Foreign News.

Hent OF inc HaflS correspondent OF the London
Times gives the most definite, if not the most
authentic, account of the details of the alliance
for the defence Of Turkey. The news was
brought by the steamer Asia:
PARIS. Feb. 2l, 1854.
understand that yesterday NJ Drown de
fliuys sent off to London the text of the treaty
of alliance, offensive and defensive between
England. France and Turkey. Besides the ar
ticles already known, which stipulate that Tur-
key shall not conclude any treaty with Russia
without the consent of England and France.
and that neither of these two powers is in any
case to derive any territorial advantages from
the present war; that treaty contains other ar
ucles, which stipulate for the liberty of the
Black Sea, and the sending ofa army of occu-
patton of 100000 men TO Constantinople. OF
this number France is to furnish 10000 men.
and England 10000. r The 100000 men are all
to be assembled at Constantinople about the
middle of April. 1t appears the number of
English and French troops to be Immediately
sent out will not exceed 10000 of the former
and 5000 Of the latter.

army OF observation on the Alps is abandoned
or at all events postponed for the present, as

formation of that army will, no doubt, depend
on the attitude which Austria may assume 1t
is reported to-day that the question of the
commandership of the French portion
OF the expeditionary army is at length settled,
and that, in all probability, the Monteur of
tomorrow will announce the nomination of
Marshal Valiant to the chief command.--

Will be appointed to any command
The London Mining Chronicle, rcmarlinc
on the fact mentioned above that the army of
occupation Is to be seat to Constantnople,
says:
The argument that the allied force shall
occupy Constantinople is not understood us
limiting or controlling the operations which
may hereafter be thought expedent. The de-
tails of future campaigns will be matter for
joint consideration but they could not properly
form the materials OF q preliminary treaty
The great strength of the auxiliary army is a
sufficient proof that it is destined to take prn
cipa part in the war for third or fourth of
the intended numbers would have perfectly Sc
cured the Turkish capital against the remote
contingency of Russian attack. A hundred
thousand of the best troops in the world will
assuredly not remain idle on the Bosphorus,
while the original beligerents are engaged in
their desperate struggles on the Danube.
The London Examiner contends that Eng
land may wage successful war against Russia
without great expense or loss to herself, by
simply shutting up her ports. Its argument
derives additional interest from the plan, intro
duced by way of Illustration, upon which war
might be advantageously carried on against
the United States. 1t is contendad that in
sach an event. if England should refuse to at
tack the Southern States, and at the same time
blockade Northern ports, she would compel the
Sonth to become her ally, or either divide the
Union or cripple its power-N o. Delta.
