AUSTRIA.

The Brussels ludependance has intelligence from
Vienna that the reduction in the Austrian army will
be of 140,000, and not of 100,000 men, as originally
announced. The regiments in Styria have already
returned a large number of men to civil &nil a on
long but revocable leave. The furloughs are to
commence in the third and fourth army corps,
stationed in Gallicia, in than rst kof July. y

THE RESULTS OF THE
INQUIRY.

THE Report of the Sebastopol Committee is a com-
promise. To a certain extent the tactics of Govern.
ment, in packing it with a number of their partisans,
has proved successful. The independent members
have been obliged to admit into the Report palliative
episodical discussions, and to adopt the most dulcet
epithets whenever they express blame, in order to
secure the assent of the ELLICES and SEYMOURS to
any Report at all. Hence the document is enfeebled
by its prolixity and timid phraseology. Still
it is only to a certain extent that Govern-
ment have been successful in emasculating
the Report. The case was so very bad,
that even the creatures of Government, who were
placed on the Committee to parry any decided con-
demnation of the late or present Administration, have
been compelled to put their hands to a withering
censure of both. The very cursory perusal we have
been able to give the document precludes our dealing
at present with its details. We can only state, as
we have now done, the general impression it has left
on our mind. We reserve for future opportunities
comment upon the manner in which it deals with
individuals and their conduct. But we lose not a
moment in indicating its bearing on the paramount
question of the day—the question of Administrati,
Reform.

THE IMPERIAL GUARDS IN THE CRIMEA.

KAILIESCH BAY, BAT 27.
On the arrival of the French Imperial Guards in
the Crimea, they were considered as a sort of privi-
leged corps, and consequentlnot y required to do
duty in the trenches before Sebastopol. This did not
fail to give rise to some feelings of jealousy amongst
the rest of the army, and one night • witty Zouave
wrote on the tents of the Guards the following
words :—" La Garde de Meure iei, ,nail se se rend
\jous
_aux trout/sees !" (The Guards live here, but
*met go to the trenches.) This cans allusion to
tha pond motto of the tormees I:spinal Guards--
" Garde Meurt,mais no se rend pas° (the Guards
die, but never sturender)--eo wounded the feelings
of their present. successors, that they petitioned
General Canrebgrt to eaempt them from their privt

gallant candoot in the. 'sangermary.night. attack,. au

terated the envy and jealousy previously entertained
against them by the other carps of the French army.

RUSSIA.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jou 10.
The Russian garrison of the distant province of
Kamtschatka is usually relieved every Eve years.
The troops at present on duty there were sent out in
the year 1860 by the circuitous, bat still more com-
modious route of half circumnavigating the globe, in
ships of war. In the ordinary routine of the service,
' the garrison ought to be changed in the course of this
summer, but as in consequence of the war, and the
voluntary surrender of the Russians to a participation
in the free navigation of the ocean, they arannable to
; send fresh troops to relieve the garrison this year by
sea, u hitherto done, orders have been given to the
regiments now stationed at Irkutzk, and other garri-
sons on the Lake of Baikal, in Siberia, down to the
rontiersof China, to change stations with those now

in Kamtschatka.
General Muravieff, the Commander-in-Chief of the
Russian army in Armenia, has received orders to take
the field and commence offensive operations. This
officer is one of the most experienced and energetic
generals in the Russian service, and Is not only inti-
mately acquainted with the local topography, but
well versed in all the details of war, having had
\ great experience. and taken part, amongst others, is
the campaigns of 1828 and 1829.
The only son of the venerable Field-Marshal
Prince Paskiewitseb, hitherto colonel in the Guards
! and aide-de-camp of the Emperor, has been promoted
to the rank of major-general, and appointed to the
command of the first brigade of the cavalry of the

guard.
His Imperial Highnees the Grand Duke Nicholas
Nieholaijewitch, brother of the Emperor, is ap-
pointed to the command of the corps of engineers in
Poland, and has left this city for Warsaw, where he
will take up his head quartere. It is said that the
palace of B-le.dere, formerly inhabited by his uncle,
the Grand Duke Constantine, and spoliated by the
infuriated mob in 1530, is to be fitted up for Lie re-

caption.
It is now settled that the Russian land forces are
to be divided into three armies, to be called respec-
tively the army of the north (head-quarters St.
Petersburg), the army of the south <now operating in
the Crimea), and the army of the centre (head-
quarters Warsaw).
The militia in the government of Charkow and
adjacent provinces musters already 200,00 t) men. It
was at first expected that Prince Paskiewitech would
have inspected them during his late tour of in.ptc-
don to Brz.sicz, Littffsky, and Lusk in Volhynta, hut
it now appears that he will first give them a little
more time to learn their military duties.
The Grand Duke Constantine appears to find the
duties of the naval department too arduous for him,
i and at his request the Emperor has appointed a
minister of marine in the person of Vice-Admiral
7 Baron Wrangel.

