To conclude with THE COURIER 0 , LYONS, There is a delusion very prevalent amongst officers of both branches of her MAJESTY'S ser vice, and in which they frequently endeavour to iobtain the participation of civilians. They will gravely insist that the " Court-Martial " is the .est tribunal in the world, and that it invariably administers impartial justice, without fear or pre judice, favour or affection. Strange as the insertion may be, it is put forward in per fect good faith, and with a strong couvic tion of its truth and accuracy ; and any in credulity on the part of the audience occa ionally excites the ire of the gallant veterans to an extent very unpleasant to the sceptic. Obser vations are made, in no measured language, on the ignorance which could alone lead to any doubt or difficulty on facts so notorious, and hints are given is to a mode of terminating the argument that speedily enforces belief. In truth, the advocate .t the ordinary tribunals is seldom sufficiently well tcquain ted with the proceedings of these model courts to venture on any very positive assertion in reference thereto. He cannot speak of his own Isnowledge, and is, therefore, generally compelled to yield to his more energetic and more boisterous antagonist. Now, however, something is known of the mode of administering what we suppose is designated " justice" by the military tribunals, but to which ..ve should feel disposed to apply a very .different term. We have had ample opportunities of judging for ourselves, during the series of court martials in which Lieutenant PERRY has recently been engaged, as to the most approved mode of " crushing an obnoxious junior." We see the nature of the practice, if there be anything at all .>f established practice, and consequently are able to repiy to these statements by specific instances of unfair and arbitrary conduct. We do not complain of the first inquiry into the conduct of Lieutenant PERRY. He had in dicted a personal injury on a brother offi ser, and it was just and expedient that a strict and searching investigation should take place into ill the circumstances connected with the untoward transaction. It might have been well for the prosecutor (Lieutenant-Colonel GARRETT) and )thers if it had only been brought before a court 'f inquiry, where, the proceedings being carried on with closed doors, nothing would have come to light of the pleasing diversions of the high spirited officers of the 46th.

The market closed tamely, but steadily. The sales comprised 250 Bahia at 60., 200 Egyptian at 6.1. to Id., 30 Sea Island at is. to is. 6d., and the remainder nearly all American. Rail - way Shares were flat, at lower prices. The Board of Trade returns for the month and six months, ending July 5, have been issued. The declared value of the exports, exclusive of the un enumerated . aticles during the month was 7,707,641/. against 6,772,7331. in the corresponding month of last year. The imports increased in wheat, oats, Indian corn, currants, guano, hemp, rice, cassia figura, cinnamon, cloves, nutmegs, rum, tallow, and wine, but a falling off in oxen, sheep, cocoa, coffee, flour, flax, mahogany, palm oil, opium, saltpetre, tobacco, and brandy. The shipping returns show an increase in the month of 22,171 tons for the entries inwards of vessels employed in the foreign trade of the United Kingdom, and of 19,305 tons for the clearances outwards. In the coasting trade 28,088 tons less were em ployed than in the same month of 1853 for the entries inwards, and the clearances outwards de creased 7,375 tons. There appears to have been some objection in Parliament to the Bills of Exchange Bill, which is intended to permit the registration of dishonoured hills and promissory notes in Englan I and to allow execution thereon, the argument being that its provisions are too stringent, and that creditors will he compelled to use coercive measures and press their debtors when otherwise not so disposed, in order to comply with the terms of the act. To this it may be replied that there is a want of facility for the circulation of small bills, and that in Scotland the process termed summary' diligence is found beneficial. It is proposed that all bills of exchange or promissory notes unpaid shall be noted and protested in case of need, like foreign bills, and an officer of the Court of Common Pleas is to keep a register thereof. When this form is gone through, au order for payment within 7 days, in cluding the day of service, is given, but the party served can stay execution by application to the court, and by an affidavit disclosing what would be considered a legal defence. The base, if the court thinks fit, may th-n be brought to trial. The act is to be entitled "The Summary Execution on Bills of Exchange Act, 1854."

The criestion now is—both at Athens and at Madrid—like an echo of the old inquiry, "Under "which king, BENZONIAN ?" The power of King OTHO is doomed.- So likewise is that of Queen ISABELLA. All that can be effected in behalf of each respectively by MAVROCORDATO and ESPAR TEROIS to delay for a little while longer the inevitable hour either of quiet abdication or of violent expatriation. The alternative is before OTHO. It is before ISABELLA. The necessity for its acceptance may, we repeat, just possibly be postponed for a while by ESPARTERO and VIAVROCORDATO. Neither of them can altogether lissipate it. The downfall of both OTHO and ISABELLA we believe to be no longer merely "looming in the future," but to be here—close tt hand! Whence it follows that the question is, it this =merit of supreme emergency (for Spain tad Greece), Who are to be their successors ? It is the double problem now remaining to be solved in the midst of all the disturbance and confusion of a general war among the great Powers of Christendom.

