WIND, S.E.—Cloudy. - LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1854. There is at length reason to hope that the un accountable, and, we may add, culpable inactivity that so long prevailed amongst the allied forces in the East is about to be dispelled. The pestilence, possibly occasioned, certainly aggravated, by that sloth and inactivity, and also by the gross neglect of the most ordinary sanitary precautions, has happily abated, and there is but little doubt that our gallant seamen and soldiers, notwithstanding the severe losses they have sustained, will be ready, as on all former occasions, to discharge their duties energetically and efficiently, and to achieve all that they may be permitted to accomplish. Even the ABERDEEN organ now acknowledges the impolicy, to use no harsher term, of the course adopted by our leaders in the Euxine and its vicinity. But a few days since—even during the present month, the first week whbreof has not yet expired, the Times makes the following remarkable admission :—" It can hardly be de nied, however," says our contemporary, " that the casualties by which the army has been visited might possibly have been avoided. By the wisdom which comes after the event we can now mark our errors and their consequences. By this time we trust that the troops have exchanged the sickness and monotony of a life in camp for the excitement of active operations in sight of Sebastopol ; but nothing can be clearer than that this movement might have been effected months ago. As it turns out, our army might as well have sailed for Varna direct, and embarked from that port to the Crimea as soon as ever the requisite preparations could have been made. Our expedition, in short, might have been an expedition against Sebas topol, without any reference to the Dardanelles, the Bosphorus, or • Bulgaria. The line of the Danube was effectually protected by OMER PASHA and the troops of the SULTAN, and we might have addressed ourselves at once to Russia without expending any solicitude upon Turkey. There was literally no reason at all why the resolution of invading the Crimea should not have been formed and executed within two months after the army left the shores of England, and, if this had been. done, it is quite within the bounds of possibility that the whole work might now have been over. As it is, five months have been consumed under canvas without any result but discouragement, weariness, and disease." Yet this was the line of argument adopted by ourselves and other journalists, which, no later than Saturday last, called down on our devoted heads the indignant reproaches of the very consis tent leading journal for our factious attacks on its protege, the good and excellent ABERDEEN. Now, however, its tone is altogether altered. In addi tion to the matter above extracted, it tells us that " our troops are not useless in Bulgaria, but they are suffering deplorably from the very inac tion to which such a position condemns them ;'' adding, " that it must appear to every one that with such an expenditure of life and strength Sebastopol must infallibly have been ours," and ad mitting that "no doubt that fortress is strong, its g arrison numerous, its artillery formidable, and its defenders brave, but that no weapons or devices of the enemy can be half so d estructive as that protracted inactivity which consumes the very soul of the army, while pestilence w ith all its horrors is abroad." Why, here is a leaf out of our own book. The Times has suddenly become a convert to the vigorous and energetic carrying on of the war, an d impliedly censures those who so long continued indifferent to the wisest and most eligible line of policy. It says, " the sooner we Now get to Sebastopol the better !" From this we may fairly conclude that it is tolerably certain that we are going at Sebastopol, for our leviathian =item temporary is, to use its own language, justly celebrated for " the wisdom that comes after the event," and would by no means recommend a course which it had not very substantial grounds for believing to be resolved on. Once in action, we cannot permit (Ai rselves for a moment to doubt the result. The bombard ment of Bomarsund, and the speedy surrender of that quasi impregnable fortress, has completely established the supremacy of cannon-balls and shells, and the iimpossibility of the The memoranda recently issued by the Corn mander-inChief respecting the Windsor Courts martial, prove beyond the possibility of doubt tl.e incompetency of the members of these extraor dinary tribunals to conduct a trial properly, or to arrive at a correct conclusion on the testimony which they have actually received. Among many offences of omission and commission, if properly admitting, and as improperly rejecting evidence, there was one point especially referred to by Lord HARDINGE that exhibits their gross igno rance in the clearest point of view. Oa the cross examination of Lieutenant GREER by the prisoner in the first trial, the following question was sub mitted—" Did you not seize me by the breast and throat, and throw me on my bed, and did not I order you under arrest, which you refused to obey, saying you would see me damned first ? " This question the Court, after mature considera Lion, decided against allowing to be put to the witness. The clear inference from which refusal was, that the members did not consider it pertinent or relevant to the issue —that, in fact, it would not constitute any valid defence if it had been proved that the quasi prosecutor had acted in the manner imputed to him. Now, if there was any subject with which the Gallant Gentlemen, sitting in judgment on their brother officer, might be supposed to be thoroughly acquainted, it is the code comprised in "the Articles of War," the only authority by which they professed to be influenced. They unhesitatingly scouted the views expressed in STAIMONDS, on Courts-Martial, but they could not exhibit similar contempt for the Articles of War. Now, the 15th Article expressly declares that " All officers, of what condition soever, have power to quell all quarrels, frays, and disorders, though the persons concerned should be of supe rior rank, or belong to another corps, and either to order