TIP: y appear to have been carefully and judicious:'y framed, taking all necessary precautions for t tie safe landing of the Allied Forces, and enabli-tig them to carry out the great object in which they are engaged.—the capture of Sebastopol, and - the destruction or transfer to another flag of the Russian Fleet, now skulking beneath its battet If any doubt could have been entertained, after the admirable proclamation of Marshal ST. ARNAUD, as to the intentions of the Naval, and it would be set at res.t. by Military Commanders, the publication of this highly-important and :lute- resting document, the very commencement where o f states that " the invasion of the Crimea" had been determined upon. This invasion could have but One object. Its destination is clearly the Russian stronghold. Were it otherwise, it would only lead to a very useless expenditure of human and the total destruction of the characters of tho se who had the control and management of the un dertaking ; and we may rely on the distinguished and gallant men engaged, that when once the sword is fairly drawn, when the French and English troops are pitted against the adversary, there will no longer be any listlessness or apathy perceptible. This is not the moment, then, to complain of the inactivity that has heretofore pre . vailed, albeit it depressed the spirits and deci . mated the ranks of the Allied Armies, and although it enabled the CZAR to make the most ener getic preparations for giving the assailants a warm reception, and materially enhancing the difficulties they Would have to encounter and overcome. The expedition would not, however, have been undertak en unless it appeared to the experienced and gallant officers entrusted with the charge that every impediment could be sur mounted, and the Union-j ac k stituted for the Eagle on th e and T ricolour sub great Russian arsenal. ca ptured fort s o f t h e Although the place selected for th e landing has y specified, it is positi vely not been exactly asserted that two points have been indicated, one of which will witness the disembarkation. T hey both lie to the northward of Sebastopol---the on© about seven or eight, the other fifteen, miles frOm the town ; and it is understood that the ultimate • choice will depend on the nature of the opposition that may be offered at eith(r lity. The time' allowed, after the intended expedition was fully known, would enable the Russians to throw up entrenchments, in order to resist the first landing. But if, as we •believe to be the fact, our heavy vessels of war , can get to within a quarter of a mile of the beach, ' a speedy account would be rendered of any tem : porary works that could possibly have been con structed during the interval. As tho broadsides will thus command not merely the point or points of landing, but at least a mile and a half inland, ire.cailuot see that any serious interruption can The public i 3 respectfully informed that this Theatre is OPEN, andex as entire new direction, tier Three Weeks on y.—Tiiis EVE N INO her Ma!esty's serr ,, n , will perform Wallace's Opera, MikRI TA.NA.

A little annoyance may, unquestion ably, be occasioned, and possibly some loss. But that is all, and suck a resistance would excite Et, enthusiasm rather than damp the spirits of the soldiers. It may be remarked that the landing of troops even under far less favourable circum stances, and with less potent assistance, has in- variably proved successful. The men are, in fact, thrown on the shore. They must make good their footing. They know well that they cannot re treat, and, therefore, the preliminary success being • of literally vital consequence, it is, as we h ave stated, invariably accomplished, and th a t w i t h out such serious losses as might, from the apparent difficulties of the undertaking, be anticipated. The boats are all to be found in order, on the off shore side of the different vessels ready to form the line abreast, on the signal being given from the Agamemnon. They are to keep " a space of 20 feet clear of the oars of each other," so that there may be no "fouling," while at the same time they will be sufficiently close for mutual support and assistance. The form of advance is to be " in line, abreast, and the greatest care will be taken to preserve' the line, so that no boat ad vance beyond it, or fall into the rear, but all will pull to the shore stoutly and steadily, preserv ing the strictest silence." This is a very judicious arrangement, preventing the struggle for the post of honour, which might otherwise take place, and which, by landing the men in small bodies, in place of simultaneously, would probably occasion a needless sacrifice of human life. It is only necessary to add, on this part of the case, that three divisions are to be formed by the boats, which will be in the following order, viz.:— "First Division—All launches and Turkish pin naces from the sailing ships of the fleet, commenc ing, with the Britannia's boats on the extreme right, and ending with the Diamond's troop boats, on the left of tho division. Second ' Division— All paddle-box boats of the lynx steamers towed by their own cutters, commencing with the Furi ous on the right of the division, and terminating with the Fury on the left. Third Division—All boats of the transport service, commencing with the boats of the Emperor on the right of the division, and ending with the Gertrude on the left, except ing the ships Monarchy, No. 60; Harkaway, 39; Talavera, 93 ; MAry Ann, .42 ; Calliope, 42 ; Echurre-,a, 44 ; which are not to send boats until they are cleared of their artillery, that land with the Light Division ; after which their boats will proceed to the ships pointed out to them. The First Division will take the right, the Third Division the centre, the Second Division on the left . of the line. Britannia's first boat on the right, Diamond's the last boat on the left. the npe.,-or's boat next to Diamond's, the first boat on the right, and the Gertrude's, No. 54, the last boat on the left. The Furious the first boa on the right, nex:`, to Gertrude's, and the Fury's the last boat on the left." The troops on landing will " form • in con tiguous columns, at a quarter distance." Till that is effected, they are not even to load—a useful pre caution to prevent any premature ". fusillade," that would be worse than useless, and to keep the ammunition perfectly dry. Both offiters and .non are to take with them three days' provisions, consisting of bread, *and salt meat ready cooked, tnd the men also to have their " canteens, filled with water." So equitably is everything ar ranged that the officers are only to take with them " what they can carry themselves." In such an emergency they will not 'be allowed to place extra burdens on any, even on their own servants, who, as " fighting men," will have to look out for themselves. The first lauding is to lie effected by the