AUSTRIA. The Empress of Austria is now so far recovered from the effects of her late aceouchement that she is able to take carriage exercise. The Austrian Gazette of the 14th says :—" We have lately had an amusing proof of the avidity with Which .fresh intelligence is sought - after here. Prince Galitzin having- arrived here, it was at once rumoured about that he had brought the instructions from St. Petersburg, which were WO impatiently expected, and every one began to Speculate on their contents. It was only after a thousand comments had been made that it was discovered that Prince Galitzin had not come from St. Petersburg at &I, but from Athens, where he had been sent to notify the accession of Alexan der II." PRUSSIA. BERLIN, April 16.—The following piece of diplo matic petulence will furnish you with a striking commentary on tho3e statements that have gone the round of a portion of the press lately, that" something like a conciliation was going on between Austria and Prussia. It is a circular dispatch issued by Count Buol to the diploinwic agents of Austria, under date of March 23, and a copy of which has not been delivered here : " VIENNA, March 23. The &renar despatch of the Prussian Cabinet of the Bth instant was not brought to my kcoaledge by Count Arnim by order of his Govern ment till after its publication in the new-Taper press. The only expression that this . cortmonication was c-dcu listed to elicit from me WAS, that of astonishment that the document in question could have been written for well-informed readers. We thought that respect for the Prussian Government required that a weight sh,uld really be attached to the written and oral expressions of its representative in Frankfort, corresponding to the c-tpe and purport of his words. The circumstance that the Prussian representative at the Bond had thrown difficulties in the way of our notice with reference to the execution of the Feleral Rlsolution of Feb ruary- 8, by formal declarations in• the Diet, No that there can be no question of any doubtful inten tions of his Government that required further expla nation, seemed to us to c 11 rn t for a,otht-r reference of Herr von Bismarck to his Goveruiner3t, but for another repeated frank exposition of the position we take up Nothing is further from our int,nti-ns than to coniii.ue this unfruitful war of worts, and we therefore forward you herewith no instructions as regards any communica tion to the Com t to which you are accredited with re ference to the above mentioned manifestation of the Court of Berlin. " Receive the assurance, &c., " BuoL." " An unexpected little Congress of Princely families," says the independance of Brussels, "took place on the 12th at Bremen. The Queen of Hanover arrived early iu the clay, and were fol lowed soon after by the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Oldenburg, and the Duke and Princess Theresa of Altenbourg, all travelling in strict in cognito. The august travellers returned iu the evening to their respective residences." THE BALTIC FLEET. The following is an extract from a private letter : " Her Majesty's .ship. Imperieuse, Great Belt, April 12, 1852. " Will you be kind enough to send us a Navy List for this half-year, as soon as it becomes due ? We are now on our way to Kiel, where we stop only a few hours, and then proceed up the Baltic as far as the ice will permit. We left Nyborg this morning, where we had lain three days coaling and waiting until the ice bad broken up, and cleared out of the Belt to enable us to proceed. After leaving Nyborg, and getting about six or seven miles off, it came on so fo.zgy that we wera obliged to anchor (the Eurvalus in company ; Ctiliflct we left at Nyborg, and to join us to-morrow ; the rest of the squadron were at Landstrona, Jost below Esineur). At 12.30 to-day the fog cleared away, so we weighed anchor and proceeded through the Great Belt, passing a great quantity of ice. We shall get to Kiel to-night, if not stopped again by the ice or fog. We received one pap,r only at Nybarg -the Evetzing Mail, , -f the 21st March, which was old news to us. However, I hope we shall receive the re,t when we arrive at Kiel. We are now cuttinT our way through a large field of ice about fire or six inches thick; it grinds juA as if the ship were mining on shore. "Kiel, April 13. "We arrived here this morning at eight a.tn. After passing throtiah that field of ice yesterlay afternoon we kept pretty clear of others we saw until eight o'clock last night, when an immense field of ice wa,. reported ahead, and a few minutes alterwar is crab she went right into it, when she became firmly fixed ; the Enryalw. being astetn of uq, of course kept clew=r of it. We tried every means to