Let him beware that the contempt be not exchanged for a 4tronger feeling, if he perseveres in his anti- English an e d in striving to defeat the objects fionguriwheiesh, w have engaged in a just and necessary War. We cannot dismiss the subject without in viring what advice has he given to his nephew, t he young King of PORTUGAL, so lately a visitor tt his capital. We see that Sir RICHARD PAKE..N HAM has just been despatched on a special mission to Lisbon to congratulate the young KING on attaining his majority, and entering on the full exercise of his Royal functions. Has there been I. hint given that it would be desirable, at length, to inaugurate a Constiuutional Government in Portugal ? Or, that the rendering some small instalment of justice to the much-wronged bond- Aolders of his country would be very accept .ble in England, and that 43 to 45 is not 4. 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 oroceedings of the youthful KING the nature of ..he 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 )f 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 aow also had some little experience of the duties of a Member of the British House of Commons, '.nd 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 studia in mores, is a fact which most men, energetic in their own line, must ;enerally 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. GLADSTONE, 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 cordingly addressed himself. He reduced the Four Points to fractions. " Now," says he, "gentlemen, you have got, or may get, seven eighths of them; the remaining eighth will cost von a pretty sum to get. Are you prepared to pay it ?" Every chairman of a comm rcial 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 feather, said a certain one in }Esor, and nothing like trade principles said Messrs. COBDEN and BRIGHT, and now Mr. LAING joins them. The laws of the counting-house should be the laws of nations ; eighths and per centages 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 imposition. Does, then, Mr. GLADSTONE, or does the corn- ' !non sense of the country, believ,e 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 AmsroTLE 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 1 That the position at 'Vienna could be expressed thu4 : that Russia 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 1 If arbitration is to be carried on by arith metic, we only hope the decimal scale will very quickly come into universal operati in. But setting aside what moral and cultivated sen timent alone can estimate, and descending to more material considerations, is not histor3 replete with instances of the mischief of conceding what might he 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 181.5, are sufficient illustrations. In truth, however, the obvious fallacy is that the terms of a treaty must, like arguments, be weighed, not numbered. W' d appeal, then, to the sober part of England—an'a we may take the Tory but venerable Lord LvF,Dannsr as its representative--were the Four T .„%oiriti alto gether worth going to war for t Lord LYND HURST 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 BuoL and GORT SCHAROFF coaxed Lord Jonx out of, and which ; when Mr. LAING got to Vienna, he also learned to give up. We own, freely own, the difference was insignificant. How could it be otherwise when 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 boon to Russia. Mr. LAING nays that our rejection of the Vienna proposals " alienated from us the whole moral support of Europe 1" 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 influeme 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.

The King of SARDINIA is now regarded with esteem, respect, and admiration throughout th€ civilised world. He alone, disdaining to avai himself of the paltry excuses put forward b) 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 merelyby 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. W e shall not now compare his conduct with that of the so-called "great Powers" of Austria or Prussia, who have, however, proved themselves far less worthy of the title than the King cf SAR DINIA. It may be more suitably contrasted with - that of Belgium, a kingdom of nearly equal re sources and equally secure from the direct attack, of Russia. Over that territcry 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 iu a dragoon regi ment. He 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 50,000/. 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 house a husband was also provided for the Queen of PORTUGAL. 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 be anticipated that he could not for a moment hesitate as to the part he would take in the peira ing contest—that he would not have waited for Sardinia to set him the example of the course befitting an independ en t and higli-minded Monarch ! But far from it. LEOPOLD has been the enemy rather than the fiend of England. He may be regarded as the introducer of the system of " Coburgism" so obnoxious to the country. Certain that, under any circumstances, he will receive the assistance, or rather " pro t ec ti on, " o f England, he has done nothing to merit it, but has cultivated the A". Ulan rather than the English alliance ; and there is but too much reason to fear that he may have influenced the mind of the Prince Consort, and occasioned. the truckling to Austria of which so many just complaints have been put ard. &Can he look on,thp Cond uc t of the King o f S A 4' w p n ris without a blush of shame? Can he hear t h e sl ing of that maglianinunia Sovereign with. that if civilised Europe allowed the CZA.R. and his barbarians to take provinco 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. The main questions to be considered with re 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 CUBITT, 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 jects achieved at a reasonable cost. How far the plan iu 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 the noxious stream will be carried out to sea, never more to return and offend the 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 exiensive area lower down will also ba 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 1,750,000/., to which will have to be added 1.250,0001. for the southern main drainage. What the cost of interception, ch., 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 amount 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 retu;n, still the Thames is not put in a way of becoming pure. A vast quantity of foul sewage will contiuw:i.ily 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 done, 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. That 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 importan a su l oject, our desire being that the cure of a Prievous evil shall be as complete and effected at as reasonable a cost as possible, and our excep tions to the plan being solely those we have in dicated. In every other respect, we dare say, it is m , st efficient. THE 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 affe..'x could scarcely be called a b attle.

