Men m►y safely indulge in triumphal celebrations of achieved success—no power can alter tho character of the perm. Bat too confi dent en expression of anticipated success would almost sprier to cell doss creme's see punishment, T o hese of Sir CHARLES Narata's campaign in the Baltic wee • Awry wool to the banquet at the Re form Club. It is owing, perhaps, to this prepossession that we con never think of the gorgeous meant' %%boat to be enacted at Moscow without fancying we see a malignant demon lurking behind them, and gloating over the prospect of the trials and erJralatioas which see to ensue for than who are the chief actors in them. The meet prosaic view that c►n be taken of the position aid vrc:pects of Russia suggests a similar train of rift,ction. The finances of Russia have ex perienc-d • n.de shock hoes the late war. The treasury of tle Stott has been divined; there are Racy outstanding bills that have still to be paid; there are extensive dilapidation to be repaired. No doubt the m►terial resources of Russia, and her numerous popelat;on, will soon be able to restore prosperity, if icilostrial enterprise is left undisturbed by foreign wars or intestine commotions. But the enormous expenditere that is about to be insured at Moscow comports ill with the present condition of ' the country. The outlay of the Government alone will be enot mon, bet that will be the least important item. From every quarter of the colossal empire vassal princes and nobles are rushing to the capital to vie with each other in extravagant splendour. Even biter. the war the greater number of the Ras sin nobility were deeply indebted to the Imperial Loan Bonk. The interruption of trade daring the war tas materially augmented their liabilities. Their preparations to make what they deem an ap pearaoce be fittiog their rank at the coronation will completely beggar not a few of then Thies, then, are not unlikely to be the results of the magnificent dis- play, for neonate of which all Europe and America ars now listening with sharpened ears. The impo verished Government will be unable to keep astral, hand of coercive power on its subjects. The ies poveriehed nobility will be obliged to have remorse to all manner of shifts and devices to rain the wind. One of the most obvious is their ability to squeeze their serfs. Among the mer mini!e claws in Russia are many serfs who have accumulated Iprge fortunes, who mix on a footing of perfect equality with their free associates, bet who have never been able to prevail upon their lords to emancipate them. Freedom has been denied to them more from a sense of gratified vanity on the part of their owners, at being known as the proprietors of wealthy men, than from any deliberate view to oppression and extortion. They have almost universally been leniently dealt with, sad will continue to be so as lug us their 'masters are in prosperous circumstances. But when poverty invades the hall of the nobles, what is to be expected frees men who have never learned to deny themselves one gratification P The poor nobles will week to re plesish thei- parses from the better filled pares@ of ' their serfs; these serfs will beer them a grudge, in which the whole ekes to which they belong—freemen and bondsmen—will participate. The war of elaseas will begin precisely at the moment when a beggared Government is unable to organise the means of re preesion. We speak not of these things as estiaintias, but as powibititise—we might say probabilities. Internal convulsions in Ramie—lb, social chaos out of which new instittnioas are to emerge--may take their date from the joyous and gorgeous pageant of the Corona tion, Nor is Russia the only country upon which Osseo festivities scowl a petrifying Medusa-like gloms, under all their beauty. The lavish expenditure of the French Embassy is the topic of the day at Bt. Petersburg and Moecow. From what funds is it to to defrayed ? A prominent feature of the Imperial policy of Frames hes bees to duels men with lavish dispky. Costly strop. tares have been erected, not in the capital alone, bat in every considerable town of Frame. The customary =spill/ince of the Court *a imed, that of any other in Europe. Every mouse has beta seised upon foe making one dealing fate treed aloes on the heels of another. When the Queen of ENGLAND visited Paris there was an affectatios of cottly gallantry that reminded on of Oriental tales. The Court of France has been living far beyond its means. The State expendi ture has been equally lavish. The policy of baying the support of the working slime by finding remunerative employment for them has been carried to an extremes When a moostary crisis threatened France lest year these 116111 rumours of ezteneive sales ot the heads at the emseeenes, end