GERMANY.

The Augsburg Gazette states from Vienna that
when M. de Lacour presented his new .letters of
credence to the Emperor of Austria, his Majesty
spoke in warm terms of the eminent services ren-:
dered to the cause of order by the Emperor Napo-
leon, and expressed his conviction that the two go-
vernments would seriously co-operate in the main-
tenance of peace.

The Cologne Gazette states from Berlin that the
news of the march of two Russian corps d'armee
towards the Turkish frontier, is confirmed. The
fifth corps d'armee of General Rudgier has already
received orders to march, and the fourth corps has
called in its reserves.

The Augsburg Gazette has the following from
Vienna, dated the 4th :—" The Gazette contains
an article which has tranquillised the stock ex-
change and the public. It states that the Austrian
Goverruncnt has not assumed a hostile attitude
towards Turkey."
The Austrian Government has just decided that
such persons as emigrate to America, or elsewhere,
must lose their right of citizenship in Austria. It
also reserves to itself the power of not again ad-
mitting into Austria for a certain time, according
to circumstances, such persons as leave it as emir
grants. Notice has been sent to the representatives
of Austria in foreign countries not to viser the pass-
ports of such persons for Austria.
The Emperor of Austria has granted a sum Of
30,000 florins (about 3,000/.) to Professors Bottger,
of Frankfort, and Schcenbein, of Bale, the two
inventors of cotton powder, for the communication
of the secret of their discovery.
Notwithstanding the efforts made by the Prus-
sian Government to encourage temperance socie-
ties, spirit distilleries are on increase in that
country. The duty on brandy last year produced

cannot be avoided.

In 1840, before a single ship of war had been fitted
with the screw, this difficulty regarding it had been
pointed out to the Admiralty by Captain Carpenter.
They have, however, thought proper to use the section
of a screw, as it is described in his patent, but have dis-
regarded the auxiliary propeller, which is of the greatest
importance to ships of war, though it may not be so au
required in merchant vessels.
On the 20th ult., Captain Carpenter exhibited his new
mode of propelling vessels; on a little steam-boat, to de-
velope the principle.—Yours, &c.,

FRANCE AND ENGLAND.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING ADVERTISER.
Sir,—Considering you as the most effective
medium in this country for conveying information
to the masses of our countrymen, I forward to you
a copy, with translations, of extracts from the
Gazette de France of Saturday last, the organ of
the Legitimist and Catholic party in 'ranee,
which have been this day forwarded to me by a
correspondent abroad, as containing matter to
which serious attention ought to be directed in
England. The subject is the work entitled Lettres
Franques, which has already been noticed by the
English press.
As an old out-port man, I should be ashamed if
I did not know, that there is a just medium be-
tween overcharged alarm and neglecting fair
warnings given ; to which may be added, that
nothing is more common than for an enemy to
avow his intentions, for the very purpose of accus-
toming to the cry of " wolf." At all events,
here is a journal telling you in plain terms what a
party abroad desire and expect to accomplish ; for
men do not compromise themselves by declarations
of this kim.d without a certain degree of confidence
in the event. One thing the writers are evidently
bent on demonstrating—that the French Govern-
/neat does not discounteiance " provocations
direciCs" to a descent on England.
am, Sir, your obedient servant,
T. PERRONET THOMPSON.

INDICATIONS OF THE MINISTERIAL POLICY. - Sir
Charles Wood, at a public dimmer at Halifax on Thurs-
day night last, enunciated the only tangible idea of an
extension of the franchise which has yet been expressed
by any member of the Cabinet, or which might be taken
as indicative of the Ministerial policy on that subject.
He said he did not hold that there was any virtue in a
101. house, but some criterion was necessary for the pur-
poses of registration, The Government was prepared to
extend the franchise so as to embrace the most intelli-

gent of the classes below those now enfranchised by
pecuniary qualification. This is a most important de-
claration, coming from one so habitually cautious as the
present President of the Board of Control, and must
have received the sanction of the Cabinet, of which he
is so prominent a member, before he ventured to en-
dorse it.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

( Front the London New Price Current of this day.)
SUGAR.—Of all sorts arrivals here compared with the
previous year show a decrease of 7,600 tons; home trade
deliveries are 1,700 larger ; but 1,200 smaller for expor-
tation, and there is a decrease in stock of 27,600 tons ;
the gazette average price ruling above by 58 2d. The
assortment of West India at market has been indifferent
and previous terms have been maintained ; at the same
time home dealers operated with reluctance. Purchases
from Wednesday to Friday were only 900 hhds., &c. ;
but out of second hands 810 were sold during that period.
To-day a strong disposition was evinced to operate in
West India sugar both by refiners and grocers, the prices
offered being fully equal to those of Friday. Business
was rather interfered with by a limited supply and indif-
ferent assortment. Of Barbadoes 262 hhds and 30 tcs
at auction went with spirit at full rates to 6d per cwt.
above for mid qualities ; fine yellow realised 39s to 39s
6d, and mid to good 37s to 38s 6d per cwt. Total trans- ,

