Austria hse, it is said, published a re- ply, but the text-has not yet reached me. There ‘are vague rumors that Austria aud Prussiaare about 2oaddrees another joint note to Russia. Truly it is bigh t'me these waste paper documents were over. If the statement is true that the Russians have re-entered the Principalities, thon is Austria bound by her treaty with the Porte to expel thom by force. This would settle the Question at once. Irather think, therefore, that the Russians have not re-entered the Principalities. General Baron Hess, commanier-in-chief of the Austrian troops in Galicia and Transylvania, has been summoned to Vienna. He has hadtwo or ‘Maree Interviews with the Empercr and Count Buol. If Austria can only decide, she at once gains a long desired object—supremacy in Germany—and Prussia will sink into a second rate power. If the yyoung Emperor has the pluck to grasp the banuer of Germany firmly in bis left hand, and draw his sword ogainst Russia, the German empire may be vevived under the house of Hapsburg. There is nothing stirring elsewhere in Europe. An Austrian railway has been conceded toa French company. In Spain a ministerial crisis is spoken of.

Sebasto pol may prove a tower of strength for Lord Aber. Geen, if not for his friend the Czar. At the same Rime there are signs abroad that the coalition is not &o be permitted to ride off on the glories of the Wrar; it was quite enough that they should do so on ‘Ate speculations during the last session; and already Many anxious deliberations have taken place at the various ministerial residences, the importance of Which would not be unworthy of more formal cabi- Net councils, Lord Aberdeen is not disinclined to another Reform bill from Lord John Rassell, if only ‘6a means of drawing off the public mind in some @egree from the war; and Sir William Molesworth, member for the metropolitan borough of Southwark, Takes such a bill a sine gua non of his continuance In the ministry. The position of this baronet by the side of Mr. Gladstone, Chancellor of the Ex shequer, is certainly hot among the least remarkable of the chances and @hangés which have occurred to party in England @auring the last twenty yesrs. Sir William is the eighth baronet in descent from the first, who was Governor of Jamaica in the reign of Charles the Se- tond. He succeeded to the title at the early age of thirteen. He was bornin 1810. At the age of nine- deen he wont to pursue his studies at Cambridge, but, ‘travelling in Germany during the long vacations, be- Came #0 enamored of the German university sys- tem, that he removed bis name from Cambridge to transfer it to Gottingen. Here it wasthat Sir Wm- Molesworth imbibed, among other philosophical ac- Quisitions, opinions on revealed religion which ren- Ger his present jaxtsposition with Mr. Gladstone (whose viewa verge on Popery) #0 extraordinary: Bir William edited the works of Hobbs, and openly proclaimed himself a deist. On the passing of the Reform bill he was elected member for Cornwall, fand distinguished himself in Parliament as an ultra liberal. Molesworth, Leader—member for West- Tainster—and Roebuck were termed the first fruite pf the Reform bill; and when the authors of that wreat meazure beeame afraid of their work, and were attaining every nerve to allay the popular en- Ebusiasm they had exited, it was these three young ten that led the few liberals who still proclaimed a their banners the word“ Onward.” Poor Roe- back, who became the terror of the House of Com- mons, has been smitten down by paralysis, when all the world was opening to him. Leader, of whom uch etrong hopes were entertained, dropped by the way, and throwing up his representation of tke first city in the empire, retired Rothe south of France, and is still living an epicu- rean life at Cannes,in the neighborhood of Lord aam, who took a great fancy to him.

Mr. Grote’s opinions and Rhose of Sir W.

NAPOLEON, ‘The date of this letter is the 16th, and it is only published im the Moniteur on the 26th. The doca- ment, it appears, waa not originally intended for official publication; but, in consequence of a Prete lent rumor throughout Paris that the Emperor at heart anything but sorry to bave lost a very trou- ita sertion in the Moniteur. Nothing certainly can be more bona fide than the expressions of personal e3- teem and gratitude it contains; at the same time, the old saw, which says He that’s convinced against his will Is of the same opinion still, will find more than one illust:ation on this occasion. ‘The Marshal is looked upon &s one who was simply | @ bold, successfal and’ most unscrupulous advea- time to time I ation | turer: an admirable tool for the Emperor’s:purposes | /2Y in times past; but mow that the boat which carries Cvesar and his fortunes has got iato deep water, a most excellent riddeuce; and Napoleon may pub- lish a8 many letters, filling ag many volames as his Idées Napolzones, ere he makes France believe the contrary. As to the family of the Marshal, if the following anecdote be trae—and I believe there is no doubt of it—it is likely to do quite as well without the Mar- shal as with him:—St. Arnaud had an only daughter, who was about to be married; a few days before the ceremony took place, the Emperor desired him to accompany him tohis cabinet, where, after assuring him that no event in his family could ever be a mat ter of indifference to him, he presented him a roll of notes to the amfount of 400,000 francs, as a dota- to his hter, The Marshal keted i ea, mae his di iter half! eo fact, | the Marshal's whele history is-rife with similar anec- | dotes.

