Some evil-disposed persons had certainly con spired, with " malice aforethought," to rob the PALMERSTON Administration of their fair fame in this world of progress. It is some consolation, however, to know that her MAJESTY was graciously pleased to entrust the Royal Speech to a commis- sion.

There never were less materials on hand for a Royal Speech, without launching out into foreign affairs, and as the least said on such matters at present may be best for all parties, we may think ourselves very fortunate in having a Speech from the Throne at all, at the end of such a season of legislative catastrophies TFIESE would be sad and dreary times if we had not some lands of promise to look upon, and relieve us of the dull monotony of political intriguing, iudedtedness, poverty, turmoil, and bloodshed of the Old World. We should tremble for the future of civilisation, and those glorious institutions, mable charms of freedom of thought and iction, leave the youngest countries to emulate the the greatness and power of the oldest empires. The position of Europe is at this moment too abnormal to admit of our contemplating it with an ordinary degree of composure. If we would fain hope for success in the honest pursuits of indus try and commerce, we must turn our eyes to the lew and distant worlds which have grown up around us within little more than a. generation.

Wido-spread doe titution, ignorance, and insatiable ambition, are the difficulties which threaten us near home. The ocial evils of ages of prodigality and neglect have culminated to a point which alarms those who will look facts straight in the face, and there does not appear to be a man in any of the continental States vho can devise any reasonable means of escaping Great armies, fleets, and gorgeous parades and spectacles seem to be the impending crisis favourite specifies and leading mainstays of and where we see so much nd emptiness on n incalculable bles one side, it is well, nay that we can turn to e in the history of our time, where all is city, content and progress. Had the Great Britain been denied a fair share in ains of social amelioration—had we not par utions impart to man's existence, if cur enter- prise, love of peace, and ceaseless toil had not been y rewarded with that of other nations, we hould now be gazing on the coming dissolution of But we have pushed onward the work of civilisa tion, and scattered our people and laws, religion and institutions, wherever a community of civilised men could be planted, or our national standard raised. We might have done more, but we have accom plished much that is gigantic. The Anglo-Saxon race have raised themselves to perfect independ ence in all that belongs to material greatness, moral power, and political stability. We only require the cultivation of the ties of a common brotherhood to perpetuate our boundless do - minion, consolidate our power, and live by and within ourselves, should other nations col lapse and return to a reign of terror, darkness , and bondage. America has in California the ample aid industry and enterprise so much repaired to save her from a lamentable revulsion; and Britain has in Australia still larger supplies of the prime element of defence and prosperity, " as by law Comparing the growth of these ablished." two young giants, must, for ages to come, inspire the Old World with new hopes and fresh confi dence.

We have no desire to appear as though we were resorting to swagger, but since our commerce must suffer by any serious occurrence on the Continent, it is time that we directed the attention of this mercantile country to palpable facts which must have so strong a reassuring tendency THE COURT The Queen held a Privy Council at Osborne, on Mon day afternoon. It was attended by Prince Albert, the Lord Chancellor, Viscount Palmerston, First Lord of the Treasury ; Sir George Grey, Secretary of State for the Home Department; the Right Hon. H. Labouchere, Secretary of State for the Colonies ; Lord Panmure, Secretary of State for War ; the Right Hon. R. Vernon Smith, President of the Board of Control for the Affairs of India; Lord Stanley of Alderley, President of the Board of Trade ; the Right Hon. M. T. Baines, Chan cellor of the Duchy of Lancaster ; and Lord Ernest Bruce, Vice-Chamberlain (officiating for the Lord Chamberlain). The Duke of Cambridge was introduced at the Privy Council. The Royal Speech on closing the Session of Parliament was submitted and was approved by her Majesty in Council. The Duke of Cambridge, General Commanding-in-Chief had an audience of her Majesty. Viscount Castlerosse had an audience of the Queen, and kissed hands, on being appointed Comp troller of her Majesty's Household. Lord Panmure and Mr. Secretary Labouchere had audiences of her Majesty. The Duke of Cambridge, Viscount Palmerston, the Lord Chancellor, Sir G. Grey, Lord Panmure, Mr. Vernon Smith, Lord Stanley of Alderley, Mr. Baines, Lord Ernest Bruce, Viscount Castlerosse, and the Hon, W. Bathurst left the Waterloo-bridge terminus at twenty five minutes past nine o'clock, by a special train on the London and South Western railway. Mr. Secretary Labouchere joined the party at Basingstoke. On arriving at Gosport the Duke of Cambridge and the Ministers embarked in the Black Eagle and crossed to the Isle of Wight, arriving at Osborne at half-past one o'clock. After attending the Queen's court, the Duke of Cam bridge, the ministers of state, and the officers of the royal household, re-embarked in the Black Eagle at half-past four o'clock, and crossed to Gosport, where the Duke of Cambridge remained, Viscount Palmerston and the other cabinet ministm.s travelled from Gosport to London by a special train on the South Western Railway. OSBORNE, July 28.