Important and Interesting neips from the Seat
Of War.
The U. S. Mail S e,mer franklin from
Havre via Southampton, bound for New York,
went ashore during dense fog early in the
morning Of the 18Th ins,. She had cargo
OF eight hundred tons of valuable merchan.
die, and abou, one hundred and sixty pas.
sengers, the latter were all landed safely.
The news by the franklin represents a
more immenent and interesting crises in the
pending war that has yet occurred The Ie-
la,ive position of Austria and Russia is deci.
dedly hostile, and we should not be surprised
if Austria, which has so perss,en,ly held
aloof from warllke attitude, should, after
all, prove the most efficient ally Of Turkey.
The reply of the Emperor Nicholas, 10 the
Austrian summons 10 evacuate the PrincipaIl'
ties, has been received. 1t is "a perenpiory
refusal.
Russia is determined to resist 10 the last
man and the last rouble.
Russia seems 10 be conining her occupa-
. iion Of the Principaiiies 10 Moldayia, and
the sea, Of war is likely 10 be changed from
the valley of the Danube 10 the valley OF the
Sereh. There is really nothing 10 be done
on The Danube, and the Anglo. French force
will have arrived there 10 find only region
in the peaceful, undislurbed possession Of The
Turks.
From the Baltic there is rumor, in which
we are afraid TO place reliance, that the An
glo-French feet is al last prepared 10 attack
the Notifications Of CIonsadt. The taidi'
ness of this attack is an evidence that 1t Will
be fierce one, and as The possession OF the
place is of vital consequence 10 the Russians,
their resistance will be desperate. A repulse
would be Notifying TO the English and
French, while successful assault will throw
a spirit in the war that it has mol hitherto
possessed.
The news from Spain is Of new insurrec-
iion, though not by any means Of a novel III
cident. lnsurrection seems 10 be the natural
element Of that degraded kingdom under its
corrupt court and pTofisate queen. The pop.
ular virtue, however, seems al last TO have
risen above the low level of morality in the
sovereign and her ministers, and it is posi-
bic that some great events may be wrough
out Of the present disturbances.
The accounts are conflicting. Madrid wa
covered with barricades.
The garrison was frateuizing with the in
surgen,s.
Gen. O'Donnell was threatening to a,tacl
the Palace.
The abdication OF the Queen was pre-
posed.
On the other hand, the Patrie declares ,ha
the news received by telegraph from Spai
continues favorable TO the government-,h5
the insurgents, after having been defeated
marched upon Toledo.
Ii is stated that the Prussian goverumer
has received from Colonel Mantuefel, VIII
was sent 10 ST. Petersburg with despa,c
10 support Austria ia her summons inform;
ton indicating marked coldness on the pa
of Russia
On the 18th OF Janc the Turkish troops a
tackled the Hellenic volunteers, commando
by Hadji Petyos. After conflict of tire
hours, the Creeks were completely beale
A considerable number were killed ar
wounded Their guns and baggage we
captured. The Greeks took flight towar,
Agrapha and Olympus.
