What' are our people about that they sutler their - enemies .to make a mock of them, and to doubt their .very existence ? We can fancy the veteran MErrnnytert exclaiming, with a sneer, " Either they are talking, or pursuing, or in a journey, or, peradventure, they sleepeth, and must be awakened." Never had they so favour able an opportunity for asserting their principles and manifesting their power, and never in our recollection were they so apathetic. Since this War began they seem to have lost that zeal for liberty which formerly distinguished them. They have ceased to think and act for themselves, and have, with a blind credulity, to which we know no parallel, resigned themselves to the direction- of the Government of the day. We are satisfied that this apathy is but appa rent ; but to those whnlabour in their interest it is discouraging. 'The popUlar cause is'never safe apart from open, freqtient, and": decisive expres sions of public'opinion. • The people are false to themelves when they are silent on such great questions as are laid before them. It is for them to have a policy of their own, and to insist on its adoption. What have they not lost in times past by their neglect ! They have been powerless, because they believed themselves powerless, and have been made by turns the toys and tools of despotic power, because they would never rise to a sense of their own importance and a percep tion of their true interests. At the present day we expected, and we had a right to expect, something better. In this Country their will is irresistible—there is no force that can stand against it—and for this very reason states men are weak and Governments are vacillating when the popular voice is silent, or when it is expressed with uncertainty. Ministers, of their own motion, will do no more than they can help. They fear change—they bate disturbance of any kind. They must be impelled forward by pres sure from without, or they will stand still. It is vain to hope for large views or - generous senti ments from them. They are ready to catch them up when they pervade large masses of the people, and when it is tolerably certain that they_must ultimately triumph in some way or other, but they will never of themselves . originate a line of policy widely departin g from the beaten track, and calculated to effect a revo lution in the world, though the revolution may be essential to safety, and certain to produce the most beneficial results. Therefore, we say, the question we bring for ward is eminently a people's question. If they refuse to entertain it, drop it must. Professed politicians —m en who push their way by small arts of jobbery and intrigue—who in a humble station have caught some smiles of Ministerial favour, and picked up some crumbs of Ministerial patronage, and in a higher rank have dipped their hands deeply in the public purse and basked in the sunshine of Courts—these men will no more take up the question of their own will than the persecutors of GALILEO would admire his theory of the earth's revolution. Principles of policy are important to them only as they indicate a .win ning or a losing game. Let any principle be once taken up by the people in a manner which shows they are determined to carry it through, and the) will not want the support of both the creatures and the leaders of party. The Simple question for the people is whether they v4sh. the War. to be directed to the liberation of Eur Ope, or .to the rivettiug of its fetters. It the tyranny of Austria is left untouched the War against' Russia will avail nothing. Our victories Rill be bootless triumphs. The despotic principle ill escape from the contest unscathed, if it does not in file end rally, and by some daring con spiracy plot the destru c ti on of European fre e d om . , virs "implore our people .LO' regard the fads. Austria is next door- neighbour ;to Russia. A us t r i a . feels that her very existence as an empire dep en d s upon the despotism of her rule. -The ipulatiouof. Austria Proper is set down, in the official` re-' ports at two millions three hundred thousand. The population of her Italian provinces is uPwards of five naillions of. :Hungary upwards of tell millions, of Aitstrian Poland five millions more, while Slavoniau and German_zrovinces make up the remainder of Itlie,„thirt-five -• millions she boasts.,: : Thus . linzigary, and Poland con tuitute;inore than 'half of herqptire population.

