The instructions issued to the troops before starting on the Expedition against the Crimea have been duly published, and will be found in another part of this day's impression. They appear to have been carefully and judiciously framed, taking all necessary precautions for the safe landing of the Allied Forces, and enabling them to carry out the great object in which they are engaged—the capture of Sebastopol, and the destruction or transfer to another flag of the Russian Fleet, now skulking beneath its batteries. If any doubt could have been entertained, after the admirable proclamation of Marshal ST. ARNAUD, as to the intentions of the Naval and Military Commanders, it would be set at rest by the publication of this highly-important and inte resting document, the very commencement whereof states that " the invasion of the Crimea" had been determined upon. This invasion could have but one object. Its destination is clearly the Russian stronghold. Were it otherwise, it would only lead to a very useless expenditure of human life, and the total destruction of the characters of those who had the control and management of the un dertaking ; and we may rely on the distinguished and gallant men engaged, that when once the sword is fairly drawn, when the French and English troops are pitted against the adversary, ' there will no longer be any listlessness or apathy perceptible. This is not the moment, then, to complain of the inactivity that has heretofore pre vailed, albeit it depressed the spirits and deci mated. the ranks of the Allied Armies, and although it enabled the CZAR, to make the most ener getic preparations for giving the assailants a warm reception, and materially enhancing the difficulties they Would have to encounter and overcome. The expedition would not, however, have been undertaken unless it appeared to the experienced and gallant officers entrusted with the ' charge that every impediment could be sur mounted, and the 'Elision-Jack and Tricolour sub- stituted for the Eagle on the captured forts of the, great Russian arsenal. • - Although the place selected for the landing h as not been exactly specified, it is positively asserted that two points have been indicated, one of which will witness the disembarkation. They both lie to the. northward of Sebastopol—the One about seven or eight, the other fifteen, miles from the town ; and it is understood that the ultimate choice will depend on the nature of the opposition that may be offered at either loca lity. The time allowed, after the intended -=- expedition was fully known, would enable the Russians to throw up entrenchments, in order , to resist the fi rs t l an di ng . B at if , as we believe to be the fact, our heavy vessels of war can get to within a quarter of a mile of the beach, a speedy account would be rendered of any tern ,r, . r.. Pry works that could p oss ibl y h ave b een con ziP 4d -Orue during the interval. As the broadsides ( 4 7 ./ eZ-- ..: .b,i ii i ii o tei \ command not merely the point or points '''''' ._..,J ,: _ e - v e ` 1.17 4 '-' l l,/ i 7 dppralT but ( tie _ ( ** ......_, at least a mile and a half inland, _ . .. . . . . se" that au serious • ••4 s:+t -.. , , Y interruption CM V t# - \ \:'% ' ;',...-,---:, - - ' ' r--^ • ' --- -7: • liadVdS.M.:!br be given. A little annoyance may, unquestion ably, be occasioned, and possibly som e loss. Bat that is all, and such a resistance would excite the enthusiasm rather than damp the spirits of the soldiers. It may be remarked that the landing of troops even under far less favourable circum stances, and with less potent assistance, has in variably proved successful. The men are, in fact, thrown on the shore. They must make good their footing. They know well that they cannot re treat, and, therefore, the preliminary success being of literally vital consequence, it is, as we have stated, invariably accomplished, and that without such serious losses as might, from the apparent difficulties of the undertaking, be anticipated. The boats are all to be found in order, on the off shore side of the different vessels ready to form the line abreast, on the signal being given from the Agamemnon. They are to keep " a space of 20 feet clear of the oars of each other," so that there may be no "fouling," while at the same time they will be sufficiently close for mutual support and assistance. The form of advance is to be " in line, abreast, and the greatest care will be taken to preserve the line, so that no boat ad vance beyond it, or fall into the rear, but all will pull to the shore stoutly and steadily, preserv ing the strictest silence." This is a very judicious arrangement, preventing the struggle for the post of honour, which might otherwise take place, and which, by landing the men in small bodies, in place of simultaneously, would probably occasion a needless sacrifice of human life. It is only necessary to add, on this part of the case, that three divisions are to be formed by the boats, which will be in the following order, viz. : "First Division—All launches and Turkish pin naces from the sailing ships of the fleet, commenc ing with the Britannia's boats on the extreme right, and ending with the Diamond's troop boats, on the left of the divisiori. Second Division— All paddle-box boats of the war steamers towed by their own cutters, commencing with the Furi ous on the right of_ the division, and terminating with the Fury on the left. Third Division--All boats of the transport service, commencing with the boats of the Emperor on the right of the division, and ending with the Gertrude on the left, except ing the ships Monarchy, No. 60; Harkaway, 39 ; Talavera, 98 ; Mary Ann, 42 ; Calliope, 42 ; Echunga, 44 ; which are not to send boats until, they are cleared of their artillery, that land with the Light Division ; after which their boats will proceed to the ships pointed out to them. The First Division will take the right, the Third Division the centre, the Second Division on the left of the line. Britannia's first boat on the right, Diamond's the last boat on the left. The Emperor's boat next to Diamond's, the first boat on the right, and the Gertrude's, No. 54, the last boat on the left. The Furious the first boa on the right, next to Gertrude's, and the Fury's the last boat on the left." The troops on landing will " form in con tiguous columns, at a quarter distance." Till that is effected, they are not even to load—a useful pre caution to prevent any premature " fusillade," that would be worse than useless, and to keep the ammunition perfectly dry. Both officers and men are to take wish them three days' provisions, consisting of bread, and salt meat ready cooked, and the men also to have their " canteens filled with water." So equitably is everything ar ranged that the officers are only to take with them " what they can carry themselves." In such an emergency they will not be allowed to place extra burdens on any, even on their own servants, who, as " fighting men," will have to look out for themselves. The first landing is to be effected by the infantry, the cavalry being withheld until the position is secured. We may now, as we have stated, anticipate at any moment the execution of these judicious arrangements, and the successful