Witt, , ill . ~flna LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1854, The CZAR has afforded additional evidence of his anxious zeal for the welfare and happiness of his faithful subjects. He has caused a proclama- tion to be issued by General KINSENSTERN, giving directions to the inhabitants of Odessa as to the course to be adopted in the event of any real at tack by the - allied forces. They are, forsooth, to imitate the Moseovians, by reducing their city to ashes, and then to retire to Tiraspol. Ominous threats are fulminated against those who manifest any unworthy hankerings after the Laxes and Penates who strive to preserve their houses, goods, or chattels from the conflagration. " Woe to those who remain behind," saith the irate func- tionary, "or who attempt to extinguish the flames 1" The nature of the punishment to which offenders shall be subjected is not specified, but there can be but little doubt that it will be an exemplary character. The pledges thus given are the only one faithfully performed by "the god of the Russians" whenever an opportunity is afforded. But, after all, these threats, if not so very atro cious, would be supremely ridiculous. What is it, we ask, to the Western Powers whether the A.T.rroonAr chooses to consign his own territories to fire and destruction or not ? Nay, more, to give up to the devouring flames the very city spared by the clemency of the Admirals of England and France. The notion is puerile in the extreme. It is analogous to that of spoiled children, who threaten to tear their clothes or scratch their faces if their unreasonable demands are not complied with. We can fancy the ingenious artist of our facetious contemporary Punch exhibiting a cartoon, in which NICHOLAS, the precocious offspring of Sairey Gamp, having dispoied. of " Clicquot's" wooden leg, and lost the proceeds, which he was directed to expend in liqour, at "toss or buy, for kidney ones," was offering to commit suicide for the satisfaction of his parents, the aforesaid "Angel of Peace," and the good and excellent ABERDEEN would make an admirable representative of the world-renowned " Sairey." It would, indeed, be suicide, and that of the worst description, if his nefarious orders were car riedinto practical operation. He could have nothing to g a i n by a sacrifice so terrible, and in flicting such fearful sufferings on his own people. It would b e a mere trarestie on the burning of to Moscow—which led results of magnitude suffi cient to justify so awful a step. It arrested the l stu C o nqueror in the heyday of his triumph, formidable and ex - posed the inv adin g army to the r 1 most m perils. But what could follow from th e destruc tion of Odessa ? The troops weep have ample shelter, and every comfort during the winte r . The whole of the evil would fall on his own sub jects, and be would lox© one of the sources of the large revenue which lie has so greatly ta i sap _ plied. Let him not deceive himself with th e notion that it would be considered as a heroic or even a justifiable act. It would only increase the detestation with which his character is re garded by every independent and right-minded person ; and he would thenceforward and for ever be regarded as a brutal and sanguinary miscreant, who had no claims to civilisation or to the indul gent consideration of any man of ordinary huma nity who had the slightest feelings for the suffer ings of his fellow-men. But we cannot forget that NICHOLAS is accus tomed to put forward proclamations; some of which are exclusively framed for his own subjects, and others for his opponents. We believe that this last truculent production is intended for show rather than use. It is a flimsy device to disarm the Allies, and to create a feeling of commisera tion for those who would suffer so deeply if it TIIE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER 13, 1854. had amassed wealth might find au esbato and an agricultural hdne when desirous to enjoy the fruit Of 1 his toil. The forty or fifty miles between the mining territory and the sea is described as nearly • level, and as offering every facility for the con struction of at least a horse tram-road. Navvy work in a sandy barren plain would of course in volve some peculiar expenses ; but there would be no land to purchase, and'no lawyers' bills for Par liamentary expenses. Hitherto the Governor has declined granting any governmental aid towards the object. He is probably right, but the subject will soon be discussed with full knowledge in the new Parliament. According to present accounts, we must think that the Namaqualand copper mines, with the railway, by which these vast riches will be easily brought to market, present a most tempting fiel d. to the British capitalist. We may hope that some of the wealth liberated, or rather created, by an abundant harvest, will find its way to the opening and working this copper California. It is nearer home by half than Australia, and will prov,e a much more safe and reliable invest ment. LATEST NEWS. THE WAR THE PRINCIPALITIES. The following is the latest 'communication ye received ; it arrived this morning from Pesth : The Austrians, under General Coronini, were ex pected in the capital on the 6th of September, and great disgust at their arrival was expressed by almost all the Wallachians. General Popovitch and Allemand, with a small staff of officers and a few orderlies, had already arrived. 12,000 men were to have reached Krajova on the 26th ult. General Hess's proclamation, a oopy of which was sent to you by the last despatch!, remained still suppressed. Austrian influence had, however, already shown itself in certain orders issued by his Highness Omer Pacha. But first it should be men tioned that, on the 18th of last month, on t . lati occa sion of his Imperial Royal an d Apostolical Mejesty's fete, his HighnessOmer Pacha informed M. Roesler, the Austrian . consul at Rustchuk, that he and his superior officers wished to assist at the fete, and, to simplify matters, desired that M. Bossier should draw out a programme of what he might think de sirable on the occasion. The programme was so drawn out, and intimated that at a certain hour his highness would be expected, at another hour the generals of division and brigade, and so fofth. His Highness issued his orders agreeably, and they were carried out—all the powers that be being par ticularly punctual. At Bucharest his highness