The interesting despatch from General BARA., GUAM D'HILLIERS, which appeared in our impres sion of yesterday, proves, beyond the possibility of doubt or difficulty, the vast importance of the re cent exploit accomplished by the allied forces in the Baltic. The great value of the Aland Isles as an offensive position, from which lie could securely threaten neighbouring nations, had not been over looked by the AUTOCRAT. He clearly perceived its Wonderful capabilities, and determined to spare no exertions or money to render it impregnable. An advanced " Cronstadt," in fact, commanding the Gulfs of Bothnia and Finland, and the entire Baltic, under conditions, as the French Admiral PARSEVAL DESCHENES declares, " far superior to those at Cronstadt or Sweaborg." Hence lie could menace Sweden, Norway, Denmark (to the sove reignty whereof he was already looking forward), and a portion of Prussia. It would also, when his gigantic conception had been carried into practical execution, serve as a defensive out post, that would sustain the brunt of the first attack, and, so far, delay—if it did not altogether baffle its assailants, as to pre vent any further injury being inflicted on the Russian possessions during the brief interval of a northern summer. That these anticipations were by no means exaggerated may easily be conceived from a consideration of its geographical position, in reference to the Baltic and both the gulfs, and also from the following graphic description by the French General of its local advantages. He says The Isle of Aland is broken up in the direc tion of north and south, by arms of the sea which penetrate into the land, and in which there are thus thrown a number of lakes which, joined to gether by converging streams, permit almost the entire isolation of some points of the isle. Thus, in leaving Bomarsund, that fortress, situated on the edge of the sea, has behind it an arm of the sea and two lakes or marshes, which defend the approaches to it. To this first enciente, or natu ral defence, there is joined a second of a more extensive radius, which reaches to Castlehom, rims from thence to Siby, and there unites with the sea, by a tongue of land of small extent, and easy to hold." Here, then, was an opportunity of establishing Russian power on the most solid foundation—of creating an "impregnable" fortification, which could resist the most formidable onslaught, and prove to the fool-hardy assailants that, in attacking " the god of the Russians," they were merely imitating the foolish animal that destroyed its teeth in " biting against a file "—of proving by the most conclusive testimony, the vis inertice, or resisting power of granite, and the utter hopeless ness of any attempt, however potent, against the combined strength of nature and art. Under such circumstances, can we wonder at the magnitude of the conception of the modern the would-be conqueror of the " civilised," aye, and of the " uncivilised," world ? We can easily credit the statement of General BARAGUAY D 'EtILLIEEs, that " The intention of the Emperor of Russu was to make Bomarsund one immense entrenched camp for his militaryand naval forces, to the first of which there were great obstacles, and which had been a c onstant menace to the neighbouring states of the Baltic. After obtaining possession of the Isles of Aland, Russia has not ceased to augment the fortifications of Bomarsund ; and if, from that which exists and that which was in course of execution, we may judge of the projects of that power, Bomarsund appeared destined to become the advanced sen port of Russia in the tinel and the principal Baltic." It is true that his wishes had not been altoge ther carried out. Bomarsund had not as yet at tained the rank of a first-rate or quasi im pregnable fortress. But we may learn from the following account how far it had progressed towards it. We are told that "Bomarsund, ivith the three towers which formed its advanced posts, included a garrison of 2,400 men ; it was armed with 180 pieces of cannon, and was sup plied with a considerable amount of provisions." Such preparation would, at all events, when the strong holds were garrisoned by gallant defenders, I insure a protracted resistance, and serious, if not ruinous, losses to the assailants, before the Bus- Sian standard would be lo7ered to any foe ; and . I . ho salutary lesson thus tau g ht vrpu i d preserve H a ne l and svreaborg, and Oronstadt from any appearance of, or attempt at, attack. Where an infe ei.or fortress had inflicted so much damage on the enemy, it would be little better than mad ness to encounter the still more potent dfences of these strongholds. But the futility of these calm alations have been made too clearly apparent for even the Russians themselves to indulge any Ilonger in these flattering illusions. They have seen how speedily and completely their boasted walls of granite crumbled to the earth before the bombardment _of the Allies, when France and England " Both conjointly bent Their battering cannon, charged to the mouths, Till then soul-fearing clamours had brawled down The flinty ribs of that contemptuous city." This lesson, if painful, will also be salutary. It will teach the CZAR that he must humble him self to the level of ordinary humanity, and make reparation to those whom he has so deeply in jured at any sacrifice of pride. General BARAGITAY D'llturEs declares—" The - destruction of Bomar sund will be a considerable loss for Russia, not less in a material sense than in a moral aspect. We have destroyed in eight days the prestige attaching to those