THE sows from Vienne, of the retreat of the Rus sians in the Crimea upon Perekop, which we published yesterday, remains unconfirmed up to the hour at which we write. The Vienna telegraph has got into disrepute on account of the number of canards which it has been the means of putting in circulation since the commencement of hostilities. And, in addition to this consideration, the strong batteries and breast works recently thrown up by the Russians at Sebas topol indicate anything rather than an intention on their pert to nuke such a precipitate retreat. We lay tittle stress, indeed, upon the circumstance of no accounts of this movement having been received at our own War office. If Prince OORTCHAKOFF has it in contemplation to evacuate the Peninsula, he will s begin by mcving off those troops which are most withdrawn from the observation of the Allies; he will, in or ier to keep up appearaooss and prevent pursuit, maintain a strong body in front as long as possible. A considerable proportion of the Russian forces will be withdrawn before Marshal PELINIEIII and General StaersoN can become aware of it. There would, therefore, be nothing surprising in our hearing of this retreat from Ragan sources before net own G3vernment had learned anything of it. TllO news, though unexpected, may be true. It may have been the intention of Prince Overeat- Eon' to make an obstinate stand in North Sebasto pol ; and yet he may have been obliged to relin quish this intention by discovering that provisions were beginning to run short, or that his army wee too much demoralised by recent disasters to be relied upon. Until we shall be in possession of more de tailed information, proceeding from a more trust worthy source, it would be equally rash to con clods that the news of the Russian retreat is true, or that it is untrue. But it is difficult to abstain from conjecture 'as to what wiil be the coarse adopted by the Allies if the Russians are really falling back upon Perekop. General PELISSIEeS statement, that they were prepar ing to occupy the town of Sebastopol, sad to appoint a Cue:dation to ascertain the amount and valise of the stores abandoned by the enemy, with a view to an equitable division of them, does not look like an intention of promptly following up the advan tage gained. There is little likelihood therefore, if the Russians are already in full retreat upon Perekop, that the Allies will be prepared to intercept their march. Perekop, though before the war its defences had been allowed to go to ruin, has since it commenced — we have gocd reason to believe—been strengthened by earthworks after the fashion of Sebastopol. The' extreme shallowness of the water on either side of the isthmus wilt render it difficult to bring up a siege train of sufficient strength to destroy these defences. During the autumnal months the country round Perekop is one of the most pesti lential and unhealthy in the world. If the Russians , are able to entrench themselves there, the Allied Generals may be excused for hesitating to undertake a regular siege of the place. Bat from Perekop the only practicable route by which the army occupying it can uceive supplies from Russia, or retreat if ne cessary, is over Kberson, and by the way of Odessa, in the direction of Bessarabia. Masters of the sea, the Album might isolate the troops under Prince GOITCHAKOFP, and cut off their re treat, by the capture of Odessa, and the occupation of the line of the Lower Dnieper. Such a movement, however, implies the capture of Nicholaieff, which is said to be now strongly fortified. The short period of the year available for active military operations that now re mains is opposed to the immediate undertaking of so holden enterprise. The probability therefore is, that if the Russians are really retreating on Perekop, we have heard of the last decisive action of the season —have nothing to look for during the next seven months but mutual observation and occa sional skirmishes between the contending forces. Our opinion as to the danger of procrasti nation has been repeatedly expressed, and it will not therefore be expected that we should submit with a good grace to this necessity. We are, indeed, aware that there are some —end among those whose views are entitled to deference—who consider that such delays are more exhausting to Russia than defeats. Were no other element to be taken into calculation than the amount of Russian resources, and the best mode of wearing them out, we ahculd have little to say against this view ; but we cannot leave out of account the pre carious nature of Western politics. We are anxious to see the Eastern difficulties well advanced towards a settlement before any embarrusmente can arise is the West. If we are doomed to witness another winter of that hope deferred which maketh the heart sick, our only confutation will be that the Western Powers have entered upon a coarse at action from which they cannot with homer, or indeed with safety, recede—our only reliance, under PHOMUNCE, upon the spirit of the people. The stet to of all true Liberals ought to be, paersein s f Corthap—the power of Russia must be curtailed. RUMOUIIS OF NEGOTIATION. Our diplomatic contemporary, the Frankfort Post Gasotto, is informed by a letter from a good source, at Vienna, that "a fresh attempt is to be made to re establish peace. A fresh note will be sent to Russia through the medium of Austria. In this note the demands of the allied powers will be once more ex plicitly stated, and the proposition will be made for re-opening negotiations on this 'ramie. Should Russia not accept this proposition, the military minutiae between Austria and the Western Powers will be im mediately ratified. Respecting the demands of the Western Powers, the assurance has been given that they are still moderate to an eminent degree. The original programme has been retained, nor has a single point been added that is not the na tural consequence of the military advantages obtained. Among these consequences is as indemnity for war expenses. which will doubtless figure as the most important feature of the new negotiations. "A fresh treaty is spoken of as having been con cluded between France and England on the one part, and Turkey on the other. Its object is to invest the Western Powers with the right of keeping garrisons in various puts of Turkey. The points specified are Varna, Adrianople, Constantinople, and Gallipoli. Varna and Stoops would bo used as maritime eta tiara by the Western Powers.• The date of the fongoing letter is Sept. 14. LATEST FROM DESPATCH FROM ABROAD.

