THE WAR.

Letters from several parts of Germany inform no
that the cabinets of Berlin and Vienna are severally
treating with the secondary states of Europe with
opposite ends. The Prussian government is in am
mnaication with Holland, Denmark, Sweden, and
other states, endeavouring to engage them to neu-
trality in the present war, while that of Austria is
—or rather was until Friday last—trying to secure
the adhesion of the same states to the treaty of
Dec. 2.

Prince Gortehakoff announced on Monday to
Count Beol that he had been informed from St.
Petersburg by telegraph that his powers would be
renewed; the new Emperor recognising the declara-
tions made at Vienna in the name of hie late father.
The Prince intimated that he expected to be in fuller
possession of the views of hie government by the end
of the week, when his supplementary instructions
would arrive.
Lord John Russell and Lord Westmoreland have
had an interview with Count Buol.

Councillor Meysenbnrg, of the Vienna Foreign-
office, is appointed to act as protocolist of the Vienna
Conference, a position similar to that which Gentz
occupied at the Vienna Congress of 1815. M. Mey-
eenburg is spoken of as a man of keen and perspi-
cacious intellect, and great political knowledge.
Letters from Paris speak of an analysis, trans-
milted by telegraph, of a manifesto said to have been
issued by the Emperor Alexander 11., in which the
new Emperor proclaims that he will follow with
filial respect the policy of his father, into which he
was years since initiated. We have no guarantee of
the fairness or authenticity of this alleged analysis.
A despatch from St. Petersburg of the 3rd states that
on the morning of that day Count Panin proceeded
to the cabinet in which the late Emperor used to
write, and in presence of the new sovereign placed
all the papers under seal.
A German contemporary states that Bavaria has
proposed to the Germanic Diet that, instead of
placing all the federal army under one commander,
the Austrian contingent shall be commanded by an
Austrian general, the Prussian contingent by a
Prussian, and the other contingents by another ge-
neral—probably a Bavarian.
The Omit.. Mercantile of Genoa states that pre-
parations are being made at Constantinople for the
organisation of a military hospital for the Pied-
montres troops. The medical staff and the Sisters of
Charity that are to minister there were to leave
Genoa in a few days.
e The following telegraphic despatch has been re-
ceived from Vienna, dated March 5 :—" An order of
the day issued by the Emperor, dated yesterday,
states, in gratitude for the service rendered with such
noble einpreszernent by the Emperor of Russia at •
time of trial and misfortune, the regiment of Cuiras-
siers of tho Emperor Nicholas should ever preserve
the name of Nicholas, as an external souvenir for the
Austrian army."

PARIS, TIMADAT RTININO.
The following telegraphic despatches have reached
Paris to-day :

'Lamborn, Monday.

The provinces of Miosk and Mohilew have been declared
It a state of siege, and Tchernigo has been placed ander the
orders of the commandant of the active army Prince
Paskiewitch.

Marseilles, s:b.

Artillery, bones, and ammunition continue to be em-
barked. Since Saturdey twenty-dye transports aro loading.
The corvette Tonnerre sailed yesterday, the packet Euphrates
to-day, having on board • number of English officer•, and •
printing press. Six other packets, three of them English,
are preparing to embark troops. The Llugasr, which left
Constantinople on the 22nd, carrying the letter bags, had
not arrived thin evening. The Bysantin, which left on the
same day, announce, that Omer Penh& had gone to the
camp before Sebastopol to bays • conference with the
commander of the allied armies. The Bysantie and the
Infernal, which have also arrived, have on board a number
of invalids.

A Bucharest letter of February 23, in the Condi-
tutionsel, states that the Austrian army has received
orders to hold itself in readiness to take the field.
General Coronini, in pursuance of special instructions,

wu preparing to march upon °alai: and Braila as
soon u the weather would permit. His corps
donnee was to be replaced in Wallachia by the army
of from 30,000 to 40,000 men now occupying Tran-
sylvania. •Unless, therefore, any counter orders
have been given, a collision between the Austrian and
Russian troops may happen almost immediately.
In the Moats there is a long description of the
respective situations of the belligerent parties in the
Crimea, such u they will probably be found in when
the intelligence of the Czar's death reaches them.
This journal estimates at 130,000 men the total of the
Eoglish, French, and Turkish troops in the whole of
the peninsula of the Chersoneau, and fixes at 100,000
at the very utmost the forces of the Russians, inclu-
ding the garrison of Sebastopol. The Russian gene-
rals consequently cannot disree of more than from
60,000 to 70,000 men for any stratagetical operation,
and that fact, the Debaes thinks, may explain their
complete inaction since the attack on Inkermann,
where upwards of 40,000 Russians were beaten back
with such enormous lose.

The Bourse was agitated all day, and the fluctua-
tions were considerable. The Emperor Alexander
Il.'s manifesto, as described by the Independance
Beige, was considered very warlike. The effect of
this was, however, to a certain degree, attenuated in
the minds of many by the news that Prince ()Wachs-
koff and M. Titoff have already received new powers
to take part in the Vienna conferences. The uncer-
tainty relative to the Emperor Napoleon's
project of going to the Crimea is an element
of hesitation which weigh. upon all financial opera-
tions. The Rente, alter being as low as 69fr. 20c.,
recovered very rapidly at the close, finishing at
70fr. ba, with a fall of 35e. St. Germain railway fell
17fr. 600. ; Orleans, 12fr., and almost all the lines
were lower.

Several hawkers were arrested yesterday and
to-day for crying in the streets some doggrel verses
on the death of the Emperor Nicholu. It is said
they will be prosecuted, the French government
wishing to make a demonstration of respect for the
dead.
