The King of SARDINIA is now regarded with esteem, respect, and admiration throughout the civilised world. He alone, disdaining to avail himself of the paltry excuses put forward by Sovereigns of greater pretensions, promptly and chivalrously responded to the call of truth and justice, and fearlessly cast in his lot with the de fenders of right against might. Nor was it merely by professions of good-will that he supported the cause. He sent 15,000 well-trained soldiers, who have since afforded the most conclusive evi dence of their bravery and efficiency, and gathered verdant laurels on the fiercely-contested Tcher naya. His conduct was the more laudable, inas much as none of the belligerents possessed any strong claims on his gratitude or good offices, nor had he any personal or national object to advance. His motives were therefore of the purest and most exalted character; and he set a bright ex ample to other monarchs, which none have hitherto had the magnanimity to follow. We shall not now compare his conduct with that of the so-called " great Powers 7 of Austria or Prussia, who have, however, proved themselves far less worthy of the title than the King of SAlt pima. It may be mere suitably contrasted with that of Belgium, a kingdom ,of nearly equal re sources and equally secure from the direct attacks of Russia. Over that territory reigns a monarch who owes his rank and position solely to his con nection with England, who is bound by every tie of gratitude to exhibit the most entire devotion to her interests. If King LEOPOLD possesses any influence whatsoever it is ascribable to his Eng lish marriage. If the Grand Duke of SAXE COBURG GOTHA be not now a petty mediatised Prince, dancing attendance as a first-class menial on the Emperor of AUSTRIA, it is owing to the fancy which an English Princess took to a cadet of his house. At the time of the mar riage of Prince LEOPOLD the domains of Saxe Coburg were less than those of a leading squire of any county of England, and the -income of the lucky adventurer himself was less than that which a respectable cotton manufacturer would allow to a son holding a commission in a dragoon regi ment. lie was, however, selected—chiefly we believe on account of the thorough insignificance of his family—as the husband of the heiress pre sumptive to the English throne, and not merely a liberal, but an extravagant settlement was made on the fortunate youth—no less than 50,0001. per annum, with a palatial residence being se cured to him in the event of his surviving his illustrious consort. It is needless •to say how soon he came into possession of ,this princely appanage. His marriage led to that of his widowed sister, who became the mother of the future Queen of ENGLAND, whose hand was also secured for another of the fortunate race of COBURG, from which now thriving hcuse a husband was also provided for the Queen of PoRTUTIAL. LEOPOLD himself, 'although elected King of Belgium through the influence of England, con tinued his hold on the English Treasury. Clare mont is still kept up for his use, and at his dis posal, and a large portion of the 50,0001. per annum is applied to that purpose ; and although we believe that some part of it is usually paid back to the Treasury the Claim has never been released, and may at any moment be demanded, should it be deemed desirable to do so. Under these circumstances, and considering also that he is so nearly related to the Sovereign of England and the Prince Consort, and that he has received, and is still enjoying, such incalcul able advantages from his English alliance, it might that he could not for a moment be anticipated hesitate as to the part he would take in the pend ing contest—that'lla would not have waited for Sardinia to set him the example of the course befitting an , independent and high-minded Monarch ! But far from it. LEOPOLD has been the enemy rather than the friend of En g l an d. He may be regard e d as the introduCer of the system o f cg Coburgism" se obnoxious to the country. Certain that, under any circumstances, he will receive the assistance, or rather " protection," of England, be has done nothing to merit it, but has cultivated the Aus- trian rather than the English alliance ; and there brit too much reason to fear that he may have infitienced the mind of the Prince Consort, and occationed-the truckling to Austria, of which so many just complaints have been pnt for w ard, Can he look an the conduct. of the Ri ng of Sin. *leant bluOit of shame?

