Vice-Admiral La Susse is recalled from the com mand of the French fleet in the Mediterranean, and Vice-Admiral Hamelin is appointed in his stead. The Duke and Duchess of Alba (the latter a sister of the Empress) are at St. Cloud, on a visit to their Imperial Majesties. The Emperor and Empress, accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Alba, will visit the camp at Satory this day (Thu►sday), when the troops will be reviewed, the Emperor himself taking the command. Several Ministerial modifica tions are in contemplation. The Ministry of Public Instruction will be done away with. Veli Pasha, the Turkish Minister in Paris, assisted at a soi►Ye, where M. Kisselef, the Russian Ambassador, was pre sent. The former addressed to the latter some polite expressions of his hopes that a war between their respective countries might yet be averted. M. Kis ►+clef replied, that in private life it happened that sometimes a duel became imperative on the honour of an individual, and he considered his country to be nationally placed in the same unavoidable predica ment. M. Hubner, the Austrian Minister, is amiably pacific in his conversation, but, no great hopes are entertained of the success of Austrian mediation. Several French officers left Paris yesterday for C hob ham camp,—the General of Brigade, the Duke de Montebello, Aide-de-Camp of the Emperor; (Chef d'Escadron) iteille, Aide -de - Camp to the Minister at War; a colonel of infantry, and a captain of the artillery. The arrival of these officers is officially announced to the British authorities. A decree pub lished in the Monitir this morning grants to the soldiers the favour of purchasing their tobacco at the reduced price of If. 50c. per kilogramme (•lhs.), which will be very gratefully felt by them. It is a curious fact that the Emperor, in the midst of his important and multifarious occupations, still finds time to retonch—ahnost rewrite—his former literary productions : the proof-sheets are now preparing, and the works will appear in their new form in a few months. The Emperor, on the report of the Minister of Public Instrnetion, has deemed that, with the eon sent of the bishop, pensions may be conferred On old or infirm priests of more than thirty years' standing. A subvention of five million francs is appropriated to this purpose. Since the alo►lition of the tieneral Ministry of Police, a separate and special bureau for affairs re lating to the press is to be established in the Depart ment of Public Safety. The principal editors of tl►e Paris journals hail an interview on Tuesday, by special invitation. with the Minister of the Interior, who communicated officially the fart that the tiovennnent were friendly to an un restricted liberty of the press, although it had been found necessary to limit its freedom while passing through the crisis in which the very existence of so ciety hail been threatened. As the country, however, abandoned its pernicious doctrines, and assumed a more healthful tone, all severe restraints upon the press would be removed, and the nation allowed a free expression of public opinion. Plit:>SlA. A recent Papal bull, addressed to the Roman Ca tholic episcopacy of Pruosio, directed that assent ,I 4 .~, - - -• THE PRESS. should be refused to all mixed marriages of Hon- Catholics with Catholics, unless oaths should be taken by the contracting parties, before a Catholic priest, that all issue of the marriage should be brought up in the Homan Catholic faith. This usurpation has produced a sentiment of the most profound indigna tion amongst the highest Prussian authorities. The Minister of War, General von Bonin, h as now , in th e King's name, issued a general order to the army and navy, in which it is stated that in case any officer should obey this act of Roman eneroa e hm ea t, an d take any such oath or pledge befgwe a catholic priest, he shall be forthwith dismissed the service as guilty of conduct unworthy of a man and an officer. The Zeit says that the giving of any such pledge, no matter by whom, is illegal, being an infraction of the law of the land relating to mixed marriages. AUSTRIA. The Count Karnieki, Austrian Charge d'Affaires in Switzerland, has left Vienna for Berne, and a Meetly and pacific settlement of the Swiss question is eX peet44l. The Band newspaper announces that the Austrian camp at tiallarate has been broken up, and that the bluets* of the Piedu 1111 l tese territory is about to be suspended. DENMARK. The t;oveniment bill for settling the success►on to the crown of Denmark was read a third time and passed by the Diet on Friday, the :4th. SWEDEN. The Swedish fleet of evolution at present in the Baltic is composed of 1 ship of the line,l frigate, 1 corvette, anal 1 brig. The Government has taken a stop of some interest to British shipbuilders. It has allowed, (hiring the rest. of this year anal the whole of next year, the im portation into Sweden of ready-built vessels of limo tons anal upwards, on payment of the minced duty of 10 per cent. on the actual purchase money, and a small sum on the tacklage aml sailcloth. SPAIN. The Madrid Gatti of the '!!el ultimo contains Royal decrees aceepting the resignation by M. Ber mudez do Castro of the Ministry of Finance, appoint ing M. Louis Lastor his successor, anti naming M. Calderon do hi Itarea anal M. Movano Minister of Foreign Affairs and Public Works. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. At the dates of the latest *dykes the warlike preparations on both sides were proceeding with much energy, but no hostile movement of any kind had been accomplished. On the Russian frontier, Jassy, in Moldavia, is matte the centre of the military force, and nearly 100,000 men were shortly to be concentrated around that place. At the same time that Count Nesselrode sent his circular of the 11th to the ambassadors, couriers were despatched to Jassy and Bucharest ordering preparations to be made for immediate movement in ease the lust ultimatum was refused by the Porte. That refusal had now been definitively given, and, though rumours that the principalities are already entered have been current in Vienna, it is believed that no actual step will be taken on the frontiers without a further inter change of communications between Constantinople and St. Petersburg. The European Consul at Jassy had nevertheless received a message on the 19th front the reigning Prince of Moldavia, intimating that official intelli gence had reached him of the speedy entrance of the Russian troops. The Salina mouth of the Danube had only seven and a half feet of water, although elsewhere the river was full, and at some points overflowing. Steam communication between Galati. and Constantinople was cut oft. Two hundred vessels laden with grain were unable to get away. It is said that the Russians had sunk several ls►ats helen with stones in the canal of Salina, in order to stop the navigation of the Danube. Letters from Constantinople state that if the Russians should enter the principalities the Porte will not oppose that measure by force of arms. It will merely protest in the fare of all Europe, and refuse to negotiate as long as its territory is violated. The answer to the ultimatum which was given in on the 16th of June is drawn up in clear and concise tenns, rejecting the pretensions of Russia, and ac. (pitting the consequences of an appeal to arms. It was to have been communicated to Prince Menschi koff at Odessa on the 111th. The Porte, previous to coming to a decision, duly informed Lord Stratford and M. La Cour, and acted at their unbiassed insti gation and connivance. on the Turkish side the annaments prlgress rapidly. The Dardanelles, and the forts of the Rlaek Sea and the llosphonts, have been greatly strengthened. Six camps, of 15,000 men cad., are being formed ; viz. ' one at Constantinople, one at .Weittimple, one at Ilitstelink, one at Shinnla, one at Erzeroom, and one at Konich. The Seraskier, Meh met Ali Paella, will command the first, Mehmet l'acha the second, Omer I'acha the third and fourth, and Vaasa Poch& the tiftl► and sixth. The artillery is placed under the command of Kerim Paella; and Mimes, Pacha and Mussa Paella, two generals of distinction, with a numerous staff of officers and en gineers, will take charge of Varna and the other strongholds on the ltumelian coast of the Black Sea. Haul Paella went off a few days since to visit the various ports capable of defence. Though the feast, of the Ramazan had commenced, the works had suf fered no The th et is concentrated at the northern extremity of the Itosphorns, from Therapia to the Black Sea. It is composed of 35 ships, two of them three deckers, three two-deckers, ten frigates, four cor vettes, eight brigs, and eight steamers, four of which are of large dimensions. This force will be increased by ships recalled from different stations, and by eight others which are in course of equipment in the arsenal. An embargo was laid on every Turkish vessel in the port of Constantinople, and a large supply of ex cellent seamen was in this way obtained, as every craft had to furnish a certain number of men. That matter being settled, the embargo was removed. on the 14th ult. the French fleet left its anchorage at Tenedos to join that of England in liesika Bay. The combined fleet now comprises the billowing vessels : Burrisn.—Ships of the Line : Britannia, dig-ship of Vice-Admiral Ihne 120 guns ; Trafalgar, 120; Albion, 90 ; Rodury, IN); Vengeance, s 4 ; Bellero phon, 78.—Frigate Arethua►, ;►lt gnus.—Steam-Fri gates: Retribution, •l$ guus; Sampson, 10; Fire• brand, II ; Tiger, 111.—Steam-lunettes : Niger, DI guns; Furious, III; Fury, 0 ; Inflexible,o; 11'asp,14; Modesto, Is.—Sterun-l'oeket Curadoc, 2 guns.— Total, Is vessels ; 170 guns.

In addition to these squadrons, there ware at anchor in Ilesika Bay a Dutch frigate, an American frigate, a Swedish brig, two Austrian corvettes, a Spanish and a Neapolitan galliot. An ambassador trout the King of Persia had been sent to offer to the Sultan his alliance and the assist ance of his anny against Russia. A dreadful tire broke out in Constantinople on the night of the Llth, Fuel, notwithstanding the exertions, of the firemen, about forty-three houses were con sumed. The Government of King Otho ham decided on arming three men-of-war, to he employed for the protection of Greek retttiects in the Levant, in c ane of the occurrence of hostilitica.

THE Duchess of Montrose's ball, given on Friday week, at whichthe King and Queen of Ilanover, the Duchesses of Cambridge and Meckhzburg, and the Princess Mary were present, was a very• brilliant affair. It was, indeed, a ball of a class rather unu sual in this country, inasmuch as it seems to have bus's intended for the diversion of married as well as• of nn►iuirried ladies. Supper Was served at round tables instead of in the buffet fashiiin, and all the invited seemed much pleased. The only drawback was the accidental ignition of a window-curtain in the front drawing-room, which, through the exertions of Count lientevoglio and another gentleman, waa• promptly extinguished. on Monday Lady Exeter's first ball in Grosvenor square was honoured by the presence of royalty. A staircase, ingeniously constructed, outside the house, much facilitated ingress and egress to the dancing rooms, which, from the numerous attendance of dis tinguished and general company, might otherwise have been inconveniently thronged. - =
