They have their distinct talents and peculiarities, but, once amalgamated, there is no hound to their pro gress. It will have bets observed that E. MOSES and SON were the first to exhibit the commercial consequences of the unity of France and England. France produced its fancy fabrics for SUM MER ATTIRE, and E. MOSES and SON fashioned them into the most approved costume for that s.a.son, for special or ordinary wear. Thus France has produced for E. MOSES and SON, and they have manufactured for them—having their Fatrons in France as well as all other countries. E. MOSES and SON never overlooked the advantages which the Public derive from the unity of France and England —their present stock of SUMMER ATTIRE is the most sati.ractory illustration which could be attained in HATS, CAPS, FANCY HOSIERY, LADIES' DRESSES. SHAWLS, MANTLES, PARASOLS, &c France and England are represented in the most i ffective manner at E. MOSES and SON'S City and West. end Branch Establishments, and the benefits of the international compact are discerned in the Very economical prices charged for the moat elegant articles of the season. JUVENILE ATTIRE, which E. MOSES and SON have produced for the MIDSUMMER HOLIDAYS, partakes of all these advan tages, and is distinguished for novelty and cheapness, which exceeds all former preparations. The WHOLES ALE DEPARTMENT, which is the largest and most select Stock of SHIRTS, BOOTS, and SHOES, &c., secures the most desirable advantages to Merchants, Captains, Emigrants. or Country Buyers, the articles being much better and considerably cheaper than at any other house. Full LIST, of OUTFITS for Ladies and Gentlemen, with ship. sailing information, may be had on application gratis or post free. C LET lON.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guars putPc against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like od of " Being connected with their Establishment," or 's It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, anu tor obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ♦NY OTHER HorrsE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155. 156, and 157, Minories, 84, 85, and 86, Aidgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

Theessential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, which h' d a have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man premature decay at all stages of Lite, than, perhaps , an y Other clnass of disease known to modern pa th o l o gists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to who entertaining secret doubts of their physical c on di t i on, and are conscious of having hazarded the health ha entitled. PPine3s, and privileges to which every human being is It is absolutely nocess„y that all men should know, that there are principles of personal manai:ement which cannot be violated without Incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and itsconsequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any deg•ree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The A tabor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive Practice in 'he treatment of these delicate complaints, which are unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant etnpirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in ',heir pretensions.

The Algiers, 91, Captain Talbot, passed Portsmouth from Devonport on Sunday night for Cherbourg. ' The Colossus, Captain Robinson, has ceased fitting, having lent her men to help in expediting the St. Vincent, Termagant, and Sphynx for this special service. The latter will be ready this day (Tuesday), and the Termagant, on the 11th. A number of the naval coast volunteers have entered to go out to the Baltic to bring home the Russian prizes taken by her Majesty's cruisers. The following appointments have been made : Captain George A. Eliot (1838), from the St. Vincent, 102, guardship of ordinary at Portsmouth, to command the Powerful, 84, at Portsmouth.

Yesterday the Lords of the Admiralty gave notice at Lloyd's that ships were required to convey 300 tons of ordnance stores, shot, and tilled shells to Malta ; six tons of ordnance stores to St. John's, New Brunswick ; and 72 tons to Cape Coast Castle ; 90 tons of victualling stores to Halifax • eight tons and a half of - victualling, medical, and ordnance stores to Valparaiso, and one officer and 56 men to St. Helena. The latest news from the Black Sea fleet is contained in a letter from BAltschik Bay, dated the 19th tilt., at which date the Britannia, Agamemnon, Albion, Queen, Trafalgar, Rodney, London, Retribution, Apollo, and Banshee were at anchor there. The Caradoc despatch vessel arrived there on the 16th from Varna, Lord Raglan, Colonel Steele, and Colonel Lord Burghersh. Lord Raglan was received with a salute from the Eng lish and French flagships, and left for Varna in the evening, where a large party, consisting . of. 1410 Duke'of Cambridge, General Sir George Browne, &c., met him at dinner on board the Bellerophon.