get her off, and at last, by sending hawsers to the Euryalus, we were towed off. The ir , e was a- firm as a rook ; it wai about 18 feet thick. We 07i - , off about 11 15 that niffht, and steamed clear of the ice, where we anchored till tlayli ,, ht. At 4.15 this morninv, we witiabed and proceeded nnder steam f r Kiel, where we arrivel as I have told you. On onr arrival here we got our pripeller up, when we found that one comer of one of the blades had struck the ice. and wa nent very much. We were also told that the ice up the Baltic was now 30 feet thick, aid it was impossihle for us to get up thtre. This Waco has been clear of ice only two days, so had we come earlier we could not have got in, Ido not know how long we remain here. I have not any more news to tell you at present." SARDINIAN CONTINGENT. ALEXANDRIA, Apnit 14.—This morning the re view and benediction of colours took place on the Plain of Marengo, about a mile to the eastward of Alexandria. Some of the troops bad been camped on th ground for several days before, and all were formed by 10 o'clock this morning. About 11 his Majesty arrived by special train from Turin, at tended by a numerous staff and the representatives of France and England. He immediately mounted and repaired to the field; where he was received with the usual honours. and, after passing up and down the line, he took his station facing the chape l, which was placed in a pavilion, decorated with military trophies, on a slightly elevated mound, and round which the troops were grouped at a dis tance of 100 or 200 yards. The mass was per f Trued by the senior chaplain of de division, and after the colours had been blessed by him they were brought up to the King by the officers to whom they were confided, and the Minister of War read the following speech in the name of his Majesty "Officers, Sob-officers, and S .ldiers,—A war, foundet on justice, on which depends the tranquillity of Eur •pe and the fate of our country. calls you to the East. You will see far lands, where the Cross of Savoy is not uo known, You will see brave peoples and armies whose fame fills the world. Their example will be a stimulus to you to show to all that you have no less valour than our fathers. "On other occasions I have led you on the fitld of honour, and I remeraber with pride sharing dangers and fa igurs with you. I now grieve to separate myself from you for a time. My wishes will follow you every m here, and it will be a happy day for me when I shall be renni:ed to you. "Soldiers,—There are your colours. Generously un furled by the magnanimous Carlo Alberto, they record a distant country and eight centuries of noble traditions. You know how to defend them. Bring them back crowned with fresh glory. and your sacrifices will be blessed by the present and future generations." At the conclusion there were several rounds of hearty cheers given for the King, in which the ci vilians present joined with as much enthusiasm as the military. The spectacle concluded by the troops 'defiling before his Majesty, and their appearance in so doing elicited the admiration of all who saw them. There were present portions of each divi sion and regiment of the expedition for the East, amounting to about 7,000 men, in complete march ing order, so complete that a part, in fact, marched off the ground to Novi, en route, for Genoa. In the afternoon the King gave a dinner at the Palace here to the chiefs of the expedition, the Minister.% of France and England, Count Cavour, &c., and returned by rail to Turin in the evening. We read in the Opinione of Turin of the 15th that after the solemn distribution of the colours to the troops of the Piedmoute to expedition, the King of Sardinia gave a grand banquet to the chief com manders. The French and British ambassadors, the ministers, and other persons of distinction were present. 84 83 35 30 THE lONIAN ISLANDS. A letter from Corfu, dated the 9th of April, say —cc The new Lord High Commissioner, Sir John Young, arrived here this morning. The departure of Sir Henry Ward is fixed for the 12th." SPAIN. MADRID, Arita 16. The grand review passed yesterday by the Duke of victoria was magnifice nt ; 25,000 men were in hie). The troops cried, " Vive the Queen," " Vivo Espartero," " Vivo Liberty." M. Olozaga, will leave for Paris on Friday. The Madrid journals of the 13th have arrived. The city continued perfectly tranquil ; the seatj n els who had been stationed in the streets lea ling' to the Puerta, del Sol to prevent the colleetioe of crowds in that place had been _removed ; and .' pa trets in the street , , and other means of precau tion, had ceased. The Gazette announces that the Qug.;en had again expressed, through the first con-. stibutional