The Moustraa ADVERTISER, there fore, with the vast resources now placed at the Editor's disposal, has before it the prospect of even a more brilliant career than has cha racterised it during the last four years of its existence, in which period it has risen in circulation with a rapidity whick has no parallel in the history of the Daily Press.

Upon them, indeed, depends the grave question what amount of money we need for the , outfit of the coming campaign. We will take the least important first—least, because no considera tions of honour and justice aro very essentially connected with it —namely, which is the cheapest mode of going to work. And, we reply, the one which will saddle Russia ultimately with the cost of the War. To some who would exclaim against this as too absurd to think of, we instance only the recent example of Piedmont. Europe and these gentlemen stood by and per. mitted Austria to make the Piedmontese pay the cost of a war undertaken purely to emancipate °_l 3 Pressed Lombardy. The victor, in an odi ous but too successful effort to reimpose his fetters on the Italians, was allowed both to reimburse him self and also to retain what does not belong to him by the rights of nations. Is there to be another law for Russia 2 and is she, in deference to her past arrogan ce , to put the Allies to bound less expense by her audacious burglaries, and not be made to refund ? We also ma d e Chi na repay by instalments the cost of the Opium War • and what reaso n can be given why Russian ' instalments should not repay the Allies for the expenseof teaching her the elements of interna tional justice 2 We maintain tha t this ma y be done. A winter ' devoted to the energetic preparation of men, of suitable ships, and of the best engineering d e _ vices, would certainly put into our hands early next summer not only the Crimea, but every im portant place on the Russian seaboard, from north to south ; while the necessary first steps to secure Poland would be taken openly in the second halt of the summer. Overwhelming preparations of this earnest kind would guarantee that an Aus trian Treaty should bo a reality, and the weak- THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY VVENT., DECEMBER 6, 1854. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, DEC. 5. The dinner party yesterday included the Duchess of Kent, Prince Ernest of Leiningen, the Earl of Aber (leen, the Lady in Waiting to the Duchess of Kent, Viscount and Viscountess Hardinge, Baroness de Speth, Lord George Paget, Lady Raglan, and the Hon. Miss Somerset. The Band of the Royal Horse Guards played during the dinner. Her Majesty's Private Band afterwards performed in the Castle. The Queen and the Princess Royal rode in the Riding house this morning. Prince Albert went out shooting. The Earl Somers and Lieut.-Cel. the Hon. N. Hood have succeeded the Earl of Listowel and Lieut.- General Sir Frederick Stavin as Lord and Groom in Waiting. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office from the Governors of Hong Kong and Ceylon. THE ADDRESS.—It is rJported that the address of the House of Commons, in reply to her Majesty's speech from the throne, will be moved by Mr. Henry Arthur Herbert, M.P. for Kerry. Lieut.-General Wetherall has entered on his duties at the Horse Guards, as successor to the late lamented and e a llant Lieut.-General Sir G. Cathcart. ' We are glad to announce that the Duke of Somerset continues to go on favourably. The inquiries after the health of his g race are still very frequent. The Earl Somers has arrived at 'Windsor Castle from his seat in Worcestershire to take his turn as one of the Lords in Waiting on her Majesty. Viscount and Viscountess Hardinge arrived In Great Stanhope-street yesterday, from visiting her Majesty and the Prince Consort at Windsor Castle. The Hon. and Rev. Wra. Robert Capel, uncle of the Earl of Essex, and for 55 years vicar of Watford, died on Saturday last, at the venerable age of 79 years. The Duke of Newcastle, Secretary and Minister of War, yesterday transacted official business for the first time in his Grace's department at Pembroke-house, Whitehall-gardens, so many years the abode of the late Lord Harrington, and which has been purchased by Government, and fitted up as Government offices. His Grace the Duke o f Newcastle has suggd to este the Board of Ordnan ce the necessity of supplying the troops berthed on deck, on board transports proceeding to the East, with oil-skin capes, in the proportion of one to three men, and has proposed that a por tion of the 20,000 new being manufactured for the use of our army in the East should be supplied for that purpose to each transport conveying troops to the Crimea. The Lady Raglan and the lion. Misses Somerset, who have been honoured with an invitation to visit the Sove reign at Windsor Castle, returned to Great Stanhope street to-day, from the Regal residence in Berkshire. We understand, from private sources, that the Sovereign expressed herself, and also the Prince Consort expressed himself, much gratified at the result of the late battles in the Crimea, and at which the allied troops came off victorious. The Hon. Richard Fitzroy Somerset, only surviving son of the noble lord, is still officiating as Pri vate Secretary to his Majesty the King of Hanover. LORD DOWNSHIRE.—We have heard with satisfaction that the Marquis of Downshire, upon a r epresentation being made to him of the melancholy case of the Trainers, who were lately drowned at the strand between Dun drum and Ballykiular, with exemplary kindness, re mitted the entire rent, payable at the Ist of November by their surviving relatives, amounting to OZ.—Down ,patricle Recorder. Lieut.-General his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge we hear, attended by the Hon. Major J. Mac , donald, embarked at Balaklava on the .12th ult., onhe board her Majesty's steam - frigate Retribution. Tfr Hon. Captain Drummond, en route , w e believe,o England, was on board during the fear ful storm of the 14th, and the frigate rode out the gale with the loss of two of her guns. The late Sir Alexander Clay Grant is succeeded by his brother, Sir Robert Innes Grant, seventh baronet, son of the fifth baronet by the daughter and heir of Jeremiah Cray, Esq., of Ibesley, Hants. Sir Robert was born at Malsanger House, in the same county, in 1796; and married, in 1825, the eldest daughter of C The or nelius Battelle, Esq., of the island of St. Croix. next heir is Sir Robert's son, Alexander, fellow of Oriel College, Oxford. Lord Courtenay, secretary to the Poor -law Board, will in all probability succeed the Right Hon. T. F. Kennedy, as Commissioner of Woods and Forests. Mr. Hayward, Q.C., will, we have reason to believe, have the secretaryship te the Poor-law Board, vacated by Lord Courtenay. ST. PETERSBURG.—On the 24th of November the thermometer at St. Petersburg was 20 degrees, Fahren heit, 10 degrees below freezing point. The Neva was closed, and the ice firm, as far as the iron bridge. wi T II II b AN C• SthFelittlaSsltirdCayoNosnoLwsh.TchFrtridaanysfenresa, can R th b e e B m th ad in e st., in Consols before the dividends.

