Tha backs of the peer •nimale would net bear a saddle- On the Dinube, likewise, one brigade of the Guards was onsamptd its • position which Oxea PACHA had pointed out u especially deadly. The written wanting of the experienced Oars wes ignored, and disuse and death were the consequence. When the army was transferred to the Crimea the management was so provident that for many weeks the men bad not a cbsuge of clothes. The Co"- atutoss-ix.CulllF was so farsighted that when poor Commieury-General PILGER, in the madness of his common sense, demanded again and again where the army was to be a month hence, the only reply vouchsafed was—that the Commander•in-Chief could not tell. In the beginning of October it was deter minedio open trencher, to aim siege batteries, and yet Ste RICHARD AIRIT declares it was only in November that it was resolved to winter is the Cameo. The army was posted seven or eight miles from its supplies of feed and ammunition, and the road by which alone these supplies could be brought up was a quagmire. Lord RAG• LAN'S plan wes to keep the army in front of the enemy. No troops could be spared to make the read, and therefore they starved. No roadmakers were to be got at Constantinople, and noes were sent for from &Wind; because, as Sir JOILY BURGOTNII said, the idea never occurred to anybody. The Government at home were kept so thoroughly informed of the state of things by the offioera on the spot that the first intelligence which reached the Penis Misters' and his colleagues of the terrible mafferings of the soldiees, and their imminent annihila tion, was the information of newspaper correspond ents. The Government itself, and the COIIIIANDER. ix-Cniu, were so utterly incompetent to supply the army with clothing and with the necessaries of life, that a fend was collected, and successfully distributed by three or four private gentlemen. The hospitals were in such a disgraceful condition—partly through the incompetence of an aged purveyor—that a baud of heroic ladies was needed to remedy the evils; whilst the soffit*, of the purveyor, after he had been declared incompetent, were retained by the direct interference of the _ Lord Ramie. The is. dignation of the annoy wee not to be euppretned• Investigation upon investigation took place. Through out the whole of this painful history, the only men who suffered rebuke were Lord LOGAN and t►e Com missary-General TILOS!". Of Lard LIICAN we my nothing t bet the CONNISSAIT•GININAL, II it now appean, seem to have been the only man who had any foresight, or anticipated the dial:satire which would certainly arise. If the Bri tish army in the Crimea had been weU fed, well clothed, moderately worked, end ably handled, the man who would have resped the glory would have been the Commander-in-Chief, Lord Raoun. Bat as the army suffered from starvaliou, nakeduese, and overwork, the Commotoder-inChief, Lord RAGLAN, is the man who must be held reepoesible. There may possibly be circumstances which may render hie peti tion an anomaly in the history of war; bet until these circumstance, are established, we are entitled to swum their non-rxiatesor. An army of 28,000 men within seven miles of the amplest resources, with the soldiers perishing of starvation and overwork, and the cavalry borers so red aced by want of feed that they man k exhaseted by the wayside whilst they were led by their riders—ransack history end producers meat Apar& lel to this, in which the Cvmmander•io-(hid has been held irresponsible. The cue of Lord RAGLAN may be the Bret ; but we most observe that hie friends have chosen a strange mode of defending him ; for throughout every single investigation his name ham bees suppressed—hie band ie nowhere visible. Then facts having been established, the publie had come to the conclusion that the conduct of our mili tary officers bad exhibited gross incompetence. For a time, indeed, the incompetency was admitted. We were conjured to remember that, after forty year of peace, men had forgotten the art of war ; that the Hone of Ominous had destroyed nerythieg by its parsimony; that changes were in contemplation, and were being car ried into effect. There seemed to be some spirit ef repentance. Bat now that the storm ham blown ever a change has come over the spirit of that dream, The first thing that you see no opening a newspaper fa the account of some banquet to some Crimean hero. at which he fe generally preeseted with a ravel& sent sword. The other day the late Qeartermeeter. General Colonel PERCT HERBERT had this honour conferred upon him, and some two bye ago Lord CARDIGAN bad the mare lIIIIIIOIIy performed at Leeds. Both then officers took the opportunity of eulogising the conduct of the late Commander•in- Chief, Lord RAGLAN, but neither of them stated any single feet which should iodine any sensible man to es timate very highly the merits of that moat gallaatoeloer. Colonel Fancy HERBERT talked in a foolish way about the abase that wax poured upon the Doke of WEL unirots, and seemed to think that the fact of being abused was an argument in a man's fame. The cane are very different. At the time when the Doke IMA rising into fame he had everything spinet him. Faction ran high.

