A. remarkable essay has been recently put forth by the Count PALEau.N . KRASINSKI. It has re ference to the present war between Russia and Europe, with particular 'regard to its probable consequences. The distinguished author of this pa.mphlet has earned for himself the right to a haring by the ability displayed in his history of the Reformation in Poland, by his sketch of the religious annals of the Slavonic multitudes, but especially by the prescient judgment revealed in his work on " Panslavism and Germanism," among all his political writings his undoubted masterpiece. Allusion being made to this volume last-mentioned, it has been said by a competent observer—" I know no more striking anticipation of public events than has been offered by Count VALERIAN KRASINSKI'S work on " Panslavism azcd Germanism." This was the remark of the Hon. dember for Pontefract in his letter [relating to the occurrences of 1348] addressed to the venerable Ma rquis of LANSDOWNE. It was a panegyric eminently well deserved, and wholly unexaggerated. By his previous writings, therefore, upon a similar theme—writings no doubt more voluminous, but scarcely, we believe, in any respect more remark able than his present effusion, Count KRASINSKI may be said to have earned his right to an audi ence as a pamphleteer, An examination of his argument in regard to the present war between Russia and two at least of the mightier races of Christendom, will be repaid by the light,thereby thrown upon its probable consequences —for our publicist writes with an ample knowledge of his subject, a knowledge ripened by years of calm and serious meditation. His argument, if it fail to convince, cannot but instruot, by the variety and aptness of its illustrative information. Count KRASINSKI, at the outset of his observa tions, takes for granted that the Allies, after either destroying or capturing the Russian fleets both in the Black Sea and in the Baltic—will dis mantle her maritime strongholds, such as Cron stadt and Sebastopol—will wrest from the de feated foe the Aland Islands and Finland, in order to restore them to Sweden—will drive the enemy not only out of the Crimea and out of the Caucasus, but beyond the Pruth, and "even," he says (p. 7), beyond the Dniester. All this, we observe, our publicist takes for granted at the vZiryr commencement. Jud g ing fr o m what the Allies have as y e t d one, we cannot but fear that he is rather sanguine in his anticipations. Judg ing from what they ought to do , we canot bu t t'iink that he searcelygoes far e noug h i n th e limits draw n f or the n eces sa ry preliminaries of a pacification. taking Instead of forOl granted the n driving.ba c k o f t h e Russians not beyond the he ld. Pruth, but even b eyon d the Dniesteyr, rather have heard repeate d what we have already declared again and aga i n ourselves, that peace with Russia c an only be obtained • a secure • when the forces of the CzAB. shall have been permanently driven back, not merely beyond th e Pruth and the Dniester, and the Bug, but beyond the line Of the river Dnieper, the current of whi c h marked w, until the year 1689, the boundary of the Russian dominions. But to return to the argu ment of Count VALERIAN KRASINSKI, supposing all those results of the war with Russia to be inevitable --the destruction of the fleets of the & A R, in the Euxine and the Baltic, the dismant ling of C ro nstadt and Sebastopol, the restoration of the Aland Islands and of Finland to Sweden, the expulsion of the Muscovite armies from the Crimea And the Caucasus, the emancipation from the rule of the AUTOCRAT of the pro vince of Bossarabia--our author asks, even then, pertinently and most startlingly— " Would it not be humiliating Russia without crippling her power, and irritating her national feeling without depriving her of the means of revenge T-' Yes—with him we think assuredly— leB ! We think with him in this rather appalling cenclusion, because we believe no less firmly than he believes, that while the loss of Finland, and of the Crimea, and of the Caucasus, would be galling Stee the pride of the Russian CZAR, and to the atttitiottPf the Russian population, the destruc- 1 . ..4 4 1,14.1.41eet s would let* !.''.' : -• • ' , only be ridding them of , „ .