THE "NAVVIES" FOR THE CRIMEA.—The number of railway navigators engaged for the construction of the i tram line from Balaklava to Sebastopol is about 500, 1 and they will sail immediately. Tan I.EsTuna MARKET.—In the leather market yes terday a large business was transacted at last week's prices. THE SHIP POLAR STAR.—Advices from St. Helena of the 21st of October mention the arrival of the Anna Mooka, having on board Captain Walker and the whole of the crew and passengers, 96 in number, of the ship Polar Star, which had been burnt at sea on the 4th of that month, bound from England to New Zealand. GRAND JUNOTION CANAL COMPANY. —At a meeting of this company, held yesterday, the dividend declared was 14 per cent. for the half-year, and the report was adopted. The low rates of tonnage, and the increased cost of horses, provender, and labour have unfavourably affected the revenue. LORD DALHOUSIE.—We believe we may announce authoritatively that the Governor-General has consented to retain his post for at least another year. We believe, also, that even those who have felt the weight of his censure—and he has no other enemies—will rejoice in this announcement. Even they will allow that the states man who conducted us through the Punjaub war is the best ruler for the empire in a European crisis,—that the financier who converted the Five per Cents. may well face the growing difficulties of the opium revenue, and that the author of the Railway Report is of all men the one best fitted to carry out the gigantic improve ments now in contemplation. For ourselves, we believe Lord Dalhousie's stay to be absolutely essential to the empire. The great projects which have been started re quire to bt matured by experience as well asintellectual ability, and the great difficulties to be faced are half obviated by the confidence the Executive reposes in the capacity of its chief. Above all, every year of his reign consolidates that unity which is the great political ne cessity of the empire.—Friendoflndia. If the knowledge of a disease be half its cure, Mr. Dufton, surgeon to the Birmingham Institution for the Relief of Deafness, may well be proud of the very flatter ing testimony paid to him at the recent meeting of the directors and subscribers to that praiseworthy institu tion. We understand that to Mr. Dnfton's strenuous exertions the metropolis of the midland county is solely indebted for the establishment of an hospital which has :afforded such inestimable relief 'to suffering humanity. Similar institutions ought to be encouraged in all large communities throughout the kingdom. THE SESSION OF PARLIAMENT.— The calling together Parliament at this unwonted season has alreafy had the effect of bringing a great many families of distinction to London, and more may be expected to arrive daily. The appearance of Regent-street and Bond-street is very dif ferent from that which is usually exhibited at this period of the year ; and there can be no doubt the trade of the metropolis must derive advantage from the presence of so many persons of mark, who, under ordinary circum stances, would at this season be preparing to enjoy their Christmas lL Ess ta festivities m rt .

FIRE NEAR DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—A fire, attended with considerabl e damage, broke out at a late hour on :Monday • night in the large range of p remises belonging to Messrs. R. and E. Foulkes, l• 3, Little inendrapers, No. 2 and Russell-court, Drury-lane. It was caused by the gas, which set the under side of tho counter in a blaze, and the fire extended completely round the shop. The engines of Drury-lane Theatre, the parish, and two of the London Brigade, and that of the West of England Office, quickly attended, and a good supply of water ha • ving been obtained all hands went to work, but the fire could not be extinguished until the whole of the costly stock in trade was considerably damaged.