Between her and the races she tempo r.arily keeps down by her bloody despotism an un dying animosity has been engendered. This feel.: ing is increasing in intensity, and Austria is so conscious, of it that her vigilance grows with the danger, and her rule becomes continually more arbitrary. Is this an empire to oppose an effee. teal barrier to Russian aggression ? Is it not evi d,ent that as respects principles of goverment her interests and those of Russia are the same ? Freedom in every shape must be equally hateful to both. They are allies by nature ; and while Austria guards the Russian frontier, the CZAR, safe from attack on the most vulnerable side of his empire —the side of Poland—will always be ' able to put forth enormous strength at the extre mities of his dominions. How different would be the position were Italy, Hungary, and Poland free, and Germany liberated from the dead weight of Austrian despotism. We do not speak now of the invigorating influ ences that would shoot through Europe, when the vivid genius of the Italian, and the chivalric nature of the Pole, and the highly ingenious and enterprising disposition of the Magyar, were once more animated by freedom, and were encouraged by its holy and exhilaratine breath, to fertilise countries which would then be their own, tb spread their language-4o enhance their prosperity —to multiply their numbers—to vivify those arts and pursuits for which they have peculiar apti tude, but which are now crushed by that prostra tion of spirit consequent on a degrading sense of brutal domination. We do not speak now of the bounding and elastic life which so great a change from bondage to liberty would diffuse through Europe—of the jealousies and restrictions it would extinguish for ever—of the new sources of trade and intercourse it would open to art—of the fellowship between States united by one great bond of free government it would produce. We do not speak of these things now (though never was there a time more favourable to the libera tion of oppressed races, and to their erection into independent States, from the solid establishment of principles of unrestricted commerce as most conducive to national prosperity), but we want to view the question' in a political light alone. Is it more for the security of Europe that the Austrian empire, constituted as it is, and perfidious as it has ever proved itself, should continue to exist, or that the order of nature should be restored, and that races should be called to the inestimable blessing of national independence, whose policy must be antagonistic to despotism, as fatal to their life, and favourable to the closest union with the free Governments of the West, as essen tial to their safety and welfare ? this is the question for our people. Do you prefer that that immense traot of country—fertile in the richest productions of nature—now known as the Austrian empire, should be under the rule of a despotism and in alliance with Russia, or that it should be under free and national Governments, and closely connected by bonds of interest and sentiment with the Western league ? We will not believe that our people can be indifferent on so momentous a matter, nor shall our pen cease its appeals to them till they return us some direct response. The great NAPOLEON, when pining in St. He lena, and standing on that threshold of both worlds, whence, according to the poet, an intel lectual view is most wide and piercing, foresaw the danger which menaced Europe, and predicted the shape it would assume, and the time when it would occur, with wonderful exactitude. In CVMEARA.'s 4 ‘ Voice from • St.-Helena," we find that he said in 1817 : " in about thirty-five years the Russians will either invade India or enter Europe with a hundred thousand Cossacks, and two hundred thousand Russians. Russia must either fall or aggrandise herself." The nunibers are, perhaps, very nearly those which Russia has at present in the field against the Allies. What follows is yet more memo rable : "In the natural course of things, in a few years Tur key must fall to Russia. The Powers it would injure, and who would oppose it, are England, France, Prussia, and Austria. Now as to Austria, it will be very easy for Russia to engage her assistance by giving her Servia. and other provinces bordering upon the Austrian do minions, reaching near to Constantinople. "The. only hypothesis that England and France may ever be allied in sincerity will bein order to prevent this." Is not the man who could thus far foresee so ex actly the course of events entitled to some cre dence for predictions not yet fulfilled,?,, The sentence following that above is the most impor tant of all : " But even, this alliance would not avail. France, England, and Prussia united cannot prevent it. RUSSIA AND AUSTRIA CAN AT ANY TIME EFFECT IT.'.' This is the conjuncture .we have to dread. Events are fast hastening to the consummation NAPOLEON foresaw. Austria and Russia are drawing together. They calculate on the effect which a War void of decisive results, and waged on no principle, except it be to support the old status quo, and to maintain despotism unimpaired —must have in wearying the popular spirit of France and England. When this has been ac complished, then will be' the time to strike the world with terror by an Austrian and Russian alliance for the partition of Turkey. The first step has been taken by Austria's military occu pation of the Principalities. Who, looking fairly at the facts, can doubt the imminence of the danger ? How is the full com pletion of NAPOLEON'S prophecy to be averted ? We answer unhesitatingly by the immediate pre sence of the Allied flags in the harbours of Venice and Trieste, and by Austria receiving a peremp tory summons to evacuate the territories she has too long usurped. The complete and speedy demolition of " the Gibraltar of the m North," as Sweabor has been arrogantly a designated. by Muscovit e an d p ro Muscovite writers —the overthrow of its quasi impregnable •fortifications,. without the loss of a single life or a single vessel to the assailant s must Baltic c on a grheoal at the in prove how completely the sa'aiat R u • ' lusrt Government the Gulf of Finland std th e mercy of the Allied squadron s , has only to will it, and the " standing m enaces ', to the Scandinavian nations, the sources of Rus sian influence with the Northern Powers, w in be numbered with the past.

