The King of Sardinia arrived at Tortona on the
15th, after having witnessed the military ma-
noeuvres executed in the vicinity of that town under
the command of the Duke of Genoa. His Majesty
was received with loud acclamations by the inha-
bitants.
Chevalier de Burger, the new Imperial Lieute-
nant of Lombardy, arrived at Milan on the 13th.
The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa of the 14th
announces the arrest of a priest of that town, named
Maineri. The police also searched his lodgings very
minutely.
A letter from Rome of August 31, in the Augs-
burg Gazette, says :—" It is officially confirmed that
thu Governor of Tend has been the victim of popu-
lar fury. The increasing dearness of bread has
produced great uneasiness in the town. Four per-
sons seized on the Governor and threw him from
a window into the street, where the people mal-
treated him by stuffing his mouth with straw. He
died in consequence of the ill treatment which he
received. Eight carbineers who hastened to his
assistance were obliged to fly from the crowd. A
company and a half of infantry have been sent from
Rome to Terui to re-establish tranquillity."

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
The following is one among many of the placards
stuck up in all parts of Constantinople :
" 0 most powerful Padishah, for the love of your
"gust person, all your subjects are ready to sacrifice
their lives, their property, and their families ; but it is
'cur duty to draw from the scabbard the sword of the
victorious Mahomet, which you put on in the mosque of
'Youb Ansari, in imitation of your illustrious ancestors
id predecessors. Your ministers display hesitation,
because they are dominated by the passion for plea-
urea, and the desire not to be deprived of them, A great
danger menaces us. In such a state of things, may God
Preserve us all ! Your victorious army and all the nation
demand absolutely to combat for the defence of your in-
contestable rights. 0 Padishah ! open your ears and
listen to the voice of your children H !' "
Eyoub Ansari is an illustrious personage in Mus-
!Allman history. A contemporary of Mahomet, he
Powerfully aided in the propagation of Islamism,
and was killed in the first expedition of the Mus-
sillmans against the Greek empire.
, The news received from the camp of Schumla are
(0 the effect that the soldiers were animated with
the most warlike spirit, but that unfortunately good
°facers were wanting. At Schumla the artillery
Well horsed consisted of 250 pieces, without count-.
ing those of the other camps and the forts.
The Constantinople correspondent of the Con-
stitutionnel says—,, The Porte either from convic-
tion or neces ity is irrevocably fixed in its resolu-
tion to maintain its modifications, whatever may
happen, and not in any way to go beyond the limit
of the concessions which it has only made out of
deference to its august allies." He adds that—
"ln the present state of things, it would be im-
Possible for the Porte to go farther than it has
already done. The excitement of the people goes
on increasing, and it has arrived at that point, that
the slightest hesitation on the part of the Ministers
would place the throne of the Sultan and public
security in the greatest danger. Numerous pla-
cards are every night posted up in the streets of
Constantinople. In one of
h
amongst other things, that at voicethteemit
of is said,
amongstthe saisove-
reign, the soldiers of the redif have quitted their
families and their fields at the moment of the har-
vest, and that they will not return to their homes
without having fought to revenge the insults
offered to their country. The Egyptians, on their
side, who leave for the camp of Omer Pacha, de-
clared to the Sultan, during the fête which he gave
to their officers, that they had come to fight, and
that they would not return to Egypt until they
had done so. The exasperation of the country
against Russia shows itself in every way, without
their appearing any means of appeasing it except
by war. The Ministers themselves are convinced
of it, and although well aware of the weakness of
Turkey, which would not allow her to carry on
successfully a struggle with Russia for any length
of time, have now decided on incurring the chances
of it, hoping that Europe, which has encouraged
them in their resistance, will not abandon the
Porte."
The Journal de Constantinople of the 4th con-
tains the following, in reference to the relations
between the Porte and the hospodars
"In reply to the recal sent them, the princes stated
to the Sublime Porte that the divans ad hoc having sup-
plicated them not to depart from the principalities, in
the interest of the country, they would remain at their
Post until the imperial government had come to a deci•
!ion concerning the situation which they submitted to
being ready, however, to conform to that decision,
Whatever it might be, as soon as it should be notified to
them. On Sunday last the council of ministers delibe-
rated on the reply of the princes, and after having taken
the orders of the Sultan, decided that the imperial go-
11..ernment, full of solicitude for the principalities, and
taking into consideration the reasons laid before it, con-
sented not to insist on the order of recal given to the
princes, provided they were completely free to perform
the ribute of these provinces. If not, the imperial go-
''ernment would take such measures as should appear to
.
suitable to protect its right and its dignity. This de-
elsino, marked with the impress of great wisdom, was
dispatched on Tuesday to Bucharest and Jassy by the
Galatz steamer, and we have no doubt that, through
gratitude, the princes will do all they can to conform to
It scrupulously."
Several boyards have been arrested at Galatz, in
hating been found in their houses. Amongst them
7ere copies of letters to Omer Pacha, informing .
of the minutest details on the state of the
Russian army in the principalities ; and one from
Amer Pacha, directing them to enrol as many
foreigners as possible, as he hoped soon to be able
to Second them openly."
A letter from Bucharest of the sth says :—" Ac-
Cording to all the indications received up to this
•311otoent, it appears certain that the Russians are
to
aking preparations to pass the winter in the
~t'Llncipalities. The troops will not leave before
next spring. In Bulgaria the Turks can no longer
encamp in the open air, for the winter has already
arrived., In three weeks the Russians will be
obliged to change their tents for barracks."
The Peg Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, under
Zite of Vienna 15th, says :—" In rejecting the
7:,°,chfications introduced by the Divan in the pro-
-Ilie' of Austrian mediation, the Cabinet of St.
etersburgh formally declared that the army of
vectiPation in the principalities would retire on the
oel'Y day that the acceptance by the Ottoman Porte
f
he non-modified note should be received."
General Prim has departed for Schumla. He
Was
b accompanied by the officers of his mission, and
his mihmanda Savfet Effendi, one of the profes-
sors of the Polytechnic School. Before leaving he
4111 a visit to Mehemet Ali Pacha, Minister of War,
km au escort of twelve horsemen was granted. to