—The Queen and Prince, the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and Princess Alice, attended divine service at \Vhippingham Church yester day morning. The Princess of Prussia also attended the service. The Rev. G. Prothero officiated. The Prince of Prussia, attended by Count Puckler and Lieutenant-Colonel de Boyen, took leave of her Majesty this morning, and left Osborne for London. His Royal Highness will honour the Duke of Richmond with a visit at Goodwood to-morrow, and proceed from thence to Dover, en route for Germany. THE BRITISH ITALIAN LEGlON.—Active steps are being taken for the release of the men of the British Italian Legion. The Sardinian subjects are being conveyed to Genoa in divisions of 500 strong, at intervals of a week or ten days ; and on arrival the Sardinian police furnish them with feuilles de route and oblige them to return to their homes forthwith. The force is composed of 1,700 Sardi nians; 854 Austrians, Lombards or Venetians; 151 Mode nese and Parmese ; 86 Tuscans ; 10 Neapolitans ; and 16 Romans. Of these there are no less than 700 Austrian subjects unprovided with any pasports or documents to enable them to return home. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY EVENING The Liverpool Cotton Market continues quiet, and with a limited demand to-day prices remain without change. The sales amount to 6,000 bales, of which one-half have been taken for speculation and export. The Share Market opened with a steady tone, and continued much in the same state until nearly the close, when prices became rather easier, leaving off at the following quotations :—Aherdeen, 141 142.

Wheat declined From 2d. to 3d. per bushel, and Flour 61. per sack and barrel lower. The Manchester Goods Market has shown more firmness to-day, and prices have had an upward tendency for both Goods and Yarns. The stocks offering during the past few days have all been cleared off at the advanced rates. The following is a statement of traffic receipts of the Great Western Railway of Canada by pas senger and goods trains for the week ending 11th July, 1856 :—Week ending 11th July, 1856, total receipts, 9,20717 s 7d; per mile per week, 321 lOs 7d.

Increase, 5831 12s 2d—all sterling. Accounts from Spain mention that the instal ment of the 13 million francs paid by the Credit Mobilier Company to the Spanish government, on account of the loan of 200 million reals, had arrived safely at Madrid, where it was dsposited in the Treasury under the • control of the new Minister of Finance. Contrary to what had been understood (that this sum would be paid in silver), it appears that it is entirely composed of French gold pieces ; therefore, before it can be made current in the Peninsula, it is to be converted into Spanish money. The specie arrivals reported yesterday comprise the important total of about 416,0001., including 60,000 ounces of gold by the Oliver Lang, from Melbourne; and 880,000 dols. by the Canada, from th 3 United States. These supplies are expected to be in hand to day, and to be sent to the Conti nent. Assuming that the steamer Royal Charter sailed from Melbourne for Liverpool at the date fixed, viz., the 25th of May, this vessel has now been at sea 65 days. The new Great Britain ship from Port Philip was telegraphed this morning off Pen zance, with gold on freight to the value of 20,0001. Her date of leaving has not yet been ascertained. The usual report of the French Bourse yesterday has not yet come to hand, in consequence of the non-arrival of the mail. By telegraph the closing prices of the 3 per Cents. show an improvement of 5c on the previous quotations, for money and account. _ Friday next, the Ist August, has been appointed special settling day in tho Stock Exchange for the shares of the Italian Junction Railways Company and Ceylon Railway Company. In each case the shares are to be officially marked. The shares of the former company were more inquired for yester day, owing to the statement relative to new con cessions. The prospectus of the South Western Hotel Association (limited) is issued. In addition to th© general business of an hotel, this company pro- poses to combine some new features. Instead of erecting a large mansion, arrangements have been made for securing a property described as pecu liarly suitable f,pr the purpose. Reference is made to the profits realised by the Great Western Hotel Company, the last dividend of which was at the rate of 25 per cent per annum. The capital is fixed at 50,0001 (subject to increase to 100,0001) in 51 shares. One pound is to be paid as deposit, and 11 on allotment. Amongst the provisional committee we notice Sir C. E. Douglas, Sir John Easthope, Bart., Sir F. G. Moon, Messrs. James Anderton, Charles S. Mortimer, J. G. Frith, &c. The English Funds are quoted at yesterday's closing prices, with a slight improvement in the money quotation. The Money Market is much in the same position, as the imports of the precious metals more than balance the exports. Consols for Money are now 05 951; for the 7th August, 951 658; and for the September Account, 96 964. In the Foreign Stock Market Russian Securities were slightly affected by the rumour of a new loan, but they soon recovered when it was known to be without foundation. The subjoined are the closing quotations of the Foreign Exchanges :—Amsterdam, short, 11 17 to 11 18. Do., three months, 11 191 to 12 18k. Rotterdam, 'do., 12 19 to 12 19+.

