The late inversion of the Russian into the Do brudieha was a step not maturely mouldered berme it wag taken, and is likely to lead to the most disastrous moults for the Csar's brotber-in•law and spacial sup raisr, the Bios of Prussia.

Despatches were instantly sent off to Herr von Hubner at Paris, with orders to communicate to the Emperor of the French the notification, that is consequence of this fresh aggressive act on the part of Russia, the execution of the offensive and defensive treaty of alliance could not be any longer delayed. What the malt of this step will be we mum wait to me. Although the term for receiving the return answer from St Petersburg expired two days ago, nothing is heard of a renewal of the conferences. It is to Paris that we now look for the nut important news. The resignation of Baron Baumgartner from the post of Minister of Finances and Trade has not caused any sensation, it having been long sines anticipated. It is well known here that be all along set his face against the late measure of renting the State rail roads in Austria to the French company, in which he was, however, outvoted by his colleagues. Baron von Brock, at present the Austrian internuncio at Constantinople, is spoken of as the new Minister of Finances and Trade. The Baron is well knows es the Lander of the flourishing steam navigation com pany of the Austrian Lloyds, at Trieste, and is more over a good financier and a practical man of business.

The Austrian government have ordered all the Jews residing near the frontiers of Poland to move immediately into the interior, so as to be more under the surveillance of the police. This measure has been taken in consequence of several Hebrews hav ing acted as spies to the Russian government, and carried news of movements of troops, &c., across the frontier. Rewards have been offered for the appre hension of several Jews who are suspected of being Russian spies, and who have absconded, and probably found a refuge in Poland. PIEDMONT. TURIN, JAW. 21 .

The Cheat Britain screw stsaro-ship, Capt. Gray, whose arrival in the Mersey has been expected daily for the last few weeks, made her appearance at Queenstown lut night, for coals, after a passage of 84 days from Melbourne, having left that port on the 29th of October. She brought 299 passengers, all of which were in good health, and 180,000 manors of gold, valued at 720,0001. Her passage was much protracted by easterly gales, especially the latter portion, when she had to trust to her steaming powers alone. She reports the arrival at Melbourne of the Black Ball clipper Marco Polo on the 25th of October, which wu to leave on her return on the 2nd of De cember. The cargo of the Great Britain consists of 642 bales of woof, 120 casks of tallow, three bales of warm, and 108 packages of merchandise. The news yet received (by telegraph) is very meagre; nor until her arrival at this port will the mails be delivered. An outbreak at the Ballarat diggings hu been reported, but the particulars or result is not yet known. No improvement had taken place in the commerce of the colony, the markets being all overstocked, and prices vety low. The Great .Britain will leave Queenstown (after coaling) this evening for Liverpool, and is expected to arrive in the course of to-morrow. It is believed she will be at once taken up for the conveyance of troops for the Crimea, by either the English or French governments. THE PARIS UNIVERSAL. EXBIBITION. PARIS, JAx. 19. The artists are in great commotion here. They fully believed that the time for the reception of their works would be extended beyond the 15th of March next, bet now the belief is general that the 15th will absolutely be the last day of reception. This belief has given a vigour to the artistic world here— all artists are too busy to give much time to the amenities of social life, and then they are naturally very anxious. The report runs from mouth to mouth that no less than twenty-five thousand pictures will be prevented for exhibition, and that there is room for only five thousand. Thus, only one picture for every five painted eau be received. This gives to the competition all the excitement of a lottery. To the list of known artists who are at work for the Exhibi tion I may add the name of M. Jeauron, who is en gaged upon two views of the sandy coast of Amble ten*, as at present enlivened by the Camp. Some of the studies upon which these paintings are based— are masterly sketches, wherein a few careless strokes directed by the true artist's eye accomplish marvellous effects. The pencil hardly touches the paper before the effect is complete. This power is the charm which attracts us to sketches, and which makes them often more agreeable than the finished productions to which they are subservient. The first act of the eocsraitrio' we whose report we I are sow reviewing was to summon the directors of the Eastern, and the Paris and Havre Railways, to alba* . two things froai them. The first, the modifi cation or abolition of a certain obnoxious treaty or arrangement made with an agency at Nancy; the second, a general reduction of their fares. The treaty has not been renewed, bat the fares have not been lowered to the public; oily to the emigrant who can fairly prove his title. This is an undoubted amelioration, so far as it goes ; and the commissioners still hope to carry their point of a general reduction, which they maintain, and justly, will be sdvantageons to the shareholders themselves, now that Belgium and Germany have lowered their railroad fares, for traffic naturally flows where ' there is the cheapest means of traaspoet. The tariff of the sea voyage . the commissioners wisely leave untouched. This is a thing which will always muslin itself according to the varying conditions of commons which no laws can regulate. Also the subject of provision —whether the emigrants shall provide for themselves or the captains provide for them, is left open ; partly in the fear of clashing with the rules which the American Congress has laid down for the transport and weil-being of the emigrants on board ship ; and se the greatest number of emigrant ships from French ports are American, it is good policy to make such laws as ellen square and not interfere with theirs. Bat, on the other hand, stringent laws are pro- posed for the guidance and government of emigration companies and agencies, and powers are to be vested in the special commissiouers of emigration which shall include all the normal powers of the police and gendarmerie. No emigration company or agency shalL be established without first obtaining the au