THE CORONATION OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA. some monis( by the rappel, and pat through all the evolutions of a sham fight, without any previous notice or promotion. This, while it will test the dicier», and reed sees et the troop, will b 3 a splen did spectacle for all who may be so fortunate as to be on the qvi not. From the Champ de Man to the field on which the great " lihrt..in" of the people is to be held is but a step, and threi miles of tables are already to be seen, flanked by the fountains from 'which wine and "quern" and " vodka " are to flow during the festival. I vonland to express my fears that such an unlimited supply of strong drinks might create riot and d'sceier, but wee comforted with a hint that care would be taken in the preparation of the tempting fluids to prevent much disturbance of =IA equilibrium Still lam afraid that if Mr. Henry suddenly appared here from Bow-street on the following morning he would find ample employ ment in inflicting the five shilling penalty. Another feature of the programme, for which • grand suet,. is expected, is the Spectacle gala" at the theatre —a new oce,and I believe ems of the largest in the word. Its predecessor was burned down some three yaw since, and the present, which is quite finished, hes 13 •en only eighteen months in course of erection. I should stroogly_advise Mr. Gye to get a drawing of it before he rebuilds Covent Garden, as it is decidedly the handsomest and best proportioned I have ever seen. Althouet of twenty.flve feet more diameter than the Ban Carlos, it appears to be of moderate extent; and the decorations, while costly, are of the best taste and design. The architect, the Chevalier Albert Coves, is a Venetian, long in the service of the Czar as chief theatrics! architect; and to a compatriot, Signor Dori, the preparation of the scenery is entrusted. He bu completed a beauti ful dm acne, delineating an episode in Russian history, in which a peasant and • soldier roused the people of Moscow to a successful resistance to the then all-powerful Poles. It ie a fine work, and will no doubt look splendid when properly placed in a well•lighted theatre. The artiste., 600 in number, arrived last night by special train, and were reduced to great strain for sleeping accommodation. The petit Lablache was, I am informed, so fortunate as to secure three camp stool' and a sofa cushion, with which be extemporised a luxurious couch. As a matter of course they will all settle down soon Into comfortable quarters; but a sodden irruption of 600 tired choristers and corypeas was enough to put any hotel-keeper to his wit's end. (FROM OUR SPECIAL MOSCOW. Aaaos2 28. As the day of hie Imperial &Weety's public entry more nearly approaches, the appearance of this extra ordinary city becomes more and mere gay, more and more peculiar, more and mote unlike at once what I had hitherto men in other great continental cities, and what I had anticipated would be its own appearener. I had looked forward to some huge relic of former and more barbarous times, with tumble-doors half Asiatic-looking homes, and half-Asistio populations— in short, to a city from which the glory had departed, and which waited only the slow but certain touch of time to become for the curious traveller another Tadmor or Palmyra. What then must have been my surprise to find myself anal 01109 est down in a capital gay as Paris, populous uLanden, end having features of its own which give It great and peculiar interest . Whatever I may have thought or said in farm of St. Petersburg as the scene of the coronation, a eight of Moscow has completely changed my opinion. The city of Peter the Great is, in truth, on the grandest scale; but it is all grand, and there is nothing upon which to rest the eye as it ranges from one colossal palace to another. One feels in passing slug its interminable streets, or crossing its praitiolike square., something like what must have been Galli- Ter's sensations in the capital of Brobdiguag, namely, a mortiiyieg conviction of one's own littleness, and of the immense want of proportion between the huge architectural shell and its insig nificant human kernel. Yon think of the hall of Eblia u you pze on the solemn grandeur of the hack church, end long to come to the humb:e habitations of common men. But in Moscow, with its glorious undulating site, its long irregular streets of handsome villas, interspersed with greenery, its handsome magosina, and its constant rattle of equi pages, you feel as if surrounded by human interest, and cease to wonder why neither despotic power, nor long neglect, nor systematic preference for a rival can wean the true Russian from his