Fall Quadrille Band, Scc. had exhibited an unequivocal determination to insist on fair and equitable terms, Russia would long since have succumbed, and not only have abated her unjustifiable pretensions, but have given ample guarantees for the preservation of the general peace and tranquillity, so far as she was concerne d . 4‘ Germani sm ," however, tri- umphed. It paralysed the energies of the Allies, and kept our fleets and armies in the Euxine and its vicinity completely inactive, and those in the Baltic nearly so. We were always "tvaiting" for Austria or Prussia, and opportunities were lost while we were anticipating some decisive de monstration on the part of one or both. They have hitherto completely bamboozled us, reap ing benefits for themselves from the un toward and expensive complications' in which we were involved. Prussia, as we have already re marked, obtained a transfer of the whole com merce of Russia, while Austria was allowed to occupy the Principalities, to become the quasi Protector of Moldavia and Wallachia not only without opposition, but almost on the express invitation of Frank and Moslem. She has already established herself, issuing her insolent procla mations, hunting out refugees, and ready to take advantage of any casualty to fling herself into the arms of Russia, and support the views of the AUTOCRAT, from the vantage ground we have so foolishly permitted her to occupy—or should suc cess attend our arms, and the cause of truth and justice be triumphant, then to obtain favourable terms, neither humiliating to the pride nor inju rious to the pride of the Muscovite. This is the present phase of " Germanism," one less strongly marked, but no less decided in the case of Austria than of Prussia. The last circular has, however, placed the latter in such a position as to warrant our Government in with drawing her Ambassador, and treat it as an open and avowed enemy. It has used its influence, such as it is, against England and France, and it is right and proper that we should endeavour to curtail that influence. It has flung its own weight into the scale with Russia, and, therefore, we should not be very chary as to the means by which we-assail an acknowledged enemy, or reject them, because they may chance to be displeasing to Prussia. As a participator in the most nefarious act of modern times, in the infamous " partition of Poland," it might object to the measures adopted for the purpose of restoring the outraged nationality of that oppressad and deeply-injured people. Be it so. We are no longer bound to respect its wishes, or those of Austria ; and in renovated Poland aid independent Hungary we should obtain the best protection against further Muscovite encroachments. We have, however, so long submitted to similar tricks, that these deceit ful potentates imagine they can continue to play similar tricks with equal impunity. Let, them, however, beware. The sleeping Lion is aroused —the Eagle looks down from his aerie on the grovellers. France and England have, too long suffered " Aberdeenism" to prevail. But " the good and excellent man" can no longer paralyse their energies, or persuade any moderate number of persons in either nation, that " the apprehensions of the CZAR were well founded, or his demands reasonable ! ! We must act vigorously, and if he should still hang as a dead weight on our shoulders, we must only treat him as " SiNsin" did his prototype, "the Old Man of the Sea," celebrated in Eastern narrative—and act in a manner more beseeming a mighty nation, or rather two such mighty nations as France and England, Last week, when announcing the decisions of the Windsor Courts-Martial on Lieutenants PERRY and GREER, and the orders of the Commander-in- Chief in reference thereto, we inquired—" What parent or guardian will permit his son or ward to buy the commissions thus vacated ? Who will aspire to a place in such company ?" The pro blem has been solved. The following extract, from Friday's Gazette, supplies the answer " 4th Foot Lieutenant THOMAS J. BARLOW CONNELL, from the 3d West India Regiment, to be Lieutenant, vice PERRY, cashiered, but allowed to receive the value of his commissions ; Lieut. the Honourable WILLIAM HENRY HER BERT, from the 43d Foot, to be Lieutenant, vice GREER, removed from the service, but al lowed to receive the value of his commissions." From this it will be seen that the difficulty with respect to parents and guardians has been inge niously avoided. No young man glowing with military ardour has been required to cast his lot with the gallant and veracious officers of the 46th; nor has auy step been allowed to the regiment iu consequence of the vacancies thus created. Two gentlemen have been found willing to incur a cer tain degree of odium in order to extricate the Horse Guards from the awkward dilemma in which it was involved, and thus to establish a strong claim upon the gratitude of the authorities. It was unquestionably a "plucky " under taking on the part of Lieutenants CON NELL and HERBERT. We can understand the zeal and enthusiasm that induced these gentlemen so gallantly to fling themselves into the breach, and we earnestly hope that the "sacrifice" thus made will be duly appreciated by those who have the power to reward such devotion and moral courage. Lieutenant CoNNELL might have had adequate reasons to induce him to accept a commission in a regiment not necessarily serving under a tropi cal sun, where, too, he may possibly have an op portunity of distinguishing himself in actual war. But still he has done much for the service in accepting the exchange, and we shall not permit ourselves to doubt that he will afford a salutary example to those who will henceforward be his brother officers. The appointment of Lieutenant HERBERT, too, will, we trust, prove very beneficial to the regiment. He is unquestionably a very young officer—not yet of age—having been born in the year 1834—a descendant of the great Lord OLIVE, and youngest brother to the Earl of Powis ; not to the Earl of CARNARVON as stated by a contemporary. Although young, however, we do not suppose that any of the disgraceful practi cal jokes by which poor PERRY was victimised will be practised on him. He is a member of an aristocratic family, having at the same time great influence and wealth, and the "tuft-hunters," who were so ready to bully a young man who owed his position to the good services of his father, will very probably be quite as ready to cringe before the " Honourable" as they were to insult and keep aloof from the son of a man who, by his own deserts, had risen from the ranks. So far for the changes in the 46th, by which the orders of Lord HARDINOE have been carried into practical operation. We would now refer to the case of the young man, who had so unjustly been deprived of his commission, and sent to cora mence the w or ld d e 71,0170, while as yet only in his l 22d year. It appears that subscriptions to the P ERRY defen ce and testimonial fund already amount to 600/. But we trust that they will not stop there. The services of Mr. DARVILL richly merit a handsome recompence. The learned gentleman should be amply remunerated, for indefatigable exertions, combined w it i lvas g b re y his great ac uteness and indomitable reso lution, that the innocence of his injured client was fromsose© thatdistinctlyexposed.desiresto v had taken so d eep a root, will feel h we