officers into arrest, or soldiers into con finement, until their proper superior officers shall be acquainted therewith ;" and the 44th Article declares that " Any officer who; being concerned in any fray, shall refuse to obey any other officer (though of inferior rank) who shall order him into arrest, or shall draw his sword upon, or o f fer violence to, such officer, shall for each and every one of the aforesaid offences, on conviction thereof before a General Court-martial, be cashiered." Now looking to the terms of these imperative regulations, it was perfectly obvious that if GREER had been guilty of such conduct, not only refusing to obey the order of Lieutenant PERRY that he should be placed under arrest, but offering personal violence against the officer who gave that order, he would be a mutineer, whose violence should be terminated in the most deci sive and summary manner. The admission of the witness would have been a complete answer to the charge, and yet he was not allowed to ob tain that answer through the undue interference of the Court, which thus manifested not only the most profound ignorance of the ordinary principles of jurisprudence, which allow any person on trial for an assault to plead " Son assault demesne," and to prove that his violence had been committed in self-defence against a previous attack of the prosecutor, but also of the Articles above quoted. This was alone sufficient to prevent the confirma tion of the proceedings, and the refusal to do so was practically the heaviest censure that could be inflicted on the " unlearned tribunal." While on this part of the case we may express our surprise that in the charges subsequently pre ferred against Lieutenant GREER no allusion was made to this, the most serious military offence that could be committed. He was accused of hav ing used violence and uttered improper language against his brother officer, but not of having re fused to obey an order to go under arrest, a mat ter on which there could have been but little doubt. The obnoxious point was, however, over looked, and apparently not through inadvertence, but in order to afford a loophole for the escape of the culprit ; and, inasmuch as it was through the special direction of the Horse Guards that the second Court-martial was directed, we cannot alto gether acquit these high authorities from a very considerable portion of the blame thereby merited. The finding of the second Court-martial also remained without confirmation or approval. Not withstanding the locus penitentice afforded the order for the reassembling of the Court, with a view to the revision of the proceedings, the members adhered to their former finding, the im propriety whereof has been very clearly explained I ,by Lord HARDINGE. Never, indeed, was there a decision so palpably opposed, not merely to " the i weight of evidence," but to " the entire evidence," in the case. The rough and brutal GREER had, however, the sympathy of the Court, rather than yTohuenyg triednan t w o ho s l i n lelt e r so h grievously m t the t i r n e n a o t e c d e 1 . 1 t pertinacity with vain, Notwithacoading the THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER, 7, 1854. strongest granite effectually withstanding a well-directed fire. It is at Sebastopol, then, that the negotiations are to be renewed—that terms may be dictated to which the AUTOCRAT must submit, although far more onerous than those which he so contumeliously rejected when sug gested by a mediator. When his fleets and arsenals have been destroyed, and the Black Sea, in place of being a Russian lake, is thrown open not merely to the merchant vessels, but to the men-of-war of every nation— when his troops have been expelled from Asia, and the Crimea is in the hands of his adversaries, his pride will be humbled, and he will yield to sad necessity. He will find that the concealed friendship of Austria is no more capable of saving him from the consequences of his own misdeeds than the avowed nepotism of Prussia. The fiat has gone forth, and, insane and impious as he is in some respects, he must himself be con scious of the truth. He may harden his heart against the fall of Bomarsund, but that of Sebas topol will inflict a " heavy blow and great dis couragement" on his pride--one, indeed, that must prove irresistible, inasmuch as it will de prive him for a long succession of years of carrying out his nefarious views against the possessions of the man no longer " sick," but restored to the plenitude of health and strength. Such a " ma terial guarantee" will be worth all the merely moral obligations or verbal pledges that could be imposed. The CZAR has proved beyond the pos sibility of doubt, that the most unblushing men dacity is one of his characteristics, and that if his interests require it, he is ready not merely to quibble away the intent and meaning of any document, but, if necessary, to deny its efficacy. His treaties would not, in fact, be worth the paper on which they were engrossed, unless we rendered him incapable of violating their provisions. With Sebastopol dismantled, and the Black Sea Fleet destroyed, it is clear that he could done more against his Moslem neighbours. We fancy, too, that, ere long, we shall have something to record from the Baltic, and that the capture of Bomarsund and the blowing up of flange will not be the only results of the operations of the combined forces in that quarter. Should this be the case, as we hope and trust it will be, the season will not have passed uselessly away. The energy and activity displayed at its close will have amply compensated for the apathy so justly complained of during the earlier months. which they clung to their verdict of acquittal, he has been ordered to leave the service, of which he is considered unworthy to be a member. Here, then, in two of the three cases, the authorities at the Horse Guards manifested their unqualified disapproval of the conduct and proceedings of these model tribunals. It would have been well for the reputation of the Commander-in-Chief had he acted similarly on the third trial. PERRY was, however, to be sacrificed ; and, therefore, overlooking the mani fest inconsistency of finding him guilty on one point, and not guilty