No man can assume the appearance of amiability better than the CZAR, whenever it may suit his purpose so to do. He thoroughly understands the art of cajolery, and can wheedle men of all ranks and positions—from the "Angel of Peace" to a member of the Peace Society, or a German Grand Duke to a democratic Yankee slave-owner. He knows the effect of a word of praise distributed in due season, and does not spare his approval, nor, we believe, other no less potent influences, when he has any object to achieve. The Grand Dukes of Meeklenburgh-Strelitz and Mecklenburgh-Schwerin are at present the subjects of enthusiastic laudation on account of "their noble attitude"—evinced through their representative, M. D'OERTZEN-at the Germanic Diet. This " noble attitude" was one of complete isolation. It was striving to impress on the Diet the policy of abstention, SO that the AUTOCRAT might act as he thought proper, without any danger of producing collective'action on the part of Germany. This is what he has been striv ing to inculcate on every other nation—what he endeavoured to impress on the Western Powers, on Austria, and others. All he wanted was to deal with the Turks first—to be permitted to establish himself at Constantinople in the first instance, and then to dispose of the other Powers in detail. The Western Nations, however, did not per ceive the "nobility" of such an "attitude." They did not appreciate the benefit of being " the last" to be devoured. Nor could they remain quiescent during the intended triumph of might over right—the unconscientkuis absorption of the territories of an independent Sovereign into the overgrown dominions of the would-be Dictator of Europe—the master of the world, if he could get at America—to subjugatt) those whom he now flatters to the top of their be Int. . Austria, too, has, it appears, excited his wrath by her accession to the treaty of the 2d December, which was apparently just known at St. Peters burg at the time, and was possibly the cause of this laudatory proclamation. lt would signify little how greatly he exalted his creatures and relatives —both being completely under his thumb, and the son of one of these puppets being married to his' own daughter. But these compliments have an ulterior motive—the shaft is intended to reach a little further than the mark at which it is ap parently aimed. - There is a covert blow against Austria when he speaks of " the complications which the Cabinet of Vien.ria labours more and more to accumulate." Tilers is also,. bably the chief subject of the letter, a hint to " Cliequot" to behave himself, in which case he might also receive the coveted distinction of the Imperial praise. It also shows the duplicity and insincerity of the CZAR in affecting a readiness to conclude a peace on the teems demanded by the Allies. If such were his real intention he would not at the moment have put forward such a manifesto. The two Grand Dukes would have been satisfied with his thanks at a later period, er in another form. But he could not, in such case, have insinuated that Germanic interference might " force out of the existing war a struggle that shall involve the whole of Europe." It is well that our Ministers and diplomatists should understand this proclamation in its true light, so as to avoid the deceptive language that may probably be indulged in at the Conferences in Vienna, to which Prussia so urgently seeks admission. The representatives of the kingdom meet on Tuesday, and therefore the select of Manchester met last Friday. It is their settled practice now, a habit contracted in the thriving days of the League, to apprise the country and the Ministry of Manchester politics just in time for the coming sessions. Mr. MILNEB. GIBSON was the lion of the meeting, not only as senior member, but as being a fresh speaker; his fellow-member and Mr. COBDEN, the Manchester nominee for the West Riding, having already fully expressed their views. This time there was no row. The ad mission was by ticket, and the meeting seemed disposed to applaud the leading speakers. Mr. GIBSON is, of . course, a politician of much wider range of view than the great Leaguers ; yet it was evident that he was not a little influenced by the company in which he found himself. On the great question of the day he did not rise above a Rus- SELL interpretation of the Four Points. Mr. GIBSON first briefly confessed the Parliamen tart' sins of last session. They were sins of omission. Amongst these he did not number the dropping of the Reform Bill—that he considered wise. But theydid not pass a Bribery Bill without depriving it of