- f(lt LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1854. It was indeed fortunate that SCHAMM, in place of accepting the proffered aid of the Allies, relied on his own prowess to effect the liberation of his country. The Circassian Hero had witnessed the untoward results of the "assistance" (!) rendered to the Porte by the Western Powers—an assist ance not unlike that frequently afforded by an affectionate spouse to her husband when assailed by some truculent scoundrel. The good woman seems to think that by closely embracing her loving partner, and effectu ally pinioning his arms while he received the blows of his assailant she is bestowing valuable service. So it has hitherto been in Turkey. The SULTAN was kept in leading strings by French and English diplomatists, who, while suffering themselves to be bamboozled by the %representa tives of the Germanic confederacy, prevented him from benefiting by the valour of his own troops, and compelled him, by their cruel kindness, to hand over the rescued pro vinces from which he has just expelled the unscrupulous invader to the tender mercies of an Ausrtian Protectorate. SCHAAM, however, profited by the valuable lesson. He was determined to preserve his free dom against all parties, from injudicious friends as well as from avowed enemies. He might not defend his country according to the strict rules of modern warfare, but he did so e f fectually like the children of the Mist, it might be with the primitive weapons and rude tactics of his forefathers. The risibility of the DAL GETTY; who deemed the garroting stocks, the crippling cross-belts, the pipe clay, and the razors the indispensable elements of a sol dier's equipment, might have been excited at the system. But we rejoice to be enabled to say that, under that system, he has obtained a signal triumph over his powerful opponent— that he has defeated tho Russian army in the neigbourhood of Tiflis, with the loss of "many of their men, seven guns, three thousand tents, and all their baggage, many of their horses and waggena, and all th e i r p rov i s i ons an d ammu nition." Th; e impresi r o l n ea o siintelligen t : was contained in our yesterday with the additional news that "the P u in force under Prince BEETJTOFF, were retreating forced marches from Kutois and Kars to Tiflis." It will be recollected that this was the corps which had recently been menacing the Turkish army on the &on. • „ iers of Georgia, and obtained a decided advantag e in consequence of the inefficiency and jealousy of certain Turkish officers. The diversion created by the gallant SCIIAMYL had, however, the effect of producing a sudden and hurried withdrawal of these tro o p s , who had departed in such hot haste th a t t h ey left n o l ess than ten spiked guns, besides 'a quantity of ammunition, and a large number o f waggons and mules, in the deserted camp. Various reasons have been assigned for this movement. It has been surmised that it may be ascribed to the expedition which at that time was about embarking from Varna for the Crimea and Sebastopol, but which the Russians might have supposed to be directed for the Cacausian district. We believe, however, that the veritable reason was the triumphant victory of the Caucasian " TELL," and the march on Tiflis, affords strong corroboration of the accuracy of this opinion. We thus find that the star of NICHOLAS is on the wane in Asia as well as in Europe—that retributive justice is at length about to be in flicted on the arrogant and unconscientious dis turber of the public peace---the man whose greedy passion for the increase of his already overgrown dominions has involved Europe in war. All avenging 1 - 2,31E51S is attending his wht can f oo t s teps, and hardening his ofheart a against the inevitable conse q uences now only be regarded a s an insane and perverse c ontinuance in demands , as unwise and impolitic f rr were a as they are known to b e unequitabetle an eat d unjustif - fiable. Many opportunities c forded. O ur diplomatists buil t sundry bridges h he might have for the enemy, _of, which availed himself for retreat without in jury to his cc onour propre" or his power, gth. But he may now to his pride or stAren thank his inju di c i ou s , friends, one of them "of forty years' standing," for his downfal. The diplomatists and German supporters, while encouraging his unfounded pretensions, ha 7 0 really occasioned all the mischief. Had " the sayings' and d o i n gs" of France and England, in the first instance, been as decisive and unequivocal as they were at a later stage of the proceedings, and had the Ger manic Powers acted without dissimulation and fraud, he would have been spared the humiliation and injury he has since sustained, and which he must also look forward to. But he vainly reckoned on the " gratitude " of Austria, the "nepotism" of Prussia, and, above all, the "Aber deenism" of the English Cabinet. We now behold "the beginning of the end." Patience, although lou suffering, has been exhausted. He has shown hiln self to be unworthy of any commiseration. Be will allow nothing to break the well-merited fail ; and, expelled from the Caucasian provinces and the districts in Southern Asia deprival of the Crimea, with his fleets and arsenals therein totally destroyed, or transferred to his opponents —he will have to mourn "in sackcloth and ashes" the fatuity that induced him to prefer, and the hollow friendship which persuaded him to persevere in, his untenable demands ; and which will render his fall as remarkable as his ambition was unbounded. That singularly discontented and greenhorn personage "pater familias" is again iu the field, and there is, unfortunately, but too much r:asou for his complaints. He sees that the country is blessed with an abundant harvest, and that there is every reason to look forward to a plenteous provision for the reasonable wants of the com munity. He also perceives that there has been a great reduction in the prices of all that he is ac customed to regard /as necessary. The price of every description of corn has fallen at least 50 per cent., while the charges for cattle have sympathised, although in a less degree, with those of cereals. But still he finds to his cost that he has profited but little by the auspicious change, that his weekly bills are still unduly swollen, his butcher maintaining the charge for the leg or shoulder of mutton or piece of roasting beef, without abatement=—while the baker grudgingly consents to a trifling reduc tion, but scarcely quarter of that which he