We are credibly informed that Lord JOHN RUSSELL has tendered his resignation, but whethor it has been accepted by her MAJESTY will be known this evening in the House of Commons. Had Lard ABERDEEN resigned the country would hail the event with rapture ; but the re signation of Lord JOHN will be received with re gret, unless, indeed, that it must lead to the expul sion of the imbecile friend of Russia and "Ger- man i s m" from an office which he has rendered contemptible by an administration at once inju rious to the best interests of the country and the manly prosecution of the War. The EMPEROR and people of France may, as we have already stated, well feel proud of the ex traordinary and almost incredible success that attended the recent financial operation. It was indeed an unprecedented triumph. One reflect ing equal honour on the Qhosen Ruler—the man elevated to his exalted station by the free and unbiassed suffrages of eight millions of electors, delivered through the instrumentality of the " ballot"—and on those who responded to his earnest and exciting appeal. It displayed a mutual confidence and regard that might well astonish other Sovereigns whose power was based on fear rather than on love, and induce them to en►y their Imperial brother who was blessed with such subjects, while those under their authority might with no less reason envy the people who were blessed with such a Sovereign. It is with no ordinary pride and gratification that we refer to the fact that we were the first to appreciate the character and capacity of Lours NAPOLEON and that even when a candidate for the Presi dency, and while the object of scurrilous and in cessant attacks in other journals, we rendered him full justice, and expressed an implicit reliance on his energy, efficiency, and good faith to this country—confidence that has been so amply justified by his subsequent conduct. The unparalleled effort made by the French people will teach a bitter but salutary lesson to the AVTOCnAT. It will, if he possesses any common sense, convince him of the utter inutility of continuing a contest against a nation possessing such ample resources, and sa ready to devote their funds to the cause in which they had freely and willingly engaged. The voltattary subscriptions amounted in twelve day.; to nearly TWO MILLIARDS TWO HUNDRED MIL LIONS OF FRANCS, equivalent to EIGHTY-EIGHT MILLIORS OF POUNDS STERLING ! If neces sary, far more could have been obtained. At every spot where subscriptions could' be in scribed dense crowds struggled for the pri vilege of devoting their hoarded trAstanras t o the service of their Sovereign and their country. So earnest was the struggle that many were sent away repining because the opportunity was not permitted of placing their names on the patriotic rolls. We may, therefore, safely assume that if the desires of all had been gratified—if every person had been enabled to tender the means at his disposal, the enormous amount actually offered would have boon very materially augmented, and even a more striking result , exhibited. When we look to collateral circumstances our astonishment increases. It was not at a time when there was peculiar easiness in monetary circles when, to use the ordinary phrase, "money was a drug in the market"—when the cheapness and abundance of provisions, and the promise of an abundant and rapidly-approaching harvest, taught men that they might dispose of all their available resources in beneficial invest ments. Far from it. The first year of a great war had nearly come to a conclusion. All the serious sacrifices incidental to such a state of affairs had been endured by the people. Money, although by no means scarce, considering the cir cumstances, was yet not very abundant, and com manded a high rate of interest. The season, too, was inclement, is the depth of winter; provisions high—everything, in fact, combined to induce' persons of ordinary prudence to husband their means and keep their capital in readiness for any emergency ; and yet such was the force of events, such the boundless enthusiasm excited in the pub lic mind, that every man came forward, and France, a nation notoriously addicted to hoard ing, I forgot its ordinary instinct, and flung its treasures, we will not say " reck lessly," for such a word would ill express the brilliant operation, but with profuse and un hesitating liberality into the National Treasury. And for what purpose ? Not to erect the monument of peace—or in any reproductive un dertaking—which proati3ed speedily to return with handsome profits, the sums temporarily ab stracted from the pockets. No 1 Simply "to provide the means for carrying- on the War with renewed vigour 1" To prove the extent of the sacrifices which France was prepared to make in the cause of justice, honour, and good faith, — to convince the AUTOCRAT, and his abettors that 1 she was as lavish of her treasure as she had on many occasions been of the blood of her children ! Surely their journalists may, after such a demon