TIIIIKET. —The great expedition to the Crimea has accomplished One section of its progress to 'Sebastopol in safety: 58,000 troops have been landed at Eupatorie.. On Thursday afternoon, the following despatch, furnished by the Minister at War, was published in the London journals

" Telegraphic accounts have been received by her Majesty's Government from Vienna and Bucharest, announcing that the Allied forces, consistipgpf 25,000 English, 25,000 French, and 8060 Turkish troops, landed on the JO at Eupatoria, without Meeting any resistance, and had commenced marclieg on Sebastopol."

The course of the fleet from Baltehlli first led them to the rendezvous at Serpent's Island; thence they steered for Cape Tedrow, the most Westerly point of the -Crimea ; and from Cape Tarkan they proceeded along the shore to the roadstead of Eupatoria or Ichoslov, and theme dis- embarked without resistance. The march of the troops from this point towards the interior would be along an iatlimus,ihaving the salt likes on its Northern and the sea. on its Southern side. At the head of the isthmns is.the main road leading upon Simpheropol. But whether the troops would proceed to Sebastopol by that route, or by the coast route, followed by the Russian Marshal Munich in 1736, we cannot say, as there are no present materials for arriving at any conclusion. The news of the land- ing to some extent throws the embarkation at Varna into the shade ; brit some of the details are nevertheless of very great interest, and are even necessary to a full comprehension of the magi:1.114de Of the transaction.

An enthusiastic officer, writing from Varna on the 4th instant, says-

" We broke up our encampment on Thursday last at five a. tn., and at nine we were all on board. Our General is with us and all his staff, and with ourselves we number more than forty offiters—a, pretty large family party it is. The embarkation has been going on for more than a week ; and such a scene I never before witnessed, nor indeed has any one here, for the ex- pedition is on a more gigantic scale than any ever before attempted. Inde- pendently of our fleets, the hired steam-fleet is the wonder of every one. These are filled with troops and stores. TheHimalaya, Simla, Jason, and Victoria, have each more than a regiment of dragoons on board. Every large steamer has its regiment of nearly 800 strong, while others are filled with stores of every description. The scene in Varna Bay during the whole of the last ten days has been one of unparalleled magnifieence and exciting in the extreme. On one steam-tug you will-see artillery wending their way to their ships. Then an infantry regiment crammed on board a small Da- nubian steamer, puffing along to a transport with its living cargo. On the way, a ship with her troops already embarked is passed, and then there is such a cheer set up: and to ship-load after ship-load is - embarked; and at this hour the last corps are awaiting' the return of the tugs to be taken on board. They are the Thirteenth and Seventeenth Light Dragoons, and the Thirty-eighth and Fiftieth Regiments of Foot. . . . • Admiral Lyons has all the management of the embarkation : he is nest to Dundee. I have just seen' a sketch of the plan of attack on the Crimea. One has been given to each ship, transport, and-man-Of:War, in order that they may know their positions. We are all to land in bciats together—tugged on shore. The Light Division goes first, to clear' 'the way for us. The plans have been drawn by Admiral Lyons's firat Lieutenant.. . . . Since writing the above, the orders are out for 'the invasion of the Crimea.' We land exactly as the plan shows, and two places are awes named for the huiditir-- one seven and the other fifteen miles ItumiktabitstoPols We shall beat it before you receive this. We take three days' cooked , premiers and water with us on landing. We are .now getting ready to start What cheering and bands playing as the ships move off 1",/ The special correspondent of .the Morning Post writes, on the 3d—

"I write at a mome t whenallhearts are beating high with the excitement created by the late, and, it may be added, Scarcely expected fulfilment of the hope which sustained the British and French armlea amid the sorrows and

"We seem to have recovered our spirits ss if by magic, and soon hope to realize all that may be expected from so formidable an expedition, composed of men bent on doing their best." The Morning Chronicle special correspondent stationed himself at Balt- sbik ; whence he writes, on the 4th— "Every hour brings more French transports, to embark the troops which are now encamped on the Mlle sloping down to the sea. In nothing does our naval superiority show itself more decidedly than in the transports of the two nations ; all sorts of craft, from a fishing-smack upwards, hoisting the colours of all nations, from the cross-keys to the tricolor, bearing the 'seeps of our allies. This morning the signal, 'Prepare for sea,' was made by the Commander-in-chief, and we expect to leave about the 6th. The two fleets from Varna and Baltchik will meet, and then proceed in company. The fleet will, as far as I can ascertain, consist of 31 sail of the line-15 French, 10 English, and 6 Turkish; 40 steam-frigates, of which by far the

i greater part are English; and 5 sailing-frigates. Accompanying these will be 70 steam-transports, and about 100 sailing ones. The fleet will first run for Fidonosi, proceeding along a certain line of soundings the whole way, in order that should the weather render it necessary the transports may be able to anchor ; they will then advance along the Bessarabian coast, moat pro- bably as far as Akerman, and then stretch across towards Eupatoria. Thir- teen sail of the line and thirteen steam-frigates are to be kept clear for ac- tion, lest the enemy should make any attack on the transport fleet. Of these, seven liners and seven stearaers are English; the rest all carry a pro- portion of troops, I hear 200, besides pontoons and other requisites for land- ing troops."

