FRANCE.—The Emperor, accompanied by the Empress, visited the camp at Satory on Tuesday, and put the troops through several manceuvres. Afterwards, the Emperor, having on his right Prince Napoleon, and on his left General Prince Jablonowski of the Austrian service, and surrounded by the general officers deputed from the Sovereigns of England, Sardinia, and Holland, 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 raised, I desire to testify to you my entire satisfaction. The three divisions which have in succession occupied it, have manifested that discipline and good fellowship, and that love for the pro- fession of arms, which maintain 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, trained to dis- cipline, 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 based on a contempt for riches. That it is which has always made armies the sanctuary of honour ; and consequently, as long as peace con- tinues, there exists a community of sentiments, 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 countries feel and act as we do ; and as long as political events do not convert them into enemies, we are happy to greet them as com- rades and as brothers. Receive, my friends, with my acknowledgments for your good conduct, my thanks for the marks of attachment which you have evinced for 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 Buchman as you."

The Moniteur publishes the returns of the merchandise imported into France in the month of August, and of the customs-duties levied thereon, which amounted to 12,368,937 francs ; showing an increase of 451,545 francs, as compared with those of the corresponding month of 1852. The

salt-tax produced, during the last eight months, 20,007,000 francs, or 1,633,000 francs more than during the same period in 1852. The Councils-General continue to express opinions in favour of free isade. The Council-General of the Rhone has requested the Government "to examine if it be not possible to repeal the duties imposed on foreign coal on its importation by sea and land."

The Union makes a mild protest against the late reduction, for an in- definite time, of the import-duties on cattle and meat—

"Normandy, Maine, Anjou, and Brittany—indeed the departments of the centre of France—consider the maintenance of the duties of 1822 as a vital question for them. When the sub-committee of inquiry on the production of butchers' meat examined witnesses on the subject, upwards of 250 persons declared in the most positive manner, that 'the progress of agriculture, as well as the breeding and fattening of cattle, dated from the period at which the tariffs had been fixed, and that their suppression or reduction would be the rain of the producing countries.'" The Journal des Deka compares the Government measures to meet the scarcity of bread in 1846-'47 with the measures now taken to meet a si- milar crisis. In 1846-'47, the city expended 9,024,699 francs 91 cents, in relieving, for nearly twelve months, about 400,000 necessitous persons ; but no the municipal authorities have undertaken to assist 1,422,000 people, and to expend 42,660 francs a day, to make a reduction of 6 cents in the price of the four-pound loaf.

One hundred and twenty-three vessels with 429,999 hectolitres of foreign corn arrived at Marseilles from August 1st to September 15th. Six hundred vessels from the Black Sea with 2,400,000 hectolitres of wheat, are further expected at the port.

In the Eastern departments—particularly the Meurthe and Meuse— the potato disease has appeared : it is feared that half the crop will be lost.

The Constilutionnel has received a first warning for having, for the pur- pose of private speculation, systematically lauded certain industrial under- takings, while it sought to lower other undertakings in the opinion of the public.

Russrs.—The following despatch from Count Nesselrode to Baron Meyendorff, dated St. Petersburg, appeared in the Berlin Zeit of the 18th September. We have just received, together with your Excellency's reports of the 16th (28th) of August, the alterations which the Ottoman Porte has made in the draught of a note drawn up at Vienna.

