any moment they think proper. All they have
to do is to proclaim b. d issolution of the Union—
to declare that they will no longer hold friendly
intercourse with the piratical invaders of S.ansai,
and all they require will be accomplished.
The slaveowuers will speedily be compelled
"to eat humble pie," and to endeavour to make
the best terms they can in order to break their
fall. So long as the Northerns sanction the
existing state of affairs they are practically re-
sponsible for all the iniquities of the " Domestic
Institution." Without their participation it
would fall by its own weight ; it could not long
survive the trials to which it would be el:posed ;
and the temporary triumph of the slave owners,
and the undue partiality of the PIERCE Govern-
11,ent, may possibly be the greatest advantage to
the cause of suffering humanity. They have ren-
dered a crisis inevitable, and that must be fatal to
the principle of compulsory servitude.
At present, according to the dictum, of Messrs.
PIERCE, MARCY, DAVIS, and Co., the Free-soilers
are " rebels and insurgents." But what will
they be in three months time? They must either
change their position in the State or separate.
There is no other alternative, unless they are
prepared to sacrifice their honour and independ-
ence by conniving at the foul and abominable
system which their souls abhor. Whatever course
they decide on must forthwith be adopted. The
superior activity of their opponents has hitherto
placed them in the best position. But we are
greatly deceived if the Northern determination
be not eventually more than a match for Southern
ntrigue and arrogance.

The impending despatch of an Anglo-French
squadron to the Bay of Naples suggests to us
the somewhat vague promise of the grandiloquent
showman to his gaping audience, " You shall see
what you shall see." Not that we have the
shadow of a doubt as to the good effects such a
demonstration, if made with an honest purpose, is
calculated to produce. Far from it. All along
the despatch in question has been urged in these
columns. The only doubt, and a serious one it
is, that clouds our minds is as to the intentions
of what a French contemporary is pleased to de-
scribe as " the Allied Courts." What are the ob-
jects contemplated in the intervention, as it must
be regarded ? What are likely to be the results ?
It is in reply to these questions we are tempted
to apply the words of the showman, and hazard,
as we may safely do, the prediction, " You shall
see what you shall see t"
The English Government may probably be
credited with some sort of philanthropic feeling
in the matter, as one, though far from the only
e* chief, motive for action. It might pass for a
qualified insult, if we said no such motive can be
supposed in the least to influence our Imperial
ally. We come then to the insults offered to
both " Courts," and here we should discover a
powerful motive to conjoint action, had we not
been assured that France and England were
above any insult BONLBA could offer—an assertion
apparently verified by a most patient endur-
ance of an uninterrupted series of insults.
We are led, therefore, to a consideration of the
danger King BOMBA. occasions to the peace of
Europe by perseverance in the revolting cruelties
and oppression which have consigned his name to
universal infamy, and enlisted on behalf of his sub-
jects the sympathies of one-half of the human
race ; and here we find an adequate motive for
Napoleonic and Pa.lmerstouian intervention, were
there no other, for it is a selfish one. The peace
of Europe undoubtedly is endangered by the ob-
stinacy of the tyrant, for at any moment the
Same of insurrection way burst out at Naples,
and on that parched prairie to which despotism
has converted the continent the fire might spread
with the velocity of the tempest, and en wrap all

despots and despotisms with its consuming
wings. Doubtless it is this motive which has
induced the Emperor NAPOLEON to join his forces
with ours, though possibly his Spanish policy
may have had some influence. A sagacious des-
pot will never be without sops for freemen. Let
me alone here, and I'll join you there, may have
been one of the conditions to the conjoint action
of " the Allied Courts."