ighty debt of grat i tude is justly owing t or pt a wei tao3 E i R I R Y should DAnlrii Poor be placed in such a positicn as to reader biro independent of th e serv i ce, and capable of contemptuously rejecting the price of his commissions —the poor compensation tendered by Ca m w ho felt that he had been deeply aggrieved, and made the victim of gross and pal pable injustice. If the charges were true, he was not entitled to any indulgence. He had not merely slandered his superior officers, but been guilty of wilful and corrupt perjury. Yes ; one of the charges preferred against him (the third) was neither more nor less than a direct accusation of perjury. It was to the effect, that he made a statement on oath, " well knowing it to be false." The other three counts in the indictment related to the letter which he had signed under the instructions of his legal adviser, and the statement whereof he had, in the opinion of ninety-nine out of every one hundred disin interested and unprejudiced persons, fully and unequivocally substantiated. If ever there was a privileged communication, that letter was one. The circumstances under 'which it was written entitled the party preferring these charges, not through malice, but with the desire of obtaining a complete investigation into all the facts, in the elucidation whereof he was so deeply concerned — not merely to mercy, but to a complete acquittal, even had he done so erroneously. The third charge was, however, different ; it ascribed wilful false swearing —and, if substantiated, merited exemplary punishment. In allowing the accused, therefore, "to receive the price of his commis sions," Lord HARDINGE showed either that he did not consider " perjury" a serious offence, or that he did not agree with the decision of the Court. Erroneously and weakly as we think his Lordship to have acted, we shall not pay him so very bad a compliment as to attribute to him such lax morality. We can, therefore, only ascribe his leniency to his belief that the Court were not jus tified in their finding ; that even if the sworn evidence inculpatory of Captain NICHOLAS was not strictly accurate, it was, at least, delivered under the impression that it was so. Lieutenant PERRY should, therefore, have been acquitted, or the full sentence of "cashiering" been carried into execution ; and that the latter course was not adopted proved that the Commander-in-Chief differed entirely from the Court. It has been suggested that some attempt should be made to obtain a revision of the finding and sentence in one of the Superior Courts of Common Law. This is impossible. The finding and sen tence, duly approved and confirmed, is final and conclusive, and cannot, in the present state of the law, be questioned before any other tribunal. But petitions may be presented from every dis trict throughout the length and breadth of the land, to get rid of the iniquitous system, and to afford to all officers, aye, and privates, in her MA JESTY'S service, not engaged in actual warfare or on foreign service, the protection of a fair trial before impartial judges. The service could not be prejudiced thereby, for the punishment of Lieut. GREER—after his acquittal by the military tribu nal—shows that the Commander-in-Chief exer cises despotic power in removing any person he thinks proper from the army list. If he chooses to do so, let him assume the responsibility of the act, but do not let him evade that responsibility under cover of a finding and sentence made not in accordance with the substantial merits, but under the dictation of the Adjutant-General. Let a strict investigation, then, take place into the entire circumstances of the cases, and the conduct of the members of the three Courts, with a view to the introduction of a more wholesome system. It may be that a Royal Commission should be appointed. But if so, it should be composed of civilians. If not, however, we hive no doubt, notwithstanding the predominance of the military element in both Houses, that a Select Committee will be nominated on the meeting of Parliament, who will strictly inquire and honestly report, with out fear or prejudice, favour or affection. The voice of public opinion should, however, be heard in the interval, to show that the people are not indifferent to the wrongs inflicted on one of them selves, and that they are desirous of such reforms as will render impossible the repetition of similar injustice.

It would seem that the vacillation of " the Angel of Peace" has at length conic to a conclu sion that the good " giicquor has made up his mind, not merely to observe a strict neutrality, or in other words, to render only covert assistance to his brother-in-law, but to cast in his lot for good or evil with the C Z A.R. Ile had, indeed., ap parently cast off disguise when he so promptly accepted the hypocritical inferences of NICHOLAS, a 3 " confirmation strong as proof of Holy Writ," and promised to use his best exertions with the Western Powers, to receive these valueless notes as sterling gold. But he has now gone even further, and undertaken the task of bringing round the Germanic Confederation to the side of Russia. With this object he has caused a circular to be addressed to his Envoys at the various petty German Principalitie, , ,, ostensibly for the purpose of instructing them in the line of policy to which they are to endeavour to obtainthe support of the Grand Dukes, Electors, or Margrayes, to whom they are accredited, but really of gra tuitously and wantonly insulting France and England. In these remarkable documents FRE DEBICK WILLIAM deliberately recants the doubt ful and quibbling assent he had previously given to the demands of the maritime nations. He states that, " although for the sake of peace he had supported, at St. Petersburg, the four points insisted on by the Western Powers, he does not think that they are indispensable in, a German. point of view ;" e adding that " the common protectorate would be attended with diffi culty, and may bring harm to Germany." From these premises he arrives at the following conclusion—viz., that he " cannot re commend his German Allies to accede to the four conditions in such a manner as to incur on their account expenses and obligations not commanded by the spirit and end of the Austro-Prussian con vention. He hopes that the Emperor of AUSTRIA Will take this view of the case, and adhere to it, as becomes a German Prince. He hopes, more over, that the EMPEROR, seeing his own States are guaranteed against attack from the side of Russia, will abstain from every act of aggression against Russia, and avoid all complication not necessary for the protection of German interests, and to which the convention does not apply." And this is the Sovereign in deference to whose wishes we so long remained inactive, hoping even against hope, and supposing that those who had 80 long been faithful allies would not be so obli vious of their own hon iur and their own interest alt to foment strife by encouraging the wrong doer in his unwarrantable aggression. Prussia has for a considerable period arrogated to itself the title of " One of the Great Powers." It has, however, manifestly. surrendered any claim it m i g ht once have possessed t o h o nourable. It does not i n this a designation so circular affect to regard the interests of Europe. I t only ,con siders the matters in dispute in 4( a German.