ought freely and willingly to offer. These matters affectin g him, too, in the tenderest point—his pocket—excite his wrath to no ordinary eaten t, an d induce him to avail himself of an Englishman's undoubted privilege, of heartilygrumbling against those by whom he considers himself to have been very unfairly treated. It is to be regretted that in every instance the complainants, " whose name is legion"—have not restricted themselves to merely verbal complaints, but have given some striking proofs of their dis pleasure. There has been a repetition on a small scale of the " bread riots" by which the nation was so frequently disgraced in the palmy days of protection, and many bakers' shops were attacked, as if " cheapness," the great desideratum, could possibly be promoted by the destruction of pro perty. Controversies have since arisen. Th, bakers have shown themselves quite ready to wield the grey goose quill, or magnum bouum, in their own defence, and many " doughty" or " doughey" heroes have rushed into print with extraordinary alacrity, while their assailants are no lesi energetic in rushing to the onslaught. On one side we axe reminded' of the unques tioned and unquestionable doctrines of Free Trade, and invited to leave all these matters to unre stricted competition, which must sooner or inter bring everything to the proper standard ; while, on the other, we are' told that the " staff of life " constitutes an entirely exceptional case, and that having got rid of the leviathan monopoly that so long restricted the food of the people, we must also struggle totis griribus against the minor com binations that prevent the people from obtaining the full benefit of the blessed alteration in our corn laws. Bread is an articlo of primary necessity, the price whereof materially affects the' welfare and comfort of the 1 working population of the country. We are shown that in many matters of far leas conse quence we are compelled to interfere, and that we might as well leave the charges of a Dover Boatman or a London Cabbie to " unrestricted competition," as those of the millers and bakers who are confederated together to keep up the loaf at almost a famine price, during a season of great abundance and almost unbounded plenty. There is unquestionably much to be said on both sides of this vexatalikestion. It is truly stated that you have no i i greater right to define the rates of profit of the different bakers, or to specify the charges to be paid for labour at that trade, than for tailoring or bootmaking. Besides one baker may conduct his business in a very different manner from another, giving long credit to his customers, while the latter deals only for ready money. A variety of other distinctions may be taken, which show the great difficulty, if not absolute impossibility, of framing any fixed or general rule to suit every case. We confess that we ourselves are strongly opposed to any kind of interference with a man's affairs which he is usually much better capable of managing himself than any one can do for him. But there has been such a thing as " a general assize of bread," in which price, weight, and qua lity have been fixed by the Municipal authorities; and if it should be clearly and distinctly estab lished that there is a general combination in the trade to exact inordinate gains, and that ant person contented with moderate profits is ini.-/- riably exposed to a ruinous competition, the lossez , of his opponents being provided for out of a gene ral bakers' fund, a question may arise as to the propriety of fresh legislation to meet so dangei•- ous, and, we may add, so illegal a pr . actlee. Wc trust, however, that there will be no necessity for so serious a proceeding, but that. le and butchers may, while there is yet time, be awakened to their true interests, and voluntarily remove, the causes that have given ground to many urgent complaints and curses, both lisnd and deep, f6aa the hard-driven and inuch-to-'oc-com miserated "patres familiarwm." DEATH OF THE EARL OF ELDON.—Tni , nobleman died on the 13th instant, at Shirley Park, Surrey. after a long illness.

The great energies put forth on this occasion by Lady Cochrane and those who have so kindly assisted in this , national work of charity, have been the means of seauring 5001. in addition, from Mr. Dixon, of Stansfeld Park, in Hants. That gentleman had promised that if the bazaar should produce 5001. he would double the amount. It has already accounted for 5401., and to-day's sale may realise another 1001., although the weather is exceedingly unpropitious. A sale of 80,000 kilogrammes of mutilated sous took place yesterday at the Mint ; 30,000 kilogrammes of them bore the effigy of the Republic, or the Cap of Liberty, and the remainder were in pure copper, with effigies of Louis XV. and Louis XVI. The former fetched 240 e. per 100 kilos., and the latter from 260 f. to 270 f. The total amount of the sale was 202,360 f. A similar sale took place a few days ago at the Mint at Rouen, but the prices were not so high as those obtained in Paris.—Paris Paper.

He died very suddenly, a victim to the Asiatic cholera in its most malignant form. On Saturday he went out on a fishing excursion in the neighbourhood of his own home, and returned about nine o'clock in the evening. About an hour afterwards he was attacked with the premonitory symptoms of cholera, and notwithstanding all that medi cal skill could do he died about Sunday noon.

The party who begins, or his counsel, is to be allowed, in the event of his oppo nent not announcing at the close of the case of the party who begins his intention to adduce evidence, to address the jury a second time at the close of such case, for the purpose of summing up the evidence, and the party on the other side, or counsel, is to be allowed to open the case, and also to sum up the evidence, if any, and the right of reply is to be the same as at present. ADMISSION OF DISSENTERS TO OXFORD UNIVERSITY. —The new act on Oxford University will take effect in the forthcoming Michaelmas term. By the 43d section, from and after the first day of Michaelmas term "it shall not be necessary for any person upon matriculating in the university to make or subscribe any declaration, or to take any oath, any law or statute to the contrary notwithstanding ;" and by the following provision a de gree may he taken without a declaration or an oath ; but the degree is not to be a qualification for holding any office which has heretofore always been held by a mem ber of the Established Church.