stration, well exclaim, " There is security for the future against every eventuality." We would earnestly commend to the attentive consideration of our readers an article on the sub ject, extracted from the ilroniiel4r, which will be found in another part of our impression. The writer speaks proudly and triumphantly of " the great fact." But not too much so. It is difficult to find language to convey a due sense of the magnitude and importance of what has taken place. And while we deeply sympathise with the feelings that must almost oppress every French heart with an excess of joy and exultation, we readily endorse every expression and every senti ment of the writer in the Moniteur, as fully, aye, more than warranted, by the great occasion. iThe strike of the Cabbi es Will longb e remeni bered by every person who witu„,,ea the extra ordinary inconvenience arising from that extra ordinary occurrence. London suddenly fou n d itself without the means of transport, save in the lines traversed by the various omnibuses. Th e unfortunate pater familias arriving from a jour ney found himself left with his indignant spouse, %Tap ; to fin dweeping children, and abundant 1 such, our hi? way home as he best ould, while those who were the causes of his annoyance stood by jeering at and materially aggravating his misery. They took the law, such as it was, into their own hands. Though compelled, "if plying for hire," to accept specified fares and comply with certain regulations, there was no rule that compelled them to bring out their vehicles, or to render the services so urgently required and so handsomely remunerated by the public. A prompt remedy was speedily supplied, and we venture to say that there is no longer any prospect of " the isle being frighted from its propriety " by the general with drawal of the cabs from their accustomed stands. There is another class who are no less essential to public convenience, and who reap handsome profits for the services they render. London could not now do without its omnibuses; they are essential to the middle classes ; without them the daily business could not be got through ; men could net arrive in town to the discharge of their ordinary avocations, nor find their way back to to the domestic circle. Their aid is calculated on in estimating the time necessary for different du ties, the price of the accommodation being more than compensated by the time saved, so that persons to whom even every penny is an object find it worth their while to expend the last money in their possession in expediting their journeys. While, however, the Cabbies are strictly tied down. as to the fares they are bound to accept, the omnibus proprietors are comparatively un restricted. All that is required is that the fares should be distinctly specified, so that people may know what they have to pay, and not be left to the mercy of dishonest conduc tors. Under the existing regulations, if they choose to insist on one shilling, five shillings, or even a sovereign, as a fare from Charing-cross to the Bank, they may do so, provided it is dis tinctly painted up in a conspicuous part of the vehicle. There is nothing, in fact, but the gene ral competitien to limit the prices which their consciences may authorise them to demand. Many have acted fairly, but some, we re gret to say, have largely enhanced their fares at the present time. There might be some excuse for this if fair notice were given to all intending passengers before get ting into the vehicles. This, however, is not generally the case, and it is only when the pas senger is leaving the omnibus that he learns the increased demand, and finds the ordinary fare contumaciously rejected, in such a manner as an omnibus cad can only do. We would warn these parties that this cannot be persisted in, and that a very summary and decisive remedy must be provided for the evil'. Widely spread as elementary education now is, and readily as access to sound information can be had, as compared with former times, there can be no doubt that a much greater extension of the one, and a readier access to the other, are urgently required. The success which has attended educa tional efforts has, in fact, rendered a ready access to wholesome literature more than ever desirable. Mental activity has been so far stimulated that its cravings will, per force, be satisfied. It is of paramount importance, therefore, that the aliment which it demands should be wholesome and easily procured. Half rations will not do. If whole some literature is scarce or difficult of access, un wholesome is not so, and will be resorted to. This, unfortunately, has been the case already to a largo extent. According to the Edinburgh, Re view of July, 1850, the total issue of cheap irnmnrfal lblina.t.innsi oanl,l is one yea r throughout the country amounted to 29 millions—a . startling number, the consideration of which should stimulate all who wish well to thpir kind to increased effort. Such has been the effect in several of our large commercial