VIENNA, TUESDAY EVENING.—The evacuation of the Principalities by the Russians must be for strategic reasons, as no official communication of the fact has been made by the Czar to the Aus trian Government. The diplomatist Gortschakoff has been informed that after the Emperor of Austria has joined the army no further negotiations relative to the evacu ation of the Principalities can be carried on. Montenegro is in a very disturbed state. Generals Hess and Kellner arrived from the army to-day. The Oest. Correspondenz has the following au thentic intelligence : On the 27th July the Russians quitted, and the Turits occupied, Frateschi. The Russians were retreating in forced marches to Schelava, and thence to Poposoti and Obileschti, with all i heir artillery and waggon trains. The Bucharest hospitals were to be evacuated by the evening of the 29th. Oltenitza was evacuated by the Russians during the night of the 27th, after the tete du pont and the bridge of boats had been destroyed. The' Turks immediately occupied the island opposite Kalarasch. On the 28th, the Russian army quitted Kaluge reni, and in the evening were to bivouac between the Argish and Saban. Their artillery carriages, hospital and baggage trains were leaving ou parallel roads towards the Sereth. The complete evacuation of Bucharest was to be effected on the 31st July. During this retreat or flight the thermometer was 104 in the shade. DEMONSTRATION OF THE RUSSIAN SENATE AGAINST THE CZAR. The Press, of Vienna, has the following from Warsaw, dated the 23d ult. :—" It is said at St. Petersburg that the Senate of the Empire has taken the liberty of making a sort of demonstration against the Emperor and his policy. It is alleg d that, after the receipt of the last news from the theatre of war, a considerable number of the most influential members of the Senate addressed a me moir to the Emperor, in which they spoke strongly on recent events ; they could uot, they said, ap prove of the foreign policy of the Government, which all Europe condemned, but in which, never theless, the Emperor persisted ; and they declared that they could not accept any responsibility for what might arise out of it. They at the same time expressed the wish that the Emperor would satisfl the demands -of Austria and Prussia, by with drawing his armies from the Principalities, which he himself had declared his intention of evacuating, and that he would thereby put an end to the dis astrous war in which he is engaged. Several eminent personages are named as having signed the memorial ; even the Hereditary Prince is said to have adhered to it. It is not known what effect the demonstration will have. Immediately after receivinr , the memoir, the Emperor left for Cronstatit, and has not yet returned to St. Petersburg." In the Common Pleas. On the day of A.D. 18.

Yesterday afternoon bills at 90 days were nego tiated upon Paris at 25 25 to 27k, upon Amsterdam at 1116/. to 17, upon Hamburg at 13 6i to .6i, and upon Trieste at 12 24 to 23. These rates exhibit :a slight decline on Paris and Trieste, but an improve ment upon Hamburg. Amsterdatmwas firm. There is still a sligt demand for gold for expor tation. The stock market was legs firth. this morning when business commenced, Consols being 92g g for transfer, and 92k g for account, and they have since dropped to 92k t for money, and to. 92& for;time. The business done has not been large, but there is no support given by purchases for investmAnt, and consequently a sale or two has a marked effect upon prices. Exchequer Bills have been quoted pa n to 3s. premium, and the Bonds are g premium. Bank Stock has fluctuated from 209 i to 214. East India . stock has been at 223. The New 31. per Cents. have been 92 to 93g. The foreign intelligence, both as regards the Russian retreat and the Spanish Ministry, conjoined witn the fine weather, might have been expected to give a better tone. The foreign market has been very inert, but Spanish Bonds are firm, the Deferred at 181 ex lie. The Certiticates are at 41. Dutch 2h per Cents. have been 60! to 61 ex div., and Mexican Stock is steady at 24k. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 to 61 2 .- ; Mexi can, 244 to 241 ; Peruvian, 66 to 63 ; Ditto 3 per Cents., 50 to 52 ; Portuguese 4 per Cants., 39 to 41 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 97 to 99 ; Ditto 41 per Cents., 81 to 83 ; Spanish New Deferred, 14 to 19 ; Ditto 3 per Cants., 37 to 38 ; Ditto Certi ficates, 4 to 4i ; Ditto Passive, 3i to 4k. The English Railway Shares have been rather drooping, and sales are more pressed. In the French lines business has been quiet. The Mining Shares have been rather flatter, and the Bulks and Miscellaneous Companies, including Crystal Palace, are cheaper to buy.

Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary are about to leave Cambridge C ,ttage, for Cowes, Isle of Wight, where their Royal Hi..flines ,, es intend to sojourn about three weeks. WAGES AND LABOUR IN CANADA.—SO great is the demand for labour of every kind in Canada, that the farmers are now inducing men to quit the railway and other public works in progress there, by giving th em not only the cash wages they receive front contractors, namely, one doll.tr, or 4s. 2d. sterling a day, but they also furnish them with their board into the bargain. Boys of from 11 to 14 are now f mod so useful that they are earning, both on the works and as farm servant., from 16s. to 224. sterling a month and Vieir board. What the latter is may .be judged from the breakfast which a gentleman lately saw one-of them eat on the Grand Trunk Railway :—a large slice of yo ist beef, five mealy potatoes, two thick slices of first-class wheaten bread, and an egg-cup of fresh butter, washed down with a pint of unskiwmetl milk.

Letters have been received in Paris from Con stantinople, which state that the marriage of the Sultan's daughter with the son of Reschid Pacha was definitively fixed for the 16th of August, but that many still doubted if it would take place on that day, on account of the expenses which the fetes and the establishment of the young couple would throw upon the Government. That expense was calculated at more than six millions of francs —an expense which, in the exhausted state of the Imperial treasury, was thought unadvisable. The report was current in Constantinople that Marshal de St. Arnaud was to be recalled, and to be suc ceeded i❑ the command of the army by General Canrobert. Both Riza Pacha and Marshal de St. Arnaud were severely attacked for their prodigal administration of the army. M. de Bruck and Lord Stratford de Radcliffe have been rather cold to each other since the nomination of the Hospo dars of WallaChia and Moldavia. The candidate recommended for one of these posts by Lord Strat ford de Radcliffe was General Maghe.o. It was beli ived that the Ottoman Government had aban doned the idea of depriving the Bank of Constan tinople of tha firman which gives it a right over the Egyptian tribute. TACTICS OF THE RUSSIANS. A letter from Warsaw, of the 25th ult., in the Ost Deutsche Post of Vienna, says :—" It is certain chat new orders have reached Prince Gortschakoff from Sc. Petersburg to withdraw his troops in a. north-eastern direction, following the course of the ' A uta, the first stations being Vrestie, Slobosie, and Sulu. It is consequently certain that the Russians will not accept a battle offered to •them. Tae disposable troops in Poland have received orders to march towards the South. There remain at Warsaw only the number of men necessary fur the service of the citadel. The last assemblages of troops on the Northern frontier of Gallica have been carried more to the South, and are at present nplete. Prince Gortschakoff has 950 pieces of (a .non and 200,000 men under his orders." The German Journal of Frankfort contains a letter from St. Petersburg of the 224 ult., which of Orenbur g has been put in says :—" The corp s movement.

