what sublimity it rises in celebrating their courage ; what
a pedestal it erects for their devotedness ! A man can die
with joy when so honoured. More than once, we also—the
organs of opinion in France—we could have wished to follow
our soldiers on the fields of battle, to live on the glory
which they acquired, and to identify ourselves by the
grandeur and the poetry of our homage with all their
efforts. They do not do less than the English ' • they
strike and die like them, and like them they excite admi-
ration. But why not avow it ? Why should they be less
celebrated ? The French press has not the warm accents,
the acclamations of which resdund on the other side of the
channel ; the phrases of our writers have not the sacred
flame which burns beneath the pen of their colleagues of
the city. It is not, however, either the patriotism
or the talent of the French press that must be
accused for this. At other periods it has proved
before history what it knew and what it could do. How
often has it been seen to animate all, and to incite all !
When its voice, its true voice, the free echo of a free public
opinion, sounded either in the country or in the world,
there was no other voice. There was even a time when it
guarded the frontiers conjointly with the armies, and
history can say that the enemy did not cross them. No !
We do not fear to make open avowal of the truth. Ts not
the right of speaking to the nation, of every day exciting
it to disinterestedness and to glory, and of leaving no
repose to its love of honour, in a manner taken from us ?
Are we not a little the parias of the law ? Precautions are
taken against the press by every means which surveillance
can furnish. It has been wished that it should have no
strength for what has been called mischief ; it has been
desired that it should lose its sounding voice, its prestige
similar to the eclat of the sun, its guos ego forming and
arresting storms. The journalist—formerly the man of
the moment and of enthusiasm—has become the man• of
reasoning and of tactics; his ink, formerly so burning,
has been chilled ; his periods, in order to be irreproachable
in the eye of the law, are to be carefully revised and cor-
rected—in a word, we have been deprived of what was
nevertheless our principal merit—that of thinking aloud,
and of writing what we thought. We do not complain,
we do not recriminate ; but do not let public opinion in

England and France be any longer compared. Let it not
be any longer asked why, whilst Frenchmen and English-
men fall side by side, with the same heroism for the same
cause, the praises resound louder at London than in Paris.

free, also the consecration of sacrifices and of glory ?

Bacon was scarce and wanted; small

to Great Britain. Lard was firmer, and more active for
export. In butter and cheese there was a steady fair

business.
Mr. W. P. Wright, in his circular of the 28th Nov.,
states that the extent of the present crop was still a mat-

ter of spec

business, and though opinions differed less than usual,
there was still a margin of 2,000,000 bales in the extremes.
He also states that from reliable information he had re-
ceived from the growing districts of the absence of all
complaints as to the existence during the entire' season of
the boll worm, army worm, or caterpillar, and the occur-
rence of frost at a very late period, he had come to the
conclusion that the present indications are, that the new
crop would be the largest ever made in the United States.
BREADSTIIFFS.—Prices of flour had improved to' the
extent of 121 c. per barrel on the favourable intelligence
from England, but the demand was very moderate at the
enhanced rates. Canadian flour continues in fair request
for export and home use,- at $8 62A-c. to $8 75c. in bond.
Wheat continued in fair request, and prices were quoted
sc. per bushel higher than pn the 21st instant. The de-
mand for Indian corn for shipment to Gre'at Britain had
caused an advance of 3c. to• 4e. per bushel.

SALT.—The market was in -better supply, and more
activity was manifested. The sales were 2,080 sacks,
Ashton's Liverpool fine, at $1,75, 4 months ; 800 sacks
Marshall's ditto, from store, and 4,375 sacks coarse Liver-
pool, previous to, arrival.
Inox.—All descriptions of iron were very dull, and
there was nothing doing except in Scotch Pig, in a small
way, at $34, $35, and $36, 6 months; the latter price
delivered.
COALS.—The market for foreign coals continued de-
pressed, and importers of Liverpool had sold in large and
small lots, ex ships, some 750 tons, at $8 to $9 for Orrel,
and $12.50c., 4 months for cannel, and $8.50c., ctsh, for
gas cannel.

FEEIGHTS.—The market of Great Britain was a shade
firmer, with increased offerings. In other directions there
was no perceptible change in rates. The rates were, to
Liverpool : cotton, 3-16 d. per lb. ; flour, Is. 9d. to 2s. per
barrel.; grain, 6d. per bushel. To London, from-, 2s. per
barrel ; grain, 7d. per bushel. To Glasgow, wheat, 6d.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 27.—The advices by the Baltic
have imparted a heavy tone to our market for cotton, and
prices, although not quotably lower, are decidedly easier.
The sales to-day were 4,000 bales.—Nov. 28. The cotton
market is unchanged. The sales for the day are 7,000
bales. Middlings we quote at 81-c. In bacon, prices are

THE WAR.

