They seen to pssals a hydra-like quality ; for no sooner is one angry head disposed of than another even more menacing spring.; up, and taxes all our forbearance and energies to • avert the fatal consequences that may arise froni its reckless action. There are a number of per sons of the " HANNISAL CaOLLOP " class, who chuckle as they chew, and, expectorating their bile with their tobacco juice, talk of " walloping the Britishers," and " extractin g the claws from the Lion," as if they were the easiest tasks ima ginable. These habitual boasters would be beneath contempt ware it not for the countenance and support which they have received from the existing Government, which bids largely for the support of these " loose fish "—paraphrasing the exclamation of TESPASTAN, nov olet nummus, by the declaration that " one vote" is as good as another; and that a filibustering ticket is not to be rejected, providing it could turn the scale at the election, and give a renewed tenure of office to the Democratic party, who feel with dismay .bat coveted ground rapidly slipping from beneath them. Hence the onslaughts on the linglish Government in reference to the Central American and Enlistment questions, and the un ceremonious expulsion of the British Minister and Consuls. These insults were, however, partially submitted to by England. They were probably regarded as merely electioneering dodges by the out-going President, and dealt with in such a spirit that might have tamed the most pugnacious specimens of humanity into placability. But it is clear that all our efforts to maintain peace with our choleric and grasping oousins will be neutralised so long as the PIERCE party is at the head of affairs. Not only was the most com plete and satisfactory answer ever returned by an independent nation to an accuser forwarded to Washington —not only was the contumelious treatment of Mr. Caamprox and the Consuls passed over, without in any degree affecting the reception accorded to Mr. DALLAS, but we have yi e ld e d the full ex. tent of the demands so unreasonably preferred, and the British protectorate of the Mosquito ter ritory, which was so long maintained, has been formally abandoned. Even the Isle of Ruatan has been surrendered, in obedience to a strictly literal interpretation of the CLAYTON-BULWER Treaty. Raving thus done everything on our part to prevent th e possibility of war, and to render the Western political horizon perfectly cloudless, we find a new aggression threatened, to which even American writ ers a d m i t it i s perfectly impossible that England could submit. No sooner has one conflagration been extinguished than a 8 fre h fire brand is recklessly, we should almost say ad vi s edl y,, cast into the combustible mass , and those who should, from their position, strive to suppress the fl ames are only intent on adding f res h fuel thereto. It can scarcely be credited that within a few weeks—we might almost say days—from the supposed termination of the Central American difficulty, when England had yielded on every point to the PIERCE MARCY constructi on o . CLATTON-BULWER Treaty, than itsthe wilful and deliberate violation is proposed by an United Commissioner to the Cabinet of Washington, and as seriously taken into consideration by its m em _ bers. say, we receive a semi-official hint that the President and "JEFF DAvis," the War Minister, cordially concur in the recommendation, LYCEUM THEATRE ROYAL, Lessee, Mr. Charles Dillon.

Who is to answer the impudent circular of Russia P Time was when a diplomatist on the other side of the channel could reply to a NES - SELRODZ in a style which elicited commenda tions even from one of the ablest judges, Lord LYNDSUBST. But that pen has long been silent. It is now wielded by one of whose capacities in that line we have records in the Protocols against the Belgian Press. Worse than that, one who could at the Conference, consign to oblivion, that is to a grave in Russian barbarism, the country whence he drew his name ; one, too, who shared his master's solicitude for Russian " dignity," and who did his best to leave her as big as ever, albeit somewhat faint with depletion of roubles and soldiers. Cunt WlLzwsict is the last man we should wish to tell Russia what the world, of freemen, think of her. An American fellow slaveholder would do it as well. He would take counsel with Baron SEEBACII, or per haps send to Russia, as he did about making PELISSIER Duke of Malakhoff, to know how his newly-crowned Czarship would like the docu ment to be worded. When DROITYNDE was Corresponding Secretary to the Allies, we had also the additional advantage of getting the docu ments in the Moniteur, or some where, when Pat- Liament was not sitting. Our Lord PAL3IERSTON could do it ; and do it as it ought to be done—but dares ho do it ? Wita.t would his Coburg and Paris masters say if he did ? What would become of the alliance the alliance between constitutional liberty and the aesp , itism of police, spies, Cayenne, and a :;aged Press, if PALMERSTON were to write 1 to the British agents over all Europe in the old Palmers!onian style ; in the style which gained him his character both lvre and abroad, and for which this country made him Prime Minister of the War Cabinet I :Russia needs a thorough diplomatic hutriblin(: , in the eyes of all the East and the West. " The Precious Peace," once concluded, knowing that silo had honest Governments to deal with, she returned at once to her old kna very and assumptions, quite confident that she would be dealt with as she wisho - 1, not as she deserved. Her entire behaviour since has fully justified our denunciations of this year's winter and spring policy. Russia was indeed made to ask for peace—but she was not made to do it on her knees It ,vas essential to the repose of the world