Al l ‘rft 0 iy,43 W . 7, N.-Tien; ;mil k \ '.1.1t01 eltentuA LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1849. A literary criticism, or rather, we should say, a m?rely passing critical notice, consisting of scarcely twelve lines, and containing only four brief, though we must confess somewhat emphatic, sentences—has elicited a communication from the editor of M. Louts BLANC'S journal, "The New World," the introductory number of which has only very recently been pub lished. In another column of this evening's impres sion of The Sun will be found the letter addressed to ourselves by M. F. R. TREHONNAIS, in reference to our notice of the new periodical edited by himself, Enci produced under the immediate inspection of the author of the Organizationdu Travail. It will be ob served from that epistle that our correspondent, after an exordium which conceals no very inconsiderable amount of spleen under a very large amount of flip pancy, impugns our remarks upon " The New World," as being characterised by a want of truth fulness. In commenting (on Friday the 3d instant) on the appearance of this Socialist publication, written in French by M. BLANC, and translated into English by M. TREHONNAI3, we observed that the very first number then before us contained " a ferocious attack on Order, Family, and Property." This assertion, ac cording to our correspondent, is grossly inaccurate, for, says he, M. Louis Bwaisc has inscribed the names :,.of Order, Family, and Property on his banner "as the watchwords of the social reform he advocates." We stand corrected. M. Louis BLANC is the champion of Order, of Family, and of Property. He has in scribed their names on his political gonfalon. His new journal is a testimony that his efforts are for their preservation, that his sentiments towards them SVC° those of reverence. Listen to him in proof of this —it is at page 11 of his Monthly Review that he speaks as follows : "In truth, when I see placing in opposition, on the one hand, Socialism, and on the other Order, Family, and Property, I am astounded at so much insanity, and my heart is divided in pity which ignorance inspires, and disdain which dis honesty deserves !" Yes ! certainly, M. Louts BLANC is the champion of Order, Family, and Property. He is the champion of Order ! Witness it his share in the invasion of the National Assembly in May !—witness it his par ticipation, or, at least, his perceptible sympathy, with the insurgents of June, those diabolical defenders of the barricades, whose ferocity is remembered as the nightmare of civilization! M. Louis BLANC is the panegyrist and the conservator of Family ! Listen, in tes timony of this, to his strictures on the most sacred of all the ties of Family, the holy bond of wedlock ! " In one wort," says he, in his Monthly Review pages 8 and 9, No. 1., " What is matrimony in our times, that is under the sway of capital? If, in order to obtain a de finition, I open the code, there I find that matrimony is an association nearly s imilar to a joint-stock i commercial company; the cede in it s various dispositions nclines to consider matrimony as an es tablishment of a peculiar kind, of which the htnband is the manager. If I consult facts, I find that matrimony is alm ost alwa y s a bargain, a speculation, a means of making or e nlar g in g one's fortune, and, according to legal mode of expression, one of . the various ways (I acquiring property.