The motive being selfish, and the peace of
Europe being meant, at the utmost latitude of
interpretation, to imply the preservation of its
despotisms, what have the Neapolitans to look
for at the hands of " the Allied Courts ?" there
is some significancy in the expression, even corn-
ing from th• Dirbats. Liberty ? Bosh. That must
COME) from themselves. What the Neapolitans
would seem to be entitled, under the circumstances,
to expect is, either the momentary submission of
their tyrant to the requirements of the Allied
Courts, under the pressure of coward fear—or,
in the event of a successful revolt, the substitu-
tion of a milder despotic sway, without their
being much consulted in•the choice. The proba-
bility is that their execrable tyrant, after a little
dallying, will "do the penitent"—issue an am•
nesty—promise to "be good" for the future—
and, after " taking a sight" at the retreating

fleets, will resort gradually to his old practices,
i. e., if the people be now quiet, and no great
Dalian movement interveno. This view is
favoured by the appearance of an Austrian En coy
at the Neapolitan Court. None know better
than Austria and her ducal sycophants, COBURGS,
and what not, how to interpose the diplomatic
shield between , a tyrant and the ministers of
justice. Austria is certainly at her dirty work.
If the Neapolitans understand their own inte-

rests they will avail themselves to the utmost of
the present opportunity, and rise in arms against
their tyrant. The more they do for themselves
the more they will assuredly gain. Their ex-
ample may be followed throughout Italy, in which
case they may be enabled to dispense with foreign
ilictation as to their future. Should this hope
fail the more imposing their attitude is, the more
liberal will be the form of Government tendered
for their acceptance. Of one thing let them rest
assured—the EMPEROR, our ally, does not contem-
plate their having, if any plausible excuse of his
can prevent it, any more liberty than is possessed
by his subjects. England, to be sure, ought to
have something to say in the matter—that she
shall, depends on the people of the Two Sicilies.
Let them but command by their attitude the
respect and sympathy of Englishmen, and Lord
PALMERSTON will have to go further than, in all
probability, he intended. The great defect,
unfortunately, in the Italian movement is the
absence of accord in relation to the future. The
truest patriot is he who is prepared to subordi-
nate his preferences to the general wish, and th•
most injurious ally lie who would force the
views of a minority on the majority.

RUSSIA.
(Prom the Times' Correspondent.)
MOSCOW, SUNDAY, Sept. 14.
To-day there was apatite levee at the Kremlin, a._
which the clergy and many of the Boyards paid
their respects to the Czar and the Czarina. The
ceremonies and rejoicings and shows to celebrate
the Coronation will occupy the whole of the month
till the 30th, and the programme thus arranges
them :—Monday, 15th, Dinner to Ambassadors ;

Dinner to the Army, given by the merchants of

ner. 28th, Marshal of the Coronation's ball, tc.
29th, Ambassadors' dinner. 30th,. The grand
fete of fireworks and final illumination. It will
be observed by this list that the " people" are
more considered in Russia than one could have
expected ; and, indeed, it has been the subject
of general remark here among strangers that
the lower orders are allowed great freedom in their
approach to the person of the Czar, and in all
shows and ceremonies. I fear a bal masque for
the people at Buckingham Palace would be rather
a turbulent affair, but there is no great chance of
the truth of the apprehension being tested. It
somewhat contrasts with this freedom to read in
the papers which have just arrived from Eng-
land of the railing off and barricading the people
at the various railway stations during her Ma-
jesty's progress northwards, and it makes one
regret that such restraints should be necessary
to insure the Queen from annoyance and unbe-
coming pressure when she leaves her palace. The
courts of the Kremlin are crowded all day by
the poorest peasantry, but so far from crushing
and squeezing to get near the Imperial family
there is a perfect propriety of demeanour
i among them all when the Czar or any of the
Romanoffs appear; every head is uncovered, and a
chorus of voices exclaim, "Long live the Czar," or
whoever it may be, but no one attempts to rushfor-
ward and stare curiously at them, or to cause them

