Under the prevailing influence we must be quite contented to see Germans preferred to Eng lishmen. Indeed foreigners of any creed or country are favoured beyond the native popula tion. It has consequently been a frequent prac tice for many of those who would be neglected as Englishmen to Germanise their names, or adopt other foreign-sounding titles, to obtain attention and patronage. It is not always, however, that "The rose by any other name will smell as sweet." There will be a rigid investigation of claims, when backstairs influences are brought into operation. Strong proofs must be given of Teutonic origin to satiafy the fastidious taste of the distributors of Government patronage. It will not suffice that the parties have connected themselves with a Foreign Legion, and been ready and willing to discharge any duties that might have been re quested at their hands. Oh no ; that falls far short of the indispensable requisites. The Eng lish taint must be avoided. That is the plague spot which consigns the sufferers to neglect and oblivion. The Germans may boast of their " fatherland ;' our countrymen have but a care less stepmother in place of a natural relative. In another part will be found a letter signed E/ Moro," which strongly directs attention to this untoward state of affairs. The comparison between the treatment of the Turkish Contingent, w hich was chiefly, if not alt oge th er, officered by Englishmen, and the other foreign legions, affords a powerful illustration of the existing practice. The officers of the German, Italian, and Swiss regiments all receive at least a me!) pay as gra, THE SUN, LONDON, MONDA EVE NN S'EPTEMITER -t5..N tuities, besides important collateral advantages. The English officers of the Turkish battalion, who were at least on Turkish soil, eager for active employment, and burning to show what they had accomplished in training and disciplining the rude levies, have been summarily discharged with less than a quarter of the amount, two and a half months' pay, being all that they re spectively obtained as tokens of British gratitude. It is, indeed, the proportion usually adopted be tween Germans and Englishmen. Witness the amount of bounties paid on enlistment, and the still greater disparity exhibited at the time of discharge. The German or Italian Legionary was handed a full year's pay. The Tipperary Militia. man a few shillings out of the bounty promised, but never paid. The German obtained a free. grant of land, a free passage for himself an d family, however numerous, ample rations, supplies and stock, wherewith to found a flourishing colony, clothing, arms (including a valuable Millie rifle), and ammunition. The Tipperary boy was turned out half naked, the wretched, worn-out uniform being stripped from his back, and the few shillings that stood between him and. starvation, until he could . obtain other employ ment, being required to procure the miserable slops which considerations of common decency rendered indispensable. Something should be done to check this in,- tolerable system. If Englishmen would only be true to themselves it would speedily be arrested. We have grumbled long enough, but fruitlessly. A time-honoured fable, however, indicates the correct course. As we find no efficacy in fair words or tufts of grass, may it not be time to try " what virtue there is in stones." England must ere long be for the English, and not for the Ger mans ! Let us obtain that desideratum by fair means if we can ; but let us obtain it. Whether " born to good luck," in the unr e -1 stricted meaning of the phrase, or not, ALF.x.i DEa 11. has so far reason to account himself luck y. A year ago how gloomy, to all appearance, wore his prospects. What a weight of care and anxiety rested on his shoulders. What danger of financial collapse and disintegration impended over his empire. Vainly had he drained the interior of his choicest troops, and poured them with lavish hand into the Crimea. The allied forces--rein forced and plentifully supplied at last with the muniments of war—proved themselves irresistible. The Malakhoff was taken by storm—the Russirm forces were in full march to the north side of Sebastopol—the Allies had but to push forward and the remainder of the devoted stronghold, the Crimea itself, possibly the Russian forces also, would have fallen into their hands. Fear and trembling were to be found on every hand be hind the boasted Russian bulwarks on the shores of the Baltic and the Neva. The crackling of tie setting ice suggested thoughts of the crumbling up of the power of Holy Russia in the coming spring. The hopes of the most sanguine began to fail them, and in all his vast dominions there was probably no man more oppressed with care and despondency, and less to be envied than the EMPEROR. The dream of his ancestors, which had been sa far wonderfully realised seemed about to be divested of its materiality, and the labours of between one and two cent - tries to be cast utterly away and remembered as of no account. The mighty combination of England, France, Sardinia, and Turkey was rapidly developing the