ramparts of granite, which cannon, it was said, could not overcome. We know now, we cannot doubt it, that there is nothing in those fortifications, so fine and so menacing, which is not at the mercy of a well directed fire." The result of this instruction is already known. It appears that the Russians have not awaited the attack on Hango, but at the very approach of the Fleet have blown up their fortifications and retired on Abo. There we must follow them, if the commanders should not deem it more advisable to follow up their first successes more rapidly, and aim the next blow at Sweaborg, or even at Cron stadt itself. Under any circumstances, the clear intimation of the value of the feat accomplished must prove as satisfactory to ourselves as it is injurious and humiliating to the Northern Despot. It is now certain that Prince ALBERT will pay a friendly visit to the French EMPEROR at Boulogne. The horses and servants of his Royal Highness have already arrived, and also the Guard of Honour by which he is to be attended during his sojourn amongst his good friends and allies. This is as it should be, and we only regret that we have to announce that "the fair MAJESTY of ENGLAND" will not accompany her Princely Consort on this first interchange of social compliments. We have long since indicated the benefits to be de rived from such an interchange of civilities. "Louis NAPOLEON," the chosen ruler of France, the se lected of Eight Millions of Electors, has afforded the most conclusive testimony of his good faith towards Europe, and more especially towards England. Much as he must have felt the virulent and wanton attacks directed against him as Candidate—as President—and as Empe ror—when of the English Press " The Sun" stood almost alone in rendering justice to the illustrious object of these disgraceful libels —he yet suffered no personal feelings to induce any degree of hesitation when called on to sup port the cause of truth and justice. He has had the noblest revenge, by exhibiting, in the strongest light, the unmitigated falsehood of the accusations that were so recklessly preferred. By the power of his intellect, and the vigour and energy of his actions, he has erected his throne on the most substantial and most enduring basis —the respectful esteem and affectionate loyalty of his people. He has also earned golden opinions from England and the English ; so that those who, in their undue prejudice, were prepared to curse, are now willing to bless. We wish, then, to see friendly relations not merely between the peoples, but also between the rulers, of France and England, and we rejoice at this timely visit of the Prince Consort as only the precursor of many such friendly meetings, that will draw more closely together and firmly ce ment the alliance now subsisting, and render it, in fact, as well as in name, an "cnteinte cordiale." NOT is Prince ALBERT to be the only Royal visitor to the EMPEROR. It would almost seem that a " Coburg Congress" was intended, for we also find a visit announced from the King of the BELGIANS, the " Nestor of the family," and one from its rising hope the "Neoptolemus" of POR TUGAL. We trust that the intercourse about to take place may be regarded as the inauguration of a new line of policy towards the EMPEROR rather than the desire to carry out any " Coburg" in trigue with regard to Spain. It has been more than hinted that hopes have been indulged in by by more than one of "the family" of uniting the Iberian and Lusitanian sceptres in the hands of the Boy-King. We cannot, however, lend the slightest credence to such a rumour, or believe that the sound practical common sense of the Prince Consort, or the experience of King LEOPOLD, would permit them to participate in so chimerical a project. —one that must necessarily occasion an internal conflict in Spain, of which it would be impossible to predict the result. The Spanish people would never consent to come under even the temporary rule of Portugal, however pro mising might be the future prospects of tho United Kingdom. Nor is it at all more likely that Louis NAPOLEON could be won by a few honeyed words or specious compliments to engage in such a speculation. He has seen the effects of French interference in Spanish affairs. He has wit nessed the fall of the Orleans dynasty, in conse quence of the intrigues of Louis PHILIPPE to procure the throne for his own family, and, with such "beacon light" before him, he could not easily be brought to enter on such devious paths, for what could hold out no advantages to him self or to his empire. As there could be no rational hope, of gaining his assent to such a project, we shall not suppose that there is any notion of attempting it, strange as the visits of so many COEURGS to France at the 'same time may be; and that, too, when the " spirit of mischief" has just escaped from Madrid, when MARIA CHRIS TINA. is sojourning in the Portuguese capital. Let us, then, accept the meeting for what we believe it really to !be—a mark of friendly respect for the reigning Sovereign of France--an indication of the just sense enter tained of the important services which he has rendered to the cause of order. It will be a glo rious spectacle for those who behold it —more cheering even than the interview on the field of the cloth of gold between HENRY and FRANCIS, which took place at no great distance from the same spot, and one which we firmly believe will prove the forerunner of a long course of amity be tween nations which were too long opposed to each other, but, firmly united, may defy the world iii arms.

