issued at tlas time contained European ne vs. u
10 the 5th. which was brought by the steamship
Ottawa to Quebec, consequently the advices by the
Atlantic only later by one day. We have as yet
nothing of decisive character from the ssat Of
war. No movement had taken place at Varna up
70 the 2lst Of August, but letters from CONSTANT
Aople Of the 25th Of that month state that q
large force of artillery had been already embarked
there and that q body Of infantry ard cavalry was
euder orders to proceed to sea. IL was supposed
that their destination Was towards the Crmea; but
she allied troops were SO dishearteped by delays
and 20 debiltated by disease, that it was MT uu
hlely the long talkecof expedition would be abar.
doned in the end.
It is confirmed that the Emperor Nicholas had
absolutely rejected the four propositions lately pre-
scented by Austria and Prussia as q basis of peace
negotiations. Prince Gortschakof announced this
decision to Count Buol at Vienna early on Monday,
Che Alb instant, and it was supposed that similar
communication had been made to the King of Pru4
nia by General BenckeIdorf. Notwithstanding all
Shis it was thought that Austria would not declare
war against Rassia but raise her army of occupation
in the Princiralihes to one hundred thousand men
. step which the real friends of Turkey speak OF
with much suspicion as to its ultimate effect DER
interests. We publish the Austrian and Prussian
notes which were presented to the Gear.
Madrid remained tranquil, although some res,
tiOnary demonstrations were made against the rs
partero government On the occasion OF an at
tempt TO dissolve the revolutionary clubs. This
was accomplished by q royal decree. The
Queen Mother left Mairid on August 23ta
en- route to Portugal, the Queen conssnting 30
her Punishment. An article in the London Gi,be
treats tie financial embarrassments Of Spain, with
relation TO the United States, very cautiously and
announces the departure Of Mr.. Daniel Il. Sickles
Secretary Of The American legation from London
for N sdrid.
Louis Napoleon had inangurated the assembling
of his grand military camp at Boulogne with una.
Eual splendor. He took the command of one hun.
dsed thousand in person, and was visited BY
the King of Belgium the Duke de Brabant, the
King # Portugal, and Prince Albert, OF England,
each of whom Wed with the other in their desire to
psy respect to the French Emperor; but whether
the homage was rendered to the man, his military
skill, or the number of his troops, is not clearly
stated.
On Tuesday evening, September 4th, the Liver
pool cotton market was steady. but the demand was
slack, owing chiefly to the confidence which mani
Tested itself ia the market. The sales amounted
TO 5000 bales, Of which the trade took 4O0O and
exporters aud spectators 1000 bales. Breadstuffs
were fiImer, and consols had slightly declined.
FLEECING IMMIGRANTS.
The disgracefu practice Of plundering foreigners,
particularly Germans on their arrival in this coun
try, still continues to an alarming extent, and daily
complaints are made before the Mayor of the divers
tricks and devices used to obtain even the last
farthing from those who are unfortunate enough to
fall into the hands of theRe harpies. The principals
in ire latest as veil as the most barefaced and iu
genious swindles, were arrested yesterday, unier
the dire Of one of the Mayors officers, on the
complaint OF an immigrant whom they had feeced
out of $500. For report of this curious transac
ton an several other interesting police matters We
would refer our readers to another column.