towns, whore strenuous efforts hare been made to supply the intellectual and moral wants of the industrious masses. Not only in these centres of comraercial energy have schools been multiplied, but new life has been thrown intoMechanics' Institutes, and a more alluring character has been given them. Class rooms have been added or revived, and popular lectures on useful subjects have been provided. Other institutes, with a like object, have been established, and great good has been effected. The establishment of Free Libraries, however, which has taken place in eleven of them, is that which principally distinguishes their efforts from those of other towns, and has been attended with the happiest results. From these storehouses of immortal thought wholesome mental aliment has been distributed, in quarters too where the gene ral appetite was most in danger of becoming morbid, because of the facilities for indulgence in vague and injurious speculation or pernicious excitement. The success of these libraries, it is gratifying to know, has equalled, if not surpassed, the most sanguine expectations of their founders. The industrious masses have gladly profited by the opportunities offered them, and have vindi cated the intelligence of their order. Not only have works of what is called "Light Literature," the value of which, when moderately indulged in, has been underrated, experienced their full share of attention ; but it is gratifying to know that the desire for the soundest and most useful information is hardly less strong and prevalent, and that, while the pages of fiction alai adventure show, by their well-thumbed condition, the request in which they are held, the pages of history and works on art and science have readers almost as numerous, and possibly more select. Free Libraries, it is found,aro admirably adapted to supply a great want of the age. When our youth leave school to enter on the business of life there is always danger of their imperfect knowledge being perverted, deteriorated, or lost, and the great desideratum in question is to connect the school with the workshop—the scholar with the artisan—to guide the career of the latter while in the pride, the intoxication, we may say, of his en franchisement from a state of pupilage into the path: of wisdom. No wonder, therefore, that the extension of Free Libraries is earnestly advo cated, and that Mr. EWART'S Bill has met with considerable and increasing approval. His bill, however, only relates to towns, and though the moral and intellectual exigencies of towns more peremptorily demand attention, owing to obvious causes, the absolute necessity of supplying the corresponding wants of our rural districts is undeniable. The desolating tide of immoral literature may reach them in diminished volume and force, but it does reach them ; in creases in strength, and ought to be stayed ; for human nature is pretty much tho same in the country as in the towns. How, then, is this want to be supplied ? How are our rural districts to be furnished with the desired means for self improvement in an accessible manner? No act of the Legislature is likely, for some time, di rectly at least, to further this good work. Free Libraries cannot, in general, be hopefully looked for, though the landed gentry might do much in way, and literary and scientific institutes, as do n o t t a k e root well, and flour i s h among rural population. Something, however, must be done, and the suggestions contained in an able pamphlet,* recently issued by the Vicar of Upton, Notts, appear to rr n " , e;serving of attention. He recommends the ro-,:z.ation of what ho calls " Popular Libraries" in rural' districts, on a self-supporting and inexpensive plan. In the first place the literary wants of the dis trict in which it is proposed to establish a library, being ascertained, he would have the educated middle classes conferred with as to the desirable ness of originating a plan for the improvement of themselves and their neighbours. An invita tion to a public tea meeting, to be paid for by the parties themselves, will, he is of opinion, ge nerally produce a large attendance—an important consideration. At such meeting he would have the subject formally introduced, subscribers in vited to enrol themselves, and choose their own officers—subscriptions to be paid in advance. He would have it distinctly stated at the outset that the library thus originated was to give effect to the wiines of those who belong to it, and that its successful progress will mainly depend on themselves, in judiciously managing, wisely selecting, and carefully using the books which they purchase or receive as dona tions. In the next place he recommends that some interesting and popular works be put into immediate circulation, and the responsibility of management fall at once into the hands of the selected officers. The merits of this plan are ob vious, and the popular character of the manage ment is likely to be an important element of suc oess. The libraries