The Duke" of Cambridge and | Prince Napoleon were known to have pronounced the pro) expedition madness, } Dun fae hohe ly of the Baltic Fleet to Kiel—Miscellaneous. In my last letter I mentioned that Mr. Soulé, American representative at Madrid, had been refased permission to pass through France on his return to the Spanish capital. It seems that the statement was correct. It has caused some sensation among the American residents at Paris, and Mr. Mason has had some communications with M. Drouyn de I'Huys, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, on the subject. It appears thet Mr. Soulé left London for Calais with the purpose of visiting Parie, and so on to Madrid. On his arrival at Oalais | he was waited upon by the Mayor, who siguified to | him that an order had been received from the French government to prevent his passage through | the French territory. Mr. Soulé then asked what | would be done in case of his non-compliance. The | report is (I cannot vouch for its accuracy,) that the Mayor telegraphed to Paris for instractions, and received for answer that if Mr. Soulé persisted, he was to be arrested. Mr. Soulé then returned to | London. . As regards the siege of Sebastopol, the accounts are very contradictory. It is officially confirmed that the bombardment commenced on the 17th October, by land and sea. The last relisble accountsare to the 21st October. We learn that the fleets were actively engaged and suffered some loss, namely—90 killed and 200 wounded. The Agamemnon, Admiral Lyon’s ship, lsreported to have suffered most; the Retri- bution bad. mast carried away by a shot, and a shell which exploded on board Admiral Hemelin’s ship, | | A8 the Ville de Paris, killed one of his aldes-de-camp and wounded an>ther. Fort Quarantine is reported to have been silenced by the French squadron, whilst the forts to the left of the harbor on entering dre said to have been blown up by the English. Another account adds that a breach had been made in the walls, and that the place was to be stormed at the point of the sword and bayonet. Prince Men- schikoff had not made any attempt to attack the camp of the allies at Balaklava. A Rassian tele- graph purports to bring news from Sebastopol to _ | the 23d. It says thatthe bombardment continued, that little damage had been done to the forts, that a sacoeesfal sortie had been made against the French, nu which eleven guns and eight mortars were spiked. * The death of Korniloffis confirmed. Lord Dunkel- | lin, eldest son of the Marquis ‘of Clanricarde, \s re- ported to have been made prisoner by the Russians. From all this you will see that the accounts sre contradictory. | Some sensation has been created in political cir | cles by the sentence made use of by Louis Napoleon in his letter to the wife of the late Marshal St. Ar- naud. He there alludes to the timid counsels over- ruled by the Marshal. Explanations will be de- manded from the government as s00n as Parliament meets, asto whom these words are applicable. It is Clear that there was not unanimity in the councils of war at Varna. The Austro- Prussian entente, or rapture, whichever you mey choose to call it, has not yet beea settled either way. Couriers are travelling daily between Vienng and Berlia, and the strings are at the pre- sent moment in the hands of Baron von der Pford- ten, the Bavarian Prime Minister, the same indivi- dual who presided over the Bamberg coalition. H3 has intimated to Prussia that if she quarrels with Austria, Bavaria, Saxony, and the other States of the Bamberg coalition, will be under the necessity, on the principle of self-preeervation, to join Austria, He therefore recommonds Prussia to make it up with | Anstria—to join Austria at the Dict, and thus pre- serve unity in Germany, but not with a view to join- ing the Western Powers, but to make conditions with Austria, that in the interests of Germany she | hs: | ) Austria) will not go to war with Russia. This is the last way the wind blows in ths‘ quarter. The Morning Post publishes the followiag para graph, the truth of which I leave to you to decide: We believe we may state, without fear of contradic tion, that a series of negotiations between tho govern- ment of the United States and the Republic of San Do- mingo, has resulted in the establishment of a protect rate on the partof the United States—amounting vir- tually, if not absolutely, to the annexation of that por- tion of theisiand of 8an Domingo which belongs to the | republic of that name. The acquisition of so important | a position in the West Indies by the government of the United States—a position threatening on either hand the Spavish islands of Cuba and Porto Rico, and so d Sliecting our own West Indian ompire—cannot be vie with indifference. It is manifestly one of the results of that ambitious and aggressive policy which the United States appear determined to pursue on both sides of the Atlantic. I bave heard nothing more respecting the con- grees of United States envoys in Germany. London is gradually filling. The weather is quite mild, like spring. The Baltic fleet has returned to Kiel.

