With tho exception of the artillery and cavalry, ‘the expeditionary forces of the Allies to the East are complete. Omer Pacha’s headquarters remain at Sbumla, where he will doubtless soon be joined by English and French troops. Prince Napoleon, the Duke of Cambridge, Lord Raglan, Marshal St. Arnaud, General Prim, General Cannon, are all at Ogastantinople. The Sultan pays the utmost atten- tion to his royal guests. The London journals are full of detailed accounts of dinners, receptions, speeches, plans and projects of these military gen- demen. The accounts from the Danube are vague. The Russians are banging away at Silistria, but appa- rently with little result. The Baltic is now the chief point of attraction. The Servian government is considerably alarmed at the concentration of so large an Austrign force on its frontiers as that now assembled there. Servia is, you are aware, under the sdzerainty of the Porte, and the citadel of Bel- grade is commanded by Izzet Pasha, a Turkish Jeneral. Austria will not speak out, and Turkey as Well as Servia distrusts her. Moreover, the Servians Dhject to the occupation of their territory by an @uxiliary Austrian force, and a formal protest ba: peen drawn up by the Servian government against gach an eventuality. This document breathes the poimorQgistrust of Austria. Tl various times alluded to the equivocal positions Austria. It is true that she expresses® now the st sympathies for the Western Pow- ers, but she wears a mask. I have now before me <and I enclore-you a full copy) the text of the treaty concluded between Austria and Prussia. By the first article the two German Powers guar- antee to each other reciprocally the possession of | their German and non-German territories, so that any attack upon the territory of the ove will be re- garded as an attack upon the territory of the other. By the second article they hold themselves bound Yo wafeguard the interests of Germany, and to resent any attack upon German territory. @ third article binds them to keep efficient acitated ublic employment.

As regards Austria and Prussia, I have nothing | to add to my observations on bya? last. We | learn by telegraph that the Vienna Conference has held another sitting, and that another protocol has been signed by the representatives of the Four Pow- ers at Vienna, reccndiming a joint action. This is the second re- mation of the original protocol, and borders upon the absurd. | Lord Westmoreland is looked upon as a very unfit my to manage so delicate and important a nego- lation. His time is chiefly devoted to composing | masses and operas, and he is overmatched by Mey- et and Buol, both men of considerable intel- t.

Old Charley Napier never obeys orders. It is ex- pected, therefore, that when he once gets a rap at | the Russians he will not begvery ceremonious, espe- | cially when he hears what has been doing in the | Black Sea. There appears to .be some difficulty in | discovering the whereabouts of the Russian flect inthe Baltic. The Russian tars are exceedingly | shy, and they will only fight to advantage. This fear of the Russians to meet their enemies at sea must sink themin the estimation of mankind as world conquerors. They can only share dominion | with the great naval powers. Some time since the English papers announced that Portugal and Spain had been asked to join the Western, Powers, and to provide a contingent of troops. It has just now been announced that Rus- sian agents have been at Lisbon, and that Portugal has declared that she will observe an armed neu- troops prepared for every eventuality. Article four lays d. that they are to invite all | German States to join this treaty. Article five prohibits either of the contracting parties, during the existence of thi iance, from | concluding any separate treaty what with other | States which does not fully harmonize with the | principles of the present treaty. An additional article is annexed to regulate under what circumstances Austria and Prussia are to take an offensive part in the war. It says:—‘ An offen- sive action on the part of both would, however, be first occasioned by the incorporation of the Princi- alities, or through an attack or passage of the Balkan on the part of Russia !”” This is vory indefinite. Russia is doing all she | ¢an to get across the Balkans, and is in occupation of the Principalities. It is trac she denies a wish to incorporate them, simply holding them as a “ mate- rial guarantee.” There are secret articles attached to this treaty, | which I trust to be able to send you shortly. Russia is now busy intriguing with the maller German States. A German convention is announced to beheld next month at Bamberg, under the presi- dency of Bavaria. Its avowed object is to secure.a majority of votes at the Frankfort Diet in favor of | an adherence to the principle of absolute neutrality | in the Eastern war. The hing of Prussia secretly supports this party, and the King of Bavaria, as | brother of the King of Greece, asserts his influence | as much as he can. Saxon, also. Russian in- clined.

Lord Jopn Russell replied that some corres- pondence had been received, but as the English go- | vernment did not interfere in the affair, the corres- | pondenge would not be published.