He seeks to induc e th e other German States to assume a like attitud e with respect to Russia, and has even the auda city to ask FRANCIS J OSEPH to "take this vie w of the case, and to adhere to it as becomes a Ger- man Prince !" lc Put not your faith in Princes" is a time honoured apophthegm, and assuredly it has re ceived ample corroboration from this treacherous and deceitful conduct of the King of PittISSIA. He has found it to be his interest to prolong hos tilities. His own subjects are allowed to reap considerable profits, by being made the agents or factors, through whose intervention Russian pro duce is exchanged for English bullion. A hand some commission is p a id on every transaction, and he would not, by a too hasty restoration of Peace, take away this abundant sourco of gain from his people.

BERLIN, September 7.—The Prussian Goveni ment has addressed a circular to all its envoys at the secondary German courts. The lat- ter will shortly be called to come to a resolution respecting the attitude of the Confederation towards Russia. The Prussian Government tells its en- voys that although for the sake of peace it sup ported at St. Petersburg the four points insisted on by the Western Powers, it does not think they are indispensable in a German point of view. The common protectorate would be attended with diffi culty, and may bring harm to Germany. ' The King of Prussia cannot then recommend his German allies' to accede to the four conditions in such a manner as to incur on their account ex- penses and obligations not commanded by the spirit and end of the Austro-Prussian convention. The King hopes that the Emperor of Austria will take this view of the case, and adhere to it, as be- Com es a German prince. He hopes, moreover, that the Emperor, seeing his own states are guaranteed against attack from the side of Russia, will abstain from every act of aggres sion against Russia, and avoid all complication not necessary for the protection of German interests, and to which the convention does not apply. The following analysis of the document, pub lished by the lndependance Beige, will enable your readers to form a more exact idea of the views of Prussia in this matter " This circular," says the Independance, "refers at first to that of Aug. 5, and mentions that the Eastern question had been submitted to the discussion of the Diet a little be fore the adjournment of its sittings, and that co resolution had been come to on that question, because the repre sentatives of the different States had not yet received the necessary instructions, and because, after the re-opening of the sittings, the united committees will again have to examine the matter. The Prussian Government thinks fit to give explanations as to the principles which it has adopted in the matter, after having received a copy of the despatch of Count de Nesselrode to Prince Gorts chakoff, of August 26, with a letter of introduction in reply to the Prussian note of August 13. It expresses its regret that Russia has rejected the four conditions, the acceptance of which could have put an end to the war. However, it finds, after an impartial examination. in the reply of Russia, two points which appear to it very important in a political and military point of view for Prussia and Austria, as well as for the other German States t-Ist, the reiterated assurance of the complete evacuation of the principalities ; and 2dly, the promiseof Russia to remain henceforward on the defensive. Itcomes to the conclusion-Ist, that Austria has nothing to fear from any attack on the part of Russia ; and 2dly, that Russia has abandoned the theory according to which she pretended to a right to occupy the principalities as a' pledge, whilst at present she represents their prolonged occupation as a military position, which she renounces for strategical reasons. As to the question of knowing whether, in admitting the complete evacuation of the principalities, the mere refusal of Russia to accede to the four conditions authorises, in the point of view of right, the German States to declare war on her, the Prussian Government thinks it necessary to reply negatively, and cannot admit, after the evacuation of the principalities, a casus belli, and p trticularly as at the commencement the Western Powers themselves did not regard the occupation of theprincipalities as immediately implying a mils belli. In consequence, Prussia is of opinion that by the late concessions of Russia, full satis faction has been given to the additional article of the convention of April 20, and she does not admit any for mal obligation on the German States, in consequence of that treaty, to proceed to military measures. As to the question of knowing whether, independently of the cases foreseen in the additional article, German interests, really menaced, require particular protection, Prussia believes that, according to Art. 2 of the convention, that question ought to be decided at a common delibera tion of all‘the contracting parties. In addition, the cir cular discusses the question of ascertaining if the . four conditions are so completely in conformity with German interests that the German States are obliged to make them also the indispensable basis of future negotiations. Prussia, although she has supported these conditions at St: Petersburg, in the hope of contributing to the re-establish ment of peace, does not consider them as indispensable in the point of view of German interests. She finds great difficultiea in realising the project of a common protectorate over the principalities, and believes that that protectorate might even lead to a state of things but little in conformity with Gorman interests. Although the occupation of the principalities by Austrian troops offers a guarantee—seeing that the Turks have likewise entered them, and that perhaps also the Anglo-French troops will enter, and that these various elements will he established there for some time—Prusilia, independently of the military complications which these circumstances may lead to, beholds in them a state of things but little favourable to German interests. She cannot, therefore, recommend to her German allies to accede to the four conditions in a manner which might have for consequence that they should take on themselves charges and obliga tions which are not commanded by the spirit and object of the convention. The King will maintain it without variation as a guarantee of a