encouragement of the sudden death of Senator
Levi Foulkrod, of that city Of pleurisy. Mr. f.

October, and accordingly. this would have been
his second winter at Harrisburgh. The vacancy
caused by his death leaves the Senate OF Pennsy-
vania tie, provided the Wings and Know Moth
ings vote together A special election will be
called far the purpose Of filing the vacancy some
time probable in February, and we very much
fear that Know Nothing will take the place OF
Mr. Foulkrod, thus giving the Senate to the
Wings and their natural allies, the Know-Noth-

The America arrived at Liverpool, at mid

The most important intelligence brought
by the steamer in connexion with the Eastern
war is the fact that Austria has definitively
Joined the Western Powers. The MonIteur
of Paris officially announces that ON the znd
of December, treaty of alliance was signeo
| at Vienna by the plenipotentlarles OF Austria'
France and England.
The precise terms of this treaty are not
known. but it is said that if Russia does not
Weld within three months its conditions Will
come into force, or in other terms, that Aus
tr;ai will tight Oh the side of the Western Pow
ers. From an experience of the general faIth
Iessness of Austria, there was disposition to
distrust the prospect of any substantial adyan-
tage from the alliance.
The details of the losses of the Allies during
the great ale in the Black Sea, had been re-
ceived, and appeared in the London journals.
Although very severe, they are not 50 greal
as was anticipated. Fourteen ships, Prlnci-
pally sailing transports, were wrecked near y
Seyastopol. Two ships of the line french
and thirteen vessels of different classes, were
driven on shore near Eupatoria Some OF
these would be got off. Others had been
burnt to prevent their falling into the hands $
of the enemy. The Cossacks fred upon the
