Our letters received this morning inform us
that the text of the treaty between Sardinia,
France, and England, having received the assent
of the Government of the two latter countries,
was expected at Turin on the 20th, and was to
be submitted immediately to the Piedmontese

The Ost Deutsche Post of Vienna *aye :

Acc3rding to intelligence from Warsaw, the

Russians on the 9th made a rather important
sortie from Sebastopol. It was directed against
the English, who repulsed the Russians, and
forced them to retreat with loss. The combat

was finished when the French came up to the

assistance of their Allies.

We are informed from Vienna that on the 16th
another note was sent by Count Buol to Berlin,
calling upon the Prussian Cabinet to fulfil its ob-

igations, under the treaty of April, to mobilise

,s army.

The Independence of Brussels has telegraphic
information that in this note Austria informs

Prussia that, should she not obtain a majority in

the Diet on the question of mobilisation, she will
proceed under the 42d article of the Federal Pact,

i. c., will accept the active alliance of such Ger-

manic States as may choose to join apart from

their federal obligations.

BERLIN, JAN. 20.
The Sardinian alliance with the Western Powers

is discussed by our semi-official press in a spirit
of great bitterness. Our statesmen feel that the

active participation of a second European state in

the war is making Prussian neutrality impossible.
A new note was sent to Vienna in the middle of

the week, protesting against the course taken by
Austria and the Allies.

A letter of the 19th, from Vienna, says :
" The embarkation of the Turkish troops for the

Crimea has proceeded with such activity, that on
the 14th the last transports had set sail."

MARSEILLES, JAN. 22.
The Sinai arrived here yesterday evening, but

the telegraph not having recommenced to work
until this evening, the following news could not

be sent sooner :

The Allies have not undertaken anything new

in the Crimea, as they are waiting until the Turk-
ish army has all assembled at Eupatoria.

No battle has been fought, as had been re-

ported.

The besieged have re-occupied the Quarantine
Fort, which had been evacuated.
The Duke of Cambridge, finding that his health
did not improve at Alalta, is about to return to
England.

General Brown is going to resume his com-

mand in the Crimea.

The Journal de Constantinople publishes an
authentic version of the speech of M. de Bruck.
The internuncio said, " Austria is concentrating
an army in order to effectually support the Allies,
if unhappily the last attempts at pacification
should be fruitless. But whether peace be re-
established before or after war, Russian pride
will be humbled." M. de Bruck concluded by
recDmmending Turkey to give up her prejudices
as regards race, which would contribute to a
solution conformably to the requirements of civi-
lisation.

FRANCE.
PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.
The Minister of Marine and of the Colonies has
received the following telegraphic despatch from
Vice-Admiral Bruat, Commander-in-Chief of the
Mediterranean squadron
" MONTZBELLO, Jan. 13.—The Descartes arrived on
the 4th at Constantinople with 1,000 men, ammunition,
and artillery. The Trident and the Gorgon arrived on
the 9th.
"On the afternoon of the 4th Omer Pacha passed
by ICamiesch on his way to Balaklava.
" The Primauguet returns to France to be at your
disposal.
The cold has been pretty sharp the last few days.
Since yesterday the weather is miller, and the snow has
thawed, though the wind is still from the north.
"In the night between the 7th and Bth of January
the Russians made a sortie against the parallel which is
in advance of battery No. 19. Our soldiers waited till
they were at point blank distance and then vigorously
repulsed them. They left many killed upon the ground.
"In the night between the 11th and 12th 150 Rus-
sians attacked our lines. Driven back, after a hand-to-
hand fight of some minutes, they left in our works seven
killed and two prisoners wowaded. Our loss was five
wounded. "
The Moniteur publishes the following relative
to a despatch which appeared on the 21st of Janu-
ary in the Constitutionnel
"A journal published the other day a note addressed
on the let of April, 1813, to t'ie Prussian Envoy by the
Duke of Bassano, Minister of Foreign Affairs. It ac-
companied that document with reflections which tended
to establish a rapprochement between that epoch and
the present situation. That as•similation is neither just
nor apropos. Then the Cabinet; of Berlin, in giving the
signal of a rupture, found support in the national senti-
ment which it had succeeded in arousing. To-day, if
hesitation and tardiness are to be regretted in the adhe-
sion of the Prussian Government to the policy of the
Western Powers, it is at least votorious that the public
opinion of that country pronounces itself with ardov,r
favour of our cause. The moment is, therefore, ill chosen
to recall souvenirs which can have no other effect than
to damp that sympathetic ardour of the two peoples."
The Moniteur announces the conclusion of a
special convention between France and Baden,
for regulating the interch2eige of telegraphic de-
spatches.
A telegraphic despatch from Toulon of the 20th
January announces that—
