Her privileged position on the Biack Sea bas enabled her to found establisments on that sea, and to form there a vaval force, which, from want of a counterp ise, is 8 perpetual menace to the Ottomin empire.

Tbe recent communications, continues M. de Lhays,of Baron de Hubner, (the Austrian ambassa- @or at Pazis,) authorise me already in saying that the opinioas of Count de Buol, (the Minister at Vi- una,)are the aame as mine, and tiat be regards asI do, the guarantee which Europe is entitled to de. mavd from Russia, &s., &c. Thia letter of the French Minister for Foreign Af- fairs eeems to have given universal satisfaction, and bas immensely increased his reputation, already so high, for dipiomatic ability. Count Nesselrode had used some special pleading to prove that the occu- pation of the Principalities was not the cause of the wer. M.

Petersburg can no longer honorably represent (ne sauratt pus honorablement représenter) the evacuation of the Principalities as a concession made to the diplomavy of Austria. | DESPATCH OF COUNT NESSBLRODK TO PRINCE Gont- | SCHAKOFT, RUSSIAN ENVOY AT VIENNA. Sr. Pererspure, 17-29 June, 1854. My Provor—Count Esterhazy nas communicated to me the despatch by which his Cabinet requests us (nows engage) to put a termto the actaal crisis by avoiding to push farther our traneDanuditi operations, and in eva spo the Priacipalities within as short a delay as possibie. In motif: ing this desire on Austrian and Germin in tereats whic the extension of the struggle on the Danube would compromise, Coant Baol supports himself on the ground that our occupation of the Principalities was the principal cause of the war. We shall ask bis leave to make some reserves in this reapect. he occupation of the Principalities had not pre- verted hand a and the continuation of the ne- otiations. [t was not it which provoked the abaa- nt of the Vienns note, the rejectioa of the Propositions made at Olmutz, with the con urrence and tte spprobation of Austria, no more than the complete cnange of all the anterior bases of nego- tistions; and if since then all attempts at recoacilia tion have proved abortive, the Austrian Cabinet a: not disown that it aroee from incidents aud m9- tives much more compiicated, u, waich we prefer remaining silent to to avoid disagreeable recri- We replied by ailence to the e rep! yy co gummons of France Oa itn d, rene SE an offensive natare. forme blessante’ ry Open provo vations thd devoid of all conditi ms of reciprocity; aad if war resulted therefrom, it would be just to impate the cause thereof less to the nature of our reply than to the tone and terms which provoked it, However this may be igu'il en soz), if in the opinion of the Austrian Goverament, tuo proloaged Occup tion of tbe Principalities was the motive of the war, it would result therefrom that by the cessa- tion of that occupation the war would cea-e from toe fact iteclf, as hostilities would be eusyen tod.

Ata distance of about 1,000 yards from the principal fortress and from the shore are mounds or hilio.ks, two of which are fortified as detached works, mouatin about twenty gunseach. That to the vorth is Fort Nottich, and is 130 feet hign; that to the sont» the Tzee Fort; the central. mound is us for a telegraph station. These works bear aimost the same relation to the main fort of Bomarsuni as the forte of Arab Tabaia and Me3jidjie bore to the town ot Silistria. To attack those works it is s pored that the land forces will advance ia two de visions. The brigade from tbe north will consist of 2,000 French infantry, 100 eappers and miners, 600 marines, 16 heavy 32 pounders, four field-pieces, aud. one rocket company, being the force destined te attack Fort Nottich in the first instance, The bri- de from the south will consist of 3,000 Fren:h ia- itry and 30 heavy siege guns, nnder the command of General Bai ay 1D ’Hilliers in peraon, and will attack the Tzee Fort. The interest o: the position of the enemy and of the siege consists in the redac- tion of those detached forts, and in this operation the ships can take no active part. This fact establishes two points of considerable interest to our maritime operations in the Baitie. It is clear, in the first place,that in the shallow waters and aiticals pales of that inland sea onr great th-ee- deckers can hardly ever bs brought safficiently near to the enemy’s worke to bear upon them with effect.