The Times special correspondent gives full information as to the order in which the ships will sail, each division of troops in its separate division of ships, with separate distinguishing pendant-

" The arrangements for the conveyance of the troops to their destination," he says, are of the largest and most perfect character ; and when all the transports have united they will display to the gaze of the enemy an armada ef no less than 600 vessels, covered and protected on every side by a fleet with a battery of 3000 pieces of artillery, and manned by the bravest sea- men in the world. What preparations our French allies are making I am not in a position to state ; but I believe they will not be able, notwithstand- standing every effort they may put forth, to move more than 22,000 men at present. They make the moat of their limited resources, certainly. They have a complete shore administration for the fleet of transports, and their 'Direction du Port,' Iwith its officers and men inspecting every pier and re- gulating the moorings and movements of every little boat, is admirable in its way ; but., unfortunately, there is a want of material to work upon. Their vessels are the sweepings of French and Italian ports, schooners and brigs from Agde, Nouvelle, Cette, Leghorn, Genoa, Bastia, &c. ; and, al- though they cram them as auseh as human nature and French soldiers can bear the process, they.cannotcany the army. They Must return, therefore, after they have landed one cargo to get the other. On the other hand, we have a fleet of transports at unparalleled magnitude; and the arrangements for their management are of corresponding excellence, so far as I can judge."

This correspondent speaks in another passage of the destination of the troops— "It would appear that the place of disembarkation has not yet been fixed on, for the very good reason that they will be landed where there is the least appearance of successful opposition, Lord Raglan is close to a degree : he consults none of his Generals, save perhaps that he takes into his confi- dence Sir George Brown, who knows how to keep a secret as well as his chief. When people at home read of councils of war being held at Varna, they must not imagine that all the Generals of Division attend them. In fact, these conferences, at which no doubt large political and strategical con- siderations are held in view rather than the details of military operations, are usually confined to Lord Raglan, Admiral Sir E. Lyons, sometimes Ad- miral Dundas if he happens to be down here, Sir George Brown now and then, by invitation, Marshal St Arnaud, Admiral Hamelin or Rear-Admiral Brunt, and General Canrobert. . . . . It is probable that the landing will take plaoe at a considerable distance from Sebastopol ; and I am firmly per- suaded that the patience of people at home who are hungering and thirsting for the fail of Sebastopol' will be severely tried, and that the chances are a little against the incidents of its capture being ready by Christmas for re- petition at Astley's."

The whole strength of the Allies, at present landed, would appear to be between 50,000 and 60,000 men. A German journal, entitled to more than usual confidence, estimates the Russian garrison in Sebastopol at 10,000 men besides the crews of the ships; it places 24,000 men at Bachteserai, and divides 24,000 between Simpheropol, liarasu-Bazar, and Theodosia. The .Moniteur de la Flotte estimates the entire force of the army at 58,000 men. A letter from Odessa, dated the 7th instant, is of great interest-

" Prince Mensehikoff has exhausted all means of defence in order to render Sebastopol impregnable as well from the land as from the sea side. Between Sebastopol and Balaklava thereare five strong detached forts, which are garrisoned by a euflioient number of troops. The road from Balaklava to Yalta is rendered impassable, and partly mined. The coast between Sebastopol and Eupatoria is defended. at -unequal distances by batteries con- sisting of six howitzers. There are three forts at Eupatona, one on the North, a second on the East, and a third on the West side. That place is garrisoned by 15,000 men. The heights in front of Sebastopol, which are encircled by redoubts and trenchea, are armed with eighteen batteries and defended by 20,000 Men. The garrison of Sebastopol is only 10,000 strong ; but, if we add to this number the crew of the fleet, the fortress is defended by 2.5,000 men. Prince Menschikoff issued a proclamation on the 3d, in which he prepared the people for s resistance to the very last. I am unable to give you the.proclamation literally, but I can give you the sense of it as it was communicated to me by a friend. The Prince first enumerates all the vietories gained by the Russians in the course of this century, and then calls on his soldiers to-show theasselea equal to their predecessors in bravery and power of endurance. If-the enemy, as a consequenee of the inscrutable will of Heaven, should-obtain a victory, then let the whole store of powder go with him into the air. The conclusion of the proclamation is, 'Rather let us die than surrender-to the enemy." A great deal of surprise hatheen.expressed at the fact that the French have only carried- 20,000 or '24,000- men into the field, while the British force is nearly 30,001k (.:It is sgaii? Sabi that the French losses by disease amount to 10,000 men ; and it m.added that their numbers originally were much exaggerated. It natisrbi remembered, however, that a large body of French soldiers were tolie conireyed by transports returning from Eupatoria for that purpose.

Among the stories. at Varna, is one that a Russian steamer entered the bay under false colour:yam} bent a boat among the ships to see what was going on. Another is, that a RussianGenend had been arrested as a spy.

The iilittnictions Laded by Lord Raglan to the troops before quitting

Varna, WM he read with the snidest. Illetest affording as they do some insight into the comprehensiveness and minuteness of the mighty ma- chinery of war.

