THE AUSTRIAN ALLIANCE.

The correspondent of the /*dependance Beige has
the following important observations on the subject
of the Austrian alliance: " I am happy to inform
you that the relations of the Western Powers with
Austria are as satisfactory as can be desired. I will
even add that, as far u Austria is concerned, the
situation is better now than it was before the dis-
agreement which took plus some months ago. This
may seem paradoxical at the first view. It is true,
indeed, that Austria disagreed with her Allies
on an essential point of the alliance, and
it was natural to suppose that, when even
after the intimaucy was renewed between
the Three Powers, some ill-feeling was left
behind. The alliance, before the month of May, was
baud on the treaty of Dec. 2, and was no doubt serious
and sincere on both sides. But the sth Article of
that treaty which foresaw, without explicitly defin-
ing it, the eventuality of the military co-operation
of Austria, contained the germ of a future oomph-
cation. The question was often asked, what Austria
would do, when the case foreseen by the treaty had
in reality taken place, and whether she would take
the same view of that cue as the other powers. The
disagreement which followed on the question of
interpretation showed that there was reason for
putting such a question. But that doubt no longer
exists : the question is now clear and precise. The
Western Powers, having heard the reasons assigned
by Austria to justify her abstention from military
co-operation with them, thought that they ought not
to abandon the alliance because Austria did not put
the same interpretation as themselves upon an essen-
tial point of the treaty. It was therefore necessary,
from the moment it was thought desirable to
maintain the alliance, to put an end to the real cool-
ness which bad existed, and to prevent in tu-
tor* any similar cause of embarrassment. The

Three Powers are now engaged upon this
work with equal loyalty and zeal on both
sides; and Austria, moreover, has made the negotia-
tion Noy by readily declaring that the special and
limited disagreement which she had announced
should in no way affect her sentiments
and relations on the subject of the alliance,
to the spirit and letter of which she still re-
mained faithful. On this ground communica-
tion. and explanations have been exchanged
between the Three Powers, which have re-
sulted in new arrangements and new engagements
which may be considered as additions to the treaty.
Every thing is defined with precision so as
to meet all eventualities. Each of the con-
tracting powers can now reckon upon its allies in
perfect confidence and entire security. Thu we
can say that the alliance between Austria and the
Western Powers is now stronger, more secure, more
easy in its application, and more intimate, than it was
at the first period."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

FROM ova OWN

PARIS. THURSDAY BURNING.

I learn from a priests source in which I have con-
fident* that M. Delacour, the French ambassador at
Naples, lately asked for an audience of
King Ferdinand, which was refused on the
plea that his Majesty was " indisposed." Thereupon,
if my information is correct, M. Delacour called upon
the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and left with him a
sort of ultimatum, stating at the same time that if
the requisitions therein contained were not complied
with within the space of fifteen days, he should be
under the necessity of demanding his passports. It
were needless, under present circumstances, to call
attention to the momentous importance of this Intel•
ligence.
At the Bourse, the Rents, after opening with some
firmness, again declined, closing at 68k. 45c., with a
fall of 100. In Credit Mobilier there was considera-
ble fluctuation. After being in great demand at an
advance of 10fr., it suddenly dropped 25fr., in conse-
quence of heavy sales tortilla. profits. In the afternoon
however, when it was announced that M. Iwo
Pereira, of whose approaching journey to Vienna I
spoke yesterday, would start this evening, there was
a partial reaction. The latest price (1,405 fr.) was
but 10fr. lower than yesterday. Austrian railways, in
which a large Dimities, was done, fell ultimately
2fr. 50a. Bank of France rose 2fr.

PARIS, TIIIIRGINIT MORNING.
A special depot for the wounded of the army of
the But has been formed at Rueil. All wounded
soldiers coming home to Paris, and being without
resources, will be taken care of in this depot until their
retiring pensions are regulated.