LEEDS BRADFORD, AND HALIFAX JUNCTION RAIL-
WAY.—The report submitted at the general meeting of
this company, held in Bradford on Saturday, is very brief,
and to the following effect : " Your directors have to
report satisfactory progress in the construction of the
line. The long continuance of wet weather will, however,
it is calculated, cause a little more delay than was pre-
viously anticipated. Your directors are now prosecut-
ing the application to Parliament for powers to enable
them to construct the proposed coal branches, the plans
and sections for which have been duly deposited, and
the standing orders of Parliament complied with." The
statement of accounts to the 31st December shows the
total receipts to be 31,136/. 14s. 2d., and the payments
14,310/. Os. 6d., leaving a balance in hand of 17,826/.
13s. Bd. The principal items among the payments are
Parliamentary expenses, 9,761/. lls. 14d. ; Mr. Hawk-
shaw for engineering, 450/. ; and contractor on account
of making the line, 3,877 10s.
CORK AND YOUGHAL RAILWAY.—The project of an
application to parliament giving power to a new com-
pany to construct a line of railway between Cork and
Youghal has been abandoned by the projectors,

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful
consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which
have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other
class of disease known to modern pathologists The treatment
adorled is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated
stools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe.
The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under
the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few
legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un-
divided studies to this important branch of medical science. in short,
every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental
to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and
ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation
of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical
and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient
guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care
in every Instance, meet with that delicate consideration and
inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, Aug. s.—To-day the impaired spirit of
the market has become more decided and general. Both ,
in goods and yarns, the buyers have, as if by common
consent, suspended their operations. Sellers do not, how-
ever, offer, their productions at lower prices. Under ,
the circumstances, a small concession would be of no
use in the way of inducing operations, and spinners and
manufacturers are too much under contract to feel ur-
gent about selling. Their indifference in this respect is
increased, too, by the general state of the relations be-
tween employers and employed. No doubt, however,
slightly reduced offers from buyers would be accepted for
some things by such producers as are not largely pre-en-
gaged. The principal cause of this unfavourable change is
the extraordinary conduct of Russia in requiring the llos-
podar of Moldavia to pay his tribute to the Czar and not
to the Sultan—a measure which manifestly renders war
more imminent than before. Besides this, the agree-
ment of the millowners at Stockport to pay the required
advance of ten per cent, in the wages for spinning, is at
once felt in such yarns as will thus undergo an increase
of supply. The goods market will not feel in an equal
degree the return of the weavers in that town to their
work.
BRADFORD, August 4.—Wool—There is a shade more
doing in Wools, especially bright-haired, which imparts
more confidence to the holders, who complain that they
cannot replenish stocks on terms to enable them to meet
the prices now offered by the spinners. Noils and
brokes are not plentiful. Yarns—The unsettled state
of the Eastern question makes the shippers defer their
purchases, already the quantity exported is much less
than in previous years. Ere long, greater activity may
be expected. For spools the demand is steady, and
prices without change. 'Pieces—The merchants exhibit
a great degree of caution, and are only buying in
limited quantity, and without some relief in wools can
be obtained, higher prices or a less production must fol-

low.
LEIcEsTER, August 4.—The same regularity in making
continues, and all hands in the respective branches are
well employed. Worsted yarns remain without altera-
tion, the demand not being very active. There is but
little doing in wools, purchases being made only for pre-
sent supply. The stoppage of the old-established and
extensive firm of R. Carter and Son, worsted spinners,
of this town, has caused much sensation in the trade.

TURKEY AND RUSSIA.

As the moment for the solution of the Eastern ques-
tion approaches, it is easy to see that hopes of a pacific
denouement are daily diminishing, even among those who
have been hitherto most sanguine. We are in a state
of expectation, and shall probably continue so until the
middle or the close of the present month. We have, it
is true, assurances that the Turkish Government is doing
its utmost to keep down the enthusiasm or the irritation
of its own subjects ; for it is well aware that any act of
violence would be all to the advantage of its enemy—but
can it long continue to do so ?
A letter from Jassy, in Moldavia, of the 28th ult., in
a Vienna journal, says :

