Petersburg, August 20 (Sept. 11). «MOVEMENTS OF THE CONTENDING ARMIES. [From the London Times, Sept. 19.] ‘The latest intelligence of the movements of the Russian forces in the Crimes, which has been forwarded to us by @ur correspondent at Vienna, is of the highest impor- tance, and entirely consistent with the opinion we have already expressed of the condition to which (ie enemy must now be reduce: in that peninsula, St {stated tat the Russian forees are known to be retreating from Bakebiserai and Simpheropol to Perekop, and that Prince Gortechakoff, the Russian Minister at’ Vienna, had re- éeived this ‘news with great emotfon. We confess that wo are still inclined to receive with distrust the comma- nications from the Crimea which reach us through Vien- a, for, in spite of all the precaution and discretion mani- feated ‘by our correspondent in that city, they have on several occasions proved incorr’ din one memora Ble instance a gross fraud was practised upon the public. im this case, however, + stated is at least extreme- ly probable, and, as () ement of retreat must have eommenced inthe rear of the Russian armies, to which eur own generals in the Crimen have no accesi, itis by ‘no means impcstible that a portion of the Imperial forces may have begun to evacuate pol before this determin: im front af the Russian line. Bakshigorai and Simpher: in became known to the alli 4 We adhere to our opinion that the evacuation of the southern side of Sebastopol was the commencement of a retrograde movement, destined to withdraw the bulk of the Russian anny from an untenable position in the Crimea; and, if this view be corvest, the evacuation of Simpheropol is precisely the next operation which was to be anticipated. An attempt would probably ‘be made to hold the position on the Tchernaya, which is fortified and oceupied by the most eflictent part ofthe Russian army, while the rear guard and the baggage could be withdrawn in comparative safety. Rumors of a com- bined attack on the position of the allies had deen actively circulated before the decisive events ‘of the 8th and 9th of September, and every spy or deserter who came in gave fresh assurances of the extensive pre- rations made for this action. The allies were thus kept r several days on the qui vive, and the opportunity was taken to render their own position far more impregnable than it had been on the 16th of August. No attack, how- ever, was made, and the result seems to prove that iu reality there reports were'only a feint to deceive our Generals as to the real intentions of Prince Gortschakoff. His mind was already made up to retreat, and the fall of the Malakoff tower gave him a pretext for evac- wating the town with some pl of compulsion. Should this be the true state of the case, the temporary sition he assumed, resting on the northern forts and ¢ ridge of Inkermenn, is entirely explained; while the forces which were supposed to be impatient for a fresh attack were so well concealed that not a corps could be seen from our positions, aud {t seemed to be a matter of some uncertainty whether any considerable body of troops remained about Mackenzie’s farm. If it be true that such a retrograde movement on Pe- rekop has actually commenced, and was known at Vienna on the 17th inst., it becomes of more interest than ever to ascertain what di ions may have been taken by the allied generals since the decisive advan’ of the wh t week may decide the fate of the Russian army, ince the despatch announcing Marshal Pelissier’s eniry into the town no further telegra- phic intelligence has cived, or at least published. Probably, if the allied geverals are aged in the co duct of a'delicate and secret operation, such as a com- bined movement to intercept the Russian armies must be, they would abstain from confiding their intentions to a line of telegraphic communication which passes through the Austrian capital. The silence of the generals at such aerinis in the campaign is not to be taken as a proof that nothing is being done, but rather that nothing con with prudence be communicated; and it is consistent with this view that we should receive the first intelligence of the retreat from the Russian agents at Vieana. THE LATEST PROM SEBASTOPOL. Accounts from the Crimea to the 14th of September have been received in Paris, b; ay of Varna. The ¢ ‘wchments of French troops, which entered Sebastopol on ‘the 11th, found the streets full of ruins, and barricades erected in different parts. Barricades and entrenchments extended almost