We have received the following private telegraphic
despatches:
" TRIESTE, Sen. 6.—Acooants have been received
from Constantinople to the 29th alt. Several Eng-
lish agents have left for Ciroamia in order to bring
about a diversion on the part of the mountaineers on

form the Porte from Batoom of the wants of his army,
and will then go to the Crimea, and thence to

MADRID, Barr. 1.
The dementia journal, the National Severe:9,qt
which yesterday oontained statements respecting
some grave matters which occurred at the &curial,
kis boa seized at the Post Office. A rumour was
spiel that the Queen was going to abdicate, but
all are now convinced that she will not do so. It is
said that representations have been made to the
Queen by persons of considerable influence, to the
effect that the people were discontented with
the present state of things, which was
neither liberty nor despotism, but a kied of hybrid
siteatiou, with which the nation was disgusted, and
which it was resolved to break through if it could
reckon on the sovereign. The Queen is said to have
replied that it the nation declared its will by a
soh ms manifestation, she would accept the situation.

GRAHAM.

The following is a continuation of the Correspond.
nee previously published :

Duke of Niiiefliogton, Cedeaad, AIM. 29, 1864.
My dear Sir James,-1 have sent (intend Jones's report
of Sveaborg to the Admiralty : it differs very little (root
what 1 wrote to you some time ego. I don't, however, agree
with him that landing 6,000 troops en Bak Holman would
be safe. If you land 6,000, they will oppou you with,
10,000, end as both sides of the passage are fortified, they
could arose over an number they pleued.
If you land at all you must land a force superior to any
they can bring against you, and I do not think the Emperor
of Russia would leave such so important fortress with •
weak garrison. Your force, then, if small, would be
awaked.
_ _ _

If you attack from the sea and from the islands with art
overwhelming force of gun and mortar boats, backed by the
fleet and ateamers, I believe you would destroy it ; but it
would be a work of time. Ido not think our present force
would do it, and the season is much too ,far advanced to
attempt it. All the channels must be buoyed before the
ships and steamers could be placed, and if it came to blow,
they would be endangered ; it would not be an affair of
few hours, it would be days : retreat would be difficult,:aia
• retreat would be • failure._ _ _ _

The General .eems to think that the plans of the place
we are furnished with have not been tamed out. I shall
submit his report to the French Admiral and General end
his engineer.—Beliere me, etc.,

Admitait7, Aug. 29, 1864. Sept. 3.)
My dear Sir Charles.—When we know what arrange•
runt is to be made with respect to the French array, we
will eonsert measures with Prince fct the gradual with-
drawal of the fleet from the Baltic. You should begin by
seeding home, without much delay, the sailing three.
deckers, the lent weatherly of the sailing line•of•battle•
ships, and the slowest and wont of the bloca•ehipe. This
will do for a beginning, and, by degrees, you must with-
drew to the southward, leaving the Gulf of Bothnia open,
and watching only the Gulf of Finland with a squedronof
observation. _ _

noted', will ba your first haltingplace ; bat
this is on the assumption that the French army is withdrawn
for winter quartets at bome.—l am, &c.,

His Excellency Sir Charles Napier,
[Norm—l did not send the saihog ships to Kiel till after
the French fleet had sailed to Kiel, and, although 1 thought
I wee anticipating Sir James Graham's Milne, the Admi.
ratty wrote to say that they had not sanctioned the retail
of the sailing 'hive, and that no instructions had been given
by them. So we have the Pint L"rd of the Admiralty

ITALY.

A pamphlet on the subject of Italy has just ap-
peared. It la sunned "The Italian Questioa : Murat and
the Botshoes." It is penally attributed to the pen of a
formes Neapolitan Minister, who Is highly esteemed by his

fellow.countrymen, and is known to b;iiithe condi/nes of
PASO, Lucien Murat. After speaking of Italian inde-
pendence and liberty is general, it compares the position of
Naples under the government of Joachim Murat end under
the Bourbons—of emerge to the disadvantage of the latter.
Prince Lucien Murat is represented as pomeeelog the same
sentiments as his father in regard to Italy, es a champion of
liberty and democracy, as enemy of the Jesuits, and head
of the Freemasons.

The publitiagoo is easaymoae, bat the following letter,
at the and of the pamphlet, addressed by the Prince to his
whew, gins it a Maratha character :

"My dear Nephew,—Although it seems to me, as it does
to you, that lam the only possible *elution (of the Italian
question), I have aaaaa theism abstained from taking the

merely born on the threshold of a throne the crown belongs
to him, and that he is to succeed to the inheritance of an
entire people, u a flock of sheep falls to the lot of a private
individual.

