Private Adyices from the Seat of War.

The Africa which arrived on the 9th brings
nothing new to the Eastern Question. 4 few Skin
mishes have taken place, but nothing important
or in any way decisive has taken place. The New
York papers are yet publishing the details of the
news by previous arrival. In the n. Y. Eve,
Post of the goth, we find the following, which is
not very hattering to those who believe in the
eventual success of the Allies The ball is but
just opened, and the troubles growing out of this
clash of arms have but Just commenced. Says
the Post:
''Some recent intelligence from Europe. receiv-
ed from quarter which we are Informed that
reliance is to be placed, imparts totally new as
pect TO the BY private advices of very
late date from Silistria we learn that the Russians
have indeed retreated from the siege of that place
bat less baffied by the Turks than as precaution
against the movements of the allies and with a
view to defeat them IN their projected descent on
the Crimea. The treachery OF Austria, or its
complete accordance with Russia Is now patent
to every one; and by submitting to be the ready
dupes of the cabinet of Vienna in the recent treaty.
the Turks have not only grievousy offended the
amour pr1pre of England and France without

affections of these powers, they have refused every
offer of aid Not only have proiieIs OF assistance
from the liberals OF England, France, Polond, Hun

from the Americans also 1t having lately come
to the ears of the authorities of Constantinople-
whether truly falsely we do not know-that a
number of Americans either collectively or indi-
vidually, might arrive in the Dardanelles to their
assistance, orders issued that unless as civil
ans strictly private individuals, they should not
be permitted TO land. In the present utter pros
rration of the Ottoman treasury and the entire
failure of its agents to raise loan in either Lon
don or Paris, the Sublime Porte has signihed
through the agency of Namik Pach that it will be
exceedingly happy TO accept American money, but
il will have nothing to do with American men, as
their institutions are more disagreeabe to Turkey
and its allies than even the Cossacks themselves.
Public opinion in England is beginning to be
very Respondent as to the result of the war. The
income tax has been doubled, aud its pressure is
already felt by every in the shape of iLcreas-
ed prices and diminished receipts, at the very mo-
ment when intelligence has arrived from the Bal
tic OF Sir Charles Napiers retreat from Cronstadt,
and the cool announcement that he intends to win
ter al Bomursund!'
From France the latest advices apprse us that
Louis Napoleon is now in the utmost alarm con
corning the long continued rains which threaten to
destroy the harvest in the ground. The cholera
too, has broken out with great violence in Paris
and notwithstanding all the fasehoods, menaces
and intinidarlons to which he has resQrted