Louis BLANC is not only the respecter of Order, he is the lover of Family,—he is not only the lover of Family, he is the conservator of Property ! Yes ! M. Louis BLANC is the conservator of Property ! Behold, as tonelusive evidence of this his share in the violation THE ST3II, LONDOI% of the sanctity of the Constituent National Assembly 1 I in May, when BARnES proposed from the tribune of the desecrated Parliament of Republicanism, the tax i of fifteens milliard upon the ric h ! 0 y es ! M. Louis 1 BLANC is the upholder of the rights of Property, a s was evinced by his sympathy with the rebels ofJune— those aspirants for anarchy and worshippers of ter rorism who inscribed " Pilage 1" upon the blood-red flag reared upon the summit of the barricades. In regard to this sympathy of his with those insurgents, bear what is said by Mr. CoxxtAN in his " History of the Constituent National A ssembl y ,"— " Proceeding," says he, "to a resta urant for dinner, I found myself in close neighbour hood with Louis Blanc, and I confess that I felt my attention rivetted to him. That he was deeply compromised in this terrible Corn munist insurrection was, at least, generally suspected; that his doctrines and his intrigues had much to do with it, no one doubted; that he fully sympathised with the in surrection was undeniable. How far guilty or innocent, it was at least certain that, standing in the position he did, it required some hardihood on his part to sit down surrounded by National Guards whose comrades were lying wounded and dying in all directions, and make a hearty dinner, not without a fair share of good wine. The deep, concentrated look which he gave from time to time out of doors, when anything attracted attention might not have been easily interpreted; but the absence of sympathy with the defenders (gr or der was marked enough." —Hist. Constit. Assembly, Vol. 11., pp. 43 and 44. And the writer might have said, too, that his sym pathy failed in like manner to extend to the defenders of Property—for Property as well as Order was placed in jeopardy by that insurrection. Now henceforth we would recommend M. TEE HONNAIS to be more guarded in the manner of his ac cusations. For, when he asserts that the remarks made by an English journalist upon the periodical in question have been founded on " those abominable calumnies industriously circulated by M. Louis BLANC'S unrelenting enemies," he asserts what is altogether an impossibility. Our inductions are drawn from the writings of M. Louis BLANC himself, and we can assure that gentleman's translator that we are not accustomed in this country to draw our conclusions of any man's character, or of any man's principles, especially supposing that man to be 1 a refugee, from the panegyric of a toadeater, or from the slanders c.f an antagonist. As to our feelings in reference to M. Louts BLANC, we need only remind his apologist that we have already spoken (in the paragraph which has excited his ire) with befitting respect of the very great abilities of the historian cf the " Ten Years." Again, we would remind M. TREHONNAIS that, as English journalists, we are not accustomed to calumniate the writings of a foreigner, I and we may perhaps be permitted to add that The Sun is not generally known as a journal accustomed to assail the character, or to depreciate the interests of any refugee who is the recipient of the hospitable shelter afforded by our institutions. What we have said in regard to M. Louis BLANC we have proved to be justifiably said by words transcribed from his new periodical a publication which those very excerpts demonstrate to contain "a ferocious onslaught on Order, Family, and Property." Such, however, was what might have been anticipated by any one, and what was actually anticipated by ourselves. One thing, and one thing alone, has been to us matter of astonishment in regard to " LOUIS BLANC'S Monthly Review," and that is the circumstance that M. F. R. TREHONNAIS has been appointed its editor. Tbat M. LOUIS BLANC might require the services of a translator is but natural ; but that a man of such eminence in the world of letters shoukl condescend to allow any other man to edit his writings, more especially a man hitherto un known, like M. TREHONNAIS—is certainly a mat ter sufficient to excite our amazement. Of the evil effects of such an arrangement, however, or of the pernicious influence of the doctrines advanced in the pages of the "New World," we are not disposed to think with anything like feelings of trepidation— discrediting, as we do, the possibility of the journal getting in this country into - any circulation. The decision of Mr. BINGHAM, at Marlborough street, on Monday last, by which the Countess of LANSFELDT was ordered to find bail to the extent of 1,0001. sterling for her appearance on a future day to answer the charge of bigamy preferred against her, may, if permitted to pass unnoticed, establish a very dangerous preceaent. It is the especial duty of the metropolitan magistrates to protect her MAJESTY'S subjects against the unpleasant consequences arising from frivolous or vexatious accusations. Police magistrates have powers in some degree analogous to, although more extensive than those exercised by grand juries. They hold preliminary investigations, and unless the evidence adduced before them on the part of the prosecution be such as to