"Count Buol will only require to recall to mind the expressions of our communication of the 26th of July, to form a clear idea of the impression these alterations have made on his Majesty the Emperor. "When I, in his Majesty's name, accepted that draught of a note which Austria, after having previously procured it to be approved and accepted by the Courts of France and England, described to us as an ultimatum that she intended to lay before the Porte, and on the acceptance of which the con- tinuance of her friendly offices was to depend, I added, in a despatch which you, Baron, were instructed to communicate to the Austrian Cabinet, the following remarks and reservations. 'I consider it to be superfluous to re- mark to your Excellency, that, whilst we, in a spirit of conciliation, accept the proposal of accommodation agreed to at Vienna, and of sending a Turk- ish Ambassador, we assume that we shall not have still further changes and fresh propositions to examine and to discuss, which may happen to be con- trived at Constantinople under the warlike inspiration which seems at pre- sent to influence the Sultan and the majority of his Ministers ; and that, should the Ottoman Government also reject this last arrangement, we should nolonger hold ourselves by the consent which we now give to it.' "Expressions so precise as these could leave the Austrian Government no doubt as to our present decisions. "I will not at the present moment enter into the alterations of the word- ing which have been made at Constantinople. I have made them the sub- ject of special remark in another despatch. I will, for the moment, confine myself to asking whether the Emperor, after having for himself renounced the power to change even a word in that draught of a note, which was drawn up without his participation, can allow the Ottoman Porte alone to reserve to itself that power, and whether he can suffer Russia to be thus placed in an inferior position vis-ii-via Turkey. We hold this to be inconsistent with the dignity of the Emperor. Let us recall the whole series of events, as they took place. In the place of the Menschikoff note, the acceptance of which without alteration we had stipulated as the condition of our resuming our relations with the Porte, a different note was proposed to us. On this ground alone we might' have refused to take it into consideration. And even after entering upon it we might have found occasion to raise more than one objection, to propose more than one alteration in the expressions. You know, Baron, that from the moment we consented to give up our ultimatum no note of any form whatever was what we desired—that we should have prefer- red another plan, another form of agreement. We did not insist on this plan ; we have laid it entirely on one side. Why ? Because, as soon as we should have made counter-propositions, we should have exposed ourselves to the reproach of protracting matters, of intentionally prolonging the crisis which is disquieting Europe. Instead of this, as we wished to put an end to the crisis as soon as possible, we sacrificed our objections both as regards the contents and the form. On the receipt of the first draught of a note, without waiting to learn if it had been approved in London or in Paris, we notified our accession to it by telegraph. Subsequently the draught was forwarded to us in its final form, and although it had been altered in a di- rection which we could not misunderstand, we did not retract our consent, nor raise the smallest difficulty. Could greater readiness or a more concilia- tory spirit be shown ? When we thus acted, we did so, as a matter of course, on the condition that a draught which the Emperor accepted without dis- cussion should be accepted by the Porte in a similar manner. We did so under the conviction that Austria looked on it as an ultimatum, in which nothing was to be changed—as the last effort of her friendly mediation, which, should it fail in consequence of the pertinacity of the Porte, would thereby of itself come to an end. We regret that it was not so. But the Vienna Cabinet will admit, that if we had not to do with an ultimatum, but with a new draught of a note, in which either of the parties concerned was at liberty to make changes, we should thereby recover the right, of which we had of our own accord deprived ourselves, of proposing variations on our part, of taking the proposal of arrangement into consideration, and not only changing the expressions but also the form.

" Coulff such a result be intended by Austria ? Could it be agreeable to the Powers, who, by altering and accepting her draught, have made it their common work? It IB their affair to consider the delays which will result from thief, or to inquire if it is for the interest of Europe to cut them short. We see only one single means of putting an end to them. It is for Austria and the Powers to declare to the Porte, frankly and firmly, that they, after having in vain opened up to it the only road that could lead to an immediate restoration of its relations with us, henceforth leave the task to itself alone. We believe, that as soon as the Powers unanimously hold this language to

the Porte, the Turks will yield to the advice of Europe, and, instead of reckoning on her assistance in a struggle with Russia, will accept the note in its present form, and cease to compromise their position so seriously for the childish satisfaction of having altered a few expressions in a document which we had accepted without discussion. For of these two positions only one is possible,—either the alterations which the Porte requires are im- portant, in which case it is very simple that we refuse to accede to them; or they are unimportant, and then the question arises, why should the Porte unnecessarily make its acceptance dependent on them ? " To sum up succinctly what we have said, the ultimatum drawn up at Vienna is not ours. It is the work of Austria and the Powers, who, after having first of all agreed to it, then discussed it, and altered its original text, have recognized it as such as the Porte could accept without its interests or its honour being compromised.- We, on our part, have done everything that depended upon us to shorten unnecessary delays, inasmuch as when the ar- rangement was laid before us we renounced all counter-propositions. No one will 'refuse to bear this testimony to the loyaute of the Emperor. After our having long exhausted the measure of concessions, without the Porte's having as yet made a single one, his Majesty can go no further without compromising his own standing, and without exposing himself to a resumption of his rela- tions with Turkey under unfavourable auspices, which would deprive them for the future of all stability, and must inevitably produce a fresh and signal breach. Even now, further concessions with regard to the expressions of the note would be of no use, for we see by your despatch that the Ottoman Go- vernment is only waiting for our consent to the alterations made in the Vienna note, to make its signature, as well as its sending off an Ambassador to convey the latter hither, dependent on fresh conditions, and that it has already made inadmissible proposals with respect to the evacuation of the Principalities. As regards the latter point, we can only refer to the as- surances and declarations contained in our despatch of the 10th of August ; and repeat, that the arrival of the Turkish Ambassador, bearing the Austrian note without alterations, will suffice at St. Petersburg for the orders to he issued to our troops to retire over the frontier."

