The peculiarity of the war undertaken against Russia by France and England is, that it is not a war of conquest, but a war for the prevention of conquest. It is not a dynastic war, or a war of selfish ambition, but a defensive war, a war for the punishment of cruelty, for the repression of barbarism, for the avenging of civilised society outraged by that blind and savage fanaticism whose crimes are calculated to produce nothing less terrible than a profanation of the unsullied benifi cence of Christianity. It must not be forgotten that it was in the name of Christianity that the CZAR first adventured upon that outrageous in cursion into the Principalities, which has already caused such deplorable bloodshed, and has termi nated a Peace of nearly forty years' duration by one of the most atrocious and unjustifiable con flicts ever provoked by one man's" insatiable greed • of dominion. Not only was this the case, but the Proclamation through which the AUTOCRAT first announced the real criminality of his intentions to the rest of Europe was closed by a verse from the ROYAL PSALMIST, by which the aid of GOD was invoked upon a cause com bining in itself injustice, duplicity, and barbarism ! In conformity with all which the first atrocity of any note perpetrated in furtherance of this same infamous cause was celebrated, it will be remem bered, from the Emperor NICHOLAS downwards, throughout the chief cities of Russia by a solemn .re Deum chaunted to HEAVEN in the " orthodox" cathedrals. In taking up arms against the Russians, therefore, England and France are undertaking to wreak vengeance not only upon a flagrant wrong-doer, but also upon a notorious blasphemer. The triumph of the Allies over the ll'orthern. AUTOCRAT Will not only be a victory won in the interests of civilisation but in the .nobler and holier interests of our common -Christianity. Fortunately for the Allies of Tarkey, they have only, now, to follow up the 'successes already obtained by the soldiers of the SULTAN over the forces of the A UTOCRAT. For all that and France h ave d one to prevent them, England , t the Rus sians might l ong ago, b ut for the gallantry_ Turks, have pas se d not only the PrunthrY of the and th e Danube, but the more formidable line Balkan mountains. Th ey m i ght have app s the successively before Adria no pl e and Constantinopl e —or they might have advanced along the se a _ . board by Varna to the coveted palaces of the Commander of the Faithful, on the Bospho rus As it is, the .pride of the CZA R has been laid l ow by the valour of the Turks and the gallantry of their commanders, by the genius of OMER PACHA and the glorious constancy of the defend ers of Silistria, without the aid of the Anglo-French 'contingent. So that when the troops of Lord RAGLAN and of Marshal ST. ARNAUD at last reach 'the Ottoman head-quarters, they find the Russian invaders already iu full retreat upon the left of the Danube, through Bucharest in the direction Of' Moldavia. So that, in fact, the CZAR, after ail his boasting and all his blasphemies, might say in the words of TERENCE, and with a twofold si gnificance----" Ita me Dii ament ast übi sim n1 ° 1 " And thi s whether in regard to Europe 'n • regard to Asia : for if OMER PACHA has been successful o n th e D anu b e , S CH AMYL has no less his arms brilliantly triu mph an tl y proved th e m i g ht and glory of him, the phantly the Caucasus. As God 'shall j u d ge he i s at this rnoment__ CZA ß can scarcely tell where whether, that is to say, his forctS are any longer in of eircass h ia is , oarrmofiesthme ravagedession of the fortresses WhetherPrin cipali ties— ay not have to be with the not only beyond the Seretb but beyond the Pruth, and beyond the Dniester, and beyond the Bug, and the natural and re boundarY of Russia a 6 that part of her dominions —beyond the Dnieper ! It must come to that ultimately. Upon the boundary line of the Dnieper for Russia (as it was in 1689 on the accession of PETER the GREAT ), so to speak, there trembles in the balance the dread alternative threatened for Europe by the , prophecy - Of the Great NAPOLEON— the alternative of its being overrun by the Cossacks, or liberated by the genius of De mocracy. Drive back the Russians beyond the Dnieper, and, with the help of GOD, the liberation and the peace of Europe are assured —not only the tranquillity and freedom of Europe, but the continued progress of the great nations already far advanced in the march of civilisation ! The Guardians of the Public Purse are, it ap pears, to make further provision for " the ex penses of the war." They cannot be allowed to separate for the long vacation until they have ac cepted another " little bill " in addition to those which they have already so liberally met. The amount, or, as Mr. MANTALINI might term it, " the dimm'd total," is as yet unknown, but full satisfaction will, of course, be given on that point before the new " Vote of Credit " is de manded. We believe that we speak the all but unani mous opinion of the English People in stating, that everything necessary for the vigorous and energetic conduct of the war, for achieving results so decisive as to insure a permanent and honour able peace will be freely and willingly granted, JOHN BULL, at all times a generous paymaster, is peculiarly liberal during the continuance of hostilities, and it is more than hinted that Ministers are by no means unwilling to take ad vantage of that disposition, and to increase their demands even in matters wholly unconnected with these stirring events. But, notwithstanding this profuse liberality, which some people might feel inclined to stigma tise as " wanton extravagance," there is a general disinclination to render Ministers independent of Parliament, or to confide the exclusive manage ment of affairs to the " Excellent ABERDEEN" and his colleagues for fully six months, during which time they would be exempted from the supervision and control of both Houses. Three months' money in hand would surely be quite sufficient for every purpose that could reasonably be required ; and if any peculiar exigency, any unforeseen emergency should arise, it would be far better that they should be compelled to arouse the representatives of the people, and to obtain their approval of the course that had been taken, and which it was intended to pursue. We would, therefore, entreat Honour able Gentlemen not to forget prudence and dis cretion in the excess of their generosity ; but, at the same time, to protect the pockets of over burdened taxpayers, and insure for themselves the influence and directing power to which they are constitutionally and judiciously entitled. With this view they should strictly scrutinise and maturely consider the votes they are required to sanction, and refuse to tie themselves to the chariot wheels of any Ministry, however