establish a prima facie case of guilt, such as if unrebutted would justify a conviction, the party should be forthwitl , discharged from custody. They also possess an im portant privilege not conceded to grand juries. They are authorised to hear explanations given by, or evi dence on behalf of, the accused respecting the transaction, and, if such evidence should be satisfactory, to dismiss the charge, although a case of presumptive guilt had been established. These extensive powers are bestowed, and we are happy to say, are generally exercised in favorem libertatis, and the instances are of comparatively rare occurrence where persons have been committed for trial by experienced and duly qualified paid magis trates, without reasonable grounds being assigned for requiring them to answer for the alleged offences be fore juries of their countrymen. It is in consequence of the protection thus afforded that inquiries before grand juries in the metropolitan districts have been regarded as useless forms, and that a strong feeling has arisen in favour of their abolition. A. Bill will probably be introduced next session for that purpose, m hich should never be sanctioned unless it was ascertained that a more effectual safeguard would be afforded against vindictive prcceedings, by the inquiries before police magistrates, than exists under the present defective and objectionable system. It is, therefore, of paramount importance that magistrates ' should distinctly and positively discountenance specu lative proceedings, and refuse to grant warrants to arrest or to detain parties where sufficient evidence of legal guilt is not produced before them. Cases may undoubtedly arise where the presiding justice would be authorised to remand the parties for a reasonable time, when it had been distinctly and positively proved that a grave violation of the law had taken place, and that there were strong grounds for believing that the offence could be brought home to the accused by the testimony of witnesses who might be forthcoming within a brief period. But the power should be sparingly exercised, and never unless the commission of the offence had been clearly esta blished, and there were probable grounds for supposing, from the magnitude of the offence, the severity of the punishment that would attend a conviction, and the position of the accused, that justice might be defeated by his or her departure from the British dominions. But the general rule should be that no detention or remand should take place unless a grand jury would find a true bill on the evidence. No such bill could, however, be found in the present instance. In the first place, the evidence on behalf of the prosecution failed to show that there had been any violation of the law. It was not, nor could it be proved that Captain JAMES was living on the 17th day of July. The appearance of his name in the Army List, even after the marriage, would be insufficient. He might have been absent from his regiment for many months without any intelligence having been received respecting him ; he might have died long before his name would be erased from the effective list of the army. To justify even a remand, it should be proved that the former husband of the Countess was living on the 17th of July, and not that a person of the same name appeared in the Army List five weeks before the marriage. To require bail on such meagre and unsatisfactory evidence was to reverse the usual course, and to compel parties against whom no case had been established to pro duce evidence of their innocence, a proceeding preg nant with the most dangerous and pernicious conse \ L quences. But we contend that evcn if there had been the most satisfactory evidence of the existence of the former husband of this lady on the day of her subsequent marriage, no conviction could possibly take place. By the statute relating to bigamy (9 George IV., c. 31, s. 22) it is expressly provided, " that nothing herein contained shall extend to any person marrying a second time, whose husband or wife shall have been continually absent from such person for the space of seven years then last past, and shall not have been known by such person to have been living within th a t time, or shall extend to any person who, at the time of such second marriage, shall have been divorced from the bond of the first marriage." Now, it was proved by Captain INGRAM, on the part of the prosecution, that he had brought the lady home from India in the year 1841, nearly eight years previous to her recent marriage. During that long interval Captain JAMES had been " continually absent from her," and there was not a particle of proof, not even a suggestion, that there had been any communication whatsoever between them, or that she was aware of his existence from the period of their separation. On that ground, therefore, if the case were established in every other particular, an acquittal should necessarily take place, and the magistrate would, consequently, not be warranted in subjecting the lady to the expo sure and inconvenience of a public trial, or even of holding her to bail, when there could be no reasonable doubt of the result. Again a sentence of divorce a mensa et thoro, pro nounced by the Ecclesiastical Court in the year 1842, was produced on the part of the prosecution. Could a conviction be anticipated in the face of such