INSTROCTIONS ISSUED TO THE BEITEMI TROOPS ON LEAVING VARNA ; DATED SEPTEMBER 3.

1. The invasion of the Crimea having been determined upon, the troops will embark in such ships as shall be provided for their conveyance ; which will rendezvous at Baldjik, and proceed with the combined fleets to their destination.

2. In an operation of so much difficulty, it is essential that the arrange- ments made should be attentively considered and thoroughly understood by the officers who are responsible for their execution, and should be strictly carried out without any alteration or the exercise of discretion by any sub- ordinate officer: otherwise confusion would ensue, and the worst conse- quences might be apprehended. 3. When the troops are directed to land, they are to enter the boats in the order in which they stand in the ranks. 4. They are to sit or stand according as they may be desired ; and when once placed, are to remain perfectly still, as well as silent. 5. They are to take their knapsacks with them, but not on them ; and on leaving the boats they will either put them on, or place them on the beach in the order in which they stand, according as they may be directed.

6. The blanket will, in the first instance' be left on board, folded, and la- belled with the regimental number of each soldier.

7. The regiments will form in contiguous columns, at quarter distance. S. They will not load until they have landed, and not then until they are ordered.

9. The spare ammunition (first reserve) will be 'Reposed of as directed in the accompanying memorandum, and will be in charge of an officer of the field-train department. 10. The hones provided for the service will be landed after the troops have disembarked.

11. Three days' bread and three days' salt meat, ready cooked, are to be carried both by officers and men; and the men will have their canteens filled with water.

12. The water-bags will also be landed, and placed with the reserve-ammunition; and the horses appointed for them, if they can be taken, of

which there is at present some doubt, will be got on shore as soon as pos- sible.

13. It is necessary that officers should take on shore, in:the first instance, such articles only as they can carry themselves. 14. The servants of officers are not only on all occasions of service to be present under arms with the regiments to which they belong, but they are to carry no more than any other soldier, and they are to mount all picquets and guards with their masters. 15. Mounted officers alone will be entitled to batmen.

16. The medical staff attached to the divisions and brigades will land with them.

17. The batteries will land with the divisions to which they are attached, as well as the sappers similarly situated; and the latter will bring with them a due proportion of intrenching tools. 18. The Light Division will land first. Four companies of the second bat- talion Rifle Brigade will be attached to each of its brigades, and will form the advance.

19. The First Division will follow, then the second, the third, and the fourth.

20. The cavalry will be ready to land ; but will not disembark until they receive special directions to do so. They will take with them three days'. corn and forage.

21. Provision will be made by the naval authorities for the disembarkation of a due proportion of the horses of the officers of the staff; and these officers, are recommended to take upon their horses three days' corn and forage. The Order of Landing.

When the troops are in the boats, they will form on the off-shore side of the ships from which they disembark, ready to form the line abreast, on the signal being made from the Agamemnon.

The boats are to keep a space of twenty feet clear of the oars of each other ; care to be taken to observe the signals, that "to form" may not be mis- taken for "advance." All officers of boats will distinctly understand, that they are to be on the look-out for orders and signals from the respective commanding-officers of their divisions, following each other, and never pro- ceeding in execution of the signal until it be ,hauled down ,by the senior officer.

The form of advance will be in line, abreast, and the greatest care will be- taken to preserve the line, that no boat advance beyond it or fall into the rear ; but all will pull in to the shore stoutly and steadily, preserving the- strictest silence. All boats towed to land on the port side of the boat towing them.

The divisions, as in the general regulations, will be as follows.

First Division.—All launches and Turkish pinnaces from the sailing ships of the fleet, commencing with Britannia's boats on the extreme right, and ending with the Diamond's troop boats on the left of the division.

Second Division.—All paddle-box boats of the war-steamers towed by their own cutters, commencing with the Furious on the right of the division and terminating with the Fury on the left.

Third Division.—All boats of the transport service, commencing with the boats of the Emperor on the right of the division, and ending with the Gertrude on the left, excepting the ships Monarchy, No. 60, Harkaway, 39, Talavera, 98, Mary Ann, 42, Calliope, 42, Echunga, 44; which are not to send boats until they are cleared of their artillery, that land with the light division ; after which their boats will proceed to the ships pointed out to them.

The first division will take the right, the third division the centre, the second division the left of the line.

Britannia's first boat on the right ; Diamond's the last boat on the left. The Emperor's boat next to Diamond's, the first boat on the right ; and the Gertrude's, No. 54, the last boat on the left. The Furious the first boat on the right, next to Gertrude's; and the Fury's the last boat on the left. Arrangements to be carried out for the Assembling at /wet Rendezvous • Anchoring of the Enemy's Territory, and Disembarking the Army and Materiel.

