TURICET.—Considerable changes appear to have taken place in the die. position of the Russian forces since the battle of Giurgevo on the ath. For some cause as yet unexplained, the Russians have once more made a rearward movement ; the troops at Fratesehti falling back behind the left bank of the .Argiseb, thew near Oltenitza moving upon Obileschti, and those at Kalarasch taking the route to Slobodseja on the Jaloninitza. General Liprandi is again reported to be at Plojesti and Kimpina, having abandoned Slatina. The tenour of the telegraphic information, some of which is authenticated, leads to the belief that the Russians are resuming the line of the Jalomnitza. A German report makes the lles. sians once more on their way to the Sereth ; but it- is not borne out. Except a forward movement upon Frateschtil no movement of the Turks which would compel the Russians to retreat 13 recorded. But as the pre- sence of the Allies between Varna and Devno has released the Turkish troops from the duty of guarding the Balkans, nearly the whole of Omar Pasha's army is on the Danube, at Nieopolis, at Giurgevo, atOlteiraaa, at Silistria, and in the Dubrudscha. The accounts of Russian movements near Moldavia again point to the concentration of troops in Podolia, Vol. hynia, and Cherson, to the number of 300,000; an exaggeration, as doubt ; but it would seem that the enemy is growing uneasy at the gather-

ing strength and increased activity of Austria. -

The telegraph speaks of a movement of Anglo-French troops " upon Bucharest -'; of French troops alone " upon Silistria and Kustenje and of the departure of " fifteen ships from Baltalik, with Allied troops on board, for Anapa." These are the latest rumours. The Russians have been too successful in Asia. -Paralyzed by in- trigues against General Guyon, and by the indecision of Zarif Pasha the commander-in-chief, the Turkish army at Kars has neglected every- op- portunity of assailing the enemy, and left to the irregulars organized and commanded by General Kmety the burden of active operations. by sudden movements, harassed the Ruiiiaba on the Amschel, day and night. The telegraph reports a defeat of the Turkish array at Kars; atal adds that the Russians invest Kari. MeanWhile, the defeat, of Sefim Pasha near Urzughetti, by the Russians under Andranik-off, has been con- firmed. The Turks lost a great Many men ; and the Russian account adds, thirteen cannon, several Standards, and other materiel.

Lord Raglan, scandalized by the great irregularities in costume com- mitted by the officers of the army in Bulgaria, had issued the following .memorandum. " Vuoia, Tidy 15.—The Commander-in-chief has noticed With great re- gret the Very unbecoming manner in which the officers of the Army dim themselves. He does not now refer to their triodedf 'dressing out of uniform, because that has been entirely forbidden, and he has no reason to suppose that his orders in that respect are disobeyed t; buthenewdetsirea to draw at- tention to the style of dressing when in uniforni.,- The aimeord may be worn, the jacket may be the regimental jacket, and the cap may be the uniform forage-cap ; but such want of care is shownie wearing the uniform in a be- coining manner, that it is difficult t9 recognizethe officers in COLO cases as officers at all. The shell-jacket is allowed telly 'not underneath a red flannel shirt, with nothing round the neck,not even a white shirt-mi- ler. Often a tuba a is wore over the forage-cap, the chin unshaven ; ted there is such an gloaanee of What is befitting' the appearance of at officer in the whole person;lliat no one could be otherwise than struck with the gene-

ral disregard of what is proper. • -

" Under these circumstances, the Commander of the Forces calla upon the officers of the Army themselves to correefthia evil. He apes not desire to in- sist that their jackets should always be battened from the bottom to the top; but he does hope, that, having as much 'regard for good'apPearatice in uni- form as they would have out of uniform,, they will 'beirm mind that the uniforMdirected to be worn ought to be put-on with Care and attention, no matter in what country theArmy may be serving, nor what the service may be in whioh the Army happens to be engaged. - "The Commander of the Forces requests general officers to make known these observations to the officers of their divisions and brigades ; and he ex- pects from the officers themselves an answer to his remarks in the change which willBbye maorcir,deeby them the style of dressiag• J. B.. B. ESTCOVRT, GERMANY.-110 .Getman Diet adopted the AustresPrussitm treaty by