strongly entitled to support and confidence. There is another point on which they should require full and explicit information. The Ministerial Leader, in making the announcement above referred to, declared that " there would be no occasion for a Committee of Ways and Means ;" adding that "the vote would be proposed in a Com mittee of the whole House in Supply." From this, it seems that all now asked for is authority to expend money, leaving to a future day the task of providing the means of liquidating that outlay. There is, however, a very serious objection to such a proceeding. A prudent man will not in cur a heavy liability until he has, in the first in stance, ascertained the mode of liquidation. He will not leave to chance a question of such vital importance to his credit and solvency. How, then, are the funds to be raised for the purpose of meeting this new demand 7 It can scarcely be by the imposition of new burdens—by heaping all the charges on the present generation—and alto gether exonerating " posterity" from any portion of the charges undertaken on their account. Al ready more than ten millions of pounds sterling have been cast upon the people, according to the estimate of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and we believe that nearer to twelve than to ten mil lions will be collected under the increased imposts. It was very distinctly and unequivocally announced that one, at least, of the objects for which these enormous sums were to be levied, was to disgust the community with the war, and induce them to accept any terms that might be offered. Mr. GLADSTONE emphatically declared that " the ne cessity of meeting, year by year, the expenditure which war entails, is a salutary and wholesome check. It makes men feel what they are about, and prompts them to measure the benefit they anticipate with the cost of obtaining it ! " The Right Honourable Gentlepian may very probably be still influenced by this reasoning—may not deem that the curb is even yet sufficiently severe to restrain the warlike ardour and chivalrous enthusiasm of the British nation. He may, there fore, be desirous of enacting new, or enhancing old, imposts, so as to make the whole of the addi tional expenditure be collected within the year. He may not next February entertain the same objections to the reimposition of the recently repealed duties, the alteration of the rate of postage, or to meddling with the taxes on tea or tobacco. He may possibly think that the In come Tax screw will bear another turn, and that, as he has already significantly hinted, the six may be increased to ten per cent., and that, with out any attempt to equalise or render more equitable and less oppressive the iniquitous im post. All or any of these courses are open to the Financial Minister, and if the expenditure be sanc tioned without a clear and express understanding as to the mode by which it may be liquidated, he will be enabled to taunt the House, in his accus tomed manner, with being " quite willing to di rect the outlay, but not to pay for it afterwards." Let those, then, who object to an unmodified In come Tax at the rate of ten per cent., who do not want to see the re-enactment of the repealed duties, or the retrograde movement in the path of free trade, insist on knowing full particulars and details on every point, and refuse to vote a credit of a single shilling until they are clearly informed as to the mode in which the money is to be provided. Let them not be contented with a Committee of Supply unless there also be one of Ways and Means, an-ii a New Bud get opened by the Financia I Minister. THE SULINA AFFAIR. The following has been received at the Admi ralty to-day PROCEEDINGS OF THE FIREBRAND OFF _ - THE DANUBE. for the information o Sirs —I be to g acquaint you, that Cap- Britannia, off Baljik, the Lords Commissioners of the Admira ty, fain Parker, of the Firebrand, Ist July, 18 . 54. f on the night of the 26-27th J une, nearly surprised the Cossack Guard at the e n t rance of the Danube, but only succeeded in securing the Cossack officer in command, whom I have sent to General Lord Raglan. 2- On the 28th and 29th, assisted by the Fury, he completely destroyed the strong and well-built batteries at the Sulina. The lighthouse, the private houses, and the quarantine establishment, were untouched, but the fear of damaging them by the use of p Avder and fire, rendered the work of destruction of the batteries very severe and heavy to the crews of the Firebrand and Fury. 3: Lieutenant Jull, of the Royal Marine Artillery, vas wounded in the head by a ball, but remains in com mand of his men, and the arrangements made by Captain Parker have again prevented any loss on our aide. 4. Captain Parker speaks highly of the conduct of Lieut. Jones on these occasions, as well as on those when the cavalry posts were lately destroyed to the north of the Danube.—l have, &c., (Signed) J.

Brandt, w ho possesses a fine tenor organ, and has been profitably studying here for some time under the best masters. He wa s last week heard," says our Paris 2ontemporary, " by several of our leading connoisseurs, and their suffrages in I its favour were unanimous." C ialignani also remarks, in the same number, that "M lie. Rachel is not expected to make her rentree at the Fral 'cads before the month of September." Y MA RKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY. TWO o'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 8,000 bales, including 1,500 American taken for export and on speculation. The market closed he*vily, but prices were but little changed. The sales comprised about 7,000 American, 450 Pernam and Marauham at sid. to 7id., 40 Bahia at 6d., 400 Egyptian at 6d. to 9d., and 500 Surat at aid. to 41,d. per lb. Railway Shares were flat. _ _ . The Australian letters per Golden Age report unfavourably of commercial affairs, owing -to the excessive supplies. The gold production, though still large, was scarcely equal to what it was early in 1853. Accounts from Prince Edward Island state that Mr. Dominick Daly, the new Governor, had been received by the colonists with the highest demon strations of respect, and was likely to be very popular. The elections were in favour of the Liberal party. At the meeting of the Commercial Bank of Lon don just held, a very favourable report has been presented and unanimously adopted. The follow ing are extracts :-- "The directors have the satisfaction of presenting to the shareholders the fourteenth annual balance sheet, from which it will appear that, after paying all expenses, and making provision for bad and doubtful debts, the net profits of the bank amount to 36,9501. Os. 11d. "A dividend, at the rate of 61. per cent. per annum for the half-year ending 31st Dec., 1853, has been al ready paid, and the directors have now to declare a divi dend for the half-year ending 30th June, 1854, at the same rate, with a bonus of 16s. per share—both divi dend and bonus free from income tax. "After paying this dividend and bonus, there will re main a balance of 1,4451. 