BOMARSUND.

The French troops at Bomarsund are suffering
extremely from cholera, and will probably, in
consequence, be re-embarked.. News from Stock-
holm confirms the fact of the cholera having
broken out in the Aland Isles, and the re-
ports had reached that capital that the for-
tress of Bomarsund would be blown up and aban-
doned. Several vessels of war had on the 21st
inst. already left Led Sund, as was understood.
The Basilisk and La Reine Hortense, which
brought the good news of the capture of Bomarsund
to Dantzic, returned thence to the fleet on Satur-
dby, after delivering their despatches, and on Mon-
day the French steamer Lucifer arrived there to wait
for orders from Paris. All the various assertions
and denials of the press as to the turn that Swedish
politics are taking—by some represented as en-
tirely in favour of the We stern Powers, and by
others as perfectly unmoved by the attractions
of Aland. and Finland—stand a fair chance of
being superseded by the intervention of the
cholera, should the news I send you to-day be well
founded. his mentioned in a telegraphic despatch
from,Stockholm, received to-day, that on Monday
last our new Minister had an audience
of

tie
King, from which much was expected.
There was also reports current there that
the second French expeditionary corps would be
cantoned in or near Stockholm, and that an august
would take the command : it was added
edetails of the winter campaign were set-

during the late visit of General Baraguay
d'Hilliers. The terms of compact generally spoken
of are, that Sweden joins the Western Powers
with 40,000 men, and her combined Swedish and
Norwegian fleet, in consideration of having the
Aland Isles secured to her by the Western Powers.
On Wednesday evening GeUeral Baraguay
d'Hilliers left Bomarsund immediately after the
capitulation, accompanied by the Hon. Mr. Grey,
and returned to Stockholm. An Adjutant of the
General was commissioned to convey certain de-
spatches to the King. The General was still at
Bomarsund on the 21st inst.

portant advanced position of Aland, the camp and
ether colours, taken by General Wrangel from the
Turks, near Bayazid, were carried in great pomp
from the winter palace, to be deposited in tha -- -
church of St. Troitz ; and this on the 16th—that
is, on the day of surrender at Bomarsund.
We must not be surprised to hear of the Ruso
sian press ascribing the surrender to treachery--
that is, to the same process, whereby they noto-
riously obtained possession of Sweaborg in 1808,
and recently attempted to possess themselves of
Silistria. Indeed, according_ to a statement given- ---
in a report from Stockholm, addressed to the
German Allgemeine, and quoted by the Russian.
Berlin organ, something of this kind is hinted at
in regard to one of the towers, in these words :--- -
" They (the assailants) directed their heaviest guns
against, the tower, where, it appears, it was
trayed' to them the Russians had amassed their
ammunition."

The misfortune of the brave men who have beell
wantonly abandoned and exposed by the Emperor
to inevitable death or capture is quite sufficient,
without their being subjected even to a breath of
such detestable suspicion as that conveyed in • the
above phrase.

The-Lira/id, by a strange posthumous act, pub-
lishes on the 18th of August the Bucharest decree
of Baron Budberg, of the 19th of June, relative to
neutral navigation on the Danube, and this under
thii head of " Intelligence from the Interior ;" just.
as if Wallachia were an internal and integral por•
tion of all the Russias. --

PRUSSIA.- . ibn
BERLIN, August 25.—The Deutsche A 1140144-
Zeitunq gives a version of, the Austrian Note o.
the 10th inst., which forwarded and recommended
to Russia the views of England and France. Ar•
cording to this version, the Note recapitulates the
events that preceded the war, and energetiealli
refutes the statements made by Count Nesselrode
in his answer to the Austrian sommation.
_.1;•
speaking of the Russian withdrawal from
Principalities, the Austrian Government dielareS
that it looks on it •as a stratevical • necessity, -
as a measure of defence, and by no means
as a concession.. The note recognises the conditions
of peace as put forward by the Western Powers as
the only possible terms, and designates them as &
" natural result" of the strategical advantages
gained by the adversaries of Russia. It is repro-
Bente(' 'to the Russian Government that, with the
compulsory retreat of the invading troops from the • ,
Principalities, the protectorate over them,'as well
as over the reek Christian suhjects of the. Sultan,
has de facto been forfeited, as it would be out of
the question to expect the victor to submit any
portion of his territory or his subjects to the van-
quished party.

•AUSTRIA-
The Wiener Zeitung contains the following COM'
munication, dated Vienna, Aug. 23, relative to the
entry of the Danubian Principalities by the Aus-
trian
troops :
"The entrance of the Imperial Austrian troops into • ,
thi Darmbian Principalities began with their march into
Wallachia, between the 20th. and 22d of this month.
The division Macchio advanced with its two brigades .-
against Hermannstadt. Major-Gen. Burlo entered Walla-
~
chia with his brigade from Cronstadt. Count Coronini, ' ,-
the commander of the corps, though under the supreme
command of the chief of the 3d and 4th army corps, has.
been appointed by his Majesty to the command of all
the Austrian troops which may occupy the Principalitied.
Count Corunini directs the operations of his whole corps •
during its march. and while he himself advances with
the brigades Schwarzl and Burlo towards Bucharest,
which he expects to reach on the sth of Sept., the brigade
Jellachich, under F. M. L. Macchio, will proceed direct
to Krajova, the capital of Little Wallachia, which it ,
will enter on the 2d of September. The three brigade°,
will remain in Wallachia ualer the special command of
Baron Alleman, while Count Coronini—as a positive
promise has been given that the Russian army win'.
evacuate Moldavia- will, at a later period, proceed to
occupy that province with three other brigades of his
corps, which will be under the command of Count Peer.
Count Coronini will then reside alternately at Bucharest
and Jassy."
There is a vague rumour in circulation that the -
representatives of the Four Powers forming th
Vienna Conference will meet again in a day or,
two, but it is not clear what object is to be atta,ineu
by such a step.. Hints are said to bave,beer!,
dropped by Prince Alexander Gortschakoff that
his Cabinet. will not abBo2utely reject the Propo"
sitions of the Western Powers, but demand sone i
modifications. • • : . ie(l

day extends the date of closing to the 31st of the
present month.

- Though the cholera has not shown itself in great
malignity in Turin, there are still some new cases
reported daily, and from all parts of the kingdom
--indeed, from all farts of Italy—it has spread it-
self more or less, in spite of cordons sanitaires and
quarantines. Of this part of the world Lombardy
and Switzerland have hitherto escaped the best,
which some would account for in the latter case by
the pureness of the mountain air ; but in the pro-
vince of Genoa, on the slopes of the Appenines, it
has been found that the highest places, which had
previously been considered inaccessible to cholera,
have this year fallen victims to it ; and in the case
of Lombardy, where no precautions have been
adopted against the entry of persons infected (sup-
posing the disease to be infectious), no kind of
reason can be advanced.
Yesterday there were it cases and 8 deaths in
Turin, and 73 cases and 53 deaths in Genoa. In
some of the country towns the returns continue
Very heavy, in proportion to the population.