is pursuing the same course of conciliatory policy to wards his fellow-countrymen (the Austrians), and is even said to have expresssed his intention of visiting his native land at the close of the war—an intention which it may be easily imagined he has not the faintest notion of carrying out. At the instance of the last invaders of Wallachia his high ness has made over to the Austrian consul a major of Cossacks, a certain Aarcn Keinie, a Wallachian TranSylvaman and an Austrian subject. The un fortunate man is now a prisoner, with chains on his legs, in the prison attached to the consulate. By all Austrian partisans he is' said to have committed assassination and robbery, and is about to be pursued for a criminal, not a political offence. It is to be supposed that his Highness Omer Pacha cannot have given up this man without having all the documents (at least) duly declaring his guilt ; but this act has been followed by another, which throws some little doubt on his probity in the mat ter in question. Another treaty between the same Powers stipulates that the. Turks shall not employ political refugees in their army near the Austrian frontiers. Upon this treaty a requisition has been made by the Austrian consul to have those officers who fought against the Government he repre-4 sents, in the Hungarian war, sent away from' the headquarters of the Turkish army at Bucha rest, in consequence of the propinquity to the fron tiers of Transylvania. To the infinite disgust of all the refugees, this requisition has been acceded to by his Highness Omer Pacha, and eight of his aides-de-camp have been ordered to Monastir. Most of these officers are decorated ; they served the Turkish Government in the war in Bosnia ; they have, during the present war, done good ser vice and this is their rewaril. ; for an order to Mo nastir is only preparatory one for Asia. Most of them will sooner resign the service than suffer such ungrateful treatment, and the rest of the British officers who have been serving with the Bashi bazouks, have tendered their resignations to his Highness Omer Pacha in a body, in consequence of the ill-treatment their men had received at his hands. They and their horses were left for days without either food or forage ; pay was hardly to be expected, or compensation in lieu of rations for man and horse. The corps, several thousand strong, was stationed near Turtukai, where the men had absolutely to support themselves on Indian corn-cobs and hips and haws from the woods for twenty days ; it may be imagined, then, how the horses fared. His highness was remon strated with, but in vain. The only reply he vouchsafed was, that the patriotism of the Bashi bazouks had never failed in other hands—a, reply which was written somewhere about the same period that a number of them were disarmed on the island of Ramadan, opposite Rustchuk, by main force. This latter fact was not reported to you before in consequence of its having reached your correspondent late, and on no very trustwor thy authority. The disarming was performed by the reg ular infantry, who were eventually compel led to fire upon the unfortunate wretches, five or six being killed, and perhaps treble the same num ber wounded. But to return to the English Bashi bazouks. The receipt of such a reply, at a period when the officers had been spending money from their own private resources to keep starvation from thinning their ranks, naturally enough determined them in a body to resign, and of course the men will disperse. Among them, as mentioned in former let ters, are a number of Hindostanees, whose conduat and fidelity have been uniformly exemplary—as, indeed, has that of all those under the Englishmen. Some of these men, on a former occasion, when the Turks took their horses from them, and wished to make foot soldiers of them, justly claimed to be British subjects—it is to be feared with little avail, as diplomatic authorities are rather rare in these latitudes, The manner, too, in which his highness moved, and communicated his orders to the troops under General Beatson's command, could certainly not have been practised in any other country but Turkey. Let it be imagined with what astonishment a commanding officer would view a thousand men or so tiling off away from his camp, without having received the smallest order authorising such a movement ; and his, if possible, greater astonish ment, when a colonel or a major under his orders produces a written ()icier for the move. This was precisely the manner in which General Beatson was treated, and every ono must own his resigna tion was the only alternative open to him. The eeneral and his officers are about to place them selves at Lord Raglan's disposition. OMER PACHA AND BARON HESS'S PROCLAMATIONS. The Satellite, of the 2d inst., says that it is re ported that Omer Pacha had forbidden the procla mations of Baron Hess to be posted up in Bucharest ; and that the Hetman of the Wallachian. militia, Salomon' had been imprisoned for disobeying this order. This measure, if true, must surely have originated in some misunderstanding ; at any rate, it scarcely agreeS with the proclamation of Dervish' Paella, of the 28th ult., wherein he announces that " the Austrians advance into. the PrincipaPities as friends of the Turks." This step would be any thing but a friendly one. THE WALLACHIAN ARTILLERY. On the 30th ult. the Wallachian artillery bat talion returned to Bucharest. They were sent from Busco to Ibraila, and there General Luders put the question to them whether they would follow the Russian army. On both officers and soldiers declining, their cannon were taken from them, and they were permitted to return, only two officers re maining behind, of whom one is a born Russian. At Kolentina, on the night of the 31st ult., there were 71 cases of cholera among the Turkish troops. The sick were transported to Bucharest. The sick left behind by the Russians at Bucharest have been treated by the Turks with the greatest humanity and care ; 30 of them have recovered, and have been sent after the Russian rear-guard, to be delivered to the general in command. The postal communication between Bucharest, Ibraila, and Galatz was reopened on the 4th inst. THE ENTRY OF THE AUSTRIANS INTO MOLDAVIA. The entry of the Austrian forces into Moldavia is expected to take place about the 20th of the month, by which time the principality will have been, for the moat