landing of the troops. After that, many days cannot elapse before something decisive has been accomplished. We dread not the result, when it depends not on the negotiations of slippery diplomatists, but on the valour and energy of the disciplined troops of France and England, engaged in a righteous cause. The present moment inspires every heart which loves its country with two of the deepest and noblest of religious sentiments—gratitude and trust. The former, too, is ever the parent of the latter. We cannot withhold our confidence where we feel grateful ; and insensible, indeed, must be the bosom which does not remember with thank fulness at the present time Him who has " fed us with the finest of the wheat." Not only has the extent of land sown, for human food been un usually large, and the yield unusually abundant, but the quality is surpassingly good. Three such coincidences are rare, and we may add yet a fourth —the general goodness of the wheat crop through out Europe and the United States. Indeed there appears to be no deduction from the unusual bounty of PROVIDENCE this year but the failure of the Ihdian corn crop in America, a failure which , will be chiefly felt in the price of animal food in that country. The slight rise in price of wheat lately must not lessen our sense of the boon conferred on us. We fully believe it is merely the result of the determination of agriculturists not to submit to low prices just yet —a determination which the agricultural profits of last season enable them to maintain. If this be the case, farmers must sell at last, and we shall only have food the lower ultimately for their present holding back. At the worst the fall even now is very great, and nei ther farmers, millers, nor bakers can long stand between us and the full bounties of PROVIDENCE. Let us, then, respond with cheerfulness to the appointment of a Thanksgiving Day. The QUEEN, as head of her own Church, has fixed it for that Church ; other Christian Churches throughout the land will gladly accept it ; indeed, , for ourselves, we should be pleased to see in appointments of this kind a graceful recognition of the facts developed by the religious census ; we mean that, accompanying the QyzErr's command to those of whose Church she is the acknowledged head, there should be a request to all her subjects of other Christian communions to join in like observances. Such Royal courtesy would befit both the character of our common national faith, r and the actual relation of religious communities to the state. It is time now not merely to drop threatening clauses from Royal religious procla mations, but to introduce others indicating that Royalty is interested in the sincere worship of all the denominations it protects. Protestant and Catholic Dissenters outnumber in Britain the worshippers of the State Churches, and their thanksgivings, as equally acceptable to the common GOD and SAVIOUR, should be equally sought by all who as k th e N a ti on ' s re li g i ous gra tit u d e. While rejoicing, however, in th e b oun ti es o f 114 vEN, we are just now s p ec i a lly i nv it e d a l so t o trust the uncertain future to the hands o f th e ALXIGH TY . Not only is an al arm i ng p es til ence reminding us more on th ou an r xiK comm En o , nl s y o o t f h o a u t rwiitnhdia vidual dependenc e bountiful aut umn Death seem to havtehveisitendgeolsurtogether and of of lan L d ife but, at the moment we write, we are in hourly . expectation of tidings respecting the most hopeful expplition we ever sent forth. We see, indeed, no military or naval reasons whatever for a shade of m i sg i v i ng ; we feel most frequently as if our brave lads, disembarked in the most skilful manner, would soon carry all before them ; and that the storming of the marauder's stronghold would be very early intelligence. If we have a fear, it is lest the too great ardour of the I liberated and honourably emul ous troops should 1 . betray them into rashneso. What o tin be imposailge I to the highest discipline, combined with the most eager courage, and armed with the best imple ments of modern warfare ? And then the Right of our cause. Never in history hare England and France fought for more unselfish objects. Lord EYMOUTH'S expedition against Algiers was not more in the interests of European humanity. It is impossible not to believe that the judgment of HEAVEN is on the side of those who sacrifice so much to check a reckless, and withal a hypocriti cal and blasphemous tyrant—a being who can thank GOD for his butcheries, and pretend religion as an excuse for gratifying ambition and over running his neighbour's peaceful territories. It is difficult to believe that the selfish, profane, and barbarous ambition of NICHOLAS are not more of fensive to the Supreme Court of the Universe than even to all honest earthly Courts ; and yet, after all our confidence in our prowess, in our cause, and consequently in the approbation of HEAVEN, we cannot forget that the Right has not always triumphed at first, and that the ablest pre parations and the bravest soldiers may fail before unforeseen obstacles. The very tardiness of our rulers may need its chastisement, and may bring it. Bitter certainly will be the indignation of the whole country should it turn out that they have not allowed time for the only step which could insure the safety of Turkey. Severely will the wasters of the nation's money and the nation's opportunities be visited with the nation's dis pleasure if the present important attempt prove unsuccessful. Under these circumstances it is with a calm reliance on PROVIDENCE that we await tidings which may quite possibly meet the eyes of our readers at the same time with what we now write. Such unrighteous Armadas as those of the Athenians, in ancient times, against Syracuse, and of Spain against England, met the defeat they deserved, boundless as were the hopes with which they sailed, and better-founded hopes have often been disappointed ; taught, therefore, by history and experience, we restrain all boasting ; we remember that we are not omnipotent, but we reasonably hope much from careful preparations, and religiously hope still more from a righteous cause. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1854, COURT CIRCULAR. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mrs. Gladstone arrived in town yesterday from a visit to Sir Walter James, at Betteshanger, near Sandwich, Kent. The Earl of Clarendon left town yesterday, for the Grove, near Watford. Viscount Palmerston left Broadlands yesterday, for Shanklin, Isle of Wight. Despatches were sent yesterday from the Colonial Office to the Governors of Gibraltar and Malta, the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, and the Governors of Hong Kong and Ceylon. Txa COURT.