FRAN-ea.—The Emperor and Empress arrived at Biarritz on the 21st instant: Official receptions were declined. They still remained there at the latest date, Wednesday the 26th. The Emperor had reviewed the troops at Bayonne, and had performed other acts of local, not of Euro- pean interest, duly reported by the telegraph and the Moniteurr. The. Constitutionnel announces the proximate departure and embarka- tion of a second division of the expeditionary corps of the Baltic ; the division to consist of the following regiments. First Brigade—Eighth Battalion of Chassettrs de, Vincennes, Fifteenth and Twenty-third Regi- ments of the Line; 'Second Brigade—Forty-first and Fifty-sixth Regi- ments of the Line. Several other regiments and battalions are on their march for the camp at Boulogne. TURXEL—Netbing decisive has yet reached us from the seat of war. Indeed, the intelligence has been scanty and confused beyond precedent, having been chiefly derived from the German journals. No forward Movement would appear to have been made by the Anglo-French. The Turks at Giurgevo were busily throwing up new and strengthening and extending the old intrenchments, whence the Russians were driven on the 8th July, Further accounts of the assault and capture of Giur- govo describe it as having been one of the most hard-fought and bloody of the war. Properly speaking, it began on the nth, when the Turks, with a rush, won the island of Mokan, lying mid-way between Rustchuck and %neve. ' On the 7th, erroneously supposing that the Russians had abandoned the place, the Turks crossed the river in detachments, and then discovered their mistake. A tall- cliff offered a fallacious shelter ; but the Russians, surmounting it, inflicted a murderous downward fire. It is reckoned that the Turks lost about 800 in killed and 600 in wounded; the Russians, about 190 killed and 760 wounded. The Turks, however, after a bloody fight of nine hours, remained masters of the field. Three British officers, who were at Rustchuck, fell at the head of the Turks, in this engagement : Lieutenant Burke, Royal Engineers ; Lieutenant Meynell, of the Seventy-fifth ; and Captain Arnold, of the Third Madras Native Infantry. The Russians fell back upon Frateschti, and thence behind the Argisch, where they would still appear to be posted. We hear nothing of the Russian doings on the right, nor on the Sereth ; but the Turkish forces in Lesser Wallachia are in motion for the Aluta, and those in the Dobrudscha have reached Hirsova. Some conflict is said to have taken place near Oltenitza, resulting in the success of the Turks.

It has been ordered from St. Petersburg, that when the name of tho Emperor Nicholas occurs in any document relating to the Principalities, the words "Protector of the Danubian Principalities" shall be added.

A letter from Constantinople, dated the 10th July, states that " Ad- miral Hamelin bad ordered the construction of thirty vessels capable of transporting 4000 men each. It was supposed that these barks would be employed on the Danube." The Porte agrees to resume its relations with Greece on condition that "public reparation" be given for the late outrages on Turkish territory, and that an indemnity for loss and damage to Ottoman subjects be fixed by French, English, Turkish, and Hellenic Commissioners, and paid within a brief period.

On the 12th July, Admiral Dundas issued an order that the trade in slaves from the Georgian and Caucasian coasts to Turkey should be put a stop to, and the ships used in the traffic confiscated, according to the pro- visions of an understanding entered into with the Sublime Porto.

GEILMeNY.—Negotiations appear to be still the order of the day at Vienna. Lieutenant-Colonel Menteuffel has been very busy there, " en- forcing the views" of Prussia. On the 21st ho had an interview with Count Buol, and an hour later an interview with the Emperor—the second since he arrived at Vienna. In the evening there was a Cabinet Council ; and next day it was reported that " Prince Gortsehakoff had completely failed." The Vienna telegraph, under date July 23, says that "an official communication of the Russian answer was forwarded yester- day to London and Paris."