Wherefore, remarks our pamphleteer, in the event of the results of the war already particu larised—" I think that instead of permanently arresting the progress of her conquest and influ ence, it would produce only a temporary suspen sion of both, because I am convinced that by a proper attention to her internal administration she may easily repair her losses, and, taught by severe experience, gain in many respects a real strength, where she has now only an appearance of it." Gain a real strength—to what end 7 Is it not obvious ? Is it not inevitable ? To carry out her projects of aggression and her designs of spoliation, and her schemes of territorial aggran disement, at a more fitting time and under more propitious circumstances. Yes, without doubt, unless the war produce other and more notable results than those already particularised, we shall—as Count KRASINSKI hesitates not boldly to intimate at once at the out set—be only " humiliating Russia without crip pling her power, and irritating her national feel ing without depriving her of the means of re venge !" The inference to be drawn from this does not surely require any elaborate exposition. It is manifest at a glance. It is the necessity of building up an effectual barrier against the incur sions of Russian barbarism upon the civilised na tions of Christendom. Only one species of barrier can be effectual for that purpose—a barrier the strength of which must be both moral and physical —that of distinct, powerful, and independent nationalities. For the whole force and lucidity of the argument leading to this conclusion to be adequately appreciated, we would commend our readers themselves to examine into the claims here put forward of the Count VALERIAN KRASINSIdS ability as a political pamphleteer. The debate on the question that the House of Commons should resolve itself into Committee on the Russian Government Securities Bill has been adjourned until Monday, and as it is more than probable that the time of the representative branch of the Legislature will on that day be fully occupied with the discussion on " the Vote of Credit," there is great danger that one of the most useful bills of the Session, one indeed of paramount and urgent importance, may be quietly shelved until next year. When we consider the difficulties that obstruct a private Member, even under the most favourable circumstances, the chances of a result so untoward are materially increased. It is, therefore, indispensable that, as there is not sufficient time to obtain an adequate demonstration in favour of the excellent measure of the Noble Lord the Member for Marylebone, the organs of public opinion in the metropolis and in the provinces should speak out distinctly and intelligibly, so that the nature of the question may be clearly understood, and that the several con stituencies may accurately know the proceedings of their representatives in reference to the inte resting topic. The object of the Bill was explained by the Hame Secretary briefly, but distinctly, so as to leave no doubt on the subject. It was "to pro hibit indirect advances to an enemy with whom we are engaged in actual hostility, stamping them with reprobation." The existing law already for bids direct advances. We have recently had official announcements that any British subject taking part in the New Russian Loan will be guilty of an act of high treason. Why, then, should any thing be sanctioned that would encourage others not owing allegiance to Queen VICTORIA to ad vance money to the AUTOCRAT, thereby enabling him to brave the anger of the Maritime Powers, and to protract the war, rendered necessary by his nefarious proceedings. If any dealing in Russian Stock were expressly forbidden in France and England we should not have contracts entered into at Amsterdam or Hamburg for further pecu niary transactions. The Capitalists who may conclude a bargain with the CZAR do not intend to keep the New Securities in their own hands. They hope to negotiate them in every quarter, and on every "Bourse" or Exchange in Europe. I If they cannot dispose of the New Bonds in Lon- don or Paris, they can offer terms sufficient to induce the holders of old Stock, negotiable in these cities, to transfer their investments into the new. This may be done by selling the old he,.e, and buying the new at Amsterdam ; and there can be no doubt that it is the high quota tions maintained during the entire autumn, winter, and spring, that has enabled the CzAR to obtain the present pecuniary assistance he so urgently requires, and without which the process of " crumuling him up" might so much more easily be effected. Many months since when, although the aspect of the poliLical horizon was particularly lowering, war had not yet been declared, we expressly cau tioned all speculators against any dealing in Rus sian Stocks. The 5 per Cents. then maintained a high premium, and were eagerly purchased, be cause they offered a higher apparent in.::erest than British Securities. We pointed out the great en couragement afforded to the CZAR by the favour with which his securities were regarded, and the inducement which high quotations of Russian Stock afforded to a perseverance in the reckless and headstrong course on which he had entered . How could he believe that the British people could be opposed to his pretensions while Russian Stock maintained its price, and " his friend of forty years' standing" retained his place as Prime Mi nister of the United Kingdom. The patriotic speculator c rtainly lent powerful aid in fostering the delusions in which he indulged. But in vain was our warning voice uplifted. "Non olet nummits" appears to be the rule —we will not say of the Exchange, for we are aware that there are many honourable and upright men who would scorn to touch the unclean thing, however great the profit that might be obtained —of many dealers and capitalists ; and whether the object be to crush the efforts of patriots struggling for independence to enable slaveowners to carry on their nefarious traffic, or to provide ammunition for the savage enemies of Great Bri tain, to be used against its gallant defenders, seems to be a matter of perfect indifference. Tney want to make money, but care not as to the mode, whether it be honestly or otherwise. Now, we confess that we cannot feel sym pathy with such persons, nor do we think that they have any just claim to indulgence. They plunged into the speculation with their eyes open, after being distinctly warned, and if they now sustain losses, they can only be regarded as the natural consequences of the reckless proceed ing instigated by the unhallowed " greed of gain," the griping cupidity that makes them seek their person a l profits in the injury to their country, 1 and to those who owe the same allegiance as them selves. We cannot agree with the Hon. Secretary for the Treasury, whose opposition to the patriotic viewsof the Noble Home Secretary, were witnessed with considerable regret. We believe that it would not be from prohibiting, but from sanction lug, such dealings on our Stock Exchange that we I would " incur the contemptuous remarks of the persons connected with the Money Markets of Europe." We protest against Englishmen being permitted to purchase either from the Emperor of RUSSIA himself, or from anv of his agents or creditors the stock created anterior to the war. As Mr. WILSON himself declares, the effect would be to