Fr/CUM—The Emperor and Empress departed from Biarritz on Tues- day for St. Cloud. The day before he set out, the Emperor reviewed two Crimean regiments stationed at Bayonne. On Tuesday evening the Imperial couple reached Bordeaux ; and, sleeping there that night, at- tended mass the next morning; received the authorities at the HOtel de Villa; reviewed the troops, and performed other imperial functions. On Thursday morning the Emperor and Empress left Bordeaux, and arrived at St. Cloud the same night. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post states that finance will occupy the Emperor's attention on his return to head-quarters. " It is quite possible," says this diplomatic gentleman, " that the Government will take immediate steps to prevent the introduction of any foreign spe- culations on the Parisian Bourse, at least for the present." The Moniteur publishes an article intended to refute the " calumnies " uttered in foreign journals respecting the treatment of the prisoners at Cayenne. Prisoners from the galleys, now suppressed, were first sent to Cayenne. Members of secret societies, chiefly old criminals, were next forwarded to the colony. Many of these were sentenced by the Republic, sent first to Algeria, and next to Cayenne for bad conduct. The political prisoners' including the old criminals, transported to Cayenne, amount to 320. This number has been reduced to 180 by escapes, liberations, and the death of 62 by yello* fever. The Moniteur insists that they have been treated with " the greatest care and leniency—as far as pos- sible." They were kept distinct from the convicts, and fed for a long time without being compelled to work. They have been since employed in building and gardening. Many were allowed to be at large in Cayenne " without giving surety."

Marshal Bandon, Governor-General of Algeria, has taken command of an expedition intended to subdue the Kabyles, and thus connect Algiers with Constantine.

St a 14.—In the absence of any certain information respecting the ac- tion of the Western Powers at Naples, all sorts of rumours are afloat. The French squadron has not yet put out of the Bay of Toulon - that is the only ascertained fact. Rumour assigns to Russia an intention of having a squadron at Nice, ostensibly as a marine escort to the Empress Dowager; of course ready to sail for Naples. The destiny of an Aus- trian squadron recently at Malta is said to be Naples; but the Frankfort journals deny the truth of the story. The report that Sardinia will send a small squadron is again revived.

The French journals speak of a "very strong note which Count Buol is said to have addressed to the Courts of Paris and London, to call their most serious attention to the grave responsibility they might incur by giving effect to their naval demonstration against the capital of the Two Sicilies."

The Austrian Gazette contains some curious statements touching the motives of France in joining in the expedition, and a prediction of the result.

"The British Government appeared determined to send to the coasts of Italy formidable naval forces, and the Cabinet of the Tuileries opposed for some time by various arguments that dangerous intention. France, as a great maritime power, and particularly of the Mediterranean, cannot allow anyieolated cruise of a British fleet in the seas which bathe her coasts. She ought, consequently., to have assumed an imperious tone with respect to England ; but in that case, the bond between the two powers, already somewhat loosened, would have been considered as completely severed. The moment did not appear to the French Government suitable for an act of such importance, and the affair which constituted the object of the difference was not of a nature to give cause for a rupture. If France and England are to be one day in open opposition, it ought to be on a question popular in France ; but the Neapolitan Government is not well looked on by the French nation. That circumstance had been well considered in England, and arrangements had been come to in consepience. The French Govern- ment resolved, therefore, to appear by the side of England in the Mediter- ranean with equal forces. The ostensible object is the same for both states, but the secret intentions of England are disconcerted. The British (lag in appearing alone on the coasts of Italy would have been the signal for revolt agaihst the several governments ; the French flag by its side is an exhortition to calm and order—is a declaration that the question at issue is only a conflict between governments, in which no one ought to interfere. It is in that sense that the reinforcements made to the French garrison aught to be considered. We think we can express an opin- ion on the issue of this affair which events will not contradict. The King of Naples will defend his right like an independent sovereign, and will de- clare in a manifesto that the attacks against his sovereignty will place the political rights of Europe in peril. He will prove on the appearance of the -Western fleets, that his subjects, who are represented as being kept down by force, will declare themselves enthusiastically for their monarch against foreign violence. Thus justified before Europe, and raised in the esteem of his country, he will yield, in the interest of European peace, to the violence exercised against him, and will submit to the conditions of the ultionatiun. It is also in this firm resolution of the Neapolitan Government to save, at least morally, the international right of Europe, that may be found the cause of the inutility of the efforts of Austria at the Court of Naples. That power has done everything to prevent a conflict, by. persuading Naples to yield in time. But she would not go further than friendly representations and motives of general utility ; she would not interfere with the political right of Europe, for which no other compensation has yet been found except a general rule to serve as the basis for negotiations inevitable in the exist- ence of states, and which may every day arise." The passage stating that the King will prove how enthusiastically his subjects love him is explained by a report contained in the Paris cor- respondence of the Morning Post— "It is asserted that Austria has agreed with Naples to 5et up political demonstrations in various parts of Rely, should the English and French fleets appear in the Bay. of Naples. These demonstrations will be organized by the police, and are to express Republican opinions. M. Hubner is said to have been the medium employed to agree with Naples on this policy. Austria will thus turn to the 'Western Powers, and exclaim, 'You see what your interference has done—you have encouraged Republicanism through- out Italy ! ' "

