AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Sept. 20.—The Lloyd yesterday con-
tained an article which must be noticed, as it goes
far to confirm the so often-repeated assertion,
that Austria entered into the convention of June
with the Porte, not from disinterested motives,
but from a desire legally to obtain the so long-
coveted footing in the Danubian Principalities.
Some of the Prussian papers have hinted that if
Austria had properly cared for the interests of Ger-
many, of which she speaks so much, she would not
have consented to the entrance of the Turkish
troops into Wallachia. The Vienna writer might
at once have disposed of the frivolous charge, by
remarking that, as the Sultan was the Suzerain, it
was but natural his troops should enter Wal-
lachia at the same time with the forces of the
power which had undertaken ad interim, to dis-
charge the duties of a protector. Instead of ex-
plaining the matter thus simply, the Lloyd affirms
that the Berlin Cabinet is the sole cause of the evil
complained of, by having " in the interest of Rus-
sia" done all in its power to delay the entrance of
the A ustrians into Wallachia. Had it not been for
the intervention of Prussia, the evacuation of the
principalities would have taken place long before,
" and the Austrian troops would have obtained
13xclusive possession of them loug before either
Turkish or auxiliary troops could have appeared
at the scene of action."

The Presse has a letter from Paris, in which is a
most in terestin g accoun t of the original plan of action
of the allies. The troops of the Western Powers were
to have assisted Omer Pacha. in ejecting the Rus-
sians from Moldavia and Wallachia, but all this
was changed when the Convention was concluded
between Austria and the Porte. " The Conven-
tion,"• says the writer, " was not much to the taste
of the French Government, but as England attached
great importance to it, it yielded." We, for the
first-time, hear that Austria made conditions which
were accepted by the Western Powers, and in a
separate document the latter pledge themselves,
" to attack Russia neither from Moldavia nor Wal-
lachia, but from Bulgaria or the Black Sea."

MISCELLANEOUS.

A correspondent describes the English troops as
animated with the greatest enthusiasm. Their
ardour in executing all the works required of them
is incredible. The Irish regiments have sworn to
shave off their whiskers if the Zouaves mount the
breach before them, and the latter solemnly declare
that they will cut off their mustachios if they are
not the first to enter Sebastopol.
The Courrier de la Moselle announces the arrival
at Metz on the 21st of the Prince of the Nether-
lands, from Thionville. Ho left immediately for
Man helm.

Serious disturbances have taken place at Anti-
queros, where the working men have destroyed
all the machinery.
The Russian ships from Sebastopol only cruised
by day, and returned either to Eupatoria or to
Sebastopol at night. No fishing smacks are novr
permitted to leave the ports of the Crimea, lost
they should give intelligence to the Allies.
An army corps of 40,000 men which was at As'
trachan, on the Caspian, under General Peroffskiy
and was, with the troops of the King of Bokhers
and the Khan of Khiva, to have marched along the,
banks of the Jihon to Cabul, suddenly received
counter-orders, and is now on its way to the Call"
casus.

The Opinione of Turin states from Switzerland
that two subaqueous telegraphs are to be estiv
blished, viz., one across the lake of Constance,
between Friedrichs-hafen and Romans-horn, to
communicate with the kingdom of Wurtemberg;
and the other across the lake of Weldestellen, from
the village of Stanz to Lucerne.

WOOL.

Holders of English wool are very firm, and about an
average business is doing in most kinds, at full quotations.
Foreign and colonial parcels move off slowly, on former
terms. Last week's imports were 6 bales from Lisbon, 505
from Port Beaufort, 1,365 from Bombay, 2,300 from
Sydney, 910 from Port Philip, 84 from Haroburgh, 804
from Adelaide, 100 from Oporto, 284 from Alexandria, 71
from the Cape, 130 from Callao, 600 from Islay, 43 from
Taganrog, and 1,292 from Algoa Bay.
The following are the current rates of English wool :
Southdown hoggets, is Id to is 16d ; half-breds, is id to
is 2d; Southdown ewes, is to is Id ; Kent fleeces,
is hi to is 2d ; combing skins, is ld to is 2d ; flannel wool,