In the analysis of this note given in the Journal des Debats there is a phrase not in the German copy of which the above is a translation. The Deliats makes Count Nesselrode state, that if modifications had been desired by the Porte, they ought to have been proposed and discussed at St. Petersburg.

In another despatch, Count Nesselrode examines the modifications in- troduced by the Ottoman Porte. First, he observes, the Sultan alters the phrase "active solicitude for the Orthodox Greek Church in the Otto- man empire," by leaving out the words "in the Ottoman empire" ; words afterwards used in speaking of the Sultan's own part in maintain- ing the privileges of the Greek Church. But Russia wishes a recognition of her solicitude for her "co-religionists in Turkey" ; nobody denies her solicitude for her own faith. Also, it is represented, the facts are diame- trically contrary to what is affirmed of the Sultan's care over the pri- vileges of the Greek Church : otherwise, what becomes of Russia's com- plaints against him ? Secondly, the Sultan's modifications interpret the treaty of Kainardji relative to the protection of the Christian worship as simply binding him to maintain the immunities and privileges of the Greek Church : this reading, Russia, in the spirit of conciliation, allowed before ; but these "motives of condescension" are no longer applicable. Thirdly, the Porte, by its modifications, promises only to accord to the Greek Church the privileges given to other religious communities, "sub- jects of the Porte." But when, as in the ease of the Latin religious com- munities, these "other communities" are not subjects of the Porte, Tur- key could refuse to give to the Greek Church the privileges accorded, for instance, to the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem,—a probable case, showing the "ill-disposed intentions of the Ministers of the Porte."

AUSTRIA.—On the receipt of the Russian notes at Vienna, the Govern- ment withdrew from further joint action with the Western Powers, and despatched special instructions to Baron de Bruck to press on the Sultan the acceptance of the Vienna note without modifications. The other Powers, it was understood in Vienna, were to make separate representa- tions, more.or less to the same effect.

Later news from Vienna, (by telegraphic message, 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 dech.re that the Vienna note does not contain the dangers which the Porte sees in it. No other collective step will be taken." The new American Minister, Mr. Jackson, has arrived at Vienna. He is to deliver his credentials to the Emperor at Olmiitz. It is said that he will "settle the Kossta affair."

TURKEY.—The latest date of letters from Constantinople is the 8th in- stant; but through submarine message, vitt Trieste, we have brief de- spatches to the 12th.

A manifesto by the Sultan was printed in the official journal of Con- stantinople of the 4th ; but after several copies had been struck off, the publication was stopped. It set forth the progress of the negotiations, their present position, and the Sultan's resolve. "The Government of his Majesty cannot accept other than the note modified by the Sublime Porte, and under the official guarantee of the Four Powers." Tie con- clusion is—"Awaiting the results which may take place, the Sublime Porte will maintain the footing with respect to its armaments which it occupies at this moment : and such is the decision of all." The warlike preparations are continued. Troops are rapidly foi warded to Varna ; and the enthusiasm of the soldiers—most of them savage levies from Asia—is fanatical in the extreme. The popular feeling at Con- stantinople is still for war. Inflammatory placards are posted through the city, denouncing the peace policy of the Ministers, and urging the Sultan to a "holy war." A report prevailed that the Ulemas had called on the Sultan and offered him the alternative of "war" or "abdica- tion" : giving him two days for his decision—namely, until the feast of Kurban-Bairam, on the 14th. The Russians continuously strengthen themselves in the Principalities. The news of the march upon Bucharest of the third corps of the Russian army under General Oslen-Sacken is confirmed. Some Boyards have been arrested for holding correspondence with Omer Pacha. The Servian Government has pledged itself to remain neutral in the event of war.