any inconvenience by undue familiarity. It is, per-
haps, because they are allowed such freedom—.be-
cause there is a thoroughfare through the courts of
the Kremlin, only one, a small enclosure railed off
from the palace, being forbidden to carriages—that
such decency is preserved. Indeed, the Kremlin is
a kind of popular lounge, and the poor mujik
saunters in there to gaze on the beautiful panorama
spread out before him, or to wait long hours in the
hopes of feasting his eyes on the Emperor, just as
the denizen of St. Giles seeks a relief from his
dreary room in the splendour and excitement of
the gin palace. At reviews he stands in the front
line, amid generals, officers, ladies, and nobles, be-
having himself properly, with a quiet satisfaction
and enjoyment.
It was just this very day two years ago that the
Allies landed at Old Forb, and were rudely inaugu-
rated into the business of campaigning by bivouack-
ing on the bare plain without any tents, under a
tremendous fall of rain, which still further developed
the fatal influences of the cholera among them.
Little any one of them ever thought that he would
have been fiddling and dancing away in a friendly
manner in the Palace of the Kremlin so soon after-
wards. It was a few hours later than this that the
Czar received at first with incredulity, and then
with an anger and astonishment which shook that
giant frame like a child's, the news of the descent
on the Crimea. Bursting into the Empress's
apartment, he exclaimed, " This, this is more
than a man can bear 1" for up to the last he had
neglected the warnings and entreaties of Prince
Menschikoff, and had obstinately insisted that
the Allies would operate on the Danube, and
not against Sebastopol. His pride, his self-
confidence had received a rude shock—his
Guards were in Poland, his armies were gather-
ing on the frontier, and suddenly an active
enemy strikes him where he was least prepared
and little expected the blow. Yet a few months
more and his son announces to him the ar-
rival of a messenger wit`it despatches of importance
from the Crimea. "They are nothing to me
now," feebly articulates the Emperor ; " I have
made my peace, I trust, with Heaven, and I have
no more to do with the affairs of this world ; open,
read them, and do as you think best.". So great
was his self-control that he did- not make an
inquiry as to their contents, although they related
to the matters which had interested him and
affected him most in the course of a long and
not uneventful reign. Oh si sic omnia. The
peculiar circumstances of the late Czar's death
have attached to it a melancholy interest in the
eyes of his people, and they show it on all occa-
sions by their profound respect for his widow.
Wherever the Empress Mother appears she is re-
ceived with every demonstration of affection and
regard. People recollect her affection for the
Cz tr, her excellent qualities as a wife and as a
mother, and her virtues of patience and love,
sometimes, as in the case of the poorest, severely
tried and tested is rude encounters. Since the

The day before the coronation all admission
was refused to the Church of the Kremlin, but I
managed, nevertheless, through the kindness of a
general officer, to get in to have a glimpse of the
splendour prepared for the morrow. It was like a
peep behind the scenes of a theatre —rough artizans
were still at work planing wood, hammering, and
chopping in the sacred edifice—ships lay on the
holy seat of the metropolitan—the floor was here
and there littered with tag ends of velvet and gold
brocade—the thronesthemselves. But hark! there
is a noise at the outer gate of the church, and a
faint roll of drums. The attendant runs to unbar
the door, and presently there enters, borne in a
chair by four servants in the Imperial livery, an
elderly lady, whose countenance is marked with
a meAanoholy resignation, and the traces of suffer-
ing and disease. A few officers and chamberlains

follow her—the chair is gently Oiet down close to
the Imperial throne ; the lady closes her eyes and
seems to prai ferteutly. What visions may arise in
this silent church before those dimmed orbs t When
last she was here it was to receive the crown of an
Empress from the hands of the departed Ccesar.
Gently clasping her hands she turns her eyes up-
wards, looks around the blaze of gold and finery,
and, as if satisfied with one glance, beckons to her
servants to take up the chair, and is carried out
of the church in silence. The care and motherly
love of the Empress-Dowager is rewarded by the
affection of the Czar and of all her children.
There is some talk of thc..), Imperial family remain-
ing in Moscow, or rather of their visiting it more
frequently than they used to do in the lifetime
of Nicholas. Nothing could be more grateful to
the old Muscovite party ; but it is thought that
' if the present Emperor carried out the intention
attributed to him, it certainly would not be
from any desire to win the favour of the
high Conservative and obstructive section of
his subjects, who hate peace, and railways, trade,
commerce, and are opposed to all internal im-
proTement. It would not be wonderful, indeed,
if a man got tired of St. Petersburg—its quays,
it long straight streets, half deserted, its Neva,
and its population of soldiers, sailors, and civil
employes. To the Russian there is a historic inte-
rest attached to the Kremlin and to Moscow which
its rival can never excite. It is the cradle of his
glory, the palladium of his race.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15.

