The peculiarity of the war undertaken against Russia by France and England is, that it is not a war of conquest, but a war fur the prevention of conquest. It is not a dynastic war, or a war of selfish ambition, but a defensive war, a war fur the punishment of cruelty, for the repression of barbarism, - fur the avenging of civilised society outraged . by that blind and savage fanaticism whose crimes are calculated to produce nothing less terrible than a profanation of the unsullied benifi.- cence of Christianity. It must not be forgotten that it was in the name of Christianity that the CZAR first adventured upon that outrageous in cursion into the Principalities, which has already caused such deplorable bloodshed, and has termi nated a Peace of nearly forty years' duration by one of the most atrocious and unjustifiable con flicts ever provoked by one man's insatiable greed of dominion. Not only was this the case, but the Proclamation through which the Arrrocß,ax first announced the real criminality of his intentions to the rest of Europe was closed by a verse from the ROYAL PSALMIST, by which the aid of GOD was invoked upon a cause com bining in itself injustice, duplicity, and barbarism ! In conformity with all which the first atrocity of any note perpetrated in furtherance of this same , infamous cause was celebrated, it will be remem bered, from the Emperor Nrcsones downwards, throughout the chief cities of Russia by a solemn Te Deum chaunted to HEAVEN in the " orthodox" cathedrals. Iu taking up arms against the Russians, therefore, England and France are undertaking to wreak vengeance not only upon a flagrant wrong-doer, but also upon a notorious blasphemer. The triumph of the Allies over the Northern AUTOCRAT will not only be a victory won in the interests of civilisation, but in the nobler and holier interests of our common Christianity. Fortunately for the Allies of Turkey, they have only, now, to f o ll ow up the successes already obtained by the soldiers of the SULTAN over the forces of the AUTOCRAT. For all that England and France have done topreve t sians might long a go , b ut for the te gtpahlelannh and the try the of rt t u h e e - Turks, have passed no t only hn Danube, but the m ore formidable line mountains.. Th ey m i ght have n°ofthe appeared successively before Adrianople and Constantinople —or they might have advanced along the sea board by Varna to the coveted palaces of the C o mmander of the Faithful, on the Bosphorus. As it is, the pride of the CZAR has been laid low by the valour of the Turks and the gallantry of their commanders, by the genius of OMER PAc HA and the glorious constancy of the defenders of Silistria, without the aid of the Anglo-French contingent. So that when the troops of Lord RAGLAN and of Marshal ST. ARNAUD at last reach the Ottoman head-quarters, they find the Russian invaders already in full retreat upon the loft of the Danube, through Bucharest in the direction of Moldavia. So that, in fact, the CZAR, after all his boasting and all his blasphemies, might say in the words of TERENCE, and with a twofold significance—" Ita me Dii ament ast übi sim nese i° r' And this whether in regard to Europe . or in regard to Asia : •for if OMER PACUA has been successful on the Danube, SCHAMYL has no less brilliantly p roved the might and glory of his arms triumphantly in the Caucasus. As God shall judge hi m , the C ZAR can scarce ly toil where he at this m"ventwhether, that is to say, his forces are any longe r in possession of the fortresses of Circassia, or of the ravaged P r i nc i pa lities-- c i pal i t i whether his armies may drawn not only beyond thenothave bu t beyond to be with the Pruth, Sereth, and beyond then Dniester, and beyond boundaryt he Bug o , f aßntsiatheat that and re - Part of her dominions —beyond the Dnieper ! It must come to that ultimately. Upon the boundary line of the Dnieper for Russia (as it was in 1689 on the accession of PETER the GREAT), SO to speak, there trembles in the balance the dread alternative threatened for Europe by. the prophecy of the Great NAPOLEON the alternative of its being overrun by the Cossacks, or liberated by the genius of De mocracy. Drive back the Russians beyond the Dnieper, and, with the help of GOD, the liberation and the peace of Europe are assured —nut only the tranquillity and freedom of Europe, but the continued progress of the great nations already far advanced in the march of civilisation ! The Guardians of the Public Purse are, it ap pears, to make further provision for " the ex penses of the war." They cannot be allowed to separate for the long vacation until they have ac cepted another " little bill " in addition to those which they have already so liberally met. The amount, or, as Mr. • MANTALINI might term it, " the diinm'd total," is as yet unknown, but full sati3faction will, of course, he given on that point before the new " Vote of Credit " is de manded. We believe that we speak the all but unani mous opinion of the English People in stating, that everything necessary for the vigorous and energetic conduct of the war, for achieving results so decisive as to insure a permanent and honour able peace will be freely and willingly granted, JOHN BULL, at all times a generous paymaster, is peculiarly liberal during the continuance of hostilities, and it is more than hinted that Ministers are by no means unwilling to take ad vantage of that disposition, and to increase their demands even in matters wholly unconnected with these stirring events. But, notwithstanding this profuse liberality, which some people might feel inclined to stigma tise as " wanton extravagance," there is a general disinclination to render Ministers independent of Parliament, or to confide the exclusive manage ment of affairs to the " Excellent ABERDEEN" and his colleagues for fully six months, during which time they would be exempted from the supervision and control of both Houses. Three months' money in hand would surely be quite sufficient for every purpose that could reasonably be required ; and if any peculiar exigency, any unforeseen emergency should arise, it would be far better that they should be compelled to arouse the representatives of the people, and to obtain their approval of the course that had been taken, and which it was intended to pursue. We would, therefore, entreat Honour able Gentlemen not to forget prudence and dis cretion in the excess of their generosity ; but, at the same time, to protect the pockets of over burdened taxpayers, and insure for themselves the influence and directing power to which they are constitutionally and judiciously entitled. With this view they should strictly scrutinise and maturely consider the votes they are required to sanction, and refuse to tie themselves to the chariot wheels of any Ministry, however strongly entitled to support and confidence. There is another point on which they should require full and explicit information. The Ministerial Leader, in making the announcement above referred to, declared that " there would be no occasion for a Committee of Ways and Means ;" adding that "the vote would be proposed in a Com mittee of the whole House in Supply." From this, it seems that all now asked for is authority to expend money, leaving to