Meanwhile, Austria has mustered 94,000 troops out of the recent levy of 95,000; and is raising a loan. The official Gazette of Vienna pub- lished on the 21st a first list of subscriptions to the new loan, at the head of which stands the Emperor for 1,200,000 florins, the reigning Duke of Lichtenstein for 2,400,000 florins, the banking-house of MM. Simon Essiumfor 5,000,000 florins, and that of MM. Arnetein and Eskelez for 3,000,000 florins. A letter from Vienna of the same date states that the commune of Vienna has subscribed for 3,000,000 florins, that of Trieste for 2,000,000 florins, the town of Debreczin 1,000,000 florins, the North- ern Railway Company 3,000,000 florins, the States of Styria 1,000,000 florins, Prince Lichtenstein and Prince Schwarzenberg for 1,000,000 florins each. The bankers of Vienna will, it is said, subscribe for a total sum of 30,000,000 florins, and the Imperial Family for 20,000,000 florins, to be taken from its private domain. General Hess was still, on tho 24th, inspecting the Wallachian frontier ; and a movement of troops upon the Bukowina is mentioned. This would further outflank the Russians, and at the same time furnish defences for Gallicia. General Schlick arrived at Lemberg, his head-quarters, on the 12th.

The King of Portugal and the Duke of Oporto arrived at Berlin last Saturday, on a visit this week to the King of Prussia. Under date July 22, the 'Berlin correspondent of the Times gives a sort of table of move- ments, not without interest just now.

" There is not the shadow of a report any longer stirring of mobilization. The King goes tomorrow to Munich for a fortnight to see the Exhibition ; when he comes back, on the 8th of August, he goes to Putbus, in the island of Rtigen. The Prince of Prussia is gone to Ostend for four weeks, also for the benefit of sea-bathing. General Wrangel, commander of the forces in the Mark, has left Berlin, his head-quarters, for the Bad Gastein, where he will take the benefit of the waters, together with Baron von Meycndorf. The Camarilla have it all their own way at Court. Baron von Manteuffel, the Minister President, is shelved for the present ; his cousin, Lieutenant- Colonel von Manteuffel, a Xreuz Zeitung man, receives his instructions for his mission to Vienna direct from the King ; Herr von Bismark Schonhau- sen accompanies the King to Munich; Baron von Weaker is despatched to his post at St. Petersburg."

The Berlin correspondent of the Morning Chroniek gives a specimen of the interchange of civilities between the Emperor of Russia and the Prus- sian army, of course with the consent of the King of Prussia.

" The three Prussian officers and one non-commissioned officer of the Third Lancers, sent to St. Petersburg to compliment the Czarowitsch upon the twenty-fifth anniversary of his titular Colonelcy of the Regiment, have re- turned, fascinated and enthusiastic with the attentions accorded to them by the Imperial family. All three officers received sabres of honour. The Colonel was decorated with the Third class of Wladimir, the Major with the Second St. Andrew, the Captain with Fourth class Wladimir ; and the troop Sergeant-Major received a gold watch, a silver goblet, a meershaum pipe, and a gold medal, bearing the effigy of the Emperor, attached to the riband of St. Andrew. The Sergeant-Major's portrait was done in oils also, by the Emperor's command, as a present to the Czarowitsch. It is natural, after this, that the Third Lancers should feel much devotion to their Imperial Colonel."

Tim Berrie.—The telegraph reports the passage of the English line- of-battle ships and French transports through the Belt ; and the arrival of General Baraguay d'Hilliers at Copenhagen, and his departure thence on Wednesday. For the rest, the intelligence from the Baltic is of the briefest. The latest telegraphic despatches follow.

" Copenhagen, Tuesday Evening.—This morning the Dauntless arrived from the Baltic fleet. She brings home sick and wounded ; among them Rear-Admiral Corry." "Danizic, Thursday.—The transport boat Nicolai, Captain Hunter, has arrived, having left Barosound on the 25th. There were then three ships at Barosound, eight cruising between Helsingfors and Cronstadt. The rest were near the Aaland group. No eases of cholera had occurred since we last heard from the fleet. Important news, we are told, will arrive by tho next boat."

