The blockade of the Russian ports, in the Black Sea and in the B title, is bat an i:iaclerinate achievement on the p trt of the vast maritime ar maments sent forth against the enemy by France and England. Yet the Secretary-at- War appear: to be suprised, not so much that we are unsati,fied with this result, but that we are not in ecstacies at it ! The Right Hon. Gentleman seems actually to have forgotten, when reminding the House of Commons on Tuesday evening that the chief part of NELSON'S public life was occupied in blockading the ports of the enemy, three rather important particulars, indicating a marvellous difference, when he appeared to intimate that na differenct at all really. existed. Firstly, that so long as the then foe of England possessed a fleet, NELSON was never satisfied with merely securing the brilliant advantage of a blockade, but was de voured with rage and vexation until he had ferreted out the war-vessels of the foe, wherever they might be, and 'destroyed them—to this end disobeying the orders of his superiors, breaking through all the petty little p tekthread entangle ments of etiquette, chasing the Inert. ghost of a reported fleet or squadron to and fro across the wide ocean, scouring the Mediterranean, peeping into every nook and corner along its coasts as he went, and at last, when ono day, towards evening, he came within sight of the enemies' ships riding snugly at anchor, steering his own vessels in between them and the shore, and there (a thing naparalleled in naval warfare), at midni.;!it, and at anchor, gaining a wonderful and overwhelming victory over his antagonists. Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT appears to have forgotten all this when lie talked on the 24th instant about the chief part of Nzteort's public life having, been dedicated to the irksome duties of a mere blockade. Second:y, he seems to have forgotten, moreover, that NELsoN wag de pendent, more than we are nowadays, upon the accidents of wind and tide---the steam-engine having then yet to be completed, and long after wards applied to .the purpOses of navigation. Thirdly, the Ri4ht U moora ebl gentleman wou ld appear to have overlooked the rather irnportai,t circumstance, that dive to the pere ct d• dr Nzuov. baclY e t f a i led to secure death in 1805, his -country to her troops the advantage 0f,;." solid footing b y land along the borders QTthe European continent, the political iron arca having yet to be gradually obtained through several successive and arduous campa i gns by the forces, years afterwards led to v ictory, first in Spain, and finally in Belgium, by WELLINGTON. It is surely wonderfully different now, when the navies of France and England are united cor dially in the same cause ; when those two navies are, in a manner, endowed with vitality by the application of the paddle-wheel and the screw propeller; and when the Allies have it entirely in their power to transport whenever they please, and almost wherever they p'ease, along the coast of the enemy's do.ninion, whatever numbers of troops may be deemed requisite for cu-operati , n with their vast maritime armaments. Remem bering these circumstances, ald drawing from this remembrance the above inevitable comparisons, it becomes simply absurd to argue that because =SON was compelled to occupy so many years in blockading the Ports of the enemy, because be had left himself no h es • because h e was without the enormous fleet to destroy, or secured by steam, or, b advantages ob tain nowhere the a ss i stance ' uf ee duse he could 0b c..0-oparation--that therefore we ought military fis -, :a with the simple biee6d, ought to be sa.tis by tire, combined fleets in- the la 4 of B the e r u7de;-- AZlraisDritfim llimuct An d . . - . -- •• -.- e THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 28, 1854. bir Jed fleets in the Baltic under Admirals NAPIER thought to be a matter of right and justice to con and.