love for the ancient cradle of his race. And now it looks brighter and gayer than ever. Paint, and lime, and varnish, have done wonders, making evea the old Chimes@ town look sprightly and modern ; while the gilder has given to the thousand domes, minarets, and spires of Moscow a splendour and retolgenoe which can only be appreciated by being seen. Stand on the esplanade of the Kremlin, and having first curiously examined its battlernented walls, its aseisat treasury, its grotesque church— the Assumptioc—so soon to be the Kane of a solemn rite, its gay modern palace, and its thou sand and one quaint details; watch for a moment the people, high and low, military and civil, as they reverentially doff their hats while passing seder the sacred gate; and then turn suddenly towards the vast city that spreads itself out beneath your feet, count its innumerable church spires of de lkate green, bright golden, or royal rt d—look down its long streets, alive with human ants—learn to distinguish its fortresolike convents, its regal pa laces, its great publie lasting% and you mast in deed admit that you are gazing on a panorama to which the civilised world can age bet few parallels. We can tell that the Boyar& are pouring into town by the number of extraordinary looking old equipages that throng the streets in every direction. I saw one today that would @stockish Long-acre, draws by a traia of four wild-looking Cossack hotels, and laden with a large consigunceet of the loyal noblesse of rural Russia. Even the mujiks stopped to look at it, and the who', of the handsome modern landau. as they dew pest, passed jokes which must have been pungent from the irritation they created in the rustle Juin. Bat not only the Boyar& come to pay their respects to their Czar. The struts are literally crowded with wild Comities, handsome Georgians, pale Cireassians, &roe Kirgkisiatm, foppish Persians —al come to see the sight and pay the regulated homage to their sovereign lord. One is n tired looking and asking questions, but that the answers are always satisfactory would be, perhaps, a rash assertion. Sir Robert and Lady Emily Peel, Lord Ward, and a large party, are all off to bliehni Novgorod, to the great fair, where I fear their accommodation will not be much better than that which en the night of their snivel here ao much startled the Italian invaders. The Emperor has not as yet arrived at his little roadside pekes of Petrovski, bat he is mo. mestarily expected, and everything is ready for his reception. Clore to the palace is a triumphal arch, from whence the procession is to start, and from that to the Kremlin is a distance of five vents, a tolerably long rout, for a great and solemn proosseion. The road on both sides is thickly studded with galleries, exceedingly well constructed for mist', in which the prices vary from ten to fifty roubles. Bat the fact is that, by a curious monetary revolution, the rouble has completely taken the pleas of the kopeck in the estimation of every one that hes anything to sell, and will woo, I fear, be seen only in the cabinets of the curious, if swat. lowed up at the rate at which it has disappeared during the last few days. If you want a mujik to go a menage into the next street be demands two roubles for the job, and live for deceliki fare, es he weld not possibly think of walking in weather such ea we are now blamed with, and the same system pervades everything with which the visitors have anything to de. Lord Granville Is comfortably located in his seen. did palace, formerly the residence of Prince 011Z111410, and the street in which It is situated is a scene of constant bustle. There is a splendid suits of rooms, elegantly famished, aid capable of accommodating, ' , according to the London systems of cramming, two thousand Tenons; but the Russians must have room or their Mszonrluv, their Cracoviennes, and teas sit. down suppers, and therefore it is probable that the invitations will not exceed six hundred. I believe his lordship's object will be to please by the good taste and quality of his entertaimments, rather than to vie with the Russian motility in that latish' expenditure which to them would be no novelty. Whatever is dome at the embassy will, I sot ' sure, be well done, and will fully sustain the reputation which his lordship has already acquired in this violent capital. Both he and his snits its everywhere treated with the greatest attention and respect, and are unaoimous in their tentimoey to the kitdliness and hospitality of their reception. Yesterday owning his lordship rods over to the amp, sad was fortunate is witnessing a greed parade, for which the whole of the Gaud% about 60,000, were termed out.

