The following despatches have been received to-

Miusiu.ss, JULY 23.

Amounts have been received from Coustentioople to the
16th. The assault on the Malaktieff Tower has been de-
ferred, and will be probably preceded by a bombardment.
The Allies are making preparations to render permanent
the blockade of all the Russian ports, and also to establish
several camps both at Constantinople and on the Danube.
General Iturarieff has suddenly abandoned the siege of
Hare. It is supposed that he wishes to surprise ETMOWS,
or that ha proposes to stuck the Turks in the open field.
Resobid Pocha has published a Whir in reply to some as.
outlaws of the Constautiorensti.

VIINNA. JOLT 24.

Despatches from Constantittoplo, of July It, announce
that M. Tho I, the Franch ambassador, arrived then
on the 17th.

Omer Packs arrived at Constantinople on the 18th. It
was generally thought that he was about to resign his poet
of Commander-in• Chief of the Turkish army.
Reinfureements to the army of Asia were still being sent
from Constantinople.

The Menitsur, in reference to the article on the
results of free trade in England, which I noticed
yesterday, says that some persons observing the
words "Ministry of Commerce" at the foot of the
article, had supposed it to be a document furnished
by the French " Administration," and explains that
the paper comes from the Board of Trade, and that
the French "Administration" had nothing to do
with it. This explanation in no way diminishes the
importance to be attached to the iusertion of the
paper in the leading columns of the Neal/ear.
It is obvious, on the most cursory perusal,
that the statistics cited were prepared in England,
and it was a mere mistake to represent them as
emanating from the Ministry of Commerce, no such
ministry existing in that country. But although the
French administration is a stranger to the composi-
tion of the arguments to whick the Moniteur gives
circulation, it is clear that the French government
desires to inoculate the public mind with them. The
Mats and the Preen both understand the publica-
tion in this aense, and reproduce the entire ar-
ticle u a document of the highest importance.
The Constttutionnel, which cannot shake off the
old protectionist leaven, maintainsa significant silence
on the subject, but it will no doubt to-morrow cite,
with great glee, the note in to-day's Moniteur, in the
hope that it may be understood as a repudiation of
the doctrines of the Board of Trade. It is to be
remarked that the paper in question is signed E. A. 8.,
initials which may very likely be known to you.
More political arrests have been made at Nantes.
Five or six persons were taken to prison on Saturday
last. With few exceptions, those hitherto arrested
belong to the working class.
I hear it said that the Emperor leaves Paris to-
morrow for Biarritz, to spend a few days with the
Empress.
The Rents fell at the Bourse to-day, in consequence
of sales by capitalists, who now feel persuaded that
they will be able to invest in the loan, in consequence
of the measures taken to avoid abuses of the privilege
accorded to subscribers for 50fr. Rents and under.
The Three per Cents. fell 35c., closing at 66fr. sc.
Railway. 101 l a little, in sympathy with the Rente,
bat Lyons and Mediterranean rose 15fr.