are to comprehend a district, at all events, to consist of thirty members, and the subsoription (two shillings per annum) is to be paid in advance. For further particulars we must refer our readers to the pamphlet itself, trusting that this or some better scheme may, ere long, meet with general adoption. • Popular Libraries in Rural Distriote. By the Rev. T. W. Naylor. Simpkin, Marshall, and Co. LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY). COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sitting at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice Erle.) The court was occupied during the principal part of the day trying an action for damages, brought by a pauper named Monour against Messrs. Moser, of the Borough, iron merchants, for an accident she had met with caused through their negligence. Mr. M. Chambers was for plaintiff, and Mr. Pullen for defendants. It appeared that the defendants bad, through their workmen, taken up the pavement to construct a tram way to their warehouses in the Borough, and . the stones being left in the way, plaintiff at night had fell over them and fractured his knee-cap, and became crippled for life. Terdict for plaintiff—damages, 751- POLIO INTELLIGENC.II.-(THIS DAY.) MANSION-I{OI I SE. TRH SMOKE NUISANCE IN THE CITY. This day, at one o'cleck, Messrs. Waterlow, the well known printers of London-wall, appeared before the Lord Mayor to answer a summons taken out against them for not consuming the smoke coming from the furnaces upon their premises. Mr. Bodkin appeared to support the summons. The affair has created some excitement in the neigh. bourhoed, and the complaint bad been made by the inhabitants of Finsbarreircus, who had communicated with Lord Palmerston upon the subject. His lordship had, in accordance with the provisions of the act, referred the matter to the City Com mission of sewers, and a long correspondence had taken place, and, upon coming before the Court of Aldermen, Mr. Waterlow, sen., a member of that body, had been one of the first to suggest that a summons should be taken out against his sons. Mr. Waterlow, jun., said that they bad been most unfortunate in their sltttempta to consume their own smoke, the present apparatus which they had new pat up being the third experiment tried, and tins ho had now every hope would answer the purpose. Mr. Bodkin, in explaining the matter, said that the statements made by Mr. 'Waterlow was quite true, and that all he now asked was that the matter be allowed to stand over, and the proceedings remain sopen against the defendants with the understanding that no judgment would be asked if the nuisance was abated, and he wished it to be known that if any future complaints were to be made in the City they should be had before the - Commissioners of City Sewers, and they would investigate the matter. B 0 W-STREET. THE CASE OF SING, THE "DETECTIVE. According to the remand of Mr. Hall, Charles King who stands charged with receiving the proceeds of various robberies committed by boys, was this morning again placed at the bar. Mr. Bodkin, who appears on the part of the Govern ment to prosecute, adiressing the magistrate, said he had again to apply for a further remand in order to complete the necessary inquiries that were being made to sift this case to the bottom. The Magistrate then ordered King to be remanded till this day week. King asked the Magistrate to hand over to his wife the money found on him. (Two half sovereigns, we believe.) Mr. Hall raid he had no objection to that being done, The prisoner was then removed from the bar. MARLBOROITGII-STREET. EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT By A CONFIDENTIAL CLERIC James Henry Puttock was brought before Mr. Hard wick for examination, charged with embezzling upwards of 5001., received for, and on account of, his employer, Mr. Stephen Garrard, solicitor, No. 13, Suffolk-street, Pall-mall. The prosecutor deposed that the prisoner was in his employ as cashier, and it was his duty to reeeive all moneys from the collecting clerk, and to duly account for the same to witness. On the evening of the 17th inst., in consequence of certain information he had re ceived, he requested the prisoner to render an account of the rental of an estate of which prosecutor had the management, and of which the rents were much in arrear ; at the same time telling him ho (prosecutor) should collect them himself on the following day. The prisoner's manner, on hearing this, induced prosecutor to charge him with having received tie rents and appro priated the proceeds to himself. The prisoner at once admitted each was the fact. Prosecutor then desired him to make out an account of all moneys he had em bezzled, which he at once did, and admitted receiving upwards of 500/., the whole of which he had spent. Pro secutor then seat for a constable and gave him into custody. Evidence having been offered in corroboration of the above, the prisoner, who offered n• defence, was com mitted for trial.

