LONDON, TUESDAY, OUR Generals in the Crimea have been sorely annoyed by the surveillance which the newspaper press has exercised over all their operations. They forget that they owe to this publicity a comparative exemption from acts of iojustioe to which the Rus sian 0 Is are frequently 'ejected. The authori ties in St. Petersburg, after twisting and turning the news of the battle of tb. Tchernaya into every possi ble shape, and alter 'finding that by no legerdemain anything could be made of it bat a defeat, have set themselves to invent excuses for the disagree able fact. Prince 001TCHAKOM it would emus L to be made the seepe•goat. The Si: Pe tersburg correspondent of Lo Nord has been instructed to write to that journal, that " an imps tient desire of measuring hie strength with the enemy hurried Prince GORTCUAKOI7 on beyond the _ _ _ _ . _ . _ limit of prudence." In Rossi* this false accusation is certain to be believed, for there no one dare publish the fact that Prinos GOATCHAXOP7, instead of being and inexpressible. do not muse the poverty of the poor creatures they employ—they only tarn it to account. There is some truth in 'what they allege—that the we/thwart whoNt erg half starved under them, would `pm entirely :dtary without them. Still it iv rather In . the r q., great bulk of these traditlan the destit nof others, to give themeelves,intsenlipet span the Soignee, airs of philanthropy. A right-minded man would shrink from specula ling upon gains to be squeezed out of fir- The habit of exacting much work for almost no Po; meat cannot fail t 3 render the heart callous. An illustsation—we trust au extreme one—of the l iind of men who trade upon the seeds of the desti tute, was presented on Saturday last in the Police Court in Worahipstreet. A poor miareetrees, by name ham IzzAcsox, bad been occasionally employed bye person of the name of °woman, in Fashion-street, Spitalfields. When eh* ceased to work for him he was indebted to bee in the sum of ilfteenponoe. For two mortal months did she continue to make applications to him for payment of this paltry sum, but in vain. On Wednesday last she again applied for it, but was once more told to "call again.* To her remonstrances that she had worked hard for the money, and was much in need of it, GRINBURN re plied by seising hold of her, and with dastardly violence sought to eject her from his shop. One of his workmen —Anitawax I.azazus —endeavoured to stifle her cries by placing his hand upon her mouth. They continued thus to maltreat her, notwithstanding the threats of an indignant crowd, until a policeman in terfered and rescued her. Her clothes were torn and her body bruised in the angle; sad when she reached home she was obliged to betake herself to bed sad send for • mugeon. Her assailants, when brought before the Magistrate, did not attempt to deny that the money she claimed was due, or that it had been withheld from her for two months. They only al leged that she had been "civilly requested" to call for it on the Saturday, and had refused to quit the place. This dishonesty in withholding the paltry sum earned by exertions beyond what nature could bear was aggravated by unmanly abuse of man's superior strength. Mr. HAMMILL very pre perly imposed& fine of 101. on mho' the delinquents —one-half to be paid to the poor woman—with three harried away by an impatient desire of battle, merely carried into eff,ct instructions received from St. Petersburg, in a letter from the Emperor, which was , read to the trcope before going into action. It is true that a somewhat similar trick was tried by 1 Sir JAMES (human, when he attempted to 1 throw upon Sir CHAIU.ES NAPIER the whole blame of the reaultless campaign of 18M, while Sir CHARLES bed been merely acting in conformity to the instructions of the Admiralty. But the disin- 1 genuons finesse of Sir JAMES having been exposed;no other Minister will attempt to repeat it. Our Ad- 1 minds and Generals are henceforth safe from such unworthy treatment. Not so with the Admirals and 1 Generals of Russia. Others of them have experienced 1 the same treatment as Prince GORTCHAHOPP before now; and others will experience it hereafter as I often as obedience to the commands of their Go vernment leads to disaster and defeat. The much decried publicity, for which England is indebted to its newspaper press, secures to our Corn menders 17 sea and land fair play at the hands of ' Government, and secures to the public that efficient 1 service which can only be rendered by men who are sure of having justice done them provided they do their duty. It is as well, however, to note that in the present CM any sympathy for Prince GORTCHAXOPP would be entirely thrown away. " Even-handed justice has 1 commended the contents of his poisoned chalice to his 1 own lips.' He has merely been treated by his Government as he has himself treated a braver and a better officer. Among the Russian ' officers