of the minuet of the premeds into the Imperial Treasury. Now, men supposed to have glimpses behind the woes shake their heads whin the lands of the Savings Banks are spoken of. The amount of the postponed indite endow to lamas% and no explanation regarding them is caered by the Government. A sense of messy appeeheastoo pervades France with regard to the erudition of the public finances. It is the last drop that makes the cap rut over--the lest feather weight that breske the back of the overloaded cannel. The Court extravagance of the early years of Loots XVL eempleted the revolutionary work of the bed husbandry of Loots XIV. and the Regasay. The display of Count Di SWINT at Moscow may do the some bad service for the new dynasty. It is with plosion then that we hear that the mon modest state of the British Embassy, as essitrasted with that of the French, has afforded a theme of comment for the gossips of St. Petersburg.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (PEON 01/1 OWN C01111TONDINT.) PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The liberal press of Paris is at this moment in great trouble in rumarqesnee of its having published the *dims of 200 stillest' of Paris, sympathising with their fellow students of Turin in their aspira tions far the melioration of Italy. It is understood that prosecutions have been commenced against the Siecie, the Prme, aad the Batedle. Great efforts have been wade to disarm the wrath of the authoeitiee, bat Ido not know with what success. The prostrate state in which the independent journals are is to a cer tain extent a protection to them. "He that is down 0111 fall no lower." The Pres*a has already two warn ings—the utmost number provided for by law—soored up against it, and I behove the &eels is in the same plight. Bespensios and suppression are violent mea sures which the government, for its own sake, would be loth to resort to is those quiet times. The late Prooureur Imperial, M. Bodied, was praised for his abstinence from ex-olleio prosecutions spinet the press—a proceeding which it was in his power to have resorted to ecnennently with, and quite inde pendently of, the " warnings" which emanate from another branch of the administration. His sue owe, 12. Velem, would hardly like to make ki s shut by reviving an obnoxious pro reeding which the former Proausur-Imperial had pined credit for having dispensed with. The dims of the abommentioned 'cereals have been _ _ _ _ _ _ weighed by the *km and I anieretand the editors have been told that the government does not vesh to prostrate them for pablishing the address, peel. ding they as prove that the publication was bona 61e, bat that to this end It desires to see the ceiginal Wiese with the signatures. Now this dormant is wry naturally not forthcomieg, the journals in goer. tin thinking It a point of honour not to give up the names of the students for inesetica in a black Wok. Bet then, say the sathoeitirs, we dm% believe in the existence of the 200 signatume the government as afford to be Indulgent et to the pabUcation of a dieagresalge feet, but it is inclined to homy severe in ewe yen, the icernals, have miser palmated the state of feeling In the schools.

At one of their lut meet ing", it was proposed to chows a new leader of the liberal party, in place of Espalier*. A celebrated diplomatist modestly offered himself, but was not ac cepted. The meeting decided that secret gaieties should be created all over Spain, and that a new re volution should be provoked. The Meuager is the organ of Narvaer, and its statements must be received with suspicion. It is oertain the Emperor would not allow the sort of thing here discovered to be going on under his nose. ITALY. Another prosecution of members of a secret society is at this moment going on at Dijon. The Tribunal of Correotional Police yesterday fined M. Combes, a writer in the Journal du Notariat, 6001 r. for having, in an article in the number of the 26th July last, libelled the judges of the inferior tri bunals by representing that they were jealous of the influence of notaries and others, and employed undue mean, to diminish it; and M. Esearaxagr3, dit. ,tor of the journal, was fined the like sum for having pub. tithed the article. The Bourse opened to-day with a slight rise urn almost all neuritis', but the movement was attri butable principally to purchases made to realise profits after the long continued tall. The Rents for account opined at 70fr. 60r., fell afterwards to 70fr. 400., and recovered for the close to 70fr. 65c., being a rise of 60. upon yesterday. For cash, the last price was the same as yesterday, 70fr. 400. Credit Mobilier was in considerable dr • mend, it being said that the company bad a new and important affair in band. The