activity. The squadron are all now on their way to ‘the northward. As injanctions of secresy have been Yaid upon the officers by the goverument, it is diffi- cult to find out anything about the movements of the expedition. All officers and men are forbidden by a “general order” to write to their friends, for the OWS what besides ; their journals are to be banded in to Department; all their collections—paid for ‘ir meagre and miserable salaries—are to press, converse on the subject, and Heaven kny the Nai out of become the property of government. Was ever such ‘an absurdity ?—under our laws, and the present age, for the government to attempt gig-law, and after, too, so much talk bas been made about this expedi- tion, to now make a farce and mystery of it, I have gleaned, however, that the squadron will all rendez- vous at the Loo Choo islands by June, and thence, after organizing and drilling, proceed to Nangasaki. Commodore Perry bas given usto understand that he will be back here by September. They do say he is not over well pleased that the Department has not sae its promises, and despatched the other ships—- Alleghany, Powhatan, Vermont, &c.—and that he is determined not to compromise himself, but pro- ceed most cautiously. The Seg tte as it now stands for this formidable exploit, consists of the Mississippi. 10 guns, 300 men; Susquehanna, 9 guns, 260 men; Plymouth, 22 guns, 200 men ; Saratoga, 20 guns, 200 meo; Supply, 6 gups,45 men; Caprice, (ebartered) 4 guns, 30 men; in all 1,035 men, 71 guns, of the following calibre—27 artillery and howitzers. The Susquehanna bas been at Shanghae since my last. She attempted to reach Nankin first, as the force of the rebel chief, Tien-Tek, was victoriously entering its gates. Portanately she grounded before 4 very long way up the river. But the attempt is con- sidered here 28 most impolitic on the part of Mr. Mar- shall, who, to gratify his vanity, has jeopardized the American interests in that quarter. possible to counteract the impression made upon the minds of the rebels that she was about to assist thy imperialists. The Tane-Tae of the province had hec- tored abont it, and boasted of it, had bid the rebels beware, &c. [send youa paper with the last news from that neighborhond. There is no doubt but that the Tsing dynasty will be overthrown, and the Han will reign triumphant. Com. Perry has cfurtered the American built bark Caprice as despatch vessel, and placed her under oommand of | ‘ent. Maury. It is said his agent here has o7 Jers to Wook after several more vessels for the same purpose. A greatexcitement just now occu the foreign mind, and furnishes material for the “little” news- papers in China. It is no less than the continnation of the French fisgstaffaffuir, mentioned in my last. It seems that sometime in April the crew of Prenc frigate Capricieuse did erect their staff hoist their flag in the usual French style, to the great indignation of the English and’ other residents. As a matter of course, some wild spirits, ander various excitements, treated the flag with vari marks ef contempt, and finally one night, abo’ fortnight ago, during a strong breeze, some my ebievous persons cut the stays and ropes that su ported the staff, in hopes of falling. This bas so exasperated the French miuvister bere, Mors. Baos- lillon, that he despatched a frigate to WAampoa to Keep a lookout. On the 29th April, as two English merchants | were walking in the gardens, by name Hill and Taylor, they were seized by an armed party of French officers and men, and forcibly carried to Whampoa and kept priseuers all nigbt. A sort of trial was instituted, in which efforts were made to induce these gentlewen to confess that they had something to do wth the insu't to the flag; but with mo success—ao they were liberated. Great indigna- tion ex sts arcon talk of H. 5. M. , anda fight thereon. These little things some- : nih cauze great resulta. Capt. Rocquemarel has positively refused to apologise for his conduct, 80 it may furnish some astute orator in Parliament with an excuse for putting a few questions to her Majes- ty’s ministers. There are twelve large vessels loading here for San Francisco with chow-chow cargo and Coolies. The little Pathfinder is again off for Sin Francisco | with a valuable cargo and a sealed mail.

The Frerch fleet consists of three Bne-of battle skips, three rteam frigates, and throes despateh steamers, and is commanded by Vice Admiral de la Busse.

