historical precedents, that women are better regents than men. Horrid stories will be told about unnatural uncles which will be anything but pleasant reading tor the Pallas Royal, and it will be shown that in exactly the same prc portion as women are, by the Salique Law, deemed and taken to be incapable of govern ing on their own account, they are the best governors possible in the name of their children. The principle of the feudal law, that the beet guardian of the inheritance is the nearest of kin out of the line of succession, will be appealed to, and u the arguments allowed to be published will be all one way, they are pretty sure to meet with consider. able success, apart from the intrinsic merit of the reasoning. However, given the permanence of the Napoleonic dynasty, there is little doubt that the regency of ►he Empress would, at the outset at least, be more popular than that of soy prince of the house of Bonaparte. This morning, at eleven o'elc Ile, the Pope's Legate received the archbishops and bishops of France in his apartments in the Tuileries. Cardinal Donald, Arch bishop of Lyons, made a complimentary speech in the name of the French episeopacy. At the concha sion of his seacah the Archbishop expressed a hope that tee Cardinal-Legate would lay at the feet of his Holiness the unanimous prayer of the arch bishop* and bishops of France relative to the celebration of the fe:e of the Same Ccear tied the beatification of the venerable sister of Paray.le-Monisl, who in an especial manner contributed to the iosti , alien of that fe•e. Cardinal Pate zi, in reply, said he would not fail to transmit to the Pope the wishes of the French archbishops and bishops, and that he was sure the heart of his Holiness would to deeply moved by their sympathy. The Cardinal Legate, the Roman prelates of his suite, and all the archbishops and bishops present at the baptism, see invited to dine with the Emperor at St. Cloud to day. The following is a translation of the Latin address pronounced by Cardinal Pierizi, in presenting the Gulden Rose to the Empress of the French: linteive from our bands this rose, which we present to you in virtue of a spacial eommiwion entrssted to ma by the Very Holy Father i■ Imes Curios, Pias IX , Sovereign Pontiff by the Bras of GA.

The Municipal Council of Nantes has just adopted uoanisnoutly a proposition from the mayor that a re quest should be respectfully presented to the Em. peror, to accept from that town a residence for the Prince Imperial. In my notice of the ball at the Hotel de Ville, I should have stated that the Emperor opened the bill with Madame Hausmann, the Empress danciog with the Prefect of the Sriae. Count de Persigny, French Ambrassdor at Lon don, who came to Pare for the baptismal fkee, has been raised, by decree dated June 16, to the dignity of Grand Crow of the Legion of Honour.

GRAND BALL AT THE HOTEL DE VILLE. PARIS, TreeliD•T MOIINIM). The baptismal fêtes were closed last night by" grand ball at the Hotel de Ville, which ful'y sus. tallied the world-wide reputation of the city et Paris for elegant hospitality. The interior decorations of the palace were nearly the same as on the occasion of the ball given to Qtreen Victoria, but I think them were even more flowers. Every staircase, passage, and corridor was lined with thick hedges of rose trees in full bearing, and behind the roses. precedence being moat justly given to the rose which will ever be the " quest of flowers"—the choices' products of the green-house were piled up in wondrous profusion. The Salle des Caryatides was a great point of attraction. Two spiral staircases converging from the windoss of the prin. cipal salon, near the great ball-room, aid meeting in the parterre below, were crowded the whole evening long with people "ascending and descending" in two streams, so continuous that the effect wee grotesque. To a madden view it looked as if a party audits and gentlemen, in full dress, were running op and down stairs like children for sport. This pat terre afforded a most charming relief from the heat of the dancing rooms. There were cooling and murmuring fountains, 'awes, flower-beds, grottoes, and velvet sofas, on which to sit to look at them. Around this Sella was a diorama representing views of places partite. lastly deer to the Empress, such as Biarritz, where she passed much of her youth, the forests of Fon. tsinebleau and Compiegne, where she met the Em. peror in the days of courtship, and the Cathedral of Notre Dame, where she was married to him. These views were examined with much curiosity. The company, as is always the case at the Hotel de Ville., began to arrive very early. Before ten o'clock the Grand Salle des Fetes, the Salon des Arcades, the Salon des Prevots, and the Salon do l'Empereur were.