evidence? How could a person totally ignorant of law be sup. posed to understand the nice distinction between a divorce a vinczdo matrimonio and one a mensa ct thoro She knew that the divorce was pronounced by a court of competent jurisdiction, that from that period every tie between her quondam partner and herself had been rent asunder—that they possessed no further claims upon each other. Could she then suppose that she was not perfectly free to enter into a second connexion ; or that, by so doing, she would trangress the law in any particular ? The felonious in tention a necessary ingredient in the offence — was altogether wanting, and, as according to the well known legal maxim recently quoted by a respected correspondent on this subject, intentzo facit reum, she should be acquitted on this ground also ; and, therefore, she should not have been held to bail where she gould bring forward so valid and satisfactory a defence. Mr. BINGHAM should have dismissed the charge then on three distinct grounds :-Ist, Because no evidence was adduced that her former husband was living at the time of the second marriage ; 2dly, Be cause it was proved that she had been continually absent from him for nearly eight years previous to the second marriage, and that there was not even a sug gestion that she had any communication with him, or knew him to be living within that time ; 3dly, That she had been divorced by a court of competent jurisdiction seven years previously, and could not have supposed that she was guilty of any crime in entering into a second marriage. One excuse, and one only, can be offered for Mr. BINGHAM (to whose general ability and efficiency in the discharge of his important duties we are happy to be enabled tolbear our testimony). The counsel for the f e fen dant actually requested that "his client should be admitted to bail," which he declared her readiness to perfect, in place of insisting upon her right to an im mediate and unconditional discharge. Mr. BINGHAM, therefore, perhaps felt himself justified in requiring the bail which he would not otherwise have thought of demanding. We feel, however, that notwithstand ing that extenuating circumstance, a dangerous pre cedent has been established, against which it is our duty to enter our earnest protest, especially as it is the more pernicious when created by so efficient a magistrate and sound a lawyer as Mr. BINGHAM. We trust, therefore, that Mr. HEALD and the Countess of LANSFELDT may appear within a brief space before the magistrate, and insist upon the case being either summarily dismissed or rent fur trial. Such a charge should not be permitted to remain sus pended over the parties for an indefinite period, or, according to the modest application of the counsel for the prosecution, " until the prosecutor can get the proper witnesses from India to come forward." Such a restriction upon the lady's freedom, prohibiting her from travelling or leaving the country, is mcst im proper, and should be resisted not only on private but on public grounds. If she comes forward an acquittal must take place; and she will thus be for ever freed from all annoyance on the subject. We cannot conclude without briefly noticing the rumour that the Marquis of LONDONDERRY has taken steps to recommend to her MAJESTY that Mr. E ,k 1,1 31 S resignation of his commission should be insisted on. We know not what may be the portion of the military code against which Mr. HEALD has offended. We could scarcely have suppo,ed that officers in her MAJESTY'S service were living under uch a despotism that they should be compelled to ,olicit permission to get married, or their colonel's approbation of their choice. We confess that the result of the recent court-martial on Captain DOUGLAS, to which we have repeatedly alluded, struck us with some astonish►uent, as show ing how precarious the position in which the most meritorious officer is placed, and how great are the facilities for bringing forward frivolous and vexatious charges ; but we could scarcely have imagined that tyranny could be carried to such an extent as to compel the resignation, and thus to inflict an indelible stain on the character of a young officer, without even the shadow of a charge being preferred against him. Such tyrannical and unconstitutional proceedings have the effect of bringing an honourable service into discredit and disrespute; they cannot, however, be tolerated much longer, and an obstinate persistance therein will excite the public indignation, and lead to the speedy establishment of a more judi cious and equitable system. UHE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Bill for raising the state of siege in Paris was adopted by the Assembly on Thursday, after an in effectual attempt on the part of M. SANTEYRA to induce the Assembly to raise the state of siege in Lyons also. The following Bill for sending before the High Court of Justice at Versailles the accused of the 13th of June, was then introduced by M. ODILON BARROT, and declared urgent : " Art. 1. The authors and accomplices of the con spiracy and attempt of the 13th June, against whom true bills have been found by the Court of Appeal of Paris, shall be sent before the High Court of Justice. " Art. 2. The High Court of Justice shall assemble at Versailles within two months after the promulgation of the present decree. "Art. 3.