When the packet left, the greatest uncertainty continued to prevail upon the momentous subject of peace or war with Russia. On Saturday, the 2d inst., the day of the departure of the Arabia, a submarine telegraphic despateh was received, announcing the entry of 12.000 Russian troops into Moldavia: this news produced a great rturbation on the London Stock Exchange, the | English consols at once going down ? per cen’. Oa | the following Monday the truth of the actual oceu- | pation of the Moldavian provinces was denied. It was, however, announced in Paris that official ac- counta had reached the French government, to the | effect that the Emperor of Russia had, on the 27ta | ult. issved a decree commanding the passage of the Proth by his forces. This operation was accom- plished on the 4th July. [t was reported that at the cabinet council held in London on the 2d, it was de | cided that the occupation of the principalities by the Russians should not be considered a casus bel!i, ov condition that Russia would not object to the entry of the combined fleets into the Dardanelles. The belief in the efficacy of the Anstrian mediation | gained ground. It was suggested that Count Gialay | should propose that Turkey should sign a treaty em- | bedying the stipulation of the last firman, not with | Russia alone, which she objects to do, but with all | the powers, and that the parties to the treaty should j at the same time guarantee Turkey against any ug- gression from Russia. The London News of July 6th says :-_~The follow- ing extraordinary decument reached L ye-ter- | day. A version differing somewhat from ttig present | has been published with omissions which are here | supplied :-— | By the ersee of God, | We.

All our efforts to restrain the Porte from such acts have proved in vain. and even the word of the Sultaa, i saemaly given us by himeelf, was soon faithlessly roken. Having exhausted a'l means of conviction, and having in vain tried ell the means by which our just clsims could be peaceably adjusted, we have deemed it indispen- sable ‘o move our armies into the provinces on the Dan- | ube in order that the Porte may see to what her stub- | borpness may lead | But even now we bave no intention ef commencing | war; in oceupying those provinces we wish to hold a | evfficient pledge to guarantee for ourselves the re e¢s- tabliehment of our rights under any circumstances what- 12, Privee Menschikoff, Adgixal and President of the Of the extreme moderation tain tegen ite there can scarcely be more than one opinion; in- deed, it may be thought by some that that modera- tion is carried so far that it cannot well go farther. Tu this respect it prerents a striking contrast with the haughty tone of Prince Meuschikoff’s verbal and written communications, as with the ill-concealed ar- | tiued for the occupation of Wallachia, aud at Skouliany rogance of the note to which it is a reply. The Porte would seem desirous, by the very milduess of its lan- guage, of keeping Russia in the difficult position she is now in before the world,and of proving beyond the remotest doubt the unreasonable ess and injustice of her demands. It seems, morecver, resolved, neither by act nor by word, to afford [ussia the slightest pretext for the iniquities she is perpetrat- ing. Itis probable that this extreme pradene is anything but pleasing to Russia, who would ear- pnestly desire to see the Sultan return haughtiness for haughtiness, and insult for insult; but in that it has been disappointed. The Paris correspondent of the Londoa Temes gives the subjoined interesting and important infor- mation from that capital :— ‘We have aguin rumors actively put into cirenlation by parties known to bs in the interest of Russia about tha hesitation of the Engi:b government on the present question. One day it is France, and when something oc curs to prove that it is is not Fravce, the rext day it is England that draws back, aad this, notwithstanding all that lies been already dooe by both powers. as man.fest- determination of each to support the Satan t aggression, and 2s actiag together in doing +o. in that’ the greatest difticulty in the way of R © been in the noited action of the two powers, and nothing is left undone to dissolve that uaion, and to inistrust of their sineerity t> esch other. [am rined that letters purporting to proceed fron emiveat pevsorages ip Ergland have been spoken of indicative of sowe mixuncerstanding between the two governmen's, n@ ove letter in particular is said to have been ndsd about ix one of the sstoons of Paris rome wouks azo, in which the impossibility of any ¢ommon action was positively stated. That these lecters are forgeries, if indeed any such exist at all, T have litle doubt; bat of one thing I have no doubt, that certain parties here have been, and are still, working heaven and earth, if not to break up tbat common action, at ail events to in«vire tle French people with mistrust of the Eogl sh govern: ment and vice versa, Lo perfide Albion is seain in the mouths of persons known to be ia the interest of Russia, ccasionally beara hint of a secret understand- of ing between England, Russia, Anstria and Prussi, which both France and Tarkey are to 9e nese people have it ar heart to pereuade the that France ix abon> to be abandoned to be isolated. and coasequently degraded, aud