—As at present arranged, her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, ac• companied by the younger branches of the royal family, and attended by the ladies and gentlemen of the house hold, will arrive at Windsor Castle on the 6th of next month, for their usual autumnal sojourn. His Excellency Baron (Charles) von Hochschild, Swedish Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo tentiary at Berlin, has been appointed Swedish repre sentative at the Court of St. James's, in the place of Admiral Virgin, who retires in order to re-enter the naval service of his country. The baron is brother-in law to the Danish Envoy at Vienna. The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk are entertaining company at Glossop Hall, Derbyshire, where they in tend remaining until early in the ensuing month. The Earl of Clarendon left town yesterday for the Grove, near Watford. Lord and Lady Edward Thynne have arrived at ♦ch nacarry, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Malines bury, from the Marquis of Bath's shooting quarters at Strathconan, Inverness-shire. Lord and Lady Haddo and family, it is understood, arrived at Malta in his Highness the Pacha of Egypt's new steam-yacht, which had been placed at his lordship's disposal, from Southampton to Alexacdria. The climate of Egypt has been recommended for the improvement of the noble lord's health, which for some time past has been in a very indifferent state. Mr. and Mrs. Barton and the Misses Barton have left Edward's private hotel, George-street, for Edin burgh. MA.RRIAGS Ilf HIGH Li/IL—The marriage of Lady Mary Knox, the eldest daughter of the Earl and Coun tess of Ranfurly, with John Page Reade, Esq., of Stut ton House, Suffolk, is fixed, we understand, to take place this day at Dungannon Park, county Tyrone. We understand that a marriage is on the tapir, and is expected to be solemnised on the 28th instant, between the Hon. and Rev. William Lyttelton (brother to Lord Lyttelton, and nephew to Lord Spencer) and Miss Pepys, daughter of the Bishop of Worce s t er , an d cous i n to Lord Cottenham. THE PERRY DEFENCE FUND.—Already twelve Peers have followed the example so nobly set by the Duke of Marlborough, •and become subscribers to the Perry Defence Fund. Of the other house we only perceive three names—Mr. D. Seymour, M.P., Mr. Oueley Higgins, M.P., and Mr. Gore Langton, M.P. This does not say much for the independent spirit of the House of Commons, nor does it give us much confidence in the result of the discussion which must take place there as to the disgraceful proceedings at Windsor. At the Annual Licensing Meeting of the Magistrates for the Reading Division, the chairman said, " The Bench generally had long been of opinion that there was a sufficiency of public houses for all wants in this divi sion, and they most decidedly objected to granting any more licenses." SUICIDE BY A LADY'S MAID.—A young woman named Charlotte Challice, in the service of Mr. Waller, of Ramsgate, committed suicide on Thursday last, by throw ing herself over the cliff near Pegwell Bay. Her neck was broken by the fall, and death was instantaneous. THE DOWAGER QUEEN OF Sranr. —lt is understood that Beaumont Lodge, form"rly the residence of Lord Ash brook, has been taken for the Dowager Queen Christina, as the future residence of herself and youthful family, by her second husband, the Duke de Rializieres. Yesterday, several truck-loads of furniture, and other valuables, ar rived by the South-Western Railway at Datchet, and were immediately forwarded to Beaumont Lodge, whirl, is now being placed in thorough repair. Beaumont Lodge is delightfully situated near C mper's Hill, about three miles from Windsor Castle, and was recently sold to a London solicitor, who, in all probability, was em ployed by the Spanish royal family to make the pur chase. The grandees of Spain cannot leave the place where the Court resides without the royal permission ; and the Espana says that 20 petitions have been sent in to the major-domo of the Palace by members of that body for leave to go abroad. The bell which the Duke of Bedford, head of the Rus sell family, so graciously bestowed on the Church of Rossi, in the canton de Tilly-sar-Seulles, has been landed at Caen, and is at this moment at Mr. Barrow's, the English consul, from whence it is to be shortly trans ferred to Rosel. The church of this commune was built by the family of Lord John Russell, and on a recent occasion his lordship's brother and nephew (Lord Hast ings Russell), when visiting the locality, left with the poor of the parish substantial proofs of their munificence. AN UNLOOKY SHAVER.—A. hairdresser at Lyons, who was compromised in the disturbances of the Croix Rousse; in 1849, left the country, and settled himself at Valpa raiso, from whence his friends had until lately been in the habit of receiving frequent letters. His correspon dence suddenly ceased, and the cause of it was a few days since communicated to them. About two months ago, while engaged in shaving a bialtese sailor, a dog ran into the shop, and, touching his leg, caused him. to inflict a slight cut on the chin of his customer, who im mediately drew a pistol from his pocket and killed the barber on the spot. The Maltese was immediately ar rested, and lodged in prison. DEATH OP A SCOTTISH POET. —Walter Watson, the poet of Kirkintilloch, died on the 14th inst., in the 75th year of his age. About the beginning of the present century, he appeared before the public a poet, in the songs "Jocltie's far Awa'," " Sae will we Yet," and others, which have since then acquired great popularity. Walter was a weaver to trade. In the earlier part of his life he served in the Scots Greys. Independent of his merit as one of the best of our minor Scottish poets, he was a good and worthy man, beloved by all who knew him. _ _ SELLING A WIFE.—The Bolton Chronicle narrates a bona fide case of selling a wife to have occurred at Bury. A labouring man named Bradsley suspected his wife of being on too intimate terms with a fellow-labourer named Fletcher. One evening, a fortnight ago, the two men repaired to a tap-room, and there Bradsley agreed to part with his wife to Fletcher for a sovereign ; Fletcher paid down the money, and took the woman home. The affair created such disgust amongst the neighbours that both parties were compelled to leave their residences ; they have also been both dismissed from their employment. SOCIETY FOE THE PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL.— The annual meeting of the venerable Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts will be held in Liverpool next week, and its claims to public support advocated by some of the most distinguished dignitaries of the Church. On Sunday sermons will be preached at many of the churches, and collections made under the authority of the Queen's Letter. At St. Peter's Church the Archbishop of Dublin will preach in the forenoon, and the Bishop of New Zealand will preach at St. Augustine's Church in the forenoon, at St. Nicholas' Church in the afternoon, and at St. John's, Fair field, is the evening ; while the Rev. Rector Camp bell will preach in the forenoon at St. Mary's, Gras sendale. The annual meeting in behalf of the so ciety will be held on Monday evening, at the Col legiate Institution.