But there must be no delay nor procrastination. The time for nego tiation has gone by, that for action—incessant, indefatigable action—has arrived. The success must be not only steadily but rapidly followed up ; and the Governments of England and France must show their unflinching determina tion to spare no efforts to support the operations of the Fleet, and to render their achievements corn pletely decisive as to the War. It may not be pleasing to' Prussia that we should do so. Austria may, be astonished at our proceeding so rapidly while she is willing to mediate. But it is the course that will induce them really to strive to bring about a permanent and honourable settle ment of the disputed questions, however distaste ful to Russia, and diametrically opposed by the , traditional policy inaugurated by PETER, and fol lowed by CATHERINE, and Amara ER, and NICHOLAS From the situation of Sweaborg it was manifest that it could only be attacked from the sea-6--that no land forces could possibly co-operate in the on slaught. It consisted of a number of small rocky islands, strongly fortified, and communicating by bridges or galleries the one with the other. The Russian Fleet lay in the heart of this series of forts protected on every side. That fleet was, however, transferred to Cronstadt, where it re mains as a portion, of the prize for the additional work of the fleet. Sweaborg was also the defence of Helsingfors. The only channel by which the capital of Finland, the emporium of the trade of Northern Russia, could be approached, lay directly within the range of its 800 guns of heavy calibre. So that, in fact, until Sweaborg was dis mantled, and its fire silenced, nothing could be even attempted against Helsingfors. The protec tion, however, is withdrawn. It now lies at the mercy of our Fleet. It is for the Admiral to de cide whether' to strike sr to spare, and we cannot for a - moment doubt his determination. The policy that spared Odessa to be the scourge of our troops in the Crimea, to endanger their existence and the whole objects of the War, cannot be so perversely pursued, as to act as a protection to Helsingfors, now that Sweaborg has been demo lished. The course adopted towards Helsingfors will probably decide the policy of the Scandi navian Powers, and render- the Swedes, Norwe gians, and Danes either firm friends and faithful allies, or worse than doubtful neutrals. It is an important element in the calculation that must decide our course of action in the Gulf of Finland. It is more than probable that Helsingfors has al ready been bombarded ; and if so, that it has been demolished. Day by day we may look for this cheering and satisfactory intelligence, which will prove the earnestness of our Government. But when that has been accomplished—what next ? There is still more to be done. The Russian fleet still skulks securely under Cronstadt. It must be destroyed in its fancied shelter. And it can be so. Sweaborg and Helsingfors will then no longer exist to threaten the Allied Fleets, in the event of any unanticipated reverse. They will be completely our own, to act as places for refit ting any casualties—a source of strength instead of weakness, a cause for confidence instead of terror. The mortar-vessels and gun-boats may, as we have already said, run down the coast of Finland, and take Cronstadt in the rear. That is the vulnerable point—the heel of the Northern ACHILLES. Thence can the fleet be destroyed, while the men-of-war watch in front to deal with any sortie on which they may venture. Nor need the bombardment be, restricted to a single point. The iron shower may be hurled from every side and on every position, perplexing and terrifying the panic-stricken foe. It is there that the co operation of land troops would be peculiarly valu able. They could land in the rear, at the "vul nerable spot," where an onslaught has never been thought of. We have seen the vast importance of such aid at Bomarsund, but it would lead to even more astonishing results at Cronstadt—the proper point of attack being selected. A land force, with every facility for transit from place to place, would be of immense value. Twenty or thirty thousand men, who could be landed at any point, would create work for five times their number of Russians, who could not tell where the impend ing blow might fall. The men could easily be found. If England could not spare them they could be obtained from France. Our faithful ally would rejoice to participate in that which would, indeed, be a " heavy blow and great discouragement to Russia." A single word to the Emperor NAPOLEON, and any num ber of trained soldiers will be forthcoming. Let that word be spoken. A golden opportunity is at hand. Our dearly-beloved SOVEREIGN will soon be accepting his hospitalities ; she will be at tended by many of her Ministers ; and the deci sion