contrasts are established ia favor of pre: cing governments, and of the lofty attitude assumed by pre. ions ministers on every question offoreign policy fin feeling hes been co inoustriously excited that many per- rons who until now held firm tothe belief thar ths go- vernu ent were united begin to have some misgiving, which will, po donbdt, be set completely at rest hy the explanations which will take place in the Eogli«h’ Parlia- ment, and which are looked forward to wich much inte. rest. Syfares the French government is coacerved, | am astured by persons ina position to be very weil tn formed, and indeed whose intereat it is to be so, that i ix determined, as before, te act in perfect union with Englard in the tak of defending the invegrity of thr Ottoman Empire against the aggression wita whieh i; ix weraced, The Porte can scarcely regard the cecuys tion of its territory otherwise than as an act of ho tility and a flagrant violation of treaties, and it u aiMeult to see how Foglanud and France can de otherwise. The invasion of the Danubian Princi polities ceems now to be a fait accompli—though, 1 my believe what is said here upto last night, tne French government has received no official intelligences of she fect. Bat no doubt is entertained on tha’ poi + andth« ext question to be connidered is whethar tha: move will be wet by tke fleet enteriug the Dardanelles, and anctorirg in tke Bosphorus, This is the su ject which chiefly oceupies the attention, aud excites gieetest interest now among the public at large. T. entry of the fleet under such cireamstances is doubted. A sort of debtor and crediror account of ct of war will be thus establixned between the powers; Roasin incurs a Cebt by tuvaeding the provines; France and England do the same by their for sing ‘he Straita; and thus, one account being balaneed by the «ther, it re mains to be seen what will be the next move. Lis though’ that Russia, having thus satisfied her amour propre, the negotiations which have been inte:rupted will then be rerewed, and with s very little contributin of good will on all sides, that matters will be arranj~d for the present. This view of the case is precisely a3 same as that I noticed some weeks ago, and inae¢ no other escape from the difficulty easily preients itsef as theex- treme of a war, which would soon become gerbral. iseven yet thought probable by few.

The most interesting portion of their contents is the text of the note sent by Reschid Pacha to M. de Nesselrode, in reply to his communication re- peered the Porte to accept Prince Menschikotf’s ul- timatum. The passages of most immediate interest are those which refer to the threatened crossing of the frontier by the Russian forces. Attentively con- sidered, these passages are not found to contain an express declaration by the Ottoman minister con- cerning the view which his government will take of the projected inve ion as affecting the relations be- | tween Russia and tle Porte.

Hubser the Austrian Minister, At the The Rasso-Turkish Questiof in a French Impe:fal Point of View. We translate the following sigyificant article from the Paris Constitutrcnnel of July 5. It is from the pen of the Emperor Napoleon's favorite joumalist . Mons. Granier de Cassagnac, and may be mken as an expression of the French Emperor's views :— The hope reasonably based upon the legitimate regards due to the good offices of Austria, accepted by the Czar, has just vanished, A Rassian corps darmée occupies Jassy, the capital of Moldavia. We will not lose our time in recrimiaation on this fact; we prefer characterizing it, and examining its probable consequences. The entry of the Russians into Moldavia consti- tutes, whatever may be said of it,an act of war the most manifest, the most flagrant. Russia has no di- rect right to the occupation of the Moldovalic terri- tory; and whatever may be the protestations with which the Czar may accompany the passage of the Pruth by his troops, the fact draws from its very nature a character which readers explanation use- less and _ palliatives werless. A cannon shot fired on a Turkish veseel or post would not be an act £0 essentially hostileas the presence of the Russians at sey fora cannon shot might result from sur- price, whilst an occupation of territory presupposes, in the highest possible degree, reflection anda de liderate purpore. The treaty of Kainardji, concluded in 1774, and quoted in the note of M. de Nesselrode, conferred on uussia, by its sixteenth article, merely a right of in- tercession in favor of the two principalities of Mol- davia aud Wallachia, in case they should be oppress- ed by the Sultan. The treaty of yAkermann, con- cluded im 1826, transformed the right of intercession on the part of Russia into a right of representation. The treaty of Adrianople, concluded in 1829, madein its fifth article out of the nght of intercession in favor of the principalities, a right of guarantee. In fine, the organic regulation of 1834, which became the very constitution of Moldavia and Wallachia, has changed this right of guarantee into a right of pro- tectorate. Thus, up to1&29, the epoch when the treaty of Adrianople was concluded, Russia possessed in the interest o/the principalities a right which extend- ed more aud more, and which was successively aright of intercession, a right of representation, a