a future day the task of providing the means of liquidating that outlay. There is, however, a very serious objection to such a proceeding. A prudent man will not in cur a heavy liability until he has, in the first in stance, ascertained the mode of liquidation. He will not leave to chance a question of such - vital importance to his credit and solvency. How, then, are the funds to be raised for the purpose of meeting this new demand ? It can scarcely be by the imposition of new burdens—by heaping all the charges on the present generation—and alto gether exonerating " posterity", from any portion of the charges undertaken on their account. Al ready more than ten millions of pounds sterling have been cast upon the people, according 10 the estimate of the ChancOlor of the Exchequer, and we believe that nearer to twelve than to ten n lions will be collected under the increased imposts. It was very distinctly and unequivocally announced that one, at leaoJ, of the objects fur which these enormous sums were to be levied, was to disgust the community with the war, and induce them to accept any terms that might be offered. Mr. GLAD3TOSE emphatically declared that " the ne- cessity of meeting, year by year, the expenditure which war entails, is a salutary and wholesome check. It makes men feel what they are about, and prompts them to measure the benefit they anticipate with the cost of obtaining it !" The Right Honourable Gentleman may very probably be still influenced by this reasoning —may not deem that the curb is even yet sufficiently severe to restrain the warlike ardour and chivalrous enthusiasm of the British nation. He may, there fore, be desirous of enactinz new, or enhancing , old, imposts, so as to make the whole of the addi- tional expenditure be collected within the year. He may not next February entertain the same objections to the reimposition of the recently repealed duties, the alteration of the rate of postage, or to meddling with the taxes on tea or tobacco. He may possibly think that the In come Tax screw will bear another turn, and that, as he has already significantly hinted, the six may be increased to ten per cent., and that, with out any attempt to equalise or render more equitable and less oppressive the iniquitous im post. All or any of these courses are open to the Financial Minister, and if the expenditure be sanc tioned without a clear and express understanding as to the mode by which it may be liquidated, he will be enabled to taunt the House, in his accus tomed manner, with being " quite willing to di rect the outlay, but not to pay for it afterwards." Let those, then, who object to an unmodified In come Tax at the rate of ten per cent., who do no want to see the re-enactment of the repealed duties, or the retrograde movement in the path of free trade, insist on knowing full particulars and details on every point, and refuse to vote a credit of a single shilling until they are clearly informed as to the mode in which the money is to be provided. Let them not be contented with a Committee of Supply unless there also be one of Ways and Means, ani a New Budget opened by the Financial Minister. THE SULINA AFFAIR. The following has been received at the Admi ralty to-day : PROCEEDINGS OF THE FIREBRAND OFF THE DANUBE. Sirs,— Britannia, off Baljik, I beg to acquaint you, for the lst the Lords Commissioner s of the Admiralty, that Cap- J _ July, 1851. information of twin Parker of the Firebr pried on the night Guardo the 26-27th une, nearly su the Cossack at the e n t rance of the Danube, but only succeeded in securing the Cossack officer in command, whom I have sent to General Lord Raglan. 2. On th e 28 th and 29th, assisted by the Fury, he at completeluylin destroyed th e strong and well-built batteries the Sa. The lighthouse, and the quarantine establishment, were untouched, the private houses, but the fear of damaging them by the use of powder and fire, rendered the work of destruction of the batteries very severe and heavy to the crews of the Firebrand and Fury. 3. Lieutenant Jull, of the Royal Marine Artillery, was wounded in the head by a ball, but remains in com mand of his men, and the arrangements made by Captain Parker have again prevented any loss on our side. 1. Captain Parker speaks highly of the conduct of Lieut. Jones on these occasions, as well is on those when the cavalry posts were lately destroyed to the north of the Danube.--I have, &c., (Signed) J. W. D. DUNDAS, Vice-Admiral. The Secretary of the Admiralty. Galignani's Messenger observes, that "among the en gagements spoken of for the Opera is that of M. Brandt, who possesses a fine tenor organ, and has been profitably studying here for some time under the best masters. He was last week heard," says our Paris lontemporary, " by several of our leading connoisseurs, and their suffrages in his favour were ucanimous." Galignani also remarks, in the same number, that "Mile. Rachel is not expected to make her rentree at the Francais before the month of September." MONEY MARKET AND • COM.I.IERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY. TWO o'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 8,000 bales, including 1,500 American taken for export and on speculation. The market closed heavily, but prices were but little changed. The sales comprised about 7,000 American, 450 Pernam and Marauham at 511. to 7id., 40 Bahia at 60., 400 Egyptian at 6d. to 9d., and 500 Surat at 2&d. to 4d. per lb. Railway Shares were flat. The Australian letters per Golden Age report unfavourably of commercial affairs, owing to the excessive supplies. The gold production, though still large, was scarcely equal to what it was early in 1853. Accounts from Prince Edward Island state that Mr. Dominick Daly, the new Governor, had been received by the colonists with the highest demon strations of respect, and was likely to he very popular. The elections were in favour of the Liberal party. At the meeting of the Commercial Bank of Lon don just held, a very favourable report has been presented and unanimously adopted. The follow. ing are extracts :-- "The directors have the satisfaction of presenting to the shareholders the fourteenth annual balance sheet, from which it will appear that, after paying all expenses, and making provision for bad and doubtful debts, the net profits of the bank amount to 36,9501. Os. 11d. "A dividend, at the rate of 61. per cent. per annum for the half-year ending 31st Dec., 1853, has been al ready paid, and the directors have now to declare a divi dend for the half-year ending 30th June, 1854, at the same rate, with a bonus of 16s. per share—both divi dend and bonus free from income tax. " After paying this dividend and bonus, there will re main a balance of 1,4451. 9s. 3d. to be carried to the re serve fund, increasing that fund to 64,0121. 6s. 11d." The half-yearly meeting of the St. Katharine Dock Company was held this morning, and a divi dend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum has been declared. The report states " The accounts of receipts and expenditure of the com pany for the half-year ended the 30th June last have been accessible, since the 10th inst., for inspection by proprietors, in accordance with the advertisement call ing the present meeting, and copies of the same are now on the table; they show the results of the business of the past six months to be is follows :—Gross earnings, 158,4271. 