and leaving hima copy Of u, point out all the mo-
lives which speak in favor of an unreserved ac-
ceptance OF the basis on which alone we think il
possible TO put an end 70 The calamilles OF war
which have already cost so many sacrifices and
WHICH must inevitably acquire increased extern
sion. Austria sees in the free acceptance ofthese
bases the only necessary conditions. for a solid
peace, and the chance OF general understanding.
If the cabinet Of 81. Petersburg acceded 10 the
four guarantees IN question, II may rely on our
zeal for the serious representations which we
shall address to the maritime powers in order 10
| induce them 10 open negotiations as soon as pos
| sibe on these basis, and 10 obtain at the same
| time The suspension of military operations. We
once more eonjure the court of Russia TO consider
| the immense importance Of the resolution which
| il is about TO come 10, and il is unnecessary for
| US TO recommend you TO employ all the means in
your power in order 10 that resolution 10 be
IN favor of peace. As the importance of the state
oil affairs will explain the Impotence with which
we await the reply that will be given 10 you by
| the Russian cabinet, beg you 10 transmit il as
| soon as possible.
| The Sailing Of the Allied Fleets for the
Crimea.-The Times in one of lis leading articles,
| says There is every reason 10 believe that on
Saturday, the I'd OF September, the very day when
| the Russian dispatch arrived at Vienna, the ex-
petition of the allied fleets and armies sailed from
Varna for the Crimea. The French battering-
| train which had long been expected, reached the
| Bosphorus on the 2lst OF Angus, and, although
the. army had suffered materially from sickness,
It still remained one of the most powerful bodies
| OF men ever thrown upon the territories of an
enemy At the moment AT which we write we
| may entertain reasonable hope that the feet is
approaching its destination, and that long period
will elapse before learn with certainty that the
expedition to Sebastopol has effected its landing
| in the Crimea.p
According to telegraphic dispatch from Wen
| ma, the Lloyd states that Marshal ST. Arnaud was
| to leave Constantnople on the I'd instant, TO take
| the command of the allied expedition, which by
that time would have arrived at its destination.

lo29the royal yacht was moored alongside and
as soon as the gangway was made his Royal High

each others presence. The splendid band of the
Guards struck up $ God save the Queen" and

Letter from MIR. soule to the Liberal Press
The following letter was addressed TO Mr.. Soule,
the United States Minister at Madrid, to the Com
nittee of the Banquet of The Liberal Press, excus
ing himself from accepting an invitation TO be
present at il:
"Gentlemen II is with regret that find my
self prevented by the extreme dccacy of nv
health from accepting the invitation with which
you have honored me. But this you may be as
sured that should have heartily taken part in the
patriotic banquet destined TO celebrate the irwin
chile constancy with which part of the press of
| Madrid has in these later days known how 70
| unite in the same sentiment, and direct towards
the same object the discordant elements of party
which only required 10 place itself in accord m
! order to triumph over the shameful despoism un-
der which policy, as fastidous as abjecf crushed
the freedom of thought and sti6ed its most legiti-
mate aspirations.
az have have hailed with profound reflection and
with all the ferpor of hoiy enthusiasm the result
which has worthily crowned such noble efforts: il
only remains for me TO offer up my wishes that
those who have so powerfully contributed 10 place
Spain in the glorious path which has Just been
opened 10 her may continue 10 be her indefatiga-
BILE supporters until truth shall be disembarrassed
from all The obstacles which may still obstruct H.

months, what persevering England could achieve
only al the price OF two revolutions, OF a war of
20 years, of despotism Of IL, of change of dv-
| nasties, and Of a century and half Of internal
agitations and struggles. Aid her, gentlemen, in
this task, still more difficult than your own. and
which il is nevertheless necessary that she should
realize, II she wishes 10 place her liberties, and
with her liberties her glory and her future gran
deur, out Of the reach Of the perfdies and the
| treasons which will be attempted against her by
the Sbirri Of tyranny, the assassns paid by power

Madrid, 18th August"
The following are the observations OF the As.
sembiee on the letter Of Mr.. Soule:
/" This letter is not the only manifestation by
which American dplomatists have caused them
selves 10 be spoken Of in these latter days The
Swiss journals give letter, written 10 the Presi.
dent the Federal Council by Mr.. Sanders, con.
suLgeneral Of the United States at London, rela.
| tive 10 the rumor, more or less founded OF con.
cessions which Switzerland had il was said, made
| 10 Austria relative TO the refugees That Mr.
Sanders, in addressing the Swiss Federal Conn
Gil. should express himself relative TO Austria as
he might do in demagogcal meeting in his own
country, is not very astonishing What must as.
tonish is that the misfortune Of the times should
have permitted any government TO subsist in the
midst OF Europe 10 which the demae oqical parry
Of America should have right to address publicly
its fraterna counses. As 10 Mr.. Soule's letter II
is unnecessary TO point out what il contains con
traTy we will not say 10 the principles ofthe yight
Of nations, but to the most SIMPLE ideas Of proprie.