on another, resting on pre cisely the same evidence, pro and con, he approves the "finding and sentence on military grounds ;" putting forward the statement that "no command ing officer could be safe in the discharge of his duties, if inferior officers could with impunity make accusations similar to those of which Lieut. PERRY has been found guilty." There is nothing in this of the falsehood of the accusations. It was, indeed, simply the fact of putting forward any complaints. That was enough to condemn ; and it was too bad to carry on the farce of a trial for sixteen days, when the result was already " a foregone conclusion." The matter, however, cannot rest here. Many months must elapse before the re-assembling of Parliament, but we believe, notwithstanding the extent of the military element, that there is enough of independence in both Houses to insure a stringent investigation into all the circumstances of the case, and such an improvement of the con stitution and procedure of Courts-martial as will render the system more in accordance with the spirit of the age, and better calculated to promote the administration of substantial justice. LATEST NEWS. THE WAR. THE PRINCIPALITIES. Our latest telegraphic despatches are as follow : EVACUATION OF MOLDAVIA . We have advices from Bucharest to the 2d inst. Reports had been received from the Russian head-quarters to the effect that renewed orders had been given for the immediate evacuation of Mol davia. The delay which has taken place, in obe dience to superior orders, is now to cease. General Apeman, of the Austrian service, ar rived at Bucharest on the Ist inst. Letters from Jassy, to the 4th, state that General Prince Gortschakon head-quarters were at Teknez. The Moldavian militia had been forcibly incor porated into the Russian troops. This had caused great indignation among the people. A medical correspondent at Bucharest speaks as follows of the Russian hospital system :-- "The number of Russian sick and dead was always great. Every patient who entered the hospital was con sidered a lost man. This persuasion did not arise from a knowledge of the careless treatment of tie patients, or of their abominable food, but from the circumstance of there being a magazine for the dead in the rayon of each hospital. This is a necessary appendix to a Russian military hospital, because the dead are not buried sepa rately. The corpses are carried to a room, stable, or warehouse, and, according to the size of the place, lie there six, eight, or ten days until it is full. The cause of this custom is not a little singular. The director of the military hospital charges the State for the food, medicine, &c., of the defunct soldier up to the day, not of his death, but of his burial, when he is officially struck off the sick list." The Lloyd of Vienna has the following from Jassy, dated the 27th ult. :—" The Russians are slowly withdrawing their troops from the Austrian frontier, and taking up a position on the Sereth. Nearly all the small places are evacuated. Troops are always passing through the town, going to wards the Pruth. The line from Ibrail to Fok chani, and from that place to Titenie, is occupied militarily by the Russians. The news of the ill treatment of the Wallachian militia by the Rus sians has produced a great sensation here." nance of such a host for more than a few short months." At Sebastopol a great number of prisoners taken from the fortresses aro to serve the port batteries. A gang of 200 convicts in irons will convey ammu nition to them. have reached the terminus before instead of after the time appointed for starting. RECALL OF THE RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR. A Vienna letter, of the 31st ult., in the Augs burg Gazette, says :—" Letters of recall of the Rus sian Ambassador of Vienna, Baron. de Meyendorff, arrived yesterday. He is to arrive here on Sun day from , Gastien to present his letters, and to return to St. Petersburg. Prince Gortschakoff will then occupy the hotel of the Russian embassy. The obsequies of Baron Wimpffern, who died lately, took place to-day with military honours. Several archdukes, all the generals at present at Vienna, and the body guard of the Emperor were present. By his death the number of Austrian marshals is reduced to five, viz,—the Archduke John, Count Radetzky, Count Nugent, Prince Windischgratz, and Prince Paskiewitch. The deceased was cap tain of the Emperor's body guards. ' Count Wratis law, it is thought, will succeed him." A letter from Berlin, dated the 2d, says—" The President of the Council, M. de Manteuffel, has returned from Putbus ; at the time of his departure from that place the arrival of the Count de Benken dorff had not been made known. The count deli vered personally to the King at Putbus the auto graph letter of the Emperor Nicholas. As to the note of the Count de Nesselrode, he deli vered it to the Russian consul at Stettin, by whom it was brought to Berlin, and delivered at the Russian embassy for Baron de Bud berg. The baron, who was at Tharand, near Dresden, with his family, was summoned here by telegraph, and to-day had a long audi ence with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, to whom he delivered the note in ques tion. In addition to the known points of the note, Russia therein formally demands th a t P russ i a shall make herself the mediator, in order to reopen negotiations on the basis of the propositions as in terpreted and modified by Russia. The Austrian ambassador, M d'Esterhazy, waited on the Presi= dent of the Council yesterday evening, soon after the return of the latter. He was not, however, re ceived, although it. is well known that several other persons had interviews with the minister. This circumstance has given rise to numerous com ments. It is supposed that the President of the Council wished to be first acquainted with the contents of the Russian note, in order that his con duct towards the Austrian ambassador might be guided thereby." The Press of Vienna states that on the evening of the Ist the subscription to the Austrian loan had reached the amount of 492 millions. THE REVIEW AT ST. OMER. ST. OILER, Wednesday Evening, Eight o'Clock. —His Majesty the Emperor and his Royal High