g i ve a premium to foreigners: to make the Dutch hold the new and the Eng lish the old stock. We wish to forbid the " transfer" of these stocks, and that can only be achieved by carrying, without delay, through both Houses of Parliament, the admirable proposition of Lord DUDLEY STUART, and prohibiting any dealing by Englishmen, either at home or abroad, in Russian Securities, whether created anterior or subsequent to the declaration of war and the com mencement of actual hostilities. " The little bill" has been presented—that is t o sa y, -the gross amount, but not the details. The . irape.rtinent curiosity_ of those who :are. not content with the announcement of "the dimm'd total" has not as yet been gratified, but we know that the further credit required by the Coalition is only THREE MILLIONS STERLING—an insignifi cant sum, which no thorough-going Ministerialist can object to place at the disposal of the ABERDEEN Government. We are to know nothing of the mode of expenditure—that is to be left to the I discretion of the " Coalition. " Lord Joan RUSSELL does " not think that it will be necessary to lay any estimate on the table." The sum may be expended, for anything that appears to the contrary, in purchasing an ignominious peace, paying "tooth money" to the Russians for the wear and tear of their molars while devouring the substance of the Wallachians, or for the blunting of their sickles in reaping the unripe crops in the vicinity of the Danube, or, possibly, in paying for the ammunition ,so cou rageously expended in destroying the stranded British steamer. Any of these matters might be justified as war purposes, and we have nothing on which to depend save the resolution and deter mination of the energetic and inflexible ABERDEEN. Nor are we much better off for information as to the mode in which the money is to be raised. The Noble Leader of the representative branch of the Legislature tells us merely that it will not be necessary to take any vote in Committee of Ways and Means, the votes already granted by the ilouse being sufficient for the purpose ! This is something like the argument used to au inex perienced youth when first initiated in the art and mystery of " doing a bit of stiff !" He is told that he has nothing to do but write his name across the oblong piece of paper laid before him, and bearing a stamp proportioned to his means and position. If be knows any bankers at which to make it payable so much the better. .If not, it is of no consequence. His obliging and conside rate mentor will supply the deficiency. Nor is there any necessity for thinking of the means of payment. Time enough for that. All that is required is that he should " pass his vote of cre dit," and his kind friend will do all the rest, and possibly, the rather verdant acceptor into the bargain. It might be necessary to caution a raw boy just let loose from school against so stale a device. But the chosen representatives of the British people—the " discreet" knights, citizens, and burgesses in Parliament assembled, want no such warning. They are too well aware of the nature and effect of a vote of credit. They know that no capitalist would for a moment hesi tate about advancing money on such a security, and that no promises or representations of the party who obtained the vote, or the acceptance, could dispense with the necessity of making full provision for its liquidation at maturity. By granting the credit, the House of Commons will have contracted the obligation of sanctioning any new impost that the Financial Minister may deem it expedient to demand, just as the juve nile acceptor of the bill, the unmustachioed coronet, or the ambitious freshman is at the mercy of the discounter of his acceptance. We confess, too, that notwithstanding the as surance of the Noble President of the Council, we cannot discover where the 3,000,0001. is to come from. We are aware that in Budget No. 1 (that of the sth of March), the Chancellor of the Exchequer added a conjectural sum of a million and a quarters for the extraordinary ex penses of the then intended expedition, over and above the amount actually allocated there for. Subsequently, on the Bth of May, he took credit in his estimate for 850,0001. as an ample fund to cover every deficiency. But these sums amount only in the aggregate to two millions one hundred thousand, not to three millions ; and we need scarcely point out the dan ger of going to the extreme limit of the estimate, a matter which no prudent Minister would ask, and no prudent representative would grant, more espe cially in the face of a decreasing revenue, which renders it almost a certainty that the calculation must be materially damaged, and a considerable deficiency regarded as more than probable. If, therefore, Parliament was willing to repose the blind and influential confidence demanded by Ministers to render them perfectly independent, until the month of February next it would not be safe to do so, in a merely financial point of view. The vote could not be judiciously passed without a further financial explanation, and a clear and definite understanding as to the mode in which the necessary funds are to he provided for its liquidation. But there is another and even a stronger light in which it must ba regarded. Is the country so entirely satisfied with the past conduct of Lord ABERDEEN and his colleagues that they are willing to repose unlimited trust in his and their hands for six months longer I No further estimate being prepared, nothing for which the money can be required being pointed out, it can only be asked for in order to render " the Coalition" independent of Parliament. A very pleasant proceeding for them selves, unquestionably, but not so for those whose further assistance may be thereby dispensed with for no less than six calendar months ! Surely no amount of confidence can justify such a demand. Nothing could even palliate a course so insane and reckless. Had Lord ABERDEEN been as dis tinguished for uncompromising firmness as he is the reverse—had he been the hereditary enemy, in place of " the forty years' friend," of the AUTO CRAT—it would be unreasonable to ask for such unlimited license. On Monday the question is to be discussed. There cannot be many popular demonstrations during the interval, but the Press should make itself heard, and, while giving ex pression to the voice of public opinion, show Honourable Gentlemen what is expected at their hands, and what they must do if they would retain the respect and esteem of their respective constituents. MR. eIIARLZS &VIM, OF ENFIELD, We, the undersigned, do hereby declare, that knowing Mr. Charles Smith to have carried on the business of wine merchant for 25 years at Enfield, (where he has been greatly respected,) and being acquainted with his affairs, and having at his desire considered the statements recently published in several newspapers that he was bankrupt, tending so seriously to injure him in his business and character, and having also considered that such statements, although injurious, were made inadvertently, and without any intention to injure, and have been fully and publicly denied and explained by the newspapers, which inserted them, are of opinion that the legal proceedings instituted by Mr. Smith on account of those statements, may be properly given up, and that this our advice should, for his warranty in so doing, be published in the same newspapers.