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

We read in the Lloyd of Vienna of the 19th :
" Letters from Orsova state that the steamer the
Albert which arrived on the 19th at Turn-Severin,
brought news from Rustchuk and Giurgevo of
the 17th, and Bucharest of the 16th. The Turkish
corps d'armee of Wallachia were passing the Da-
nube at Giurgevo to retire to Bulgaria. There
will only remain a small Turkish garrison at
Bucharest, and some Turkish detachments will
protect the tetes de pont of the left bank of the
Danube—such as those of Giurgevo and Oltenitza.
Omer Pacha arrived on the 16th at Rustchuk,
and was to leave on the 18th for Varna. Business
is becoming active again in the ports of the Lower
Danube, and large masses of merchandise are being
accumulated at Galatz, Ibraila, and Giurgevo, to
ascend the Danube.

The Presse has the following :
" JASSY, Sept. 16.---Yesterday it was notified to the
Administrative Council that the Austrian troops would
enter Moldavia at Polticzeny, Tolgyes, Oitos, and Fok-
schani. On the 7th the Russian steamer Ordinaret dis-
embarked a detachment of Cossacks at Galatz, which
destroyed the magazines belonging to the Danubian
Steam Company. and took possession of the whole stock
of coals. The Vice-President Sacken, all the Russian
Chancelleries, and the post-bureau have quitted Jassy.
Prince Gortschakoff leaves to-day, and the last Russian
troops will quit the city to-morrow. As soon as all the
Russians are across the Pruth, they wi:l carry away the
bridges and entirely close their frontiers. M. Philip-
pesco, the gallant commander of the artillery, has been
sent under escort to Russia. This violent measure has
excited general indignation."
The Lloyd of this evening is authorised to state
that the Cossacks did not destroy the magazines of
the Danubian Steam Company, but they took
" forcible possession" of the coals. A few days
later the forcibly acquired property was paid for at
Galatz.

THE MEDITERRANEAN.

SOUTHAMPTON, SEPT. 24.
The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation
Company's ship Tagus, Capt. J. K. Joy, arrived,
here at noon to-day, bringing the 'heavy portion 01
the East India, China, and Mediterranean mails'
and dates from Alexandria to the 9th, Malta We
13th, and Gibraltar the 18th inst.
The Tagus reports the prevalence of strong north
east winds in the Bay of Biscay. On the 13th she
spoke a screw steamer, supposed to he the Nubia'
with the outward mails of the 4th Sept. for Al'eic
andria ; on the 14th, passed the brig Eclipse ; an
on the 16th, the brig Demerara. The Tagus brings

ages of elephants' teeth, and sundry general nor"
chandise.
From Gibraltar we have accounts to the 16th
inst. H.M. steam despatch gun-boat Beagle, 0
days from Plymouth, bound for Varna, touching

FRANCE.

The Moniteur of Sunday morning has the follow-
ing paragraph :
" In the negotiations which have taken place between
the Cabinets of Paris, London, and Vienna, on the sub-
ject of the occupation of the Principalities by the Aus-
trian troops, it has been agreed that the French, Eng-
lish, and Ottoman armies may, it they think proper, co-
operate in that measure, and that ❑o embarrassment
should result from it for the defensive or aggressive oper
ations which the three belligerent Powers might direct
against Russia. Faithful to this engagement, and
anxious to prevent any misunderstanding on the subject,
the Emperor Francis Joseph sent on the evening of the
21st an order by telegraph to General Hess, not to raise
any impediment to the movement of the Turkish army
on Galatz and Ibraila, should that movement enter into
the combinations of Omer Pacha."

The announcement is important, as putting an
and to the doubts which, notwithstanding the
friendly professions of Austria towards the Western
Powers, many continued to entertain with respect
to the intentions of that State.

