TUE MINISTERIAL CRISIS. The Ministerial erisim is at an end fer the pre sent, Lord Palmerston having undertaken the task of forming a now Administration, with orrery prospect of success. The two Houses will meet to-night simply for the purpose of adjourning. The formation of a Government now rests in the hands of Lord; PALMERSTON. We earnestly hope that he may be more successful than either Lord DERBY or Lord JOHN RUSSELL in the exe cution of the arduous and important duty. Every possible allowance will, we are eonvinced, be made by Parliament and the country for the statesman who may chivalrously come forward during the present emergency, and to the utmost of his ability exert himself to place matters in a satisfac tory position. It is not men but measures that are looked for. We want to teach the AUTOCRAT and his co-conspirators that England is really and truly in earnest, and. that she cannot be either bullied or cajoled—to remove the perilous and' highly prejudicial effects of Lord ABERDEEN'S Administration, and the virtual recognition of the "peace-at-any-price principle." We hope some patriotic member will forthwith impeach Lord ABERDEEN, if only as a warning to others. We endured that iambus too long ; and never, perhaps, was there a more decisive and unequivo cal proof of the general condemnation than that afforded by the division on Mr. ROEBUCK'S mo tion. The nation confided in Lord raLaielt...),:f. It would have been fully contented had he been placed in the prominent position to which he was so justly entitled. As Premier he would have acted so vigorously as to have induced the CZA_R long since to have sued for peace. As War Mi nister he Might have neutralised the evil conga quencee of the good and excellent ABERDEEN being Prime Minister. But matters have gone so far that something more is now requisite. Lord PALMERSTON, al though unquestionably a tower of strength, will not be sufficient by himself, and should he attempt to constitute a new Ministry from the old materials we fear that the result will not be creditable to himself or beneficial to the nation. Lord Anna- De&N is universally condemned. His presence would be fatal to any Administration. It would alienate confidence at home and abroad. It would, in fact, be the " wet blanket" that would smother every burst of enthusiasm. —ev ery symptom of the adoption o f a soun d er and more energetic policy. cannot getic policy. " The travelled Tha ne hope t o be taken from the shelf on which he has been placed at the all but unanimous desire of the people. We ma y judge from what is already known re specting the negotiations between Lords Deairr and PALMERSTON . that the services of Mr. GLAD STONE will be sought fir in the event of the Noble Viscount endeavouring to form a Cabinet. We have nothing' to say against the talent of the Right honourable Gentleman. His bril liant eloquence and steady determination are well known ; but while we accord to him the possession of many high qualities, we cannot concur in the financial policy which lie kas hitherto adopted. With the exception of Lord ABERDEEN, he has done more to prejudice the cause of England than any other member of the Cabinet. If he will consent to abandon his financial crotchets —if he will be guided by' , the experience of others, or give fair play to his THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 5, 1855, own natural powers—well ! He may be an ex ceedingly useful and efficient Minister, or he may be a very dangerous one. It would be essential that before any new combination were entered into that some assurance should be given that he would not abide, with such perverse obsti nacy, by certain fiscal crotchets, which have given deep offence to the great body of the nation. Lord PALMERSTON must take especial care on these points, if he desires to form a strong and lasting Ministry. Every indulgence will be ex hibited—the utmost cordiality displayed. But he also must take care not to abuse the kindness of the people, or consent to the undue oppression of the present generation for the sake of posterity. It will net only be necessary to carry on the War vigorously and efficiently, but to abstain from placing the whole of the burden on the present generation. This evening we shall probably hear respecting the progress and chances of success of the Noble Viscount. We trust that they may be satisfac tory ; but we must once more impress on all our leading politicians the necessity of making large personal sacrifices for the general good—of not merely abstaining from any decided opposition, but of lending active assistance to those who are striving to extricate their SOVEREIGN from the dilemma in which she is placed. The State Papers of M. DRountDs L'Huvs have long attracted public attention. He has invariably dealt with the subject under consider ation for the time being with a sound practical common sense, combined with a keen discernment of its salient points, that placed it in the clearest and most satisfactory point of view. He pos sesses a happy facility for dispersing the mists which obscure the true state of affairs, and bring ing