In the Railway Share Market business has been limited, and prices generally have shown a tendency to decline, although in one or two instances, yes terday's quotations have been slightly exceeded, and the rates charged for carrying over are heavy. The closing.quotations were :—Caledonian, 603. Eastern Counties, 103 10Z. East Lan cashire, 66 68. Great Northern, 971 98. A, 80 81. Great Western, 62 621. Lancashire and Yorkshire, 97 97k.

The New Prussian Gazette has a communication from Vienna of the 24th, which states that " the large mousta chios a la Victo Emanuel have been prohibited at Milan." AUSTRALIAN MAIL SERVICE.—The following are the steamers which will commence carrying the Australian mail, viz , the Oneide, European, Columbian, Australian, Melbourne, and Sydney. The Oneide will take out the first mail. She will be surveyed in August, and start for Melbourne in October. FEHTBETION OP ART TREASURES AT MANCHESTER Messrs. Young and Co., the contractors for the building at Old Trafford, near Manchester ' have taken possession of the ground, and have commenced the erection of workshops. Many tons of bricks and other materials have also been deposited on the site of the intended erection, which is to be completed in five months from the end of July. kONTENEORO.-A. letter from Trieste, in the Cologne Gazette, says :---" We have received to-day, by Dalmatia, intelligence from Montenegro, which confirms the rumour that 3,500 men had advanced towards Cettingen, under the command of Murki Pet rowitch, This expedition is directed against the district of Kouci, which has refused to pay the annual tribute to Prince Danielo." LATEST INTELLIGENCE. 0 THE COINAGE.—Last year there were coined 8,448,482 sovereigns, 1,120,362 half-sovereigns, 831,017 florins, 1,368499 shillings, 1,129,084 sixpences, 646,041 groats, 4,1 ;CZ fourpenny pieces, 387,838 threepenny pieces, 4,752 twopenny pieces, and 7,920 silver pence. The total value of the silver coined was 1195,510, and the real ccst or value of the metal £192,002. No crowns or half-crowns appear to have been coined since 1852. The copper coinage of 18.55 included 5,273,866 pence, 7,455,837 half-pence, and 3,440,640 farthings—representing a value of £41,091, the purchase value of the copper baying been £22,013. In 1855, 199,564,903 oz. weight of worn silver coin were purchased at a nominal value of £621,550. the Mint value (5s 6d per ounce) being £553,581, and the loss by recoinage £67,968. THE ALLEGED FLOGGING IN THE MARYLEBONE WORK- HOUSE.—On Monday enquiry, which had lasted three days, was concluded by the directors and guardians of the poor of Marylebone, in the board-room of the work house. Mr. Ryan, the master of the workhouse, and Green and Brown, the porters, were the persons whose conduct was under investigation, it having been stated in the course of some proceedings before Mr. Broughton, the magistrate, that they had violently beaten some of the female inmates of the workhouse with canes, and with a horsewhip. The surgeon to the workhouse proved that the girls, who were all under 20 years of age, had been severely maltreated. On the part of the master and the porters, it was contended that the girls, who were of the worst class, were very violent, and that it was necessary to use the canes, &0., in self-defence. At the close of the enquiry Mr. Vanheems, seconded by Mr. Tindall, moved that the master and porters be at once dismissed. The Rev. Mr. Marks also supported the motion. Mr. Batting considered a severe reprimand would be sufficient, with an intimation that a repetition of such conduct would be followed by instant dismissal. Mr. Braes seconded the amendment. The Hon. Mr. Pelham, Mr. Nicholay, and others, having strongly censured the conduct of the master and porters, the amendment, after two divisions, was adopted by a small majority. INGENIOUS SYSTEM OF DECIMAL COINAGE.--A simple, ingenious, and very practical system of decimal coinage has been suggested for the adoption of the Government by Mr. Arthur Bowes, M.A. (Cantab). of Upper Clapton. This gentleman observes that there are three requisites indispens able to the popularisation of any system of decimal coinage —l. That there should be as little interference with our accustomed nomenclature and coins as possible, so as to avoid practical inconvenience in monetary transactions when the change takes place. 