9s. 3d. to be carried to the re serve fund, increasing that fund to 64,0121. Os. 11d." The half-yearly meeting of the St. Katharine Dock Company was held this morning, and a divi dend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum has been declared. The report states " The accounts of receipts and expenditure of the com pany for the half-year ended the 30th June last have been accessible, since the 10th inst., for inspection by proprietors, in accordance with the advertisement call ing the present meeting, and copies of the same are now on the table ; they show the results of the business of the past six months to be as follows :—Gross earnings, 158,4271. 9s. 10d. ; expenditure, including interest, 95,6191. 11s. Bd. ; net earnings, 62,8071. 18s. 2d. " This sum, with the balance of 53,6941. 15s. brought forward at the commencement of this year, after payment of the dividend declared in January last, gives a present available balance of 116,5021. 13s. 2d., out of which the directors recommend that a dividend be now declared at the rate of 2 per cent. upon the capital stock of the company for the half-year ended the 30th June last, and that the same be paid free of income tax. " Should this recommendation be adopted by the meeting, the dividend payable will amount to 38,7961., and leave a balance to be carried forward of 77,7061. 13s. 2d." The English Stock Alarket has been very de pressed upon the announcement of Lord John Russell that he should have to ask the House of Commons, next week, for a considerable sum of money to carry on the war. It is expected that general authority, under a vote of credit, will be taken to raise whatever may be required, since many doubt whether the Ministry can yet state what is likely to be wanted. Opinions, however, are greatly divided, some parties considering that a proposition will be made to subsidise Turkey, while others consider that a preferable course will be to guarantee the interest upon any private loan which the Ottoman Porte may require. In our view, Government intends simply to attend to its own wants as regards the actual vote to be taken, although it may guarantee a Turkish loan, and the point of most interest is to ascertain how the finan cial requirements of Mr. Gladstone can be met. It is not thought in the City that the market will bear a further issue of Exchequer Bonds above the amount already authorised, - and there remain two or three other plans that may be adopted. A direct loan, a creation of terminable annuities, or an issue of Exchequer Bills. At an increased interest, it is probable there might be a further amount of unfunded debt floated, but much depends on the sum required. Consols decli ned yesterday after the official hours of business to 92i 1, what was stated at the Downing Street meet ing having transpired, and this morning they opened at 91a fell to 91i g, and have since rallied to 911 and 92. There is a fuller supply of stock, and is loaned very readily till August. Bank Stock is firm at 209 to 211. India Stock' is 225 to 226. Exchequer Bills keep at par to 3s. premium, rather a significant proof of opinion in the Stock Exchange as to the investment least liable to fluctuation just now. There has been a slight increase of business in the Foreign market, but prices have not yet improved. Mexican are rather lower, and Spanish have been heavy on account of the important news received as to the spread of the insurrection. The prices of Mexican have been 24 to s 5, and Of the Spanish New Deferred 181. Portuguese 4 per Cents. have been done at 39 without the dividend. Dutch 21 per Cents. have been 59g, and the 4 per Cents. Oul. Sardinian Bonds have been at 851,, Bra zilian Old Stock has been quoted at par. The following aro the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 to 61 ; Mexi can, 241 to 241 ; Peruvian, 66 to 68 ; ditto Three per Cents. 50 to 52 ; Portuguese Four per Cents. 39 to 41 ; Russian Five per Cents. 97 to 99 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents. 82 to 84 ; Spanish New Deferred, 18k to 181 ; ditto Three per Cents. 361 to 371 ; ditto Certificates, 31 to 4f ; ditto Passive, 31 to 41. Railway Shares are lower, and in most instances to the extent of fully 1 per cent. This decline has occurred in North-Western, Caledonian, Great Western, and South-Eastern. Great Northern were 30s. lower, but have just rallied again. In French Shares there has been nothing doing. The Mining Market is merely nominal. In the Joint Stock Bank Shares only one or two bargains are recorded. The Shares of the Australian Land Companies have been inactive, and Crystal Palace are lower.

Grand jurors may be sum moned for only four sessions of the Central Criminal Court in a year. There is an alteration as to the time the Act shall take effect—it is now fixed for the Ist September. THE NEW ACT TO COMPEL THE ATTENDANCE OF WIT NESSES.—The new act to enable the courts of law in England, Ireland, and Scotland to issue process to com pel the attendance of witnesses out of their jurisdiction, and to give effect to the service of such process in any part of the United Kingdom, has been printed. The act came into operation on receiving the royal assent on Mon,lay. .

THE SUN, LONDON, TursnAv EVENING, JULY 1A 1884, LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. THE WAR. LATEST FROM VIENNA. The following is from the Times correspondent at Vienna, dated yesterday evening : The P resse states that Omer Pasha gives his own loss at Giurgevo, on the 7th and Bth, at 1,700 killed-and wounded. The Russians at Frateschti are already 70,000 strong, with artillery in proportion, and are re ceiving continual reinforcements. The whole garrison of Braila is marching to Bu charest. The Russian troops are returning from Moldavia into Wallachia. The Russians are cutting down all the crops of wheat in Wallachia. The Servian Government has given perfectly satisfactory assurances to Austria. BLOCKADE OF THE BLACK SEA. The Moniteur of this day (Tuesday) announces that the Russian ports of the Black Sea, and also that of Azoff, will he blockaded, at a date to be afterwards fixed upon. THE BLACK SEA. We find the following in the Moniteitr of yester day :—On the 2d of July the squadron commanded by Vice-Admiral Bruat joined that of Vice-Admi ral Hamelin, in the roads of Baltschik. In the voyage from Gallipoli to Varna the squadron of Admiral Bruat carried 9,000 men of the 4th divi sion of the army of the East, who in one single day were disembarked under the walls of Varna. The rapidity with which this movement of the troops and the analogous operations were accomplished by the