ness Prince Albert reviewed the troops to-day in the Plains de Bruyeres. The review was a most brilliant spectacle, and the Royal party were re ceived with great cheering by a large crowd. All the French Generals were presented to Prince Albert, who, in addressing them, expressed great satisfaction at the appearance and discipline of the troops, and his hope for a continued entente cordiale between the two nations. The Royal party then returned to Boulogne. Another review is appointed for Thursday at Honvault. THE KING OF PORTUGAL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In your journal this evening I read that you " cannot perceive any adequate reason for the speedy and unexpected departure of the King of Portugal," and then you give some suggestions as to the reason for his short stay at Boulogne. Having only returned from that place to-day, you will not, I trust, think it presumptuous in me if I tell you that the reason there given for the brief sojourn of the King of Portugal, is that some little difficulty is said to have arisen on points of etiquette with respect to the King of Portugal and our Prince Consort ; and that as the Emperor wished all the honours to be enjoyed by the repre sentative of this country (now the ally, thank Heaven, of La Belle France), some understanding was come to upon the subject.—Yours obediently, Sept. 6. A READER. COURT CIRCULAR. The Earl of Aberdeen arrived in town on Tuesday from a visit to her Majesty at Osborne. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office from the Governors of Hong-Kong, Ceylon, the Cape of Good Hope, the Mauritius, Malta, and the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO BALMORAL—It iS now det finitively arranged that her Majesty and the royal family will proceed from London to Edinburgh, en route for Balmoral, on Thursday, the 14th inst. The Royal party will travel from the metropolis to Edinburgh, via the main line of the Great Northern Railway to York, and thence forward by the usual route. The only stoppage between London and York will he to change engines at Doncaster, where no doubt a great number of the race visitors at that, town will be anxious, if permitted, to obtain a glimpse of and offer their acclamations to her Majesty. Iler Majesty will on this occasion pass over the main line of the Great Northern, between Peterborough and Retford, for the first time, having on her former journey by the Great Northern route in 1851, before the main line was completed, been conveyed by way of the Lincolnshire loop. The Royal train will consist of the Great Northern Company's suite of state earriag6, with two or three ordinary first-class carriages for the attendants, and is expected to leave King's•cross station between 8 and 9 a.m., and arrive at Edinburgh between 5 and 6 p.m. PRINCE ALBERT'S VISIT TO BOULOGNE.--The Moni tear in its record of the events of Tuesday last at Boulogne, says :—" The Emperor, as an act of special courtesy ( par tine courtesie speciale), went to meet his Royal Highness Prince Albert. The Prince hastened to descend from his yacht, and advanced towards the Emperor, who shook his hand affectionately (qui lui a serr6 affecteusement la maim.) The weather was splendid, the crowd immense, and the enthusiasm universal. PRINCE ALBERT.—The Town Council of Aberdeen, at a meeting held on Monday last, on the motion of the Lord Provost, unanimously and very cordially resolved o communicate with his Royal Highness Prince Albert, hrough the proper channel, requesting the consent of the Prince to have his portrait painted, in order to its being placed in the town hall of that city. The Lord Provost, as did also Mr. Webster, a councillor, warmly eulogised the Prince for his many illustrious qualities, referring also in particular to the connection of his Royal Highness with the county of Aberdeen, in which, as is generally known, the highland residence of the Court, Balmoral, is situate. Allusion was also made to the practical interest manifested by the Queen and Prince Albert in the charitable and other institutions of the city. The council voted fifty guineas, to head a list of subscrip tions in the town and county of Aberdeen, to carry out the object, and appointed a committee to make arrange. ments. The portrait of her Majesty is already in the town Hall at Aberdeen, and that of the Prince—should his Royal Highness accede to the request—will form a companion to it. It will, no doubt, be painted by our chief Scottish artist, Sir J. Watson Gordon. The por trait of the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord-Lieutenant of the county, is also in the town hall of that city, having also been painted by subscription as a mark of respect. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston have been stay ing the last few days with Sir Augustus and Lady Clif ford, at their delightful marine residence in the Isle of Wight. Lord Brougham is entertaining a small party at Brougham Hall. The noble and learned lord is expected to leave for his chateau in the south of France early in the ensuing month. Sir Edwin Landseer is at present visiting the Hon. Mrs. Mackenzie, of Seaforth, at Brahan Castle. On Wednesday, along with several gentlemen, also at Bra han Castle, Sir Edwin enjoyed a day's sport among the favourite subjects of his pencil—the Highland red deer, when five fine specimens were brought to the ground. THE NEW ACT ON RAILWAY AND CANAL £RAFFIC.— Amongst the acts passed in the late session was one for the better regulation of the traffic on railways and canals. By this act the Court of Common Pleas is empowered to determine such matters, and at the end of the present vacation the court will make rules on the subject. NEW ACT FOR THE AUGMENTATION OF BENEFICES. On the 10th ult., an act was passed to extend the pro visions of the act for the augmentation of benefices. The provisions and powers of former acts are extended, so that they may be exercised by incumbents, although only part of the district be within the limits of the bene fice. THE CASE OF LIEUTENANT PERRY.