The W. brings us fuller information relative to the treaty of alliance between Austria and the West- ern Powers. 'Yhe London Times of the Gth gives the following despatch from Vienna:— Vienna, Monday Evening, Dec. 4, 1854. ‘The follo will probably be found correct:— The convention concluded on Saturday was a triple al- Vance. The last article in the Anglo-French treaty of alliance was, that the other European Powers shou! at liberty to’ accede to it, and Austria has now done so. ‘The sense of the treaty probably is— 1. That Austria has engaged to consider every viola- tion of the Turkish territory by Russia as equivalent to @ declaration of war against herself. 2. That Austria will reinforce her army in the Prin- cipalities, so that Omer Pasha may at once begin operations, the Imperial troops remaining as a kind of reserve. ‘3. At the demand of the Western powers, Austria wilf place 16,000 or 25,000 men at Varna, which, in case of need, can be sent to the Crimea. 4. England and France pledge themselves that the territorial possessions of the Emperor of Austria shall, under all circumstances, remain undiminished. ‘There is a secret article. Aiter the triple alliance has been ratified, Prussia will be invited to accede to it. The Moniteur of Paris officially announces that on the 2d December this treaty was signed at Vienva by the Plenipotentiaries of Austria, France and Engiand. It issaid that if (Russia does not yield within three months its conditions will come into force; or, in other terms, that Austria will fight on the side of the Western Powers. From an ex- perience of the general faithlessness of Austria there was a disposition in England and France to distrust the prospect of any eubstantial advantage from the alliance. ‘The Berlin correspondent of the London Times telegraphs as foliows:— ‘The Russian answer to the Prussian note expresses the willingness of the Emperor to treat on the following terma:— TA common guarantee by the five Powers of the rights of the Christian subjects of the Porte, without distinction, as to confession. 2. A common protectorate of the Principalities to be exercised by the five Powers, on the terms of the treaties now existing between Russia and the Porte. 3. A revision of the treaty ef 1841, 4. The free navigation of, the Danube. ‘The telegraphic despatches received in London, relative to the operations in the Crimea, range from the 15th to the 25th ult., from which we gather that, at-the lates: date the siege was vigorously continued, and the allied troops were in excellent spirits. The position of the allied armies had been very much strengthened, particularly towards the right flank. Aw contraire toyPrince; Menechikoff, states that, up to the 24th, there was “ nothing new.” The bombardment continued but feebly. ‘The Roseians appear to have made several sorties upon the French, bat with very little success, having been on each occasion repulsed. Fiags of truce had passed between the Generals, and it has been agreed to exchange Lord Dankellin, by desire of the Empe- ror, for a Russian capiain. Reinforcements were @aily arriving in the Crimes. Our correspondent at Southampton writes on the 6th inst. as follows:— ‘The details of the losses of the allies during the great in the Black Ses had been received, and appear in fhe Lendon jourosls. Although very severe, they are not so great as was anticipated. Fourteen ships princi- ily sailing Speer gd were wrecked near Sebastopol. Fro’ ships of the tine, (French), and thirteen vessels of different classes, were driven on shore near Eupatoria. Some of those would be got oif; others had beea burnt to prevent thelr falling into the hands of the enemy. Cossacks fired upon the crews whilst attempti * toeseape. One Russian frigate sunk near Sebastopol. A vast quantity of winter clothing, provisions and am- munition for troops, was lost on these transports. ‘The loss of life was frighful on the part pf the crews of these vessels. The Moniteur publishes ee despatch from “General Canrobert, dated Noy. 22- Nothing of ‘mpor- tance had occu! since the 17th. The batceries of the allies bad not discontinued their fire. During sn eacoun- ter of English riflemen with a body of Russians, the Jatter were defeated. The reported battle on the 13th ‘tarns out to have been a mere sortie of the Russians, who were driven back with the loss of 300 killed, the French losing 40 men. Prince Menschikoff states that on the 24th the fre of the allies had become very feeble. But a despatch from poms gay states that the bombardment had been renewed. allies were surrounded and protected by ‘an enormous circumvallation, consisting of curtains, with advanced bastions, and immense earthworks in triple lines. The French had repelled several sorties, and there were constant affairs between the pickets. Fresh reinforcements were arriving daily. The men were busy hutting themselves. Flags of trace had passed between tue generals, and it was agreed to exchange Lerd Dunkellen, by desire of the Czar, for » Russian cap- ‘tain. In an attack on Let apres the Russians had been driven loss. back with considera’ xi tch from Sebastopol, dated 25th, ‘A telegraphic des} ratates that the Russians, having made a sortie, were re- pulsed by the British, who seized and kept possession of & battery of nine guns. After the departure of the English Baltic fleet from Nargen, several of the Russian line-of-battle vships put to sea, for the purpose of meeting with *the squadron at Helsingfors, They had soarcely got fairly out of the harbor ore a heavy gale came on. The flag ship lost her rudder, and three of the ships in company got on shore. Steamers towed them off, and conducted them back again to port. The Phare dela Manche mentions the departure from Cherbourg of the Trident, ship-of-the line, which has been converted into a trangport for the conveyance of stores to the Black Sea, ‘The entire French Baltic squadron, which was to winter at MORNING EDITION—MONDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1854, Cherbourg, is to proceed to Toulon, with the excep- tion of the Austerlitz, which requires repairs. ‘The London Gazette contains am order in council prohibiting the exportation of lead, nitrate of soda, blue lias, Portland cement, or any article commonly used in the manufacture of mstime cement, to any place in Europe north of Dunkirk. Admiral Dandas’s three years’ term of service as commander-in-chief in the Mediterranean and Black Gea will,terminate in the course of nex} month, when, we believe, it is probable that the admiral will return to England. Advices from Odessa, of the 15th, state that the rains had rendered travelling in the south of Russia 80 difficult, that the couriers who not long since per- formed the journey from Sebastopol to Moscew in five days, now consume eight or nine on the road. It is thought that St. Petersburg will cease for a time to be the source of the earliest mews from the Crimes. It is stated on respectable authority tnat Marshal Baraguay d’Hilliers is to comand the French ar- my of the Danube. - The London Advertiser of the let inst. eays:— i Wagopak aevioetiyime weeny that there isan in- fluential iY als in the House of Com- bc e Ay very beg of rraats Agioad are re- solved to do every! in their power not only to get the present Pale ook aside, but to have Lord Palmer- ston appointed in his place, immediately after the meeting of the Legislature. There cannot be a doubt that the feeling throughout the country. is in favor of a Palmerstonian Cabinet, because it is everywhere believ- ed that the t Home Secretary is the man who, of all others, would carry on the war with Russia with the greatest vigor, and bring Austria most promptly and unceremoniously to book. The rumors afloat with reference to the govern- ment being in treaty for the steamship City of Glas gow as a troopship, are groundless, for we can posi- tively state that this vessel would be despatched from Liverpool for Philadelphia on Wednesday, 20th inst. Advices from Constantinople of the 23d Novem- ber announce the following ministerial changes in Turkey:—Reshid Pasha is made Grand Vizir, Ali | Pasha is made Minister of Foreign Affairs. The fuller details, by the overland mail from China, add nothing to the accounts received by telegraph. From Canton the news is unfavorable to the insurgents. Our dates from Shanghae are to the 2d ult. In political local affairs there is nothing new. Wegather fromthe Pekin Gazette of the 28th of August, that the Imperial cause was pro- greasing favorably.