We say "confiscation," because the enemy are, even with the enormous maritime withholding a right to which any person may be power capable of being brought against them ! entitled as fully deserves that title as stripping by France and England, to be more than block- i him of that of which he had been in previous vied? Why, in regard to C•onstadt, Admiral ' enjoyment. CiLADS..." than whom," said the First Naval Lerd It was stated in the course of the debate that of the Admiralty', the gallant Member for Gleu- there was no present intention on the part o f Sir , tester (when menti o ni ng th e f ac t un Tuesday !T. M. WILSON to enclose Hampstead-heath, and a evening in the House of Commons), ." no man letter from the Hen. Baronet to that effect was possesses a greater amount of scienlific knowledge" referred to by one of his friends. Bet the Hon. —Admiral CHADS has declared in regard to Cron- Gentlemen at the same time distinctly admitted stadt, "after two days' inspection from the light- j that Sir TIIO.IIAS had " refused to asree to a souse, and full views of the forts and ships, the stipulation that it sheu!d a ways rein tin agricul f aner are too substantial for the fire of ships to tural Land, and that stipulation had been o hj.-e-ed make any imere-sion. They are large masses of to beta ise it would be making the public a pre ;ranite. With respect to an attack on the ships sent of 13,0001.!'' This outdid conf ssion was where they are, it is not to be entertained." Teat decisive oil the point. Hew could there be a is the d wlaration in reg a rd to Cronstittlt of Ad- present of 13,0001., or of any stun whatsoever, to eairal CHADS, "than whom no man possesses a the peblic, unless the tenant fer 1-fe valued the ;re ter amount of scientific iliforination !" And what, let us ask, is the decl tration in regard net merely to Cronstadt, but in regard to Cronstadt end Sweaborg, of Sir CHARLES NAPIER, iiiinself, the gallant Admiral of the great English fleet at the Gulf of Finland? Why, Admiral NAPIER has written home to the autho rities (we have this from Admiral BERKELEY'S statement on Tuesday evening is the House of , jorarnons), these remarkable and very positive in my power to do wards:—" It has wat been' anything with this powerful fleet ; for attacking either Cronstadt or :weaborg would have been -cer tain destruction." That is the declaration of the brave Sir CHARLES NAPIER, the British•maritime ' C o mmander-in-Chief. And as to Sebastopol, the Lord Pre-ident of the Council has distinctly re pudiated the notion of his having threatened, on the part of the Cabinet, an attack upon that stronghold by the combined fleets 1111deI DITSDAS and HAMELIN. Lord JoRN RUSSELL thus curiously explained - his misapprehended expres sions—" What I said was, that I thought Russia could not be allowed to maintain the menacing attitude which she his lately done, by keeping so large a fleet at Sebastopol." Not that the Crimea is to be taken and Sebastopol destroyed ; but that Russia is henceforth not to keep "so large a fleet" under the shadow of those !read fortific along. So that Sebastopol, accord ing to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, is not to be dismantled —or, at any rate, the Noble Lord protests that he never intimated that its seizure and destruction .vere contemplated by the Geverntnent. And as to Croristadt, we have already learnt front Admiral CHADS that the Russian forts there "are too sub stantial for the fire of ships to make any impres sion," those forts beinee in fact, " large masses of seetnite ;" while, as to the Russian fleet there, he adds,—" With respect to an attack on the ships where they are, it is not to be entertained." Admiral NAPIER. himself telling us distinctly that it has net been in his power to do any thing with. his immense fleet, because (ho explains the matter simply enough) "attack ing either °rousted-, or Sweaborg, would have been cert tin destruction." What, then, we re seat, are we to expect after all this beyond the intintred blockade by the Anelo-Fienee fleets of ewetborg, and Cr n-ladt, and Sebastopol ? N Ar, we world just ask the public at large to .observe quietly for a moment the terms in which I(bniral BERKELEY at the close of his speech, on •Ceesday evening in the House of Ceniraens, denied lie rumour what was abroad to the eff et that - 4ir CHARLES NAPIER hid been sent out with his lands tied I y the Government. Never was an assertion couclv.d in mere aliphatic terms of re indiation. Time Admiral said : "In the strongest lanoiage which man can use, I leelare—aod as it is pert of my fluty to draw up order.' for the almirale. I can speak with authority on tar. ).);nt—that there never was a British officer who had itore completely a carte btaitche to undertake whet he ..eased. So far from his bands being tied up by the G,vern , n.nt, they have afforded hint every encourage ',mit to