development independent of the German Power; but on that account he considers it his duty to remove from it all that does not emanate from German interests well understood. He hopes that the Emperor of Austria will appreciate, in following the inspirations of his mind and of his heart, that manner of seeing the matter, and that he will adhere to it as a Ger man prince. He hopes, besides, that the Emperor of Austria, admitting that his States are now guaranteed against every attack on the part of Russia, will abstain from every aggressive act against Russia, and will avoid all the complications which would not be necessitated by the protection of German interests, and to which conse quently Art. 2 of the convention would not be appli cable." The same journal also publishes a summary of the circular addressed by Austria on the same occa sion to her diplomatic agents, from which it appears hat some very essential differences exist in the views of the two great German Cabinets on the new phase of the tastern question. It is asserted from Vienna that the Austrian note, dated the 3d, and announcing officially the Russian negative answer, was forwarded on the 4th to London and Paris. This Government, having received no reply to its last recommendations at London and Paris, will remain silent. In consequence of the melancholy inundations in Silesia, th© Vienna trains have been repeatedly delayed during the last fortnight. Captain Black wood, Queen's messenger, was unable to arrive there yesterday at the usual time, in consequence of interruptions on the road. -- - THE ATTACK ON SEBASTOPOL. The Moniteur publishes a letter from Constanti nople, from which we extract the following :-- "The expedition to the Crimea is at Jength de cided on, and Sebastopol will be attacked. This great decision has been announced to the combined armies, to the East, and to all Europe, by an or der of the day of M ars hal St. Arnaud, in which the noble ardour of the heroic struggle which is about to be entered on, and the patriotic affirma tion of a speedy victory are expressed with elo quent energy. Russia is to be struck in the very heart of all her ambitious hopes which she nou rishes on the East, and which hav e for a long time threatened the equ ilibrium of the world. Sebas topol is the citadel which shelters a fleet always ready to threaten the Bosphorus, a floating bridge which, in the idea of the Czar, has long united St. Petersburg to Constantinople. It is necessary that this fleet should be taken from Russia in order that that power shall no longer have anything but im possibilities in the East, and that the chances even of treason shall be definitively taken from her. As soon as the troops shall have been landed, they will be led on to battle either against the Rus sian troops if they should endeavour to defend the positions which surround Sebastopol, or against the place itself if the Russians content themselves wills waiting for their formidable visitors under shelter of the walls. If Sebas topol be taken, the combined armies will have accomplished a striking feat of arms which will complete the demoralisation of Russia, and materially facilitate the re-establishment of peace. If, on the contrary, the number of Russians present iu the Crimea should be more considerable than was supposed ; if the town should prolong its de fence, and if obstacles should arise in a few weeks from the season ; if, in short, a strong Russian army should succeed in reinforcing the Crimea, the troops would have to re-embark, and th e attack on Sebastopol would be resumed at the commence ment of next spring under different conditions. To attack the Crimea is, on the part of France and England, to take an engagement to conquer, and no ono can doubt hut that the engagement will be kept. To conquer tire Crimea at any cost, or to abandon to the Russians the empire of the East —such is the alternative in which Russia has placed the Western powers. Whatever may be the ob. stacles to be overcome, the deluitive result cannot be doubted." THE PRINCIPALITIES. A letter from Bucharest of the 31st ult., iu the noyd of Vienna, says :—" Several gun boats of the allied fleets have taken up a position at the mouth of the Sulina •' and it is said that some troops have landed on that point to operate a di version whilst the Russians shall be attacked at Ismail, where is assembled their principal force in Bessarabia. Gun-boats are also stationed at the month of the Kilia, and they are shortly to attack Kilia." Th. 3 Wallachians continue to show every favour able disposition towards the Turkish cause. An address has been made to Omer Pacha and signed by a great number of the influential inhabitants (nearly 400), requesting Omer Pacha to obtain the permission of the Sultan for the Wallachian troops to join the Turkish army, and be led by him against the Russians. They express their certainty that both the officers and soldiers would eater with the utmost zeal into the cause. The Austrians, in their proclamation, studi ously avoid anything which could give the slightest offence to Russia. They ignore the pre sence of Omer Pacha, with 20,000 men, in Bu charest ; of Dervish Pasha, the Turkish Commis sioner ; and only make the slightest possible allusion to the Sultan having anything whatever to do with the arrangements in Wallachia ; but the authorities are told in very plain terms to whom they are in future to address themselves for instruc tions. Omer Pacha, is said to be much annoyed by the arrangements which are being made, and at the proclamation which has been issued. It is not known here what the Turkish troops are to do, but nobody expects that the two armies will remain at ' the same time in Wallachia during the winter. It is not of much consequence if the Turks are obliged to return to Rustchuk at present, as they could not carry on operations much longer this year, and they are as well in Turkey as Wallachia for winter quarters, but in the spring the Austrian occupation will surely not be considered as debarring the Otto man forces from a free passage through the Princi palities, should next year's operations require it, as it is nearly certain they will, if war continues. ADDRESS TO OMER PACHA. The young men of Wallachia had presented a complimentary address to Omer Pacha, couched in very flowery language. Omer Pacha returned the following rep]y :—" I thank you, in the name of his Majesty the Padischah, our august