that she should be thoroughly humbled and weakened—our most experienced Statesman in the Lords told our Government this, but nothing would do except "saving Ru ss i a h umilia tion" —saving her the very thing which, for Europe's sake, she needed. The immediate consequences were, the Isle of Serpents, the retention of Kars, the destruction of the fortifications, and the attack on the Cir cassians--and now, before the crown is well got easy on the bead of the Czar, and while the special ambassadors aro yet at his court, this shameless lecture from him whom we ought to have made afraid to open his mouth as arbiter of Europe again. Surely wo had enough of that kind of thing from NICHOLA S ; and we ought to have taken good care that it was buried in his grave. We should think every British offieer and in telligent private who reads this Circular must bite his lips from very annoyance, that the whippers in at home sounded back just as the game was in view. How they must feel to see such a reward for their toils, and wounds, and sacrifices ! One campaign more, and they would have saved Prime Ministers and Secretaries the humiliation •f such saucy circulars as these, and the trouble of answer ing them. They would not have left Russia as big territorially as ever; they would have spared all quibblings about Bolgrad and the Isle of Serpents. They would have taught her to raise the question rather; whether the new boundary was to cut off Bessarabia as well as the Crimea and Circassia, or Poland as well as both, or Finland as well as the other four. They would not have left her to lecture the Allies about the " sanctity equality of the r i g ht s o f S overe i gns, and their among themselves, however small their ' territories,"—while she herself swaggers in this style through having absorbed, _,n all sides, Sove reigns once as independent au ie Czars. Why, following her example, Enfzland and France might not merely threaten tyrants who are be come a European nuisance ; they might, on Rus sian, and Prussian, and Austrian , principles too, divide their dominions among themselves 1 Well —the thing is done for the present ; and our EVANSES, and WILLIAMSES, and %%imams, and the LA MARIfORAS abroad, are now doomed to read these insulting circulars, from the very foe they have with such weak magnanimity been ordered to leave half punished. With all his pretensions, however, wo must confess that the braggart somewhat betrays Lira_ self. GORTSCHAKOFF is clever, very clever ; but h e is not quite a NESSELRODE yet. He would not have trumped up an excuse for the vox et p ne t er ea nihil of his Circular, would not have betrayed that nothi►ig was intended. bu t Pcli-work. Very patriotic, to be sure, so that the mischief may be effected before the election of FREMONT will scotch the snake for at least four years to come. A certain AMOS B. CORwDTE, who had doubtless received full in structions from head-quarters, and knew what might be made a handle of to advance his own personal interests, has the rather doubtful merit of kindling the torch on the present occasion. He declares that he feels it " a duty incumbent on him to recommend the immediate occupancy of the Isthmus from ocean to ocean by the United States." It is true that he qualifies the suggestion by hinting that it may not be indispensable, if New Granada can satisfy as to her ability and inclination to afford proper protec tion, and to make speedy and ample atonement for the wrongs inflicted (1) on his countrymen. As, however, another conclusion is that the govern ment of New Granada is unable to maintain law and enforce order on this Isthmus, and afford adequate protection to the transit, it is quite manifest that this is a distinction without a difference, and that the proposal should be taken without any drawback. Where, then, is this fillibus tering system, openly patronised by the Cabi net at Washington, to end ? It is manifest that British forbearance, or, as some might term it, British poltroonery must some time cease. We cannot for ever remain " a chopping block" on which Yankee Commissioners are to exercise their wits. A wise and prudent Cabinet would administer severe censure to the party who so far and so unwarrantably exceeds the limits assigned to him, and ventures to recommend what would involve his goveznment in a well-founded charge of iolated faith, and his country in a formidable war. Mr. Antos B. CORWINB as sent merely to investigate facts. He usurps the functions of the Executive by recommending the course to be adopted. So long as every petty official is permitted to pursue such a course with impunity, and to disturb the mind of the people with such projects, it is impossible to hope that the Government can maintain amicable relations with other independent nations. POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. -.., Last evening a meeting was held in the theatre of this institution, to hear an inaugural address from the Rev. J. B. Owen, on the occasion of the opening of the classes for teaching at very low fees, adapted to the means of all, the subjects required by the examiners of the Society of Arts. On the motion of Mr. PEPPER, the Rev. Dr. Booth, treasurer of the Society of Arts, took the chair. The Rev. J. B. OWEN said they were assembled ther e that evening to inaugurate the commencement of a highly important conjunction on the part of that institution with the Royal Society of Arts, with respect to its depart meat of examinations for prizes and certificates for the pupils of science. He begged to express his gratitude to the council of the Society cf Arts for the liberal concession which they had made in this case, and which was highly creditable to them, and which was in accordance with the true genius of science—which like true religion, was a question of no