THE PRESS.

THE GREEK INSURRECTION.
A telegraphic despatch, dated Vienna, Thursday
evening, says :
" Despatches brought by Turkish and English messen-
gers, who arrived here to-day from Constantinople, are said
to contain the notification of an insurrection in Western
Turkey, with the cause of the same, and the draught of
a convention fur securing the future position of the
Christians in Turkey. The Oest. Correspondent states
that fortifications are to be formed at Gallipoli, under the
superintendence of English engineers. The citadel of
Arta has a garrison of 2,000 Albanians, with provisions
and ammunition in plenty. Strong reinforcements are
arriviving at Epirus. 5,000 men under Z.mel Pacha will
enter Albania. Seven steamers have gone to Egypt to
fetch 10,000 fresh troops for Albania. An English steamer
has gone to Prevesa, and a French one to Volo. A French
and an English schooner were in the Piraeus. The Wasp
has followed the other two steamers from Corfu, and the
frigate has gone to Prevesa."

It is said that, should circumstances require it, the
French force for the East will exceed 100,000. The
first corps, that is, the one intended to be first on the
ground at the opening of the campaign, will be from
48,000 to 50,000 men, with successive reserves, which
will complete the amount mentioned.
The French Senate met on Thursday, and dis-
cussed the report on the loan of 250 millions, which
was voted without the least hesitation.
Advises from various parts of Germany state that
the speech of the French Emperor on the opening of
the Chambers bad produced the most favourable
effect, more especially that portion of it in which he
emphatically disavows all intention of aggression
upon neighbouring countries.

An extraordinary supplement of the Journal
de St. Petersbourg of the 3rd contains an exposition
of the progress of the Oriental dispute, and the con-
duct of the Western powers. This document extends
to the length of three folio pages, and a clever piece
of special pleading. It contains also the Russian
answers to the circulars of the French Cabinet.
The Sardinian Minister of Finance has presented
to the Chamber the budget of 1855. He proposes a
loan of 35,000,000.

The English Government has sent instructions to
its agents in Hamburg to charter and send back to
England all British steamers which may be dispos-
able in that port, for the purpose of transporting
troops and ammunition to the Baltic.

HER MAJESTY, Prince Albert, the Prince of \Vales,
the Princess Royal, the Princess Mary, and Prince
Alfred, accompanied by Earl Mulgrave, Lord Ernest
Bruce, Lord Waterpark, Colonel Grey, Captain the
Hon. De Ros, Viscounte-s Jocelyn, Lady Frances
Bruce, Lady Fanny Howard, and the Hon. Matilda
Paget, left Buckingham Palace yesterday morning for
the South-Western Railway, en route for Spithead.
The royal party and suite occupied four carriages,
and was attended by a company of lancers. Upon
arriving at the new statien in the Wandsworth-road,
the Queen was received by Sir W. lleathcote, M.P.,
the chairman of the line, and the other officials. Mr.
Lock, M.P., the engineer, having examined the
engine which was attached to the royal carriages,
and a telegraphic message been passed to keep the
line clear, the train proceeded on its way at a quarter
to eleven o'clock.

Frutat Brrimit, so long distinguished and exemplary
as a jockey, is dangerously ill, and it is stated that
under no circumstances will helever again appear as a
public rider.

SATURDAY,

RUSSIAN OFFICERS IN AMERICA..

THE New York Courrier des Etats Unig of the 18th
ult. states that there were several Russian officers in
different parts of the United States endeavouring to
engage vessels and enliit men for privateering pur-
poses; and on the 21st the New York Herald pub-
lished the following on the same suhject

" The Russian officers who are here now came over for
the ostensible purpose of superintending the construction
of the screw-propellers ordered by the Emperor of Mr.
Webb, one of our most eminent shipbuilders, during a re-
cent visit paid by the latter to St. Petersburg. There is
reason to believe, however, that that object forms only one,
and that the most unimportant, part of the mission of these
gentlemen, for facts have come to our knowledge which
leave no doubt upon our minds that they are sent here to
effect the organisation necessary for fitting out Russian
privateers in our ports. There were three of those officers
at the Astor-house—namely, Messrs. Grumwald, Ferstine,
- -
and

.o 1 Lockoloff—and three at the Clarendon, and other ho-
tels, and they have sub-agents scattered through this and
other cities of the Union, busily engaged in endeavouring
to carry out the objects of their instructions "
The Boston Commonwealth of the 22nd says :
" Several Russian officers visited the Portsmouth (Vir-
ginia navy-yard, and the United States ship Pennsylvania,
on Wednesday, the 15th inst., and were received with the
usual honours and a salute. The object of their visit to
this country is to examine our ships and to purchase vessels
for their navy."