part, evacuated by the Russians. General von Paar is named military commandant in Moldavia, with his head-quarters at Jassy. The Copirte Zeitung has intelligence by extraor dinary express, stating that on the 4th inst. Gene ral Luders removed his head-quarters from Galatz to_Reni. On the same day the troops at Ibraila, were carried into execution. But it could scarcely deceive a member of that gallant, but prover bially credulous, corps " the marines." It might, indeed, be included in Punch's tales for the body. Indeed it could only be swallowed by CLICQUOT, or one desirous of listening to the flattering tale. All we can say is that it would be very infamous, if well founded ; but that we cannot conceive that even NICHOLAS Would be guilty of such totprofit able, if not wholly gratuitous, atrocity—such a fearful infraction of the laws of humanity, without leading to any corresponding result. deal with the fortifications —with the the ß e hope map buildings that might be garrisoned by the Allies --but that is all he is likely to attempt. Meanwhile, our expedition to the Crimea has, doubtless, already landed, and commenced operations against Sebastopol. That there will be difficulties to be . encountered, and serious impediments to be oiercome is certain ; but we cannot for a moment permit ourselves to doubt the result. The disciplined and formidable forces who have undertaken the duty far exceed in strength any body that can be employed against them. They will land under the guns of the combined navies, which nxay be brought to bear so effectually as to preveut even the semblance of opposition to their landing. When that task has been accomplished we may safely confide in their bravery, energy, and efficiency to render a good ac count of any Russian troops that may dare to face themin the field. We do not believe, however, that there will be any such attempt. The Russians will ensconce themselves behind stone walls, and rely on their granite bastions. The fate of Bomarsund will, however, prove the futility of such hopes— of which the capture or destruction of Sebastopol will afford a second and even a more striking tes timony. Beleaguered alike by land and water, assailed in all directions—while its so-called men of-war skulk beneath its batteries, and perish in gloriously—it will afford a tardy recompence for early inaction, and show that, although in the first instance we were bamboozled by the wiles of pre tended friends, we knew how to vindicate our characters, and to wipe away every reproach by the arms of our gallant soldiers and sailors, in conjunction with the equally gallant forces of La I3elle France. There are two points of no small interest in the late papers from Cape Town ; one chiefly political, the other chiefly commercial ; and, different as they . are in character, having, we suspect, a hidden but real connection.. The first is the circumstances of the inauguration of Con stitutional Government in the Colony, to which happy fact we adverted in a general point of view on Monday. There was naturally an imita tion, though with a difference, of the proceedings of our more august Senate ; an imitation so far avowed by the Lower House, that, after providing many Standing Orders, it was decreed that, in all cases not provided for, the Standing Orders of the Imperial Parliament should., so far as applicable, be the guide. The Lieutenant-Governor, the re presentative of her MAJESTY, was announced by a salute of nineteen guns, was received by the Legislative Council, its members all standing, till bid by him to resume their seats, and the House of Assembly, at his " command " conveyed by a messenger, entered the Upper House to hear his Excellency's most gracious speech ; which, a very long one too, having been delivered to the members of both Houses standing, and a copy presented to the President of the one and the Speaker of the other, the Governor rose, and, after a courteous obei sance to both Houses, left under escort .of a guard of honour. Such is the style in which the infant Legislature has begun to follow the footsteps of its parent ; and we are inclined to think that such is the native good sense of the leading men .1 in the Colony, that the adoption of parental man ners in these things will be far removed from mimicry, and become, in. fact, as at home, a part of the safeguards of political order and pro priety. The chief point of difference was in the Governor's speech. It was addressed, first to both Houses, on the circumstance which was the one of greatest interest -- including also the Imperial question of the Russian war, and nume rous subjects of Colonial importance. "Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of As sembly" were then informed of the state of the public finances, which, happily, are in a prosperous condition, and of the purposes for which demands would be made upon them. We much regret to find in this part of the speech a baneful relic of Downing-street distrustfulness, and hankering for the maintenance of aristocratical colonial berths, in the announcement of "an amount of reserve for the public service by her MAJESTY'S Order in Council for that ,purpose.." A compul sory levy for the maintenance of the Vice-Court in a colony implies an ungenexous and mischievous apprehension of the colony's loyalty—a want of confidence exceedingly likely to weaken that de sirable sentiment. It is thus that aristocracies ever peril the honour of the Crown to secure good things for themselves. The Lieutenant-Governor resumed the joint address to remind the two Houses of the importance of co-operation and harmony, for the disturbance of which some pro vision seems to have been. made, by giving the Lower House the initiative of money bills, but the Upper Howse the power of amending them. Unlike our Royal Speeches, which are studiously empty of matter, this speech of a kind of Vice-Royalty is as full as that of an American President. It would seem as if it touched on almost every colonial topic, besides being replete with a sort of parental advice to the youthful Legislators—youthful iu appointment, however, only, for many of them must know far more of wilt is desirable in Cape Legislation than all the Governors which the mother country could provide, and would, no doubt, make far better Governors than any of them. Probably the reason of the case was stronger than the wish to carry out the sforms of a Royal