KALISCH, SEPT. 7.

Russia has gained another victory, without the shedding
of one drop of blood ! The wary Metternich has been
brought over to the views of Russia, and his scruples si-
lenced by the magnanimity of the Emperor Nicholas It
will be shortly seen that the. expenditure of eight millions
of dollars, to add every brilliancy of lustre to the meeting
of the Northern Monarchs, was but a blind to cover a
deep-laid plan, which it was requisite Austria should con-
sent to ; this is now done. All praise is due to Russian
diplomacy, and the manner in which the Emperor's agents
have conducted this business proves that skill andjudgment
are at home in that cabinet. A treaty has been prepared—
and already sanctioned by the Ministers of Austria, Russia,
and Prussia—and at Tceplitt It will be ratified by the Mo-
narchs. Russia will then be prepared to speak in a different
tone to England, and instead of evading a war will probably
seek one ; by that time her fleet in the Black Sea will be ready
for action. Her army will be encamped in Poland, down to
the gates of Thorn, and in five minutes can be united with
that of Prussia, menacing Louis Philippe, should he venture
to stir ; but he has already given his tacit compliance to
their plans, in the vain hope of being protected by them,
should his own subjects revolt against him. Austria, or
more properly speaking, Metternich, has etitnerited to this
treaty, upon the SOLEMN assurances of the Emperor Ni-
cholas that he will never aggrandise his territories by Con-
quering Turkey, which the Emperor and his Ministers now
openly avow no power could prevent, if he attempted it.
Ausiria; pledges 'herself` never .to_recognise the queen of
Spain, but to assist the endeavours of Don Carlos to regain
the throne—not to interfere, directly or indirectly, with
the affairs of Poland, should the Emperor think proper to
alter its present government. Russia will support Austria
in maintaining her ascendancy in Italy, and in case of a
breaking out of war, Prussia will immediately occupy
Saxony, Hanover, the small Principalities, and the Hanse
Towns. This is some Ka of a trcaty whiA will lwatified
1,
Very large sums or moneyhave been forwarded to Don
Carlos, and the agents of iinssia and Prussia have con-
stantly conveyed to that Prince the sentiments of their
masters, with the caution to risk no general engagement till
they were prepared to defend his right mid title to the
Crown. They have constantly threatened the King 9f the
French with their high displeasure, should ho grant any
assistance to the Queen, and in this they have too fortu-
nately succeeded. England will now have to bear the
weight of this Alliance ; and unless Lord Palmerston acts
very differently to what he has hitherto, the balance of
power in Europe will be lost by the stroke of a pen I
Napoleon's system against England will be followed up,
but more sagaciously, and with the greatest caution. Prus-
sia and Russia have for years past been acting upon his prin-
ciples, while England remained a silent spectator ; and it is
now more than probable that they will reap the triumph of
victory without the loss of a man.
KALISCII, SEPT. 6.—The Russian troops are in a dread-
ful state for want of provisions. The scarcity of water is
dreadful. Flour and a little water, with potatoe herbs, are
now their only subsistence Three Russian contractors
have been sent to Siberia for defraudation, and two Russian
officers of high rank are undergoing a severe examination
for not looking better into these things. The soldiers de-
sert by hundreds to' look after provision, but are generally
escorted back by the Prussians, and then receive a most
dreadful flogging. Any stranger passing the Emperor's
house three times is sure to b arrested, and nothing can
exceed the severe examination of every individual, whose
curiosity has led him here—unless he has received an invita-
tion. Many with whom I have spoken wish they were
safely out of the claws of these barbarians. All eyes are
now fixed upon Tceplitz, where the second drama is to be
acted—though the best informed assert all has been already
agreed upon, and only W4l t 9 the ratification of the three
monarchs.—Morning Paper.