15 to 2; the dissentient states being the two Alecklenbergs. '

The Germama papers, put forward sonoe-statements of the conditions on which, it is alleged,. England and France are ready to negotiate. These ,conditions are—the .immediaW evammtion of the PrinciPalitiOes sad. die establishment of a, protectorate of the Five Powers in.Moldo-Wellaehia; the free navigation of the Danube and the Black Sea; and an intlen,mity for the expenses of tho war. The King of Prussia having paid a viait to Munich, went, thence to Ischl, where he met the Emperor of Austria. The Emperor returred to Vienna on Wednesday; and gave audience to -General Hess, who had arrived at Vienna from the army on Tuesday.. The Austrian "army of operations" is said to number 335,000 men. The different corps composing this army are stationed atUdwarsely, tier- manstadt, in the Bukowmar at Szee*edin, and in Gallicie, General Coro- nini commands a division of 30,000 men, equippedfor separate tiperaUoma

probably in Wallachia. , . • Russta.—By an ukase of the 5th July, a modification on import ad transit duties between Russia and Prussia has been ordained upon 107 articles, to the amount, in some instances, of from 20 to 20 per cent- Journals devoted to Russia see in these modifications anititention on the part of the St. Petersburg Government to enter, into a new and more liberal commercial system; but it to be apprehended, as all fiscal mea- sures adopted on the land-side frontier have their origin in polities, that effects will cease with causes, and the old quasi-prohibitive system be restored.

Letters from St. Petersburg speak of the formation of skating battalions

at Cronstadt for winter service. • - - Taos Baraac.—The combined fleet weighed anchor from Baresund on the 21st July, and proceeded to Ledsund, where 'they formed a junction with the paddle-wheel steamers under Admiral Plumridge. Next morn- ing, Admiral Chads took the Edinburgh, the Hogue, the Blenheim, the Ajax, the AmphIon, the Leopard, the Odin, and the Valorous, and steamed for the Bomarsund. As they approached, the enemy opened fire from a recently-formed mud-battery ; but all the shots fell short. Admiral Cheds, anchored out of range, but in a position that would leave the ten-ina° guns available. On the 23d July, the Lightning and l'Aigle took out the navigation-officers of each fleet, to make them acquainted with the channel and soundings. A correspondent of the Times gives this picture of the place— o A few miles from 13omarsund, the Alban was surveying, and near to her the Valorous, fast aground upon a rock, Between The islands, we observed the asts of the Leopard, Odin, and Hecht, Which had been detached to cut off re mmunication. Along the shore were hamlets, farm-houses, painted red, and mills ; and; as The vessels glided by, the inmates peeped forth with cu- 4y and timidity. At five I,. m. we ran through a narrow channel, 100 vards mile; in width, and eame at once upon Admiral Chaee's squadron in tumpar Bay, before the forts of flomarmuid. The chief battery is erected on the shore, in the shape of a curve, in order to sweep the whole bay. It is built of granite, in two tiers, with 54 embrasures in each, thus being enabled to mount 108 guns; but at present they have only h2 mounted. It as a bomb-proof roofing, and, to add to their security, a layer of four feet of sand rests upon this. On the rising ground immediately behind this are two round towers, and another at the extreme East, in each of which we counted 16 guns. A mud-battery, rapidly thrown up, still further to the East, completes their defence. Russian soldiers were lounging about on the shore, and officers were going to and fro on horseback without the slightest appearance of concern at the proximity of our English and French men-of- r, eight of which were moored within two miles and a half of them. Many were the speculations regarding the vulnerability of these fortifications ; but it was at once determined that the operation of shelling them would be futile, the opinion being that a land attack by the troops now on their pas- sage, with the broadsides of the men-of-war at 1000 yards, would soon com- plete their destruction."