The deceased, who was in the prime of life, having been born in the year 1824, was the third Baron Langford, and was but a few years since married to Miss Conolly, who was unfortunately drowned while bathing in the month of October last. Four children survive, the eldest and heir to the estates being but six years old. W. S.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 6,000 bales, including 1,000 American taken for export and on speculation. The market closed steadily. Railway Shares were steady at improved prices. The changes in the position of the Bank of Eng land during the week to the 15th instant, were again mostly referable to the dividend and other payments, and accordingly we find a decrease in the private securities owing to the running off of loans upon the opening of the transfer books. The deposits, however, were smaller, consequently money was being withdrawn for investment in stocks, or for employment in trade. The Govern ment account was smaller, but not more than might be expected. The bullion was lessened, but the internal circulation was probably one cause as wellas the exportation to the Continent. Compared with the previous weeS, the changes are as fol low : Active circulation.... Increase Bullion Decrease Rest Increase Public Deposits Decrease Other Deposits Decrease.

The gold (about 96,0001.) received this week by the Samuel Boddington, from Melbourne, has already been sold for shipment to the Continent. During the week to Thursday last the exporta tion of specie from London comprised 186,965 ozs. of silver to Hamburg, Rotterdam, and Boulogne, and 410 ozs. of gold to Hamburg and Belgium. The special meeting of the Quartz hock Mining Company was held to-day—Mr. Alderman Carter in the chair. A resolution was passed for handing over to the contributors to the subscription raised to meet the present difficulties of the company the whole of the 11,054 unissued shares as security, who would also receive back their money, less 2s. 6d. for expenses, in case of the property being aban doned. For public Securities the market hag been rather firmer this morning, but with very little doing. Consols have realised 921 to 92 1 for transfer and 928 to g. for account. The New 31 per Cents, have been 92/ to 93i, and the 3 per Cents. 92g- to 1. Bank Stock has rallied from 2091 the price at which it opened, to 211. India Stock is quoted 224.

The Directors of the Devonshire Great Consoli dated Copper Mining Company at their board meeting, held yesterday, declared a dividend of 9,2161., being 91. per share, out of profits from sales of copper ores sampled in the months of March anti April last. After payment of the same, there remains in hand a balance of 23,2991. ss. 4d. in cash. Ore bills not at maturity, and reserved fund, applicable to the general purposes of the company. The Railway Share Market has been livelier, and there was an improvement in the prices upon the commencement of business, which, however, has not in all cases been maintained. Caledonian are fluctuating, and Great Northern and Great Western not so good. North- Western are very well supported ; Lancashire and Yorkshire have been in request, and also Midland. In Manchester and Lincoln Union there is a decided advance. Oxford and Wolverhampton have been more dealt in. Foreign Shares are inactive. The Mining Market is steady, as regards the few shares dealt in, and the Banks have been at full rates. Crystal Palace are quiet. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY.—CLOSING PRICES.