infantry, the cavalry being withheld until the position is secured. We may now, as we have stated, anticipate at any moment the execution of these judicious arrangements, and the successful landing of the troops. After that, many days cannot elapse before something decisive has been accomplished. We dread not the result, when it depends not on the negotiations of slippery diplomatists, but on the valour and energy of the disciplined troops of France and England, engaged in a righteous cause. The present moment inspires every heart which loves its coup try with two of the deepest and noblest of religious sentiments—gratitude and trust. The former, too, is ever the parent of the latter. We cannot withhold our confidence where we feel grateful ; and insensible, indeed, must be the bosom which does not remember with thank fulness at the present time Him who has " fed us with the finest of the wheat." Not only has the extent of land sown for human food been un usually large, and the yield unusually abundant, but the quality is surpaSsingly good. Three such coincidences are rare, and we may add yet a four th —the general goodness of the wheat crop through out Europe and the United States. Indeed there appears to be no deduction from the unusual. bounty of PROVIDENCE this year bat the failure of the Indian corn crop in America, a failure which. will be chiefly felt in the price of animal food in that country. The slight rise in price of wheat lately must not lessen our sense of the boon conferred on us. W e fully believe it is merely the result of the determination of agriculturists not to subwit to low prices just yet —a determination which the agricultural profits of last season enable them to maintain. If this be the case, farmers must sell at last, and we shall only have food 'the lower ultimately for their present holding back. At the worst the fall even now is very great, and nei ther farmers, millers, nor bakers can long stand between us and the full bounties of PROVIDENCE. Let us, then, respond with cheerfulness to the appointment of a Thanksgiving Day. The QUEEN, as head of her own Church, has fixed it for that Church ; other Christian Churches throughout the land will gladly accept it ; indeed, for ourselves, we should be pleased to see iu appointments of this kind a graceful recognition of the facts developed by the religious census ; we mean that, accompanying the QUEEN'S command to those of whose Church she is the acknowledged head, there should be a request to all her subjects of other Christian communions to join in like observances. Such Royal courtesy would befit both the character of our common national faith, and the actual relation of religious communities to the state. It is time now not merely to drop threatening clauses from Royal religious procla mations, but to introduce others indicating that Royalty is interested in the sincere worship of all the denominations it protects. Protestant and Catholic Dissenters outnumber in Britain the worshippers of the State Churches, and their thanksgivings, as equallyacceptable to the.coMmon GoD and SAVIOUR, should be equally sought by all who ask the Nation's religious gratitude. While rejoicing, however, in the bounties of HEAVEN, we are just now specially invited also to trust the uncerta i n future to the hands of the 1-T ALMIGHTY. ot only is an al arm i ng pest il ence reminding us more than comm on ly o f our indi vidual dependence on our MAKER, so that with a bountiful autumn the Angels of Life and of Death seem to have visited our land together ; but, at the moment we write, we are in hourly expectation of tidings respecting the most hopeful expedition we ever sent forth. We see, indeed, no military or naval reasons whatever for a shade o f misgiving ; we feel most frequently as if our brave lads, disembarked in the most skilful manner, would soon carry all before them ; and that the storming of the marauder's stronghold would be very early intelligence. If we h avo a fear, a it i the too great ardou r of the v sl y est liberated and honourably emulous troops should betray them into rashness. What can be impossible. to the highest discipline, combined, with the most eager courage, and armed with the best imple ments of modern warfare ? And then the Right of our cause. Never in history hare England and France fought for more unselfish objects. Lord Rxmorries expedition against Algiers was not more in the interests of European humanity. It is impossible not to believe that the judgment of IlEA.vrrt is on the side of those who sacrifice so much, to check a reckless, and withal a hypocriti cal and blasphemous tyrant—a being who can thank GOD for his butcheries, and pretend religion as an excuse for gratifying ambition and over running his neighbour's peaceful territories. It is difficult to believe that the selfish, profane, and barbarous ambition cf NICHOLAS are not more of fensive to the Supreme Court of 'the Universe than 'even to all honest earthly Courts ; and yet, after all our confidence in our prowess, in our cause, and consequently in the approbation of HEAVEN, we cannot forget that the Right has not always triumphed at first, and that the ablest pre parations and the bravest soldiers may fail before unforeseen obstacles. The very tardiness of our rulers may need its chastisement, and may bring it. Bitter certainly will be the indignation of the whole country should it turn out that they have not allowed time for the only - step which could insure the safety of Turkey. Severely will the wasters of the nation's money and the nation's opportunities be visited with the nation's dis pleasure if the present important attempt prove unsuccessful. Under these circumstances it is with a calm reliance on PROVIDENCE that we await tidings which may quite possibly meet the eyes of our readers at the same time with what we now write. Such Unrighteous Armadas as those of the Athenians, in ancient times, against Syracuse, and of Spain against. England, met the defeat they deserved, boundless as were the hopes with which they sailed, and better-founded hopes have often been disappointed ; taught, therefore, by history and experience, we restrain all boasting ; we remember that we are not omnipotent, but we reasonably hope. much from careful preparations, and religiously hope still more from a righteous cause. COURT CIRCULAR. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mrs. Gladstone arrived in town yesterday from a visit to Sir Walter Jamues, at 13,..tte:lhauger, near Sandwich, Kent. The Earl of CT„rendon left town yesterday, for tie Grove, near Watford, Viscount Palmerston left Broadlands "yesterday, for Shaz;klin, Isle , )f Wight. Despatches were sent yesterday from the Colonial Office to the Governors of Gibraltar and Malta, the L >rd High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, and the Governors of Hong Kong; and Ceylon. THE COURT.