alcalde, her thanks to the national gna rd for its energetic and prudent conduct in the recent attempted insurrection. The Gazette als , a publishes a circular from the Minister of Pub- NVirship and Justice to the bishops, complain iii g that they and the clervy hal not supplied t . kte information, which they were some tirao .go. called on to produce, for enabling the go-- 'ernmeut to adopt new arrangements and re ulatioio relative to the ecclesiastical administra- LON'DON irgurty UDAY lIVENTWO. APR ti of parishes ; and it intimates that, if the bishops and clergy do not, without delay, commu nicate what is required, special measures will be adopted against them. The journals confirm what was said some days ago as to the Pope's Nuncio having presented a protest from his holiness against the religious bases of the constitution, and against the bill for the sale of ecclesiastical property. Ru mours of the retirement of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Interior continued current, and it was said that the feirmer was to be nominated to the lucrative -post of President of the Supreme Tribunal of Justice, vacant by th© death of M. Alonzo. General Infante was spoken of for the Ministry of the Interior, and M. Gonzales, Am bassador at London for that of Foreign Affairs. In the Cortes on the 10th M. Alonso, of the demo cratic party, proposed a motion to the effect that the bill on the naticnal guard, recently adopted, should not be submitted to the royal sanction ; but after a speech from the Minister of Justice, the Cortes rejected the proposition by 119 votes to 30. The Minister of the Interior brought in a bill re lative to substitutes in the army. The discussion on the part of the budget relative to the Civil List was resumed ; and the annual allowance to the Queen was fixed at 23,000,000 reals (the real is abort 5 sous). The proceedings in the Cortes on the 11th up to past-hour were of no interest. A letter from Saragossa states that seventeen of the inhabitants had been arm ested for having refused to pay their share cf a forced loan of 500,000 reals imposed by the municipality. The Count and Countess of Trapani arrived at Rome on the 10th. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, APRIL 18. By the arrival of the mail steam-ship Atlantic we are in receipt of advices from New York to the 4th inst. The Atlantic was detained for 36 hours during her passage repairing a slight defect in the machinery. She brings 1,300,000 dols. of specie on freight. The Royal Mail steam-ship Asia arrived hence at Boston on the 31st nit. The United States mail steamship Baltic, hence, was passed going into New York on the 4th inst. The screw mail steam-ship Union, from Southampton on the 14th ult., had pot into Halifax on the 31st ult., after a most boisterous passage, short of coal. The business of the Legislature at Albany had been of a purely local nature. The Prohibitory Liquor Law had passed the Senate, after a strong but steadily resisted effort to throw it out. From Washington we learn that the President had decided against an extra session of Congress, and that the action of the Government indicated warlike measures relative to the El Dorado and other outrages committed by the Cuban authorities. Much excitement has been created in conse quence of a report that Colonel Lewis L. Taylor, formerly clerk in the office of the first auditor, hail forged the name of Jefferson Davis, Secretary of War, to notes amounting to 10,000 or 20,000 dol lars. He had left the city. It appears from the returns which have as yet been made public of the election in Kansas, which took place on the 30th ult., that the &nti-slavery party made a very indifferent- stand. The elections throughout the country continued to result in the favour of the Know-nothings. An examination into the facts connected with the enlistment of recruits for the British Foreign Legion had taken place. Fifteen had been arrested at Philadelphia as they were leaving that city on hoard a steamer for New York. The number that had been raised in Philadelphia was estimated at 500. Upon this subject it was reported from Ha‘ifax that official orders had been issued to pro vide rations for 500 recruits for the army in the Crimea expected to arrive from the United States. In New York a person named J. R. Bucknell, said to be an officer of the British army, had been ar rested and sent to Philadelphia charged with en listing persons with this object. Mr. Bucknell represented himself as an engineer engaged in em ploying men to work on rai4toads in Texas. At an election at Cincinnati a savage riot had occurred between the Dutch and the Americans. The ballot-boxes were destroyed, and it could not be ascertained