If the people of England applaud the one—and what true-hearted Englishman does not do so 4—how strongly , must they condemn the other, the pen sioner of the English Treasury, the dere of Eng land's bounty. LEOPOLD has done much to bring contempt on the House of Coburg. Let him beware that the contempt be not exchanged for a stronger feeling, if he perseveres in his anti- English intrigues, and in striving to defeat the objects for which we have engaged in a just and necessary War. We cannot dismiss the subject without in quiring what advice has he given to his nephew, the young King of PosrvaiL, so lately a visitor at his capital. We see that Sir RIONAID PAW ILLY has just been despatched on a special mission to Lisbon to congratulate the young Ktxs► on attaining his majority, and entering on the full exercise of his Royal functions. Has there been a hint given that it would be desirable, at length, to inaugurate a Constitutional Government in Portugal 4 Or, that the rendering some small instalment of justice to the much-wronged bond holders of his country would be very accept able in England, and that 43 to 45 is not a very creditable quotation for Portuguese Four per Cents. LEOPOLD lived many years in Eng land. He knows the value set upon Consti tutional Government and probity of dealing in this country. He has had the opportunity of instilling sound principles into the mind of his Grand Nephew, and we shall soon know by the proceedings of the youthful KING the nature of the lessons he has received. There are few unofficial men whose judgment we should be more disposed to respect than Mr. LAING'S. His capacities for the administration of business have placed him already at the head of two very large public companies, and recent events have proved how highly his ability and integrity are valued in such positions. He has now also had some little experience of the duties of a Member of the British House of Commons, and it may be supposed has somewhat extended the range of a naturally good vision. It is not, however, perhaps much to be wondered at that the ledger view of the War should commend itself to his mind. Abeunt atudia in mores, is a face which most men, energetic in their own line, must generally exemplify, and without imputing in any criminal sense to the Hon. Member for Wick that Vienna / railway speculations may have biassed his judgment his commercial habits as a whole may have done so. Mr. GLADSTONI, whom we can hardly regard in any other light than an intentional sophist, knew his advantage with men of the counting-house, and to the counting-house and Stock Exchange mind he ac -1 cordingly addressed himself. He reduced the Four Points to fractions. " Now," says he, "gentlemen, yon have gob, or may get, seven- eighths of them; the remaining eighth will cost you a pretty sum to get. Are you prepared to pay it t" Every chairman of a commercial company, every head of a great firm, thinks he sees through the whole question. Frequently enough he has gladly written of 12i per cent, rather than spend 20 per cent. or more to get it. Nothing like leather, said a certain one in iEsor, and nothing like trade princiiileS" said Messrs. COBDEN and BEIGE; and now Mr. LATNO joins them. The laws of the counting-house should be the laws of nations ; eighths and per ceutages are the tests of international right and wrong. We may forgive the business men who echo Mr. GLADSTONE'S figures, but we cannot forgive him for becoming the Bull of Russian interests, and the Bear of English interests by such a conscious limposition. Does, then, Mr. GLADSTONE, or does the com mon eense of the country, believe that interna tional relations can be settled by halves and eighths, like a bargain for Three per Cents., or for some of his own Exchequer Bonds ? Did Oxford and his ARISTOTLE teach him to include such distinct subjects under one category ? The instincts of every unbiassed mind revolt from such reasoning. Even those who cannot lay their finger on the fallacy yet feel quite sure that there is one somewhere. But, in truth, it is nothing else but fallacy ; it. makes the huge assumption that national honour, and that the value of the terms of a treaty can be determined by arithmetic —by a calculation in vulgar fractions ! That the position at Vienna could be expressed thus : thatßussia offered of honour, and asked England to give up for luck—why what Englishman ever refuses to give back the shilling for luck in a bar gain ! If arbitration is to be carried on by arith metic, we only hope the decimal scale will very quickly come into universal operati m. But setting aside what moral and cultivated sen timent alone can estimate, and descending to more material considerations, is not histor) replete with instances of the mischief of conceding what might be figuratively viewed as but the eighth part of the terms of a treaty ? The dreadful Thirty Years' War, and above all the wars and villanies of Russia since the wicked concessions at Vienna in 1815, are sufficient illustratioast., In truth, howeveiclin obvious fallacy is that the terms of a treaty must, F like arguments, be weighed, not numbered. We appeal, then to the sober part of England—and we may take &Tory but venerable Lord LYNDHURST as its repr . entative—were the Four Points alto gether worth going to war for ? Lord LTND- . urnsT 'replies—" They were not worth the paper they were written on." If, however, there was a particle of value in them, it was just that part, that despised eighth, which Boor. and GORT SCHAKOFF coaxed Lord JOHN out of, and which, when Mr. LAING got to Vienna, lie also learned to give up. We own, freely own, the difference was