right of guarantee, and a right of protectorate. But all these rights necesssrily implied the complete separation of the Moldovalic from the Russian terri- tory; for if the Czar had been at home at Jassy, or at Bucharest, the Moldavians would have been his sub- jects, and there would have been no necessity for four successive treaties to obtain from the Sultan the right of guarantying or protecting them. ‘The treaty of Adrianople stipulated a contribution of war due by the Sultan to Russia; and the fourth article provided that as soon as Turkey should have paid this contribution the principalities should be evactated by the Russians. The Czar, therefore, recognized the right of Turkey over the principali- ties, tince he declared that he only occupied them as a pledge for sums due, aud since he evacuated them, in 1834, In 1845 the troubles which occurred in the Moldo- valic provinces were the motive for a new enti of the Russians; but the Czar declared to all Europe that he was acting in common with Turkey, and in the interest of the re-establish- ment of erder. This concert of the two powers wasregniated by the treaty of Balta-Liman, of the lstof May, 1849, of which we have already spoken; and the fourth article declared that Russia should not have the right of entering on the Moldovalic territory exeept in case of internal troubles exve- rienced in common with Turkey, and of only occu- Tying it conjointly with the Turkish troops, neither of the two bodies exceeding 35,000 men. This treaty of Balta-Liman, the last convention which took place between Turkey and Rus-ia, gives therefore to the Czar merely one right: that of enter- ing into the privcipalities conjointly with the Turks, and of their aiding them to ‘Chios internal trou- bles. Besides, this treaty declares all preceding treaties maintained and in full vigor, particularly that of Adrianople: and the third article of the latter says, in express terms—‘‘The Pruth shall continue to separate the two empires from the point where it touches the Moldavian territory up to its confluence with the Danube, and the Russian vessels of war shall not ascend the Danube beyond this contla- ence. If, therefore, by the terms of the treaties made be- tween the Czars and the Sultans, there is anything clear aed incontestible, it is that the Moldovalic principalities constitute an integral part of the Otto- man empire; and the protectorate devolved on Rus- sia by the organic regulation of 1834! only permits the Russians to occupy the principalities in common with the Turks, to re-establish order there, and to cause the constitution to be executed. In sum. and as we have before said, “the en- traxce of the Russians into Jassy is a formal violation of treaties and an undoubted act of hostility, which gives the Sultan the right to repel force by force, and to make an appeal to his allies to aid him effica- ciously in the defence of his territory, eiasely in- yaded, and in the maintenance of sworn faith. Will | the Sultan make use of that evident right wihch he poseesses to appeal to the good faith of his allies, who certainly would not fail him? This isa new aspect of the question. Although there is in the East a common situation made for all the European powers by the treaty of 141, in this sense, that the governments which signed that treaty are all in- terested in and pledged to the maintenance of the integrity of the Ottoman empire, it must, however, be admitted that the situation of Turkey is altogether bela and that her governmen: is more engaged in the matter than any one elve. France and England have, in fact, only their fleets at Constantinople, but the Turks have their national existence, and the Sultan his empire. From that difference of si¢a- ation there results for Turkey a greater amovnt of liberty in the choice of the means to be employed to attain the object which is common to he with her allies, that is to say, the defence of her tuvitory and of her independence. France, like England, is act- ing in the East for a tnird party, conjointly with other part’es co-interested. It would be to assume a atnitous and dangerous responsibility to weigh feevily on that third party in the choice of the means to be employed for the best defence of its direct and absolute interest, or on these co-interested parties, in the interpretation of the facts which are ef a nature to call for their intervention. The decision to be come to after the act of hostility of the Russians must consequently Had tts double character, the accord of France and England with the initiative of the Sal- tan. If the Turkish government, which is the most interested in the question, and-which is on the vei theatre of the difference, found, either by the medi- ation of Austria or otherwise, that its right may be completely protected by pacific means, the common sense and interest’ of the whole world would very evidently prevent the allies of Tur key, less interested ‘than she is, from advancing to the same object by violent means. The first consequence to be drawn from this situation is, that the supreme decision to be come to in conse- quence of the occupation of Jasay by the Russian troops” must be deliberated on and concerted, not at Parisand London, but at Constantinople, where are collected all the elements of the question, and where the difficulties conld