The Ganstie contradicts the news that the Eynon had been seized, and the editor fined, for an article in defence of Naresex. M. Zambrano is •ppinted Spanish minister at Costa-Rica. M. Goal at Chi'', and M. Rome& at the Equator. A Madrid letter of August 27, in the Ind 4 penclanee of Brawl', says: I have hitherto abstained from epeekieg of a very grave matter, as to which I am enabled to give you details hitherto unpublished. If I had sent you this news before, the Mode redo j le, with their wonted insolent*, 'mull have cried out "calumny." Now, they cannot. Before the re ipilution of 1854, and under the moderate" government, General Ortega, an intimate friend of Mutes, was captain gene ral of the Canary Islands. One of the richest proprietors of the colony died, leaving swift, the sole heir to ►is laments (octane. Oen. o:tags, io confederacy with two superior ofil ens, at up some false heirs, with whom he shared a great part of the deceased's praperty. The liodersdo government would have winked at this iniquity, for it was iuelf gutltj of the most shameful soalvereations. Happily the Tavola - Con of July broke oat, and Espertero's government lent • willicg ear to the complaint of the rightful heirs.,. An inquiry was ordered, and the court martial has only within the last few days brought its investigation to a close. I am wend that the auditor at war demands a sentence of twenty years' imprisonment in irons egainst Ortega. It is even said this we) , dsy that the government is disposed to eel' the French government for the extradition of Ortega and his ecoomplicee. Manila Concha has taken immense trouble to hush up the affair, but all his effoity have been ineffectual. He went penonelly to the auditor at war, end said to him, " It is impossible that a Spanish general CM be guilty of so serious a charge." The auditor only replied by showing him the papers, end the marshal was forced to admit that the accusation was well founded. Marshy' Ser. num also lock steps to procure en aquittal, but desisted when he saw the evidence. The Madrid Gazette of the 291 alt. publishes a letter from a number of grandees of Bpsin to the Minister of the Interior, announcing that to relieve the distress caused by the dearness of food, they have ,ordered all the corn belonging to them, end all that , which they may receive in payment of rent, to be sold; also that they have recommended the landed , aristocracy generally to follow their example. This letter is accompanied by one from the minister, thanking the grandees in the name of the Queen. The sale of the national and ecclesiastical property in the Beetles provinces wes going on well. The Epoea says that the government does not mean to nominate a new minister to Mexico until the differences with that country shell be settled; and that it had some idea of dismissing the ministers at Berlin and Washington. (MOM A SPICUL The Moderados are in consternation. You know that for some days past the journals of the Nereus party had carried on a brisk controversy with the Bpoca, and they told O'Donnell plainly that he meet give way to the natural leader of the Moderadoa—namely, to Narvaer The Epoea, for lack of arguments, had made no reply to their last article; but O'Donnell has brought doers I , upon them the intervention of a Deus ex machine; be bas caused to be published the sixth sheet of the parliamentary report upon the accusations against Queen Christine. This argument ad hominem is a terrible vengeance for the attacks which' have been made upon him, and will be' an abiding menace for the future. "I have die. Greatly maintained some reserve upon the subject," O'Donnell now seems to say to his imprudent' enemies, " but see what eve the weapons which I shall nee against you in future, if your attacks upon me should oblige me to resort to them.' The blow has told upoa the Palaces, who know not how to retreat the unlucky step to which they have committed themselves. This name of Moderados, with which the party has invested itself, ie an appellation calculated to mislead the public opinion of Europe. Oire would supper*, from the signification of the word, that these people preached and practised moderation in the government. I will send you, before long, a brief sketch of the history of the lest twenty years, and your readers will thence learn what to think of these pretended Moderate* in Spain. At Barcelona, some bakers have