The Mignona trials have come to an end. The Attorney-General has demanded that punishment shall be inflicted on some of the prisoners ; while he admits that the evidence against others is insufficient. The sentences have not been pronounced. The King's Government is said to be actively taking "measures of precaution" against the expected visit of the Western Powers.

11155i8.—The coronation festivals at Moscow have nearly conic to an end, and the assiduous reporters are winging their way home from the stormy North. Three prominent incidents are recorded in the letters from Moscow,—the dinner given by the merchants to the army, the feast of the people on the Kadinka plains, and the supper of the mujiks in the Kremlin.

The dinner to the army was given in the Salle d'Exereise—an enor- mous place, built in 1817 to enable the troops to drill and manoeuvre in winter.

"It forms a parallelogram of 79 sagenes in length by 21 in breadth. The ceiling is supported by a novel framework, the invention of Lieutenant-

General Betancour. The cross-beam, 1681 feet in length, is formed of two rows of beams placed above, which join end to end, and are clamped with iron, and forms a curve with a segment of 141 inches at the centre. The length ofthe hall is 568 feet ; the height to the centre is 42 feet."

Here 2500 officers were sumptuously entertained; the Emperor being present. At this dinner a characteristic incident occurred.

Count Zakreffsky, head of the Police, turned "to the Syndics, the true hosts of the day," and said, "'Fall back, pray; it is for me to receive the Emperor in this hall.' The poor merchants fell back as they were com- manded, murmuring grievously that they should pay the money and be the givers of this generous feast, (their own spontaneous idea,) and that this functionary, dressed in a little brief authority, should do the honours of it over their heads. But the Czar is a wizard. He comes : Zakreffsky ad- vances, bowing low. 'Fall back, pray,' says his Majesty; it is for the merchants to receive me in this hall." I can assure you that the little in- cident thrills through the entire commercial body like RR electric shock, dispelling the paralysis of chronic terror, and, coupled with the liberal schedule of new privileges granted them by the Czar to facilitate their business and further their interests, makes them look up with wonder and with hope to the reign which is now in its dawn." Great preparations had been made for the people's feast on the Ka- dinka plains. The multitude was to be regaled in four grand divisions of 60,000 each. There were tables, but no seats ; and the tables if placed end to end would have extended fifteen miles. They were ar- ranged in a semicircle row within row, leaving broad streets at intervals through the mass. Ilk tables faced inwards, and in front of the con- cave was a line of covered seats, the Emperor's occupying the centre. On the tables trees were placed, with hams, chickens, capons, ducks, &c., dependent. on their branches. There were 6000 sheep, with gilded horns and red jackets, 400 oxen, 35,000 chickens and capons. Fountains poured forth wine at the rate of a half-pint per head, and pails of beer stood at the corners of the tables. But all the preparation for an orderly dinner failed. The rain poured down in torrents ; the roads were deep with mud; yet the peasants trudged, and the great folks drove to the Ka- dinka fields. Unfortunately, at an early hour the signal for dinner was run up by way of experiment, and the peasants, breaking in among the tables in spite of the guards, and eat up or bore off everything. As a matter of course many went without dinner ; and some fatal accidents ensued. Besides the feast there was the Emperor to look at. He rode on to the ground in the course of the day. The peasants hung round his horse, and at one time separated him from his staff, hugging his knees, and crying, "God save the Czar !" When he reached his pavilion, a series of gamea began in the circus, in spite of the rain.