A letter in the Paris Presse says: " I give you the following from a certain source. Everybody now knows of the death of the unfor tunate Lorenzo, who was butinadoed for having replied with dignity to the insults of the shirr° Campagna. It should be known that Lorenzo's bourreaux were ordered to pause four minutes be tween every blow of the stick, and the number of blows awarded was one hundred! The surgeon in attendance remonstrated after t..e fiftieth stroke, and declared that if the punishment was carried further death must inevitably ensue. But neither the generous intervention of the surgeon nor the piercing shrieks of the victim could stay the executioners. The hun dred blows were scrupulously administered (the four minutes' interval being observed throughout), and after a torture which lasted seven hours the unfor tunate man was transported to the prison hospital, where he very speedily expired." M. Mans, the notorious director of the secret police at Naples, has been dismissed from office. There can bs little doubt that the demand for redress made by the British government contributed to this result. OF MAZZINI TO THE ITALIANS. M. Maszini has addressed a proclamation to the Italian people, calling upon them to rise. The in surrection, he maintains, is the easiest thing in the world to realise, cod to bring to a succeasful issue. He urges his countrymen, by every argument ima ginable, to miss on the present opportunity; if they do not, they will become the object of contempt to the world. The Vienna Fremden Bien asserts that the Rua @Mosher* concluded "another armistice with Scharnyl for the term of six months." Le Nord publishes a long and laborious letter from a Frankfort correspondent, to prove that the soldiers of the Russian army in the Crimea have plenty to eat and drink. A correspondent of the Vienna Military Gazette comes to the point at once in the following fashion : ODESSA, Sm. 6. The army of Sebastopol is well supplied. Some partied tr articles fetch prices almost incredible, thus, a lemon is worth a silver rouble (3e. 2d.), but meat is , almost given away, and tobacco is as cheap. The following remarkable paragraph appears in the Corriere Italian° of Vienna, a parr often quoted as mernl-clatial : The wane to be tallowy' by the Allies la the Crimea after the takiag et Sebastopol will depend ea tbe attitude of the states of Central Europe.