Official despatches, we have been informed, •were received in Paris yesterday from the Crimea, , wkich speak in a more positive manner than such flommunications have hitherto done, "of the date ;fixed for the "assault." From the sth to the :10th of next month it is stated that this long ,expected event will take place. IL does not of ,course follow that the expectations of the Allied gc merals will be realised ; and the storming of SebaF topol has been so often promised, and so often - postponed, that not the slightest surprise would be manifested if the present, like the preceding announcements of the same kind, were but a false alarm. Three feet •f snow corer, it appears, the ground occupied by the armies, and such a state of things is not very favourable to operations. It is said, and it is very probable, that discontent is beginning to creep in among the French army, notwithstanding its superior condition as compared with that of our men. The French are impatient for the storming, and murmur at the delay. The presence of Omer Pasha at the late Council of War, at which generals and ad mirals assisted, aid the reported landing at Eupatoria of the entire Turkish forces, are indi- cative of something very important being at hand. Yet even yesterday letters had been received from tke camp which express the doubt whether Se bastopol will ever be taken by the Allies. It may be but the language of weariness and despair. Be this as it may, the despatch alluded to above, naming the period from the sth to the 10th for the assault, was yesterday received in official quarters. A WAR UPON THE RHINE There are still some persons in Paris who think that the Emperor of Russia sincerely desires peace. We dare say he does, provided he gets everything he wishes; otherwise it is difficult to reconcile the illusion as to his real intentions with the accounts that reach us almost every day of the 'past armaments prepared on eyel y point of his empire. There can, indeed, be little doubt that the Crimea is about to be- come the theatre of a most sanguinary struggle. Reinforcements are said to be already on their way to the Russian camp, and as the proportions of the war become enlarged, and as it is evident that both parties are trying to gain time, the cannon will soon become the real negotiator. So slight is the hope of peace being re-established that another theatre of hostilities appears to the vision of military men as looming in the distance. The war spirit being once roused, the imagination revels in new and as glorious dreams as those of Alma and Inkerman. A war upon the Rhine is in everybody's mouth, and it is asserted as a fact that, so convinced are they of its being inevitable, that several officers, and not of low rank either, are already preparing their equipments. NtrIEZTIS.TA., WaszwzioDAV" EVENING. The conferences fur peace will open on the Gth of February. Baron de Bruck has accepted the post of Minis. ter of Finance. The Press has advices from Bucharest of the 24th. The Military Gazette states that the Grand Dukes Michael and Nicholas have quitted St. Petersburg to rejoin the Russian army in the Crimea. The Allied cruisers have taken or laid an embargo on several vessels laden with provisions aid ammunition for the Russian army. The Admirals have declared all the ports in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azoff in a state of strict blockade. We have received the following from Mar• seilles : MARSEILLES, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The Clyde, expected from Constantinople, has not arrived. Prince Napoleon, who left Constantinople on the 12th, has not arrived. Generals Pelissier, Rivet, and Davißiers, left to-day for the Crimea. VIENNA, JAN. 23. If the Austrian proposal to mobilise the armies of the States of Germany, and to appoint a corn mander-in-chief of the Federal forces, is carried at the Frankfort Diet, it is coufidently expected that the Emperor of Austria will be named as com mander. CHRISTIANA, JAN. 16. Orders have been given to raise 1,000 sailors, The Norwegian army gun-boat force is to be con. siderably augmented. TURIN, JAL 24. From Alexandria (Egypt) ninetoen fresh con voile of material of war had been despatched to ,he Crimea. Accounts from Bombay, of the 2d January, announce the arrival of a detachment of Hussars, destined for the Crimea. They were to have left the following week for Suez. THE CRIMEA. Private letters from the camp before Sebastopol are to the 9th. The health of the troops seemed to improve although the cold was severe. The daily deaths had fallen to 90. The sheepskin coats for different regiments were being issued, and also rice to the troops in the usual manner. Lord Raglan has ordered that every man be served out with one pair of boots gratuitously. The weekly average of sick sent to Scutari amounts to something like 700 men. A permanent staff of medical men is appointed to be on board each vessel taking sick to Scutari. About 500 wooden huts had arrived at Balaklava. The Royal Horse Artillery