different vessels of the Imperial navy, and the ready assistance which the army has in all cases re ceived. from the marine, has inspired the marshal commanding in Chief the army of the East to issue the following order of the day : 4 ‘ GENERAL ORDER. " VARNA, July 1, 1854. "Soldiers—ln order to approach the enemy, you have, in a few days, put 100 additional leagues between you and France. Since you have quitted your country, your activity and your energy have been at the height of the difficulties which you have had to overcome ; but you should not have vanquished them without the devoted assistance offered to you by the Imperial marine. "The admirals, officers, and sailors of our ports and fleets have devoted themselves to the painful mission of transporting your columns across the sea. You have seen them devoting themselves to the hardest labour, in order to realise the operations of embarkation and dis embarkation, so often repeated, and we can say that they have disputed among themselves the honour of has tening the march of our eagles. " A witness to that loyal confraternity of the two armies, I am glad to seize the opportunity which offers of rendering homage to it, and I will go to-morrow to carry solemnly to the fleets of Admirals Hamelin and Bruat thanks, in which I am willing to associate each of you, and which will be addressed to the whole of the Imperial marine. " A. DE ST. ARNAUD, the Marshal of France Com manding-in-Chief the Army of the East." THE WHITE SEA SQUADRON. Captain Ommanney and the White Sea squadron —Eurydice, 26; Miranda, 17, screw, Capt. Lyons; and Brisk, 15, screw, Commander Seymour—have been heard of. The English and French ships were at Vardehorns about a month since. THE DANUBE. Despatches from' Orsova state that Mehemet Pacba defeated the Russian brigade at Czernawoda, in the Dobrudscha, on the Bth, after five hours' hard fighting, and took possession of the place. Nine thousand men of the fourth division of the French army of the East arrived at Varna on the 2d inst., and disembarked. The death of Captain Butler, one of the English defenders of Silistria, is confirmed by letters from the Danube. His remains were buried in a Chris tian cemetery not far from the fortress. STATE OF BUCHAREST. According to letters from Bucharest of the 10th, the state of public feeling in that city was one of indescribable alarm and confusion. No one there doubted that Wallachia was about to be purged of the Muscovites, but it was feared that the town might be laid in ashes in the meanwhile. Russian couriers were riding to and fro ; battalions were driven through on forced marches, and all kinds of rumours were in circulation. The wounded Rus sians, of whom 150 waggon loads had been con veyed to Bucharest, had increased the general anxiety by their dismal accounts of the state of things at Giurgevo. The Lloyd, under date of Bucharest, 6th, says : —" Great alarm prevails in this place. General Budberg this morning ordered all the keepers of the archives of the Wallachian ministries to make up Their documents in packages, ready for immediate removal. A picket of Cossac!is is placed before each building containing the archives, and every employe on leaving the office is closely searched, in order that uo document may be removed. This singular measure can only be accounted for by the fear entertained by th i ci Russians of seeing certain documents published. In the archives of the Mi nister of Foreign Affairs is a document of Peterhof, of Ist May, in which the most insulting expres sions are made use of towards such Boyards as are hostile to Russia, and in which the Sultan is repre sented as being absolutely crushed to the earth by the Czar. In another document, of Ist June, the Wallachians are threatened with the severest punishments if they manifest any friendly feelin gs towards Austria." _ _ The Paris papers of yesterday publish private despatches from Vienna, according to which the Turks under Omer Pacha have entered Bucharest. The Moniteur does not mention such an occur rence. AUSTRIA OUTWITTED. Letters from Vienna state that it was known there that the forward movement of the Ottoman army and that of the allies was resolved on and commenced as soon as it became evident that th e Austrian Government did not mean ho nes tly t o fulfil its treaty with the Porte and ent er W a ll ac hi a to turn out the Russians. It is stated that the Minister of the Sultan a t Vi enna h as requested that the Austrian Government will not, under the circumstances, send its troops i n t o an y o th er pro vince of the Sultan's dominions, under th e sup posed authority of the convention, or of the notes which have been since exchanged. Col. Manteu ffel proc ee d e d on Monday n i ght on a special mission from Berlin t o Vi enna . The semi-official Zeit. of the 13th publishes an article for the purpose of showing that the engage ments undertaken P russ ia are on no accou n t t o b e un d erstoo d as bind ing hr they Austria in her treaty with unconditional and immediate evacua tion of the Tu r ki s h Pr i nc i palit i es b y R ussia . "If Russia declare she will con ti nue me rely to oc cupy Moldavia, with perhaps a portion of e to demand Wal lachia, for a season, until the affair be peaceably arranged," the casus belli will not have arisen. CONSTANTINOPLE. OBJECT OF THE DUKE . OF CAMBRIDGE'S RETURN. A letter from the Turkish capital, of July 5, says : —His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge ar rived here on Sunday, 2d inst., on board the Retri bution, and returned to head-quarters at Varna on the following d ay . Th e o bj ec t of the Prince's short visit to Constanti no pl e was, it is understood, to con fer with. M. de B ruc k , an d ascertain the final decision and attitude of th e A us t r i an Government. This deli cate mission was undertaken by his Royal High ness at the express desire of Marshal St. Arnaud and Lord Raglan, who declared, it appears, that they can no longer rest under arms, and are fully entitled to demand whether Austria may be con sidered a friend or foe in the coming struggle. The Internuncio in reply to the queries of the Prince, protested, it i s sa id, i n the honourable intentions of his Gov ernment, an d that there was not, to the best of his judgment, the smallest chance of a deviation from that line of policy already traced out, but that no advices had yet reached him re specting the final result, and the impression pro duced at St. Petersburg by the last propositions of the Austrian Government. Nothing, therefore, was elicited t o th row any light on this question during the Prince's interview, and his Royal Highnes s h a d to re t urn to the camp as wise as he cam e , a ft er h av i ng co mmunicated the result to Lord Redcliffe. What the effects of this an swer may be as regards the Commanders of the