Fitaxem.—The current reports lead to the belief that the Emjie1ord Empress will not make their intended journey to the Tyreneesillikstim- mer. . The preparations at the château of Pau have been suspended.-

There was a grand review on the plains of Satory on Friday week, in honour of Queen Christina. The Emperor was accompanied by -Marshal St. Arnaud, while the Empress drove on to the ground in a carriage and four with the Spanish Queen-Mother. Marshal Narvaez, the Duke of Rianzares' and the Marquis de Viluma, were also present

The Emperor gave a state dinner at St. Cloud on Saturday. Queen, Christina, her husband the Duke of Rianzares, Prince Napoleon, and the Princess Mathilde, were present. There was a dramatic representation afterwards in the -theatre of the Palace, attended by the Corps Diplo- matique, the military and civil functionaries.

Great naval animation has been noticeethis week at Brest.

The Police have issued new regulations since the affair of the Opera Comique. All servants residing in Paris will be obliged, under penalties, to provide themselves with a certificate at the Police Office. Every-ser- vant who does not within three months provide himself with a certificate will be expelled from Paris, after imprisonment of from eight days to three months. . . When the speech of Lord Clarendon in the House of Lords reached Paris by submarine electric telegraph on Wednesday morning, it pro- duced an immediate effect on the sensitive- Bourse. The alarm was great, and the Three per Cents, which were first called at • 78f. 20c. fell quickly when the news was known to 77f. -60c. and closed at 77j. 75e. for the end of the month ; the Four-and-a-had per Cents closed at 102f. 80c. Next day the Bourse was dull; all the funds fell. The Three per Cents made a rally up to 77f 90e. for the opening, but closeil,nt the price of the preceding day for the end of the month, Thexow-iind.a- half per Cents closed at 102f. 30e. Yesterday, the Three per Centivolosed at 77f. 75c., and the Four-and-a-half per Cents at 102/. ;:.4 Tuns...am—The most authentic statement of the present positicin of the' negotiations will be found in our Parliamentary report ; and the filets stated by Lord Clarendon and Lord John Russell have been confirmedly the usual correspondree. Vienna, we learn, has been made the centre of negotiation ; and at conferences held there, the representatives' of Enii land, France, Austria, and Prussia, have agreed upona proposition, which towards the close of July was forwarded to the Porte, accepted by the Divan, and either on Sunday or Monday last sent on to St. Petersburg.. Its nature has not yet transpired ; but the common report continues to be, as we stated last week, that it demands a categorical answer from Russia, on which all depends, and fixes on the evacuation of the Princi- palities as an essential condition.

It appears that, under Russian influence, Prince Ghika, the Ilespodar of Moldavia, has paid his tribute into the Russian military chest, and thrown off his allegiance to the Sultan. Prince Stirbey, the Wallachian Hospodar, has probably followed his example. By this time the French Consul-General at Bucharest has left the country, and it is most likely the English Consul has accompanied him. The Turkish Government have ordered the two Hospodars to repair to Constantinople ; if they refuse? they will be superseded.

From Constantinople there are again rumours of the weakness of Red- schid Pasha in consequence of the impatience of the old Turkish party, and fears for an outbreak are openly expressed. Meanwhile, the Egyptian fleet has arrived there, bringing 12,000 men ; and five ships from Tunis have probably also reached the Golden Horn. It has been constantly stated of late, that the 'United States have offered both money and ships to the Porte.

Disorders are reported in Syria. It is said that the Christians are leaving Antioch and Aleppo. At the latter town the Turkish Governor had imprisoned several fanatical Mussulmans. An attempt has been made on the life of the Russian Consul at Laodicea.

Russia.—The Emperor of Russia issued an ukase on the 20th July com- manding a levy of seven recruits in every thousand souls, on a population of 23,000,000 from the Eastern half of the empire, to commence on the 1st November. But as this population at the last recruiting season did not give the numbers required, the deficiency is to be made up so that the number will amount to ten in a thousand. In 1846 and 1847, re- cruiting was suspended in the Western districts of Pskow, Witipsk, and Mohilew, in consequence of failing harvests. These districts, therefore, are now required to supply three recruits in a thousand souls—which will give 7500. The Emperor seems at some loss for money. His Finance Minister is said to have declined to permit him to take the gold reserves deposited in the fortresses, as they constitute the basis of the paper currency. The Synod of the Church has also declined to lend a large sum to the State. Great licence is encouraged in the public journals ; of which the follow- ing passages from a poem by the poet Ivanow are a specimen. " Resplendent wave our banners in the annals of history. Astounded gaze the distant states on the majesty and might of our beautiful country, gnawed with envy at the tranquil calm that pervades our holy laud-rat the grandeur it has attained in endless extent, and at the deeraet rem.emlirence of its wide-stretched plains (1813). Often have they tried to sow in our soil the seed of evil, not dreaming their labour was lost, for exolies thrive not on Russia's soil. Much as they wished it, they- never suadeided in troubling our calm. Hardly had our bayonets flashed, and 041W-dill ; peace returned at once, and all the world bowed before us. We are 4ower- ful, covered with glory, and stronger than ever, plenteous in resources, and formidable to the foe. New victories, new glory, we seek not, nor wish not, for our country already knows no bounds. But to hew the knot in two, ,aa4