all its efficacy, they did not pass a Jewish Emancipation Bill, they left London with but three members, they refused the ballot, refused to abolish church rates and ecclesiastical courts, they spent their time in not-doing; indeed as Mr. G. expresses it, the " session was an abortion." One promise he gave for next session, that the Newspaper Stamp Duty is to be abolished, and those of our readers who do not need the services of the post for their newspaper, are not to pay for them. If Mr. G. speaks from knowledge, this may account for certain terrific onslaughts on the Cabinet by a journal which not long ago treated them as the SOLOXONS of the day, though now apparently anxious to annihilate them before the budget is announced. The war, however, was of necessity the grand topi c . The best the speaker could say for his peace-at-a n y- pr i ce colleagues was, that even Lora ParareasTorr was credibly reported to have em ployed paid agency to pre English poli c y through .thepress of sam th e e v U iew ni s te o d f ad the States and that of France and Italy. If one was guilty of luring Russia into the Principalities, by publishing the aversion of England to war, so was the other. Perhaps the WIKOFF agency may be the subject of a Parliamentary question to the Home Secretary. Whatever answer ho gives it will have no bearing on the merits of the case. More to the purpose was Mr. GIBSON'S attack on the "balance of power" theory ; it involved, ho considered, two fallacies—first, that particular territories should be g overned to all time by par ticular dynasties, without regard to the wishes of the people ; secondly, that by informing a power THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 22, like Turkey that you would help him whenever he got into trouble, you relieved him from the only proper means of strengthening his own king dom, and securing his independence, that is, a sound system of policy at home. Now it is certain that, cursed as our aristocratic Cabinet may be with the love of dynasties, Eng land has no affection for them. We believe that there is not a dynasty, except that of the SULTAN, East of the Rhine, which all England would not rejoice to see packed off to the Antipodes to- morrow ; not a village in the country where some one would not be found to pay for ringing the bells if Berlin, Vienna, Rome, Naples, 4.5 c., were clean swept of Hohenzollerns, Hapsburgs, Popes, and Bourbons for ever. Even our Cabinet is compelled to ally itself with a novas home in the Imperial sense. The balance of power now contended for by the nations of France and Eng land is that which is threatened by the barbarian Tartar dynasty ; there is not a people of Europe which has spirit enough to sigh for liberty, that does not pray for the success of the Allies. All " the suppressed nationalities " feel that Russia is the great suppressor, and the right arm of other suppressors. Assuredly it is not in accordance with the wishes of all peoples that the ROMANOFF dynasty should drag Turkey into his own scale. In regard to preventing the SULTAN'S relying on social reform for increased strength, admitting the general correctness of Mr. GIBSON'S principle, yet the fact is that the SULTAN and the best of Tur key's leaders are earnestly desirous to strengthen the kingdom in this very way, that they have made great advances, that those advances are the object of loathing and dread at St. Petersburg, and that the SULTAN needs the support of generous treatment by civilised powers to enable him to counter-work the plots of Mussulman Tories and of degraded Greeks, egged on by the hypocritical tyrant of the North. Mr. GresoN, and in this Mr. COBDEN after wards concurred, seems to think that the terms of peace are so far settled and accepted by Russia that they are practically beyond recall ; and that even the capture of Sebastopol would have no effect upon them. We suppose him to mean that nothing would be rescued from the grasp of Russia even if we gained that city. Lord JOHN RUSSELL has given forth the dictum that Russia is to lose nothing, not a single acre of stolen territory. Oh 1 the age of petty statesmen ! Well, aristocracy and its pet despots may yet find that they have only delayed the inevitable explosion which will vindicate the rights of the long down-trodden. The hon. member is not distrustful of the sincerity of Russia. Nor are we. We believe her to beper fectly sincere in purposing to lie and cheat through thick and thin. She means to accept all that suits her of the Four Points, be it nothing, little, or much ; be it to gain a little time, or to ride over