be better judged of in their aggregate, And supposing that the representa- tives of France nd England, determined by the a preciation of tie Porte, should have considered it necessary to rererve the sanction of their cabinets, the question will nevertheless hava made such an ad- vance in weir honds that it will probably arrive more thaa half decided. Thus, two or three days more, am the telegraph will most, ably tell us whether there is peace or war. atever may be the ive, there is no one who ought not to be re- joicedat arriving at the term of a situation which has weighed deplorably for the last three months on the general business of Europe. [vervthing, even yo, has its lucky chances, but this leaden uncer- tanty, under which all gives way, can only be fatal iv its effects, Naturally, and like all good citizens, we desire a pacific solution; we desire it, and we hope for it. There ia in all Bnrope a general and profound feeling which persists in beholding in this war an impossible monstrosity. If, as appears pro- pbable to many persons, the Czar has merely desired to extricate himself honorably for his Seay. from & delicate and diffieult situation, all will be arranged with that need of quiet and order which is a neces sity for every one. The hypothesis that the Emperor ill ebey only the suggestions of doapotis opel hy foree, is fy itself 80 grave and s0 alice ing that we will not dirouss it. Should war burst out, France wil apply herself to it without fear, after having entered om tt without boasting. It is a great thing for States as for individuals to have in their favor duty in the present time and history in the future A portion of the French press, a moment led astray by the pernicious councils of party spirit, has retarned to the dictates of common sense and of ism. ‘Thus, the Assemblee Nationale plainly that the passage of the Pruth by the Ras- sians is a violation of treaties, but it is mueh mista- ken in affirming that the pr of the Dardanelles by the allied fleets would be another. Treaties close the Dardanelles to the allied fleets in time of peace, which scer#to signify that they open them in time of war. Desides, the Dardanelles are closed in the interest of the Porte, wh ch also, without doubt, im- plies that the Porte itself can open them to those persons who come to defend her against an unjust aggression. All Enrope is unanimous in admitting the mcderation avd loyalty which the allies of Tur- key have evinced iu this lamentable difference. France, in particular, is entitled to be proud of the part which the government of the Emperor has traced out for her, for it may be boldly affirmed, whatever happens. that France would derive from jcace more advantage, and would receive from war Tees damage, than any other people.’’ The Manifesto of Nicholas of Russia=Its Po- lutcai Ertcets in Europe, [From "be London Timer, July 6} The manifesto of the Emperor of Russia on his causes of difference with the Ottomin empire, which we publish elsewhere, was promulgated on the 26th of June, ouly one day after orders had been despatched to the Russian armies to cross the Pruth. At the fame time we learn by a telegraphic despatch from Vienna, dated yesterday, that the Prath has actu- ally been passed at Leova by the corps destined for the oceupation of Wallachia, and at Skouliany by the corps to operate in Moldavia, and it is even stated that General Gortschakoff would arrive this day at Bucharest. The decisive step is therefore at, length taken, and the hesitation hitherto shown by the Russian government has given way to rapid and vigorous action. Indeed, the publication of the manifesto is a distinct proof that the Emperor has taken his course, and we must now form our” Ce of his policy from his own (declarations. If this manifesto is intended solely as an appeal to the fanaticism of the Kmperor’s subjects, it may serve that purpese, for it breathes throughout the spirit of religious intolerance und ecclesiastical domination; but not a word is to be found in it which can be in- terpreted to establish a case of war, according to the laws and usages of the civilized powers of Europe. Not a fact is adduced on which any such case of war can be founded—not a principle is invoked which is not repugnart to that policy which has hitherto been the basis of the peace subsisting between Rassia | and the Porte. [tstarts from the assumption that | there is identity between that church of which the Emperor of Russia is the head and the orthodox faith of the Greek, or Eastern churches, not included within | his dominions. But this peated ere is entirely ground- less, as is demonstrated by the fact that the Emperor of Russia is the bead of the church in his dominions, but is not the head of the Christian churches in the domin- | ions of the Sultan, any more than the Qaeen of Eng- land, who is head of the church in this country, can | claim to be regarded as head of the Protestant | churches all over the world. But, seoondly, admit- ting, for the sake of argument, the ‘holy obligations” | of which tie Emperor speaks do relate to the whole Eastern church as well as to his own peculiar branch of it, he has utterly failed to show that the rights of that church have ever been invaded at all. He | accuses the Rorte of having perfidiously broken an oath, by which is meant that the