The division of Monday evening has virtually relieved the country from the incubus of an effete and incapable Government. So far it must be productive of the most beneficial results. But some thing more is required ! Who shall cleanse the Augean stables of the Horse Guards ? Who shall select the most efficient and experienced Generals to replace some of those who have proved themselves inadequate to the grave emergency in which they were placed 1 Who is there with sufficient moral courage to grapple with the Hydra-headed system, to abolish redtapism in one of its strongest holds—the Military department ? Until we find some one with courage to plan, and resolution and power to exeoute these important reformations, we can scarcely hope for a more vigorous aid efficient carrying on of the War—or an auspicious termination to the winter campaign in the Crimea. The mistakes of the Civil De partment at home may materially impair the General in command. But unless he be duly qualified for his position—unless he be com petent to discharge its important duties, in the most satisfactory manner no exer tions of the authorities at home can compen sate for what at least must be regarded as a de plorably defective arrangement. It is not our desire unnecessarily to assail any General or officer in her MAJESTY'S service. Nothing but an overwhelming sense of duty could induce us to direct public attention to the conduct of Lord RAGLAN for the purpose of exhi biting the important interrogatory—Has he proved himself qualified for the high office he holds ? Can we entrust the health and lives of our gal lant fellows to his uncontrolled management, or rather mismanagement ? These are painful in quiries ; but they must be answered. The va rious wounds must be probed in every part. We cannot afford, even if uninfluenced by any higher motives, to allow our brave defenders to perish at the rate of one hundred per diem from sheer mismanagement, to say nothing of the more ter rible mortality occasioned by the neglect of the most ordinary precautions. Lord RAGLAN (against whose personal bravery we would not utter a single word, who has the sturdy courage possessed by the vast majority of English officers, aye, and soldiers) may be looked on as a perfect illustration of the prevailing, and, we would add, obnoxious system. He had great experience as a General, not in the field, but in the closet. He made an excellent Military Secre tary, and would probably have made a very fair Commander-in-Chief, who would carry on matters smoothly according to the old jog -trot system. It did not, however, by any means follow that he world be highly distinguished in the field. Indeed his capacity for supreme com mand was a matter involved in the deepest mys tery. Ile cannot he said to have taken au autive part in any practical struggle since the battle of Waterloo, whero, as an Aide-de-camp to the Duke Of WELLINGTON, he proved himself to be an excel lent messenger, perfectly qualified to deliver the orders of the Chief, but giving no evidence of his capacity for framing such orders, or playing out the great game of war, in which ho was merely an humble instrument. Lord RAGLAN was, in fact, born to Staff ap pointments. He WAS the youngest, we believe the tenth, son of a Duke of immense possessions and corresponding influence. But, in order to maintain the dignity and weight of the elder brand), he was sent to fight his way in the world, so that while his fortunate brother was placed in the enjoyment of some eighty or a hundred thou sand per annum, he received a poor ton thousand pounds—sufficient, however, to purchase the various grades of promotion which family influ ence could not attain. The title of honour ITA's, however, not merely a feather in his cap. It conferred more sub stantial advantages. The young Nobleman who entered the army a raw boy of sixteen spe3dily was placed on the staff of the Commander-in- Chief (for the system was then analogous to that now in operation), and it is unnece3s try to say that promotion rapidly followed. It wa& with the pen, however, rather than the sword, by which lie shone. He was first Military Secretary, afterwards Secretary to the Embassy at Paris, Secretary to the Master-General of the Ordnance, and Secretary to several Commanders-in-Chief. Closely connected with the Duke of WELLINGTON by marriage he had great influence with that illustrious General, and for many years was vir tually Commander-in-Chief. We believe that he would have been far better qualified for the office of Commander-in-Chief than its present occupant—Lord HARDINGE-but that constitutes no reason why he should be transferred from duties for which he was fully qualified to others of still greater importame for which he was totally incompetent. The letting down the injured vanity of a Peer has been rather too dearly purchased