who fell at the battle of the Tcher nays was General READ. "Dead men tell I no tales:" and accordingly Prince GORTCHAKOPP has 1 molvtd that General READ shall bear the blame of 1 his failure. " I then proceeded," says the Pawl, in I his report published in the Inrolide Busse, "to that I redoubt [the redoubt on the Telegraph Hill], to ex amine the ground in person, to give my final instruc tions for the operations of the troops, when I was startled by a violent platoon firing on our right wing. General READ, with his two divisions, had attacked the Fedukhine heights. It is impossible for me to explain the motive which determined that , General to make the attack contrary to the adopted plan, without having received my orders to do so, for very soon afterwards he himself and the chief of his staff were killed." Now, singularly enough, no notice is taken of this grave charge against General READ in the abstract of Prince. GORTCHAKOFF'S report which originally appeared in the Inralide Reese. General READ, it will be recol lected, was not killed outright, but was conveyed to the French camp, and lingered some time before he expired. The full report of Prince GORICIIAKOPP, published in the Iftralide Russe, has, therefore, all the appearance of a second and amended edition, re pined aft, r the PEINCE had ascertained that death had incapacitated the man upon whom he now seeks to throw the blame of his repulse from contradicting him. What a picture of courtly baseness and false hood does this shifting of the blame from shoulder to shoulder present ! The parasites of the Court first accuse Prince GORTCHAKOFP of rashness, whereas it appears that he simply carried into effect the posi tive commands of the EMPEROR; and the only way the PRINCE can devise of warding off a misrepresenta tion 'rch he knew awaited him, is, not to tell the real truth, but in his turn to invent a lie against a dead officer. And it is pretty clear that such false hood and dishonesty is not confined to the soil of Russia, but that it would flourish as luxuriantly in this our own land, were there not a public opinion to keep it in check. Selfish cruelty and falsehood are the vices of slaves. They prompt the Russians to slander the absent and the dead, and to turn their guns on their own wounded, abandoned on the field of battle, rather than that the enemy should have the credit of relieving them. There is another important lesson to be drawn from the report of Prince GORTCHAROPT. The allu sion made by General Pstuenta, in his order of the day issued after the battle of the Tchernaya, to his desire to economise the blood of his sol diers, betrayed a lurking uneasiness lest he should be accused of not having followed up his victory with sufficient promptitude. The elaborate report of Admiral BRUM', published a short time afterwards, has much the appearance of having been got up to meet such a charge by anticipa tion. And now the report of Prince GORTCHAKOPP shows how the Russians have been able to turn to account the failure to pursue them. In a tone of braggadocio the PRINCE declares that he made a stand upon the Mackenzie heights, but that the enemy " dared not attempt "to assail him. Whenever the Allies have grappled with the Russians in earnest, the latter have shrunk from the contest ; but wh the Allies have failed to follow up their advantage the Russians have had the audacity to claim a semi victory. The Muscovites mast be dealt with as the old doggrel advisee dealing with a nettle: months of hard labour in the Houe of Correction in default of payment. This is a horrible picture of the ruffian callousness engendered by the prevalence of extreme want in an over-crowded population. As we have said before, legislative enactments and partial efforts are Sing to remedy such a state of things. But they who hold this view are not there fore exonerated from the duty of attempting to remedy it, because that they can see the futility of associa tions to protect needlewomen, or any other suffering class. If they see that that is not the right way to go to work, it is their business to discover what the r right way is. There are too many needlewomen, be cause women are only taught to use their needles. Might not something be done by industrial schools to teach them more varied employments? The specu lators in indigence would not long carry on their heart-hardening trade if they had no customers. Cannot people be made to understand the difference between low-priced commodities and cheap commodi ties? The articles produced by heroines of the " Song of the Shirt" are low-priced, but, as they cannot stand wear, they are not cheap. If the public would cease to deal in low-priced articles, the trade in human exhaustion would necessarily cease. These hints are thrown out not es solutions of this vital question, but as indications of the mode in which its solution must be aimed at. Cbt court. OSBORNB, SIPS 3.