strength of its vast proportions—and Austria, with the whole horde of time-servers, and all who hated Russian sway, waited but a favourable moment to contribute their quota to Russian humiliation ! Now how different is his position. Well as his troops and diplomatists fought for him, his would have been a poor case if none had fought better, While the strength of Russia seemed to verge on exhaustion in her own territory, a power greater than the armies and T eets of the Allies took com passion on her, and arrayed itself on her side. Believe us it was not the DIVINE. The unex pected succour came from a far different quarter. The power that bade a victorious army advance no further, and put a veto one the emprise of expectant fleets, was the directing power of France and England. NAPOLEON and Lord PAL MERSTON ('s master) were the deliverers of Russia from her imminent peril. The task was theirs to nullify the toils and privations of brave armies, render innocuous the thunderbolts of mighty arsenals, and stultify France, and still more Eng land, before the world. In an hour of peril such as Russia had not passed through even in the times of PETER the Great, the Emperor ALEXAN DER was rescued from danger, and plaeed en a pinnacle, from which he may hereafter overawe the world, by his enemies themselves. If this is not luck, where shall we find it ? And now fresh from the mast imposing cere monial probably ever witnessed is modern times (for the excelling splendour of which, by the way, our neighbours the French, and the subjects of FRANCIS JOSEPH have no reason to be grateful as they will find when their sovereigns choose to be crowned), what a position is that of the Emperor ALEXANDER ! The jubilant peals which hailed his coronation, innumerable and lorg sustained a s they were, would not have been thrown away to celebrate the madness of the Allies and the services they have rendered Russia. The newly anointed Emperor stands half a century in advance of the point from which, but for the war, he had set out on his father's decease. The Allies have dowered him in his youth with the wisdom lie probably would not have attained before old age, or, if sooner, only at the heaviest cost. Seated en the throne of his ancestors, and treasuring at his heart the ambitious longings and the traditionary policy of his house, his eyes are opened to the defects of his military and financial system, and he is enabled, like the knight whose skill and armour have been tested in the tournament, to prepare abundantly for every exigency of the fight. The waste of human materiel on the steppes of Russia, and of treasure in useless equipment, and th• speedy exhaustion of his fine aces, are lessons which a Russian Emperor could not be expected to over look. These drawbacks will not have to be allowed for in a future war. Alrcaiy the EM PEROR plans out the intersection of the Russias with railways, and recognises in commerce a mine of wealth which it were folly to overlook. "Peace for War," and not " War for Peace," will henceforth be his motto, and the barbaric hordes in his dominions will be content to bide his time. With no opro• sitiou or concealed animosity to dread from the great majority of his subjects, with uninterrupted space to complete whatever may be necessary for the achievement of his aims, and with the car- taißty that his behests will be duly carried out, what has he to do but wait for an opportunity at once of conquest and re- wnge ! Not the least noticeable portion of the coronation ceremony was the homage paid to the tombs of his ancestors, and he would be unworthy of them, and a hypocrite to boot, if he failed to carry out, to the best of his ability, their schemes of aggrandisement, suppo s i ng he entertained none himself, of revenge.

TURIN, Sept. 1.-- - 47hd Prance of Prince iqura , et Aix-les - .Bains has caused considerable uneasi ness to Neapolitan diplomatists in this part of the world, though no one but then of exceedingly nor roes temperaments, or those troubled with very Timid consciences, were likely to be affected by such a very simple and natural proceeding. How ver, the great cause of alarm for these gentlemen ias been removed, as the Prince has rewrued to Paris, and his relations, who went to see him, to heir respective homes, so that it may be hoped King Ferdinand's representatives will soon be re stored to tranquillity of mind on that score. It is true that the Prince was accompanied from Paris by Sig. Salicetti, who has long been tutor to his sons, and he might have met at Aix one or two 9ther persons to whom rumour has ascribed the ' place of Ministers in petto, to be confirmed when he shall be King of Naples. And it is a fact also that this combination gave rise to much excitement among the Neapolitan refugees here, which is nor very astonishing, seeing how apt all men in exile tre to catch at straws, and how habitually excit able Neapolitans are at all times. As was natural, therefore, reports of various kinds obtained circula ion as to the intentions of the future King, and pis probable policy was discussed in cafes and beer shops