The first impressi on on m y m i n d w a s, and the chief i mpress i on st ill i s, one of ex treme wonder. liow was it possible that such a place could resist, even for a couple of weeks, the assaults of a ? • large an d well-disciplined army of. 80,000 MOH The Turks have made of Silistria what the European engineers never iirended it to be—a place of great strength, fit to repulse the attack oh divisions of itifaatrY, and to defy the destructive powers of numerous batteries of enormous strength. To take Silistria, a third-rate fortress, the Russians, tausteriug on the whole 80,000 men on either bank of the Danube, lay two months before Silistria, and bombarded that fortress for thirty-nine dais. In the course of that time they threw 50,000 shot and sheds. They had 16 batte ries on the islands of the Danube, commanding the water-side, the weakest of all the weak points of Silistria. They stormed almost every adieu day with large stormin g columns of sixteen batta lions, and always led fresh troops into the fire, while the besieged had to repel these attacks with the same troops that fought and bled in the previ ous encounters. And for all that, at the end of 39 d a ys, the Ru ss i ans, after hav i ng two of their gene rals killed and one wounded, were compelled ti , raise the siege, Without having gained possession 01 a single guu—without having established them selves, even for a day, in any one of the en trenchments, and without carrying off a basket even from that A r ab Tabia against which their chief assaults had been directed. The Aral , Tabia is a mere saudhill, open at tl , ci gorges, surrounded by a small ditch, and inward by earth baskets, with e mbrasures for six pieces of artillery. Of these, four were always considered to be silenced by the heavy fire of the Russian bat teries, and there was hardly a day when more than two guns were being worked in the Arab Tabia. The gallant defenders of this entrenchment—Turk ish artillerymen formed in the school of General Rutslikowski and Captain Wendt, supported by Arnouts and Arab sharpshooters—held out to the last amidst au incessant shower of shells, balls, arid bullets, which literally rained down upon them. Lie troops, that had no space to move in the Tabia, a n d the small ditch at its left flank, lay in holes which they had dug into the earth, waiting until their turn came to advance and belabour the Rus sians. The artillery of the Tabia did good execu tion, especially when loaded with grape and canis ter; it poured its contents at a deadly vicinity into the ranks of the storming columns. But what chiefly arrested the progress of these columns was the incessant and well-aimed musketry fire which the Arnouts and Arabs kept up from the battery and their ditch. They singled out the officers, and thus spread consternation among the ranks of the Russians. Still the enemy forced their way more than once into the battery and the ditch ; but on each occasion the Arabs and Arnouts, returning to the charge, expelled them again, and even pursued them into their own trenches. The town of Silistria itself, exposed to the. fire from the Russian batteries, is in a lamentable con dition. There is scarcely a house but has had a shell through its roof, or a couple of round balls having split its sides, and forced their way through and through. The inwzques and public buildings are in part unroofed; the church, which the Em peror Nicholas built for the Christians of Silistria, has been burnt by his own artillery. The streets are full of large holes, where the bombs forced their way into the ground, and the pavement is torn up and the stones strewed about with the ex plosions. Of course, the inhabitants of the town were not safe in their lath and plaster houses, which were about the worst places they could be in. They dug holes in their gardens and yards, covered them with rafters and layers of earth, and they lived, au extemporised nation of troglodites, and quaking with fear at night when the bombs and rockets illumined the sky, and the shells fell and burst in every direction around them. Con sidering the heaviness and frequency of the Rus sian fire, the list of eventualities is very small. The besieged had 500 ki Redo]] the spot, and 630 wounded, A great many of the wounded died afterwards, for all their wounds, especially those from the conical halls of the Minie rifles, are very severe. No account could be kept of slight casualties, as the men never gave in, or reported their wounds, if they could by any means keep on their legs. The Russian losses are far more severe, and on a moderate computation have been estimated at 12,000. They lost two generals—Sel wan, who was killed in au assault, and Schilders, who died after wounds he received. Prince Gortschakoff himself was wounded—whether dangerously or not is not known in Silistria. The reports of the spies on his Serene Highress's condition were confused and contradictory. The Russians had made about 12 miles of lines and trenches round the town, in which they established their batteries and collected their forces previous to the assaults. All the trenches are deep, large, and comfortable, with broad steps, ,leading up, and in► the flanks. The highest credit is duo to the Russian engineers for the solidity, and, I might almost say, the finish of their earthworks. Vaults, with divans made of earth, are dug out at the most interesting spots, to serve as resting-places for the generals, on their rounds Through the trenches. The last graves dug in he hurry of departure are close by, and, from their extent, show that the losses in the last days of the siege must have been severe. The last of the dead were buried with great carelessness. I saw arms and legs sticking out of the graves, and actually lying on them. The earlier graves of the Russians, near their chief camp, show that the for mer burials were conducted with more care and decency. The graves were well covered with earth, and no traces of defunct mortality remain. The camp itself must have been splendid. The Russians have done there what they never, by any chance, do in their own country—they have dug wells and wade roads, and excellent roads too. The tents of the generals must have been perfect palaces, the traces on the ground give such indications of size and roominess. THE CAMP AT DEVNO. We extract the following from a letter, dated— Near the Camp at Devno, July 19.