AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Jan. 9.—The Austrian Corre,sponden,
the medium universally chosen by this Government
for communicating to the public through the press,
publishes the following communicated article re-
specting the important proceedings of the last few
days
"The public arealready aware that the plenipotentiaries
of the Three Powers allied by the treaty of Dec. 2 met on
the 26th ult., in consequence of a communication from
the Imperial Russian Ambassador, Prince Gortschakoff,
who declared himself empowered to treat generally on
the subject of the well-known four points. It is also
known that they haVe fixed in a more definite manner
the sense and bearing of those points by their inter-
pretation. The imperial Russian Ambassador did not
find his powers sufficiently extensive to enable him to
speak on the bases thus elucidated. It was in conse-
quence agreed that further negotiation would bo
postponed for fourteen days, during which period
Prince Gortscbakeff promised to obtain further instruc-
tions from his court. The day before yesterday, the
6th inst., the Russian ambassador informed the imperial
minister of foreign affairs, Count von Buol-Schauenstein,
that the instructions which he had asked of his court bad
arrived, whereon yesterday a conference was held between
the imperial French and the royal Britannic ambassa-
dors, together with the Count von Buol and Prince
Gortschakoff, at the imperial ministry of foreign affairs.
From the mutual explanaCons then exchanged it re-
sulted that the representatives of the Four Powers were
essentially agreed in their understanding of the sense
and general bearing of the fundamental points, and con-
sequently—saving the assent of the cabinets of Paris and
London yet to be obtained—a basis is gained upon
which negotiations for the restoration of the peace of
Europe may begin.
" We greet this preliminary result with great satisfac-
tion, and at the same time believe We may venture to
express our expectation that the high courts of France
and England and the Sublime Porte will similarly see in
it a result fully capable of serving as a basis for the ne-
gotiation of a conclusive and secure peace."

RUSSIA.
ODE SSA, DEc. 29.
Accounts from Perekop state that the reserves of
the 10th division (belonging to the 4th corps, for-
merly Dannenberg's, now under Osten-Sicken)
which Lift here on the 19th December, have been
sent by forced marches and in waggons to the Cri-
mea. The address communicated to them by the
Archbishop is so perfectly characteristic that we re-
peat it. He said, among other things :—" You are
marching where the enemy, through his obstinate
wickedness, has been punished, by the hand of God,
with the destruction of a great portion. of his ships.
However, instead of bending humbly to the power
of the Almighty, lie attempts to secure a footing
on our true-believing country, and to maintain'
himself until summer—then to be reinforced by fresh
bands of scamps. We are therefore obliged to in-
crease our strength, and for that reason you are
marching to the Crimea. . . Know that the enemy
has been abandoned by his primitive intrepidity.
He dares no longer to attack us, but employs all
his strength to fortify himself in a small corner of
our possessions, like a prisoner. But what can
avail him against the anger of God ? . . . Therefore,
raarch, Christ-loving, invincible warriors, with
God's help, against the cunning, malevolent foe !
Take as companion the picture of the holy envoy
from heaven, Michael ! Behold at his feet the
conquered dragon of the wicked ! Thus may be
humbled before your Bags the unworthy enemy
who has arrayed himself, to the degradation of the
name of Christ, under the black and Pagan flag of
Mahom et."

KISCHENEW, JAN. 7.
We read in the Wanderer• of Vienna that by a
Russian ukase alarm-posts are being established,
for fear of an invasion, along the Russo-Moldavian
frontiers. It is reported that the Emperor inspects
incognito the troops, for which reason Prince
Gortschakoff has gone to Odessa. General Luders
has -put himself in movement with his corps ; but
whether in order to invade the Dobrudscha, or to
withdraw from Bessarabia, is uncertain.
Accounts from St. Petersburg announce nume-
rous promotions in the Russian navy. General
Schulguine, military Governor-general, died on the
2d of asthma. Cholera is still making progress at
St. Petersburg.