MORE NEGOTIATIONS. (Prom the Press of this day.) The secret negotiations which we announced on the 27th May as actively carrying on. and to the course cf which we have frequently called the attention of our readers, may now said to have reached their acmci. The Court of Vienna has not only announced to the Western Powers that it is not the intention of Austria to enter the principalities, even "as an armed mediator," but it has expressed its agreement with the Court of Berlin, that the reply of Russia to the notes of the two German Courts contains propositions conducive to a general peace, founded on the maintenance of the political equilibrium. Further, it not only recommends to the Western Powers a revival of the Conference of Vienna with this object, bucit expresses its wish, in unison with Prussia, that England and France should specifically intimate the terms on which, in their opinion, the general peace may be satisfactorily negotiated and concluded. Referring to our intimation, in our last number, that considerable changes might now be expected in the personnel of the administrative and diplomatic bodies, in order tranquilly to withdraw from the scene individuals highly pronounced in their conduct and convictions, we have now to announce, that his Excellency Comte Walewski, the Ambassador of France, has offered his resignation to his imperial master, which has been duly accepted. His Excellency, as well as the accomplished partner of his life, will leave at the Court of St. James's and in our circles lively recollections of many amiable qualities which had rendered them alike popular and esteemed. It will be remembered that his Excellency is of a Polish family, and has viewed the Eastern question very much with reference to this circumstance. GUN-BOATS, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. London, July 21, 1854. SIR, —You have fought a good fight in trying to over come Admiralty prejudices against efficient gun-vessels for army and navy purposes in the Danube and the Baltic. The press generally has followed your lead—all except the trimming, vacillating, time-serving Times. If that paper had as warmly and properly advocated the right course as you have done, such leading remarks as it contains this day would have been unnecessary ; for nobody doubts its influence, and the authorities dread it more than any other journal, from its great circulation. In spite of its time-serving, it has been compelled more than once to make allusions to the subject, but never before so plainly as today ; and if (a natural in ference from its heretofore neglect of the question) it is in the service of the Government, the following copy of its leader will probably be the occasion of no slight hauling over the coals : " From the moment that we can throw a sufficient naval force or flotilla into the Danube, the Russians are cut off in the Do brudscha." And again,—" It is an extraordi nary, and almost incredible fact, that down to this time, nearly four months after the declaration of war, the Russians should still have had the use of a steam flotilla in the Danube, and that the allied flags should only now appear there ; for one of the most obvious requirements in the war both in the Black Sea and the Baltic was a multitude of small vessels fit for service in shallow waters." Sapient Editor—ls it only now you have found that out ? Look back just three months— look into your own columns read Mr. Scott Russell's letter—read Mr. Kennedy's question to the First Lord of the Admiralty—read Captain Clax ton's letter, a result, of a reference to his name, and then look through your own remarks, and if you can find a single word of your own written with the in tention of urging the Admiralty to provide the steam vessels you have at last found out would perform good service, and are so much wanted, you will do what I, as a constant reader, have been unable to accomplish. You, sir, of Ike Sun, have done your best, and every word you have said is fast being proved true—every prognostication of what was likely to follow is in the act of fulfilment. One Pruth, or one Nix or Salamander would now destroy, without much trouble, or without any risk, the whole Russian flotilla in the Danube, and secure to the Allies the command of the river for good and all, and such a vessel need not have waited for the clearing of the Salina mouth of the Danube.—Your obedient servant, NAUTICUS. THE MEDITERRANEAN. SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 21. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Ripon, Captain E. Cooper, arrived here this afternoon, bringing the heavy portion of the East India, China, and Mediterranean mails, and dates from Alexandria July 7, Malta July 11, and Gibraltar July 10. The Ripon brings 74 passengers, among whom are Mrs. Giffard, widow of the late Captain Giffard, of her Majesty's ship Tiger, Sir Anthony Oliphant, and on freight 97 bales of flax, 105 bales of silks, three cases of cheese, 12 packages of silk handkerchiefs, 136 packages of sundry merchandise, and a live hippopotamus. This steamer brings no news from the Mediter ranean. From Gibraltar we have accounts to the 16th inst., by which we learn that the two boys and four seamen belonging to the British brig Cuth bert Young, who escaped from that vessel prior to her capture by the .Riff pirates, and for whose safety but faint hopes were entertained, had been picked up by the British cutter Vampire, bound to Oran, and taken thence to Gibraltar in the French war steamer Tartare. The British steamer Persian, with 110 miles of submarine cable on board, arrived at Gibraltar on the 14th instant, in eight days from Plymouth, and proceeded at once to Genoa. Her Majesty's steamer Antelope, 10 days from Sierra Leone to Teneriffe, and 7 days thence, arrived at Gibraltar on the 13th instant. At Gibraltar exchange was quoted as follows : On Loudon, at 90 days' date, 51± ; Paris, sf. 32c.; Marseilles, sf. 33c.; Genoa, sf. 41c.; at eight days' sight on Madrid, discount ; Cadiz, Malagar, and Seville, par ; Alicante and Valencia, discount ; Barcelona, -k discount ; Spanish pillared dollars, 9 per cent. premium ; Carolus dollars, 13 per oent. premium.