PRINCE ALBERT. The Pub is is respectfully informed that this Establishment is now placed UNDER E N TIRELY NEW MANAGEMENT, and that alterations and improvements are in progress in all its departments, which It is hoped will render it even more worthy of the support of the public than it has hitherto been. Communications in future should be addressed to J. H. Pepper, Esq., the Resident Director. Their Lordships also gave notice that several steam vessels of not less than 900 tons burden were required to convey troops to the Black Sea. A Southampton correspondent informs us that the Royal Mail steamer Orinoco is being prepared for sea, to take out a regiment of infantry, and the Peninsular and Oriental steam-ships Himalaya and Simla. The former is ordered to embark a regiment of cavalry from Plymouth. The Government has also chartered the General Screw Steam-Shipping Company's steamer Prince, of 2,760 tons, now fitting at Blackwall, for the conveyance of troops. The whole of these steamers are to be got ready without delay. 13 waggons full of musket ball-cartridges (weighing about 60 tons), and other mi litary stores, have arrived at Southampton for shipment to the East. The destination of the troops to be sent out by the Orinoco, Himalaya, Prince, and Simla, is not known, but it is understood the steamers are to proceed direct to Constantinople, there to receive orders as to their final destination, which is supposed to be a port in the Crimea, for the purpose of co-operating with the land and sea forces now in the Black Sea, in a combined attack on Sebastopol. The depots of the 3d (Buffs), at Newry, and the 62d (Wiltshires), in Belfast, have been ordered to send out strong draughts to the service companies of their re spective regiments stationed at Malta with the least possible delay. Mr. Dalyell, Acting-Lieutenant of the Terrible, has been promoted by Vice-Admiral Dundas to the rank of Lieutenant, vice Sir Henry Blackwood, deceased. The Apollo troop and store ship was to leave to Baltschik on the 19th ult., with obsolete stores for Malta. _ . Al! the LECTURES, OPTICAL and other EXHIBITIONS, are continued as usual.

Commander Spratt, of the Spitfire, was employed in surveying Lake Devno, in order to the baggage, &c., of the land forces being forwarded that far in flat-bottomed boats. The Sidon towed the London on the 16th ult. to Baltschik, and returned to Varna in the afternoon with the Vengeance in tow. Lord George Paulet has been giving large dinner parties to the naval and mili tary dignitaries on board the Bellerophon at Varna. The Sanspareil and Sampson are on the coast of Cir cassia. The Highflyer is gone on a secret mission. The Terrible and Furious are reconnoitring off Sebastopol. Admirals Dundas and Lyons and some of the captains of their fleet went from Baltschik to Varna on the 17th to pay their respects to the Duke of Cambridge. The following is a copy of a letter from Sir Charles Napier to Captain H. R. Yelverton, commanding her Majesty's ship Arrogant, enclosing a despatch from the Duke of Newcastle, expressing the Queen's great satisfaction at the gallantry and zeal displayed by the officers and men of her Majesty's ships Arrogant and Hecla at the destruction of the defences of the town of Ekness CANADA. OPENING OF PARLIAMENT. MONTREAL, JUNE 19.—0 n Tuesday last his Ex cellency the Governor-General proceeded in state to the Chamber of the Legislative Council, in the Parliament-buildings, Quebec. The members of the Legislative Council being assembled, his Ex cellency was pleased to command the attendance of the Legislative Assembly, and, that house being present, his Excellency was pleased to open the Second Session of the Fourth Provincial Parlia ment with the following speech : " Honourable Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, and Gentlemen of the Legislative Asssembly, "During the recess the province has sustained, I re gret to say, serious loss by fire, in the destruction of the Houses of Parliament, and of the building which was subsequently secured for the temporary occupation of the legislature. The best arrangements practicable under the circumstances have been made for your ac commodation. DEPARTURE OF THE SCOTS GREYS. The 2d Royal North British Dragoons, or Scots Greys, having been ordered on foreign service, left Nottingham yesterday. The occasion of their departure excited great enthusiasm in the town, and it was calculated that 30,000 persons were present. On reaching the centre of the market-square, they were met by a civic procession from the Exchange, headed by Mr. Reckless, the mayor, and Mr. Mundella, the sheriff, and which consisted of the magistrates, town council, the municipal officers, many of the principal townsmen, and by all the corporation servants in their ancient livery, bearing the mace and other insignia. The mayor's valet carried the "loving cup," presented to the Nottingham corporation by Henry, Duke of Newcastle, in 1631 ; and other attend ants conveyed a plentiful supply of wine wherewith to replenish it. The "Health of her Majesty the Queen having been drank with great enthusiasm, the Mayor, grasping the "loving cup," addressed Colonel Griffiths in energetic terms, telling him that it was the wish of the corporation and people of Nottingham to drink, on the eve of their departure for the East, " Success and prosperity to the noble regiment of Scots Greys." His worship having drunk to his toast, the cup was passed round, and the civilians within the cirole did the same, the band meantime playing "Scots wha ha'e wi' Wallace bled" and other stirring tunes ; the people, who thronged every inch of pavement, every window around, and nearly all the housetops, meanwhile waving flags and handkerchiefs, and unanimously cheering with enthu siasm. Colonel Griffiths, having expressed his anxious desire to return a complimentary toast, was asked to allow his men to partake of a parting cup of " Notting ham ale," which the corporation ordered immediately. He then proposed "The Health of the Mayor, Corpora tion, and every individual_ of the town of ,_Nottingham," which was drunk by the officers from the "loving cup," and by the troops from their cups of ale, with three times-three hearty cheers, and many more. The Rev. S. .I.ll‘All gave a few words of exhortation and a parting► blessing, shortly after which the order to march was given amid hearty cheering. " Her Majesty the Queen, our most gracious Sove reign, having failed in her anxious and protracted en deavours to preserve for her people the blessings of peace, has felt herself called upon by regard for an ally, the in tegrity and independence of whose empire have been re cognised as essential to the peace of Europe, by the sympathies of her people with right against wrong, and by a desire to avert from her dominions most injurious consequences, to t up arms in oonjuction with the Emperor of the French for the defence of the Sultan. " The manifestations of loyalty to the Sovereign and sympathy with the parent state which have been so general throughout the province at this conjuncture, will, I am confident, be heartily responded to by the legislature. The cordial co-operation of England and France m this war is well calculated to call forth the sympathies of the inhabitants (of a country peopled mainly by the descendants of those two powerful em pire,.