insignificant. How, could it be otherwise w hen the whole four proposals were worthless ? But we affirm, that take away the difference and „. the Treaty would have been even worse than waste paper : it would have been a boo — n to Russia. Mr. LAING says that our rejection of the Vienna proposals "alienated from us the whole moral support of Europe !" Of course Poland, Hungary, Italy, the peoples of Germany as distinguished from their Courts, and from those Government officials with whom great speculators in foreign railways come in contact, Sardinia, and we suppose we must even add Spain, are no part of Europe ; Turkey, of course, is only now fighting to become one of the happy European family—and France, why she certainly goes for little in Europe. It is really a pity to find men like Mr. LAING, re turning from a business trip to Vienna, the very centre point of Russian influence and chica nery, only to prove, like Lord JOHN, the seduc tive powers of the head-quarters of European despotism. We must take the liberty to tell Mr. LAING that if he did not, the nation generally did know what it was fighting for; it has been treacherously served by the Russian-hearted men whom he praises as great statesmen, but it always wanted to have the claws of Russia cut and its teeth drawn. Those with any tincture of historical knowledge were aware that the more barbarous power had if not prevented in time always overpowered the mom civilised. And thousands irLo kis! Ziiir & PSio of Ilt&* . ogilid sea that if civilised Europe allowed the CzAu and his barbarians to take province after province, and kingdom after kingdom as they pleased—the issue must be that Paris and London would soon become as enslaved as Vienna and Berlin. Eng lishmen lament as much as Mr. LAING and the former deserters the cruel necessity of War, and deplore its cost ; but they are confident that it is only by a sufficient outlay now they can save the past outlay from being mere wanton waste. What is most to be regretted is that Mr. LAING and his predecessors do more to prolong the War by misleading Russia than all the other causes combined. But for Lord ABERDEEN, and his in dependent abettors, COBDEN and BRIGHT, we are confident we should have had no War at all. COURT CIRCULAR. ST. CLOUD, Aua. 20. The Queen and Prince, the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal, attended by the Ladies and Gentlemen in-Waiting, accompanied the Emperor of the French to the Exposition des Beaux Arts, in the Champs Elysees, this morning. At half-past two o'clock her Majesty received the corps diplomatique at the palace of the Elysee, who were presented by Lord Cowley ; and also the Secretary and Attaches of the British Embassy, and the Rev. Dr. Hale, Chaplain to the Embassy. Lady Cowley pre sented the ladies of the corps diplomatique. Her Majesty, with the Emperor and the royal party, then proceeded, in open carriages, through the principal streets of Paris, and went to see the Sainte Chapelle, at the Palais de Justice, and subsequently visited the Cathedral of Notre Dame. The cortege, which was conveyed in six of the Em peror's open carriages and four, and escorted by parties of cavalry, returned to St. Cloud, at half-past five o'clock. The Comtesse de Labedoyere, the Comtesse de Ray neval, General Comte de Montebello, the Marquis de Belmont, and Col. Fleury, have been appointed by the Emperor and Empress of the French to be in attendance on her Majesty. The Vicomte Wal=h and the Marquis de la Grange are in attendance on his Royal Highness Prince Albert. The main questions to be considered with re- I gard to the plan for the northern main drainage, described in another column, from the printed reports prepared by Mr. BAZALGETTE, Mr. HAY WARD, Sir WILLIAM Clam, and Mr. ROBERT STEPHENSON, and approved by the Commissioners of Metropolitan Sewers, are those of efficiency and economy. What is wanted is to have Lon don as perfectly drained, and the Thames as little contaminated as possible, and both of these ob- A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the Foreign-office, Downing-street. The Mini-ters pre sent were :—Viscount Palmerston, the Lnrd Chancellor, Earl Granville, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Duke of Argyll, Sir George Grey, Lnrd Panmure, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Charles Wood, Viscount Canning, and the Earl of Harrowby. The Council sat an hour and a half. jests achieved at a reasonable cost. How far the plan in question is likely to accomplish these ob jects scientific men should be best able to say, but as scientific men are liable to aberrations, and have not unfrequently had their perceptions sharpened by means of plodding investigation, and sober rumination on the part of the public, it may be well for the latter to avail themselves of their right and satisfy themselves on the above points. This much is certain, that, however com pletely it provides for the completion of a perfect system of sewerage towards the river, it does not wholly exclude the drainage from the Thames. The great feature of the plan seems to be to intercept the greater part of the sewage, and so secure, under certain limitations, its being carried off to Barking Creek, there to be deprived of its solid matter, and the remainder, a large propor tion doubtless, to be subsequently ejected into the river under the notion, it would appear, that bh• noxious stream will be carried out to sea, never more to return and offend th• senses of the inhabitants. The incompleteness of the plan will become more apparent when the reader perceives that the western division, commencing a little to the east of Brompton, and