in Turin with as much earnestness as if lie bad been already seated on the throne of his fa rher. But the fermentation went no further, and, hough it was said th a t many o f hi s future subjects' !lad gone from here to do him homage, I have not been able to discover a single well-authenticated ease of any having done so except the members of the Murat family, and therefore I much doubt the on dit that "great numbers of Neapolitans have gone to Aix to meet Murat." As to the proclamations attributed to Prince Murat, it is evident that a very different language has been held by himself and by his principal ad visers, though whether this difference was the effect of a secret understanding or of real dissent it is im possible to say ; but it is a fact that, while his High ness has denied ever having issued any proclama tion to the Neapolitans, and has authorised his re 'ations in Italy to contradict the reports of his having done so, some of his friends have been promising uivat, liuerallyJß nis name, and have shown..frntoi. of a constitution which, they say, their chief would establish in the Neapolitan kingdom. These flat tering promises, however, which go so far as to hold out an expectation of institutions similar to those existing in Piedmont, so far outstrip pro bability, that rersonable men of the Neapolitan emigration whom I have heard speak of them doubt ether their authenticityor their sincerity, for, they say, either Murat would be restrained by his cousin, the Emperor of the French. from declaring such complete liberty, or he would only accord it with the intention of destroying it by a coup d'etat on the first opportunity offered by the impulsiveness of the people. Great hopes have been raised lately in the Mura tists by the disaffection that Labs shown itself and is said to be on the increase in the Neapolitan army, but Signor La Farina, in a pamphlet published to day, called Murat and the Unity of Italy, very well remarka, " Where are the Muratist generals who could promote and direct such an insurrection?" If, he says, the Neapolitan army, weary of the in sults and injuries heaped upon it, should some day rise with one mind and cry "enough" to a Govern ment which has so abused its power, it will not be for the object of substitutingone master for another, of taking a Murat instead of a Bourbon, but for the sacred cause of the country, and under the national flag of Italy, not the equivocal standard of a pre tender. It is a curious fact, that the only contradiction brought forward by the Austrian Government against General Garibaldi's statement respecting the deaths of Ciceruacchio and his sons, &c., should be founded on the assertion of a London correspon dent who said he heard so and so from somebody else. The Austrian Government may be assured that if it cares for its reputation for honour and uprightness with any portion of the Italian people, from the highest to the lowest, it must adopt very different means from these to clear its character of the imputation cast upon it by so credible a wit ness as General Garibaldi. A letter from Naples, of the 28th ult., in the Correspondance Italienne, says :-- "A liberal proclamatian has been lately distributed among the troops, by whom it appears to have been well received. Another proclamation has reached from Sicily, recommending union between the two countries. It is certain that the Neapolitan troops would not fight to•d&y with the same ardour as in 1848 and 1849 against the Sicilians. The officers publicly declare that they are disgusted to serve a Government which repays them with ingratitude. General Filangeri seldom appears at Court, where he is regarded as an enemy, because he is known to be amicably disposed towards the French.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY This morning the screw steam-ship Etna, Capt. Miller, arrived in the Mersey. She sailed from New York on the same day (viz., the 27th nit.) that the Canada left Boston, bringing one day's later TIOWQ from the former pore. She has brought one passenger, but no specie. The Etna passed the Asia, from hence on the 6th, on the morning of the 7tll, off Ballycotton. At the steamer's departure, money was plentiful at New York on call at 7 per cent., more confi dence having been inspired by news from Nica ragua. Stocks steady. Exchange on London and Paris dull at previous rates. Small sales in the cotton market ; prices una tered. Wheat easier ; flour not in demand. Common grades dull and lower.

To arms, loyal mon ! I declare the territory of this principality to be in a state of siege.

"Our line of conduct under the circumstance-1 is so clearly traced by the 16th article of the Fede ral Constitution that we need not hesitate for one moment bow to act. We have therefore commis sioned our colleagues the Federal Councillors For nerod and Frei-Herosee to restore constitutional order in the canton of Neufchatel, using force, if necessary, and to see the constitutional functionaries reinstated. 1 " We have placed Colonel Bourgeois Doxat a Yverdun at the disposal of the Federal Commis sioners as military chief.