Porte, havin, granted a certain firman of privileges to the Bleck church, was induced, by the ill advised influence | of the French ambassador, to revoke that firman. Such an act may have been impolitic, but it was no infraction of a positive right, and it constitutes no claim whatever for such redress as the Emperor of Kussia seems prepared to take | with an armed bani, especially as the specific griev- ance complained of with reference to the Hol; | Places was actually removed, by the admission of Prince Menschikoff himself, before these ulterior de- mands were pe forth at all. To assert that ‘‘all the means by which the just claims of Russia could be peaceably ndjusted have been tried in vain,” is a di- rect violation of the truth, for, in as far as the claims of Prince Menschikoff were just or even tangible, they were adjusted to his own satisfaction, and with the concurrence of our own ambassador. ‘The stub- | bornnees of the Porte,” is not a courteous expression towards a power with which the Emperor Nicholas | still profesees not to be at war; but in this instance what he is pleased to call the “stubbornness of the | Porte” is no other than the deliberate conviction of every staterman in Europe, and the concurrent | opinion of every power, including even Austria, which | has not hesitated to express that conviction with | an energy and constancy that does her honor. The Danubian provinces are to be occup'ed, as a pledge tor the re establishment of the rights of Raa un- der any circumstances whatever. But where has | Rassia shown that any of her rights have been over- | thrown’ She talks of binding the Porte to observe sclemply the inviolability of the orthodox church. But how has any immunity of that charch been vio: lated or threatened with violation? We are wea- ried by the attempt to thrash this chaff for an argu- ment or a fact, when it contains neither the one nor the other; and we are reduced. after all, to reason on inferences drawn altogether from the absence of rea- son. But let any one compare the arrogant and ut- terly unfounded language of this document with the temperate and almost submissive tone of Reschid Pasha’s last note to the Russian cabinet, in answer to its demands, and it will be impossible to doubt that when the Emperor Nicholas talks of going forth to fight for the orthodox faith, because Turkey in her blindness and stubbornness desires to oppress it, he either uscs words without a meaning, or con- templates actions which none of his allegations justity. The important consideration attached tothis mani- | festo is not, however, its effect on the rest of Europe, but ‘on the subjects of the Russian crown and the | members of the Russian church, to whom it is di- rectly, if not exclusively, addressed. There lies, we fear, its chief danger. To a people and a priesthood | like the Russian, arguments and proofs of public law are of small value in support of their traditional de- sires and their claims to spiritual ascendancy. “ With a fol] assurance in the arm of the Almighty, we shall go forth to fight for the orthodox faitb,” are the | words of this manifesto which will resound through | the Empire. It is the cry or a crusade raised among a people who are still of the age of she crusaders. It is an appeal to sentimenta which 20 rational govern- ment would excite, unless it is prepared to give them an amount of satisfaction which, in this instance, Russia cannot command, until she has dictated terms, not only to the Pette, but to every independ- ent State in Europe. We are assured by competent witnesses that alresdy the feelings of the Russian public are so inflamed that at St. Petersburg the overnment is biamed, not for its violence, but for fe mcderation, and surprise has been expressed at the artitices ef language still employed to temperand nalify the published declarations of the government. ut the -pinion of the public in Russia is very much what te government allows it or wishes it to be, and we <annot conceive a more weighty and grievous re- gvonsibility than that of throwing fresh fuel on this smouldering fire.

Her Majesty and Prince Albert were to review the great fleet at Spithead on Thursday the 7th inst. The Queen would be accompanied by the Prince and Princess Royal of Prussia and other personages. The spectacle was expected to be one of unusual effect, the fleet comprised eight line of battle ships, uine heavy frigates, and sundry smaller steam vesels, The fleet was anchored in line of battle ia three divisions, and presented a magnificent and im- poring appearance. Several more line of battle ships were being got ready for sea, and would soon, with other steamers and frigates from the Portsmouth fleet, be held in readiness to proceed at a moment's notice to the Baltic, in case political events should take su:h a turn as to render the measure necessary. The ficet, with its additions, weuld comprise upwards of thirty ships of the largest class, having on board four months etores and provisions. A grond sham fight took eos at the military camp at Chobham on the 2d inst., wlach was at- tended by his Highness Prince Lucien Bonaparte, who was surrounded by @ brilliant staff of French officers in full uniform, The Prince of Wales was convalescent. ‘The departure of the Queen and Prince Albert for Dublin was fixed for the 12th inst.