is to be employed to carry them up to the camp. It is intended, in the first place, to put up a sufficient number of huts ouside Balaklava, to relieve the warehouses which are already crammed, and have not sufficient room for the goods which arrive daily. It is intended to establish a depot at head-quarters, with 14 days' provisions for the whole army always in store. The transport of shot, &c., is stopped for a time, and the carts are assisting in taking up provisions. Every four men carry one cwt. A body of 1,000 Cossacks passed down the Inkerman valley and through Camara village on the Bth. What their object was no one knows. The enemy has opened a new battery opposite to the Guards' idiots, on the heights over Inkorman. The French took down our sick on the morning o a f the 4th on their ambulance mules, and General Can robert ordered that the mules should return laden with provisions to the depot at head-quarters. Sixteen hundred hands were employed on the 2d in bringing up provisions to head-quarters for the depot. FRANCE. The Moniteur publishes the following under date of Munich, the 20th of January : "The Bavarian Minister of State has just presented to the Chambers a bill for the eventual mobilisation of the Bavarian contingent. M. de Pfordten asks the Chambers to vote a credit of 15 million of florins for that purpose." The Moniteur publishes the following extracts from the Journal de Constantinople of the 11th of January :—. "A letter from Kamiesh of the Bth of January says : The batteries of mortars of the French army cause considerable annoyance to the Russians, who have re treated in great numbers towards Simpheropol.' "The General of Division Salles, who commands the Bth division of the army in the East, arrived at Constan tinople on the 7th; on board the English vessel Andes, and left on the 9th for the Crimea. " General Faucheux, S ly ho commands a brigade of the same division, arrived the same day on board the Impe rial packet-boat Sinai. " iliza Pasha, the Ottoman Minister of War has been personally superintending the shipping of clothes and other articles for the Crimea. Ahmed Pasha, who com mands the Turkish squadron in the Black Sea, was to sail on the 11th or 12th on board the Feizi-Bahri ; the flotilla of steam-boats under his orders will take in tow sailing-vessels laden with troops at Varna. Vassif Pasha, Commander-in-Chief of the army at Kara, takes his passage on board the Feizi-Bahri to join his post." The Moniteur gives the following account of the presentation to the Emperor of the flags taken at Touggourt :—" The Minister of War yesterday presented to the Emperor the Arab deputation, charged to present to his Majesty the flags taken from the enemy in the recent expedition of Toug gourt. One of these flags is stained with the blood of the intrepid soldier, who, after a hand-to-hand conflict, succeeded in wresting this trophy from the Arab who carried it. The Emperor presented the Cross of the Legion of Honour to Lieutenant Con stant d r Yanvilre, the first French officer who en tered Touggourt, as also to Ahmed Ben Amraoui, a sharpshooter of the battalion of Constantina. This native, who was wounded in 1851, in Kabylia, took two of the fla g s from the Choikh o f T ouggour t. Two other Arabs,Khalet Ben Dif, a soldier of the 3d regiment of Spahis, and Ahmed Ben Zourzour, a soldidr of the goum of the Saharis, received the military medal from the hands of his Majesty. Each of them had taken a flag from the Cherif." An imperial decree, dated the 20th, authorises the Caisse de Service de la Boulangerie to borrow, to an amount not exceeding the sum of 6,000,000 f., the funds necessary for continuing the service with which it is charged. This service is to pay the bakers the difference between the cost price of flour and the reduced rate at which they sell bread to the public. The decree enacts that the loan shall be made in the same manner as that of 24,000,000 f. already authorised by decree of Jan. 18, 1854. Dr. Comarmond, the conservator of antiquities in the museum at Lyons, is taking measures for a general classification of the antiquities of all kinds which it is expected will be discovered in the cut tings and excavations about to be made for forming conduits and canals, and for the underground pas sage of the Lyons Railway.