The followiog is an extract from a Paris letter of the let instant: Her Majesty the Queen of England gave every token daring her stay with us of the admiration she entertained for the noble army of France. Of these none was more graceful and gracious than her behaviour to General Can robert, in whom her Majesty saw the representative of the army and the old general-in-chief. Gemmel Caarebert, who bad only arrived the day before the entry of the Queen, wee detained in iris owe apart ments by fatigue and fever, and was unable to accompany the cortege that went to meet and escort her Majesty, nor could he in the evening repair to St. Cloud. The Queen deigned to remark his abet me, and to !AIMS@ her regret. On the neat day (Sunday) the general received an invitation to dine at St. Cloud by order of the Emperor. He was waiting in the drawing room with the other aides de-camp and guests of the Emperor whoa the Queea entered leaning on his Majesty's arm. As soon as she perceived the g I she advanced towards him, and expressed to him, in the most headsmen , ►ow happy she felt in being able to thank him ftr the good undentanding he had always maintained with her army, and to congratulate him on the great achievements of the French army trader his command. When the garrets passed to the dining-room, General Can robot prepared to take his seat near the spot where he hap mita to be; bat the Queen made him sit on her left hand. During dinner she convened a good deal with him, and seemed eager to learn from his lips any details respecting the state of the allied armies, sad the management and pro bable issue of the war. I think lam able to suit, , that Ge neral Cenrobert, though more alive than any one to the MAl entree of the enterprise, entertains not the kart doubt re opening the success of the allies before Sebastopol. Oa Monday, Os 1 Caorcbert was invited to the apart ments of Priam Albert at Bt. Cloud. He had been there some time, in conversation with the Prime about the war in the Crimes, when the Queen entered without being announced. The General prepared to leave, bet the Queen detained him. She sat down, and seeing that the General remained standing, she graciously requested hint to be seated. She then told him that with the sanction of bra Majesty the Emperor s►e ►ad coaferred on him the Grand Cross of her Order of the Bath, as a testimony of her grati tude for the services he had rendered to her army. In this interview, whisk the Qaeea deigned to prolong, she again spoke to General Carnahan with the utmost kindness respecting the merits of his harridan command, and of the line conduct of the French army. Om the day of the Qeces's departure General Cameron formed part of the cortege that accompanied her Majesty to the terminus of the Eastern Railway. Oa his return be was resegareed in the Faubourg St. Deals, and received a reel ovation.

Such at least is the general though, perhaps, the too easily credited opinion of the Allies, who believe that not only are provisions but the munitions of war failing the Russians. The fact that the trans port of munitions from Odessa to the north fort of Sebastopol has been put up to public contract by the government of the former place would seem to give strength to this belief. News of a painful event has arrived from the Crimes.

The cavalry were not engaged. General Gortchakoff remained on the heights with a strong reserve.