LATEST NEWS. THE WAR. DESTRUCTION OF THE BATTERIES OF ODESSA. VIENNA, Wll IWESDAS MORNING. The Fremden Bladtt states that on the 13th all the strand batteries recently erected at Odessa were destroyed by part of the allied fleet. On the 12th a powder magazine exploded at Perekop. There is said to have been great loss of life on the part of the Russians ; two vessels of the Allies were also damaged. BOMBARDMENT OF ANAPA. VIENNA, WEDNESDAY. Since the 7th Anapa has been bombarded by the squadron under Admiral Lyons. The main fleet has sailed to Sebastopol, and on its arrival the Russian fleet, which lay outside, re turned into port. The Presse states that, on the 7th, a Russian steamer landed a detachment of Cossacks at Galatz, who destroyed the magazines of the Danubian Steam Company, and seized the supply of coals. Philippesco, the commander of the Moldavian artillery, has been sent under escort to Russia. This measure has caused general indignation. CAPTURE OF A RUSSIAN EXPRESS STEAMER. The English are said to have captured a Russian express steamer, with important despatches, off Sebastopol. GALATZ, SEPT. 13. Fifty Anglo-French ships are off the coast be tween Akermann and Odessa. The main fleet is still at Serpents Island. The Fury is said to have fallen in with a Russian fleet reconnoitring, 10 German or 48 English miles from Sebastopol, and to have escaped from it with difficulty. VIENNA, TUESDAY EVENING. There is not a Russian soldier now either in Wallachia or the Dobrudscha. Since the 24th of August Prince Menschikoff has been in incessant activity between Perekop and Sebastopol, organising a levy en masse. It is said here that a part of the expeditionary corps of General Baraguay d'Hilliers will leave France in the course of the month of September to reinforce the army in the Black Sea. THE EXPEDITION TO THE CRIMEA. We received the following from Constantinople, this morning. Our letters are dated the 7th. Amongst the desperate means of defence resorted to, it is said that the Russians have undermined all the ground in the vicinity of the outworks, and even at many points on the Chersonese coast, where a landing is thought likely or possible. In the expectation of great sacrifices and severe contests that must attend the attack upon Sebas topol, which is certain to make a most obstinate resistance, the commanders of the expedition have made every arrangement for the wounded, and orders have been sent to Constantinople to keep the hospitals in readiness for the reception of 10,000 men. There is a report that the bay of Eupatoria is the place chosen for landing; near it is the town of the same name, with 10,000 inhabitants, and it is dis tant 40 miles from &bastGpol. From thence the armies would push on to Simferopol, the capital of the Crimea, near which an armyof 40,000 Russians is said to be encamped. Though it is well known that a landing in the immediate vicinity of Sebas topol has been strongly opposed in the councils lately held at Varna, I have nevertheless good rea son to believe that it will be carried out, and there fore do not place confidence in the above report of disembarkation in the bay of Eupatoria. No decisive news from the Crimea can reach Con stantinople before the end of this month, and con sequently it will be the Bth or 10th of next month before anything is known in England. The landing will, it is estimated, be effected on or about the 11th or 12th—not before. There is a rumour that the Emperor himself is at Sebastopol. Lord Raglan's general order upon the attack on the Crimea is plain, and to the pur pose, without bombast, and with his lordship's usual good taste. It is stated that Brigadier-Ge neral Airey has succeeded General Lord de Ros as Quartermaster -General of the army, General Cod ringtou taking the command of the Ist brigade of the light division. The troops are to land with three days' provisions ; the men's knapsacks to be left on board ship ; firelocks not to be loaded on disembarkation, which is to be carried out in silence. It is very difficult to ascertain the nu merical strength of the expeditionary force, but, at a guess, the English army numbers about 22,000, the French 24,000, and the Turks about 10,00 J. Then we have the combined fleets to reckon. I hope my next may be written from Sebas topol, telling you that we have succeeded in our trip, even to the satisfaction of the British public. You have all been astonished at the trip of the Vladimir ; but what will you say to the following, if true, but it is commonly talked of :—On the evening of the 31st ult., of the Ist inst., a Russian steamer came to the entrance of this bay, and ac tually sent two of her boats amongst us to recon noitre. This may be a " sham," but I give it to you as I got it. The Vladimir business was voted a sham at first. Ganeral Levaillant, commanding the sth division of the French army, remains in command of all the troops at Varna. He will proceed to Sebastopol with the second expedition, which will be composed of 20,000 men, and 5,000 or 6,000 horses. An Ottoman regiment of Lancers forms part of this expedition. Marshal St. Arnaud and Lord Raglan, accom panied by Sir John Burgoyne and other generals of artillery and engineers, will proceed in front of the fleets to reconnoitre, and choose the spot on the coast best adapted for effecting a landing. The Copirte Zeitung gives the following short sketch of the plan of the expedition. Operations were to begin on the 10th, from the Snake Islands (Ilan Adassi), lying to the east of the mouth of the Danube. Here the transport ,chips, laden with surplus stores, remain. One division of the fleet blockades Sebastopol. The troops are to be landed, or rather were, for we may presume this to have been already effected, to the north of the Crimea, probably near Perekop, thus completely cutting off all reinforcements from the interior of Russia. The mail steamers remain stationed en echelon between the Crimes and the Snake Islands. THE BRITISH EXPEDITION. VARNA BAY, OFF VARNA, Sept. 4.—A commu nication from here, after dilating, at great length, upon the sailing of the expedition, says—From all we can hear, it is most probable that the Turks will be placed in the centre, that the English will take the left, and that the French will take the right of the line of operations. However, even the programme agreed upon is not to be received as final and unalterable—nor, indeed, is anything which may be said or written in auticipation of actual proceedings to be regarded as conclusive, for at the last moment changes may take place, and we all know that the best laid schemes go often astray. So far, however, up to a certain date, the aut.orities at sea and land had determined to arrange the carriage of the troops according to this order, nor do I foresee that any material change can be made in it. The Himalaya, Capt. KuHock, which had been left lying useless in the Golden Horn for three long weeks, received orders to go to Varna last Wed nesday. The orders reached Scutari at three o'clock—at 5.30 p.m. the magnificent vessel was under weigh rushing through the opposing current of the Bosphorus like a dolphin, and astonishing the officers of the Caradoo as she flew past them at Therapia. She anchored at 0.30 a.m. the follow ing morning, and immediately proceeded to take on hoard the Bth Royal Irish Hussars and the 17th Lancers. Lord Cardigan commanding the Light Cavalry Brigade, and his staff, came on board on Friday. The Simla, which had, we hear, a narrow escape of being burnt, came up from Constantinople later in the day ; she takes the 4th Light Dragoons. On Saturday the Columbo arrived