A heavy cannonade in ‘that direction had led to the report, which is still ciroulated, but I have good reason to believe it is | ottrue. A treaty has just been signed, and the ratifica- | fons exchanged, between France and England, for | be partage and division of the prizes taken. It is | {rawn up on terms of equal rights. ‘The reported loss of the Tiger is confirmed. When | she got aground the crew resisted at first. The captain, Gifford, had his leg shot off, and a midship- | aman was killed. The crew then surrendered. It is | aid that the bombardment of Odessa has been re- | mewed, as the authorities refuse to give up the cap- tared crew. There are various versions of the af- air; one ia that the Tiger was sunk by the Rus- sians, another that she was sunk by her own crew.

How | are the mighty fallen! Is it because the union of | the two great Western Powers, natural and heredi- | tary enemies of each other, is considered an ill- | omened one? In successful diplomacy Russia cer- | tainly surpasses every other nation. Every spot on the earth swarms with her emissaries. It appears that the present statesmen in England, France and Austria are allied by marriage to Rus- sian families. Wherever this connection is formed, no matter whether it is by Russian lords or Russian ladies, itis to the advantage of Russia. Whether it be from fear or affection of the Czar, he finds he orshe diplomatists, emissaries or spies in every | court of Europe. Omer Pacha has probably fought by this time a pitched battle with the Russians, near Shumla. God grant that he has been victorious; but, even if so, he can only retard the march of the Russian army, with its fearful and ever advancing numbers. The dead bodies of Russians seem to form Ment goe: BY, which the hordes of their countrymen advance. ‘There is scarcely a possibility of the Turkish Gene- , ral receiviug any succor from the Western armies | before he has hazarded and fought a great battle. | After such a battle, France and magiepe will have | to make great exertions to roll back the checked | but ever advancing tide of Russian invaders, and will learn, to their cost, what,they have lost by not affording timely succor to overmatched Turkey.

Louis Napoleon’s long talked of coup d'état, it is said by those well informed on the subject, may pos- sibly come off the week after next. The Chambers are almost entirely composed of legitimists and Or- | leanists, no republicans, and but few original impe-.| rialists. To get rid of the legislature and the press is the object of this second coup d’état. The repub- licans at Cayenne are to be liberated. The African generals, excepting probably only Changarnier, are to be allowed to go home. Rollin, Victor Hugo and Louis Blanc have already received intimation that | if they will take the oath of allegiance they will be | permitted to return. The numerous arrests made every day in Paris, amongst the legitimist party, | give color to the probability of an early movement | the opinion of such well informed men as Ledra Rollin, I do not believe that a coup d'état is contem- | bers to his imperial will, except in the case of Mon- | talembert, to give an excuse for such a high banded movement. A stranger, who yesterday, for ‘the first time, shonld have visited Paris, would have little dream- ed that /a belle France of which this fairy city is the pivot, was, throughout her whole length and breadth, unceasingly occupied in enlisting her youth and employing her treasure to sustain a war whioh promises to be no less bloody in its character than interminable in its duration. Refreshing showers during the night had cooled the air—heated by a too brilliant sun—and ‘allayed the light dust, which, as if emblematic of the chil- dren of the soil, a very deluge cannot damp beyond the passing moment; and the sun, which now throws out its beaming rays, was of so placid and fascinating a character that yesterday every man, woman and child seemed to feel the magic in- fluence of it. From the clock tower of the Tuileries to the topmost roof of the Arch of Triamph, there was a sea of happy faces such as a Sunday exhibits inno other capital in the world. Tollettes, in which, if there were absolutely lesa money value than is seen in palaces, there was certainly not less taste and originality. Children, too, decked out, plamed and garlanded, as none but French children ever are; and while a triple line of equipages, each vieing | with the other in color and gorgepus livery, dashed | up and down the magnificent avenues, music of | every variety, from the florid songstress of an opera air, pouring forth her thrilling note from beneath gilded temples, whose light elegance of fabri> is only equalled by the splendor of their rich fittings, down to the humble pipe and sonorous barrel organ, was there to add increased animation to the scene.

The general belief seems to be that Odessa is again under bombardment. The cry is everywhere for more troops, and more troops are being daily prepared. The authorities are wor! night and day.

The art of the upholsterer is to bare piace to the more ge- nial art which allies it nature, and which exhibits itself in the flower garden, the sloping and verdant lawn, the sp: cascade, and the broad reservoir.