thorisation of government, and depositing se security such a sun as will constitute a serious responsibility. And the powers of the special commissioners are to culminate is their ability to refuse the permit of em barkation to whoever shall not have fulfilled certain conditions. No foreign emigrant shall be received in France who does not possess, as the minimum, either 200 francs if he arrive by land, or 150 francs if he comes by sea, or one a contract which nearer his transit through France and his passage by sea. When this contract bears the description (sgealemetst) of the emigrant, and his identity is established, it may hold the place of passport. Economy of time and money, will be the result of this liberal measure . " The question is raised whether the commissioners shall demand more than his passport from the emigrant—as for example, proof that he has fulfilled the obligations imposed on I him by his own laws, such as that of military service, &e. Bet the difficulties rending in the way of one nation making itself the polio, agent of another answer this question, and negative it. The report then goes into the su bject of the authorisation to be obtained from government before an emigration society or company can be started. It says that it will give this new "industries a character of honour and morality which it has never had before • that the required security of from 13,000 f. to 40000 f. will also give it a character of stability and respon sibility ; and it defends this possible iofraction:of the liberty of oommeroe by the precedents of the bakers, butchers, pork butchers, wine merchants, coffee house keepers, and hawkers, all of whom require governmental or municipal authorisation before they begin busini The proposed project gives two distinct offices to the Minister of the Interior and to the Minister of Commerce. To the first belongs all that concerns the organisation, surveillance, and management of the Commissioners of Emigration, as also the initiative of all those general measures of police which the emi gration movement might necessitate for the guardianship both of public and private inte rests. The second delivers the authorisation —that is to say, a eort of patent or license, for the exercise of a special trade, fixes the amount of security required, and modifies when necessary the time specified for the passage, according to the conditions and progress of navigation. Thus these two ministerial departments do not trench on each other ; they neither cross nor embarrass one another. The first-section ends by a rule "the full liberality of which will be appreciated by the emigrant." The luggage of emigrants, " submitted to certain pre ventive measures easy to be observed," will be exempt from all custom-house tax or annoying search. This, then, is the recapitulation of the principal points of the first sectioe of the decree. In Paris, Strasbourg, Forbach, Havre, and Saint Louie, and wherever else the Minister of the Interior shalt judge necessary, special commissioner shall be appointed to superintend the whole emigration move went, both French and foreign; an office shall be established in each of these cities, where emigrants may obtain gratuitous information on all the points connected with emigration, and where they may obtain their contracts or permits for embarkation. No foreign emigrant shall be admitted into France who does not possess, on arriving at the frontier, at least 200 f. for each adult, and 80f. for each child between six and fifteen years of age; if he arrive by sea 130 t. for each adult, and 801. for each child. The visa of his passport or contract shall be gratuitous. All emigration companies or so cieties must give a security of from 13,000 f. to, 40,000 f., bearing interest at 3 per cent. per annum. They may employ agents both in France and abroad, for whose acts they are responsible. They are bound to furnish each emigrant with a copy of his contract, or in default of that, with a paper stating his nation ality, the place of his destination, and the stipulated' conditions of his transport. Within twenry.four hours of his arrival at the port of embarkation the emigration company shall send in to the Commis biome of Emigration a paper bearing the name of the emigrant, and verifying the preceding conditions. The luggage and provision stores of the emigrants arriving in France by railroad shall be exempt from all tax and search, except in cases of suspicion of fraud, and also when put on board the emigrant ship. This ends the first section of the decree. In another article we will give the remaining two sections concerning emigrant ships. But before closing this abstract we would draw attention to one point specially suggestive. It is the evident desire of the Emperor to encourage emigration. The habit of colonisation once established in France, would effect a powerful revolution of the whole national character. There woald be a more rapid increase of population, and a corresponding increase of energy and enterprise. In many cases, the family lands, now subdivided into mere garden plots, would accu mulate—the younger brothers glad to sell their pitiful share for the chance of large possessions abroad ; and though we are heart and soul opposed to the system which gathers all the land into a few monopolising hands, yet the infinite subdivi.ion of French property does not •%ork well; it begets poverty, not independence; idleness, not energy--ss mast be the case where universally divided into such small pitrimonies as cannot support their owners. For the large landowners are the exceptions in France, as the small landowners are the exceptions with us. This decree marks also the Emperor's anxiety to keep pace, in object, with free and ener getic countries. His means are widely different. Bat it is a great thing to publish and establish the fact that the material well-being of his subjects is care fully watched over, even if somewhat despotically ordained; and that under certain conditions some of the many rigorous police rules may be abolished, even though new ones are set up on another aide. In fact the whole decree is a mass of despotic liberalism, of wisdom, foresight, and benevolence, dealt out with an autocrat's hand. of a moral dragooning of men to their own profit and advantage. This is the point which to us seems the most important and sugges tive, both positively and relatively. We neither condemn nor praise it; we simply wish to draw attention to it as a fact pregnant with historical meaning, and as evidence of a mode of government diametrically opposed to our own.—Doily News.