The feast at the Kremlin was called a ball. Thousands of mujiks crowded into the splendid apartments, and were magnificently feasted.

" Vassili supped tachai.' with a spoon of silver gilt, out of Dresden cups worth five guineas apiece, and Katrine munched by the dozen peaches every one of which had cost a rouble. Champagne was the favourite beverage, .but even humble beer was not disdained; and the tables would soon have been as bare as the tables of the festin,' but for the assiduous care with which they were constantly replenished by the Imperial lacqueys. Here and there, like stars in a stormy sky, the diamonds of the fair noblesse or the rich uniforms of officers might be seen to glisten ; but they were few and far between It was a ball, and there was no dancing; although three military bands, placed in the principal saloons, played waltzes and polkas splendidly all night. Neither could it be called a promenade, for the twenty-five thou- sand guests had barely room to elbow and hustle each other; which they did with a vigour that would have done honour to the Surrey gallery. The Emperor entered the room at nine o'clock, in a manner that at once showed his Imperial Majesty's confidence in the loyal affection of his people. On grand occasions, when none but haute noblesse and distinguished strangers' are admitted, the Czar is preceded by fifty chamberlains to clear the way, their velvet coats heavy with gold embroidery., and the dignity of their mo- tions sorely impeded by the tightness of their shoes. But on this occasion his Majesty, with the Empress leaning on one arm and the Empress-mother on the other, plunged goodhumouredly into the crowd, and nodded and smiled goodnatureclly in recognition of the almost Oriental reverences of his subjects."

The Emperor and Empress retired at ten o'clock, but the Grand Duke Constantine staid till midnight.

The Cologne Gazette has published a circular despatch forwarded by the Russian Foreign Minister to all the Russian agents abroad, and adumbrating the policy which Russia professes to adopt in foreign af- fairs.

"Moscow Sept. 2, 1856. "The treaty signed at Paris on the 30th of March, which put an end to a struggle the proportions of which threatened continually to increase, and the final issue of which was beyond human prediction, has been invoked to i

reestablish the normal state of international relations n Europe. "The Powers which had coalesced against us assumed for their motto the respect of right and the independence of governments. It is not our inten- tion to return to an historical examination of the question as to how far the attitude of Russia endangered either of those principles. It is not our wish to raise a fruitless discussion, but to obtain the practical application of the same principles which the great Powers of Europe have proclaimed by placing themselves directly or indirectly as our adversaries ; and we invoke them the more readily as they never ceaseji to be our own.

"We do not do any of the great European Powers the injustice of sup- posing that their object was simply to have a watchword for the occasion, and that the struggle once over, each deems itself authorized to pursue a line of conduct suited to its private views and interests. We accuse no one of making use of those fine words as of a weapon ready to hand at the mo- ment, to extend the area of the struggle, and then consigned to rust in the dust of the armoury. On the contrary, we would rather remain convinced that all the Powers which asserted those principles did so in perfect honesty and good faith, and with the sincere intention of carrying them out under all circumstances.

"Starting from this point, we must suppose that it is the intention of all the Powers which participated in the last war, as it is the thought of the Emperor our august Master, that the general peace should be the fixed point of departure for the reestablishment of relations based upon the respect of right and the independence of governments. Has this hope been fulfilled ? Has the state of international relations been reestablished?

"Without entering into the minute details of some secondary questions, we regret that we are compelled to say that there are two countries which form part of the European family, in one of which the normal condition does not yet exist, and where in the other it is threatened with attack. We allude to Greece and to the kingdom of Naples. .

