MIL LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST S. of the wee Powers eharpd I with the reorganisation of the Principalities are mow amembling at Bucharest, much in the character of i ingenious political architects, who attempt to raise a superstructure before they bare laid a hags. The Austrian and ROWS° Governments appear to hays I hit upon a most happy scheme, directly calculated to 1 nullify the labours of the Commissioners, and totally to checkmate the Treaty of Paris. Under a guise of i the most vital distrust, they seem to have entered into an arrangement marked by the most friendly I confidence. The institution of a Liberal Government in Moldavia and Wallachia would be directly ants. ganistic, not only to their most cherished territorial ) arrogatioas oa the Danube, but to tbsir fanatical ..mush. spinet Ironical as the cad= of their I my. _lb, Comaiasioasea—ar the &a more U. beral Governments whom the Ave more liberal Commissioners represent—row shallow the Courts of Vienna and Bt. Petersburg to give *Beet to their preemies of evacuation. The Austrian Government appears to reply that so long se, In direct violation of the Treaty of Paris, the Roesians postpone the ces sion of Southern Bessarabia they must prolong the occupation of the Principalities. The Western Powers then teen to Bt. Petersburg; sad they there appear to be told that so long se, in direct vialatioa of the Treaty of Paris, the Austrians postpone the evacuation of the Principalities they meet defer the cession of Beam/obi& There is something ludicrous in this reciprocity of aimed= whisk reminds am of oar resultleas siege of Antwerp in 1809, is which the martial ardour of the General was said to have been held in check by the delay of the Admiral, and the impatient volumene, of the Admiral to have been neutralised by the ansecoant able procrastination of the General. The practical result, at any rate, is that the Austrian sad Rn•sien commandets, entertaining so doubt the most diabolical suspicions of each ether, rale in placid traequillity on either side of the Prath ; and the in ternatiocal oemmissiee. like a weeks of Fatima MAHONEVID 0015/1. le sespended in the air, midway between Bucharest and the deeds of hawse. The blunder thus committed by the negotiators at Paris, in failiag to tlx peremptorily a period beyond which the military orcupatiou should sot be man tained, is but the analogue of the Mesa bleeder which introduced into the Principalities the ferns of Austria. It is obvious, from many amenneat on 'identical, that se attempt to ham as organise- tics for Moldavia acd Wallachia daring the presence of the Austrian army, sad for the ceded territory of Bessarabia daring the presence of the Itauslas, void be altogether abortive. The Oseassimioners— awarding, at heat. to the theory of the IVeaty of Pease—do sot proceed to the Wallaskisa capital with their owe pressaceind views of goverament. The SULTAN undertakes„ by the terms of the 24th Article, to wanks a Liven in either Principality, with the most liberal and oomprebesain comitation ; sad the Comminsionen an charged with the fwmaticm of a Wanes of polity la easessanos with the (pinkies =praised by these Divans. Nothing, therefore, sae be snare sortie than that their popular orgsaisation, whisk is =pearly sat forth us the groundwork of the whole policy of the Commimion„woild be totally defeated by the netnews of an Austrian military einpation. While the Comssissioners it at Boobs- rest seder military safeness of the meet despotic monarchy in Europe, no will of thin can stead for law. Those who are acquainted with the policy pi nned by Austria wherever her standard is planted, know fall well the maser ia which she will tamper with the representation which it is sought to obtain through the instrumentality of the Divans. The same observations apply to the sesepation of the ended district of Bessarabia by the Raines. sad it is cer tain that any npressetatios obtained during the dominate of either army will only snore the ascendancy of that odious mad impactions oligarchy which the Treaty of Paris had undertakes te depress sad Amboy. Men then four months have already elapsed inn the conclusion of pesos; and the period spleen to lave bean marked by a °impeding ninon on the part both of the Antrim sad the Western Go versants. No attempt, or at least so sesesnfal endeavour, appears to have brio made, either by Lord CLARTIADON or by M. Di WALEWAY4 to dissipate the frivolous sophistry on which Austria and Rusk attempt to justify their infraction of their own terms. It is true that the Coransiseichers of the Western Powers set oat for the theatre of their labours a 000• siderable period ago. But a diplomatist charged with extraordinary duties each se these, appears to los a political valetadinasias. who is unequal to the Herculean labours of his position until he has en mused a period snakiest for ordisszy mortals to mgotiate the fete of the world in physical mews. too at the West Herman bathe.