(1 , 110111 OUR owl PARIS, MONDAY EVININO. I have reason to think that it is prudent to put a sober and modest construction upon the comfortable phrase in General Peliaaier's despatch " all goes well." There is indeed little or no doubt that we shall take the Malakhoff tower if the Generals continue to think the prise worth the sacrifice which it will cost. Mai ores? Reliable private letters confirm what I stated some days ago, that within the Malakhoff line the Russians have constructed new batteries of almost equal strength with the fort which we have been so long besieging. Assuming that our troops gained a footing in the Pdalakhoff, it is next to certain that they could not remain there in the teeth of the tremendous fire that would be opened upon them. Moreover, the communication between the northern and southern part of Sebastopol is com pleted, the inhabitants of the town-proper are prepared to evacuate and cross the bay, on the other aide of which, under the protection of the formidable northern forts, ample preparations have been made for enabling both the garrison and the population to pass the winter. The Russian government has renewed its contracts for victualling Sebes:opal up to April, 1856—a cir cumstance of some importance, as showing that in its own opinion at least there will be a garrison to vic tual all through the winter. Now, although I think it right to mention these things, I must add that the rumour of the day in government circles is that "excellent news are expected." But the govern ment has often already shown itself too sanguine. The tenor of reliable private accounts is, that no bombardment and no assault is likely to reduce the place. Much glory may be gained by the Allies, and much misery inflicted upon the enemy, but until their supplies are cut off by the investiture of the place, there is every probability that they will con tinue to maintain an army in an impregnable posi tion. Southern Sebastopol may be taken, but a northern Sebastopol will grow up to replace it. A Milan letter, of Aug. 29, in the Constitsdionnel, contains some rather exciting intelligence. It says that within the last twenty-four hours the public mind had passed from a state of dead calm to one of great uneasiness. Exaggerated rumours of the bad understanding between the French and Neapolitan governments were whispered about in all directions. and at length it was asserted and very generally believed that the cabinet of Paris had resolved to send an army of 40,000 men to Naples. The govern ment at first paid no attention to these rumours, but at length it saw reason to connect them with seditious manifestations on the point of breaking out, according to various reports, either on the Swims or Piedmontese frontier, or as some said, in the interior of the Lombardo•Venetian previous. But from whatever cause, the fact is cer tain that the government suddenly broke up the Soma camp, consisting of 12,000 or 14,000 men, and marched the troops into Milan. At the moment of closing his jotter, the correspondent learnt that a great many arrests had been made, the details of which were kept profoundly secret. I learn that orders have been given for the im mediate formation of a camp of 6poo cavalry, at St- Maur—close to Vincennes. The Parse gives it u positive that the Kiog of . Sardinia will arrive in Paris on the 16th of this month. Abd-el-Kader, whole arrival at Marseilles has been announced, has been detained there by serious illness. At the Bourse, the settlement being completed, there wu a marked disposition to bay the Rents, and a rime of 65c. was effected, the closing price being 67f.

A letter from Savoy of the 29th alt. says that aw l levy of 13,000 men of the elms of 1854, is being proceeded with most actively in all parts of the pro vince, and that when it shall be completed, a new levy of 14,000 men for the class of 1865 will be made. Substitutes supplied by the State, who cost 1,200 fr. previously to 1848, and I,Boofr. since then, now cost 3,800 fr.; and it is considered a privilege to obtain them at that price.

The Minister immediately wrote to his government, sod the latter replied by telegraph that it highly disapproved of the Duke's resolution. The Count de Chambord, however, are. rived at Vienna, and the Deka had an interview with him, which was marked by great cordiality on both sides. The government, on being brimmed of the interview, wrote to the Duke de Mostposaler to express frankly its profound displeasure and that of the Queen at what he had done. It at the same time seat instractioas to M. de ityllon to In fora the Duke that it was the express pleasure of her Ma jesty that be should leave Germany immediately for Switz erland. The respect due to the husband of the sister of the uses does not allow the ministry to speak publicly of this affair in the official newspaper, nor to publish the despatches relative to It; but it will present the latter to the Cortes, if required. FRENCH FINANCE. (rum A 00323SPONDINT4 The nooses of the system of open loans in France is incontestable, and they must henceforth be ranked among the financial "institutions" of that country. Another successful engine, and a moot important one, has thus been devised and employed by the govern ment of Napoleon the Third for breaking down class privileges, and for carrying out his policy of demo cratising capital, thereby opening to all the means of participating in the commercial profits for which Francis offers so wide a field. To the future historian of France the politico-economical system of the pre sent Emperor will furnish a most interesting chapter, for it is doubtless