Having during my recent visit to England been ho noured by the Qceen's command to endeavour to effect the settlement of various important questions bearing upon the interests of the British North American pro. vinces which had been long pending between the Go vernment of Great Britain and the United States, I pro ceeded to Washington, where, after frank discussion with the authorities of the United States, I was enabled to conclude a treaty which now awaits ratification, upon terms Which-it is my firm conviction - will prne e - ihrtho highest degree advantageous to the colonies generally, as well as to the United States. A measure to give effect to that treaty will be submitted for your approval. " I will communicate to you a de , patch which I have received from the Secretary of. State for the Colonies, with reference to the addresses to the Queen from the two Houses of the Legislature on thesubject of the con stitution of the Legislative Council, transmitted by me at the close of the last session of the provincial parlia ment, in order that they might be laid at the foot of the throne. " I recommend to your consideration the passing of a law for bringing into early operation the act of last session which extends the elective franchise, in order that a constitutional expression of opinion may be ob tained as speedily as possible under the system of repre sentation recently established on the various important questions on which legislation is required. " Gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly, " The public accounts for the past year and the esti mates for the present year will be submitted to you with out delay ; and I rely with confidence on your willing ness to make the necessary provision for the exigencies of the Government.

" The prosperous condition of the revenue may sug gest to you the propriety of making such reduction in the tariff as may be compatible with security to the public creditor, and efficiency in the public service. "Honourable Gentlemen and Gentlemen, Our Malta correspondent in his letter, dated June 2G, says,— " During my sojourn in England, I was much struck by the proofs which I received from all quarters of in creasing interest in Canadian affairs, and I trust that my acquaintance with the province derived from long resi dence within it , may have enabled me to render some service in spreading more widely a knowledge of its re sources and of the feelings of the inhabitants. "Although a state of warfare has a necessary ten dency to restrict operations involving large expenditures of capital, I feel confident that the credit of Canada has attained a position in En g lish opinion wh ich it never before achieved, and that, to enable you to retain it, no thing is requisite but prudence in your undertakings and the maintenance of the high character for fidelity to pecuniary engagements which the province has at all times borne." The house having adjourned, it did not meet until Friday, when the house voted an address echoing the sentiments of his Excellency. The paragraph relating to the war is thus expressed " This house heartily responds to the manifestations of loyalty to her Majesty the Queen our Most Gracious Sovereign, and of sympathy with the parent state, which have been so general throughout the province, at this conjuncture, when her Majesty having failed in her anxious and protracted endeavours to preserve for her people the blessings of peace, has felt herself called upon by regard for an ally, the integrity and independence of whose empire has been recognised as essential to the peace of Europe, by the sympathies of her people with right against wrong, and by a desire to avert from her "The arrival of a French mail-boat from Alexandria enables me to continue the list of arrivals of troops since my last, beyond which there is nothing of the slightest in terest to communicate.