The Keeper of the Seals is charged with the execution of the present bill." M. PASSY, the Minister of Finance, then presented the two following Bills, the first imposing an income tax of one per cent., the second imposing new stamp and legacy duties : FIRST BILL. " Art. 1. From Ist January, 1850, there shall be established a personal tax proportionate to the fortunes and means of the tax-payers. 'Phis tax shall bo imposed upon all the inhabitants who, by existing laws, are liable to the contribution of three days' labour. It shall be levied in the commune of the real domicile. " Art. 2. The personal tax shall be augmented by one tenth for every domestic attached to the service of the person, or the care of his house, without in any case the supplement exceeding 20f. for each domestic. " Art. 3. Every inhabitant liable to the tax must de clare to the secretary's department of the Marie, by him self or some one duly authorised, the amount of his in come of all kinds, and, when necessary, the number of his domestics. " Art. 4. In each commune a committee composed of the comptroller of the direct taxes, of the mayor, and of a citizen named by the prefect, shall rectify the declara tions which may be ascertained to be inexact, supply those which may not have been made, and draw up the schedule of the taxes to be paid. " Art. 5. The schedule shall be deposited for ten days in the secretary's department of the Marie, in order that the persons interested may examine it, and make to the mayor their observations on it. "Art. 6. The committee shall examine the observe tioni presented, and, after having made the modifications which they may think right, to transmit the schedule to the director of the direct taxes. " Art. 7. On the report of the director, the prefect shall settle tLe amount of the incomes, and fix the sum to be paid by the commune, on the basis of 1 per cent. " Art. 8.

No water is to be had, and the soldiers must drink the hot and cor rupted water which General HAYNAU carries along with his army. They mix it with v:negar to mzdre it drinkable. On their weary march they found, as yet, not a trace of the Hungarian army, and it is very doubtful whether that army will oppose them at Szegedin. But if the Hungarians were to attack and defeat General HAYNAU at Szegedin, the probability is that but few of the Imperialists would live to tell the fate of the battle, for the Landsturn would rise up in their rear and prevent their escape." It is doubtful whether AULICH or KLAPKA com manded at the taking of Raab, but it is certain that AULICH advancing from the Platteen See, and KLAPKA from Comorn, effected a junction at Raub. This is not the only victory which the garrison of Comorn has gained. On the 30th they made a sally, attacked General POIT'S brigade at Iletney, and drove him back to Neutra, and then attacking LIEBBER'S brigade, compelled him to retire to his retrenchments. Large bodies of Hungarians are in the neighbourhood of Gran, and hold constant communication with the Comorn garri son. The Comorn garrison consists of 15,000 men, the greater number of whom are under canvass. They are perfectly healthy, nod are abundantly sup , plic d with provisions of all sorts. _ _ The intelligence of BEM's victory over LuDERs, in Transylvania, is also confirmed. The number of wounded Russians was so great that FUAD EFFENDI, the Turkish Commissioner at Bucharest, on the ap plicatio❑ of the Russian authorities, dispatched a number of Turkish surgeons to aid in the treatment of the wounded. MONEY - and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY. QUARTER 2'o THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liv, rp.!ol yesterday were esti mated at 10,000 bales. '1 he nos rket was steedy, but firm.-11ailway Shales were firm, though but little busi ness was done. This week 73,000 bales of Cotton have been sold at Liverpool. The weekly statement, to the 4th instant, of the assets and liabilities of the' Bank of England confirms to the full extent all that has been said recently of the difficulty of employing money. The amount of notes out with the public was again smaller, and there was a reduction in the securities upon which advances are made. The private deposits were drawn upon, it is true, but this is natural after the accumulation of divi dend surpluses. When we hear of one party, the late Mr. Denison, being worth over twol millions sterling, we shall better comprehend how it is that there is such a constant accumulation of idle wealth in certain quarters, for it would be asurd to imagine that the cash portion of this property could ever be employed. Thus further we may understand how important have been the railway undertakings in affording a new outlet for such surpluses, otherwiie we should have been inundated with foreign loans that alwas entail a serious loss upon the country, and might have seen Con sols at 120 ere this.

