The object of the re- assembling Of the Vienna
Conference was stated to be to declare that the
propositions Of England and France as the basis
Of a treaty of peace are in conformity with the
protocol Of Vienna, and to ascertain the most
fitting means to insure the existence of Turkey
and to connect it with the general balance Of
power in Europe. z.1..s-,
A letter from St. Petersburg says that not
word about peace is uttered there, and if any
one wishes it he dare not express his thoughts,
as the old Russian war party entirely govern
public opinion. The voluntary contributions do
not appear to flow in SO plentifully as heretofore
Accounts from Berlin state that Prussia is
quite satisfied with the evacuation of the Prin-
cipalities, and processes to assume openly the
character ofmediator.
Accounts from Trieste state that the attack
against Sebastopol is to take place simultan-
| eously by sea and land, but is temporarily de-
layed by the intense virulence of the cholera
| among the troops at Varna.
The Journal de Constantinople says that
during late heavy cannonade Of Sebastopol
some shells fell into the town itself.
The Russian guards and reserves are ad-
vancing by forced marches toward the southern

| A letter from Rustchuk, in the .Moniteur,
says:
The following are some details on the subject
| Of the retreat Of the Russians and the advance
of the Turkish army. On the 9th ult the
Russians abandoned their position at Daya. A
| first reconnaissance was ordered on the same
day by Omar Pacha, and led to the capture of
Russian officer and two soldiers. This recon-
noissance was pushed on as far as Frateschii
and Daya. The Turks found houses under
ground, which were constructed last autumn
by the Russians, and in which twenty bat
talions might be quartered. There were also
extensive stables, and large supply of hay,
which the enemy had left behind. On the fol-
lowing day four regiments of cavalry under the
orders of Halifu Pacha pushed on as far as
Komana, small village on the banks of the
Niajlou.
| The Russians had already crossed the river,
and afterwards the Argish, q little more to the
northward, in order, probably, to direct their
march on Bondeschi or Froesniechti, and thus
| gain the extensive plain Of Bouzeo. After
crossing these Two rivers, the Russians burnt
the bridges. On the 28th eleven Russian
cavalry soldiers fell into the hands of the
Turks. They said that two days before their
departure from Daya, Prince Gortschakof, in
order to revive the dropping courage Of the
| soldiers, caused to be read in the camp mani
festo of the Emperor Nicholas, in which the
Gar promised two roubles to each Of the SOL
diers who had taken part in the war beyond
| the Danube, and announced to them that they
| were about to recross the Pruth in order to de-
fend their country, which WAS threatened by
three powerful enemies, France, England and
Austria.

who permits the troops of country which is no

commits an act of high treason. AS Austris