From a report just published by the Montreal Board of Trade, it results that in 1827 the exports from the British American provinces to the United States fell short of half a million dollars ; in 1852 they exceeded six millions. In 1849 the entire exports and imports amounted to eight millions of dollars. In 1852, after an interval of only three years, they had increased in amount to sixteen mil lions. In 1849 the exports and imports from the Canadas alone amounted in round numbers to five millions ; in 1852 they had more than doubled, amounting to eleven millions. In 1849 the quantity of wheat exported to the St a t es f rom th e C ana d as was equivalent to about 25,000 barrels ; in 1852 it amounted to nearly 467,000 barrels. AMSTERDAM AND ROTTERDAM PnonucE.---The weekly reviews from the Amsterdam and Rotterdam produce markets state that business was limited. A slight increase in the demand for coffee had created greater firmness, and for some descriptions higher rates had been paid. Sugar, raw and refined, exhibited little variation. Sales of rice had caused an unfavourable reaction, the state of the weather having been good for the grain crops. Metals were heavy, and but few transactions had taken place in indigo. COMPLETION OF MADAME D'ARBLAY'S DIARY AND LETTERS.— CHEAP EDITION.—The seventh and conclud ing volume of this work is just published. " This volume possesses even more interest than any of the pre ceding. The work stands at the.head of this class of English literature. Wholly different from the Diaries of Evelyn and Pepys, or the Letters of Walpole and Lady Wortley Montague, it possesses, in a high degree, some of their best qualities. The great charm of Madame D'Arblay's Diary and Correspondence is to be traced to their good sense and ingenuousness. The air of a court had not spoiled her natural character. Madame D'Arblay had the good fortune to mix largely with the most dis tinguished persons of her time ; she was admitted to a closer view of the domestic life of the Royal Family than almost anybody else, and her literary reputation drew around her crowds of people celebrated for taste and genius. These circumstances contribute to confer a peculiar value upon the work. ll 7-41tIo. lon to all parts of London , on the arrival of the fol ;h-street Station. DIARY OF THE SIEGE AT SILISTRIA. We make the following extracts from a detailed account of the siege of Silistria : May IG.—At five in the morning the enemy opened fire from his batteries on the islands, and continued to throw shot and shell into the town throughout the day. Casualties, 12 killed ; wounded, no return. The amount of casualties, particularly of the wounded, is exceed ingly difficult to be ascertained, as no return of wounded is made, and the amount of killed is frequently con cealed. The amount of killed and wounded among the townspeople, of course I do not attempt to estimate ; they have remained, however, throughout the siege in vaults of their own construction, where they bad taken refuge on the bombardment commencing. We estimate the tot it force of the enemy on both sides of the river to be about 35,000 men. 17th.—Cannonade commenced at daybreak, and continued throughout the day till about seven p.m. Between 10 and 11 heard smart firing beyond Arab Tabia, and a report circulating in the garrison that a force from Shumla, marching to our relief, is attacking the Russians. Much excitement in consequence. On arriving there I found, however, it proceeded merely from our skirmishers being hotly engaged with those of the enemy ; the former after some time driven in as be fore from want of guns, severely shelled as they retired. The Russians, however, not advancing, they were again sent out. The enemy during this day having obtained the range of the north-east bastion (Tschengel), it be came necessary to place gabions on the top of the parapet to shelter the men from his fire. While this work was going on during the night, a furious fire was opened on it as well as the northern face of the works, and was continued at intervals, answered by our guns, till morn- ing. 18th.—A four-gun battery, erected during last night on the island of Salhane, opposite the Tschengel bastion, opened this morning. The Russian fire throughout the day was very slack, ceasing nearly altogether between ten and twelve. At sunset it increased, and was sharply carried on during the night. The sick were removed from the hospital and put under canvass below the citadel, the former situation not being safe from the enemy's shell. 19th.—The enemy broke ground, opening his first parallel across the Rassova road, at a distance of nearly two miles from the fortress. Its extreme right resting on the river, where a steamer keeps pace with his move ments, supplying materials from the opposite side, the parallel extends along the line of heights next but one to Arab Tabia. Another battery on Salhane was opened for the purpose of silencing Fort Yelanli. An officer who had been sent to Shumla to report the commence ment of the siege returned with Omer Pasha's answer, that we were not to expect any relief for at least fifteen days. The trees to the east of the town were directed to be cut down ; this order, however, like many other Turkish ones, was not carried out. Firing continued throughout the night, some of the shells sent from the enemy's batteries on the opposite side bursting close to the citadel, a distance of fully two miles. 20th.