The plasterers are busy at work under the superintendence of Mr. Hood, Cleveland-street, who himself undertakes the ornamental department, display ing correct taste and judgment in his designs. Mr. Jackson, of York, is the contractor for the wood work. It is expected that the whole will be completed so as to enable the trustees to have the chapel opened by the Bth of October.—Doncaster Gazette. FATAL ACCIDENT TO ONE OF THE ROYAL HORSE GUARDS BLUE.—Yesterday an inquest was held at Wind sor on the body of John Yates, aged 25, one of the troop of Captain F. Howard Vyse. A labourer named Brant deposed that about 6 o'clock on the evening of Wednes day he met deceased riding a horse in a fast gallop ; witness saw that he had no seat on the saddle, and his feet were out of the stirrups, and as he passed witness he said, " This is the way to ride, Jem." He had not got many paces from witness before he swerved from his saddle on the right side, but recovered himself ; in the effort he overbalanced himself and fell from his horse on the right side of his head. '0 AUSTRIA, THE RUSSIA The Ga7.:3t - le do i'Veser publishes the text of the tk3pl.teli ont by Count Nes:ktlrotle in reply to the Austian note supporting the four guarantees re quired by the Western Powers. We published the reply to Russia on Thursday : "TO PRINCE GORTSCHAKOFF AT VIENNA. " St Petersburg, August 14 (26). " I have received and submitted to his Majesty the Emperor the communications which the Austrian Cabi net addressed to us on the 10th of August (new style). "In acceding to the desire which Austria has ex pressed to us, not to press further our military opera tions in Turkey, and to recall our troops from the prin cipalities of the Danube, we had exclusively in view Austrian and German interests, in the name of which this desire was addressed to us. The concession required entailed the most important consequences upon us. As we have already remarked to the Austrian Government, it took away from us the only military point by which could be established in our favour an equilibrium of positions upon the immense theatre of operations in this war. More than this, it exposed us, irremediably, to the danger of seeing thrown, en masse, upon our coasts in Asia and Europe, in the Black Sea, the military forces of England, France, and Turkey. " Notwithstanding these inconveniences, and notwith , standing these evident dangers, we, keeping in view the interests of Austria and Germany, declared ourselves ready to retire voluntarily and completely from the principalities of the Danube. We even renounced every condition of reciprocity on the part of our adversaries. We demanded absolutely nothing from them. We con fined ourselves to expressing to Austria a desire to be informed by her what were the guarantees of security which she was individually in a condition to offer to us; and, in fact, foreseeing that it was not in her power to assure to us an armistice, we desired to know if at least, after the evacuation should be completed, and that con sequently the engagements contracted by her with the Western Powers would be fulfilled, we might reckon upon Austria ceasing to make common cause with those Powers with the object, publicly avowed, of bringing about the moral and material abasement of Russia. " At the same time, and in order to afford proof of our pacific intentionß, we declared ourselves ready to ad here beforehand to the princip7es laid down in the pro tocol of the 9th April. " In the place of replying directly to these questions, which were addressed to her directly, Austria thought it her duty forthwith to submit the business to the Western Powers, and to make her subsequent resolu tions dependent upon them—resolutions which we ex pected from her alone. "It was evident that the sacrifice which we were ready to make, keeping in view her particular interests, and the interests of the whole of Germany, could not have any value in the eyes of France and England ; and that those two Courts, whose object it is to humiliate and enfeeble Russia by prolonging the war, would not show themselves disposed to enter upon a conciliatory course. " This, unhappily, is proved by the communication which Count Esterhazy has made to us. " In point of fact, the Austrian Cabinet now transmits to us, as the result of its conferences with the Courts of Paris and London, new bases for peace, which, so far as form is concerned, have been prepared in a manner the least likely to secure an honourable adoption. And as to the meaning of them, we cannot be deceived, seeing that, according to the avowal of the French Government, as it was unreservedly made by the official publication of its reply to the Cabinet of Vienna, the interest of the European equilibrium' is made to signify nothing less than the abrogation of all our anterior treaties, and the destruction of all our maritime establishments, which, it is said, by reason of the absence of all counterpoise, are a perpetual menace against the Ottoman empire, and the restriction of Russian power in the Black Sea. " Such are, however, the bases which the Austrian Government recommends to us, and though it exhorts us to accept them without reserve, it believes itself not the loss bound to inform us, who are most• concerned, that the maritime Powers do not consider them as defini tively settled, and that they reserve the right to modify them at the proper time, according to the chances of the war. According to this, our acceptation of these bases would not suffice to afford any very certain prospect of the cessation of hostilities. The Austrian Government goes still further. It declares to us that, in its opinion, these bases result from the principles of the protocol, and that they are the necessary conditions of a solid and durable peace ; and consequently, that it completely unites itself to, and has even entered into formal en gagements with, the Western Powers, not to treat with us upon any other base. " Under these circumstances, it is useless for us to examine conditions which, while they are laid before us, are declared to be elastic and variable—conditions which, if they were to remain as they have been actually submitted to us, suppose Rtissia to be already enfeebled by the exhaustion of a long war, and which, if the force of temporary circumstances forced us ever to submit to them, so far from assuring to Europe a solid and especially a durable peace, such as the Austrian Government appears to expect, would only ex pose that peace to complications without end. In ac ceding as he has done to the principles laid down in the protocol, the Emperor certainly had not any intention of attributing to them the signification which has been here claimed. "The immense sacrifices which we were ready to make to the private interests of Austria and Germany, with ' out receiving any compensation on the part of Austria, while the latter, instead of perceiving in this the means of disengaging itself from obligations incurred by it, halbert° having, on the contrary, felt it due to herself to unite with the Powers our eneinies by yet stronger and more extensive engagements, we deeply regret that we are not able to give effect to her last communica tions. We consider that, in our present position, we have exhausted every measure of concession compatible with our honour; and our sincerely pacific intentions not having been regarded, it only remains for us to fol low, energetically, the course which has been traced out for us by our adversaries themselves—that is to say, to leave, like them, the chances of war to determine a defi nitive base for negotiation. The Austrian Government is already informed that motives arising solely from strategic necessities have en gaged the Emperor to order his troops to withdraw behind the Pruth. Having thus retired within our own frontier, and standing now upon the defensive, we expect, from this position, that equitable overtures will permit us to concur in the desire for the re-establishment of peace, on terms con sistent with our dignity and political interests, by de liberate proposals avoiding all provocation to an increase of complications ; but at the same time we are deter mined to defend, with resolution, our territory against all foreign attacks, from whatever quarter they may proceed.