CASE OF CHILD STARVING.

LIVIIRPOOL, BwrunDxv.
A dreadful ease of this nature hu just been made
knorn to the authorities. The parties implicated are •
man named Aspinall and hie wife, residing in Lawton-•treat.
Aspinall is a clerk in one ef the Liverpool departments of
the London sad North Western Railway. It appear that
up to within a period of three yeah past they had behaved
kindly to their children, nine in number; but latterly they
have dissipated their mums in habits of intoxication, and
refused the chilaren food. One of the public offline' co
Friday went to the house of the parties, and was horror-
stricken at what he witnessed. There was scarcely any
(orbit ,re in the room in which the children wire, and along-
side the grata he saw something crouched near the wall,
and on approaching it be found it was a child about four
years old, in a 'taus of nudity, and gathered up like a dog.
Its hip bones were nearly protruding from the skin. It
could neither walk nor stand. A child fifteen months
old was also is a most emaciated condition and
dying, while a third was likewise in a state of
nudity. The eldest daughter stated that the youngest
child, which was then dead, was required to be
washed about then weeks ago, but the mother would not
perform that duty, but requested one of the children to
pump water on is, which ens did, until it was cleaned.
This was of frequent communes, and the result was that
the child took cold, end raving no food, became debilitated
and died. The other child is not exound to live. An
inquest wu held this afternoon, and Dr. Kemp gave it as
his opinion that the child died from gross neglect and
constant want of food. He added that he saw a
child so emaciated, the bones actually being all but
through the skin. The man and wife inculpated each
other as to their drunken habits and constant neglect of
the children. The jury, however, returned a verdict of
*. Wilful Murder" against bath pasties, and steps were
taken to provide properly for the other children.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.
The Royal Mail steam-ship Asia, Captain Nott,
arrived this evening, from Boston and Halifax, with
dates to the 16th and 16th inst., 182 passengers, and
825,176 dole. in specie. Amongst the passengers was
His Excellency Senor des Caste.
The Massachusetts Kcow-Nothings have held a
State Council, discarded the principles upon which
the order in that state was originally based, and gone
over to the abolitionists. Their platform is as
follows :
A 21 years' naturalisation law. Stringent penalties evilest
the fraudulent transfer of naturalisation papers. Opposition
to all foreign military or political organisations. Eincient laws
against the deportation hers of foreign criminals and
paupers. None but natives as our ministers abroad. Free
religion, and war against the Pope, his hierarchy, and hie
church. The Bible as the basis of all popular education.
On the slavery question they say :
That all legislation must be conducted upon the doctrine
that freedom is national and slavery sectional. That the
federal government mutt be relieved of all connexion with,
or accountability for, American slavery. That state
sovereignty, in its legislation and judiciary, must be held
inviolate. That the Missouri line must be restored, and so
part of that ' ry that was toads free by said line shall
be admitted as a slave state. Viet squatters' rights meet be
protected, in the fres and uadisturbed exercise of t►e
elective franchise.
The steam-chip Empire City arrived at New York
on the 11th, with the California mails to the 16th
ult., a full complement of passengers, and nearly a
million in treasure. Her advices were anticipated by
the Northern Light, which arrived on the sth inst.
By this arrival we have later advice' from the South
Pacific. From Chili there is nothing of general in-
terest. Congress was engaged in discussing internal
improvement bills. In Bolivia the public wind was
occupied with the approaching election for President.
Dr. Lenares was regarded as the popular candidate.
There is nothing of importance from Pero, and the
gold fever seems to have entirely died out. The
affairs between Brazil and Paraguay remained unad-
justed, and it was impossible to conjecture what course
events would take. _ _

De Ba►, at Mil winkle, Wisconsin, had been lynched
on account of his atrocious murder of the Muchr
family. The mob overpowered the military and
officers, seized the prisoner, knocked him senseless by
striking him on the head with a stone, beat him with
clubs, jumped on him, and finally hung him up by
the heels to a tree, where he was suffered to remain
for hours after life was entirely extinct.
Dates from Bermuda to the Ist August had been
received. The Presbyterian Ministers' Salary Bill
was ordered to a third reading in the Assembly. An
additional police force was about to be raised in
Hamilton.
Yellow fever was still prevailing.

