PARIS, THURSDAY, 8.30 A.M.

The Moniteur confirms the news of the defeat
of the Russians at Eupatoria on the ri'th of

February.

The Vienna Presse publishes advices from Con-
stantinople of the 19th of February to the follow-
ing effect :
A Russian corps has appeared in the vicinity of
Balaklava.

General Niel returns to the camp.
General Williams reorganises the camp at Kars.
Another detachment of Turkish cavalry has

been sent from Varna.

An official article in the Oest. Corresponclem;
says that a general basis has already been formed
for securing the, integrity of Turkey, for preyent-
ing the future encroachments of individual Powers,
and for maintaining the privileges of all the
Christian :subjects of the Porte without interfering
with the rights of the Sultan.
After observing that the negotiations for peace
being under favourable auspices, the Oest. COr7C-
spondenz announces the proximate arrival of one
of the most distinguished statesmen of Turkey, of
M. de Titdff, and of Lord John Russell. It adds,
that Baron de Bourqueney, the French Ambas-
sador, enjoys the full confidence of his Sovereign,
and is, moreover, so well versed in Oriental affairs
that lie k; not likely to have an Adlatus. It also
,announces that Baron Prokesch will attend the
conferences.

The Awstri(fm Correspondz, in announcing
the expect:thou of Lord John Russell's arrival to-
morrow, expresses sanguine hopes of peace.
The nows from Balaklava in camp states that
the navvies on board the Australia had been
guilty of a serious riot and insubordination.

VIENNA, MARCH 1.
Baron Jo Bruck is expected here to-morrow.
The Co.ngress will be opened in four days' time.
The Poste will be represented by a distinguished
dignitary besides Arif Effendi.
Mons. de Titoff and Prince Gortscbakoff will
represent Russia in the Congress ; Lord John
Russell and the Earl of Westmoreland, England ;
but M. de Bourqueney alone as yet represents
France.

For Austria M. do Buol and Baren do Prokesch-

forced. In the account given a few days since of
the strength of the Austrian army no mention was
made of the 16 regiments of gees d'armes, which
aro composed of the elite of the Austrian army. It
may be observed that General von Kempen has
brought the corps to the very highest state of
efficiency.

Such incorrect reports have been in circulation
relative to the conspiracy in Northern Italy that
the Official Gazette of Verona has considered it ne-
cessary to declare that no one has been arrested in
that city on account of political agitation. The
lately discovered conspiracy was confined to Lom-
bardy and the Roman " legations." Agreeably to
the wish recently expressed by his Majesty the
Emperor, the wealthier classes make donations to
the poor. Some of the bankers of this city have
already contributed very considerable sums.