" Although the Principalities are full of Russian
troops, the entrance of the third corps d'armee is ex-
pected, after the departure fromJassy of the corps &arm&
of General Gortschakoff. A Russian diplomatic depart-
ment has been established under the presidency of
General de Danneberg, and M. de Kotzebue, the
Consul-General, has been nominated secretary to

with the dispatch of the Wallachian and Turkish mails.
Letter from Galatz and Vienna must be sent by steam-
ers. The Russian army is concentrated near Tekacz, a
little town at some distance from Berlad. Four Rus-
sian vessels of war have arrived at Galatz, with troops
for disembarkation and some artillery. Others were
expected. Since the departure of Prince Gortschakoff,
the reigning Prince has not been at Jassy, but at a
country-seat. The French Consulate, which had been
managed by a Vice-Consul, is now confided to a Consul."
Letters from Odessa, of the 18th, mention that Vice-
Admiral Schurieff, who commands the first division of

the passage.
It is stated that several Austrian and Prussian officers
having demanded from their Government permission to
enter the Russian service, have been refused.
A letter from Alexandria of the 22d ult. informs us
that the Viceroy of Egypt continued to show the
best feelings towards the Sultan. It is positively
stated that, independently of the assistance which he has
already sent, he has offered to remit in advance the tri-
bute which he pays to the Porte, in order to assist in
supporting the expenses of the preparations for defence.
A St. Petersburgh letter, sf the 23d ult., announces
the arrival of Vice-Admiral Balz, who commands one
of the divisions of the Russian fleet.

GERMANY.

The Silesian Gazette states that interviews have lately
taken place at Ratibor between several superior officers
of Germany, concerning federal affairs. Amongst these
gentlemen were the Prussian General de Reyher and
the Austrian Feldzengmestre de Hess. Two other
officers were expected, one from Saxony and the other
from another German State.
A new postal treaty has just been concluded between
Prussia and Russia. The postage of letters has been di-
minished on both sides.
A letter from Vienna of the 3d, says :—" It results
from the budget of 1853 that the total receipts amount

to 224,806,268 florins, and the expenditure to
274,587,121 florins. The deficit is, therefore, nearly
nine millions less than it was in 1851. There has been
the greatest exaggeration with regard to the latest
arrests. Only eight persons in all have been taken into
custody. The domiciliary visits produced no result.
On the 16th ult. the two last battalions left for Pesth.
The troops sent to Peterwarden will not amount to
more than 4,000 men. No other armaments have taken
place. The corps of observation does not exceed 18,000
men."
Ripakewitz, a noted democrat, who made himself re-

MOROCCO.

A letter has been receiued in Marseilles from Moga-
dor, dated the 13th July, announcing that the Emperor
and his son had obtained a complete victory over the Ka-
byles, who had not hitherto acknowledged the Emperor's
authority. The victory was dearly purchased with the
loss of 500 of the Emperor's best troops. The loss of
the Kabyles was still greater.

ITALY.

The Voce della Liberta of Turin mentions the arrest
of Father Vitali, the administrator of a convent of Ca-
puchins, while preaching at the Croce di Santo Spirito,
near Cremona. The motive is not stated.
The Genoa Gazette quotes letters from La Spezia of
the 31st ult., giving particulars of the accident obscurely
alluded to a few days ago, which nearly endangered the
King of Sardinia's life. is Majesty and royal family
had been on a trip to the island of La Maddalena, and
were on their return on board the Governolo steamer,
when she suddenly struck against a sunken rock, and
with such violence, it would appear, as to spring alleak,
for the royal party had to continue their homeward
voyage on board the Tripoli steamer. On their arrival
at the entrance of the gulf of La Spezia, they were agree-
ably surprised with a pageant of a novel kind. The in-
habitants of Sarzana, learning that his Majesty could not
this time extend his excursions to that town, determined
to offer their homage at La Spezia. All the boats of
Sarzana, great and small, and of all denominations, had
aczordingly been pressed into the service, and tastefully
decked out. This flotilla had reached La Spezia shortly
before the return of the Tripoli, and now surrounded
the steamer, while music and loyal acclamations issued
from the boats. The King was highly gratified at this
spontaneous demonstration ; and having reached his
hotel admitted a deputation of Sarzanese to his presence,
who delivered a short and loyal address from their
town, with upwards of 800 signatures to it. The flotilla
then set sail again, with loud cheers for the royal
family.
The Parlamento of Turin, in speaking of the accident
of the Governolo, states that the sunken rock on which
she struck goes by the name of Santa Maria. The
Governolo was going at the rate of 11 knots an hour;
the leak she sprung was so serious that the pumps were
barely sufficient to keep it under. The King and royal
family landed on the small island Caprera until the
Tripoli could be had to take them on board. As the
Governolo cannot be