Queen Christina bas had a dangerous attack of measles, but is convalescent. The late auspicious change of the weather has produced a fest im- ovement in the vineyards, which are now holding forth so great a promise, that already a very con- siderable fall has taken place in the price of wines. ‘The Champs Elysées is to partake largely of the ar- chitectural improvements now every where per- vading Paris. Ground has been purchased on the left leading to the Barriere de l’Etoile, where mag- nificent structures are to be erected, extending as far as the Hip, me. In fact, the Champs Ely- sées and the avenue St. Cloud, to the entrance of | Bois de Boulogne, are to constitute the Regent’s Park, henceforth, of Paris; and from the luxuriant disposition of the grounds, lakes, waterfalls, and fine trees of the new Park of Boulogne, it is easy to | believe that the metropolis of France will become more famous than ever. Where the money all comes from, is certainly sometimes a question which suggests itself; but the answer always is, “Oh! the Emperor does it all.” ‘The hotels are everywhere full, and it is only by that beds are to be procured. The arrivals from America are perpetually increasing. Mr. Mason, the United States Minister, has changed his residence from the avenue Gabrielle to the Quartier Beaujon. It is said that he has twice gone through the verb “avoir,” and can already conjugate Je mange, tu | manges, il mange; so it is not impossible he may yet live to do the state some service.

One of our London correspondents has forwarded us the subjoined copy of the resolutions prepared by the committee for conducting the great meeting which was to be held at Sheffield on the 21st ult., to consider the present critical aspect of European af- fairs, and at which Kossuth and others of the re- volutionary leaders were expected to speak. It will be easily seen from the tenor of these resolutions, that this anti-Austrian movement has originated | with the revolutionary Central Committee of London, and we have reason to believe that it is only the first | of a series of efforts that will be made to agitate the public mind of England on the subject. COPY OF RESOLUTIONS. 1, Resolved, That this meeting regards the war against Russia to be in the interest of justice and- solid peace; inasmuch as Russia has robbed Finland | of Sweden, mutilated Turkey and Persia, destroyed the nationality of Poland, and oppressed Hungary; crimes, the impunity of which emboldened her to the present war, and made it the duty of Ei id. to incur large sasrifices in order to uphold the rights of nations wo fah the encroachments of despotism. | ie national wrongs caused by these en- | croachments, and security to the independence of nations, is the only aim which the people of England will estimate to be a worthy compensation for its eacrifices in Soe, on this war. 2. Resolved, That this’ meeting is convinced that no termination of the present war.can either give that security, or guarantee , unless Russia is forced to disgorge her ill-gotten plunder, and is there- by weakened as well against future aggressions as ression abroad. And as the ussia with the aid of Austria and Prussia, having been the most unjustifiable spoliation, was alio the stepping-stone to all subse- quent violations of the law of nations; first, there- fore, and foremost, Poland must be restored to inde- pendence with its ancient territory, in strength suffi- cient to be again a barrier to Europe. And this meeting is of opinion that such a re-erection of Po- land into an ins sarap nation, is not only an-act | also for the security of Europes tadiopen: necessary for y of ; indispen- sable for securing the object of the warrants meces- | pe A earns of the fature peace and maintenance | |' terially ;‘at the present prices thi 400 ards’ for the last year, for this was £1,642 128. 8d.

It is only about three days steaming from our shores. By some this French occupation has been taken as an argument for separation from the mother country, as in case of an pean war, we should be enabled to observe neutrality and thus attain security. We regret to have to record that a public officer in a conspicuous position in the Vice-regal hi which, however, su; y. Many hi ouse- hold, has been openly charged with a scandalous e on public decency, and that he has not at- tem; to explain or rebut it. The connection exists between this offi Gov General renders this affair the more disreputable. ‘The mining prospects of this colony have received some en it during the past ten months, from a di which has been made at Major’s Creek, in the vicinity of Braldwood, on what are called the Southern wings. A very large num- ber of miners are at work upon this , and al- though no individual instances of great success have t occurred, the increased amount of gdid which brought into pony Som this field, shows that a fair average return is secured by those at work there. About one thousand miners are at work. In the Western Gold Field, a quarts vein has been re- cently discovered at Tambaroora, which is expected to yield largely, when the proper machinery is erected for crushing. The aspect of the commercial interest is marked by extreme caution and inanimation? The markets* are at present glutted with nearly every variety of ods. Although there are very deposits lying in all the banks, which bear no interest, there || is a.deplorable want of enterprise to turn them to useful and fructifying account. ‘There is still a demand for labor of every descrip- tion. It does not appear likely that any diminution will take place as long as the gold fields offer suffi- cient remuneration. There has been a large class of persons created here, to whom freedom from any restraint (other than the necessity of providing for the daily wants may impose) is a compensation for extreme hardships. Severe pressure alone will in- duce these restless independent spirits again to en- counter the anceey of an office life, or to succumb to the conventionalities of an urban existence. There is still demand for female domestic servants, for which this community seems to have an insatia- ble appetite, shipload after shipload being swallowed up immediately on their arrival. A great pro tion of these marry well to settlers in the interior, and those that are left demand and obtain wages that would be deemed preposterous athome. There is a great demand in the printing trade fer composi- tors.