shares rtes 22fr. 50e. The railway market opened very well, but there was a reaction in the middle of the day, which was only partially recovered from. The closing quotations only differ either way by from 3fr. to Err. from those of yesterday. Mediterranean fell 6fr., and Lyons rose 2fr. 600. The Austrian lines were in favour, in consequence of the news of the ratification, and rose 10tr. An accident occurred on the Northern Railway yesterday morning. The mail train from Calais, due at 9 a.m., was, from some cause or other, considerably behind its time, and when near the Creil jancticn, it ran into a luggage train. Fortunately the p-esenge: escaped with but little injury. Only one required medical attendance on arriving at Parts, and he was not seriously hurt. The driver was a good deal in jured. In consequence of this accident the London letters were not delivered till late in the afternoon. We read in the Ocean, of Brest, of the 25th : A letter from Postural, of August 19, says:—. Yes terday evening, about alas o'clock, the weather being very fogey, the English three-mut Olor.oss, 800 too., bound from London to Celestes, and having on toted a crew of thirty-sin men, and a chaplain, ran ashore near Monnerousse point in Kerionan, whither it had boon drifted by the currents which prevail In the neigh bourhood of , the rocks which surround the petticoats. B3ing favoured by calm weather, the ship was got off with the neat MOTllielee tide. But she had acaroely got out of her dangerous position when she struck upon one of the many rocks which render shipwrecks so frequent on this east. By a providential chance she again got dint sad gained the open sea, but in tormquence of the damage sereined by the two shocks, ahe decided to return to England." The tribunal of the first instance has this evening pronounced judgment in the great Pesestare case. Tao marriage with Madame Weber is declared nu , l and void, as having been celebrated clandestinely, contrary to the laws of France. Madame Weber is condemned in costs. PIEDMONT. CIIOX OUR SPECIAL CORR] SPAIN• MADRID,Atronsr 26 The Spanish Minister at Mexico has been ramond from his post. General Bassole has been named Grand Cron of the Order of Charles 111. The Madrid journals of the 23rd have arrived. The Epsom says that the Gazette is about to publish decrees for the diasolution of the Cortes, fora regale. Lion of the press, and for the establishment of the Council of State, promulgating the constitution of 184 E. The Clamor Public° and the Parlansealo state that the condition to; which the press has been reduced prevents them from making soy comment on the decree for the dissolution of the National Guard ; the Diana expresses approbation of the measure. The Gaulle contains decrees dismissing sixteen civil governors of provisoes, and appointing their successors; the latter are selected half from the pro. pessist sad half from the mcderado parties. The marriage presents to the Infanta Dona Amelia amounted to more than 4,000,000 reds. The mar riage contract between her royal highness and Prime Adalbert had been signed at the palace with great pomp. M. Bravo Mrs►;ilo, M. Gonzales Romero, and M. Beltran de Lis, ex-rniu;stsre, were about to return to Spain. At Barcelona 187 persons condemned by one martial had been embarked for Cuba and other colo nies. The captain-general of Catalonia had decreed the diesolation of all associations of workmen and masters in the prosinoe. (nom • So long u O'Donnell could manage to keep terms with the moderate section of the Pro. grcssists, the principal questions of the day remained undecided, and the military commission charged to inquire into the circuinstinces of the conflict at Madrid was instructed not to arrive at any definite result. Moreover, a thing which would be strange is any country, bet is very strange in Spain, Senor Medea's leader of the insurgents, who came spontaneously to boast of the part which he took in the revolt, was allowed to withdraw and to enjoy his liberty. But the Progressists not having been willing to support O'Donnell, on the conditions which the cabinet offered, O'Donnell her thrown himself into the arms of the reactionary party and repressive measures are to be commenced. The commandants of the civic guard have bun curved with a summons, amongst whom are Bacceura, Ma. doz. Asmara% and Mathieu. The parsons whose influence hes effeced the suppression of the National Guard believe that they shall certainly draw O'Donnell into a re actionary coarse upon every question g and as for the disamortisatioa, they feel so sure of being able to make him suspend it, that instructions to that effect have already been sent into the provinces. The Syndicate at Bilbao has just exposed this design beforehand, by protesting