1. The whole fleet containing the army to assemble at Baldjik, anchored by divisions as they are now told off, with the steamers appointed to take ships in tow, to seaward of the ships to be towed. 2. The squadron of ships of war immediately attached to and directing the expedition, to be anchored together, on the right or left, as the Admiral may decide, excepting those war-steamers appointed to tow transports, which are to be in their places as above. 3. That the main body of the fleet be apart from (to the right or left of) the division of transports, as the Admiral shall decide, but on the opposite side to that on which are the ships immediately conducting the expedition. 4. That one steamer of war be attached to each division, for the purpose of rendering any required assistance whilst at sea ; and that the Triton and Spitfire be told off to anchor as points of enclosure, for the light division, and a general guide to the others. 5. That the towing-steamers only, of each division, carry at their mizens, during the night, the number of lights, vertical, corresponding to their di- visions ; the light division carrying two lights horizontal. . 6. That all ships of war, carrying pairs of boats for which portable decks are fitted for guns and horses, have a party of shipwrights told off to them, well instructed as to the quickest mode of putting them together ; and, when ready for service, a crew of six seamen be appointed to each.

7. That all boats of the pinnace size and upwards, including flats and paddle-box boats, be provided with grapnels, or amall anchors, and their cablets; that all masts, sails, awnings, and superfluous gear be taken out; and that all the oars be slung, so that they may be thrown out over the side of the boat as she approaches the beach. That every boat be provided with at least four breakers of water.

8. The small steam-tugs to be in tow of larger vessels, in twos or threes, with moderate steam up in each, to prevent collision. 9. Launches and paddle-box boats to have crews ; pinnaces and cutters to

All officers to have written copies of these instructions. 13. All boats' crews to carry their day's provisions in their haversacks, and their day's spirits in a small breaker.

14. Each ship, as she is clear, to haul down her distinguishing flag, to prevent the possibility of boats returning to an empty vessel; and when ar- tillery-ships haul down their distinguishing flag, which intimates that they are clear, the artillery ships of the next division to be cleared are to haul their ensigns down from the gaff and hoist them at the mizen, in order that the steam-tugs towing artillery flats may have no difficulty in finding the vessels. 15. That all transports carrying artillery be marked with the letter A, and the number of the division to which they belong, in large characters, on both sides, amidships, in white. That all ships carrying infantry have the num- ber of the regiment, with the letter R, on both sides of the ship, amidships ; and ships with cavalry a large C, with the number of the regiment. 16.

Medical Memorandum.

The following memorandum, issued from the office of the Inspector-Ge- neral of Hospitals, is of peculiar interest, containing as it does most minute instructions for the care of wounded soldiers. The ambulance equipment for one division of the army, consisting of two brigades of three battalions each—the battalions being 800 strong—should con- sist of two large store-waggons, to be under the care of a purveyer's clerk, at the head-quarters of the division. These waggons to contain a reserve simply of medicines, materials, medical comforts, tents, and bedding. Each battalion surgeon should have a pack-horse for the conveyance of his in- struments, a few medical comforts for immediate use ; such as a bottle of brandy, Pa of tea, 11b. of sugar, and 4oz. of arrowroot, a few tins of essence of beef, some medicines, and a supply of surgical materials agreeably to the printed scale laid down in the regulations. A spring-waggon should also be attached to each battalion for the removal of the wounded off the field, and for the conveyance of the hospital canteens A and B, with twelve sets of bedding, ten canvass bearers, and the hospital marquee, on the line of march : or when the spring-waggons are either small or required for the conveyance of the sick and wounded, a reserve waggon might be attached to each brigade for the carriage of these articles. Canvass bearers, with long poles and shoulder-straps, in the proportion of two to every 100 men, will also be required. 2. Before a division takes the field, the principal medical officer should

satisfy himself, by personal inspection, that the equipment of surgeons of regiments is complete in every respect ; and it would be a neces- sary precaution for him to see the pack-horses loaded in his presence, as by that means he would ascertain that no straps, buckles, or cords were wanting.

3. When an action with the enemy seems inevitable, the surgeon of each

regiment will make arrangements for the removal of the wounded of Ins corps from the field ; and it would be desirable for him to give instructions to the bandsmen and others employed in that duty how to apply a field tourniquet, how to restrain dangerous hemorrhage until the assistance of the medical officer on the field can be obtained ; and for this purpose a tour- niquet should be given to each party of bearers. The bearers should also each of them carry a canteen full of water.

4. While the troops are advancing, the medical officers will follow with the spring-waggons and bearers, and any other conveyance that is available; but when they deploy, or form for action, all, except one medical officer per regiment, will move a short distance to the rear, out ef musket-range, and will prepare for affording aid to the wounded, and performing such primary operations as may be deemed absolutely necessary. For this purpose, the surgical panniers must be brought up, and instruments, ligatures, dressings, and cordials (brandy), got ready, and, above all things, an abundant supply of water provided. For the safe and easy conveyance of which, the leather bags or skins formerly recommended would be found most convenient.