Thus far has pleasant weather smiled upon the visiters of West Point, and as yet nothing has ooour- red to interfere with the various fleld exeroises which take place here before the Board every afternoon, after academic hours. On Monday the examination of the third class in mathematics was resumod and continued throughout the day. The class passed 8 © fine examination, though their course embraces the very highest branches of one strictly mathematical. At the conclnsion of the examination for the day, @ battalion drill took place upon the plain. The various evolutions of this school of the tactics were performed with the most accurate precision and un- equalled rapidity ; and indeed this last is one great characteristic of the military exercises of the cadets, There is no wavering, no delay ; a command once uttered, and with but asingle motion throughout the ranks, it is executed with the speed of light- ning. The formation of hgllow squares for resisting charges of cavalry, was the principal feature of the first halfhour's drill. At each successive formation at the command from the instructor, two rows of bristling bayonets fell to the position of the charge, forming a barrier which in case of emergency has almost ever proved to be the great safety guard of, the infantry. The marching of the battalion in one line was most excellent, and their other mancuvres upon the field were performed in a manner well wor- thy of their distinguished reputation. Each man- was supplied with cartridges, and the drill was en- livened by the very frequent volleys of musketry poured forth upon the imaginary enemy. On Tuesday morning, the examination in mathe- matics was resumed, and finished early in the day The first class department of ethics came next, and, though numbering four sections, was hurried through with before the adjournment of the Board at five o’clock P.M. The necessity for an extended course of ethical studies at the Military Academy has always been apparent, and the present one is but the skeleton of what it should be. Embracing noth. ing but Kent’s Commentaries, Wayland’s Moral Science, and Whately’s Logic, it cannot command its due share ef attention from the cadet, and is hurried over as ove of the least important of his studies. The friends of this department have earnestly striven to add another year to the cadet probation, in order that they might graduate lit men, as well as soldiers, from the academy; and it a question well worthy of the consideration of Con- gress, whether it is not strictly their duty, making this addition, tosend forth to the wot more fighly polished scholars than many of the mathematical automatons who are now the yearly aduates. Another year is sadly needed to the course, and the ethical department is by no means the oy, one which is crying aloud for reform in this resp On Tuesday afternoon, at five o'clock, the corps formed into two companies, and was drilled upon the pian as skirmishers. During the greater part of the CE skirmishers were upon a full ran, and, thor @ proper ior emd was ki yy amang themselves, hey 0! ap) d to P3 practised eye scattered helter skelter over the plain. At times they seemed to be creeping stealthily al in Indian-file, when of a sudden the sharp report a rattling fire would break upon the ear, and the wick succession of solitary shots would tell too Dikinly the neighborhood of the Ceeng and the nature of the service they were engage: fn. Then, as when in danger, they bat aed upon the ground, and lying flat, steadily maintained their fire. But as » they arose, and slowly retreating, fired as they went, until, as when too hotly rp form- ing in circles, they checked, by their charged bayo- nets, the close is hes of the foe. Then, as though he had retreated, breaking out again upon a full run, they would appear to harass his rear, until when charged upon they would give way, seeming once more to seek safety in the points of their bayonets. Forming at times into bg ned companies, they changed their position in the field ; then, scattering out once more as skirmishers, the constant firing which they kept up tended yet more to heighten the interest of the scene. On Wednesday morning the examination of the second class in philosophy was commenced, and that of the first and second sections was before one o'clock. The third section was called uy in the afternoon, and the examination of the whol class was finished on Thursday morning. The course in philosophy, ombraci# the subjects of mechanics, accoustics, optics, astronomy. and magnetism, is longer than any other in the academy, and the ex- ination of this class could not be expected to be as perfect as that of some others. The new work of Professor Bartlett upon the subject of mechanics, is the only one in which is to be found the ica- tion of strictly analytical principles to the sul of forces; and difficult as it must ne: be, it was bat a long Hid ent toon’ er be mastered, even in fo periment was made for the hist past year, and the excellent examinations pass qy this subject have proved to the most sceptical that cadets are fully equal to the task.