against the sale of a gar den belonging to the sisterhosd of the Conception. The government immediately discharged the judge by wham the protest was received. As foretold by the literal journals, the general disarmament of the rural militia ham encouraged the Oarlieta; end the direeting juntas of Perpignan and Bayonne have already sent emissaries to or. genies a movement in Catalonia and the &Noe prevision. An underhand agitation has been going en for VMS time at Barcelona and the great menu fecteriag towns; the workmen :who are socialists, or affiliated to the religious societies, irritated by the stoppage of work and by the active propaganda of the Yeatsaioliniet clergy, show a dangerous dieposi ties. The state of things is in other respects very serious, as incendieriam cents daily, and the taxes must be allotted. TURIN, Avocet 24. The reference which you make in a leading article in your paper of the 18th, to Austria's strengthening her armaments and extending her forces upon the Italian soil, is a question which not only concerns Piedmont and the other States of the Italian I'enin. sulk but one which should interest all Europe. Let us not forget that the allies landed in the Crimea totally ignorant of the formidable fortresses in Sebas topol, and, if possible, more ignorant of its almost inex haustible naval and military stores. But while England France, Sardinia, and Turkey were doing their utmost for the destruction of the Sebastopol of the Crimes, which commanded the Black See, Austria, with a cunning and deceit peculiarly her own, while amusing the belligerent powers with her eternal protocols and sham proposals for peace, was se. cretly and zealously erecting nearer our homes a still more formidable fortress and immense naval acd military arsenal to command the Adriatic sea. With the exception of Gibralter there is not a more int. ' pregnable fortress in Europe than Pols, not only from its commanding position, but from the art and science with which it has becn constructed. Austria during the lest three years has spent more than IS millions of francs, and besides the impregnable for trams at Pola, hes constructed three docks, where she is now building and equipping men of war. She has enlisted into her naval service officers of every nation, but principally Prussians, Swedes, and Nor wegians. All along her side of the Adriatic are fishermen engaged in the Tun fish fishery, and as soon es the Sons of these fishermen attain the age of fifteen they are drafted into the Austrian marine, and in a few years will become first-rate seamen. I have tried in every direction to get a detailed plan of the fortifications and docks of Pole, but the Austrians have been so wary that as yet I have been unsuccessful, but before long I hope to make such information public, so that our British merchants may see that their commerce with the Golf of Venice, at the bottom of which is Trieste, and also that bay in which is situated the thriving and commercial town of Fiume, are entirely at the mercy of the . Austrians . . . _ I refer your readers to the last published map of the Adriatic Sea, or to .‘ Bradshaw'm Conti oental Railway Guide," in which are the elee trio telegraph stations, where they will see that the fortress of Pols is not only in cow:minim. tion with Vienna, but with all the other fortresses which Austria has coLatructed for the subjugation of Italy. Po:a is situated upon the point of land or pro montory which stretches along the coast. and is 22 leagues S S.E. of Trieste, and is nearly opposite that part of the Roman States in which is the town of Bologna. Pole formerly possessed about 2,000 inhabitant', and from its poeition commands not only the entrance into the Galph of Venice, but also that large bay in which Venice is placed. The water to the very shores is so deep that vessels of large burden can approach in safety, and the bay is sheltered from every wind that blows, and so exten sive as to harbour an immense fleet. All the neighbour. iog hills are crowned with immense batteries, having guns of the heaviest calibre; and the numerous islet. are turned into forte—so that there is not perhaps in all Europe a more formidable fortress and arsenal than Pole.. To do the Austrians justice, they have carried on the oanstruotion of Pola with as much energy as the All:es showed in attempting the dc. "traction of Sebastopol. They have transferred all the military and naval stores of the arsenal at Venice to their new fortress. I mentioned that they have already expended 18 millions here, and still we daily hear of the disastrous state of the Austrian finances: I showed in my letter of the 16:11 how uselessly they had expended a large sum in equipping a war fleet and fortresses on Lago Maggiore, but