Dr. Hall takes this opportunity of cautioning medical officers against the use of chloroform in the severe shock of serious gunshot wounds, as he thinks few will survive where it is used. But as public opinion, founded perhaps on mistaken philanthropy, he knows is against him, he can only caution medical officers, and entreat they will narrowly watch its effects ; for, however barbarous it may appear, the smart of the knife is a powerful stimulant, and it is much better to hear a man bawl lustily-than to see him sink silently into the grave. 5. One medical officer for each regiment, generally the junior assistant- surgeon, should follow the troops within musket-range, so aa to be at hand to check any alarming hemorrhage and to expedite the removal of the wounded off the field to the rear : and for this purpose, the bearers should be placed under his orders,. and the regimental spring-waggon be so stationed OA to be within easy reach to convey them to where the surgeon said his Atisintants liave eatblisie4t1iemselves. , The field-eseista.4,eheul4 .carry

with him in his haversack his pocket ease of instruments, with a few ligat

ready out, two geld tourniquets, some lint, and two or three bandages ; and he should be accompanied by three men, one with a knapsack or haversack, containing a pint bottle of brandy; or some other stimulant, twentv-four bandages, half a pound of lint, three sponges, six long and six short solid splints, two old sheets, cut into quarters before starting, for the purpose of rolling fractured limbs in, and so preventing them from sustaining further injury on the men's removal from the field. This is best accomplishedby placing the old linen under the limb, and rolling the splint up in it from the outer edge, and rolling towards the limb on each aide, and then seeming the whole with two or three bends of tape. In this way, Dr. Hall thinks medical officers will find they can temporarily secure fractured limbs better, and much more expeditiously, than in any other manner. The orderly should have in his haversack, in addition to the above articles, a piece of tape, some pins, and two or three rolls of tow. He should carry a canteen, either of wood or India-rubber, full of water, and a drinking-cup. The second man should carry a canvass bearer with shoulder-straps, and, like the former, should have a canteen full of water. The third man, I think, should be armed, to protect the -party against stragglers and marauders, and, like his fellows, carry a canteen full of water. The second assistant-surgeon should receive the wounded from the field, see them carefully placed in the spring...- waggon, and then accompany the spring-waggon to where the surgeon and third assistant are stationed, ready to afford them the surgical aid they may require. For this service, the second assistant-surgeon should be accompanied by two men to assist in placing the men carefully in the waggon : these men should accompany the waggon, and assist in like manner in taking the wounded out These men should likewise carry canteens full of water, and there should be a skin of water, as a reserve, in the waggon, with a drinking-cup.

6. The site selected by the staff-surgeon of brigade for the reception of the wounded from the field should be as sheltered as possible ; and if not easily distinguished, a flag should be put up ; and if any houses be near, cal- culated for the reception of wounded men, they should be taken possession of at once, and an abundant supply of water, and, if possible, straw, provided.

7. Should the action prove decisive, tents can be pitched for the tempo- rary accommodation of the wounded; but should the army advance, the sur- geon, and one assistant at least, should accompany their regiments, leaving one or two assistants, according to the number of wounded, to aid the divi- sional staff, who will pitch the reserve marquees, and make all necessary preparation for the comfort and accommodation of the wounded, by having tea, broth, or essence of beef, (which is readily made into broth by adding hot water,) wine, and brandy, 8co. ready. Should the army unfortunately meet with a reverse, all available eransport must be pressed for the removal of the wounded to the rear, and they must be sentoff as speedily as possible : but neither here nor on the field of battle should any one be carried whose hurts are so slight as to admit of his walking. Nor should commanding- officers of regiments, when wounded, be allowed to take medical officers of their own corps to the rear with them, or officers of any grade be permitted to appropriate the spring-waggons for the special conveyance of themselves and their luggage ; and positive orders should be given to prevent bandsmen, drummers, or pioneers, specially told off to assist the wounded, from being left in charge of. officers' horses and effects. 8. Should the army have to effect a landing on an enemy's coast, with an

opposing force to meet it, the men should eat a good meal before leaving the ships, and should cook whatever provisions it is deemed necessary to serve out to them before they start. Pork is better than beef for this purpose, as it warms up more readily with any vegetable the men may find on shore. The medical officers should land with the last boats of their regiments, and should carry with them their haversacks, dressings, and canvass bearers, if the landing be opposed, se as to be able to bring the wounded at once to the boats for conveyance to the ships set apart for their reception. Care should be taken that each boat employed in this service contains a supply of water

and a drinking-horn.

9. Should a landing be effected, and any horses be disembarked, the sur- geon's pack-horse and panniers should be among the first. 10. As soon after an action as possible, medical officers in charge of corps will make out, and transmit to the Inspector-General of Hospitals, for the information of the General-commanding-in-chief, returns of casualties. JOHN Aai.r,, M.D., Inspector-General of Hospitals. The other documents which have found their way into the journals enter minutely into the "duties of the boats" on the occasion of the land- ing; regulate the employment of working parties on board artillery-ships ; and appoint rendezvous in the event of a dispersion.

Nothing new has arrived from the Principalities since last week, ex- cept a positive assurance that the Turks were advancing upon Moldavia, and that the Russians had entirely crossed the Pruth. Omar Pasha re- mained at Bucharest; and the Austrian army of occupation continued its advance.