—1 t is astonish ing that in the sayings and doings of some 25,000 men there should be so little worth recording—at least, if anything there be, it is confined to the temple of the official Eleusis, under snap locks, fastened up with red tape, or pigeon holed in the ample recesses of our chieftains' portfolios. Surely our march ought to be sure and ought to be lengthy. If success depends on secresy, our army ought to be crowned with profusest laurels, however late in their coming. Well matured indeed the plans of our leaders must be ; but Mariana, in the " Moated Grange," was never more weary of these long delays than most of the young officers out here, while time is ripening for the mystic coup. It is actually a delightful relief for them to plunge into the ex citing details of the great beard and moustache question—that weighty matter, as to which dis cussion n',,wer ends, and illustration never tires, and which agitates alike the Commander-in-Chief and the meanest. Truth to tell, the orders issued by Generals of Divisions and Commanders-in-Chief have had far more to do with dress and undress, with " neck and crop," and with the capillary li centiousness of the soldiery, than with aught else, and their souls must burn within them at the un• dutiful conduct of Bashi-Bazouk subalterns, who will persist in getting out of uniform whenever they can, and getting into the wildest plaids, the most - haring checks, an' the most vivid shirting that Do sign, assisted by Colour, can invent. Why do these Bashi-Bazouks vex their chieftains so ? Simply be cause their uniforms are uncomfortable and mean, and mufti is loose and easy. What stout man of taste . would wear a red shell jacket, with dingy green or yellow collar and cutiS, even ough no eye but that of a rude Bulgarian peasant or wooden-faced peasantess gazed on his fair proportions, if he could wander forth in a frock or other garment more suited to the development of his figure ? Would any man take out his sword to give it an airing in a rural walk if he could leave it behind and take a stick ? and who, with the thermometer indicating 110 degrees, would wear a neckerchief and stand-up collar if he could go without them? If a stranger approached our camp he would meet. figures which it would puzzle him much to make out, and to define whether they were grooms or gentlemen, so strange their attire, so battered and contused their " wide awakes," so curious their jackets and trouserings And leggings. Very, very har , l set indeed are we to kill time while waiting for the harvest of laurels to burl. For the last week there has been a de lightful change in the weather—it rains, thun :hers, lightens, and blows for a great portion of each lay—anything is better than being baked alive. The rain falls down from the he tveus in splashing streams, the thunder is ear-splitting, and rattles for hours through the mountains, the lightving i is forked, fierce, and vivid, and the wind is strong ti iluoh to shake tent poles . to their foundation, and sometimes to overturn the saturated canvas on its unhappy occupant. It is in such times as these that ennui comes on a man like a demon, aided very often by diarrhoea, or a gentle dysentery. It is then that azure diabolicals flutter down in shoals apon him, and make him think of horrible things, which be announces to his dismal friends, such; as ''sendig in my papers, and cutting the whole kneed thing altogether," and then it is that co lonels are consigned to distant and unpleasant daces, and generals are denounced as " confounded ild humbuis." Books there are few indeed ; I know of one copy of the " Trois Mousquetaires," and " Vingt Ans Apres," which is at this present writing going through a regiment in detachments, the main body being bound up iu an elastic band, and the bits being distributed in order, a few pfiges at a time, to the various readers. A cargo of cheap novels would make a famous investment. Not many games can be played, for there are cricket, at which the sun stump ec pletneuts, but there have been spae men, and nearly realised the fearful picture of the " Bat in blisters," drawnby r Dog-hunting wasgmoaodtf-nelwlme4lanannyt. Alf red gle. time, and, besides, it w as not but in it favour paled withafter terth ae authorities. Mounted parties of 15 to 20 would ride about the neighbo urhood of some village, and popular, l it would not be long ere a fierce, wild-looking, d shaggy cur •was roused from his l air , and '' l t n arted across the plains at a rattling pace which would do no discredit to a Leicestershire or Gal w.xy Reynard. He generally made for the hills, and got off after a good run, but sometimes he' was fairly run down—killed if he was savage, spared if properly submissive. There are, however, occa sional meets still made for this exciting sport. There was a grand battue through the woods the other day by the men and officers of Sir D. L. Evans's division, about four miles from this. About :100, men beat through the woods, but the sport vas meagre, consisting of a few roe deer, wood pigeons, doves, km. Frequently h ares run irough the camp, and whenever the alarm of such an event is given, men run like .mad through thistle, briar, tud prickly bush, till poor puss, headed on all sides, aid turned by hundreds, takes refuge in some clump of thorn, and is made an easy capture. Last week a wild boar was led by his. aspirings after the anknown to take a saunter one moonlight night within the lines. Ho was seen by a sentry : the men turned out, and Porous fell, transfixed by many a bayonet, in a plucxy but unlucky charge to break the line of his enemy. As yet, the only trophy of which we can boast is a magnificent young eagle, belonging to the 33d regiment. His appetite and his courage are alike gr,fat, and his ferocity is akin to both. We have had races, both at the Guards' camp, at Sir D. L. Evans' camp, and at this, and same of them went off well ; but even these are as flat as the course, and have now lost the charm of novelty. There is much talk about "moving soon," and the destination varies according to the whim of the talkers. Sebastopol is a favourite resort, so is Anapa ; a few talk of Bucharest.

