AUSTRIA

__—
Intelligence from Vienna of Thursday's date
states that the Turkish .irribassador in that city has
been empowered to sign the protocol if necessary.
His Majesty the Emperor was so greatly delighted
to learn that RUSsia had accepted the propositions,
that he himself communicated the glad._tidings to
his guests, and many of those persons who wit-

PRUSSIA.
By advices dated-Berlin, Thursday, we are in-
formed
:that the .Austrian. Ambassador, Count
Esterhazy, has
.communicated to the Prussian
`Cabinet the projected proposal of Austria to the
German Diet for, its accession to the accepted
, preliminaries. The Saxon Prime' Minister,
Debeust, has arrived at Berlin. -
It is understood that a mere protocol, acknow—
ledging the willingness of the belligerent powers to
treat on the conditions proposed, is all that will be
signed at Vienna. The formal preliminaries of
peace will not be signed till the representatives of
the various powers meet at Paris. Neither Sar-
dinia nor Prussia will be parties to the protocol.
Both will beadmitted to the after negociations.
We have received intelligence here that the:
Russians have taken advantage of the late tempo-
rary thaw to sink immense blocks of stone at the
anchorage off the Isle of Nurgen. Care will be
taken before the navigation re-opens to render the
ground utterly impracticable, as an anchorage for
ships of the line. The accounts we receive hre of
the commercial activity in the Gulfs of Bothnia
and Finland, since there has been a prospect of
peace, are almost incredible.
A letter from Berlin, of the 29th, states that
Prussia is not:disposed to enter into any engage-
mens„with a view•to,taking part :in. the Paris con-
ferences, but maintains her right to do so on. the.
ground. of the treaties of Vienna,. These* treaties
decided the question' of the-territorial arrangement
of Europe; the 'rectification of the Ottoman terri- • tory,, however trifling, is, a modification of those
treaties, andas such cannot take place without her.
This, at all events, seems to be one of the argu-
ments put forward for her, though Turkey was not
represented at the Vienna Congress. .

GREECE.
We learn from a letter, dated Athens,' the 20
ult., that the sensation produced by the news of
the-peace was very. greatindeed; and nothing could
exceed the regret of the partisans of RUSSia. There
ivas some talk of sending .M. Mavrocordato to
Paris during the conferences. The Queen was
said to be opposed to the choice, but her opposition
would go for nothing in the event of its. being;
thought necessary to have a .representative There.

THE MEDITERRANEAN":
Advises, dated INlarseilles the 20th ultimo,
m.ention that a remarkably fine body of men, eOl,l-.
Fmcs•!ting Of 700 of the 3rd battalion of Chasseurs of
ennes, bad arrived from the Crimea. They
sailed irom liamiesch in the British steamer Glas-
gow on the, Ist January, and from Constanti-
nople on the 16th. The Glasgow entered the po'rt
at eight in the morning; but as there were some
asses .of typhus fever on board, the troops were'
not suffered to land until the sanitary board held
a consultation, to which the physicians on board
the Glasgow were summoned. At two in the atter:
noon the Chasseurs were drawn up on the quay
Of the' Joliette. They looked remarkably well, and
in excellent condition. They did not conceal their
joy at again standing on their native soil. lb, 3,1
Chasseurs was one of the first regiments which
left France for the East. They distinguished them
solves at the battle of Inhermann, and again at the
capture of the Mamelon Vert, for which several of
them are decorated. Their colours are fiddled
.with Russian shot. The'cantiniere of the regiment
is said to have realised 150.000 f. by selling prOvi-
sfons and•liquor while in the Crimea.
Several Polish officers who have obtained