—As at present arranged, her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, ac coMpanied by the younger branches of the royal family, and attended by the la4ies and gentlemen of the house hold, will arrive at Windsor Castle on the 6th of next month, for their usual autumnal sojourn. His Excellency Baron (Charles) von Hcchschild, Swedish Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo tentiary at Berlin, has been appointed Swedish repre sentative at the Court of St. James's, in the place of Admiral Virgin, who retires in order to re-enter the naval service of his - country. ' The baron is brother-in law to the Danish Envoy at Vienna. The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk are entertaining company at , Glossop Hall, Derbyshire, where they in tend remaining until early in the ensuing month. The Earl of Clarendon left town yesterday for the Grove, near Watford. Lord and Lady Edward Thynne have arrived at Ach nacarry, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Malines bury, froM the Marquiis of Bath's shooting quarters it Strathconan, Inverness-shire. Lord and L•idy Haddo and family, it is understood, arrived at Malta in hie Highness the Pacha of Egypt's new steam-yacht, which had been placed at his lordship's disposal, from Southampton to Alexandria. The climate of Egypt has been recommended for the improvement of the noble lord's health, which for some time past has been in a very indiflerent state. Mr. and Mrs. Bartoll and the Misses Bartell have left Edward's private hotel, George-street, for Edin burgh.' MARRIAGE IN HIGH Lex2.--The marriage of Lady Mary Knox, the eldest daughter of the Rid and Coun tess of Ranfurly, with John Page Reade, Esq., of Stut ton House, Suffolk, is fixed, we understand, to take place this day at Dungannon Park, county Tyrone. We understand that a marriage is on the tapis, and is expected to be Solemnised on the 28th instant, between the Hon. and Rev. William Lyttelton (brother to Lord Lytteltou, and nephew to Lord Spencer) and Miss Pepys, daughter of the Bishop of Worcester, and cousin to Lord Cuttenhani. THE PERRY DEFENCE FUND.—Already twelve Peers have followed the example so nobly set by the Duke of Marlborough, and become subscribers to the Perry Defence Fund. Of the other house we only perceive three names—Mr. D. Seymour, M.P., Mr. Ouseley Higgins, M.P., and Mr. Gore Langton, M.P. This does not say much for the independent spirit of the House of Commons, nor does it give us much confidence in the result of the discussion which must take place there as to the disgraceful proceedings at Windsor. At the Annual Licensing Meeting of the Magistrates for the Reading Division, the chairman said, "The Bench generally had long been of opinion that there was a sufficiency of public-houses for all wants in this divi- Sion, and they most decidedly objected to granting any more licenses." • SUICIDE BY A LADY'S MAID.—A young woman named Charlotte Challice, in the 'service of Mr. Waller, of Rainsg,ate, committed suicide on Thursday last, by throw ing herself over the cliff near Peelvell Bay. Her neck was broken . by the fall, and death was instantaneous. THE DOWAGER QUEEN OF SPAIN.—It is understood that Beaumont Lodge, formerly the residence of Lord Ash brook, has been taken for the Dowager Queen Christina, as the future residence of herself and youthful family, by her second husband, the Puke de Rianzieres. Yesterday, several truck-loads of furniture, and other valuables, ar rived by the South-Western Railway at Datchet, and were immediately forwarded to Beaumont Lodge, which is now being placed in thorough repair. Beaumont Lodge is delightfully situated near Cooper's Hill, about three miles from Windsor Castle, and was recently weld to a London solicitor, who, in all probability, was eM ployed by the Spanish royal family to make the pur chase. The grandees of Spein cannot leave the place where the Court resides without the royal permission ; and the Espana, says that 20 petitions have been sent in to the major-domo of the Palace by members of that body for leave to go abroad. The bed which the Dake of Bedford, head of the 11119- sell funily, so graciously bestowed on the Church of Rosel, in the canton de. Tilly-sar-Seulles, has been landed at Caen, and is at this moment at Mr. B trrow's, the English consul, from whence it is to lie shortly trails ferred to Rosel. The church of this commune was built by the family of Lord John Russell, and on a recent occasion his lordship's brother and nephew (Lord HaElt ings Russell), when visiting the locality, left with the poor of the parish substantial proofs of their munificentse. AN UNLUCKY SHAVER.—A. hairdresser at Lyons, who was cempromisedin the disturbances of the Croix Rousse, in 1849, left the country, and settled himself at Valpa raiso, from whence his friends had until lately been in the habit of receiving frequent letters. His correspon dence suddenly ceased, and the cause of it was a few days since communicated to them. About two months ago, while engaged in shaving a Maltese sailor, a deg ran into the shop, and, touching his leg, caused him to inflict a slight cut on the chin of his customer, who im mediately drew a pistol from his pocket and killed the barber on the spot. The Maltese was immediately ar rested, and lodged in prison. DEATH OF A SCOTTISH POET. —Walter Watson, the poet of Kirkintilloch, died on the 14th inst., in the 75th year of his age. About the beginni ng of the present century, he appeared before the public a poet, in the songs "Jockie's far Awa'," " Sae will we Yet," and others, which have since then acquired great popularity, Walter was a weaver to trade. In the earlier part of hie life he served in the Scots Grey's. Independent of his merit as one of the best of our minor Scottish poets, he was a good and worthy man, beloved by all who knew him. SELLING A WIFE.—The _Bolton Chronicle narrates a bona fide case of selling a wife to have occurred at Bury. A labouring man named Bradsley suspected his wife of being on too intimate terms with a fellow-labourer named Fletcher. One evening, a fortnight ago, the two men repaired to a tap-room, and there Bradsley agreed to part with his wife to Fletcher for a sovereign ; Fletcher paid down the money, and took the woman home. The affair created such disgust amongst the neighbours that both parties were compelled to leave their residences ; they have also been both dismised from their employment. SOCIETY FOR THE PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL.-- The annual meeting of the venerable Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts will be held in Liverpool next week, and its claims to public support advocated by some of the most distinguished dignitaries of the Church. On Sunday sermons will be preached at many of the churches, and collections made under the authority of the Queen's Letter. At St. Peter's Church the Archbishop of Dublin will preach in the forenoon, and the Bishop of New Zealand will preach at St. Augustine's Church in the forenoon, at St. Nicholas' Church in the afternoon, and at St. John's, Fair field, in the evening ; while the Rev. Rector Camp bell will preach in the forenoon at St. Mary's, Gras sendale. The annual meeting in behalf of the so ciety will be held on Monday evening, at the Col legiate Institution. The Lord Bishop of Chester will preoide on tivi oce - tion, and the ine:ting, will be ad drei,sed by the Arch WI: Dublin, the Bishop of New Zealand, the Earl of liarrowby, the Bishop Designate of Sydney, and others.—Li ver p oo l Standard. LATEST NEWS. THE WAR. DESTRUCTION OF THE BATTERIES OF ODESSA VIENNA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, The Pronden Bladtt states that on the 13th all the strand batteries recently erected at. Odessa were destroyed by part of the allied fleet. BOMBARDMENT OF 'ANAPA. VIENNA, WEDNESDAY. Since the 7th Anapa has been bombarded by the squadron under Admiral Lyons. • The main fleet has sailed to Sebastopol, and on its arrival the Russian fleet, which lay outside, re turned into port. The Presse states that, on the 7th, a Russian steamer landed a detachment of Cossacks at Galatz, who destroyed the magazines of the Danubian Steam Company, and seized the supply of coals. Philippesco, the commander of the Moldavian artillery, has been sent under escort to Russia. This measure has caused general indignation. CAPTURE OP A RUSSIAN EXPRESS STEAMER. The English are said to have captured a Russian express steamer, With important despatches, off Sebastopol. GALATZ, SErr. 13. Fifty Anglo-French ships are off the coast be tween Akermann and Odessa. The *main fleet is still at Serpents Island. The Fury is said to have fallen in with a Russian fleet reconnoitring, 10 German or 43 English miles from Sebastopol, and to hai - e escaped from it with difficulty. VARNA, TUESDAY EVENING. There is not a Russian soldier now either in Wallachia or the Dobrudscha. • Since the 24th of August Prince Menschikoff has been in incessant activity between Perekop and Sebastopol, organising a levy en masse. It is said here that a part of the expeditionary corps of General Baraguay d'Hilliers will leave France in the course of the month of September to reinforce the army in the Black Sea. THE EXPEDITION TO THE CRIMEA. We received the following from Constantinople, this morning. Our letters are dated the 7th. Amongst the desperate means of defence resorted to, it is said that the Russians have undermined all the ground in the vicinity of the outworks, and even at many points on the Chersonese coast, where a landing is thought likely or possible. In the expectation of great sacrifices and severe contests that must attend the attack upon Sebas topol, which is certain to make a most obstinate resistance, the commanders of the expedition have made every arrangement for the wounded, and orders have been sent to Constantinople to keep the hospitals in readiness for the reception of 10,090 men. There is a report that the bay of Eupatoria, is the place chosen for landing; near it is the town of the same name, with 10,000 inhabitants, and it is dis tant 40 miles from Sebastopol. From thence the armies would push . on to Simferopol, the capital of the Crimea, near which an armyof 40,000 Russians is said to be encamped. Though it is well known that a landing in the immediate vicinity of Sebas topol has been strongly opposed in the councils lately held at Varna, I have nevertheless good rea son to believe that it will be carried out, and there fore do not place confidence in the above report of a disembarkation in the bay of Eupatoria. No decisive news from the Cyimea can reach Con stantinople before the end of this month, and con sequently it will be the Bth or 10th of next month before anything is known in England. The landing will, it is estimated, be effected on or about the 11th or 12th—not before. There is a rumour that the Emperor himself is at Sebastopol. Lord Raglan's general order upon the attack on the Crimea is plain, and to the pur pose, without bombast, and with his lordship's usual good taste. It is stated that Brigadier-Ge neral Airey has succeeded General Lord de Ros as Quartermaster-General of the army, General Cod rington taking the commagd of the Ist brigade of the light division. . The troops are to land with three days' provisions ; the men's knapsacks to be left on board ship ; &docks not to be loaded on disembarkation, which is to be carried out in silence. It is very difficult to ascertain the nu merical strength of the expeditionary force, but, at a guess, the English army numbers about 22,000, the French 24,000, and the Turks about 10,000. Then we have the combined fleets to reckon. I hope my next may be written from Sebas topol, telling you that we have succeeded in our trip, even to the satisfaction of the British public. You have all been astonished at the trip of the Vladimir ; but what will you say to the following, if true, but it is commonly talked of :—On the evening of the 31st ult., of the Ist inst., a Russian steamer came to the entrance of this bay, and ac tually sent two of her boats amongst us to recon noitre. This may be a " sham," but I give it to you as I got it. The Vladimir business was voted a sham at first. General LevalHaut, commanding the sth division of the French army, remains in command of all the troops at Varna. Ho will proceed to Sebastopol with the second expedition, which will be composed of 20,000 men,. and 5,000 or 6,000 horses. An Ottoman regiment of Lancers forms part of this expedition. Marshal St. Arnaud and Lord Raglan, accom panied by Sir John Burgoyne and other generals of artillery and engineers, will proceed in front of the fleets to reconnoitre, and choose the spot on the coast best adapted for effecting a landing. The Copirte Zeitung gives the following short sketch of the plan of the expedition. Operations were to begin on the 10th, from the Snake Islands (Ilan Adassi), lying to the east of the mouth of the Danube. Here the transport ships, laden with surplus stores, remain. One division of the fleet blockades Sebastopol. The troops aro to be landed, or rather were, for we may presume this to have been already effected, to the north of the Crimea, probably near Perekop, thus completely cutting off all reinforcements from the interior of Russia. The mail steamers remain stationed en echelon between the Crimea and the Snako Islands. On the 12th a powder magazine exploded at Perakop. There is said to have been great loss of life on the part of the Russians ; two vessels of the Allies were also damaged. on board the Bth Royal Irish Hussars and the 17th Lancers. Lord Cardigan cotnmanding the Light Cavalry Brigade; and his staff, came on board on Friday. The Simla, which had, we hear, a narrow escape of being burnt, came up from Constantinople later in