A telegraphic despatch of November 28, from General.
Canrobert, published in Thursday's Moniteur, announces :
The rain has ceased, and the weather seems disposed to
improve. Our works will now exhibit fresh activity. Our
reinforcements continue to arrive, and I have just received
the 6th Regiment of Dragoons, the 6th Battalion of Chas.
seurs, besides various detachments of different regiments.
The enemy still shows no signs of activity, but continues
to protect the town by repeated retrenchments.
The Russians are stated in other despatches to have
attempted two sorties, one against the French works,
which was repulsed with a loss of 230 men, the French
losing about 75. The•second sortie was directed on the
25th ult., against the English entrenchments, but the
Russians were so vigorously repelled that our troops got.
p ossession of a battery of nine guns, which they retained.

The transport of Turkish reinforcements from
Baltschik to the Crimea still continue. One hundred and
forty-six ship-guns had been landed by the allies to be
employed in the siege.
A despatch from St. Petersburg of the sth inst. men-
tions that Prince Mensehikoff, writing on the 27th of
November, states :
The allies continue their bombardment of Sebastopol ;
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.
A brief chronicle of the siege operations, for some days
subsequently to the disasters of the 14th of November,
appears in the Times of Friday as received from their
correspondent in the camp. His letter is dated " Bala-
klava, November 21st :

On the 14th a fearful hurricane passed over the camp.
All the tents were blown down and the men exposed to
rain and cold and hungei for the day. At night the Rus-
sians attacked the French lines and were repulsed. The
gale and rain abated at night.
On the 15th nothing was done, the siege progressing
slowly. The Sampson, which shelled the Russians at
Katscha when they came down to make prisoners of the
crews, and forced them back, is dismasted, and will have
to land her heavy guns. Admiral Lyons visited Lord
Raglan,' having come on shore from the Agamemnon at
Kamisch Bay. Several of our troops died from cold and
exhaustion yesterday, and. many horses perished. The
camp is a sea of mud. The Russians are quiet and de-
pressed. Lord Burghersh • has arrived in the Colombo
(laden with ordnance stores).
Nov. 16.—The mails have• not arrived. The siege fire
is very slack on both sides; A fine work is completed,
overlooking the Inkerman-road. The French have re-
ceived reinforcements. The Jura completed landing troops
and stores at Kamisch Bay.

Nov. 17.—The Tonning left with Colonel Bateson, Dr.
Dumbreck, &c., for home. Many officers are applying for
leave. Lard Raglan has ordered that no officer shall be
permitted to leave for Scutari without a medical board.
Men and officers are beginning to hut themselves for the
winter.

Nov. 18.—The weather is finer and more temperate.
The Russians in the valley are said to have received rein-
forcements. Arrangements are made by the English and
Russians for the exchange of Lord Dunkellin with a
Russian captain of artillery taken at Mackenzie's Farm.
The Czar declared, through Prince Menschikoff, that he
had no desire to detain his lordship.
Nov. 19.—The Medway left for Constantinople, with
sick, under charge of 'Dr. Tice. The French made a re-
connoissance en force this morning, and saw the Rus-
sians repairing a great quantity of tumbrils, gun-carriages,
&c., damaged by our• fire on the 6th of December. More
reinforcements have arrived.
Nov. 20.—The Orinoco has arrived in the harbour, with
the 97th Regiment on board, and landed them. It has
been raining< all day. The Queen of the South arrived
this evening with, draughts of various regiments, Guards,
&c. There was a good deal of firing to-day on the French
and on our lines, which we both replied to very briskly.
The French are landing men and stores every hour at
Kamisch Bay.
Further advises from before Sebastopol, of the 22nd,
state that the defensive works of the English, between
the right of their line of attack and Balaklava, were nearly
completed. An English regiment, from the Pirmus, ar-
rived on-the, 20th, and the next day detachments from
the Guards, Ist, 7th, 23rd, and 95th Regiments, to the
number of 1,200 men, landed at Balaklava. French re-
inforcements were also continually arriving. The firing
from the batteries was kept up.
An Odessa correspondent of the Fremden Blatt writes,
that a train of several hundreds of waggons, laden with
provisions and munitions for the Russian troops at Bask 6
Serai, was " surprised by the frightful snowstorms in
the steppes south of Perekop, and annihilated." Sebas-
topolis provisioned for not more than fourteen or- sixteen
weeks, and the Russian relieving army altogether de-
pends for its support upon the supplies sent from .Southern
Russia. These are conveyed in all descriptions of vehicles,
principally_ drawn by . oxen, which are as much exposed to
destruction in the Taurian steppes as the ships of the
Allies in the Black Sea.

