ITALY.

The Parlamento of Turin of the 7th qnofes
letters from Naples, from which we learn that tile
Government has forbidden the Russian loan to be
quoted at the Exchange of Naples. This measure
is said to have greatly irritated the Russian Am-
bassador there, and to have induced him to send a
note to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Com-
mander Caraffa, in which he threatens to demand
his passports, if the answer be not satisfactory.
The Duke of Modena has issued a decree dated
from Pavullo, 26th ult., directing the inhabitants
of the town and commune of Carrara to give up all
the arms and ammunition they may have in their
possession within a fortnight from that date. No
punishment is to be incurred by those who comply
at once with this provision. The measure does not
apply to foreign consuls, the military or political
functionaries. After the period above mentioned
the Minister of the Interior may give special
permits to persons well known for their attach-
ment to the Government to have arms for the
purposes of self-defence or the chase. Any person
convicted of premeditated homicide or maiming,
stated to have unfortunately become too frequent
within the town and commune of Carrara, is to be
shot. Any attempt at homicide is to be punished
with hard labour for life or 20 years at the least.
Any person found in possession of arms of any
kind after the delay granted above are liable to
be condemned to from 5 to 20 years' 'laid labour.

THE EXPORTATION OF CORN.

In consequence of a decree which prohibited the
export of corn from the principalities of the Danube,
remonstrances were made by some Austrian mer-
chants, who had made purchases of corn and hired
boats for its transport, awl these remonstrances
were supported by the Austrian consul-general
with Omer Pasha, at Bucharest. Omer Pasha de-
clared that considerations connected with the sup-
ply of the troops had led to the prohibition in ques-
tion ; but that, in order to give facilities for the
export of the corn of last year, it should be per
mitten for one month for barley, two months and
a half for wheat, and six months for maize.

THE ALAND ISLANDS.

In relinquishing the Aland Isles it is to be hoped
that the combined Powers will have taken mea-
sures to protect the poor Alanders from any return
of the Russians, who would not fail to make them
expiate their unconcealed sympathy for the West-
ern Powers very dearly.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

ERZEROIIM, August 14.—For the first time my mes-
senger has been attacked on the road, himself beaten,
and my letter destroyed. On the morning of the 18th
instant I despatched him to Erzeroum from Rare, with
a full and detailed account of the above battle, that it

might reach this town in time for the specialh la osta,
Tartar to Trebizond. When little more than f way

who venged
themselves for the absence anythingofn d nearlymore

beater. I now only arrive and learn this
this in time to
partially remedy the misfortune by sending a rapid sum-
mary of the following stirring and important events. By
the next post I may supplement it by further details of
what occurred.
On the morning of the 3d inst. I had nearly finished
my usual weekly letter, when an approach of the Rus-
sians towards the Turkish camp at Iladjivelekey set
everybody in motion, and myself amongst the rest. At
the risk of being too late to catch the following Monday's
Tartar from Erzeroum, I ceased writing till I should be
able to apprise you of the result of the seemingly immi-
nent attack, and thus have some more interesting and
stirring news to communic to than the dull course of
events hitherto had put it in my power to forward. On
came the hostile battalions in formidable and imposing
order, their cavalry, infantry, and artillery being clearly
distinguishable as they advanced. On reaching about
mid-distance between their own and the Turkish lines
they halted, in seeming expectation that the Mushir
would accept the apparent challenge of battle ; but after
remaining foil an hour or two, and seeing no movement
on the part of the Turks, returned to their tents, leav-
ing us in the other camp to add another to our already
numerous impeachments. A. few hours later, however,
I and the rest of " the many" learned that this time his
Excellency had a justifying cause for his conduct, and
that he was forthwith to make an active movement on
his own behalf ; what this was transpired before evening -

THE ATTACK ON SEBASTOPOL.

- --•
The Moniteur publishes a letter from Constanti-
nople, from which we extract the following :
" The expedition to the Crimea is at length de-
cided on, and Sebastopol will be attacked. This
great decision has been announced to the combined
armies, to the
East , and to all Europe, by an or-
der of the day of -Marshal St. Arnaud, in which
the noble ardour of the heroic struggle which is
about to be entered on, and the patriotic affirma-
tion of a speedy victory are expre-sed with elo-
quent energy.
Russia is to be struck in the very
heart of all her ambitious hopes which she nou-
rishes on the East, and which have for a long time
threatened the equilibrium of the world. Sebas-
topol is the citadel which shelters a fleet always
ready to threaten the Bosphorus, a floating bridge
which, in the idea of the Czar, has long united St.
Petersburg to Constantinople. It is necessary that
this fleet should be taken from Russia in order that
that power shall no longer have anything but im-
possibilities in the East, and that the chances even
of treason shall be definitively taken from her.
As soon as the troops shall have been landed,
o
they will be led on to battle either against the Rus-
sian troops if they should endeavour to defend
the positions which surround Sebastopol, or
against the place itself if the Russians content
themselves with waiting for their formidable
visitors under shelter of the walls. If Sebas-
topol be taken, the combined armies will have
accomplished a striking feat of arms which
will complete the demoralisation of Russia, and
materially facilitate the re-establishment of peace.
If, on the contrary, the number of Russians present
in the Crimea should be more considerable than
was supposed ; if the town should prolong its de-
fence, and if obstacles should arise iu a tew weeks
from the season ; if, in short, a strong Russian
army should succeed in reinforcing the Crimea, the
troops would have to re-embark, and the attack on
Sebastopol would be resumed at the commence-
ment of next spring under different conditions.
To attack the Crimea is, on the part of France and
England, to take an engagement to conqi:er, and
no one can doubt but that th,. engagement will
be kept. To conquer the Crimea at any cost, or
to abandon to the Russians the empire of the East
—such is the alternative in which Russia has placed
the Western powers. Whatever may be the ob.