THE BALTIC, The following are the latest telegraphic despatches from the Baltic :-- DANTZIC, Friday Morning. —The Bulldog reports this morning that the Finnish coast had been re connoitred by several steamers from the fleet. On Sunday, the 16th inst., General Baraguay d'Hilliers and Vice-Admiral Napier went up to Hango. In their sight the Russians blew up the fortifications, and retreated to Abo, where there are 15,000 troops. Abo will be attacked by the allies. The French forces have not yet left Bomarsund. General Baraguay d'Hilliers, General Jones, and Admiral Parseval-De:ichenes have had a look into Helsingfors. Rear-Admiral H. D. Martin, C.D., with a small squadron, has gone up the Gulf of Bothnia. The French have lost 600 men by cholera. Telegraphic advices from Stockholm state that the Rtissians are raising a new battalion of rifles in Finland, to supply the loss of the garrison of Bo marFund. the Mena, by the French. The Diamond, it is said, will have her guns taken out . and w il transport troops. The Atganiempoi4 Hatiso.ro; and llighflyer (with ether ships) are to belong to the co Vtrilig division, and, of course, will take no troops, but will cover their landing. Sixteen liners will be kept clear to take care of the Russian fleet should it make its appearande. TheS3 are the on dits of and military circles, and I think there is a great deal of truth in them. This fall of Sebastopol will be a fine and a splendid thing. This bay is crowded with merchantmen and transports The fire in the town has caused much ruin of streets and buildings. A Greek was captured yesterday morning trying to raise another. The day before yesterday a little Austrian mer chant brig arrived here. Such a fact might not have been perceived, had she not commenced an irregular salute to our own flag, and kept it up till she had attracted attention. Then it was ascer tained that this proceeding was caused by the day being the fete day of the Emperor Francis Joseph. Then the French and English ships dressed "in rainbow," with the Austrian flag at the main, and English, French, and Turks expended their powder together. Aland is declared infected with cholera, a,nd a quarantine is imposed on all arrivals thence. ENGAGEMENT WITH RUSSIAN GUN BOATS. The Odin, 16, paddle, Captain Scott ; Gorgon, 6, paddle, Commander Cracroft ; Driver, 6, paddle, Lieut. Commander Hon. A. C. Hobart ; and Lightning, 13, paddle, Captain Sullivan, engaged eighteen Russian guu-boats, carrying about fifty men each, and four steamers, at Abo, on the 18th August, without loss. European intercourse has greatly changed affairs at Constantinople. An Englishman or a French man may now, by merely taking off his shoes, sans finnan, "sans everything," enter the mosque of Santa Sophia itself without let or hindrance, and also may stroll (again taking off the shoes, though retaining the hat) into that of Sultan Achmet during " Divine service," listen to the monotonous chaunt of the Imaums, and observe the prostrations of the worshippers. Continuing his walk, he may wander about the Seraglio Gardens without suspicion. The officers of the guard, it is true, may stop him, but it will be merely to offer pipes and coffee, and to chat about the war ; and then, disregarding a doubtful shake of the head from an old Mussulman, he may walk into the courts of the Serai itself, and criticise the odd heterogeneous mass of splendour, a little taste, and much barbarity. The splendour is in the pro fuse gilding, now in a state of rapid decay. Pera, too, has its attractions—in the evening bands of music may there be heard, and good beer may be obtained. The Bosphorus is in all its beauty, shining like silver in the bright sun, except where the highly-coloured houses contrast in reflection with the tall black cypresses, and where its sur face is varied by the passage of numerous mer chant craft and huge transport steamers (such as the Orinoco and Himalaya), or the swift little Turkish