There he invariably stops short, and after an ineesdible interval, whet the whole freshness of hie story is gene, be emerges like a giant refreshed, somewhat in sbv fashion of our ierposiog navel array which con gregated at Petropaulovski after the Russians had roiled! Aid if it be said, on the one hand, that the' intentional proentatinatica of Austria and Rank has rendered unimportant this corresponding delay, it may with undoubted certainty be averred on the other that it has offered a plausible pretext for that procrastination by these Goverment& The two *ordinal aim' which, se we apprehend, the Cornstalks is, required to hold in view, are the institution of a Government on principles of liberalism sad antagoniatis to the polititel morose& meats of Austria and Rees* and as a tromnisrelel basis salaamed to promote the material developmest of the Principalities.We are ourselves altaptherisdif farent whether the union of the two States be emolved on, or whether their diej volition be permanently main- Lined. There is enough of social conformity in the anneers and interests of either to mars their moral cohesion under any phials of their etivi/ polity. The main object to which we tram that the attention of the Commission win be eventually directed is the social and political exaltation of the inferior claws,, for the triple reason of abstract jostle*, of natiosal development, and of an mildew of Austria.

THB EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 8, 1856. LONDON AFTER THE BEASON. THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. While the Mends of the Londonr who le obliged to stay at home, much to his discontent sometimes, are making themselves acquainted with the natural history of some one country miles away from the capital of Cockaigne, our ill-conditioned cockney is apt to forget that he has an opportunity of becoming mach better versed in the zoology of any country in the world than the majority of travellers. He has moddes to do but to betake himself to an exhibition is the north-west corner of the 'metropolis. and he will see a greater variety of animal life than he could expect to see by travelling in the very districts from which the specimens exposed to his view have been transported. And the beauty of his visit is that it is unaccompanied by any of those sudden heartqukes which would be the effect of meeting the magnificent monsters of the Zoological Gardens in their native homes. The majestic lions of these Gardens, who seem placed in their dens for the sole purpose of delighting the spa tator with the symmetry of their forms and the gran deur of their po es, who appear sleepy, used up, like jaded roues, would arouse other feelings than admira tion if they were visited "at home " in the desert on the look out for a dinner. There are few persons who, like Gordon Cumming or Jules Gerard, eon pen.l mats their studies in natural history amidst as assembly of wild beasts longing to make a meal of them. In the Zoological Gardens the asset timid student of natural history is able to pursue his investigations in peace. He may count the teeth of the lion, or the stripes of the tiger, or the spots of the leopard, with the meet perfect tranquillity. It is se if a general deputation, consisting of representatives of all the races food of feeding upon human flesh or damaging the homan body, had assembled in magnificent apartments, and bound themselves by heavy securities to submit quietly and peaceably to the strictest arose-exami nation. This is one of the great uses of the Zoological Gar dens and similar collection& They enable us, by allowing us to make observations in detail, to acquire a knowledge of the animals presented to our inspeo non, which would have been almost impossible under other circumstances. Nay more, when there are several specimens of a spoke, we may acquire • knowledge of even individual (Waster. The keepers of the Boca sod tigers, and even visitors who attend constantly, are able to trace, not only difference of ex pression, but differences of character, in the animals. Shepherds, we know, can distinctly perceive differ emcee of feature and disposition in the members of their flock. We get, as it were, biographical notices of the individuals of the spooks, and are thus en abled to proceed with increased knowledge to the study of the genera. Viewed in this light the &sleeted Gardens sated to the humble English IMAM of MEd Wag tasilities which he would oat have Mad bad be um a citizen of ancient Rome itself, where, as thi yeller Shaw tells as, as many lions were Woo* to be killed in one year es are now to be Imo& is lb, whole of Africa. But they were brought Moo to bs killed, and for nothing else. When five thanes& wild beasts were exposed to public view to slaughter and be slaughtered (not one of whom escaped) is the