proceed." (Cheer6.l the H -us : of C )11.1r11011S, the reader will observe, peered this declaration. Well. We have heard. Admiral BERKELEY his spoken. The , fact i f() longer to be gainsaid. Sir CHA HLE. VAPIER went out to ; lie B d •ic WI It hi 1 lands not previously tiel by the Gevere - ilellt. Ho had "a carte blanche to undertake what lie pleased." Vely well. Bat so might I my one be declared at lib er ty t o grasp t h e moon, o harness a comet, to drive a nail into the zenith (According to the Yankee conceit), or drop a (plummet to the nadir—if he could get at them ! iir CHARLES NAPIER was sent out with " a carte 'Manche to undertake what ha pleased." Bat Sir CHARLES NAPIER, taking his II , et into the Baltic, .foes up the Gulf of Finland until lie gets wit hill sight first of Sweaborg and then of Cronstadt, mud returns, after reConnoitring.those places, this solemn declaration that " attacking either Cron stadt or Sweaborg would have been certain destruc ' tion." But, says Admiral BERKELEY, speaking of the freedom of action granted to Sir CHartzEs NAPIER, " there never was a British Officer who had tLore :completely a carte blanche to unlertake what h • eleased." What was it the Irish Liberator used - o say, with that wick al twinkle in his eyes, and .hat delicious; brogue of his; add ng poignancy to the sting of. Kam sum ?—the words Zola now ;,a,t to the occasion—.," Think you for nothin ;-, nays the gailipot 1" Sir CHARLES NAPIER •vas sent out with a carte. b!anche—grantel but without troops and without gun-boats !!! Lime troops are at last being despatched after him, t is true, but the gun-boats have yet to follow. The Government can be dating enough where t taring goes for nothing, when vapouring need not toad to a victory, nor mere bouncing to a -boin istrdmelit. Tney don't like " - pottering over like looks," but they seen am •zine'y to relish potter ifig over a blockade. How much longer, we -wonder, is the coutitry (witim e ileubied ineonie tax :old 10,000,0007. sterling add d to the annual taxation) going to allow itself to be thus egregi ously bamboozled ? anticipated privilege of letting the lands on build- ing leases at that amount ? Wks not his ultimate obi v. thereby clearly and unequivocally revealed ? And if any doubt could have remained, was it not dispelled by .the peremptory refusal to insert a clause that would set the matter at rest, so far as the persevering Baronet was concerned ? The ' result was that the second reading was rejected by a majority of 54, there being 97 against, and only 43 in favour, of the measure. But " long life to Sir THOMAS WILSON," "May he live a thousand years," for it is only during his existence that this great blessing can be re tained. His successor may, it appears, "do as he likes with his own," and that which has so long been dedicated to the public will, it appears, be witidrawn, whenerer he shall b.: compelled to visit " the bourne from whence no traveller re turns." It is, indeed, but a precarious tenure on which the health and enjoyment of a numerous body of persons depends. If 13,0001. •be the sum for which the Hon. Baronet is so exceedingly anxious, would it not be worth while obtaining permanent security by its payment ? There can be no objection, if the remainder-men concur in the applicati 'n in obtaining a bill for the per petual enjoyment of pure air in that vicinity. Notwithstanding the many onerous demarris on the Exchequer we could still spare sufficient to purchase permanent peace. We have had ninny instances of estates being purchased for toe community. Only last night 140,0001. was voted for the acquisition of Burlington House and grounds, and surely Hampstead-heath word 1, in every respect, be a far more desirable investment. We concur in this proposition, put forth by a morning contemporary, not bee , use of any present right on - the part of the Hon. B tronet, inasmuch as the opinions of the Learned Judges, to whom the matter 11.!s been so frequently referred, must be considered decisive, even without the addi tional strength conferred by the opinions of Lords BaocolAn, CAMPBELL, alia DENMAN, but simply chat we may get rid of a, question that must become setiAns on the death if the present proprietor. Swoe arrangement must then be entered into, and we may as well at once grapp!e with the difficulty and anticipate the evil city. If the Gentlemen wh $ so efficiently guarded the pub:ic interests last night would endeavour tu effect an equitable ar rangement they would materially enlnince then el i,ns on the gratil udeof the community ; and sure we are that even the most close-fisted Chancellor of the Exchequer would not refuse his assent to a mat ter in which the interests of the metropolis are so materially concerned. The runiey would not he wanting for a permanent. settlement, , even if a national subscription were required for the purpose. COURT I ROULA R. OSBORNE, JULY 27.