party, but is in the interest of every party whose symbol is " the Jeru salem above, which is free, and the mother of us all." The fees of each class, of 14 lessons, proposed to be opened, would be 53., or at the rate of 41d. for each. Great credit was due to Mr. Pepper, the lessee of the institution, for having ventured upon this experiment of cheap philosophy and science made easy, to bring down their ennobling studies to within reach of all classes in the metropolis. He trusted the effort would be seconded by the number of pupils desirous of availing themselves of the privileges of the institution in this regard. Ile did not anticipate any failure in the matter, for the growing appetite for scientific pursuits in the Young England mind was one of the favourable signs of the times. The rev. lecturer then referred to the various scientific discoveries which had been male—such as the art of printing, the mariner's compess, the circulation of the blood, the functions of the brain, and the nervous system--in chemistry, in electricity, steam, and the like. Many of these discoveries had been made in our own times. He then observed that the Polytechnic Institu tion was the great medium through which many of these discoveries were made familiar to the minds of the public, and which were taught in a manner most agreeable and acceptable to all. The proposed classes would increase the advantages of the institution, and would enhance its value amongst the public. The rev. gentleman's address was received with ap plause throughout. - After a few brief speeches from some of the gentlemen on the platform, thanks were given to the chairman and Mr. Pepper, and the meeting separated. Thcre were between 1,000 and 2,000 persons in the theatre. SijRRBY TB PiATRg. Last evening this theatre was filled to overflowing to .itness the revival of a very favourite melodrama, en titled the " Flower Girl," which was not long since pro duced hero with great effect. It has been reproduesd with great care, and Mr. Crelwick has heightened its attraction byassumingthe character of the hero, Michael Cranou, the Convict Marquis, a capital pat t, to which he gives great effect by his bold, broad, vigorous melo dramatic acting. Miss Mania, as Madelon, the Flower Girl, is pleasing and interesting filer mad scene in the last act is really pathetic. Mr. Widdicornba (the Wright •` the Surrey) kept the house in roars of laughter by his facetite, and the whole reception of the piece showed that it will have another run as long as the la,t.

The state of Europe might tempt him to philanthropic enter prises like that of NICHOLAS against Turkey, but he means to limit his philanthropy to patriotism. Why, yes, to be sure, that is very prudent. W e fancy it would be rather dangerous work at home were he to attempt marching his forces just now beyond his own boundaries, or taking his fleet out of theßaltic just yet. NESSELRODE would not have faced about like a thrashed schoolboy after he had got far enough out of the way of his conqueror. After all, the Allies are foiled doubly—they wanted to save the dignity of Russia, but she won't be dignified—they wanted to check her arrogance, and she's as arrogant as ever. To have accepted her defeat and acted accordingly would have been dignity in misfortune—to talk like a conqueror in the preamble, but to apologise for impotence in the peroration, is what neither Hngland, nor France, nor Sardinia, nor Turkey, have ever done. It's the big Circular of a little mind, after all. LATEST _NEWS. THE FRENCH BUDGET. PARIS, TUESDAY MORNING. The Moniteur publishes a report of the Minis ter of Finance, relative to the Budget of 1856. The most remarkable points advanced by the Minister are the following " That not only the amount of revenue of 1854 has been attained and passed—not only the extraordinary level of 1855 is reached---but the first months of the present year, compared with the corresponding months of the last year, show a considerable increase. The increase, for the first six months alone, is 63,000,000 as against 1854, and 26,000,000 as against 1855. " Much has been said of the exportation of bullion. A succession of bad harvests, the pur chase of silk from foreign sources, and other less legitimate causes, have influenced, no doubt, the export of French coin. Silver especirlly has become the objects of a trade which disturbs the public mind. The trade consists in select ing the finest coins, and obtaining for them their surplus value. This unfair choice of coin, which tends to destroy the general equili brium, was by ancient law considered as a high misdemeanour, and was punished by severepenal ties. Modern legislation cannot be powerless against such an abuse, which has nothing in com mon with the undisputed principle of commercial liberty. The Government of your Majesty is justly concerned about the matter. "The two first loans have been entirely paid up, and the terms of the last, which will suffice to liquidate all the expenses of the war, are ful filled with exactitude. "The public revenue is augmenting in a hitherto unparalleled proportion. The taxes are paid with the most exact punctuality, end even The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post (second edition), in lus letter dated yesterday, says : " If I am correctly informed concerning the state of Naples despatches must have reached London, showing the necessity of immediately sending vessels to Naples for the protection of British subjects. There seems to be no doubt that the police of the Court, headed by Campagnia, have received orders to organise the lazzaroni, with a view of attacking the property of any one who may be pointed out by their leaders. The lazzaroni of certain quarters of the city are said to have already received money from the Court. "An ordinary telegraphic