steamers with their odd mixture on board of pretty Greek faces, Turkish yasmacks and their fezzed brethren, a few English and French officers on leave being intermingled, and a pretty fair sprinkling of travelling En g li s h men , d resse d in a mixture of straw hat and turban, and a sort of style oscillating between.the West and the East wonder ful to behold. The Turks are much improved in civility ; the women wear their yasmacks generally smaller and thinner, and one may prophesy the time not far distant when that article may become merely a fashionable custom in dress, an air-woven web, and used but to set off to advantage that which it is now supposed to conceal: Intelligence has arrived from Varna, via Rut schuck, that the allied fleet was expected to leave Varna on the 27th. Its destination is reported to be, not Sebastopol, but the mouths of the Danube. On the 24th instant a great number of troops were embarked. The cholera was decreasing in violence. BOMARSUND. The . Moniteur, publishes the following " BOMARSUND, Aug. 20. "It appears froin the plans found in the fortress that Russia entertained most extensive projects with respect to the future of Bomarsund. The defensive works of this place were intended to receive additions which would have made it the most formidable position in the Baltic, and have ren d ered them superior in strength to those of Sweaborg and Cronstadt. This discovery, while proving the importance of the service rendered to maritime Ger many as well as the Scandinavian states, by the capture of Bomarsund, also proves that the dangers of Russian ambition are not less great for the north than for the south, and that if it had been allowed tune to develope itself in a few years, the Sound would have been no more in safety than the Bosphorus." A correspondent, describing the place after the action, says : "I could not shut my eyes to the sight, and my ears to the sounds of woe from the poor Russian women— many with babies in their arms—whose husbands bad either fallen or were now on their way to England or France, prisoners of war. That monster Nicholas bad pressed these men, and they were actually locked into the fort I have just been over, to fight until they perished. These women are now without homes or means of any kind whatever. The French they fear to approach, but cling to the English as protectots, and all the English here seem proud of the distinction. I saw some of our sturdy fellows dividing their rations with them, and sheltering them from the sun. " I sat beside one poor creature who seemed over- whelmed with grief ; her husband had his arm blown off. I intended to give her some pieces of silver, and placed some before her. They were all allowed to see their husbands before leaving for England. The officers were allowed to take their wives with them ; indeed, the English are very kind," give up the advantages of a free loan, Russia has been obliged to have recourse to a forced one, disguised under the nacre of Toluntary contributions ; that she is con deinnea to seek a perilous ejuindltlnt hi an issue, more and more extensive, of paper money ; and that she is incapable of furnishing money fur a second or third campaign." General Vaudrey, Governor of the Tuileries, has been promoted to the rank of Grand Officer, and Count Rodolphe d'Ornano, Chamberlain of the Emperor, to that of Officer in the Legion of Honour. _ Tho Moniteur contains three decrees founded on reports from the Ministers of War and Public Works. One for the re-organisation on improved bases of the corps of military workmen ; the seconl, for applying to Algeria the international convention entered into between France and several foreign countries, for establishing a uniform sanitary regime applicable to vessels in the Medi terranean ; and the third, authorising the Minister of Public Works to apply the sum of 100,000 fr. to oncourage in the departments the new system of draining by means of pipes of baked clay.