CONSTANTINOPLE.

The Porte has just sold a vast quantity of old
bronze cannon to a firm at Constantinople. The
amount realised will be 200,000 piastres (about
40,000 f.) Some of the cannon, it is said, were
worthy of figuring in a museum. The greater part
were taken from the Corsairs of Barbary, but some
of them bear the arms of Louis XIV. _ _ _

The Constantinople correspondent of the 30th
ult. says, independently of the Turkish division
which is to accompany the expedition, Marshal de
St. Arnaud had been informed by the Seraskier
that he might dispose of another corps of 20,000
men, then ready to proceed to whatever point he
thought proper to order them. A portion of the
army of Omer Paella will also be available the mo-
ment the Austrians have completed the occupation
of Wallachia. On the other hand, fresh reinforce-
ments were expected from France, so that at all
events the Allies will have a sufficient force to
achieve that important enterprise.

with they view of inciting that prosperous and enterprising
county to take initiative measures for extending the In-

THE DOCKYARD BATTALION.

Between the number of men allowed in the early part of
the year to volunteer from the depots of the provisional
battalion at Chatham for service with other regiments in
Turkey, and the different drafts sent to India, the provi-

with the strength it usually mustered, especially as no re-

on that duty being employed in raising men for the regi-

ANOTHER ACCOUNT,

ERZEROUIf, August 14.—For the first time my mes-
senger
has been attacked on the road, himself beaten,
and my letter destroyed. On the morning of the 18th
instant I despatched him to Erzeroum from Kars, with
a full and detailed account of the above battle, that it
might reach this town in time for the special postal
Tartar to Trebizond. When little more than half wa3
the poor fellow was beset by three Kuids, who revenged
themselves for the absence of anything more valuable
by destroying the packet and nearly murdering its
bearer. I now only arrive and learn this in time to
partially remedy the misfortune by sending a rapid sum-
mary of the following stirring and important events. By
the next post I may supplement it by further details of
what occurred.
On the morning of the 3d inst. I had nearly finished
my usual weekly letter, when an approach of the Rus-
sians towards the Turkish camp at Hadjivelekey set
everybody in motion, and myself amongst the rest. At
the risk of being too late to catch the folloxvingMonday's
Tartar from Erzeroum, I ceased writing till I should be
able to apprise you of the result of the seemingly immi-
nent attack, and thus have some more interesting and
stirring news to communicate than the dull course of
events hitherto had put it in my power to forward. On
came the hostile battalions in formidable and impos
order, their cavalry, infantry, and artillery being clearlyng
distinguishable as they advanced. On eaching,
mid-distance between their own and the Turkish lines
about
they halted, in seeming expectation that the Mushir
would accept the apparent challenge of battle ; but after
remaining for! an hour or two, and seeing no movement
on the part of the Turks, returned to their tents, leav-
ing us in the other camp to add another to our already
numerous impeachments. A few hours later, however,
I and the rest of " the many" learned that this time his
Excellency had a justifying cause for his conduct, and
that he was forthwith to make au active movement on
his own behalf ; what this was transpired before evening.
For the sake of some regularity iu
my narrative, how-
ever. I must mention that on the morning of the 3d an
aide-de-camp arrived from Bayazid, with the news of the
defeat of Selina Pacha (not ho who lately fared similarly
near near Batouna) and 8,000 Turks, by a superior force
the
11,000 Russians—a defeat, by the way, which choieh
re-
ti former 1,800 men killed and wounded,
suited directly from the disobedience of tahnedc

DEPARTURE OF ISMAEL PACHA.

The Ost. Correspondent says, on the 2d Ismael
Pacha had left Bucharest, 'with all the political
fugitives, for Anatolia. Prince Gortschakoff haA
removed from Fokschaui to the interior of Mol-
davia, and it is fully expected that no time will
now be lust in quitting that province. The cholera
has appeared at Bucharest, but is not often fatal.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

The September General Sessions of the Peace for the
county of Middlesex commenced yesterday at Hicks's
Hall, Clerkenwell-green, before Mr. Bodkin. acting as
assistant-judge, and a bench of magistrates. There were
for trial 85 prisoners charged with felony, and 12
charged with misdemeanour, making a total of 97.
Thomas Drew, 24, labourer, Jacob Kellen?, 41, water-
man, and Caroline Johnson, 26, were indicted for steal-
ing 16 sovereigns and three knives from the person of
James Thorn, a sailor.