despatch appears this evening in the French journal; giving news from Naples up to Oct. 2. It is here declared that M. Martini, the Austrian Ambassador, arrived at Naples on the 29th. The King had returned to Naples, from Gaeta, for the purpose of holding a Cabinet Council. The despatch then says that a report was very genera! about the formation of anew Ministry, and that Gen. Filangieri had been named as likely to come into office. If there be any truth in this telegraphic news, the King is acting with more wisdom and less obstinacy than usual. As regards Gen. Filangieri, he is the soldier who commanded the Sicilian expedition, was afterwards appointed governor of the island, and certainly ruled with in telligence. Therefore, as might be expected, he fell into disgrace with the King and was recalled, Prince Cassecicala taking his place. Filangieri is said to have ever advised the King to make an alli ance with France and England rather than Austria, a Power without a fleet, and Russia a friend that could not very easily approach the Two Sicilies if called upon to do so by political events. But there is one reason why General Filangieri might not be acceptable to the King at the present mo ment ; he is an old soldier of the days of Murat, and Ferdinand is very sensitive on that subject. At all events it is well to regard with caution the , whole of the information in this despatch for the moment. The Patric says M. Martini was the bearer of a letter from the Emperor of Austria to the King of Naples urging him to give way. Had his Majesty done so wo might have heard something about it by this time; but yesterday we got quite contrary news from Vienna." RUSSIAN CORONATION FETES. (F, )2n th?. Second Edition of the Times.) MOSCOW, SEPT. 23. The English Ambassador and Lady Granville's state ball on Wednesday night was very brilliant and very successful. The Emperor and Empress, the Grand Dukes Constantine and Michael, the Grand Duchesses Constantine and Marie, honoured the party by their presence, and all the Foreign Am bassadors and Ministers and suites, as well as the principal Russian nobility, and every person of note in Moscow, attended this splendid reunion, which appropriately terminated the princely hospitalities that have distinguished the English Ambassador's residence in this city. To mention all the great people would be impossible, seeing that about nine hundred parsons were present, most of them of high rank or position, and some of whom were so anxious indeed to pay their respects to Lord and Lady Granville that they came without any invitation whatever. Some thirty or forty people offered our Embassy this high compliment. Pue outside of the Graziani Palace was illuminated with coloured lamps, which cast a bright glow on a crowd of faces in the streets, all silent and quiet, as a Russian crowd ever is. In order to provide danc ing room for such a large assemblage, a very spacious and handsome apartment had been erected with in finite pains and trouble, projecting over the garden at the rear of the house, on a level with the drawing room floor, into which it opened. The top and sides ware formed by a monster tent or marcinee striped white and red, with alcoves—one at one side for the orchestra, another opposite for those who might desire to retire from the dance. At the further extremity were the communications with the sup per rooms. The entrance to this temporary ball room was effected by means of a passage brined by canvass, which led from the hall through the gar den, and so up by a staircase to the level of the first floor. This passage, which wound through the natural trees of the garden, had two branches, in one of which was a comfortable little buffut, well provided with good wine; it was lighted with variegated lamps, and had a very pretty effect, and it was very useful in removing the pressure of so large a party on the front stair case. The usual reception-romn of the palace was fitted up with much taste and magnificence for the supper of the Emperor and Empress, the Imperial family, the high ambassadors, and the ladies of the Imperial court. One long table, covered with silver epergnes, goblets,' and cups of the finest workmanship which English hands could produCe, and with beautiful white china extended along one side of the room. On the wail, over one extremity of the table, there was an oil full-length of the Queen, which Mr. Ker, one of the attaches to Lord Wodehouse's mission, managed with I small means to paint verycreditably, and with great rapidity. Two round tables, equally well-ap pointed, were placed at the other side for those of the Court who did not sit at the principal table. The large room used for dancing at Lady Gran villes's previous balls was arranged as a supper room for the distinguished polloi who were not included in the guests at the tables of the Imperial party. A long table, well supplied with silver plate, scarcely sufficed to sustain various dishes--hams, the hams, tongues, jellies, p foies Bras which were placed on it, particularly as it was rather weak on its legs, and was exposed to laotaesd tie of against it. tables were spread at the other side of the room, a great strain all A n n ig u h m t b f e ro r m of th s e m c a ro ll w r d o w un h d ich au p x r i e li s a se ry d seat at one of which was an object of much exer tion and ambition, or of patience not always re warded. A row of gold plate and salvers adorned the buffet along the wall, and all the supper was served on silver plate. Here France had again come to the evinced heedl 3 M. by the of England, and th e en t en t e cordiale be tween de 'Morey and L or d G ranville was v presence of the servants of the French Embassy, who were lent on t hi s S tate occa sion to assist in meeting the great exigencies of th e night, a