" Let Italy call me and I shall be proud of serving her.
I will even add that no one will serve her better than
myself.
" Her 'singes are my enemies, and there is a terrible as
eount to be settled betweeo as. But should Italy choose
another, my good wishes should be still with her ; and to
aid her sum= I should shed the last drop of my blood.
" Happy he who shall he the sleet of Italy I His mission
is an easy one. Cheek yourself and remember this maxim,
which is not the less good because it is old, noblesse oblige.
—Entirely yours, " L. Moßwe."

Colonel Zambeccari, who was stated to have gone
to Turin to take a command in the Anglo-Italian
Legion, writes to may that he has not gone there for
any such purpose, but to plane himself under the care
of Professor Sprino, for the cure of an ophthalmia, oon-
traeted in Greece. He adds that be will never serve
under any other flag than a national Italian one.

difficulty in suitiug thenuelves with many numbers of both

are, many of them, under engagement for some time for-

higher rates in the present state of the market.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.
George Wagoorse and Alfred Praang, who wore • few
days ago charged with having broken into the warehouse of
Mr. Smith, of Queen-street, Cheapside, stationer, were
brought up for final examination.
The only additional evidence against the prisoners was
that of a young wornam,who proved that the;window through
which, it was presumed, the prisoners had entered the house,
had been closed at the usual hour on the evening before the
burglary was committed.
The prisoners, who acted with levity upon the occasion,
were committed for trial.

Watkins Attreell was charged under rather odd circum-
stances with having uttered bad money.
Isabella Mavin—The prisoner handed me a half-crown,
in my lodging, on Saturday night, and I gave him a good
shilling in change. I put by the half-crown, never suspect-
ing that it was counterfeit, until next morning, when I
• ent to make a purebase. On Monday night, on going into
the Black Raven public-house, in Bishopsgattestreet, I saw
the prisoner in the act of offering the landlord a bad shil-
ling. The landlord broke the bad shilling, and the prisoner
walked out, and I told the landlord that the same man bad
imposed upon me with base money. I also told a police-
man.

The landlord—When I broke the bad shilling with the
detector, the prisoner slid he did not know the money was
bad, and, taking up one part of it, laid he would show it to
the publican at Dalston liters he had received it. I pro-
duce the part of it I kept.
The keeper of a delicacy shop,in Bishopsgate-street, said—
The prisoner came to my premises, and asking for a couple
of pie., put down a bad half-crown in payment. I ttied it
with my teeth, and told him it was bad, and at that moment
the female who has given evidence came into the stop,
accompanied by the policeman, and gave the prisoner in
charge. The prisoner, seeing the policeman, took up the
bad half-crown, and whipped it into his mouth, and nobody
ever saw it afterwards. _ .

Aldermen Hunter—Da you mean to say that he swal-
lowed the half-crown ?
Witness—l bays no doubt of it.
The policeman—There is not the least questioner that, in
my mind. I saw him distinctly slip it into his mouth, chew
it, sad swallow it. (Laughter.)
Alderman Hunter—Chew the bad half-crown ?
The policeman—Yes, my lord; I saw him chew it, and
he must have swallowed it, for I shoved my finger into his
mouth.

Amongst the killed there are seven officers, and 10

wounded. amongst them Suleiman Nabs. Thirteen inha-
bitants of the town have been killed, and 11 wounded.
I consider it my duty to make honourable mention of the
French detachment that is here, and of the English men-of-
war, Curacao, Furious, Valorous, Viper, of the Turkiil
steamer Mather, and of the energetic co-operation of the
French steamer Velum. who all contributed greatly towards
frustrating the efforts of the enemy. The French detach-
ment had 4 men killed, and 9 wounded: amongst the latter
is a naval officer.

The Russians must have suffered a heavy loss. According
to the report of the civil authorities of the tows, who had to
bury the dead, their number of killed amounts to 453 ;
their artillery lost 300 hones. They carried away a great
many of their dead, and almost all their wounded. We
have taken seven prisoners.

EXTRAORDINARY CREDULITY.