A Vienna despatch of Thursday says :—" Advices from
Sebastopol, of the 27th November, have been received
here. The siege was zealously continue& The Russians
had sunk another liner near the mouth of the harbour.
Reinforcements to the number of 9,000, ram had reached
the Allies in the Crimea. The Duke of Cambridge was
expected at Constantinople." 500 French have gone to
Bucharest and Ibrailia.

Colonels
Dieu and Mireconrt have gone to inspect
Isaktcba and Toultscha.

It would appear frays the Globe) from later and detailed
intelligence, that the Russians engaged at Inkerman were
more numerous than was at first supposed. Calculating
the battalion at 700 men (according to Dannenberg's
account), the whole of the troops engaged on the sth
would amount to 66,900 men. The grand attack on the
English position was made by 35,100 men, or 503/4- bat-
talions, with a reserve of 11,200 men. This attacking
army consisted of the 4th corps, comprising the first and
second brigades of the divisions Soimonoff and Pauloff,
with one battalion of rifles, in all 17,500 men ; and the
6th corps, comprising the first and second brigades of the
divisions Kevitsenski and Kirjakoff, with a battalion of
rifles and half a battalion of sappers, in all 17,900. • The
reserve of 11,200 was formed by a regiment from each of
the divisions of Soimonoff, Pauloff, and Kirjakoff, and four
reserve battalions of the 13th division.
The sortie from the bastion No. 6 was made by a force
of 6,500 men, that is, two regiments of the 14th division,
sth corps, one regiment making the sortie, and the second
acting as reserve.
The demonstration upon the right flank of the British
was carried out by the 4rst and second brigades of the

FRENCII TROOPS IN LONDON.—A small detachment of
French Sappers and Miners, seven men and one sergeant,
under charge of Lieutenant Latreille, officer of the Legion
of Honour, traversed the streets of London, on Friday, in
heavy marching order, en route for Gloucester, to take
charge of a number of wooden huts constructed there for
the French army in the Crimea. The lieutenant and his
men were sumptuously entertained in the Great Western
Hotel, free of charge, and, by the kindness of Captain
Buckley, were forwarded to their destination by the
express train at ordinary fares.

ANOTHER GREEK CONSPIRACY. The Lloyd of
Vienna says :—" A letter from Constantinople states that
the Government authorities are still pursuing their inves-
tigation into the circumstances of the plot which was dis-
covered some weeks back. It had been organised, it
appears, in the fortresses of the Danube, and had ramifi-
cations in the• whole of the peninsula as far as Pera,
Salonica, and the Greek frontiers. The conspirators sup-
posed, or perhaps knew, that the Russians would make a
second diversionztowards the Danube in the course of the
winter, and at that moment all the mountaineers of
Roumelia, Bulgaria, and Macedonia, anti Epirus, were to
rise."

south of Cape Chersonese, is most delightfully situated.
Unfortunately, being exposed to the first fury of the tem-
pest, it received its full violence. The Church was shaken
to its foundations, and much damaged. Some of the iron
gates were flung down with pieces of the wall, and the
sheet iron roofing was carried away like pieces of paper,.to
a distance of two or three kilometres (II to 1,7, Engllsh

miles). It was only yesterday we began to breathe freely.
Fine weather and a bright sun have returned, and we are
endeavouring to profit by the rude lesson which Heaven
sent us.

The Debats asserts that Admiral Hamelin has not yet
lost all hope of floating the Henri IV. This operation,
always so difficult, would be in present circumstance?,
under the enemy's fire, a success perhaps unheard of iB
the annals of the navy. It is known that Captain
Jehenne and the crew are still on board the shipwrecked
vessel, which they are endeavouring to lighten completely,
and which keeps the enemy at a distance with her guns.

THE TREATY WITH AUSTRIA,

THE Paris correspondent of the Morning Chronicle,
writing
_on the 7th, gives the following summary of the

t of the triple treaty

" The treaty commences by repeating and recording
the declarations and the principal acts of the conference
at Vienna, as well as the declarations and engagements
contained in the notes exchanged on the Bth of August,
1864, between the high contracting parties.
" It maintains the four points of guarantee as the ne-

cessary basis of peace, at the same time that it reserves
and recognises to each of the Powers the faculty of ex-
tending them by additional conditions.
" Austria binds herself to France and England, as she
had already done to Turkey by the treaty of the 14th of
June, 1854, to occupy the Principalities for the purpose
of repulsing the Russian troops, if they attempted to
re-enter them.