by the sacrifice of some hundreds of British officers, and thousands, aye, tens of thousands, of British soldiers. There must, then, be a clean sweep at the Horse Guards, the Germanism whereof has become pro verbial. Lord HARDINGE has, in many- respects, occasioned deepdissatisfaction. There inust also be a radical change at the Crimea. The victories which have there been achieved may emphatically be termed "soldiers' triumphs." We conquered not by the skill of leaders, but by the determined and unshrinking valour of the men. The-Duke of CAMBRIDGE, who has just returned, has emphatically declared that "it has not been a war of Generalship," that " the campaign has been a soldiers', and nothing but a soldiers', cam paign." What further evidence can be required ? How can we doubt the deliberate statement of a witness in every respect so unimpeachable ? What ever Ministry may be formed, its first and most important duty will be to effect a complete change at the Horse Guards, and to select the best man that can be obtained for the supreme command in the Crimea. Oh for but three months of Sir CHARLES NAPIER. Ho would, indeed, redeem the character of the nation, and teach our Allies, as well as our opponents, to respect the skill of British generals as highly as the valour of British soldiers. We must patiently await the promised explaila,. Lions by the nominal head of the Government to morrow evening before the results of the present crisis can be known. It is quite clear that the doom of ABERDEEN and of many of his colleagues has been sealed. But nothing authentic is as yet known as to his successor—the pilot who is expected to weather the storm, and successfully extricate the vessel of the State, from the breakers into which she was thrown through the carelessness and incapacity of the party previously responsible. All that is known is, that ABERDEEN is unquestionably out, an announcement which has given the greatest satis faction to the people generally, with some rare exceptions—where a stray member of the Peace Society, untaught by experience, and still in dulging in delusions that the most homoeopathic dose of common sense would have dispelled, considered the " dear and excellent" Earl as the beau ideal of a statesman. That most important point being disposed of— the ABERDEEN incubus being completely shaken off—the next question arises, Who is to be his successor ? To whose care is the honour and safety of Great Britain to be confided in this crisis ? A few hours will solve the interesting problem. Our country subscribers will probably hear the result in this impression of our journal. But as yet nothing decided is known. All that can be given is at least nothing but gu'ess-work. Three persons are generally spoken of as the probable successors to the chief place in the Go vernment. The conflicting claims of the Earl of DERBY, of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and " last, though net least," of Viscount Palmerston, are earnestly canvassed. It seems to be admitted that any one of these noblemen might undertake the task, from which all others would shrink. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE has also been men tioned, but, however capable in other respects, his advanced years and increasing infirmities would preclude the Noble Marquis front aspiring to the honourable but onerous distinction. We cannot forget that he has already more than once declined the task of " forming a Ministry," and we cannot think that existing circumstances are such as to render a LANSDOWNE Government more probable than it was some time since. The other noblemen above alluded to are those wko may be regarded as the only real candidates for the important position. Ind we earnestly hope that the prize may be conferred. on " the most deserving," that no " German Peers" may influence a judgment that may prove very injuri ous to the country if too hastily or recklessly made. Lord DERBY would undoubtedly prove the real Simon Pure under ordinary circumstances. He is the recognised head of her MAJTST'YS Oppo sition—the leader who was displaced at the time that the Joint-Stock Administration obtained the seals of office. He is, therefore, naturally looked to as th• legitimate successor, and the chances in kis favour are by no means to be despised. We must, however, remember that the victory was chiefly that of the Liberals, and that but for the opposition of many Rus- CELLITES the division might not have proved so fatal to the continuance of the ABERDEEN Admi nistration. There are also many arguments in favour of Lord JOHN RI7SSELL. Although a member of the late Government, he was not responsible for the evils which so greatly • excited the public indignation. His protest and seces sion from the condemned party might be re garded as one of the chief causes of their over throw. His