The Jewish community of Constantinople has

Zifontribution to the expenses occasioned by the

to offer a sum for the same purpose.
The Journal de Constantinople gives the follow-
i.g account of a review of the Egyptian troops by
he Sultan on the 20th ult. :
" On Tuesday last his Imperial Majesty the Sultan

LONDON, TVESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1853.

HER MAJESTY'S FLEET AT
QUEENSTOWN.

The arrival of upwards of twenty vessels of the
royal navy in the somewhat secluded naval station
• of Queenstown has made a great excitement among
.the inhabitants. Such a spectacle was never be-
fore -witnessed by the present generation.
Queenstown has long been known as a naval
station, and seems, indeed, to have been fashioned
by the hand of nature expressly for the purpose.
Here the river Lee, just before mingling its waters
with the ocean, broadens out into.a wide and ample
estuary, deeply indenting the land towards the
south, where, however, finding no outlet through
the high and rocky barrier that intervenes, it turns
northward again, and at last finds a narrow channel
seaward through a gap in the hills to the west.
The result of this configuration is, that the
estuary is land-locked in the ample embrace of high
ground on all sides, except at the entrance to the
westward, which is not more than a mile and a
quarter across, from point to point, at the narrowest
part of it, while, as if to complete the security of
the shelter, Spike Island lies opposite to, and not
more than a mile from, the narrows, acting as a
natural breakwater against any sea that a west or
south-west wind might send through the mouth of
the harbour. It must not be forgotten that the
entrance is as easy as the harbour is secure. There
are no shoals nor sunken rocks in the way; and the
largest vessel in the British navy, entering at all
times of the tide, may be certain of finding secure
anchorage within.
While nature has been thus bountiful to the
place, in protecting it against the war of the ele-
ments, the resources of art have not been neglected
to seal it against the hostile approach of the fo-
reigner. As already mentioned, the width of the
channel at the narrowest point is only a mile and
a quarter. At that part two batteries have been
erected, nearly opposite to each other, Fort Cam-
den and Fort Caroline, each mounted with upwards
of 30 heavy guns ; while a third battery is also
erected on the seaward side of Spike Island. So