Oa Monday, at the Barnsley court-house, Geo. '
Micklethwaite, a tall, spire, haggard looking person, was
brought before Thomas Taylor, Esq., on a charge of obtain-.
ink money from Thomas Earnehaw, under the pretence of
laying or raising spirit*.
The complainant, • half witted old man, of about 701
years of age, who performs the joint duties of clerk and
seaton at the church of High Hoyland, user Barnsley, in
giving evidence, said, "during the last year or two the
sour has obtained money from me, saying that there was a
person who wanted my situation as clerk, but if I would
give him 11. he would stop him from obtaining it. He said
he would prevent it by purchasing some stuff at the drug-
gists to put down the evil spirit. In January, be said, the
spirit would rise and tear me to pieces. Oa the 28th
he wanted 11. to lay the spirit, and I gave him 4s. ; on the
26th December I gave him 41. The spirit, he said, was to
appear near the Lane-end in the shape of a sheep or beast.
On the 16th of July I gave him 6.. 6d. while digging a grave
at &hut church. He got that to stand in the circle which
I understood to mean seeing the spirit in a glue, when be
would see who were my enemies. After that be said John
Exley was my enemy, but he could stop him from doing me
any harm. I have given him between 61. and 71. in all.
Compl. inapt then named the parties from whom he had
borrowed the money, and in continuation said defendant
had been doing this fir two years. He has come to me in
the church at Maui and at Hoyland. I have gone to his
house to talk these things over, and be told me he could
raise spirits. All the money I gave the defendant was to
keep down the evil spirits.
Martha Wordsworth was nest called as a witness, and on
being sworn, said she had frequently seen the complainant
and nefendant together in We church at Holyland. On
Sunday, the 28th January, she was in the church, near the
altar, and heard the defendant ask Earnshaw for 11, and
he told bins be had not the money. Defendant said he
must get it of Mr. Pym, and if he did not do so an evil
spirit would come to him, and be would be in danger of his
life. It would come instantly, and if he did not pay him
11. there would be another clerk appointed in his place by
the Sunday following.
John Esau said be was the only person of the name in the
village, and was the leader of the choir at High Hoyland
Church. He had never heard any person applied for the
situation of clerk.

Mr. Chuleswortb, solicitor, appeared for the com-
plainant.
Mr. Hamer, for the defence, addressed the msgis-
trate*, contending that the statement of Earnshaw wu
unworthy of credence, u the evidence wu contradictory
in several points.
Mr. Taylor considered that the charge was clearly proved,
and he committed the defendant to Wakefield House of
Correction for two calendar months.

The exertions in bringing the matter before the magis-
trates is highly commendable.
London, England, 1855-03-09

FIRE AN]) LOSS OF LIFE.

Yesterday, at noon, a fire suddenly broke out in
the premises of Mr. Thomas Roue, 64, ecl-pie house, on
the western side of Farringdon-street. The conflagration
appeared to commence in the cellar, which was toed as the
bakehouse. The flames rapidly mounted the staircase,
igniting in their progress every room in the house, even as
far as the attic, where a middle-aged woman, who it was
said had only been confined a few days since, was seen
by the spectators at the attic window endeavouring to
make her escape, only having on her night clothes ; for a
few minutes she hung suspended from the window sill
by one hand, to which she was encouraged by the mob
to cling, the hope that a fire•eaape would arrive in
sufficient time to release her from her perilous position.
The smoke, however, issuing front the room was too,
powerful, and she was literally compelled to throw herself
into the street, where sbe fell with most tremendous force,
and was killed upon the spot, several of her bones appear-
lag to have been broken, cud the back part of her skull
dreadfully lacerated. Four or five engines quickly arrived
at the place, where they wore soon supplied with water,
and by the praiseworthy and strenuous effort. of the fire-
men the fire was extinguished in half Ilk hour ; but the
whole of the interior of the building was destroyed,
leaving only the outer walls standing. The house was
understood to be filled with lodgers, many of them
having children; and it is reported, we believe with too
much truth, that some of the children have fallen a
sacrifice, the flames spreading ea rapidly that It was im-
possible for any pence to get them •out of the building.
We hope, however, that our fears may not be realised.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK LANE.-THIS DAY.
The opinion which iled, on receipt of the news of
the Russian Emperor's death, that an early peace was pro-
bable, appears to be fast wearing away ; this circum-
stance, combined with a return of sufkciently severe
weather to retard the reopening of the Northern ports of
Europe, had given increased confidence to wheat holders,
and purchases could scarcely be made to-day on such favour-
able terms as earlier in the week. The same remark will
apply to flour.
Barley was dull, at Monday's quotations.
Irish oats brought rather more money, and other descrip-
tions were fully as dear.
Beans and peas quiet.