Treaty Between Austria and the Western Powers— Additional Article to the Treaty of 20th April— King of Prussia’s Speech—The Suege of Sebasto- pol—Hurricane in the Black Sea—The Princi: | palitiee—Harro Harring Ordered out of Den mark, &¢., &¢. The great political fact of the day is the conclu: sion (signing) of a treaty between Austria and the Western Powers. This treaty wes signed at Vienna on the 2d inst—curiously enough, the anniversary of the battle of Austerlitz. Couriers were imme- diately sent off from Vienna with copies of the treaty to London and Paris. Prussia andthe Ger- man Confederation are to be invited tojoin it. The treaty is styledan offensive and defensive one; but I am rather inclined to believe that it does not de- serve that appellation. In fact, I am informed that those words are not inserted in the text. The treaty is, in fact, hypothetical, with a view to eventaalities, The very fact, however, of Austria having openly signed a treaty to which the Western Powers agree, is of great importance; the French funds rose three per cent immediately, and a rise, though not #0 great, was the result here. There are sanguine in- dividuals who are of the opinion that Austria will now draw the sword against Russia, and take the field. She will dono such thing. She will make one more attempt to bring the Czar to terms. Be- | fore she concluded this treaty with the Weatern Powers, Austria first made sure of the support of the whole of Germany. A few days previously— that is to say, on the 26th November—an additional articleto the treaty of 20th April was signed at Vienna between Austria and Prussia. In this addi- tional article, Prassia agrees to the four points or guaranties to be demanded of Russia, and also that Prussia and the rest of Germany would regard any attack upon Austrian territory, or upon Austrian trocps in the Principalities, as a casus bell: for all Germany. But here is the article in extenso :— ADDITIONAL ARTICLE TO THE TREATY OF THE 20TH UBTRI The continued threatening state of the attsirs of Eu- rope has induced the high Courts of Vienns and Berlin to consider the necessity of an understanding proper to complete the provisions of the treaty of the 20th of April. The high sovereigns have coincided in this considera- tion, that so far an beg ote the treaty of the 20th of April, extended by the federal decision of the 24th of July, it is above all things oe to act in common, in order to about the acceptation by the Diet of basis for the future negotiations of peace—a basis which would be recognised by them as a proper one. They acknow! it such a basis is to be found in the four points, in favor of the adoption of which Aust interfered with the Court of Russia ; endeavor, oar Me circumstances, pro- cure for that is & favorable _ reception. Although the hope of advancing toward pacific understanding depends on the of that basis, the general’ situation of Europe, ‘and the necessity of pursuing the object of peace with more force, requires that the whole of Germany should act with union. Guided by that idea, and appreciating all the ‘4 which bes od result for berry | from an attack inst the Austrian troops, not only if the Russians entered into the Austrian territories, but also into the Princi- palities, his Majesty the King of Prussia takes, by these resents, bard — vow august ally, > Havesty the mperor of Austria, engagement of giving him as- sistance, even in this last case; and he Toskie that the other members of the German Confederation will also testify, and will prove, in case of necessity, by their ac. ceptance of the present additional article, the same anxiety to offer assistance to Austria. Done at Vienna, this 26th of November, 1854. 00) DE BUOL, COMTE 2’ ARNTM. Scarcely was this signed when the treaty with the Western Powers followed. To use Lord Clarea- don’s celebrated expression, Anstria is evidently drifting towards war with Russia. It would be hazardous to judge the bearing of this treaty, without carefully weighing every word of the text, and that has not yet been made public. ‘The speech of the King of Prussia, on the open- ing of the Prussian Chambers, is now before us. The chief task of the gentlemen or committee charged to concoct it has evidently been to make it as uniatel- Lgible as possible. The following are the important passages :— Gentlemen, to my great regret, a sa! war bas burst out between some powerful members of family of European States. It hasnotas yet reached our ‘Setiren tec Bape thatinveny, pork motives for ho} soon, Uunderatanding will be obtelmed, which will extend farther and te farther. St united to Austria and tho rest of Germany, I am of opinion that my mission is to support peace, ‘ition of the others, and moderation. ita should find myself o! marked ex- pression to this attitude of Prussia, my faithful will know how to support, with the devotedness whichit has so often given proofs of, the inevitable sacrifices aor mone Se ete: meneneeers In atarag inte of such eventui pes: of ent into war Sie veel eee Reece of troops have been forced and material of war completed; in addi the realization of the ,loan authorized by the Chambers in their last session has ted. “Prussia would thus find herself in a l- tion to enter the lists with confidence for the safety of her