extending to Brent ford, and comprising an area of 18 square miles, will empty the liquid portion of its drainage into the Thames, near the entrance to the Kensington Canal ; that during every smart shower of rain the entire sewage, liquid and solid, of a densely populated and extipsive area lower down will also be discharged, much as at present, into the stream ; while the great body of the liquid sewage will, as we have stated, be disembogued into the river at Barking. Is it not possible to have a better practical scheme than this ? It is a serious ques tion, and thoughtful consideration is required before an answer should be given. The cost of the plan, it will be seen, is estimated at 1,750,0001., to which will have to be added 1,250,0001. for the southern main drainage. What the cost of interception, dm, alone is we cannot say ; but it doubtless forms by far the largest portion, and must be more than enough to warrant careful inquiry. The sanitary point of view, however, is the most important. That the plan will mightily lessen the aggregate of filth in the Thames cannot admit of doubt ; but what certainty is there, quite irre spective of the western district and the contin gency of showers lower down, that the liquid sewage will be carried out to sea, and will not continue to pollute the river ? The public will feel a natural anxiety on this head, for they have learned a little chemistry of late, and, besides being aware of the pestilential odours arising from a filth-overcharged stream, know very well that the fluid sewage will contain a large athount of organic matter, and that if this is brought back with the tide, the water taken from the Thames, however well filtered, must of necessity have the benefit of it. If it be certainly ascertained, and many will be disposed to doubt it, that the fluid will not return, still the Thames is not put in a way of becoming pure. A vast quantity of foul sewage will continually find its way into it. Is it necessary that it should ? Can no plan, we repeat, be devised to divert the sewage of the metropolis from the river alto gether ? If this be possible at any reasonable cost, in HEAVEN'S name let it be dune, and let there be no bungling with an imperfect scheme. In this view thousands will concur with us, and we trust, while there is no unnecessary delay, nothing will be commenced without full conside ration. The'eminence of the authorities in favour of the plan tells, doubtless, greatly in its favour as a practical scheme. Tnat recommendation may, however, have been biased by considerations which they were bound to respect, but which should have no weight with the public. However this may be, we have done our duty by inviting attention, if in a desultory way, to so important Baron Bentinck, the Netherlands Minister, had an interview with Viscount Palmerston yesterday. Count Colloredo; the Austrian Minister, had also an interview with the noble Viscount at his official residence in Downing•street. Despatches were received yesterday at the Cllonial office from the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope. BRITISH ARCHAIOLOGIC,'AL SOCIETY. NEWPORT, ISLE OP WIGHT, Monday.—This learned association held the first me-ting of their annual congress for the present year at this town. In the absence of the Earl of Perth, who is detained at Theppe by the illness of one of his family, Mr. Pettigrew took the chair. Among those present at the meeting were Sir W. IL and Lady Dillon, the Misses Pettigrew, Mr. Planche, Mr., Mrs., and Miss Gould ; Messrs. Wakeman, Davis, Chapman, Wright, Lawrence, W. H. Black, the Rev. G. Kell, the Rev. R. Wallace, ac. Mr. Pettigrew, having apologised for the absence of the noble president, opened the proceedings of the congress by an introductory address upon the antiquity of the Isle of Wight, as illustrated by the British Archaeological Association. After the inspection of a number of documents, the party proceeded to the residence of Dr. Wallace, and in spected the grammar school, interesting from its having been the room in which the commissioner of the Parlia ment had a lengthened conference with Bing Carle I. To-morrow the society visit the ruined castle of Canis brook and other interesting buildings in the locality, TAB GARRISON OF SEBASTOPOL. A private despatch from the French camp gives a few additional particulars about the affair of th e Tchernaya, and explains, to a certain extent, the disproportion, remarked by every one, between the loss of the Allies and that of the enemy. It appears that the garrison of Sebastopol, as well as the army, are almost without provisions ; they have scarcely a morsel of bread to eat, and they are in such a plight that, according to the despatch, one would say the Russian Commander-in-Chief really desired to get rid of a considerable number of his men from the sheer impossibility of feeding them. The enemy had to pass through a deep ravine to approach our lines, and while they did so they were actually mowed down by hundreds by our guns and musketry. The Russians were not in a position to return our fire with effect, and did little more than fire in the air. They seem to have been sent forth as desperate men, to do the best they could. It was in the advance and re treat that they suffered most, and, but for the sig nal slaughter of the enemy, the affair could scarcely be called a battle. "Ifwe do not take Sebastopol with our cannon," adds the despatch, " we shall do so before long by famine." Lord and Lady Hatherton, who bad recently returned to TedderlyPark,'Staffordshire, from a tour in Germany, have left their country seat to make a succession of visits in Scutland.

PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paiis is about at par (according to the last tariff), which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10,d. per ounce for stan dard gold, gives an exchange of 25.17: and, the exchange at Paris an London at short being 25-07 1 . it follows that gold is about 0 38 per cent, dearer in Paris than in Lon don, By advises from Hamburg the price of gold is 425% per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/ lie. 104(1 change of 13•5% ; and, the exchange at Hamburg on Per ounce for standard go ld, g ives an ex- London at short being 13.51, it follows that gold is 0.06 ner cent, dearer in Lnndon than in Hamburg. The course of exchangeeit New York on London, for hills at 60 days' sight is 110 per cent. ; and, the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23 40 p r cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0 42 per cent. in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the pre sent rate leaves a trifl;ng profit on the importation of gold from the United States.

One of the tars rose up, and said that, if the money was not restored be should eject sharper No. 1. The sharper only smiled at what he deemed a fooli.h threat. Jack coolly took the sharper by the shoulder, and pushed hint out of the window of the carriage. Sack then went to sharper-- No. 2, and demanded the money from him. He solemnly declared he had not the money in his possession, "In that case," says Jack, "you must follow y ou r friend!" and out he wentialso by the window. There remained only sharper No. 3, who evidently did not like the manner in whits!' his friends had been treated, and at once handed over the money Jost, and deemed himself secure. Not so, however. Tack no sooner got the money than the remaining sharper was quickly despatched by the same road as his predecessors. As the train was proceeding at a slow rate, tO sirerponkrere Ugly, U serAgoi, 014 - LATEST N WS. THE GREAT BATTLE ON THE TCHERNAYA, NO BOMBARDMENT SEBASTOPOL. PARIS, WEDNESDAY, AUG. 22, 8 A.M. The Moniteur says that the Minister of War has received the following despatch from General Pelissier : " CRIMEA, AI7G. 19, 1 r M. " It was necessary to , continue the armistice demanded yesterday by the Russians from 5 a.m. to 2 p.m. to-day, for them to carry away their dead. The nearest return we could make gives the following results :—Russians buried by the French 2,129, by the Russians I,2oo—total r 4,329." The Moniteur adds the e words : " The artillery has again opened fire against Sebastopol. An error in a d , spatch led to the belief that another bombardment had commenced. It is not the case. This fire is that of our can- nons, which, as has been seen, has powerfully contributed, since its recommencement, tw facili tate the works of the approaches directed against the ensemble of the Malakhoff works." PARIS, WEDNESDAY. The Queen and the Emperor, accompanied by the Imperial and Royal suites, arrived at the Exhibition at ten minutes past eleven. Their Majesties were received by Prince Napoleon, the Commissioners, and the Juries. The approaches were densely crowded, and there was muth cheering. TRIESTE, TUESDAY, Aua. 21. Wa have news from Trebisond, dated the 6th August. A Russian corps, commanded by General Sus aulhoff, had gained a success over some Turkish detachments at Kinprickoi. It was within three hours' march of Erzeroum. The armament of Erzeroum was not yet com- pleted. The inhabitants of the town had received orders not to abandon the place, and all hale men were summoned to oppose the Russians. MARSEILLES, TUESDAY, AUG. 21. The Simois has arrived with the mail from Constantinople to the 13'h. A winter camp is to be established at the Eaux Douces. The Otto man Government has just authorised the con struction of a railway from Constantinople to Bel grade, and it will be soon put up to tender. The outrages committed by the Bashi-B tzouks have been much exaggerated. The acc.ounts from Asia are not very tranquillising. According to the Pr. sse d'Orient, Erzeroum is said to be be threa tened ; the Russian army bad crossed the Soghan li-Dagh, and occupied the village of Tchin-Tcbai. Hafir Pacha was at Baibuth in great want of provisions. The European Consuls at Erzeroum were expected at Trebisond. The Simois brings an account that a Turco• European Commission has been instituted in order to propose medical reforms. On the occasion of the fete of the 15th, General Larchey will review 10,000 men of the French reserve now in the camp of Maslak. These reserves, which will in a short time amount to 50,000 men; will be divided between Maslak and the Eaux Douces. 