THE VISIT OF THE EMPEROR TO BOULOGNE. BOULOGNE, Sept. I.—The Emperor was expected to arrive at 6 30 p.m. by railway from Paris. From half-past five the population of Boulogne streamed towards the railway station. A battalion of the Ist regiment of the Imperial Foot Guards, dressed like the " Old Guard "—blue dress with white facings, white gaiters, and huge bear-skin grenadier caps— a detachment of the Guides, aad another of gens d'armes a cheval, kept all the approaches to the station. As the Guides are a crack regiment, a de scription may not prove uninteresting. Their dress consists of a hussar cap with straight white feather, a close fitting dark-green jacket, the breast gorgeous with gold la . e and buttons, with a gold cross-belt, the sleeves heavy with gold lace as far up as the el bow; a richly chased silver and gold cartouche box, curved sabre, red breeches as far down as the knee, with two broad gold laced stripes ; from the knee downwards, boot and trousers seem to form one, all of black leather. The saddle cloth is of dark green with the Imperial Crown and the initial "N" in each corner. The appointments of the horse are equally rich and in keeping with the rest. The horses are superior to those in the other regi ments, and are nearly all fine bays. The only difference between the dress of the officers and pri vates is, that what in the offi ers' dress is gold lace, is embroidered braid of a deep yellow for the pri vates. The band wear red jackets and green breeches by way of distinction. Seven o'clock struck and still no Emperor ; at half-past seven bang went a gun, bang, bang, from a battery on the ramparts ; a rumbling noise and a shrill railway whistle, and the Emperor Napoleon 111. alighted at the station, where a saloon, richly decorated, was prepared for him. In two minutes he was in an open carriage, with three officers in gene ral uniform, and a,t .a sharp trot, the Guides lead ing, he drove past, followed by a detachment of the " Cent Guards" in steel helm and cuirasse, and drawn swords. It was too dark to distinguish any thing more. lam told that these Cent Guards are magnificently got up, that their horses cost 100 guineas each, and that they are splendid fellows. I shall take another opportunity of describing them. At seven this morning, Louis Napoleon was out inspecting some of the troops. The King of the Belgians is expected to-morrow. The Emperor will, in• person, take the chief command of the armee dit Nord. Boulogne is all alive ; the Folke stone steamer due to-day is expected to brilig a de tachment of the Horse Guards, who will form the guard of his Royal Highness Prince Albert. The first grand review is to be held between Honvault and Ambleteure. To-morrow is spoken of as the day, but there seems to be some doubt on the subject. The cavalry stationed inland have re ceived orders to advance nearer the sea-coast. The Emperor is accompanied by Colonel Fleury, his aide-de-camp, and other staff officers. He was re ceived at the station by General Schramm, com manding the first corps d'armee, General Rolin, chef d'etat major-general of the camp du Nord, and the generals commanding the different divisions encamped around Boulogne ; all the civil digni taries, prefects, mayors, &c., were present. The arrival of Prince Albert is confidently ex pected on Monday. Two small English cutter-yachts arrived yester day, and are at anchor in the port, gaily decorated with flags. The sun is broiling hot, and, as the moon is in the first quarter, the weather promises to keep up. The Prince Ernest steamer, from Folkestone, en tered the harbour at 4 o'clock with the horses of his Royal Highness Prince Albert on board. A detachment of Horse Guards are also on board. The port is thronged, and they experienced a most cordial reception upon landing. All the usual rules with reference to the landing of passengers were dispensed with. CONSTANTINOPLE. RECEPTION OF THE NEW VICEROY. Accounts from Constantinople, of the 21st ult., state that Said Pacha, the new Viceroy of Egypt, had arrived there, and had a very flattering recep tion. He was accompanied only by Mehemet Ali, his brother ; Talat Bey, his Divan Effendi ; and Koeni g Bey, his pri va t e S ecre t ary . Th e tr ib ute which he brought with him to present on his ac cession, without takiug into account the presents, is estimated at 20 millions of piastres. About a third of this sum has been ftirnished by the family of Said Pacha and the principal functionaries, and the remainder has been advanced by the commer cial houses at Alexandria. A. council was formed before his departure to manage the affairs of the Government during his absence. THE PR IN CIPALITIES. The Freniden Blatt has received news of the 19th from Rustchuk, which tends to confirm what was yesterday said relative to the future move ments of the Turkish army under Otner Pasha. On the 18th the Turkish forces—infantry, ca valry, and artillery—began to cross the pontoon bridge fromßustchuk to Giurgevo, and their march was still continued on the 19th. The Austrian Military Commissary, Colonel Malik, was with Omer Pasha on the 18th, when the troops filed off before him, but he left in the afternoon for Varna with important despatches, probably con taining intelligence of the occupation of the Prin cipalities, which, as you will recollect, was to have taken place on the 