personal experience and vast influ ence with the House and country would give him additional weight in any nets combinations that may be formed. Still there are reasons why his selection at the present moment would be, to say the least of it, difficult and inexpedient. Next comes Lord PALMERSTON, a nobleman, perhaps, at this moment, more popu lar than any man, gentle, or simple in her MA JESTY'S dominions. There is, however, one great impediment to his appointment. He was one of the Ministry so unanimously and justly condemned by the voice of public opinion. Although every one feels that he is not responsible for the de plorable errors that have led to the over throw of the ABEILDEEN Government, it would be quite opposed to all precedent to suppose that he would be sent for in the first instance until there had been a failure by some other party to meet the exigencies of the position. There is, therefore, a difficulty as to any one of these singly. But why should they not com bine ?—why should they not forget 'minor diffe rences for the purpose of carrying their coun try triumphantly through her present perils ? The War is the great matter to be con- Sidered. On that, DERBY, and RUSSELL, and PALMERSTON can meet on equal grounds, and why may they not give the nation the benefit of their combined energy, experience, and power. That would, indeed, be a coalition that would be hailed with delight by every unprejudiced and independent man in the United Kingdom. MIN ISTERIAL MOVEMENTS (THIS DAY.) Many rumours are afloat this morning relative to the Ministerial crisis, and it is difficult to de termine which is worthy of the most credence. As far, however, as we can collect from the most diligent inquiry, we gather that the Earl of Aberdeen proceeded to Windsor yesterday, and tendered the resignation of the Government, ad vising her Majesty to send for Lord Derby. Accordingly her Majesty forthwith issued her Royal command for the attendance upon her of the Noble Earl, at Buckingham. Palace, this morn ing, at half-past eleven o'clock. Her Majesty and the Prince Albert came to town this morning at an early hour, and gave an audience to the Earl of Derby at the hoar above named, which lasted upwards of an hour. Lord Derby afterwards had an interview with Lord Palmerston. Lord Lansdowne, who, it was rumoured, would in all probability be sent for by her Majesty, did not leave Lansdowne House this morning. Lord John Russell also remained within doors at Chesham-place. The Earl of Derby this afternoon has had in terviews with Mr. Disraeli, the Earl of Ellen borough, Sir John Pakington, and several other of his principal political supporters. It would be quite useless to give currency to the many statements which have been. rife since last night ; but the foregoing is all that can be in any degree authenticated. LOCAL BOARDS OF lIIALTH.—Sir B. Hall, M.P. for Marylebone, moved for a return, shortly before Christ mas, from all local boards of health of such sums of money expended in and about, and preliminary and in cidental to, the application of the Public Health Act, or charged or owing in respect thereof, &c. The return has been made, and was on Saturday published by order of the House of Commons. Taking a few places by way of specimen, it will be found that the preliminary expense of applying the said act in certain localities was as fol lows, viz.: In Durham, 811. ; Leicester, 1551. ; Bristol, 269/.; Cardiff, 1541.; Gloucester, 188/.; Chatham, 97/. ; Tynemouth, 54/. ; Wolverhampton, 232/. ; Croydon, 1191.; Ely, 991.; Carlisle, 2081. ; Chelmsford, 1041. ; Rugby, 105/. ; Merthyr-Tydvil, 230/. ; Sandgate, 135/. ; Fhreham, 1071.; Southampton, 1601.; Tottenham, 66/. ; Worcester, 1541.; Bridgaorth, 251/.; Aylesbury, 1241. ; York, 1361.; Epsom, 1321. ; Do►er, 154/.; Bangor, 1,1811. These sums, it should be understood, only in clude the preliminary expenses. In many places the consent of the General Board of Health has been ob tained for the raising of large sums of money, on mort gage of the rates, or •therwise, for the purpose of thoroughly carrying out the sanitary improvements con eiclered necessary. These sums vary from 1,0001. t 6 55,000/. ARRIVAL OF TIIE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE. Yesterday, his Royal Highness the Duk Cambridge disembarked at Dover from the Princess Alice steam packet, which bad been despatched to Calais, expressly to convoy the noble and gallant duke to these shores. A guard of honour of the Staffordshire Militia, under the command of Major Inge, was in attendance. On the arrival, of the Princess Alice at the place of landing, Captain Herrick, Colonel Streatfield, Colonel Cator, Msjor Inge, the Mayor, and some of the mem bers of the Corporation, proceeded on board, and shortly afterwards his royal highness appeared upon the deck. The interchange of