all England on the shoulders of Lord JoHN ausssix. Mr. G. is thankful Odessa was spared ; so should we have been if mercy to savages had not resulted in carnage to our troops. The men who planned the expedition to Sebastopol were madmen to leave the stores and military facilities of Odessa. On the whole, the Manchester meet ing will not do so much for peace as the Leeds meeting. It will rather tend to encourage the great disturber of the peace. It was, however, but a ticket meeting, and the leaders did not even there venture on a resolution. his felon hand one of his fellow-creatures was re morselessly dispatched, " unhouselled and iman nealed, no reckoning made, with all his imperfec tions on his head," to his dread account ; and if a second was permitted a brief hour of grace, BARTHELEMY was not to thank for it. The mur der was pitiless. Had escape been practicable at the cost of a dozen lives, there is every reason to believe he would have taken them. If hanging, therefore, for murder be right and politic, BAR THELEMY was rightly and properly hanged. We, however, have grave doubts as to the existence of the right, and are confident, if it do exist, of the impolicy of exercising it. We do not intend to enter en the Scriptural question. All we will say in relation to the alleged right of inflicting death is, that it seems inconsistent with the spirit of the Christian dispensation. In hanging a man for murder, are we not doing with him precisely what he did with his victim, and for doing which we punish him—that is, violently depriving him of life—a striking anomaly ! Homicide, the righteous avenger of murder ! Of the impolicy of the punishment of death we are thoroughly satisfied. It does not meet the exigency for which it is set apart. Society finds no safeguard in it from felonious violence or secret contrived mur der. The scaffold is a failure. Not only, however, does it not accomplish the end for which it was designed, but it also does much evil. It is a demo ralising spectacle, in that it tends to confound right and wrong in men's minds by misdirecting sympa thy and mitigating the reprobation with which the crime of murder should be regarded. Before con viction, the murderer is looked upon with horror ley all; after conviction, provided he gives signs of penitence, with dangerous sympathy by most. The brand of CAIN is forgotten—he is regarded by many solely as a fellow Christian, fit for, and about to be launched into a blissful eternity. He is more pitied than his victim, or than his crime is reprobated. It is demoralising, also. In the lesson of disregard for human life and physical suffering it teaches the uneducated masses. Veneration for a thing so sacred as human life cannot, surely, but be diminished by taking it with whatever circumstance as a punish ment. Far better, we submit, would it be to set the convict apart in confinement from his fellows, and there leave him, if penitent, to the stings of conscience, and if impenitent to the retributive justice of his MAKER. In the latter case, it seems horrible in mere mortals to hurry his unprepared soul before its Judge. The be lief, by the impulsive masses, that " the avenging sprite" in his lone cell points its accusing fingers at the convicted murderer by day and glares over his sleepless pillow by night throughout, it may be, a long course of years, would do more, in our opinion, to render murder repulsive, and to deter from its perpetration in the hour of tempta tion, than the present brief shameful exposure and physical agony. The gallows is Gut of date, and should be put aside. Although we cannot concur in the concluding Observations of our respected correspondent, we gladly give insertion to his vias, knowing that they are participated in by many excellent and well-disposed men. We feel that truth must ever be promoted by discussion—that the greater pub licity given to various opinions, the greater pro bability of sound conclusions being arrived at. We have not hesitated to declare that capital punishment cannot be altogether abolished. That there are cases in which society is bound to avenge the clea.th of any of its members, by the soleuiu execution of the wilful and deliberate murderer. This being so, we may rest on the admission that "if hanging for murder be right and politic, BARTHELEMY was rightly and properly hanged." The only difficulty in the case arose from the grave mistake of trying him for the murder of poor CAARLES COLLARD, in place of that of Mr. Moon; which would have brought all the facts to light., and opened every possible line of defence to the unfortunate criminal.