may be arrived at within a few hours which will crush the aggressive propensities of Russia, and produce a glorious and permanent peace, which it will be beyond the power of the auto cratic brigand to disturb or endanger. Whatever may be thought of the leadership of such individuals as Messrs. COLLETT, HART, GEORGE THOMPSON, late of Tower Hamlets, Davin URQUHART, PA SSMORE EDWARDS, WASHINGTON Wildcs, and others, most of whose names are un known beyond the precincts of the Peace Society's committee room, their tactics are worthy of atten tion. In one point they are agreed—" Down with Lord PALMERSTON ;" in another the men who chiefly pull the wires are also agreed, to put a wet blanket over the War, and to extinguish it as soon as they can. The truth, which gives plausibility to their language, is that which Mr. PUNCH has pictured for us this week ; and if these gentlemen want a flag to hang from Their committee-room window, the best device will be the "Ministerial White bait Dinner," and the best motto that which appears beneath it, " I shay, ole Fellah— what a jolly lot of humbugs we are." We have ourselves never concealed our belief that Lord PALRSIESTON is too much of an aristocrat himself, and too much at the mercy of secret,failed to but overbearing German influence, to carry coat, twentyen the W ar w i t h rea l v i gour. W e have never demand definition in the pla c e o f th a t wearisome e antph ra3e ; but catch Lord PALMER STON in a definition ! H e so ld P o l an d, t o our pre sent in the Russi years ago; he quietly a cqu i esce d a f n ter eo havin g gst teasedof Hungary, only a onl l y itt t l h e e other day, a without meanin g th e least harm to the sacred , cause of despotism; to both of which delinquencies ,we owe the burdens and losses of this War. This inconvenient truth is now brought to the surface. I t was whispered when PALMERSTON first came • i n , but pdpular hopes made it useles s to attempt working it then. Now, however, after o s l a d fe co a u n r d se h o o f no sp u a r r a i i i :lge time has shrill that his Lordship c an talk of a c n a d n Russia, vigour, now laugh at—the which even Ivrinisterial papers ;dm, c c l a o i n m t n about e a peace, and xo t accept as its basis the Four Points ELSTOY,.I. time is comb so me think, covertly to attack the War througi . the;sides of F:.1: • is difficult indeed,. eren-for u; to- impugn • - the premises of the resolutiont'which were carried by meetin►s of seven or eight thousand persons at Birmingham, and by no despicable numbers in St. Martin's-hall. Thousands of hearty &fonds of the oppressed nationalities were there ; the' sen timents most enthusiastically applauded are proof of that ; in one meeting at Kennington, both am resolution and the amendment were heartily car- i tied. The peace men are in this way makinc , use of the War men practically in favour of Russia, just as the Squires used the Chartists against the Anti-Corn-Law League. The trick is a clever one. How are we to escape the dilemma they put us in ? You wish Poland to be restored, they say, and you want a Polish Legion to be raised, hoping it will be the inauguration of the desired deed of justice ; but, they ask, do you believe Lord PALUERSTON and Prince ALBERT will ever allow the restoration of Poland ? While a German Prince must be the virtual Prime Mi nister of the day, can the constitutional Prime Minister consent that Poland shall be free ? In other words, can he consent to the release of German potentates from the Russian Protecto rate? and to beloved " Preussen and Oesterreich" losing their little mouthsful of Poland ? We are compelled to shake our heads. Hence they wind up Would you then raise an unhappy 'Polish Legion merely to shed its blood in fighting for those liberties for others of which they are never to taste them- selves ? The questioners seem to have no flaw in their arguments ; yet we are satisfied they are practically wrong. The error is precisely that against which they inveigh. Do not; they exclaim, put the Polish Legion into hands which will use it for their own purposes only ! We reply, do not, you friends of Poland, , put yourselves into the hands of the friends of Russia ! The Peace-at-any-price party, and the pr4-Russian party are using.you for their unworthy objects. No benefit to the Poles can re sult from tie course into which the peace men would dupe you. That is certain. They do not wish it should. What care they about Poland ? She grows . no cotton for Manchester, and her slavery is a great " honour" to the honourable nation, for `whose undiminished honour the ABER DEENITES aid RIISSELLITES are SO sensitive. COiD cidence with such men ought to make friends of Poland suspect themselves in the wrong. We hold, therefore, to thorough-going honesty. Demand distinctly all that is right for the junc ture. It is right, and