The wounded and sick soldiers, which arrived here oa Monday last by the Royal Mail steam-ship Cembris, have all, with tie exception of thirty-four, proceeded to their various depots. This latter number included the most serious °sees of sickness and wounds, sod it was deemed advisable, for the safety of the men thus situated, to permit their occupation of the temporary quarters pre pared by the local authorities for them at Brownlow-kill. Every care and attention are lavishly bestowed by the attendants and inmates of the adjoining wards, but we regret to say that last evening two deaths took place. The nature of the diseases which led to this melancholy result, however, preclu:ed the indulgezme of a hope, on the part of the 'assess', of recovery—one case being deep consump tion, end the other dysentery. The number is now re duced to 32 sick and wounded. ADMIRALTY, SAL 22.--ArrorrinirENTs.—Acting Assistant Burgeons A. Itattray, to the Nankin, 60, at Chatham; and A.. 8.

The first public recognition of this gallant officer's services since his return to Hogland from the Crimea, took place yesterday at Folkestone, when a congratulatory ad drew, accompanied by a sword valued at 10 guinear, was presented to him by a deputation from the iubabitanti of the united parliamentary boroughs of Hythe, Folkestone, and floodgate. The mrosentation took place at one in One of the large saloons of the Pavilion Hotel. The deputation was beaded by Mr. Brockman, M.P. for the district, and in, eluded abort sixty gentlemen, among whom were the Mayor of now (Mr. kloutypenny), the Mayor of Folkestone (Mr. Mackie), Colonel Sanctilands, Mr. Lacon (comptroller 1 1 of customs' at Folkestone), the churchwardens of the several parishes, and the aldermen and councillors of Myth. and Folkestone, dm. The deputation, having been introduced, were received with marked courtery by the gallant general. Mr. Baoc&u (addrawing Sir De Lacy Evans) said—l have been requested, in the name of the inhabitauts of the united district of Hythe, Folkestone, and SAndgate, to pre sent a congratulatory address to you upon your return to your native country, after A career in a foreign land, which, although brief, has been brilliant and patriotic. We have been anzlotts not to lose a moment in doing honour to a gallant and distinguished officer, and we confess ourselves gratified to find that the " Men of Kent " are first in the field, as they certainly yield to none in their admiration of your bravery and patriotism. I have fur years been your intimate friend, and it is a subject of high gratifica tion to me that, in every company of Englishmen, your name is received with expressions of honour and exaltation. We venture to ask you to honour us by accepting this sword, i.. testimony of our admiration of the manner in which you have well its kindred weapons for more then halts century. After apologising for his want of eloquence in performing the task he had undertaken, Mr. Brockman reml.ths address as follows : "SO CIIIMIRAL 80k DX LACS IVANS, X.C.B, ITC. 81r,—We, the inhabitants of Ilythe, Folkestone, Sand gale, and adjacent parishes, forming the pariiamentary borough, take the opportunity your sojourn among us af fords to express our satisfaction that your health is suffi ciently restored to allow of your receiving our oongratula- Huns on this occasion. " We welcome you back with heartfelt pleasure from the mat of war—a war maintained for the cause of justice and the independence of nation., accompanied, alas! as it has been by disease sad privations, but borne with constancy and patience. It is with pride (mingled with deep grief for the noble hearts that have throbbed their lent in the gallant actions of Alma, the heights of febersaya, and Inkermann) that we have traced the passages of danger and death through which has shown conspicuously your energetic mind, self-abandonment in sickness to attend the Gall of duty, and generous self-denial in the hoar of victory. " We gratefully thadk the Almighty dispenser of all good for your safe return to England, to Lady Evans, your family and friends, and trust that many years of peace and happiness (crowned as they must be by glorious recollections of difficulties and perils overcome during your long and brilliant career, and the consciousness of having deserved the gratitude of your country and the respect of posterity) may still be in store for you, and may e n a bl e t h at country still further to be indebted to you for the councils which expe rience, so hardly obtained, must enable you to furnish in the continued proaecuticn of her battle.. " Honour us, sir, by accepting this outward token of our esteem. It represents not the measure of your deserts nor our appreciation of your worth. " k olksetosie, Jas. 22, 1865." The address having been handed to Sir De Lacy Evans, The gallant OZNERAL said he could assure the gentle men forming the deputation, and the inhabitants of the district generally, that he felt most highly gratified at the compliment which had been paid to him. He believed that all men felt pleasure in visiting their home after an absence in foreign countries, particularly in critical time; and it certainly