the light of truth to bear thereon in full effulgence. His able exposures of the NESSELRODE fallacies have long been duly appreciated, and he has now added to his claims on the confi dence of the EMPEROR and people of France by a masterly refutation of the untenable claims put forward by Prussia for readmission to the general Conferences from which she has excluded herself by her own vacillating and temporising conduct. The Circular which the French Minister has addressed to the representatives of France at the different courts of Germany is indeed au instruc tive document, well worthy of perusal by every person desirous of judging correctly respecting the position in which Prussia, once considered one of the Great Powers of Europe, has placed herself, and from which she refuses to make any proper effort for her own extrication. It is not, in fact, the acts of the other Powers, or of any of them, that have excluded Prussia. She has withdrawn herself from the association ; she has refused to advance on the only ground it was possible to traverse ; she has declined to put her aetia and words in complete harmony with those into whose society she now seeks to intrude herself, 'without giving any assurance of a change of policy ! The moment she does so she will be cordially welcomed—the arras will be opened to receive her; but she must take the initiative herself. She must abandon the policy that pro duced the isolation, before the isolation itself is removed. She must make choice between the belligerent parties, and boldly and manfully decide the banner under which she will array herself before she can be listened to. As a friend, or an enemy, she may be dealt with ; but not as a sus picious neutral, on whom raobody can place any reliance. Regretting deeply the causes that have led to such a demonstration by the French Go vernment, we fervently rejoice that it has been made. Prussia must now resolve on entering into an alliance with Russia or the other Powers. It is only by declaring her policy distinctly and unequivocally, that she can re-open the doors which her previous conduct had hermetically sealed against her, and which she can now only re-enter as an active partisan on the side of the Allies. It is Prussia that is endangering the stability of the Germanic Confederation. It is she alone who can restore its coherence, and give it the vitality which 1 it so urgently requires. Lord STANLEY must share with Mr. MILNER , GIBSON the honour of the approaching abolition of the Newspaper Stamp. Without wishing to de prive the latter gentleman of one fraction of the honour due to his unflinching perseverance, and unwearied Parliamentary efforts, we believe ho would be forward to acknowledge the decisive value of Lord STANLEY'S services. They Are so much the greater, because the great party to which he belongs were, previously to the Noble Lord's first manly letter on the subject, understood to be opposed to the change. The majority of Mr. GIBSON'S party were, on the other hand, in favour of it. Timid Whigs like Lord JOHN RI7SBELL, or quaking papermakers like Mr. ALEXANDER CowAN, indeed shrunk from the diffusion of cheap political knowledge, or from endangering the course of the paper monopoly ; but the great body of Liberals were, of course, in favour of removing every impediment in the way of diffusing political knowledge. Mr. GIBSON', therefore, had but to speak the views of his party, while Lord STANLEY had the task of converting his. We liar o no doubt li. Lac to a ldrf i v extrnt succeeded, and the public may thank this young nobleman both for Mr. MILNER'S late invigorated efforts and for Mr. GLADSTONE'S clarified vision on the question. Without doubting for one moment the sincerity of the latter gentleman's convictions, we must think that the course taken by the son of the Earl of. DERBY convinced the Chancellor of the Exchequer that the right time was come. He saw that if he did not appropriate tho proposal of a popular measure the next Conservative Ministry would be sure to do so ; or that possibly Mr. GIBSON and Lord STANLEY, joining their forces, would carry it without him. We are led to these remarks by the appearance of another letter on the subject from Lo r d STANLEY, as a supplement to our weekly con temporary, Tha Press, which we think it due, both to the Noble Lord and to the intrinsic merits of the letter, to reprint in The Sun to-day. It displays the same unmistakeable character of thorough and most intollige nt con viction as his former one. It was written in reply to a pamphlet entitled " the Newspaper Postal Stamp," and is certainly a model of close, logical, and, we must think, unanswerable rea soning. We must be permitted to say that it is quite refreshing to see the heir of the house of DERBY asserting as axioms the most liberal and so a u n a n d e r , indeed, wh i ch principlesiee in icl u discussingi at put this co question—in of a manner, mere Whigs to th e blush • •in d scor es , indeed we think the tone of Lord STANLEY'S discussion, both of this subject and that of Church Itatos, will go far to raise greater expectations from the house of