the day ; she takes the 4th Light Dragoons. On Saturday the Columbo arrived from the Bos phorus with the 20th Regiment on board. THE PRINCIPALITIES. The subjoined is the speech which the Ottoman Commissary, Dervish Pacha, addressed to the members of the Administrative Council on the occasion of the Ministerial modification : "Gentlemen,—The occupation by the Russians, while bringing all the evils of an iniquitous war, has arbitrarily overthrown the state of things established in Wallachia, and ever sine° then the country has been deprived of its legal administration. "At present such a situation could not be tolerated without indifference to the benevolent intentions and the sentiments of paternal solicitude of our gracious Sovereign, who has deigned to specially, charge me to watch, above all, over the maintenance of public order and tranquillity. "While waiting, therefore, for the ulterior provisions of his Imperial Majesty, as to that which concerns the restoration of a definitive administration, according to the privileges and immunities of the country, I have deemed it urgent and indispensable to form, in conjunc tion with his Highness the Generalissimo of the Otto man Imperial army, a provisional Administrative Council, composed out 'of your number, gentlemen, aa follows : "The Grand Vornik Constantin Cantacuzene, Pres', dent of the Council and Minister of the Interior. "The Bano Constantin Cheresco, Chief of the Militia, "The Grand Vornik Jean Philippesco, Minister of Finance. Logothete Jean Siatica,no, Minister of Worship , " The Logothete Otdtbtecheano, Comptroller. " The Logothete Jean Philippesco, Secretary of State " The Cloutchar Jean Cantacuzene, Minister of Jus. tice ad interim. " You will appreciate, gentlemen, all the importance of the duties which are thus intrusted to you. " Called on to conduct provisionally the administra tive affairs of the Principality, while conforming to the laws which govern it, you will have to join all your efforts, to- redouble your zeal and activity, so that nothing, in your measures, can exceed the bounds of justice and equity traced out by the spirit and letter of the organic.regulations. " Actuated by feelings of devotedness to the Govern ment of his Imperial Majesty, and by a sincere and legi: mate affection for your country, your duty is to take care that an entire impartiality shall constantly preside over your labours: "By thus fulfilling your mission you will acquire, gentlemen, claims to the gratitude of the country. You gill fully justify all the confidence which you deserve, and you will strengthen in us the conviction of having furnished our share, with big Highness the Generalissimo of the Ottoman Imperial army, to a measure salutary to the country, and one which, until a fresh order from the Sublime Porte, will not render any modification ne cestgary. "In concluding, gentlemen, the communication which I have the honour to submit to you, I think it incum bent on me to especially invite you to comply with readiness mad exactitude to all the orders which you might receive from his Highness the Generalissimo of the Ottoman Imperial army. - "Be pleased, gentlemen, to receive the renewed as surance of my high consideration. . " The Ottoman Imperial Commissary, 4 g DERVISH "Bucharest, 19th (31st), Aug.., 1854." PRINCE GORTSCHAKOFF AND HIS TROOPS. PRESENT TO SADYK PACHA. The President of the Administrative Council of Wallachia, M. Cantacuzene, wrote on the 29th ultimo to Mehomed Sadyk Pacha, the Turkish com mander of Bucharest, to beg his acceptance of a quantity of blue cloth, sufficient to clothe 100 sol .diers, of 300 shirts, '3OO pairs of linen drawers, and 10 saddle-horses, as a testimonfof gratitude for the perfect discipline and order maintained by the regiment of Cossacks of the Sultan, commanded by Sadyk, since their entrance into the city. Mehmed Sadyk Pacha wrote a suitable reply. A letter from Vienna, of the 15th, says General Hess is informed by Omer Pacha of all the move ments of the Turkish troops, and Omer Pacha of those of the Austrians; in fact not the slightest change takes place in the position of the respec tive troops without a previous understanding be tween the two generals. The principal post at Bu charest is occupied alternatively by Austrian, Turkish, and Wallachian troops., The Austrians destined to form the garrison of Giurgevo left for that place on the Bth. Baron Von Hess is shortly expected at Bucharest. The head-quarters of the Turks are about to be removed to Ibraila, which with• Galatz and Fockshani are already occupied by the Turks. The cholera is disappearing from Wallachia. All the roads which lead from the Sereth to the Pruth are filled with Russian troops, artillery, and baggage carts, and it is almost impossible for travellers to proceed along them. The Russians destroy the bridges and roads after passing over them, and send agents from vil lage to village to endeavour to persuade the inha bitants, by brilliant promises, to emigrate with them to Bessarabia. They carry off with them, either after purchase or by violence, oxen and all other live stock. The public treasuries of Mol davia have been emptied. The Austrian troops are to enter Moldavia in the beginning of October." We read in the Debits :-" The following is doubtless the orig in of the reports whi c h h ave b een current relative to a disagreement which has arisen between the Austrian and Turkish authorities in Wallachia. ln the proclamation by which Baron de Hess announced the entrance of the Austrians, it was said that appliCation on every matter must be made to the Austrian authorities. Omer Pacha is said to have remonstrated against this• expres sion, which appeared to him to be an encroachment on the rights of the Sultan. On consulting the German text, it was found that the error arose either from the person who copied it, or from him who translated it into Wallachian. The German text stated that application was- to be made to the Austrian military authorities on all matters relating to the Austrian troops. It would, there• fore, appear that there is no well founded ground for the reports of a misunderstanding." There seems to be now no doubt that the Turks wilt cross the Danube into Bessarabia, somewhere in the neighbourhood of Ismael. According to our last advices from Galatz, between that place and Ibraila a great number of river boats were collect ing, which were to go further down the stream to Isatchka, to be made use of in the passage of the Turkish troops.