—A penny sub scription in aid of the refuge fund for Lieutenant Perry, of the 46th Regiment, has been commenced in Builth, and the example, no doubt, will be followed by every town in the principality—not so much in regard to the amount that may be raised as to mark the public feeling in favour of this persecuted young officer. COURT-MARTIAL ON A WOMAN.—We perceive that a woman has been tried by court-martial at Neemuch. The occurrence is almost unprecedented in India. The accused is a camp follower, and was charged with re ceiving stolen property. The native court-martial found her guilty, and sentenced her to imprisonment with hard labour for one year. In India, under the ordinary law, we do not sentence women to hard labour.—Friend of India. SEIZURE OF AN EXTENSIVE ILLICIT STlLL.—Yesterday morning, from information received at the Inland Re venue offices, the officers proceeded to a house in Rose street, Brick-lane, St. Luke's, when finding the house closed they knocked, but could not gala admittance. Shortly afterwards they proceeded to break open the door, and while so engaged they heard the sound of people going up the stairs. Upon gaining admission the officers proceeded up stairs, and found two young men, one dressed in the garb of a sailor, in the act of putting on their coats, and having taken them into custody, they found that their arms were covered with molasses wash, and also recognised the one in the sailor's clothes as having been sent to prison several times for the same offence. The prisoners denied that there was anything wrong going on in the house, but upon the officers searching the lower part, they found a very large copper still in full work, about 120 gallons of molasses, several gallons of epirits. considerably over proof,, and all the utensils necessary for carrying on a very extensive busi ness. The goods were at once seized and taken to the Excise Office. The men were locked up at the Olerken` ' well Police Court. ARRIVAL OF ISMAIL PACHA. The Lloyd of Vienna of the 2d says :—" A letter from Bucharest, 30th ult., states that an aide-de-camp of Ismail Pacha had just arrived there, and announced that, the Turkish troops, who had crossed the Danube at Kalarach, passed the Buseo on the 24th, and that their advanced guard was within two days' march of Ibrail. On the 20th, a detachment of the flotilla, which had on board some Egyptian infantry and cavalry, went from Hirsova towards Ibrail to make a reconnais sance, and had proceeded almost as far as Matchin, beyond Dojan. It was only above Matchin that they saw any batteries of the enemy. The force not being strong enough to make an attack retired, after firing a few shots, which were returned by the Russians. A rather smart skirmish took place on the 20th, near Mosest on the Buseo, between a de tachment of Cossacks and some Turkish outposts. A letter from Galatz of the 24th states that Prince Gortschakoff, who had been on a tour of inspec tion in Moldavia, was expected there about 15th Sept. Some conferences have been held between Omer Pacha and the commanders of the Anglo- French and Austrian troops, as to the arrangements which will be made relative to the Wallachian militia after the Austrian occupation. The,question is to know whether they will be under the control of the Austrian .commander, or be actively em ployed in the operations which may be carried on in order to retake Bessarabia, that province having, until 1842, formed part of Moldavia. It is said that France and England are in favour of the former plan. CONSTANTINOPLE. We have dates from Constantinople to the 28th ultimo. Notice has been given to the contractors for army and navy supplies that they are not to deliver any supply of provisions off Sebastol. The Duke of Cambridge and Prince Napoleon are convalescent. It is reported that a serious rebellion ha broken out in the pachaliks of Karien, Mentesche, and Aides ; and that the authorities of those places were some of them murdered and some driven away. The cholera is diminishing at Varna, but increas ing at Adrianople. These accounts state that Said Pacha, the new Viceroy of Egypt, has been solemnly instituted. EXPEDITION TO T.HE CRIMEA. The expedition to the Crimea was to be under taken on the Ist of September. Marshal St. Arnaud had issued an order of the day, dated Varna, August 25, acquainting the troons that the destination of the expedition was the Crimea ; and that the duty of the allied forces would be to take Sebastopol as a pledge of peace. The flags of the three Powers, says the order, will soon be greeted on the walls of Sebastopol with cries of " Vive l'Empereur !" Prince Napoleon does not improve so rapidly as could be desired. On the 21st he had another attack of fever, and, though now better, is still far from being able to undertake active service. The climate is said not to agree with his constitution, although ho will no doubt remain and share the glory which may fall to the lot of his countrymen. Lord do Ros is still at Buyukdere. General Cator, in command of the artillery, is disabled at Therapia, whore also are Colonels Doyle and Le Marchant, and a number of inferior officers. The Governor of Cyprus has issued a circular to the mercantile houses of the island, warning them not to sign contracts for the delivery of corn, as the Sublime Porte may find it necessary to prohibit the exportation of that article, in order to provide for the wants of the armies. TREBIZOND, AUGUST 22. The communication with the Persian frontier has been re-established. No particulars are given. THE BLACK. SEA. We have just received the following telegraphic despatch : VIENNA, Thursday Morning. —The Fremden Bladtt has advices from Galatz of the Ist, according to which a considerable number of the French and English gun boats entered the Sulina mouth of the Danube on the 31st of August. Another flotilla of gun boats will enter the Kilia mouth of the Danube. It is asserted that the Russians have destroyed all the fire-engines and other requisites for ex tinguishing a conflagration at Odessa, Reni, Brailow, Galatz, and Ismail, with the intention of setting fire to these important towns should they be forced to abandon them. According to the Presse the Russian forces in Asia had fallen back as far as Erivan, after sacking Bayazid. The Debats says All the accounts which we have of late received from the Black Sea agree in declaring that