been fined who had raised the price of bread, without an authorisation from the municipality. A band° has been published by the municipal authorities, which reminds one of the time when a minimum was fixed in France. The want of commercial confidence which generally prevails has been aggravated by the discovery of a manufacture of base coin which was carried on in Catalonia, and also of a system of forgery which existed in Andeleeie. The discontent of the masses is extreme, and every morning sine the 23rd of August the police have been employed in tearing down revolutionary placards which are posted up regularly every night on the walls at Barcelona. With all their vigilance, the police agents have not yet been able to discover the authors of these placards, nor to seize the persons who stick them up. At Mahon, there was an earthquake at nine o'clock in the evening of the 24th. The sea rose very high, several vessels in the harbour lost their moariogs and sustained much damage. One of the Peres ~etynatins, who were exiled by the government, has disappeared from the town in France where he was staying, and is supposed to be hiding in B' ay. To his presence the redoubled audacity of the Culiste, and the more decided opposition made to the sale of the estates in mortmain, are attributed. The elerical party is everywhere lifting up its head, and at Seville the monastic house of St. Philip Ned has just been re-established. ITALY. PIEDMONT. The archbishops, bishops, end vicars-general of the ecclesiastical provinces of Turin, Genoa, Vercelli, and the Island of Sardinia, have addressed a collec tive protest, dated the 26:h ult., to the Piedmontese government, in which they declare their adherence to the protest of the bishops of Savoy, published in June last, against the measnris taken by the Minister of the loterior to enforce the new laws relating to l ecalesiastical matters. Among the subscribers to the hundred guns for Alessaadria are a gentleman and lady, named Bra mante, of Robbie, with their seventeen children — viz., eight boys and nine girls! TUSCANY. The Monitore Toscano, the official organ of the Tuscan government, states that on the night of the 24th some young men at Leghorn having caused great scandal by singing obscene songs, the gendarmes attempted to disperse them and the mob which had assembled to heat them, but, being repulsed, were obliged to retire ; they soon returned with a rein forcement of troops of the line, when order was speedily restored, and most of the rioters were ar rested. From the tone of the article it is not un reasonable to suppose that the affair was much more serious than is represented. (TROY OUR OWN CIENOt., Acorn 30. Mezzini has published in the journal e Pepolo an address to all Italian military men. He reproaches them for submitting to the all-dminent over the fillet their chief, and to denounce the issue ' Wade and ignorance of the publio,we hold it expedient to mated the public of notorious fads, and to record t►e deliberate °pipit:to ct military seen of science that Lord RAGLAN was ulterly useless as an administrator. To judge from the orations of aldermen and ootrotry gentlemen, toe public indignation would seem to have been unjust Let us tot C 3 deceived. Laudari u ialtdalo tiro is an excellent maxim; and we cannot but think that the fame of Lord RAGLAN has suffered more from the eulogies of incompetent men who owed murk of their promotion to his per favour than from any other cense. Thus the present Qus-termaster General, Sir RICHARD Ann v, delivered at Chelsea a bombastic panegyric upon his late patron, Lard RAGLAN, which, if its value be estimated by the military knowledge of the man who delivered it, is of no great cease. quinine. Indeed there is no man who has been moss insolent in his contempt of criticism, and who has at the same time so clearly written himself down in competent. We have had the curiosity to peruse a small foppish-looking volume, entitled "Addresses of Sir RICHARD Alec; K.C.8., before the Chelsea Board." It is not vary eesy to convict a military officer of incompetence, because from what we have lately witnessed it apt -are almost hopeless to expect the honest truth from them in the witnese•box. But happily we can produce Sir RICHARD AIRZY against himself. In discussing the appointment of Sir JOHN M'NaII.L as a Commissioner, the Quartermaster. General declares : "I am far from