THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL.

CAPTURE OF A RUSSIAN REDOUBT OF
NINE GUNS BY THE ENGLISH.
VIENNA, TUESDAY MORNING.
The Lloyd contains the following, dated Sebas-
topol, November 25 :
" The Russians made a sortie, and were repulsed
by the English. While pursuing the enemy, the
English got possession of a battery of nine guns,
which they maintain.
" The transport of Turkish reinforcements from
Baltschik to the Crimea continues.
" A hundred and forty-six ship guns have been
landed by the Allies, and will be employed in the

siege."

An English Regiment, from the Piraeus, arrived
on the 20th, and the next day detachments from
the Guards, Ist, 7th, 23d, and 95th Regiments,
to the number of 1,200 men, landed at Balaklava..

The Journal de St. Petersbourg, of the 28th
ult., announces that Prince Menschikoff, writing
on the 18th of November, reports the damage
done by the storm to have been very great among
the shipping of the Allies all along the Crimean
coast.

The fire of the batteries grew weaker and
weaker each day, and the approaches of the enemy
were entirely suspended.
The Russian loss for several days had only
been four killed and 14 wounded.

The English had attempted to establish them-
selves near the head of the dockyard, but had
been repulsed with loss.

We have received the following communication
from our correspondent at Berlin, dated last
night :

" A despatch from St. Petersburg of the sth
inst. mentions that Prince Menschikoff, writing
on the 27th ult., states :
" The Allies continue their bombardment of
Sebostopol, but their fire is weak, and causes us
scarcely any loss or damage.

" It is obvious that they are strengthening
their position and establishing new batteries, but
the fire of the latter has not yet opened.' "

THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
VIENNA, MONDAY EVENING.
The following will probably be found correct :
" The convention concluded on Saturday was a
triple alliance. The last article in the Anglo-
French treaty of alliance was that the other Euro-
pean Powers should be at liberty to accede to it,
and Austria has now done so. The sense of the
treaty probably is
"I. That Austria has engaged to consider
every violation of the Turkish territory by Rus-
sia as equivalent to a declaration of war against
herself.

" 2. That Austria will reinforce her army in
the Principalities, so that Omer Pacha may at
once begin operations, the Imperial troops re-
maining as a kind of regerve.

" 3. At the demand of the Western Powers

Austria will place 15,000 or 25,000 men at
Varna, which, in case of need, can be sent to the

Crimea.

"4. England and Franco pledge themselves
that the territorial possessions of the Emperor of
Austria shall, under all circumstances, remain un-
diminished."
There is a secret article.

After the triple alliance has beeu ratified
Prussia will be invited to accede to it.
The Ost Deutsche Post has the following :

" Report says that Russia will now be sum-
moned, unconditionally, to accede to certain con-
ditions within one month. If she refuses, Aus-
tria declares war."

We have also received the following despatch,
dated last night, from Paris :

" It is confidently stated that the time accorded

to Russia to declare her intentiens by the three
Powers who have signed the treaty of the 2d of
December is only a month."

A despatch from Warsaw announces that the
Ist Corps of Russian infantry is being concentrated
on the left bank of the Vistula, and that the corps
of Paniutin is marching towards Volhynia and
Podolia.

A telegraphic despatch from Madrid, dated
yesterday evening, announces that 146 deputies,
against 40, had declared that the Ministry of the
Duke of Victoria deserves the confidence of the
Cortes.