which party had elected their can didate. Several severe encounters took place, and the Dutch paraded the streets with a loaded cannon bidding defiance to the Americans. The latter, however, turned the table upon their opponents by seizing the cannon and us'ng it against them. The result was that three of the Dutch were killed. The AiikTican party, one of whom was severely wounded, formed in procession and paraded the streets with a loaded cannon. The Germans took possession of the cannon, which had been left on the public landing, and conveyed it to the Free masons'-hall. The Americans bad sent a committee to demand its restoration, threatening, if it were not delivered up, to go and take it. Fears were entertained that further disturbances would occur. Two persons, one of whom was a bystander, had been killed in an affray at the St. Charles Hotel at New Orleans. The steamer Bulletin had been burnt below Lake Providence, and 23 of the passengers awl crew. were missing. Tile vessel and cargo, con sisting of 3,501) hales of cotton, were a total loss. In the steamer Huntsville 4,000 bales of cotton had also been burnt. Terrific gales had been experi enced at Albany and Philadelphia. At Philadel phia an extensive gas factory was blown down, and 25 of the workmen buried in the ruins. Eight bodies wore taken from the ruins, and several per sons were severely injured. The damage was esti mated 15,000. At the Democratic County convention, held in Philadelphia, one of the county commissioners had been expelled for refusing to testify under oath against Know-nothingism. The steam-ship Star of the West had arrivediavith advices from ;,..,itti Francisco to the 9thult., and $238,909 in specie on freight. -frigate Devastation was lyi H ng er in M th a l j e e p st o y r ' t s of steam-frigate S:in e Juan. The vault of Adams and C o. at Sonora bad been ain broken open by the mob and some $47,000 paid out to holders of certific ates by the committee appointed by the people. The names of Chapin, Sawyer, and Co., David Green, J. P. Davies, and S. B. Conrey, of San Francisco, are mentioned among the failures. The newly-discovered diggings at the Kern River were in great favour, pLople flocking thither in thousands, both by land and water. The most wonderful stories were reported, Rains had fallen abundantly, and all the streams were swollen. At Sacramento the river had risen rapidly, and was only two or three feet below the maximum height attained since the foundation of the city. The Pacific Express Company had taken the place of Adams and Co.'s Express. The latter concern had almost entirely disappeared. A specimen of almost pure gold, worth $876, had been taken out of a place in the neighbourhood of Downierille, Sierra county. An enterprising firm at San Francisco had put up a brig with despatches for Japan. From the Sandwich Islands we learn that the new King had issued a neutrality proclamation, and a no tification that the Governments of Great Britain and France and the United States had offered him assistance to maintain his Government. From Mexico we learn that Santa Anna bad re turned to the capital, and had been received with salvoes of artillery and other demonstrations of j,-.y. Tie revolution was said to be losing ground. One of the chiefs of the late Boul bon expedition, Captain Matthew Thomas, representing himself as an Ame rican citizen, had been arrested and sent to San Francisco. . The steam-ship Black Warrior had arrived with dates from Havamiah to the 28th ult. Pinto, the chief of the conspirators had been put to death, anti Cada,lzo and Pinelo, it was supposed, would be sentenced to 10 years in the chain..tang in Africa. An effort to procure their execution was, however, being made. The Consul of. the United States is reported to have notified to the Captain General, by direction of Secretary Marcy, that " if one drop of American blood is spilled in the present crisis the Government of the United States will not be ~,nswerable for the result." An American citizen, Francisco Estranges, is under sentence of death. Arrests contineel to be made. In New York business continued without im pv e'ne ut. Stagnation prevailed in every depart ment of trade. Capital was a bundant at 6to 7 r o per cent. on call loans. In the stock-market there was a slight concession iu prices on the part of sel lers. In foreign exchange the transactions were only to a tnoderate extent, and sterling closed less firmly at 91 to 10k. Paris, eiT c., were quoted at sf. 121 c. and to 51. 