service which has, I believe, been recipro e cated in kind. The vases in the Emperor's supper room were adorned by a profusion of flowers and rich bouquets, and the effect of these rooms, all very brilliantly lighted with wax, was uncommonly warm and comfortable. It was about 9.30 when the Emperor and Empress arrrived. They were re ceived by Lord and Lady Granville at the stairs, and the attaches and suite of the Embassy were also in attendance. The Grand Dukes and Duchesses and the ladies of the Court followed, and the party proceeded to the ball-room. On entering the or chestra struck up a polonaise. The Ambassador was honoured by the hand of the Czarina, the Emperor led forth Lady Granville, and the ball was opened by a stately promenade in this order, from one end of the room to the other, to the strains of the band, in a kind of measured step, the finely dressed and glittering crowd opening atptm a ni wai n oedi d ont ofnpd l noeosirf:l which followed hawoc a di el ee n dvdh d , forming aaoinnturicdideetedhrEi: e riTiwsnhpaa w ecet keri Gansoel Princess oa, s fanda w ndnot h dhdp i eL c u h Eii kgi preciousn i fl oens a spet s a:r h ane flashed dsndspdtawouhodptehhs hostess. n g ssbe i ces h a ei es._ their e so p i o n l o on k a i i n se d , vs o s t n h t er w s, as to i o n k u p n a i r f t or i m n o th f n o t n e e d o b f E E . s v t e e r r y l a nl z a y n an p d l coortioptshedrw, aunodfththeeromoamnyoffverreescel y th t e h ebsrei brightest liant coronation fetes. MONDAY, SEPT. 29. The ball given last night by M. de Morny, the French Ambassador, was a triumph in its way, and it may be safely pronounced the most splendid and successful entertainment of the kind that has been given here during the fetes. The rooms were admi rably disposed and used to the best effect, and the temporary ball-room was so pretty and elegant that, in spite of some incongruities of colour in °Lie or two places, it may be pronounced ono of the very few erections of the kind which it would be a pity to take down aga i n. This apartment nearly a square in form with a large quadrilateral recess at one side in which was the alcove for the chairs of the Imperial guests, was constructed in the garden at the back of the Palace, and was admirably adapted for all its purposes except in one respect—there was no parquet, and the new floor, which was covered with a composition of wax for dancing, scarcely formed the best possible surface for the contact of I that would follow, and to which French and Eng lish residents would be alike exposed, would force us to interfere in a more direct manner than we could wish. The question is one of great diffi culty." 55 satin shoes and wafer -soled boots. The sides of this square were covered with a delicate gold lat tice-work, within which were twined wreaths of ivy from the floors to the top of the apartment. The effect of this green and charming —the arched roof of which in the centre rose into a kind of cupola, was covered with an imitation in green and gold of the lattice -work and natural leaves below. High up near the ceiling was placed an orchestra, which as well as the door and the sides of the alcove was hung with a flowered silk damask „bat some critics found fault with for want of har mony in colour with the prevailing tone of the ball-room. The alcove was lined with rich tuffted blue cloth and silk at the back. The room was sur rounded at the sides by a continuous line of otto mans and sofas, covered with silk to correspond with the drapery of the doorways and orchestra. Magni ficient mirrors deflected the brilliant scene in every direction. On the roof were large medallions of Cupids and infant Bacchi contemplating the com pany with great satisfaction. The lighting was very successful ; handsome chandeliers, re-hating from a central! sun of wax-lights, threw a perfect light from above ; but all the annoyances of shadow and vertical ill*mination were obviated by the dis position of very massive and richly gilt candlesticks or candelabra at the side, of the room. All the pilasters and the window-frames, the lines of the facade, the porch, the eaves, and the lines of the roof were traced in lines of richly harmonised light emerald green, gold-colour, red, ultramarine, and light blue, combined most per fectly, and above all, shadowed out in fire, was the Imperial eagle and cipher. me comp an y were more numerous than at Prince Esterhazy's. The attendance of Russian nobility was very large, and in addition to the Emperor and Em press, all the members of the Royal Family, with the exception of the Grand Duchess Helene were present. MONDAY NIGHT. The feu d'artifice to-night was on a scale of the greatest magnitude, but again the weather was un favourable to the people. FRANCE, PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. The Emperor and Empress left St. Cloud yester day afternoon in an open carriage for the Bois de Boulogne, to see the cascade of Longchamps play for the first time in presence of their Majesties. The cascade succeeded perfectly, and was much admired. The Council -General of the Bank of France has reduced to 60 days the date of bills which will be received on discount. The measure comes into operation to-day. The Messager de Bayonne says :—" The active division assembled on our frontier under the com mand of General Crosbon is about to be dissolved. Two of the regiments composing it are, however, to remain in the country—the 51st at Pau, the 3d at Bayonne." BOURSE, Oct. 6.--The Bank of France havi. decided that they would not discount the bills hav jug more than 60 days to run, and having also adopted new restrictions to their advances on secu rities, refusing to lend more than 40 per cent. on Rente, and 20 per cent. on Railway Shares or De bentures, for a period of only one month.