could not fail to afford him additional satisfaction to receive such a cordial welcome on the very spot where he had landed. He was self-complacent enough to know that the compliment was not intended for himself alone. bat that it was also an exemplification of feeling for the gallant army with which Le had the honour of serving. He had observed that great complaints were daily made of the management of the war, end it was asserted that the war had made but slow progress. Now, he begged to differ with many on that point. Hs did not consider, under the circumstances, that the progress of the war had been slow, and he was sure that the result would show the correct seas of his opinion. No such war as that in which they wore now engaged could possibly be finished in so short a time as some were unreasonablo enough to expect, par ticularly where such a country as England, with its small military strength, was nut the aggressor. England wu not a military power; and the aggressor in the present war was a very important military power, possessed of vast resources.—(bear) one who always maintained a very large army, sad was always prepared fur war, if not, in deed, for aggression. Hence, at the sadden outbreak of the present hostilities, England had not been prepared with a large standing army. It was impossible we could always have a perfect war establishment on a military scale. We had happily enjoyed 40 years of peace, and opinions would net admit of the contiaaed maintenance of • large standing army. He would recall to their minds the many military wars in which this country bad been engaged, and it would be found that the British forces seldom attained decisive success until at least • third campaign had set in. lie might instance the war which immediately followed the breaking out of the French Revolution. England was great and powerful as a commercial nation, and ho had no doubt that the present contest would be brought to a termination as de cisive in its results as it would be glorious to British arms* The army sent to the Crimea, though young, had vindi cated the honour or its country. There was no other army to send. It was young, but it had done its duty. Many mistakes in details had certainly occurred, but they had been the result of inexperience. No want of judgment, in his mind, had been evinced by any abet of that staff in which he had had the honour of Lolding an humble post. Some battles had been fought in which our army had gathered glory in alliance with the arms of France—an 'Liana be would pronounce the most devoted and loyal, and which the spirit of this mdrntry fully appreciated. lie again begged to return them his hest thanks ; and at the present moment he almost wished be was nut a soldier, as he might then have been a better orator. Having returned home, however, he was glad to find that Lis humble exer tions had been considered deserving of acknowledgment. sad again be thanked them from the bottom o f hi. heart. Mr. R. HART, one of the deputation, aft.r expressing the gnat satisfaction he Pest at once mere seeing the gallant general amongst them, asked ?emission to call his attention to the present condition of our army in tLe East. He was not desirous of drawing forth any espy iision of opinion which Sir De Lacy Evans, as so officer, might (eel desirous of withholding'; but the fact could mot be disguised, that notwithstanding the greet generosity of the po.pl• of these kingdom', the :way at present in the Crimea was in a most wretched condition. lie need only refer to etc.:unto which daily appeared in the public papers. Much &nub ty t slated In the public mind on this subject, and he trusted be was not cut of order in alluding to it in the presence of a gallant carter, who would, no doubt, at the proper time, take care that the truth was elucidated. Sir Di Laos EVANS observed that be had et late read Sway statements on the condition of the troops. It was stot his province, on that occasion, to enter into this quer ties; but he had no objection to say one thit g, and that was, that when he left head-quarters the army 'eta not is die perdition described in some report.. More he could net sq. lie would again remind them that at the coma:en:es meat of a war many mistakes generally took piece, and after 40 years' peace snob mistakes ought not to accession much surprise. lie would take this opportunity of saying that he fully appreciated the kind sympathy now so generously evinced by all classes for the army, and he had no doubt the course of conduct pursued by the people would be the forerunner of gnat results. The deputation thee retired. Sir I). Lacy Evans, though much improved since bis ar rival at the pavilion, is still in very imperfect health. The sword presented to Sir De Lacy bears the following inscription: Presented to Lieutenant-General Sir De Lel' Evans, K.C.8., id P., by the inhabitants of the united 'rough of Hythe, Folkestone, Sandpit', and adjacent parishes, in commemoration of the exhibited by him in the heights of Tcbernaya, ' 1 commemoration of the courage, devotion, and generosity exhibited by him in the memorable actions o/.4,leag. th e height: of Tchernaya, and Inkermson."