"`ezhacl Pasha OMER PACHA'S PRESENT TO THE WALLACHIANS. Omer Pacha has given the Wallachians 6 cannons ;aken from the Russians, instead of those which ,he latter stole when they left. A letter from Jassy, Bth, in the Press of Vienna, sa3 s "It was at first intended that the Russian troops should make a halt of five days in this place, but this arrangement has now been changed, and they will continue their march oa the day following their arrival. About 30,000 men have already ar rived. The district of Bakan has been completely evacuated, and the camp at Mirerstie has been broken up. Numerous columns are marching into Bessarabia, by Berlud and Leova. In a general way the troops which arrive encamp in the neighbourhood, as there is not sufficient accommodation for them in the town. A court-martial has been formed in order to try M. Phile peska, the officer of the Wallachian militia, who was arrested on the occasion of the incorporation of that militia in the Russian army. This court is com posed of a Russian colonel and two Wallachian offi cers devoted to the Russians, and one of whom has just received a gratification of 350 ducats. The order of General Budberg dismissing the Iletman Maurocor dato is founded on that officer being incapable of com manding a militia which had already given proofs of in subordination. Theodoritza Balsch, Minister of Finance, has liecm named provisional Ilettnan. He is a man ge nerally esteemed. It is said that the Austrian troops have been well received in 'Wallachia, but that sufficient measures had not been adopted for their proper accom tnodation. This fact is attributed to the intrigues of a foreign consul who was at Bucharest." (Stein) has been definitively appointed Quartermas ter-General in Anatolia, instead of Kourschid Pasha (Guyon). AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Sept. 16.—The Sebastopol fever is ex cessively violent here, and, as it must be still more so in England, all the intelligence connected with the great expedition which has reached this city will be welcome. It is positively known that the whole fleet had quitted the Bulgariau coast on the morning of the Bth ; and the Copirt. Zeitung's cor respondent has learnt from Galatz that the first division of "the Armada"—a word displeasing to British eyes and ears—had cast anchor near Ilan Adassi (Serpents Island), between the Sulina and Kilia mouths of the Danube, on the ,9th. We are further informed that the fleets will proceed from Serpents Island to the isthmus of Perekop, " which is now almost without troops ;" but this is not likely, although Austrian engineers have often expressed their astonishment that so little notice has been taken of a point which is so vulnerable. No good object could now be attained by attacking Perekop, as the troops intended for the defence of the Crimea must already been in the peninsula, and some weeks must elapse before reinforcements from Kherson and the Upper Taurida can reach Sebastopol. No civilian who saw the expedition start was inclined to doubt that it would be successful. New fieldwork; have been constructed on the heights around Sebastopol, and the Russians in Odessa do not seem to feel any alarm for the fate of that fortress. The troops are hurrying out of Moldavia with such breathless haste, that it is evident reinforce ments are to be sent to the Crimea immediately. Forced marches ' without a single day's rest are ruinous to an army, and, even if the greatest expedition is used, none of the troops now crossing the Pruth can reach the Isthmus of Perekop in less than three weeks or a month. One of the ver sions in circulation relative to the intended operations of the . allies is, that Kherson, a strongly fortified place, with docks for shipbuilding, is to be destroyed, but the person who conceived this idea can have no knowledge whatever of the situation of Kherson. Before the allies could get to the place in question, which is at the em bouchure of the Dniester, they would have to take the fortresses of Otzakoff and Kinburn. The believers and disbelievers in the sincerity of Austria are about equal in number, but if the latter knew what a feVerish lOnginz there is in our official circles for news of the fall of Sebastopol many of them would be cured of their incredulity. My opinion in re spect to the policy of Austria is unchanged. The idea that she is playing "booty" with Russia is positively ridiculous, but that she is most anxious to avoid coming to blows with her neighbour is most certain. A favourite phrase here is ;—" The Western Powers would willingly make a cat's-paw of Austria," but it appears to me that Austria is resolved to take every advantage of the exertions of the allies. As she herself says, she has already secured a ." pledge," and she foresees that if Sebas topol falls she will have nothing to fear from Russia during the winter. On the other hand, if the attack on the great fortress should fail, the Emperor Nicholas will have leisure during the next few months to pay particular attention to the Austrians in Moldavia and Wallachia. It must again be repeated that the Emperor Francis Joseph is not likely to strike the first blow, but, if the Russians should endeavour to recross the Pruth, a war between the two empires is inevitable. To-day the Lloyd has returned to Prussia, and the Zeit, which paper has informed the politicians on the Spree that the Austrian occupation of the Principalities "is not only with the consent of Russia, but also with that of the Porte." It is notorious that Austria never demanded the per mission of Russia to enter Moldavia and Wallachia, " but that her demand for their evacuation was banked by a couple of hundred thousand bayonets." The Vienna journalist, who in this matter probably utters the opinions of persons high in office, ex presses his belief that the success' of the Anglo- French expedition would indpce the Czar to accept the "four conditions." It is, however, considered questionable whether the Western Powers would then be satisfied with• the conditions alluded to. Yesterday the Turkish Minister delivered a hatti scheriff to the Hospodar Stirbey, who resides at Baden. The Sultan orders the Hospodar to return to his post, and Stirbey will leave Austria on the 25tht PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Sept. 17.