civilities between his royal highness and the gentlemen assembled was the signal for a shout from the multitude who had now congregated, and amid vociferous cheers, the booming of the royal salute from the Drop Regoulet, and the strains of military music, the gallant and royal duke set foot again upon the soil of England. A post carrriage bad been provided to convey his Royal Highness to Birmingham's Ship Hotel, but it was not brought into requisition, and his Royal High ness proceeded on foot towards that establishment, ac companied by the Mayoi and the other authorities, and followed by a large crowd of persons, who continued cheering till his Royal Highness had arrived at the steps of the hotel. The Duke of Cambridge was accompanied by the fol lowing members of his staff : the Hon. Colonel Mac donald and Colonel Tyrweitt ; and Dr. Gibson (his Royal Highness's physician), was also in attendance upon his Royal Highness. The Duke havini been ushered into one of the State apartments of the Ship Hotel, the Mayor and Corpora tion, accompanied by some of the leading residents of the town, proceeded thither for the purpose of offering his Royal Highness an address congratulatory of his return to England. They were very courteously re ceived by the gallant Duke, and the Town Clerk — T. B. Sass, Esq.—then proceeded to read the fol lowing : " May it please your Royal Highness—We, the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of Dover, hasten to tes tify our unfeigned gratification at the safe return of your ReyalHighness to your native country, after the arduous and dangerous service in which your Royal Highness has so much distinguished yourself in the Crimea. Deeply regretting the cause which has for a time de prived her Majesty of your Royal Highness's presence in the field, we earnestly pray that it may please Almighty God that you may soon be restored to health, so that our beloved Queen and country may again enjoy the ad vantage of the valuable services of your Royal Highness, and that our soldiers al ay be emulated by your brave aid glorious example." The address was followed by loud cheering, at the conclusion of which, His Royal Highness replied to the following effect : "Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen—l thank you for the gratification you have rendered ate is presenting me with the present address. I assure you that any in convenience or discomfort which I have experienced in tie Crimea has been amply repaid by the bravery of the troops. All a general can do is to lead ; and my humble services have been given cheerfully ; but it has not been a war of generalship—the campaign has been a soldiers' and nothing but a soldiers' campaign. Led on as they have been by theirindoneitable courage, these troops have performed prodigies of valour ; and I can assure you a finer set of follows do not exist in the world than the men who are fighting the battles of Britain in the Crimea, and who have done everything in their power to sustain the honour of their country. Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, I again thank you." (Loud cheers.) The deputation then withdrew. After partaking of a cold collation, his Royal Highness left for London by the two p.m. train of the South-Eastern Railway. His Royal Highness was accompanied to the railway station by the officials who received him on landing. Mr. Way, the superintendent of the station, received his Royal Highness and staff with every possible attention, and the train left Dover amid loud cheers. LORD RAGLAN AND JILS ANCESTR,Y. Lord Raglan is a descendant of the proud Somersets, himself one of the most quiet and modest of the true working men of England. A. prouder lineage few men could be conscious of than the Somersets and Seymours, who were of the same. stock ; and a prouder roan was never seen in England than the Duke of Somerset of two centuries ago, who had the highways cleared before him, that he might not be looked upon by vulgar eyes, and who rebuked his second wife for tapping his shoulder with her fan, saying, "Madam, my first wife was a Percy, and she never took such a liberty." We may go back at once to Cardillo:. Beaufort, who was of the first generation of the family apart from royalty, being the na tural son of John of Gaunt. There is a better ground of pride in the family than even antiquity. Among the proud Somersets was he who, in early life, commanded a little army, raised by his father for the service of Charles 1., and who, in after years, invented the steam-engine. He was the author of the " Century of Inventions," who first applied the condensation of steam to a practical purpose, though his invention was used for raising water. He was the last noble who held out in his castle against Cromwell ; and the stronghold was the Raglan Castle which gave his title to the Field-Marshal who commands our army in the Crimea.