LIVERPOOL, Friday.—The Phi:Bohr, Captain Mollett, belonging to Walthew's Liverpool line of Australian packets, sailed for Melbourne this morning with 370 passengers. The celebrated Black Ball shin Marco Polo, Captain Wild, sails to-morrow morning for Mel bourne, with 660 passengers on board. INCREASE OF BUSINESS AT THE CUSTOMS.—There has been great pressure during the last fortnight in the land ing department of the Customs, in consequence of the large influx of shipping and extensive importations. Two additional landing surveyors have, therefore, been appointed by the Board of Commissioners. The new sugar duties have also materially increased the labours of the officers.—Civil Service Gazette. COURTS OF LAW.—A Parliamentary return states that the number of actions brought in the Queen's Bench in 1851 was 21,221 ; in 1852, 21,625 ' • and in 1 853 , 22,994 ; total for the three years, 65,840. In the Common Pleas, 14,398 actions were brought in 1851 ; 17,879 in 1852 ; and 16,106 in 1853. In the Exchequer, in 1851, 280 actions were entered for trial in London, and 583 in Middlesex ; in 1852, 323 in London, and 534 in Middle sex ; in 1853, 417 in London, and 662 in Middlesex. The number of revenue causes, which are only tried in Middlesex, was 5 in 1851, 14 in 1852, and 4 in 1853.

Captain Hyde Parker, of the Firebrand, was killed by the enemy at Sulina. Five Greeks attempted to assassinate Lord Raglan on the 2d of July. The one who fired was banged, the others flogged. The fleets were at Baltschik on the 10th. SERVIA AND MONTENEGRO. Austria has received very satisfactory assur ances, says a letter from Vienna of the 17th, from the Government of Servia. Prince Danilo, ,of Montenegro, that worthy ally of the Czar, has been attacked by delirium tremens, in consequence of his indulgence in ardent liquors. It appears that on the 22d of May, being the anniversary of his birthday, he gave a grand dinner, at which he drank to such an excess that his mind became affected. The persons about him have endeavoured to keep this event secret from the people, who, preferring to remain neutral in the present war, care very little what happens to the prince." REJECTION OF THE LAST RUSSIAN PROPOSITIONS. The Cologne Gazette contains a letter from Vienna of the 17th, which says that Lord West moreland has been authorised by his Government to refuse, purely and simply, to take into considera tion the last Russian propositions. Voss's Gazette, of Berlin, has the following from Vienna, 16th :—" It is thought that the conference which Prince Gor tschakoff had yesterday with Count Buol was the last before his departure, for the Russian Plenipotentiary must be convinced that the Russian propositions have not had the success which was expected at St. Petersburg. The report that it is intended to make the Russian re ply the basis of ulterior negotiations, by commu nicating it to the Conference of Vienna, appears to be confirmed ; but it is also certain that the Ambassadors of the Western Powers have declared in the name of their Governments that the Russian reply is not sufficient to form a motive for an armistice. THE WAR IN CIRCASSIA. REDOUT KALEH, GEORGIA, June 25 —The Samp son has been at Soucham Kaleh for a week, and is not yet returned. The Highflyer is at Redoubt Kaleh, but was at Churuksu on Monday, the 19th of June, Selim Pasha demanding an interview with her commanding officer. It was then ascertained that Selim Pasha had just retreated upon that place from Agounghiet, a frontier town, with 12,000 men. At Dugourghiet he had received notice that the Russians and Georgians, number ing 50,000, were about to attack him. Early on Friday morning, as the Turks were commencing a retreat, down came the enemy, and a most fierce battle was fought ; the Turks lost 1,000 men and 11 guns ; the Russian loss is put at 10,000 ; they say they were two days in removing the wounded from the field. Out of 400 Turkish cavalry 14 of them only are now at Churuksu. The Bashi-Bazouks fired and ran, and were fired on by Selim Pasha ; but some of them fought well. Selim Pasha had a horse shot under him, and 10 holes in his coat. He is a brave and fine fellow. He says the Russians will attack Redout Kaleh next. The fortified works at that place are rapidly attaining completion. The Marine artillerymen of the Sanspareil when there did some capital work at the outpost at the confluence of the rivers ; and now the Highflyer's men are busy plac ing a chain across the south river, and, when that is done, are to place a boom across the north river. The southern stream has been made navigable arti ficially by the Russians, who have connected it with the Rhiou (Phasis), preferring Redout to Poti as a port, the latter place being some distance from the river's mouth, and at some seasons of the year difficult of apprcach, more particularly owing to what the Yankees call " snags," or large floating pieces of timber, swept from the interior. Every thing from Russian Georgia came to this place. Sugar appears to have been the principal import. At Redout Kaleh there is great activity in making defences ; stockades, blockhouses, and earthworks are showing themselves at all points. These are now carried on by Lieut. H. B. Roberts, Marine Artillery officer of the Highflyer, who directs the operations of 2,000 Turks, who work well when kept to it ; but at times, in spite of their " Yoos Bashis" (literally, captain of a hundred, or centu rion) and " ba-Bashis" (corporal, or captain of ten), they gradually drop off to some secluded place with their chibouques, their numbers becoming " beautifully less," and at length their officers begin to follow their example. Then comes an appeal to their Meralai (General), and then they again come trooping to work. They readily learnt to making gabions, and greatly prefer that work to digging and c u tang sods. The parapet has been raised to eight feet, and a similar one is making on the north side of the river. A correspondent says,—" There is yet plenty to be got through to make the place perfect, according to the rules of fortification, but, even as it is, I would rather be with 2,000 in the defence than 6,000 in the attack. It is very troublesome to get the Turks mustered in a morn ing, and one must be always with them to make them stick to it. The other day, when a long line of parapet was completed by a great effort, the Turks rushed with their spades on the banquette, and, putting them to their shoulders after the man ner of so many tophek ( muskets), took imaginary pot-shots at "Moskoo," and afterwards all sat smoking in the rear of the , rampart, admiring n uatly the result of the ir day s performance, and apparently wondering how the deuce they could have done it. It is very troublesome, teo, when, as frequently happens, the progress of the works is interrupted by several of them taking it into their heads to leave off work, and, sticking a sword or a piece of stick into a portion of parapet just com pleted, commence their prayerg and genuflexions and head-bowings towards Mecca (the stick is supposed to represent the head of Mahomet) ; then they are tremendously i n th e way and cannot • be disturbed. THE BLACK SEA. " VARNA, July 9.—The Caradoc, steam-despatch vessel, Lieut.-Commander Derriman, leaves this evening with Lord Raglan's despatches. I have little news to tell you further than was contained in my last. Reports have reached us of the Aus trians marching on Widdin, and a colonel being sent to form a part of Lord Raglan's staff. Two transports arrived yesterday with cavalry from England, and the English have now 22,000 effective fighting men. A party of seamen and sappers from the fleet have gone to the Danube to construct boats, rafts, and bridges, for the passage of the troops. The Russians are falling back and destroy ing everything as they go." Another letter, dated Baltchick, July 9, says : " The fleets are still at anchor, and while the armies are this side of the Danube there is little chance of either fleet going to sea. There is a flying squad ron off Sebastopol, and detached steamers off the mouth of the Danube to prevent supplies and com munication. The steamer Fury had left the fleet yesterday, with Russian prisoners to exchange. She will bring back those of the Tiger, when there will be a court-martial on the surviving officers and men. The weather excessively hot. A seaman of the Rodney was shot by a midshipman of . that ship, and died this morning. The bo y was trying a re volver, and the pistol went off by accident." The Lloyd of Vienna has Cr following from Odessa, dated 7th :—" The allied fleet, accom panied,by a great number of transports, was pro ceeding probably to Anapa and Rowaro-Tyrsck, the two last points preserved by the Russians o n the Caucasian coa st. It is said that 12,000 men are to be found there. The fortifications of this place a re provided with a considerable num ber of pieces of 36, with mortars recently brought from the interior of Russia. It is cal culated that 25,000 men are here and in the neighbourhood." MOVEMENTS OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY. A letter from Lemberg, 13th, says :—" Count Schlick, the Commander-in-Chief of the corps d'armee of Gallicia, arrived here yesterday, and to day the Archduke Charles Louis gives a grand dinner on the occasion. The last military mea sures of Russia prove that she expects a war with Austria. Troops are hastily marching from the interior of Poland on Podolia and Volhynia, par ticularly cavalry, as the employment of that force in the plains of Podolia is much relied on. The Cossacks have been called from all parts of the country, but they are for the most part irregulars. The concentration of troops in Podolia, on the line of the Sereth, and near the defiles of Transylvania are much more considerable than on our northern frontier towards Volhynia. It is also said that numerous bodies of troops are being assembled near Cracow. The Russians are seeking to cover the approaches to the Crimea in Bessarabia. The coasts of the Baltic, on the contrary, are nearly cleared of troops. It is stated that the hereditary . Grand Duke will positively have the Command in-Chief of the army of the south, an d have witht him Prince Gortschakoff and Gen. Tchernischoif. MOVEMENTS OF Ol\iER PACHA. We extract the following from a letter dated Constantinople, July 1Q j--I have just received news which announces that Omer Paella is pro ceeding to Rutschuk with a body of 30,000 men ; 25,000 - Ottoman troops, with 5,000 cavalry, are already there. It was by many thought that a passage of the Danube at that place was projected by the Turks. I can assure you, from most positive authority, that the Ottoman commander-in-chief has received orders on no account to cross the Danube. Persons are not wanting who express great asto nishment at the retreat of the Russians from Silis tria not having been followed up with more energy, and the blame is laid at the door of diplomacy. The Turco-Greek differences are on the high road to wards adjustment. A commission has been named, composed of English, French, and Greek members. Rustem Bey left yesterday for Greece, to act as Turkish