10c., and on Bremen, 79:, 7 to 80. The cotton market closed firm, but the prices were ic. below those current a week previously. Light receipts continued to be reported at the Southern Ports. Flour had advanced 121 to 25c. There was no inquiry for export at the high prices current. Provisions were firm, with an active de mur]. NAval stores dull. The demand for Scotch pig-iron was light, aild as holders were firm the sales were only in small lots at $3O to $3l at six ; months. In freights the market generally was without change, and the offers in all directions continued light. --- A. SHIP ABANDONED AT SEA.—The Fanny Giffney, Live' pn.n New York, sprang a lealc se. .on after leaving port, which inerea,in4, she was :than (l.ned on the sth of 1114r,h, between St. Croix and St. Thomas with 14 feet of water in her hold, and sank almost immediately after ; the crew and passengers oiled. El MA lIKET A.NI , '( ) M MERCIAL I 1 T gLLIGEACE, CITY, Two o'CLocic. The cotton market at Liverpool yesterday closed very firmly, but prices were without altera tion. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales (1,000 of which were for export, and 1,000 on speculation), comprising 420..Pernam and Maran ham at 51 to 7i ; 200. Egyptian at 6d. to lid. ; and 1,200 Surat at 30. to 4d. per lb. The Rail way share market closed heavily, but prices keep firm. There are no colonial arrivals. The New York letters to the 4th inst. represent business as being dull, and the Californian failures had caused an uneasy feeling. Messrs. Page, Bacon, and Co. of St. Louis, had again suspended payment, as will be seen by the following : " It is with sorrow that we announce the suspen sion of the firm of Page and Bacon of St. Louis. Their drafts were again dishonoured at their agency to-day, arid the second suspension has overtaken the firm at a time when its friends hoped it had regained sufficient strength to su-taro its resumption. The position of affairs in Calif ,rnia, and the protracted suspension of the house of Page, Bacon, and Co., of San Francisco. is the principal cause of the relapse of the house in St. Louis Drafts to a large amount on the San Francisco Imuse have been sent on here for payment, and so far as the means of the house here would admit, have been liquidated. This weakened the firm of Page and Bacon, which, with the absence of remittances of geld, compelled the St. Louis firm to falter again in their payments. It will be very difficult for this concern to resume again, and we fear the only course left is to go into liquidation and close up. It now appears that the resumption in Feb ruary last was premature ; that it should have been post poned until return advices had been received from Cali fornia, so that the worst would have been known." The Mexican adcices represent the government as being generally successful against the revolu tionists. From Guatemala a party writes under date of Feb. 10, that— - "lii th face of heavy government debts, the House of Assembly ha I re...hied to increa-e the salary of the President to $20.000 per annum ; and in order to be able to carry out this cherished " spoils " scheme, members intended to raise the tariff duties on foreign importations, adding so much to the 24 per cent. already charged as would almost completely annihilate all legiti mate trade with other countries. Smuggling would, it was thought, largely increa , e. The lion. J. L. Marling, United States Minister, had arrived at Guatemala. In San Salvador the people were agitated with the discus sion of a proper site for their new capital. Many pro per y holders want to have the city rebuilt, in its old situation, in defiance of former and expected earth- Oak es." Although the Norwegian Board of the Trunk Railway, under whose charge the practical working of the undertaking is placed, have advised the English directors that it is not their intention to issue any report until September, when the annual dividend becomes payable, it has been thought de sirable by these latter to address a few words to the preference shareholders in order that there may be no misapprehension in reference to the position in which they stand. It must be borne in mind that from the net an nual receipts of the railway, the preference share holders are entitled to 5 per cent. on their capital befure . any further division of profits can take place. During the last year the question was raised, whener, in case the net receipts of any one-half year did not amount to a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, the difference ought to be made up on the receipts of the half-year next en suing. This point was settled by its being arranged that the division of profits should for the present take place annually, a decision to which the Eng- 1211 ) 0 11.31 2 2 I 25 a St. 10 10 GI to I 1 .1,5 I 25 I Al 25 It. 1.01 St. till 1.0 al St. It) 50 al 20 al , St 10 St. :0 St. !.0 St '0 4. 12141 ts4,l 20 al LI al Bt, ;t.