up to the Cathedral, but became less nu- merous beyond it. The obstacles at the entrance to the port were about to be removed, to admit of the eatrance of ships. According to reports which hal reached Constantino: ple on the [1th ullimo, the English attacked the Redan three times, and were three times repulsed. Another account says:— When the Russians saw that the French wore masters of the Malakoff, they blew up the Redan. All was mined, but they had no time to blow up the Malakoff. It was after an hour ofa murderous struggle that the Freach flag floated on the Malakoff. It was hailed with au elec- tric shout of triumph by the whole army. RUSSIAN VIEW OF THE FALL OF SEBAS- TOPOL. The Nord, the Russian organ published at Brussels, has the following article on the fall of Sebastopol:— Facts of great iinportance have just taken place in the We have as yot but few indications whereby to appre- ciate their significance. A rational general view of them, however, snffices 1. show ns that, despite the eclat which the recent deeds of arms have thrown upon the French army, the triumph of the allied armies is more apparent than real, and that, comparing the state of things before and after the Sth of September, it must be acknowled, ed that it appears to be modified in the inverse ratio of victory, that 18 to say, to the advantage of the Russian army. And first, let it be said that the result of the assault of the 8th of September has exceeded the expectations; uay that it, so to say, cheated the hopes of the commanders of the allies. In fact, if we recall to mind the tenor of the Emperor Napoleon’s letter to General Pelissier, as well as the ex- pressions in the telegraphic despatch from that General after the occupation of the fortifications of the Korniloif bastion, it will be seen that the allied Powers counte a defence, foot by foot, of the south part of the town, a founded all their provisions on the tenacity of that re- sistance. The obstinacy of the Russian army was turned to their advantage.

Such is, to our idea, the military bearing of these latter events. What will their poli'icat importance be? Are we to be allowed to believe that, from a sentiment of humanity, on one side they will be satisfied with laurels, on the other with the respect imposed by the strength of the new po- sition, and shake hands as enemies who respect each other? Those are questions which it is not for us to decile. It wonld only appear to us that, if by the events of the 8th and 9th of September Russie has got out of a bad military dilemma, the Western Powers appear to us to ave cute political Gordian knot which impeded them, Tt isa phase of « crisis for both parties, We trust that may prove to be for the advantage of the friends of peace.

We suppose the Rnasians driven from the Crimea—we suppose the whole peninsula in the undisputed possession of the French and Koglish armies—what then? ‘The question may seem strange to those who be- lieve that after such disasters Russia will sue for peace.

THE PR STATE OF FEI [Vienna (Sept. 17) don Herald Our peace apostles are somewhat taken absck to-day by the intelligence which has reached us from London and Paris, to the effect that the British and French go: vernments appear to be altogeter disinclined to listen again to peace propositions based npon the four points.’ We are told, ut least, that the Western Powers intend to insist upon demands which will go far beyond those con- sequences of the victory of the allied arms at Sebastopol which were provided for in the treaty of the 2d of Decem- ber. But itis added that these demands do not, at ; imply any ehange in the good relations sub- ng between France and Austria, it being assumed t France will consistently adhere to such a course of policy as will also enable Austria to act in good harmony with it, It is thought that the true interests of Frane ave well enough known to bea sufficient guarantee for this assumption, Be this as it may, at all events there is cone thing inysterious, and one might almost say something ominous, in this plece of information, I think we should be almost justified in inferring from it that the Western ernments have given the Vienna Cabinet pretty plain- understand that no maudlin sentimentality in fay restoration of peace will be the nature and character of those which they consider themselves fully " isting circumstances, ani that the rej of those terms on the part of Russia and her covert and open allies simply be followed up by a vigorous continuation « the war.