interests, and of her position in Europe, the moment that the menacing aspect of tical circumstances might require that course. A detailed account of the employment of the loan, only a smalf portion of which has yet been made use of, will be laid before you. Gen- tlemen, at the moment at which you take in hand the task imposed on you, I venture to give you the as- surance that my government will endeavor to facilitate it for you in every way. But, on the other hand, also, I am confident, although I fully recognise the right of dit- ferent opinions, that you will support my government in all questions in which it may be necessary to demon- strate, in presence of foreign countries, the complete ac- cord of the government and the country ; and that you will thus prove, in a veritable Prussian way, that we are strong by union, and all the stronger the more eircum- stances are difficult. May God in this give us his blessing. | What his PrussianjMajesty means by the recogni- tion of the independence of others no man knows, and all the learned at Berlin are putting their heads together to find out. From the actual seat of war in the Crimea we have no news. Up to the 24th, nothing new of im- portance had taken place; the allies were atrength- ening their position, making it in fact an entrench- ed camp, with a wall of circumvallation. Some 15,000 additional reinforcements had arrived. The Russians had withdrawn towards ‘the Belbek. A battle is expected. This time it is thought that the allies will take the offensive. As soon as sufficient reinforcements shall have arrived, they will attack the Russians outside the walls and then attempt the storm of the place. Every preparation has been made for wintering in the Crimea. Hats and cloth- ing are on their way. In the fearfal hurricane of the 14th of November, in which thirty transports were wrecked, the Prince, acrew steamer, went down with 40,000 suits of winter clothing and stores on board. The loss of the allies during this terrible gale was about three hundred men. Another gale took place on the 19th, but details are wanting. The diversion on the Prath has commenced, and a letter from Ibraila announces that the Russians have already suffered a considerable loss im that quarter. The Dobrutecha is now occupied by Turk- ish troops. A large number have arrived at Varna ‘and sailed tor the Crimea. Details of the battle of Inkermann continue to drop in—Raussian reviews and French details, but no new facts. The Duke ot Cambridge is very un- well, harassed by the fatigues of the campaign, and is at Constantinople. The army is in excellent spirits. The Royal Yacht Squadron is sending out two or three of the finest yachts full of luxaries, provisions, clothing, &c., to Balaklava. Money is pouring in trom all quarters to the patriotic fund. Parliament will be opened by the Queen in person onthe 12th. Tne militia will be ordered out to Corfu, Malta, &c. The war will be car:iedon with determined energy. The Danish Minis'ry have, resigned en masse. ‘The elections are all favorable, with few exceptions, to the opposition. Harro Harring, the legal agent of a North American company, has been ordered out of the country. A letter from Copenhagen of the 24th gives the following narration of this arbitrary pro- ceeding:— Acharacteristic event has taken place here. You know the famous Harro Harring—by birth » North- frisian, and he has for many years been an American | citizen—he is now the legal agent of a North American | company which intends to establish a steam and sailin | packet communication between ‘Tonning, in the Danian | duchy of Schleswig, and Aspinwall, Panama, via South- | ampton Eng., New York, and St.Thomas. ‘His agency documents, signed by » banking and shippiog frm in New York, were confirmed by the Danish Consulate there. Hispasspert as an American citizen was issued by the Diplomatic Department in Washington, and awe plomat pal ton, and jv by the Consulate in New York and | Danish Embassy in Lomon, His memorandum or | manuscript, detailing the commercial plans in | question, was delivered by him in London, and | forwarded by General Oxholm, the Danish Minister, on | the 6th of Getober, to Copenhagen, to pave the way | for further transactions. Harro Harring arrived here | accordingly on Wednesday, and was immediately traas- | ported as a criminal to the police office, although his pers were in perfect order. The American Minister ere, Mr. Bedinger, promptly interfered, and the police: master (Broestrup) allowed him to lodge at the Hotel d’ Angleterre. reaps tres) then an interview with the Foreign minister (Bluhme), which lasted half an hour. The result was that he was compelled to leave Copen- hagen instantly, and tuok his departure yesterday at two o'clock by the steamer Schleswig, to. return to London, via Kiel and Hamburg. You may think this incredible and inexplicable, but it is true, and quite natural. Barro Harring tcok part in the Polish rising of 1830. ‘This ia aufficient. Therefore was he expelled from Nor- way some years back by the Russian Oscar, and there- fore is he now driven trom Danish ground by the Rus- sian Blubme. Russion reclamations have insisted on | this step, and Bluhme has obeyed. So much for law and freedom ‘under the present ministry! Mr. Bedinger will probably