DERBY than that of BEDFORD. The opinion ' gains ground that Whigs talk about reform bills, and give us aristocratical ascendancy in disguise, but that the Conservatives redress practical grievances. w e should much m ore ex p ect a man who follows out principles to their consequences, like Lord STANLEY, to become a supporter even o f the Ballot, than that " Democrats in Opposition and Oligarchs in office," like Lord JOHN RUSSELL, should ever be so. Lord STANLEY shows that the tax, even con sidered as a postal charge, is unjust. That is tho point which he urges irrefutably. The large jour nals pay no more for transmission than the small ones. Less than a quarter of an ounce and the Times of four ounces are charged alike. We do not deal so unrighteously with our letter postage. Again, the lowest - priced journals must now pay the same tax as the highest. A twopenny newspaper must pay 100 per cent., and a ninepenny one 12i per cent. of its cost. Worse than all, those who do not want the services of the post at all must pay for them while they reject them ; just as Dissenters of all kinds must pay rates to repair churches, and meet the expense of serviceswhic c h h httheingyns aeverre unjust. We Lord STANLEY'S opinion such We suppose all impartial persons will agree with him in opinion; if so, they should join him in practice. A great outcry has been made about the poli tical consequences of multiplying cheap local prints. Lord STAXLEr strongly maintains that we have no right to do a fiscal evil that a politi cal good may come. Not that he is apprehensive of such evil ; he sees no danger in the artisan's enjoying a pennyworth appropriate to his taste, while the reader of higher intelligence and educa tion will still continue to prefer his high-priced newspaper, with its instructive original articles and first-hand information. He has been in America, and he meets the clamour about re ducing our journalism to the level of that of the United States by the just observation, first, that all American journals are by no means of inferior quality ; next, what is most important, that the Press of the day will always, to a large extent, represent the tastes, thoughts, and wants of the day. The plain answer, he says, is, " like people like Press—it reflects faithfully enough the prevailing sentiment of American citi zens ; it is democratic—so are they. If it is often vulgar, violent, abusive, addicted to braggadocio and credulous of marvels, these are exactly the faults, a little exaggerated in the copying, of a young and growing nation, in which material prosperity has advanced faster than the arts and refinements of life. If in the English mind there be a similar state of feeling, by all means let it be exposed rather than concealed—an evil fully brought to light is half remedied. But, in truth, the English character differs widely from the American, and a popular press, though ulti mately it may help in forming, must follow and be suited to the bias of the popular mind." With Lord STANLEY we must hold that it is wrong, with the leading Whigs, to uphold the stamp law as a virtual political censorship ; nor can auy oats refuto his lucid demonstration, that it is a fiscal injustice. Fall, therefore, it must. How it will affect us, of the Metropolitan Press, no sagacity can yet fully divine. We trust Lord STANLEY'S hopes on this score will be realised. We have, however, no right and no wish to avert a barely possible calamity by perpetuating an in justice. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SEW. SIR,—It appears that in the endeavours made and making to form a Governuaentithat the principal mem bers of the late Cabinet have been applied to for their co-operation, except the Duke of Newcastle. Has not the unprecedented majority of 157 in a want of confi dence been against the Ministry as a body, and not an individual? Why should his Grace the noble Duke be thus ♦ictimised, and sacrificed to an unprincipled plot and intrigue, and the faelts of other departments, the commissariat, &c., recently allied to the War Minister, be visited on him ! And let me ask, when has the high and important office of Colonial Secretary been so ably and efficiently filled, at a very e►entful crisis, as by the Duke of Newcastle ; or what memberof the late Cabinet has devoted so energetically and zealously his abilities to the public service as his Grace has done I The duties of a War Minister were new and complicated, and required a ♦ery able old soldier or foreign diplomatist. This Lord John Russell well knew, when he was a party to I the Duke of Newcastle's being Minister at War, to va cate the colonies for his friend Sir George Grey. Hoping you will insert these few lines in your valu able columns, I am, &c., Feb. 4. R. B. M. TO TXE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,--For four years you have urged the importance of Lord Palmerston being Prime Minister. You have incessantly pointed to hi m as a St atesman possess i ng the most ability and experience ; and had your suggestions been carried out we might have been spared the disasters that have happened within tie