2. That the capability of calculat ing and comparing the new and old systems be simple and practical ; and, 3. That the new scale and its uses be made patent to the masses as rapidly, as glaringly, and as uni versally as possible. Mr. Bowes then proceeds to propose that the present farthing (the 960th part of a pound) be circulated (till replaced), as the 1-000th part. The old penny of George 111. (still very common) may be taken as the type of the new pennypieces, which would be made to represent the value of five farthings. The rest of th e coinage might remain in statu quo, with the addition of one new coin, to be called a " decime," and the substitution of the old name of " tester " for what is now called the " sixpence," a term which would, under the new system, be obviously a misnomer. Thus :-10 farthings would make 1 decime (of which the penny is the half and the halfpenny the fourth) ; 10 decimes would make 1 florin (of which the shilling is the half and the tester the fourth), and 10 florins would make 1 sovereign (of which the crown is the fourth and the half-crown the eighth). Mr. Bowes apprehends no serious loss to the Government worthy of comparison with the great convenience of the proposed change. CORONER'S INQUESTS.—Yesterday, the deputy coroner held the following inquests :—On the body of John Jenkirs, a master mariner, found dead in his bed on board his schooner, in the Canning Dock, on Monday morning. Ver dict, "lied from natural causes."—On the body of Sarah Adderly, an infant four weeks old, who was found suffocated at its mother's breast.

EASTERN AFFAIRS A despatch from Constantinople, received via Marseilles, contradicts the report of the occupation of the Isle of Serpents by the Russians. With respect to the evacuation by the Russians of Kars, where the Austrians had brought a force of 12,000 men, it was hoped that affairs would be speedily arranged, especially as the telegraph had announced the approaching arrival of the new Russian Ambas sador, M. Bontenieff. The Constantinople Journal states that the Sheriff of Anucea, after a sanguinary conflict, had taken by assault the town of Taif, where his pre decessor and rival had taken refuge. Hence it was considered that the Arab revolt was put an end to, and it was stated that the defeated Sheriff would be exiled. General Sir William Codrington quitted Con. stantinople for Athens with the fleet, which is in attendance upon him. Marshal Pelissier had arrived at Malta, where be had been sumptuously entertained by the Gover nor. The Marshal was to leave for France on the 26th or the 27th instant. THE FRENCH FUNDS. PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING The following where the quotations of the French Funds at the close of business on the Bourse to-day :--Four and a Half per Cents, 93f. 80c. ; Three per Cents, 70f. 70e. FRANCE A letter dated Paris, Monday evening, informs us that the affairs of Spain continue to constitute the sole topic that excites the slightest public interest here, and even in those there is just now a lull, although the crisis is by no means to be considered as at an end. A few days will, doubtless, bring its solution. In the meantime, Marshal Narvaez returned to Paris this morning, highly indignant at the rejection of his proffered services. He finds that he laboured under a mistake in supposing that he had again become the man of the situation, indispensable in Spain. We are still without any positive news from Saragossa. This may be owing to the small number of troops that can as yet have arrived before the place ; but we hear of others marching thither from various points, and something decisive may be expected soon. The telegraph is about to be re-established, doubtless by a circuitous wire, connecting points on this and the other side of the town. It is generally believed that the article on Spanish affairs in yesterday's Moniteur is from the pen of the Emperor. The Independance Belile says it is rumoured that five English ships of war are immediately to be sent from Portsmouth, to cruise on the coast of Spain. The Moniteur of this day publishes a report of M. Rouher, Minister of Agriculture, &c., to the Empe ror, upon which his Imperial Majesty issues a decree naming seven members of the Council of Commerce, Agriculture, and Industry, as a Com mission to enquire into the manner in which the project of law brought before the Corps Legislatif, repealing certain custom duties, will affect French commerce. Among the members are MM. Baroche, G. Thibaut (President of the Paris Chamber of Commerce), Clere (President of the Chamber of Commerce at Havre), and Fleury. " We are informed," says the Courrier des Alpes, " that General de la Marmora, Minister of War, is to visit Aix-les-Bains, to invite, on the part of the King of Sat,dinia, Marshal Canrobert to visit Piedmont." RUSSIA. Tll9 Invalid Rune publishes the following Impe_ rial rescript, addressed by the Czar to Prince Menschikoff, on the occasion of his jubilee of fifty years passed in the service of the state : " Prince Alexander Sergoviteh,—The completion of the fiftieth year that you have passed in the service of the state, furnishes me with