LORD DUNKELLIN—EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS.
The following is a translation of the original French
text of the letter sent by the Russian Minister of War to
the Marquis of Clanricarde, with referencer to the setting
at liberty of his lordship's son, Lord Dunkellin :
" My Lord,—The Emperor, my august master, recalling
to, mind, with pleasure., the time in which your excellency
occupied at St. Petersburg the post of ambassador of her
Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, experiences a real sa-
tisfaction in restoring to yon your son, whom thachances of
war have delivered into our hands. His Majesty is gra-
tified at being thereby enabled to anticipate the proposi-
tion just made by Lord Raglan to Prince Mensehikoff, to
exchange Lord Dunkellin for a Russian artillery officer,
who was taken prisoner by the English troops near Sebas-
topol. Conformably to his Majesty's will, I now give the
order to send your son from.Kalouga, where he is at pre-
sent, to London, by way of Warsaw.
"As for the Russian officer, above referred to, who, I
suppose, is Captain Kousowleff;T invite Prince Mensehikoff
to request Lord Raglan to deliver him to us in exchange
for Lord Dunkellin, who will very soon be at liberty.
"If Captain Kousowleff happens to be already in Eng-
land, he will, we have every ground for hoping, be sent
back to Russia, just as your son- has been authorised to
return to England.—Accept, &c.,

" Austria proclaims the right, as justly belonging to
Turkey and to the Allies, of making all the movements
which may suit them for the purpose of attacking either
the Russian troops or the Russian territory.
" If, in consequence of her attitude in the Principalities,
or for any other cause, Austria• should find herself at war
with Russia, the alliance offensive and defensive between
her, France, and England, shall be established by the
fact of the war.

"If before the end of the present year 1854, Russia
should not have made propositions which are considered

acceptable, and which ensure good and durable peace, the
three Powers will advise as to the means of obtaining
that peace. _ _ _

" the three high contracting Powers bind themselves
not to accept any proposition for the re-establishment of
peace without having deliberated upon it in common.
" Such are the terms of this important treaty,"

ANOTHER NESSELRODE NOTE

THE following is the text of a note-by Count Nesselrode,
respecting the contents of which speculation has been for
a time very busy. It is addressed to the Russian Ambas-
sador at the Court of Berlin :

St. Petersburg, Nov. 6.

BATTLE OF

M. le Baron,—lnformation which reaches us from various
quarters proves that at the present moment nearly all the
German governments are possessed with a common fear,
that of seeing a schism arise between the two German
powers respecting the affairs of the East, an event which
might endanger the tranquility of the common country,
and even imperil the existence of the. Germanic confedera-
tion. Faithful to the policy which it has pursued from
the commencement of this deplorable complication, and
desiring to circumscribe its disastrous consequences within
the narrowest possible limits, the Emperor, our august
master, has wished, in the present conjuncture, and as far
as on him depends, to preserve Germany from the curse
which would menace it in such a case.

You are therefore, M. le Baron, to declare to the Prus-
sian Cabinet that the Emperor is disposed to take part in
negotiations which should have for their object the re-
establishment of peace, and for which the four propositions
set forth below should serve as a starting. point—namely
1. The religious and civil rights of the Christian po-
pulatiOn subject to the Sultan, without distinction of rites
to be assured by the common guarantee of the five Powers..

Detail of Russian infantry brought forward on the stl
November, as shown by Russian official and other doen

2. The Protectorate of the Principalities exercised in
common by the Five Powers on the same conditions as our
treaties. with the Porte have stipulated im their favour.

3. Revision of the treaty of 1841. Russia will not
oppose-its abolition, if the Sultan, the principal party con-
cerned, consents to it.
4. Freedom of navigation on the Danube, which
exists de jure, and which Russia never had the intention
of obstructing.
This determination is founded, of course, on the suppo-
sition_that the Western Powers will faithfully fulfil the
engagement they have contracted in the face of Europe,
to secure the future weal of the Christian populations. of
the Ottoman empire, that their religious. and civil rights
shall be placed henceforth under the guarantee of all the
powers, and that thus the chief object Russia has in view
in the-present war shall be obtained.
If the sentiments that have dictated the present declara-
tion tails Majesty the Emperor are appreciated in Germany,
as we are bound to suppose, we think we may indulge in the
hope that the Confederation, reunited on the same ground,
and completely re-assured as to the German interests en-
gaged in the question, will profit by its unanimity to
weigh in the balance of Europe in favour-of a peace, of
which Austria and Prussia have presented spontaneously
to us, in the four points, a basis that that will purfectly,
satisfy them.

ments

If, on the contrary, this union maintained once more by
the•care of Russia, has been desired to be used as a pre-
text for advancing fresh conditions incompatible both in
substance and form with her dignity. The Emperor has
no doubt that the States of the Confederation will repel
such pretensions whencesoever they may proceed, as con-
trary to the loyal sentiments they are animated with, as
likewise to the true interests of Germany.
The Emperor thinks that, in return for the deference
with which he has accepted the prayers addressed to him,
he has a right in all justice to demand of them a neutrality
maintained with all firmness and perseverance, such as was
proclaimed at the commencement •of the present contest.