But the grand consideration for our representa tives is this—What ought, on the very principles with which they and the country began this war, to b e its ultimate aim ? Happily, as indeed every be liever in public morality and a Supreme PROVI DMIC/C must be well assured, in this case duty and policy are one. We began with justice for Turkey, and safety for Turkey. This justifies all we did, or rather endured, at Varna, and all we have done, and are doing, in the Crimea. But not only do the same moral principles apply to Poland—nob. only is justice to her tenfold more urgent in its claims, but if it be not demanded and gained we might almost as well have thrown all our labour to the winds, and our money into the sea. Russia stript of her marine fortresses, and compelled to seek vent from her aggressive spirit through the one out let of Poland, would be more formidable to Europe than ever. Resting on Warsaw, and using all the fortresses of Germany as the arms of an enormous military polypus, she would seriously threaten France. Our Ally can least of all dispense with a reconstituted. Poland, for Rus sia, when saved the expense of Cronstadt, Sebas topol, and her navies—at liberty therefore to spend all her means on increasing her purely military strength—could, if still possessed of Pcland, hold all Germany completely at her mercy.. The Rhine would, in fact, be her boundary. If now Austria and Prussia, with 800,000 soldiers, quail before her inland power, what would they do if she were enabled to multiply that power at least twofold ? We maintain that Austria and Prussia are bound by every selfish considera tion, and. no other are they accessible to, to reconstitute Poland ; that is, if the Allies, as they fully intend to do, annihilate the naval power of Russia. England and. France assuredly ought to contemplate no other alternative. If they are but thoroughly and manifestly determined, the German trimmers will instantly follow in their wake. If they wish to convince these wretched potentates that they are in earnest, then immense and adequate preparations are the only diplomacy which will speak effectually at Vienna and Ber lin ; and if adequate preparations are to be made, a loan is a necessity, and a very near one. This, then, is, we hope, the view our Legisla tors will take. Cabinet journals may croak about the numerous armies of Austria and Prussia, and the danger of driving them over to Russia. The danger is a bugbear. They dare not join Russia or they would have done it long ago. To join Russia would be to renew 1848, to shiver their despot isms for ever, and lucky for them if they escaped this time with their heads on their shoulders. A declaration of Polish rights, coupled with adequate preparations, would compel the conceited waverers of mid-Europe to join the cause of justice and of Continental safety. Tenderness over brutal Austria and imbecile Prussia will but waste our time, our money, and our strength, in a vain attempt to coax rogues into honesty. Let us understand our work, and arm ourselves up to it, and all will be right. There can be but little doubt that if the na tional resources be duly and properly developed we shall be enabled to meet fairly not only every just demand, but to carry on the War with so much vigour and energy as to insure the success which every true-hearted Englishman earnestly desires. There is no reason whatsoever for desponding, if we only determine to set cur shoulder to the wheel ; and to prove that what ever may be the feeling of Ministers, the com munity at large, the PEOPLE of Great Britain, are thoroughly in earnest. When we look to what has been already accomplished by our fathers, even within the recollection of many still living, we should blush for ourselves if we gave way to any craven fears or unmanly apprehensions, or became—as it was prophesied we should be by some would-be seers—disgusted with the War on account of the severe burdens we had to sustain. It is almost certain that with many of these poli tical prophets " the wish was father to the thought ;" and we are by no means satisfied that the abstraction of 8,000,000/. sterling from the Exchequer on the eve of the War—which was hailed as " a valuable financial demonstration" by a Ministerial organ—as well as the determination to provide for all the extra expenditure of the War out of the current income of the country, were not parts and parcel of the sane desire. We know that in 1814, after almost uninter rupted hostilities for more than twenty years, while the nation was sustaining the most onerous burdens and engaged in a struggle for existence, we were enabled to collect a revenue of no less than 71,134,5031., while the expenditure ex ceeded 92,000,0001. sterling. But this gigantic outlay was not in vain. Within another year peace was restored, in consequence of the exer- tion—a peace which lasted for thirty-nine years, and which would have been distinguished by unalloyed prosperity, but for the bullionist delu sions that prevailed throughout the entire period. These delusions increased with the practical expe rience of the evils that resulted from their being carried into practical operation, and a quarter of a century later the climax was put to the " folly of the day," by not merely insisting on a currency convertible on demand, as provided by the Act of 1819, but restricted in amount, and so arranged that the quantity should be diminished in the inverse ratio of the exigencies of the people. This was the impolitic and inequitable Act of 1844, which has paralysed the efforts of the people, and stagnated the life-blood in the veins of industry, since it unfortunately received the Legislative sanction. Through its baleful operation the nation en dared. the most fearful trials. Although peace and tranquillity prevailed throughout the entire civilised world, it was subjected to burdens scarcely less onerous than those sustained during the time of actual war. Taxes were abolished or mitigated, but the weight of those that remained became even more intolerable in consequence of the in creased value of the pound sterling, or, what