18th or 19th. The destina tion of. the Turkish army is said to be the Lower Pruth (Reni and Ismail). Mustapha Giritli Pasha goes to Babadagh in the Dobrudscha, but by way of Kostendje, instead of along the right bank of the Danube. It is supposed that by the 20th of September the whole of the Turkish army will be concentrated on the line. of the Danube ex tending from Matschin to the Black Sea. The Ost Deutsche Post has received a letter of the 20th, from Bucharest, which contains information of so strange a nature that it deserves quotation. After premising that his intelligence is worthy of confidence, the correspondent writes : "Omer Pasha is moving with the Bros of the Balkan army across the Argish to the Jalornnitza, and some what later he will advance to the Lowar Sereth and the Pruth. All the other disposable Turkish troops are to assemble in the Dobrudscha, where they will be placed under the command of General Bosquet. At the same time it has transpired that a diversion by sen and land will be made by the allies against the Bessarabian for tress of Akerman. An attack will very soon be made on the Russian positions in the south of Bessarabia, from the Pruth, from the Dobrudscha, and from the sea, and it appears very likely that the undertaking will succeed. The campaign of 1854 will, in all probability, end in Bessarabia, and the winter quarters of the allies be established there. This is the last version of the plan of operations of the allies, and of the Turkish army." The Lloyd of Vienna has the following from Jassy, dated the 20th ult. :—" A considerable change has taken place in the position of the Rus sian army. The object appears now to be princi pally that of fortifying the line of the Sereth. The points now strongly occupied and fortified aro Bodo, Congests, Scheix Kukowa, Adschews, Telush, Lungose, andßotunda, Bakenßeykau, Galatz. The head-quarters ar e a t R oman . It i s said that the orders are not to abandon the line of the Sereth, except at the last extremity." ADDRESS OF BARON VON HESS TO THE WALLACHIANS. The following proclamation has been issued by the Austrian Generalissimo, Baron Von Hess, to the inhabitants of Wallachia and Mold.via " Inhabitants of Wallachia and Moldavia—ln confor mity with the convention concluded between my Impe rial master the Emperor of Austria and the Sublime Porte, the Imp er i a l Austr i an t roo p s now en t er th e Principalities. They are t o deliver you from the afflictions of the war, and to restore to you the blessings of peace. Receive then the sureties for your future tranquillity and security with kindness and confidence. They will deserve the same by dignified conduct, and by an invari able observance of 'good order and discipline. The pri vileges secured to you by the Sublime Porte remain in full force ; still I shall expect from your civil authorities that without complaint every assistance be afforded requi_ site for the quartering and provisioning of the troops, for the supply of whose wants due compensation will in every case be made ; and from the people I shall require tranquillity and good order, for every species of disturb ance, or even the threat of such on the part of riotous individuals or parties, will be punished with the utmost severity of the law. At the same time the civil autho rities collectively are required to lay all matters of ad ministration before General Count Coronini, appointed by his Majesty commander of all the troops in both principalities, or before the military authorities em powered by him, for that purpose." THE BLACK SEA.. VARNA, AUGUST 19. Something is going to be done, and that speedily. The opinion is Sebastopol. Kaff2. , is spoken off ; some even say Anapa is to be attacked ; and others that no place at all is to suffer, but that the troops are merely going to occupy winter quarters at Scutari. All believe that Sebastopol will be at tacked by our combined forces, and that the em barkation will take place in a few days. This morning a sort of rehearsal took place in the em barkation and disembarkation of guns on the south side of the bay ; also as to the number of men paddle-box boats would contain. Lord Raglan, Admiral Lyons, General Brown, dxc., were pre sent, and the operations were very successful. The seamen and marines of the ships here assisted, and, at Admiral Lyons's desire, all the execu tive officers of the, ships • who could attend did so. The Leander's crew are to be broken up, to fill_up vacancies in the fleets--also that of AUSTRIA VIENNA, Aug. 28.—Daily conferences take place between Count Buol and Count Arnim. It is whis pered that a new arrangement is about to be made between the two Powers, and a supplementary ar ticle added to the April Convention. If this be correct, it is a proof that Prussia is at last coming to her senses. On Saturday the representatives of theßamberg Conference States delivered important des!Jatches to Count Buol, but nothing is known of their contents. Prince Albert of Saxony delivered to his Majesty at fschl the notification of the ac cession of his father, King John, to the Saxon throne. The King of Portugal yesterday went to Durnkrut, an estate at no great distance from his capital, belonging to the Austrian branch of the Coburg family. News has been received here that Prince Paskiewitch will remove his head-quarters from Warsaw to Grodno, but