master, for the assurances that you have given him of the fide lity and attachment of the inhabitants of Roumelia to the throne of their legitimate sovereign. His Im perial Majesty will he delighted to see justified the confidence which he has always placed in that people, and his paternal solicitude will not cease to be ex tended overthe country, and to labour for the happi ness of its inhabitants. As regards me personally, I thank you for the confidence with which you have received me. I will only remark to you that it is not the first time I have visited your town, and that I have never doubted of the fidelity and at tachment of the Wallachian nation. I will accord ingly hasten and deposit at the foot of the Sultan's throne the expression of your loyal sentiments. The sympathy which you state you feel for the troops placed under my command is understood and appreciated by them, and they will know how to render themselves worthy of it by their conduct and discipline. I will do all that is in my power to advance the happiness of your brave and faith ful nation." THE EXPORTATION OF CORN. In consequence of a decree which prohibited the export of corn from the principalities of the Danube, remonstrances were made by some Austrian mer chants, who had made purchases of corn and hired boats for its transport, awl these remonstrances were supported by the Austrian consul-general with Omer Pasha, at Bucharest. Omer Pasha de clared that considerations connected with the sup ply of the troops had led to the prohibition in ques tion ; but that, in order to give facilities for the export of the corn of last year, it should be per mitten for one month for barley, two months and a half for wheat, and six months for maize. THE ENTRY OF DERVISH PACHA. He was received at the gates by the Generalis simo Omer Pacha, and by Sadik Pacha, commander of the town ; and a part of the garrison was placed under arms. Dervish Pacha received, the day after, the Metropolitan, the President of the Ad ministration, the clergy, the superior authorities, a great many boyards, and other principal inhabi tants. OMER PACHA AND THE AUSTRIANS, The Augsburgh Gazette learns that it has been settled between Omer Pasha and Baron Hess that the Austrians are to garrison the 13 principal towns in Great and Little 'Wallachia, but that all the passages of the Danube and the tetes-du pont, with Braila and Galatz (in Moldavia), shall have Turkish garrisons. Omer Pasha's army is said to be composed of 60,000 foot, 24,000 horse (?), and 120 guns. DEPARTURE OF ISMA.EL PACHA. The Ost. Correspondent says, on the 2d Ismael Pacha had left Bucharest, with all the political fugitives, for Anatolia. Prince Gortschakoff has; removed from Fokschani to the interior of Mol davia, and it is fully expected that no time will now be lost in quitting that province. The cholera has appeared at Bucharest, but is not often fatal. CONSTANTINOPLE. The Porte has just sold a vast quantity of old bronze cannon to a firm at Constantinople. The amount realised will be 200,000 piastres (about 40,000 f.) Some of the cannon, it is said, were worthy of figuring in a museum. The greater part were taken from the Corsairs of Barbary, but some of them bear the arms of Louis XIV. _ _ _ The Constantinople correspondent of the 30th ult. says, independently of the Turkish division which is to accompany the expedition, Marshal de St. Arnaud had been informed by the Seraskier that he might dispose of another corps of 20,000 men, then ready to proceed to whatever point he thought proper to order them. A portion of the army of Omer Paella will also be available the mo ment the Austrians have completed the occupation of Wallachia. On the other hand, fresh reinforce ments were expected from France, so that at all events the Allies will have a sufficient force to achieve that important enterprise. THE BALTIC. VISIT OF ADMIRAL NAPIER TO NARGEN. la. our latest despatches received from the Baltic, we find the following with respect to the Admiral's trip :—" It is hardly to be expected that he has any intention of establishing a naval station there (Nargen, an island lying to the north of Revel), for the winter, since, according to all accounts, the anchorage there is by no means good. The inhabi tants and garrison have made up their minds to a bombardment, but earnestly pray that an early frost may interpose a barrier between them and their foes ; they have been extremely effarouches at our countrymen having set fire to the wood with which the part of the island nearest the bay in which the town stands is covered." THE ALAND ISLANDS. In relinquishing the Aland Isles it is to be hoped that the combined Powers will have taken mea sures to protect the poor Alanders from any return of the Russians, who would not fail to make them expiate their unconcealed sympathy for the West ern Powers very dearly. RUSSIA. Letters from St. Petersburg show that, although the capital was beginning to resume its usual ap pearance at the fall of autumn by the return of the upper circles from their summer excursions, an ex cessive depression is being felt in trade, which is producing an acrimonious feeling throughout the population. The Government finds itself not only deprived of its most productive resource in the Customs' receipts of the Baltic ports, but is com pelled already to contrive measures for the relief of single towns, and will soon have to extend its soli citude to entire provinces. The goods which have entered Russia by the Prussian frontier have even produced less than the same quantities of goods would have produced at other times, seeing that Russia, in her embarrassment at the scarcity and high price of sugar and colonial wares, had been obliged to reduce the duties to the amount at which she had many years ago in a treaty with Prussia engaged to fix them, but had as usual broken the stipulations. For the present Finland is described as being animated by a very martial spirit and bearing the disasters of the war very well, but it may be looked forward to that when, in addition to the severities of winter , the demand s for the payment of taxes (whether in the shape of voluntary patriotic contributions or otherwise) come to be made, the people will have little more to offer the Government than the raw produce of their land ; for as the rich landowners and tradespeople cannot dispose of their hemp, flax, skins, and tar, there is neither employment for the lower classes nor money in circulation. The belief has gained general currency that the summoning of the Fins lately to the military de fence of the country was a breach of an engage ment made with them by the Emperor .Alexander, to the effect that Finland should be relieved from military service for 50 years, dating from 1809. Despatches received in the capital mention a hostile squadron off Revel, August 21. On the 18th and 19th of August a cannonade was heard at Solsburg in N. W. direction. From same place (20th) an enemy's liner in sight, fast on a sand bank. From lielsingfors and Sweaborg (22d) cruisers of the enemy exchanged shots with Rus sian steamers without further results. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Sept. B.—To the information forwarded during the last three or four days on the subject of the last Russian note, and the present policy of this Cabinet, there is little to be added. According to the Austruin Correspondence of Vienna, there can be no doubt of the Austrian Cabinet having declared that it does not find in the answer of the Emperor of Russia any ground for hostilities against him by Austria, but that it is intended to submit the question of the future to the decision of the Germanic Diet. The Cologne Gazette contains the following from Vienna, dated the 7th : " Count Buol gave yesterday a grand dinner, in honour of the Russian Ambassador, Baron de Meyen dorff. Prince Gortschakoff and all the Russian Lega tion were invited. The Baron leaves this evening for St. Petersburg, as does M. de Muchin, Consul-General at Belgrade, who goes to seek some other employment, as, under present circumstances, he cannot hope to be soon back at his post in Servia. The Hospodar of Moldavia, who has been here for some days," had yes terday a long conference with the Turkish Ambassador. It is said that the question under discussion was the re-establishment of the Prince in his Government at Jassy. Prince Ghika can lope with more justice than Prince Stirbey of Wallachia to be re-established, be cause he meets with less opposition amongst the people, and his administration was less complained of. A new paper-money, bearing the title of War-Indemnity Note, is about to be issued in Moldavia and Walla chia under the guarantee of the Western Powers for the supply of stores to the Turkish troops. That paper is to be exchanged for gold and silver from the share accruing to the Principalities from the indemnity which Russia will have to pay hereafter. To supply the Turkish troops becomes more and more difficult as they advance northwards, the Russians burning and destroy ing all that they do not carry away." FRANCE. THE EMPEROR'S VISIT TO BOULOGNE. BOULOGNE, MONDAY. A partial lull has succeeded the violent paroysms of excitement into which Boulogne has for the last week been thrown, in consequence of the visits of so many kings and princes. That the recent visit of Prince Albert has been productive of immense good, in strengthening the good feeling which now exists between Franbe and England, cannot be doubted. The great mass of the people speak in terms of the highest praise of " le bel Prince Al bert," and wish devoutly to see the visit of his Royal Highness followed by one from her Majesty. The Emperor proceeds to-day (Monday) to visit the camp at Equihen, some six miles to the south of Boulogne. This camp differs from those at Honvault and St. Omer, by having a large portion of the men encamped beneath those small sack tents, first introduced into the French army dur ing ie campaigns in Algiers, and which we have on more than one occasion fully described. The tents, it may be remembered, are carried by the troops on the march with the greatest facility, each man carrying one-sixth part of the canvass of his tent, which is rolled up and carried on th. 3 top of his knapsack. Each soldier also carries six wooden pegs, and a stick, of about four feet in length, which serves as the support for the roof of his tent when about to encamp. The muskets may, in case of emergency, be employed in the absence of the or dinary supports, but it is obvious that on active service such an employment of the fire-arms con stantly would be attended with many incon veniences. The rapidity with which these tents can be pitched or struck is marvellous, and we are informed that upon some recent trials it was found that ten minutes Wa.9 , sufficient to turn out the men, and not only to strike the tents, but actually to march away with the canvass town on their back. The horses ofPrinceAlberthave been put on board ;his morning, and will leave Boulogne to-day. The iorse which, among tho stud of the Prince, has at- tracted the most n — otice here is the black charger of her Majesty, so well known in England for its beautiful action. In connection with this visit of Prince Albert there are few things more remark able than the nature of the preparations which were made by the Emperor's order for accommodating his illustrious guest. The whole of the Hotel l Brighton was engaged, and in a marvellously short space of time was converted into an establishment having all the conveniences requisite for a small imperial residence. Stables and coach-houses of the most approved construction and well ventilated were constructed of timber in fourteen days. Ac- commodation was to be afforded for 102 horses of the Emperor, and for 50 of the Prince and the other guests. Of the 102, horses of the Emperor, 36 are riding, 36 carriage., and 30 for posting and servants. Among the riding horses are the six selected chargers of the Emperor—all English horses, which, for beauty, symmetry, and build are probably unsurpassed in the world. The harness rooms at the Imperial Hotel, although hastily constructed, are perfect models of neatness and order, and. their contents must be of a value something enormous. There are here the two saddles, with their gorgeously gold embroidered cloths, and the two bridles, with solid gold orna ments, presented to the Emperor by the Sultan, and valued at 250,000 francs. There is also a wonderfully rich saddle, with cloth and bridle, pre sented to the Emperor by Abd-el-Kader. Round the fore part of this bridle is an inscription, in flowing Arab letters of solid gold, to the effect that if it pleased Allah that the Emperor should be borne to battle ou the noble wearer of that bridle, and should be obliged to fly—which Allah forbid —the rider might al ways rely upon that noble steed