commissioner. Everybody is anxiously in quiring what the next move will be, and nobody knows. The Eastern difficulties seem likely to be thrown back on the hands of diplomacy again, from which they had fairly emancipated themselves. Everything continues tranquil here, whilst the capital is nearly deserted, on account of the exces sive heat that has set in. Count Zamoiski, who has been for the last few months endeavouring to bring about the formation of a Polish legion, left for Varna and Schunala last week. It cannot be said that any success has crowned his endeavours. There are a good many—indeed, too many—Polish officers attached to the Turkish army in Asia. Count de Mefray, of the National Guard of Paris, has just been named colonel in the Ottoman army, and is also about to leave for Kars. The speech of Lord Lyndhurst on the 19th, in the House of Lords, has created a great sensation amongst the reading public at Constantinople ; and the reply of Lord Clarendon, which puts aside all idea of a re turn to the status quo ante bellion, has given much satisfaction. According to trustworthy accounts that have been received here, the Russians, in re treating from Wallachia, are carrying off all the valuables they can lay their hands on, inclusive of the church plate, &c. They have possessed them selves of the funds deposited by the inhabitants with the chief of every village. The other day a council was held at the Porte, which was at tended by the representatives of Austria and Great Britain. The Ottoman Government is desirous of sending a body of troops into Wal lachia, at the same time that Austria commences the military occupation of the Danubian pro vinces. This was opposed by the internuncio. Matters have, however, been satisfactorily ar ranged. The two Hospodars purposed returning conjointly with the Austrian army, which is not in accordance with the views of the Turkish Ca binet. The exclusive occupation of Wallachia and Moldavia by Austrian forces does not meet the views of the Porte. It has, however, been agreed that no Ottoman force will be sent there for the present, but simply commissaries, to act in the • name of the Sultan. TEXT OF THE AUSTRO-PRUSSIAN SUMMONS TO RUSSIA. The Journal des _Mats publishes the following as the text of the Austrian and Prussian summons to the Czar to evacuate the Principalities :-- "TO COUNT ESTERHAZY, AT ST. PETERSBURG. " Vienna, July 3. "In presence of the great crisis which keeps Europe in a state of anxious expectation, the Emperor, our august master, has resolved to address himself once more to the magnanimous sentiments of the Emperor Nicholas, by in' viting him to weigh the urgent necessity of seeking some means of putting an end to a state of things so threatening for all positions and all interests. " It is impossible to conceal that the occupation of the two principalities of the Danube by the Russian troops has been one of the principal causes of the disquieting de: velopment which the present quarrel has taken, and that at this very time it is that measure which has caused the failure of all attempts to arrive at a pacific solution. J 3 l, the silence which sho has observed to the summons o' Franee and England, tending to the evacuation of these principalities, Russia has placed herself in a state of Ws with the two Western Powers, and by that has given t° the stru g gle a fresh and so great an extension that it i ll impossiolo to foresee the disastrous consequences that mat result from it. " The Emperor Nicholas cannot be ignorant to what point the interests of the Austrian empire, which are con' founded in many respects with those of G erman y, haf° already suffered in a political, commercial, and mannf a l; turing point of view from this prolonged occupation. -10 is also evident that these evils must inc: ease in pron orti° to the extension given to the theatre of war. " In this serious state of things, the Emperor, our nil: gust master, penetrated with the duties imposed upon 1111 ;; by the care of the interests of his people, sees hintse'. compelled to accept, by the protocol of which a copy is a nexed, engagements from the accomplishment of which he cannot withdraw. "The Emperor of Russia in weighing all these consi" derations, will appreciate the importance which the EP: peror, our august muster, must attach to the Russi!_ne armies not extending their operations further in VI., countries beyond the Danube, and that he should on EP: side furnish positive indications as to the precise periods and we hope not a distant one, when an end will be Po t ' to the occupation of the principalities. " The Emperor Nicholas, we doubt not, wishes for pence' He will, consequently, consider on the means of puttit4 an end to a state of things which tends every day more ano more to become for Austria and Germany a fruitful s ource of calamities. He will not wish, by an indetertnin ate duration of that occupation, or by attaching to the evacua tion conditions the accomplishment of which will be in dependent of our will, to impose on the Emperor Franc': Joseph the imperious duty of himself devising the mea n _ for protecting the interests which are so seriously corn Pry raised by the present state of things. " Have the goodness, M. le Comte, in reading the Pr e ; sent despatch to Count Ness lrode, and in handing hin.j i copy of it, to point out the particular value which we at to receiving prompt and precise declarations, which goy serve to tranquillise our own interests, and at the same tiwe ' serve to put an end to the horrors of war.—Accept, (Signed) " DE BUOi' " TO BARON DE WORTIIERN.