The new law on the provincial deputations will shortly appear. A royal decree, in the Gazette, dissolves the Commission on Codes, and appoints a new one of seven members under the presidency of M. Cortina. The Epoca announces that M. Garcia y Tassara, whom it calls a " distinguished orator and writer," has been appointed minister to the United States, and that M. Galiano, who was formerly minister at Washington, has been appointed to Lisbon. Admiral Estrada, commander of the division of Ferrol, spoken of as likely to be appointed to the command of the squadron to be sent to Naples, had been summoned to Madrid. Tho Official Veiona Gazelle, a journal written under the eye of the Austrian Government, has for some time past been entertaining its readers with virulent al against England. In its num ber of the 3d it contrasts the moderation of Rus sia as regards Bolgrad and the Island of Serpents with that of England, which "is at this moment meditating the devastation of the Two SicP;es by fire and sword, because they have not the good for tune to possess a parliament and a press like that of England." In another passage, England is re presented as desirous "of perpetuating in Greece the disastrous consequences of the war." It is ra ther singular that, in all his articles the editor omits to mention France, or even to hint at her existenee. The Moniteur de l'Armee contains the follow ing :—" The Shah of Persia has just founded a military college, destined for the instruction of young officers. The Prince takes the most lively interest in this establishment; which is near his palace in Teheran. The instruction consists of mathematics, drawing of plans, the principles of the military art, and the French language, the knowledge of which is indispensable, as, strange to say, all the words of command are given in French." The Danish Ministry has not been foamed, all the endeavours made having failed. The Cham bers, which opened on the 4th, have been prorogued to the Ist December. The King will preside at the Grand Council." A letter from odena, in the Risorgimento Turin, st a t es that the Duke of Modena is fortifyin of g his fronti ers on tho side of Piedziont, and building a new fort under the walls of Reggio. The Monitore Toscano publishes a Grand Duce decree, authorising the establishment of a company under the name of Ferdinand Railway Company, for the construction of a line between Florence and Rome, through Arezzo. THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON AND THE LONDON PRESS. t g The Oonstitutionnel of Sunday rejoices at the change • of sentiment which it discovers in the leading articles of the London papers; and states that the latter "have be • come more just towards France, and more grateful to jthe Emperor ' than was the case some time ago. That ournal thus expresses itself .-- " We take note with sincere satisfaction of the protes tations of friendship which the serious and elevated por tion of the English press is now pleased to offer to the French Government. We will not inquire whether it is •not to the unexpected appearance of the Russian circular that the actual attitude of the London journals is to be attribute°. Should this be the case the document of Prince Gortschakoff will have had a result which cer tainly had not been anticipated or desired ; it will have contributed to draw nearer in the face of eventualities the moral and material alliance of two great nations and of two powerful courts, which, united, mao serve, without dant - ger La- themselves, the cause of humanity and of civi lisation over the whole globe. But it would be both tin-- just and narrow-sighted on the part of the English press not to acknowledge the immense services which the Imperial Government has been able to render since its establishment to the cause of European order, and to the general peace. We will merely add that as alliance such as that which France and England formed during the Eastern crisis derives its strength especially from its disinterestedness, and that neither of those two powers can dream of employing this union in any man ner calculated to serve its own especial int 'rests. The high position to which the Emperor has raised France the councils of Europe gives to us the right, and im poses on us the duty, of elevating our voice in all foreign courts, of maintaining on all points of tlie globe our in terests and the security of our countrymen, and finall .) , of preventing the occurrence of anything likely to trouble the general peace. Bat France knows how to exercise her right and to fulfil her duties with so much wisdom and moderation that not an act nor a word calculated to compromise the security of the West is to be feared on litr part." often in advance. " Money flows into the public Treasury. The payment of the last six monthly payments of th• rents has left us a reserve of 1 10,000,000. "It must be evident to every sensible man that these facts are the indices of a situation of things which is fundamentally good." The Gange arrived at Marseilles yesterday, with accounts from Constantinople to the 29th ultimo. An order, received by telegraph from London, directs that three steamers and six gunboats shall re-enter the Black Sea. A French squadron is ordered hitherto to co opexate with the British fleet, as the Isle of Serpents question is not satisfactorily settles;. An Austrian squadron is also ordered here. Admiral Lord Lyons remains here. Resch.id