It seems a matter for regret that now railways offer facilities for the conveyance of packages of a'inost any proportions, and that steamers crossing the Channel from Calais to awe'. can likewise readily convey as many tons as would be requisite, an arrangement. coal I not be male with the French Government to lower its charge, so as to allow of the entire correspondence being landed at Mrrseilles. A payment of 10d. additional upon a letter weighing a quarter of an ounce, compared with the charge via Southampton, is certainly ex cessive for the service performed, and hence thefew letters that collie through France. If or3d. were charged, the Post-office revenue of our neighbours must largely gain, as we presume that nine-tenths of the correspondence, inclu ling that from Aus trails, now comes • from Egypt direct to South ampton. A week is often of importance even to panics not largely engaged in coin mercial pursuits, nor can we better illustrate this tLan by the fact that before the Indian or Colonial letters reach England by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer on the sth proximo, the outward mail to Australia will have left, and- a • mouth's delay will occur ere another opportunity of steam conveyance for the mails to the colonic, presents itself. The acc!muts from Violin s, this morning notice the extraordinary alacrity with which the volun tary loan was being subscribed, and such patriotism and cheerful exertion evinced by the population generally should prove the strongest possible inducement to Austria to pursue a loyal course and to introduce a constitutional system. The subser,piionF. flow in thus freely, there cannot be the slightysk,doubt, because a feeling of greater contiderteetas arisen that Austria will go with the Western Powers. Let her manifest a contrary disposition, and how different would be the result. It is true that her hesitation subjects her to mistrust, and that even now, as som e may believe, the movement of tier armies,—certainly very active acetriling to thi, morning's advices,--7-is intended to favour the po, •t pular enthusiasm. Even the wait ers at t h e h ote's were subscribing, and at the Café Da ttm, more th n 6,000 guildera were written fur. The maximum sum of 5d0,000,000 guilders will no doubt be rea lised, and Austria has reason to be thankful that of late years she could no longer raise foreign loans, and that she has had the courage to evoke the sympathy of the public.

THE BRITISH EXPEOITION IN THE EAST. CAMP NEAR DEVNO, BULGARIA, July 13.—Lord Cardigan has returned to camp with the detach gloats of Light Cavalry, with which he effected a reconnaissance along the banks of the Danube, Towards Rust.huk and Silistria. It is reported that at one point of the river they saw the Rus.- sianm in force under General Linkrs, and that the General asked a Turkish °dicer who went over with a -Hag of truce, on some busine,s, the naturt. ot which has not trauspirtk,whether the cavalry at the other side were French or English. lit , -was informed they were English, and he then took t long look at them, ''.l;`Ut he did not make any ole 4 , _levation, nor did he direct any fire to be madt up in them. The nohle-.lord and his men- wets. without tents, and bivouacked for 17 nights. Oa the 11th, Tuesday, the distressing intelligence , f the of at Gturgevo on Friday last reached 'is, and caused the liveliest eensatiou. No par. • iculars are known here as yet, and the versions ,f the story differ very much, but all agree as to the names and nambei of the British off ert ki!le+l. Captain But and Mr. Burke, ot the I'uyal 4ineers, '&O., had gone up to Silistria ou particular svrviee connected with the defences of e place, 'tad with the oltject of surveying and reporti eg the forts along the D inube. It so happened thim while they were. ia Rustelnik the Torks resolved to force the river and attack the Russians, who were on - the other side of the river. Aining the British officers on the spot at the time were Mr. Burke, Royai Engineers, Mr. Meynell, 75th Regi ment, and Mr. Arnold, of the Indian army, and they all engaged in the expedition, which was not the first of the kind in which Mr. Burke had taken part within a short time previously. T.te result is melancholy. lii a tierce attack on the Russian intrenched camp on Friday last the Turks wei e received with such a heavy mitraille that they wavered and fell back.