The exports of the precious metals from London during the week to Thursday last amounted to 250 ounces in gold coin to Hamburgh, and 1001. to the Auckland Isles. Silver bars to Naples, 40,879 ounces, and to Holland and Belgium, 13,000 ounces. The accounts received to-day from the manufacturing districts are even more satisfactory than those which have reached us during the last two or three weeks. There is great activity in many departments, and at Manchester and Leeds a very decided tendency to im provement. The Stock Market is a little flatter this morning, chiefly owing to the paucity of business, and partly to the decline in the French I entes under the rumour of a new loan, and the certainty almost of an income-tax.

NET, aide-de-camp to the PRESIDENT of the Republic, left Paris for Rome on Thursday with dispatches recalling General OUDINOT. General ROSTOLON will take the command of the troops. The Putrie says— " Everybody remarked the absence of the Governor of the Invaliees (M. Jerome Bonaparte) from the funeral service of Marshal Molitor, Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour. M. Dupin, President of the Na -60/in! Assembly, could not fail to be painfully effected by it, like all the other persons present. He therefore thought it right to express his astonishment on this sub ject in the following words, addressed to General Petit on entering the chapel where the brave General received him:—` General Petit, you are at your post, but the governor is not, and this is the second time that he has been absent from the funeral obsequies of marshals.' Several representatives have reflected on this conduct of the governor, and have resolved to propose an amend ment on the approaching discussion of the budget of expenditure." The following resolutions, signed by 80 Members of the Left, have been laid on the table of the Legis lative Assembly :—" The French Republic recognises the independence and the nationality of Hungary. The Executive Government will adopt such measures as are necessary to secure the integrity of the Hun garian territory against all foreign intervention and invasion."

There is an increase in bills discounted, and the credit to the Treasury continues to augment, both favourable signs, so far as they go. The Siècle says :—" The following note, on which the Government cannot refuse to give some ex planation, has been communicated to us :—' M. CHARLES BLIND, one of the two diplomatic agents sent by the insurrectional Government of Baden and the Palatinate on a mission to the French Govern ment, is still a prisoner at La Force. In spite of his character as diplomatic envoy, it has been sought to implicate him in the affair of June 13, in order to colour with a plausible pretext a detention which would be otherwise unjustifiable. M. BLIND has un dergone two interrogatories, the particulars of which are now in the hands of the Procureur of the Re public. It will be impossible, it is affirmed to us, to bring him to trial, as no fact can be alleged against him. M. BLIND is nevertheless kept in prison, and treated with extreme rigour.' " PARIS BOURSE, AVG. 10. THREE o'CLocK.—The introduction of the Bill impos ing a tax upon income, and one laying a duty on the transfer of the public funds in certain cases, had an un favourable effect on the funds today.

The intelligence which we gave yesterday of the capture of Raab by the Hungarians is fully confirmed, and this victory is of even greater importance than had at first been supposed. The Hungarians have by the capture of Raab got possession of the whole of the commissariat stores of the Imperial army, and have removed them to Comorn, and the armies of PASKIEWITCH and HAYNAu will be starved before it will be possible to replace them. A letter from Presburg, written by a partisan of the Imperialists, gives the following description of the capture of Raab :—" So sudden was the approach of the Hun garians upon Raab that the Imperialist garrison of that place was seized with a panic. Their flight was general and disorderly in the extreme. The fugitive officers presumed that the cities of Raab and Gorgo were taken—indeed, there was nothing to prevent the Hungarians from taking them, and with them an enormous quantity of stores, the whole commissariat of the Imperialist army, which had been concentrated in the two places previous to being sent into the in terior to the army of General HATNAu. At Gorgo the Hungarians must have found two steamers with a quantity of boats which they were intended to drag. On the quays were above 80,000 bushels of oats and enormous quantities of flour, rice, and vinegar, and ?,400 head of cattle—all of which fell into the hands of the Hungarians. The loss of the Impe rialists is estimated at 1,000,000 of florins, but in reality the loss is much greater, for