PPM. *DIIIIOAT HYMN.. Thelbsatitsitiown•Ppablishes instead of a leading article another letter from its rather famous Vienna correspondent, and calls attention to the special im portance of the communication. And painfully im portant indeed the letter would be if we were forced to accept it as the expression of the opinions of the Allied Powers. For it cosily amines that Austria is as much:entitled to take a leading part in settling the conditions of peace self she had shared with= the perils of the war; that the Western Powers are still tied and bound to the miserable four points; and that the victors of Sebastopol should be too happy to think that the result of their lavish sacrifice of priceless blood is—the removal of Austria's objections to some subdivisions of the third point! Although this ore respoadenoe is believed to be of more than ordinary authority, I am disposed to think that the import ance attached to it arises from the fact that it is in spired by the Vienna Chancery, and not that it is apposed of by the French government. The Ow diloginwl, and all the other journals reputed as sessi.ellelel, have been so often repudiated of late, • no ens is entitled to hold the French government committed to anything they may say. At the same time, it cannot be de nied that they are sometimes used as instruments to propagate experimental opinions, and one therefore cannot see without anxiety the leading semi-official print lending its columns to artfully concAted argu ments, tending to nothing less than to set up perfi dious Austria as an arbitrator between defeated Russia and victorious France and England. The capital point of the letter, says the Constitutionnel, is that the taking of Sebastopol and the destruction of the Russian fiset have dispelled the causes which had occasioned a difference between Austria and the Western Powers, not as to the substance, but as to the form of the third guarantee proposed by the Vienna conferences. Now, as our Vienna correspond ent well explain., the difficulty of application having been removed, a complete accord will be established between all the parties to the treaty of Dec. 2, as to the third point as easily as an agreement was oome to with regard to the three others. The letter itself, which is dated Vienna, Sept. 14, begins by attributing to the heat of debate a decla ration of Lord Clarendon's which the people of Eng land had fondly hoped was the result of deliberate sonasele--namely, that the Western Powers ow slimed themselves released from the obligations of the treaty of Dec. 2, and proceeds as follows: When, during the Conferences, of Vienna, Moos Dort chakoff inceseantly remarked that it was impossible for the Cur to compromise the dignity of his mown, M. Drouyn de Lhuys declaimed one day quite indignantly : " Do you think that the Empercr Napoleon 111. can tam promise the military honour of his nation? It is you who have provoked us, and you must submit to the conse quences." The interpretation of the third gua rantee laid down by the Western Powers re posed entirely on the sense of that reply. It is that which explains wl..y Austria, who had so many times declared that she thought herself interested in the solution of the third guarantee, quite as much es the other powers, could not decide on accepting the formula presented by France and England, who, in addition to the general interests of Europe, had to protect the particular honour of their arms. In other words, Austria, as much sv the Western Powers admitted the urgency, for the general interest of Metope, of putting an end to Russian preponder ance In the Black Sea by means of the reduction of the Muscovite naval forces; only as to the amount of that solostion there existed "ten the arrangement pro plea by the Cabinet of Vienna and that demanded by the Courts of the Tuileries and St. James's a difference of about Ida vessels of war. The fall of Sebastopol giving ample and vest satisfaction to the military honour of the Western Powers, the question of the third guarantee re turns Into the domain of the general Interests of Europe, on the ground of which it is almost impossible for France end England not to obtain, not only the moral assistance, bat _ _ _ she active co-operation of Austria. The immediate on %venal of the takiog of Sebastopol and of the destruction of she Russian vessels of war sheltered in its port, is to have eenspletely removed the divergence which existed between what are called the Austrian propositions and the exigencies el the Western Powers. The propositions of Austria being no longer of any practical application, there is no need to add that the Court of Vienna will probably be the first to abandon them, in order, in concert with France and England, to seek for • new combination for the solution of the third guarantee. Such is the great practical utility of the main tenance of the alliance of the 2nd of December. The attitude that Germany may now take must weigh greatly in the councils 6f Russia. But in order to influence the Germanic Confederation, it was essential for the Western Powers to remain agreed with Austria as to the maintenance of the alliance of Dec. 2, since it is the adhesion of the Diet of Frankfort to the Four Points by the veto of Dec. 9, 1854, which serves as the lever of the efforts of Austria to unite in a single phalanx all the forces at the command of Germany, and thus to force Russia to propose at last acceptable conditions of peace. I think that it is sufficiently proved that the third pinnate* has now returned into the sphere of • question of European order, as it equally interests all the great Powers. It may be added, without exaggeration, that it interests Germany even more than France and England, since the Danube, the vital artery of the commerce of Germany, falls into the Eusine. It mush lcss becomes the Western Powers to offer peace than it belongs to Europe to exact it from Russia. The moat narrow party-spirit alone can still maintain that the third gcarentse only looks to the satisfaction of the amourprop►e of Panes and England, since to reduce the Muscovite power to just limits is at ones to guarantee the independence end the integrity of Turkey, and to consolidate the political equilibrium of Ramps. Since writing the above, I learn that M. Prokesch Osten has arrived in Paris to-day, on a mission to submit to the French government an ultimatum, to be proposed to Russia, and to promise that, in cue