The night before this there was a gener al belief tit at peace would soon be proclaimed, ina.su inch as an Austrian envoy w as reported to bedining with General Brown, and this Austrian envoy was ou his way from 3humla, where he had held lung interviews with Omer Pasha, to Varna, where he was to consult 1. 4 ..nt Raglan and M. St. Aruaud. Then there was a universal rumour that " the War had abdicated," anti, further, it was said that " the Duke of Cain bridge had said that the cavalry would be home by November, and the infantry by May." Later in the evening, however, this story received a severe check in the shape of an opposing current of gossip, to the effect that it was " certain we are going to Sebastopol, because A told B that C had said so ;" though some .stoutly held out that peace was actually proclaimed, and that they knew the conditions, but did not like telling them. Peace proclaimed I • Why, surely it'cannot be affirmed we are at war, or that the allied armies have t ken a belligerent part or exhibited warlike, action since they landed in Turkey. Our parades, reviews, drills, and inspections are as harmless and inhoceza as if they took place at Satori or Chobhani, and our whole operatious , Of offence by laud have been confined to, ; first, a reconnoitri ng excurs i on by Lord Cardigan ; secondly, the despatch of some engineer officers and S tpoers to Sdistria and Rustehuk ; thirdly, the march-of a few French Pontoniers iu the same direction (on Tuesday, the 11th) ; and fourthly,.the: further - despatch of a company of 140 sailors to Rustchuk, to construct a bridge across from the bank to the islands, and thence across to to the other side. To those who advocate the necessity of striking some powerful blow at the most vital point of our gigantic antagonist there is one reply,—" It would be madness to attempt Sebastopol." The Generals say our fleet is not prepared for it, an d it would take one or two years to. provide our army with the means of disembarking in the face of a' powerful enemy and - of prosecuting with success the siege of such a fortress. Surely all these difficul ties, if they exist, ought to have been foreseen. Several acts of violence have been committed by the natives on the road to Varna. A gentleman who is correspondent for ono of the London jour nals has been flied at, and the person who shot at him has been arrest:d and flogged. A canteen man has been murdered. Some of our mail-bags have gone astray. and letters for the 83th Regi ment have been found.. scattered by the hedges all along to Varna. Ott Suuday last Major-General Bentinck ad dressed his officers, after church parade, on the subject of shaving, and informed them that they must use their razors. The Duke of Cambridge referred the matter to L )rd Raglan, and it is un derstood that . his lordship has, decided that mum taches may be • worn, but not beards. It is said that upwar as cf 70- horses (,f Lord Cardigan's de tachment have been laid up in consequence of sore backs durino , 0 the recent 'recomibuiesance.

SILISTRIA, giant; Generalissiino, Oiner• Pacha, has just arrived in this city. The Governor of the place, Mahanoud Paella, went out to meet • him, and received from his hands the grand cross of the Metijid. Omer 1 3 ,&a -t, in presenting the cross, said that he had come for the purpose of congratulating the garrison on its excellent con duct, and ho charged the Governor to express to all the troops the satisfaction which he felt. On the very day of his arrival he paid a visit to the fort of Arabqa,bia, of which the heroic resistance was sufficient to cheek, during forty days, one of the most powerful armies of Europe. It is really impossible to understand how the Russians did not, on the very fist shock, carry this lit tle earthen fortress. It has only three demi- bastions, and is open at the gorge. Omer Paella has expressed his deep sorrow at the loss of Cap tain Butler, who died on the very day of the re treat of the Russians. He has decided that a py ramid shall ba erected in the middle of the fort in honour of the soldiers who have died in its defence, and that the mortal remains of Captain Butler shall be carried to the saute place. A special mo uttruent is to be erected to iihmortalise the devotion of that valiant' officer. On the following day the Generalissimo inspected the trenches constructed by the Russians on the right bank of the Danube. These trenches were constructed with great care and are of immense extent. It is evident that the Russians had been making preparations to offer battle at that place to the allied army if it had advanced for the purpose of relieving the town. The Russians did not carry away the remains of their bridges till the 26th. The Turks have advanced a battery which has forced the Rus sians to send down towards Rassova, the last of the --pontoons which remained in front of Silis tria. Their batteries have killed' two Turk ish soldiers and three horses. It is calculated