The Conservatives are expected to bring forward a candidate, but, as vet, nothing definite is known. A reckless feat was performed at the Crystal Palace a few afternoons since. One of the workmen engaged in the completion of the circular water tower, for a wager of a eallon of hoer ascended to the summit of the south ern tower by a rope which had been suspended there for same purpose, and which hung down into the high road, a height of more than 200 feet.

PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par (according to the last tariff), which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 102 d. per ounce for stan dard gold, gives an exchange of 25'17: and, the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25•071, it follows that gold is about 0 . 38 per cent, dearer in Paris than in Lon- Inn. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4251 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31 17s. 10d per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 13•5 A ; and, the exchange at Hamburg on London at mlinet being 13 . 51, it follows that gold is 0.06 ee l . cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for hills at 60 days' sight is 110 per cent. ; and, the per of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per 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 trifling profit on the importation of gold from the United States. THE CROPS.—An immense breadth of corn has been cut. Simultaneously with the wheat harvest hay making has been going forward, of course under the most favourable circumstances.

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 reuewea en my appears to be disarming the battery established on the Lungorn Rock. The 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 the 9th, in the Gazette du Midi, gives the following account of General Canrobert's reception by the Sultan : " The General had arrived at Constantinople early on the morning ~f the Gib, and only stopped a few hours at the palace of Therapia, previous to entering the boat which was to take him cu beard the vessel in which he was to return to France. The 1 Jnch Ambassador was in the boat with him. While the br nt wilt filing into the port of Constantinople, Genera, Canro.,ert, seeing the Imperial flag wave over the Kiosk of T(.,_ Hane, or dered the boat to stop at the arsenal, and stepped out to express to .A.hmet-Fethi-Pacha, the Grand Master of the Artillery, toe regret he felt at not being able, on account of his short stty at Constantinople, to eolicit an audience of the Sultan. Having perforind this duty, he was preparing to step into his boat agaii , , when Abmet Fethi-Pacha called him back, and th, General saw, to his surprise, the Sultan advancing to wards him ; he had quitted his apartments on being in formed of General Canrobert's arrival. The interview took place in time 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, and the officers are on the track of the others. It is this day, that M. 13,nedetti, 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 week, in reality we have .in4ularly increased our chances of 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 success, the foil swing conditions must be fulfilled 4. Ti qpproach as Jose as possible to the enemy's works in order to remain as shirt a time as possible under the tire 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 whelming fire in that point. At the present time, these conditions are nearly fulfilled. Our works have brought us close to the place. The new batteries which have neon erected have considerably impeded the flank fire .4 the enemy, and as to the vessels, our heavy mortars of the Careening ravine will compel them to keep their distance. Before the construction of this last. name 1 batti ry these vessels were sheltered by a bend of the ground, and they could only be reached by shells. In order to protect themselves from these erejectiles the decks of the vessels were covered with a thi . :k layer of earth, but that is now unavailing. The .anitary state of the army is daily improving. Goner de Jonquiere dies a few days since at the ambulance at head-quarters: Colonel de Bondeville, of the Ist volti geurs of the guard, has also died of his wounds. Ac counts had.been received at Kamiesh from the Sea of Azoff to the 3d. At Petrowskoi, near Berdianak, the Russians had raised a considerable work with 16 em brasures, which has been completely destroyed by the Allies. Near Arabat the Milan and Mouette seized 180 tons of coal, which they took on board in spite of the presence of a number of Cossacks. In the attempt made by these two vessels to burn the vessels sunk in the pass of Yetiitchi, Lieutenant Lallemand, who commanded the MoueGte, was killed. His body was carried off by the English officers and men of the Milan, in spite of a very warm fire of musketry from the Russians." BALAKLA VA. The Journal de Constantinople contains the fol lowing letter from Balaklava of the 4th ;—" considerable number of labourers, who have been employed on the railroad, and, above all, some navvies, have just embarked for Kouslou, near Heraclea, to dig up coal. Kouslou, situated close to the sea, furnishes excellent coal, although some what fibrous and very hard. It is obtainable, however, at a very moderate price. Some fisher men with their nets have been obtained from Tre bizonde, and by their means great quantities of good fish are obtained for the camps. Blasting works are now being carried on at Balaklava to enable the road to be widened, leading on to the quay. Another road, which is to be macadamised, is in course of construction, which will branch off in several directions. You can hardly imagine the strange Babel which the workmen make. Amongst them are Armenians, Albanians, Croats, Jews, Kurds, and even Persians ; all the Turkish pro vinces are represented,!and all are allowed to wear their national costume. I leave you to guess what a motley and curious assemblage of garments and colours are to be st'en. The railway is at work night and day ; and, notwithstanding this, carts are continually backwards and forwards from the harbour to thu camp, just as if the railway did not exist." THE WHITE SEA. The Military Governor of Archangel, Admiral Kroustchoff, under date of the 20th of July (Ist of August) has forwarded to his Government the fol lowing details of the movements and operations of the allied squadrons in the White Sea : "The English steamer which, on the 17th (29th) of June, approached the island of Zeleteky, returned there on the 21st (3d of July) with a French steamer. " Detached vessels of the squadron have continued to cruise opposite and cannonade the villages along the mast, which have been in a great mea.ure abandoned by the inhabitants. Thus alter a heavy cannonade the oil lages of Strohm snd Megra have fallen a prey to the flames. "The attempts of the enemy to penetrate into the in terior even to a Aort distance from the above, have re mained unsuccessful ; thus on th.- 13th (2 h) tit June the peasants of the village of Nijniaia, Z 5 olotitsa fired noon a rowing boat, which attempted to go up the river Zulotitsa, and compelled it to returo to the steamer lc, the offing, which then opened fire against the village." FRAN CE PARIS, TUESDAY. The Moniteur publishes the return of the Gus toms' revenue for the month of July, which amounted to 32,914,6501 r., being an increase on the corresponding month of last yel r of 19, 478, 221 fr., and of 20,338,586 fr. on that of 1853. The amount received during the first seven months of the year was 121,221,380 fr., being 40,735,622 fr. more than in the same periot of 1854, and 42,976,738 fr. than in that of 1853. Making a comparison of the re turns of the seven months of 1855 and 1854, we find the principal improvement to be in foreign sugar for 9,793,106 fr.; colonial ditto, 7,274,219 fr. ; coffee, 7,116,697 fr. ; wool, 3,772,3651 r. ; raw cot ton, 2,955,541 fr. ; bar iron, 1,612,151 fr. ; coal, 618,991 fr. ; and, under the head of sundries, 3,313,752 fr. A few articles, such as oleaginous seeds, salt, ac., show a falling off, but of so small an amount as not to be worth noticing. The Moniteur announces that, in consequence of the advanced state of the season, the price of season tickets is now reduced from 59fr. to 25fr. Such tickets may be bad at the company's office, door No. 1. As an exceptional measure, season tickers will also he sold to-day and Friday at the principal entrance to the Exhibition Palace.