from the Bos phorus with the 20th Regiment on board. THE PRINCIPALITIES. The subjoined is the speech which the Ottoman Commissary, Dervish Paella, addressed to the members of the Administrative Council on the occasion of the Ministerial modification : "Gentlemen,—Th e occupation by the Russians, while bringing all the evils of an iniquitous war, has arbitrarily overthrown the state of things established in Wallachia, and ever since then the country has been deprived of its legal administration. " At present such a situation could .not be tolerated without indifference to the benevolent intentions and the sentiments of paternal solicitude of our gracious Sovereign, who has deigned to specially charge me to watch, above all, over the maintenance of public order and tranquillity. " While waiting, therefore, for the ulterior provisions of his Imperial Majesty, as to that which concerns the restoration of a definitive administration, according to the privileges and immunities of the country, I have deemed it urgent and indispensable to form, in conjunc tion with his Highness the Generalissimo of the Otto man Imperial army, a provisional Administrative Council, composed out of your number, gentlemen, as follows : " The Grand Vornik Constantin Cantacuzene, Presi dent of the Council and Minister of the Interior. "The Bino Constantin Cheresco, Chief of the Militia. "The Grand Vornik Jean Philippesco, Minister of Finance. " The Logothete Jean Slatieano, Minister of Worship. " The Logothete Otdtetecheano, Comptroller. " The Logothete Jean Philippesco, Secretary of State. " The Cloutohar Jean Cantacuzene, Minister of Jus tice ad interim. " You will appreciate, gentlemen, all the importance of the duties which are thus intrusted to you. " Called on to conduct provisionally the administra tive affairs of the Principality, while conforming to the laws which govern it, you will have to join all your efforts, to redouble your zeal and activity, so that nothing, in your measures, can exceed the bounds of justice and equity traced out by the spirit and letter of the organic regulations. " Actuated by feelings of devotedness to the Govern ment of his Imperial Majesty, and by a sincere and legi mate affection for your country, your duty is to take care that an entire impartiality shall constantly preside over your labours; "By thus fulfilling your mission you will acquire, gentlemen, claims to the gratitude of the country. You will fully justify all the confidence which you deserve, and you will strengthen in us the conviction of having furnished our share, with his Highness the Generalissimo of the Ottoman Imperial army, to a measure salutary to the country, and one which, until a fresh order from the Sublime Porte, will not render any modification ne cessary, " In concluding, gentlemen, the communication which I have the honour to submit to you, I think it incum bent on me to especially invite you to comply with readiness and exactitude to all the orders which you might receive from his Highness the Generalissimo of the Ottoman Imperial army. "Be pleased, gentlemen, to receive the renewed as surance of my high consideration. " The Ottoman Imperial Commissary, "DERVISH. "Bucharest, 19th (31st), Aug., 1854." OMER PACHA'S PRESENT TO THE WALLACHIANS. Omer Paella has given the Wallachians 6 cannons taken from the Russians, instead of those which the latter stole when they left. PRINCE GORTSCHAKOFF AND HIS TROOPS. A letter from Jassy, Bth, in the Press of Vienna, says " It was at first intended that the Russian troops should make a halt of five days in this place, but this arrangement has now been changed, and they will continua their march oa the day following their arrival. About 30,000 men have already ar rived. The district of Bakan has been completely evacuated, and the camp at Mirezestie has been broken up. Numerous columns are marching into Bessarabia, by Berlud and Leova. In a general way the troops which arrive encamp in the neighbourhood, as there is not sufficient accommodation for theni in the town. A court-martial has been formed in order to try M. Philo peska, the officer of the Wallachian militia, who was arrested on the occasion of the incorporation of that militia in the Russian army. This court is com posed of a Russian colonel and two Wallachian offi cers devoted to the Russians, and one of whom has just received a gratification of 350 ducats. The order of General Budberg dismissing the Hetman Maurocor dato is founded on that officer being incapable of com manding a militia which had already given proofs of in subordination. Theodoritza Balsch, Minister of Finance, has been named provisional Hetman. He is a man ge nerally esteemed. It is said that the Austrian troops have been well received in Wallachia, but that sufficient measures bad not been adopted for their proper accom modation. This fact is attributed to the intrigues of a foreign consul who was at Bucharest." PRESENT TO SADYK PACHA. The President of the Administrative Council of Wallachia, M. Cantacuzene, wrote on the 29th ultimo to Mel iomed Sadyk Pacha, the Turkish com mander of Bucharest, to beg his acceptance of a quantity of blue cloth, sufficient to clothe 100 sol diers, of 300 shirts, 300 pairs of linen drawers, and 10 saddle-horses, as a testimony of gratitude for the perfect discipline and order maintained by the regiment of Cossacks of the Sultan, commanded by Sadyk, since their entrance into the city. IVlehmed Sadyk Pacha wrote a suitable reply. A letter from Vienna, of the 15th, says General Hess is informed by Omer Pacha of all the move ments of the Turkish troops, and Omer Pacha of those of the Austrians; in fact not the slightest change takes place in the position of the respec tive troops without a previous understanding be tween the two generals. The principal post at Bu charest is occupied alternatively by Austrian, Turkish, and Wallachian troops. The Austrians destined to form the garrison of Giurgevo left for that place on the Bth. Baron Von Hess is shortly expected at Bucharest. The head-quarters of the Turks are about to be removed to Ibraila, which with Galatz and Fockshani are already occupied by the Turks. The cholera is disappearing from Wallachia. All the roads which lead from the Sereth to the Pruth are filled with Russian troops, artillery, and baggage carts, and it is almost impossible for travellers to proceed along them. The Russians destroy the bridges and roads after passing over them, and send agents from vil lage to village to endeavour to persuade the inha bitants, by brilliant promises, to emigrate with them to Bessarabia. They carry off with them, either after purchase or by violence, oxen and all other live stock. The public treasuries of Mol davia have been emptied. The Austrian troops are to enter Moldavia in the beginning of October." We read in the _Mats :—" The following is dcubtless the origin of the reports which have been current relative to a disagreement which has arisen between the Austrian and Turkish authorities in Wallachia. in the proclamation by which Baron de Hess announced the entrance of the Austrians, it was said that application on every matter must be made to the Austrian authorities. Omer Pacha is said to have remonstrated against this