the Cur shall refuse to comply with the terms pro- posed, Austria will at once eater into a military con vention with the Western Powers. Thus. it is con firmed that Austria has lost no time in interfering to prevent the Allies from following up their victoty. It results from the letter in the Conaliledimeel, that the new Austrian ultimatum can be nothing but the Four Points. I utterly disbelieve that Austria will make a masts belli of the refusal of Russia to pay the expenses of the war, which the Gazette des Poste. supposes to be one of the new conditions likely to be insisted upon. I am informed that the cash in the Bank of Francis hu diminished 40 millions since the publication of the returns of last Friday. The management had ae-1 tinily passed a resolution to raise their discount front four to five per out. Bat M. Magna. the Finance Minister, on hearing of this, came to Paris from the country yesterday to see M. D'Argont, the Governor. and told biro that Government would not permit the interest of money to be raised at the present mo ment. There was no disputing such an intimation. The resolution his consequently been rescinded, and the bank, as a matter of prudence, has resolved to protect itself by diminishing the proportion of its advances upon all kinds of securities. M. Isaac Pereire is expected in Paris on his return from Vienna, by the end of this week. It is said that he gas obtained the concession of the railway from Trieste to Venice. It is also reported that he has overcome the objections that were raised in a high quarter to the establishment of a breach oL the Credit Mobilise Bank at Vienna.

A military faros of foot hundred men was marched from Aatibee and Ceases to the bridge of Var, and another detachment was sent from Toulon to the same destination. At the same time the General commanding the mili tary divides despatehed from Marseilles a detach meat of the 89th of the linq sad a squadron of Inters to Brignolles, there to remain u a corps of obser with's.

PARIS, WIDNRIMAT MORNING. la thinks the announcement that 10,000 horses were about to be shipped at Mar seilles must have been a mistake of the telegraph. A Constantinople letter of the Bth, in the Semaphore, says:—" Ica a month the campaign of 185.5 will be at an end, and preparations are already making here for the troops that are to winter in Constantinople. A (week since several officers of engineers ar rived from Francs to select ground fit for the encampment of infantry. They have not yet made their choice. As for the cavalry, ten thousand sabres strong, it will positively be installed in Maslak camp and in that of Pacha. The commissariat is completing its final preparations for their reception' This number of ten thousand sabres, says the Conatitutionnel, c3rresponds so ex actly with the ten thousand horses of the despatch that we are disposed to think there must have been a mistake in the matter, and that it is not intended at this time of the year to send to the Crimea such a large reinforcement of cavalry, the transport of which, by the way, could not be improvia d.

THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA'S ADDRESS TO HIS ARMY. We anticipated all our contemporaries in laying before our readers the substance of the following order of the day, addressed by the Emperor of Russia to kis army in Sebastopol. We now print the text itself. It is dated St. Petersburg, Sept. 11: The defence of Sebastopol, which has been so prolonged, cad which is perhaps unexampled in military annals, her attracted the attention, cot only of Ennis, but of all Europe. From its very outset, it placed its deluders on the same rank as the most illustrious heroes of our country. For a epees of eleven months, the german of Se bastopol has disputed with a powerful enemy each foot of ground, and each of its enterprises hes been distinguished by acts of the most brilliant bravely. The obstinate bombardment renewed four times, and which has been justly called infernal, shook the walls of our forti fications, but could not shake or diminish the seal and per severance of its defenden. They fought the enemy or died with indomitable courage, and, with an abegnatioa worthy of the soldiers of Christ, without once thickiog of yielding. In regretting with all my heart the loss of so many gene rous warriors, who have offered their lives u a sacrifice to the country, and, in submitting myself with veneration to the judgment of the Almighty, who has not been pleased to crown their acts with complete success, I believe it my *acted duty to express on this occasion, is my own name and in that of all Russia, to the brave garrison of Sebastopol, the meet profound gratitude for their indefatigable labours, for the blood which they have shed in the defeat* for nearly a year of the fortifications which they raised in the course of a few days. But *has is ess impossibility, even for heroes 1 The Bth of this month, after sin desperate assaults had been repulsed, the enemy mended in obtaining poseession of the important Korniloff button, and the General-in-Chief of the army of the Crimea, desiring to spare the precious blood of his companion', which under these eirmusstanees would only have been uselessly shed, determined en passing to the northern side of the place, leaving to the enemy only bloodstained ruins. These heroes, objects of the general esteem of their comrades, will no doubt offer, on re-entering the ranks of the army, new examples of the same warlike virtues. With them and like these, all our troops, animated with the same unlimited faith in Providence, and the same ardent love for me and their country, will always and everywhere combat with courage the enemies who touch the honour and the integrity of the country ; and the name of Sebastopol, which has acquired immortal glory by me many sufferings, and the names of its defenders will live eternally in the hearts of all Russians with the names of the heroes who immortalised themselves in the baton fields of Paltawa and Borodino. A letter from Warsaw, of the 13th, in the Danube of Vienna, says:— The festival of the Emperor's fete was saddened here by the news of the taking of the Malakhoff and its consequences. As soon as Marshal Paildewitch received the intelligence, he despatched his aide-de-temp Orloff Demidoff to Se bastopoL It is certain that a great many more troops are to be sent to the Crimes besides the Guards; especially the militia of the empire.

