TUB.KEY.—The intelligence from the Crimea has 'not yet got beyond the form of the telegraphic despatch, of varying authenticity. The week opened, on Monday, with an official correction of the news previously transmitted.

"The Duke of Newcastle presents his compliments to the editors of the morning newspapers; and having received, late this evening, intelligence which he thinks may relieve the anxiety of the many families who are look- ing for accounts from the East of the safe landing of those who are dear to them, begs to place at their disposal a translation of the despatch of Lord Raglan. "17 Portman Square, Sunday night, eleven p.m."

The despatch-enclosed was as follows-

" The Duke of Newcastle received late last (Sunday) night a telegraphic message from Lord Raglan, dated September 16.

"It states that the Allied armies arrived at the. place of disembarkation near the Old Fort, in latitude 45, at break of day upon the 14th; and before night they had succeeded in landing nearly all their infantry and part of the artillery. "On the 15th, the swell upon the shore .considerably impeded operations, but some progress was made; and the exertions of the fleet under the im- mediate command of Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons excited the admira- tion of the army, and were in lea above all praise.

"The surf continued on the 16th (the date of the despatch); never- theless the disembarkation of the horses and baggage was proceeding with the utmost rapidity. .

"(The Old Fort is about thirty miles North of Sebastopol, and nearly twenty South of Eupatoria.)" Another semi-official despatch found its way into the ifoniteur. "Vienna, Staiday Evening.--Omar Pasha received at Bucharest, on the 22d, the following despatch, dated Old Fort, the 17th, and signed by Marshal St. Arnaud and Lord Raglan. We beg leave to inform your Highness, that we have disembarked successfully to the North of Sebastopol. The enemy offered no opposition as we occupied our positions. This circumstance has produced the most profound impression on the, Tartar population, who do

i

not conceal the sympathy for our cause. All our guns and materiel have been landed ; and we march on Sebastopol with every confidence in the suc- cess of our grand enterprise.'"

Other despatches, not laying claim to such high authority as the fore- going, and arriving in the ordinary way, add something to the above statements.

From Bucharest we are told, that "the siege-train and heavy baggage would probably not be landed at Old Fort, but would be earned by the fleet to some place nearer to Sebastopol; where they could be landed under the protection of the army, and thus save the fatigue and difficul- ties of conveyance by land."

From Paris and Berlin the telegraph reports, and probably with some truth, that a division of Turks and two regiments of the Allies landed at Eupatoria on the 13th, the day before the debarkation of the main army at Old' Fort ; that Prince Menschikoff would meet the Allies on the Alma, or the Katcha • that the Russians would be attacked before reinforce- ments, supposed to be en route, could reach them ; and that their num- .

s were 25,000 present, and 15,000 expected. Nor has the report of bet cietory been wanting. It was rumoured, on Wednesday, that Prince Ilerischikoff and 18,0Q0 Russians had surrendered,—a rumour suspected tube of Bourse parentage. Another report is that the Russian fleet had ailed out to attack the transports ; but if they did, they evidently missed

them.

The report that the Austrians intended to occupy the Principalities ex- clusively turns out to be incorrect. The Turks have pushed an advance to the Pruth ; have occupied Brailow and Galatz ; and have even made a descent upon Satunovo in Bessarabia, from the Dobrudscha. The Rus- sian Generals were at Bender and Ismail.

The intelligence from Asia reports new victories gained by the Cir- cassian& The Lieutenant of Schamyl is described as having overthrown General Wrangel in two combats, and to have effected a junction with his chief near Tiflis.

GEIMAliY.—The Austrian Government has issued a circular on the Eastern question to all the German Courts, except those of the two Meek- lenbergs, which are not parties to the Austro-Prussian treaty of April 20. This document is signed by Count Buol, and dated the 14th September. Addressed more to German, than to Europe, it yet has great interest for us, as defining the Austrian position unmistakeably. Count Buol de- scribes the recent Russian explanations in reply to the Austrian note of the 10th August, as "decidedly repulsive ; but,' he adds, "they confirm the fact of the evacuation of the Principalities." Although profoundly regretting that Russia refused to negotiate on the bases of the four condi- tions, the Austrian Government declares that it cannot depart from those conditions, "with which the hopes of peace and a secure future are now solely linked" ; and, while attaching great importance to the latest Russian declarations, so far as they have set aside the danger of a direct conflict be- tween the two empires, the Austrian Minister does not fail to point out, that whereas Russia first represented her retrograde movement and atti- tude of defence as exclusively one of military strategy, in his last circular Count Nesselrode speaks of them as sacrifices offered to the interests of Prussia and Austria. Count Buol, however, accepts the latter view with- out disputing it, and considers that it indicates a political and not a mili- tary position. The evacuation of the Principalities, which has been brought about by a conjunction of causes, "amongst which we regard the development of our forces as the most decisive," is now accomplished, and the weight of the fact falls into the balance of the hopes of peace. But the Austrian Government is not blind to the fact, that " the decla- rations of the Russian Cabinet have nothing in them of a definite character, and that they carry with them no sufficient valid security beyond the events of the moment. When Russia occupied Moldavia and Wallachia, and after the Porte had already declared war, she announced her intention of remain- ing upon the defensive, and of not passing the Danube. Circumstances soon changed this resolution. Hitherto "Russia has not abandoned one of her claims. She has offered no guarantees for European or German interests. Should circumstances turn to her advantage, she may again seize her pledge, which, yielding at present to necessity, she has renounced. In the face of these circumstances, we must still continue to rely upon our force in order to fulfil our duties towards the Powers who are united with us for similar ob- jects, as well as towards ourselves. We have entered into no engagements to bring about a final decision by active advance against Russia ; but we must remain strongly armed, and completely free as to our decisions, in or- der to be assured that our important interests shall be sufficiently protected under all changes of events ; and hereafter, during the negotiations for the reEstablishment of peace, that our efforts for the restoration of legal security and a state of peace in Europe shall attain their objects."

