VIENNA, MONDAY MORNING, FEB. 26.

improving.

The ships took part in the battle at Eupatoria
on the 17th instant.
Official intelligence has been received here of
the departure of Lord John Russell from Paris for
Vienna, via Berlin and Dresden.

A telegraphic despatch, dated Vienna, 25th
Feb., says :

"An Austrian circular despatch has been issued,
dated 17th February. It declares that the rigo-
rous execution of the Frankfort Diet relative to
the preparations of war of the Federal army, is a
'que stion of honour' for the States of the Confe-
deration.

"At the same time the circular criticises the
pounds of the Dietal resolution, and endeavours
to prove that the demand of Prussia, that the
Federal contingents should be held exclusively
upon the territory of the Confederation, at the
disposal of the Federal Assembly, is impracti-
cable."

We have received the following from Paris :
PARIS, MONDAY EVENING, FEB. 26.
Colonel d'Olberg, aide-de-camp of General de
Wedell, arrived at Paris on Sunday evening from
Berlin.

Satisfactory letters were received here on Sun-
day evening from General Niel, in the Crimea.

EATOUM, FEB. 1.

A body of Georgian militia (Asian) attacked at
the camp at Laghoe, yesterday, a post confided to
800 Bashi-Bazouks. The Russians were driven
back with considerable loss.

BERLIN, FEB. 24.

The negotiation with France still remains with-
out result. The parties, it is believed, thoroughly
understand each other. Prussia wants to enter
the new Conferences in the interest of Russia.
The Czar is exceedingly anxious on this head.
But Prussia would enter the Conference in vain
if she took upon herself any positive engagement
to act against Russia. M. Drouyn de l'Huys has
held very decided, although conciliatory, language
to General Wedell, and the issue of the negotia-
tions will not be long delayed.

VIENNA, FEB. 23.

Lord Sblin.ltusstll is expected here on Tuesday
or Wednesday. It is not thought that the nego-
tiations will be long protracted, unless England
and France declare themselves ready to give up
the objects for which they have taken up arms.

FRANCE.

The Emperor yesterday gave a private audience
to the Marquis d'Au tonini, the Neapolitan Minister,
who delivered a letter from his sovereign, notifying,
the birth of the Princess Maria Theresa Ferdi-

Majesty also granted a private audience to the
Marquis Pes de Villa-Marina, Sardinian Minister,
who delivered three letters from his sovereign,
notifying the birth of the Duke of Genoa, the li
death of Queen-Mother Maria Theresa, and the
death of the reigning Queen, Maria Adelaide.
General Niel, who was sent on a mission to the
Crimea by the Emperor, arrived at Toulon last
evening, and is expected in Paris to-night or to-
morrow morning.
The Moniteut de l' Armee contains a report to
the Emperor from Marshal Vaillant, Minister of War,
recommending the augmentation in the Imperial
Guard, which has been already spoken of in the
journals, for the purpose of sending a large body
'of these select troops to the Crimea. An Imperial
decree approves of the augmentation spoken of.
The Moniteur publishes decrees, whereby Col.
Ochsenbein, chief of the Military Department in
Switzerland, has been named general of brigade au
titre etranger, and charged with the organisation
and command of the second foreign legion ; and the
' two following officers are named colonels au titre
etranger :—Major Meyer, to the Ist regiment of
the second foreign legion, and Major de Granet
' Lacroix de Chabriere to the 2d regiment of the
same legion. M. Gehret, ex colonel in the ser-
vice of the Swiss Confederation, is also appointed
Lieut.-Colonel of the Ist regiment of the 2d legion.
An Imperial decree authorises the Marquis de
Barville, formerly Lieutenant of the Orleans
Cuirassiers, Count Depestre, Chef d'Escadron on
half-pay,
and M. Trcestler, formerly brigadier in
the Royal Guard,
to wear the decoration of Knight
of the Legion of Honour. A note appended to the
decree states that these three persons had been no-
minated to that honour by an ordonnance of
Charles X., dated Rambouillet, Aug. 1, 1830.
A letter from Marseilles of the 25th says :

RUSSIA.
Advices from Warsaw, of the 16th, are filled with
accounts of the immense deliveries of provisions at
the Polish fortresses. Vast magazines, we are told,
are formed at Ostrolenka. The writers mention,
with undisguised admiration, the great quantities
of spirituous liquor which the care of the Czar has
provided for his soldiery, and which are daily con-
veyed to the central depots. From this it is in-
ferredthat Poland is expected to become the theatre
of a great war. General Dekn, inspector of for-
tresses, reports that the three lines of defence, ex-
tending from Cronstadt to the Vistula, ar3 in a
complete and effective state.
The Universal German Gazette contains news
from the Baltic, which states that great activity is
displayed in the Russian ports in the construction
of gun-boats. The Russian fleet, it is stated, con-
tained 250 of these boats last year, and now 100
others are to be added to that number. Each is
to be armed with one gun of 68 and four of 32.
The part which is in the water is lined with iron.
The Russian fleet of the Baltic, properly so called,
consists of 30 ships of the line, 9 frigates, .8 brigs,
and 10 steamers.

AUSTRIA.
A letter from Vienna, of the 22d, in the German
Journal of Frankfort, says :