She stopped at the rule khan or cafe, t - nd enjoyed her pipe for a time, so that one had an opportunity of seeing this Turk ish Semiramis. She is a lean, withered, angular woman, of sonic 70 years of age, with a face seamed and marked in every part of its , dark ma hog Any-coloured surface with rigid wrinkles. Her nose is hooked and skinny—her mouth toothless and puckered—her eyes piercing black, restless, and sinister, with bleary lids, and overhung by tufty grey brows. Her neck, far too liberally ex hibited, resembles nothing so much as the stem of an ill-conditioned, gnarly, young olive tree. With most wanton and unjustifiable disregard pre joufaitchees teoafchmingusssuoifmNaluash, = di et : , s n i d iow o s f t a ll her face, and wears no yashmak. Her attire con sisted of a green turban, dirty and wrinkled as her face ; an antiquated red jacket, with remnants of embroidery, open in front, and showing, as far as mortal sight could gaze upon it, the lady's bosom ; a handsome shawl waist scarf, filled with weapons,, such as knives, pistols, and yataghans ; and wide blue breeches. Hanoum is a spinster, and her followers believe she is a pro phetess. The followers were Bashi-Bazouks pur sang, very wild and very ragged, and stuck all over with weapons, like porcupines with spines. Their horses were lean and scraggy, and altogether it was a comfort to see this interesting Virgin Queen of the Kurds on her way to Shumla, if, indeed, it was the Fatima Hanoum or some humble imitator. The lady refused to visit our camp, and seemed to hold the Giaour in profound contempt. To-day there was a much more interesting arrival. Some five-and-twenty horsemen rode into the village, attired in the most picturesque excesses of the Osmanli; fine, handsome, well-kempt men, with robes and turbans a blaze of gay colours, and with' arms neat and shining from the care bestowed on them. They said they came from Peshawur and other remote portions of the north-western proviices of the Indian Peninsula, and while the officer who was conversing with them was wondering if their tale could be true, the officer in charge of the party came forward and announced himself an English man. It turned out to be Mr. Walpole, formerly an officer in our navy, whose charming book ou the East is so well known, and it appeared that the men under his command were Indian Mahomedans, who had come up on their pilgrimage to Mecca, and who, hearing of the Turkish crusade against the Infidels, had rushed to join the standard of the Sultan. They are to be attached to Colonel Beat son's corps of Bashi-Bazouks, and to form a kind of body-guard to the Colonel, whose name is so well known in India. Mr. Walpole seems quite delighted with his command, and, as he has the power of life and death, he seems to think there will be no difficulty in repressing the irregularities of his men. Outrages on the Bulgarians are of common occurrence in the neighbourhood, and Sir George Brown has expressed his determination to punish all Turks found guilty of them, and above all to suppress the infamous practice of child-steal ing and kidnapping. ADHESION OF THE GERMANIC DIET TO THE AUSTRO-PRUSSIAN TREATY. The following is a translation of the document containing th 3 adhesion of the Germanic Diet to the (1.- fensive and offensive treaty of Austria and Prussia of the 20th of April. This adhesion, it may be observed, was carried by 15 out of 17 votes, in restricted council. The abstainers were the two Mecklenburgs, forming the 14th curie, or vote, and Denmark (for Holstein Luneburg), forming the 10th. Holland has acceded for Luxemburg, but not for Lemburg : "In consideration that his Majesty the Emperor of Austria and his Majesty the King of Prussia have laid before the mostserene German Confederation on the offer. sive and defensive treaty concluded between them on the 20th April ult., with an invitation to adhere to the same ; in consideration and acknowledgment of the grounds which have induced both the most - august Go vernments of Austria and Prussia to conclude and lay this treaty before the constitutional organ of the Con federation ; in consideration of the exalted mi-sion of defending with united power the general interests of Germany, even beyond the federal territory, against all encroachment ; and guided by a desire to stimulate German unity. loyalty, and strength, for the welfare of the common fatherland, by adhering co the said treaty, the German Diet resolves— "1. On the grounds of Art. 2 of the acts of the Con• federation, and Articles 1, 35, and 47 of the Vienna concluding acts, in the name of the most serene German Confederation, to adhere authentivally through the present declaration, and for the duration of the war that has broken out between Russia on theone side, and Turkey, England, and France on the other, to the treaty concluded between Austria and Prussia for the estab lishment of a defensive and offensive alliance, which treaty runs thus (here follows the body of treaty of 20th April); and also to. the extension to Art. 3, con tamed in an additional article, which runs thus, (here follows the