last six months. Sebastopol would have been taken by a coup de main, or proper preparations would have been made for a regular siege. With tie chief responsibility resting on Lord Palmerston, to bins would be the honour of success or the disgrace of failure ; this would have brought out to the utmost the great energy and ability that every one allows that he pos sesses, and the nations on the Continent, who have been accustomed to regard him as an enemy to despotism, would sympathise even more than they do at present with the Western Powers. Were Lord Palmerston Pre mier it would give a reality to the war, and make it more evidently that which it is in reality--a struggle between the principles of freedom and despotism. Had the Germans confidence in the sincerity of our Government, which they never could have whilst Lord Aberdeen was Premier, the vacillating po licy of tie King of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria, however they might desire it, would be impossible. What is onr position at present ? for it is necessary that we should consider it. Our army, composed as it was of the boldest soldiers that ever lived, is destroyed or nearly so—not by the enemy, but by the mismanage ment of those who must owe their position to Lord Aberdeen. Our incompetency to develops the resources of the country for offence or defence is demonstrated to the whole world, and it will be fortunate if the nations in India who are kept in subjection more by our prestige than by our armies do nob begin to doubt our omnipotence ; ai d, enconrage d b y R uss i a, endea vour to throw o ff our yo k e. And what is almost worse than. all, the want us in England has so completely paralysed trade that thousands are out of employment, and the die tress in the manufacturing districts is increas ing every week. This stagnation in trade is not owing to the war —it is only since the in competency of Lord Aberdeen has been so glaring that it has taken place. There is but one remedy for these evils. There is but one way to restore confidence and to revive trade, to preserve what there is left of our army, and give it fresh spirit. Your suggestion must be carried out. Lord Palmer ston must be Primo Minister.—Yours, &c., _ _ C. W. S. SAILING OP THE ASIA.—The British and North American royal mail steam-ship Asia, Captain Lott, sailed from Liverpool for Boston on Saturday forenoon, at twenty minutes past eleven o'clock, with a large cargo, the usual mails, and 109 passengers. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-packet Madrid, Captain N. Cook, has arrived at Southampton with the Peninsular nails. Her dates are—Gibraltar, Jan. 23 ; Cadiz, 26 ; Lisbon, 29 ; Vigo, 30th. The Madrid brings 31 passengers, amongst whom are Mr, Oliveira, M.P. ' and lady; Captain Maberley, R.A. Captain YounghuslAnd, R. A. SIIZERNEM—The screw steam-frigate Horatio, Com mander Robert Jenner, has arrived at Sheerness from Harwich. A court-martial is ordered to be assembled on board the flag-ship Waterloo to try one of the ward room officers of tho Horatio on a grave charge of a breach of discipline. DIE TELEGRAPH IN ITALY.—The Messaggere of Modena announces officially that the telegraphic lines just com pleted between Massa and Sarzana, and which form a link of communication between Tuscany and Piedmont, are now open to the public. THE HOSPITAL KITCHENS AT SCUTARI. —M. A. Soyer, of high culinary celebrity, has offered his services gra tuitously, and will proceed direct to Scutari for a short time, at his own personal expense, to regulate this im portant department, if the Government will honour him with their confidence, and grant Lim the full power of actin: according to his own knowledge and experience in such matters. Prince Napoleon, before leaving Constantinople to return to France, presented Dr. Fauvel, who attended him during his illness, with a gold snuff-box set with diamonds as a mark of his esteem. mi t . H. FENWICK, ALP.—The following placard was extensively, circulated in Sunderland yesterday (Thurs• day). Mr. Fenwick's vote bas created considerable dissatisfaction at Sunderland :—" Mr. H. Fenwick, M. P. for Sunderland, voted for the wholesale starvation of our soldiers in the Crimea."—Durham, Advertiser. Rear-Admiral Count do Bloesvile has just died at Paris, aged 84. He was a member of the Order of St. Louis and of the Legion of Honour, and also of a Por tuguese Order. to Simpheropol, and told them that he was con veying to the Prince the necessary powers for concluding an armistice for six weeks." Against this is to be set the following statement of the same journal : " A letter from the Emperor to Prince Men schikoff contains the following passage :---‘ From the motives above stated, you will perceive that I am very anxious to push on the campaign in the Crimea as rapidly as possible, and being it to a satisfactory conclusion. If facts do not corre spond to my expectations, I think, God willing, that I shall myself visit you and my dear army.' " FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY. The Moniteur publishes an Imperial letter to M. Magee, hitherto Minister of