TRIPOLL

The following is an extract from a letter, dated
Tripoli, August 15, 1855:
" Goama, after his escape from Trebirmd, where
he had been confined as a political prisoner, returned
to his native mountains of D'Jebe:, celled there
by motives of personal revenge, to displace from the
government his cousin who, during his absence, had
ravished and taken into his harem his wife and
daughter. Goma on his arrival demanded that
these should be restored to him, that his cousin
should be displaced, and himself reinstated, offer-
ing to pay a tribute of double the amount of that
already exacted.
" This demand was refused. The Arabs impressed
with his wrongs, quickly flew to his standard, who
had led them in former year,. He at once took the
field, when he was met by an army of 15,000 men,
led by Sien Bey. whom he completely defeated.
The carnage would have been terrific but that Gonna,
notwithstanding a bullet he had received in his arm,

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(7110 M OVII oww 001111SPONDINT).
PARIS, EICINDLY ETINIWO.

The Queen is enjoying her "repose" at St. Claud,
and never was rat more richly earned by prevenient
labour. Such a hard week's work her Majesty cer-
tainly never went through before, and it must be
borne in mind that the heat of this climate in the
dog days is something quite new to her. Her strength
and spirits are wonderful. She stayed at the ball last
night, as you are doubtless already informed, till two
o'clock in the morning, and then went home to Bt.
Cloud. All Paris is somnolent to-day, and with the
exception of the Emperor's letter in the .2ifoniteur,
which you will have received by express, there is no
political news stirring.

The Presto says that " the Queen, faithful to the
religions observance of Sunday, left the ball before
midnight, according to the etiquette of the Court of
London." This paragraph is one of many instance.
that have occurred during the present week of the
inconvenience attending the system of writing ac-
counts of public ceremonies beforehand. It was
thought in Paris yesterday that the Queen would
leave the ball before 12, bull can affirm to you from
ocular densonstratiou that it was very hard upon 2
o'clock when her carriage left the palace-gates.
A Constantinople letter of the 16th, in the Petrie,
sus the Ottoman Government received intelligence
from Asia on the 14th. It is generally supposed
that the news is bad, because before communicating
the contents of the despatches to the French and
English Ambassadors, as it it customary to do, an
extraordinary council was held, which Omer Pacha
was called upon to attend. Nothing that passed at
the council transpired, but the Greeks circulate a
rumour that the Russians had entered Erueroum, and
that Kars was on the point of surrendering.
A. Constantinople letter in the Prow says:

Omer Pasha is still here, and very thick with the English
ambassador. It is to this intimacy that must be attributed
the minus rumour which has been circulating since yester-
day, that the generalissimo is about to become a protestant.
There has been extraordinary activity in the retuil
commerce of Paris during the week. Certain jewellers
are cited as having sold more within the last month
than they did during the whole year 1854. It is
difficult in many trades to find workmen to execute
orders. But, while the home consumption of all
kinds of merchandise has been so great that stocks are
low in many shops, exportation is and long has been
almost at a stand-still.

"In the course of last night we carried an ambus-

PARIS, FA c DAY.

The Government has received the following de.
•patch from General PClimier, dated last evening
I(the 16th):—

"For some days past rumours of intended attacks
on the part of the Russians had excited our attention.

"They realised their project this morning at day-
break against our lines on the Tchernaya; but is
spite of the imposing masses which had been col-
lected during the night, the enemy was repulsed with
great vigour by the troops of the Divisions of Gene-
rals Herbillon, Demme, Panchen:, and Morriss.
" The Sardinians, posted on the right, fought
bravely.

"The principal effort was directed against the
bridge of the Tracktar.

" The Russians left numerous dead on the field,

and we made many prisoners.
"They were in complete retreat on Mackenzie's
Farm at the moment when our reserve came up, u
well as that of our brave allies, particularly the Eng-

"Our watch-word was ' King and Country.'

DENMARK.