allied forces, it is, of course, impossible to deter mine. How ever , the latest intelligence from the Danube announces the expected arrival of Omer Pacha; at Varna, that the Turkish army is advan cing in four columns, 36 battalions each, to effect a junction with the Anglo-French force, and that the Do brudscha as well as all the enemy's positions on the right bank have been completely abandoned, and the whole country laid waste—a scene of ruin and desolation. Such atrocious acts of these bar barous hordes merit prompt vengeance—and are, it must be admitted, an awful requital for the .humanity and generosity displayed by the admirals in sparing the town of Odessa. The Turkish fleet entered the Bosphorus on Saturday last, Ist inst., with the exception of a small steam division under the command of Ahmet Pacha, which has remained with the allied squadrons. The cause of this inci dent is not generally known, but it is supposed that Ad.mirals Dundas and . Hamelin consider the force under their command quite sufficient for every purpose in the Euxine, and that the Turkish squad ron, by guarding the pass of the Bosphorus, would contribute best to the success of their present plans. It is generally supposed that a contingent of the British troops will be despatched without delay to the Crimea, and that the destruction of the Russian fleet and Sebastopol, if it can be effected this year, is the great and absorbing object in contemplation. The Turkish Government has sent in within the last few days a note to the Hellenic Government, offering to reopen its ports to Greek commercial enterprise, on condition, however, that within a delay of two months, a public reparation be made and an indemnity allowed for- the losses and in juries resulting from the invasion of the Ottoman territory by the subjects of King 0 tho. The Turkish government is preparing a plan for the entire re organisation of the Danubian provinces. Although nothing as yet has assumed a definite shape, there was a question some days ago of despatching a high functionary on a special mission, for the purpose of ascertaining all that is required for the new order of things, and the entire reconstruction of the administrative system. It cannot be too urgently impressed on the Porto the absolute necessity of discarding irrevocably the whole personnel hitherto in employ, which has been invariably more or less hostile to the interest of the Sultan, and the indefatigable instrument of Russian intrigues. There is no longer any question of the Hospodars Stirbey and Ghika, but whether the Porte will at length comprehend its true interest, by the rigour ous exclusion of other not less dangerous notabili ties. Austria is very anxious for the reinstatement of Stirbey and Ghika,. On the Ist inst. some more vessels, with Russian prisoners, arrived at Constan tinople. Tli se men having been questioned on many points relating to the present condition of the Russian army, declared, without hesitation, that the losses and misfcrtunes sustained during the seige of Silistria had produced such an affect, such utter demoralisation in their ranks, that those di visions could no longer take the field without being remodelled, and drafted into other regiments. The poor fellows also frankly admitted that they had been labouring under a gross delusion, and that they were now fully convinced that the walls and cupolas of the Holy City were not, as represented to them, situated exactly behind the fortifications of Silistria. ' THE BALTIC. COPENHAGEN, July 11. To-day's post has brought no further intelligence respecting the second bombardment of Bomarsund. There would appear, therefore, to have been some mistake or exaggeration. Its capture cannot be difficult, and cannot be far off, for the French landing troops will doubtless be quartered there. The Swedish Parliament—that is, the House of Burgesses, and the House of Yeomen, the only two which have any independence, the two upper houses being mere court tools—have made a deter mined effort to free their country from the despotic reactionary and Russianising Cabinet now in power. The Burgesses have demanded the dismissal of Palmstjerna, Reuterdahl, and Gripenstedt ; the Yeomen that of Sparre and Palmstjerna, and also (without even a division) of Reuterdahl, Fahrteus, and Gripenstedt. This is an important event, but it is doubtful whether it will lead to any immediate change. Notwithstanding such a vote of want of confidence, it is expected that the Swedish Minis ters, like their comrades in Denmark, will not go out. Many of the speeches were bitter in the ex treme. The most eloquent and remarkable was that of the Yeoman Sahlstriim, who gave a lively picture of the despotism and degradation which now overwhelm a nation of the noblest origin, and with the noblest capabilities. The Valorous has been at Gefle ; and while there, its officers were invited to a dinner by a number of the citizens. Finland has now reached another stage of Russi fication. On its seizure, highwayman fashion, by Alexander, that Czar guaranteed its privilege not to subject it to any conscription colonised militia. Instead thereof, it had to furnish and keep two regiments of recruited soldiers. But, as we know, all Russian oaths and treaties are not worth the paper they are written upon. An ukase has just appeared, announcing that Fin land has made such immense moral and material progress, that its time has now come to be blessed with this new military conscription, and that, as a beginning, two battalions of sharpshooters shall 1 - e immediately established, one in the Abo- Bjorneborg district, and the other in Vassa-Ulea borg, all at the expense of the Finlanders them selves. If the West does not know what Finland is good for, the Autocrat does. These two batta lions are expressly stated to be only "a beginning," and unfortunate Finland may therefore expect to be drained of blood and money quite openly, at the caprice of its robbers. These troops will be sent to Poland, or the Crimea, or somewhere where their fidelity will be unquestioned, while Cossacks and other bandits will take their place. King Frederick had made a triumphant entry into his newly-purchased palace of Jfegerspris, which is to be restored to its ancient splendour. His Majesty is so much the more popular in its neighbourhood, as lie has freed all the peasants attached to the domain from every remaining feudal tie, hereby carrying into effect the object aimed at by the peasant league, which will, however, make this change compulsory, instead of the result of voluntary conviction and mutual advantage. The following is an extract of a letter, dated her Majesty's ship --, Barosund, July 10 : "We sailed from Cronstadt on the Ist inst. The reasons for our retrograde movement were of course not -communicated ; but, as cholera was somewhat in