16 squadrons of cavalry will also encamp at Daoup Pasha. The English contingent will go to Schumla, and not into Asia. Colonel Calau drelli is rapidly fortifying Erzeroum, but be is in want of regular troops. The Bey of Tunis has offered to act against the insurgents of Tri poli. The Pres , e d'Orient states that General Simpson will shortly be replaced by General Henry Bentinck. VIENNA, MONDAY EVENING, AUG. 20. Cardinal de Viale-Prelat, Apostolic Nuncio at 'Vienna, and the Archbishop of Vienna, have ter minated the negotiations for concluding a Con cordat between the Holy See and the Austrian Government, and it was signed yesterday, and will be published as soon as the ratifications have been exchanged. The Invalide I?usse, of the 12th, contains the following despatches, since received at St. Peters- burg : AM 10, 2.10 P.M. Since nine o'clock this morning the enemy's fire has redoubled in vivacity. Up to noon our assailants fired chiefly against the works of Wester S'wartho and the Nicholas battery, upon the Island of Reutan, but without success. His cannonade was then again turned against the fortress. According to an approximative estimate, he fired 3,000 times yesterday against the island of Sandham. The fire was chiefly by broadsides, or a rolling fire. To-day he has thrown nearly 4,800 shells against the isle of Wester Svrartho and the Nicholas battery, nearly all the shells, to judge by their explosions, being seven-pounders. 7.10 r. ht. The enemy's cannonade is feebler. 10.17 P.M. The bombardment of to-day has, it is certain, occasioned no damage either to the fortifications or the batteries or guns. During the last two days the fire has destroyed some buildings upon the island of Stura-Eiter Swarthm• July 30 (11th of August), 9.50 a.m.—Yester day, about 10 p.m., the enemy recommenced firing rockets, and opened fire from the mortars of their battery on Long Ora Rock. The latter 6;04 49% ;00 to ip Cie 4c . .14 0 The filing of rockets ceased at hAlf-p4st 11. During the course of last night about 350 were fired. This morning, at 5.30 a.m., the fire against she fortress ceased. During the night some boats approached the Nicholas Battery, on Rentan Island, so as to be able to throw in rockets at a shorter distance. A cannon loaded with grape was fired at them and compelled them to withdraw ; since then the firing of the rockets completely ceased. 10.30 p.m.—The bombardment was not re newed during the day. The enemy's fleet remains at anchor in its old position, and counts the same number of vessels. July 31 (12th of August), 4.2 a.m.—At 1 a.m. the enemy fired 72 rockets into the fortress, which did no damage. Some of their gun-boats are getting up their steam. 11.5 a.m.—The bombardment has not been renewea on my appears to be disarmiug the battery hey ‘ l , a established on the tungorn Rock. Tile vessels that bombarded Sandham on the 28 h of July (9th of August) continue repairing. 9.41 p.m.—The enemy remain at their old anchorage, and do not renew the attack. CONSTAN TINOPLE. A letter from Constantinople of tha 9th, in the Gazette du Midi, gives the following account of General Caurobert's reception by the Sultan : "The General had arrived at Coestantinopie early nn the morning • f the 6'h, and only stopped a few hours at the palace of Therapia, previous to mite , ing the boar which was to take him cn bard the vessel in which he was to return to France. The 1 mch Ati.bale , ador wa in the boat with him. While trio t wty 111ing into the port of Constantinople, Genera, Canrouert, seeing rho Imperial flag wave over the Kiosk of Top Ilane, or decoct the boat to stop at the arsenal, a.id stepped out ro express to Ahmei-Fethz-Pricba, the Grand Master of the Artillery, trie regret he felt at not tkeitig on account of his short stay at Constantinople, to °licit an audience of the Sultan. Havi ,, g perforated this duty, he was preparing to step into his boat again, when AI et Fethi-Pacha called hint bark, and thn General saw, to his surprise, the Sultan advancing to wa.xis him ; he bad quitted his apartments on being in f glued of General Canrobert's arrival. The interview took place in the very court of the arsenal, in the pre sence of an immense crowd clinging to the railings." The same letter also says : "The police a few days since discovered a hand of French and English thieves recently arrived from Europe. Several have been already arrested, arid the officers are on the track of the others. It is this day, that M. Benedetti, ex-Charge d'Affaires of France, has embarked for Alexandria, where he will join his wife and children, and thence proceed to