desiring to convey an impression that because such a step is unusual it would therefore b 3 wrong. On the contrary, I am one of those who believe that all professions are benefited by throwing upon them a little light from outside, end my regret is, not that civilians discuss military affairs too much, bat that they know too little of thee to be able to conduct a discussion with doe effect; and I sincerely believe that the comments abundantly applied to the business of the Qoarterrosster-Oenerars department have K. salted, not from any want of industry or intelligence on the part of my critics, but rather from the circum stance that there is no compendious elementary work from which they might acquaint themselves in a rapid sad easy way with the organisation of the British army." If critics ought to know the ditties of a Quer termaster.General before they oriticise—the Quarter master-0 I surely ought to know these duties himself.

Now if there is one thing clearer than another it is this, that the duties of the different departments in an army ought to be perfectly dietinot. if the Commissariat is responsible for the whole transport, and for that purpose has control over all the mesas of transport, it ought not to be interfered with; and of all the (Seers in the stay the Quartermaster- General ought to know this. And yet here we find fir RICHARD Aare, having just landed co an enemy's coast, disputing like a spoilt child with the Commissary, and claiming the carts which he had captured, merely because he had captured them, although he himself confesses that this claim was a violation of the rules of the service, and had to be relinquished. One may wonder at the shallow impertinence of a man who can utter a charitable lament over the ig norant impatience of his countrymen as to military platten; bat we cannot wonder that ander the super intendence of an officer so ignorant of his own duties, the army should have suffered privation to any extent. Let the after•dinner orators applaud the beili-dog courage of the soldiers to the very echo, but keep silence on the achievements of most of the general Akers. Tad ROYAL FAMILY Or 00DH.

TUMMY BVIININO. Oa Saturday (August 30), the Emperor and Renprem embarked at Biarritz in the Pelican steamer, to make an excursion along the coast. A famous pilot, of Soon, named Pierre °untie, who knows every reek and every sandbank for miles around, acelompanied them, and they, no doubt, returned safe at six in the seeming, although the news of their, snivel has not yet come to bend. The Priam Nopoleon, in consequence of bad weather, has given up the idea of continuing his northern voyage se for as the North Cape. The Reines Hortense and the Cosyte arrived at Christi ania, in Norway, oe August 21. The prince will probably go to Stockholm, and will return to Frans before long. The Minister of the Interior hes sent a circular, dated August 28, to all the prefects, desiring them to interdict the journals in the most absolute man ner, from continuum to treat of the controversy about the colour of their dig, which has been for some time going on between the fusionist,. A correspondent of the hedipesdancs Belo gives the following confident contradiction to • piece of news which has been currently accepted u true: I have often spokes of the probabilities of Mardis! Po lluter being appointed VI the supreme command in Algeria. It seemed impossible to fetus* this post to the waist and frequeally expressed wishes of the late Coansaauder-in-Chief of the army of the Crimea. I learn, however, very just lively to-say that the aloha tiro will be maintained. The Emperor is said to have expressed himself in the most fluterieg terms mud's, the marshal, but has given it to be asdentood that the title of Duke of Malakoff sad the pen sioa of 100,000 fruits were intended by his Majesty to be in full of all Maims for reward. The Emperor, moreover, has a due souse of the value of kterehal Randsn's services, being well wend that ke has sot to apprehend from him :fat attitede of sereausal resistant* which It semi Marshal Pelletier assumed in the East vase his instructions, no matter from bow high a quarter they emanated, did not square with hie ova views. On the other hand, the Zak:fetes, not con firming so much of the shove as infers Marshal PeHealer to be out of favour, says that his nomination to Algeria is adjourned," the Duke of Malakoff'. sword