is a convertible term, the diminished remuneration for every description of labour—skilled or unskilled. In 1814 we had a population of nearly NINETEEN millions. They cheerfully and freely made up a revenue of nearly 72,000,0001., or not far fr4om 41. for every individual, male or female, adult or infant, of the entire number. Since that time the population has increased to nearly Twenty. nine Millions, or rather more than 50 per cant. ! It naturally follows that the revenue should have unproved iu a similar ra tio, and that (omitting i from the calculation the increased intelligence of which we are so fond of boasting) we should now be enabled to obtain from revenue nearly 108,000,0001. sterling.ln place of thi s wo can t procure little more than half the amou n t. The wenty-nine millions of ► the present day think they are doing a great deal in providing some 56,000,0001. in the way of revenue—without any public loan—which, if we are to credit the new school of political economists, is even more injurious to the industrious classes than raising money by actual taxation ! ! These matters appear very strange indeed, but a clue to the seeming mystery can easily be ob tained. At that period we had a circulating medium adapted to the wants and exigencies of the people. The notes of the Bank of England in the hands of the public were then nearly Twnrrr-rivE MILLIoNs (24,801,0801.), while of private banks they were 22,700,000/., in all 47,501,0801. while the total circulation in England, in September last, of all bank paper—whether emanating from the Bank of England, private, or Joint-Stock Banks —was only 26,196,3321., and that of the whole of the United Kingdom only. 36,840,6061. ! ! ! Thus, with an increase of population of more than 50 per cent., we have a decrease of the circulating medium in nearly an inverse ratio. At that period there were notes in circulation amounting to about 31. 10s. per head, for the entire popu- lation, and the revenue collected was about 41. per head, which was raised without difficulty. Now the notes in circulation are less than 11. Bs. per head, and we are with difficulty enabled to collect 21. per head of the population. These simple facts require no arguments to enhance their impertance. They speak trumpet tongued to every unprejudiced person. If our representatives are true to themselves, to their constituents, and the country, they will profit by the knowledge, and endeavour to ascertain why it is that the people are not now capable of equal exertions to those so freely made in 1814, and what it is that prevents them from doing 10. The great element of their former power being dis covered, we may easily avail ourselves of the benefit of past experience, with such improvements as modern science may enable us to add. One thing is certain, that the present monetary system prevents the possibility of eau . . tions similar to those made by the people of Eng land in the beginning of the present century, and which enabled them to succeed in all their under takings. The most popular journals of Glasgow are not a whit behind those of Liverpool and Birming. ham in their censure of the existing monetary policy of this country. The Scottish Reformers' Gazette pithily affirms that " the foreign war, which drew specie from this country during the administration of Pitt, was not a more formidable enemy than our British industry has in a foreign trade which drains us of the precious metals." This is the lesson which experience teaches in all the great hives of industry, and it is a pitiable thing to see the ignorant obstinacy with which persons in the situation of statesmen cling to what they call the " discoveries of modern science" in defiance of the evidence afforded by events that their boasted science is a delusion, and the policy arising from it a blight upon the prosperity of the country. The Glasgow Examiner, in support of its opposition to Sir Robert Peel's monetary policy, quotes an address from Sir Robert Peel's father to the members of both Houses of Parlia ment, dated in 1826. The sound practical wis dom of the currency question could not be better stated than it is in this address .: " My Lords and Gentlemen,—Will you permit an old man to address you on the subject of our currency I I sat in Parliament thirty years, during which time I ire. quently 'heard this important question di/mussel' in the house by Mr. Pitt, Mr. Fox, and other distinguished characters. Oa passing the Bank Restriction Act, I was entrusted by the merchants and citizens of London to present their petition against the measure. Though my opinions were embodied in their case, my best endeavours t• save them were not successful Having been long and extensively engaged in commercial dealings, I often witnessed a national embarrassment arising from a defective and impure currency, which resembled the present stagnation in trade ; and I lament to observe that sufferings and experiences have failed, in this instance, of producing their usual effects. In the enlarged scale of business carried on by this country, embracing a great variety of pursuits, a reliance on a metallic circulation alone ever did, and ever will, fail us. Gold, th _ugh in itself massy, often disappears in conse quence of war or speculation. Nay, the breath of ru mour itself is sufficient to disperse it. Our domestic concerns are interrupted, and confidence lost, for want of an ample and improved medium of traffic. I am no friend to an unrestrained issue of paper-money, and saw with concern, in the absence of a due quantity of specie, bills admitted into circulation by persons of respectability possessing property, but evidently unable to meet a sud den and large demand upon them. More than two years ago I mentioned to a friend high in her Majesty's councils my fears of the mischief likely to ensue if the practice were not discontinued, accompanied with a suggestion to confine future issues of paper money, or tokens, to the Bank of England, and other competent bodies of men, who would . give security in land, the public funds, ca nals, buildings, or other tangible