It is generally assumed that the Aland Islands will be attacked at once, and the Betuarsund fortress destroyed. Seine.—The Marktiresarreetion-,-wirleb-broke out on the 17th in= start, showed how completely the late dominant faction had lost all con- trol of the means of government. About nine in the evening, a number of lads and men marched into the Puerto del Sol, very inadequately armed. Shouts of "Death tithe Ministers!" " Down with the thieves !" "Death to Christina!" and "Viva General Dulce!" were the rallying- cries ; while a small band of pressed musicians played Riego's Hymn. Not a soldier or policeman was visible, except about 40 men of some in- fantry regiment marching with the insurgents. About the same time, another mob arose, broke into, burnt, and gutted the house of Queen Christina ; the soldiers stationed near looking on, until an officer hastily arrived, and drawing them up in order, fired on the mob. That did not, however, save the palace. In another quarter, the Calle Cedaceros, the mob broke into and sacked the house of M. Salamanca, burning the con- tents in the streets ; while the bells of a neighbouring church rang out a merry peal. The mob got hold of some muskets, threw up barricades, and sacked the house of Quinto and Domenech, two of the Ministers. About midnight, an extraordinary gazette announced the resignation of the Sar- t,orius Cabinet, and the appointment of General Cordova. In the mean time, a "Commission" of the insurgents established themselves in the Town-hall, drew up an address of grievances, obtained an audience of the Queen, and placed the address in her hands. The incident is not altoge- ther unlike the 10th of August 1792, except that in this case the Queen's pahree was not stormed. The address, a production sufficiently strong to be read before a Queen, was as follows. " Madam, the undersigned Spanish citizens and organs of the wishes of the population of Madrid beg leave to state to your Majesty, with all the re- spect that the occasion requires, that, looking at the grave circumstances in which the capital and the whole nation now happen to be, there remains no other hope of safety for the Throne but to restore to the people the rights which have been unjustly taken from them, to respect the principles of mo- rality and justice, to remove from about your person the perfidious advisers who have compromised by their conduct the peace of the kingdom, and en- dangered the institutions which the people have obtained with their blood and treasures. The population of Madrid demands constituent Cortes, charged to fix in a stable and certain manner the bases of a social and politi- cal reorganization amongst these institutions; and, as an element of order and a guarantee of liberty, it claims the reestablishment of the National Guard, which has conferred on our country so many days of glory, and whose tried devotedness has been sealed by a generous bloodshed on the battle-field. The people, worn out and crushed to the earth under the burden of heavy taxes, likewise ask from your Majesty a reduction in the imposts now levied. Victim alike and sport ol'bastard ambitions, and of persons without name or family, they venture to hope that merit and virtue shall alone be heard in the councils of the Crown. May your Majesty deign to listen to this ex- pression of the sentiments of the population of Madrid, which the under- signed do hereby lay before you with great fidelity. May God long protect the life of your Majesty !"

The Queen received the Commission "kindly" ; and, after bearing the address read to her, assured them that she would decide for the best, keeping the national wish in view. The leader of this Commission was Setter Corradi, editor of the Clamor _Public° ; and with him were General Evaristo San Miguel and the banker Sevilano.

During the night of the 17th, the people, mistrusting the Ministry, silently but industriously laboured at the barricades; so that when the sun rose on the morning of the 18th the narrow and winding streets of Madrid were converted into strongholds and fortresses. A good deal of fighting occurred during the day ; the insurgents resolving not to give way without some sort of guarantees. In the middle of the night of the 19th, the insurrection triumphed : the Rivas Ministry resigned ; and the Queen sent for Espartero, then at Saragossa. General San Miguel was made Minister of War in the mean time, and General Iriarte Military Gover- nor.

With respect to Espartero, the Clamor Public° published in a supple- ment, at noon on the 22d instant, the following statement and proclama- tion—

" The illustrious General Espartero, speaking from his heart, has addressed the following proclamation to the Saragossans.