9s. 10d. ; expenditure, including interest, 95,6191. Ils. Bd. ; net earnings, 62,8071. 18e. 2d. " This sum, with the balance of 53,694/. 15s. brought forward at the commencement of this year, after payment of the dividend declared in January last, gives a present available balance of 116,5021. 13s. 2d., out of which the directors recommend that a dividend be now declared at the rate of 2 per cent. upon the capital stock of the company for the half-year ended the 30th June last, and that the same be paid free of income tax. "Should this recommendation be adopted by the meeting, the dividend payable will amount to 38,7961., and leave a balance to be carried forward of 77,706/. 13s. 2d." The English Stock Market has been very de pressed upon the announcement of Lord John Russell that he should have to ask the House of Commons, next week, for a considerable sum of money to carry on the war. It is expected that general authority, under a vote of credit, will be taken to raise whatever may be required, since many doubt whether the Ministry can yet state what is likely to be wanted. Opinions, however, are greatly divided, some parties considering that a proposition will be made to subsidise Turkey, while others consider that a preferable course will be to guarantee the interest upon any private loan which the Ottoman Porte may require. In our view, Government intends simply to attend to its own wants as regards the actual vote to be taken, although it may guarantee a Turkish loan, and the point of most interest is to ascertain how the finan cial requirements of Mr. Gladstone can be met. It is not thought in the City that the market will bear a further issue of Exchequer Bonds above the amount already authorised, and there remain two or three other plans that may be adopted. A direct loan, a creation of terminable annuities, or an issue of Exchequer Bills. At an increased interest, it is probable there might be a further amount of unfunded debt floated, but much depends on the sum required. Consols decli ned yesterday after the official hours of business to 92k I, what was stated at the Downing Stre©t meet ing having transpired, and this morning they opened at 91/, fell to and have since rallied to 91i and 92. There is a fuller supply of stock, and is loaned very readily till August. Bank Stock is firm at 209 to 211. India Stock is 225 to 226. Exchequer Bills keep at par to 3s. premium, rather a significant proof of opinion in the Stock Exchange as to the investment least liable to fluctuation just now. There has been a slight increaseof business in the ; Foreign market, but prices have not yet improved. Mexican are rather lower, and Spanish have been heavy on account of the important news received as to the spread of the insurrection. The prices of Mexican have been 24g to 1, and of the Spanish New Deferred 181. Portuguese 4 per Cents. have been done at 39 without the dividend. Dutch 21 per Cents. have been 59b, and the 4 per Cents. M. Sardinian Bonds have been at 851. Bra zilian 01(1 Stock has been quoted at liar. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 to 6, ; Mexi can, 24 to 241 ; Peruvian, 66 to 68 ; ditto Thrae per Cents. 50 to 62; Portuguese Four per Cents. 39 to 41 ; Russian Five per Cents. 97 to 09 ; ditto Four-aud- a-Half per Cents. 82 to 84 ; Spanish New Deferred, 18,± to 381 ' • ditto Three per C en t s . 361 to 37i ; ditto Certificates, 31 to 41- ; ditto Passive, n to 41. Railway Shares are lower, and in most instances to the extent of fully 1 per cent. This decline has occurred in North-Western, Caledonian, Great Western, and South-Eastern. Great Northern were. 30s. lower, but have just ralli e d aga i n . I n French Shares there has been nothing doing. The Mining Market is merely nominal. In the Joint Stock Bank Shares only one or two bargains are recorded. The Shares of the Australian Land Companies have been inactive, and Crystal Palace are lower.

CEIMINAL JUSTICE IN THE METROPOLIS. —Yesterday the bill as amended, to dispense with grand juries in the metropolis, was printed. The bill was noticed last week in the Daily News. Grand jurors may be sum. moned for only four sessions of the Central Criminal Court in a year. There is an alteration as to the time the Act shall take effect—it is now fixed for the Ist September. THE NEW ACT TO COMPEL THE ATTENDANCE OF WIT NESSES.—The new act to enable the courts of law in England, Ireland, and Scotland to issue process to com pel the attendance of witnesses out of their jurisdiction, and to give effect to the service of such process in any part of the United Kingdom, has been printed. The act came into operation on receiving the royal assent on Monday. Parties who are required to attend out of the jurisdiction of the courts are not to be punished for non attendance, unless they had been tendered a sufficient suns to pay their expenses of coming and attending to give evidence and returnin; I CHOLERA.—On Saturday afternoon an inquest was taken by Mr. Wm. Baker, at the Cape of Good Hope, St. Anne-street, Limehouse, on view of the body of Sarah Harvey, aged 24, a single female, who died at No. 21, St. Anne-street, Limehouse. Mr. J. Woolridge, surgeon, St. Anne-street, said that he was called to see deceased about half past two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. She was vomiting, and had severe cramps, with a low attenuated speech, and a slight pulse ; the akin was also of a blueish colour. He had no doubt that she had an attack of Asiatic cholera, which led to her de%th. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical evidence.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 18. 1854 LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. THE WAR. LATEST FROM VIENNA. The following is from the Times correspondent at Vienna dated yesterday evening The Presse states that Omer Pasha gives his own loss at Giurgevo, on the 7th and Bth, at 1,700 killed and wounded. The Russians at Frateschti are already 70,000 strong, with artillery in proportion, and are re ceiving continual reinforcements. The whole garrison of Braila is marching to Bu charest. The Russian troops are returning from Moldavia into Wallachia. The Russians are cutting down all the crops of wheat in Wallachia. The Servian Government has given perfectly satisfactory assurances to Austria. BLOCKADE OF THE BLACK SEA. The Moniteur of this day (Tuesday) announces that the Russian ports of the Black Sea, and also that of Azotf, will be blockaded, at a date to be afterwards fixed upon. THE BLACK SEA. We find the following in the Moniteur of yester day :—On the 2d of July the squadron commanded by Vice-Admiral Bruat joined that of Vice-Admi ral Hamelin, in the roads of Baltschik. In the voyage from Gallipoli to Varna the squadron of Admiral Bruat carried 9,000 men of the 4th divi sion of the army of the East, who in one single day were disembarked under the walls of Varna. The rapidity with which this movement of the troops and the analogous operations were accomplished by the different vessels of the I mper i a l navy, and the ready assistance which the army has in all cases