creasing, it was attributed to that pest. The French screS, liner Austerlitz has been the greatest sufferer ; she is said to have lost thirty men altogether. But, since we left Cronstadt, the cases have much di minished. On the 2d, the Imperieuse and four other steamers were detached to look at Viborg, arid see if any shipping lay there. The town stands at the northern extremity of a narrow inlet, about thirty miles long, with a very intricate passage. The steamers worked up within about three miles of the town, but as they could only see afew boats near the shore, they were not molested. It is extraordinary that none of our vessels have been able to fall in with or discover any of the Russian armed row-boats, of which we heard so much boasting. They seem to keep as snug as their large vessels. On the 3d the detached steamers rejoined, and we all proceeded to Barosund, which we reached on the 6th, leaving orders in passing Sveaborg for Admiral Corry's squadron to follow. The whole fleet reached the anchorage in perfect safety, except a French line-of-battle ship in tow of a steamer. This vessel struck upon a rock somewhat heavily, as she was going five knots. All the boats of the fleet were immediately ordered to her assistance, and succeeded, after she was lightened of her principal heavy guns, in getting her off in about twelve hours, with scarcely any damage, except a few sheets of copper ripped off from the bottom. The whole fleet is now assembled here, with the exception of Plumridge's squadron and a few steamers on blockade duty." The above extract accounts for, and sets at rest, the reports emanating from St. Petersburg, and propagated and amplified with pious zeal, by Rus sian friendly continental journals, of the loss and capture of sundry vessels of the Baltic fleet. An English naval officer is reported to have re turned home in all haste from Memel, by land in order to take the command of the shallow-going gun boats destined for the Baltic. The Dauntless left Copenhagen Roads on the 11th, taking a southerly course. FR ANCE. EMBARKATION OF THE FRENCH TROOPS FOR THE BALTIC. CALAIS, Monday.—Last evening General Bara guay d'Hilliers and the Admiral La,pierre invited Captain Le Febre, R.N., of the Dasher, and Cap tain Smithett, of the Devon, Royal Mail Service, who have so ably superintended the embarkation of the troops, to a banquet at the Hotel Dessins. The general, with great warmth of feeling, pro posed " The Health of the Queen of England," which was reponded to in a manner that made Englishmen proud of their Sovereign. Captain Le Febre had the honour to propose " The Health of the Emperor of the French," which was like wise clone ample justice to, and was received with great enthusiasm. The French Admiral then proposed " The British Navy," which compliment was acknowledged by Captain Le Febre, who sincerely hoped and firmly believed that the tricolor and the English ensign would from this time forth and for ever more float side by side in the discharge of a common duty to their sovereigns and countries, and for the inestimable benefit of the world at large. The evening was spent in the greatest harmony and most kindly feeling, ended in mutual respect. This morning, at daylight, the " rappel" disturbed the slumbers of the wearied, and prepared them for the embarkation of the Chasseurs and Voltigeurs, and the splendid band of the 63d of the line accompanied the troops, playing a spirit-stirring tune, and, adding to the effect vocally, it made amends for the early " tumble up." In 20 minutes the Sprightly received two companies, Fearless two companies, and Wildfire one company of Voltigeurs for the Belgravia transport. At the same time Le Corso took on board the 4th, sth, and. 6th companies of Chasseurs for the Clifton trans port—in all about 1,200 officers and men. In one hour the whole were comfortably placed on board and at their breakfast. The morning being de lightfully fine, and the sea as smooth as a duck pond, the Fire Queen went off to the Stromboli, Commander Robt. Hall, to bring that officer ashore to receive his instructions,. and to complete provi sions. At nine a company of Chasseurs went on board the Sprightly, to be conveyed to the Strom boli. The tide, however, had receded, and the Sprightly grounded. 1u an instant signal was made for every spare boat, and for the Fire Qu e e n to receive the troops from the Sprightly. All this was done in less than half an how, the soldiers were put on board, to their great delight and some what of astonishment at the promptitude displayed. The Stromi with her two transports, under the direction of Lieutenant William Ety, will get under weigh this afternoon for the Baltic. Tons of camp equipage, shot and shell, field-pieces, and ammunition waggons, continue to pour into the town, which is so full that there is no bed to be got for love or money. A ball will be given this evening to which all the officers of both nations are invited. The Emperor and Empress leave for Bayonne on the 19th. Their Majesties will return by the 15th of August. The Emperor having put off his visit to Toulon and Marseslles until September, the " Camp of the South" will not assemble before that date, on ac count of the cholera. The Moniteur publishes a decree founded on a report of the Minister of the Interior, opening an additional credit of 300,000 f. from the budget of 1854, to be employed in giving assistance to chari table establishments. " General Baraguay says the Con stitutionnel, " arrived in Paris on Saturday even ing, where, however, he will make but a very short stay." General Baraguay cl'Hilliers has been replaced by General Schramm, in the command of the expe ditionary corps which has just been embarked for the Baltic. A second division of French troops is shortly to be despatched to the same destination, under the orders of General Baraguay and 6,000 English are to be joined to them. The allied Powers will then have in the Baltic a force of about 30,000 men, capable of taking up and guarding any position which might be considered of a nature to serve as the base of operations in the war ; and of giving Sweden a sufficient mate rial guarantee, that in uo case, should she consent to depart from her present system of neutrality, will she be exposed without aid to the resentment of Russia. Letters have been received here from a good source in Sweden, which affirm that the Swedish Government has formally declared its intention not to join in the course adopted by the Western Powers, and which they solicit Sweden to give her adhesion to, unless the Isles of Aland, or some important point in Finland, should be occu pied by a body of Anglo-French troops, of a force sufficient to be spared the necessity of withdrawing at the approach of winter. Sweden does not as yet undertake absolutely to act against Russia, but