opening. The Governor of a Colony, who had hitherto been in fact legislator and admini strator too, had to renounce the former depart ment, and consign it to more fitting hands ; he must, therefore, of necessity acquaint the Houses with the position in which he had placed things, and thus enter more fully into detail than a mo narch here has occasion to do. We must confess, however, that we shall not be sorry to find all such speeches in the Colonies better worth re printing than their types at home. The other principal point to which we adverted at the beginning, and which indeed is noticed in the speech' also, is the splendid discoveries of copper ore in Namaqualand, a full report of which to the Lieutenant-Governor appeared in The Sun, of Monday. Mr. A. G. Bain, a geologist, has visited the whole district, rather hastily, indeed, but not too hastily to see hundreds of tons of the richest copper ore, got with unusually small labour from the mountains. The greater part of the ore appears to be that very rich and valuable one for smelting, carbonate of copper ; and the peculiarity is that it is not as elsewhere to be mined for in nar row lodes, but literally quarried from openings too large for that designation. Its value cannot be less than 401. or 451. per ton ; • and though its weight makes it a more serious matter than the B ::e m v e a a l n u s e of by nuggets, to convey from the diggings to the shore, distant some 40 or 50 miles, yet no :j a g: e r e :e l :cis dig for nothing, and we well know which articles of such weight and be easily brought down to the harbour. About five or six degrees north of Cape Town, the Orange River, Africa, flows ir m em uc e h as t t he to la w rg es e t st in s t t o re t a h m e A of tla S n o t u i t c h ; between this river and the outposts of previous in the district of Clanwilliam, lies iciuttltieivatin oNamaqualand,' the territory in question. Despised hitherto, it will certainly ere long rival the glories of Australian and Californian mines. There appears to be, also, contrary certainly to supposed of this district, th S e tr f e o a rm ms at a i r o e n s o ca f r i c m e, - w h a t we had previously b m u t t i c 1 wateri rich soil at af small cultivation. dep f t o iabundant, and grea t ir fmacenilsiteieasndexaishnt'oisttinsastauirdL reservoirs, There seems, to be no reason, therefore, why the district should not become a wealthy, and, ultimately, a self-sus taining "province—a 0110 in which the man who after destroying the fortifications - and strand bat teries, fell back on Galatz, where, finally, only a small detachment of Cossacks and a battalion of jagers were left. All the vessels in the haven of lbraila and Galatz went on the 4th to Reni. Gort schakoff's head-quarters are to be shortly removed to Ismail. The Russialis have not destroyed Ibrail a, as was reported to be their intention. The only in jury suffered by the inhabitants from the retreat ing Russians was from the thefts of the camp fol lowers. THE BLACK SEA. The Press of Vienna says :—" A letter from Odessa asserts that at Sebastopol the intention is to resist vigorously. Forts are being built to pro tect the coasts at a distance of four leagues from Sebastopol. A mass of fireships are being prepared to be sent against the vessels of the enemy. In addition to the usual garrison at Sebastopol, there are 60,000 men in camp established near the town, and reinforcements are constantly arriving. The Russian fleet is armed, and it appears that it will not remain inactive during the operations. The best pilots aro distributed amongst the vessels. Prince Menschikoff directs in person the measures of defence." The Constitutionnel says :—" We have stated that Prince Napoleon left Constantinople on the 27th ult. for Varna. He has resumed his com mand, without, however, being cured of his fever. Having been informed by a despatch of the marshal that the divisions which are to take part in the ex pedition had received orders to leave Varna on the 20th, for Baltchiky in order to embark his High ness the same evening for the Black Sea." THE BALTIC FLEET. There is a long article iu the Constitutiov , ne on the return of the Baltic, fleets. The writer enumerates the difficulties with which they had to contend, and which sufficiently account for the re stricted nature of the operations against the enemy, but which, having been surmounted, there is no longer anything to prevent, in the next spring, , the complete realisation of all that can be desired by the most sanguine and the most bold. We extract the following : "-The Baltic squadron will probably soon return to France. In concluding -its first campaign, it is entitled, to a tribute of eulogium and gratitude for the services it has rendered, and for the manner in which it has carried our flag. Improvised as it were—thanks to the great intelligence of the Minister of Marine, and the marked activity of the administration—it appeared from the first worthy to figure in the same ranks as the magnfi cent fleet of our ally. Its chief, M. Parseval Deschenes, immediately acquired the high esteem of our neigh bours, and the respect and affection of the sailors of his squadron, by the elevation of his character, the firmness of his mind, and the calm courage, which is the first military quality of a sailor. The crews, partly formed of young sailors, who had seen no service, rapidly profited by the instructions and experience of the staff. From the beginning they tried to rival the English sailors. The task of the two fleets was not an easy one. They had to navigate in a narrow sea, full of dangers, which had been generally kept close by Muscovite ambition, and which consequently was very little known. How many accidents we should have had to enregister with less excellent vessels, a chief less able, and crews less instructed, or'less docile ! But we have not been pained by any wreck ; some ves sels which ran aground were immediately got off. None of our vessels has suffered serious injury. The' accidents which occurred were easily re• paired, and served to cement the union of the two fleets—which hastened, when necessary, to each other's assistance. During the siege of Bomarsund a French boat employed in getting afloat the English frigate the Penelope had one of its men carried away by a cannon ball. On the whole our vessels were taken along coasts studded with concealed rocks, and through labyrinths of