Austria considers that she has a right to the support of the allied Go- vernments by the "armed attitude" she has assumed in defence of Ger- man interests.

"What may be the attitude to be assumed in case a state of complica- tions which we did not foresee, and which we will endeavour if possible to avert, should render it as a law for us to pass to a coercive state—this ques- tion is not before us, and for this eventuality the previous special engage- ments will be insufficient. But Russia, so long as we do not attack her, can- not convert our occupation of the Principalities into a cause for assault upon US' without finding entire Germany united with us."

Count Buol is convinced that the additional article of the Austro-Prus- sian treaty binds the Confederation to assist Austria if she be attacked ; because in the Principalities she defends European rights, and the in- tegrity of Turkey in accord with the Sultan and his allies.

"The assent of the Diet to this proceeding cannot fail us, even though it be not in fact sufficiently, enough proved through previous negotiations and manifestations. His Majesty our august master and Emperor has, with sen- timents of federal companionship, secured the powerful aid of Prussia in the most binding manner, in case we shall be attacked, always provided Austria does not take part in the war against Russia, and specially if she does not cross over the Russian frontier. Prussia, in ease of attack by Russia upon Austrian territory, would regard the same as dangerous to its own interests and those of Germany, and assist Austria with all the means at her dis- posal."

Count Buol asks for a security that the Confederation will support Austria' and recommends the Diet to adopt the four conditions, which "in part promote German interests, and nowhere come into conflict therewith." But if "the Confederation, in giving full assent to the four points, should make a distinction between general European and special Germanic interests, in such manner as to stand forward especially for such conditions as regard the latter,—such, namely, as the cessation of the previous protectorate in the Danubian countries, and for the freedom of Danubian commerce' —in such case we shall raise no objection to this mode of treating the matter."

The text of the rejoinder of the Austrian Government to the Russian reply has also been published. It is dated the 12th, and is addressed to Count Esterhazy, Austrian Minister at St. Petersburg. It purposely, however, abstains from entering into the question so fully as the circular note of the 14th, and is mainly confined to the most courteous expression of regret that the Austrian proposals were so summarily rejected, and an acknowledgment of the propriety of the step taken by Russia in evacuating the Principalities.

FRANCE.—Paris is to have a Police regularly organized on the London plan. This important fact was announced in the lioniteur of Monday, by the publication of a report from M. Billault, the Minister of the Interior, to the Emperor, and the accompanying decree embodying the report. M. Billault describes the Emperor as struck by the superior organization of the London Police ; as anxious that the Parisian Police should not be in- ferior to it ; and as ordering a comparative examination of the two sys-

tems. He then describes the London system, and the security it affords to life and property ; and contrasts the number of constables alone, 4764, with the 750 sergens de ville to whom the security of Paris is intrusted.

" In presence of these figures, I think it my duty to request from your Majesty such an increase of the personnel as will allow of a more efficacious

organization. The Municipal Police of Paris would then comprise, under

the direction of a head Commissary of Police, assisted as now by a sub-chief and twelve clerks—lst, For the general services, such as they are now or- ganized, 12 officiers de paix, 12 principal inspectors, 18 brigadiers, 31 sub-

brigadiers, 461 sergens de ville, and 20 supernumeraries, in all 554 men. 2dly, For the constant surveillance of the twelve arrondissements, 12 officers de pair, 36 brigadiers, 288 sub-brigadiers, 2415 sergens de ville, and