not let the matter end here. Lonpon, Monday, Dec. 4, 1854. Meeting of Parliament-- Anticipated Discussions on the Stipplies—Probable Policy of the Oppos® tion—Threatened Attack on the Ministry—The Duke of Newcastle as a War Minister —Proba- ble Resignation of Lord Aberdeen--Warlike Spirit of the Nation of Shopkeepers— Public Feeling in France—The Soulé Dificuity—Eng- lish Views of Know Nothingism. The announcement of the meeting ef Parliamen | for the 12th inetant has given an impulse to every clnbin Lendon. Lord Stanley—I beg his pardon, old habit makes me forget his accession to the pa- ternal dignity—the Earl of Derby, at the close of last session, predicted that ministers would find them, selves under the necessity of calling the representa. | tives of the nation together before Christmas; and it is understood that this conviction has restrained any of the oppesition--of which he is the recognized organ—from making the usual recess speeches, which generally serve as a clue to the policy it will adopt. It will be remembered that Lord Derby, towards the close of th» tat seseion, in his place in the House of Lords, cvvered one of his happiest | orations on the subject of supplies for the war, | and ridiculed, with a force of language which sunk deep into the minds of mem whose political ken | takes a loftier range than that of the multitude, the idea of carrying on a war of such intense | magnitude by such peddling shifts as had been sub+ mitted to Parliament by the Chancellor of the Ex- | chequer, Mr. Gladstone. Mr. Disraeli likewise, in | the House of Commons, fell foul of the same func- tionary for having no more exalted object in view than a trampery sum of three millions, in the face of such inevitable expenditare—a proceeding which induced Lord John Russell to claim, with his usual sneer, that the right honorable gentleman talked of three millions as if it were a simple half crown, a sofficient proof that he was no longer Chancellor of the Exchequer, ‘Well, if seems, this intended three millions has already been disposed ef in payment of transporte— the hire of some, aad the building of ethers, &c.; and now all sorts of wants fer the war are pressing, while there is not a shilling forthcoming. Thore is money wanted to enable the militia to replace the regulars ; there is money wanted to manufacture a wrought iron battery, which, under the superiatend- ence of Mr. Nasymith—the inventor of a mighty steam hammer—is to produce cannoa flinging balls of auth weight that Sebastopel is to shrivel up like ® parchment scroll; there is money wanted for more sallers, more soldiers; and money wanted— Heaven the mark! to clothe and feed, and arm and the Turks, to say nothing ot what will be by the Emperor of the French, whose subjects have such a strange, perverse mis- giving they are only fighting our battle for us. Every see public men arid hear all sorts of gos- sip, as it @its through library or billiard or smoking room, am@ one would think—at least » stranger would—that the war had left for a while the Crimea, to plant ite plots, its councilsand its strategyagainst the new:palace of Westminster, se ardent, grave, and the discussions, se dashing and bril- Viant the various resources Or the twe great parties which divide the land, As yet, of course, much is chaos of what is called ulterior projects on the side of the opposition. But it is believed that this party will commence the en- suing seasion considerabiy reinforced by the events which have occurred during the recess. It has al! slong been known to be favorable to the principle of imposing a large part of the burden of this war on posterity—in other words, of a loan—and at once increasing the funded debt by five-and twenty millions placed in the hands of a Ministry in whom the country should have confidence--that is, themselves. It is, therefore, supposed that Mr. Disraeli will resist any proposition to increase the income tax, that he will throw cold water on any scheme of terminable annuities, and generally ap- peal tothe monetary interest, who have through- out been stumbling-blocks in Mr. Gladstone’s way, and to those large masses who are always ready to give an ear to any proposals which pro- mise the gratification of a new passion unchecked by any immediate sacrifice of the breeches pocket. The honorable gentleman, ever piquant in personal matters, will have glorious sporting ground before him, in the blunders which have beem com- mitted in the progress of the war. He will point with mournful eloquence to vacant parliamentary benches—to noble herees bereaved of their goodly scions—to venerable heroes pitilesaly left to their fate—to the flower of the British army sacrificed— to a navy half manned—to the wounded left to tin- ger and die unheeded—to a commissariat so gross- ly mismanaged that the bleaching bones of Eng- land’s youth will tell of it for future ages—and while congratulating the ministry on the safety valve they have found in the immortal valor of our heroic sol- diery, he will fling at their head every real or de- served mishap ot the great enterprise they have had the to tamper with, without the soul to csrry to a triumphant issue. And then will doubtless come the ministerial mauling in detail after this atteck in Hadstone’s abortive financial schemes.