Prince Pasklewitsch adds that on the morning of the 18th, at the départure of the courier, the fire from the ships had not recommenced but that of the land batteries continued, The date of all this is Vienna, October 25. The Monueur gives also the following from Wel- mar, dated October 17:— Yesterday took place here, as we have already an- pounced, a conference of ministers from alll the grand ducal and Saxe dueal powers, at which M. le Comte Beust, Envoy at Berlin, assisted, in order to deliberate on the attitude necessary to be observed in the great question of the day, and cspecially in face of the differ- = at present existing between the two great owers, The Bremen! ofa union and common oe - Rod rt of Germany was erally recognized; and in fur- herance of this ‘objectean ‘extended treaty, offensive and defensive, between Austria and Prussia, on the basis or- ganized by German interests, in the present situation of affairs; and it was resolved to cl ‘the representatives of the gourtete question to act in this sense, both at Berlin and fort. On the German theme, the Assemblée Nationale saya, and ¢he public sie te France is quite in accordance ‘with its sentiments :— We are at length in possession of the text of the despatch of the 18th inst, by which Prussia replies to | that of Austria of the 30th ‘ult. Our readers will sec | from this document that not only does Prussia main- tain the policy which she has hitherto followed in the | Eastern question, but she declares, in the plainest manner, that sho will not in any way nnite in the views of Austria, as regards the line of conduct to be pursued by the Germanic Confederation in the midst of the pre- sent European complications, As to the form of the document, if the expressions are moderate, ag they are | called at Berlin, it must be admitted that the general tone of it is not wanting in bitterness towards Austria, The despatch does not appear so favorable to an under- standing between the two great German Powers as was at first hoped; but it is known that it is not possible, | from a first reading, to form a just appreciation of the meaning of German diplomatic documents, since the Cabinets which exchange them reproach each other with not sinsya interpreting them in their due sense and meaning.

But the sufferings gone ag the allles since t*e battle have been terrible. Read the following letter from a private of the Royal artiilery:— “When the troops disembarked, I was unable to go ashore, and had to be lifted in and out of bed, so T was sent down in ® steamer to Scatari, never was ‘so miserable in my life as during the ~five days I was on board the Kangaroo steamer. What with the cries of the dying men and the horrid stench of the vessel, I was nearly dead myeelf, for there were about three hundreé sick men come down in the same ship, and we had forty deaths during the passage. When I airived at Scutari I was admitted into the hospital, and was in for two or three days, when about eloven hundred wounded men came ‘down from the field; £0 they wore obliged to send all the sick men out of the hospital that were able to move, to make room for them; #0 I am now in barracks, and attend every morning to see the doctor. We were vory fortanate with our battery during the time the cholera was so prevalent; for in tne First division, to which it belongs, consisting of three Highland regiments and three battalions of Guards, they had to bury ten or twelve men each every day. ‘I think the total loss of the British army, by cholera, since they landed in this country, is about fifteen hundred, and the Fretch far more. The men who survive are 60 weakened that they aro scarcely fit to do any: thing. The Guards, 1 think, lost the moat of any. Since the great ‘battle of the Alma, the estimated loss of the British, killed and wounded, is obout five thousand; the Freuch not so many,as they were under cover of the guns of the ficet. There are a great number of Rasstan prisoners sent down here, aod among them threa goxcrals and officers of different ranks, It is a Im mentable sight to ece the poer fellows in the hospi- tol, lying avout in the wards and passages, some of them wounded in five or six different places, some baying lost an acm, some lea, others shot in the head and different parts of the body, Unforta- nately (bere is not a sufficient RuMb<r of doctors to attend them, and they are dying of ia great num- lero every day.

The Paris journals copy, this morning, from the Daily News and the Post of London, the announcement that His Excellency P.Soulé, United | States Minister to Spain, had left Dover by the Gouth Eastern Company's packet, on his way to Paris. But they do not add the fact that on his ar- rival at Calais, night before last, Mr. Soulé was re- 1d admission into France, was obliged to remain on board the boat, and to return, by midnight, in the roughest weather, to Dover! Such is, neverttie- | less, the fact. With this bare statement of the fact, T must deliver it over to the comments which it can- not fail to provoke on the other side of the At- lantic. ‘The cause for this act of courtesy, not to say for this insult, to an accredited Minister of the United States—a Power with which the French government ia, at present, on terms of peave—is, of course, not yet publicly known, It is true that the Hon. Mr. Soulé is accredited as minister, not to the Court of Napoleon, but to the Court of Isabella. But in his recent visit to Paris, a8 well as when he first arrived here on his way to Madrid, his passport as American citizen, not to mention his passport as American minister, sufficed to protect him against all possible inconvenience, for which his escape, years aud years ago, from the consequences of his trisl for alleged libel as editor of a French journal, might have afforded, however remotely, any pretext. In diplomatic circles it is whispered that during Mr. Soulé’s recent visit, pre- viously to his departure for the conference at Os tend, his apartment at the Hotel du Rhin was fre- quented by as motley a set of visiters as flocked to the apartment of a certain other guest in the same hotel, in 1848, when Prince Louis Napoleon arrived there from London. If it is not openly alleged that the American Minister indi rae suppoeed the liuperoe was docSrered, ad ha ‘was dis7 at the vety period of the American 1 jotthjin the Place Vendome.