A council of the high functionaries and principal Memo of the Porte was recently held at Constantinople, under the presidency of the Grand

Vizier, to hear read a Hatti-Sheriff from the Sultan. In this document

the Sultan expresses his desire to realize the objects of the Tanzimat- hairie. The principles of reform have been consolidated, but there are defects and breaches in all the departments of the administrative system, which require a remedy. As the cause of the non-realization of these objects has been "nothing else but corruption," the Sultan proposes-to put in force a new law, which can be neither evaded nor falsely inter- preted. The important matters to be dealt with are thus set forth—

RUSSIA: —The Berlin correspondent of the Times forwards a letter from the interior of Russia,." written by'a.man whose position enables hirnato inform himself well, and addreeaed to one whom he has every intereet in not deeeiving.". It is,. however, singularly inaccurate in some pauticulatel and, inevalue,liea not.tio natichamthe intelligence it may convey, ari ha,the

,

fact tha4 Mom authentioftwession of Russianafeeling, The writer says, was known that the Western Powers weIlid not ,ogerste „throggh-j1lol44vds. and yirallaollia„ but from the Bairian

ta of the Black Sea ; and he mentions the strengthening of the force in the Crimea and of the fortress of Anapa. He estimates the forces in the Crimea and the places on the neighbouring continent at 100,000 men; and he anticipates Russian defeat, because, although the troops are brave, they are not commanded by intelligent generals. Having defeated the Russian armies, he says the hostile forces will stream over the most beau- tiful and fertile portions of the Russian empire.

"Those tracts of country compose the Russian Italy, which is very little known abroad; and the maintenance of a numerous army is an easy affair, as, in addition to the most beautiful products of the soil, such as wheat, maize' rye &c., there is also forage in plenty for the cavalry. Everything of this kind is in such quantities there' that grain has hardly any money value : for instance, wheat costa 18. M. English per bushel ; hay, straw, &c., has no value at all. Horned cattle are in such abundance there that the primest beef must be given to the poor, and often even to the dogs, simply /rota the inability of the population to consume it. The tallow alone of these immense herds is used for export to foreign countries. The peasants in those parts don't pitch or tar their vehicles, but smear them with suet. The winter is, it is true, sometimes severe there, but is of no long duration ; as is comprehensible from the circumstance that the coast of the Black Sea down as far as the land of the Czerkessen lies in the same latitude as Italy. The confidence that is put in a Russian winter, like that of 1812, loses all value with reference to these localities, and it would be an enormous mis- take if they were to reckon on it for an ally, as it was in 1812. A numer- ous hostile army can support itself there perfectly comfortably for years and years, more particularly if as in this case, ample reinforcements are forwarded. The population there is not scattered so thinly as people abroad fancy. There are, it is true, no very remarkably celebrated towns, but the land is well cul- tivated, and a number of villages cover the face of the country. There are more particularly some very extensive German colonies ; and I have been assured that the traveller fancies himself transported into the middle of Ger- many when he has an opportunity of seeing the prosperity and the wealth of the colonists there. In the neighbourhood of the colonies are to be seen extensive estates, and a single landowner there will have more horsekeepers and cowherds than a similar landowner in these parts has horses or cows. This state of prosperity extends over the whole South of Russia from the Wolga up to Podolia, &c. The point which the Western Powers have selected for their attack is, therefore, well and wisely chosen—that is the most vul- nerable point of the empire. If the German Powers continue to observe the same inaction—if they let the attack of the English and French be quietly organized—if they wait for the collision then actually to take place—there can be very little doubt as to the future of Russia."

Having drawn this picture, the writer naively begs his correspondent " to forward to Berlin this matter for reflection, so that help may be sent to us by Prussia as rapidly as possible." The ensuing remarks are in- tereeting as showing the friendly light in which Prussia is regarded.

"Conferences and protocols, pacific proposals and diplomatic concoctions, are no good here ; they only procure the enemy time to make his attack good. There is only one help possible, one rescue practicable,—and that is, that Prussia should immediately despatch 300,000 men to Podolia, and even further on towards the Crimea, and prevent the collision. Two months later, and it will be too late."

Too late, because a Russian army once beaten is not easily reorganized, all the stick-drilled soldiers escaping altogether when beyond the meth of the stick ; and because the generals are inefficient, Paskiewitch "an antiquated souvenir," and Gortschakoff a well-read old gentleman with- out military fire. "The Emperor is the best General, and after him his ton Constantine." Two deplorable circumstances are' that there are whole regiments of Poles who will fraternize with the French and Eng- lish and that the Russians looked with too much contempt upon the Turkish soldiers.

A letter from Odessa in the Vienna Lloyd, dated September 7, describes the panic that reigned in that city, hourly expecting an attack. "Our army," he says, "is much cast ilown. The news of the fall of Bomar- amid has much depressed military men, as well, high as low."

The Emperor is sending reinforcements to the South, if we may trust the telegraph— "St. Petersburg, September 14.—The whole second division of the Guards, the second brigade of Artillery of the Guards, and the Hussar Regiment of the Guard, has been inspected by the_Emperor, and_marched to share in the 'campaign of the South."

GERMANY.—The King of Prussia is playing at soldiers in the neigh- bourhood of Berlin • where the grand autumnal field operations are affected under General Waldersee. The Empress of Austria has gone to Ischl, to prepare for an auspicious event; and her mother, the Duchess Max, has gone to reside there with her.