being kept in reserve foe eventu alities impossible as yet to be very clearly foreseen." There is a portentous tons in these words, but I think they may, without much risk, be taken more literally than the writer probably intended. The new dake's sword is, I suspect, simply in disporsibiliff, and the Zeksjette not only does not "clearly foresee" what it is reserved for, but has no grounds for supposing it to be reserved for any special object whatever. This much I say, without meaning to imply that the French government may not have military projects is peel* ; but I am persuaded that this particular sop potion rests upon mere surmise. At the Bourse today there has been my salmi durable fluctuation, owing to the facility with which Ithe settlement was effected yesterday, and the unti -1 really low rate of reports. The Rent* opened with some animation. It was first quoted (foe account) at 1 71 fr. 200. , and rose to 711 r. 260., which was a rise of 200. on yesterday. Rot ultimately, owing to heavy sales in railways, and a rise in reports, it dropped down to 701 r. 900, closing with a fall of 16c. For sash there was a rise of 20c. Credit Mobilise wee again in great demand at the opening. It was re ported that the moiety had obtained a lease of the Honduras mines, and also as exclusive privilege for the exportation of skins from Russia. The rise, however, to 1,660 fr. was not maintained, and it closed at 1,636 fr., with a fall of 121 r. 60c. Railways were almost all lower. Lyons fell 261 r.; Mediterra nean, Illfr.; and Northern, 10fr. It was annonued that the fusion between the Victor Emmanuel end Noun railways had been signed. Tee Right Reverend Archbishop Cullen, (Galling himself Archbishop of Dublin) in forwsrdiog to the Univers a list of subscriptions for the inundated, amounting to 1,800 fr., has taken the opportunity of adding his name to those of the twelve or fourteen members of the Punch episoopacy who have given in their adhesion to the nltramontene and ultra. intolerant politics of that journal. The Liserenant-Oeverner of Geernsoy ban jut reenitte4 tel• the Prefect of the Seine 10.607 k., sub scribed in the Wands of Guernsey and Sark for the benefit of the sufferers by the inundations. A company of the Anglo Swiss Legion, under the aemtpaad o(a *plain and two limitation% left Pule the morning before lest by railway for Strasburg. They will be disbanded at btruburg, receive 600 k., and seat to their homes via B►la, The detachment was accompanied by a captain in the English army. power of a few Swiu regiments in the Two Siollies and at Rome, as also to that of the Austrians in the Duchies and in Lombardy. He holds up to them tha example set by France and Eogland, and asks them whether • hundred thousand Frenchmen or Englishmen armed for the honour of the country would permit some tenor a dozen thousand Swiss to hold them down. Coincident with the appesrarce of this address in the above-mimed journal, tho last steamer arriving here from CivitaVecchot brings the news that strret rows bad token place at that port between the French soldiers and the artiller, men of the Pope. For two days there had been a continued scene of quarrelling whenever the opposite parties met. The authorities began at length to suspect that Swiss aolniers bad been exciting the French against the Pontificalists; they accordingly arrested and impri. Boned the instigators, whereupon the collisions ceased. The affair has produced no political result, for the French brigade was preparing to evacuate the whole of the Roman States, wtth the exception of Civita Vecchia. This place will still remain in their hand*, as they wirh to hold a port that mutes to them an entrance into Italy whenever they may thick it re quisite. The first body to leave will consist of 600 men taken from picked companies, some being arta ' lea ymen others grenadiers at d voltigenre. The Roman police, we learn by the Kamm ship, is in state of the greatest affright ; thry had heard somewhere that 700 men of the Italian Foreign Le gion, disbanded at Malta, had set sail from the har bour of Valetta, and that all were supplied with arms. The Pope maintains three or four small steamers to prevent smuggling along the coast and up the Tiber. The Papal government has ordered these to watch the motion. of the Mezzinists from Malta. An order from General La Marmora again enjoins the chiefs of corps to grant no