Immediate mobilisation is decreed. The fourth

vinces of Saxony and Silesia. The demand of France
that a portion of the French army be allowed to pass
through Prussia, is categorically rejected.

PARIS, TrzsDAY.

The Moniteur publishes the text of the military
convention which the King of Sardinia has con-
cluded with England and France. The Picdinontere
army corps will consist, u previous announeements
have stated, of 15,000 men, organised in five brigades.
The King, moreover, engages to reinforce his army,
so uto keep it up to this numerical strength. Sar-1
dinia will feed and pay the troops, and France and
England engage to defend the Sardinian territory
against attack during the continuance of the war.

It is announced from Turin that about the 12th or
lath of February a concentration of all the troops
will take place in the plains of Marengo, where they
will be reviewed by the King of Sardinia.
The Turin correspondent of the Corriere Mer-
caatile of Genoa states that the Marquis Manimo
d'Azeglio, or the Marquis Alfieri, will proceed to
Vienna to represent Piedmont at the conferences ex-
pected to open there. A telegraph from Turin of
the 28th haat. informs us that five bureaux of the
chamber, out of seven, had already elected their
members for the committee charged with the task of
examining the convention entered into with France
and England. The members so appointed were all
favourable to the alliance.

(MY INTWATIONAL TZLIIIZAPE.)
ST. PETERSBURG, JAW. SO.

A despatch from Prince Mentchikoff has been re-
ceived here, with news from Sebastopol to the 22d.
The Prince reports several night sorties against the
left wing of the enemy (the French) and the trenches,
in which the Allies suffered great loss.
Two officers and several soldiers were made pri-

niers. In the camp of the Allies the want of fuel

was severely felt, and the troops were burning the
beams of the ancient Temple of Chersonesno. They
had also destroyed its dome and the ornaments.—
Daily Nam

We have advice' from Sebastopol of u late date u
the preceding, but through a more friendly channel,
which make no mention of any extraordinary success
gained by the Russians in their sorties. The ar-
rangement announced on Monday by Mr. Gladstone,
under which a French fore. wu to take part of the
right attack, so u to relieve our men,was in operation.
The huts had not been moved up to the camp, and
their want was much felt.—Daily News.

The Journal de St. Peterabourg of Jan. 21 gives
prominence to a letter treating of the hurricane in
the Black Sea on the 14th of November. The writer
says:—"The recital makes us tremble. One asks
oneself,' Among all the spectators or victims of such
a catastrophe, is there no one who demands of his
conscience whether this may not be a terrible judg-
ment from God? Has one of the governments who
have forced the war upon us reflected on this ques-
tion. It is to be feared not. On the contrary, it
seems to harden the heart and exasperate the temper
of our adversaries. We see this in the attempt to
make a winter campaign in the Crimea, a proof that
the enemy neither fear the anger of God nor the
new calamities which they are preparing to en-
counter."

WHAT MUST BE DONE FOR OUR ARMY:

THE presumptuous incapacity that has caused se
much suffering and loss of life in the Crimea cannot
be denounced in too strong language. A sweeping
and radical reform in our military administration
cannot be too importunately urged. Measures fa
the relief and reinforcement of our army in the Fast
cannot be too speedily carried into execution.
it is not true that " the army in the Crimea by
perished." Sadly diminished in numbers, exposed to
unnecessary hardships—still we have an army there.
We are not yet reduced to the condition of
Auouarus, when he could only wake night after
night, and exclaim bootlessly, " VsEue, give me
back my legions."

At the date of the most recent telegraphic des.
patches, our soldiers'were doing duty in the trendies
and repelling Russian sorties. Their French Allies
were so confident of their ability to do everything
that is necessary till the time for decisive action
comas, that General CANBOBERT had sent orders to
etain the French reinforcements at Constantinople
till further orders. An effective Turkish force was
assembling at Enpatoria. The English army wee
not in the condition of a dismantled ship, stranded
on an uninhabited and barren island : it was asso-
ciated with efficient coadjutors. The Russians were
not in a condition to snake any immediate attack upon
the Allier. The exact condition of the Rue.
Sian troops we do not know; bat this we
know :—ln the campaign of 1829, the ember
of Russian soldiers received into the regular hospitals
in the course of five months was 81,214, and of these
28,748 died. The proportion of deaths in that cam-
paign to the whole rimy was 14.6 per cent, in the
regimental hospitals, and 37 per cent. in the general
hospitals. There is every reason to believe thetas,
Russian losses in the campaign on the Danube of
1854 were not less than those of 1829. The Russian
troops in the Crimea are composed partly of soldiers
whose health has been undermined by sickness on
the Danube, partly of soldiers marched in haste,
without due preparation, from remote parts of the
empire, across the barren and waterless steppes, and
exposed without shelter or sufficient clothing to
the inclemency of a Crimean winter. The
allied army, of which the English forms a part, are
perfectly able to make good their ground against the
Russians till reinforcements arrive, acd till order is
introduced into our own Quartermaster-Genersls

and other departments. There has been much to
condemn, but there is no sufficient reason to despair.
The moral to be drawn from this view of the con.
dition of our army in the Crimea is, that', not a
moment should be lost in augmenting the number of
our soldiers, in promoting to high command officers
of approved ability and zeal and in the Finis of life
in availing ourselves of the services of Indian officers
accustomed to move great bodies of troops, in
employing capable men in all the civil depart.
meats attached to the army, in placing all
,our sectional war departments under one re-
sponsible head, in nominating a man of
calm, reflecting courage and inflexible will to be
War Minister, and in removing Lord HARDINGE
from the Horse Guards. The moral to be drawn
from the view of the condition of the army of the
East presented by the croakers who declare that " the
army in the Crimea has perished," would be to give
up the task we have undertaken in despair. And
this is what these croakers really aim at.
' We know our countrymen better. The latent ener-
gies of the Englishman are never so effectively called
forth as in extreme peril. In our tropical and
arctic expeditions of discovery, in the earlier history
of our empire in Hindostan, in the annals of our New
England Colonies, are to be found ample and abound-
ing proofs of this truth. When the whole continent
of Europe was leagued against us—when Walcheren
and Coruna had in succession cast a gloom over our
prospects—the courage of England only soared to a
higher pitch under the stimulus of these dangers and
reverses. Mortifying defeats and the hostility of a
world in arms against England only roused the nation
—like SAMSON when awakened by the taunts of the
Philistines—to contend with, and trample down, and
scatter all its enemies.

And so will it be now. The traitorous agents
of the CZAR, and the sordid votaries of Mammon
amongst us, may do their worst to instil despondency
into the hearts of the people of England. Such aliens
as look with grudging and jealous eyes on England,
may exclaim that the prestige of its might has
vanished. The people of England will listen with
indignant contempt to the one, and will silence the
others by putting forth their strength. The collective
nation is at this moment ■training like a greyhound
in the leash, and if those who seek to control and
direct its energies do not slip the collar at once, it will
break the thong that binds it, or dart forward,
dragging along with it the puny whipeters who seek
to restrain it. If the habitutls of office all
factions alike—do not relinquish their paltry in-
trigues and personal rivalries, and combine to pro-
mote, or at least acquiesce in, the formation of a
vigorous and effective Administration, John Bull will
take the work into his own hands. And if once
John sets to work in earnest, he will not rest con-
tented with the discomfiture of foreign foes, but will
set on foot a rummage and clearance of all the
time-honoured asylums of drones and wasps which
plague him at home. We have still an army in the
Crimea, and it is our duty to save it.—Doily News.