But whilst confining ourselves to these remarks, we have considered it our duty to direct atten. tion to the difference which exists between the text. of the Kmperor’s oxder of the day, aud the language which was ascribed to him, THE EFFECT OF THE ALLIED SUCCESS IN EUROPE. (Berlin letter Sept. 14, in Pars Moniteur.} ‘The impression produced at Berlin by the capture of Sebastopol was the more considerable as so speedy and especially so complete « triumph of the allied armies was not expected. The consternation of the friends of Russia, who are daily diminishing in number, and the exultation of all those who, in different degrees, have shown them- selves since the commencement of the war partisans ot the Western Powers, prove beyond measure the importance attached here to this glorious victory. ‘There are two distinct sentiments, both of them equally sincere, in the justice rendered on all sides to the allied armies. The first is real adwiratinn for the brilliant military qualities of which the allied troops have given so many striking proofs since the commencement of the campaign; the se- cond is @ eatisfaction, secret with some, openly avowei by others, at bebolding vanquished and humiliated that Kuselan power which had succeeded in surrounding itsel! ip Germany with an impenetrable prestige. Henceforth that prestige is destroyed; this in a fact not contested now by any one. The Frankfort Post Gazette is informed, by a letter from Vienna, that— ‘A fresh attempt is to be made to re-establish peace. A fresh note will be sent to Russia through the medium of Austria, In this note the demand of the Allied Powers will be once more explicitly stated, and the proposition will be made for re-opening negotiations on this basis: Should Russia not accept this proposition, the military convention between Austria and the Western Powors will be inumediately ratided. Respecting the demands of the Western Powers, the assurance has been given that they are still moderate to an eminent degree. The original programm been retained, nor has a single point been added that is not the natural consequence of the military advantages obtained. Among these consequences is an indemnity for war expenses, which will doubtless tigare ‘as the most important feature of the new negotiations. A fresh treaty is spoken of a4 having been concluded be tween France and England on the one pact and Turkey on ihe other, Its object is to invest the Western Powers with the right of keeping garrisons in varions parts of Turkey. The points specified are Varna, Advianople, Constantinople and Gallipell. Varna and Sinope woul! be used as maritime stations by the Western Powers. INTERESTING FROM RUSSIA. ‘The following despatch from St. Petersburg, September 11, has been received at Hamburg:— ‘The Emperor has issned an order of the day to the ar- my, communicating the fall of Sebastopol. is Mn jesty thanks the garrison of Sebastopol for the avery they bave displayed in defending that stronghold to the very last, and declares that he is convinced all the troops of the empire are ready to follow their example in saeritleing life and everything for the sake of protect- ing the religion, the honor and the independence of Rus- The Emperor adds that he still relfes with confidence upon the firmness and courage of his faithful and attach- ed soldiers to repel every future hostile attempt to violate the sanctity of the Russian territory, while he excuses the recent failure at Sebastopol by Faying there fs a line i npassable even to heroes. mts Zeitung, & Frankfort paper, publishes the following:— We have to speak to-day of three Russian documents. ‘The first is analyzed by the Czas (a Polish journal, pub- lished at Cracow), of the 11th September. It is the last circular of Count Nesselrode to the Kussian logations in Germany. It reeals the combats which have taken place in the north and the south, in Asia and in the Crimea; it shows the sacrifices the war has hitherto cost France, Fnglend and Turkey; it enimorates the defensive forcos of Russia, and then states that Russia will fight till she is completely exhausted, or until one of the belligerent Powers holds forth @ hand for negotiation. The tone of the despatch is catm and dignified. According to this despatch, the Turks have lost 60,000 men, France 40,000, and. Evgiand nearly as many, with- out counting loss in matériel, &, Count Nesselrode does not speak of the Russian losses, but he asserts that Rus- sin still possesses money and men, and that her commerce gees on as usual. The second document is the despatch of the 16th of June, from Cou vi to Prince Gortsehakoff, at Vien Various journals have already given a summa- ry of it, ‘The third document is an exposé of the internal condi- tion of the Russian empire, The following is the sub- stance of i Last year Rustin, suddenly attacked, conld not bring her full force into play.

Not only did she prepare for a long resistance, but she found it possible to take the offensive against an enemy which was the first to declare war against her, and which is far more threatened to- day than Russia. Russia has actually recoiled upon herself to give a new impetus to all her means of resistance. She will av-1it thos, calm, resigned and resolute, until her enemies make her proposals of peace which she can accept with- out giving the lie to her history, or without dishonoriag her future. If her frontiers are attacked her heart is not, and her heart is so firm that the sharpest wea) ns will be blunted if they strike at it, A letter from Warsaw, of the 13th ultimo, says:—As 1 as Marshal Paskiewiteh received intelligence of the ing of the Malakoff he despatched his aide-de-cap, Orlotl Demidoff to Sebastopol.