property, amounting at least to one-half the value of their bills or tokens in circulation. My proposition was not favoured with any notice ; yet, had it been adopted, I am of opinion that most of the panic and distress now so severely felt in the nation would have been avoided. If such an improvement "I am, my Lords and Gentlemen, " Your faithful and obedient servant, " ROBERT PEEL. in the banking system could be madd available, gold would become less requisite, and the country be supplied with a stationary medium of exchange originating with ourselves. The present panic and distress in the country have been declared by high authority to proceed from " over trading" and " wild speculation." Infant nations and establishments are liable to miscarry from want of experience and solidity. Trading and speculation, being natives of this island, and parents of our wealth and in dependence, are surely exempt from such an impu. tation. The same authority has declared, "gold and paper money are incompatible with each other, and cannot exist together." The population and trade of the empire being muck increased, a proportionate increase in the medium of circulation is called for ; and when gold is found insufficient recourse must be had,to paper, which, if improved on the principle already sug gested, the two substances would be found in the same pocket without disunion. A.uxious to see our situation ameliorated, I trust the currency may be mended with out changing or impairing the national commercial cha racter, which measure, if resorted to, would resemble the policy of diverting from its course a powerful river that had long given fertility and happiness to a large district, merely because, from excessive rains, it had some times exceeded its natural limits, and produced partial injury. " Drayton Manor, April 3, 1826." Such were the views of a man of most remark able practical sagacity, who, by good sense, in dustry, and well-directed enterprise, made the fortune which the present Sir Robert Peel enjoys. INSTANT RELIEF FOR THE WOUNDED We stated, the other day, that a simple plan had been suggested for the immediate relief of the wounded by Mr. Roger, her Majesty's army con tractor, whereas the credit of the plan was exclu sively due to Dr. Cosine Logie, surgeon, of the Royal Horse Guards—a gentleman who has kindly favoured us with a sight of the invention, which is at once ingenious and simple. It is this Each coat to contain a large piece of lint, a quantity of thread on a card for ligatures, four yards of unbleached linen bandage, enclosed in oil silk, tied up with tope, and placed in a long pocket extending from nape of the neck to the loins, down the hollow of the back. In addition to this, Dr. Logie has prepared a pouch for carrying instruments, which every medical man would do well to have. CAPTAIN CAFFIN AND THE SPHYNX.--A contemporary, in speaking of the appointment of Captain 11. Austin, C. 8., to the Victualling Yard at Deptford, said that he was the officer who saved her Majesty's ship Sphynx from the rocks at the back of the Isle of Wight in 1848. This is a mistake. Tho Sphynx was saved mainly by the suggestions and plans of Captain J. Crawford Caffin, who commanded the Scourge at the time. THE BALTIC. A Hamburg letter of the Ist inst., published by the Indeliendance Beige, says : "An English steam-corvette had been sent some days ago from Kiel, by Admiral Napier, into the Baltic, to recal the different war steamers still cruising in that sea. 'That corvette having met none of those ships in her passage from Kiel to the Prussian har bours, entered Memel on the 26th ult. Her Captain, having landed, addressed a despatch, through the British Consul in that harbour, to Admiral Napier, to inform him of that circumstance. The opinion was that the commanders of the ships of the squadron had deemed it prudent not to venture singly into that sea, and that they were assembled in some neutral port, whence they could watch the movements of the Rus sian vessels. Nevertheless our letters from Kiel an nounce that yesterday two war steamers, coming from the Baltic, had joined the fleet at that anchorage, and that the entire squadron is expected there in a faw days." FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY EVENPSG• Tho following private telegraphic despatches have been received during the day : " VIENNA, 4th.—The Austrian Correspondence of this evening states that the moral alliance between Austria, France, and England has become a fact ; that it tends to the restoration of peace, and leads to the presumption that the just demands addressed to Russia will be com plied with without reserve." " BERLIN, sth. Accounts from Vienna state, with reference to the treaty signed on the 2d between Austria and the Western Powers, that if within three months Russia have not accepted the four points of guarantee, the treaty will come into force." " COPENHAGEN, 4th.—The Kin , has [accepted the resignation of the Ministers ; but they will continue the conduct of public business until the appointment of their successors." _ _ " HAMBURG, sth.—According to the general result, as far as it is known of the Danish elections, they are all anti-Ministerial. The Council of Ministers imme diately assembled at the palace." Imperial decrees, dated yesterday, nominate M. Troplong, First President of the Court of Cassation, Senator, President of the Senat e f or 1855 ; M. Mesnard, First Vice-President ; and M. Drouyn de Lhuys, Marshal _Baraguay d'Hil hers, and General Count Regnault de S a i n t Jeand.'Angely, Vice-President of the Senate for 1855 ; M. Schneider and 111. Revell, deputies, Tice-Presidents of the Legislative Body ; and General Vast Vimeux and M. Hebert, questors of the same body, also for 1855. By another Impe rial decree, of the same date, the following gentle men are raised to the dignity of Senators :—Count Hector do Beam, Minister Plenipotentiary ; M. Billault, Minister of the Interior ; Count Jules de Grossolles-Flamarens, Prince Joseph Michael Po niatowsky, General de Division Prevost, M. Tou rangin, Councillor of State ; and M. Vaisse