that during the whole duration of the siege the Russians have lost, in kilted wounded, and sick, about 16,000 men. The Turks !lave had 650 killed, and about tire same number wounded ; but that calculati does not include ;,he irregular troops, which were more exposed ban the others. The Arnatics have done great mischief to the Russians ; they established them 4elVes in the ditches of Arab-Tabia an•l kept firing, ipon the Russians with remarkable effect and cor ,ectuess of aim. Tse Bashi-Blzottks have a!so iaffered much. From the heights of Silistria we lis . inguish perfectly the whole of the Russian army wilich is concentrated near Kalarasch. Eight sepa care camps be reckoned. Several deserters, .rho passed the Dann be by swimming, state that great iseouragement exists in the Russian army. • The vigilance of the Cossacks, who whip up all la g gers vith the knout, prevents desertion ; but if the Liglish and French armies come up there is not a loubtin my mind that numbers of the Russians .vould come over to them, having more confi hence in them than in the Turks. It is calculated that he ar..ty which blockaded Silistria did not consist if more than 50,000 men and 2,000 horses, and that the whole of the troops from Ginrgevo to Ras.: soya was not more than 70;000 men. But the Ittissians have left very considerable troop's in Bes sarabia, and the reserve corps of dragoons has re ceived a counter-Order and taken up its canton ments in Moldavia. The town of Silistria is much injured, and the quarter of the Christians is nearly iestroyed. Scarcely a house can be shown without he mark of a cannou ball, an I the streets are torn with shells. The Russians having left their lead bodies buri d within a few inches of the grotmd, the air •is quite infected with the odour, knd the c.ins.;quence is an *name() of fever. ['here is near this place a considerable camp, which is under the orders .of Ismail Pacha, an ixcellent general, the conqueror of the Russians at Jitate. Another camp is to be formed near R.ist ;bilk, and the division of Hassan Pacha has re .;rived orders to proceed there. The Generalis :lino is to return to-morrow with his staff to ichtunla. It will he a difficult matter for the ['urks to come up with the Russian army as it wants the m...tins of constructing bridges over the Danube. The RussiimS . have Xestroyel a part of the boats which they possessed, and the Turks have no bridge equipage. They are masters of some boats, sufficient to carry over a few detachments . ;inly, and not a large body of troops. The villages around Sitistria winch were abandoned during the 4iege are now again inhabited. The inhabitants, who had buried their wheat, in order not to deliver it to the Russians, have already furbished 300;000 kilogrammes to the Turkish authorities, which will suffice for the support o' the army of Ismail Paella and of the garrison of Sdistria, now, to - all appear ance for a great length of time, free from the hot: rocs of a siege. AUSTRIAN OCCUPATION OF THE PRINJIPALITIES. This Constitutionnel says :—" According to our private intrination, we believe that the immediate entrance of the Ans• Han troops into the Principa lities in consequence of the special treaty eoticludel t o that effvet between the Cabinet of Vienna and the Ctbinet of Constantinople, with the consent of the Cabinets of Lotplowand Paris, may he consi dered as formally decided cm." MONTEN EGRO. Several Russian officers awl agents who have till now been busily at work in Montenegro, under the able guidance of Colonel K iwalewsky, . passe:l throu4l) Vienna in the course of last week, en route for Sr. Petersburg, whither they were all ~r Jere to return. C donut K.,walewsky, tnH chief of this little corps, who has been staying here for the last three weeks, is now preparing to proceed to Jassy,. to join his regiment there, in .confortnity with orders received front St. Pet-rshur,g. From all this, we may safely infer that Rassia has at length abandoned her designs on Montenegro. VIE WAR IN ASIA. The last news from Kars state that General Beibetoatf's army wa 4 grad willy advancing to war , Is thplace, where money and provisi ons were very scarce,c:ce, t awl fresh intrigues have b een di scovere d r ~,,tinst General Gtiyon, in which Kerlin Pacha, the Egyptian Chief, and Ferhad Rolla (COlonel Steihu) are suspected strongly to be Vie plotters. Two Russian officers, who gave themselves up to Zarif 1 3 ,cha as deserters have been discovered Co he vile spies, and will be treated accordingly. Secret information received from Georgia would seem to show that the unfortunate natives will sooner submit to the Russian yoke, and abandon all idea of free loin, than fail in any attempt to obtain it, which they look upon as very proballle, so lung as the armies of Kars and LAziztan continue to re ceive checks. Tile Georgians seem woefully dis appointed that no European troops have, as yet, been sent to aid the Turkish forces in Anatolia. The French consul