It hails with a rise the devotedness of those great lords, who quit their estates, their luxury, their castles and their clubs, to maintain intact the fortune and the star of Great Britain.

The Emperor may call this his sun of Austerlitz; for after days of incessant wind, sleet and snow, the sun is now high over head, beaming its cheering rays over a city whose inhabitants so dearly prize ite genial influence, that it has but to shine, and every door and window flies open to welcome it, while all the people rush abroad to gladden in its Bght. This is the third anniversary of that famous coup d'etat from which so many results have flown, andre stillin embryo. It seems but yesterday when the deed was done, and Paris looked on in stupified amazement. I saw, on that day, Napoleon ride through the large masses of cavalry which, lining the great avenue of the Champs Elysees, were drawn up to receive him. His flushed cheek and fevered eye were witnesses of the fiery commotion which burned within that silent soul; and, as boldly and right martially he galloped up the lines, I saw, too, in my mind’s eye, some of those tracks of blood which are since visible on the map of Larope. & PRICE TWO CENTS. Lora Palmerston was ‘be first to applaud the deed, and thereby loss his place. And om Monday last, within four short days of this anniversary, Lort Palmersten—the hope of England, aad once mere in powerfal place—was witness to a similar scone i= the Champs Elysees. But how changed the circem- stances. Then the burning volcano wae limited to the breast ef him who had taken alike hts pledged oath and public opinion by the beard, and flinging himself on the magic charm of his name, had pe fiery element is everywhere but H is in flames, while he—calm as 8 philosop,er in his stadio—paces his war-horse threugh the ranks ef that splendid Imperial Guard which, in richmess ef caparison, in splendor of mount, in brilliancy of éia- cipline, is unequalled in Europe—and is the wiek of his own hand. From his palace windows theege of his beautiful Empress watches the chivalrous we- Fay, and Napoleon the adventurer—the oath breakwr —the gentlest, but most resolute of despots, he’ strides his handsome charger, and receives the salu- tations of his legions like some hereditary prinse, the elected of God, and the ordained controller of his creatures, Verily romsnce ia bereft of Ite wand in proseses of the realities of the latter half of the nineteenth century. Events, too, thicken upon us, and the polition cauldron rises to bubbling heat. Troops are daily - pouring down to Marseilles to be transported to the Crimea—that swamp of human blood. The latest advices are dated the 17th November, and the boilii- gerents were resting on their arms. Nothing ha@ occurred since the bloody day of the fifth, i¢ we do not except the battle which the modem Armada has had to encounter on the 14th alt., wit: the elements, and which in material loss is perhaps equivalent to another Inkermapn. Thirty-two Eag. glish transports wrecked in one night, with what loss of life does not yet appear—each transpost averaging a price of £5,000. The Prince, which cost £105,000 but a few months since, foundered, aa well as the Sea Nymph, with all on board. In cluding all casualties, the estimated loss is some half million of pounds sterling. The Sansparei, the worst sailer and steamer of the fleet, but a most costly vessel, went ashore. Admiral Dundas was nearly swamped in the Britannia, the flag ship, of 120 guns. The Sampson was damaged. The Roetri- bution saved herself by the loss of her guus. And on the French side we have the loss of the Quatre and the Pluto, both ships of the line. Prince was laden with gunpowder, shot and and medical stores—her cargo worth £50, om least—all gone to the bottom of the Euxine. The English have, to a certain extent, been more forta- nate than the French, in that they did not lose ang of their ships-of-war; but the hapless Tarks seem HTT ‘The gloomy aspect of affairs has sank so deep inte the public mind that the Emperor has been com” pelled to put a brighter face on things, and, instead of abiding at Bt.