the lives of the Imperialist armies in Hungary depended on the safety of their stores, which cannot now be replaced in time to be of any use to them. The Hungarians captured also two companies of foot and six pieces of artillery. Several troops of Lancers, too, were missing. The panic inspired by the Hungarians is not con fined to the garrison of Raab—it has extended to Vienna itself. The following letter describes the been ora e mutiny among thorn. I understood they had refu se d to march unt il t h e E mperor sent to say t h at they sho u ld not be used aga i nst t h e enemy . A t length they consented to do so, but even then the scene was heartrending, The poor young fellows moaned and wept aloud. They cried that to march against the Hungarian s was to go to death. The officers yielded less to their feelings, but they too parted from their friends and relations with very evident signs of emotion, and then hurried the men off. Near the railroad there was a dense crowd of curious spectators. Here again the young rift m en tarr i e d an d b emoane d t h e i r f ate. They said, We are going to bo shot!' and, addressing the crowd, they cried —' Farewell for ever. We shall never return!' The officers entreated them to be quiet and re signed to their fate. They submitted at length." It will be seen from the above that the Imperial army is quite demoralized. What chance of success can a gen era l h ave w h ose t roops are , i nstea d o f b e i ng inspirit e d b y the thoug h t o f g l ory an d t h e h ope o f victory, "quiet and resigned to their fate ?" Is the writer spe a ki ng of soldiers marching to battle, or criminals g o i ng to execution ? Accounts have been received at Vienna which re• preseld the state of I 1 AYNAU'S army as desperate; he finds th e diffi cult i es o f hi s marc h almost insuperable. There are ru mo u rs of his having been forced to fall back upon Ketshkemet. His soldiers are stated to have suffered more than an army ever did. Their march from Pesth was a weary plodding through the deep burning sand. The horses and the artillery could scarcely move along. With the exception of Ketshkemet they did not find a single village. There were neither human creatures nor animals. The in habitants of those places had wandered away; they had burnt their v ill ages and Ailed the wells with putrid DEN MARK. HAMBURGII, AUG. 7.—lt is officially announced by our Commerzium that the blockade will be raised on Saturday next. It is reported that the Stadtholders will acknow ledge the armistice convention as de• facto valid. The States were called upon to meet today at Schleswig, and doubtless some communication on the subject will be made to them by the present Go vernment. TURKEY. The Journal de Constantinople of the 24th July gives the following details of the fire at Serves : " A most disastrous fire broke out on the 18th, in the commercial town of Serves, in Roumelia, and about 18 hours' journey from Adrianople, of which it was the rival. It broke out in the coffee-room of a bazaar, and rapidly spread, in consequence of a high wind. The result was that the flames spread in different directions, and to such an extent that it was found impossible to stop their progress, and, above all, in the absence of any orga nised system of exertion as well as of engines and all the instruments requisite under such circumstances. The destruction of two-thirds of this town, which had for some time been increasing in prosperity, w as mainly owing to the indecision of Abreddyn Bey. About 2,000 shops, 632 houses belonging to Greeks, 15 Turkish houses, 2 mosques, 6 convents, 6 Turkish schools, 15 Greek churches, 22 khans, and 2 immense factories belonging to dyers, have been reduced to ashes. Many respectable persons connected with the commerce of Serves have suffered most severely by this scourge. The quarters of Khervan Kha❑ and Berestin escaped the flames. The Jew quarter would infallibly have been destroyed, if a house had not been pulled down adjoining to the Syna gogue, so that the flames could not reach that edifice. The value of the property destroyed is immense, but an accurate estimate has not yet been made respecting it." ITALY. A letter from Rome of the 29th ult., thus describes the state of that city : " It would be difficult to paint the state of disorder that resigns here. We have six sorts of police—Oudi not's police ; de Corcelle's police ; de Rlynevat's police; Gaeta police ; Rostolen's police ; and the police of the Roman re-aczionists. As all work on their own separate account, the arrests are daily numerous and inexplicable. Every cardinal and little monseigneur has a claim on the French for arrests, which is never refused. Who ever hates the return of the priests is liable to incarcera tion, and who does not ? Even the moderate men have become