"There is no longer an excuse now for the occupation of the Hellenic territory, against the will of the Sovereign, and in opposition to the send- . mints of the nation. Political motives might, to a certain point, explain the violence done to the person of the Sovereign. Necessities of war, more or less proved, might be urged to give a colouring to the infraction of right. But now that none of these motives can any longer be alleged, it appears to us impossible to justify before an equitable tribunal the continued presence- of foreign troops on the soil of Greece.

"Thus, the first words pronounced by our august Master when the restora- tion of peace enabled the Emperor clearly to express his views on the sub- ject, have been,. with regard to this matter, clear and precise. We did not conceal our opinion in the councils of the Cabinets, and we still maintain it, "We feel it, however, a duty to add, that although the results have-not

yet i fully answered our expectations, we entertain the hope of not remaining- isolated n a position where right and justice are evidently in favour of the cause which we support. "As regards the kingdom of Naples, if it has notyet come to a. question of oure, it appears to us much to be feared that. it is high time to think of pre- vention. The King of Naples is the object of a pressure, not because his Majesty has transgressed any engagement imposed upon him by treaty to- wards foreign courts, but because, in the exercise of his incontestable rights of sovereignty, he governs his subjects according to his fancy. "We could understand that, as a consequence of friendly, forethought, a government should give advice to another in. a benevolent spirit; that such advice might even assume the character of exhortation ; but we believe that to be the furthest limit allowable. Less than ever can it now be tamed in Europe to forget that sovereigns are equal among themselves, .and that it is. not the extent of territory, but the sacred character of' the rights of each, which regulates the relations that exist between them. To endeavour to obtain from the King of Naples concessions as regards the internal govern- ment of his states by threats or by a menacing demonstration, is a violent usurpation of his authority, an attempt to govern in his stead ; it is an open declaration of the right of the strong-over the weak.

"We need not tell you the view our august Master would entertain- on such pretensions. His Majesty flatters himself with the hope that they will not be carried out. He entertains this hope the more confidently as it is the doctrine also of the states which place themselves at the head of civiliza- tion, and where the principles of political liberty have received their great- est development, who have never ceased to proclaim it as their creed, se far even as to endeavour to apply it where circumstances only allowed this by forcing the interpretation. "You will have a care, whenever the two questions we have above touched upon are mooted at the court where you reside to leave no doubt upon the view taken by our august Master. Such frankness is the natural consequence of the system the Emperor adopted on the day he ascended the throne of his ancestors. That system-is not unknown to you. . "It is the Emperor's wish to live on friendly taring with all_ govern-

ments. His Majesty thinks that the best means of doing so is not to dis- simulate his views upon any of the questions which are connected with European international law. The compact union (faiseean) of those who for many years maintained with us the principles to which Europe for more than a quarter of a century was indebted for peace, no longer exists in its former integrity.

"The will of our august Master was a stranger to this result. Circum- stances have restored us to our full freedom of action. The Emperor is re- solved to devote his care in preference to the welfare of his subjects, and_ to concentrate upon the development of the internal resources of the country an activity which will only take an external direction when the positive in- terests of Russia absolutely demand it. "Russia is reproached with isolating herself, and with remaining silent in presence of facts which are not in keeping either with right or justice. i

Russia, it is said, sulks.' Russia does not sulk; Russia collecting her- self. [The original stands thus—" On adresse a la Russie le reproehe- de s'isoler, et de garder le silence en presence de faits qui ne s'accordent ni aveo le droit ni avec requite. La Rusne boude, dit-on : la Rival° ne boude pas; la Russie-se recucille."]

"As regards the silence of which we are accused, we might call to mind that formerly an artificial agitation was got up against us because our voiee was always heard whenever we thought it necessary to support the right. That action, tutelary for many a government, and from which Russia her- self derived no advantage, was made use of to accuse us of aspiring to I know not what universal domination. We might shelter our silence under the impression of that recollection. But we do not think that such an at- titude is suited to a Power to which Providence has assigned the place which Russia occupies in Europe. "This despatch will prove to you that our august Master does not confine himself to this part when he feels it his duty: to express his opinion. It will always be the same when the voice of Russia may be of use to the causerof right, or when it may concern the dignity of the Emperor not to-allow-his- views to remain a secret.