The Cortes in its sitting of to-day adopted a resolution of great importance, and on which it was expected that the Ministry would have been defeated. The Cortes have voted by a large ma jority the Government Bill, fixing at 25,000 the number of soldiers who are to be called out this year. A. private telegraphic despatch from Madrid, of the 2Uth instant, announces, that in the sitting of the 19th a vote of censure on the Ministry wa.:, proposed. After a speech by Espartero, the Cortes rejected the proposition by a majority of 138 against 62. DEATH OF THE QUEEN OF SARDINIA. We have received a telegraphic despatch from our correspondent at Turin, dated the 20th of January, announcing the death, on that evening, of Queens Marie Adelaide, wife of King Victor Emmanuel. The Que en was in her 33d year, having been born on the 3d of June, 1822. Her late Majesty was the d6iughter of the Archduke Rainer, of Austria. The last accounts from the Crimea state that General Canrobert had, in virtue of the power vested in him by the Emperor, promoted eiz captains to the rank of chefs de bataillon. Ac cording to. the usual custom observed at Constan tinople, the brevets of the decorations accorded by the Sultan to the French army have been inclosed in a bag of white satin. They have been delivered to M. Sclieffer, the first Dragoman of the French Embassy, who is to forward them to General Canrobert. The Pairie says, the passage of the Danube, effected sonde days since by the Russians, has given rise to a demand for explanations from Prince Goirtschakoff, on the part of the Austrian Government ; and that at the same time orders have been. sent to Count Coronini to prevent the Russians fl.om recommencing a campaign upon the Danube. A despatch in the _Patric, headed "The Dasube," arLd dated Kamenicez, Jan. 13, says —" The•staf f of the Ist Russian corps d'armee is at Moltan. Radetzky's regiment of Hussars has left for the Crimea. PIEDMONT AND PRUSSIA. %he, ravoltinty baseness of Prussia appears to have reached its maximum. There she stands, one moment holding up her coward hands begging the honour of admission to the Vienna Confe rences, the next letting them fall with unsparing cruelty upon Polish refugees from the relentless Russian conscription. She implores and entreats the Allies to let her in, if it be but up the back stairs, into the conference room, while at the same time she sends back the unfortunate Polish conscripts to the knout and to military exile in a Russian army. By the last accounts it appears that poor Polish peasants, labourers, between the ages of 18 and 25, fled into Prussia to escape the horrors of the CZAR'S service ; the brutal wretch of Berlin orders them to be arrested as deserters ! and delivered up to the Russian authorities. This is the Monarch who would place himself amongst the arbitrators ! A man who denies our luckless Cabinet a single Prussian for a soldier, but who takes care that RuSsia shall not lose a single re cruit if he can help it. It really serves the Ger manisers of Downing-street right ; they would not have Poles for their allies, they preferred any hazards and losses to it, and now Prussia joins to drag the poor unwilling Polish peasants into the army of the Czar, while she snubs the authors of the Foreign Enlistment Bill. Aberdeenism has its reward ; we should be glad of it, did it not involve our unfortunate army. Well, now, will they make up for it with Pied montese I Here is a noble little State emulating our political and ecclesiastical liberty ; growing in constitutional freedom, and putting the clergy into their proper place ; a State sympathising, therefore, with our antagonism to Russian despot ism and preponderance ;—she offers us 15,000 men, as many as we could have hoped, at the least to scrape together from all the continent. Will not this do for a Foreign Legion ? There it is ready for work ; drilled and officered, and will cost no more than the proposed mercenaries. Piedmont needs only the money ; why not, then, offer at once to take this contingent into our pay ? In mercy, and for economy's sake, let them be provided with every necessary and comfort, cost what it may. They might promptly contribute their part to the complete investment of Sebasto pol, or to cutting the Russian line of operations, or to defending the besiegers from molestation in their work. The wisdom of Parliament will soon be brought to bear on this and every question connected with the war. We only hope it will tolerate no onger the incapacity which has half ruined our own army, sought to replenish it by mercenaries, refused a Polish Legion, and does nothing with a Piedmontese one. [FROM A CORRESPONDENT.] Another saint in the Calendar of Newgate ! another star in the firmament of crime I Dull and leaden-eyed dawned the morning of this bitter winter's day when, from his guarded cell, a shiver ing wretch was led, in solemn procession, to a well-worn scaffold in front of the Old Bailey, and there, before ignorant and curious, or brutal thousands, had a rope put about his neck and was deliberately strangled like a soulless dog. It is now evening, and amid the bones of kindred felons he lies, in mere obstruction, a half frozen corpse. Why is this Justice, we will be told, has been