She tovk out £39,- 000 in silver for India. The total import of the precious metals into the kingdom, during the week ending July 2, was an- nounced to be £937,000 sterling, or nearly five mil- lions of dollars, of which £720,000 sterling was from Australia. There is nothing in the reports of the English arliamentary intelligence that would be likely to Iitere-t our readers on this occasion. On the Sth July the quarter's revenue returns were made up in London, and were the most favor. able that had been published for many years. The increnee for the quarter was no less than £1,146,635, and over the corresponding year £1,922,954.

The Jast bas been a melancholy week in the com mercial circles of Paris, The effect produced by the increasing difficulties of the Eastern question is felt in all branches of industry in France. The manu- ° facturers have suspended their purchases of raw material, and the demand for exportation has expe rienced a remarkable chee desmen of every description are heard to complain that the diploma- ticts evgaged in the affair have not ere this put an end to the present state of uncertainty, which, if prolcnged, will do more injury to trade than a regu lar eclaration of war between Russia and Turkeys The foreign commission brokers in Paris have ad- formed all their orders, or purchase merely patterns ‘he only foreign ordersexecuted during the last fifteen. * days ere for the United States and South Araerica. ‘The American purchases consist chiefly of silks and woollens, which have enabled the manufacturers of * these articles to give employment to their operatives. The other branches of industry are doing little or ‘ nothing, A complete revolution is about to take place in the manufacture of gloves. T wo inhabitants of Grenoble invented about the same time a machine for sewing gloves; but in place of competing with each other they azreed to unite the advantages of | each invention. One found means to sew mechani- cally the fingers of gloves, whilst the other, after sewing the remainder of the glove, was compelled to employ operatives to sew the fingers. The inventors, by combining the two machines, have produced one which sews gloves perfectly. This discovery has produced a great sensation at Grenoble, where the manufacturers were not able to supply the demand for want ofa sufficient number of opera- tives. Notwithsianding the favorable harvest weather we have experienced during the last few days, the rise in the price of wheat and flour has made further progress in the Paris market. The first quali- ty of flour, which was qnoted a week since at 69 francs the sack of 157 kilogrammes, is now worth 76 francs. Neverthele»s the rain which caused so mach uneasiness hes ceased, and. it is ascertained that the injury suffered by the growing crops, though in some districts great, is not so serious as had been appre- hended. It is even expected that the fortheoming harvest will be equal to a fair ordinary average. The rice in flour is caused more Ly purchases made on . speculation than for consumption, and the bakers + refuse to purchase at the present prices, which they consider extravagant. ‘The reserve of flour in the Paris stores has decreased this week by 3,000 quin- tals, and is now reduced to about 23,000 quintals, or 14,600 sacks. Tt is a long time since the stack of ed so low. The rise in the “ ' anticipated than followed that of flour.

Letters fiom the Dréme and the Ardéche state that it is cal- culated the sik gathering is three weeks later than ueval, and a considerable deficiency is apprehended. The crop in the communes of Roanne and Joyense is estimated at not more than half an ordinary average. The tendency is evidently to a rise in the price of wine at the wine market of Bercy, in consequence of the unfavorable accounts received from the wine- growing districts. Accounts from Bordeaux state that the vines in. that neizhborhood have already im- proves from the sunshine which prevailed for the last week. Red wine was quoted at from 296f. to 350f. the hogshead. Considerable activit; prevails in the wine trade at Pezenas, Montpelier, Ge ite, and Méze, and full-bodied wines are in good demand. | The vintage bears a magnificent appearance in the department of the Var, and wines are dull of sale. Prices are well mairtained in Bourgogne and in the Orleannais. Brandies have again risen; they are uoted at 131f, the hectolitre in Paris and at 118f. at jordeaux. ‘The Bourse opened heavily on the 4th, and the Three per Cents, which were first called at 74f. 50c., fell to 74f. 400. It was shortly afterwards reported that the English government had determined not to permit the British fleet to pass the Dardanelles. ‘he Three per Cents then rose to 75f. 60c., and closed. at 75f. 50c. for the end of the month; the Four-and- a-balf per Cents closed at 101f. 60c.; Orleans Rail- way shares, 1,040f.; Rouen, 1,005f.; Havre, 465f.5 Great Northern, §72f. 50c.; Paris and Strasburg, 885f.; Paris and Lyons, 8908; Lyons to the Mediter_ ranean, 705f.; Western of France, 702f. 50c.; Bor deavx and Cette. 612f50c.; shares of the Bank of Credit Mobilier, 715f.; Bank «f Darmstadt, 535f.