re ceived from the marine, has inspired the marshal commanding in chief the army of the East to issue the following order of the day : " GENERAL ORDER. " VARNA, July 1, 1854. "Soldiers—ln order to approach the enemy, you have, ina few days, put 100 additional leagues between you and France. Since you have quitted your country, your activity and your energy have been at the height of the d►fficulties which you have had to overcome ; but you should not have vanquished them without the devoted assistance offered to you by the Imperial marine. "The admirals, officers, and sailors of our ports and fleets have devoted themselves to the painful mission of transporting your columns across the sea. You have seen them devoting themselves to the hardest labour, in order to realise the operations of embarkation and dis embarkation, so often repeated, and we can say that they have disputed among themselves the honour of has tening the march of our eagles. " A witness to that loyal confraternity of the two armies, I am glad to seize the opportunity which offers of rendering homage to it, and I will go to-morrow to carry solemnly to the fleets of Admirals Hamelin and Bruat thanks, in which I am willing to associate each of you, and which will be addressed to the whole of the Imperial marine. " A. DE ST. ARNAUD, the Marshal of France Com manding-in-Chief the Army of the East." THE WHITE SEA. SQUADRON. Captain Ommauney and the White Sea squadron --Eurydice, 26; Miranda, 17, screw, Capt. Lyons; and Brisk, 15, screw, Commander Seymour--have been heard of. The English and French ships were at Vardehorns about a month since. THE DANUBE. Despatches from Orsova state that Mehemet Pacha defeated the Russian brigade at Czernawoda, in the Dobrudscha, on the Bth, after five hours' hard fighting, and took possession of the place. Nine thousand men of the fourth division of the French army of the East arrived at Varna on the 2d inst., and disembarked. The death of Captain Butler, one of the English defenders of Silistria, is confirmed by letters from the Danube. His remains were buried in a Chris tian cemetery not far from the fortress. STATE OF BUCHAREST. According to letters from Bucharest o f th e 1 0t h , the state of public feeling in that city was one of indescribable alarm and confusion. No one there doubted that Wallachia was about to be purged of the Muscovites, but it was feared that the town might be laid in ashes in the meanwhile. Russian couriers were riding to and fro ; battalions were driven through on forced marches, and all kinds of rumours were in circulation. The wounded Rus sians, of whom 150 waggon loads had been con veyed to Bucharest, had increased the general anxiety by their dismal accounts of the state of things at Giurgevo. The Lloyd, under date of Bucharest, Gth, says: —" Great alarm prevails in this place. General Budberg this morning ordered all the keepers of the archives of the Wallachian ministries to make up their documents in packages, ready for immediate removal. A picket of Cossacks is placed before each building containing the archives, and every employe on leaving the office is closely searched, in order that no document may be removed. This singular measure can only be accounted for by the fear entertained by the Russians of seeing certain documents published. In the archives of the Mi nister of Foreign Affairs is a document of Peterhof, of Ist May, in which the most insulting expres sions are made use of towards such Boyards as are hostile to Russia, and in which the Sultan is repre sented as being absolutely crushed to the earth by the Czar. In another document, of Ist Juno, the Wallachiaus are threatened with the severest punishments if they manifest any friendly feelings towards Austria.'' The Paris papers of yesterday publish private despatches from Vienna, according to which the Turks under Omer Pacha have entered Bucharest. The Monitcur does not mention such an occur rence. AUSTRIA OUTWITTED. Letters from Vienna state that it was known there that the forward movement of the Ottoman army and that of the allies was resolved on and commenced as soon as it became evident that the Austrian Government did not mean honestly to fulfil its treaty with the Porte and enter Wallachia to turn out the Russians. It is stated that the Minister of the Sultan at Vienna has requested that the Austrian Government will not, under the circumstances, send its troops into any other pro vince of the Sultan's dominions, under the sup posed authority of the convention, or -of the notes which have been since exchanged. Col. Manteuffel proceeded on Monday night on a special mission from Berlin to Vienna. The semi-official Zeit. of the 13th publishes an article for the purpose of Showing that the engage ments undertaken by Austria in her treaty with Prussia are on no account to be understood as bind ing her to demand the unconditional and immediate evacuation of the Turkish Principalities by Russia. "If Russia declare she will continue merely to oc cupy Moldavia, with perhaps a portion of Wal lachia, for a season, until the affair be peaceably arranged," the casus WU will not have arisen. . CONS TANTINOPLE. OBJECT OF THE D UKE OF CAMBRIDGE'S R ETURN. A letter from the T ur k is h capital, of July 5, says : —His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge ar rived here on Sunday, 2d inst., on board the Retri bution, and returned to head-quarters at Varna on the following day. The o bj ect o f th e P r i nce ' s s hort visit to Constanti nop l e was, it is understood, to con fer with M. de B ruc k , and ascertain the final decision. and attitude of the Austrian Government. This deli cate mission w as undertaken by his Royal High ness at the exp ress desire of Marshal St. Arnaud and Lord R ag l an, who declared, they can no longer rest under arms, and are fully Internuncio, entitled to demand whether Austria may be con best. of his judgment, it appears, that sidered a friend or foe in the coming struggle.. The protested,. it is said, in the honourable intentions of his Government, and that there was not, to the in reply to the queries of the Prince, deviation from that line of policy already . traced out, but that no advices had yet reached him re was. elicited the smallest chance of a specting the final result, and the impression pro duced at St. Petersburg by the last propositions of to throw any the Austrian Government. Nothing, therefore, during the Prince's interview, and his Royal Highness had to return to the camp as wise as light on this question he came, after having communicated the result to Lord Redeliffe. What the effects of this an swer may be as regards the Commanders of the allied forces, it is, of course, impossible to deter mine. However, the latest intelligence from the Danube announces the expected arrival of Omer T Pacha at V arna, that the urkish army is advan cing in fou r co l umns, 36 battal i ons eac h , to effect ajunction with the Anglo-French force, and that the Dob ru d sc h a as well as all the enemy's positions on the right bank have been completely abandoned, and the whole country laid waste—a scene of ruin and desolation. Such atrocious acts of these bar barous hordes merit prompt vengeance—and aro, it must be admitted, an awful requital