CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 11.—General Brunet has
arrived at Constantinople. He commands the 9th
division of the French army, consisting of 12,000
men, which is hourly expected here, and des-
tined as a reinforcement for the Crimea. Mean-
time letters have been received from General
Canrobert 'complimenting General Brunet on
his arrival, as also precise instructions to
General Larchey, commander-in-chief of the
French troops at Constantinople, to retain
' here all coming reinforcements until further
orders. The cause of this sudden resolution it is of
course a difficult matter to determine. It would
AAR.' either to intliont9 rua cue present ...ponoiozn
of hostilities—or, that General Canrobert finds
himself enabled to carry out, with the force under
his command, any plans or operations which may
be required at this juncture. General Canrobort's
popularity in both armies is unbounded ; he is seen
day and night, in every direction' along the lines,
in the trenches, tents, and posts of danger, frater-
nising with his troops, and consoling them under
trials and privations. Their patience, is how-
ever, almost exhausted ; and they all demand
with oae voice to assault the place. General
Canrobert, in reviewing on a late occasion his he-
roic soldiery, was greeted by a general acclamation
of " Vive Canrobertl" and pronounced an eloquent
oration, terminating with these memorable words :
"Ne dites pas, mes braves, Vive Canrobert, mais
vive l'Empereur ! et qua ce cri retentisse jusqu'au
cceur de nos ennemis—dont la derniere heure a
sonnO ! Vous crierez, Vive votre General, lorsque
je me lancerai votre tete, et quo mon corps vous
servira de drapeau sur la breche. . Si nous n'avons
pas donne encore l'assaut, c'est pour des raisons
particulieres 4 moi connues."

The majority of our own officers know General
Canrobert by sight, and all by reputation—and
say that he is exactly the man to fulfil to the letter
his fatal and remarkable promise to the troops.
By yesterday's packet, an aide-de-camp of Prince
Jerome arrived at Constantinople, and announced
without delay his intention " d'arracher, bon gro
maigre," Prince Napoleon from his present difficul-
ties, and.return with him to Paris. Accordingly all
has been bustle and preparation since yesterday at
the French palace, and his Imperial Highness has
made several magnificent presents to M. Benedetti
and the personnel of the embassy. To-day, at two
p.m., the Prince will be received by the Sultan in
audience at the Imperial Palace of Tcheragem, and
starts this evening for Franco by the mail
steamer.

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, Jan. 2L—There is reason to believe
either that the language employed by Prince Gorts.
chakoff in accepting the four conditions was ambi-
guous, or that the Ministers attached undue im-
portance to what was said by that diplomatist, as a
correspondent of the Augsburg Gazette, whose pen
is known to be at the service of the Russian Em-
bassy in this city, now writes as follows :
" It is but natural that the comprehensive diplomatic
explications which took place during the two last confe-
rences can only become known to the public by degrees.
Not long since I directed your particular attention
to the form observed at the conferences of the 28th
December and 7th January, as under existing circum-
stances it is on that form any conclusions deduced
entirely depend. Without professing to be privileged to
lift the veil from diplomatic secrets, I am sufficiently
well informed to be able to correct some not unimpor-
tant errors into which other correspondents have
fallen. It is neither true that in the two confer-
ences in question an interpretation of the four points
was given, nor that the parties concerned (Count
Buol, the Earl of Westmoreland, and Baron de
Bourqueaey) had previously agreed on an interpretation.
I can positively assure you that the four participators in
the preliminary conferences in question agreed to avoid
any interpretation of the four points, and to leave the
matter for the approaching regular peace conferences.
During the two preliminary conferences it was only the
question of giving a more precise expression (prcezisi-
rung) to the four points, and after that form of expres-
sion, as a result of the mutual oral communications, bad
been agreed on, the declaration was given, that the regu-
lar negotiations for peace could begin on its basis. It can
therefore now he but the question of the necessary autho-
risation for the Representatives of England and France,
which cannot well be refused by the Cabinets of London
and Paris, unless :indeed they should formally disavow
what has been done by their diplomatic agents."