have come down ; and the river steamers which I
are plying round the harbour and making the tour
of the fleet are crowded, deck and paddle-boxes,
with passengers. The boatmen, too, are driving
quite a brisk trade, in taking parties of ladies and
gentlemen off to the ships, which, through the
courtesy of the officers, are open for general in-
spection.
The Duke of Wellington is the favourite vessel
selected for inspection, upwards of 200 boats, all
crowded with passengers, having been alongside of
her at one time in the course of the day. A great
many of the officers and men of the fleet are also
ashore, so that the little town is quite alive with
bustle and animation.

Up to five o'clock on Sunday there was no ap-
pearance of the other vessels of the squadron. It
is still uncertain when Sir James Graham and his
colleagues will be here ; some say his visit will be
postponed till Tuesday (this day).

that, supposing a hostile fleet to be rash enough to
attempt the passage, they would be exposed to the
destructive fire of two forts on each flank ; while

the guns from Spike Island would pound them in
front. It may safely be said that the defences of
Queenstown are complete.
The people are dissatisfied with the compara-
tively small use to which the Government of the
country have hitherto turned this magnificent har-
bour. Lying out of the usual track which our
ships of war traverse, it has not been frequented
by them with that frequency, or iu those numbers,
that the security of its roadstead might be sup-
posed to invite. But now that the great question
of a western packet station has sprung up, and in-
creases in importance every day, the inhabitants
are making a vigorous effort to secure the prefer-
ence of the authorities for this port, and they are
not without hope that the expected visit of the
Lords of the Admiralty has reference to this
very question ; or, at least, that when they
come here and examine, with their own eyes,
the splendid natural capabilities of the port,
they will be impressed with a due sense of its
value, and of the necessity of conferring upon
Queenstown the boon which they so anxiously
desire—that of being the point of departure
for the mail packets to America. It is well known
that the contest has hitherto been between Queens-
town and Galway. But the people here say that
though Galway is some seventy or eighty miles
more to the westward, and by that distance, there-
fore, the nearer to the western shores of the At-
lantic, yet that advantage is much more than
counterbalanced by the inconveniences attending
the approach to Galway Harbour, which, in winter
especially, is dangerous to approach in certain states
of the weather, and might oblige the packets to
keep off for days together ; whereas Queenstown
can be made at all times and in all weathers ; so
that in point of fact the mail could be transmitted
with nearly as much speed, and with far greater
regularity and accuracy on the average, from
Queenstown, as it could be from Galway.
It is now considered that the presence of the Lords
of the Admiralty in the harbour, where they may
see with their own eyes the advantages it possesses,
both by nature and art, is the harbinger of better
and brighter days, both for the town and its port.
Among the other Government works at present in
progress here, there is a pier, which has been in the
course of construction! for some time, and is just
beginning to rear its head above high-water mark.
When finished, it will serve as a landing-place
for passengers, but its principal use as a Govern-
ment work will be to facilitate the supply of water
to her Majesty's ships that may call here, as pipes
are laid down from a tank at the top of the hill,
which is supplied from some springs in the vicinity
—thus superseding the tank at Haulbowline, which
is supplied only by rain-water, and is unable iu
consequence to supply such a large fleet as is now
collected. As this pier has now attained a height
when mortar may be safely used in its construction,
it was thought a good stroke of policy by the Cork.
town council to invite the First Lord of the Ad-
miralty to lay the first stone on the occasion of his
approaching visit, and afterwards to accept of a
banquet to be given him in honour of the event,
and some of the councillors were indiscreet enough
to add that they would take the opportunity of
calling his attention to the capabilities of the har-
bour. They had reckoned without their host,
however. The invitation was forwarded, and in
due course an answer was received from Sir James
Graham, intimating, as we understand, that he
would be very happy, if his public duties would
allow, to assist at the ceremony of laying the stone,
but that he must decline to attend the subsequent
banquet.
Four vessels have been for some days in the
harbour—the London, the Blenheim, the Impe-
rieuse, and the Terrible paddle-steamer, whicni ast
is at present doing duty as flag-ship for Sir Wm.
Carroll, the port-admiral. So matters remained
till about midday on Saturday, when the towering
hulk of the Prince Regent, bearing the flag of
Admiral Corry, blue at the wizen, was seen enter-
ing the harbour. All her sails were furled, and as
sh is unfitted with a screw apparatus, she was
towed slowly in by one of the attendant steamers,
and anchored near the centre of the " man-of-war
roads," as nearly as possible on the spot where she
anchored when here last year. She was followed
soon afterwards by the still more gigantic form of
the Queen, 120 guns, which was also towed in with
all sails furled by one of the steamers. Several of
the smaller vessels followed in her wake, and then
there was a cessation of arrivals for about an hour,
when near two o'clock a salute fired outside the
harbour, and replied to by the Port-Admiral's ship,
the Terrible, announced that the Duke of Welling-
ton was entering. The arrival of this ship excited
the greatest interest of any, and as many persons
had by this time come down from Cork by the mid-
day steamers, the heights above Queenstown were
covered with people, and boats were swarming in
the harbour, all anxious to catch a glimpse of the
magnificent ship as she came round Spike Island,
when her proportions came full into view. She
anchored farthest outside of anv of the squadron.
She was closely followed by the Agamemnon and
the Arrogant, all three propelled by their own
screw-machinery, and they anchored near each
other. The rumour now in town is, that the other
vessels are cruising outside the harbour, awaiting
the arrival of Sir James Graham and the Lords of
the Admiralty, who are expected here in the Black
Eagle, though it is not known with certainty what
time they may arrive. When the Black Eagle makes
her appearance, it is said, the vessels outside will
form her escort into the harbour.
The ships now assembled are as follows :
The Prince Regent, 90 guns, bearing the flag of
Admiral Corry, and commanded by Captain Hut-
ton.