Colosseum at its opening, • mere sanguinary impale, was satisfied. Who thought of the meaning of these works of God's hands offered up to satiate a greedy appetite for blood ? Them scenes ads the !Mow worse than they found them. They had benne, says Milten,capable of all other vices: Then wed by their sports, to Wood lamed Of fistulas beasts, sad moos hi beams owed Gibbon never made a greater mistake than when he segginted that the shows of beasts to be swilled in Rome were possibly of use to the scientific study of natural history. While the populace, " says, " gazed with stupid weeder on the splen did show, the naturalist might, indeed, observe the figures and properties of No many digerati species transported from every part of the ancient world into the amphi• thistle of Rome.* The naturalist might indeed, bat be did sot t and the five thonsaad besets offered up by Titer, the ten thousand by Trojan at the conclusion of the Dorian war, the bears, elks, zebras, ostriches, bears, wild horses bronchi together by the yeeepr (Mediae, the almost daily holocausts of animals tot tered and killed for the amusement of a blood-thirsty populace, died and left no sign in the books of science. The use of wild animals to the ancient Roman was only exhibited in the manner of their deaths to the modern Englishman this we is dis played in the food which they afford him for thought and reflection. The visitor to the Zoological Oardeas is met by an announcement on his entrance that the pelicans are fed at one hour, the otters at another, and the Horns at • third. He has therefore an opportunity of seeing bird, fish, and beast exercise their gastreamnical pro- penalties after their peculiar fashion. We feel bound to observe that we have but slight curiosity to wit ness these exhibitions. We make an exception with respect to the otter. The preternatural vitality . which he displays in both elements, water and a i r, the marvel loes speed with which he cleaves through the one and leaps through the other, the graceful plops that he makes, the delighted gambols in which he iodalges, are suggestive of depths of Epicure's sea moss enjoyment which are almost bewildering. Foe the moment we feel. a strong inclination to become an otter, bat we leek ourselves epos the election that otters are hunted I and bootleg, we know, is a pleasure in which one only of the parties oaosrsed participates. We care very little tor the privilege of being invited to the pelicans' meal. They are ungainly creatures, and have stopped in their progress in the art of wigs at mere gobbling. We are satosished that beaks med so coastantly and delicately for the delousing the instil white feathers of them • , should be y each disgusting gormandise. As C it t l h a e s toro, we would rather not see them at at all. They sad their friends the tigers awaken ugly mow tions, as they are 'eau licking the bleeding flesh and polishing off the bones before they crunch them. We are very . food of the carnivore terrace when the mamas are in repose, bat we "West to see them when sating. We would as seen wham the performances of a court of traditional abloom. after being turned out like so many Nebosbodarsuars to feed for a few years, not certainly to lbe postings which was pro vided for that Oriental but on raw turtle. We are content with the me bier's manner of Med i lug. He hie a little straggle for his meal, and the energy with which he pleases into the told water to l oins his dainty more& is 'soothing quite refreshing in the dog days. Tedder of refreshment, let the way-worn tovetler, fainting with the heat, go to the seals and envy them. The Polar bear is the oily bear that we oars much about looking at. His brethren in the adjoiaing sell are very ugly, very greedy, mad very stupid. The pretinamty with which they climb op the pole every day to get nothing is worthy of an unfortunate client in a Chasooy snit. The hippopotamus is a much more in parsonage. We admire him the more for the ph icel coolness with white he treats his lass of popularity. He tumbles Issily and contentedly about In his pool, and does not ears twopence for the abstain of the crowds who used ogee to assemble round his dwelling, grateful for a mere glues. It is a pleasant sight to am the giraffe craning over the Tailless which separate him from the hippopotamus, and looking, as in wonderment, upon the strange amusements and the curious igen of the beast before him. The contrast is complete. The elephant, the rhinoceros, Its antelope, sod other beasts will afford matter far Niel:tics to those who are phased with Woutra;;iii animal nature. The serpent room is a curious ob ject of study. There they lie in their large glair cape as vast and es beautiful as if they were incapable of squerxiog the life out of an ex, or spit ting deadly poen into the veins of a mos. Look