at Titlis had receive 1 orders to quit the country. Mr. Mair, an Englishman, liv ing at Kutais, was also on the,point of departure. RUSSIAN INFLUENCE IN PERSIA. Intelligence from Persia, via Kars, is of a very tmsatiifactory nature, The general opinion enter; ta.ined by the higher classes of Persians is, that the weak Shah will ultimately side with the strong Czar. Several Russian agents from Herat and Khiva had secretly reached Teheran, where money was scarce and business at a stand-siill, and so likewise in the once flourishing commercial city of Tabreez. Tile newly-appointed chargé d'affaires, M. Anitchkoff, who _hail at length reached Tehe ran, and relieved Prince Dolgorouky, will, from his knowledge of Persian politics, acquire I from a Ion(' rtsi.lence as consul at Tabreez, no doubt mate rially c hange the aspect of affairs between the two countries, to tire detriment of Great Britain and France, the present enemies of Russia. A rumour was current that Colonel Sheil, the British minis ter, now on leave in England, would shortly return to resume his functions, when the chargé d'Affaires, Mr. Thompson,- would take his turn of absence. M. Honeycoff, appointed to be Russian consul-general at Tabreez, is spoken of as a highly talented dip lomatist, and one likely to keep her Britannic Ma jesty's • representative thereat (also of no mean ability) constantly on the alert. Some Russian agents have latelybeen sent on a visit to the Koords, e ncamped at Mahmandie. a n d the Kuzlee From Kars to Makou they were escorted by two Ifundred Cossacks. THE AFFAIRS OF GREECE. ATHENS, July 16.—The political sky of Greece assumes every day a gloomiE.r aspect, notwithstand ing the continual efforts of the new Ministry to re meth the evils occasioned hy this headlong move ment. A petition, from which the following pa4saget , are extracted, has hen received by the Council of Mi nisters. It is dived Athens, June 19 (July 1), and is signed "Theodore Grivas, D. Tzaini Kariatassns, Papakosta Tzania,las, by delegation of those who have followed us in our quality as chiefs of the in surrection in Epirus, Thessaly, and Macedonia:"-- " Returned to independent Greec-', by order of her Go vernment, we wish, before all, to express our thanks to it for having saved the nation from the wrath of the two pro. tatting powers, and for having restored us to the rat& which we formerly possessed. "The only aim which we proposed to ourselves in cwss• ing the frontier and iu tteading on the sacred soil of our fathers has been the deliverance of our brothers from the Ottoman yoke ; besides this we have been induced to do so by the following motives : • I The former Minister of War, Charles Soutzo, assured Pg•itlYol7, is tbu, Ragke 424 gtg OPoe 4 fr *KW. . his Maje4y the King, that the Government was firmly resolved to aid the revolution with all the means in is pow r; that. the Western Powers would .00k at it. faveur ably ; th .t p: incip illy the States of G.o irrin, on accouLt of the of kin Ired, which exists between their Sovereigns and our own, wool , " iurnish its with all inra • ner of In:aerial aid, and Olt they wou:d protect us in ca 0 the Western Powers should change their opinion about this new strife ; and that, !toady, the intentions to aggran dise Greece, and to liberate our brothers, was evidently proved by the fact that several millions of money were in th hands of the Government. "It is worthy of remark that, while the Government lavished on some persons money and ammunition, ant rein .forced them with all means iu its power, it behaved towards us, who fought without any regard tci - personal having only in view the public interest, without wone,Y, as if it ha I propose I to itself to take on us an ignoble re venge. You must add to this, that the Government, which might before all to have consulted the protecting powers of Greece, without whose consent nothing could be honed, has undertaken this movement against their wish, falsely oreteuding that we had their full consent and approval. It has divided the cousideraule autos whichlt has received frou abroad among its crdaturas,—among personi having no influence with the people who were to be revolutionised. "If it has sent ammunition in ahnntlance and even some cannons for the siege of fortified places. it has in trusted them to people utterly incapable and without any past ant.'c6- dent, ho had deckle i themselves chiefs against the opinion of the country ; enile , tvouring in this way to anni hilate all personal influences,-it has succeeded, by its faults and false measures, to bring about the dissolution of the wh le movement., and the ruin arid death of many of our brothers in the neighbouring provinces, ‘• Many families from these provinces, in consequence of the ill success of the iEtsUrreetiou, have taken refuge in Greece, deprived of all means of subsistence. The soldiers who went with us and their families are likewise in want. We request you, therefore, Co give, as soon as