the latter wee against Piedmont in particular, while Pole is against all Europe. The subkets of Austria Proper do not suffer from this extravagance of their government; but it is hard indeed that the Italians should he obliged to give their own money to be used in forging the chains for their own slavery. In my letter of the 22nd of July I informed you that the Austrians had doubled the home tax in Lombardy, and the only answer given by the Austrian official, to those who complained that they had been too highly taxed was to order them to point out some of their neigh. boors who were not so highly taxed as themselves, and then they would see that the Austrian govern ment was impartial. But these numerous W. tresses have coat so much money that even with this double taxing there is not enough. Baron de Bach is at present in Milan, but it is doubt ful if he be the adviser of the most atrocious deed which is about to be committed byAttetria—.deed not only contrary to justice, but contrary even to Austrian law, and to all international law ; but this act of barefaced robbery the Austrian, have delayed till Pula wes in a state of defence, till Filipinas wee completely fortified, and every fortress along the Pied montese frontier fi lled with troops and stores. After the unfortunate occurrece of 1848.49 Austria allowed many rich inhabitants of Lombirdy to take advantage of her own emigration laws, and then proprietors emigrated to Piedmont, still remaining proprietor, in Lombardy, while they became natu rallied Sardiolan subjects, many of them becoming members of the House of Parliament. This continued till the 6th of Fenner?, 1853, when the Mezzinian outbreak occurred at Milan. Might had now become right, and the Austrians being in want of money, or eager for revenge, issued an order teat all those Sardinian subjects who had property in Lombardy, it they did not return to Lombardy and throw them• selves upon the mercy of Austria (i.e. imprisonment in Mantua dungeons) at the end of 1856, their pre perties would be sold for the benefit of the govern. ment. This the Austrians did under the pretext that the outbreak at Milan was organised by the proprietors of Lombardy who had become naturalised Sardinian subject.. But the Austrians knew as well as all the world that no men are so decided against the Mazzinian insurrections as those mamboed Sardinian subjects but Austria required money, it not to be got by fair means by mil. In plain common language, the Austrian government broke the laws made and acted upon by themselves; they have taken possession of property not their own, and they are about to sell that stolen property for the purpose of putting the proceeds of such robberies into their own pockets. I am quite aware that inch conduct may appear in credible to men of common honour and honesty, un luckily qualities not known by Austria when she has any particular point to gain. What I have here stated is, however, a fact, and the Austrian gc vernment, within these few days, have given orders to the Sequestration Commiecion at Milan to complete the inventories and valuations of the properties of the hnigres from Lombardy, which, when completed, are to be sold by public auction. I - is only to be holed that purchasers may see the danger sad ini quit of such sales, and that none may come for ward. If these decrees of the Austrians at Milan are doubted, the fact can be corroborated by letters now in Turin in the possession of certain emigres (I do not name them), who have received intimations from their agents in Lombardy that they have been ordered to mike out bills of sale of their properties;: so there is no doubt that in this the Austrian govern anent is about to sot as swindlers and robbers, though, if the statements contained in the letter of General Garibaldi, dated Genoa, August 6, 1836, be correct, they bare been guilty of worse crime,. Can it be expected that these naturalised subjects of Sardinia will remain quiet to be so robbed or plundered, and contrary to every law supposed valid by civilised nations P If Sardinia remains quiet under ouch in justice and insult, she deeerves to lose the support sod respect not only of her own subjects, but indeed of all Europe; but she ought rather, in the words of Prince Metternich, " It is better to die with arms in our hand, than of slow poison." Piedmont, however, has the power to make re prised', and assuredly she is in all justice bound and entitled to sell Austrian property in her dominions to repay her swindled and robbed subjects. Lord Palmerston, to be ceesistent. and in spite of himself, must, under such circumstances, support Piedmont, for no one can ever forget what • row he made , I and the great force he sent to Greece, to make that excessive io cost.