The ball last night was very brilliant and well
attended. Lord and Lady Granville, and the
other members of the English Embassy were pre-
sent, with the exception of the Marquis of Stafford
and Sir R. Peel. In addition to the dancing there
was whist-playing, ecarte, and lansquenet for those
who liked it. The Emperor was unusually affable
and unreserved, and spoke to most of the Minis-
ters, particularly M. de Morny, at some length.
The deputations from the various Governments,
in presenting bread and salt to the Emperor on
his coronation, offered them on gold salvers and
dishes. About 400 of these were laid before his
Majesty on Sunday week ; and it is estimated
that the total value of the gold and silver is not
less than 5,000,000 silver rubles.

FRANCE.
PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.
The French ultimatum addressed to Naples, if
not already despatched, is certainly on the eve of
departure. It is ready, if not sent. It is said
that some faint hope is founded on Baron Hilbner's
intercession, but it is very slight, and shared by
fot. The tone of the Paris papers of to-day shows
that the belief is general that France and England
have abandoned fruitless remonstrances for positive
demonstrations. It is stated that Ajaccio is to be
the rendezvous of the combined squadrons, and
that the French ships will leave Toulon imme-
diately. They consist of the Bretagne, carrying
the flag of Admiral Trehouart, the Ulm, Algeciras,
Napoleon, ships of the line, and of the Isly, Du-
chayla, and Were, steam-frigates and corvettes.

DRURr_LANE THEATRA

Last eVening the " bill" of Old Drury presented a
double attraction. It consisted of Sheridan Knowles'
play of "Love," with Mrs. Waller as the countess, and
a new bttrlesque founded on Bheridan's play of "Pizarro."
The attraction in the first instance, to us, was the per-
formance of the lady, certainly not the play, for we ens-
sider ' Love'l to be one of Sheridan Knowlee's failures.
In sustaining the part of the proud countess Mrs.
Waller exhibited great taste and feeling, albeit, we
think, she scarcely gave her passion " rein enough ;"
but, taken as a whol,:, the performance was a delightful
and pleasing one. Mr. B. Sullivan sustained the part
of loon very excellently ; but with this character we
find the same fault as with that of the coun-
%ess, namely, its want of filling up. The play
s followed by the burlesque, which, with such a
could scarcely fail to meet with decided success.
„line Keeley as Pizarro, attired in black velvet, with
breastplate, helmet, and gauntlets, and a pair of
,mreenTo leather boots ; and Mrs. Keeley, in a sky-blue
over-coat lined with crimson, as Rolla. The applause
and laughter that greeted both of these talented artistes
can be easily guessed. Tho other parts of the burlesque
were cleverly sustained by Mrs. Frank Matthews, Miss
Cleveland, and Mr. G. Honey. The plot of the original
play has been closely followed by the author, and had a
little originality been introduced into the burlesque it
would not have suffered by it. The scenery was exceed.
ingly beautiful, and the evolutions of the female army
of Peruvian warriors was rapturously applauded. The
house was fully and fashionably attended.

ENGLAND, FRANCE, AND NAPLES.

The itoutntt/ deg Debuts of yesterday contains the
subjoined retriatits on the demonstration about to
be made in the IJay of Naples !--)5, a combined Eng-
lish and French squadron i--;
"We are informed that the piece of rendezvous for the
English and French forces will he at Ajaccio. Tomor-
row or the day after the French fleet will quit Toulon.
One of the ships will carry a tlaurier of the Ni.inistry of
Foreign Affairs, bearing instruction to M. Brenier.
After the response, already anticipates beg been made
to the ,'leroands /authorised by these instructions, diplo-
matic relations will be entirely suspended. IT, Brenier
will retire cn board the Allied fleet, which will :make
arrangements to remain in the They of Naples, with 00
object of protecting the national interocie,
"The King of Naples has left his capital, and is
sojourning at Gaeta ;: it is there, it is said, that ho will
receive the representations of the allied Powers."

" The language of the representatives of France and
England was of a character to excite hopes the more
readily received inasmuch as they were unexpected. At
the, same time it was merely wise not to indulge them too
freely, for it was clear that in proportion as Austria con-
curred in the proceeding no serious benefit could accrue
to the Italian population. The attempt at remonstrance
was made by the Western Powers ; and it appears that
they had recourse to the good offices of Austria to act
upon the Neapolitan Government. The attempt has
failed, and the Governments of France and England
have now determined to act alone."

