LATEST NEWS.

MARSEILLES, JAN. 16.
The Imperial Guards left the port to-day,
amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the population.
The Euphrate, which left Constantinople on
the Bth, is expected, but has not arrived.

The Vulcan, English war steamer, the Ripon,
and another steamer, have left with the Imperial
Guards on board."

VIENNA, TUESDAY.

A telegraphic despatch has been transmitted to
the Baron de Bruck at Ccnstantinople, inviting►

that diplomatist to take the vacant portfolio.
The Baron de Bruck formerly held the post which
AL Baumgartner has quitted.

The Presse contains a letter from Turin, which
states that the contingent of troops to be furnished
by Sardinia will be from 15,000 to 20,000 men.
The transport of them will be at the charge of
France and England, and the expenses will be
supported by a loan which those powers will
facilitate as much as possible. The same letter
states as certain that General La Marmora, who
now acts as Minister of War, will have the com-
mand of the Sardinian division. It had been ex-
pected that the Duke of Genoa, the brother of
the King, would receive that post, but his health
will not allow it.

The Wanderer has a telegraphic despatch, of
the 10th, from Kischeneff, in which it is said that
Prince Menschikoff urgently demands that rein-
forcements to the amount of-40,000 men may be
sent him. In accordance with this request,
35,000 foot have been sent from Bessarabia, and
5,000 horse from Uman, a district in the Crimea.
This news comes by way of Czernowitz, from
Kischeneff, but it must be received with great
reserve, as it is highly probable that the Russians
spread false reports with the express intention
that they should find their way into the Aus-
trian papers.

The Presse has a despatch of the 4th, via Sem-
lin, from Constantinople, in which it is said that
in one of their sorties the Russians captured 18
Englishmen, three of whom were officers. There
had been a tremendous storm at Kamiesch, Bala-
klava. According to telegraphic advices of the
9th, from Bucharest, the English and French
Consuls have presented Notes from their Govern-
ments, in which Stirbey was requested to make
known by a public document that the Principality
renounced the Protectorate of Russia.

The Oest. Correspondent has the following, of
the 7th, from Odessa :—" Fifty battalions are
on their way from Bessarabia and the Ukraine
to the Crimea. Since the 6th the thermometer
has been at eight degrees below zero (14.00 Fah-
renheit)." Until now we have had no winter in
Vienna in the strict sense of the word. The
mercury in Reaumur's thermometer has only once
been down to the freezing point. Snow fell this
morning, but it soon melted.

The Wurtemburg Moniteur, in communicating
the sense of M. Manteuffel's note to Count Buol

of the sth inst., shows the position which the
Prussian Cabinet has chosen to take up at the

moment when invited to mobilise its army. The
Prussian Minister, in declining to accede to the
request, urges that Austria has nothing to fear
while maintaining a defensive position, " the
peace-loving disposition and the assurances of
the Emperor of Russia being worthy of all
confidence." He then reminds the Vienna
Cabinet that the treaty of April 20, 1854, was
made in order to restore peace, and not to extend
war, and also that it prescribed a community of
action to the contracting powers. This part of
the treaty M. Manteuffel complains Austria has
not observed ; but, by concluding with other
powers treaties to which Prussia was not a party,
has virtually set the treaty of April aside. M.
Manteuffel adds, somewhat haughtily, that Prussia
wants no 36 days' notice for mobilising 100,000
men, seeing its government has unostentatiously
taken its measures, and is ready to defend and
assert the interests of the country " from what-
ever quarter they may be menaced."