at ose of those pythons who has disposed of himself in the most graceful convolutions, tied himself up in the most artful of knots, as if he wished to attrset attention for his beauty and inpsuity. Thsok your stars you are separated from him by the thick plats glass. He would poem your bones—as he does those of a tiger whet he is at liberty in his active lead—to powder. Look with becomes awe upon that large p9ftadder. He hes the power of an stay of Palmer, of Roseley ander his teeth. There is a 'Woe' look shoat his eye mrtainly, bet there is a contented lasy appeansee about ' hie notions which might almst persuade us that he has been maligned. Nevertheless he would ;be worth clarets& of strychnine to persons desirous of getting rid of troublesome relations or friends. Ass you leave the reptile-room, be grateful that you need not fear finding ate of these interesting creatures la your bed when you get home, as might be the case were you in regions nearer the Equator. The mookerroom will dispel any little nervousness you may have acquired in going through the dwellings of the animals whose attacks are dangerous to human life. The imperturbable goad humour, the love of amusement, the exuberant life displayed by the monkeys is aweigh to e rive away the blue devils from the most saturnine philosopher. By-the bye, they are not all lively. Some of them occasionally put on looks of gravity which are more ludicrous than their most extrava gant entice. There wee one old gentleman,—we have, alas! to moors for his death—who was the sub ject of our especial admiration on account of hie air of profound seriousosas. Hie cheeks were ribbed and of • beautiful blue colour. His appellation—we regret it was not more dignified—was the Ribbed nose Baboon. He would sit by the hour and look at you with a solemnity which was perfectly overwhelm ing. He must have been the Lord Chancellor or the Prime Minister of his race. It is not our intention to go through the wondasof the Zoological Gardens now. We only wished to jog the memories of forgetful readers, and remind them that they have within reach a won , derful museum which they would do well to visit. Let them not neglect when they are there to look well at the aquarium, and the beautiful animals and zoophytes it contains. The gardens themselves are beautiful enough without any other attraction to en tice spectators. Apparently the attractions are not ' displayed in vain. The number of visitors on Mon ' day, the cheap day, varies from six to eight thousand. Mon -1 On other days the number ranges from five to eight hundred. On Saturday, during the season, when , there is a concert, the number is about two thousand. fully until the two Principalities parses a strong popular organisation. It is in kits manner owing to the eclipse of the popular party, that we have been Do long sabdued by the illusion that the Berri= dominion stood uppermost in the Molds• Wallachian mind. Under the constitutions by which those States have long been governed, a spirit of rapacious domination in the higher chases has pre veiled ; and this interest, deriving its mainspring from the support of Russia, has been affected to the Reagan rule in proportion u the instincts of the mass of the population involuntarily recoiled from its tyrennom oppremiom In a commercial point of view, the Principalities possess this enormous advantage over every other State which trades upon the Danube, that their terri tory lies immediately at its month; while the accession of the ceded territory to the Moldavian soil will add to that advantage an interest in the seaboard et the Ermine. If it will repay the Austrian unglie to transmit her exports to the Black Bea through the thousand gyrations of that interminable river, how much more remunerative will be the com merce of the Euxine to the two Principalities, with other facilities at least equal in proportion? Above all, be it remembered that the results of the war have yet to be determined ; and that their magnitude largely rests in the political future of these States, which must conform to the character of their organi sation. And if the splendid opportunity which now presents itself be seised, we shall have dove much in lands that have bowed beneath a tradition ary oppression to promote the can., of progress, and to illustrate the name of England. THIL arrangements for the dinner to be given to the Guards, Co their return from the Crimes, by the in habitants of London, are now in a most satisfac tory state of progress. The list of the Committee of Management speaks for itself. We may add that the entertainment he. the entire sanotion and sp. proval of the military autboritice. We are disposed to lay gent stress upon this : for while we have ever advocated the claims of the private soldier to a larger share is the honours of the