Paella has given a fete to his lordship. Servia has applied to the great powers for the increase of her army. Austria supports the application of Montenegro for an extension of frontier, but all negotiations had been again put an end to by a renewal of hostilities between the Turks and Montenegrins. The Euphrates Railway has been definitively conceded to an English company. The French steamer th 3 Lyonnais, under the command of Captain Magnan, has returned to Belgrade ; she is to go up the river as far as Pesth, and then proceed to Vienna. A joint-stock ship-building company has just been formed at St. Petersburg, under something more than Government patronage, I)r the greater part of the shares have been already taken by va ' rious members of the Imperial family, and by some of the more ancient and powerful Rus iian nobility. Twenty commercial screw steamers of the very largest class are to be built iu the first instance. Some of them will be constructed in America, some in England, and a few in the Gulf of Finland. They are to trade to the Black Sea, the Danube, and the Levant. If it be found that more are de sirable, more will progressively be added. A letter just received from Vienna, dated Oct. 3, says :—" Baron Hubner arrived hen) on the 2d. He was instructed by the Cabinet to represent to the King of Naples the serious consequences of re sisting the demand of the Western Powers. It is generally believed in Vienna that his Neapolitan Majesty did not give him an opportunity of com municating either his own opinions or those of his Government." The Paris correspondent of the Times (second edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says : " According to the latest accounts from Naples the King is less than ever disposed to make con cessions, while the fermentation in the public mind is at tho highest pitch. The remon strances of the Powers are throughout treated with indifference or arrogam; and there is every prospect that the Ring, whose strength is in his weakness, will adopt a system of passive resistance, and thus defy France and England to do their worst. He feels himself strong in the sympathy of Russia ; and I regret to say that Austria, notwithstanding appearances, is suspected, at Naples at least, of playing, as usual, a double part, At all (wents, since the visit of M. Hubner, the Kin g has manifested even less disposition towards a o miciliatory policy. The anxiety is intense ; and, with the financial crisis i n F rance, and the discontent it natu rally produc es , hi s Neapolitan Prlajesty probably anticipates no demonstration on the part of this country. I have reason to believe th at no resolu tion has as yet been come t, with reference to that question ; and it is certain tha .t the Em peror Napoleon is not disposed to make any demonstration which would have the effect of encouraging the Italian malcontents to rise against their Government. At the councils, which are held since the Emperor's retu xn, it is intimat e d th at no st e p w ill b e tak( m which would provok e a catastrophe, ar ends auger the dynasty of N a pl es ; and the id ea of a hostile act in order to extort concessi ons which the King refuses to grant, is, I am a ssu red, out of the question. Under such circum stances, I can not oven now affirm whether the n aval .squadron lying in the waters of Toulon will be sent to the BAy of Naples, as its presence woul d d. bt, he NAPLES. RUSSIA. The Moniteur de l'Armie gives the following as the results of the census of the Russian empire taken by order of the Emperor at the time of his accession to the throne : " The total number of the population amounts to 63 millions, the principle elements of which give results unknown to the rest of Europe, The clergy of the Russian Church stand for the enormous nunibar of 510,000 ; that of the tolerated creeds, 35,000 the . d here ditary nobility, 155,000 ; ing, discharged soldiers, 425,000 foreigners , , r ding the petty bouTeoiste,:n i cl . u. temporarily 0 40 u , r 0 a 0 4 0 J he dige o r n e , n t t h b e o w die o s ig o a f , C th o e ss ß ac la , c s ksea colo nised on the the Baikal, the Baschkirs, and the irregular Kalmuck; 2,000,000 ; the population of the towns, the middle and lower classes, 5,000,000.; the population of the county, parts, 45,000,000 ; the wandering tribes, 5 00,000 ; the inhabitantsof the trans-Caucasian possessions, 1,400,000; the kingdom of Poland, 4 ,200,000; the Grand Duchy of Finland, 1,400,000; and the Russian colonies in America, 71,000. At the accession of the Emperor Nicholas, the census then taken only gave a population of 51,000,000. This large increase in the spice of 30 years may, how. ever, be readily understood, when it is considered that the Russian territory has now an extent of 22 millions of square kilometres (a kilometre is s.Bths of a mile), and a length of coast of 27,600 kilometres. If the popu lation continues to increase in the same proportion, it will by 1900 amount to 100 millions. The Russian Empiie, according to the same document, contains 112 different peoples, divided into 12 principal races, the most numerous of which is the Sclavonian, including the Ru ss i ans properly so called, the Poles, the Cossacks, and the Servian colonies of the Dnieper. These popu. lotions inhabit the finest and the most important pro. viuces of the empire." ICABYLIA. --- The Moniteur Algerien gives the following par ticulars of the attack on the Kabyles