THE GREAT BATTLE ON THE TCHERNAYA. NO BOMBARDMENT SEBASTOPOL. PARIS, WEDNESDAY, AUG. 22, 8 A. M. The Muniteur says that the Minister of War has received the following despatch from General Pelissier " CRIMEA, AUG. 19, 1 P. 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 Z,329." The Moniteur adds the e words : " The artillery has again opened fire against Sebastopol. An error in a despatch 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, to facili tate the works of the approaches directed againtt 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 much cheering. TRIESTE, TUESDAY, AUG. 21. We have news from Trebisond, dated the 6th August. A Russian corps, counnanded by General Sus sulhoff, 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. e 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-Blzonks have been much exaggerated. The accounts from Asia are not very tranquillising. According to the Presse d'Orient, Erzeroum is said to be be threa tened ; the Russian army had crossed the Soghan. and occupied the village of Tchin-Tchai. 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 Paella. The English contingent will go to Schumla, and not into Asia. Colonel Calan drelli is rapidly fortifying Erzeroum, but he is in want of regular troops. The Bey of Tunis has offered to act against the insurgents of Tri poli. The Presle d'Orient states that General Simpson will shortly be replaced by General Henry Ben tin cic. VIENNA, MONDAY EVENING, A VG. 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 si4ned yesterd;ty, and will be published as soon as the ratifications have been exchanged. The InvaUde Russe, of the 12th, contains the following despatches, since received at St. Peters- burg : AUG. 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 Swartho and the Nicholas battery, upon tho bland of Rentan, but without success. His oannonado Wag then again turned against the fortress. According to an approximative eatimae, he fired 3,000 times yesterday against the island of Sandham. The fire was chiefly- by broadsides, or Pi rolling fire. To-day he has thrown nearly 4,800 shells against the isle Of Wester Swartho and the Nicholas battery, nearly all the shells, to judge by their explosions, being seven-pounders. 7.10 F.M. The enemy's cannonade is feebler• 10.17 P. 31. The bombardment (f to'dal kas, it is certain, occasioned no damage either to the fortifications , or the batteries or guns. During the 104 two days the fire has destroyed some buildings Iva: the island of Stura-Ester Swartho. filing of rockets ceased at half-past 11. During the course of last night about 350 were fired. This morning, at 5.30 a.m., the fire against the fortress ceased. Daring 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 thorn to withdraw ; since then the firing of the rockets completely ceased. 10.30 p.m.—The bombardment was not re newed during the day.