the most agreeable opportunity of recalling the eminent services, both military and administrative, that rendered conspicuous your indefatigable, zealous, and loyal devotedness during the reign of the Emperor Alexander I. of blessed memory, and during the reign of my late father, the Emperor Nicholas. "In the memorable period of the years 1813, 1814, and 1815, you took part, in the capacity of aide-de-camp, and in the functions entrusted to you by your Sovereign, in many actions within sight of the enemy, and everywhere you gave . proof of much personal bravery and great self-denial. " In the course of the war in 1828 against the Ottoman Porte, which was so honourable for you in every sense, the capture of the fortress of Anapa covered you with glory, as likewise the army that fought under your orders. On that occasion you hoisted for the first time, to use the words of your own report, the flag of commander-in-chief of the naval staff, functions with which you had just been invested by the confidence of the monarch. Your labours and the disposition you made at the siege of Varna, in which you were severely wounded by a gun-shot, are no less worth of eulogium. Your name will remain for ever connected with the history of the incomparable defence of Sebastopol, that you maintained for eleven months. " It is to you that belong the first brilliant pages of the annals that will relate to posterity the his• tory of an obstinate defence against the immense forces of the enemies. "In enumerating your military merits, I am happy at being able to mention your civil career. During the 26 years of your administration of the naval jurisdiction, and during your equally long administration of the great principality of Finland, you constantly enjoyed the unalterable good wishes of my father, of imperishable memory, who esteemed you, as he expressed to me before the supreme hour of death, as his companion and friend. " Moreover, your merits and high capacities have caused other functions iu other branches of the government to be confided to you, and in every instance you distinguished yourself by indefati gable and great sacrifice of self. In fully appre ciating the eminent , services you have not ceased to render for half a century, I consider it my duty to express to you my cordial and sincere gratitude, and 1 hope that, amid the labours that await me, I shall obtain your valued assistance and your old devotion, for the welfare of,our beloved Russia. " I remain for ever yours affectionately, (Signed) . "ALEXANDER." "~,r~~a _ _=, may purchase his return at the expense of her honour. But finding even this would not do, under the pretext of heresy, the poor creature was taken from her parents and thrown into prison. The parents went immediately to the Austrian Generel Degedfeld. Cardinal Grasselli n i pre tended to know nothing about it, but the general knew his man, and threatened force. The girl was set at liberty and given over to her parents. The treatment she had received in prison was SD horrible, that what between shame and suffering the poor girl expired in a few days." --__.----.,,10.._.._____ - SPAIN The Madrid papers received yesterday are sin gularly barren of interest, and there is a total absence of news from Saragossa, an absence the more remarkable because we were told that Gen. Echagne had re-established telegraphic communi cation between the outskirts of Saragossa and St. Sebastian. It appears by a Madrid letter, of the 24th, that M. Escosura (the brother of ti ex-Minister), who it was reported had been during the insurrection, has been arrested in a cafe. The Correspondanee Generale, of the same date, says that General Falcon was making " formidable preparations" for the defence of Saragossa. The .3iessager de Bayonne, of the 25th, says is at Saragossa and in Arrtigon that the resistance of the rebels is concentrated. Communication with this province continues to be cut off, and all the details that reach us come from the few travellers who arrive at Bayonne. The insurgents have adopted for their cry, " Vive Espartero, Vive Liberte." They never mention the name of the Queen. It is pretended that the rebel forces consist of 15,000 more or less, well armed. Con fident in their numbers the insurgents propose to occupy positions in front of the town, and to attack the troops sent against them in detail. It is greatly to be hoped that they will act upon this project, for the regular troops will beat these un disciplined hands easily in the open field, and the struggle will terminate with mnch less effusion of blood than it would do in the streets of Saragossa. Despatches have been received from Bayonne of the date of the 28th, which, without adding any thing of a positive nature to the facts already known, continue