BRUSSELS, JULY 16.—The King returned from Ar-
denne to Brussels yesterday evening, at half-past seven
o'clock.

BERLIN, JULY B.—According to your last accounts
from the Russian frontier, the remains of the expedition
under General Perowsky, destined against Khiva, are
still on the banks of the Emba ; it has, however, been
positively known here for about a month past, that these
remains have arrived at Orenburg in the most deplo-
rable condition. A communication fully confirming this
fact was read in the last sitting but one of the Geo-
graphical Society of Berlin.
VIENNA, JULY B.—Prince Metternich's departure
for his estates in Bohemia is fixed for Monday, the 13th
inst. Prince Paul Esterhazy will soon leave Vienna,
but go for a time to Marienbad in Bohemia before he
returns to his post. On his arrival at London we un-
derstand that Baron Neumann will return to Vienna.
Count Von Munch Bellinghausen certainly leaves
Vienna on the 10th to resume his functions as Presi-
dent of the German Diet at Frankfort.

TURKISH FRONTIER, JULY 3.—Great complaints
come from Albania and Macedonia of the dearness of
provisions, caused by the failure of the harvest for two
successive years. A letter from Bitoglia (Monastir),
says, " the scarcity of corn is most severely felt, 80
occas, which used to cost from 40 to 50 piasters, have
rapidly risen (since this year's harvest has likewise failed),
to the enormous price of 160 to 180 piasters, and other
provisions have risen in proportion, so that the poor
a:e in danger of dying from famine, but for the charity
of their neighbours. This new misfortune threatens
wholly to dissolve the frail bonds of order and tranqui-
lity in this province. Robbery increases to such a de-
gree, that people can hardly venture a short distance
from the towns and villages even in the day-time. The
Government is unable to give relief, and the complaints
of the poor are generally unavailing. A Greek lately
sold his daughter, the darling of her mother and sisters,
to a Turk, in order to procure for a time the means of
subsistence for himself and his farad) ; and similar acts
of despair are daily heard of."
Letters from Constantinople say that Lord Pon-
sonby has invited the English Admiral to proceed to the
coast of Syria, to protect life and property ; and that he
has applied to the Austria Internuncio that the Aus-
trian squadron may join the English fleet for the same
purpose.

FRANKFORT, JULY 12.—1 t is said that the Emperor
of Russia has received letters from the Empress dated
from St. Petersburg, which mention more particulars
of his M3jcsty's intended journey. Immediately on the
arrival of his son the Grand Duke Alexander, probably,
therefore, before the beginning of the month of August,
he wilt set out on his tour to inspect the troops in the
Southern Provinces of the Empire. At the beginning
of September his Imperial Majesty will pay a visit to
the Emperor of Austria at Vienna ; thence he will go,
in the second week of September, to Nuremburg, where
the King of Bavaria will, at that time, hold his Court ;
hue ha will be present at the grand review of the
Bavarian troops, which are to be encamped near
Nuremburg ; lastly, his Majesty will go to Darmstadt
to meet the Empress, and with her and the young bride
of his son, return by way of Berlin to Petersburg. It.
seems uncertain whether the Grand Duke will accom-
pany his father on the whale journey, or take a shorter
road to join the Empress.
The Empress is expected on the 25th of August at
Aschaffenberg, on a visit to the Royal Family of
Bavaria ; from that place her Majesty will go to Darm-
stadt to wait for the arrival of the Emperor.
News has been received here by way of Vienna, that
the Egyptia❑ party at Constantinople, are intriguing to
bring about a marriage between the Sultan's second
sister and Abbas Pasha, grandson of Mehemet Ali,
which alliance would set the seal to the reconciliation
between the Porte and the Viceroy of Egypt. Chos-
rew Pasha is to give up eleven millions of piastres (only
a small portion of the treasures which he has amassed).
after which the Porte %ill send him into banishment to
Mocha. _ _

ST. PETERSBURG, JULY o.—The St. Petersburg
Gazette has an article on the corn trade in Moscow,
which affirms that tke stock in hand is pretty sufficient
for the consumption of the country, and that the prices
are snore likely to fall than to rise. The Ukase men-
tioned by the Hamburg Journals, by which the impor
tation of corn is allowed free of duty in the Russian
Baltic ports, has not yet been published.—Petersburg