Walewski, but he not being in Paris, his Spanish Excellency returned to Biarritz again. M. Pacheco left Boulogne last night for London. The merchants of Marseilles having ascertained that the wheat harv es t w ill no t be sufficient for the home consumption of all France, are begin ning to suggest to the Government, through their local papers, that a repeal of the corn laws is indis pensable, or at least an extension of the Imperial decree which permits the free importation of corn, and which will expire on the Ist of January next. They observe that, although 2,000,000 hectolitres of wheat have been imported within the last two months, through the port of Marseilles, it will be impossible, by the end of the year, to supply the deficiency which exists, and to execute the orders for exportation already received. The Spanish Government has prolonged the period for the free importation of corn until the 30th of June next, and the Marseilles Merchants ask why should France be less liberal than Spain. Another bad consequence apprehended from the delay of the Government in issqing a decree to prolong the period for the free importation of corn, is that the holders of wheat will not bring their stocks to mar ket, and the present high prices will be maintained. The Swiss and French newspapers give various details of the little fight at Neuchatel, and some of them state the killed and wounded on the side of the Royalists as high as 60 or 70 persons, which is probably an exaggeration. One of the Pourtales is said to be badly wounded. Colonel de Meuron is reported to have escaped, and Count de Wes dehlen to be a prisoner. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Sept: 4.—The Preussische Correspon, Benz informs its readers that, in conformity with a regulation made by the King in 1841 for the bien nial convocation of the provincial estates of this country, the Provincial Diets of Preussen, Posen, Silesia, Saxony, Westphalia, and Rht inland will be convoked on Oct. 5 for the despatch of business. For the provinces of Brandenburg and Pomerania the day of covocation remains to be fixed subse quently, with a view to meeting the conveni ence of the parties interested in the matters to be deliberated on. These provincial institutions for local legislation fell into desuetude at the time of the revolution of 1848, and it was the hope of the Liberal party that they had been definitively superseded by the parliamentary institution of the Legislative Chambers for the whole kingdom, seeing that they were the stronghold of a narrow, local spirit of provincial particularism, opposed to the progress of wider views of improvement and deve lopment, but in 1854 they were revived, mainly by the agency of the present Minister of the In terior, and seem now to have resumed their former I place among the institutions of the country. The simultaneous existence, however, of the Diet of the whole kingdom, the two Chambers, prevents the local spirit of the provincial estates influencing any other than mere local legislation, and they seem to occupy now about the same place in the Prussian polity that the grand juries of the counties do in ours. Baron von Budberg, having delivered his letters of recall at this Court, has now repaired to New Strelitz to present his letters of recall from that Court also, he having been accredited simultane ously to Prussia and Mecklenburg. General von Adlerberg, Governor of Simpheropol during the war, and a son of the Adjutant-General of that name, is expected here as successor to General von Belackendorff, the late suihiary repreoeutative of DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The quesi cion relative to the plan of govern ment to be adopted in the Danubian Principali ties will very speedily be discussed by the Com missioners appointed by Europe for that purpose; and this question of our foreign policy is one which mat only is of universal importance to us, but upon it will depend the free existence of Wallachia and Moldavia under the SULTAN'S sway, and also the tranquillity of the whole of Western Europe—its civilisation and prosperity. There are three points which will occupy diplo macy in the settlement of this serious and most important subject. They are, first, shall these provinces remain, as at present, separate and in dependent of each other, but suzeraine to the SULTAN, ruled by Hospodars elected by them selves, under the confirmation of the Porte ? secondly, shall these provinces be consolidated into one, ruled over by one Hospodar, chosen among themselves as before? and, thirdly, shall they be consolidated, but be ruled over by a Foreign Prince, suzerains to the SULTAN I These are the simple points upon whieh Europe is called upon to discuss and decide. An error, however, com mitted in this affair may lead to most disastrous consequences. The topographical position of the provinces will at once convey to every reasoning mind the con sequences we allude to. They are the highroad to an invasion of Constantinople. Walla chia, Moldavia, Servia, Bulgaria, lead to the same prize, and they all profess what our Northern rivals call the orthodox religion. One false step in deciding upon the government of the provinces will lead to treachery, bloodshed, and barbarity. The Danubian Provinces have been for time immemorial, and long before— consequently they formed a portion of the Turkish empire--in a separate form ; that is, they formed two distinct governments, ruled by two distinct Hospodars. The Ottoman Power kept to the same mode of government, because it was pro per to the Provinces and a safeguard to their privileges and prosperity ; otherwise, when the Crescent was at the gates of Vienna, the con queror could have imposed upon the Provinces whatever form of government he thought proper. He saw, however, in this instance, that union was not force, and, like a wise legislator, con firmed what he saw would be for the well-being and prosperity of those populations, and they have existed to the present day under two rulers suzeraine to the SULTAN. Look at the fate of Poland—Poland united—Poland