furloughs, as the whole of the Sardinian terces must assemble as numerically strong as possible at the camps for going through field marceavres. These camps are at thrre points, which I think I stated to you some time back in a previous letter, viz, Cbambery, Villafranca, near Nice, and San Maurizio, on the Ticino. As matters look at present war seems inevitable next spring. Mimi& shows an inclination to sell by auction the property of the emigrants after the Slat of December next, and Piedmont deo. not mean to brook this violation of the Milan treaty of peace, which recognises the Lombard emigrants as the sub. jests of his Majesty Victor Emanuel. A strong conviction prevails at Nice that as soon as the coronation is over at Moscow the Empress Dowager will leave for that watering-place, where she will spend the winter. M. MANIN AND THE HUNDRED GUN bUBSCRIPTION. TO TEI EDITOR OP THE DAILY NEWS. 81*?-0110 of the most influential of Italian I journals, the Gassetta del Pop , ),'J of Turin, his put leeward the excellent proposal of opening a national subscription for the purpose of giving a hundred pins non to the fortress of Alesaandria. These gun. would be for rise against Austria in the next war, which we hope is imminent. All Italy, no doubt, will went to take part in this manifestation, the significance of which appears to me to be very great. It will prove to the most lucre. dolma that the Italianr, moved above all and before all else by the spirit of nationality, are unanimous in their desire to free from a shameful foreign domicil,. tion the sacred soil of their native Italy. By this visible symptom of collective national life she will prove that unity of the Italian mind which precedes and prepares her political unity. This manifestation cannot tail to receive a national Impress from the co-operation of non-Piedmontese Italians. Those who inhabit the provinces, and who feel directly or indirectly the yoke of the foreigner, will not fail to send their contingent in money, but they could not without imprudence suffer their names to transpire. The knowledge that vengeance of some kind may be wreaked on their families or on their property by I governments both cruel and perfidious, may perhaps deter a few of the emigrauts. But there will be enough remaining for whom such considerations will be powerless to restrain the impulse of their patriotic devotion. This is why I think that in every city or town, where a tolerable number of Italian emigrants may be residing, it would be desirable if some place could be indicated for receiving subvcriptions to this great national manifestation. Contributions also might be received there from such foreigners as may wish to give by their signatures this most precious testimonial of their sympathy. With the consent of the director of the Gazzetta del Popolo I take the initiative for Paris. At my residence, No. 70, Rue Blanche, Italian emigrants' will find special sheets for registering their subscrip • tions, and a separate register will be kept for foreigners. I hope to are this example followed in other towns. The office of the Daily News has already opened for the English a subscription at London. Italy will hold the act in gratefulvemembrance. To remove all doubt and all inaccurate rumors that may be set afloat by our enemies, it will be es well to explain c early the object and significancy of the subscription. It is not a demonstration of party, it is not an act !enproviug the policy of this or that government; it is purely and simply a national manifestation. Whc , ever has at heart . , that Italy should to freed from foreign dominion, can and ought to subscribe, however different hie opinions may be on the other points of the Italian gni* lion. In a word, the subscriptions of the Italians means: "We wish Austria to retire;" and those of foreigners "We identity ourselves with this wish." It means nothing more and nothing less. The money part of the transaction is quit* secondary. What is of the highest importance is, not that the sums su'aseribed should be large, but that the subscribtre should be Lumeroua. A men may subscriba if he will for 50 centimes, and I don't think he ought to go beyond 5 francs. I venture to depend, sir, upon your goodness foe the insertion of this letter in your estimable journal, and thanking you in anticipation I beg to convey to you, sir, the expression of my distinguished esteem.
