THE TREATY WITH SWEDEN.

PARIS, DEc. 20.

The Moniteur publishes the treaty concluded
on the 21st of November between. France, Eng-
land, and Sweden.
It is declared that the treaty is concluded to
prevent every complication of a nature to trouble
the balance of power in Europe.

By Article 1 the King of Sweden engages him-
self not to cede to Russia, nor to exchange with
her, nor to allow her to occupy any portion of
the territories belonging to the Crown of Sweden
and Norway.

" His Majesty the King of Swedon and Norway
engages himself, moreover, not to cede to Russia
any right of pasturage, or fishing ground, or of
any other nature whatsover, as wall for the said
territories as for the coast of Sweden and Nor-
way, and to reject any claim (pretention) Russia
might raise to establish the existence of any of the
above-named rights.

Art. 2. In case Russia should make any pro-
position to his Majesty the King of Sweden and
Norway, or any demand with a view to obtain
either the cession or exchange of any portion
whatever of territory belonging to the Crowns of
Sweden and Norway, be it the permission
to occupy certain points of the said territory,
or the cession of fishing or pasturage rights, or of
any other, on those same territories, or on the
coast of Sweden and Norway, his Majesty the
King of Sweden and Norway engages himself to
communicate immediately such proposition to his
Majesty the Emperor of the French and to her
Majesty the Queen of England ; and their said
Majesties take on their part the engagement to
provide his Majesty the King of Sweden and
Norway with sufficient naval and military forces
to co-operate with the naval and military forces
of his said Majesty, with a view to resist the
claims or aggressions of Russia.

" The nature, the importance, and the destina-
tion of the forces in question shall, the case
occurring, be decided by a common agreement
between the three Powers."

HAMBURG, Dec. 19.

The Borsenhalle states that the treaty just ra-
tified at Stockholm concedes to France and Eng-
laid the privilege of establishing depots and hos-
pitals on Swedish territory. In return, the
Western Powers undertake to maintain the in-
tegrity of Sweden against Russia, should the
latter treat the conduct of the Swedes as a breach
of neutrality, and declare war.

BRUSSELS, DEC. 19.

It is believed that a treaty of offensive alliance
exists between England, Fraice, and Sweden, but
will not be made public until the time for active

00-operation in the spring.

The Jourdain, whose arrival at Marseilles we

announced yesterday, brings accounts from Con-
stantinople to the 10th, and from the Crimea to

the sth inst.

The return of Rosebud Paella to power and the
1 formation of a new Ministry here are considered
probable. Baron Prokesch-Osten, the Austrian
Internuncio, is expected on tho 14th.
It is rumoured that important dislocations of
troops in the Crimea are about to be made. 3,000
troops of the Egyptian Contingent have embarked
for Asia.

The weather in the Crimea has been most
severe. The Tchernaya has overflowed. A suc-
cession of violent tempests have levelled some of
the army huts, but no loss of life occurred.
On the 14th General Mouravieff summoned
Kars to surrender. A Council of War was held,
General Williams presiding. They requested de-
lay, and sent Colonel Thompson to Erzeroum.

with 10,000 men, had not moved from Erzeroum.
Three thousand Egyptians, part of his force,
embarked from Eupatoria, were too late. Colonel
Thompson returned on the 22d. The, garrison
was reduced by famine. The horse-flesh oven
was reserved for the men in the hospitals. On

General Mouravieff. They agreed upon the terms
of an honourable capitulation. The 8,000 sur-
viving Turks were surrendered prisoners of war.