A letter from Copenhagen of the 11th, io the Cologne
Gazette, gives the following details of the opening ot
the Danish Diet, already mentioned :—" M. Bang, the
President ot the Council, accompanied by all his col-
leagues, went to-day to the Chamber of the Volks-
thins, and read a letter patent from the King de-
claring the session open, which was answered by
three times three hurrahs from the deputies. The
old
.priest Lindberg, who is the strongest opposi-
tionut in the Diet, called out in & stentorian voice
that a cheer should also be given for the constitution
and the electoral law. This proposition was responded
to by another round of three times three. The elec-
tion of the president was then proceeded to, and M.
Rottiviss, the old president, unanimously chosen."

A letter from Vienna, in the Post Ampt Gazette,
nays:—"h consequence of the acts of brigandage
which have been renewed on the frontier of Monte-
negro, the Austrian government has charged General
Mamala to signify to Prince Danilo that the very
first time that similar acts are repeated, Austria will
seriously interfere. The general was to make known
to the prime that Austria was desirous for the pros-
perity of Montenegro, but that she could not see with
iadiSwenoe the incessant renewal of throe some of
saisoontlaot."

TELUIES.
The unusual severity of the winter, and the almost total
suspension of the humus of the Port of London within the
last few days, has been productive of much suffering among
the dock labourers, coal whippers, and others. The water-
men end lightermen of the river l'hamee—a valuable class.
who assisted in manning the fleet clueing the long war, and
who have on many occasions rendered good wavier to the
state—have also been great sufferers by the inclemency of
the weather, and the want of employment. The magis-
trates of this court have done all in their power to mitigate
the privations of the poor by means of the funds placed at
their disposal by the benevolent, through the agency of their
own °facers, the district clergy, and others; but not one in
a husidred has been effectually relieved. In the course of
the last fortnight the applications for relief have been so
numerous as to seriously interfere with the legitimate besi-
de* of the court. The recitals have been truly painful ;
families who had sold all they possessed, starving ; others
laid down with fever ; many, whose goods had been seised,
dwelling in empty rooms; and, in tact, poverty in every
possible shape.

HAMBURG.

(1110/1 TIE 001228PONDINT OF TRII DULY WIWI.)
HAMBURG, Fan. 12.
The decision of the Frankfort Diet for Ifriegsb&
reitscha4, or preparation for war, has caused a plink
in our nate, as every member is quite aware that
in the completely neglected state of our troops it is
morally, and physically impossible to comply with
the order. Accordiag to the original Act of Con.
federation (Bth June, 1815), the amount of Haw
burg's contingent was fixed at 1,298 men, which
has been subsequently raised to about 1,800, in
consequence of the increase in the population ;
but it is a well known fact that the troops
never reached the original minimum num-
ber, and were kept up more for show than
for real use, and now that their servicea are required
the cue comes out. They are deficient in training
(the greater part of them being raw recruits); they
have not a musket that is fit for the purposes of war,
having been bought in a lump of an exporter, who
was shipping a quantity on speculation to South
America (a most shameless job, and only hashed up
because the merchant had friends and relations in
the Senate); there are no cartridges, no field cooking
apparatus, no baggage waggons, no surgeons, no
ambulance, no stores of medwines, no tents, no wag.
goo horses. This comes of tho beautiful system of
making " his magnificence" the senior Burgernwiatee
generalissimo and head of the forces!
But now that the Senate has got into a mew, and
is unable to fulfil its federal engagements to the
rest of Germany, the difficulty is how to get oat,
And here again we have to deplore the lamentable
want of capacity and energy to be found amongst
the combined wisdom of our many-headed State, foe
there is nobody able to make even a proposal on
the subject. Under these circumstances it will not
be wondered at that the foreign syndicus, or seers.
tary, has thrown himself unconditionally into the
arms of Austria, praying Count von Menshagen, the
envoy here, to dictate any stipulation he may please,l
and to excuse Hamburg at Vienna for not complying
with the order.

When one considers that Hamburg bas hitherto
looked for support in all such conflicts to Prussia, it
may be the wisest thing it could have done to desert
her now and join Austria; for the latter being the
sincere ally of England, it may save its commerce
from receiving a very severe check, should the
blockade of the Elbe in the spring be really executed,
as is threatened by England, and for which some
preparatory steps have already been taken at Heft•
goland.
The news of the royal proclamation has created a
panic on the Exchange, and many holders of Russian
produce were glad to realise their stocks at any price.