To this, the principal branch of thetraffie, there has been, therefore, a considerable check, but as may easily be perceived, it is probable that the greater portion of this decrease will be recovered and that the transport of the timber is, in fact, not lost to the railway, but deferred. The directors have found on the other baud that the returns of passenger and ordinary goods traffic for the present year show a progressive increase, and they conceive that notwithstanding the derangement produced by the unsettled state of the north of Europe, there is still every prospect of the twelvemonths traffic being found equal to all re asonable ex p ecta• Cons. The Hon. the East India Company have now formerly notified to the Bombay Baroda, and Cen tral India Railway Company, the immediate con struction of a portion of their line of railway, com mencing at Surat and proceedinglo Baroda and Ahmedabad, on the understanding that this com pany are, when required, - to continue the line from Surat to Bombay. A guaranteed interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum is at the same time granted iu the first instande upon 500,000/., the am o unt of capital required to ma ke the first portion of the line.

The Debuts and the Pays, however, vary the uniformity other journals with political discussions. The former indulges in some speculations on what may be the tone of opinion and possible resolves at St. Petersburg as well as at Vienna. It observes that— It is not only at Vienna, it is also at St. Petersburg that the conditions of the future peace have provoked long and animated discor-sions. There is at St. Peters. bur g a war party as well at a pea - ce party ; these two parties have their representatives in the councils of the empire, and are not without influence on the resole ti ,ns of the Government. The war patty has the pre tension of being the national party par excellence, and th e most fa thful representation of Russian nationality. It shows itself singularly jea'eus for the honour and grandeur of Russia ; it is full of respect and devotion for the national religion, which it professes ex clusively, and as the masses have come to be persuaded that the actual war is a holy war, it is drawn towards the peacew a p r a b r y ty, the religious i g experiencedi ous ardour tohfa than the h a p t o p o u f l a w ti a o r n , i le n ty s ie t i r ip u rna c t t or e ir d oet thei is n t is prudent,aiff a ci i 7 r r e n f .b7 E l tm u e r z o dl p ieg e r , ha a tt ti finality is dear to it, but it desires it in utireflected enterprise s ; it would not hear any taint to the honour and dignity of the imperial crown, but its opinion is that this honour and dignity would not euffer because sacrifices painful and necessary, coun , selled by the interests of the country, should be sub :: nod and enlightened t dno; thatße ours : parbon circumspect. accountnit Themar ;milted to. The contest between the war party and the peace party has been reanimated, as might be expected, on occasion of the c ommunications which Prince Goreschakoff and M. do Tit iff have transmitted to their Government iu the recent deliberations of the Confer. ence at Vienna, on demanding fresh instructions and powers.' 'Tie tfrebtits proceeds to show that at St. Peters burg the g. eat stumbling-block was still the third condition oS guarantee. Various combinations had been proposod at Vienna for its solution, and dis cussed either officially in the Conference, or offici vate reunions of its members, from ously in the whence had restin,d the one advantage at least of a precise indication of the light in which that con dition is viewed and the real impressions under which it was conceived. The question, according to the Debats, was thus placed by the plenipoten tiaries of the allied powers : "To put an end to the preponderance of Russia in the Black Sea, it will not suffice that measures should be taken, which would impose on Turkey and her Allies an active and incessant surveillance and confirmed saer:fices. In the long run such rue osures would infallibly lose their efficacy ; they would become impracticable on the day that the alliance which is formed agLinst Russia should be dissolved or simply relaxed. That which we must have is a real, notable, and direct weakening in that sea, proceeding from a reduction of her leaval forces ; and a form of in ternational relations which may prevent Russia from the clandestine restoration of her marine, and preserve Europe from a sudden and unforeseen irruption.