The HoaeEr published yesterday imperial decree pro-
eating the treaty Of alliance concluded between France
England and Turkey This treaty signed the 18th
of March at Constannople. The distinct Of the
motive which has peled their Maestie the Emperor
French and the Queen of England aid the Sultan in his
struggle with the Czarnamey, their full conviction
the existence Of the Ottoman empire, in its present limits Is
essential TO the maintenance Of the balance Of power between
the States Of Europe fail to show how strictly Eu
ropean question Is mainly involved in this war; and how
slightly the western allies claim, BY such motive
least the ympahies Of Americans. Nor American sym
pathes in their behalf at all likely to be excited by the evil
dent readiness Of both the English and French
purchase the alliance OF Austria by anctonng and abe
ting the traditional hostility Of that house the
uonary tendencies Of the There few Americans
presume, who continue mistake the actual in which
Europe engaged conflict between despots and lib
Inv b,
the powers and Turkey. A writer in Partisan
Journal which boasts of its ultra montanist principles and
does wholly conceal its legtmist predictions has
perceive easerted the old claim of the French nation be
the head OF civilization, Ga claim by altogether
unfounded,) the ground that the imperial government
summoned TO the by appealing to its chiv
arc and dnterested willingness sacrifice blood and
behalf its Turkish allies territory tina Gar has
threatened and behalf of Europe and the world trembling
before the of his northern hordes The writer adds
with all due protesaons of respect for England the
pected ally France that it, nrority in point Of cviiza
ton manifest from the different nature of tho appeals which
the English cabinet and the English press have made to the
English people order awaken their enthusiasm in the
General principles and dsineresed motives scarcely al
uded in these appeals which almost exclusively taken
with display Of the commercial advantages to be derived
from the policy determined by the British
So says the sesatisfed Frenchman ntimatng moreover
that the Of this superiority Of IA yade nation is in its
being Catholic nation IT. without discussing with the ed

Protestant nations in the scale of modern civilization

The convention between Austria and Prussia which was
published in the Pres Last evening" vaguely indicates that
in certain eases-which perhaps specified in the
military stpuatons annexed the convention and
yet publishedthese two powers viii recognise the
beH which Russia unlikely offer them The prev
alent feeling in Paris since the levy BY Austria Of 900
has been that the allied western must count
that government associate II said that in St.
1 Petersburgh the same feeling prevails
Among the rumors" Of considerable gravity
uounced By the Pays the faith Of German Journal 70
the effect that the imperial treasury has been removed from
ST. Peterburgh to Moscow. Il added that many families
Of nobility have left their city residences carrying with
them in the country their precious plate furniture
forth. Ask Wesley Smithwho passed through Paris
his way from ST. Petersburgh Washington last weekf
he thinks this true and IL the danger ID indicates Of
successful attack by English and French sailors upon ST.
Petersburg itself imminent and his viii proba-
bly, be emphacaly negative than would suit the
polite o. the Yscoun Ia Guerronare Of the Pays Mr.
smith may have good think that the sixteen
miles" according the London Daily News between Cron-
and St Petersburgh viii prove very long miles indeed
| even for cold Charley himself
Another rumor which has caused talk here Il tho
following, also given BY German Journal in letter from
\ ConstantinopIe, dated May
An American fEate said have passed Darda-
nee coming from Malta laden with eleven steam machines
for Russia In the Black Il hoisted English coloa and
close into SebasOpol where hosted American coors
and got safely with its into the port Some
deed that the fgate ordered in America Cor Russia

The plan OF the campaign in the East drawn up Marshal
ST. Armand COnstannop has been received BY the Min
er Of War Paris The ategts Of the newspaper, may
safely reposc for while from their abors. But tho
public learn patience and WILL in view Of all probab-
ties both the North and the East The necessary aug
mentaton 81 the allied the East before offensive oper-
atoms against the Crimea fairly be commenced win
the delay for which impatient newspaper readers
London and Paris had made little allowance Their curiosity
yet fully satisfied the question whether the Tiger
has been stranded Odessa and lie captured But
they pretty much agreed that whether the report

but very slim victory, IL victory Il be called. They
inclined 70 suspect that X averred Gen. 0sten-ack
three o. the asirone the Gar,
one partially the MnSter Of War and the third al
most wholly false for the general readerlhat possibly
Admiral Hamelin may have initiated his example.
The report o. the capture and destruction Of the fortress
GusafSwern, with 500 prisoners taken by Sir Charles
Napier has furnished text You VIII for abundant
defamation in the Lonon journals the policy Of Sweden
during the the possibility that Der neutral policy
be abandoned. But who shall calculate the eventual