a kingdom— where is she, and what has been her fate ? Yet Moldavia and Wallachia still exist, in spite of every species of intrigue and attempt at revolu tion, and exist because, and only because, they are not consolidated ; join them as one weak power, and they are swallowed up by an avaricious and barbarian nation. We have not been happy in our deliberation in Congress. Let us, however, if we have any weight as a nation, be serious for once, for the sake of variety, and not submit to be again the laughing-stock of Europe. The folly, indeed the crime, of consenting to the consolidation of Wallachia and Moldavia into one Province can be proved in a few words. If under one Hospodar chosen from the united population, in the first place, there is no family of sufficient consideration or standing to be hereditary ruler ; and, in the second place, no Moldavian would consent to b e under the dominion of a Wallachian or a Walla chian under a Moldavian ; jealousies, feuds, revolution, and bloodshed would follow such a delusive attempt, and, in the midst of dissension, a power is ready to take advantage of domestic broils, having already fomented them, and under the pretence of calming their passions, would quietly take possession of their territory; and, need we say, that all attempts to ascend in the scale of civilisation would be blocked out for ever ; liberty, freedom, happiness, and prosperity would be banished as prohibited merchandise. The idea of naming a Foreign Prince as Viceroy under the SULTAN has been thought the ne plus ultra of diplomacy, and indeed taking the word diplomacy in its literal sense, it is so, for it is evidently intended by such a proposition to de prive the SULTAN of his rights, though put for ward as a means of safeguarding his dependencies —.•we say evidently intended, because the think ing portion of mankind can perceive the cunning and delusion of such a scheme. We need only mention Greece. Let us take history for our guide, and as Governments depend more upon prece dents than plain good sense, let them look to Greece and Egypt. The Foreigi Prince named as ruler over the million of population of Greece was suzerain() to the SULTAN, yet he declared him self independent of that Sovereign. How much more easy then would another Foreign Prince with four millions of people, and the geographical posi tion of his territory so much in his favour, throw eff his allegiance and declare himself independent ? But mark the difference between the relative positions of Greece and the Danubian Pro vinces ; the vicinity of Wallachia and Moldavia, to Russia on one band and Austria on the other ; and the immense difficulty England would have to encounter in an attempt to protect the Provinces from an invasion, clearly shows that the self-con stituted new kingdom would soon share the fate of the kingdom of Poland, and, instead of these prolific countries becoming rich, and prosperous, and happy under the paternal Government of the SULTAN, they would be crushed to slavery, and re monstrance would only be the means of a voyage to Siberia. This is what the union of the Provinces would effect ere we got in time to arrest the blow ; and if we do not boldly record ourselves against the consummation of such an outrageous and de lusive act, we ought to hide our heads in seclu sion, and leave the destiny of nations to those who have more foresight than ourselves. The only means for the Principalities to be happy and free, looking to their exceptional topographi cal position, is to leave them in their present separate state as suzeraine to the SULTAN, with liberal institutions and the exercise of their agri cultural pursuits ; and we ought, as a free people, to rouse our energies, aid assist with all our moral strength, and not allow four millions of people to become oppressed, as they assuredly will b; if the infamous attempt at consolidation become a fait accompli. 11 The annual gathering and games at Braemar are fixed to take place on Thursday.

Ze Ford publishes with the aid of its Berlin, correspondent, the following account of a diplo matic note which the Russian government has caused to be addressed to the English Government, and which, it says, must have come into the hands of the latter several days ago : This note is an answer to another note which had been addressed by the British Government to that of St. Petersburg, complaining of the delay which Russia, in its opinion, apparently wished to cause in carrying out the engagements it had con tracted by the treaty of Paris. Recapitulating all the griefs of the Foreign•office, Prince Gortschaloff analyses them in succession, and refutes them with such lucidity, precision, and firmness of language as must have proved to the cabinet of London that, although Russia wishes to keep up friendly rela tions with England, she has no intention, for all that, to use a colloquial expression, of letting her toes be trodden on. Prince Gortschakoff proves irrefutably that Rus sia, far from carrying out with a bad grace the stipu lations of the treaty of peace, is, on the contrary, ready in every place to fulfil her engagements to the very letter ; proved, for the rest, by her evacua tion of Kars, performed with an obliging promp titude and a good grace that even the journals of Constantinople have been compelled to acknow ledge. As for the Isle of Serpents, Prince Gorts chakoff declares that Russia cannot concede to one of the powers that signed the treaty of Paris the right of raising by herself alone and of her own mere motion a question that cannot be solved unless by all these powers at one and the same time, as the congress of Paris has clearly specified. Besides, the demarcation of the new frontiers of Bessarabia has to be performed and is being per formed by the commission appointed for that pur pose by the congress of Paris, and as for what concerns the regulating the navigation of the Danube and the Russian frontier in Asia, the Russian commissioners have been long at their post, where they merely wait for the other dele gates to arrive in order to commence their task.