profession, and extended prospects of promotion, we are well aware that the efficiency of our army demands a stern and what may eves appear to civilians a pedantic striat um of dissipline We would therefor* shrink from say fratieniestions between private soldiers and the general public disapproved of by their officers. Here, however, there is no ground for misgiving. From the beginning the utmost owe has bees takes is explain the objects of the denweeta. don to those in command, and their cordial sp• proval has been given to it. The subscription lists were opened in the beginning of the week, and are rapidly filling up. Three which we have chewed tow contain many borrowed names, both civil and military, with liberal donations apponded to them. We doubt not that even in this, the " or " after' seams, the hospitality of Leedom to its permanent garrison will be worthy of England's metropolis. It is inapstflools to add that all delays are inadvisable, and that in. tending subscribers ought to lose no time in transmitting their donations to the highly respect. able bankers who have undertaken to evasive w, Be it remembered that with the inspiring frothily in coatemplatios is to be combined a more enduring memorial of the event. Any balance remaining after the expenses are defrayed will be devoted to the aid of such public institution consulted with the army se the Committee may select.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. PARIS, THURSDAY IVINING "The Emperor," says the ✓ormai de la " will arrive on Friday evening at Luneville. On the following morning his Majesty will review the troops of that garrison and then leave for Paris, peas , ing through Nancy without stopping.' A Paris letter, in the Courtier &Havre, in speak leg of the title just bestowed on Marshal Pelissier, says The new dale will not, it is said, have any other qualification than that of Duke Pelletier,' and will consequently sign himself ' Marshal Duke Pelle :4W This mode has, besides, its preeedents, for without going farther back, it is well known that Louis XVIII. and Louis Philipp crested dukes per es, is fur lodes°. Duke Pesquier and Doke Decezai." The Paris correspondent of the Belgian liedipeadanes remarks : "The Marseilles journals have been led into an error, is announcing that the Commander-in-Chief of the army of the Crimea was to be entitled Duo de Sebastopol. The Emperor, it lam rightly informed, has expressed himself most unequivocally on that point, and he will not have any titles derived from foreiga territories. Me is still preparing, es I have told you, a series of sisaseres lending to the creation of a military salmi: and it is urged, by =promo tatioas tram a high quarter, that this should be ren dered also a distinction for civilians ; but it is in Algeria that the domains are to be located, on which the titles of this order of nobility will be founded ; and the realisation of that project, whichis not immediately contemp'eted, has no connection with the distinction just now conferred upon the Marshal." A despatch from Bonifacio (Corsica), dated this day, Aug. 7, states that the immersion of the submarine telegraphic cable was successfully commenced at Cagliari this morning, at ten o'clock. I understand that the republican party have re solved to make an effort to return mambas of their own persuasion at the next general election for Paris, The report is cast they will put forward MM. Carnet, Vidal, and Proudhon, the first repre senting the bourgeois republicane, the second the operative classes, and the third the oltra.theorists. What these three gentlemen, in the event of their elections, mean to do about the oath of fidelity to the Emperor, I cannot say. In all probability they would refuse to take the oath, and leave the election to stand as a protest. But I cannot but believe that the &speeds faithful servants will always find means to prevent the ballot boxes from showing forth any seditious reveille. The present government and free election are essentially incompatible. Never theless, it will be a hard task next year to keep up the fiction that France is unanimously devoted to the existing institutions. At the Bootee, the Bente was very calm and namely varied 100. throughout the day. It closed at 70fr. 50c. to cash, and 70fr. for account, falling 10e. and lie. Wilt Mobilise rose 10fr. It was remarked that somewhat more business then usual was done in Wilt Fancier, and areport gained ground that this society will be charged with the negotia tion of the loan for executing the drainage bill. Railways were tolerably firm. It was confidently stated that the main difficulties in the way of the lesion between the Lyons and Meditarracean Companies had been got over, aad that the onallieting interests of the administrative (=nails of the two companies had been recoeciled.