" Complaisance pleases all, prejudices none, adorns wit, renders humour agreeable, augments friendship, and com plying with justice and generosity, becomes the secret charm of tho society of all mankind."—SCIIDERY. " An honest man is the noblest work of God." Sir Benjamin Hall is one of the most independent members of the House of Commons—the most liberal, and the most consistent of the class of politicians to which he adheres—ever Persevering, as an upright, honourable, and honest man ought, " The even tenour of his way," regardless of the transient glare of popularity, or the feverish desire of excitement. The honourable member for Marylebone is not a fre quent speaker in the House of Commons, yet he ls an untiring and vigilant looker-on with regard to all its movements. His addresses are listened to with marked respect, and in no instance has it ever occurred but that his speeches have been, in their matter and effect, highly successful. For a public man not professing to claim distinction as an orator, Sir Benjamin has many valuable requisites, his language is invariably correct, judiciously and classically arranged ; always delivered with exceeding good humour, whilst his courteous and conversant style —not in the least addicted to manner ism—at once confirms the unostentatious display of sentiment, as it also strikingly exemplifies the worthy baronet's undisguised sincerity. In private life many there are that proudly acknow ledge the fact, that Sir Benjamin Hall has the esteem of every one possessing a share of his acquaintance ; those who en have not in ot such familiar claim, but who have had opportunity of recogn i s i ng hi s k nown value, be theyeven public admit reputation.te justice political of this u c n h e a a r i a h c e e a r s , u h o( i i t l r i h e u v t e e r t t h o e e s hi Sir Benjamin Hall was married in December, 1823, to the accomplished daughter and co-heiress of Benja min Waddingt on , Esq., of Llanover Court ; is the eldest son of the late Benjamin Hall, Esq., who was for many years up to the period of' his decease M.P. for Glamorg - anshire. Sir Benjamin (then Mr. Hall) was originally returned to Parliament for the borough of Monmouth in 1831 ; but a contested opposition by the Marquis of Worcester resulted in his lordship's petition ing the house, and the honourable gentleman was ulti mately unseated ; the following year, however, turned the tables in his favour, and the marquis was defeated by a majority of 58. A numerously-signed requisi tion obtained the sanction of Sir Benjamin Hall in the election of 1837, to be placed in nomination for the in fluential and aristocratic borough of Marylebmie, and after a vigorous contest, in which not less than five candidates appeared in the field, Sir Benjamin was triumphantly returned by a large majority at the head of the poll. BRUTAL jUTRAGE AT LEEDS.—TWO Irishmen, named :Nl‘Grail and Peter Loughlin, are in custody at Leeds, ' charged with a ferocious attack upon James Conway, in York-street, in that town. There was an " row" in York -street—an occurrence of the commonest kind in that locality —and upon some persons going up they found Conway upon the ground with half a dozen Irishmen round him, kicking hint about the head and body like fiends, and M'Grail lying upon him tearing tt;e flesh from his f!ce with his teeth. The savages were got away with diffi cu lty, an d th en it was discovered that the monster M'Grail had torn away the greater part of one cheek and the lower lip of Conway. The in jured man lies in a precarious state. LATEST NEWS. THE WAR. EXPEDITION TO THE CRIMEA Wp have just received the followin g telegraphic despatch : VIENNA, SATURDAY, 10 A.M. According to a telegraphic despatch of the 7th, from Odessa, eight Anglo-French steamers had, on that day, placed themselves with their broad sides towards the quarantine harbour. A strong impression prevails that something wil be undertaken at the Isthmus of Perekop. At Simferopol, in the Crimea, great preparations are making for the reception of a high personage— probably a Russian Grand Duke. CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 8. The French fleet left Varna two days before the British fleet left Baltchik ; but they were expected to arrive at their destination, on the coast of the Crimea, simultaneously, owing to the British steamers possessing greater horse power. The landing was expected to take place between the 10th and the 12th. This is official. The Isle of Serpents, appointed for a rendezvous, is tho nearest point to the enemy's territory, and a little to the south of a line drawn from Eupatoria to the Kilia mouth of the Danube. The 21st Regiment has arrived, and proceeded to the Euxine. General Cathcart has arrived. The Sultan has issued firmans for the re-instal ment of the Princes Stirbey and Ghika as Hospodars. We have also received the following : DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS IN ASIA. VIENNA, FRIDAY EVENING. The Presse has advices from Trebizonde of the 30th of August, according to which the alarm caused by the success of Schamyl in Georgia, who was threatening Tiflis with 16,000 men, had been such that 15,000 troops had been sent by Prince Bebu toff from Aloxandropol for Gumri, to releave Tiflis. On learning this, Zarif Paella marched towards Kars, overtook the Russian rear-guard, and totally defeated it. It is said that the Turks havo now invested Guinri. Tho Cossacks had plundered a large Persian caravan between Bayazid and Diadin. VIENNA, FRIDAY. The Austrian Government has received official information of the sailing of the • Anglo-French expedition for the Crimea. The weather was favourable. THE FLEET OFF THE KILIA. Letters from Galatz state that the first division of the expedition was seen off the Kilia mouth of the Danube on the 9th of September, steering to wards the island of Adass. DERVISH PACHA AND PRINCE S TIRBEY. VIENNA, FRIDAY. BUCHAREST, Sept. 11.