The following private telegraphic despatch has
been received :—" VIENNA, 23 I.—A. telegraphic
despatch addressed to the Govertun•lut announces
that on the 16th Moldavia was completely eva-
cuated by. the Russians. General Hess had entered
Bucharest."

The Minister of State is charged ad interim with
the direction of the Ministry of Agriculture, Com-
merce, and Public Works during the absence of
M. Marne.
By a decree in the Moniteur foreign brandy of
all kinds is admitted into France until further
orders on payment of a customs' duty of 15fr. per
hectolitre of pure alcohol.
By a decree in the Moniteur the Vice-Consuls
of France in foreign ports are authorised, in the
event of French vessels putting in at the ports
where they reside, to receive reports and protests
of damages ; to appoint qualified persons to sur-
vey the vessels and report on their damages, and
to authorise the captains to sell or to pledge such
part of the cargo as may be necessary to raise a
sufficienOmm to defray the expenses of their put-
ting into the port.
There are no leading articles in some of the Paris
journals, and those which are given in others are
destitute of importance. Two or three are on the
expedition to the Crimea, but they are mere specu-
lations as to the plan of the campaign, and even
these speculations seem to be based chiefly on what
has been said in the London journals.

The news from the Lower Danube and the Black

in a disjointed form, and must, therefore, be
worked up for the convenience of our readers.

11th from Odessa, Ni hich give an account of the

under General Osten-Sacken. These forces were
originally intended to be the reserve of the Da-
nubian army, but, as Prince Gortschakoff crossed
the Pruth at Skuliany on the 16th, and occu-
pied Bessarabia, they will now be directed to the
coast of Cherson and Perekop. General Osten-
Sacken is totally independent of Prince Gortscha-
koff, but both are under the command of Prince
Paskiewitoh. The reserve army is almost entirely
composed of raw recruits, and is therefore not likely
to offer a very vigorous resistance to the attacks of
the allies. Prince Menschikoff keeps up a commu-
nication with Gene;al Osten-Sacken by means of
his regular light cavalry, which is posted along
the whole coast up to the sea of Azoff.
Letters from Odessa, of the 10th, represent the
position of the inhabitants as very pitiable. They
were leaving the town en masse. All the shops
were empty and closed. Hundreds of vehicles were
constantly employed in removing furniture and
merchandise from the town. Prince Menscliikoff
has been since the 24th ult. at Perekop. He has
organised a rising en masse, but the populatio❑ is
too widely scattered for this measure to produce
much effect. The Prince, however, manifests a
good deal ofassurance, and says that he is perfectly
able to repulse the aggression of the Allies.

THE BLACK SE X.

The news from the Lower Danube and the Black
Sea is of the highest interest, but it has reached us
in a disjointed form, and must, therefore, be
worked up for the convenience of our readers.
The Soldaten Freund has letters of the 9th and
11th from Odessa, hich give an account of the
measures taken by the Russians for their defence.
The troops concentrated in Podolia and the west-

BOROUGH HOP.

As the new hops are coming down very light, the duty
is still called only from 50,0001 to 60,0001. All kinds are
in good request, and new qualities are selling at from 181
to 211 per cwt. Last week's imports were large, viz.,
1,238 bales from Hamburg, 211 from Antwerp, 269 from
Ostend, 7 from Dunkirk, 299 from Rotterdam, 12 from
Ceylon. 1 from Calais, and 168 from New York. Mid and

THE RUSSIAN FLEET.

The Russian fleet shut up in Sebastopol is com-
posed as follows :
"Ships of the Line.—The twelve Apostles, 120 guns ;
the Paris, 120 ; the Three Saints, 120 ; the Grand Duke
Constantine, 120 ; the Viadirnir, 120 ; the Sviatoslaw, 84.
the Rostislaw, 84 ; the Selaphael, 84 ; the Three gisr
archies, 84 ; the Tro-Sviatitalia, 84 ; the Varna, 84
the Gabriel, 84; the Empress Maria, 84; and the Teches-
me, 80.