THE LATEST NEWS. RUMOR OF IMPORTANT PROPOSITIONS TO THE ALLIES FROM AUSTRIA. (By Telegraph to London and Liverpool.} [Lonpon, Sept. 22—2:30 P. M. ‘The meagre report of General Simpvon on the greet affair of the 8th occasioned the second edition of the Times and Daily News to be looked for with interest to-day, bu’ those journals appear without any communication from their special correspondents in the Crimea. There is no news today, The Paris correspondent of the Times repeats canards, The Vienna correspondence does the same. One of the Vienna journals gives an or der of the day alleged to have been issued by Gortscha kof atter bis defeat on August 16th; but at Vienna they manufacture spurious documents and intelligence, ani this pretended okder of the day probably emanates from the same quarter as the one which the Prince was com- pelled totally to disavow, The Cologne Gazette contains an important ramor, Baron Prokesp (it says) has arrived at Paris; he is the dearer of the proposition of an ultimatum, which Aus- tria, if the Western Powers will agree to it, is willing to vend to St. Petersburg. Should Russia decline to accept it, Austria fs willing to declare war. THE CROPS OF EUROPE. The Deftetency in France and Germany [From the Paris Mouitear, ‘The government is very properly occupied with the al- ways serious question of provisions. It is the third time during the last three years that the high price of corn has imposed great vacrifices on the country. in this difficult position of aliairs the government will not tai) to do its duty. Let us examine the state ef the question. France produces annually 82,000,000 hectolitres of corn. Let ns nuppose that this year’s harvest produced only 75,000,000. There would be a deticit ot 7,000,000 bects- litres,’ Now, as long as these 7,000,000 hectolitres are not replaced in France by foreign produce there are n human means for lowering the prices. The great poiut is, therefore, to ioport ax soon and as rapidly as possible that quantity ef corn from abroad. When ‘received, must be spreai as soon ax possible over every part of the empire, and not be allowed to leave it. fhis done, a fall ia prices will be the natural result. Which, th the best means of procuring these 7,000,060 he Is it, as is proposed, by aa arti- ficial reduction of prices? Js it by forcing the holders to sell in a certain manner, in certain localiti i rice? Is ithy givinga’ premium on imvortation? We jo not think so. If by factitious means the government was imprudent enough to lower the average price of rain by causing corn to be sold at @ loss—it it should fhink &¢ to teke inquisitorial monsures against tho hold ers, those resolutions would lead to a result entirely the contrary of the one desired—a panic would seize upon all corn holders—it would disappear from the market—it would be secreted ratber than gold, and a purely artiticin! fall of prices could not be maintained. Foreign corn, finding no advantage in our markets, would no longer enter France, and a famine would be the inevitable re sult, for it is'as impossible to impose a forced price upon provisions in general as to prevent it maintaining its market price. The famous law of the “maximum,” of sad memory, is a striking proof of the evil that may be produced by igno- rance in political economy. Confidence and freedom of trade are the invariable causes of the prosperity of cor merce, and, consequently, the causes of abuniiancs. ‘As regards premiums on the importation of corn into France, some people imagine that the price of corn woul! fall to the full amount of the premium, A trial was made in 1816, which did not succeed. In fact. if the gov- ernment were to offer a premium for the importation of corn, at, the end of very short time foreign producers and traders would increase thefr price to the full amount of the premium, and the measure would only serve to en- nich strangers to the detriment of French producers and consumers. What is then to be done? It ix, as preseribed by the de cree of the 8th of September last, to throw open for more than a year our frontiers for all alimentary urticles from foreign countries, to prohibit exportation trom France, to facilitate transport by railways and canals by rendering | Jess expensive, so as to equalize as much as possible the price of grain throughout the country; to encourage, ex cite and support purchases abroad; to allow the most perfect freedom to transactions, acting at the same time with vigor against any culpable mancuvres, having some times tor object the creation by coalition of artificial rises, and to provoke public and private charity when bread is dear, Finally, to foster home labor by every possible means; for if handiwork is rendered more songhi for and consequently dearer, the workman will obtain a remunerating price, which would in some measure c: pensate for the high price of provisions. It must be own. €d the low price of these articles is not always a sign of prosperity. There