—1 t has been repeated to satiety that the Western Powers have never urged Prussia to take up arms against the Czar. Such a demand they well knew from the commencement would be fruitless. They have hoped, however, and have had grounds to hope at various periods since the commencement of the Vienna confer ences, that Prussia would exert the full weight of her moral influence in favour of the only means for restoring peace, which is as much in her own interest as in that of the Powers upon whom the whole burdens and risks of war hahe fallen. They hoped that Prussia would, as a great European power, shake herself loose from all external and internal trammels, and treat the mighty question at issue from an elevated and ge neral point of view, and not from that which is cir cumscribed by the narrow horizon of specialities and individualisms. They hoped that Prussia, in lieu of occupying herself with petty German ri valries and questions of precedence, or with con stantly seeking to play quart in tierce with Aus tria, would start from the same goal with her, not only as regarded German interests, equally dear to both, but as regarded the interests of entire Europe. France and England hoped, above all, if Prussia should determine neither to lend her active nor frank and full moral aid, that she would maintain, the strictest and most sincere moral neu trality, as was and is the bounden duty of a State professing rigid impartiality and a desire for peace, and an earnest intention to avoid injury to one party or the other. These hopes have been constantly frustrated, and this in a manner within the last fortnight which must have produced as much pain as sur prise to the Cabinets of Paris and London. The Prussian Correspondence announces that the Russian aaehorities have determined to render all foreigners coming to or residing within the Czar's. dominions liable to the conscription laws, who are not provided with minute attestations of their birth, or absolute and immediate relations as sub jects of foreign States. In consequence of this the Prussian consulate at Warsaw and the home au thorities hate been instructed to provide all bona fide Prussian subjects with the required docu ments. It is to be supposed that the consulates, legations, and home authorities of all other States will be provided with similar instructions. The Breslau Gazette asserts, under the head of Vienna, the 14th, that Lord Westmoreland and M. to Bourqueney have formally announced to the Austrian Cabinet that England And France fully participate in the view taken by Austria of the Russian reply ; and further, that the two Powers have declared themselves to be• placed under the necessity of obtaining a pledge for peace by a mili tary operation in • the Black Sea, before• the ap proach of winter. A. dozen journals assert, under date from Vienna, that the Prussian Cabinet has announced that its policy in regard to Russia will henceforth be in strict conformity with the letter and spirit of the circular of the 3d of September. The Catholic journal Volks-Halle has again been confiscated at Cologne, for an article entitled " Something more relative to the well-known Cir .. ' cula i r (issued' by the Minister of the againt the Clergy." It is rumoured, but probably upon insufficient grounds, that efforts are being made to induce other German Governments to join that of Prussia in excluding the Vienna Lloyd. The Director-General of Police recently requested the editors of newspapers to wait upon him, and, whilst he acknowledged the vast utility of the pub lic press and its influence, urged them, as Prussian patriots, to abstain from publishing articles which Might tend to increase or cause external or internal complications. On this occasion M. de Ilinckeldy, with his usual sagacity, appealed solely to the good feeling and patriotism of the gentlemen present. The New Prussian Gazette of the 16th says : " We learn from a good source that the United States have purchased the principality of Monaco, with the intention of establishing there a naval station." _ _ _ A leGter from Berlin, 16th, says •--" The couvo cation o f the First Chamber on the new bases ap pears to be not only decided on, as was lately an nounced by the New Prussian Gazette, but the period of its meeting has been definitively fixed, and the official journal will shortly publish the documents relative to that meeting." POLAND. The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort has the fol lowing from Posen, dated the 15th :—" Informa ti©n has been received from a good source that the whole of Poland, comprised between the Prussian frontier and Warsaw, is completely deprived of troops, and that on the whole' of the western j frontier only a few Cossacks and veterans are to be seen. The marches and coun termarches which were seen before have DOw completely ceased. Prince Paskiewitdi will not return to the army of the south, of which 11 , 1 had accepted the command in spite of hituseS. He had from the very outset disapproved of the Russian plan of operations, .and pretended that the army ought to have returned on the Pruth as soon as the attitude of Austria became doubtful. It is evident that the Russians have retired from strategical motives. Kiew is to be fortified, and a great number of houses have been already thrown. down for that purpose." RUSSIA. According to reports from St. Petersburg, via Berlin, the following reinfOrcements have been marched off with all possible expedition to the Crimea :—The second brigade, seventeenth division (second division), 6th corps and 6th Rifles, nine battalions ; the first brigade, fourteenth division (second division), sth corps, eight battalions, with the 14th Artillery brigade (4th corps), consisting of four batteries with forty field pieces nominally. It is added that the remainder of the 6th corps, cf which one division is in Asia, and fought near Kars, is ordered to the Crimea, with all the dis posable cavalry from the colonies. The infantry are forwarded as much as possible in waggons. BELGIUM. M. Forgeur, member of the Belgian Senate, was summoned on Friday to wait on the King, and was received by his Majesty at ono o'clock. "If we are well informed," says the Indepew dance of Brussels, " this interview, like that of M. Delfosse, related to the Ministerial crisis." The Emancipation of Brussels says :--cc It must not be concluded from these words of the Lae pendance that M. Forgeur was charged to form a new Cabinet, for the present Ministers had con sented some days back to remain in office. On Saturday, they sat in council from one o'clock till three, and came to an agreement relative to the questions which had sprung up. All the Ministers were present. We can confirm the news which we gave a short time past of the approaching con vocation of the Chambers. The date of October 17 is maintained up to the present time." FRANCE. The Moniteur announces that . the Emperor• left Paris yesterday for Bordeaux, to meet the Em press. He was accompanied by General Espinasse and Colonel Fleury, his aides-de-camp ; and by Baron de Menneval, one of his officiers d'ordon nance.