The cholera had nearly disappeared on the 25th. It is remarked that it had only attacked the screw-ships, and that the sailing-vessels were exempt. The troops from Calais were anxiously expected.

eesna—Espartero entered Madrid on the 29th July, by the gate of Alcala—to be called in future the gate of the Duke of Vittoria. He was met by a great multitude, some on foot and some on horseback, and i

many n the uniform of the National Guard. The foraging-caps of the infantry were bound by a green riband bearing the words "Constitution or Death." Also there came San Miguel, the Minister of War, and the Municipal Council of Madrid, splendidly caparisoned. Before he entered, Espartero made a little dramatic speech to the mob, saying that if any cue should attempt to wrest their liberties from them, "the sword of Luchana" (drawing that weapon) would know how to lead them on the

way to glory. As he proceeded, standing erect in his he was nearly suffocated with the flowers thrown upon him. Espartro went straight to the Palace and had instant audience of the Queen. He re- mained with her about half an hour, the people calling "Al baleen!" At length he came forth from the Palace; and Queen Isabella appearing at the balcony, shouts of "Viva la Reins'" rent the air; Espartero join- ing in the cry, and waving his plumed hat: The King appeared shortly after.

General O'Donnell returned to Madrid on the same evening, accompa- nied by Ros de Olano. They proceeded to the residence of Espartero, wherezeived them at the door : shortly afterward, coming before the multitude, they embraced ; Espartero saying, "Patriots, we have fought together as Liberals, let us embrace as Liberals !" The same night, also, Espartero took the oath before the Queen as President of the Council. The new Ministry is composed as follows—

The Duke de la Vittoria President of the Council.

General O'Donnell Minister of War.

Don Jose Alone° Justice.

Don Francisco Lujan Public Works. Don FratioiscoSanta Cruz Interior.

Don Joei Manuel Moller° Finances.

General Allende y Salazar Marine. Don Ioaquim Pacheco Foreign Affairs.

Before the arrival of Espartero, the Queen had issued a manifesto. She regretted that deplorable mistakes had introduced absurd distrust be- tween the people and the throne; declared that a new cora, founded on the union of the people and the monarch, would dissipate the recent sad events, which she deplored ; that she would make any sacrifice, give any guarantee, that would secure the liberties of the people and the rightstpf the throne ; and that she had given her complete adhesion to the ideas of the Duke of Vittoria. The Generals disgraced by the late Ministry have been restored to their rank, and O'Donnell and San Miguel have been made Marshals.

Among the incidents illustrating the conduct of the people after victory, are these two. They, seized Chico, the infamous Minister of the Secret Police, and, carrying him on a mattress into the streets, shot him before a banieade. While the ekeoution proceeded, a young man was detected picking pockets: he Was instantly seized, marched to the barricade, and ordered to read aloud the inscription "Robbery is punished with death" ; this he did, and was then and there shot.

ITALT.—The Parmesan insurrection; on the 21st and 225 July, appears to have been Productive of nothing but bloodshed. The authorities ex- pected that a revolution would break out, and it did. Two medical stu- dents deliberately shot at an officer; the troops were called out; and an attack was made on a cafe. As the keeper of the house would not open his doors, they were buret in by cannon : the Austrians plundered the cellars, and, coming drunk into the streets, fired indiscriminately among the people, killing many. This was followed by the arrival of Count Nubile with more' Austrian troops.

The cholera has broken out at Genoa, and has created a panic. The people, believing the medical men were poisoning them, Threatened to kill all the doctors and chemists. The respectable people were flying from the town ; banks, shops, schools, end theatres, were all shutting up. The intelligence eomes down to the 29th July. At that date the deaths had risen from 23 to 67. Cholera has also appeared at Leghorn and Flo-
