an article destined to justify the occupation of tb e
Danubian Principalities by Austria. It opposes
this occupation to that of Greece by the allies, and
asserts that the former is justified by right, whilst
the presence of the Western Powers in Greece crin
receive no justification whatever. It asserts that
the non-settlement of the Bessarabian frontier de-
mands the presence of the Austrian army in the
provinces, as it has given rise to the re-appearance
of the English squadron in the Black Sea. It does
not suffice, it says, for the treaty to be signed ; it
must, likewise, be carried into execution. "Aus-
tria," says the article in conclusion, " has the same
duty to perform in watching over the execution of
tiis treaty as the other contracting powers ; and
the presence of the Austrian force, justified more-
over by treaty, is calculated to accelerate the satis-
factory execution of the measures provided by the
peace of Paris."

RUSSIA.
A St. Petersburg letter states that the Emperor
of Russia has granted the order of the White Eagle
to Ismail Pacha, commander of the Turkish army
at Anatolia.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the Bth, says :
___‘; The establishment of the company for navigat-
ing the Black Sea has been already mentioned.
To-day the following Imperial ukase relative to the
extraction of coal in the country of the Don has,
appeared :—' The maintaining in the Black Sea of
vessels of war impelled solely by steam, which We
shall have to keep up as a protection in conformity
with the treatyof Paris; the anticpated construction
of railways in the south of the Empire, the founda-
tion of the Russian Society of Navigation in the
Sea of Azoff, the Black Sea, and the Mediterranean,
as also on the rivers Bong, Dnieper, and the Don ;
the development of steam navigation on the Volgai
and lastly, the large increase in the price of wood
in the south of Russia—all these causes being
necessarily calculated to augment the scarcity 01
fuel, and we being desirous to prevent the extrac-
tion of coal from becoming a monopoly, have
decided that all companies presenting themselves
for that purpose shall be authorised to extract
coal, provided they be composed of Cossacks of
the Don.' Some German journals have spread the
report that recent nominations for the navy of
the Black Sea prove that Russia contemplates the
re-establishment of her naval forces in that sea.
This report is without foundation, as is proved by
the fact that Admiral de Metlin, commander of
the naval forces at Nicolaieff, one of the principal
officers of that fleet, has been brought to St. Peters-
burg as councillor of the Admiralty, and that Ad-
miral Pamphiloff, who commanded a division of it,
has been nominated governor of Sweaborg ; also
by the fact that the crews of that fleet have been
sent to Archangel and Cronstadt."
A letter from St. Petersburg of the 10th says :---
" The Emperor, who returned a few days back to
the palace of Czarskoe Zelo, near this city, will re-
main there three days longer, partly to despatch
business and partly to enjoy a little repose."

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
By the Yankee Ranger we have received advices
from Cape Town to August 23.
The Graham's Town Journal of August 6 states
that the intelligence from the frontier to that date
was of a satisfactory character. A correspondent,
writing from Queen's Town on the 13th, says :---
" Things are not so bad here as they are represen-
ted. We are not excited, neither are wo throwin4
up entrenchments, a 3 has been said : on the con-
trary, we feel quite competent to hold our position
even though the whole force of Kaffirland. should
)13 brought against us." In like manner a corre-
spondent writes from Alice on the 14th of Aug.
The excitement occasioned by the recent rumours
of war is going off. Letters from Fort Beaufort
are of similar tendency, and state that in Lhe Cat
River settlement the best spirit is maintained."
A. witch doctor has perverted the minds of many
natives by a prophecy that very shortly two suns
will appear, that a desperate collision will take
place between them, after which a period of pro-
found darkness will ensue. All people, white or
black, who wear trousers will then be swept off the
face of the land by a whirlwind, leaving the happy
sansculottes undisputed masters of the whole
country.

The tSlambies and Galekas are the tribes prin-
cipally wrought on by these predictions, and their
members are repairing to King William's Town
with hides, returning with axes, knives and other
arms of their mode of warfare. lacomo has visited
King William's Town, and declares that the
Gaikas are sick of Umlanjeni, and are not likely to
be soon again led astray.

Bishop— Gray left Graham's Town on the 15th
of August with Mrs. Gray far the Kraals of Um-
hala and Sandilli.

Advice 3 from Natal to August 1 state that Sir
George Grey is expected in that colony with Mr.
Scott, the new lieutenant-governor, on the arrival
of the latter at the Cape. Three bags of Natal
coffee, the first that has appeared in the market,
were sold by auction in the last week of July. The
Natal Bank has declared a dividend of 5 per cent.
for the first half of the present year.
The steamer Empress Eugenie, from Madras for
London, put into Table Bay on the 20th of August
for refreshments. The barque Skimmer of the Seas,
from Algoa Bay, put into Simon's Bay on the 21st
of August, and left the same day for London. The
Pauline left Algoa Bay for London on the 15th of
..4.ugust.