done on a murderer—the claims of society have been vindicated. I s it so ? Let us think the matter over for a moment. Was BARTHELEMY guilty o f th e o ff ence for which he suffered? and, if so, was his life the sacrifice which ought to have been offered in ex piation 7 To the first question we must unhesi tatingly reply in the affirmative. There can be no doubt of his guilt. If ever desperado wickedly im brued his hands in human blood, BARTHELEMY did that If ever murderer deserved hanging he did. By THE LATE MR. MERLE. It is with sincere regret that we announce the death of Mr. Merle, the foreign editor of Galignani's Mes senger, which occurred on Friday morning at his house, in the Rue Chauveau Lagarde, Paris, after an illness of three or four days. He was the Nestor of English journalists in Paris. Many years ago he was editor of the Courier, and subsequently, we believe of other journals in London. He was also for a long while the London correspondent of the Journal des Debate. For more than a quarter of a century he has been attached to Galignani, and during the same period he was the Paris correspondent of the Globe. He was one of the very few men in the world who could speak and write the French and English languages equally well. He bad great conversational powers, an extraordinary memory, and a slued political judgment. His mini was a perfect museum of anecdote, and be was ever the best authority o n the subject of the " latest news " of the hour. His appearance in Galignani's little conver sation chamber was always the signal for a rush from the reading-room adjoining. There, surrounded by numerous friends of various nations, who put down their newspapers to listen to the result of his morning's reading, his fine Cieeronian countenance might be seen suffused with good humour, while for a few moments he playfully parried the eager questions addressed to him in various accents and languages. When silence was obtained he was wont in silvery tones and fluent speech to give a succinct, and invariably accurate, account of the most important intelligence arrived by the morning mails from different parts of the world, and to add his own opinion of the bearing of the new facts upon the political situation. He was as good a listener as a talker, always lending a candid ear to every suggestion, and treating opinions adverse to his own with good natured deference and respect. Mr. Merle was greatly esteemed by all who knew him, and his loss will be re gretted by a large circle of friends both in France and England. Among his personal friends were Lord Pal merston and General Sir De Lacy Evans, both of whom sought interviews with him when they were lately in Paris.—Daily Mir& CABINET COUNCIL. —A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday afternoon at the Foreign-office, Downing street. The ministers present were the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord John Russell, the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Lansdown e , the Duke of Argyll, the Earl of Claren don, Sir G eorge Grey, the Duke of Newcastle, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, Sir James Graham, Sir Charles Wood, Earl Granville, the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, and Sir William Molosworth. The Council sat three hours and a quarter. Lot d John Russell, Lord President of the Council, will give a dinner on Saturday next, the 27th inst., at his residence in Chesham-place, to the Cabinet Ministers and the great officers of state of the Queen's household for the purpose of settling the roll of sheriffs for England and Wales for the present year. The Marquis of Lansdowne arrived in town on Satur day morning from his scat, Bowood Park, Wilts. Lord John Russell left town on Saturday evening for Pembrol , e-ledze, Richmond-Park. The noble lord comes to town for the season to-day. Viscount Palmerston continues at Broadlands, near Roinsey, Hant s , an d WOO absent from the Cabinet Coun cils on Saturday and the previous day. The noble vis cpunt and viscountess are expected to arrive to-day at their residence in Piccadilly, from their country seat, where they have been entertaining a succession of vi sitors during the last three weeks.

The right hon. gen tleineman will co mmence his Parliamentary banquets on Saturday week. The Right Ron. M. T. Baines, M.P., arrived in town on Saturday, from Yorkshire. FRANCE. PARIS, F,iIINDAY.—The chief political news to day is that Prussia, who, notwithstanding her refusal to jo , in the Austrian Alliance with the Western Poi vers, pretended to have a right, as a great Europe an power, to participate in any con ference having for its object to modify treaties te which she wads a party, has made a protest against the validity of any resolutions which may be come to by the New conference about to be opened. at Vienna. The answer to this protest will, in all probability, be given by a French army on th , 2 Rhine beforo three months are over. The news from Germany affords small prognostics of peace. According to the Weimar Gazette, Count Nesselrode only authorised Prince Gorts chakoff to accept the four points in the sense attributed to them by the Russian Cabinet, and with very important modifications, especialy with regard to the third point, relative to the re vision of the ti eaty of 1841. Both the Presse and the Patric of t his evening sum up the latest news as being to the effect that tha Emperor of Russia is in no disposition to make serious concessions. The following; private telegraphic despatches are given in the Fr ench papers : TaiEsTE, 18t11.