additional article), under the agreement that his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, and his Majesty the King of Prussia, hall fulfil the engagements en tered into by them, in virtue of Art. 11 of the Federal acts, by means of their entire German and non-German force: - - " 2. The measures requisite for carry;ng out the above resolution remain reserved for special consideration. For the purpose of preparing for the same, no special com mittee selected in the sitting of the 24th May ult., shall be charged to place itself in communication with the military committee." STATE OF THINGS IN GREECE. We read in a letter from Athens, of July 22 :-- At last Mavrocordato has arrived. A French steamer brought him from Syra, where he had ar rived with the Marseilles stea,niergoing toConstan tinople. The King sent for him to have an inter view; fortunately, King Otho's fascinations are lost upon the Premier. He is the only man in Greece of whom this opinion is entertained, by partisan as well as adversary. Mavrocordato has the hardest task which, per haps, ever fell to the share of a Premier. In a country without any public spirit, where a vile in triguing Court has for 20 years carried on a con- sequent system of corruption, where the most violent popular passions excited by the late events have hardly subsided, where the vereign, the sworn enemy of the constitu tion has large sums of money at his disposal, while the public Exchequer is empty,—to be in such a country Prime Minister and re_spoiiinsi tile adviser of a so-called constitutional is certainly no enviable position—nay, n w a ould be g absolutely untenable were it Then for the 6,000 army of foreign troops at the P ei i i rr ea u y s, occu pation, first intended to compel Greece to a matter of strict neutrality, has now become a . neces sity for. Greece itself. If it was withdrawn anarchy would be the con sequence, while, perhaps, by the which its presence exercises a salu tary change of t moral influence the whole system hitherto carried on may be effecte d. To say that either the alli e d forces or the new Ministry is popular would be false ; both are endured as necessary evils which cannot be helped. The sight of an army of occupa tion can never he very exhilarating to a people, as it reminds it always of its own humiliation. The Ministry, on the other hand, has made many ene mies by the distribution of places. Everybody knows what a difficult thing it is to satisfy the claimants for employment in the best-governed countries, but few have an idea what an onus patronage isiu Greece. You know how former Ministers have obviated this difficulty, by adopting either an auction or by intro ducing a fixed tariff for every employment. ,By abolishing this practice the new Ministry set nearly the whole male population of Greece above 16 place hunting. The Anglo-French party was of late iu such discount that it numbered very few members worth speaking of ; consequently, it was not enough to supply the demand for employ& ; on the other hand, the Government would not keep in office the employes put there by the Court; so all those wh o have had hitherto no places, although most —nay, one may say, all—of them tried hard for it, came now forward as the martyrs of constitutionalism, and as the sufferers for their Anglo-French sym pathies, and claimed places. The Ministry, having, unfortunately, very few good men of its own, and not wanting to employ its avowed adversaries, although these latter were quite ready to serve, was forced to take many of this mongrel set, which numbers not one known name, and whose mem bers cannot be said to belong to the most dis tinguished class of society. Now that Mavro cordato has arrived, it is hoped that things will settle down. There will be very likely some changes in the Ministry itself, as Mavrocordato will scarcely be able to carry on, together with his onerous task as Premier, also the Ministry of Finance, which requires so much. routine work. The only difficulty will be to find somebody for the latter place. Unless he be an accomplished alchy mist who has indeed found the philosopher's stone, it cannot be seen how he will bring the Greek budget to an equilibrium. The whole town of Athens, as well as the Piraeus, has been in a state of great excitement since the beginning of this week. The report was spread that the cholera had broken out among the French troops, and that it is °begin ning to spread also among the inhabitants. The truth is, that the mortality amen°. the French troops has increased lately to a fearful degree, and all the deaths are in consequence of a violent diar rhoea or cholerine. Nor is this at all surprising, if one considers the position of the French troops. They are encamped ou the bare chalk bill which separates the Piraeus from the Munichio, under tents which, instead of keeping off the heat, rather concentrate it, by interrupting the current of air which always prevails near the seashore. They have until lately been obliged to get up at two o'clock in the morning, make a long march, and exercise with knapsacks anti other burdens. They