Letters from Trebirande of the 30th ult. state that General Muravieff was on the 22nd still in the en trenched camp before Kan. He had only his field artillery and some mountain pieces ; his siege train had not left Chinni, and it was doubtful whether he would not content himself with observing the place and keeping up a blockade. Recent telegraphic des patches have announced that notwithstanding his vigilance provisions have been thrown into Kan. Russian accounts from Tiflis state that new troops have arrived there "from Orenburg," and the army of the Caucasus is asserted to be at this moment in a high state of efficiency—so much so, in fact, that an expedition to Batoum is talked of, and it is said that Prince Bebutoff has reinforced the corps at Achaltzik and ordered it to mach thither. A letter from Bt. Petersburg states that the Rus sian army in Asia has lost General Konkoleffski, and that Colonel Talgrine was mortally wounded in a skirmish with tho Turks on August 7th.

BOGOTA, Jots It I have the satisfaction of stating that the repub. lie continues to enjoy the most profound peace, with, out any cause for perturbation in any part of it s vas t territory. The judicial proceedings adopted against the ex President Ovando are continuing their course in the second bearing of his:cause before the Supreme Court, conformably to law, after the sentence pro nounced at the first hearing, and inserted in the offi cial Gazette of the 30th of June, and by which he, being declared guilty of high treason, was condemned to banishment from the republic for 12 years, with legal fines and penalties, and with the loss of his civil and political rights during the period of his exile. The greater number of individuals brought to justice for complicity in the rebellion of April, 1854, and who had not been accused of capital crimes, have accepted the legislative indult of May 29, on condi. tion of quitting the country or certain provinces, as the government has not caused and will not cause blood to be shed in expiation of the late attempt it rebellion. _ _ The industry and commerce of the country annoy in a flourishing condition, recovering quickly from the injuries inflicted on theta materially and morally by the rebellion, and all branches of the public set. vice are being reorganised. The treasury, which was burdened anew, owing to the above causes, has been legislatively assisted by various fiscal measures; amongst them, an augmentation of 23 per cent. on the import duties, and a moderate duty on the ax. portation of tobacco and bark, abolishing at the same time certain municipal imposts on exports; but with the great economy which is decreed, especially in the standing army, and with the regularity in the re• ceipt and distribution of revenue, a very short time will enable us to establish an equilibrium between our revenue and obligations. A patent has been granted for a National Bank of Commission, Discount, and Deposit, oonformablv to law of 13:h of June, and important operations are about to be MAO pith the waste lands. The privileges granted for the enterprise of a tramway from the Valley of Cauca to the port of Buenaventura, on the Pacific, hold out advantages for New Granada. Our rola. lions with foreign powers continue in the best bar. mony. The annual general elections for senators, repre sentatives, magistrates, governors and deputies of provinces are about to commence, and are of great ia. terest for all political parties. 't he liberty of electicn I. completely unfettered, the law thereon well amended, and it is therefore to be hoped that the order party will triumph. We are to celebrate, with public rejoicings, the anniversary of the revolution of 1810. THE WELLINGTON MEMORIAL AND TUB SCULPTORS. In consequence of the remarks made in the Ex. press of the 10th inst., respecting the very unsatisfactory mode in which government is dealing with the competitors for the Wellington Memorial, it has been publicly stated that " the sculptors were warned that government was not pledged to accept any of the models, and in order that It might reject them if necessary, it proposed to pay for them," and that, " In fact the Board of Works invited the tote eminent sculptors named to Pend in models at a axed price," three hundred pounds being the fired sour according to the report. Nothing