—The enemy commenced his second line of batteries on this side of the Danube. About half-past three a smart affair commenced, and lasted about two or three hours, between our Chasseurs and Albanians and the enemy's riflemen. Butler accompanied the skirmishers, who drove the enemy, nearly double their number, over the hill, into the valley beyond, although his field-pieces kept up a vigorous fire of grape and shell on them the whole time. Butler says that the Russian riflemen worked well, taking admir able advantage of every cover afforded, whence they kept up a brisk fire on our men as they advanced. During the affair a battalion of Egyp tians, who had been thrown out in reserve, were foolishly brought forward by their commanding officer in mistake of which the enemy did not fail to takehusudsy:und tage, directing on them a severe fire from o b v o e t g light troops, till he forced them to retire immediately about While doing so, some shells falling n the battalion caused a slight confusiozinli:Enuitifis urearnkrest,uurnmteild, on Butler's suggestion, the coalman his men, and made them lie down under the brow of the hill. A man who had been found within the enemy's line by some of our skirmisber; nonsptyh,eiran advdance, beiwas , not ng brought in, suspected of being ac count of himself, was ordered able to give a satisfactory into confinement. Cannonl?.lasted the greater part of the night ; not replied to by us. d firing in the direction of Arab Tabia and the ground between it and the river. We hurried up there, and found our skirmishers hard at work in the same position as on the 17th. Two Cireas sians (one of them severely wounded) were brought in as prisoners, and told us that at 2 o'clock a general at tack on the redoubt would take place, a thing which seemed by no means unlikely from the disposition - of the enem y, who had been distributing his forces as if with some view of this nature all the m orn i ng . A t a quarter before 2 o'clock p.m. two large bodies of cavalry were seen advancing against Arab 'Una, while a third body, with infantry, proceeded westward towards the ground in front of the citadel. On the guns of Arab Tabia and Fort Order opening on them, however, they retired, and left us for the day. Cannonade on the town as usual, [PRICE SD. We got up a sweepstakes to name the day on which we shall be relieved, each naming the day he thought most probable. They ranged from the 3d to the 15th of June, Mussa Pasha having chosen the first and his se cretary the last of these dates. Casualties, seven killed. 22d—Enemy's fire slackened in the course of the forenoon, and ceased altogether for about two hours, after which he opened a very heavy fire on the Arab and Yelanli forts from seven batteries at once—practice very good. Demonstrations against these forts con tinued all day. Made out from the Circassian priso ners that Paskiewitsch was commanding, and not the Archduke Constantine as was previously supposed. Casualties, upwards of 50 killed and wounded. 23d.—During the night the enemy threw up a 15- gun battery beyond Arab Tabia, and three additional ones on Salhane. From all these he opened fire on Yelanli and Arab Tabia in the afternoon. 24th— (Queen's birthday)—Received the welcome news from Mussa Pasha that in eight days we might expect to see the English red jackets topping the heights. Nothing particular occurred to-day, and in the evening Butler and I loyally drank her Majesty's health in a mugfull of sour wine. 25th—The quiet the enemy has maintained yester terday and to-day bodes no good. An orderly from Mussa Pasha requested our attendance at his quarters, where he found a council of war assembled to decide on a very important question. In the middle of this a tremen dous hailstorm came on, and the enemy, taking advan tage of, it, commenced an attack, under a furious can nonade, on Arab Tabia. A body of cavalry with guns suddenly appeared in front of it, when, halting at a short distance, from behind each horseman leapt an in fantry soldier ; these formed up, and commenced an ad vance on the redoubt, but being received by a severe fire from its defenders, the cavalry halted, leaving a gun be hind, and the infantry drew out of range, and quietly began to pitch their tents in the valley below. We had hardly returned to our quarters in a little barrack inone of the bastions when the alarm was again given, and drums beat to arms. Scuttling back in the dark, knee deep in mud, and fancying from the sound, which ap peared very close, that the body of the place was attacked, we were suddenly called on to halt by the gruff chal lenge of a sentry demanding the parole. Doubtful of accomplishing the correct pronunciation of a 12- syllabled Turkish word, we answered Inglis Zabit (i.e. English officers), a reply which seemed fully to satisfy the curiosity of the inquirer. Arrived at the rallying point, the Stamboul gate, we found an attack taking place on the forts of Yelanli and Arab Tabus. It lasted upwards of an hour, during which time an uninterrupted flash and roll of musketry proceeded from that direction, while shells were sent blazing through the air in all directions from both our own and the enemy's batteries. By 10 o'clock it was all over, and soon alter a report from each of these forts showed that we had suffered little damage in the affair. Dur ing the day a Turkish officer, who had been made prisoner at Kalafat and afterwards escaped(' rom the Russians, arrived—he states the force opposite to be 100,000 men. Rockets, thrown at Arab Tabia and Ye lanli fort, were used far the first time by the enemy here. 26th.—A few solitary shot and shell only thrown by the enemy this day. He is not idle, however, being employed in fortifying his position, constructing strong breastworks on the Ada Kien heights, as if with the view of awaiting the arrival of the allies. 