Paris." SEBASTOPOL. The Gazette du Midi contains the following letter from Sebastopol : " Although apparently the situation of things has not changed during the last three weeks, in reality we have singuarly increased our chances cf success. The ex perience of the 18th June has shown us that in order to attempt a second attack on the Malakoff with any chance of succe , s, the following conditions must be fulfilled :- 4. To approach as close as possible to the enemy's works in order to remain as short a time as possible under the fire of their artillery ; 2. To be able to reach the enemy's batteries which take us in the flank ; and 3, to paralyse the action of the vessels in the port by an over wheltning fire on that point. At the present time, tliese conditions are nearly fulfilled. Our works have brought us close to the place. The new batteries which have .)eett erected have considerably impeded the flank fire f the enemy, and as to the vessels, our heavy mortars of the Careening tacit.e will compel them to keep their distance. Before the corstructiort of this last name I hatt• ry these vessels were sheltered by a bend of the ground, and they could only be reached by shdls. In order to protect themselves from these ttrojectiles the decks of the vessels were covered with a think layer of earth, but that is now unavailing. The sanitary state of the army is daily iolproving. G-ener a dN Jonqui , re die' a few days since at the ambulat.ce at head-quarters. Colonel de 13 ndeville, of the let volti ' genres of the guard, has also died of his wounds. Ac e.uot• bad been received at Kamiesh from the Sea of Aeoff to the 3d. At Petrowskoi, near 11-rdiaiisk, the itues-ians had raised a considerable work with 16 em brasures, which has been c pletely destroyed by ti e Allie.. Near Arahat the Milan and Mouette seize 180 tons of coal, which they took co: board in spite of the presence of a number of Cos ache. In the attempt made by these two vessels to burn the vessels sunk in the pass • f Yeidtchi, Lieutenant Lalletuan I, who crimmanded the Monet,te, Wag killed. His body was carried off by the Englis , l officers and men of the Wan, to spite of a %ery warn fire of musketry from the Russians." BALAKLAVA. The Journal de Constantinople contains the fol lowing letter from Balaklava of the 4th :—" A considerable number of labourers, who have been employed on the railroad, and, ab , .ve all, soul' navvies, have just embarked for Kouslon, near Heraclea, to dig up coal. Konslon, si►uated close to the sea, fel niches excellent coal, although some what. fibrous and very hard. It is obtainable, however, at a very moderate price. S:•me fisher men with their nets have been obtained from Tre hizonde, and by their means great quanti!ies of good fish are obtained for the camps. Blasting works are now being carried on at B4laklava to enable the road to be widened, leading on to the quay. Another road, which is to be macadamised. is in (lb 'use of construction, which will branch off in several directions. You can hardly imagine the strange Babel which the workmen make. Amongst them are Armenians, Albauiat.s, Croats, Jews, Kurds, and even Persians ; all the Turkish pro vinres are represented,fand..all are allowed to we,tr their national costume. I leave you to guess what a motley and curious assemblage of garments and colours are to be s en. The railway is at work night and day ; and, notwithstanding this, carts are confirm tlly backwards and forwards from the harbour to th, camp, just as if the railway did not exist." THE WHITE SEA. The Military Governor of Archangel, Admiral Kroustehoff, under date of the 20th of July (Ist of August) has forwarded to his Government the fol lowing details of the movements and op.-rations of the allied squadrons in the White Sea :-- "The Eng steamer which, on the 17th (29th) of June, approached the island of Zvietsky, returned there on the 21st (3d of July) with a French steamer. " Detached vessel. , of the squadron have continued to crmse opposite and cannot•arle the village- , along the c,ast,•which have been in a great mea , ure abandonec I,y the iohabitaiits. Thus alter a heavy cannoi.ade the ,i 1 lages of Strelna and Megra have fallen a prey to this flames. "The attempts of the enemy to penetrate into the in tenor even to a ~ h, . rt distance front the above, have re mained unsuccessful ; thus on th-• 13 , h (25 h) of Jun. the peas 'et% of the village of N jniala Znl .tit,a fired uoni. a rowing boat, which attempt d to go no the river Z .1-iiitsa, and cup-fled it to return to the st amer I the offing, which then opened fire against the village." FRANCE PARIS, TUESDAY.