for the . humanity and generos i ty di sp l aye d b y th e a d m i rals in sparing the town of Odessa. The Turkish fleet entered the B osp h orus on Satur d ay last, Ist inst., with the ex cept i on of a small steam division under the command of Ahmet Pacha, which has remained with the allied squadrons. The cause of this inci dent is not generally known, but it is supposed that Admirals Dundas and Hamelin consider the force under their command quite sufficient for every purpose in the Euxine, and that the Turkish squad ron, by guarding the pass of the Bosphorus / would contribute best to the success of their present plans. It is generally supposed that a contingent of the British troops will be despatched without delay to the Crimea, and that the destruction of the Russian fleet and Sebastopol, if it can be effected this year, is the great and absorbing object in contemplation. The Turkish Government has sent in within the last few days a note to the Hellenic Government, offering to reopen its ports to Greek commercial enterprise, on condition, however, that within a delay of two months, a public reparation be made and an indemnity allowed for the losses and in juries resulting from the invasion of the Ottoman territory by the subjects ofKing 0 tho. The Turkish government is preparing a plan for the entire re organisation of the Danubian provinces. Although nothing as yet has assumed a definite shape, there was a question somedays ago of despatching a high functionary on a special mission, for the purpose of ascertaining all that is required for the new order of things, and the entire reconstruction of the administrative system. It cannot be too urgently impressed on the Porte the absolute necessity of discarding irrevocably the whole personnel hitherto in employ, which has been invariably more or less hostile to the interest of the Sultan, and the indefatigable instrument of Russian intrigues. There is no longer any question of the Hospoclars Stirbey and Ghika, but whether the Porte will at length comprehend its true interest, by the rigour ' ous exclusion of other not less dangerous notabili ties. Austria is very anxious for the reinstatement of Stirbey and Ghika. On the Ist inst. some more vessels, with Russian prisoners, arrived at Constan tinople. That© men having been questioned on many points relating to the present condition of the Russian army, declared, without hesitation, that the losses and misfcrtunes sustained during the seige of Silistria had produced such an affect, such utter demoralisation in their ranks, that those di visions could no longer take the field without being remodelled, and drafted into other regiments. The poor fellows also frankly admitted that they had been labouring under a gross delusion, and that they were now fully convinced that the walls and cupolas of the Holy City were not, as represented to them, situated exactly behind the fortifications of Silistria. THE BALTIC. COPENHAGEN, July 11. To-day's post has brought no further intelligence respecting the second bombardment of Bomarsund. There would appear, therefore, to have been some mistake or exaggeration. Its capture cannot be difficult, and cannot be far off, for the French landing troops will doubtless be quartered there. The Swedish Parliament—that is, the House of Burgesses, and the House of Yeomen, the only two which have any independence, the two upper houses being mere court tools—have made a deter mined effort to free their country from the despotic reactionary and Russianising Cabinet now in power. The Burgesses have demanded the dismissal of Palmstjerna, Reuterdahl, and Gripenstedt ; the Yeomen that of Sparre and Palmstjerna, and also (without even a division) of Reuterdahl, Fahraatv, and Gripenstedt. This is an important event, but it is doubtful whether it will lead to any immediate change. Notwithstanding such a vote of want of confidence, it is expected that the Swedish Minis ters, like their comrades in Denmark, will not go out. Many of the speeches were bitter in the ex treme. The most eloquent and remarkable was that of the Yeoman Sahlstrom, who gave a lively picture of the despotism and degradation which now overwhelm a nation of the noblest origin, and with the noblest capabilities. The Valorous has been at Gefie ; and while there, its officers were invited to a dinner by a number of the citizens. Finland has now reached another stage of Russi fication. On its seizure, highwayman fashion, by Alexander, that Czar guaranteed its privilege not to subject it to any conscription colonised militia. Instead thereof, it had to furnish and keep two regiments of recruited soldiers. But, as we know, all Russian oaths and treaties are not worth the paper they are written upon. An ukase has just appeared, announcing that Fin land hp made such immense moral and material progress, that its time has now come to be blessed with this new military conscription, and that, as a beginning, two battalions of sharpshooters shall 1-13 immediately established, one in the Abo- Bjorneborg district, and the other in Vassa-Ulea berg, all at the expense of the Finlanders them selves. If the West does not know what Finland is good for, the Autocrat does. These two batta lions are expressly stated to be only "a beginning," and unfortunate Finland may therefore expect to be drained of blood and money quite openly, at the caprice of its robbers. These troops will be sent to Poland, or the Crimea, or somewhere whore their fidelity will be unquestioned, while Cossacks and other bandits will take their place. King Frederick had made a triumphant entry into his newly-purchased palace of Jmgerspris, which is to be restored to its ancient splendour. His Majesty is so much the more popular in its neighbourhood, as he has freed all the peasants attached to the domain from overyremaining feudal tie, hereby carrying into effect the object aimed at by the peasant league, which will, however, make this change compulsory, instead of the result of voluntary conviction and mutual advantage. The following is an extract of a letter, dated her Majesty's ship —, Barosund, July 10 : "We sailed from Cronstadt on the Ist inst. The reasons for our retrograde movement were of course not communicated ; but, as cholera was somewhat in creasing, it was attributed to that pest. The French screw liner Austerlitz has been the greatest sufferer ; she is said to have lost thirty men altogether. But, since we left Cronstadt, the cases have much di minished. On the 2d, the Imperieuse and four other steamers were detached to look at Viborg, and see if any shipping lay there. The town stands at the northern extremity of a narrow inlet, about thirty miles long, with a very intricate passage. The steamers worked up within about three miles of the town, but as they could only see afew boats near the shore, they were not molested. It is extraordinary. hat none of our vessels have been able to fall in with or discover any of the Russian armed row-boats, •of which we heard so much boasting. They seem to keep as snug as their large vessels. On the 3d the detached steamers rejoined, and we all proceeded to Barosund, which we reached on the 6th, leaving orders in passing Sveaborg for Admiral Corry's squadron to follow. The whole fleet