—The Austrian Consul Laurin leaves to-morrow for Vienna, with de spatches from Dervish Pacha and Count Coronini, inviting Prince Stirbey to return as Hospodar. Cholera is decreasing and trade improving in Wal lachia. DESTRUCTION OF RUSSIAN GUN-BOATS IN THE BALTIC. STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 13. Our papers states that an allied force has landed at Ulricasborg, near Sweaborg (Helsingfors), erected batteries, and destroyed a large division of Russian gun-boats, which the enemy thought were safe in the harbour. The town was set on fire. DANTZIC, Friday.—The Vulture left the British fleet at Ledsund on the 13th, and has just arrived at this port. The new fortifications at Bomarsund were being destroyed by the engineers. The fleet was remarkably healthy. The Royal George is ordered home. THE BLACK SEA_ The Siecle has the following on the expedition to the Crimea : " The delay which took place in the departure of the first part of the expeditionary army to the Crimea is ex plained by the violent winds which prevailed in the Bosphorus up to the 27th ult. On the 29th only, the north-west wind suddenly changed, and the in habitants of Constantinople had before them the imposing spectacle of 300 transports passing the Bosphorus by the aid of towing-vessels, and car rying stores, ammunition, and provisions of every kind to the troops who are to land on the coasts of the Crimea. The question of supplying an army carried to a country which the enemy has had full time to devas tate systematically is of so great importance that it can very well be comprehended that the Generals-in-Chief were unwilling to precipitate anything. We conceive, therefore, very well that, in order to give confidence to the country, the official journal published -yesterday this long detail of all the measures which have been taken to prevent the army from running any risk of failure from a want of material means. Not merely provisions, medicaments, clothes, linen, and shoes are necessary for the army ; it wants also field artil lery to fight, heavy artillery for siege, sand-bags, ga bions to entrench themselves, fascines to fill up the ditches, ladders to scale the breaches, and, in fine, thousands of hollow or solid projectiles, the latter to beat down the walls, and others to carry disorder and death into the enemy's ranks, and fire into his buildings and fleets. It is a grave affair to transport, ready for combats of every kind, an army of 80,000 men to a terri; tory where an adversary equal if not superior in number, and long prepared for resistance awaits it. All who are farniiiar with the military history of the last sixty years know that the siege of St. Jean d'Acre failed for want of three or four guns of large calibre. Bonaparte had ordered Admiral Perrd to bring some. The Ad miral was killed when endeavouring to pass through the English fleet, the guns did not arrive, and the eastern world did not receive that great modification, calculated to conduct it 50 years ago to the material and moral progress which the armies of France and England, then euemies, but now firm friends, are bringing to it." Advices from Odessa, to the sth inst., have come to hand. The communication with Sebastopol was uninterrupted. Prince Menschikoff was under stood to be unwell. A landing appeared to be an ticipated at Ozakoff or Cherson ; the preparations going on there for the reception of the enemy are reported to be most formidal•le. THE PR ENCIPALITIES. The intelligence from Bucharest reaches to the Bth inst. Count Coronini was going in a few days to Luczawa, from whence the Imperial troops will enter Moldavia. A great number of deputations of the inhabitants of Bucharest have waited on him, and were received in the most friendly manner. The Austrian troops are mostly guar tered in private; their discipline and good conduct are much lauded bythe Wallachians. The civilauthoritiesaredirocted to refer all matters relating to the occupation to the Austrian commander. The proclamation of Baron Bess to the Wallachians was posted on the walls of Bucharest on the 4th inst., and has not since been removed. Omer Pacha, Dervish Pacha, and Count Coronini have exchanged visits. The best understanding exists between the Austrian and Turkish commanders, and all the reports that have been spread to the contrary we now understand to be without foundation. HUMANITY OF OMER PACHA. The Post Ampt Gazettch:sthe - fOifowiTli from Bucharest, dated the 4th :—" Omer Pacha makes himself ea-eh-day more and more beloved. Having lately learned that a Russian colonel, who had been badly wounded at Busco, was in that town without medical aid, he sent him a surgeon from Bucharest, with an assurance that when cured ho should be allowed to return to Russia. THE MINISTER OF POLICE ARGIROPULO DISMISSED BY DERVISH PACHA. The Minister of Police Argiropulo, who had taken refuge in Transylvania, and who has returned to resume his place, has been dismissed by Dervish Pacha ; M. Cantacuzeno, jun., is named Minister of Justice ad interim. Dervish Paella displays both prudence and energy in the ad ministrative work with which he is charged." A letter from Bucharest, in the Transylvanian Messenger, says :—" A vague report is current that an Anglo-French division of 15,000 men will shortly arrive here." FORCIBLE INCORPORATION OF THE MOL DAVIAN MILITIA WITH THE RUSSIAN ARMY. Direct intelligence has been received from Jassy that the Moldavian militia—that is, all who could not escape—have been forcibly incorporated by General Budberg in Russian regiments, and marched off, meantime, as prisoners into Bessarabia, whence they will probably be sent to perish in the Cau casus. And these men boast of respecting inter national rights, and of humanely exercising their protectorate ! THE "PROTECTOR OF MOLDAVIA." A correspondent of the Ost Deutsche Post says that the 3d, being the anniversary of the Emperor Nicholas's