.s.pst sevastopol, the most important piece OF
intelligence is found 10 an obscure corner ot The
Times, to the following effect; "A letter has

letter in the MoRtew from Constantnopie
shows clearly that the French officers are fully
aware of the risks and perls of the expedition to
the Crimea. The correspondent who seems 20
sneak on authority, openly admits that II may be
impossible TO take SevastOpol before the arrival
of The Russian retniorcements, in which case the
Allied troops would have to reemoork' and the
attack on SevastopOl would be resumed az tae
commencement Of next spring unter different
conditions. This avOwal Of the official French
organ stands in strong opposition TO the sangune
yieys Of the English papers, all Of them being
fully convinced that the Crimel must, in the
course of the autumn, tall into the hands of the
Allies. The Morning Chronicle, the organ OF the
Secretary of War (Sidney Herbert) however,
tikes the same view as tue MondeHr
The expected return of sir Charles Napier aud
his feet from the Baltic, without having achieved
ANYTHING beyond tie capture and destruction oil
Bomarsund shows the wisdom Of the Scandlna-
Wan Governments, who declined TO enter into an
alliance with the western powers, as they were
unable 10 inhict serious damage on the Russians:

The English Custom House returns clearly show
that the exports Of Russia have not declined on

postprandial speeches at the Reform Club. In the
south the campaign is now just beginning, but the
chances of the Gar are far better than those
of the western powers. A few weeks may bring
news of the failure Of+the expedition, Whch
would strongly influence the pOlcy Oi Austria
while victory Of the allies will not accele-
rate the settlement Of the Oriental question. The
DELAYS of the allies have already had serious IN

the succt 70 of the expedition which, ON the ID at

Sir Charles Napier aud of HIS fleet, and the INSULT
cheney of the sham blockade in the Baltic to stop
the commerce of Russia, begin to create serious
dissatisfaction with the Government, even IN the
City. Should the cOup-de-main on Seyastopol iall,
Parliament would BE- called together for an au-
tumnal session. and the coalition Ministry would
be broken up. Prussia begins to 60 more openly
with the Russians, and the popularity OF FRANCIS

As TO Spain, the cerebral fever of Queen Chris
tina teleQraphed last week to London, existed
only in the brain of the telegrapher. She arrived
safely aud in good spirits at Lisbon, aud was re-
ceiyed with royal honOrs by the Spanish Embassa-
dor while even the Regent OF Portugal Is to pay
her a visit Such is the morality OF the men OF
order and family The D'ar'O EsPaaOi, the or
gan of the Moderados, insists upon more ener-
getic measures of repression, and threatens the
public with the bugbear OF Communism. Indeed,
The French comedy of lSIS is closely copied in
Spain EgparterO, who lately discovered that
the liberty of the press was all that was neces
sary for the Spanisrds, and accordingly restricted
the liberty of meeting, now speaks OF the ne
cessity of depressing the abuses oil the press
You are probably aware of the real sense OF such
phrases. We are credbly informed that several
mUbers of the late Administration and even
Sartorius, escaped from Madrid with the con-
nivance OF the present Minister'S who wished to
AVOID State trials and the excitement OF an i'm

despotism are always shielded against the justice
or revenge of the people only the Republicans are
persecuted and beaten down by the men OF Or
''der, Family, Religion and Society" The rule of
the Moderados seems now sufficiently established
in Spain and as soon as Espartero has done the
work of depressing public liberty, ODOnnell and
his reactionsry friends will get rid of him and try
10 pave the way for restoration OF Count
Hontemolin.
The King of Prussia is TO increase his army by
one-third on the LIST of October by retaining i'll the
ranks the class of 1851 which was to be dis
charged this autumn; while the class of 1904 now
comes in. The royal order, issued 10 that effect
10 taken al Vienna for sign OF a more determined
policy; and the premium on silver which had
lately risen to 90 per cent, has therefore again
declined "a per cent. The increase OF all the con-
hnental armies entails heavy expenses upon the
empty treasures ofthe halfbankrupt governments,

that the emigration from the European continent
will be increased in the same ratio the taxes,
the pressure of which day by day drives thousands
across the ocean. Europe is by degrees trans
ferred to America, just as Asia in ancient times
transferred 10 Europe
So great is the de arth of foreign Intelligence
that the London papers, in order to fill their col
umns are once more reproducing the Convention
between Austria aud the Porte, and discussing
the question of the bakers profits, In consequence
of the bread riots at Kidderminster and Noting
ham. On the continent several bread riots have
likewise happened. but they are not of any i'm.
portance. The cholera is progressing in London,
but II is TO be hoped that the equnoctia gales
which have set in, will disperse the miasma. The
niles and Sicily are severely visited by the fearful
disease, which has also just reached Liverpool.