—r-This declaration so formal excluded all other system. pro posed. . . . It is precisely that which the Russian plenipotentiaries have in the first instance provisionally repelled in the Confereuce, in demanding all the while new instructions from St. Petersburg. This system might equally combine with the closure of the straits, and with the abolition of this principle. . . . Eng land would not consent in any case to open to Russian ships the way which would lead them direct from the Black Sea to the Mediterrant-an. Such is, if we are well informed, the truth of the situation which Prince Gortschakuff and M. de Titoff hive laid before their Court. . . . . The last news we have received from St. Pitershurg makes us fear that the Emperor Atexaiider has replied by an absolute refusal to the demands tif the Ailed Pewers. The cornmunictions of Prince G. rt chaktiff and M. de 'Nail have restored the coutlience of the ear patty, who, for three months, had lust ground at St. Petetsburg. Notwithstanding this party, the Emperor Nicholas ha 1 accepted, without re strictien, the protocol of the 28th December, and given Prince Gett-cliakoff conciliatory instructions, with the faculty of making in the bosom of the Conferences at Vienna, all such honourable concessions as might facili tate the adoption of the first, second, and fourth con ditions of goara,nt,(.." Toe Emperor Nicholas reserved the third condi tion for more complete explanations, but with indications of a man compliant in mood, and a d:s position to admit proposals of a tempering ten dency. The war party avail themselves of these facts and statements for the justification of their doctrines, and for securing their ascendancy over the Emperor Alexadider. They say, plausibly and not unnaturally, also not without popular effect : "You see the concessions of the Emperor Nicholas do not suffice. Russ'a, ha- renounced her pr , teetorate over the rrincipalitiee, ler rights over the Danube, her pro tectorate over the Christian subjects of the Porte, that is to say, the pubtical and religious authority which she had acquired Rite long and sanguinary wars. It is all over with her ii flueece over the Greek populations of Eur..pe, who will learn that they must no longer count upon her support. What she abandons to-day without combat, in other times she would haze defended to the last extremity, at the loss of ler last man, and the cost of her last rouble. l'hey exact from Russia the destruc tion by her own hands of her fleet in the Black Sea, so necessaiy to her repose and security. It is required that she shall cease to protect her ports and commerce, and interdict herself the meansof continuir g efficaciously the war she has pursued for so many years in the Caucasus. The Emperor Nicholas would not have tolerated even the discussion of such conditions. The Emperor Alexander will no more suffer it, were it only from respect for the memory of his father . . . The partisans of peace have not remained without defence ; they have recalled the powerful considerations which had influenced the Emperor Nicholas, and deve loped with great force those suggested by the actual state of affairs ; Russia engaged alone in a terrible war against Europe fully to be concluded. Russia did not wish, for this war, into which she has been led by the rash counsels of those who now repulse con ditions of p eace. Those 1 conditions are not humiliatng, whatever may be said; x 'lley do not seriously affect the interests of Russia. vy :hen the Emperor Nicholas decided on abandoning the protectorate of the Principalities, that of the Greek Chris.' tans, and his rights over the Danube, he was re advantages ill defined, very contestible, And is more apparent than real, &c." The Debata concludes that— : t ozn; l casex g ‘f u.o. ; aprOy, as we are informed, it is the opinion which ha s Prevailed, and that the new instructions of Prince Go.rtschakoff prescribe to him the repulse of ever.,` e w anti i i " t : h I : b u l t any ape proposition tending to the reduction of the naval forces •f Russia in i - he 28:ack Sea. . . . .

DESTRUCTION OF CAPTAIN BARTLETT'S MANSION BY FIRE AT ERlTll.—Ye4t , rday to , ruing a fire of a terrific ehai acter, aid attended with a considerable loss of pro perty, happened on the extensive premises in the occus, piticn of Captain Bartlett, situate at Holy -billy Er ie ".