" It is said that in a few days the 2lfoniteur will pub-
lish a note to show the object and meaning of the resolu-
tion taken by the allied Courts. That note will probably
be couched in terms not of a character to encourage any
revolutionary movement. It is probable that it will re ,
semble the language held by Lord Clarendon and Count
Walewski in tue Congress, and that it will repeat the
statement that the two Courts interfere in the affairs of
Naples entirely in a conservative spirit, and to maintain
and not to disturb European order—in fact, the inter-
vention will be an energetic protest against all attempts
at disorder.
" The menace to the King of Naples will not be per-
haps as serious as it appears, and the demonstration of
the two Powers will doubtless retain for a long time a
negative character. If that demonstration has been
unexpectedly hastened, we must attribute it perhaps to
those Parliamentary exigencies which the English Mi-
nister has to take into account."

A NEW DANUBIAN DIFFICULTY.

It has been already mentioned that great opposi-
tion had been made by the Austrian government to
the concession granted to Captain Magnan by
Prince Ghika before his removal from power, for a
line of French steamers to run on the Pruth and
the Sereth, and that the Porte has since cancelled
the permission given. The following is a letter
addressed on the Bth August by M. Thouvenel, the
French ambassador at Constantinople, to his drago-
man (through whom the communications from the
French embassy to the Porte are made), on his
learning that the Austrian consul at Jassy had, by
order of Count Buol, applied to the new caimacau
of Moldavia to revoke the concession :
" I request you to wait on Fuad Pacha, and in case of
need on the Grand Vizier, and to inform him of the ob-
servations with which this proceeding has inspired me.
I shall not here examine the value of the contract which
forms the security of Captain Magnan ; all that I have
to say is that very respectable French interests are in-
volved in it, and that I must, until I receive more ample
information, consider the contract as legitimate, since it
emanates not only from the will of Prince Ghika, but
has been again ratified by a council of ministers who
seriously discussed the matter before replying to the com-
munication of the Austrian consul at Jassy. The essen-
tial question is not entirely in the maintenance or annul-
ment of the privilege granted to Capt. Magnan, but more
particularly in the arguments brought forward by the
Cabinet of Vienna and the line of proceeding recommended
to the Porte. If the treaty of the 30th March is to be
understood in this sense, that the free navigation of
the Danube requires that two tributary streams of
that river, which, it is true, have their source out of
Moldavia, but are only navigable on that territory, are
to be subjected absolutely to the same regime, such a
principle, in order to be admitted, requires the assent of
the majority of the contracting powers ; and France, in
particular, has the more right to be consulted that the
discussion has been raised in connection with a native of
that country. I may add that in presence of the clear
and positive text of Article 23 of the treaty of Paris, the
Porte itself resigns the right of annulling by a firman or
by an order of any kind as internal administrative mea-
sure adopted at Bucharest or at Jassy, and I could not
have for a moment believed that it would have had an
idea of following the plan of proceeding suggested to it.
The administrative independence of the Principalities
would be nothing more than an empty and senseless
word, if each of the powers which have constituted
themselves the guarantee of the new order of things
could isolatedly claim an intervention on the part of the
suzerain power in the internal affairs of the vassal pro-
vinces. The position in which they are placed does not
doubtless confer upon them the power of setting at nought
the obligations imposed on them as the very condition of
their existence, but the treaty of the 30th of March pro-
tects them from any particular interference. In order
for that interference to be legitimate, the facts which in
duced it should have been examined by all the guaran•
teeing powers, and the majority of them should leave de-
clared the case to be sufficiently serious to necessitate a
direct proceeding on the part of the Sublime Porte.
This right does not belong to one of the powers to the
exclusion of the others. I request you to point out these
considerations to his Excellency Fuad Pacha, to whom I
authorise you to give a copy of your instructions to
Aali Pacha."

NEIV RUSSIAN STEAM NAVIGATION

COMPA IVIES.

ST. PETERSBURG, SEPT. 13.