--According to news from Con stantinople of the Bth, General Canrobert has given orders to suspend, for a time, the despatch of further reinforcements, in order to avoid over crowding the camp. ATHENS, 12t11.—The Allies will shortly quit Greece, leaving only small detachments at the Pira3llF. We read in tho Moniteur The Emperor on the propositiort of the Minister of War and Marine, has ordered that all donations either in moiney or in kind for the troops in the East shall be devoted without distinction to the army and the fleet ; that the gifts in money shall be converted into article; according to the special designation of his Majesty • that all objects of consumption and othorti shall e :,:_< ~ I. ~.,,,. , „„,. , , . .., ,_ . .. 855 be sent, as soon as possible, to Marseilles to be de posited in a warehouse, be classified as much as possible according to their nature, and then sent to Constantinople, where the military intendent, specially appointed in that city, shall give or ders for their reception ; that the distributiun of the donations shall be made in the Crimea be tween the land and sea forces, according to an un derstanding come to between General Canrobert and Admiral Bruat ; and finally, that the articles intended for the use of the sick shall be divided among the hospital establishments at Constanti nople and in the Crimea." The Moniteur publishes two Imperial decrees, one ordering that alcohol distilled in Corsica from the daffodils, cactus fig, and other plants, shall be admitted free of duty on the French continent, under the formalities prescribed by the law of May 6, 1.841 ; and the other, fixing the import duties on certain articles as follows :—Juniper berries, daffodil bulbs, and cactus figs, by French vessels and by land, free ; by foreign vessels if. 10c. the 100 kilogrammes (the present duty).—Table fruit, other than those mentioned in the tariff—Exotic. By French vessels, free; by foreign vessels, 4f. the 100 kilog. Native—By French vessels, free ; by foreign vessels, 2f. the 100 kilog. By a decision of the Minister of Finance, the in terest on Treasury Bonds is fixed as follows from the 20th inst. :--3 per cent. per annum for bonds of from three to five months' date ; 31 per cent. for those of from six to eleven months ; and 4 per cent. for those of one year. The Emperor and the Empress were present last evening at the Vaudeville Theatre. Their Majes ties were most warmly greeted both at their entry and their departure. The Moniteur publishes a first list of the sums paid into the caisse of the Ministry of War in fa vour of the army of the East. It amounts to 264,222 f. 45c. BOURSE, JAN. 20.—CLOSING PRICES.

A letter from Bucharest of the 4th, in the Con stitutionnel, says : " Count Coronini left this morning very suddenly for Jassy. It is said that he will be absent about three weeks. SOme journals have spoken of pro scriptions which have been directed against a num ber of persons in the Wallachian Principality. There is much exaggeration in these accounts. The trutk is that two persons have been compelled to quit the country temporarily, Col. Salomon and an old Greak Consular agent at Kraiowa. The former car ried arms against the Turks during the campaign of last winter, and he is accused of having, at the head of a band of Cosacks, committed cruelties and exactions in Lesser Wallachia. The latter has been pointed out as an emissary Of. Russia, and it has been proved that he had always been in communication with the enemy. Omer Pacha had besides demanded the expulsion of the Logothete, Manuel Floresco, who, on tho demand of Prince Gortschakoff, had been delegated by the provisional administration for the service of the supplies to the Russian army, and who has just arrived hero after having fulfilled his mission. The Hospodar, how ever, showed himself less severe and eventually convinced Omer Pacha that only Floresco had yielded to the pressure of circumstances, and that it would be unjust to banish him. The Hospodar has recently, with the authorisation of Ale Porte, issued several decrees dismissing military and civil functionaries who had been appointed by the Rus sians. The Russians and Greeks who can furnish securities for their good conduct are perin'..tted to remain in the Principalities, but all foreigners, particularly those who formed part of the Rou man o-Grec o-Sclavonia,a legion have been expelled. Considerable reforms have been introduced into the quarantine regulations, by which more order will he established, and a considerable saving to the treasury effected. A Moldavian company has just farmed for five years the customs' duties of the Principalities for 200,000 ducats a-year." (The ducat is about 10f.) TITR,KTIY. We extract the following from the Journal de Constantinople of the Bth :—The great activity of Omer Pacha a,ild his experience in warlike opera tions cause it to be supposed that, towards the 25th or 30th