can be more at variance with fact than this statement, no warning of the kind meutioned or offer of payment for the models being es• pursed in the instructions respecting the competition Meld to the four sculptors by Sir William Moleswerth, on the 22nd of November, 1854. It may be u well here to state, that some time after the models were submitted in compel'. tioo, the two competitors, hl . Baily and Foley, received a communication from Sir William Molesworth, is whim tkey were requested to answer certain queries, prior tea final decision being come to upon the subject. The asset height of the monument, the particular kind of marble the letter was to be composed of, and whether the expense incurred in transporting the monument from the studio sod fixing it in the Cathedral. would be included in the payment of 5,0001, the sum voted by parliament for the work—were the leading questions put to the compd. tors by Sir W. Molseworth on this occasion; still the ml. nister wade no mention of any remuneration for the models, nor did he give any warning as to the government not being, according to custom, pledged to accept the best model. ----- Judging from the very businesslike tone of the comatunin cation, the competitors very naturally supposed that 84 William was filfilliog his duty of inspecting the models with a view of selecting the one for execution. After waiting two months the competitors were informed by Sir W. blolesworth (not Sir B. Hall, as by mistake we stated in our last notice of this untoward affair) that it was his " painful duty" to acquaint them that he could not re commend the execution of either of their models to her Majesty's government. No reasons whatever were Tonb. sated to the sculptors for the unqualified rejection of thek carefully prepared designs, and the communication m ended with • request that the competitors would forwards& estimate of the expenses they had incurred in prepuinff their models, and that Sir William Holeswords would feel much pleasure in submitting any ma. 'onside sum to the consideration of the Loral of the Treasury. Then came the startling intelligence that Mr. Marocketti who, although invited to take part it the competition, thought proper to decline the invitation, had been commissioned to execute the monument. Aid here this most questionable proceeding rests,we imagine, Poe the present, for we cannot suppose that Sir W. Molesworta who has had time to reflect upon the transaction, will pin need to the realisation of a project so calculated to meet with public condemnation. We sincerely trust that advantage will be taken of the Fume to reconsider the whole subject, and first the paltry sum allotted for the monument itself. SERGEANT BRODIE, OF THE FIRST ROYAL DRAGOONS. This non.:omMiesioned officer apper-ed on the parae of the Invalid Depot on Wednesday morning, with a panther of ethers who are discharged from the sena*, for the purpose of being ;Prorated the amount of their pen lieu; and as the case of Sergeant Brodie was one of considerable interest, not only amongst the officers, but also with many gentlemen of the neighbourhood, they were very anxious to hear how the government intended to deal with him after what had taken place. On the preview evening lugs bets were made that the Horse Guards could not and would not dare to give him less than what be wan entitled to, namely, 2r. per day, for the settices he h•v rendered, and the very excellent character he has borne fat the last nineteen years he had been in the regim►nt, seven teen of which a sergeant. Such service alone entitles him to the receipt of nineteenpence per day pension. To the great surprise: of all parties, this honest and worthy man is only allowed the paltry pittance of Is. per day, besides the logs of his position and buineu,whilst the adjutant who ordered the troopers to knock him down, who was the principal and prompter of the duel, has been allowed to sell his own nom• mission and pocket the money, and rewarded with a cap taint" in the Turkish Contingent, worth 6001. s year. The Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster, and the Ledin Agnes and Theodora Grosvenor, have arrived at Baton Hall, Cheshire. Dr. Reston, surgeon of the Cossack, is tweed in Edinburgh in a few deyr, frcm Odessa. Sir George Brown has left Elgin for the south.