The Emperor has just confirmed the organic statutes
of three steam navigation companies, de-tined to faci-
litate trade and industry in the south of Russia. The
Russian merchant navy is about to be greatly increased
in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. _ _ _

The " Russian Company of Navigation and Trade,"
specially created for the south of Russia, is founded on
the plan of the Russo-American Company, under the
protection of his Majesty Alexander 11.
This company engages to maintain communications :-
1. Between Odessa, Constantinople, Athens, Smyrna,
Rhodes, Alexandretta, Beyruth, Jaffa, and Alexandria
(three voyages per month.) Should a commercial de-
mand arise, the vessels will touch at other places also
along the route.
2. Between Odessa, Yalta, Redout-Kaleh, Kertch and
along the coasts of the Caucasian country (three times
a month.) This line will be hereafter extended to the
ports on the coast of Anatolia as far as Constantinople,
where the boats performing the service will meet other
steamers belonging to a line established between Odessa
and Galatz, there to ply along the coasts of Roumelia
as far as Constantinople.
3. Between Odessa and Galatz, t9uching at the
Salina, at Ismail, Reni, and other ports in the Danube,
ones a week.
4. Between Odessa, Eupatoria, Sebastopol, Yalta,
Theodosia, and Kest* once a week.
5. Between Odessa, Kinhourn, Otchakoff, and Nice-
laieff, up the river Boug, once a week.
6. Between Odessa, Kinbourn, Otchakoff, and Kher•
sen, up the Dnieper, once a week.
7. Between Kertch, Marianpol, Berdiansk, Eisk, and
Taganrog, once a week.
8. Between Kertch and Taman, several times a day.
9. Between Ovidiopol and Ackerman, on the liman or
estuary of the Dniester, as often as may be required.
10. Between Odessa, Constantinople, the Pirmus,
Messina, Naples, Leghorn, Genoa, and Marseilles,
about 18 voyages a year. Should it be necessary, the
company's steamers will also touch at other ports situate
between the ports above mentioned.
11. Between Odessa, Constantinople, Zante, Cepha-
lonia, Corfu, and the towns of Ancona and Trieste, about
18 voyages a year.
All these lines of circulation will be opened as fast as
the steamers are built, but are to be in full operation
before the end of five years.
Moreover, this company has the privilege of establish-
ing a system of tags on the rivers Dnieper, Boug, and
Don. The capital of the company is fixed for the pre-
sent at six million silver roubles, divided into 20,000
shares, but it may be raised to nine millions. The Go-
vernment takes 6,670 shares for 2,000,000 silver roubles,
paying the half of this sum down and the other half
within 12 months.
At the head of this company stands its founders, the
Emperor's aide-de-camp, Captain Nicholas Arkass, and
Collegiate Councillor Nicholas Novossitski. The statutes
are signed by Count Orloff, the Grand Duke Constantine,
Counts Perovski, Lanskoi, General Soukhosaeet,Tcheff-
kine, Brok Baron Wrangel, Nozoff, Gortschakoff,
Gainalie, Illitcheffski, and Count Golenichtcheff, Kou-
tousoff, members of the ministerial committee.
All these names, and the advantages secured to the

Crimean war and the treaty of Paris, our military navy
in the Black Sea has been annihilated, intends construct•
ing a formidable merchant steam-navy, that will keep
not merely our populations of the south constantly

events would likewise enable us to transport troops no

THE SHREWSBURY ESTATES.—JOHN SADLEIR._There
is no foundation for the statement which has appeared
in our morning wmtemporaries, that the Earl of Shrews.
bury, recently deceased, bequeathed his estates to the
disposition of the late John Sadleir. Previously to
leaving England, the noble Earl, it is understood,
made a temporary will, placing his property, in the
event of his death during his continental residence, in
trust for strictly Roman Catholic charitable and educa-
tional objects, at the disposal of several noblemen and
gentlemen ; among whom were included the present
Duke of Norfolk, Sir Thomas Redington, formerly
Under-Secretary for Ireland, and John Sadleir—the
latter of whom, at the time the bequest was made,
occupied a distinguished position in the House of Com-
mons, by his leadership of the opposition offered by the
Roman Catholic members to the passing of the Eccle-
siastical Titles Bill.—Advertinr,