flying further and faster than any other horse, and that no enemy would ever be able to overtake him, for he was swift as the arrow and as fleet as the wind. It is stated that there will be another sham fight in the neighbourhood of Boulogne to-morrow or the next day, when an opportunity will be afforded for the great bulk of the inhabitants being present. His Majesty leaves Boulogne in a few days to fetch the Empress from Biarritz to Compeigne, whence he will pay frequent visits to the various camps of the army of the north. It is generally rumoured that the Emperor is to pay a visit to the King of the Belgians. Specula tions still continue rife on the subject of the hasty visit and. sudden departure of his Majesty the King of the Belgians. The Constitutionnel calls attention to the press ing necessity, owing to the high price of coals, of developing the collieries of France. The existing collieries (says this journal) now produce 5,000,000 of tons annually, but, by the application of capital, the amount might be doubled in a comparatively short time, and thus the country would gain, not only in prosperity, but in political and industrial independence. The Emperor followed by his staff went yester day morning on horseback to the camp of Hon vault, and was present at the mass of the army. In the afternoon his Majesty rode to the camp of Equihem. The Dioniteur has the following from Biarritz, 10th :—" The Empress enjoys perfect health. At mass, this morning, there was a great crowd, not only in the church, but also in the road leading to it. Her Majesty continues to receive marks of lively and respectful affection of the inhabitants." General de Hartmann, aide-decamp of the King of Bavaria, has arrived to present the respects of his Sovereign to the Emperor, and be present at the manoeuvres of the camp at Boulogne. The general is accompanied by his aide-de-camp, Lieut. Weiss, Captain Count Yseinbourg, and Captain Baron de Tann. The Patrie of yesterday evening apologises for the accidental omission of Marshal St. Arnaud's proclamation from its Sunday's impression. The doubts of the genuineness of the document, founded upon that omission, therefore fall to the ground. The marine authorities at Cherbourg' have re ceived orders to prepare for the reception of the entire Baltic fleet by the beginning of next month. Admiral Deschenes, at the head of 45 French ships of war, and accompanied by 10 English vessels, carrying part of Baraguay d'Hilliers' army, will anchor at Cherbourg previous to the division of the fleet between that port and Brest, which we have already been informed will be made. The whole of the army of the Baltic will be disembarked at Cher bourg, but whether to remain there till the next campaign, or (as seems more probable) to be distri buted among different garrisonsinland, is not known with certainty. The port will exhibit the magni ficent spectacle of a fleet of 55 ships with an army of 36,000 men on board. It is confidently hoped that the Emperor will pay Cherbourg a visit in October, and personally congratulate both the fleet and army upon the capture of Bomarsund. A notice has been published at Aix that the 1100 Russian prisoners to be quartered there will be placed under the superintendence of a superior offi cer, two captains, and several non-commissioned officers on the retired list, and old soldiers resident in the Dordogne who may be desirous of employ ment, in this service, are requested to send in their applications. The Cherbourg journals, however, continue to affirm that 409 of the prisoners are to be brought there to work at the fortifications. M. Billault, the ex-presidelat of the Qorpi latif, whose present position as Minister of the In terior is, according to the new constitution, incom patible with a seat in the legislative body, has an nounced to the electors of the district of the Ariege, which he represented, that his son-in-law, M. Bus son, is the Government candidate for the vacancy. The mayors of the district had unanimously ex pressed a wish that some member of M. Billault's family should succeed him. The Three per Cents. closed yesterday at 74f. 22c., for the end of the month ; and the 411 per Cents. at 98f. 35c. ; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,245 f.; Rouen, 975 f. ; Havre, 585 f.

BELGIUM. The King of the Belgians and the rest of the Royal family left Brussels on Sunday morning (10th), at ten o'clock for Courtray by railway. Count de Marnix, Marshal of the Palace ; Colonel de Moerkerke, aide-camp to the Duke de Brabant, and the ladies of honour to the princesses, acconV 'Dallied the Royal party. ITALY. The Parlamento of Turin of the 7th qnofes letters from Naples, from which we learn that tile Government has forbidden the Russian loan to be quoted at the Exchange of Naples. This measure is said to have greatly irritated the Russian Am bassador there, and to have induced him to send a note to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Com mander Caraffa, in which he threatens to demand his passports, if the answer be not satisfactory. The Duke of Modena has issued a decree dated from Pavullo, 26th ult., directing the inhabitants of the town and commune of Carrara to give up all the arms and ammunition they may have in their possession within a fortnight from that date. No punishment is to be incurred by those who comply at once with this provision. The measure does not apply to foreign consuls, the military or political functionaries. After the period above mentioned the Minister of the Interior may give special permits to persons well known for their attach ment to the Government to have arms for the purposes of self-defence or the chase. Any person convicted of premeditated homicide or maiming, stated to have unfortunately become too frequent within the town and commune of Carrara, is to be shot. Any attempt at homicide is to be punished with hard labour for life or 20 years at the least. Any person found in possession of arms of any kind after the delay granted above are liable to be condemned to from 5 to 20 years' 'laid labour. -- - SPAIN. Letters from Madrid of the 7th state that the payment of interest on the Public Debt which has been lately suspended will be resumed on the 11th. The Queen Christina was supposed to have ar rived in Portugal on the 3d. Three per Cents., 34 80. The Three per Cents. closed on the Bourse to day at 74 25 for the end of the month, and the Four-and-a-Half at 