the key to hie plan of internal ad ministration. Instead of employing the vast and ill defined power in his hands for the benefit of the few, as his predecessors have done, he profits by their errors, and with an astuteness for which few gave him credit, he has evidently determined to base his throne on the material prosperity of the masses, and to interest " the people in the maintenance of the existing order of thing.. Oct. of the earliest steps towards sapping the monopoly of capital, and giving a practical bearing to the theory of the organiution of labour, was the authorisation of the two societies called the Credit Foncier de France and the Societe Generale du Credit Mobilier, and the extension of the powers of the Discount Bank. The two societies above mentioned are based to some extent on Law's system, and were established to enable a number of small capitalists, as in joint stock banks, to enter upon operations hitherto monopolised by a few wealthy individuals. The crea tion of the Credit Foncier had, however, an object in view more immediately interesting that very nume rous class in France the small landed proprietors, and of relieving them of a burden which seriously fet tered their industry. It is well known that the majority of the small estates are mortgaged, and that the high interest charged, the coat of renewal of loans, and the comparatively slow process by which agriLul tare returns the capital laid out, rendered a mortgage generally the precursor of ruin. The Credit Foncier was established then to grant loans on mortgage at a moderate rate of interest, fixed from time to time by the government, and including a sinking fund which, at the expiration of the term, leaves the land free and unincumbered.• The Credit Mobilier, on the other hand, in addition to undertaking the great financial operations hitherto conducted by the Roths child., the Oppenheims, &c., was more especially created for granting loans on capital invested in the public funds, or in the bonds and shares of public companies. The object in view in both cues was to enable the small capitalists, as shareholders, to compete with the great capitalists, u individuals, and by breaking down the monopoly of interest, to render borrowing less onerous to the borrower, and lending more profitable to the lender. Both companies propose to attain their object of mobilising the investments of the community at large, by the double means of, firstly, advancing their shareholders capital on securities to be approved by the authorities appointed by the state, and them, by issuing bonds representing the value of those seta ride, and bearing a rate of interest proportioned to that which has been obtained on the original ad vances. It is intended by these means that the sums lent, and which arise from an aggregate of small capital., shall be again put into circulation in a form more convenient than the securities which the bonds represent could offer. It cannot be doubted that a policy at once so shrewd and so beneficial to the community in gene ral is well calculated to attain its object, and its progress is of the highest interest, not only to this country, but, above all, to those governments which, in spite of every warning, still travel in the old ruts which have more than once imperilled the safety of the state machine, but which they still seem unable either to see or to avoid. • The rate of interest was lied at 6 per cent., white in a . lnded the redemption of the debt in 60 years. HAMBURG. HAMBURG, San. 1. The abuse of neutrality which I endeavoured to ::pose in a former letter is going on with as much . spirit as ever. The newest dodge to pack a couple of hundred weight of lead into the middle of a large [cask of sugar, and it then passes through Prussia into Russia. Another rather striking case occurred this week. The screw steamer Constantine (an appro .. priers name to be employed in a smugglink triune. Lion of contraband of war into Russia), from Amster dam, landed the whole of her cargo in this port, with the exception of 150,000 lbs. of lead, which she car ried over to Marburg, for conveyance by railroad into the interior, the oaptsin being prohibited by a special clause in the bill of lading from discharging it here, and sending it over to Marburg in lighters, as is fre quently done. It was ostensibly stated that its desti nation was Magdeburg; but it is clear to soy one who knows anything about it, that Prussia is not in want of lead, being abundantly supplied with this article from her own lead mines in Silesia. In saltpetre and sulphur there is nothing doing this week, as the market is bare, the stock having been bought up and sent to Russia. One of our first-este houses has this week received from Oldenburg—one of the partners in the Olden burg Consul-100.000 Louis d'ors in gold, to be changed for dollars. This is one of the instal ments paid by Prussia to the Orandduke of Oldenburg, for the mudbanks of the Jande-Busen, the future Cronstadt of the Pruden navy. Whilst the Senate of Hamburg were so blind to the interests of the commerce of this place, as to re , toss to sanction the establishment of the North-Ger man Bank (the conseqienos is that discount has risen to 51 per cent.), our neighbours in the sister city of Lubeck are carrying out the ido,with the concurrence and support of their Senate, under the name of a Bank ofDiscount,whieh will be a vast facility for their pros perous trade. The capital required was subscribed tor in three days, and a provisional committee has been appointed by the shareholders, to draw up the regulations and bye-laws of the joint stock company.