Coun cillor of State. Baron Leon de Bussiere, Master of Requests of the first class in the Council of State, and Count de Rouge, member of the Institute, and one of the keepers of the Imperial Museums, have been appointed Councillors of State in ordi nary service. M. Richard, Master of Requests of the second class in Council, has been appointed a master of the first class ; M. Robert, auditor of the first class, a master of requests of the second class ; and M. Le Roy, auditor of the second class, audi tor of the first class. The Constitutionnel has the following private telegraphic despatch, dated Bucharest, the 3d : " The telegraph has been i n operation since yester day. The Turks are forti f y in g Marschineni. Omer Pacha is about to leave Bucharest." Mars c hi nen i is a small town in Wallachia, to the north o f Bu charest, and half way toFokchany, on the great road to Moldavia. An Imperial decree, pUblished in the Bulletin des Loi, opens, from the budget of 1854, a new ex t r aordinary credit of 25,700,000 fr. to eet the expenses of the war in the East, and particularly the cost of sending out two new divisions. A sum of 12,250,000 fr. is appropriated to pay and sup port of troops, and the remainder to stores of vari ous kinds. On the proposition of the Minister of Public In struction and Worship, M. Gautier, Senator, has been nominated President of the Central Council of Reformed Churches, in the room of Admiral Baudin, deceased, and General d'Autheville, De puty in the Legislative Body, is named.member of the said Council. Tho Minister of Public Instruction 'and Worship opened yesterday the session of the Imperial Coun cil of Public Instruction. He submitted to the Council, with the necessary explanations, various drafth of regulations, relative to the execution of the law of the 14th June, 1854, and the organie decrees of the 22d August. The Moniteur announces that M. Vaisse, just named a Senator, is to remain charged with the administration of the department of the Rhone. We read in the Moniteeur:— "The English transport Black, with troops, wa s, in the evening of the 26th ult,, in danger of being lost from stress of weather in one of the bays of the coast of Africa, near the forelands of Caballo and Ceuta. The Consul of France at Gibraltar was informed of this circumstance, and, in the absence of the English steamer which gene rally stations in the roadsted, the steam corvette of the Imperial navy, the Newton, commanded by Captain Huguteau de Challi6, sailed immediately to the spot, and in spite of the state of the sea and the critical position of the Black, succeeded in towing her in safety to the roadsted ot Gibraltar. Captain de Challie for his serces on this occasion received the thanks of Captain Grey of the British navy, Director of the Arsenal." The Pays publishes the following correspondence from the camp before Sebastopol : " Nov. IS.—The different services of the army are perfectly well organised. Provisions are distributed as regularly as if we were in France. The soldiers receive two days out of three excellent fresh bread and good meat ; sugar, coffee, and brandy are included in the dis tributions. It is easy to perceive that the Emperor does not lose sight of us, and every day numerous marks of his solicitude are bestowed on the army. Some days ago several hogsheads of old wine and brandy, sent by the Emperor, were landed here. Nov. 19.—We have in oitr camp several Polish de serters, most of whom, belonging to respectable families, well educated, and intelligent. Forced into the army, and ill-treated by the Russians, they have sought refuge among us. The information they have given as to the offensive, defensive, political, and other conditions Of the army and garrison of Sebastopol agree pretty nearly with the result of the observations of our officers, arid will prove very useful;" "Nov: 20.—1 went to visit to-day the wounded Rus sians, who, being unable to walk, have not yet been re moved from the camp: I was not attracted by mere ca riosity. I had my canteen full of rum and water, and e supply of biscuit for the poor fellows in my bag, which I distributed among them." BOURSE, YESTERDAY.—CLOSING PRICES. Cash. fr. e.

THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL. CAPTURE OF A RUSSIAN REDOUBT OF NINE GUNS BY THE ENGLISH. VIENNA, TUESDAY MORNING. The Lloyd contains the following, dated Sebas topol, November 25 , " The Russians made a sortie, and were repulsed by the English. While pursuing the enemy, the English got possession of a battery of nine guns, which they maintain. " The transport of Turkish reinforcements from Baltschik to the Crimea continues. " A. hundred and forty-six ship guns have been landed by the Allies, and will be employed in the siege." An English Regiment, from the Piraeus, arrived on the 20th, and the next day detachments from the Guards, Ist, 7th, 23d, and 95th Regiments, to the number of 1,200 men, landed at Balaklaya. The Journal de St. Petersbourg, of the 28th ult., announces that Prince Menschikoff, writing on the 18th of November, reports the damage done by the storm to have been very great among the shipping of the Allies all along the Crimean coast. The fire of the batteries grew weaker and weaker each day, and the approaches of the enemy were entirely suspended. The Russian loss for several days had only been four killed and 14 wounded. The English had attempted to establish them selves near the head of the dockyard, but had been repulsed with loss. We have received the following communication from our correspondent' at Berlin, dated last night : " A despatch from St. Petersburg of the sth inst. mentions that Prince Menschikoff, writing on the 27th ult., states : " ' The Allies continue their bombardment of Sebostopol, but their fire is weak, and causes us scarcely any loss or damage. " It is obvious that they are strengthening their position and establishing new batteries, but the fire of the latter has not yet opened.' " THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE. VIENNA, MONDAY EVENING. The following will probably be found correct : " The convention