dangers, with sang froid, skill, and suc cess which cannot be too much admired. By the fireside a great many persons express surprise at the delay of the fleets in attacking CrOnstadt and Sweaborg. It is true they have not accomplished that exploit, and excel lent reasons for not doing it will occur to any one who will take the trouble to reflect on the force of citadels, patiently raised during many years with the view of re sisting an attack by sea. Vessels are very powerful ma chines of war ; but to act done against land works they require certain conditions—a suficient depth of water, and a sufficient space in which to act together. Before opposing our wooden walls to the granite works of Sweaborg and Oronstadt, it was necessary to approach these fortresses, to reconnoitre them, and to appreciate what instruments of war, what sort of naval or land forces were required to reduce them. This reconnais sance has been made, because the allied fleets have driven the Russian fleets before them—which fleets, though even in number and in guns, have disgracefully retired behind the fortifications, whilst our flags ap peared before them, and defied them even in their refuge. At present the reconnaissances have been made, the plans drawn up, and if the Czar persists in his foolish resistance, the next campaign, without any doubt,. will be marked by the fall of these proud citadels." THE DESTRUCTION OF HANGO-UDD A letter from Hamburg of the Bth, in the In dgpendance of Brussels, says :—" Contrary to what has been announced, the Swedish journals of the sth declare that the fortified works of Gustafsvern, near Hango-Udd, have not been destroyed by the Russians themselves, but by the artillery of the English vessels, which had directed an attack against that little place at the entrance of the Gulf of Finland, the castle of which, fortified in 1788, has been enlarged in its outer works since the taking of that country by the Russians in 1809. I leave to the Swedish journals the respon sibility of their assertion." RUSSIA. St. Petersburg journals of the 2d inst. contain, foil the first time, a general order, dated the 29th ult., published in consequence of the visit paid by . the Emperor to Cronstadt. In the order the Em peror thanks the garrisons of Kronschlott and Paul forts for the rapidity with which they turned out and stood to their guns at the signal of a false alarm. Each soldier received a silver rouble and some officers were decorated. It appears that the troops occupying forts principally consist of the re serve division of the Ist corps, part of which is in Lithuania and the rest in Poland, j of the Kronstadt garrison artillery, of the sth reserve battalion of the sth and 6th Light Infantry (of which the eight active battalions form the 2d brigade, 3d division, Ist corps), and of the Ist battalion Finland special corps—giving a total of 25 battalions, or al out 20,000 effective bayonets, and 2,000 artillery. It was stated some time past in The Sun, that a portion of the Russian fleet had made a show of quitting Cronstadt Harbour two or three days after the combined squadrons returned to Baro Sund, and, further, that in making this effort two of the liners grounded. This intelli gence is confirmed by the Cronstadt Chronik, with the exception, as, may naturally be supposed, of the latter portion. The journal says, that upon this ocoasion the flag-ship Emjecten and liners Smo lensk, Narwa, Beresina, and Empress Alexandra were towed by the Kamtschatka, Otwaschnyi, Gro slaschtschzi, Ruryk, and Wladimir ; and that the Tossna, steamer took up a position near the western-fire signal-guard, whilst the Bogatyr steamed out to reconnoitre at some distance. The squadron, it is added, remained four days outside, and then returned to its inside moorings in company with the sth battalion of the row gun boats flotilla, which had come in from the Finland shallows. It will be remembered that Commodore Martin's squadrons, then off Nargen, made an excursion to the vicinity of Cronstadt at that pe riod, but the Russian vessels having had notice of his movement by telegraph, had reireated before he could even get sight of their pennants. PRUSSIA. The following letter, dated Berlin, Sept. 11, will be read with interest : _ - --- - "At the close of my letter yesterday I mentioned the interpretation put upon the military preparations on the Prussian Baltic coast by those well informed in the views that pervade influential circles. However con fidently the neutrality of Prussia in this struggle may be attributed in other countries to an undue leaning to the Czar, as being connected by marriage with the Royal family, and as being the main pillar of the so called Holy Alliance, those better acquainted with the recent history of Prussia, and the present state of things here, know that neutrality and inaction are, for the present, imperatively incumbent on Prussia for far more weighty reasons than those imputed to the reign ing powers as motives. Whenever there is an adequate inducement, and the constellation favourable, Prussia will consult her own interests, even though compelled to act hostilely, and even aggressively, against Russia, At present there is no adequate motive for Prussia's co operation in the war to outweigh - the difficulties and dangers ; for, in addition to her want of interest in the subject•matter of the struggle, and the remote ness of the seat of war, she looks on the action of the other Powers as simply a contest for increased influence in Europe, which cannot be attained without sinking her relative position lower than it is at present. "The necessity of Prussia's neutrality 1 have made the theme of various letters in the beginning of this year ; the policy of Prussia's taking part with Russia against the Western Powers has been recognised by the whole country as suicidal and out of the question ; the crime that a Ministry in Prussia would commit by siding with Russia has been pronounced with authority to be equivalent to parricide. Nevertheless, it would at pre sent be inopportune to point out what conjunction of circumstances would necessarily have influence in the councils of Prussia, and bring her into the fi e ld. If the allied Powers remain steadfast throughout the win ter in rejecting any and every attempt at tampering with their alliance, and,their firm resolutbn to compel Russia to a relinqui-hment of those pretensions de jure which are always lost to her d (facto, and in the spring resume operations against the stronghold of Russian despotism in Europe, they will doubtless succeed hi performing the greatest possible service to Germany and Scandinavia ; but these two powers consider them selves incapable of contributing any assistance towards this object themselves. Should it subsequently be found desirable to carry on a war with still greater emphasis against Russia, so as to humble her military and inland power, it would not be so difficult to obtain the co operation of the two nations, but success against the strongholds of Russia's maritime power is the indispen sable condition for overtures to them, if they are to have any chance of prospering. 