Agriculture, Com merce, and Public Works, appointing him Minis ter of Fißance, in the room of M. Bineau, who retires on account of ill health. The Moniteur also publishes the following ac count of Prince Napoleon's reception by the Em peror : On the day after his arrival at Paris his Imperial Highness Prince Napoleon was received by the Empe ror, His Majesty, embracing the Prince, could not control his emotion at witnessing the very great cLange in the Prince's features. The Prince, who was ill in Constantinople when the army departed for the Crimea, forgot his sufferings in order to pub himself at the head of his division, and the world knows the glo rious part he took in the battles of the Aline and of Ink-ern - lan. The state of his health, seriously af fected by fatigue, would sot, however, have prevented his remaining in the camp if the assault of Sebastopol had not been necessarily postponed. Informed by the General-is-Chiof that the period for making it had been put off, and no longer having in view the only prospect capable of sustaining him, the Prince was compelled to leave for Constantinople, wkere he indulged the hope of a recovery, which might permit him to return speedily to the Crimea. In this hope he has bees disappointed. Doctor Levy, chief physician of the army, has written to the Emperor that a longer stay in the East would in falliby be attended with results fatal to the Prince, and his Majesty immediately ordered his Imperial Highness to return to Paris. The affectionate reception given by his Majesty, and the expressions of sympathy bestowed on the Prince, will assuage the regret he feels at having been obliged to separate himself from an army where his conduct has procured for him the praise of every one that wit nessed it. All the ministers, the presidents of the grand corps of state, the great officers of the crown, aid the principal fenctionaries have hastened to present themselves and offer their homage to his Imperial Highness on the oc casion of his return. The Minister of Foreign Affairs has received from Lord Cowley the following communication : " Monsieur le Ministre,—l have the honour to trans mit to your Excellency the annexed copy of an address, in which the Legislative Council and the Legislative Assembly of Canada offer conjointly to the Queen their congratulations on the occasion of the victory gained by the allied armies at the Alma, and express their inten• tien of contributing to the subscription in aid of the widows and orphans of the soldiers and seamen, both English and. French, who have fallen in the present struggle. A sum of 20,000/. having been for this ob ject sent to London by the Government of Canada, to be divided equally between the two nations, I am charged to request your Excellency to inform me of the wishes ofithe Government of the Emperor relative to the mode of transmitting the 10,000/, (250,000 f.), which belong to France.—l am, &c., " Jan. 30. " COWLEY." The above letter is followed in the Moniteur by the address above alluded to, signed by the Presidents of the Legislative Council and the Legislative As sembly of Canada. RUSSIA. The Journal de St. Petersbourg of the 26th of January ( - rives the following account of sorties from Sebastopol : " On the night of the 12th of January a sortie was made by a detachment of volunteers, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Makaroff, of the sth Battalion of Rifles, aid Lients. Astalchoff and Biruleff, of the navy. It caused great disorder in the English camp. On this occasion we made 14 English and four French prisoners. Another sortie was made on the night between the 14th and 15th of January against the French trenches; 350 volunteers of the Volhynia Infantry Regiment took part in it, under the orders of Captain Syroboyarsky, of the same regiment. They made five prisoners and slew' a number of the enemy with the bayonet. " Captain Youschkoff, of the navy, Aide-de-Camp of Lis Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Constantine Nicolaiewitch, who was present at these two sorties, was slightly wounded by a bayonet!, " According to statsinent, of Ainb deserters, the position of the Turks in the enemy's camp is a hard.one. Tie English employ them to carry ammunition and pro vision to the causp—in other words!, make beasts of bur den of them." PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Feb. 2.-.