there must be some mistake in this. Probably Dubno, in Volhynia, on the high road to Brady and Lemberg, is meant. The Trieste Zeitung has a short leader which calls the attention of the public to the great power of Russia in Asia, and distinctly declares that the in terests of Europe will be but imperfectly secured by a peace concluded on the basis " of the four conditions." If these are accepted, European Turkey will be safe from the aggressions of the great Northern Power, but not so the Asiatic dominions of the Porte. Aslong as Russia has possession of Armenia, Asia Minor is in danger, and with it Constantinople. The great stronghold of Erivan perpetually menaces the dearest (mercantile) interests of Europe, Central Asia is threatened from the valleys of the Kur and Aras (Araxas), and this Great Britain, with the other European States, "and particularly Austria," cannot see with indifference. "If," says the Trieste Zeitttng— " Central Europe has no direct interests to defend, it must assist in bringing about such a state of things in the Caucasus and its more immediate neighbourhood that no power shall at pleasure be able to disturb the peace of the world. The principal feature for Central Europe in the Oriental question is the freedom of the Danube ; but the future of the valley of the Kur and Aras copcerns Germany* much as it does Edgiand." People in this part of the world are somewhat inclined to think that the expedition sent by the Western Powers to the East would have tidied without the co-operation of Austria, but few who have a correct idea of the resources and power of France and England are likely to share this .opi• nion. If Austria were to remain neuter, in the strict sense of the word, the war would be infinitely prolonged ; but a long struggle between Russia and the Western Powers would effectually ruin this country, whose armed neutrality is supposed to cost her something like 500,00011. a-day. The following telegraphic despatch has been re ceived : VIENNA, Friday.—The official Lloyd states that Marshal St. Arnaud was to leave Constantinople on the 2LI inst. to take the command of the allied expedition, which by that time would have arrived at its destination. PRUSSIA. The following private telegraphic despatches arrived this morning : " BERLIN, Sept. I.—Count de Benkendorff ar rived yesterday at Stettin, and left immediately for Putbus, where the King of Prussia is residing.' The reply of Russia, of which he is the bearer, rejects the four points which had been submitted by Austria with a view to the conclusion of peace. "VIENNA, Sept. I.—The official news that the expedition of the allied armies for the Crimea is in course of execution has arrived therefrom Constan tinople. Marshal de St. Arnaud is to set out on 2d Sept., to assume the chief command of the expedi tionary army. Fresh information leads to - the belief that Russia persists in her pretension to protect exclusively the subjects of the Sultan be longing to the Greek Church. The Lloyd, in con sequence of these reports, expresses a doubt of the pacific solution which was at first hoped for." BELGIUM. A letter from Brussels, dated yesterday, states that the King of the Belgians had not yet come to any determination respecting the resignation of his ministers, and that the Cabinet will probably remain without modification for several weeks. The Independance, of Brussels, of Thurs day, says :—The King, we learn, will leave on Friday for Ostend. His Majesty will embark on Saturday morning in one of the State steam-packets for Calais, where he will meet the Emperor of the French. The King will sleep at Calais, and will, we are assured, return to Os tend on Sunday. The Duke de Montebello, aide de-camp of the Emperor Napoleon, arrived this morning at Brussels, charged with a private mis sion to the King of the Belgians.

ESCAPE FROM DART3IOOR PRISON.—On Wednesday information was received at the Chief Police-office, Whitehall-place, of the extraordinary escape of James Taylor and John Gray, two convicts under sentence of transportation, who contrived, on Tuesday evening last, the 29th inst., to elude the vigilance of the warders and sentinels, and effected their escape from Dartmoor pri son by scaling the high wall and then dropping from its summit. The means by which they succeeded in their flight against so many obstacles are involved in mystery, but it is strongly suspected they were supplied surrep titiously with materials. As soon as their escape became known, the governor despatched a number of warders and the military to scour the adjacent country in search of them, but they returned unsuccessful ; but as they have the convict dress (drab coloar), marked "D. P.,” it is conjec tured that they are secreted in the locality, with the intention of ultimately proceeding to some seaport for embarkation. James Taylor is described as 5 feet 5i inches in height, dark brown hair, grey eyes, fresh com plexion ; is a colli er , an d wor ked at - Prescot, Lancashire, where his friends reside ; has a downcast look, cuts out side the right eye, on the left side of the chin, on right thumb, and outside the left thigh, and arms and face much freckled.

One fat, however, has been elicited, that the "missing" at vi present time amount to several, Mr. Hitchins Wine , received 11 letters from various parts inquiring for titulars.