to represent the situation of Spain in a favourable light, and leave room to hope that tranquility will soon be completely re-established throughout the Peninsula. A bull fighter was gored to death before the eyes of the public at Beaucaire on the 24th. Two men armed with their triple spears entered the circus and began to provoke the bull in the usual manner. The animal rushed at them with such fury that bee was not stopped by the prick of the spear adroitly pointed to his nostrils, which is generally the case. His horns entered deeply into the body of one of the men, who was carried off, and breathed his last in a few hours. ITALY We read in a letter dated Turin, July 24, that the debate in the British Parlia ment on the Italian question, seems to have lulled all the Italian constitutionalists into quiet, although some fear that the movement of Spain may spread further. As long as General Gurrea is at the head of a party, his qUiet, cool courage, and his pure liberal opinions, are sure in the end, to get the better of the ever changing, passionate character of O'Donnell.

AUSTRIA Intelligence from Vienna, d a t e d t h e 28th inst., asserts that nothing positive has yet transpired respecting the Currency Conferences, but it is generally understood that the standard of 21fl. to the fine (Cologne) mark is to be introduced instead of that of 2011, which change would make a difference of 6 per cent. in the value of the Austrian currency. The enemies of Austria in Germany— and unfortunately for her their name is legion— have now spread the report that Baron Bruck intends to take advantage of the above-mentioned deterioration of the currency, in order to reduce the rate of interest of the national debt. For the furtherance of Catholicism in Central Europe, his Majesty the Emperor has granted permission to all the Catholic Unions (Vereine) is Germany and Austria to send deputations to Linz,, in Upper Austria, whe re a C on f erence w il l b e he ld from the 23rd until the 25th September. Although the time granted is so short, people seem to fancy that it is too long for the welfare of the State. The prevalent opinion is that the Ultramon tane party will not be able to realise its plan for the restoration of the power of the Roman Pontiffs, but some of the more zealous Catholics assert that the great public has not the least conception of the influence and activity of the " countless " agents of the Papal Govern ment. That it has foreign and native agents in this city whose influence is paramount is a fact which is as well known to every servant or work man as it is to the higher classes. Every now and then letters from the " Legations" agree in stating . that the ignorance and corruptions of the great bulk of the clergy in the dominions of the Church exceed all belief. The draught of a new law of conscription or' enrolment has been drawn up, and will soon be laid before the Emperor for his sanction. The principal features of the law are said to be the following : The obligation to enter the army begi n s with the end of the 20th and lasts until tfr e corn pleqon of the 25th year. The recruits are t o be divided into five classes, and as a rra s only the first and second (the men of 21 an" 22) will be taken The period of service is ei g ht years, three of which may be passed on flu : tough. After the eight years are at an end, the soldier enters the so-called " reserve" for two years more, and in case of need is liable to be called into active service. Young men who are being educated for the church,- and other " distinguished " students, are exempt from military service. M. de Tengoborski, a Russian Councillor of State, who is much employed in financial ana statistical matters, is now here, and this morning has had an interview with one of the most able of the Vienna financiers. The exact nature of M. de Tengoborski's mission is not known, but he i 5 believed to have received instructions from 12.14 Government to endeavour to find capitol' is t s who are willing to invest their money in Russiao railroads. It has been decided by thrJ Ministers of Public Instruction and of the IP:terior that the Jews in Austria shall establish public schools for their children, and that at 'their own expense. AUSTRIA AND ITALY. The Cologne Gazette publishes a despatch, dated Vienna, July 24, which states, that on the 22nd an order had been forwarded to Gratz, directing 3,000,000 of ball-cartridges to be sent from the magazines of that place to Italy. The minister of war, at the same time, countermanded the orders for reducing the cavalry and artillery to a peace footing. All the troops stationed in Istria, Krain, Steyermark, and Kceernthen, have received the route. Prince Paul Esterhazy had left with tv numerous suite for Moscow.