come back exhausted and dripping with perspiration, eat quantities of bad and unripe fruit, drink shocking resined wine, and bathe afterwards for the rest of the clay in the sea. Besides this, their provisions are bad, as they pay low prices. What nature could hold out against such odds ? One must acknowledge that things are far better managed with the English troops ; they are in barracks—for which, of course, fetch pay about three ti mes t h e pr i ce th e y usually ; they get capital meat, because they pay , from 85 to 93 lepta, while the Fre nc h pay Not asingle man is allowed to g o ou t b e tween 11 and 3 o clock in the afternoon ; they are no.: over-drilled—and last, but not l eas t, th e y are so much more cleanly in their h a bit s . One sees strikingly the effect of these arrangements, for since they came here only one man has died, although the heat this year, owing to the continual sirocco, .is greater than for the last 20 years. SPAIN. THE NEW MINISTRY. A telegraphic despatch from Paris this (Wednes• day) morning says the new Spanish Ministry is composed as follows : Duke of Victoria President of the Council. O'Donnell War. Alonso Justice Lujan Santa Crux lnterior. Mollaro Finances. Salazar Marine. Pacheco Foreign Affairs. O'Donnell and S to Miguel are made marshals. SEVILLE, July . 24.—A Consultative Junta has been formed. General Serrano has been appointed Captain- General of Andalusia. A telegraphic despatch, dated Madrid, July 28, says the National Guard is already o unposed of nine battalions and two batteries of artillery. A decree of the Junta suppresses the Royal Council, and another calls into force the Press Lair of 1837. The decree which exiled the Infante Don Enrique to Valencia is revoked. The Juuta has also abrogated the prohibition laid on the circulation of certain foreign journals. Another decree orders the arrest and trial of some of the ex-M Misters and also of General Quinto, ex-Governor of Madrid. It is said that the Ministers are concealed in the hotels of the diplomatic body. Queen Christina has not as yet left Madrid. M. Salamanca has been arrested and imprisoned at Albacete. General Lara, Mata-y-Alos, and Quesada, who commanded the troops in the late struggle, have their choice either to retire to a fixed place of resi dence or to leave the country. It is said that General Blaser's force has " pro nounced" at Baylen. On the 25th General O'Donnell was at Cordova, on his way to Madrid, at the invitation of Espartero and the Junto. Another telegraphic despatch from Madrid, on the evening of July 29, states that since the en trance of Espartero into Madrid the state of affairs has improved. The Bourse has re-opened, and the Funds have risen. The Three per Cents. were done at 34, from which price they rose to 35. San Miguel has addressed a circular to the caP tain-generals, demanding the adhesion of the pro vincial juntas to the Queen's authority. PERPIGNAN, July 31.—Barcelona is tranquil• The strike of the workmen has ceased. FR A_NCE. For some days past it has been rumoured in Paris that Prince Napoleon is to resign the com mand of his division and to return to Paris. Le - ters received from Varna, of the 16th July, state that among his ento urage hi s return i s consi dered certain, and that he is already making. his prepara tions to winter in Paris. The same letters state that both the French and English troops were be ginning to show discontent at their inaction, the motives of which they are unable to comprehend. The Turks also murmur at the passive attitude assumed by their allies, and it is to be feared that if employment be not speedily found for the trooPel a bad feeling will be engendered on both sides. It is now doubtful if the Emperor will return to Paris for the fetes of the 15th of August. The price of wheat fell in the markets of Satur day, at the different towns near Paris, from lf. 500. to 4f. the hectolitre. In the more distant markets there is an average fall of about 7f. AMERICA. I (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPTI.) LIVERPOOL, AUG. 2, 5.55 A.U. The Baltic has arrived this morning from New York, with $557,083 in specie, and 178 passengers. She brings dates from New York to the 22d July. The steam-ship Franklin remained in .the same position, and it was thought she would not be got off. In the Senate an effort was being made to force the ratification of the Canadian reciprocity and fishery treaty, so that the House could act upon it before the adjournment of Congress. On the 21st the Senate passed the bill appropri ating $8,500,000 for the redemption of Texas' Bonds. Later accounts have been received from Mexico; the reports of the success of the revolutionists in Michoacan were denied by the official papers, which represent that the rebels had been defeated, their principal chief shot, and their leaders im prisoned. Other accounts assert that the insur rection was progressing. Advices from Havannah to the 14th state that a steamer, belonging to the Nicaragua Transit Com pany, had been wrecked on Coralando reef, west end of Cuba. Tile yellow fever was on the increase.