—lpswich Express. aaußr CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, JAN 30. There wan no addition to the royal dinner party yes terday. The Queen and Prince walked in the grousds adjoin ing the Castle today. The Marchioness of Ely has succeeded the Duchess of Wellington as the Lady in Waiting. Lord Waterpark and Major-General Berkeley Drum mond have succeeded Lord Rivers and Mr. J. R. Ormsby Gore as the Lord and Groom in Waiting. The Earl of Aberdeen arrived this afternoon, had an audience of her Majesty, and afterwards returned to London. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge arrived at his residence in St. James's Palace about half-past 6 o'clock last evening from Dover. The Earl of Aterdeen left town after the Cabinet Council for Windsor Castle to have an audience of the Queen. The noble earl returned to town soon after six o'clock last evening. THE BOOT OF THE EVIL. The people, we are glad to perceive, are at length be ginning to comprehend the secret causes of all that is wrong both is the Cabinet and the Army—in Downing street and the Crimea. They vtill understand it better before long. It is right the country should know, as we remarked the other day, by what, or whose instru mentality, a person so notoriously imbecile as Lord Aber deen was ever appointed to the Premiership, and by what, or whose instrumentality, he was kept in office in defiance of the universally expressed desire of the country to have him removed. When these questions are answered, we can be at no loss to comprehend the secret of the Duke of Newcastle in being continued Minister at War, net only in utter disregard of the earnest remonstrances of Lord John Russell, and the well-known opinions of the rest of the Cabinet, but in downright and daring defiance of the strongly-expressed feelings of the nation. And so with regard to the Horse Guards, the army generally, and the state of matters in the Crimea. It will, by-and-by, be seen what is the root of the evil, or rather of the innumerable evils, of which the country has for mouths past been complaining in such dolorous accents.—Morning Advertiser. THE HORSE GUARDS. We do not speak without book when we say, that a motion will be made before long in the House of Com mons for an inquiry into the way in which matters are managed at the Horse Guards. We are sufficiently con versant with the state of affairs in that department of the public service to, be able to assure our readers that some very extraordinary disclosures will be the result of the contemplated inquiry, should the committee which will be appointed be one which will not shrink from the performance of their duty. It will be proved beyond all controversy that Lord Hardinge, the Commander in -Chief, is a mere puppet, moved by others, without having even the semblance of A will or a way of his own.—Morning -Advertiser. PROBABLM .RECAL OF. LORD RAGLAN. We Can state with confidence that, should Lord Pal merston be appointed either to the Premiership or to the Ministry at War—and there can be no doubt that, before many days have elapsed, he will be installed in either of the two offices—one of the very first of his acts will be to recal Lord Raglan. There are, we may add, in the possession of the Government, proofs of the most conclusive kind of the urgent necessity for the adoption of such a step. Should the contemplated inquiry into the state of affairs in the Crimea take place, it will be made manifest that no charge of a graver nature can be substantiated against the late Cabinet than that they did not recal the Commander-in -Chief long ago.—Morn . tng Advertiser. THE LOAD CHANCELLORSHIP. It may be stated as a fact beyond dispute, that in the event of Lord Palmerston being appointed to the office of Premier, Sir Richard Bethell, M.P., will be raised to the Lord Chancellorship. This promotion, should it occur, will occasion a vacancy in the representation of Aylesbury.—Morning Advertiser. The resignation of Lord J.hn Russell has createi a painful impression in Vienna. A large body of artillery and engineers passed through Paris yesterday en their way to Marseilles, where they will embark for the Crimea. It is rumoured in Berlin that an intention exists of mobilizing one or more corps in Silesia, on distinct Prussian grounds and Prussia's quality as a great Euro pean Power. What benefit is to arise therefrom to self dignity or special policy is not apparent. Pawn op GOLD.— The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par (according to the last tariff), which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for stand• and gold, gives an exchange of 25 . 17 ; and, the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 . 07 i 4, it follows that gold is about 0 . 