concluded on Saturday was a triple alliance. The last article in the Anglo- French treaty of alliance was that the other Euro pean Powers should be at liberty to accede to it, and Austria has now done so. The sense of the treaty probably is : "1. That Austria has engaged to consider every violation of the Turkish territory by Rus sia as equivalent to a declaration of war against herself. " 2. That Austria will reinforce her army in the Principalities, so that Omer Pacha may at once begin operations, the Imperial troops re maining as a kind of reserve. " 3. At the demand of the Western Powers Austria will place 15,000 or 25,000 men at Varna, which, in case of need, can be sent to the Crimea. "4. England and France pledge themselves that the territorial possessions of the Emperor of Austria shall, under all circumstances, remain un. diminished." • There is a secret article. After the triple alliance has beeu ratified Prussia will be invited to accede to it. The Ost Deutsche Post has the following " Report says that Russia will now be sum moned, unconditionally, to accede to certain con ditions within one month. If she refuses, Aus- tria declares war." We have also received the following despatch, dated last night, from Paris : "It is confidently stated that the - time accorded to Russia to declare her intentions by the three Powers who have signed the treaty of the 2d of December is only a ,month." A despatch from Warsaw announces that the Ist Corps of Russian infantry is being concentrated on the left bank of the Vistula, and that the corps of Paniutin is marching towards Volhynia and Podolia. A telegraphic despatch from Madrid, dated yesterday evening, announces that 146 deputies, against 40, had declared that the Ministry of the Duke of Victoria deserves the confidence of the Cortes. THE BALTIC FLEET. KIEL, DEC. 4 Her Majesty's steam line-of-battle ships Duke of Wellington, _Royal George, Nile, Hogue, and Blenheim, and five smaller war steamers, are at this port. Yesterday the Majestic and Cressy sailed for England. RUSSIA. We (Independance Belge) received to-day (the Ist instant) a letter from Odessa of the 22d ult. The inhabitants of that city were afraid that if the Allies were obliged to abandon the Crimea, they would disembark with all their land and sea forces on the opposite shore. The Anglo-French army might certainly, without any very serious difficulty, find at Odessa a shelter against the rigours of the season, and excellent winter quarters. The Russian military commissariat still devised means to forward from different points of the coast, in light vessels, some provisions for the army in the Crimea. It was known, however, that the troops in the field suffered from a want of sup plies. The most pressing orders had reached Odessa from St. Petersburg, enjoining the authori ties to organise a double permanent communi cation with the Crimea so as to insure a regular supply of provisions for the army. The Neva was entirely frozen over at St. Petersburg on the 25th ult. All the works in the forts situate at its mouth, on the sea-side, and those constructing on the islands in front of that capital, had been sus pended on account of the winter. The Emperor, by a recent rescript addressed to the superior offi cers of the engineering department, had expressed to them his satisfaction with the zeal and intelli gence they had displayed in the execution of those works. A letter from Kalisch of the 30th ult., in the Lloyd of Vienna, states that the Russian Govern ment is daily throwing fresh troops into Poland to replace those who had been ordered to the Crimea. A Vienna letter states that the Russian Baron do MosUtz, who had lne4 f9r 69122 e tilAo at Vienna, endeavouring to induce capitalists to sub scribe to the Russian loan, has taken his departure after having failed in all his efforts. A Vienna letter of the Ist, in Tross's Gazette of Berlin, says:—" The French Ambassador Baron de Bourqueney had, on the 27th ult., an audience of the Emperor, in which he congratulated his Ma jesty on the understanding with Prussia,- which, he said, was perfectly satisfactory to France." A letter from Frankfort of the 30th ult., in the Monitcur, says :—" The additional article to the Austro-Prussian treaty has been pre sented to-day to the Diet. The committee on East ern affairs has been charged to examiLe it. It is not doubted that the Federal adhesion will be given to the provisions, so eminently German, which this supplement to the treaty .of the 20th April defines and consecrates." The same journal quotes the following from the Wescr Gazette : "From the protecting language with which Russia shows herself disposed to accept the four guaran tees, it would be really believed that she acts with compassion for Germany, and with the sole inten tion of putting an end to the discussions of the Diet cf Frankfort." It is stated in a letter from Jassy of the 21st ult. that the Hetman (Minister of the War) Th. Baltch has been replaced by M. G. Ladesco, who is more favourable to the cause of the Ottoman Porte. As a proof, says the Suabian, Mercury, that Saxony is making preparations for war it may be mentioned that the contingent has been called out for the 30th Deo. For many years past it has not been called for before April. It has been stated by telegraph that the Aus trian Government had put an end to the state of siege in Transylvania. We learn from Vienna that from the 15th inst. the decree is to be put in force. It orders that all cases not military now under the ju r i s di c ti on o f m ili tary tr ib una l s s h a ll b e tried by the regular civil - tribunals. The Augsburg Gazette states from Vienna that the Austrian troops arriving from the south are to be encamped near Tulu, on the Danube, not afar from Vienna. These troops will be augmented by other corps, and will form an army of 50,000 men with 200 pieces of cannon. It was stated by the Agram Gazette that the Prince of Montenegro had been summoned to Vienna. This it seems was erroneous. The Prince has been at Trieste on a visit to a Greek merchant, whose daughter he is to marry. He left on the 30th ult. to return home. A. letter from Stockholm, of the 24th ult., says: —" The majority of the Orders voted an increase on the importation of foreign spirits ; but in con formity with the wishes of the Government, the committee of subsidies has rejected it by a large majority." PRUSSIA. - MERLIN, Dee. 3.