ascent to the throne of Russia, was duly celebrated by the Russians. Jassy was illumi nated, and prominent among the illuminations was a figure of the Emperor—in each case with the in scription "Protector of Moldavia." MOVEMENT OF THE TURKISH TROOPS. The Turkish troops on the march from Sofia to Schumla and Varna have received orders to press forward as fast as possible, as the season is now approaching when the northern part of Bul garia becomes almost impassable from the swampy nature of the soil. The corps of 5,000 Bashi-bazouks, organised at Silistria by General iSateson (an Englishman in the Turkish service), began their march towards Babadagh, in the Dobrudscha, at the end of last month. All the available troops from Rustchuk, Turtukai, and Silistria are now directed towards Matschin. or Babadagh. The number of troops which will concentrate in this radius is about 80,000 men, THE PROVISIONAL COUNCIL. On the 31st ultimo Dervish Pacha addressed a note to the Administrative Council, inform ing them of the appointment of a Provi sional Council, the members of which are : The Grand Dwornik Constantine Catacuzene, President of the Administrative Council, and Minister of the Interior ; Constantine Cheresku, captain of the militia • the Logothete Janku Sla tineau, Minister of Public Instruction ; the Logo thete Otetelicheano, controller-general; and Janku Philipesku, Secretary of State. The note inti mates that this Administration will remain in office during the pleasure of the Porte. THE WINTER QUARTERS OF THE ARMY. Although the Turks have made preparations to pass the approaching winter at Bucharest, accord ing to a correspondent of the Ost Deutsche Post, only Halim Pacha, Zarif Pacha, and Dervish Pacha, with a Turkish garrison, will remain there. The troops under Ismail, Hassan, Hakki, and Girith Mustapha Pachas, will follow the retreating Rus sians ; and Omer Pacha will remove his head quarters to lbraila. It is reported by two of the local journals that immediately on the Russians evacuating Ibraila, on the 4th inst., General Bos quet, with some companies of French and Turks, crossed the Danube from Matschin, and occupied Ibraila. A few shots were exchanged with the retreating Russians, and some marauding stragglers were captured and sent to work on the fortifica tions at Matschin. THE BALTIC. COPENHAGEN, Sept. 11.—The Swedish papers again teem with cholera absurdities. The foreign steamers are stopping. The Parliamentary committee has decided that all Swedish trunk lines shall be constructed by the State, but that no railway shall be commenced till the next Diet. It has also discussed a funding system. Thus the Government has succeeded in knocking all railways on the head for another three years. Vessels continue to pass to and from the fleet. Among the former is the Wrangler. Transports are carrying home the French troops. About forty additional transports are expected at Elsinore on their way to England and France. It is evident that the campaign is over in the Baltic. It has been productive of nothing except the capture of the abandoned Bomarsund, and the explanation given by King Oscar of his interpretation of energy and independence. The monarchical principle has of course gained for itself additional admirers in the North.; ' VISIT OF THE KING TO THE AUSTERLITZ. A letter from Stockholm, of the 9th, says : " The French vessel of the line the Austerlitz has been anchored for some days past at Tralhalfvet, beyond the fortress of Washohn. It appears that she is to stop there for some time, and to be des tined to maintain communications with the Baltic fleet, especially as regards supplies. A great many people go from this place to see her. On Saturday last Prince Oscar went, and the officers of the Swe dish navy at present at Stockholm have this day gone on board to attend a fete offered them by the French officers." RUSSIA. The St. Petersburg Journal, of the sth inst., con tains a long report complaining of and detailing the bad treatment of Russian prisoners belonging to the Balaklava battalion, which were captured on the 10th of May, on their passage from Fort Novo rossisk by our cruisers of the Black Sea. The re port and comments are founded on assertions made before the authorities at Odessa by a Greek, named Nicholas Cazzaro, master or owner of the captured vessel, and who was subsequently liberated by order of Admiral Duudas. According to this man's asser tion, the prisoners were plundered of whatever pro perty they possessed, which all who know what a Russian's soldier's kit consists of are aware could not have been worth touching with fire-tongs, unless it contained property plundered elsewhere. The silver frames of the holy pictures were torn off, which frames could not have been of greater value than the kits, oven supposing the assertion to be true. The men were badly treated whilst on board the ships, and furnished with scarcely eatable food. Here again all who know what a Russian soldier's daily rations consist of will be dis posed to think that the men were never better off in their lives, no matter how bad their rations. A Russian soldier certainly gets meal, or rather bran, sufficient to make upwards of 3 pounds of a horrid composition called bread per day ; he likewise gets one-third of a pound of meat, or, at the utmost, 6 ounces ; and to this is added in good times a little rice or groats. This mess, of which the greater portion goes to make " tschi," certainly fills and inflates his stomach ; but it is notorious that, in point of quality, no troops in Europe are so detest ably and unwholesomely fed as are the Russians in their most palmy days at home. The Turkish admi ral, says the Journal, was so indignant at the bad treatment of the prisoners that he interfered, and effected an amelioration of their condition. An absurd assertion, as it is clear that the Turkish offi cer would not be allowed to interfere in such mat ters, unless the prisoners were given over to his charge. The French, it is added, spoke in terms little flattering of the conduct of the English, and declared that their conduct was as shameful as it had been in former times. The said Cazzaro, it is added, comm itt e d hi s asser ti ons t o p a p er , in form of a protocol. The object of the St. Petersburg Journal in pub lishing these assertions at this moment i s too clear to be mistaken. Yet it would seem the moment is not well chosen to calumniate and traduce English officers. 