the cholera, which had made so vio lent an irruption in the ranks of the army of the East, had declined with a rapidity which could scarcely have been hoped for. Fresh information, which reached us yesterday, enables us to affirm that the amelioration which has taken place in the sanitary state of the allied armies continues, and in creases every day by the happy influence exercised over the mind of the troops by , the prospect of being soon in the face of the enemy. The Odessa Gazette, of the 25th ult., contains a decree of the Russian Government, granting the Exequatur to the Chevalier Cischim, the Austrian consul-general at that place. On the 24th the two large Paixhans guns which were taken out of the Tiger were tried at Odessa. At the fourth shot one of the guns burst, killing one artilleryman and seriously wounding another. The mischief would have been considerable if the piece had been pointed horizontally instead of vertically. The governor general, Annenkoff, and a number of other officers were present. The accounts from Varna are to the 26th On the 23d a small Russian steamer, which was on a cruise was chased by an English frigate , but succeeded in getting into Odessa. The com manders of the ships of the French and English squadron have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to sail at a moment's notice from the 1 26th." SEBASTOPOL. We extract the following from a letter just re ceived :—" Sebastopol is likely to prove very diffe rent "rein St. Jean d'Alloa or St. Jean d'Acre, from Ghuznee or Moultan. Such fortresses as Valetta or Gibraltar, with their 5,000 or 6,000 men, may bo provisioned for years ; but such a course is im possible in the case of an army of 70,000 men, de fending a range of positions of large extent, and enclosing the population of a large naval town, and the crews of an imprisoned fleet. At least 100,000 souls are encircled by the fot titications of Sebasto pol, and what is known of the resources and, the conimissariat of Russia does not lead us to suppose that the Government can have supplied the suste- THE BALTIC. DANTZIC, Thursday.—The Fulton, with Gene rals Baraguay d'Hilliers and Niel on board, arrived here last night. All the B - omarsund forts have been destroyed, and the troops embarked. Some steam-frigates remained among the islands. THE BALTIC FLEET. AUGUST 18.—Much disappointment has not only been felt but expressed by the people of England at the apparAit inactivity of the allied fleets iu the Baltic. Their presence, however, on the coasts of Russia, although not resulting in the conquest of Helsingfors or Cronstadt, has inflicted a heavy blow on the internal resources of the enemy. The trade by sea, both in the Gulfs of Finland and Bothnia, has been completely stopped by the effective blockade of the seaports. Scarcely a vessel, even of the smallest size, has ventured out of harbour without being intercepted by the crui sers of the allies. A vast quantity of salt, a most important article of commerce to the Russians, has been seized, and has become so scarce that the price has increased sevenfold. To the poorer classes this will cause great privations during the ap proaching winter, especially to those inhabiting the northern coast of the Gulf of Finland, whose chief subsistence depends on the fish they preserve to wards the close of the summer season, but which at the present time they will be unable to do, in consequence of the great scarcity and high price of the sole article necessary to the curative process. Many invidious remarks have been made against the gallant officer to whom the command of the mighty fleet in the Baltic has been intrusted, be cause he has exercised a wise discretion in not risking the crippling, if not total destruction, of many of the ships under his orders in the futile attempt to destroy the formidable batterieS of S wea borg and Cronstadt. It has been asserted that, during the last war, our wooden walls proved suf ficiently powerful to cope successfully with for tresses of the strongest construction ; and that such a circumstance as impregnability was never .ad mated, nor even entertained. But how few, if any, instances in former times can be adduced in support of such a statement, or can be brought forward as parallel cases to those of the present day ? The siege of Algiers may be cited ; but it is universally allowed, except by prejudiced per sons, that, had the enemy held out, our fleet would have been vanquished. Again, at the battle of Copenhagen, half-a-century ago, the victory by the British was obtained at a great sacrifice of life, no less than 1,200 of our seamen having been killed, principally by the guns of the Crown batteries. Sir Charles Napier may possibly, in deed most probably will, return to England on the approach of winter without having effected the destruction of the granite batteries which defend the ports of Helsingfors and Cronstadt. Never theless, he will have accomplished much, if not all that was possible up to the present time. He has prevented the much-talked-of powerful fleet of the Russians leaving their harbours ; he has paralysed throughout the entire coast of Finland on the north, and Russia Proper on the south, the enemy's com merce by sea, thereby entailing upon his subjects the heavy expenses of transporting supplies over land, and the consequent great increase in the price of the necessary articles of subsistence has taken place. In every portion of the Baltic seas num bers of trading vessels—many having valuable cargoes—have been captured by the English cruis ers; munitions of war, a vast quantity of ships' stores, & - c., in the Gulf of Bothnia have been destroyed; and by the aid of the land forces of France, a firm footing has been effected at Bomarsund by the oc cupation of ono of its fortresses, and the reduction of the others are about to follow. Surely these advantages cannot be deemed unimportant, or being otherwise than propitious to the cause in which the allied Powers have embarked, and which they are determined to conduct to a successful issue. Moreover, the present season has afforded Sir Charles Napier an opportunity of becoming personally acquainted e ith the actual strength of the enemy's natural defences, the