The Constantinople correspondent of the Times, in his letter dated the 8th instant, gives the following piece of intelligence. " 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 courts of law. Hitherto no Christian's word has been admissible as evident* against a Idussulman ; and hence an inununity from punishment and a licence to crime to any Mussulman who took care to have none but Christian witnesses to his offence. Practically the ray abs were deprived of anything in the shape of law or justice, and lived in perpetual distrust of their Mussul- man fellow subjects. The working of the new firman will doubtless be difficult ; but, supported by the European Consuls, it will confer an in- estiumWe boon on Turkey, and will do much to remove those causes of com- plaint which have led to the present crisis : which latter, having produced the Leman, furnishes an instance of good resulting from evil which could scarce have been hoped for." The Ottoman Bank, on the strength of a credit from "the first bankers in London and Paris," promised by AL Trouve Chauvel, engaged to lend the Sultan 400,000/. After the contract was signed, they drew on Messrs. Masterman and Co. for an instalment of 20,0001.; but that firm, to their surprise, dishonoured the bills. The Turkish Government insist upon the fulfilment of the contract.

SPAIN.—A despatch from Madrid, of the 19th instant, announces a change of Ministers. The new Cabinet comprises the following names : Count de San Louis, President of the Council and Prime Minister ; Senor F,steran Collantes, interior; General Blazer, War ; Marquis de Girons, Justice ; Marquis de /dolius, Marine ; Senor Domenech, Public Works. The Department of Finance is thought to have been reserved for Senor Llorente, now at Paris.

Hotta:us—The States-General were opened on the 19th, by the King in person. The King's speech is full of congratulations on the national progress in commerce, navigation, and shipbuilding. The finances of the country are declared to be in a satisfactory state, but "the harvest can only be reckoned upon as an average one."

UNITED STATES.—The Arabia arrived at Liverpool on Saturday, with advices from New York to the 7th instant.

Mr. R. J. Walker's resignation of the post of Minister to China has been accepted by the Government.

At New Orleans, on the 4th, the deaths from yellow fever were 96 ; and the deaths for the week ending the 4th were 814—being a decrease of 1 isswards of 600 from the returns of the previous week.

A singular charge against an American Bishop is under investigation by a council of Prelates sitting at Philadelphia. Bishop Doane, of New Jersey, has been charged with underhand usury, with several fraudulent bill transactions, with perjury in sivearing to an affidavit, and with "using spirituous and intoxicating liquors to a degree unbecoming a bishop—being intoxicated on board the steamer Trenton in November 1851," The committee of the diocese of New Jersey investigated these charges last year, and reported that they cc-odd nut be substantiated; but three Bishops have now represented the accusations, and at the latest date from Philadelphia the charges were under examination.

A local correspondent of the New York Tribune tells a story showing the working of the Fugitive Slave Law.

At Wilkesbarre, in Pennsylvania, at one of the hotels, there lived as waiter a tall mulatto, nearly white, who went by the name of Bill. In the beginning of the present month there arrived in the town Deputy-Marshal Wynkoop, another fellow named Joe Jenkins, and three other assistants from Virginia, to arrest poor Bill as a "fugitive from labour." These persons came behind him, and knocked him down with a mace; but Bill, who, as it appears, is a very strong and active man, recovered his feet, and threw his assailants off. Finally, he n anaged to break from the house, with the handcuffs fastened only on his right wrist, and made his way to the river. Into this he plunged, exclaiming, "1 mill rather be drowned than taken alive !" His pursuers fired et him before he reached the water; and when he was swimming they deliberately levelled their revolvers, and fired four or five shots. One ball was suppreed to have struck his head, as his face became instantly covered with blood. He sprang up in the water, and shrieked in his agony. The bystanders were becoming so excited at the horrible sight that the Southerners retreated from the bank, and took counsel together as to what was best to be done. Meanwhile, the poor slave came to the shore, and was supposed to be dying ; upon which his puisuers remarked, that "Dead niggers were not worth taking South," and were walking away, when the fugitive unexpectedly revived. As he in his turn was walking away, supported by another Coloured man, the Virginia people, perceiving that he was alive, headed him, called upon him to stop, and threatened to shoot anybody who should protect the fugitive. The threat took effect, for the crowd actually did retire ; and there was nothing for it but for poor Bill to take to the water again, which he did. In the water he remained for upwards of an hour, and there his pursuers dared not follow him. At. length they appeared themselves to have been intimidated by the menacing attitude of the creed, who were preparing to arrest them, for they retired of their own accoid. Bill waded some distance up the river, and then got out. He was found by some Coloured washerwomen fiat on his face in a corn-field, senseless from the effect of his wound. He has since done well ; and the last accounts represent him as having in all likelihood reached Canada, by the " underground railroad,"—a secret organization to expedite -the escape of fugitive slaves.