reached the anchorage in perfect safety, except a French line-of-battle ship in tow of a steamer. This vessel struck upon a rock somewhat heavily, as she was going five knots. All the boats of the fleet were immediately ordered to her assistance, and succeeded, after she was lightened of her principal heavy guns, in getting her off in about twelve hours, with scarcely any damage, except a few sheets of copper ripped off from the bottom. The whole fleet is now assembled here, with the exception of Plumridge's squadron and a few steamers on blockade duty." The above extract accounts for, and sets at rest, the reports emanating from St. Petersburg, and propagated and amplified with pious zeal, by Rus sian friendly continental journals, of the loss and capture of sundry vessels of the Baltic fleet. An English naval officer is reported to have rob turned home in all haste from Memel, by land in order to take the command of the shallow-going gun boats destined for the Baltic. The Dauntless left Copenhagen Roads on the 11th, taking a southerly course. were put on board, to their great delight and some what of astonishment at the promptitude displayed. The Stromboli, with her two transports, under the direction of Lieutenant William Hay, will get under weigh this afternoon for the Baltic. Tons of camp equipage, shot and shell, field-pieces, and ammunition waggons, continue to pour into the town, which is so full that there is no bed to be got for love or money. A ball will be given this evening to which all the officers of both nations are invited. The Emperor and Empress leave for Bayonne on the 19th. Their Majesties will return by the 15th of August. _ TheEmperor \ having put off his visit to Toulon and Marseslles until September, the " Camp of the South " will not assemble before that date, on ac count of tie cholera. The Moniteur publishes a decree fot ded on a report of the Minister of the Interior, orbning an additional credit of 300,000 f. from the budget of 1854, to be employed in giving assistance to chari table establish " General Baraguay d'Hilliers," says the Con stitittionnel, " arrived in Paris ou Saturday even ing, where, however, ho will make but a very short stay." General Baraguay has been replaced by General Schramm, in the command of the expe ditionary corps which has just been embarked for the Baltic. A second division of French troops is shortly to be despatched to the same destination, under the orders of General Baraguay and 6,000 English are to be joined to them. The allied Powers will then have in the Baltic a force of about 30,000 men, capable of taking up and guarding any position which might be considered of a nature to servo as the base of operations in the war ; and of giving Sweden a sufficient mate rial guarantee, that in no case, should she consent to depart from her present system of neutrality, will she be exposed without aid to the resentment of Russia. Letters have been received here from a good source in Sweden, which affirm that the Swedish Government hasformally declared its intention not to join in the course adopted by the Western Powers, and which they solicit Sweden to give her adhesion to, unless the Isles of Aland, or some important point in Finland, should be occu pied by a body of Anglo-French troops, of a force sufficient to be spared the necessity of withdrawing at the approach of winter. Sweden does not as yet undertake absolutely to act against Russia, but she allows it to be understood. These letters declare that she would so act, on certain conditions, one of which is the payment of a monthly subsidy, as has been already stated. The amount of that allow ance would be calculated, it is said, according to the difference of keeping 60,000 men on a peace footing and one of war. A telegraphic despatch from Copenhagen states, that the Chamber of the Clergy in the Diet has adopted the bill for emancipating the Jews. We read in the Constitutionnel :—" The Empe ror has presented to M. Monello de Loisne, the sub-prefect of Boulogne, a very valuable autograph, namely, the proclamation of his Majesty to the ex peditionary corps of the Baltic, wholly written by his own hand, and dated from the camp of Vime reux." The Three per Cents. opened to-day at 71f. 60c., rose to 71f. 80c., and then fell to 71f. 10c. the closing price for the end of the month ; the Four and-a-Half per Cents. closed at 98f. ; the New Loan was not quoted ; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,160 f. ; Rouen, 1,025 f. ; Havre, 585 E ; Great Northern, 817 f. 50c. ; Strasburg, 780 f. ; New Shares, 612 E 50c. ; Paris and Lyons, 937 f. 50c. ; Lyons to the Mediterranean, 840 E ; Western of France, 640 f. ; Bordeaux and Cette, 600 f. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, July 14.—The members of the Vienna Conference have communicated the oontents of the Russian note last received by this Government to their respective Cabinets, and at the same time de manded instructions. It is expected that the reply of all the Governments will have reached this city within eight-and-forty hours ; at all events the Conference is to meet on the 17th. to decide on the steps to be next taken in respect to Russia. It was foreseen here that the retraction of the order to occupy Wallachia would produce a most unfa vourable impression on the west of Europe, but the delay was unavoidable, as you have learned by my more recent letters. SPAIN. THE INSURRECTION. The following telegraphic despatches from Spain were received in Paris this morning, from which it appears that the insurrection is not diminishing, but is actually spreading : " PERPIGNAN, July 15.—The garrison and town of Barcelona have pronounced against the Govern ment. "The troops of Navarre and of Guadalaxara have taken the initiative, and been supported by the loud acclamations of the people. The military governor has headed the movement, which has ob tained the adhesion of the Captain General. The troops and populace rent the air with cries of 'Long live the Constitution I"Down with the Ministers !' and ' Down with Queen Christina !' " "BARCELONA, July 16.—The disaffected have profited by the general disorder in which this town is placed, and have set fire to a great number of the shops. They even assassinated one of the pro prietors, as also his son ; as likewise a master's mate. Yesterday three or four other persons were murdered. Military precautions are now being taken, in order, if possible, to prevent further dis turbances." "ST. SEBASTIAN, July 17'.—Two battalions of the regiment of Bourbon, in garrison at this place, have pronounced, and have issued a very sensible proclamation. O'Donnel, the Commandant Ge neral, and Gupuscoa, the colonel of the regiment, and the principal official functionaries of the town have been arrested. A corps of artillery has aided the insurrectionary movement. The general popu lation, however, have not rendered any assistance to the rebels ; and the town remains tranquil." The following letter from. Madrid is given by the the Moniteur " news regular themselves published tr e b p y e the jdutlhyelMi."