* full as they could well be. The Emperor and Empress, with the court party, arrived in six carriage' at about half-past 10. Their Majes. ties were escorted by the Cent Garda and a squadron of Guides. After walking through the salons the Emperor opened the ball with the Princess Marie of Baden. The Empress and Prince Oscar of Sweden being their rig aerie. Her Majesty, who looked remarkably well, wore a white drew with silver spangles, a tiara of diamonds, and a magnifi. cent ruby necklace. After dancing, their Majestic' sat down on chairs but slightly raised from eke floor. The crowd was allowed to press very closely upon them. Indeed I never saw • royal party mixing so completely with the general company as did that of their Majesties on this occasion. Several qua drilles were danced, their Majesties looking on. They walked repeatedly about several of the rooms, the Empress leaning on the arm of Prince Oscar of Sweden, and the Emperor giving his arm to the Grand Duchess Stephanie of Bolen. Their Majesties stayed an unusually long time at this tet e . It caw as late as a quarter put one when they left. Deno. dog was then resumed and kept up with great spirit till near five in the morning. There were I know not how many dancing rooms besides the two grand salons. Although I have for many days past heard nothing but groans of die. appointment in the Faubourg St. Honor# at the annoucced determination of the municipality to sak fewer foreigners than usual on this occasion—the claims of French people to this peculiarly DI , Honed fete being considered pre.eminent—the English were, after all, not badly used. I saw a very large proportion, both civil and military, and there were" great many English ladies. There were also many foreign officers of all nations. Several Houdin officers in uniform were the object of marked attention. A striking novelty of this fête was the appearance of the Piece de l'Hotel de Ville. The two mock buildings at the corner of the Avenue Victoria. to which I made allusion in a former letter, are cer tainly the largest "card-houses" that were eau seen. Together they look as big as the Hotel de Ville itself, and to the eye, when viewed from the terrace rude on purpose to lee them from, they appear as solid. This terrace, richly carpeted, was visited by almost all the company in the course of the evening. The French people are mightily tickled at this improvised city, represecting the Plug de l'Hotel de Ville as it will be when it is bundled according to the plan. St. Jaques Ls Boucherie us again illumieated; and beyond the arch which unites the two card-houses a large extempore gar den, illuminated, was seen in perspective. Just about 4 o'clock, when the greater part of the corn. patty had left, a few drops of rain fell, as if as a signal that the Wee, which have been signally favoured by the weather, were over. ITALY. ROME. THE LADY FRANK LIN CASE AT PORTO D'ANZIO. (mow ova owx COIIS3SPONDINT.) 110518, Jura 12. ' I mentioned to you, in my last, that a mate and boat's crew, belonging to the British transport Lady Franklin, were arrested by the Papal mho rities at Porto d'Anzio on the evening of the .:h. However justifiable the port authorities may have been in arresting a boat's crew of foreigners, who landed at night without having previously obtained pralique, and however excusable any extra degree of precautioc on their part may be considered just now that the orders of the government ere so strict in eon• sequence of the contiou•l dread of political ge waders, there is no excuse for their having prohibited their prisoners, after having verified the authenticity of their papers, from communicating immedistely with the British Vice Consul, Signor D'Andres, and still less for having kept them without tad fat eighteen hours. It was, indeed, mainly owing to the interoeuton of an English lady, Mrs. Leonard, thee staying at Porto d'Anzio, that food and better quar tets were granted to the prisoners until weirs fit the farther mode of tres , ing them ehou:d genre from Rome. Satisfactory instructions •,re 5002 forwarded from the Under - Secretary of SVC, Monsignor Berardi, on the urgent nom' &trances of the British repreeentrive st Rome, Mr. It. B.