acknowledged by those who have lately met, that Poland should be free ; right that it should be the bulwark of Europe against the:vaunted but odious barbarism of Rus sia ; right that Poles of all men on earth should enlist under every banner unfurled against Russia or Austria ; the brave BEM and scores of noble Poles have !verified this. Even if they recovered not their fatherland it would be right for them to join in every attempt to humble its wicked oppres sor ; it is right that Russia should lose the ser vices of the: 200,000 Poles whom she has forced into her arnaies, and that the cause of European independence' should have their aid. All thiS is unquestionably right ; but a second thing is also right, that this patriot aid, and the whole con duct of the War, should be in thoroughly trust worthy hands. Then demand this also. Separate not what in this contest GOD has joined together. Poland abrbad, and men at home who care for nationalities, not for crowns, are the two things wanted. Let every meeting insist on both. If Lord PALMERSTON can't be trusted, then, in the name of jUstice, turn hiui out. We, at least, shall not wciep. We believe he could do all we require—if he would. That he will, or that he will be allowed, if he would, we much more than doubt. What, then, is the one thing wanted ? We reply, for the nation to awake and do its duty. ABERDEEN and his coterie have failed--PA.LNER STON and his Whigs have failed—Lord JOHN and the visitors at Chesham-place have failed—Lord DERBY, in ;opposition, has failed---"the House of Commons has failed. Are we then helpless be yond the little charmed circle ? Are there none among us who in office would " screw up their courage to , the sticking-place, and' would not fail ?" All England knows the contrary. The country denounces routine. Why, it is.. the country's otvn tolerance of routine in selecting a Cabinet which is the immediate cause of all that has gone wrong. Base foreign policy, and shamefully wasteful administration are both clue to this one cause. We would warn Lord PALMERSTON, meantime, that his delicacy to Austria and to Russia may be continued too long. Although cunning men are prompting the people to close the War because PALMERSTON will neither turn out nor do the people's work, that silly trick cannot mis lead honest Englishmen long. They will never consent to a shabby winding-up. They will think it infinitely more reasonable to reject any Minister than to reject a Polish Legion. Were England polled to-morrow for Poland or PALMER SION, the result of the ballot would shake the throne of every European despot—PALmEnsroN himself would vanish for ever.

About 400 prisoners have been taken, The loss on the side of the Allies is very smal Further particulars will be sent. LATEST NEWS. THE BALTIC FLEET. DANTZIO, AUGUST 16, 8 r. The Vulture has arrived with the mails. The Allierisquadrons returned to Nargen from Sweaborg on the 13th. The success at Sweaborg is fully confirmed. No ships have been seriously injured. The casualties on the English side are—killed, none ; two officers and about 30 men wounded. The French los, is equally trifling. PARIS, FRIDAY. The most important item in the news from Turkey is that a strong Russian division is march ing on Erzeroum, and that all the disposable Turkish forces in Anatolia are hastening towards the same place. General Canrobert has arrived. THE INDIA MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING. The screw steam-transport .Alster arrived at this port this morning from the Black Sea, bringing with her the heavy portion of the India mails, for some days overdue, by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Sultan. The delay of tho Sultan is caused by having broken a crank pin when nearing Gibraltar, and as it required some little time to repair, the mails were forwarded by this conveyance. The Sultan was expected to leave Gibraltar for Southampton to-day, and has on board 67 passengers, and an average amount of oargo.

She brought Generals Canrobert and Saucier, and 200 invalids from the Crimea. Some of them were badly wounded, and were conveyed to the military hospital on stretchers. General Canrobert remained in his private cabin until the few persons who assembled to see the pas sengers land had dispersed. He then stepped ashore, the Indus having been moored to the quay. Having declined all military honours, he drove to the Hotel des Empereurs, where he breakfasted in the public coffee-room: He appeared cheerful, and in much better health than one might expect from his long stay in the Crimea and his severe winter campaign.

The bill in ques tion will be presented to the Legislative Body at its next session, but the Minister of War has been authorised to augment provisionally such pensions with the funds of which he disposes, and which come from national subscriptions."