INDIA AND CHINA.—The overland mail which left Bombay on the 30th of July and Calcutta on the 5th of August was anticipated by despatches received in London on the 19th instant. The dates from Hongkong direct are to the 23d July.

The Bombay monsoon was at its height, and everything was dull. Lord Falkland and the Commander-in-chief were at Poonah. The Bur- mese hostilities had ceased, but our troops were kept prepared for any new movement. Staff-officers were not allowed to leave their regiments, and European women were restricted to Rangoon for safety. It is said that the want of provisions in Burmah Proper alone precludes the Court of Ave from fresh hostilities. In our own new province of Pegu, rice was excessively dear, sad the misery and destitution of the people were very greet. A Calcutta paper says—" The Rangoon Chronicle which we last received was full of nothing else but murders, dacoitiee, starvation, and cholera."

The reports from China are vague and uncertain, but it would seem that the rebellion still makes way. The Governor of Shanghai attempted with a hired fleet to retake the mouths of the Great Canal possessed by the rebels, but failed. A large Imperialist force was to attack the rebels at .Amoy on the 19th of June. In that place the rebels call themselves " the army of the restored dynasty of Ming," and look to " Tien-teh " as their legitimate sovereign. In nearly every province South of the Yellow River insurrections under various banners have started up ; Nang-chiang, the principal city in the Kiangsi province, I as bean taken, and reports are still spread of a rebel advance on Pekin. At Shanghai the English import trade is much disturbed, in consequence of the unsettled state of the country. The traders applied to Sir George Bonham to demand of the Chinese Government that the levy of import-duties on goods should be deferred, as the value of the goods was much lowered and their safety endangered through the "acknowledged weakness" of the Chinese Go- vernment. Sir George declined to interfere.

At Foochow a riot had been suppressed by the Tartar troops, and seve- ral of the ringleaders were beheaded on the spot. At Yeu-ping-foo fight- ing was going on. Two ships, chartered by an American firm, were waiting below Foochow for teas; but the disturbances in the interior had checked the supply. In their progress South, the rebels would pass through the principal tea districts.

The North China Herald prints a paragraph, purporting to be news of the American expedition to Japan, now cruising in the neighbourhood of the Loo-Choo Islands- " Information has privately reached us, that, while the United States fleet were in the neighbourhood of inimical], the Susquehanna and Saratoga went on a cruise Eastward, and touched at several beautiful islands, where they distributed live stock. They also touched at an island named Borden. To their surprise, they discovered a few European residents, consisting of Eng- lish, Scotch, Irishoind Spanish, who had left whalers and established them- selves there. Among them were about eleven women. The Goternor of this island is a Sootehman. He claims the island as his own, and has been settled there about twenty years. The Commodore has made a purchase of a piece of land, containing about ten acres, for fifty dollars : it is in a good situation, on one of the best sites of the harbour, and is intended for a Go- vernment coal-dep6t."

The authenticity of this story is doubtful. Strict secrecy has been en- joined on all the officers and crews of Commodore Perry's fleet, and in- formation from other sources is not to be depended on.

WEST Isanes.—The Orinoco arrived at Southampton on Saturday, with the usual West India mails. She had no deaths from yellow fever during the voyage. In Jamaica the fever is nearly extinct; in British Guiana it is confined to the hospitals and the shipping ; and Grenada is quite healthy. The only political news is, that the insurrection at Tor- tola has been entirely suppressed and tranquillity restored.

ADSTRALIA.—The overland mail has brought later advices from Austra- lia,—from Sydney, June 19th; Melbourne, June 19th; Adelaide, July 6th. At Sydney the importation of goods was far in excess of the demand. The productiveness of the gold-fields had considerably increased. Gold was at 75s. per ounce.
