interest of the Porte to have Eussia for an ally ; but that it was impossible for the Czar to admit the modifications in the Vienna Note . All these arguments have been met ¦ with firmness , and an assurance of the determination of the Porte to resist . Russian agents have swarmed like locusts of late in the Turkish dominions ; and the number of Russian travellers in all the chief capitals of Europe this summer has been remarkable . . . The Times correspondent at Constantinople writes : — " The most important reform that has been projected for many years in the Ottoman Empire is at length about to be accomplished . A firman will shortly be issued , authorizing the admission of Christian evidence in courta of law .
Hitherto no Christian ' s word has been admissible as evidence against a Mussulman , and hence an immunity from punishment and a license to crime to any Mussulman who took care to have none but Christian witnesses to his offence . Practically the rayhas were deprived of anything in the shape of law or justice , and lived in perpetual distrust of their Mussulman fellow-subjects . The working of the new iirman will doubtless be difficult , but , supported by the European Consuls , it will confer an inestimable boon on Turkey , and will do much to remove those causes of complaint which have led to the present crisis , which latter , having produced the firman , furnishes an instance of good resulting from evil which could scarce have been hoped for . " The new bank at Constantinople is to commence operations on the loth of October .

Admiral Dundas Has Paid A Visit To The P...
Admiral Dundas has paid a visit to the Pacha in command of the Dardanelles forts . On the 3 rd inst ., charts of the Black Sea were distributed to the ships of the two fleets . The ships will soon be compelled to leave their present position . A large quantity of stores of all kinds has been sent from Malta to the fleet . The Bellerophon is at Tenedos with invalids from the ships . She has established an hospital on the healthiest part of the island , under the yellow ( quarantine ) flag . It is reported that the Captain of the JBellerophon , Lord George Paulet , has been placed under arrest by the Admiral , for negligence in carrying-out orders , and that the matter has been referred to the Admiraltv .
A telegraphic despatch from Vienna , received in Paris on Thursday , announces that , upon the demand of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe , new conferences had taken place , at which it was decided that the representatives of the Powers at Constantinople should declare that the Vienna Note does not contain the dangers which the Porte sees in it . No other collective step will be taken . The effect of these conferences at Constantinople , if indeed they take place , is neutralized by the Nesselrode Notes and the diplomatic rupture at Vienna .
Austria, As We Always Predicted (And We ...
Austria , as we always predicted ( and we take no credit to ourselves for the prophecy ) , has backed out of the Conference of the Four Powers , deserted Turkey , and positively taken sides with Russia . On the 14 th , Austria despatched a strong note to the Porte , declaring that it was absolutely necessary for Turkey to yield , and that Europe could not remain longer in the situation in which the Eastern question had thrown her . M . de Nesselrode , in sending the Russian memorandum to Vienna , to M . do MeyendorfF , informed him that he was to leave nn official copy with M . de Buol , but that ho was not to pursue the same course with respect to the other representatives of the Great Powers . By that mode of acting , Russia desired to intimate that she recognised only Austria as tho mediating Power in the Eastern dispute .
The Nomesis of the Hungarian war ih looming . Austria sacrifices her traditional policy to her fenrs of a revolutionary war : and in the connivance of Austria with his designs , Nicholas no doubt chuckles to find one moro article of Peter tho Great ' s testament accomplished . On the receipt of tho last Russian despatches it seems the Austrian Government summoned the Conference ; and as Prance and England could not be brought to insist upon Turkey ' s unconditional submission , Austria , isolated from tho other Powers , despatches the pressing noto to tho
Porto , not exactly in the name of tho Conference , but with a . hint that it is in accordance with the presumed intentions of Franco and Englnnd . This innolonco on the part of Austria is only surpassed by that of M . do Nesselrode , who , in his despatch to M . do McyeiidorfT , speaks throughout of Austria us tho chief Power in tho Conference , only referring in n secondary and subordinate senso to Prance and England . Tho tone of tho whole despatch is clearly dosigned to flatter the 3 'oung Emperor of Austria , tho conquest of whoso heart and hand is to bo Jinally accomplished at Olmiitz .