27th.—The Russians during the night have cleared the neighbourhood of their position of all wood that might afford cover to the riflemen of the allies, showing mueh greater foresight than our friends the Turks. Considerable injury was done to the blockhouse and parapets of Fort Yelanli by the enemy's shot and shell during the cannonade of this forenoon. About sunset the enemy turned his attention to the abovenamed forts, opening a strong fire from his batteries upon them, to gether with rockets during the night. He seenis to have abandoned all idea of the town, fur the present at least, and appears intent on taking Arab Tabia, thereby completing his line and securing a retreat in the event of being defeated. He has now a large redoubt on the Ada Kien hill, and is busy constructing another near the river. On the former he has a sort of observatory, on which some of the Turkish sentries told me they had soon ladies. I suspect what they saw were only some Russian officers in their long greatcoats. 28th.—Awoke about 3 a.m. by a furious cannonade, which last all day. Another council of war on the subject of making a sortie on the enemy's batteries ended in smoke, Mussa Pacha not being able to make up his mind to risk the loss of men that might ensue. A watercourse, which supplied part of the town, and which at the commence ment of the siege had been cut off by the Russians, was again allowed to run by them. About midnight aroused by the report of musketry from Arab Tabia, and on reaching the rampart at the Stamboul-gate found that a second and much more serious attack on that work was going on. The first assault was on the left face, the enemy actually penetrating into the redoubt before they were observed. A Russian officer who led it, and cut down a lieutenant of artillery, was immediately brained by a handspike. A severe and desperate struggle took place, terminating in the repulse of the enemy, who were driven into the ditch, having suffered severely from our grape and canister tearing through them. Re-form ing, they again attempted it in the same place, led gal lantly on with drums beating, but were again driven back with great slaughter. After about a quarter of an hour a thied attack was made, this time on both left and front faces at once, but meeting with the same determined resistance. After a bloody fight the Rus sians were finally beaten off, the Albanians pursuing them into their own batteries. The force in Arab Tabia at the time was only four battalions of Egyptians and 500 Albanians, under the command of Hussein Pasha. The lowest estimate of the numbers with which the enemy attacked is nine battalions, and it is not improbable, from the number of his dead found in and about the fort, that this is considerably under the mark. The affair lasted from midnight tilt after daybreak, and is one of the most brilliant occurrences in the whole course of the siege. Casualties, 68 killed, and 121 wounded, many officers being among the former. The loss of the enemy may be reckoned at 2,000 killed and wounded, although those who removed the bodies deelared there was up wards of this amount in killed alone, which allowing for wounded in the smallest proportion, would bring their loss to upwards of 6,000. 29th.—Went down to the Stamboul-gate, where we saw the arms, accoutrements, &c., of the enemy's slain being re ce i ve d an d registerd. While there a ruffian threw down before Mussa Pasha a pair of ears, which he said he had cut from the head of a Russian officer. He was quite surprised at the Pasha, instead of rewarding him as he had expected, ordering the ears to be buried, and turn ing from him with disgust. Several heads were also brought down, but were not allowed inside the walls. It is to be hoped that this disgraceful mutilation of the dead will be abandoned by the Turks when they come to act in concert with the Allies, it being, moreover, in direct violation of a special firman from the Sultan. In jus, ice to the Turkisli Soldiers, I must state this brute. lity was confined chiefly to the irregulars and towns people, who seemed to take a savage delight in dis figuring the bodies of those with whom the latter had not even been engaged. In the afternoon Butler and I went up to Arab Tabia, where the enemy's conical bul lets were singing through the air in great profusion. Heaps of dead were lying in the ditch and about it. All the former were stripped, and many were headless. The Russian riflemen had apparently done their best to pre vent the mutilation of those outside, as most, if not all, still wore their clothes, although their arms and accoutrements had been brought in. While at Arab Tabia we saw a body of infantry, with cavalry thrown out, which had, as they came in sight in the distance, on the brow of the hill near Medjidie, all the appearance of the advanced guard of a large force. Cries resounded on all sides that the Shumla re lieved army had arrived. Off we galloped, taken in like the rest, to welcome them. It turned out, however, to be merely a clever dodge of Hussein Pasha's to deceive the enemy, and make them suppose that a r einforcement had arrived. It being necessary to relie ve the men at Arab Tabia, who had been there from the commence. .. ame went of the siege, Hussein Pasha adoptedttthheeasbove round-about method of doing so, ca usin time two squadrons of cavalry to accompaug a y his march.' 30th.—A flag of truce,kw_asenesmenyt outaethe :sLisnuo_ssrinainngo,mac companying a party who took the enemy white dead up to h until spoke they his batteries.