The prevalent impression has always been, says the Times Vienna cor- respondent, "that the sole pecuniary recompense which Russia received for her intervention [in Hungary in 1849] was 4,500,000 florins, the greater part of which was taken in salt: Now, when the question of indemnification was settled between the two Governments, Austria pledged herself to supply, during fifty years, a certain quantity of salt at the rate of 47 k-reutzers (7d.) per cwt. The Austrian Government charges its own subjects of. 37k. (about 1 la. 3d.) for the same quantity. It has escaped my memory how many hundredweight of salt Russia re- ceives yearly from the mines of Wieliczka - but the loss to Austria by the difference of price is 3,000,00011. per annum, or:1150,000,000ft in fifty years."

HoLtaNn.--The King opened the States-General on Monday. The speech from the throne states that Holland continues to receive marks of amity and friendship from every quarter.. Indeed, on all subjects—the harvest, the state of the Dutch colonies, the internal cemmunications, the finances—the King proclaims that matters are satisfactory. The only exception would appear to be commercial relations; but "notwithstand- ing the impediments caused by the present war, trade, navigation, and naval organization, remain in- as prosperous condition as present unfa- Vourable circumstances will permit.'

BRietura.—After much delay and deliberation, the Ministerial crisis in Belgium has terminated. The ilfoniteur Beige announces the fact in these terms-

" The King presided yesterday at the Council of Ministers ; at the close of tha meeting, the Mu' deters consented to withdraw their resignations." nallez.—Intelligence front France is scanty this week ; all the pub- lie attention being directed to the East. The Emperor arrived in Paris from Boulogne last Saturday; and early in the week he set out for Biar- ritz, to escort his Empress. hack, to- Compiegne. Ile was expected in Paris on Thursday, and thefts to proceed to Boulogne. According to the Con.9titutionne4 "it hen been definitively decided that a harbour of refuge, capable of receiving the largest vessels of the state, shall be constructed at Boulogne-sur-Mer. The site of the port will be at the village of Chatillon, which is at the South-west of Boulogne. The port will be very useful, as at present large vessels passing in the Chan- nel have no place of refuge. The expense is estimated at 18,000,000 or 20,000,000 franca" ITALY.—The cholera seems dying out in most of the large towns of Italy. At Nice and Cuneo, in Piedmont, where in 1835 on its first visita- tion the cholera killed 650 persons, there have been this year but solitary eases. At Messina in Sicily, where it was never known before it is es- timated that 13,000 persons have been destroyed, and up to the beginning of this week the deaths reached from 200 to 300 daily. In Turin, 410 have died out of 642 attacked ; and at Genoa, 2609 out of 4827.

INDIA AND CHINA.—The fuller despatches tell little more news than the telegraphic summary. It now appears that the day of prayer and fasting was observed throughout India with a strictness not anticipate& That Parsecs and Hindoos should join in the celebration was to be ex- pected, but some doubt was felt whether the Mahometans would also ob- serve the day. It appears that they did. Lord Elphinstone published notification on the subject in the Bombay Government Gazette.

" GENERAL DEPARTMILNIT.

" 1. The Governor in Council cannot allow the recent manifestations of loyalty and attachment to the British Crown and Government by the population of Bombay to pass without an expression of his satisfaction and gratification.

" 2. The circumstance of large and influential bodies of the native com- munity responding to the invitation of the most noble the Governor-Gene- ral in Council, and coming forward voluntarily to observe a day of prayer for the success of the British arms and the restoration of peace, must be in the highest degree gratifying to all who are friendly to the British Govern- ment and favourable to the cause which it has espoused. The Governor in Council will not fail to bring this honourable fact to the notice of the higher authorities both in India and in England."

The telegraph is now in course of extension to Rangoon, and the mili- tary stations in Burmah. Calcutta is already in communication with Agra, Lahore, Delhi, Cawnpore, Meerut, Benares, Bombay, and Poonah.