Frigates.—The Cagul, 60 guns ; the Koulefgi, 60 ;
the Kavarna, 60 ; the Medea, 60.

Correttei and Brio —The Calypso, 18 guns ; the
Pylade, 18; the Ptolemy, 20 ; the Theseus, 20; the
Eneas, 20.

Smaller Vessels.—The Near* Strielta, Orlando,.
Drolik, Labiaka, Lastorga, Sataglaga, 11 transports,
and 64 gunboats.

Steamers 12, six large and six small. Among the
first are the Vladimir, and Grointiostetz, which are
remarkable for their power and the range of their guns."
" The above enumeration," says the Moniteur
de la Flotte,
" Presents a total of 17 ships of the line, 4 frigates, 5
corvettes or brigs, 82 vessels of inferior size, and 12
steamers—in all 108 sail, mounting 2,200 guns of every
description. This certainly is an imposing force. It is
well commanded. The crews are expert at gunnery,
and gifted with that passive courage peculiar to Russian
soldiers, Who die at their post. Nevertheless, in no re-
spect can the Russian naval force be compared with the
combined squadrons in the Black Sea."

THE WHITE SEA.
ATTACK AND DESTRUCTION OF KOLA.
By the arrival of the Miranda, 16, screw, at
Sheerness, we are enabled to lay before our readers
the following intelligence :—The Miranda left Cross
Island on the 4th September, leaving behind her to
blockade that sea the Eurydice and Brisk, together
with one French frigate and brio.. On the 23d of
August she attacked and destroyed the city of
Kola, the capital of Russian Lapland. This
place was defended merely to resist the attack
by boats, as such a thing as a man-of-war of
the Miranda's size and armament was thought im-
possible ever to getup,the navigation beimg most in-
tricate, and the water very shallow. For a boat
attack this place was certainly very strongly forti-
fied by a battery, and the houses, all facing the
river, were pierced with loopholes for musketry,
all of which, however, was ill-calculated to bear a
broadside carrying the metal the Miranda does, and
consequently was taken solely by this ship, and that
without a single loss of life to any one on board.
Shells were thrown into the town. That appears to
have been the principal mode adopted for taking
the above place. A large warehouse was com-
pletely blown up, with 10,000
.bags of flour, and
many others fired, containing provisions and valu-
able goods. We are sorry, however, to have to report
the total loss of a large monastery, containing 21
towers, which accidentally took fire. It burned all
one night, and the sight was awfully grand, illumi-
nating the whole place. Such, however, would
have been spared by the British had it not unfor-
tunately taken fire ; but it appears uncertain even
now whether the &boys place took fire or was de- ,

PRUSSIA.

A Berlin letter of the 19th says :—" The nego-
tiations which are going on at present between the
Cabinet of Berlin and that of Vienna have a double
object, first, to come to an understanding relative
to their conduct in the Diet, and secondly, to agree
on the new bases of peace required for German in-
terests, and the acceptance of which should be pro-
posed to the Western Powers and to Russia. As
to the first point, it appears that the negotiations
are approaching a satisfactory conclusion, but, in
what concerns the second point, it is said that the
Cabinet of Vienna does not appear by any means
disposed to accept the propositions of Prussia,
and that it expresses its intention to preserve a
complete liberty of action, both with respect
to the Western Powers and to Russia. It is
known that the nomination.of the Governor of the
federal fortress of Mentz belongs alternately to
Prussia and to Austria, and Prussia having the
right this year has nominated the Prince of Prussia
to the post, with General de Shuman as deputy-
governor. The income-tax is levied in Prussia
only on persons whose income exceeds 1,000 thalers.
According to a recent return 44,407 persons in all
pay that impost in the Prussian monarchy, or a-half
per cent. of the total population, in reckoning each
payer for a family of five persons. There are but
three persons, whose revenue is from 140,000 to
160,0G0 thalers ; one with a revenue of from
200,000 to 240,000 thalers, and one with a revenue
above that sum. The Government has granted a
credit of 150,000 thalers for repairs of the various
Prussian forts. The Minister of Commerce has just
issued an ordonnance which reduces by one-third
the navigation dues for all steamers entering the
port of Memel."