4`Saragossans—You have called me that I might help you to recover your lost liberty, and my heart overflows with joy at finding myself again among you. Let the national will be accomplished, and for the attainment of so sacred an object you may ever reckon on the sword of Duchene, on the life

and on the reputation of your countryman, BALDOHERO ESPAHTERO.' "Saragossa, July 20.' " We are sure that these sentiments are shared by Generals O'Donnell, Duke, Messina, Roe de Olano, and the rest, who had the glory of rising against tyranny on the memorable 28th of June." Much notice has been taken of the fact that the name of the Queen does not occur in this proclamation. The reported defeat of General Blaser, and his flight into Portugal, are confirmed.

The arrival of the Conde de Montemolin and the Carlist General Elio in Navarre is spoken of, but not with sufficient distinctness to insure credit.

What has become of Queen Christina, no one seems to know. Accord- ing to one account, she was concealed in the Queen's Palace; according to another, she had disembarked at Port a Vendres ; and a third carries her to Italy. [Send her to a nunnery !] GREECE.—Three of the chief officers engaged in the late insurrection, Theodore Grivas, Karatassos, and Papacosta, have sent in a petition to the Council of Ministers, which forms a sort of indictment against the late Greek Government. They declare that their only aim in crossing the frontier was to deliver their brethren from the Ottoman yoke ; and that they had been induced to take that step by the following motives- " The former Minister of War, Charles Soutzo, assured us positively, in the name and after the express orders of his Majesty the King, that the Go- vernment was firmly resolved to aid the revolution with all the means in its power ; that the Western Powers would look at it favourably ; that princi- pally the States of Germany, on account of the connexion of kindred (re- lations de parentes) which exists between their Sovereigns and our own, would furnish us with all manner of material aid, and that they would pro- tect us in case the Western Powers should change their opinion about this new strife ; and that, finally, the intentions to aggrandize Greece, and to liberate our brothers, was evidently proved by the fact that several of money were in the hands of the Government." The petitioners condemn the Government for having misled them; for not having consulted France and England, and for having relied on one Power alone.i They beg that Alm distribution of the money received from abroad may be investigated, and that some relief may be afforded from-whet --rensaimartm the-suffering-people; who; in obeying, as they thought, the voice of their-country, weixtdeceired by the Greek Govern- ment ITALY. —Telegraphic reports speak of Eux insurrection which broke out at Parma last week, and was suppressed, but would lead to Austrian in. tervention ; of "insurrectional movements" at Genoa, also put down; and of "attempts" at Modena. As yet we have no details, and no ex- planation of the nature of these riots.

The session of the Piedmontese Parliament was prorogued on the 16th instant, until the 27th of November.

EGYPT.—The Viceroy of Egypt, Abbas Pasha, the grandion of Me- hemet Ali, died of apoplexy on the 14th instant, at Benha, a small town on the Nile. He had reigned over Egypt since 1848. illxtremely popular, and caring nothing for trade, he passed his time in lonely Asses, chiefly among his readers of the Koran and his dogs. He hated Alex- andria ; attempted to erect monopolies and restrict trade ; disliked Euro_ peens, and courted the society of the Bedouins. Under his rule the popu- lation has been decreasing ; and those who remained lived in great wretchedness. The only remarkable work of his reign is the beginning of the railway between Cairo and Alexandria. He is succeeded by Said Pasha, the son and eldest living male descendant of Mehemet Ali. Said Pasha is favourable to Europeans, to Alexandria, to trade and irrigation. Some opposition was made to him by the Ulemas, but overruled by the French and British Consuls.

hums elm CHINA.—Despatches in anticipation of the overland mail were received in London on Thursday. The latest dates are—Bombay 20th June ; Hongkong, 22d May.