difficulties of the navigation of the seas, and the forces requisite for future successful operations. No doubt can be en tertained that in, the ensuing year—should the Em peror of All the Russias madly persist in carrying on the war—by the co-operation of an adequate number of land forces, Helsingfors, Cronstadt, and St. Petersburg will in succession fall into the, hands of the allied Powers. Preparations have been made on board the Nep tune, 120, for the reception of Rear-Admiral Plumridge, who, it is generally supposed, will hoist his flag on board that ship as second senior officer of the English division of the fleet. In this case Rear-Admiral Martin, recently promoted to flag rank, would be removed to the Leopard, having under his immediate orders that portion of the fleet denominated " the flying :squadron." Up to the present date these arrangements have not talen place, in consequence, it is stated, of Rear- Admiral Martin being averse to leave so fine a ship as the Nile, 91, the accommodations of which are vastly superior to those of the paddle-wheel steam-frigate Leopard. The Penelope, 16; Capt. Callin, proceeds this evening to Aland, and thence probably to England to make up the deficiencies iu her armament caused by the throwing overboard of the greater portion of her guns when on shore off Bomarsund. RUSSIA. DEFENSIVE PRECAUTIONS IN THE SOUTH. The letters just to hand from the south of Russia mention that the Russians have thrown a bridge of boats across the Dnieper, with the view appa rently of facilitating the transfer of masses of troops withdrawn from the Danubian Principalities to the Crimea, now threatened by the allies. This bridge of boats has caused the accumulation of a large num ber of craft laden with linseed and other produce, which are prevented from pursuing their voyage down the river to the Russian ports on the Black Sea. On the 27th ult. there was a thanksgiving ser vice at Warsaw for the victory gained by Prince Bebutoff over the Anatolian army. The inspector general of the Russian army, M. Pogodin, has re turned from Jassy. The movement of troops from Poland to Podolia continues. The Hetman of the mobile Cossacks, Lieutenant-General Kuschnekoff, has returned to Warsaw from the Cossack camp at Kielce. ______. Russian agents, disguised as Bedouins, have been arrested at Damascus. AUSTRIA. Our telegraphic despatches received this morn ing are as follow :-- VIENNA, Wednesday evening.—A Cabinet Coun cil was held to-day, at which the Emperor Francis Joseph presided. It was decided that the rejection by Russia of the guarantees required by the Western Powers, through Austria, does not amount to a casus belli. Austria, however, will persevere in supporting the said guarantees, as necessary for the restoration of peace, and for the maintenance of the balance of power ; and in the meantime she will await the result of the operations undertaken by the allied Powers against Sebastopol. Austria, for the present, is satisfied with having maintained a strict neutrality. VIENNA, SEPT. 3. The Lloyd taking it for granted that all prospects of an amicable arrangement with Russia are now at an end, congratulates the world, and Germany in particular, on the fortunate turn which things have taken. It has long been felt that an a r m e d neutra lity is more unbearable than an open war. An armed neutrality is a dead weight ; it brings with it no enthusiasm, as neither victories nor advantages are possible. The Vienna writer, who is of opinion that if unity of purpose is to be hoped for in Germany it must be brought about by actions instead of negotiations, says "If Austria boldly unfurls her banner against Russia, a feeling of shame, if not of honour, will perhaps induce the Confederation to join her, and, besides, public opinion, which in times of peace is often heavy and sluggish,- becomes a power at such a critical moment as the present." When the diplo matists have retired from the field, and permitted the men of the sword to take the lead, then, and then only, there will be a prospect of obtaining an honourable and durable peace. The Wiener Zeitung yesterday contained two Vinisterial edicts relative to the loan. By the first we learn that as the subscriptions amount to More than 450,006,00011., the instalments are to be paid in five years instead of four, as would have been the case if less than that sum had been raised. - Something nci;t - have gone wrong at Court yes terday, as the intended journey of the Archduchess Sophia to Dresden was suddenly put off. Accord ing to order, the special train was in waiting at 5 o'clock, bu; - , a few minutes later a message was sent that it would not be wanted. The Court is so ex tremely punctual, that if the resolution not to leave Vienna had not been suddenly taken, the notice that the train would not be required would PRUSSIA. A letter, dated the 2d, in the Journal de Franc fort, says : "The New Prussian Gazette, in questioning the neces sity of military action on the part of Prussia in favour of German interests, wastes a deal of argument in proving the inexpediency of what nobody asks Prussia to do, namely, of taking up the offensive against Russia. All we ask of Prussia, is the fulfilment of the stipulations of the treaty of offensive and defensive alliance, in case Rus sia were to attack the Austrian territory. In this case, Prussia, as well as the Germanic Confederation, would be bound to aid Austria, but not, as the New Prussian Ga zette says, ' to employ all her fcirces in acting simultane ously against Warsaw and Riga, and resisting the chief shock of the Russians.' It is difficult to suppose that, in case Prussia were to aid Austria within the limits only of the convention of the 20th of April, Russia should turn all her forces against her, and it would be, by the way, com mitting a great strategical error to make a Prussian army operate against Riga, before the Russians had evacuated Poland. Moreover, the New Prussian Gazette reasons just as if there were not an Austrian army in Z4allicia, and as if all were to be accomplished by the Prussian army alone. This journal supposes that the whole Austria army of the East would operate in the plains be tween the Pruth and the Dnieper, and that the Prussians would be charged with all the rest. On the contrary, in case Prussia should join Austria unreservedly, a common plan of campaign would be acted on. We venture even to affirm that if Austria and Prussia were allies, as to be de sired, Russia would perceive the necessity of discontinu ing the war ; for what renders serious ideas of peace foreign to the Russian Cabinet is precisely the circum stance that Prussia shows herself undecided.