" Let the nations prate as they will; let them foam and rage like the waves in stormy weather ; God and the wise Nicholas will give them a les- son of peace, from which Husaia shall come out with new glory!" Thp.pmeeediRge of Russia in the Principalities continue to be of the most, warlike:eliaracter. By the latest accounts the actual sovereignty of Moldo-Wallacbia is vested in three Commissioners, although the Hospo- aars are permitted to retain their titles. Some of the Boyards have shown 11,4:Tuition to resist, so far as remonstrance goes; and some of the 34:Prager men have been pressed into the service of the Russian army. On panube, near. Ismail, the neutral territory of the islands has been openly violated, and preparations are made for crossing the river with great rapidity ; a movement of importance should hostilities commence, as the army of General Ludas will operate on the right flank of the Turkish army. The Grand Duke Constantine, Grand Admiral of the naval forces of Russia, arrived at Odessa on the 17th July, on his way to Sebastopol. ITALY. —The King of Sardinia has paid a visit to Spezzia. His re- ception was enthusiastic. At night the villages were illuminated, bon- fires blazed on the surrounding heights ; " Spezzia was sketched in flame," and shouts of "Long live the King!" rang out continuously. In a cruise at sea, an accident befel the steamer : the King's life was in peril, but he escaped with a wetting.

• The Abbe Gioberti left a mass of papers behind him. The time ar- rived for breaking the seals; but the Tuscan Government stepped in and demanded permission to ascertain whether there were any public docu- ments among the papers. Gioberti's heiress refused to permit a search ; the question of right was referred to the tribunals ; and judgment was given against the Government. The papers have since been opened in the presence of witnesses.

UNITED STATES.—The Pacific arrived at Liverpool on Wednesday, bringing papers from New York to the 23d July.

The opening of the New York Crystal Palace was attended by great crowds of persons of all classes. Conspicuous among them were General Pierce, General Scott, Mr. Cushing, Colonel Jefferson Davis, the Roman Catholic- BiShop Hughes and the Anglican Bishop Wainwright, Lady Ellesmere and her daughters, Professor Wilson, Mr. Dilke, Sir Charles and-Lady Lyell; Mrs. Pierre Soule, and Mrs. Guthrie. The notable in- cidents of the day were the hearty greeting that passed between the two prelates, and subsequently between the President and General Scott. Mr. Sedg-Fick welcomed the President, and General Pierce spoke in re- ply. • I.After this rush was made to shake hands with the President, "-whcl looked excessively fatigued" ; but he was "rescued," and carried to Aetor House. On the following day, the directors gave a banquet to the President.

Lord Ellesmere had arrived express from Quebec ; but could not at- tend the inaugural ceremony in consequence of a severe attack of gout. The fisheries question was attracting attention. There was a force of British vessels on the fishing-ground, mounting 65 guns. Not much was doing, in consequence of the scarcity of fish. American vessels were not allowed to einteribe Bay ef Chaleur.. The captain of.o.fishing-vessel had reported.that the people of St. John's Island, Cape Breton, and the Gut of Canso, who formerly petitioned for vessels to drive off the Americans, were petitioning to have the restrictions removed, as they found their busi- ness falling off.

-It is stated that the Mecilla Valley had been evacuated by the Mexican troops.

CHINA.—We have received files of the Hongkong Register and the China Mail to the lth June. The principal fact mentioned is the cap- ture of Amoy, not by rebels, it is said, but by a raid of banditti. But it shows the weakness of the Imperial Government when a handful of men can seize and hold a considerable city. The R.attler.war-steamer had destroyed a large pirate fleet, not far from Amoy ; but venturing too for sip the river Min, the crew of one boat was severely handled, and two officers and one man lost their lives, fighting gallantly against superior numbers.

The China papers are full of details of the visit to the rebel camp made by Sir George Bonham, and with extracts from their religious books.