The Paris, whilst admitting the sufferings of the Neapolitans, asserts that the King is ignorant of them. The ignorance is easily explained, if it be true, as it is confidently reported, that his Majesty refuses to grant an audience to two classes of suppli cants, that is, those who apply for assistance from the Monte della Miserioordia, and those from political motives. But his Majesty has no reason to thank his apologist; for if ignorance be any excuse for the man, it is the strongest condemnation of the Sovereign and the form of government. Be his Majesty igno rant, however, or be he not, the following absurdities and enormities are practised under what is styled by our Neapolitan journalist "the civil wisdom of the King." I advert first to a variety of facts which show the strong and bitter animus of this govern ment towards the allies. The arrest of some Augus tin friars has been already mentioned ; not that they were guilty or even suspected of any political offence, but as offering the only mode of getting at Monsig nor* Pizarro, the Papal delegate, whose sentiments towards the allies were doubted. His papers having, however, been obtained, examined, and restored, the friars were set at liberty. The persecution of the Je suits, too, has recently been suggested by their open advocacy of the cause of the Allies in the Cinitta Casio liea, and by the protection which their brethren received in France under the present Emperor. This to the diplomacy of the allies has again appeared in the insult offered to Sig. Fagan, the secretary of the British legation by the director of police. It is worthy of note, too, that the recent persecutions of some of the most distinguished families of the country have been in those cases where the diplomatic agents of two governments have been more especially received. I shall mention some fresh instances. The Duke of Bivona, a Spanish nobleman and a Carliat, resident io Naples, has been distinguished rather by his amociatioo with the Royalists; yet police spies have been openly and permanently established before his house, and have, penetrated into the interior of his society. The duke went directly to the King to complain of the griev ance, when he was informed that on a certain night, in the corner of a window in his drawing-room, the affairs of the East had been discussed in a sense favourable to the allies. Bivona was astonished, but on a profession of strong attachment to the King, he was liberated from this public espionage. It will be doubted that such thiap can be ; let me give you, then, another case. The Duke di Palliano, of the house of Colonna, has a villa at Capodimonte, where he receives once a week. His receptions have been attended by the royal princes, the Count of Aquila, and the Count of Syracuse; sometimes by the royal princesses ; by various diplomatists, as the apostolic nuncio; by some of the most distinguished personages in the country, as the Cardinal Archbishop, Prince Ischitilla, and other', yet for some time persons of a vulgar appearance, well known to be police agents, have been found in the gardens. Strict orders were given to exclude every one from the grounds but those who were specially invited. On the 19th Aug., how ever, when a fee was to have been given, three persons seated themselves early near the large iron gates of the grounds with, paper and pencil in hand. The names of all who entered, amongst others, the Count of Aquila and Prince Ischitella were noted down, and when the name of the arrival was not known threats were used to extort it from the servants. This happened in the case of the Countess of Casalmaggiore. The commissary of police for the quarter of Capodimonte had received hie orders to watch over the watchers, and see whether they performed their strange duty. The object of this espionage, which was doubtless to put a stop to those social reunions, will be probably accom plished, as the Duke is shortly going to Rome, which, by universal admission, is, beyond a doubt, a paradise