disgusted with the reign of terror. We have returned to the worst days of Gregory, even to the inquisition ! And what have the French gained ? At Gaeta they are more and more distrusted. The po pulation of Rome keep apart and show them a natural antipathy, and the priests knowing into what embarrass ments they (the French) have thrown themselves, will make no concession ; so that after the waste of so much blood and treasure, neither glory nor influence has been gained." _ _ - A second letter of the 31st ult. states that it is openly declared that the POPE will return on the 15th. GARIBALDI has succeeded in escaping from the Austrians. He embarked on the 2d instant, at eight o'clock in the morning, on board some fishing vessels, accompanied by between two and three hundred of his followers, at Cedenatico, a small port of the Adriatic, situated between Rimini and Ravenna. It is not known whether he has gone to Venice or Corfu. The Austrian general has taken the rest of GARIBALDI'S men prisoners. U?wards of 1,000 of them have already reached Bologna, and the rest will -be distributed among the other towns garrisoned by the Austrians. The treaty between Austria and Sardinia was, as we stated yesterday, signed at Milan on the 6th ; and on the same day, previous to the signature of the treaty, the Austrian Government, and the Dukes of PARMA and MODENA, proclaimed an amnesty. The Concordia contains the following intelligence from Venice : " Oa the r.i,;ht of the 29th ult. the Venetians surprised a strong advanced post of the Austrians, attacked it at the point of the bayonet, killed 50 men, disabled 37, and seixid a large quantity of provisions. About the same time a Venetian flotilla was escorting a large supply of provisions from the lonian Islands, when it was attacked off the Venetian Gulf by the Imperial flaet, which, after a most obstinate conflict, was obliged to take refuge at Trieste. The flotilla then triumphantly entered the lagoons, to the joy of the Venetians, who had already begun to suffer from want of provisions. At present flour, corn, wine, and fresh meat are plentiful. The blockade by land is:(says the Concordia) as good as raised, the Austrians having considerably extended its limits, after their fruitless efforts of the 28th, 29th, and 30th ult. In their retreat they have left a large quantity of projectiles behind them." LOUIS BLANC'S NEW JOURNAL TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—It was only yesterday that a friend called at my house with a number of your journal in his hand and consternation depicted on his face. I thought some great catastrophe had occurred to persons or things connected with me by the bonds of affection or interests. A catastrophe it must be in deed, if the reviewer attached to your publication, having carefully perused the first number of the review with which I have the honour of being con nected as editor, has declared in the truth of his conscience, guided by a sound judgment, that the New World has been guilty of "a ferocious onslaught on Order, Family, and Property. Those among your readers who may have chanced to glance at M. L. Blanc's review, must have felt the same astonishment as myself, not to use a harsher expression • for they must have seen, that far from attacking those three sacred bases of society, M. Louis Blanc has inscribed their names on bis banner, as the watchwords of the social reform he advocates. And when you, Sir, come to consider that it is a champion in the same cause as your own, the cause of liberty for all, who has thus been most wan tonly attacked in your journal, I feel confident you will regret this unhappy attack, which can only be founded on those abominable calumnies industri ously circulated by M. L. Blanc's unrelenting ene mies. At all events, I most emphatically challenge your reviewer to quote a single line, nay, a single word, justifying, in the remotest degree, his unquali fied assertion.—l remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, F.

In cons equence , we suppose, of this affair following so close upon the Har bour Regatta, it was rather a slow concern, and the attendance not so numerous as usual. The starting vessel was moored off the hot-baths, on Southsca beach. A good many yachts were cruising about, ineuding the Portsmouth, with Rear-Admiral Prescott and a large distinguished party on board. There was scarcely any wind on Thursday, so that the sailing matches between the pilot boats and the wherries were not of any interest. There was a ball (well attended) at Mr. Hollingsworth's rooms on Thursday night, and'fireworks from the start ing vessel on both nights. Dispatches were sent off yesterday evening from the Colonial office for the Governor of Canada, and also for the Governors of the other North American colonies. kl , ercleen ...