possible, the necessary orders to make exact inquiries into the amount of money received from abroad, or from other sources—into the employment of this money, what sums have been expended ant what sums still remain—in order that from these latter these unfortunate suffering persons may get some relief; for it is horrible to think that these brave people, who have done nothing but obey the voice of their country. having been deceived by the Greek Government, should be now verging on despair." What a curious light this petition throws on the household affairs of the so-called patriots. It shows, by the confession of th ree o f th e mos t pro minent chiefs, that the movement was not only not a voluntary one, but that, on the contrary, money, persuasion, and promises were r.quired to make the patriots move. It shows the disputvs and quarrels between the Government and the chiefs named by it directly, and the self-consti tuted chiefs of the revolution of Epirus, Thessaly, and Macedonia, which precipitated the pitiable solution of this ill-timed invasion, and - it shows also with what spirit the people have come back. Bat this petition is only one instance of this spirit of reaction, and all those who have returned share it. The Miute ry has, iu coos (pence of this peti tion, and of the repeated coMplaints from other quarters, addresse,l a representation to the King, in which he is requested 'to make the Minis try aequaiuted with the sums of money which he has received from abroad, and in whose hands they are. He at first would not under stand the meaning of this representation, an I at last, when this would no more serve as an excuget he simply refused to give any explanation. Ne't the constitutional remedy to this would naturullY have been the resignation of the Mi&stry ; bu t this would just be playing th e King's game, for with the resignation of the Mi n i s t r y h e wo uld have again entirely free hands to b eg i n hi s intrigues anew. How is it them possible t o carr y o n a eon: stitutional Government in s uc h a s t a t e o f thin The King receives regular r e mitt ances f rom Russia, quite in the pension e r styl e . A G ree k h o use in Paris manages the business. With thi s money wholesale corruption is carried on. If one were to change to-day all persons about the Court, to-nier7 row it would be very much the same, for it is the curse of Gre•ce that so very, very few of her sons are proof against corruption. Of course this alone makes the intrigues of the Court possible. Thassdo's examination is finished, - and a report is being prepared to be presented to the King. This case is not the only one oil the traces of which the Ministry have been ; about a fortnight after their taking office they found out a man who had re ceived 40,000 draehms, and soon after another who had received 6J,000 drachms, in order to get up again the insurrection in Thessaly. Besides all these sums, proceeding from hidden, but not secret sources, the regular resources of the country have been tearfully squividered in this absurd enterprise. All the military stores are empty, the military budget for the whole year consumed, and the Treasury without a penny. RUSSIAN FINANCES. A Frenchjourual publishes an interesting article on the financial situation of Russia, from Which we extract the following : . . "The Russi.ui—Government, if kept for any time in check, will be shortly . placed in the alternative, either of becoming haukrup.,, ur of bearing the weight of all the individual ilistatets which its policy shall have provoked. And let it be well remarked, that the qnestion is not of a temporary embarrassment for Rosa t; the question is of a war unprecedented for her with two great marl lime of a war, which from the commtneement obliges her to keep up from seven to eight corps d'armee, at three or four hundred leagues' distbnce Irian each other, and t ) make an extraordinary levy of 400,000 nen, ad serfs, who have become free without any indent. , ,pity to their lords ; of a war, in shunt, wl.ich deprives these same lords, the propri,t •rs of the soil, not only of their instruments of labour, but of the produce of their •work, in corn, fl.tx, hemp, wool, tallow, timber, metals, dEc. al u of e l ci o u o i v O a t.. therefore Tile ea i ri r . : i t gs n e c v i laid landed cut 7 13 ,v e ya s , e t,: r x f s i o .. :: e fo s o f s . o il , a r t estimated r t . a tnh n s of capital Toe serf mu-t, morever, be completely equipp e d y lor d . is Calculate the cost of this equipment at •ody 2001. each, awl you have a further tax of 100 "The returns of the Customs for 1852 state that the expfprtg of Rusgia, by the Baltic and the Black'.

In Russia, all the productive resources have been , paralysed, whereas they have remained intact with the Czar's adversaries.

Does not this contrastsuffice to show under a new light the excellent strength of the position which the Western Powers have assumed ? The Czar WO been caught in his own snare.