expres sion, which appeared to him to be an encroachment on the rights of the Sultan. On consulting the .German text, it was found that the error arose either from the person who copied it, or from him who translated it into Wallachian. The German text stated that application was to be made to the Austrian military authorities on all matters relating to the Austrian troops. It would, there fore, appear that there is no well founded ground for the reports of a misunderstanding." There seems to be now no doubt that the Turks will cross the Danube into Bessarabia, somewhere in the neighbourhood of Ismael. According to our last advices from Galatz, between that place and Ibraila a great number of river boats were collect ing, which were to go further down the stream to Isatchka, to be made use of in the passage of the Turkish troops. CONSTANTINOPLE. Dr. Spitzer, ex-physician of the Sultan Abd-ul- Medjid, and formerly Councillor of Legation of the Sublime Porte in Austria, has just been recalled to Constantinople. M. Spitzer, who is an Austrian by birth, has always been in great favour with the Sultan, and also with the Sultana Valid& _ Constantinople advices of the 7th enable us to lay before our readers some further account of Schamyl's movements. Between the 26th of Au gust and the Ist of September the Circassian chief entered the northern part •of Georgia with 18,000 men, and advanced to the Kour. The centre, which he commanded in person, was at Achalgori on the 28th of August ; the right wing, under the Emir Hassan Emin, was at Gun, on the Kour, at the same date ; and the left wing, under Emir Chupli Emin, was at Mycht, a little to the north of Teflis. The Rus sians were taken completely by surprise, and re treated, after a very feeble resistance, into the mountains. An important result of the razzia was that the Russians were immediately obliged to re linquish all idea of conquest in Turkish Armenia. The Turkish Minister who has left Persia is said " to have received leave of absence," but at such a moment this is not probable. Fezhai (Stein) has been definitively appointed Quartermas ter-General in Anatolia, instead of Koursehid Pasha (Guyon). AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Sept. 16.—The Sebastopol fever is ex cessively violent here, and, as it must be still more so in England, all the intelligence connected with the great expedition which has reached this city will be welcome. It is positively known that the whole fleet had quitted the Bulgarian coast on the morning of the Bth ; and the Copirt. Zeitung's cor respondent has learnt from Galatz that the first division of " the Armada"—a word displeasing to British eyes and ears—had cast anchor near Ilan Adassi (Serpents Island), between the Sulina and Kilia mouths of the Danube, on the 9th. We are further informed that the fleets will proceed from Serpents Island to the isthmus of Perekop, " which is now almost without troops ;" but this is not likely, although Austrian engineers have often expressed their astonishment that so little notice has been taken of a point which is so vulnerable. No good object could now be attained by attacking Perekop, as the troops intended for the defence of the Crimea must already been iu the peninsula, and some weeks must elapse before reinforcements from Kherson and the Upper Taurida can reach Sebastopol. No civilian who saw the expedition start was inclined to doubt that it would be successful. New fieldworks have been constructed on the heights around Sebastopol, and the Russians in Odessa do not seem to feel any alarm for the fate of that fortress. The troops are hurrying out of Moldavia with such breathless haste, that it is evident reinforce ments are to be sent to the Crimea immediately. Forced marches without a single day's rest are ruinous to an army, and, even if the greatest expedition is used, none of the troops now crossing the Pruth can reach the Isthmus of Perekop in less than three weeks or a month. One of the ver sions in circulation relative to the intended operations of the allies is, that Kherson, a strongly fortified place, with docks for shipbuilding, is to be destroyed, but the person who conceived this idea can have no knowledge whatever of the situation of Kherson. Before the allies could get, to the place in question, which is at the em bouchure of the Dniester, they would have to take the fortresses of Otzakoff and Kinburn. The believers and disbelievers in the sincerity of Austria are about equal in number, but if the latter knew what a feverish longing there is in our official circles for news of the fall of Sebastopol many of them would be cured of their incredulity. My opinion in re • spect to the policy of Austria is unchanged. The idea that she is playing "booty" with Russia, is positively ridiculous, but that she is most anxious to avoid coming to blows with her neighbour is most certain. A favourite phrase here is :—" The Western Powers would willingly make a cat's-paw of Austria," but it appears to me that Austria is resolved to take every advantage of the exertions of the allies. As she herself says, she has already secured a " pledge," and she foresees that if Sebas topol falls she will have nothing to fear from Russia during the winter. On the other hand, if the attack on the great fortress should fail, the Emperor Nicholas will have leisure during the next few months to pay particular attention to the Austrians in Moldavia and Wallachia. It must again be repeated that the Emperor Francis Joseph is not likely to strike the first blow, but, if the j Russians should endeavour to recross the Pruth, a war between the two empires is inevitable. To-day the Lloyd has returned to Prussia, and the Zeit, which paper has informed the politicians on the Spree that the Austrian occupation of the , Principalities "is not only with the consent of ti Russia, but also with that of the Porte." It is notorious that Austria never demanded the per mission of Russia to enter Moldavia and Wallachia, " but that her demand for their evacuation was backed by a couple of hundred,thousand bayonets." The Vienna journalist, who in this matter probably utters the opinions of persons high in office, ex presses his belief that the success of the Anglo- French expedition would induce the Czar to accept the " four conditions." It is, however, considered questionable whether the Western Powers would then be satisfied with the conditions alluded to. Yesterday the Turkish Minister delivered a hatti solteriff to the Hospodar Stirbey, who resides at Baden. The Sultan orders the Hospodar to return to his post, and Stirbey will leave Austria on the 25th. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Sept. 17.