sal tranquillity, :as the other. What is required
is the perfect independence of the Porte in its
own dominions ; any pretext for interference must
be avoided. Either religious supremacy—whether
of Greek or Latin Church—should be prevented.
We believe that the SULTAN will accord toleration
to the professors of every creed—that there will
be no persecution for religion's:sake in any part of
his territories. But if there must be a protec-
torate of any kind, let-, it be exercised by distant
powers, that cannot be influenced by any motives
of self-aggrandisement, and that have already
afforded unequivocal evidence of their disinte-
rested anxiety for the support and maintenance of
the Ottoman Power. All that we require or will
accept from Austria is, the immediate evacua-
tion of the Principalities. Our Moslem Allies
are able to hold their own territories with-
out German aid. So long as the Russians
could stay, Austria made no' sign. It was not
until the Muscovites were thrashed to their hearts'
content, when they could no longer hold the de-
bateable land, that Austria stepped in, and the
intention was palpably to shield, not to injure,
the retreating invader. They endeavoured fruit-
lessly to exclude the victorious troops from the
dominions of their Sovereign ; while the Russians
openly avowed that their retreat was occasioned
solely by their own convenience, and not in de-
ference to the wishes of Austria.
We must, then, not be too ceremo-
nious with those who will go to the ut-
most length of their tether, and strive
to get all which there is any possibility of
their obtaining. Having captured Sebastopol
and destroyed the Russian fleet, let us profit by
the advantages wo have achieved by our own
prowess ; and as we gained them without German
assistance, let us use them without reference to
German wishes or German interests.

'' BENEDETTI:'

MONTENEGRO.
VIENNA, MONDAY.

Advices from Cattaro of the 23d ult. state
that 1,000 Turks had entered the districts of

Berda and Bielopacljewich on the 19th, to chastise
depredators. The Montenegrin repulsed them
with trifling loss. Prince Dauilo discountenances
these conflicts.

DENMARK.

COPENHAGEN, OCT. 2.

The new Danish Parliament has just been

opened, amidst a large concourse of spectators.
The speech from the throne was read by Orsted.
It breathes defiance against the Danish Parlia

ment and people.

A few hurrahs, mingled with hisses, for the
King and constitution, were followed by enthu-
siastic cheers for the constitution of the Danish

kingdom.

A letter from Copenhagen of the 28th ult.,
says :—" The majority of the commission of the
Council of State charged to send in a report on
the proposition of M. Tcherning and Ussing, has

pronounced, by a majority of 4 against 2, in
favour of these propositions."

THE BALTIC.
EXPECTED ATTACK ON CRONSTADT.
A letter has just been received from Pails, in
which is the following highly important informa-
tion :

" I learn that an attack upon Cronstadt is
seriously contemplated almost immediately.
General Niel, the general of engineers, who dis-
tinguished himself in the Baltic by the prominent
part he took in the direction of the siege of Bo-
marsuud, reported personally to the Emperor that
he believed the attack was practicable this year.
This report has been communicated to the Eng-
lish Admiralty, and I have reason to believe that
the movement of Admiral Parseval Deschenes,
already mentioned in a telegraphic despatch, por-
tends a more serious enterprise than a fruitless
sacrifice of life at Revel."

tictioitucl sAys :—" The colours of the allied armies
arc now floating over the walls of Sebastopol ; the
march of the troops has been only one series of
successes and victories, and a few days have suf-
ficed to accomplish one of the most glorious cam-
paigns that the history of modern nations will have
had to register. A few days have been sufficient
to strike to the heart the power of Russia, now
effaced from the list of great nations."
The following is from the Pays :—" Sebastopol
has been taken. The success is complete, decisive,
overwhelming. We did not expect too much from
the heroism of our soldiers, and the irresistible
power of civilisation. The event has exceeded the
proudest hopes. The town, its fortifications, its
fleet, its garrison—everything has surrendered.
There are no longer any Russian cannons on the
coasts of the Crimea. There is no longer any power
menacing the gates of Constantinople. Turkey may
now respire at her ease."