The Emperor of Austria arrived at Olmiitz , on tho 10 th . M . do Meyendorfi * left Vienna on tho 15 l . h for Warsaw , to nwait the Emperor of Russia . Tho British AmbaRRiulor was to go to Ohnutse on tho 23 rd , to remain till tho 27 th . The Czar arrives on tho 21 tli . The King of PriiHHia does not fro to Olmiitz , as his presence thoro would bo interproted in a Russian sense . Jfroderie William can only afford to bo Russian at a distance , Ho han 110 policy of his own . Tho King of Prussia haH junfc appointed Prineo Frederic William , son of tho Prince of Prussia , to bo Major in tho first regiment of tho Guards . Tho Hereditary Grand Duko , of Russia arrived in _ Moscow ton dftyn ago . The Prineo and Princess Frederick of tho Netherlands lmvo iiIho arrived in Unit capital . Mr . Jackson , tho now American Ambassador to Austria , 1 ms arrived at , Vienna . U in said that ho goon to Olnnitz , to Hotllo" tho KoBHtn . affair . Mr . . Ja < : knon , wo suspect , will bo found of different mottle to Lord Westmovolnnd .
Tho Empm-or of Austria wont to Vienna on the 21 st innt ., to roeeivo tho lost and found rogalia of Hungary Yet , we are told thai , the AuHtrian Government , to hIiow thoir contempt , for tho lately discovered rognlia which tho H . ungarin » H regard with BuporstitiouB veneration , Iioh ordered thorn to bo placed in tho Vienna Bchal / . ohammor —ft collection of " curiositioa . " The word indicates tho
true character of all such baubles—Austrian or Hungarian . Austria has had another brush at Smyrna ; but this time it is against a weaker power . The cordial reception given to the American frigate St . Louis at La Spezzia , and the ball given to the Queen of Sardinia by the Americans , has increased the enmity of Austria to Piedmont . When the JBellona , Austrian frigate , arrived at Smyrna , she found a Sardinian frigate stationed in the roads , but omitted the customary salute ; and moreover , the Austrian captain indulged in some observations insulting to Sardinia . The Sardinian captain dared the Austrian to repeat hi 3 insults on shore .
The Great Reviews In Prussia Were Termin...
The great reviews in Prussia were terminated on Friday last . About eighty foreign officers were present at the manoeuvres . The officers of the English army proceeded from Berlin to the camp at Olmutz . The festivities at Berlin included a performance at the Opera , and a grand banquet given by the King .
Louis Napoleon Reviewed The Camp Of Sato...
Louis Napoleon reviewed the camp of Satory on Tuesday . The troops were formed into three sides of a square , the carriages of the Empress and of the Court , and a consi derable crowd of spectators , occupying the fourth side . The Emperor then proceeded into the centre of the square , accompanied by a numerous staff and a considerable number of foreign ' officers , Austrian , English , Piedmontese , and Dutch . The Emperor , having on his right Prince Napoleon , and on his left General Prince Jablonowski , of the Austrian service , then delivered the following address to the troops : — -
" Officers , non-commissioned officers , and soldiers!—At the moment when the camp of Satory is about to be rased , I desire to testify to you my entire satisfaction . The three divisions which have in succession occupied it have manifested that discipline and confraternity , and that love for the profession of arms which keep up the military spirit so necessary for a great nation . In fact , who is it that in difficult times has supported empires , if not these assemblages of armed men taken from the people , broken into discipline , animated with the sentiment of duty , and who preserve , in the midst of peace , when generally egotism and interest in the end enervate everything , that devotedness to the country founded on self-denial , and that love of glory which is founded on a contempt for riches P
That it is which has always made armies the sanctuary of honour ; and , consequently , as long as peace continues , there exists a community of sentiment , I may even say a sort of esprit de corps , between us and foreign armies . We love and esteem those persons who in their own country feel and act as we do , and as long as political events do not turn them into enemies wo are happy to greet them as comrades and as brothers . Receive , my friends , with my encomiums for your good conduct , my thanks for the marks of attachment which you have given to me and to the Empress . Reckon on my affection , and be certain of this , that next to the honour of having been three times elected by a whole nation , nothing can afford me greater pride than to command such men as you . "
After tho defile of the troops the Empress retired , and the Emperor gave a collation to all the officers near Marshal Magnan ' a tent . In front of the tent was to be seen a colossal bust of the Emperor , made in twelve hours by M . Roubaud , a pupil of Pradier . At six o ' clock the Emperor returned to Saint Cloud "amidst loud acclamations . " The camps at Satory and at Helfaut ( near St . Omer ) aro to be respectively broken up on tho 2 < tth and 27 th of this month . The mayors of the various towns which Louis Napoleon is to traverse in the course of his progress in the northern departments , aro assisting the prefects and sub-prefects in " getting up the steam" of loyalty and spontaneous enthusiasm . The Emperor and Empress arrived at Arras on
Thursday evening . A brilliant reception had been prepared for them . Indeed the towns are vicing with each other in splendid decorations , addresses , balls , illuminations for tho occasion . Boulogne distinguishes itself by an addresH of congratulation and compliment to tho Emporor from the English inhabitants . The English residents in Boulogne ( who are not bigoted politicians as a class ) may reasonably feel grateful to tho man who keeps things quiet in Franco , and who has certainly hitherto shown himself animated with friendly feelings towards England . Tho Prince do Chimay is sent by tho King of Belgium , to Lille , to compliment tho Emporor on his visit to that frontier town . It is remarked that at tho marriage of tho Duo < le Brabant tho French ambassador was conspicuou « ly absent .