Haussmann, the Prefect of the Seine, proposed the health of the Emperor in the follow iug terms:— , " Gentlemen,—ln the name of the Municipal Body of Paris, I have the honour of proposing the health of the Emperor Napoleon 111. Every year that passes over seems to add to the bonds of confidence and devotedness which so closely unite the country t) the Emperor. (Loud marks of assent.) As for us, gentlemen, in pro portion as we advance in the accomplishment of the vast designs conceived by his Majesty, in order to make Paris a capital worthy of France, we are more and more deeply penetrated with gratitude for the august initiative, the happy effects of which excite at once the pride of our fellow-citizens and the astonishment of foreigners. (Loud applause.) Vive l'Empereur. After a unanimous burst of acclamation the Pre fect continued : " Gentlemen,—We unite to the Emperor in our senti ments, and we never separate from him in the expression of our wishes, her Majesty the Empress, his august and gracious companion, Vive l'lmperatrice." This toast, which was delivered in an emphatic manner, was followed by unanimous cries of Viva .Empereur ! Vive Imperatrice ! " For some days past," says the Courrier de la Drome, " from 1,500 to 2,000 soldiers have been daily conveyed from Lyons to Marseilles. These troops form part of the contingent of from 20,000 to 30,000 men who are before the end of the month to embark at the Southern ports for the East. It is said that these troops are in tendedlfor the camps of Maslak and of Varna, but every thing of course will be subordinate to the grand military action which is every day expected at Sebastool." " The sawi ng - m ill s o f the Doubs and Jura," says the Saint Public of Lyons, " are at present busily employed in preparing a large quantity of planks for the army of the East, probably in anticipation of a further supply of wooden huts for the winter. One of the Rhone steamer carried to Marseilles on Tuesday a full cargo of planks ready arranged to be carried out to the East. na same day, 1,200 barrels of gunpowder were forwarded from Lyons to Marseilles by railway, and as much had been sent there two days before. As to bombs and other projectiles the quantities lately despatched from Lyons have been immense." BOURSE, AUG. 16.—CLOSING PRICES. Cash. fr. c.

After the publication of this letter tht Ambassadors of Austria, Prussia, and Bavari , went in a body to the President of the Council, and gave him to understand that if M. Kalergi re mained in the Ministry they would be obliged to interrupt their official relations witk the Greek Government. M. Mavrocordato, it is said, shrugged up his shoulders, and observed that M. Kalergi's behaviour was unseemly. The Ambas sador of Austria interrupted him, saying that he used too mild a term, and that the proper word was impudent. The Bavarian Ambassador declared that if Kalergi were not removed from the Ministry he would feel it his duty, as the representative of the House of Wittelsbach, to demand satisfaction for an offence to a mem ber of that house. A steamer was immediately despatched to Stylida for the Ambassador of France, who was in the province cf Phthyotis. The King sent word to M. Mavrocordato that M.

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 12.—The Danish Chambers assembled yesterday at noon, in the Palace of Christiansborg, according to the Royal summons. They are called together in an extraordinary ses sion, for a special purpose, to consent to the pro. poral of the Crown to modify the Fundamental .Law or Constitution of the Monarchy of the sth of June, 1849, and to decide whether such modifica tions shall come into legal operation at the same time as the Ministerial plan of a form of Govern ment for the "whole kingdom." There was a full attendance of members, and the portion of the ball allotted to the public was crowded. The proceedings, however, were merely formal. At 1 o'clock th e Ministers entered the hall in full State uniform, and, having taken their places in front of the Throne, the Premier, M. Bang, read the Royal res cr i p t b y w hi c h th e Legis lature was summoned. It was a brief document, stating the purpose for which the extraordinary session is hold as above given, and authorising th e Minister to open it i n th Royal name. Nine hearty cheers were then given by the members for the King, and three more for the " Constitution." The Second Chamber then proceeded to the preli minary business of choosing a president, vice-pre sidents, secretary, dTc., and examining the validity of the several elections, dividing itself into four bureaux for that purpose. M. Rotwitt was elected president for a month, and M. Monrad (by whom the present constitution was drawn up) and M. Broberg, vice-presidents. In this last election 82 votes were given, of which M. Monrad received 73, M. Broberg 42, M. Scbovelin 32, and M. Tscherning 10. A letter from Vienna, in the Post Anipt Gccette, says :—" In consequence of the acts of brigandage which have been renewed on the frontier of Monte negro, the Austrian Government has charged Ge neral Mamula to signify to Prince Danilo that the very first time that similar acts are repeated, Aus tria will seriously interfere. The general was to make known to the Prince that Austria was desir ous for the prosperity of Montenegro, but that she could not see with indifference the f..essant re newal of those scenes of misconduct." A letter from Rassowa states that the English were displaying great activity in the construction of a military road from that p'ace to Kustendje. It was thought that the establishment of this road foreboded a campaign of the allies on the Danube. 'he German, journal, of Frankfort contains a efter from Berlin, which states that, according to the latest arrangements, the King and Queen of Prussia were to return to Potsdam on the 18th, and were to proceed to Konigsberg on the 25th with a numerous suite,