of liberty compared with Naples. The Prince Torella has also closed his house, where the most distinguished foreigners and natives once met. The object is, of course, to appease the anger of government, which has been recently poured out against his son, the Marchese Bella, for having attended the funeral of Dr. Cesare. Three of the principal providers for the police, having free access to noble families, are the Prince P Gennaro —, and -- Captain of the Royal Guard Whilst such is the disposition of the government towards the allies, and each the manner in which it is at this moment displayed, the maze of the people are body and soul with us. There is not a house in Naples where in its interior the affairs of the war are not discussed both day and night; nor is there a ,l single individual beyond a corrupt circle who does not rejoice at the success of the allies. Indeed, such is the effect produced by the recent victories, that even this people, deprereed and trodden in the dust as they are, held op their heads with hope, and in the prospect of deliverance seem no longer to fear the prison or the stick. The same reckless feeling exists as sprang up before the revolution of 1848. Although nothing has transpired to show that there is any political bearing in the visit of the Austrian fleet, I am glad to say that the influence of the Archduke Maximilian has been exerted in decided opposition to the present state of things. On his arrival here be particularly requested that Gen. Filangieri and Prince Sumacs should be presented to him. The answer was that the general was ill and in the country. At a banquet which the King gave to the Archduke the general did not make his appearance. Yet to this man, beyond all contradiction, his Majesty is indebted for the half of his kingdom. The King and the Royal Princes were entertained in their turn by the Archduke on board the Schwartzenburg : his Majesty was accompanied by Generals Roberti, Gastani, and Lettieri. Amongst the guest. invited specially by the Archduke were the Generals Filangieri and Ischitella. It is well known that both these distin guished men served under Gioacchino Murat. It is further said that on the remonstrance of the Arch duke some change will be shortly made in the minis try. Del Carretto has been spoken of as Police Mi nister, and it is added that the Flogging Commission has been dissolved by express order of his Majesty. I gave you a few weeks since an account of Signor di Lorenzo, a merchant and a banker, who had received 100 lash es well counted, and had been left for nearly dead. The Grand Criminal Court, by whom the case was to be tried, has since brought in a verdict of " innocent " on the main charge; that he was not guilty of resisting the polioe force, but only of replying to a low agent of polio* with " Reace parole," consequently the case was sent to the Regio Guidioe to be tried correc tionally. Dr. Lorenzo Is still in prison. Perhaps I should most correctly say that the " Flogging Com mission " is only suspended—no flagellation to be permitted, except by a written order from the Minister of Interior. A variety of reports are circulating, which I give, though I do not guarantee : That Sir William Temple and the French Minister had demanded the dismissal of the director of the police (probable) ; that this government has made a considerable loan to Russia; that a French ship of war has not received any answer to her salutes in a Sicilian port. The fact is, the utmost excitement exists here, the political cauldron is boiling over, and what between oppression, violence, hope, fear, fury and revenge, we are in a moat delectable state of agitation. The Capri, coming from the north, has been refused admittance into this port on the ground of having lost a passenger on board of cholera. The Nord, which sometimes publishes some sur prising statements, says that " Napoleon and Lord Palmerston have promised the King of Sardinia to add Tuscany, with the Duchies of Modena and Parma, to his dominions."