are, for instance, countries where corn gues for nothing, and yet where the people are in deep misery, because, owing toa want of industry and ot commercial activity, they cannot purchase in sufficient quantity the first necessaries of life, even at the low price at which they are sold, It is, moreover, an incontestable proof that an inc’ ie of the price of corn alone allows the deficit to be m de good: for, without doubt, foreign producers and traders would not bring it to our markets unless they could count upon @ reasonable profit and completo security in thetr transactions. ‘This is ko true that an increase of the price of corn has, ata propitious moment, given the alarm to commerce. It originated ‘new and important, orders abroad; and not only will the arrivals which will be the consequence thereof have for result a reduction of prices, but th simple knowledge of the fact will lead to the same conclu- sion as soon as the French producers have been made ac- quainted with it, let the country, therefore, be reassured; the govern ment is vigilant, and especially ocoupled with the welfa ‘of the most numerous class; it will know how to tale, a the same time, the most prudent and efficacious measures, and to resist all unreasonable demands, with the stveng?lt which the love of what is gooi and the sentiment of duty bestow, (From the London Times, Sept. 22.] It is not to be denied that in the midst of the triumph ant successes of the last few days on the theatre ot war, the public exulfation is somewhat cheeked by symptoms cf pressure on the monetary and commercial relations of Western Europe, which remind us that the sacrifices of war are not confined to the precincts of the camp or the ranks of armies, This pressure is, moreover, increased by cireums tances which are but indirectly connected with the present state of hostiities, though it is rendered more sensible wy the additional burdens thrown at this time on the public resources. There is no dowlt thal in France, and in most of the countries of central and sould. on Burope, the late harvest has been below the avera and that in this country it fails short of the extraord: nary and lountiful harvest of 854. “The prices of corn and of almost all the first necesssries of life are, therefore, very high, and higher in proportion in most parts of the continent then in this country. In Vrane: the failure of the vine, from the disease which has infest ed most wine growing countries for several years, is an immense addition to the prevailing distress, uot only be- cause it has taised the price of the ordinary sorts of wine to an excessive height, aud so deprived the common people of their habitual beverage, but also because it has exposed the peasantry of a very large part of the empire 1o the loss of their principal crop. Under these cireum- stances, considerable uneasiness exists in many parts of France as to the means of providing adequate subsistexce for the people during the ensuing year, and it is evidunt that some extraordinary efforts will be required of “he government to enable the population to pass through « period of scarcity, In this country the mechanism of the r law adjusts itself to thee Cireumatances; the lege Genend of the poor for rvliet is increased, the poor rates rise till the ad- itional dewsnd is supplied by increased taxation, and we have the certainty that the necessities of the lower classes of society will be provided for at the expense of the community. But in France no poor law exists; there is no established legal provision for the relief of distress, and these emergencies must be met by the direct interfe rence of the State. As the wealth and population of the country inerease, it is probabie that this state of things cannot last, and perhaps one of the {institutions which the imperial government may be led to engraft upon the resent social condition of France is a more regular and liberal scale of allowances to the poor, The Moniteur yesterday published an official article which Ceserves attention from the frank acknowledg- ment it contains of the extreme importance of the sud fect, and from the sound principles of political econ ny to which it pays a somewhat tardy homa, About | v0 years ago, upon the occurrence of the deficient harvest ‘of 1868, the Freneh government adopted a diferent sys tem, and it may be in the recollection of some of our readers that we protested at that time with some warm h against the absurdity of condemning the bakers of Paris to sell their bread at a fixed legat price, which was «o- knowledged to be below the cost price of the articte while the municipal funds of the city of Paris wore wo indemnify the bakers for this sacrifice, ‘The plan was, however, tried, and the citizens of Pais continued to eat cheap bread during a period of scarcity at the expense of the corporation, or rather at their own expense, since the loss had to be supplied by some other form of taxation, We know not how long the experiment lasted, but