'The recent military preparations of Prussia putting her cavalry and artillery on a full war footing was rightly viewed at that time as a demonstration against Austria, and, in more remote connection, against the Western Powers ; but that increase of strength would serve equally as a demonstration against Russia, if she were to use any threatening language, or take up any threatening position on the frontier. I have on former occasions mentioned the extreme state of preparedness for a mobilisation in Prussia, should such a measure be deemed necessary ; still more recently the plan has been agitated here of connecting every fortress throughout the kingdom with the main lines of railway so that branches should run into the fortress itself. To a very considerable extent, as good results are as practicable in this direc tion had been already attained by negotiation with the various railway companies at the time of granting the concessions, and almost all lines have been constructed under the cognisance and assistance of a military dele gate of the Government, so that very little more that is practically useful remains to be done in this direction. t In the matter of telegraphs, however, a larger field is open, and an officer of the general staff has lately in spected the whole net of telegraphs throughout the country, for the purpose of bringing all fortresses and garrisoned places into connection with the capital and each Other. When these preparations are completed, it is believed that a force of 60,000 men can be collected in the capital, and a not much smaller one at any por tion of the frontier, within 48 hours. " Within a month the Prussian army will be stronger by one-third than it usually is at this period of the year, without calling in any reserves, or calling out the Land wehr. The let of October is the period when recruits to the amount of one-third of the whole army enter its ranks himultaneonsly with the departure of those who have served their term of 3 years. To those latter, who are the most trained soldiers of the army, having had 3 years' drill, it has been intimated that their services cannot for the present be dispensed with. At a moment when Prussia is bent on being on the qui vine, it is felt to be particularly undesirable to have the army at com mand composed of one-third of raw recruits, another of soldiers of one year's service, and the other third of sol diers of two years' service. At the same time the greatest activity is maintained in the Ordnance department, in the endeavours to im prove old or invent new projectile engines. I lately sent you the description of a two-barrelled cannon swing ing on a pivot, so as to deliver two shots in little more than five seconds. Still,more recently experiments have been made here with heavy guns of cast steel, it having been round that the touch-holes of bronze guns will not hold out more than 100 discharges without injury. Not only is the cost of this cast steel considerably smaller than that of bronze, but also the metal appears to have considerably greater powers of resistance ; no attempt that was made succeeded in bursting the gun. .Relata refero. " Though Prussia has hitherto in this year remained free from the plagues of war and pestilence, she has been severely visited in the shape of floods. The devastation caused by inundations of the Oder in Silesia, and, in a somewhat less degree, of the Warte in Posen, has attained the extent of a great national calamity, one which no amount of private benevolence or State assistance that Prussia is capable of bestowing can more than slightly mitigate. The im mense falls of rain that took place the third week in August have so swelled the Oder and its tributaries that they have overtopped and broken through their banks and dykes, and for a distance of 40 leagues there lies a sheet of water of from one to two lagues in breadth. All the villages and the dwellings scattered 'over this tract of land are under water up to the roofs ; not only the harvest in the fields, whether of corn or potatoes, but also what was already housed, is washed away ; the proportion of loss varies between the' whole and the halt. In most cases, the cattle and sheep that did not perish in the waters have been obliged to be slaughtered for want of fodder. Food for the popula tion of those parts is already very scarce, and there is little or no chance that even spring and summer will bring any alleviation of the distress that threatens the population in the coming winter. There will be a de ficiency even of corn seed. Most of the arable land is laid waste with sand, or the soil has become rotten with the lengthened inundation. The result of the official inquiries, of the Landrathe, or high sheriffs, shows that the loss of harvest alone is equal to the half of the produce of the whole province, and the value of what has been swept away or spoilt amounts to from 25,000,000 to 27,000,000 thalers. Silesia is accustomed to partial inundations, more or less extensive, but none ,so thoroughly ruinous as this has been known for more than a century there. Some idea of the devastating power of the streams that have surged over the land on the breaking of the dykes may be formed from the fact that, at one place, called Ransom, the entire churchyard was so thoroughly washed away that not a corpse or tomb remained to show that human beings had ever been buried there. Every nerve is being strained here in every rank and condition of life to get [ together contributions for the sufferers. A main com mittee has been constituted in Berlin for co-operation with local committees in the different quarters of the capital, and throughout the whole country. " Silesia is the Ireland of Prussia, and constitutes, with rare intermission, an ever open sore in her body politic; the characteristics are rich landowners con trasted with a wretched population, seldom far removed from starvation hand-loom weaving, and Roman Catho licism. Originally conquered by Frederick the Great from Austria in an unjust war, in which England op posed him, Silesia was successfully maintained by him against the military power of nearly the whole continent of Europe during the seven years' war, during which struggle his only ally, besides Brunswick, was Great Britain." AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Sept. 9.