The overland China Mail of the 22d July contains the following state- ment respecting the British squadron— "Her Majesty's 50-gun ship Winchester arrived from Shanghae on the 14th instant, the sloop Racehorse from Singapore on the 18th, and the steamer Barracouta from Shanghae yesterday ; so that we have now at Hongkong the Winchester, Spartan, Racehorse, and Barracouta. The Win- chester, however, sails for Shanghae today at noon, to join the Admiral ; and the Barracouta will leave three or four days after the arrival of the mail, to be followed, it is said, by other vessels. It is understood to be Sir James Stirling's intention to proceed with the fleet to Sitka. At Canton is stationed the sloop Comus ; at Amoy, the brig Bittern ; and at Shanghae, the steamer& Styx and Rattler, and sloop Grecian. One of the new importations from China is a translation, by Mr. W. H. Medhurst, of a pamphlet published at Nankin, illustrating certain re- ligious tenets of the Chinese insurgents. It would appear that the leader of the insurgents—" the Celestial King "—has styled two of his Minis- ters the Northern Prince and the Eastern Prince. In December last, "the Heavenly Father" came down into the world on account of the "impetuous disposition" of the Celestial King. He first commanded the female chamberlains to call the Northern Prince. They did so ; but without waiting the arrival of this worthy, the Heavenly Father pro- ceeded to issue instructions to the three women which they were to transmit to the Northern and Eastern Princes. dome of the instruc- tions" relate to the position which the young women are to occupy at court; telling how they are to be permitted to rest from their labour and enjoy themselves. The Northern Prince came too late, and only received the instructions of the young women. He carried them to the Eastern Prince; who observed, that "the Heavenly Father has indeed taken a great deal of trouble on our behalf," and hoped that the Northern Prince and all the officers might be duly sensible of the celestial favour. Some time afterwards, the Heavenly Father again came down, and this time visited the Celestial King—Thace Ping Wang—who received him at the second gate. The account of the interview which ensued is a good speci- men of the pamphlet "The Heavenly Father, on his arrival, was angry with the Celestial King, saying, 'Sew-tsenen ! You are very much in fault ; are you aware of it ?' The Celestial King, kneeling down with the Northern Prince and all the officers, replied, saying, Your unworthy son knows that he is in fault, and begs the Heavenly Father graciously to forgive him.' The Heavenly Father then said, with a loud voice, 'Since you acknowledge your fault, you must be beaten with forty blows.' At that time the Northern King and all the officers prostrated themselves on the ground, and, weeping, implored the Heavenly Father to manifest his favour, and remit the punishment which their master had deserved; offering to receive the blows themselves in the stead of the Celestial King. The Celestial King said, Do not, my younger brethren, rebel against the will of our Heavenly Father; since our Heavenly Father has of his goodness condescended to in- struct us, I, your elder brother, can do no less than receive the cor- rection. The Heavenly Father would not listen to the request of the officers, but still insisted on the blows being given to the Celestial Kings; whereupon the Celestial King replied, Your unworthy son will -comply with your requisitions ' ; and, so saying, he prostrated himself to receive the blows. The Heavenly Father then said, 'Since you have obeyed the requi- sition, I shall not inflict the blows; but those women' Shih-ting:lan and Yang-chang-mei, must both be sent to the palace of the Eastern Prince, and stay along with the Imperial relatives, to enjoy royal ease and tranquillity. There is no necessity for their aiding in the business of the state. The elder and younger Chow-kew-choo, having formerly attained to a degree of merit, may also enjoy ease and tranquillity. With regard to other matters, you can wait till your brother Yang-sew-tsing sends up his report.' Having said this, the Heavenly Father returned to heaven."

Another specimen gives a good idea of the offhand way these people speak of the Divinity- " The Northern Prince then announced to the Eastern Prince, saying, 'My fourth elder brother, the Heavenly Father has again troubled himself to come down into the world.' The Eastern Prince delightedly said, 'Has he, indeed, Wien the trouble to come down again? Truly, he gives himself a great deal of trouble on our account."

The rest of the pamphlet describes an interview between the Eastern Prince and the Celestial King, in which the former delivers the message he pretends to have received from the Heavenly Father, for the latter. Among other instructions are these-: he is not to permit the young master to go out on a wet day ; he is to be indulgent to the faults of the women engaged in hinny Held work din* ditches, and erecting palaces ; he is not to order sentence of death to bsexisonted without due examination of the circumstances, lest persons be wrongfully put to death; he is to act in the spirit of gentleness always; not to ,kiek preg- nant women with his boot on; not to bawl out and rail at officers making reports, until they have done; to listen to the complaints of the younger as well as the elder ladies; and not to beat them with thetamboo for any- trifling fault. The Celestial King, delighted with this advice, declares that it is all-important, and may be considered as a specific for "managing families, governing countries, and ruling the whole empire." APSTRALIA.—The Tamar arrived at Southampton on Sunday, bringing news from Australia, via Panama, to the 3d July. At that date, Sir Charles Hotham, the new Governor of Victoria, had arrived at Mel- bourne, and his arrival had given "great satisfaction to the colonists." On the 1st, Sir Charles received a deputation from the Chamber of Com- merce, partly empowered to congratulate him, and partly to impress upoo him the necessity of improving the port and harbour and the internal communications of the colony. On the same day, Sir Charles held his first levee and the town observed a sort of holiday on the occasion.

Speaking of the projected exploration, of which we hear nothing now, the Adelaide Times remarks that it did not meet with much response in New South Wales or South Australia.

"An impulse, however, is likely to be given here, from the circumstance that, within the last few weeks a party of stranger natives, six in number, strong, robust, and superior to the miserable race Southward, crossed Lake Torrens at a shallow part, and reached a station on the North-west border. They were kindly received, but evidently without the least, knowledge of Europeans, or of the native tribes on this side of the Lake. They contrived, however, after a time, to make themselves so far understood as that among the hill; they had left were plenty of kangaroos, white cockatoos, grass, water, and gum-trees. Indeed, recently white cockatoos have been observed to cross the Lake from the North-west hills, visible in clear weather, from the known country. In fact, there is no reasonable doubt that in the di- rection indicated a rich and valuable country is to be found, and could be reached with very little difficulty."