SPAIN. The Madrid joaraals of the 2ad have arrived in molar wares, but their contents were anticipated by letter. Marshal Esparta*, before leaving for LOMB% had demanded an audience of the Queen to take leave of I her Majesty. The terms on which Saragossa bad surrendered I were not known, bat the Epees nye that General Dolce bad given passports for France to all who imbed for them. The troops which took part in the insurrection of Saragossa were to be sent into the Basque provinces and Navarre, in order to be rear seamed. General Duke being in ill-health did not intend to retain the command of Saragossa lcmg, but it was not known who would be his successor. The persons arrested on the three preceding dais , bad been set at liberty, exempt M. Merelo and M. Guicuria, who had teen ordered for trial before a court-martial. Manuscript proclamations declaring that it wee not true that Saragossa had surrendered, and that 40,000 men still held out in the city, had been distributed; two of the distributors were ar rested. ----- The Gazette of the 3rd, which has arrived by expects, contains royal decrees appointing Oeneral Macrohon Inspector-General of the Civic Guard, and General! de Gregoria his gnu •nor as Under-fiecre. tary of the War Department. It publishes a despatch from Grenada, which says that the disarming of the National Guard wu going on quietly, and that the greater part of the force gave up their arms with pleasure; and another from Malaga, which says that the disarming had been accomplished, and that tran quillity was perfectly re-established. The Espana implicitly contradicts the rumour of the dissolution of the Cortes, since it announce, that • deputation of that assembly will be invited to attend the marriage of the Infanta Amalie with Prince Aden:en, which is to take place on the 16th instant. The Epoca also says that deputations of theCortes,the grandees, the army, and other great bodies of the state are to be invited. The Journal des Pyrenees Orientates nye :—" The greater number of the Spanish refugees, sub-offioere, sod soldiers lately taken to Perpignan, have requested and obtained from the Spanish government permit sion to return to their homes. They, consequently, before leaving Perpignan, made their submission and took the o►th of fidelity to Queen Isabella 11. before the Spanish consul." The Pays says that the town of Lucena, from which O'Donnell takes his title of Count, has deter mined to erect a monument in his honour. A deputation has arrived at Madrid to announce the foot to him. The Queen, it is said on the same authority, will, as won as political events shall permit, go to Ferrol for sea-bathing in pursuance of the advice of her physicians. A communicated note in the Meuager de Bayonne, of the bth, states that the intercourse by telegraph with the interior of Spain is completely re-established, and that despatches can now be sent on the same conditions as existed previously to the late inter ruption. The Paris correspondent of the Independance Beige says "Important reforms are being prepared in Spain. That country, as you know, is divided into twelve departments of captains-general and forty-five in tendantships, corresponding pretty nearly to the sous prefectures of France, by which means the an thority and control of the government will pervade every district of Spain. Some persons believe there is a conflict of opposing influences between the go vernment of the Emperor of the French, who is of opinion that the new Spanish constitution should be oefroye by the Queen, and England, which, faithful to is parliamentary principles, would have the con stitution to emanate from the Cortes; bat without absolutely denying this rumour, I must observe that even assuming the Marquis de Turgot to have taken the former side, Lord Howden can scarcely yet have returned to Madrid." ITALY. ROMAN STATES. A letter from Ravenna, dated July 30, contains the following: Tee Municipal Connell of our city, at its sitting of rester day, adopted a very Important ft eolation.

The gonfaionierc or mayor of Ravenna, Signor Jacchinetti, wishing to make a show of zealous loyalty, opposed the motion; bat when it was put to the vire, the Municipal Council, by a very large majority, apErned it without reserve. The member, of this body, sa well ea the ether municipal councils of the Roman States, are 'originated by the Papal government.