The Duke of Wellington, 131 guns, screw, Com-
modore Martin.
The Queen, 120 guns, Captain Mitchell.
The London, 90 guns, Captain Eden.
The Agamemnon, screw, 90 guns, Captain Sir
Thomas Maitland.
The Blenheim, screw, 60 guns, Captain Hender-
son.
The Imperieuse, screw, 50 guns, Captain Watson.
The Arrogant, screw, 46 guns, Captain Fre-
mantle.
The Amphion, screw, 34 guns, Captain Key.
The Tribune, screw, 30 guns, Hon. Captain Car-
negie.
The Highflyer, screw, 26 guns, Captain Moore.
The Terrible, paddle, 22 guns, Captain M'Cle-
verty.
22 guns, Captain Goldsmith.
The Sidon, paddle
The Valorous, paddle, 1.5 guns, Captain Buckle.
The Leopard, paddle, 15 guns, Captain Gifford.
The Desperate, paddle, 8 guns, Captain Cham-
bers.
The Vulture, paddle, 6 guns, Captain Glasse.
Among the vessels expected are La Hogue, the
St. Jean d'Acre, the Edinburgh, and the Odin
steam-frigate.
It is not certainly known what manoeuvres, or,
indeed, whether any, are to be practised by the
fleet. The intentions of the Admiralty in sending
them here at a time when they themselves visit the
port on their tour of inspection, have hitherto been
keptwithintheir own breast ; and, as a consequence,
all sorts of rumours are afloat. The people, how-
ever, have determined that, whatever may be the
indecision as to the displays intended for their gra-
tification, no uncertainty shall exist on the , point
of their readiness to fête and amuse their naval
visitors.
The weather during the last few days has been
delightful. Many thousands of people from Cork