—The New Prussian, Gazette also says that 'Under the most favour able circumstances Prussia would come out of a war with Russia completely exhausted, and would be for a long time out of a condition to exert her influence in a decisive manner." This allegation reposes on an intentional ex aggeration of the strength of Russia, whilst the New Prussian Gazette thinks, and believes that France might without hesitation be brought to reason by a war. I❑ face of a people so enthusiastic for military glory as the brave Prussians, we would not publish such an article as that of the New Prussian Gazette of the 30th ult. That article points out the fear which the power of Rus sia inspires as the motive of the inaction of Prussia. The Austrians are convinced that, with the aid of the Prussians, we should bring Rrussia to reason." SARDINIA. TURIN, Sept. I.—The Pro-Minister of Finances for the. Papal States, Signor Galli, has just pub lished his report on the general account of the pub lic administration for the year 1852, and on the general balance to the 31st of December of the same year. _ _ The expenditure in the above year amounted to 5c.14,111,384 17, thus exceeding the income by 5c.1,821.,332 47. The cases of cholera in Piedmont continue to de cline generally, though there were a few more cases in Genoa the day before yesterday, which was at tributed to a pilgrimage the day previous to the shrine of the " Madonna della Guardia," which is at the height of 5,000 feet above the sea, and, the day having been excessively hot, no doubt some of the crowd who made the ascent may have suffered from the rapid change of temperature thus encoun tered. The Piedmontese Gazette announces that a postal convention has been entered into between Pied. mont and the Swiss Confederation. GREECE. Telegraphic despatches have been received from Athens, to the 2cl inst. They state that the commander of the French troops now in Greece insists upon their removal to Athens, from their present location, as 1,000 men have died of cholera. The Ministry was endeavouring to re-establish relations with Turkey, and a further term had been fixed for the free navigation of Greek merchant vessels in Turkish waters. CORFU, Sept. 6.—The lonian Parliament has been prorogued till the 18th March. From Athens we learn that the King positively refuses any indemnity to Turkey. FRANCE. The leading columns 9f the Paris journals con tinue to be without much interest. About half of them fill the portion usually assigned to original articles with resumes of the foreign news, and in the others the topics discussed have no novelty. The Debats analyses at great length the official report of the Savings Banks for 1853, which was published some time ago, and notices the falling off in the deposits and the augmentation of the dis bursements. There is a long article in the Constitutionnel on the duty of Germany on the Eastern question, but this topic has been so much discussed already that it was impossible for the writer to start a new point. The Siecle notices in a few lines some remarks of a contemporary on what it called a contradiction by facts, as regards the attitude of Germany, to the arguments of that journal. The Siecle replies that it has pursued an undeviating policy on the Eastern question, and has never varied in its opi nion as to what Germany was bound to do by in terest and honour.. If, it says, the acts of Germany are not in harmony with its declarations, that is not the fault of the Siecle, but when it shall have seen Austria draw the sword for something more than the static quo ante bellum, it will be the first to express satisfaction. • By a decree in the Moniteur Generals of Brigade F.

Mr. Duncan appeared to-day in support of a summons obtained a few days since, and which was reported in The Sun, with respect to a valuable model which had been prepared by the bankrupt, and which had been ex hibited at the Crystal Palace. It was afterwards taken surreptitiously to France, but returned by the authori ties on the ground that it belonged to the assignees—the law of France thus recognising the bankruptcy laws of England. The only question is as to whom it belongs, Mr. Ommaney, an army and navy agent, claiming alien on it, and it still remains at the CustOM-house, London. The examination was very lengthened, and adjourned. FIRE IN BACKVILLE-STREET, PICCADILLY -- A FEMALE BURNT-(THIS DAY.) This morning, between the hours of one and two o'clock, a fire of a most alarming character broke out at Miss Elizabeth Morton's lodging-house, No. 19, Sack ville-street, Piccadilly, and it is much feared will be at tended with loss of life. The inmates were aroused by the most piercing shrieks for help issuing from the back room ground floor, who, on entering it, were horrified at finding Miss E. Morton wrapped in one body of fire. An alarm was immediately raised, when the police on duty were despatched for the engines, which promptly' arrived from King's-street, Clarendon-street, and Well . street, followed by the parish engines. In the meantime Miss Morton was extricated from her frightful situation, and the flames extinguished. Evert assistance was afforded by some medical gentlemen re'. siding in the house ; but such are the extensive injori e6 Miss Morton has received that .not the slightest hope; and entertained of.her recovery. The fire was caused by a candle setting fire to 0 6 furniture while Miss Morton was reading in bed. MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.) HAY MARKETS.

In Devonshire it is uirogoeal with much truth, that, as the price of grain in t iler 9 r ' as well as London markets is from 12s. to 15s. Pe r l i er lower than it was a few weeks since, the consul% ought to be benefited by a corresponding diminution the puce of his loaf.