of this month, the corps d'armee of 35,000 men will be disembarked in the Crimea with all the necessary artillery. On the other hand, Riza Pacha, Minister of War, displays the greatest zeal in preparing for the approaching departure of eleven thousand men, amongst whom is a magni-' ficent regiment of cuirassiers, sent by Said Pacha, Viceroy of Egypt, and of the troops of the province of Tunis who are still at Con stantinople. With these different forces and the Ottoman division of 12,000 men which is in the Crimea under the orders of Osman Pacha, Omer Pacha will towards the end of January be at the head of an army of 60,000 men. Letters from the Crimea also inform us that portable telegraph are established on all the points occupied by the allied armies, and that the English engineers are com mencing their operations at Balaklava for establish ing the railway to the camps. By these means all communications between the chiefs and the armies, and the points of disembarkation, will bo rapid, and that will be a great advantage for the opera tions. For some time past, eight Ottoman steamers, which compose the fleet to be commanded in the Black Sea by Ahmed Pacha, have not ceased to transport to Varna and Baltschick winter effects and provisions for the corps cl'armee of the Danube which is about to proceed to the Crimea. These equipments and supplies being terminated, Ahmed Pacha is to leave on Monday with two of those steamers for Samsoun, where he will give his orders ; and there the six other steamers are to join him. After receiving their coal, the steamers are to proceed to the Crimea under the command of Ahmed Pacha, whose conduct is worthy of all eulogium since the Ottoman squadron has operated in the Black Sea. RUSSIA. A letter from St. Petersburg, 9th, in the Con stitntionnel, says :—" The Czar received, just before the arrival of Prince Paskiewitsch, the in terpretation of the Four Points sent off by Prince GortschakoT, and Count Nesselrode immediately sent an order by telegraph to Prince Gortschakoff to enter on the discussion of the Four Points.' It must not, however, be imagined that from that circumstance they are accepted. Even supposing that negociations are possible, the discussion of the &tails is full of difficulties, and shculd even the representative of Russia at Vienna accept any stipulation, his Government would use no ceremony in repudiating, if it thought 'rho Minister, acting as fit, what he had done. Secretary of State of the .Kingdom of Poland, has just received orders to tran.stiait to the Government of the country a decree which extends the prohi bition of the export of rye, barley, oats, and pulse, to wheat, and all other alimentary sub . stances, the export of which to Austria had mained free up to this time. , 4 ,11 the sailors belonging to the flotilla of row-boa ts, which had been formed for the defence of the ."-oasts, have been ordered to hold themselves in readilness for the month of March. The Minister of Wa2.• has re ceived from the Grand Duchy of Finland reports announcing the complete success of the nev.v - bat talions of Chasseurs, the formation of which was prepared last year by the establishment of military schools at Abo, Carleby, and Helsingfors. In ad dition to these battalions of Chasseurs, four new ones are spoken of, which aro to be ready for se: • vice in the spring. Tno majority of them still use for their exercises muskets manufactured in Russia, but they are to be provided with Belgian carbines, similar to those furnished to the rifleman of the Imperial family." PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Jan. 19. —Lord Bloomfield had the honour of being received by the King on Wednes day, in private audience, for the purpose of deliver ingto his Majesty a letter in reply to that convoyed by M. d'Usedom to Queon Victoria. In the Second Chamber ton the 17th the Minister of Finance applied for permission to continue to levy an additional 25 per cent. on all inland taxa tion (for the purpose of meeting the interest on the 30,000,000 thalers voted last session for war purposes) up till April, 1856, and for powers to continue to draw on the not yet exhausted 30,000,000 during the present year. These applica tions were referred to a committee. On the report of the committee on the Budget being brought up the House passed the . first two items as recommended therein—viz., rand-tax, 10,084,182 thalers (1,512,6271.) with th e rider, " the House expects that the Government„ if pos-1 sible in the present, but at any rate in the next ensuing session, will bring in the law promised in the charter for the repeal of all exeinptiouts from land-tax" (this is an attack on many irrescriptive but invidious immunities from taxation enjoyed by theoldTorynobilithandwasasouchre pentedballerr R 0 I C °M , 11.57 The Russian Naval ill agazin minable list of honorary reeon3 Officers of the Russian navy conduct in defence of Finland p lovski, and above all, of Sebx are given of Prince Menschilo praise of individuals who have acts at the latter place—and thk The Magazine gives the fellow' published by Prince Menschik battle of Inkerman : " Bivouac (?) under the Sebastopol, N( " Our Lord and Emperor, whose with us, does net cease to address reign words to us.