Galleries of the mines in the counterscarp of the ditch in front of some of the bastions were finished this afternoon, so that, in the event of the enemy trying an escalade, he will meet with rather a warm reception. Firing was kept up without intermis sion throughout the night, and shells came unpleasantly near our tent. 2d.— At 1 o'clock this day Mussa Pacha, the comman der of the fortress, was mortally wounded in the left side by a piece of shell, which burst near him while sitting outside his quarters at the Stamboul-gate. He lived about 12 minutes after receiving the wound. He had just received intelligence that a messenger was at hand, bearing the Sultan's order of Medjidie of the second class, which had been sent to him, and was waiting for in structions as to whether it was his Excellency's wish to receive the decoration publicly and with the usual ceremony or otherwise. Mussa Pasha replied that it would be better to bring it in quietly, remarking at , the same time that this was no season for pomp and ,"`ie e e. disphty. a eouple of hours der (hid hil rifushit won' interred. He had considerable natural quickness of ap prehension, intelligence, and activity, and was zealous and anxious to discharge his duties faithfully, added which he was a kind, good-hearted man, beloved by his dependents. His death is a great loss. Hussein Pasha, who had been in charge of the force at Arab Tabia, now assumed the command of the fortress, ond was succeeded by Colonel Latif Bey. The surmise of yesterday regard ing the Russians having sunk a mine under Arab Tabia was confirmed by his springing it about 6 p.m. It was, however, so mismanaged that in place of destroyin g the bastion the explosion was carried backwards into their own batteries, doing considerable injury to the storming party, who were there all ready to rush in. 5,000 Bashi-Bazouks, under the command of our old Bazard schik acquaintance, Mehemet Pasha, arrived. Nothing beyond the usual cannonade occurred during the night. JUNE 10.-----This morning we had another attack on Arab Tabia, in which the enemy was repulsed, with great loss. Our loss is about 100 killed and wounded. AUSTRIAN DUPLICITY. " Russia will resist to the last man and the last rouble." So runs the reported reply of the Czar to the Austrian demand for the evacuation of the Principalities• The fudge about an immediate retreat "out of high con sideration to Austria " is now, therefore, fully exposed for a Stock-Jobbing trick. With Austrians in Walla chia, it is less likely than ever that Russia should with draw beyond the Pruth. Why should she fly before the face of so old an ally and so peculiar a friend as Francis Joseph ? Nothing that has occurred since the commencement of the war seems more strange than the present state of doubt and difference in the English mind about the Ala* , trian alliance. We do not want to prophesy, or to se* anybody else prophesying, about future turns in the pro gress of the war, or issues of international relations. We have the past for our guidance ; and in forming ,opinions and wishes about the Austrian alliance, a due regard to the past would assuredly preclude a large pro portion of the difference of opinion about what Austria will do, and what we should wish her to do, which must be rathe r consoling to the Czar, if he has time to attend to it, and not a little amusing to the German stately who must be wondering whether we have eyes in our heads, or are labouring under a loss of memory, that we can be in doubt about what is so clear to everybody out of England whose opinion is of any value. We must re member that what is consoling to the Czar and amusing to the German courts must be highly exasperating to certain people with whom we have more sympathy— , certain Poles, Hungarians, and Italians, who have some interest in the question what Austria can and will do. For their sakes, and that of the Turks, and for our own, we are bound to rouse our faculties on this most vital of all questions. We must not go on playing with our respective imaginings on the matter, and passing the time in speculations ; but we must consider and decide, by the evidence of the case, whether it is possible first, and then desirable, for Austria to be our ally ; and, on the other hand, whether it is possible or desirable for Austria to be neutral. The Times did some real service last week in rousing us to this duty by its preposterous proposal that a great portion of our Baltic fleet should be sent to the Black Sea. If you ask a clodpole where his heart is, he will look at himself all over ; and if you tell him his heart is in his right foot he will not dispute the information. The Times is pleased to try the same sort of experiment with the British nation. It tells them that Sebastopol is the heart of the Russian empire. But the nation had a preconceived notion that St. Petersburg was more like the thing ; and, as the sword is actually pointed there, we are not disposed to drop its point, and aim solely at its right foot. Even the simplest newspaper readers,!who are apt to believe everything they see in print, are startled by such a moral to a pathetic sermon against impatience with our Baltic Admirals. Others, who see a little further, are not sorry that so open a sign is given of solicit ude for both Russian and Austrian inte rests. Of course it would delight the Czar that we should withdraw our best ships from the Baltic; but it would be equally gratifying to Austria that the central scene of the war should be one in which she should be the most important party, as the one whose decision might be ex pected to turn the scale. It ,would not suit Austria at all that we should make the breach in the Russian for- tress of despotism through the Baltic. We should, of course, secure to Germany the freedom of the Danube just the same, whether we walk in upon the tyrant from the west or from the south ; but the objects which Austria has even more deeply at heart could not prosper if Napier and Plumridge should get the start of Dundas and Raglan, and bring the Czar to a parley, altogether independently o f A us t r i an intervention. * We owe it to the rashness of