-Colonel de Than, aide-de-camp to the King of Bavaria, has arrived here on a spe cial mission from the Oourt of Bavaria, and had the honour of delivering an autograph letter from his Sovereign to the King the day before yesterday. This document, it is understood, tends to further mediation, and, if possible, approachment, between the Tieina and Berlin Cabinets, the latter of which appears to have acquired additional strength from the rejection of the Austrian demand at Frankfort, and increased hopes that this rejection will lead to retrocession on the part of Austria. It is confirmed that France is negotiating with Austria for furnishing the latter with a subsidiary array of 150,000 men, the demand made by France to march that body by the shortest road through the Prussian dominions, has been rejected by the Berlin Cabinet in firm and energetic language. All eyes are now turned with the greatest atten tion towards London, as it is generally felt that the composition of the new ministry—the news of the resignation this morning being known here by the telegraph already—will not fail to have a powerful influence on the future policy of Prussia ; and, in deed, the conviction is in everybody's mind that the plot is thickening, and the moment for decision not far distant. On this decision depends the weal or woe of Prusaia. ITALY. A letter from Milan, of the 23d ult., in the Ger man Journal of Frankfort, says : "One evening last week a commissary of police pre sented himself in the Casino Nobili, which is frequented by Austrian officers, and asked one of the officers to place at his disposal twenty men to arrest a band of conspirators, who were at the moment assembled in a neighbouring house. At the head of tho men he went to the house, and called out for the doors to be opened ; but no reply being returned, he caused them to be beaten open by the but-ends of the muskets. Alsout twenty persons were arrested. At the same time a number of papers and documents wore seized ; they proved that a secret society of about sixty persons existed, and that it had prepared a plan of insurrection. Amongst the members of the society are six persons who are in the service of the gorcranacnt, and on that, account they will have to expiate severely their =minal. enterprise. It is not yet known whether or not the plot has other ramifications." A letter from Milan, of the 28th ult., in the Opinionc of Turin, states that several political arrests have been effected at Como, especially among the lower orders. A conspiracy is obscurely hinted at as being the cause of these arrests, but nothing certain has been as yet ascertained on the point. The same letter states that when Marshal Radetzky heard of the death of Queen Maria Adelaide of Sardinia, he burst into tears, having known her from her infancy. GERMAN CONFEDERATION The _Frankfort Journal of the 31st January pub lishes the following :-- "The united committee of the Diet held a sitting yes day, at which a resolution for the preparation for war' of tie federal contingents, within as short a delay as possible, was unanimously adopted. The proposition which led to this resolution emanated originally from Bavaria, and was unanimously adopted in consequence of the adhesion of Austria, who regarded it ae the prin ciple of mobilisation' carried out. Austria having adhered to it, there will not now be a formal vote in the Diet on 'mobilisation,' and the question whether the majority of the Diet would have adopted that proposi tion remains undecided. In the committee, it is true, it did not appear likely, froth the first, to obtain a majority ; but the majority of the Diet is not the same as the majority of the committee. " The resolution of the committee taken yesterday has shown, in the first instance, that the States of the Con federation were not opposed in principle to the Austrian proposition. It was also shown that Austria, in her loyalty and straightforwardness, di I not wish to make a question of form a question of principle, or to push her disagreement with Prussia to the last extremes, and to endanger the existence of the German Confederation, as some Prussian journals have insinuated." SPAIN. Marshal Espartero, in accord with the council of Ministers, has addressed a circular to the governors of provinces, to impress on them the ne cessity of maintaining order, of observing regularity in the collection of the taxes, and of enforcing due observance of the laws : . . " He says,—Tho state of alarm and uneasiness which, under various pretexts, is excited in some towns of the Peninsula by the enemies of true liberty, and at a mo me the Constituent Cortes, are unceasingly occupied b making a liberal—nay, a very liberal—con stitution, securing and determining the rights of Spaniards, will cfei.'irly specify their obligations, ha s seriously attracted the a,ttention of the Governmeat of her Majesty, over which 1 - .l),ave the honour to preside, and has given rise to a suspi;.lion that the enemies of our political regeneration, powerless to oppose our princi ples openly, are making use of malevolent means, in order to disturb the tranquillity of which we stand so much in need for the establishment of the fundamental law of the state. One of the means of the Government, without which it cannot provide for the wants of the state, is the regular collection of the public taxes. Their collection has suffered delays which tend to revolution. This evil must be remedied." A telegraphic despatch from Turin, of the 3d inst., announces that the discussion on the treaty of alliance concluded by Piedmont with the Western Powers commenced on that day in the Chamber of Deputies. Messrs. Farina and Brofferio spoke against the treaty ; and Messrs. Torelli and J. Durando in its favour. The Pope's monitory had been published. LATEST NEWS. THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL.