NAPLES. A Paris letter, of the 2nd, in theAugsberg Gazette, says:—" Baron B terrier, Minister of France at Naples, yesterday informed the French government by a v,legraphie despatch that the King of Naples had at last resolved on tasking some modifications in the policy of severity which he has hitherto followed. On the 29th alt., it is stated that King Ferdinand signed several pardons of persons condemned for political offences, and Baron Brenier expresses the firm assurance that in a short time rill more im portant proofs will is yet given that the internal policy of the king hes become milder. Thus, the difference between the government of the Two Sicilia. and the Western Powers has taken a favourable torn, and this result must be ascribed principally to the inter- van tion of the Austrien cabinet. It is known that the reply of KIN; Ferdinand to the note of the cabinets of London and POJill was a re fetal, and that the King himself inserted in it some passages which might have personally offended the Emperor Napoleon. The cabinet of Vienna consi dered that this was a great fault on the pert of the Neapolitan government, and one which might have geese consequences. Accordingly, Count Buol has tened to recommend to the Austrian Minister at Naples to do all that was possible to induce the Nea politan cabinet to repair the harm done before the Emperor Napoleon should adopt some energetic mea sure. The good advice of the cabinet of Vienna has this time been attended with full success, and by the acts of grace to which we refer the relations of Naples with the Western Powers have entered into a new liar. There is reason to hope that all the difference will be removed if Austria continues her mediation." PARMA.

A letter from Vienna, 3rd, in the Deutschland, says :—" We learn from good authority, that Gene. eel Count °inlay, who is now here, has been ordered to proceed to Monza, to announce to Field. Marshal Count Radeteky, that the Emperor intends to visit the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom with the Empress in the course of next month. It is probable that their Majesties will set out about the latter end of the month, at which period the Field• Marshal will have assembled the greater part of the army of Italy at Verona, and enc.mped them there. The tour of inspection which Baron de Bach, the Minister of the Interior, has just made in the Lombardo•Venetian provinces, is doubtless connected with this visit of the Emperor." RUSSIA. le Nord announces tha., the coronation of the Emperor Alexander at Moscow will not take place before the 7th of September, and that his Imperial Majesty will not make his entry into the city before the 25th of this month. The Journal de St. Peterabourg of the 31st contains the following official announcements: "Privy Councillor Count Chreptovitch, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to his Majesty the King of the Belgians, is to act in the same capacity at the court of her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain.

A letter from Bt. Petersburg, of the 29th ult., in the Press' of Brussels, says :—" The Grand Duke Constantine, whose seal and activity in everything connected with the navy is indefatigable, has de cided, with the approbation of the Emperor, that all the vessels comprising the Baltic fleet shall, at the end of the present season, be fitted with steam•en. eines and screws on the newest and best system. Between the opening of the present season and the end of May last three frigates, four corvettes, and twelve gunboats and bomb•vessels have already been fitted with engines, and are ready for sea, and it Ii expected that before the winter two line of•battle ships and four more frigates and corvettes will also be similarly provided. The Grand Doke continues to make frequent excursions in a steamer from Cronstadt in the Gulf of Finland. The naval yards at Sweaborg and the arsenals are to be considerably enlarged this year, and the number of workmen ems ployed has been already much increased." THE ISLE OF SERPENTS. VIENNA. Arouse 3. It is stated here on good authority that the Austrian cabinet bus addressed a note to Russia, couched in extremely energetic language, and containing serious protest against the Russian occupation of the Isle of Serpents, at the mouth of the Danube. It sets forth that one of the principal results obtained by the treaty of puce—vie., the free navigation of the Danube, would be endangered and even nen tralised by this measure. To obtain this right of free navigation for Germany was the principal reason for Austria's intervention to bring about the peace of Europe. It is fully expected that the Emperor of Russia will comprehend the force of the Austrian note, and being himself so pacifically inclined, will not fail to give orders for the immediate evacuation of the island in question, the further occupation of which would only tend to produce fresh complications and render the treaty of peace a dead letter. CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 26. The question about the porse.sion of the Isle of Serpents is not yet settled. The Divan bed at first determined to send over a high dtgoitary of the state, accompanied by a strong military detachment, to force the Russians to evacuate the position. But the plan met such oppoeition that it was given up. It was satisfactorily proved, that, without in the least compromising the Sultan's rights of sovereignty, that group of islands belonged at all events to the Danubian Principalities, and that as the Porte was bound by treaties not to maintain standing garrisons in Moldavia and Wallachia, it would be a breach of good faith to garrison the Isle of Serpents with Turkish soldiers.