Extract from a letter of a correspondent : 44 Erzerotim, August 7. " At last we seem on the point of witnessing the termination of our drama. General Mouravieff is ad vancing against us with about 20,000 men and 40 pieces of artillery. Nevertheless, on account of the negligence of the Pacha, and the chaos which reigns: here, we neither know how far the enemy is distant nor by what road he will come. It is certain that no resistance can be offered. The small army that we have is disorganised. The Pachas are incapable and in despair. The country is in the power of the bashi-bunks, who fire their muskets in the middle of the streets, violate domestic pri. very, rob, and, in fact, commit any act suggest e d by their sovereign will. In short, our state hire is insufferable and dangerous. These anxieties, which are killing my wife, and almost drive me mad, hays decided me to depart with the family of our consul, the officials of the consulate of France, and other Europeans, who intend to leave this city to-morrow for Trebisond. " Pardon the manner in which I have written the annexed. We are in such confusion that it is im. possible to concentrate one's ideas. However, you have the truth, and this is what is not to be got from the Pachas here. " I must, however, do justice to the government of the capital here, which has done its best to supply th e wants of the army. The actual state of things is owing to nothing but the incapacity and the apathy of the officials here. " Hoping to see you soon (with the permission of Signor Mouravieff), I remain, &e." THE CRIMEA. The Independence Beige publishes the following VIENNA, Anourrr 29. If we are to give credit to the Infarmation received horn, General htelndsoff, who hts succeeded General Todleben as director of the defensive works of Sebastopol, has had mines, fovea, galleries, small redoubts, and bassi. cadge made between the first and second lines of defence. Upon the eminence between Fort Paul and the bastion No. I he has bad a work constructed, which commands the I towers of Konsiloff and the idalakhoff millets an extent, that the allies will be unable to establish themselves in these towers, even when they shall have conquered them. Tha Belbec heights again are stronger than ever, and the entire park of field artillery previously at Sebastopol is slap there. A Paris correspondent of the same paper writes: The camp of Bluish is emptied as fast as it is filled. This is at least the third time that the troops collected there have been seat on to the Crimes. This last departure com prised a whole division, for it was a force of 10,000 men, that General Larchey reviewed on the 15th of Augtut at Constantinople. Leokiner at this last despatch of troops, it btoomes evielent that General Pelinier wishes to collect all the forces disposable in the Eut for the great enterprise, as he calls it, in his order of the day of August 17. But no time will be loet in re-filling bluish; the preparations mad* is the three French campground Constantinople for receiving an effective fore° of 50,000 men, coincide with the orders issued in France for the continuance of the embarkations. Since the failure before the bialakhoff, and the new efforts for a differeat result next time, from 70,000 to 75,000 men have already sailed in less than two months. From 25,000 to 30,000 more men will embark before the middle of Septem ber. All has been arranged for their prompt departure. Thus, within the space of two months and a half, a second army of more than 100,000 men will have been added to the first, to fill up all gaps and augmeat its original strength.

Whatever man can do I am certain will be done by you; and if you're restrained by a mewed duty from embarking in any desperate enterprise, en your return to Baro Sound you shall receive full instructions from me respecting an attack on the Aland Islands.

My dear Sir Charles,—l had anticipated your return to the westward after an offer of battle, which I telt certain the enemy would decline; and it now remains for you to blockace the Gulf of Finland, to keep the fleets at Cron stadt and klelsiogfors disunited, and to await the arrival of the French troops, when you and the French Admiral and General must deliberate on the operations to be undertaken by the combined forces. Bomatsund will clearly be within your reach. &iceberg, if it were possible, would be amble prize, but on no amount be led into any desperate attempt, and, above all things, avoid the least risk of the Mali= fleet slipping out of the Gulf of Finland when your back is turned ; and be slow to land your marines, without whom your line of battle is disabled. The Russians, though shy, are crafty ; and if they can catch you at a disadvantage. they will be down upon you. . . . With 60,000 troops and 2 , 0 gunboats you might still do something great and decisive before the end of September. • I am, my deer Sir Charles, your, sincerely, J. G. GRAsAx.

[Reed. 6th.] My dear Sir Charles,—By your foresight and good ar rangements, the whole of the French army will have joined you off Bomarrund before the end of this week, and bops that you will send back the line-ot battle ships which car ried them to you as soon u possible. . . . I am aware that Bumarsund presents difficulties, but I feel certain that you will overcome them.

Devonport, Aug. 26, 1864. [Recd. Sept. 3.] My dear Sir Charles,—l am more than satisfied with your proceedings. I am delighted with the prudence and sound judgment which you have evinced. It would have been a miserable want of firmness had you yielded to clamour, and risked your ships, and sacrificed many valuable lives, in an attempt to destroy, by naval means, works which were certain to fall to an attack by land. Your reasoning also, in favour of the immediate and entire destruction of the forts at Bomanund, is irresistible, and I hope you will take care that the destruction is com plete, and that not one stone is left upon another. I am well pleased also with the promptitude with which you have sent back the lineof•bartle ships and steamers. The cork has been well done, and I gl►dly give you the utmost credit (or it.