28 per cent. dearer in Paris than in Lon don. By advises from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3i 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.38 ; and, the exchange at Hamburg on London at short being 13.4, it follows that gold is o'o6 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. LATEST NEWS. RESIGNATION OF OMER PASHA.. BUCHA.REST, JAN. 29. The Russians have received considerable rein- forcements. Omer Pacha has tendered his resignation, in consequence of the refusal of Ismail Pacha to obey his instructions in Roumelia. The .1' rase contains intelligence from Odessa to the 21st January. It was kno - wn that a strict blockade of all Russian ports in the Euxine and the Sea of Azoff, excepting Eupatoria, Streletzka, Kamiesh, Kasatch, and Bataklava, would com mence on the 13th February. At Eupatoria the Allies have captured several housand sheep. BERLIN, TUESDAY, JAN. 30. A despatch from St. Petersburg, dated the 30th of January, announces that Prince Menschikoff had sent the following despatch to his Govern- ment : g SEBA OTOPOL, Jan. 22. " On the night between the 19th mad 20th we made a successful sortie against the left flank and against the trenches of the French. " The enemy suffered considerably. "We tonic two officers and some soldiers prl- , soners. " Being in want of firewood, the Allies have not even respected the old church at Chersonesus, but have stripped the roof and cupola, and taken away all the ornamexte from the interior." Advices have been received from Sebastopol of as late date as the preceding, but through a more friendly channel, which make no mention of any extraordinary success gained by the Russians in their sorties. The arrangement announced on Monday by Mr. Gladstone, under which a French force was to take part of the right attack, so as to relieve our men, was in operation. The huts had not moved up to the camp, and their want was much felt. According to a Prussian despatch dated January 21, addressed to the Cabinets of London and of Paris, the Prussian Cabinet considers that the result of the last conferences at Vienna harmonises with the views of Prussia, but she is uninformed of the preceding deliberations. It regards the admission of a Prussian repre sentative to the Vienna conferences as indispen sable to Prussia's accession to the treaty. The former Vienna protocols entail obligations, but they also confer rights. VIENNA, JAN. 30. M. de Bruck is expected at Trieste to-day or to-morrow. Zarif Mustapha Pacha, late commander-in- Chief of the army in Asia, has been disgraced and put in prison. Fuad Effendi is named as the Turkish plonipo- tentiary for the conferences at Vienna. The first brigade of the 9th French division will remain at Constantinople. The proceed to Sebastopol. COPENHAGEN, JAN. 30. M. Lindsberg's proposal to employ only flol steiners and Lauenburgers in the contingent to the Germanic Federal Army, has been rejected in the Volksthing by a majority of 73 over 9 votes. A commission has been appointed to inspect the fortresses. The Turin correspondent of the Corriere Mer cantile of Genoa states that the Marquis Massimo d'Azeglio, or the Marquis Alfieri, will proceed to Vienna to represent Piedmont at the conferences expected to open there. The Journal de St. Petersbourg of Jan. 21 gives prominence to a letter treating of the hurricane in the Black Sea on the 14th of November. The writer says :--" The recital makes us tremble. One asks oneself, ' Among all the spectators or victims of such a catastrophe, is there no one who demands of his coiscience whether this may not be a terrible judgment from God ? Has one of the governments who have forced the war upon us reflected on this question. It is to be feared not. On the contrary, it seems to harden thoheart and exasperate the temper of our adversaries. We see this in the attempt to make a winter campaign iu the Crimea, a proof that the enemy neither fear the anger of God nor the new calamities which they are preparing to encounter." A Constantinople correspondent of the Frem den, Blatt says—The Turkish cavalry will not be sent to the Crimea till late in February. The same writer pretends to have learned that a cavalry corps of twenty thousand men, English, French, and Turks, is to be collected on the Bosphorus, and at the ports of the Bulgaria' coast; and that for the conveyance of this force to its destination 200 ships have been already hired. It is also calculated that by the end of March the Allies will have have 200,000 men in the field. The Militarische Zeitung says that two French divisions, under General Pelissier, are to join Omer Pacha ; and that Perekop is to be attacked, and, if possible, takes by the combined forces. General Marmora's force will land in the bay of Kaffa, under tk• protection •f the guns of a squadron of the Allied fleet, and will threaten the communications by way of the isthmus of Arabad. This