by Generals Renault and Yusuf, already briefly mentioned by telegraph :—On the 24th the Beni Koufi, a frac tion of the Guechtoulas, wore attacked at the same time by the divisions of Generals Renault and Yusuf. The former set out at three o'clock in the morning, and arrived at the deep ravine which separates the Oulad Ali from the other fractions of the Koufi, having only had to drive before it some hundreds of the enemy's riflemen. The se cond, whose camp was established near the zavuia of Sidi Abd-er-Rhaman, and who had a less dis tance to pass over to reach the enemy, only set out at half-past six, and after following the i crests of the Beni Ismail for two hours, found itself before one of the branches of the ra7ine, in view of Renault's division. It w as on the other side of this ravine that the Kabyles had established their, vil lages and organised resistance. In spite of the diffi culties of the ground an attack was immediately commenced ; the ravine was crossed, the villages carried, and the attacking columns of the two divi sions met, after which the Oulad Ali and all the defenders were obliged to fall back amongst the rocks and in the forest which is between the bare crests of the Dj troops had t a k en f rom them. After an engage urdjura and the positions which our ment of two hours, and after all the villages, particularly those of the ()Iliad Ali, had been set on fire, the two divisions recommenced their retreat. General Yusuf was not pursued beyond the ravine, b u t t h e Ka b y l es f o ll owe d en masse Ge neral Renault' s column, which, having to d escend steep de c li v i t i es and to go a considerable distance, was more exposed to their attacks. In spite, how ever, of the vigour of the pursuit, the retreat, owing to the arrangements made, was effected in good order, and the two columns re-entered the camp at 5 o'clock, with a loss of 12 men killed and 49 wounded, 4of the Rata- officers. The loss of the enemy is not known, but everything. leads to the belief that it is considerable. Marshal Daudet', the Governor-General, arrived on the 26th at the camp of General Renault, situated at the foot of the mountains of the Beni Konfi. The day after, he visited General Yusuf's division, whi c h h o f oun d in an excellent position. SPAIN.

Extenydve measures have j ust been adopted for the A Vienna lett e r o f th e I s t, in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" At the same time that the Austrian cabi net gave instructions to Gen. do Martini on his departure for Naples, it sent a circular note to its ambassadors at Paris and London, in which it is asked to have the intended demonstration at Naples delayed, and that the question should be brought before the congress of Paris, which was soon to open. No answer has yet been received to this note." Another letter from Vienna of the same date, in the Bcsrsenhalle of Hamburg, says Baron Mohrenheim, Russian Councillor of State, arrived here to, day from St. Petersburg with very important. despatches for Baron de Budberg, relating to the .fairs of Naples and Montenegro. With respect to the former it is certain that the passive policy announced by the circular of Prince Gortschakoff must not receive too much credit. Russia win. not renounce so easily the principle of the Holy Alliance, and will employ all her efforts to obtain the co-operation of Austria in her Neapolitan policy. With respect to Montenegro every effort will be made to maintain Russian influence iu that state; and Prince Danilo's pretensions to independence and to an increase of territory will be supported by Russian diploma tist s."

A letter in the Allgenzeinc Zcitung tells a most roman ' tic story of a girl who was found in November, 1853, wandering about near the village of Weiskirchen, in the Banat, almost in a savage state, unable to speak intel ligibly, though she was full grown. The girl has been carefully educated since that time, by Friedrich Eck, the teacher to whom she was confided by the municipal authorities of Offenbach. She is now able to give some account of herself, and the result has been published by Herr Eck in a pamphlet just printed at Frankfort. What can be collected from her is that before she was & years old she was seized and carried away from her 'ether, who lived, according to her description, in a Hungary. For some 15 large house, like a castle, with three towers, and pro ewheresihee lived in a place under o i m dst of a forest, where she was tended . ground, o h t i ll y n6d s yt in naa cars s e h de afterwards midst by an old woman called Bertha, and a man named Eleazar used to bring food and clothes for both of them. About seven years after her arrival there, a little baby, two or three months old, named Adolf, was brought to the subterranean dwelling, and remained there from that time. No instruction was given to either of the children, but they were kindly treated. In October, 1853, their foster-mother Eertha took the girl out of the cavern, put ether into a carriage drawn by two horses, and conveyed o the pl ace where she was abandoned, near Aschaf nburg, whence she wandered about until she was found. by the country people. The little boy was left behind in the underground abode. Such is the story which Herr Eck has been able to gather from the girl's broken recollections. The Austrian Government has directed all possible researches to be made by the local authori ties to clear up this mysterious affair.