The jury, after a short deliberation, acquitted the
prig

Willizm
John Hamilton, a respectable-looking la.],
sixteen years of age, wa.k. indicted for unlawfully at-
tempting to obtain, by fat=e pretences, from Louisa
Vivian, the sum of one shilling, the money of John
Vivian, with intent to cheat him thereof. He had been
on bail, and now surrendered and pleaded guilty.
Mr. Bodkin sentenced him to one mouth's imprison-
ment, one week solitary.
James Connor, 20, labourer, and James Hanny, 23,
sailor, were indicted for having feloniously assaulted
George Cairns and robbed him of four sovereigns and
other moneys.

Tue jury found them both guilty.
Mr. Witham said they were a pair of most desperate
scoundrels, and sentenced them each to 14 years' trans-
portation beyond the seas.
London, England, 1854-09-12

PORTUGAL.

LISBON, SEPT. 2.
Every one is eagerly expecting the arrival of
Queen Christina from Madrid. It was rumoured
yesterday that she had arrived at Elvas, and the
palace at Belem is said to be prepared for her re-
ception. Strange vicissitudes of fortune ! Not mall'
years ago we beheld Espartero a fugitive from his
native land, on board an English man-of war, the
refuge of the oppressed, not permitted to disem-
bark here from dread of the vindictiveness of the
Queen-Mother. Now she is herself exiled, and
probably indebted for her life, and escape from a
dangerous captivity, to the man whom she ruth-
lessly persecuted. It is believed that some of her
children passed through this city, under the care of
Senor Cohoa, and proceeded to England by the
Madrid steamer. Persons assert that they had an
interview with the King at the Pena convent, but
that their incognito was strictly preserved.
There is a current rumour that the King is de-
sirous to yield up the reigns of Government to his
sou as soon as public convenience will permit. He
postpones the decisions of any matters to which he
objects until the time when the young King shall
be able to determine. It is also believed that the
dissension in the Cabinet is only soldered till the
return of the two princes, who are expected here
about the 10th of Septembet.
London, England, 1854-09-12

ADDRESS TO OMER PACHA.

The young men of Wallachia had presented a
complimentary address to Omer Pacha, couched in
very flowery language. Omer Pacha returned the
following reply :—" I thank you, in the name of
his Majesty the Padischah, our august master, for
the assurances that you have given him of the fide-
lity and attachment of the inhabitants of Roumelia
to the throne of their legitimate sovereign. His Im-
perial Majesty will be delighted to see justified the
confidence which he has al waysplaced in that people,
and his paternal solicitude will not cease to be ex-
tended overthe country, and to labour for the happi-
ness of its inhabitants. As regards me personally, I
thank you for the confidence with which you have
received me. I will only remark to you that it is
not the first time I have visited your town, and
that I have never doubted of the fidelity and at-
tachment of the Wallachian nation. I will accord-
ingly hasten and-deposit at the foot of the Sultan's
throne the expression of your loyal - sentiments.
The sympathy which you state you feel for the
troops placed under my command is understood
and appreciated by them, and they will know how
to render themselves worthy of it by their conduct.
and discipline. I will do all that is in my power
to advance the happiness of your brave and faith-
ful nation." •
London, England, 1854-09-12

CONSTANTINOPLE.

The Porte has just sold a vast quantity of old
bronze cannon to a firm at Constantinople. The
amount realised will be 200,000 piastres (about
40,000 f.) Some of the cannon, it is said, were
worthy of figuring in a museum. The greater part
were taken from the Corsairs of Barbary, but some
of them bear the arms of Louis XIV.
The Constantinople correspondent of the 30th
ult. says, independently of the Turkish division
which is to accompany the expedition, Marshal de
St. Arnaud had been informed by the Seraskier
that he. might dispose of another corps of 20,000
men, then ready to proceed to whatever point he
thought proper to order them. A portion of the
army of Omer Paella will also be available the mo-
ment the Austrians have completed the occupation
of Wallachia. On the other hand, fresh reinforce-
ments were expected from France, so that at all
events the Allies will have a sufficient force to
achieve that important enterprise.
London, England, 1854-09-12

OMER PACHA AND THE AUSTRIANS,

The Augsburgh Gazette learns that it has been
settled between Omer Pasha and Baron Hess that
the Austrians are to garrison the 13 principal
towns in Great and Little 'Wallachia, but that
all the passages of the Danube and the tetes-du
pont, with Braila and Galatz (in Moldavia), shall
have Turkish garrisons. Omer Pasha's army is
said to be composed of 60,000 foot, 24,000 horse (?),
and 120 guns.