Piedmont detachment will embark for its destination on the 28th of February, and will be reinforced by some Anglo-French troops. TREATY WITH SARDINIA. The following are the articles of the Military Con vention which the Piedmontese Government has concluded with France and England in consequence of its accession to the treaty of 10th April : "Art. 1. His Majesty the King of Sardinia will pro-, vide for the wants of the war a corps d'armce of 15,000 men, organised in five brigades, forming two divisions, and one reserve brigade, under the command of a Sar dinian General. " Art. 2. Immediately after the ratification of the present convention, measures shall be taken for the organization and administrative regulation of this corps that it may be ready to leave within as short a delay as possible. "Art. 3. In execution of the let Article of the pre ent convention, the corps crarmec of his Majesty the King of Sardinia will consist of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, in proportion to its effective force. "Art. 4. ilia Alejesty the King of Sardinia engage 4 himself to keep up the number of the expeditionary corps at 15,000 men by the regular and successive sending out of the necwssary reinforcements. "Art. 5. The Sardinian do;ernment will provide for the pay and subsistence of its troops. "The high contracting parties will concert measures to assure and facilitate the procuring of provisions for its stores. "Art. 6. Their Majesties the Emperor of the French and the Queen of the - United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland guarantee the integrity of the States of his Majesty the King of Sardinia, and engage themselves to defend them against any attack as long as the present war lasts. " Art. 7. The present convention shall be ratified, and :he ratifications exchanged at Turin as soon as possible," EUPATORIA. EUPATORIA, Jan. 10.—This place is now a mili tary point of the highest importance for the Allies. It is now well fortified, we can operate on the rear of the enemy, and proceed, in three different direc tions, towards Simpheropol, which is 60 kilometres diitant therefrom, to Bakshi-Serai, at a distance of 68 kilometres, or to Perekop, from which it is only separated by 104 kilometres. Those three points contain all the magazines and the reserves of the Russian army. Although protected of late by extensive works of defence, they are, nevertheless, vulnerable, and may be seriously menaced. Commander d'Osmont has pro tected Eupatoria against, a surprise, by an enceinte continue, by barricades and military posts stationed at the gates which were left open. The place is now in a perfect state of defence. On the gth December the first Turkish troops of Omer Pacha's army began to arrive. The movement has since continued, and to-day the first corps,,under the command of Mehemet-Ferik-Pacha, general of division, is quartered in the town, which, inde pendently of the 25,000 Tartar refugees, can shel ter 15,000 men and upwards of 1,200 horses. The remainder of the Ottoman army, which, it is said, will consist of 50,000 men, is to encamp outside the town, in very good positions. Our men. are now completing a number of closed and isolated re doubts on the line of hills above mentioned, and I may venture to say that Eupatoria will be one of the strongest and most useful towns to the Allies in the Crimea. 1 8 5 5.

Letters from Berlin, of the 27th, state that great irritation prevailed there against the Governmext of Vienna, and there had even been some question of sending his passports to the Austrian Ambassa dor. At the close of a Cabinet Council held on the 26th, two Prussian corps received orders to proceed with their mobilisation, but with a view - to watch Austria rather than Russia. Moreover, General Wedel, who left Berlin on the 17th, was to endea vour by all means to effect a good understanding with France. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, January 27.—German politics rarely deserve the particular attentiox of foreign readers, but a matter is now being discussed at Frankfort which cannot but have great influence on the so lution of the Eastern question. The information about to be communicated, will cortrinly be con firmed by your Berlin correspondent, as the Ger man Cabinets have laid aside their usual reserve, and loudly rail against Austria, as a Power which is on the point of bringing about a dissolution of the German Confederation. This ridiculous charge is founded on the fact of Austria having, on the 14th of January, addressed two notes to Baron Prokesck, her representative at Frank fort. One of the despatches was a circular ad dressed to the Austrian Envoys at the differ ent Courts. The other was a secret despatch, in which Baron Prokesck was instructed—should he not be able to secure a majority in the Select Com mittee of the Bund on the questions of the mo bilisation of the severaLenntievej-b+._ ~ ..