Mike Walch, and other trans- Aldantic Celebrities. The London Times, of Tuesday, gives the following aneodote, which will not fail to attract attention and in. terest in the United States. ‘Some time back, when Rus- sian prospects appeared far brighter than they now are, ‘&@ proposition was made to an Amerivan gentleman recent- ly in Paris, to enter the Russian service, with a high title, and position near the person of the Emperor. The re- ply was that too high an estimate was placed upon his talents, but that such as they were, they were due ex- elurively to his own country, and to republican princi- ples.”? This anecdote has been current latterly in diplo- matic circles in Paris. A title of nobility and the posi- tion of sid-e-camp to the Emperor of Russiu were offered to George Sumper, who made the foregoing reply. Whatever rympathies may exist either for the Allies or for the Russians, all must admire ite truly American sen- timent. None, however, who are familiar with the char- ter of George Sumner, and with the content patrintism with which, Curing his long residence in Europe, he has always and everywhere labored to defend American insti- tutions, will be surprised at this rejoinder. Dr. Turnipseed, of South Carolina, one of the young American surgeons who were prompted to enter the Rus- sian service by motives of humanity and an honorable ambition to profit by the extrao;diuary opportunities of professional experience offered by the Crimean campaign. reecvered almost miracuously from the typhus fever. which prostrated him in Sebastopol, at the same time as his lamented comrade, Draper. Sinve his return to Paris, Dr. T. bas been again prostrated by severe iline but Iam happy to add that he is now in a fair way to be restored to health. Lieut. Col. Tevis, a graduate at West Point, who recently served with high distinction in the Turkish army in Asia, where afier sharing with his Bashi- Pazouks “most disastrous chances,’ ‘ moving acci- dents,” and ‘‘bair-breadth ‘scapes,’ was almost fatally attacked by cholera, which left him tn such a state that he was obliges to seek recovery in Feauce, is still in Paris.

England, if you Tike it, said a gentle- man of the Foreign Office, in the boudoir of Madame Ja Mareschale,. isa mere military contingent in this but ber countenance alone is worth 200,000 men under arms; and if at this momont a severance of views between the French and English Cabinets should occur, 1 tremble to think of what must follow. France cannot make pesce on any terms short of the in- tense humiliation of Russia, which, of course, she will never copyent to. Any wish or expressed desire on England’s part to patch up peace at the present mo- ment would give her such heart of grace that she would find means to infuse all sorts of mischief between ua; and what consequences might result no man can pletare to himself without horror. But why, it was asked, are you disposed to suspect anything of the kind? The answer was, the English ministry is not stroug in debate—the English pride is burt at the figure its army sustains in the Urimea, The nati m must have recourse either to conscription, or to doable or treble pay, and in any case to immense increase of taxation 10 remedy the evil.

A very little, we know, too, is required toalarm England on the point that Sebastopol once taken from Russia every step forward in the war afterwards ia the uggrandisement of France. It wa+ suggested that the pikin comm.n sense of England could never admit or en- ter! che idea of a peace ‘hat should not be equivalent to the racrifices of the war. ‘We do not know,” was the reply; “‘knglish history is full of strange tergiversa- tions, and the French mind. a! most is peculiarly xuscep- tidle. From what I know of England myself Iam not dis- posed to atiach too much importance to the influence of the peace party, strengthened as it undoubtedly is by exirsordinary accessione.

' The funeral processions, the strains of Lead Mare, remiod us that war has not ceased, and that i! js mat long since we were in a terrible struggle with ao untlinching and desperate enemy Many of the wounded are, I grieve to say, ina very pre- carious way, but as there are most extraordinary caxes, where the surgeons utterly despaired, still goiog en fa- vorably, det uo one banish hope who basa friend or rela live to care for. Sometimes, Dut rarely, s slight w aud turns out futal, and the most dangerous wounds heal and the most exieasive injuries are not always deadly. It is certain that Lieutenaut-General Markhain is going home; his health is much impaired, and be teels no Longer equal to the duties of a divisional general. The extveme and unrelenting capldity with which he hastened ‘rom !ndia to the Crimea laid the seeds of dis- ease and suflering which the anxieties of comannd out, heve have developed, and he leaves amid the regrets of the army a @ on Which it was expected he would have been no second rate or inconsiderable actor. It there is any intention op tee part of the Command ers-in-ebief to make any use of the «hort autumnal, or se- cond summer, or whatever else the few weeks of fine wa‘her which precede the Crimean winter may ve called, it fs so close a secret that its execution will cause lively diwsatisfaction and great discomfort, ¢: ciully among the “ hutters ” and ‘‘the great outing interest.” Men have msde up their minds not only to rest, but to peace, and a real dom mot of the Duke of Newcastle, to the effect that there will be peace before Christmas, is in every ove’s mouth, Thi rumors in camp further that there is a shore amd simple letter from headquarters in Downing stecet, via electric ‘elegraph, to spare the docks of Sebastopol, and to leave the public buildiugs untoucaed.