—1 t has been repeated to satiety that the Western Powers have never urged Prussia to take up arms against the Czar. Such a demand they well knew from the commencement would be fruitless. They have hoped, however, and have had grounds to hope at various periods since the commencement of the Vienna confer encu, that Prussia would exert the full weight of her moral influence in favour of the only means for restoring peace, which is as much in her own interest as in that of the Powers upon whom the whole burdens and risks of war have fallen. They hoped that Prussia would, as a great European power, shake herself loose from all external and internal trammels, and treat the mighty question at issue from an elevated and ge neral point of view, and not from that which is cir cumscribed by the narrow horizon of specialities and individualisms. They hoped that Prussia, in lieu of occupying herself with petty German ri valries and questions of precedence, or with con stantly seeking to play quart in tierce with Aus tria, would start from the same goal with her, not only as regarded German interests, equally dear to both, but as regarded the interests of entire Europe. France and England hoped, above all, if Prussia should determine neither to lend her active nor frank and full moral aid, that she would maintain the strictest and most sincere moral neu trality, as was and is the bounden duty of a State professing rigid impartiality and a desire for peace, and an earnest intention to avoid injury to one party or the other. These hopes have been constantly frustrated, and this in a manner within the last fortnight which must have produced as much pain as sur prise to the Cabinets of Paris and London. The Prussian Correspondence announces that the Russian authorities have determined to render all foreigners coming to or residing within the Czar's dominions liable to the conscription laws, who are not provided with minute attestations of their birth, or absolute and immediate relations as sub jects of foreign States. In consequence of this the Prussian consulate at Warsaw and the home au thorities have been instructed to provide all bona fide Prussian subjects with the required docu ments. It is to be supposed that the consulates, legations, and home authorities of all other States will be provided with similar instructions. The Breslau Gazette asserts, under the head of Vienna, the 14th, that Lord Westmoreland and M. de Bourqueney have formally announced to the Austrian Cabinet that England and France fully participate in the view taken by Austria of the Russian reply ; and further, that the two Powers have declared themselves to be placed under the necessity of obtaining a pledge for peace by a mili tary operation in the Black Sea, before the ap proach of winter. A dozen journals assert, under date from Vienna, that the Prussian Cabinet has announced that its policy in regard to Russia will henceforth be in strict conformity with the letter and spirit of the circular of the 3d of September. The Catholic journal Volks-Halle has again been confiscated at Cologne, for an article entitled " Something more relative to the well-known Cir cular (issued by the Minister of the Interior) against the Clergy." It is rumoured, but probably upon insufficient grounds, that efforts are being made to induce other German Governments to join that of Prussia in excluding the Vienna Lloyd. The Director-General of Police recentlyrequested the editors of newspapers to wait upon him, and, whilst he acknowledged the vast utility of the pub lic press and its influence, urged them, as Prussian patriots, to abstain from publishing articles which might tend to increase or cause external or internal complications. On this occasion M. de Ilinckeldy, with his usual sagacity, appealed solely to the good feeling and patriotism of the gentlemen present. The New Prussian Gazette of the 16th says : "We learn from a good source that the United States have purchased the principality of Monaco, with the intention of establishine , there a naval station." A ieuter from Berlin, 16th, says :—" The convo cation of the First Chamber on the new bases ap pears to be not only decided on, as was lately an nounced by the New Prussian Gazette, but the period of its meeting has been definitively fixed, and the official journal will shortly publish the documents relative to that meeting." POLAND. The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort has the fol lowing from Posen, dated the 15th :_" Informa tion has been received from a good source that the whole of Poland, comprised between the Prussian frontier and Warsaw, is completely deprived of troops, and that on the whole of the western frontier only a few Cossacks and veterans are to be seen. The marches and coun termarches which were seen before have now completely ceased. Prince Paskiewitch will not return to the army of the south, of which he had accepted the command in spite of himself. Ile had from the very outset disapproved of the Russian plan of operations, and pretended that the army ought to have returned on the Pruth as soon as the attitude of Austria became doubtful. It is evident that the Russians have retired from strategical motiveg. Kiev is to be fortified, and a great number of houses have been already thrown down for that purpose."' RUSSIA. According to reports from St. Petersburg, wig Berlin, the following reinforcements have been marched off with ail possible expedition to the Crimea :—The second brigade, seventeenth division (second division), 6th corps and 6th Rifles, nine battalions ; the first brigade, fourteenth division (second division), sth corps, eight battalions, with the 14th Artillery brigade (4th corps), consisting of four batteries with forty field pieces nominally. It is added that the remainder of the 6th corps, of which one division is in Asia, and fought near Kars, is ordered to the Crimea, with all the dis posable cavalry from the colonies. The infantry are forwarded as much as possible in waggons. BELGIUM. M. Forgeur, member •of the Belgian Senate, was summoned on Friday to wait on the King , and was received by his Majesty at one o'clock "lf we are well informed," says the IndePe 9 " dance of Brussels, " this interview, like that of M. Delfosse, related to the Ministerial crisis.' The Emancipation of Brussels says DIUSt not be concluded from these words of the locle peildamce that M. Forgeur was charged to fool a new Cabinet, for the present Ministers had con sented some days back to remain in office. On. Saturday, they sat in council from one o'clock till three, and came to an agreement relative tote e s questions which had sprung up. All the Mi nis . were present. We can confirm the news willc u we gave a short time past of the approaching col" vocation of the Chambers. The date of October 17 is maintained up to the present time." FRANCE. The Moniteur announces that the Emperor left Paris yesterday for Bordeaux, to meet the gu l " press. He was accompanied by General Espinaalle and Colonel Fleury, his aides-de-camp ; and by Baron de Menneval, one of his officiers d'ordon• nance.

