perplexities of the Cabinet, however much they
may condemn and disapprove its proceedings•
Unfortunately too much is known already they
say ; but we, at least, ought not to contribute to
the extension of this unwholesome knowledge by a
public debate and hostile address. The project
will therefore most probably not be supported by
more than thirty of the extreme Left.
The Prussian Moniteur announces the taking
possessiOn by Prussia of the territory of Jade,
which she has acquired by treaties entered into on
the 20th July and Ist December, 1853, and also
publishes the ordinance regulating the provisional
management of that territory.

AUSTRIA.
Before the Triple Alliance was signed, Count
Arnim was duly informed of what was about to
take place. Austria was resolved to have two
strings to her bow. Shs has Germany and Prussia
for her defensive, and England and France for her
offensive allies. On Sunday there was a great rout
at Count Buol's at which all the beau monde of
Vienna was assembled with the exception of the
members of the Russian Embassy. It is related
that Prince Gortschakoff, who is now here, is to
be the successor, or the Adlatus, of Count .Nessel-
rode.

THE REINFORCEMENTS.

Yesterday the detachment of the First Royals now en
duty in the Tower received orders to hold themselves in
readiness to embark for the Crimea.
The depot of the Ist battalion Rifle Brigade is nog
890 strong. It is expected that they will within a short
time embark for the Crimea. They were only 100 strong
when the head-quarters and subsequent draught
barked for the seat of war.
The 72d proceed by rail from Limerick to Cork, to
embark in the Neptune for Malta. The 72d depot moves
to Kilkenny.
The 9th, 17th, 39th, and 89th depots are ordered to
Limerick to form a provisional battalion, on the depar-
ture of the 72d Regiment.
The 62d depot has been held in readiness to move
from Belfast to Mullinger, where it is to be consolidated
with the 14th and 90th depots. This move is in coyote'
sequence of the service companies having been ordered
from Malta to the Crimea.
The 18th (Royal Irish) Regiment embarked in the
Manilla steam-transport at Spithead last night, for con-
veyance to the Crimea. They go out 1,100 strong, the
number having been made up on very short notice bi
drafts from various regiments, including the 36th, 58tb,
51st, 91st, sth, and 65th. The 18th arrived from the
South Coast Railway in two trains, the first reaching
Portsmouth about three o'clock, and the second a little
more than an hour afterwards. The band of the Royal
Wiltshire Militia awaited their arrival, and headed
them, by way of Lion-gate and Queen-street to Porte
month docky rl. A,l along the route there were crowds
of the inhabitants, who gave the troops a very cordial
reception. On arriving at the dockyard the first part'',
which numbered about 500 men, at once embarked in
the Sprightly, Master-Commander Allen, and within the
space of 15 or 20 minutes they were on their waY t°
Spithead. They received on leaving the dockyard jetty
three hearty cheers from the spectators, which thei
returned in good earnest. The remaining corepaniell
embarked on their arrival in the Echo, Comet, ana,
Pigmy steam tugs. The embarkation, which was not
completed before dark, was conducted with good order,
and regularity, The 18th is under the command 0'
Colcnel Reignolds. The whole of the officers came With
the regiment, and gn out to the seat of war. On inquiry.
we found that not a single man in the regiment has ye
been furnished with a Minie rifle. We are told that thei
expect to get therm on their arrival in the Crimea.

The Firefly steamer was so heavily laden with stores
that she could not take any troops, and she left Os
Royal Arsenal yesterday, at 1 o'clock, a.m., direct for
Balaklava.