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

We read in the Lloyd of Vienna of the 19th :
" Letters from Orsova state that the steamer the
Albert which arrived on the 19th at Turn-Severin,
brought news from Rustchuk and Giurgevo of
the 17th, and Bucharest of the 16th, The Turkish
corps d'armee of Wallachia were passing the Da-
nube at Giurgevo to retire to Bulgaria. There
will only remain a small Turkish garrison at
Bucharest, and sem° Turkish detachments will
protect the tetes de pont of the left bank of the
Dumbe—such as those of Giurgevo and Oltenitza.
Omer Paella arrived on the 16th at Rustchuk,
and was to leave on the 18th for Varna. Business
is becoming active again in the ports of the Lower
Danube; and large masses of merchandise are being
accumulated at Galatz, Ibraila, and Giurgevo, to
ascend the Danube.

The Presse has the following :
" JASSY, Sept. 16.---Yesterday it was notified to the
.Administrative Council that the Austrian troops would
enter Moldavia at Polticzeny, Tolgyes, Oitos, and Fok-
schani. On the 7th the Russian steamer Ordinaret dis-
embarked a detachment of Cossacks at Galatz, which
destroyed the magazines belonging to the Danubian
Steam Company. and took possession of the whole stock
of coals. The Vice• President Sa,cken, all the Russian
Chancelleries, and the post bureau have quitted Jassy.
Prince Gortschakoff leaves to-day, and the last Russian
troops will quit the city to-morrow. As soon as all the
Russians are across the Pruth, they will carry away the
bridges and entirely close their frontiers. M. Philip-
peseo, the gallant commander of the artillery, has been
sent under escort to Russia. This violent measure has
excited general indignation."
The Lloyd of this evening is authorised to state
that the Cossacks did not destroy the magazines of
the Danubian Steam Company, but they took
" forcible possession" of the coals. A few days
later the forcibly acquired property was paid for at

EMIGRATION.

The annual report of the emigration commissioners has
just been published. From this it appears that the total
emigration of last year Was 329,937, being 38,827 less
than in 1852. There was a diminution of 26,480 to Aus-
tralia, and 13,376 to the United States, the falling off
being accounted for in the case of Australia by the greater
excitement regarding the gold discoveries prevalent dur-
ing the summer and autumn of 1852, and in that of the
United States by the departure of a smaller number
of Irish, the aggregate emigration of the latter people
throughout the year being estimated at 199,392 against
224,997 in 1852. The remittances from their relatives
in America were, however, larger than in any previous
year, the amount sent through the various banks, apart
from private channels, being 1,439.9001. With respect
to the Australian emigration, the total from the United
Kingdom to all the col mies was 61,401. or about one-
fourth of that of the United States. Subjoined are the
general figures :

According to a supplementary statement, it also appears
that the emigration during the first three months of the
present year has been 49;755
persons, against 90,867 in
the corresponding period of 1853, and 59,52 3 in that of
1852. There has been a continual diminution in the
departures to the United States, but in those to Aus-
tralia, although there is a great falling off as compared
with the first quarter of last year, there is a considerable
increase as compared with the first quarter of 1852. Of
the total 49,756 emigrants, 26,128 were Irish, 12,430
English, 2,965 Scotch, andB 233 lorei,n or unspecified.
Tuis proportion of Irish is mu' eh smaller than in 1852 or

FRANCE.

The Moniteur of Sunday morning has the follow-
ing paragraph :
" In the negotiations which have taken place between
the Cabinets of Paris, London, and Vienna, on the sub-
ject of the occupation of the Principalities by the Aus-
trian troops, it has been agreed that the French, Eng-
lish, and Ottoman armies may, if they think proper, co•
operate in that measure, and that no embarrassment
should result from it for the defensive or aggressive oper
ations which the three belligerent Powers might direct
against Russia. Faithful to this engagement, and
anxious to prevent any misunderstanding on the subject,
the Emperor Francis Joseph sent on the evening of the
21st an order by telegraph to General Hess, not to raise
any impediment to the movement of the Turkish army
on Galata and Ibraila, should that movement enter into
the combinations of Omer Pacha."