"As regards the employment of our material power,. (nos forms mate- rielles,) the Emperor reserves this for his free consideration.

" The policy of our august Master is a national one it is not an egotistical one : and if his Majesty places the interests of his people in the first line, he does not admit that even the service of those interesta can ex,. cuse the violation of the rights of others.

"You are authorized, &c. Goagsenerwee." bruntark.—The Danish Ministers,. Herr von Scheele excepted, have._

tendered their resignation. The reported reason for this step is curious._ Von Scheele is the protege of the Countess Danner, "consort of the King by a morganatic marriage," as the Straits Calender informs us, "and Countess of the Kingdom in her own right." Von Scheele pro- posed that an appanage for life should be granted to the Countess front the- revenues of' the State. Colonel Andrae, Minister of Finance, strenuously objected to the proposal, The Cabinet supported him ; but as Von Scheele insisted, Andrae resigned. All the other Ministera fol- lowed his example. The King has accepted their, resignations. Prince Napoleon arrived at Copenhagen on the 24th; and on the same day he was invested with the grand cordon of the order of the Elephant,. and dined with the King in the Hall of the Knights. On the 26th, Prince Napoleon received the Diplconatie Body; and Admiral Glasenap„. the travelling Russian who has just completed plans of the defensive' works of Sweden.

ii■initiulanil.—The Federal Poweraare determined to hold their own

in Neufchatel, with the-full consent of that Canton. The Grand Coun- cil of Neufchatel, indeed, has voted' an address to the Federal. emmell, thanldng.them in the warmest manner for energetic support rendered- "to one of the members of the Confederation in danger." RI= also "voted, by a majority of 48 to 31, the dissolution of the bourgeoisie, the creation of a municipality,. the expulsion of the compromised:clergy, and-the dis- missal of officials who had secretly or openly aided the late insurrection.

Sword's of honour have been voted to Colonels-Denzler and. Girard." The Federal Council, in a message to the Federal Assembly,,.stidem that DMZ',

sia alone has made any formal representation on the subject of Neuf- chatel.

" If under any circumstances there were grounds for diplomatic negotia- tions, they could not, in our opinion, be opened except on the basis of the recognition of the complete independence of the Canton of Neufchatel as regards a foreign power. We shall energetically reject any overture that has not this for its basis."

Cutitt.—The journals are agreed in predicting the proximate fall of O'DonnelL The most remarkable fact in connexion with the prophecy is expressed in very few words-

41 General Narvaez has received his passports, and will leave for Madrid on the 2d October.'

A private letter from Madrid mentions that a person named Mora had been arrested and imprisoned by the civil authorities in that city, on the charge of "professing the Protestant religion." He is described as a British subject, though it is doubtful whether such is the fact; he is also said to be an agent of one of the evangelical societies. Be this as it may, it is certain that he was arrested and delivered over to the " ecclesiasti- cal tribune" and that he is now confined in the Camel de la Fe, which is to all intents and purposes the prison of the Inquisition. It is under- stood that an application has been made by friends in England in his be- half to the English Government.

Surktit.—The Polish Legion has been formally disbanded ; and General Zamoyski has taken a farewell of General Storks Lord Strat- ford, Admiral Lyons, the French Ambassador, and the Turkish Ministers. The Poles seem to have been highly delighted with the reception they met with on board the Admiral's ship. They attribute to him an ex- pression of regret that "a peace which we must not call unfortunate, and cannot call fortunate," had plucked the sword from their hands.