we are bappy to find that it's not to be re. newed; and the Moni/-ur now lays down with muthority the principles for which we contended on the former oc- casiom. The public in France are told that all artificial attempts to lower the price of corn, or to establish » maximum of value, can only be nded with absurd and injurious results, and that confidence in the freedom of exchanges is the only basis of commercial prosperity and consequently of abundance. The deficiency in the wheat harvest of Franch is esti mated at about 7,000,000 hectolitres, or rather more than 2,000,000 quarters. The question ts, from what source can this quantity of grain be most conveniently «appli but, as the Monileur justly observes, in order that supplies should be introduced into the country, it is ne- ceasary that the price should te ont high. In the north of Europe the harvest has beon short, and the eorn trade with the most prodactive corn districts of the th and east ix obstructed by the war. But the Amerl- been spleniid; an unusually great been under wheat this and the crops have been successfully got in. The Ayailable surplus of whept is ostimajed at abut 5,000,000 quarters from the United States and Canada—a quantity which in more than sufficient to cover twice the deficiency in France. Of this uantity it is stated that about balf will be shipped for rope between the ist of September and the Ist of May; and we have reason lo beliew that very large orders have rigor areas other of the Atlantic for e French i ‘Although the blockade of the southern ports ot Russia, and es) ly of the Sea of Azoff, cuts off the supplies from an extensive and fertile distriet, we see no reason to doubt that measures may still be taken to open the na- vigation of the Panubeand the corn trade of the Princt- <lities, No part of the world produdbs a greater abun- jance of the finest grain, and the harvest of the past summer was sogbundant 48 to compensate the inhabi- tants for the sufferings and losees attending the invasion of the previous year. Had vigoroas measures been taken by the allied governments, even so late as last June, to re-constitute a rational government in the Principalities, and to re-open the navigttion of the Danube, which is checked on one or two insignificant pointa by the enemy, we should ere this not only have accomp! another important object of our politienl intervention in the East, but we should reap itomediate commercial advan- tages from the emancipation of the Danubian provinces, ‘As long as Russia continues to obstruct the Bessarabian thore of the Danube the resulis of her recent invasion ore not entirely removed, and there i# no ground what- ever on which she can claim to prevent the trade of neu. tral ships with the Principalities. This question be- comes one of European interest, and it i8 a point on which the Western lowers acd Turkey are entitled to require the active co-operation of the Austrian govern: ment, as that Power is in occupation of the country. Wecntertain no doubt that, although the prices of grain will probably remain considerably above the aver. age during the present year, those prices will command ‘an ample supply tor thé deficiency of corn which may ex- int in the west of Europe and in some parts of Germany. But the effect of large purchases of corn ant of large and constant remittanzes to the East for the wants of the army and the varied expeuditure of the war, must inevi- tably be felt upon the money market, both in London and in Paris; hence the the banks of England and of France have acted wisely in applying the necessary check to the discount of paper; and it will better enable us to sustain the efforte necessary to bring this contest to an honorable conclusion if we take in sail at a moment which must be one of some difficulty, though, from the healthy nature of our commercial relations, we do not telieve it to be one of danger. In France the case is somewhat different, for some singular Gnancial expertments have been ‘tried within the last uhree years in that country, which all ap- pear to rest upon the assumption that credit can be per- manently substituted for capital. ‘These operations have not only embraced a yast quantity of transactions in France, but have even inclided a vast system of relief to the finances of Austria, We can only repeat that the present time is singularly ill adapted to such hazardous fights, and that neither the aspect of public affairs nor the course of the seasons is favorable to them, We should deeply deplore, and we do not anticipate, an; snden shock to the unlimited credit the present French government has hitherto enjoyed, but the prices of the public securities, even since the fall of Sebastopol, and the avowal of a delicient harvest by the principal organ of the French government, are strong indncoments to act with great caution, both in the financial operations of States and in those of private traders, Paris Correspondence (Sept. 21) of London Times. The government