There is a gun every minute from the north side or from the south and fair promise that the duel will last fur moaths to come at the present rate of exchange. Soigiog tron other scunds in the camp, it does not seem as if the discipline of the arwwy is improved by the cessation of trench duties or by the addition of 6d. a day to the avldiers’ pay.

Indeed, the drunkenness of Scutari Bulgaria, of Varna, or of Gallipoli, will be emulated, if the men have so much time and ‘money to dispose of. ‘The evil will cure itself, and the oolonels have the power of stopping the 6d, for seven days after the commission of ap act of drunkenness, in addition to the usual milita- y punishments for such offences. ‘The canteen should Ve put under more stringent regulations. There are no es of rioting and confusion at the French canteens as ay be seen at our own, and no one will aay that the dia- cipline of the French is as strict aa that of the English army.

Theae soldiers were ail reviewed and ‘on the occasion, and officers of rank, Englirh and French. were alike grati: fied by the di-ciplined alertness and efficiency of tnese neglected and ulmost uselea@ infantry. It is dificult to imagine that these Turks could not aid us mate- rially in driving the enemy from Sebartopol, it methened by an Engli-b division and two which could be well spared from this army at prevent, aided by all our cavalry, which are ‘now in very excellent condition, and ure never- theless, of no ei ey service at Kacikoi oP Baidar.

They could not make out a convey, or even & single tent, all along the coast and the adjacent country, which can be swept by the tele-cove for reveral miles inland. It would seem, inaeed, ay if th: Kussions did not use the Veresop rond to any great ex- tevt, or that their convoys made a detour towards the east in order to avoid any fying column from Eupatoria. Possibly they send most of their supplies down by the Yebongar road, and there ix every reason to believe that the Russians have established another route between Perekop and Tehongar for the purpose of advance or ro- treat.

[Vienna (Oct. 9) Correspondence of London Times.] My correspondence of the 5th contained a summary of the Austrian government in respect to the present staie of tne Eastern question; but I neglected to mention one point of considerable importance. In the let er alluded to it was said that Austria could not mediate between ally of the former; but it should have been added, that he Imperia government considered itself at liverty to cr mmunicate to the Western Powers any propositions for peme which Russie might make, althongh it could not unce: take to rec: mm them. Whenever there is litle cig in the diptemaiic world, people are greatly in lived to indulge in conjectural polities, and this °s par- tienlerly the case in Austria. When politicians by protersion speculate on the contingencies of the war, the word Poland sometimes excapes their lips, bit ever is a wirh expressed that the kingdom of that mane should be re-cops'itured. It strikes me that both Aus- ‘ria and russia would be well pleased to get back from Curia certsin parts of Poland which once bel is io to them, but neither England nor Frapce could me tule in such a matter. If the so-calied Duchy ot Warsaw, o: ‘he country extending in a straight line from the town ef Augustove down to the point at which the Big, (a Puli river of the name,) croases the Anstro-Gailician frontiers, were offered to Prussia and Austria as a rewari Sor their’ material assustance, is is very doubéf il whther hey would te atle to revist the temptation. Coant Buol, ss an experienced statesman, would in ail probability reject the bait, but the high militar party would certainly run great risks if it had the prospect ot sequiring btier frontlers towards Russia then it now has. @ influential Ultramontane party would also give its full support to any plan for severing komen Catholic Poland from schismatic Russia, A poli Tician of grea’ acumen, whe to-day «pake on the subject of the Lanubian Principaiiiea gave four good reasons why Austria ehould not desire to possess them, They were the following :-— €. The Aus rian frontier towards Russia is already wo fong. ax has very receutly been seen. +. As Austria is endeavoring to form the namerans inces inbabiting the empire into one g eat and civ illzed nation, she would materia'ly increase the difficul’y of her undertaking if she bad avything to de with Moldavia ant Wallachia, which are inhabited by Romanen, sclaves, Greeks and gypsies. %.

Ifthe Danubian Frincipalities belonged to Austria he would not always be obliged to keep a large army 1s hem in order to secure herself against any attack on the yart of Russia.

This rumor refers to au alleged matrimonial alliance between Prince Nap leon and a Princess of the royal family of England. ther there be any foundation for it I am onabdle to say, and only relate it as it is reported, The friends of the tape ed riv{ dynasty reason, it appears, in this manner:—‘ old prejudices which separated France and England have dieayppeared, like the smoke from the field of battle. ‘The glory won in common, the dangers shared by brothers in arms, the sentiments of esteem and affection cemented by tue generous blood which both have ahed in com- betting the same enemy, the reviatance have shown together for two yenrs not only to Russia, {o arms against them, batto the intrigues of Germany, which looks on and waits—sll concur in unt ing linking each day stronger and closer the two greatest mations of the ¢arth, and it would be rather with FRtmce that England should seek a matrimmial alliance than with Prussia, whose sympathies anil whose wishes are well known to be for Russia, and Russia alone.’ They add, that. Prince Napoleon is also of royal ‘nd is even con- nected with the royal family of England by his mother, the I rinvess Catherine of Wurtemberg. who herself was a da ghter of a Princess of Brunswick.