-iinnanuer-in• (Auer of the Federal army—to treat with those German Governments which might, as independent States, be willing to enter into a separate alliance with Austria. Prus sia and the Bamberg Conference States question the right of the Imperial Government to act thus, but th© articles of Confederation, which refer to the case in point, will now be quoted, so that the non- German world may have an opportunity of judging of the merits of the question. Prussia and the Bambergers base their objections to the policy of Austria on the following passage which occurs in Art. 11 of the " General Resolutions" : "The members of the Confederation reserve to them selves the right of concluding alliances of every descrip tion, but still they pledge themselves not to enter into any connections which would militate against the security of the Bund or of the sepamts Federtl States." It is worthy of remark that the foregoing pas sage does not appear in the corresponding Art. 63 of the Vienna Congress Act, which was drawn up in the French language. The Imperial Govern ment is unmoved by the clamours of its factious Federal Allies, and is evidently resolved to act on the basis of Art. 42 of the Vienna " Final Act " of 1820, which runs as follows : "If the preliminary question as . to whether there is danger is decided by a majority in the negltive, those Federal States which are convinced of the z.nlity of danger shall still have the right to agree on mutual mea sures of defence among themselves." General Crawford, the now British Military Commissioier, arrived hero yesterday afternoon. General Cannon, who so much distinguished him self in Bulgaria, and more recently commanded the Turkish corps at Eupatoria, passed through Vienna a few days since on his way to London. A heavy domestic loss renders the presence of the General in England necessary, but as soon as the family ar rangements have been made he will return to his command. On the 22d Baron Prokesch made a motion in the Diet that half the contingents of the several Federal States he made mobile, and that a Com mazder-in-Chiof be elected ; but, as some of the members declared that they were not furnished with the necessary instructions the questions could not be put to the vote. ITALY. ROME, Jan. 20.—N0 fresh movement of troops has as yet taken place, and they still amount to about 8,000 men. The French authorities ap pear to object to the presence of the Pope's foreign legion in Rome, so that it will remain for the pre sent in the province of La Marca. The conspirators of the 15th August have been sent to the castle of Palliano to take their place amongst the ether political prisoners in confine meat there. PIEDMONT. "This morning," says the Genoa Mercantile Corriere, of the 26th, "the first column of the French troops, now marching through Piedmont, entered our city by the Pila Gate. It consisted of the first squadron of the 11th Regiment of Dra goons. The Ist Regiment of the Guards was drawn up on the left, close to the gate, along the street leading to the gate of the Arco. An immense crowd assembled on the passage of the French, who entered the Pila Gate on foot, holding their horses by the bridle. They, however, mounted them again on reaching the gate of the Arco, and took off their cloaks. The French colonel had on his right the general commanding the 'brigade of the Guards, and on his loft General Alexander della Marmora, followed by a numerous staff. The French were quartered in the great Provision Magazine." THE MEDITERRANEAN. MARSEILLES, Jan. 28.—The port of the Joliette, which a few days since was crowded with ships of war and large English steamers, is now compara tively empty. All those ships have sailed for the Crimea, laden with troops, stores, and munitions of war. From the number of soldiers embarked here for the East during the last three months, it is calculated that the French force before Sebas topol should amount to 100,000 men. Generals PeHasler, Rivet, and Desvilliers Bailed on Wed nesday.. General Pehssier landed here from Oran on the preceding Monday. He is of the middle size, with broad shoulders, a rather care worn countenance, and appears to be about GO years of age. He is remarkably neat in his dress, and expects his officers to imitate his example. He has passed the greater portion of his life in Algeria, and has earned there a reputation of ex traordinary energy. His friends say that his ap pointment to a command in the army in the Crimea was communicated to him by the Minister of War in the most flattering terms. He was told I that the a j: „ ,inan d, offered, to hiln ill not equal to his merits, but that by his acceptse ne . ° f 00 1 ) will have imposed an additional del! n ol country, of which the Government wil!ipii) forgetful.