T_HE REGAL OF THE RUSSIAN AMBO SADO.R FROM VIENNA. The Debits of yesterday, in a very long notice of the recal of the Russian Ambassador, M. de .MoYen dorff, from Vienna, communicates some informa tion, which explains the cause of his recal, and at the same time clears up certain p iuts of the Eastern question which were involved in doubt When M. de Meyendorff arrived at Vienna, at the end of 1850, the remembrance of the services which Russia had rendered to Austria was still fresh, arid altnough the Prince de Schwartzenberg, the Prime Minister, showed a wish more than once to avail himself of the first op portunity of withdrawing Austria from the influence of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, and made use of that remark which has been so often repeated—' The moment is not far distant when Austria will astonish the world by the grandeur of her ingratitude,' the rela tions were friendly because the Minister of the Empe ror Nicholas knew that he could rely on the good will of the Emperor Francis Joseph, and on the co-operation of Prince de Metternich, whose feelings were in general rather unf avoura bl e t o P r i nce d e Sekwartzenberg. The death of thi s m i n i s t er strengthened the credit of M. de Meyendorff, no t on l y b ecause h e h a d no l onger t o de fend himself against a co ns t an t an d a l wa y s d an gerous ill will, but also becaus e h e was connec t e d by a close family alliance to th e new Mi n i s t er o f F ore i gn Affairs, M.. de Meyendorff having married Mlle. de Buol - Schauenstein, sister of the n e w m i n i s te r . No one at that time foresaw the conflict which was soon to break out at Constantinople, and to lead Europe into the com plications of war. As soon as Russia raised the formi dable questions by which the whole of Europe is excited, M. de Meyendorff applied himself to draw the alliance of the three Courts wore close, and to secure at least the neutrality of Austria and Prussia under all possible eventualities. He thought he had succeeded, and he did not hesitate to answer for his success to his sovereign on his own personal guarantee. The Emperor Nicholas asked no more, and in fact that neutrality was sufßcient'for him, because he received a letter from Lon don at the same time, which said that there was no reason for him to feel any uneasiness about an alliance between France and England, as it was an impossibility, and no one would listen to it. About this same time M. de Meyendorff was called to St. Petersburg, the Emperor wishing to have personal communication with him. This was the moment when he was in the highest favour ; and the Emperor testifi e d suc h grea t sa ti s f ac tion and suc h unlimited confidence in him that some alarm was felt for M. de Nesselrode. The old Russian nobility felt irritated, and took part with the old Chancellor. What were the real designs of the Emperor of Russia in 1853 ? That is a point which it would be very important to clear up. M. de Meyendorff certainly knew them, and doubtless he thought so when he wrote to his friends in Paris London, and Berlin—' Ido not pre tend to prophesy, but I think I may say that the general peace of Europe will not last a year, and that before , that time has expired we shall witness great events. M. de Meyendorff returned to Vienna, where he found that great changes had taken place, and he explained himself to Prince de Metternich on the subject. Take care,' said the old chancellor to him; from what I have just heard I understand that your Emperor wishes to proceed to great lengths against Turkey; let him reflect on what he is about, and let him consider that the moment is not opportune for battering that govern ment in breach. Be assured that if he does not let the East remain quiet, the face of things will change throughout all Europe, and I would not answer for any thing.' I regret to tell you,' re phed M. de Meyendorff, that the Emperor FOS things in quite a different light ; and the instructions which he has given to me compel me to press yo u. to take a decisive part.' Well, then,' said M. de :Vletternich, I tell you beforehand that I cannot con scientiously remain silent under such grave circumstance s, and that I shall warn the Emperor my master. Ere will not follow you in the path into which you wish to lead him ; he will not follow you in it because be can not do so, and your sovereign, you may believe me, wi ll , ' iu the end find himself isolated in the midst of Europe. A few days after this conversation, which was muc h talked of at all the Courts of Germany, the Emperor of Austria wrote an autograph letter to the Emperor Nicholas (June, 1853), in which he said, 'that he would leave in his hands all that it was necessary to do at Constantinople ; th a t h e approved of it all before hand, and that he would hold himself in readiness for all.' This was a great triumph for M. de Mer endorff, but it was an ephemeral one, which vlag to be followed by a great fall. In fact, a reserved despatch was soon after received at Berlin and in London, in which M. Buol expressly declared that if the Emperor Nicholas made war ou Turkey, Austria would not second him. M. -de Buol, moreover, in defining and in limiting the neutrality of Austria allowed the case to bs seen at which that neutrality would cease. This was the result of the inspirations of M. de Metternich. Al de Meyendorff had therefore deceived himself, and the error of judgment was shown more and more every day by events ; the mission of Count Orloff gave him the last blow. The object of that mission has been frequently mentioned, but it might have been added that the Rus sian envoy was also charged to make direct and personal representations to the Emperor Francis Joseph as to some of his Ministers, and to advise their removal. The Em peror Nicholas thought he had more particularly to complain of AL de Buol, to whom he attributed some old feelings of resentment, he having filled the functions of Austrian Minister at St. Petersburg. It is stated that in delivering his letters of credence to the Emperor Nicholas he made a speech, in which he used the expreg sion---` sent by his government'—' charged by his go vernment'—=when the Emperor interrupted him rather roughly by saying, Speak of the Emperor, your master, sir; I only know him ; I know nothing of your govern ment.' Count Orloff failed, but he learnt from the mouth of M. de Metternich himself that M. de Meyen dorff had been warned when there was yet time, and that if he had thought proper he could have informed his Emperor, who would not then perhaps have so impru dently involved himself. Nothing more was wanting for the enemies of M. de Meyendorff, and his recall was decided on. Prince Gortschakoff, his successor, belongs to the Russian party : -the German party of St. Peters burg has been vanquished in the person of 31. de Meyendorff." FIRE AT THE BEDDINGTON FLOUR MILLS.—A fire brake out yesterday in the flour mills occupied by Mr. Ashby, known as the Wallington Mills, near Beddington, by which the extensive buildings and an immense quan tity of corn were entirely destroyed. There was an ab sence of fire-engines, or, in all probability, the ravages of the fire might have been stayed. It is a singular fact, that although Croydon is only from two to three miles distant, the West of England an d B r igade engines from London, each drawn by t wo h orses , arr ived at the scene of desolation before that from Croydon reached the ground. They all arrived too late to be of any service, and the premises were wholly destroyed. The loss is said to be very great, but it is partially covered by an insurance in the County Fire Office.