has fairly and frankly admitted that _ there is a deficiency in the harvest to. the extent of se- yen millions of lectolitres of whoat to replace whi there must be purchases made abroad. France will pro- have to expend something like five milifons sterl- foreign corn. Exportation is forbidden, and the ry jaw by which the ports are open for food of ions is prolonged to the end of next year. -In ate the distress occasioned by dear provi- sions, public works wil be kept up, and industry en- couraged by all possible means. But all this cannot be done without money, and iis easy enough to see that be- Z e must be another wan, The Monitieur does e the nature of the deficiencies aifecting the necessaries of life, an unpleasant duty which is left to the Constitutionnel, according to whieh not only two- thirds of the wine is lost, but the apples and pears for cider and perry are gone, and honey, by which another substitute for wine used to be made in the shape of hydromel, is more than usually scarce, Thus the gov- erninent, through its organs, states the prospects of the cowntry as regards the food and drink of the people to be gloomy enough to requice the exercise of patience, pru- dence nui forbearance. | Some there are whi are ready to suggest that, contrary to customary habit, the worst face is put on things, for ‘sake of preparing the way for ne- ceptance of conditions of peace of a more moderate kind than the country would, in the exultation of success, mingled with deep resentment for injuries, be disposed to favor. The quostion fs one of those which cuts two ways, for, on the other hand, sacrifices cannot be exneted without an equivalent of satisfaction, as Russia and her abettors will lind to their cost, if they do not make haste to offer a return of repose to Europe. Let us repeat over again, that in order to justify farther sacrifices, an in- spiring principle must be offered to the nearts of French- men, and that principle is already on their Nips, in the shape of a call for the restoration of Poland, Inauguration of Dom Pedro V. King of ortngal. {From the London Times, September 22.) Although the accession of Dom Pedro V. to the throne of Portugal, and the ineuguration of his reign, is an event not Sromediately connected with the more exciting oc- currences of the present time, we cannot pass over in silence a ceremony which commences, as we hope, along a of prosperity and freedom to Portugal, and insures the maintenance of the most omicable and beneficial re- lations between that couatry ithe united kingdom, It is the singular good fortune of the young Prince who has just assumed the reins of government that he in herfts all the advantages arising from a long period of al and political change, without being in any way ntified with the passions of the revolution. ‘He re- ceives the crown by an unquestioned hereditary right, and he accepts it with a full recognition of the constitn- tional liberties of thenation. Hitherto the sacrifices and efforts of the Peninsular kingdoms to obtain the sub- stance of free governnent, and to establish a limited and popular monarchy on the ruins of a corrupt and bigoted despotism, have failed chiefly from the want of confidence between the crown and the people, and especially from the want of those qualities in the sovereign by which that confidence is inspired. The King of Portugal undertakes the govern- ment of his dominions under more favorable circum- stances, The liberties of the people have not been wrui from him by violence or fear; and his own character ant attainments qualify hin in a remarkable manner to per- form the part of an honest, enlightened, ang progressive ruler. Descended by his mother from Dom Pedro, the most popular of the Princes of the House of Braganza, whose name he bears, the young King is a Coburg by his father’s side, and thus brings new blood to restove the reputation of one of the oldest families in Europe. He therefore adds the ties of relationship to the politieal bonds which have so long subsisted between the Courts of Portugal and England; and, although this country does not aspire to exercise any control over the independent destinies of that kingdom, and has renounced sponta- neously the exclusive commercial system which formerly existed between us, we are convinced that an alliance not less secure and permanent will be found in the iden- tity of the policy and institutions of Portugal with those of the Western Powers. We therefore wish welt to the reign of Dom Pedro V. We have no doubt that an in‘el- ligent and active administration may inealewlably in- crease the wealth and importance of Portugal, and-we sincerely desire that his government may fuliil the most sanguine hopes of his allies and of his people. 9, Spall The Clamor Publico of Madrid, of September 15, co firms the statement already made’ that the proposed al- liance with the Western Powers will be the first question submitted to the Cortes by the government on their re- assembling.