1,200 Russians have just fallen into our hands, and when perhaps 12,000 others may share the same fate ere many days --and all this on the assertion of a Greek skipp er , w h ose b ond would be as worthless as his word. AUSTRIA. Sept. 12.—Two of th e l ocal journals, the V 'and the Fremden Bl a d tt, contained a rather Lloyd dA traordinary piece of intelligence in their L IENN Bucharest correspondences published this morning. The story which their respective correspondents favoured us with was, that Prince Gortschakoff, the Russian Generalissimo in the Principalities, had notified to Baron von Hess, the Commander in-Chief of the Austrian armies in the East, a s also to Count Coronini, the com man d er o f the Austrian tr oops i n the Principaliti es , that the entire evacuation of Moldavia by the Russians would only take place sub conditions, that Omer Paella should agree, first, to abstain from pursuing the enemy during his intended retreat to behind the Pruth ; secondly, that the Ottoman forces should not enter Moldavia ; and thirdly, that they should evacuate Wallachia within four weeks. It is satisfactory to read an entire and complete refutation of this gratuitous information in the Austrian Correspondence of this evening. For some days past considerable activity in the movements of troops has again become observable. Yesterday two divisions of the regiments of Prince Emil and Prince Taxis, and the entire rocket bat tery, No. 4, left Vienna by the Northern Railway, destined for Szegedin, in Hun gar y. This morning a separate l uggage train left this place for Cracow, laden with one thousand hundredweight of ammu- . nition. These transports are being expedited with as much baste as if the•war were close at hand. In our military circles we hear that the Bohemian fortresses of Josephstadt, Thereseiustadt, and Konigsgratz, are forthwith to be put in the best possible state of defence, and to be provided with every material belonging to a war-footing. The Emperor of Austria left Vienna on the 10th for the baths of Ischl. A letter from Vienna of the 9th says :---" As the Emperor was, according to his custom, the day before yesterday making a promenade in the gardens of Schcenbrunn, a man walked straight towards him without taking of his hat, and with the manifest intention of ac costing hi m . His majesty, on seeing this, turned 'aside, and went in a diff eren t di rec ti o n, but displayed no emotion. Some persons of the Empktror's suite, however, arrested the man, and had him con veye d to the nearest guard-house. There the stranger seemed not to know where he 'Was, nor what had taken place, and he was ascer tained to be insane. The affair, though insignifi cant, has caused a good deal of talk." It is stated in a ltter from Vienna that all the hospitals for military invalids are about to be sup pressed, and that the invalid soldiers are to be con fided to the care of their respective communes, which are to receive from the Government the funds necessary for their support. It has already been stated that the circulation of the Lloyd of Vienna in Prussia has been prohibited by the Prussian Government. The Zeit of Berlin states that this prohibition was not , caused by the general view that the Lloyd takes of the Eastern question,but by its systematic attacks on the Prus sian Government. PRUSSIA, BERLIN, Sept. 13..--The following extract of an article in the Dusseldorf Journal relative to the Prussian circular of the 3d inst., alluded to in a previous letter, is worthy of attention "A circular, dated the 3d inst., has been transmitted to all Prussianlegations iu Germany by our Government, in which. it is mentioned that the Oriental question bad been taken into consideration by the committe ad hoe, prior to the adjournment of the Diet, and that a report thereon had not been drawn up, as the different envoys were not furnished with sufficient instructions. But as this important question will be discussed on the resump tion of the sittings, it has become a duty to communi cate the views which will be the leading points of con sideration for the further treatment of the subject, now that the Russian reply of the 26th of August has been re ceived. It is to be regretted, it is said in the circular, that the Emperor has not accepted the bases for negotia tions for peace. After mature examination, two points are of great importance in a military and political sense for Prussia, Austria, and all other German States — the withdrawal of the Russian forces within the Im perial territory, and the assurance of remaining there in a defensive position. All disquietude as to aggression by Russia, especially upon Austrian territory, is excluded by these positive declarations. Russia evacuates the Danubian principalities, not only de facto, but she also declares that she will entirely remain on the defensive within the Russian territory. If, in despite of this, we were to consider the danger of a possible reoccupation of the Danubian principalities as a durable source of peril to German interests, and thereby establish military I)bligations—in that case we should borne to the point of now establishing a cams belli, although all Europe, including the Western Powers, has not hitherto ()Loch, niait) considered the occupation of the same (prin cipalities.) by Russian troops as such." The ailesian Journal announces, under the head of Vienna, that the