the Tines that people are at last hasten ing to the right point of view of the whole question, and making a few significant inquiries of each other. For instance :—What made the Czar rely so inso lently, as we know be did, in his conversations with Sir G. H. Seymour, on the co-operation of Austria is his schemes ? There must have been some reason. What was it ? What but this ;—that Austria had been the steady coadjutor of Russia against the Porte, as Russia was the coadjutor of Austria against the Hunga rians. The Czar was justified in his expectations from the young Emperor by precedent, and by his claim on the gratitude of the House of Hapsburg. He had up held and preserved that dynasty ; and when, moreover, it was notoriously true that Austria had thus far been his virtual ally against the Turks, the Czar was surely altogether reasonable in reckoning on the continuance of that virtual alliance. The most superficial observer of the Montenegrin affair could no more doubt than Nicholas himself that the Romanoffs and Hapsburgers were in the same boat, and pulling together. The fact being so, what sort of foe can Austria possibly be to the Czar? How hard will the fighting bet Of course it will be much like the desperate-looking wrestling that may be seen in Arab cities, where the combatants make fierce grimaces and gestures, but are seen by those who are near enough, to be so thoroughly greased that neither can get a good gripe of the other, and, more over, to smile covertly and betray a secret under standing. We need not ask what, in this case, would be the value of Austria as a nominal ally. And supposing the time to have arrived for that 'rank ingratitude which Prince Schwartzenburg declared would become necessary, should we like Austria any better for an ally ? Character is of some importance informing a politi ca l as we ll as a commerc i a l p ar t ner . ship : and what testimonials to character can be brought by a power which has treated a benefactor and former partner as Austria will then have treated the Czar ? Who will venture to ask the Porte to sign articles with a power which has steadily reinforced Russia for a long course of years, and now b eg i ns th e pre t en d e d a lliance with the Sultan by occupying his Danubian Provinces as the successor of the Czar ? The case ought to be clear to all rational men. Austria cannot be sincerely the enemy of Russia without being guilty of such tergiver sation, treachery, and ingratitude, as should exclude her from participation in any honourable cause. The case standing thus, the news given by the Times, presently proved false, that the Czar would evacuate the principa lities out of deference to Austria, would, if true, have been only another instance of collusion. But the collu sion would have been too clear to allow the pretended news to be true. Looking at the relations of the two Emperors from every point of view, the co nduct of Austria must evince either deception towards th e alli es, or treachery to the Czar, and the precious alternative may be left to the choice of all observers. There is no need to waste time on this q uestion, now that- But, say some, why should not Austr ia be neutral I Austria has shown that she does not mean to b . e neutrsl pass for a neutral act. She may ende . ur to trini Nothing can make her occupation of th a e v p o rincialities . By keeping the Allies out of the frontier p rov i nces , against her ; but she can no longer observe a genum . e neutrality. she may hope to bribe the Czar not to take Hungariansad vantage marching her armies hope to secure the upon and, by yh th e ofR speaking t u h s e s.i hatred thetfrontier,r e d A ol Allies the fsahi er,may aid of France in keeping her foot upon the neck of Lom bardy ; but she has not within her own borders the unity and peace which are indispensable to a state of Austria is the Logan-stone of genuineEper n eutrality, and people actually look to it for uro structure equilibrium at a season when all the winds of heaven are rushing into uproar. The touch of a finger tip on this side or on t h at sets it rocking ; and yet we are required to trust t o it s b e i ng as steady as the rocks around it which are roo t e d i n th e d ep th s o f th e ear th and sea. If we had to choose, we should say—let it rock. Its oscillation is circumscribed ; and it can exceed that oscillation only by a total fall. That fall we sc., knowledge to be th e i ssue we an ti c i pa t e —i n th e event of either peace or continued war. If Austria leans to Russia in war, Lombardy breaks away, and down she goes on that side. If she leans to the allies, the Czar will not only conquer but win Hungary from her ; and then she goes down on that side. Whenever peace comes, she will in the one case be punished by the allies, and more than ever subjected to Russia ; and in the other case, she must quit her grasp of Hungary and release it, as a measure of self-defence against Russia. Believ ing that she will never bring herself to do this, we anti cipate her humiliation as one of the European powers. She cannot be more grievously humbled by any future adversity than she already is by her double•clealing, her despotic tendencies, her cruelty, her ignorance of the principles and laws of national welfare, her insolvency' and want of internal unity, mutual trust, and national spirit. Thus regarding her state and position, we de precate an active alliance with her—all alliance which can affect our action in regard to Russ ia. We do not doubt being able to deal with her if she should Foy!) an enemy. It she declares herself neutral (for which, now. ever, it is now too late) we shall, .if we are up to our duty, take care that she does not intercept the aims of the war. And if she persists in claimin g to be our all y , we may easily permit her to call herself what she p leae eti after a clear declaration o n our p art that we shall pins sue our own objects in our own way, and shall not lift a finger to help her in any trouble that may come upon her, in any critical hour, from her own nominal subjects, who may be expected t o seek their retribution precisely in the crisis of her need. —Daily News.