—The Prussian Minister for the Home Department has prohibited the circula tion of the Vienna Lloyd in any part of Prussia. The evening impression of this paper contains the following notice of the fact :—" This journal, which for some time past has been prohibited in Russia, has now also been denied its circulation in Prussia by the Minister of the Interior, M. von West phalen. This is a very natural consequence of the policy which the Berlin Cabinet at this moment pursues. We submit, without any regret, to the fate of seeing our journal excluded from the Prussian State, until the latter's Russian policy shall have been converted into a German one." The Astemblee Nationale notices as follows the circular addressed by the Prussian Cabinet to its representatives at foreign Courts :—" The circular of the Prussian Government to its diplomatic agents at the Courts of Germany shows that Prussia must now be considered as isolating herself completely in what concerns the appreciation of the Oriental difference, and the means of arriving at the re establishment of peace. Austria has declared that she does not consider the rejection by Russia of the four propositions as a cases belli, and that she holds herself in an armed neutrality, but will con tinue to support these propositions as the neces sary bases of pacification. Prussia not only does not consider these propositions to be ne cessary, in the point of view of her own interests and of those of the Germanic Confederation, but she even raises objections against such of these pro positions as refer to the protectorate of the four Powers over the Principalities and over the Chris tian subjects of the Sultan. That position of isola tion assumed by Prussia sweeps away the last hope of inducing the Cabinet of St. Petersburg by a moral pressure to accede to,the conditions of peace proposed to it ; for, in order that that pressure should have some chance of success, it should be the result of the unanimous accord of Europe. Matters being so, the sword alone can decide the difference, and more than ever men's minds look towards Sebastopol." GREECE. Accounts from Athens, of the 2d, in the Pied montese Gazete,, state that the Greek Government has proposed to the French General to translocate his troops from the Piraeus to Stomata's, instead. of to Athens ; but that the French General refuses this arrangement, and has already caused gOueral points near the capital to be occupied by his troops. M. Barolzi has been sent on a mission to the Porte, in order to renew the former relations between the two countries. • FRANCE. THE EMPEROR'S VISIT TO BOULOGNE. BOULOGNE, Tuesday.-11; Tuesday.--The E m peror rode yesterday to Equihem, and inspected the‘troops in camp there. After the defile, his Majesty mi nutely examined the mode of pitching the small Arab tents recently introduced into the French service, and the nature of the shelter which they afford to soldiers bivouacking. He then proceeded to make a survey of the surrounding country, with a view, it is said, to the arrangement of a grand attack on Boulogne. Nothing, however, can be stated positively or accepted as certain with regard to the Emperor's movements. He keeps his own counsel in everything, and one consequence is, r that lying rumours of the most extraordinary kind abound here. The attack on Boulogne is expected to take place two or three . days hence, before the Emperor's departure for the south, to meet the Empress and conduct her to .Compiegne. N a o t t Nothing ng threeof .any camps c onsequence to t h e ntoootkh of Boulogne, place yester daybut Napoleon, it is said, visits that of Ambleteuse to-day at one o'clock. vs The goniteur states that b y an imperial decree, dated the 18th inst., M. Cuche.l-Clarigny i s ap pointed a member of the commission for the publi cation of the works of the .first Napoleon. Tho Aloniteur contains a . report to th e E mperor, from M. Dimas, Minis ter of Marine, recommending a reorganisation of the corps of marines. He proposes to divide the 14,764 men, now composing- that corps, into four regiments in place of three, to add to them a second general officer, and to provide the whole of the men with the most improved rifles, according as they shall have become capable, from due prac tice, of using them properly. A decree of the Emperor carries out these recommendations. The following telegraphic despatch has been re ceived here : " NYBORG, Sept. 12.—Last evening the St. Louis, French line-of-battle ship, and the Andromaque frigate, passed by here, laden with troops, on their way back to France. This day the Donawcrth and Tilsit, ships of the line, and the Cleopatre and Syrienne, as well as two steamers, have been seen, also returning to France. The Three per Cents, closed yesterday at 74f. 20c., for the end of the month ; and the 41 per Cents. at 98f. sc. ; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,235 f. ; Rouen, 975 f. ; Havre, 585 f.