—adAridccjournalsto Gazette MA pRm, anti the insurgents, a ft er h av i ng concentrated at Manzanares, baring taken the Andalusian road, and must to-day have entered the Sierra Morena by Despena- Perros." We find in the Bulletin the following proclama tion of G enera l O'D onnell, which was published on the 7th at Marizanares, a small t own o f L a Mancha, near Ciudad-Real : " Spaniards ! the enthusiastic reception which the liberal army obtains from all the populations ; the reso lution of the soldiers who compose it, and who acted heroically at Vicalvaro ; and the applause which has everywhere greeted the news of our rising, assure from this moment the triumph of that liberty and the laws which we have sworn to defend. In a few days the greater part of our provinces will have shaken off the yoke of the tyrants ; the entire army will have ranged itself under our flag, which is that of loyalty ; the nation will enjoy the henetiis of the constitutional rdgime, for which we have timelessly shed tip to this day so much blood, and have supported so many costly sacrifices. The moment has come for declaring what we have resolved to do on th e d ay o f victory.' We desire the preservation of the throne, but with out a eantarilla which dishonours it ; we desire the rigorous execution of the fundamental laws, and an amelioration of the law on elections, and of that on the press ; we desire the diminution of taxes founded on strict economy ; we desire that in civil and military employments the rights of seniority and those of merit shall be respected ; we desire to wrest the communes from the centralisation which devours them, and to give them the local independence necessary for the increase of their prosperity ; finally, as the guarantee of all these advantages, we desire to establish the national . militia on solid bases. Such are our intentions. We state them frankly, without des4ing to impylip them on the nation. The Government juntas which will have to constitute themselves in the free provinces, the general Cortes, which will have to assemble without delay, the nation itself, in short, will establish the definitive bases of the liberal regeneration to which we aspire. It is with these sentiments that we consecrate our swords to the national will, and we swear not to replace them in the sheath until our object shall be attained. " LEOPOLDO O'DONNELL, Count de LUCANA, General-in-Chief of the Cocstitutional Army." FRANCE. EMBARKATION OF THE FRENCH TROOPS FOR THE BALTIC. CALAIS, Monday.—Last evening General Bara guay d'Hilliers and the Admiral Lapierre invited. Captain Lo Febre, R.N., of the Dasher, and Cap . tain Smithett, of the Devon, Royal Mail Service, who have so ably superintended the embarkation of the troops, to a banquet at the Hotel Dessins. The general, with g rea t warm th of feeling, pro posed° " The Health of th e Q ueen of England," which was reponded to in a manner that made Englishmen proud of their Sovereign. Captain Le Febre had the honour to propose " The Health of the Emperor of the French," which was like wise done ample justice to, and was rece i ve d with great enthusiasm. The French Admiral then proposed " The British Navy," which compliment was acknowledged by Captain Le Febre, who sincerely hoped and firmly believed that the tricolor and the English ensign would from this time f or th and for ever more float side by side in the discharge of a common duty to their sovereigns and countries, and for the inestimable benefit of the world at large. The evening was spent in the greatest harmony and most kindly feeling, ended in mutual respect. This morning, at daylight, the " rappel" disturbed the slumbers of the wearied, and prepared them for the embarkation of the Chasseurs and Voltigeurs, and the splendid band of the 63d of the line accompanied the troops, playin,g a spirit-stirring tune, and, adding to the effect vocally, it made amends for the early " tumble up." In 20 minutes the Sprightly received two companies, Fearless two companies, and Wildfire one company of Voltigeurs for the Belgravia, transport. At the same time La Corse took on board the 4th, sth, and 6th companies of Climseir 3 for the Clifton trans port—in all about 1,200 officers and men. In one hour the whole were comfortably placed on board and at their breakfast. The morning being de lightfully fine, and the sea as smooth as a duck pond, the Fire Queen went off to the Stromboli, Commander Robt. Hall, to bring that officer ashore to receive hi s i ns t ruc ti ons , an d t o com pl e t e p rov i- GREECE. siong- At n i ne a company o f Ch asseurs wen t on Extract from an arti c l e o f th e G ree k ne wspaper board the Sprightly, to be conveyed to the Strom- P anhellenium, No. 101, June 27, 1854 : boli.

The Opinione of Turin, of the 13th, notices in a leader an assertion made some time ago by the Univers, to the effect that the demagogues of all countries, but more especially those of Italy, side with Russia at the present moment, in the hope that that power will ultimately encourage their views, in order to create embarassments for Austria and the Western Powers. To this the Opinioile replies that the Uhivers unfairly confounds the Italian constitutionalists with the Mazziniaus ; that not being in the secrets of the latter, it (the Opinione) cannot say whether they incline to Russia or not ; but that Mazzini and his followers are but individuals without any hold on the opinion of the country, while the constitutionalists of Italy, forming the majority of the country, are .heart and soul for the Western Powers, and against Russia. executed by Mr. Wentland alone. His office was another king's private counsel. All citizens who ,had affairs to settle were obliged to appeal to it. There were to be seen waiting every day in order to obtain audi ence , senators, deputies, ministers, and officials of every rank and degree. It was there that all thos e w h o were seeking the favour of the Government took refuge. Finally, it was there where ministers, ranks, honours, and all the boun ties of Government were distributed. It was there that Parliamentary combinations were agreed upon, and the election of deputies resolved. It was there that the list for new senators was composed. It was there that a mystical and private correspondence was held and incessantly entertained with some of the provincial hirelings, who were honoured with the appellation of devotees, because they wrote twice or thrice a week long reports full of false intelligence and calumny, always connected with the salt of flattery and the most contemptible low ness. There, day and night, a few persons bad a free access, at whatever time, that they might bring tidings and receive orders. There characters were sounded and disciplined to meekness and: obedience. There were taken as security the adults of future servility. There the Ministers solicited for the reception of their proposals. There, in a word, was recapitulated the policy of the country, and the Ministry were constantly eclipsed by the influence of this extraordinary power. Nothing throughout Greece and its more distant parts equalled the renown and the power of Mr. Went land. " This thing is not worth any further develop ment, because all of us, thank God, know it. Every one saw that the existence of such a between wall was very prejudicial to the advantage and dig nity of royalty, as well as of the nation. Royalty was unworthily