(Front the European Times.) The remarkable correspondence published in the Monileur at the close of last week shows Russia in the submissive attitude of suing for peace. The language used by the Russian ntinis- ter amounts in substance to this,—thst the troops of the Czar will retire from the Danubian provinces if Austria will use its influence with the Western Powers to prevent them from attacking the Rue- sian domiuione. This is a sad lowering in the tone of the Czar before the conclusion of the Iirst campaign. But the French Foreign Secretary unmasks in the most masterly manner the flimsy reasoning in which the Russian Chancellor in- dulges to cover his mseter’s retreat.and the whole tone and grasp of the document are worthy of the high talent which M. Drcuyn de L'Hiiys has always exhibited in his State papers. The most gratifying feature in this correspondence is the new and improved position in which it exhibits Austria, for Lord John Russell stated iii the House of Commons, a few minutes before the proroga- tion. that that power would not rest satisfied with the status quo.—that it would require other gua- rantees. and: in substance, that it agreed with the Western Powers; but he added, as if there was still a loop on which to hangadoubt. " It remain- ed to be seen whether the government of his Im- perial Majesty would think proper to comrnitni- cate the interchange of notes which had taken place to the government of Russia, and whether the armaments which had been made by the Emperor of Austria of late would be prit into adieu, in order to obtain by force, if they could not obtain by negotiation, those securities to Europe which the English end French Govern- ments have deemed absolutely necessary. and which. be trusted, the German Powers would like- wise concur in seeking and insisting upon from Russia.” It is clear. however, that the demands of the Western Powers are acceptable to Austria. whether she will assist in procuring them or not, —a point which must go far to limit the duration of the contest. and which cannot fail to have a material efl'cct in depressing the spirit, if not the power of Rtissia. All the accounts represent the Russians as has- tening from the Principalities by forced marches. for the evident purpose of concentrating their strength on the point must lilti-l_v to be attacked : but what that point is «luvs not at present appear. The object of tlte allied commanders will ho to keep their views as secret as possible. and it is not yet certain that Sebsstopol will be attacked. Indeed, the probability is that the point of attack will not be known until it is made. Some are inclined to think that the isthmus of Pcrecop. eneclt of land only three or four miles wide, which unites the Crimea with the rest ofthe Rus- gfan empire, will be occupied, in order to cut oil‘ Russian communication with Scbaslnpol. which is at least a fr-ssiblc surrnisc; and the speech of Lord John Russell, which caused such a sensation at the time. is relcrred to, sliewing that ‘lie crippling of the great Russian fortress rather than its destruction was in his mind at thotime when he volunteered the exploitation which was so fiercely assailed. Others tltink that .\nap:t will be attacked. and (tllIt.'I’8 ag.-rin, fixing upon Mar- shal St. Arnaud‘s address to the troops. in which he speaks of “ martlririg into the land oi the enemr,” infer that the llolirudschs will be the route—a very improbable conjecture. Certain. however. it is, that as yet there is no account of troops having embarked from Varna or the coast, aml speculation has a large field on which In uork to fix on the exact part. A few days more will prob:rlily t\l'lll(S the question, and put an end to the anxiety which exists. The accounts from Vienna declare that Prince Gortscliakofl‘ had received despatclics from St. Petershurg. which induced him to Inform Count Buol that so long asthe Turks were in Wallachizi, the Russians vlould retain certain stratagotic points in the Priucipalities. A large T _ force occupies Bucharest, and some straggling Russian oflicere and soldiers have been seized by them, but they seem disposed to let the enemy clear away without molestation. The Austrian neutral forces are not occupying Wallachia. It , 7'. .~. W. 'v ' I is said that 60,000 maintain a position at Galata. rinoe Pasklewitsch is again in favour.

An article has appeared in the Ilium’- tour tothe efleei that deepatches had been re- ceived from Sir Charles Napier stating that, on the 7th and 8th. the French troops had landed to the south of Bomersund, and the French and English marines northward, without a single man getting his shoe wet. Sir Charles divides his praises between the French and English captains ofthe steamers who eflitcted the landing. All the siege materiel had arrived, and was about to be placed in position. The Russians had destroyed their outworlrs. The fortress, according to sub- sequent advices, was invested on the t‘2th, when the Russians made a sortie with a strong body of sltsrpshooters. but were repulsed The Ieelin of the inhabitants towards the invaders was sai to be most friettdly. and the pulpits in the isles of Aland are said to have announced tlist the sway of Russia was at an and. c of the three fortresses, after some hard fighting, was taken on the ldtli by I0,000 French soldiers and 9000 English marines. The principal fortress was to be attacked next day by esealade. Boiuitsrmn. August 15.—The strongest fort has been taken by the French and English, after several hours‘ severe fighting. Scaling ladders were furnished last night. and are to be used to-day against the principal fortress. Botmoosr, August l5.—An English courier, coming from Stockholm. has this night brought word to Calais that 2000 French troops had landed near the works of Bouiarsund, and had carried a redoubt of8 guns by assault, without losing a single man. The enem ‘a tire was essentially defective, and our sol iers did not give him time to rectify it. Entrance of Austrian Troops into Wsllacliie.

Eetters from Constantinople of the 5th announce that outoone and launches continued to be sent to 'arna. There was no- thing netv from Asia, but a cat battle was expected under the walls of are, where the two armies. each 30,000 strong, were encoinped within a league of each other. Accounts from Constantino le to the 7th speak of the expedition to the ussiun coast as still in prospect. Marshal do St. Arnaud re- turned on the 2nd instant to Vitrnn. Negotia- tions wcrc carried on between the Circnasian envoy and the Porto for njoiut plan of action against the common enemy. The Circassians. it is said, in order to obviate future dilliculty, desire that the Porto shall formally disclaim all pretensions to resume the sovereignty over the mountain tribes of the Caucasus. which it sur- rendered in 1830. It is not expected that any difliculty will arise on this score: indeed it is said that is compact was completed on the 4th inst. lictwcen Sclinuiyl and tho Porto, amount- ing to an ofleusive and defensive alliance.