The announcement is important, as putting an
and to the doubts which, notwithstanding the
friendlyprofessions of Austria towards the Western
Powers, many continued to entertain with respect
to the intentions of that State.

The following private telegraphic despatch has
been received :—" VIENNA, 211:—A telegraphic
despatch addressed to the Government announces
that on the 16th Moldavia was completely eva-
cuated by the Russians. General Hess had entered
Bucharest."

The Minister of State is charged ad interim with
the direction of the Ministry of Agriculture, Com-
merce, and Public Works during the absence of
M. Magno.
By a decree in the Moniteur foreign brandy of
all kinds is admitted into France until further
orders on payment of a customs' duty of 15fr. per
hectolitre of pure alcohol.
By a decree in the ilioniteur the Vice-Consuls
of France in foreign ports are authorised, in the
event of French vessels putting in at the ports
where they reside, to receive reports and protests
of damages; to appoint qualified .persons to sur-
vey the vessels and report on their damages, and
to authorise the captains to sell or to pledge such
part of the cargo as may be necessary to raise a
sufficient sum to defray the expenses of their put-
ting into the port.
There are no leading articles in some of the Paris
journals, and those which are given in others are
destitute of importance. Two or three are on the
expedition to the Crimea, but they are mere specu-
lations as to the plan of the campaign, and even
these speculations seem to be based chiefly on what
has been said in the London journals..

WOOL.

Holders of English wool are very firm, and about an
average business is doing in most kinds. at full quotations.
Foreign and colonial parcels move off slowly, on former
terms. Last week's imports were 6 bales from Lisbon, 505
from Port Beaufort, 1,365 from Bombay, 2,300 from
Sydney, 910 from. Port Philip, 84 from Hamburgh, 804

AUSTRIA.

VIBNNA, Sept. 20.—The Lloyd yesterday con-
tained an article which must be noticed, as it goes
far to confirm the so often-repeated assertion,
that Austria entered into the convention of June
with the Porte, not from disinterested motives,
but from a desire legally to obtain the so long-
coveted footing in the Danubian Principalities.
Some of the Prussian papers have hinted that if
Austria had properly cared for the interests of Ger-
many, of which she speaks so much, she would not
have consented to the entrance of the Turkish
troops into Wallachia. The Vienna writer might
at once have disposed of the frivolous charge, by
remarking that, as the Sultan was the Suzc:ain, it
was but natural his troops should enter Wal-
lachia at the same time with the forces of the
power which had undertaken ad interim to dis-
charge the duties of a protector. Instead of ex-
plaining the matter thus simply, the Lloyd affirms
that the Berlin Cabinet is the sole cause of the evil
complained of, by having " in the interest of Rus-
sia" done all in its power to delay the entrance of
the Austrians into Wallachia. Had it not been for
the intervention of Prussia, the evacuation of the
principalities wculd have taken place long before,
"and the Austrian troops would have obtained
exclusive possession of them long before either
Turkish or auxiliary troops could have appeared
at the scene of action."

The Presse has a letter from Paris, in which is a
most interestingaccount of the original planof action
of the allies. The troops of the Western Powers were
to have assisted Omer Pacha in ejecting the Rus-
sians from Moldavia and Wallachia, but all this
was changed when the Convention was concluded.
between Austria and the Porte. " The Conven-
tion," says the writer, " was not much to the taste
of the French Government, but as England attached
groat importance to it, it yielded." We, for the
first time, hear that Austria made conditions which
were accepted by the Western Powers, and in a
separate document the latter pledge themselves,
" to attack Russia neither from 3Tolda.via nor 'Wal-
lachia, but from Bulgaria or the Black Sea."