she allows it to be understood. These letters declare that she would so act, on certain conditions, one of which is the payment of a monthly subsidy, as has been already stated. The amount of that allow ance would be calculated, it is said, according to the difference of keeping 60,000 men on a peace footing and one of war. A telegraphic despatch from Copenhagen states, that the Chamber of the Clergy in the Diet has adopted the bill for emancipating the Jews. We read in the Constitution net :—" The Empe ror has presented to M. Menche de Loisne, the sub-prefect of Boulogne, a very valuable autograph, namely, the proclamation of his Majesty to the ex peditionary corps of the Baltic, wholly written by his own hand, and dated from the camp of Vime reux." The Three per Cents. opened to-day at 71f. 60c., rose to 71f. 80c., and then fell to 71f. 10c. the closing price for the end of the month ; the Four and-a-:Half per Cents. closed at 98f. ; the New Loan was not quoted ; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,160 f. ; Rouen, 1,025 f. ; Havre, 585 f. ; Great Northern, 817 f. 50c. ; Strasburg, 780 f. ; New Shares, 612 f. boc. ; Paris and Lyons, 937 f. 50c. ; Lyons to the Mediterranean, 810 f. ; Western of France, 640 f. ; Bordeaux and Cette, 600 f. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, July 14.—The members of the Vienna Conference have communicated the contents of the Russian note last received by this Government to their respective Cabinets, and at the same time de manded instructions. It is expected that the reply of all the Governments will have reached this city within eight-and-forty hours ; at all events the Conference is to meet on the 17th to decide on the steps to be next taken in respect to Russia. It was foreseen here that the retraction of the order to occupy Wallachia would produce a most unfa vourable impression on the west of Europe, but the delay was unavoidable, as you have learned by my more recent letters. SPAIN. THE INSURRECTION. The following telegraphic despatches from Spain were received in Paris this morning, from which it appears that the insurrection is not diminishing, but is actually spreading : " PERPIGNAN, July 15.—The garrison and town of Barcelona have pronounced against the Govern ment. " The troops of Navarro and of Guadalaxara have taken the initiative, and been supported by the loud acclamations of the people. The military governor has headed the movement, which has ob tained the adhesion of the Captain General. The troops and populace rent the air with cries of 'Long live the Constitution !"Down with the Ministers !' and DoWn with Queen Christina !' " " BARCELONA, July 16.—The disaffected have profited by the general disorder in which this town is placed, and have set fire to a great number of the shops. They even assassinated one of the pro prietors, as also his son ; as likewise a master's mate. Yesterday three or four other persons were murdered. Military precautions are now being taken, in order, if possible, to prevent further dis turbances." " ST. SEBASTIAN, July 17.—Two battalions of the regiment of Bourbon, in garrison at this place, have pronounced, and have issued a very sensible proclamation. O'Donnel, the Commandant Ge neral, and Gupuscoa, the colonel of the regiment, and the principal official functionaries of the town have-been arrested. A corps of artillery has aided the insurrectionary movement. The general popu lation, however, have not rendered any assistance to the rebels ; and the town remains tranquil." The following letter from Madrid is given by the Mon,iteur " MADRID, July 11.—According to news published by the Gazette and the Madrid journals, the regular troops of the insurgents, after having concentrated themselves at Manzanares, having taken the Andalusian road, and must to-day have entered the Sierra Morena by Despena- Perros." We find in the Bulletin the following proclama tion of General O'Donnell, which was published on the 7th at Manzanares, a small town of La Mancha, near Ciudad-Real : " Spaniards ! the enthusiastic reception which the liberal army obtains from all the populations ; the reso lution of the soldiers who compose it, and who acted heroically at Vicalvaro ; and the applause which has everywhere greeted the news of our rising, assure from this moment the triumph of that liberty and the laws which we have sworn to defend. In a few days the greater part of our provinces will have shaken off the yoke of the tyrants ; the entire army will have ranged itself under our flag, which is that of loyalty ; the nation will enjoy the benefits of the constitutional regime, for which we have uselessly shed up to this day so much blood, and have supported so many costly sacrifices. The moment has come for declaring what we have resolved to do on the day of victory. We desire the preservation of the throne, but with out - a camarilla which dishonours it ; we desire the rigorous execution of the fundamental laws, and an amelioration of the law on elections, and of that on the press ; we desire the diminution of taxes founded on strict economy ; we desire that in civil and military employments the rights of seniority and those of merit shall be respected ; we desire to wrest the communes from the centralisation which devours them, and to give them the local independence necessary for the increase of their prosperity ; finally, as the guarantee of all these advantages, we desire to establish t h e national militia on solid bases. Such are our intentions. We state them frankly, without des ring to impose them on the nation. The Government juntas which will have to constitute themselves in the free provinces, the general Cortes, which will have to assemble without delay, the nation itself, in short, will establish the definitive bases of the liberal regeneration to which we aspire. It is with these sentiments that we consecrate our swords to the national will, and we swear not to replace them in the sheath until our object shall be attained. " LEOPOLDO O'DONNELL, Count de LUCANA, General-in-Chief of the Constitutional Army." ITALY. The Opinione of Turin, of the 13th, notices in a leader an assertion made some time ago by the Univers, to the effect that the demagogues of all countries, but more especially those of Italy, side with Russia at the present moment, in the hope that that power will ultimately encourage their views, in order to create embarassinents for Austria and the Western Powers. To this the Opinione replies that the Univers unfairly confounds the Italian constitutionalists with the Mazziniaus ; that not being in the secrets of the latter, it (the Opinione) cannot say whether they incline to Russia or not ; but that Mazzini and his followers are but individuals without any hold on the opinion of the country, while the constitutionalists of Italy, forming