241 supernumeraries ; in all 2992 men. There would be besides under the authority of the Prefect, the Commissary of Police, charged with thegeneral control of the service out of the prefecture, assisted by a secretary, an officier

de pair, a brigadier, two sub-brigadiers, and 20 agents. The service of un- interrupted surveillance of the twelve arrondissements (the only part of this combination which is a new arrangement for Paris) would be based on a to-

pographical division of the sections into a certain number of beats, each of which would be uninterruptedly gone over by the agent appointed to the exclusive surveillance of his ground. If that agent should require assistance, those on the adjacent beats would, at a given signal, proceed to the spot ; and, if necessary, they would also be supported by the double reserve of

agents and guards established at the central guard-house of the section. In

each section, two sub-brigadiers would be always on duty, one remaining at the guard-house with the reserve, and the other patrolling the different beats

to see that all the agents are properly performing their duties. In each arrondissement also, three brigadiers would divide the constant inspection of the service, the whole of which for the arrondissement and all the sections

belonging to it would be under the direction and responsibility of an officier de paix. By this combination, without reckoning the small guard-houses, which, by way of offices of information, may be established in the different quarters, there will be in each section a central guard-house, which, by being specially constructed, may, in addition to the part required for the men on duty, fire-engines, and a reserveturnished by the guard of Paris,

contain a residence for the commissary of police of the section, the officier de pair, and the whole or part of the men attached with him to the surveillance of that section. The rent paid by these functionaries and agents would cer-

tainly cover the interest of the outlay ; and this permanent centralization of the public force will present evident advantages over its :present dissemi- nation."

The annual expense M. Billault computes at 5,600,000 francs—" three millions less than that of London." Although it will have to support the greatest part of the additional expense, the Municipality of Paris, he . avers, will hail the new arrangement with satisfaction. But as the State will benefit, it is fitting it should share the expense ; and that share is fixed, on the precedent of Lyons, at two-thirds. M. Billault calculates

that this additional item in the budget will be compensated by the sup- pression of military posts, and the setting free of soldiers from garrison

duty in Paris. A credit has been opened towards the payment of the new organization, in order that it may be in full force at the opening of the Exhibition next year.

The Emperor and Empress are now at Boulogne ; and the military ma- nceuvres on a grand scale have recommenced. The Empress arrived on

Monday ; and in the reception accorded to her, the fishwomen, as usual, played a prominent part. General Baraguay d'Hilliers was also present. The Emperor, on horseback, escorted his wife from the station.

On Saturday night the theatre of Boulogne was burnt to the ground. It is remarked that the Emperor was present directing the efforts of the firemen, and that he was as busy as any one in passing buckets of water from hand to hand.

By an Imperial decree, foreign brandies of every kind are now ad- mitted into France on payment of a duty of 15 francs the hectolitre of pure alcohol ; being a considerable diminution in the present tariff. In fact, the law of 2d July 1836 established for foreign spirits four classes, according as they came from wine, cherries, molasses, or rice, and im- posed on them duties varying from 20f. to 501. and 200f.

THE Bwrie.—The French ships are on their way home ; and it is understood that the British sailing-ships are under orders to return.

The main body of the screw fleet, however, at the latest dates, were off the island of Nargeu, near Revel ; which, as some reports state, was likely to be attacked. The weather was becoming very rough.

The Alban war-steamer was ordered on the 12th to convey twenty-five Russian prisoners and several wounded soldiers to Abo. She got aground thirteen miles from Abe; and Captain Otter rowed up to that port in his

gig, with a flag of truce flying, to request the authorities to send for the prisoners. The Russians complied ; but they also sent a steamer to assist the Alban in getting off. The assistance was of no avail, and the Russian steamer departed with the wounded. Next day she returned with a second steamer to render assistance.

"Happily," says a letter from the Baltic, " these adjuncts were dispensed with, as the Alban was hove off by the vigorous exertions of her own crew. On the fortunate occurrence of the Alban sliding off the rock, the Russian officers gave a loud national hurrah ; indicating their identity with the safety of the ship they had been so long on board. On the Saturday the officers departed, with many expressions of good-will, and regret that they could not present souvenirs for the hospitality they had received. The • English on the following day (Sunday) were much mystified in seeing their old friend the Nordvakten towing a cutter. Speculation was rife in every man's mind—what could be the object of their visit ? These conjectures were soon set at rest by the Flag-Lieutenant, Baron von Bioge, coming on -

board, stating that he had been requested by General Wendt, Commauder- in-chief at Abo, to request the acceptance of a bullock, some sheep, potatoes,

8:e., for the crew, and cream and butter, with a cask of capital Madeira, for- the officers, as the prisoners (officers) had informed him that they had polished off' the remaining stock of the sherry."