(Received at Bucharest, Feb. 3.) The weather has become much milder and finer. The troops have supported the trying days we have just gone through with admirable courage ; their confidence was never shaken for one mo ment by the extreme severity of the temperature. We have reason to hope that the depth of winter in the Crimea is past. We resume our work before the town with re newed activity. SEBASTOPOL, JAN. 28.

Tice-Admiral Commander-in-Chief Bamar, The Moniteur has also the following : Some foreign journals have spread a report that one or more special commissaries would be sent to Vienna to take part in the negotiations which may take place at that capital. The Emperor is too well satisfied with the ser vices rendered by Baron de Bourqueney not to intrust entirely t• him the carp of representing his policy in all its eventualities.

The telegraphic aunouncemtnt from Vienna that the Czar was seeking a ski weeks' armstice, appears to rest on the authority of the first part of the following letter, published in the Military Gazette of Vienna : OD SA, JAN. n. " Count Sauoitoff, who ha Li aeon sent as a courier extraordinary to Prince ?denschikoff, over took the Orand Dukes on the . pad from Perekop WEST COAST OF AFRICA. PLYMOUTH, SigNDAY. The African Steam IgravigationCompany's mail ship Bacchante, Commander Drink;, arrived here last night with tho mails from the west coast of Africa. Her dates are—Fernando Po, Nov. 29th ; Came roans, 30th ; Lagos, Dec. 9th ; Cap• Coast Castle, 13th ; Monrovia, 23d ; Sierra Leone, Jan. Gth ; Toneriffe, 20th ; and Madeira, 24th. Her cargo consists of palm oil, ivory, gum, pepper, cochineal, and wax ; also, 3,000 ounces of gold dust and a quantity of specie. H. M. brig Dolphin was at anchor off Accra, Nov. 21 ; the Cray. was at Lagos Nov. 24, 'and sailed for Fernando Po Deo. 8 ; the Antelope ar rived at Lagos Dec. 9 ; the Prometheus was at Sierra Leone ; the Ferret was off the river Pongos ; the Britomart sailed on a cruise, Dec. 30, from Sierra Leone ; the Pleiad, steamer, and brig Bloa dine were at Fernando Po.

The expedition has been very successful in geogra phical and general research, but was unable to ob tain any late information respecting Drs. Barth and Vogel. The trading part of the voyage under Mr. Taylor seems to have answered badly. The rivers were generally healthy. Everything was quiet, but trade very slack. Kosuko had finally agreed to abandon the slave trade, and to reside at Eppi, to the east of Lagos. Danish Accra is now quiet, but the effects of the late disturbances are still al parent. Various causes of discontent, chiefly connected with the application of the poll tax, are exhibited by the people. Bishop Vidal and Archdeacon Graf have been on a visitation to the stations at Abbeokuta and Yoruba country. Slaving is going on briskly in the neighbourhood of Hivida, and Porto Novo, and many shipments have taken place during the last eight or ton weeks.

The Paris correspondent of the Independence Beige, writing on the 2d inst., says,-- "A great deal is said just now about a treaty of alliance whch is reported to be on the eve of being signed with Portugal on the same conditions as those made in the recent treaty with Piedmont. The Portuguese legion will, it is said, be 12,000 teen. " I am also informed, on good authority, that great efforts are being made to induce Sweden to pronounce openly for the Western Powers. Hitherto the King of Sweden, however well inclined, has constantly refined to make any formal engagement. " Letters from Switzerland state that recruiting is going on very actively there for France and England." THE SPEAKER'S DINNER.