lowered from its high, station, the nation was trampled down, and its Government was no more than a blind tool of ,foreign will, and was only suffered to exist under the conditions of being such. The barrier forming the third power between the Government and the people ought, therefore, to disappear. It was not a question re specting a private secretary confined to the duties. of the private service of the Court,, for, if it had been thus, it would of course have been tole rated. But the individual in question unlawfully formed a whole system of political responsi bility, holding in the State itself the most eminent political stature, which was not acknowledged by law, which exercised in obscurity an immense in ternal and external influence, enacted without any restraint of competency in an individual in whom all government affairs, both great and small, were concentrated, and on whom all depended, from the Minister to the meanest official, and from the deputy and senator to the last citizen, whilst he did neither, filled up any ministerial station, nor was he enumerated among the officials, nor invested with the public character of a statesman. "It was necessary to, counteract this evil, for every one fully understands that his existence would have paralysed the whole. This obstacle was to be removed, and it has been removed. The Ministers proposed and his Majesty accepted the proposal, in consequence of which Mr. Wentland was dismissed from the Palace, and departs from Greece next Friday." WEST INDIA MAILS. 01:1111AMPTON, Mondai Night.—The Royal mail steamship Magdalena, Captain Abbott, h as arr i ve d here with the usual West India mails. The Magdalena brings 198 passengers, among whom is ex-Governor La Trobe, from Melbourne ; and on freight specie value $922,172, plata pins. value $80,530, precious stones value $2,800 ; 1,144 serons cochineal, 671 serons jalap, 118 bales sarsa parilla, 16 live turtle, and sundry merchandise. Dates from Jamaica are to the 27th ult. The business transacted in the itnport-market has been of a limited character, owing principally to the very inadequate stocks of most articles on hand, and prices consequently have advanced. The cholera prevailed to a great extent in many of the agricultural parishes, but most virulently in the districts of St. Anu and St. Thom as in the Vale. The latest accounts from the form er parish speak in discouraging terms of the prospects of the pimento crop, which, it is anticipated, will be se riously affected by the scarcity of labour occasioned by the great mortality among the peasantry and by the circumstance that those of them who have not succumbed to the pestilence are quitting the parish in large numbers. The cholera was still raging at Barbadoes, and many of the troops had died. It appears that the streets, wharves, drc., are nearly deserted ; the Governor has released all prisoners, and no person is allowed to be imprisoned ; and a report is in cirulation that he intends disbanding the police force altogether. In the city burial grounds, on the 28th of June, 311 bodies were deposited, and the deaths during the last fortnight amounted to about 5,000, but it was gradually decreasing in the town, but increasing in the country. The mortality among the whites was very considerable. A Barbadoes paper says :—" We are satisfied that, if accurate returns could be' procured from the rural districts, it would be found that some thing like a gross total of 6,500 persons of an classes, sexes, and ages have fallen victims to this malady since the 14th of May last, the day 011 which the first case of the disease was officially' announced." There has been a very destructive fire at St. Juan, Porto Rico. The fire commenced on the night of the 25th, and continued to burn until the 27th. By a rough calculation the loss of property is sup posed to be 200,000 dollars, principally in goods. Demerara papers state that the colony was healthy, and the weather beautiful. Great dread of the cholera existed. It was currently reported at St. Thomas's that two privateers, under Russian colours, were in those seas, and the British war steamer Devasta tion left that port on the 16th on a cruise. Grenada had been visited with refreshing rains, and the crop was nearly over. The late drought had done serious injury. Tho present sugar crop shows a great falling off, and the quality was infe rior. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (EY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) LrvEßrooL, Tuesday, 10.30 a.m. Wind S., and very fine. .

THE PROPOSED CEMETERY AT KILBURN.—Last even ing a public meeting of the inhabitants of Kilburn and its vicinity was held at the Priory Tavern, Kilburn, to consider the propriety of memorialising the Secretary of State against the proposed site for the Paddington. Cemetery, atMilburn, The chair was occupied by Mr. Bicknell, and from the remarks of those present it appeared that the cemetery would be highly destruc tive to the value of the house property in the vicinity, and that, being too near to the metropolis, it would be contrary to the spirit of the act passed for the closing of such grounds. The site is also within less than half a mile of a continuous range of houses, and a cemetery is already within a short distance. A memorial having been adopted, the proceedings terminated. ACCIDENT TO MR. AUGUSTUS S. LUMLEY, 2D LIPS GUARDS. —At the Marchioness of Westminster's "re ception "at Grosvenor-house, on Friday last, Mr. A. Lumley met with an accident from the falling of a sheet of glass from a skylight, by which the gallant gentleman sustained a severe laceration of his face, and occasioned profuse bleeding. The casualty at the moment created quite a consternation amongst the assembled visitors. On the arrival of several surgeons, it was satisfactorily ascertained that the injuries Mr. Lumley had sustained were only of a superficial nature. Mr. Lumley was re. , moved to his quarters at Knightsbrid ge B arrac k s , an d, we are happy to add, is so far recovered that it is thought he will be enabled to-day to resume his regimental duties. ROYAL NAVAL BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION ...Yet' terday the usual quarterly court of the governors of this institution was held at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's•st., Admiral Lord Radstock in the chair. There were also present Rear Admiral Sir Watkyn D. Pell, Captain Richardson, Commander Jay, Paymaster Ellis, and several other officers. Mr. Skead, the secretary, read the report, from which it appeared that during the last three months the society disbursed 3631. in grants to distressed members, &c., and contributed a sum of 231. 2s. to the Adult Orphan Institution. The total income for the quarter, including abalance of 5631.35. 7d. from the previous one, amounted to 6541. 3s. ld., and the expenditure to 4781. 12s. 6d., leaving in hand a balance of 1751. 10s. 7d. The stock at present invested was stated to amount, to :36,304/. 9s. 9d. The report was unanimously agreed to, and some routine business having been disposed of, the memorials of the appli cants were taken into consideration, and they having been disposed of, the proceedings terminated With A vote of thanks to the chairman. ;':