Both India and Burmah are comparatively tranquil. A good under- standing has been established with the Candahar chiefs, who had received a visit from Major Jacob, of the Scinde Horse. In Bombay and Madras, until the rains set in, there was a lamentable -want both of food and water. The town of Bombay had been so seriously in danger of " water- famine," that it had been resolved to construct works for insuring a con- stant supply. The Government had offered to do what was needful, on condition that the Municipality would assent to a general water-rate, suf- ficient to secure an annual return of 4 per cent ; and the offer had been accepted. Nothing, however, could be done without the sanction of the Supreme Government. The opening of the Bengal Railway had been delayed because there existed no means of landing the locomotives. They were put on shore on the Calcutta side of the river, with the aid of the cranes of the Oriental Steam Company, and sent across in fiat-bottomed boats; but here they stuck in the mud. The Friend of India, describing the state of railway matters, says that "forty-two miles of railway wait only for the locomotive. Eighty-nine more need only .a. few weeks' more exertion. Eight hundred more have been granted out in contracts. The wood' required has been procured. The iron necessary may be obtained. There is, and can be, no lack of funds." It is remarked that the public do not share the confidence of the Friend of India, and think there is no chance of the railway to Delhi being opened in 1858. -

Burmah was less disturbed : the shore and river police had already produced beneficial effects. Captain Phayre was about to proceed on a mission to Ave.

Piracy was increasing so much that the Singapore traders Were -really alarmed. Merchant-ships were not safe ; and orders had been issued to arm the Oriental Company's steamers. The Russian fleet had not gone to Kamschatka, but to a Dutch settlement at the Eastern end of Java. Two Russian frigates were said to be cruising in the track of the Austra- lian trade, and some English ships of war had been sent to look after them.

The declaration of war reached Hongkong on the 8th April; and Admiral Sir James Stirling put to sea the- same afternoon in the Win- chester, taking with him the Barracouta. There were six ships, mount- ing 106 guns, and two French frigates and a steamer, on the China sta- tion.

AIISTRALIA.—Intelligence from Sidney, by the overland mail, cornea down to the 24th May. The Legislative Council met on the 10th, but were unable to 'proceed to business, as the Governot-General had not re- turned from a visit to Moreton Bay and Port Curtis. He came in next day. The Council had adjourned for a week, and on meeting again re- ceived a message from the Governor proroguing them until the 6th June. The chief part of this message relates to the alarm and anxiety felt for the safety of the port. The Governor said that he was satisfied, from the most authentic sources of information within his reach, that no imme- diate occasion for alarm existed, but that he would cause "the works of defence already commenced to be prosecuted with vigour, and would se- cure the continued presence of one of her Majesty's ships of war."

An enthusiastic and well-attended meeting was held at'Sydney on the 23d May ; Sir Charles Nicholson, the Speaker of the Legislative Council, taking the chair. On the motion of Mr. Darnall, an address to the Queen was carried by acclamation. It is short, and speaks well for the true British spirit of the colony.

"To her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria. The humble address of the Citizens of Sydney.

"May it 'please your Majesty—We desire at One period of threatened war- fare to convey to your Majesty the assurance of our unalterable devotion and loyalty to your Majesty, and of our hearty approval of the decided measures which have been adopted by your Majesty's Government to repel the un- righteous invasion of Turkey by the Emperor of 'Russia. " With profound gratitude for a long and prosperousinterval of peace, we are prepared to submit to the calamities of war in defence of the great prin- ciples of national independence and general civilizationand we will assist to the utmost of our ability to maintain the honour of civilization;. and British flag, and the safety of this portion of your Majesty's &minions." It was also resolved, that measures should be taken to call all the com- bined force of the colony into action on the approach of any hostile force. " Dr. Lang, the new member of the Legislative Council, endeavoured," says the correspondent of the Daily News, "to disturb the unanimity of the meeting by denouncing the conduct of the British Government for protecting Turkey after having suffered Hungary and Poland to succumb to the despotism of Russia ; but he was met with such a storm of disap- probation, even from his own political partisans, that be was obliged to cut short his oration. His amendment to postpone the proceedings for six months did not even find a seconder."