98 35. PORTUGAL. LISBON, SEPT. 2. Every one is eagerly expecting the arrival of Queen Christina from Madrid. It was rumoured yesterday that she had arrived at Elvas, and the palace at Belem is said to be prepared for her re ception. Strange vicissitudes of fortune ! Not mall' years ago we beheld Espartero a fugitive from his native land, on board an English man-of war, the refuge of the oppressed, not permitted to disem bark here from dread of the vindictiveness of the Queen-Mother. Now she is herself exiled, and probably indebted for her life, and escape from a dangerous captivity, to the man whom she ruth lessly persecuted. It is believed that some of her children passed through this city, under the care of Senor Cohoa, and proceeded to England by the Madrid steamer. Persons assert that they had an interview with the King at the Pena convent, but that their incognito was strictly preserved. There is a current rumour that the King is de sirous to yield up the reigns of Government to his sou as soon as public convenience will permit. He postpones the decisions of any matters to which he objects until the time when the young King shall be able to determine. It is also believed that the dissension in the Cabinet is only soldered till the return of the two princes, who are expected here about the 10th of Septembet. GREECE. It is suspected that King Otho, not sufficiently warned by the severe lesson he received in the summer, is again contriving how to get up troubles in Greece. It has been observed that ho ceases to hold any communication with his Minister of the Interior. The French Government keeps a wary eye upon this silly monarch's proceedings. DRURY-LANE ThEATRE. This theatre re-opened last night " under entire new direction," for a short operatic season of three weeks. Wallace's pretty opera Maritana was the work selected for the occasion ; and considering that the arrange ments bear evident traces of having been made in haste, the performance was as good as could be hoped: Ma dam Ruderstimff, who made a highly favourable impression luring the early part of the season, gained fresh laurels by her last night's admirable performance Maritana- This lady is an artiste of very considerable merit— her singing is earnest, impassioned, and full of intention. She was throughout greeted with the warmest applause , and vehemently encored in the ballad " Scenes that aro brightest," which she sang with great pathos and ex pression. Mr. Elliott Galer was the Don Caesar de Rizan, and although scarcely possessing sufficient power for so large a theatre, his performance was on the whole highly creditable, and indicative of progress. The remaining parts were but indifferently filled. The orchestra, although not very numerous, is thoroughly efficient, and a word of praise is due to the gentleinai? (premier violon) who played the obligato accompani ment to the air " The mariner in his barque." The evening terminated with a ballet, " des Nymphes," HAYMARKET T HEATRE. -..- Senora Perea Nena, who has been delighting that portion of the inhabitants of the metropolis who c onfe!A to being in town, has been fortunate in having so skil ful a coadjutor, both as dancer and ballet-master, 83 Senor Ruiz. Two new divertissements Lave been pro duced under his direction within the last few clays, which combine at once simplicity in action and elahop,' tion in scenery and dresses ; while the rapid succession of national (that is " stage national") Spaniz,h dances scarcely gives a chance for the applause which eve r y A spectator is panting to bestow on the spirited an d graceful efforts of Nena and her w e ll-d r ill e d corps de ballet. The very male dancers are positively endurable for once, probably because they keep their eyes steadily on Senor Ruiz, who.is himself far less of a foil to 1 115 fair partner than most of his contemporaries in the ballet world. It hardly needs to tell of the Jaccra end, Calesera, Paterna, Guaracha, Zambra, and so on, al' graceful and vigorous dancers of the same genus.

It is not every one who has the tact to leave off being pleasant at the right moment. Senora Perea Nena and Senor Ruiz have caught that art. DEATH OF MRS. FITZ WILLIAM. 411 We regret to state that this popular actress at six o'clock yesterday evening. Mrs. Fitzwilliam, as we learn, had been indisposed' for about a week past with diarrhoea ; but, as the attack presented no symptoms of immediate urgency, she un fortunately neglected to take sufficient precautionary measures, and pursued her professional engagement,: as usual. She even played on Saturday night wit her usual vivacity. Early on Monday morning the, disorder assumed a serious character, and, ins pite under every effort to save her, Mrs. Fitzwilliam sank under the attack at the end of about 12 hours. expired de s eg r MREL WARNER.—On Friday next the perform anoe at S r a v d i n l e' s a - c w t e re ll s s s, T w he h a o t m re awilplabinefuflorantdheinbeenuerafibtloef tn)hias . lady has long prevented from exercising her profes sion. Miss Charlotte Cushman and Mr. Buckstone are announced to appear on the occasion. POLICY OF THE RUSSIAN SOITEREIGNI3.—It was the aim of the Russian Sovereigns who founded or restored the cities of their southern empire, to revive and perpe tuate the glories of a far distant age. The names of Sebastopol and Eupatoria were intended to carry the mind back to the time when the language and dotninion of Greece prevailed on the shores of the Black Sea, and thus to prepare the neighbouring races for the eventual assumption, by Russia, of supremacy over all the votaries of the Greek form of the Christian faith. The policy of the Czars in this respect was undeniably sagacious, and it is impossible to pronounce the names they have be stowed upon their new creations without being reminded of the ancient splendour of the Byzantine and Macedo nian empires, and of the earlier and purer fame of the free republics of the Hellenic tribes. —Morning Chronicle' Tan FAREWELL BANQUET AT BOULOGNE.—We under stand that the account which we published yesterday of the farewell banquet given by the Emperor _Napoleon to Prince Albert was erroneous, so far as re gards the s peeches stated to have been delivered by the Imperial host and his royal guest. Our correspondent, who could not have been present on the occasion, must have been misinformed on the subject, no such speeches having been made either by the Emperor or the Prince.