the majority of the country, are heart and soul for the Western Powers, and against Russia. GREECE. Extract from an article of the Greek newspaper Panhellenium, No. 101, June 27, 1854 : " Mr. Wentland was the only person left who formed part of the Bavarian foreign Government. He, therefore, remained at the Court as its repre sentative ; and what at first was worked by the many wheels composing the Camarillo, was now executed by Mr. Wentland alone. His office Wag another king's private counsel. All citizens who had affairs to settle were obliged to appeal to it. There were to be seen waiting every day iu order to obtain audience, senators, ° deputies, ministers, and officials of every rank and degree. It was there that all those who were seeking the favour of the Government took refuge. Finally, it was there where ministers, ranks, honours, and all the boun ties of Government were distributed. It was there that Parliamentary combinations were agreed upon, and the election of deputies resolved. It was there that the list for new senators was composed. It was there that a mystical and private correspondence was held and incessantly entertained with some of the provincial hirelings, who were honoured with the appellation of devotees, because they wrote twice or thrice a week long reports full of false intelligence and calumny, always connected with the salt of flattery and the most contemptible low ness. There, day and night, a few persons had a free access, at whatever time, that they might bring tidings and receive orders. There characters were sounded and disciplined to meekness and obedience. There were taken as security the adults of future servility. There the Ministers solicited for the reception of their proposals. There, in a word, was recapitulated the policy of the country, and the Ministry were constantly eclipsed by the influence of this extraordinary power. Nothing throughout Greece and its more distant parts equalled the renown and the power of Mr. Went land. " This thing is not worth any further develop ment, because all of us, thank God, know it. Every one saw that the existence of such a between wall was very prejudicial to the advantage and dig nity of royalty, as well as of the nation. Royalty was unworthily lowered from its high station, the nation was trampled down, and its Government was no more than a blind tool of foreign will, and was only suffered to exist under the conditions of being such. The barrier forming the third power between the Government and the people ought, therefore, to disappear. It was not a question re specting a private secretary confined to the duties of the private service of the Court, for, if it had been thus, it would of course have been tole rated. But the individual in question unlawfully formed a whole system of political responsi bility, holding in the State itself the most eminent political stature, which was not acknowledged by law, which exercised in obscurity an immense in ternal and external influence, enacted without any restraint of competency in an individual in whom all government affairs, both great and small, were concentrated, and on whom all depended, from the Minister to the meanest official, and from the deputy and senator to the last citizen, whilst .he did neither, filled up any ministerial. station, nor was he enumerated among the officials, nor invested with the public character of a statesman. " It was necessary to counteract this evil, for every one fully understands that his existence would have paralysed the whole. This obstacle was to be removed, and it has been removed. The Ministers proposed and his Majesty accepted the proposal, in consequence of which Mr. Wentland was dismissed from the Palace, and departs from Greece next Friday." WEST INDIA MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, Monday Night.—The Royal mail steamship Magdalena, Captain Abbott, has arrived here with the usual West India mails. The Magdalena brings 198 passengers, among whom is ex-Governor La Trobe, from Melbourne ; and on freight specie value $922,172, plata pins value $80,530, precious stones value $2,800 ; 1,144 serons cochineal, 671 serous jalap, 118 bales sarsa parilla, 16 live turtle, and sundry merchandise. Dates from Jamaica are to the 27th ult. The business transacted in the import-market has been of a limited character, owing principally to the very inadequate stocks of most articles on hand, and prices consequently have advanced. The cholera prevailed to a great extent in many of the agricultural parishes, but most virulently in the districts of St. Ann and St. Thom as in the Vale. The latest accounts from the form er parish speak in discouraging terms of the prospects of th e pimento crop, which, ° it is anticipated, will be se: riously affected by the scarcity of labour occasionad by the great mortality among the peasantry and by the circumstance that those of them who have not succumbed to the pestilence are quitting the parish in large numbers. The cholera was still raging at Barbadoes, and many of the troops had died. It appears that the streets, wharves, &c., are nearly deserted ; th e Governor has released all prisoners, and no p e rson is allowed to be imprisoned ; and a report is in cirulation that he intends disbanding the police force altogether. In the city burial grounds, on the 28th of June, 311 bodies were deposited, and the deaths during the last fortnight amounted to about 5,000, but it was gradually decreasing ill the town, but increasing in the cou n t r y. Th e mortality among the whites was very considerabl e : A Barbadoes paper says :—" We are satisfied that, if accurate returns could be procured front the rural districts, it would be found that some:, thing like a gross total of 6,500 persons of all classes, sexes, and ages have fallen victims to t his malady since the 14th of May last, the day ° i n which the first case of the disease was officially announced." There has been a very destructive fire at St. Jusn i Porto Rico. The fire commenced o n th e n ight °f the 25th, and continued to burn until the 27th' By a rough calculation the loss of property is OP posed to be 200,000 dollars, principally in goods. Demerara papers state that the colony W a A s healthy, and th e wea th er b eaut if u l. G rea t dreg 4-1 of the cholera existed. It was currently reported at St. Thomas's t" 3 , two privateers, under Russian colours, were in those seas, and the British war steamer Devast 3 ' tion left that port on the 16th on a cruise. Grenada had been visited with refreshing raill and the crop was nearly over. The late droug ht had done serious injury. The present sugar cit . shows a great falling off, and the quality was in' rior. SHIPPING INT ELLIGENCA Or ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) LIVERPOOL, Tuesday, 10.30 &III! Wind S., and very fine.
