LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 12.

LATEST FROM ABROAD.

VIENNA, Jcxe 9.

The two chief governments of Germany are ender
Towing to arrive at an understanding upon which a
common has of action may be established. It is said
that the army will be reduced by 100,000 men. Coo-
salvable drafts hays already been made from the
ear ar armee of Galicia.

THE CRIMEA.

The Russian works with which the Allies must have
bad to deal on the 6th are the advanced line of delouse
stand the Arsenal and Karabelnia suburbs, saw
mewing with the redoubts on the right of Careening
Bay and following the line to the month, or Admi-
ceity Harbour. This comprehends the Lunette bat-
tery immediately above Careening Bay on the left,
cc west side, a new redoubt thrown up lately on the
difr above the roadstead, and still farther to the kit
then the last-named work, the blamelon Redoubt,
sei the Malakhoff, Redan and Barrack Batteries. It
to quite as certain that the Malakhoff batteries, built
around the ruins of the original White Tower, is the
pat to which the besiegers are working, as that
thus batteries do not, as has been suggested to the
'Olin constitute the White Work taken on the 7th
but, Upon the Malakhoff batteries the enemy has
emcentrsted the vigour of his defensive energies, and
* besiegers have uniformly regarded the same
"galas the key of the whole position.
The Mamelon, now in our possession, of course
amends every part of the Malakhcff works. Our
gun when mounted in this newly acquired position,
will have a double advantage over those of the
enemy, arising at once from elevation of the Mamelon
—implied in its name—and the depression of the
Malakhoff batteries below the general level, lying,
as they do, at the bottom of a hollow. At the
wood bombardment it was found that while the
Mamelon was greatly injured by the guns of Gordon's
battery, the Malakhoff batteries, although 400 yards
(wording to Prince Gortchakoff) behind it, suffered
mash more.
The Mamelon itself is a steep rocky eminence,
drat a mile in circumference at the base, and about
a quarter of a mile at the top. Its average height
from what was lately our adv►nced parallel is about
100 feet. The approach to it was swept by about
40 guns in the Malakhoff works; its own guns made
it truly formidable; and when it is added that its
steep aides are covered with muses of rock and loose
stones, the difficulty of the enterprise of July 7 be-
Comes apparent, and its yuccas more striking. Al-
ready the besiegers must have gained considerably in
the freedom of their movements, as the guns of the
Mamelon completely commanded the ravine of
Otchakov just before it expands into the irregular-
shaped valley lying at the foot of Frenchman's-hill.

In the second edition of the Times, the following
despatch from Gen. Pelissier, dated Crimea, June 9,
11 pal., is reproduced from this morning's Moniteur :
21he situation is the same as yesterday.
All the demonstrations of the enemy against the cos-
tplarei works have been fruitless.
They have abandoned the so-called battery of the 2nd of
May; they have also completely abandoned to us the right
ahem of Careening Bay.
Ms masts in port have sought refuge in Artillery Bay,
were our large mortars can reach them.
We are watching them attentively.

At the time of going to press, the nasal letter of
the Paris correspondent of the Daily News, dated
yesterday evening, had not arrived.

AUSTRIA MUST BE WATCHED.