The French Protectionists express alarm at tho decrees allowing the free admission of corn , cattle , and meat . They Hpocially object to the latter decrees , and admitting tho urgency of the present crisis , ask why the tirno for tho ro-imponition of the duties is not fixed . Tbft JScho Agricalu has been warned for having told tho truth on the corn question . It in accused of having created a factitious riso in prices , tho fact being that tho Government ban laboured to create a factitious fall . A -warning has been given to tho Constitutionnol , for having in Hpito of an " unofficial warning , " pernisted in nvntmnatically praising , in its bulletin of tho Bourse , certain industrial enterprises , and depreciating otherH , from interested motives .
On iucHday lunt the Odeon Theatre was reopened with a new play by MoYy , tho Provencal improvisators , called Ousmem the . liravo . Thin . Don Gasman in supposed to bo nn ancestor of t , ] u , Empress ; and tho play was written by MoYy , who in a sort of Court ; poet , for the purpose of stirring up the loyally of tho students and working men of tho quarter of tho Odeon . Queon Christina of Spain was present at ; tho first , performance ; but tho Emporor and Empress , who woro expected from St . Cloud , did not ; make their appearance , on account of a slight indisposition , it was understood , of the Empress . Tho cloth manufactory of M . Jourdain-Ribouloau , at Louriera , tho largest in Franco , in which-about 1200
workmen were employed , was completel y deetroved hvfl ^ on Sunday night Inst .

Germain . " * ¦ ¦ ' * > General . Voirol , an ex-General of Division and Governor-General of Alpferra , died on the 15 th inst jr " was Commander of the Forces at Strasburg in 1836 when the present French Emperor attempted an insurrection in that town .
Another Shuffle Of The Cards At Madrid. ...
Another shuffle of the cards at Madrid . General Ler sundi's ignoble Cabinet has fallen . Sartorius ( Count of St . Louis ) has formed a new administration . The new Ministers are Sartorius , Interior and President ; of the Cabinet ; Blaser , War ; Domenech ( ProgresistaV Finance ; the Marquis de Molins , Marine , or State ( Foreign Affairs ) . The other names are not mentioned . M . Sartorius and M . de Molins were members of the last ministry of which Marshal Narvaez was president the first as Minister of the Interior , and the second as Minister of Marine . At that time M . de Castro was President of the Congress , and in that capacity seconded the plana of the Ministry . At the present moment he occupies an elevated judicial post . M . Domenech was Minister of Finance with M . Olozaga . General Blaser is not known as a politician . It is believed he will make room for Narvaez .
The Marquis de Molins was at Paris when he was informed of the fall of the government ; and would immediately set out for Madrid . M . Collantes , who held the portfolio of Public Works in the late Ministry , will , it is believed , be Minister of tha Interior , and M . Llorente ( now in Paris ) will take tha Finance department . The Queen returned to Madrid on the evening of tha 16 bh from La Granja . Before proceeding to the palace , she visited the Church of Atocha . The new Cabinet has a more constitutional look thant
the last ; but in Madrid intrigues and " influences , " govern all . It may be expected of the present Ministry , that thes Cortes will be speedily convened : the Protestant Cemeteries question settled : Marshal Narvaez recalled : and the slave-trade in Cuba less openly carried on under the Spanish flag : but those who expect much of Spanish ministers , however liberal and honest their complexion , do not take into account the more secret agencies by which the Queen's Government is carried on in constitutional ! Spain . The deposition of the Queen is liberally discussed in certain political circles at Madrid .
The King Of Belgium, Accompanied By His ...
The King of Belgium , accompanied by his two sons an < 3 ¦ everal Ministers of his Cabinet , has visited the statistical congress at Brussels . During the discussion of the reports of the various sections a delegate stated that a statistical congress would be held in Paris in 1855 . Mr . Horace Say , the political economist , objected on political grounds to the choice of that city , and proposed Turin . This little incident created no slight sensation . The regular session of tho States General of Holland was opened by tho King in person on the 19 th inst . The speech was received in London within two hours after its delivery , by submarine telegraph . The recent session of tho Chambers was an extraordinary session , convoked for the discussion of the new law against tho aggressions ot tlie Papacy .