—The Spenersehe Zeitung of to day says "The arrangement arrived at between . Prussia and Austria with regard to the treatment of the Eastern ques tion at the Bund, together with the position which Russia has taken up vis-a-vis the guarantees required, thrusts the question prominently into the foreground, whether the preservation of peace in Central Europe will be pos sible. That the Government of Prussia has made the paciftic solution of the Eastern question the end and aim of its exertions, is notorious ; the Cabinet of Vienna has also, as i s now understood in well-informed circles, declared itself satisfied as soon as Russia seriously binds herself to the adoption and realisation of the guarantees. To judge by the language of the English and French journals we may look forward to a rejection of all nego tiations on this basis." The Correspondenz Bureau states " The Austrian Government has within the last few days given to understand that a resumption of the con ference of Representatives at Vienna would be very agreeable to-it. It is beyond doubt that Prussia would gladly enough see a renewal of the deliberations of the Representatives of the Four Powers in Vienna. The Representatives of France and Eigland in the Austria;n capital are understood, in consequence of an apphcatio n made to them by Graf Buol, to have applied to their respective Governments for instructions." The first of these is an officieux inspiration of the Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the second a direct instruction from an Austrian authority. The was severe contests in the Second Cham ber yesterdap. The liberal Count Schwerin has' been elected President of the Chamber by a majorit of 58, in a house of 256 members. M. Bethmann- Hollweg, loader of the constitutional conservative opposition and anti-Russian party, has obtained the second vice presidency, defeating the feudalist candidate, M. Geyr, by 12 votes. The first vice presidency was obtained by M. Arnim, a member of the Right. His opponent was a member of the catholic Left. THE UNITED STATES. LIVERPOOL, Wednesday. This morning+ a eight a.m., the United States mail steam - sh i p Atlantic, Captain West, which was to leave New York on the 25th ult., arrived off Great Orme g Head. She is expected to arrive in the river about twelve at noon, with the mails and four days laterintelligence from the United States. SAILING SHIPS FOR TROOPS TO Tia BLACK SEA. St. George, 120, Captain Eyres, C. 8., was paid 14 .! Devonport four months' wages on account, and will S an perhaps to-day for Queenstown, to embark with 660 troops and 100 tons of stores for the Black Sea. Th ls , ship has been in the Baltic this summer. She has. n ?' carried troops, but the Royal William, 120, Captain Kingcome, also at Plymouth, has been fitted, and ba s conveyed troops to the Baltic this year. The policyo r prudence of sending a sailing three-decker ship policy. troops to the Black Sea at this season of the year m a y fairly be questioned, when it is seen that even acrow steam-ships are not safe in the Euxine. THE HUTS FOR THE FRENCH TROOPS- "We have spoken," says the Patrie, "of come small wooden houses which had been put up in the reserved galleries of the Tuileries. They were models which the Emperor had ordered to be brought there in order to examine which appeared best suited as regarded shelter and solidity. One of the models was chosen for our troops is the Crimea ; and we learn that on the propo sition of the Minister of War, a contract has been en' tered into, and which will be executed with such promp titude that between this and the end of the month sufficient number to shelter all our army, both men and horses, will be constructed and sent to the Crimea." THE LATE STORM---THE PRINCE AND HIMA LA YA. The underwriter at Lloyd's, and the marine assurance offices appear to have had a very fortunate escape in connection with the destructive storm of the 13th ult. in the Black Sea. They had granted a time policy on the large steam-ship Prince, ,the value of which was very great, but it seems to have expired four days prior to the loss of her, and Government having become the purchasers of the vessel for public account had, as is usually the case, become their own underwriters. The time policy, applicable to the Himalaya, will not, we understand, expire until after the close of the year. The loss the underwriters and offices will sustain by the wreck of so many transports cannot fail to be heavy but, for the present, Government do not pretend to be able to satisfy them as to the extent of it. THE INDEMNITY , TO BE PAID BY _RUSSIA. A letter from a well-informed quarter in Paris con ' tains the followin g :—" O ne of the greatest difficulti es in negotiations for peace will probably be the pecuniary indemnity to be p a id b y R uss i a ; f or on t hi s p o int th e people of France and England, who have paid the elc penses of the war, must be listened to by th e ir Govern ments. Russia, however, is bou n d t o pay, for she b all caused the war, and we do not see how her Goternree n 4 can dispute the right or pl ea d i na bili ty o f execution. for Emperor of Rus s i a can ma k e hi s su bj ec ts pay I°l. the maintenance of his present army, and the 900,000 men whom he pret en d s h e can a dd to i t, t h ose subjec t° being in the meantime deprived of the means of repair ing their losies by agriculture and commerce, he c 1 “/ make them pay for peace, and they would no doubt, is this case, pay much more cheerfully." THE RUSSIANS AND THEIR DEAF• A letter from the French camp before Sebastopol, dated the 18th, alludes as follows to the siege As to the siege, the military operations are going regularly The men are working, observing, turning the earth, an waiting for a favourable occasion to strike the grand blow.