SWEDEN.—The position of Sweden in the present contest has not failed to draw attention to the slightest movements of her Government. It is

stated that on the 14th instant the Secret Committee of the Parliament held a sitting, the King himself presiding ; and that the subject of their deliberation was the pressure exerted by the Western Powers, and Eng-

land especially, upon the Swedish Government in relation to the war. It is reported also that a new credit has been demanded of the Diet ; but that, in order to obtain the money, as the delegates have no confidence in the present Ministry, the King will have to dismiss them and appoint more decided men.

SPAIN.—The Spanish capital and the provinces are engaged in the elections. The programme of the Liberal Union, including Moderados and Progressistas, lays down these bases of a policy,—the national sow-

reignty ; the monarchy of Isabella the Second, and responsible govern- ment; the national guard, liberty of the press, financial reform, and pub- lic credit ; reorganization of the army and navy ; the promotion of rail- ways; the alienation of mortmain property in aid of the liquidation of the national debt ; centralization for national interests, with 'local insti- tutions for local purposes.

PORTUGAL—The King of Portugal and the Duke of Oporto arrived at Lisbon on the 17th September ; first undergoing quarantine for two days. On landing, they were met by a multitude of people ; from the quay they went to the cathedral, where a Te Deum was sung; and in the evening there was an illumination. Queen Christina had departed on the 15tle in the French steamer Newton, for Bordeaux.

CANA.DA.—The intelligence from Quebec reaches to the 11th Septem- ber. The Governor-General opened the new Parliament on the 5th, and on the 8th the Macke Cabinet resigned. In his opening speech, the Governor-General had pointed out that the Imperial Parliament had pass- ed bills enabling the Canadian Parliament to alter the constitution of the Legislative Council and to deal with the Clergy Reserves ; that the question of the seig,norial tenures would require immediate attention ; that the tariff might be revised with advantage • and he informed them that a treaty had been concluded between the Queen and the Government of the United States, and recommended them to bring the tariff of 1849 into harmony with the provisions of that treaty. But none of these questions came before the Assembly. On the choice of a Speaker, the Ministry met with their first defeat. There were three candidates,—Mr. Macdonald, the late Speaker ; Mr. Cartier, for whom the Ministers voted ; and Mr. Sicotte, the candidate of the new party, designated Rouge." Mr. Cartier was defeated by 62 to 59, against the vote of the Ministry ; Mr. Sicotte was elected by 76 to 41, Ministers voting for him ; Mr. Macdonald's name was not put to the House. Before the House could, on the 7th, come to the consideration of the address, a heated debate arose on the va- lidity of an election-return. A Mr. Brodeur, returning-officer for Begot, had, in the absence of all candidates, been elected by the electors present, and had signed the return himself. It was proposed to examine Mr. Brodeur; and this was carried against Ministers. Finally, the Anti- Ministerial vote stood at 45 for and 63 against them. On the 8th, Mr. Hincks resigned ; his resignation was accepted ; and Sir Alan Macnab was called to form a Cabinet. It was reported that he had adopted the entire programme of the late Ministry, secularization of the Clergy Re- serves and all, with many of Mr. Hincks's colleagues.

The following list of the new Canadian Ministry is published by the American journals. "Upper Canadians—Sir Allan M•Nab, President of the Council ; William Cayley, Inspector-General ; John A. Macdonald, Attorney-General, West; Henry Smith, Solicitor-General, West ; Robert Spence, Postmaster-General ; John Ross, Speaker, Legislative Council.

"Lower Canadians—N. A. MorM, Commissioner of Crown Lands; E. P. Taehe, Receiver-General ; Jean Chabot, Commissioner of Public Works; L. T. Drummond, Attorney-General ; P. J. 0. Chaveau, Provincial Secretary; Dunbar Ross, Secretary."

UNITED STATES.—The Baltic arrived at Liverpool on Wednesday, with advicea from New York to the 16th.

The Washington correspondent of the Hew York Herald gives currency to a whisper to the effect that Mr. Soule had purchased Cuba from the Spanish Government ; and that France and England "favour the sale, from motives of sound international policy."

The San Francisco papers amuse their readers by giving accounts of the doings of the Anglo-French fleet in the Pacific. There were at Ho- nolulu, on the 21st, four English men-of-war—the President, Pique, Amphitrite, and Virago ; and four French men-of-war—l'Euridice, la Forte, l'Obligado, and PArtemise. The English mounted 120, the French force 130 guns. The Admirals David Price and Fevrier des Pointes had an interview with the Sandwich Monarch on the 21st; and on the 24th the combined fleet sailed away, bound, it was supposed,. for Sitka, or in search of the Russian fleet. During their stay, the King and Queen of the Sandwich Islands, their family and court, enjoyed a short cruise in the Virago.

It was currently reported in the United States that the Sandwich Islands would be annexed ; and the journals are engaged in a discussion on the question whether they shall be received into the Union as a Terri- tory or as a State.
