THE WOUNDED AT SCUTARI.

Two British officers arrived in Paris late last night
from Constantinople on their return to England. After
the battle of the Alma they were sent to hospital at
Scutari, which they left to embark in the Emeu. They
speak in the highest terms of Miss Nightinghale and
the nurses who have so nobly devoted themselves to the
cause of humanity. The day before they left Constan-
tinople about 600 of the British troops, who had been
wounded at Inkerman, arrived at the hospital. Their
wounds and bodies were washed by these ladies, clean
linen supplied to them, and everything which the most
tender care could suggest was at hand in abundance.
One stalwart guardsman who had received three severe
wounds appeared deeply affected when he found jrimself
the object of so much solicitude. "Ah !" said he,
" now I see there are people in England who care for us
poor soldiers." Many comforts and luxuries have also
been supplied by means of the sick fund transmitted by
the agency of The Times. Surgeons are more abundant,
and altogether our wounded heroes are better oared for
than they were at the commencement of hostilities.

FRENCH CO-OPERATION 11TH OMER

PACII.A.

We find the following in a letter received this
morning from Paris :

" The news which I sent last night of the determina
tion of the French Government to send two divisions of
the army, into the principalities to eo-operate with Omer
Pacha in the aggressive operations about to be
commenced against the Russians on the Pruth and
in Bessarabia has given great satisfaction here, and
has renewed confidence to such an extent that
the French funds have risen one-and•a•half per cent.
It is understood that this important resolution is fully
approved of by the English Government, and that it
was adopted after a consultation with Lord Palmerston.
The Russian party in Paris have endeavoured to repre-
sent this great measure as a hostile demonstration
against Austria, but I have reason to believe that it has
been adopted with the full approbation of the Austrian
Government.

" I understand that in answer to a demand made
by Russia, as to the attitude to be taken by the Aus-
trian troops in the Principalities, in case of an attack by
the Turks against the Russians, the Cabinet of Vienna
has sent a note to the Cabinet of St. Petersburg, in
which it declares that orders have been sent to General
Corohini, to the effect that he is not to do anything
that may impede the operations of the Turks, or even
an invasion on their part of the Russian territories, if
such a scheme should happen to come within their plan
of operations. On the contrary, the Austrian troops are
directed to give to the Turks all possible facility for
their movements, even if they should be of an aggres-
sive character against Russia.
"Bavaria has also positively intimated her determi-
nation to adhere to the policy of Austria, and her readi-
ness to vote in the Diet, or sign any proposition by
which she would set ctien that policy.'

Another letter contains the following

"It is believed in quarters generally ;ell informed
that before long Austria will be forced to declare un-
equivocally whether she really means or not to take an
active part with the Allies in the operations new going
on.. To a note that has been received within the last
few days from Vienna, and which purports to explain
file position of that Power, and which declares
her continued adherence to the principles of the notes of
the Btlrof April, an answer of a decidedly categorical
kind will ..be returned by this Government. Indeed,
matters have reached such a point as that a formal rup.
tore with Austria is not considered as improbable' or
distant, . in the meantime it is asserted that a resolu-
tion has been adopted by this Goveraineattitte,uto a testconcur-
rence with England, which will bring