BELGIUM. It has been erroneously stated that the King of the Belgians bad left Brussels with the other mem bers of the royal family to attend the fete of Courtray. It appears by a letter from Courtraythat au express arrived thereon the 9th announcing that the King would be preventedfrom attending by in disposition, but that all the other members of the royal family would be present. This notification was placarded, and at one o'clock on the 10th their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess de Brabant, the Count de Flandre, and the Princess Charlotte arrived at Courtray, where they were received with great enthusiasm. In the evening there was a grand ball in honour of their visit. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, Sept. 9.—Grave disturbances oc curred yesterday at Schiedam. Large crowds, ut tering menacing cries, assembled before nearly all the bakers' shops. Many windows were broken. The municipal authorities attempted to quell the disturbances, but were compelled to apply for the military. A squadron of cavalry has set out in all haste from Leyden. The Queen will leave on Monday for Rotterdam, where a steamer will be in readiness to convey her to Stuttgard. Her Majesty will probably be absent for six weeks. SPAIN. Letters from Madrid of the 10th state that the Government has ordered the Governors of the Provinces to enforce the laws of 1837 to restrain abuses of the liberty of the press. The cholera was decreasing in the provinces. A royal order is published, by which it is an nounced that in consequence of the next Cortes consisting of only one Chamber, the members of the late Senate are qualified to be returned as de puties if they choose to become candidates. M. Turgot was still suffering from his wound, and obliged to use crutches. The Government had been informed that Queen Christina had entered Portugal, and was to embark at Oporto for France. General Prim was expected at Madrid. • The Cassel Gazette contradicts the report men tioned in some of the German papers, that the King of Prussia had been invited to an interview by the Emperor of Russia. TRIESTE, Sept. 9.—The lady and family of Lord Redcliffe left here yesterday, by the Lloyd steamer, for Constantinople. Don Martin Mayol, recently appointed Treasurer of Finance in the Balearics, has L;iven up his salary, a newspaper states, for the benefit of the charitable establishments of those islands. It is said that General Dulce and Senor Sevillana will be elected Deputies for Madrid at the coming elections. The Espana mentions a rumour, but without con firming it, that a Carlist band which had arisen at Aranjuez had been attacked by the National Guard and that the greater part of them had been killed, wounded, or taken prisoners. The same journal states that the greatest tranquillity prevails in the Basque provinces and in Navarre and Ca talonia. These provinces, in fact, it says, present a contrast to others in Spain. The Bth was the day of the N ativity of the Virgin Mary. The Three per Cents. closed to-day at 74 20 for the end of the month. AMERICA. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPB.) ARRIVAL OF THE ARCTIC, LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, 3.30 A.M. The Arctic has arrived with dates from New York to the 2d inst., and $1,130,705 on freight. The steamer Washington arrived at New York, from Southampton, on the 31st ult. Au auction had been held for the sale of tickets to Grisi and Mario's first operatic performance, and which realised $25,000. An enthusiastic meeting had been held to com memorate the martyrdom of Lopez and his com patriots. Three of the passengers by the Washington had been arrested, and from $lO,OOO to $15,000 worth of jewellery found upon them. The steamer Jacilto, which recently put into Boston with disabled machinery, after having been thoroughly overhauled, was intended to leave for her destination in about a week. Yellow fever had disappeared from Charlestown, but at Savanna very virulent. Rain had set in both east and west of States. Peace had been established between the people o Salt Lake and tribe of Utah. Country healthy Rain had been abundant, and 'a much larger breadth of land was under cultivation. Dates to the Ist ult. from Sailba Fe, had arrived. The crops in New Mexico were very good. A pic-nic of 4,000 to 5,000 know-nothings had been held at Georgetown. Later advices from Mexico mention that a battle had taken place at Guayamas between the troops of Count Boulbou and General Yalez, in which the former were defeated with considerable loss and the Count taken prisoner. A court-martial sentenced the Count and other officers to be shot, and the men to be sent to San Francisco. A subsequent letter in a New Orleans paper questions the capture of Count Boulbou. There was no mention made of the designs o Alvarez. The insurrection of Michoacau was progressing slowly. An order for the confiscation of the pro perty of insurgents had been issued by Santa Anna. The Europa reached BOston on the Ist instant, having been detained by fogs. It was estimated that the amount of property destroyed by fire in the States during the month of August would reach $4,000,275. Capital was abundant and stocks maintained their value. Foreign exchange firm and in good demand. Erie shares had declined to 32, and New York Central Railroad to 85i to 86. Flour and wheat was without change in price and in moderate demand, while Indian corn brought very full prices. Cotton dull, with a decline on the week of Bc. SOUTH AMERICA. The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Great Western, Captain Bevis, with the usual mails, in charge of Lieut De Lisle, R.N., arrived at South ampton yesterday afternoon, at one o'clock. During the voyage homewards, the Great West ern experienced fine weather. She brings mails from the following places, with their respective dates affixed :—Buenos Ayres, Aug. 2 ; Monte Video, 5 ; Rio de Janeiro, 15 ; Bahia, 12 ; Pernambuco, 22 ; St. Vincent, 30 ; Teneriffe, Sept. 4 ; Madeira, 5 ; and Lisbon, 8. She brought 49 passengers, amongst whom were Lieuts. Pauli and Campbell, R.N., and Lieut. Dorado (Bolivian Minister), and Mrs. Dorado. The Great Western brings specie to the amount of 31,7121., and diamonds valued at 22,3281. ; and on freight, 127 serons cochineal, 200 barrels tapioca, 40 serons ipecacuanha, two half-barrels coffee, six boxes lemons, two boxes succades, and 67 par cels sundries. BUENOS AYRES: The slates from this place are to the 2d ult. Accounts were very unsatisfactory. - As regards the wholesale department of manufactured goods, almost a total paralysation had taken place; owing both to special and general causes, amongst which. were difficulty of transit between the rural dis tricts, and the recent depression of the circulating medium, which the European war had consider bly augmented. The intelligence from other places varies but little from that received per i3ahiaum, which arrived at Liverpool on Saturday. Mer Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires, Captain the Hon. R. Gore, R.N., died on the 4th ult., at Monte Video, of apoplexy. STATIONS OF H.M.'s SHIPS. —At Rio, the Mada gascar, Bonetto, and Rifleman'; at Bahia, the Express ;at Lisbon, the Prometheus.