Prince Danilo of Montenegro has issued a circular to the European Powers, demanding many things, which are thus set forth—

"I. Diplomatic recognition of her independenee. 2. Extension of her fron- tiers towards the Herzegovina and Albania. 3. Definitive settlement of the boundary-line towards Turkey, such as it exists for the Austrian frontier. 4. Annexation of the port of Antivari to the Principality." He seems greatly grieved at the exclusion of Montenegro from the sea. "It was at the price of their blood that the Montenegrins conquered the entire coast of Cattaro which they possessed till 1814, until that day when the Emperor Alexander I invited the Metropolitan and the Montenegrin people to cede the coast of Cattaro to Austria, to whom the Congress of Vienna had just adjudged it. The Montenegrins submitted to the decision of the European Powers, withdrew to their mountains, and abandoned the coast to Austria. It was gross injustice this repelling us entirely from the sea and leaving us not one port." The remedy suggested is, not to take Cattaro from the Au.strians, but Antivari from the Turks.

It is reported that the Turkish authorities are largely reinforcing their troops at Antivari.

The Berlin correspondent of a Frankfort journal states that a second note has been addressed by Great Britain to Russia on the subject of the Isle of Serpents, and that its tone is more peremptory than that of the former note ; in consequence of which, the irritation felt by each party has been much augmented.

fairs.—The Cambria arrived at Liverpool on Thursday, with advices from New York to the 19th September.

The Whig National Convention had been held at Baltimore, and had nominated Mr. Fillmore as its candidate. The resolutions adopted express alarm at the parties in the field ; deprecate geographical dis- tinctions; state that the success of either party would add fuel to the flame that "threatens to wrap their dearest interests into one common ruin" ; and declare that the remedy is to be found in the choice of Mr. Fillmore, who holds both parties in just and equal regard. The basis of theloarty is "reverence for the Constitution and unalterable attachment to the Union."

The Reverend Henry Ward Beecher has published in his paper, the breto York Independent, the bull of Gregory XVI. against slavery ; and it has been republished as a pamphlet. He was led to do this because he heard that a Roman Catholic coachman alleged the Papal prohibition as a reason for preferring Fremont. The Catholics have always hitherto given a Democratic vote; it is supposed they will now vote Republican. It appears that last year the Democratic party offered to make Colonel Fremont its candidate, and that Fremont declined. One of 'the most authentic organs of the Slavery party, the Richmond Enquirer, has pub- lished a long list of Mr. Buchanan's Pro-Slavery votes, under the head of "A Record without a Blemish" ; and declares that "he never gave a vote against the interests of slavery, and never uttered sword that could pain the most sensitive Southern heart." The Southern journals talk glibly about an intention on the part of Virginia, South Carolina, and Georgia, to instantly withdraw from the Union should Fremont succeed. "A thoroughly organized disunion party," says the Charleston Mercury, "is the desideratum ; and until such be formed at the South, all time de- voted to political discussion is time wasted."

Advices from Kansas report an improved state of things. The new Governor, Colonel Geary, had on his arrival in Kansas directed the release on boil of the State prisoners held by the Pro-Slavery p whereat there are rejoicings in the head-quarters of the Free-Soilers.

his inaugural address, delivered at Leeompton, the Governor deprecated a continuance of the strife and disorder in the Territory, caused by the illegal and unjustifiable interference of other States; promised to do jus- ties to all without party considerations, and expected obedience to the lawa of the Territorial Legislature until they are repealed. A proclama- tion was issued on the same day, ordering that the Volunteer Militia be discharged, and commanding that all armed bodies of men disband or quit at once the Territory. -Previously to this, Lane's Free-Soilers had defeated Atchison's Border Ruffians in a pitched battle.

xiru.—Letters from Mexico vitt Havannah contain a rumour of differences between that country and Great Britain. The British Minis- ter is stated to have demanded his passports, and transmitted orders for a British squadron to proceed to Vera Cruz. Her Majesty's steamer Tartar was engaged collecting a squadron.

Suit ia aut e4ina.—The telegraphic summary of the overland mail reached London on Thursday night. There is little news. The latest dates are—Hongkong, August 9 ; Bombay, August 29.

"Preparations were being made at Bombay for a military demonstration

in the Persian Gulf. Cholera prevailed in the Punjaub and in Bombay. Import business was quiet ; the produce-market steady ; the money-market easiy. Freights have advanced. Exchange, 2 1/1.

Many parts of China are ins disastrous state. At Canton a great loss of property and of life had occurred from floods."