reply of the Western Powers to the communication of the Austrian Cabinet, wherein, it announced the reception of Count Nes selrode' s answer of the 26th ult. has been received by Couiat Buol, and that the two Governments ex press themselves perfectly satisfied with the posi tion which Austria intends to assume, and that neither one nor the other asks for or expects a de claration of war against Russia. This may be re garded as a very simple truism, for where there exists no prospect of accomplishment it were bad policy indeed to express desires. The King of Prussia returned to Potsdam on the 12th from Stettin. The Hon. Mr. Elliott, attaché to the British Legation, has left Berlin for Dantzic, with de spatches for Sir Charles Napier, which will be for warded to the fleet without delay. The Russian Loan is now being quoted, and some business is done therein, on the Berlin market. It appears that the house of Mendelssohn, and an other house or two, principally engaged in money transactions with Russia and Poland, are extremely active in giving credit to the new bonds. It is said among other things, that these houses purchase with eagerness the bills given at Dantzic and else where for the supply of provisions and live stock at Dantzie for the use of the English fleet, and that Almost all these bills are sent to St. Petersburg, where they are negotiated and converted into money on account of the new Russian loan. So, then, we are, nolens volens, supplying Russia with money by indirect means. MONTE VIDEO. The Constitutionnel contains the following : " We have received accounts from Monte Video to the sth ult. The situation of the Oriental Republic was still at that date very precarious notwithstand iug the intervention of the Brazils, which, it may be remembered, had placed at the disposal of Col. Flores a monthly subsidy of 60,000 patracons (about 180,000 francs) and some thousands of men. The Chambers, which had been convoked by the provisional government after the revolution of the 25th September, sat from the 12th March to the 18th July. At the latter part of their long session they voted the bills presented to them by the Executive Government, for the regulation of the public debt, the national hank, the issue of gold, silver, and copper coin, and, lastly, a law 0 11 the press, which compelled writers to sign their articles. The French residents still loudly com plain of the postponement of the settlement of their claims, but it is hoped that the diffi culty will be soon removed, as the French and English Ministers are said to have requested their Governments to send out special com missioners in order to bring the matter to a solution. The political and commercial situation of Buenos Ayres does not appear to have improved since the month of June. The incessant fluctua tions of the paper-money had led to the formation of a Commercial Bourse. The internal tranquillity of the country was not disturbed during the month of July, except that at some of the elections some quarrelling and fighting took place. An invasion of Indians is said to have taken place on the side of Patagonia. 40,000 head of cattle are said to have been carried off, but this number is regarded as 3 gross exaggeration." ITALY. The Parlamento of Turin quotes a letter front San Marino, stating that on the 20th ult., a Dr• Lazzarini, a man known for his devotedness to the Papal Government, and who had recently got two refugees arrested, was shot dead on the market place of that t own . Th e assass i n has not been dis covered. We have intelligence from Naples, of the 4th inst., that the cholera has almost disappeared ; and that in Palermo there is a great improvement. At the latter place 4,249 persons died between the 10th of August and the Ist of September. At Messina the disease is very violent. At Genoa, on the Bth, there were 12 cases of cholera, and 11 deaths ; at Turin, on the same day, 25 cases, and 8 deaths. Sickness hero is visibly declining. At Leghorn, on the Bth, there were three cases of cholera. DEATH OF CARDINAL MAI. The scientific world has just experienced a severe loss in the death of Cardinal Angelo Mai, which took place on the 9th, at Albano, in his 72d year. Cardinal Mai owed his hat to the high position which he had acquired in the learned world by his curious discovery of the Palimpsestus. He bad just succeeded Cardinal Lambruschini, as librarian of the Vatican. FRANCE. The Moniteur contains the following report to the Emperor from Marshal Vaillant : "Paris, Sept. 14. "Sire—The provisions which your Majesty had adopted for the recruitment of the army have been com pletely realised, and the effective number of our land firces appears likely to suffice for all the necessities of the present situation. Nevertheless it would be prudent at present to make provision for the diminution which that force will sustain by the liberation of the class of 1347. To that end, I have the honour of proposing to your Majesty to call into activity the young soldiers of 1853, who still remain available in the reserve. VAILLANT, "Marshal of France, Minister of War. An Imperial decree convokes the colleges of the Ist circumscription of the Morbihan for the Bth October, to elect a deputy iu the room of M. Jol livet de Castelot, deceased. An extraordinary service of couriers has just been organised for the transmission from Marseilles to the Emperor, wherever he may be, of the de spatches which arrive from the army of the East. Three couriers have arrived at Marseilles from the Post-office, to be ready for that purpose. Relays of horses are kept in !constant readiness between Valence and Lyons, and on the railway from the latter place special trains are ordered to be ready at a moment's notice to convey the couriers to the point required. There are several leading articles in the Paris journals of this day, but they are, with one or two exceptions, destitute of interest or novelty. The
