THE MEDITERRANEAN.

MARSEILLES, Aug. 14 —The mail steamer Indus,
which sailed from ConStantinople the 6ih instant,
arrived at 10 this morning. She brought Generals
Canrobert and Saucier, and 200 invalids from the
Crimea. Some of them were badly wound-d, and
were conveyed to the military hospital on stretchers.
General Canrobert remained in his private cal-iin
until the few persons who assembled to see the pas-
sengers land had dispersed. He then stepped ashore,
the Indus having beeu moored to the quay. Having
declined all military honours, he drove to the
Hotel des Empereurs, where he breakfasted in the
public coffee-room. He appeared cheerful, and
in much better health than one might expect from
his loikg 'stay in the Crimea and his severe winter
campaign. He sailed from Marseilles for Constan-
tinople in March, 1854.

Nittnerous detachments of troops continues
arrive daily ; among them 300 of the 3d Regiment
of engineers, and 150 of the 2d of the same arm—
two detachments of the 35th, 53d, and Glst in-
fantry. The "detachment of the 53d, 400 strong,
arrived-from Auxerre, in Burgundy. They are to
be incorporated with the 19th, in the Crimea.

GREECE.

The Trieste Gazette of the 9th says :—" The
reason why the Greek Minister Kalergi has fallen
into disgrace and received the order not again to
appear at Court is, that in a letter from him, pul-
li-thed in a newspaper, be expressed himself in such
terms that a sovereign could not accept them frou
a subject. After the publication of this letter tht
Ambassadors of Austria, Prussia, and Bavari,
went in a body to the President of the Council,
and gave him to understand that if M. Kalergi re-
mained in the Ministry they would be obliged to
interrupt their official relations witk the Greek
Government. M. Mavrocordato, it is said,
shrugged up his shoulders, and observed that M.
Kalergi's behaviour was unseemly. The Ambas-
sador of Austria interrupted him, saying that
he used too mild a term, and that the proper
word was impudent. The Bavarian Ambassador
declared that if Kalergi were not removed from
the Ministry he would feel it his duty, as
the representative of the House of Wittelsbach,
to demand satisfaction for an offence to a mem-
ber of that house. A steamer was immediately
despatched to Stylida for the Ambassador of
France, who was in the province cf Phthyotis.
The King sent word to M. Mavrocordato that M. '
Kalergi would not in future be allowed to cross
the• threshold of the palace, and that the porters
had received orders to that effect."

adopted the resolution to take part in the war

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 12.—The Danish Chambers
assembled yesterday at noon, in the Palace of
Christiansborg, according to the Royal summons.
They are called together in an extraordinary ses-
sion, for a special purpose, to consent to the pro-
poeal of the Crown to modify the Fundamental
Law or Constitution of the Monarchy, of the 51. h of
June, 1849, and to decide whether such modifica-
tions shall come into legal operation at the same
time as the Ministerial plan of a form of Govern-
ment for the "whole kingdom."
There was a full attendance of members, and
the portion of the ball allotted to the public was
crowded. The proceedings, however, were merely
formal. At 1 o'clock the Ministers entered the
hail in full State uniform, and, having taken their
places in front of the Throne, the Premier, M.
Bang, read the Royal rescript by which the Legis-
lature was summoned. It was a brief document,
stating the purpose for which the extraordinary
session is held as above given, and authorising the
Minister to 'open it in the Royal name. Nine hearty
cheers were then given by the members for the
King, and three more- for the " Constitution."
The Second Chamber then proceeded to the preli-
minary business of choosing a president, vice-pre-
sidents, secretary, &c., and examining the validity
of the several elections, dividing itself into four
bureaux for that purpose. M. Rotwitt was elected
president for a month, and M. Monrad (by whom
the present constitution was drawn up) and M.
Brober, vice-presidents. In this last election 82
votes were given, of which M. Monrad received
78, _.M..__Broberg. 42, --M. Schovelin 32, and M.
Tscherninglo.

A letter from Vienna, in the Post Ampt Gazette,
says :—" In consequence of the acts of brigandage
which have been renewed on the frontier of Monte-
negro, the Austrian Government has charged Ge-
neral Mamula to signify to Prince Danilo that the
very first time that similar acts are repeated, Aus-
tria will seriously interfere. The general was to
make known to the Prince that Austria was desir-
ous for the prosperity of Montenegro„ but that she
could not see with indifference the k vessant re-
newal of those scenes of misconduct."

A letter.from Rassowa states that the English
were displaying great activity in the construction
of a military road from that place to Kusteadje.
It was thought that the establi,hment of this road
fir:holed eanipaign of the allies on the Danube.

GUILDHALL.

EMBEZZLEMENT.—An elderly man, named Thomas
Ings, was charged before Sir Chapman Marshall with
embezzlement. The prisoner was employed by Mr.
Waghorn, butcher, to collect his accounts, but, having
some suipicion that be was not acting right, he made
inquiries, and found be had received certain sums of
money which he had not accounted for. He had also
obtained money from the prosecutor to take out county-
court summonses against some of his creditors, but, in.
stead of doing so, appropriated the money to his own
Fccount. Some legal difficulties arising as to the
charge, the prisoner was. discharged on his own
recognizance' till Wednesday, to allow the oppor-
tunity of repaying the money. A poor woman
who was in court also complained of the prisoner having
treated her in a similar manner. •

Sir C. Marshall said he was afraid the prisoner was a
very bad man.

ROBBERY.—George TVilson was charged with stealing
about 40 yards of silk, value 3/. 35., the property of
Messrs. Ellis, Eveningham, and Co., silk and shawl
dealers, Ludgate-hill.

Mr. Humphreys appeared for the proseauti3n.

It appeared the prisoner was seen yesterday afternoon
to take the silk from a counter inside the warehouse
door, put it under his coat, and run off. He
was followed by one of the assistants, who called
after him, and saw him drop the silk in Dean-
court. Instead of stopping to pink up the silk he
continued his pursuit, and caught him at the bottom of
St. Andrew-lane. He collared him, brought him back
to the warehouse, and gave him in charge of police
constable 378. The silk was picked up by a porter in
the employ of Mr. Smith, wine-merchant.
The prisoner, who said he did it for want, was com-
mitted.