He commands the 9th division of the French army, consisting of 12,000 men, which is hourly expected here, and des tined as a reinforcement for the Crimea. Mean time letters have been received from General Canrobert 'complimenting General Brunet on his arrival, as also precise instructions to General Larchey, commander-in-chief of the French troops at Constantinople, to retain ' here all coming reinforcements until further orders. The cause of this sudden resolution it is of course a difficult matter to determine. It would AAR . ' either to intliont9 rua cue present ...ponoiozn of hostilities —or, that General Canrobert finds himself enabled to carry out, with the force under his command, any plans or operations which may be required at this juncture. General Canrobort's popularity in both armies is unbounded ; he is seen day and night, in every direction' along the lines, in the trenches, tents, and posts of danger, frater nising with his troops, and consoling them under trials and privations. Their patience, is how ever, almost exhausted ; and they all demand with oae voice to assault the place. General Canrobert, in reviewing on a late occasion his he roic soldiery, was greeted by a general acclamation of " Vive Canrobertl" and pronounced an eloquent oration, terminating with these memorable words : "Ne dites pas, mes braves, Vive Canrobert, mais vive l'Empereur ! et qua ce cri retentisse jusqu'au cceur de nos ennemis—dont la derniere heure a sonnO ! Vous crierez, Vive votre General, lorsque je me lancerai votre tete, et quo mon corps vous servira de drapeau sur la breche. . Si nous n'avons pas donne encore l'assaut, c'est pour des raisons particulieres 4 moi connues." The majority of our own officers know General Canrobert by sight, and all by reputation—and say that he is exactly the man to fulfil to the letter his fatal and remarkable promise to the troops. By yesterday's packet, an aide-de-camp of Prince Jerome arrived at Constantinople, and announced without delay his intention " d'arracher, bon gro maigre," Prince Napoleon from his present difficul ties, and.return with him to Paris. Accordingly all has been bustle and preparation since yesterday at the French palace, and his Imperial Highness has made several magnificent presents to M. Benedetti and the personnel of the embassy. To-day, at two p.m., the Prince will be received by the Sultan in audience at the Imperial Palace of Tcheragem, and starts this evening for Franco by the mail steamer. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Jan. 2L—There is reason to believe either that the language employed by Prince Gorts. chakoff in accepting the four conditions was ambi guous, or that the Ministers attached undue im portance to what was said by that diplomatist, as a correspondent of the Augsburg Gazette, whose pen is known to be at the service of the Russian Em bassy in this city, now writes as follows : " It is but natural that the comprehensive diplomatic explications which took place during the two last confe rences can only become known to the public by degrees. Not long since I directed your particular attention to the form observed at the conferences of the 28th December and 7th January, as under existing circum stances it is on that form any conclusions deduced entirely depend. Without professing to be privileged to lift the veil from diplomatic secrets, I am sufficiently well informed to be able to correct some not unimpor tant errors into which other correspondents have fallen. It is neither true that in the two confer ences in question an interpretation of the four points was given, nor that the parties concerned (Count Buol, the Earl of Westmoreland, and Baron de Bourqueaey) had previously agreed on an interpretation. I can positively assure you that the four participators in the preliminary conferences in question agreed to avoid any interpretation of the four points, and to leave the matter for the approaching regular peace conferences. During the two preliminary conferences it was only the question of giving a more precise expression (prcezisi rung) to the four points, and after that form of expres sion, as a result of the mutual oral communications, bad been agreed on, the declaration was given, that the regu lar negotiations for peace could begin on its basis. It can therefore now he but the question of the necessary autho risation for the Representatives of England and France, which cannot well be refused by the Cabinets of London and Paris, unless :indeed they should formally disavow what has been done by their diplomatic agents." RUSSIA. The Weser Gazette contains a letter nom Warsaw of the 14th, which says : "The Grand Duke, heir to the Crown, arrived at St. Petersburg at the same time as Prince Paskiewitch, and soon after passed a grand review of the troops. The Empress was not present at the national fete in honour of the deliverance of Russia from the French invasion in 1812. The Emperor was in the chapel on the occa sion of the religious service, unaccompanied by any of the imperial family, but having near him a most nume rous body of functionaries, of the corps diplomatique, &c. The Ist and 2d divisions of the fleet are in the port of Cronstadt, and the 3d at Helsingfors." TUSCANY. At the reception of Colonel Dumas, of the French cavalry on the 16th, by the Grand Duke of Tus cany his Royal Highness was pleased to say that he was happy to seizo the occasion of the passage of the French troops through his states to testify the sentiments of warm friendship and admiration which he felt for the Emperor of the French and his army ; and that congratulated lajAnif on learning his pe rsona l i n t en ti ons had been tb fall! acted up to by his subjects.