THE lIECAL OF THE RUSSIAN Alifl 3 - 41ge SADOR FROM VIENNA. . , The Debats of yesterday, in a very long not ice.° ! ' the recal of the Russian Ambassador, M. de Mer e ; dorff, from Vienna, communicates some illf ° T a t tion, which explains the cause of his recal, an"tio the same time clears up certain p juts of, • Eastern question which wer e involved in dou b t " When M. de Meyendorff arrived at Vienna, at the end of 1850, the remembrance of the services which Ru had rendered to Austria was still fresh, and although 'ea Prince de Schwartzenberg, the Prime Minister, she w . a wish more than once to avail himself of the first opi portunity of withdrawing Austria from the influenee k ft the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, and made use of t,Z e ' remark which has been so often repeated— ri.-1;1, moment is not far distant when Austria will asto 1 . ; the world by the grandeur of her ingratitude,' the rel tions were friendly because the Minister of the Ell ror Nicholas knew that he could rely on the good , ;en era n , _ 4 . of the Emperor Francis Joseph, and on tho co- op " of Prince de Metternich, whose feelings were in go n ,7 e . rather unfavourable to Prince de Schwartzenberg..„lo death of this minister strengthened the cre dit of At• dug fend not only because he had no l on g er to fend himself against a constant and alw a y s danger° ill will, but also because he was co nnected by a clo s e family alliance to the new Minister of Foreign Affair uo 7 . M. de Meyendorff having married Mlle. de Bit Schauenstein, sister of the new inivi ster. No one _ that time foresaw the conflict which w as soon to brea k out at Constantinople, and to lead Europe into the cony plications of war. As soon as Russia raised the fortni• dable questions by which the whole of Europe is excited, M. de Meyendorff applied hims'elf to draw the alliance of the three Courts n,ore close, arid to secure at least the neutrality of Austria and Prussia under all possible eventualities. He thought he had succeeded, and he did nOt hesitate to answer for his success to his sovereign on his own personal guarantee. The Emperor' Nicholas asked no more, and in fact that neutrality was sufficient for him, because he received a letter from Lon don at the same time, which said that there was no reason for him to feel any uneasiness about an alliance. between France and England, as it was an impossibility , and no one would listen to it. About this same time M. de Meyendorff was called to St. Petersburg, tb,.! Emperor wishing to have personal communication, witi! him. This was the moment when he was in the highest favour ; and the Emperor testified such great satisfaction and such unlimited confidence in him that some ala rm was felt for M. de Nesselrode. The old Russian nobility' felt irritated, and took part with the old Chanceilefti. What were the real designs of the Emperor of Russ ia ' ' t, 1853 ? That is a point which it would be very import an t. to clear up. M. de Meyendorff certainly knew dhelt. and doubtless he thought so when he wrote to b"' friends in Paris •London and Berlin—' Ido n ot P re ; tend to prophesy, but I think: I may say that the ge neral peace of Europe will not last a year, and that n efere, that time has expired we shall witness great e'ree ts a M. de Meyendorff returned to Vienna, where he foun d that great changes had taken place, and he expitiekeo himself to Prince de Metternich on the subject. care,' said the old chancellor to him; from what I hai; just heard I understand that your Emperor wi shes et proceed to great lengths against Turkey; let .hire r etie „ on what he is about, and let him consider that - moment is not opportune for battering that goverpii; ment in breach. Be assured that if he does no t i the East remain quiet, the face of things t change throughout all Europe, and I would , nee. answer for any thing.' I regret to tell' you, plied M. de Meyendorff, that the Emperor se': things in quite a different light ; and the instruction:: which be has given to me compel me to press r da to take a decisive part.' Well, then,' said 3 1 . Metternich, I tell you beforehand that I cannot On' scientiously remain silent under such grave cireurnstaneu.es' and that I shall warn the Emperor my master. s - ' - +A c will not follow you in the path into wh ic h you wish lead him ; he will not follow you in it because he osli not do so, and your sovereign, you ma y b e li eve we, w il y in the end find himself isolated in the midst of Europe. A few days after this conversation, which was M uch talked of at all the Cou r t s o f G ermany, the Emperor of Austria wrote an auto gra ph l etter to t h e EmPerc r Nicholas (June, 1853), i n w hi c h h e sa id , that he wa ulci ,.. leave in his hands all th a t it was necessary t o do a' Constantinople ; that he approved of it all befor e hand, and that he would hold himself in readiness for all.' This was a great triumph for M. de M°)' sc:, endorff, but it was an ephemeral one, which "; to be followed by a great fall. In fact, a reserve's despatch was soon after received at Berlin and in London, in which M. Buol expressly declared that if the Emperor Nicholas made war on Turkey, Austria wou l d not second him. M. de Buol, moreover, in defining an in limiting the neutrality of Austria allowed the case t o be seen at which that neutrality would cease. This M g the result of the inspirations of M. de Metternich. 0 "' de Meyendorff had therefore deceived himself, and the error of judgment was shown more and more every do , : by events ; the mission of Count Orloff gave him the last • blow. The object of that mission has been frequently mentioned, but it might have been added that the RIO: sian envoy was also charged to make direct and persona' representations to the Emperor Francis Joseph as to som e of his Ministers, and to advise their removal. The Ern' peror Nicholas thought he had more particularly to complain of M. de Buol, to whom he attributed Soule old feelings of resentment, he having filled the function's of Austrian Minister at St. Petersburg. It is stated that in delivering his letters of credence to the Emper or Nicholas he made a speech, in which he used the e xpree‘ lion—'sent by his government'—' charged by his g o ' vernment'—when the Emperor interrupted him rathe r roughly by saying, Speak of the Emperor, your master , sir ; I only know him ; I know nothing of your govern' ment.' Count Orloff failed, but he learnt from the mouth of M. de Metternich himself that M. de Mer u ; dorff had been warned when there was yet time, an that if he had thought proper he could have informed 10. Emperor, who would not then perhaps have so iinpriv dandy involved himself. Nothing more was wanting for the enemies of M. de Meyendorff, and his recall was decided on. Prince Gortechakoff, his successor, belongs to the Russian party : the German party of St. Peters burg has been vanquished in the person of M. d o Meyendorff." FIRE AT THE BEDDINGTON FLOOR MILLS.—A 6-- broke out yesterday in the flour mills occupied by Mr. A.shby, known as the Wallington Mills, near Beddington, by which the extensive buildings and an immense quan tity of corn were entirely destroyed. There was an a t " sence of fire-engines, or, in all probability, the ravage , of the fire might have been stayed. It is a singular fact, that although Croydon is only from two to three miles distant, the West of England and Brigade engine° from London, each drawn by two horses, arrived at th e • scene of desolation before that from Croydon reached the ground. They all arrived too late to be of any service, and the premises were wholly destroyed. The loss ill said to be very great, but it is partially covered by as insurance in the County Fire Office. THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE.—The second week in October is the time chosen by the Evangelical Alliance for the next Annual Conference in London.
