There is but little news of interest from the
seat of war, but negotiations are becoming
more complicated and critical. On the I'd OF
December treaty of alliance was signed at
Vienna between Austria, France and England.
The exact terms are not known, but are sur
missed as follows: Firstly, that Austria re-
CARDS the violation of the Turkish territory as
war against herself. Secondly, that Austria
will augment her force in the Principalities,
so as to enable the Turks to resume offensive
operations. Thirdly, that on the demand of
France and England, 20, 600 Austrians will
be sent to the Crimea. Fourthly, France and
England guarantee that the territorial pos
sessions of Austria shall, under all circum-
stances, remain undiniinished Filthy, q at
present is secret Sixthly, Prussia shall be
invited to join the Alliance Seyenthly, the
treaty to come into operation on the part of
Austria, should Russia not come to terms, be-
fore January the ID.
There is also published letter from Count
Nesselrode. setting forth the terms on which
the Czar will assent to peace, ely-First
"A joint guarantee, by the Five Powers, of
the protection of the whole Christian popula-
ton in Turkey. Secondly ly-A joint protec-
torate of the Five Powers over the Principal
tiles, subject to existing Russian treaties
Thirdly ly-The revision of the Treaty of 1841 /,
to which Russia viii assent if the Sultan wiz
likewise do so. Fourthly--The free naviga-
ton of the Danube.
The speech of the King of Prussia to the
Chambers is also published. The King says
that the army shall be made ready for war,
but he refrains from indicating the course
which Prussia viii adopt. Meantime, the
Berlin papers publish a despatch from the
Baron Won Manteufeil. Nov. Is, to the Am
bassador at Vienna, expressing the determi-
nation of the Prussian Government not to
demand from Russia any concession beyond
the four points 1t is indeed stated, but should
be received with caution, that at a Council
held on the 9th, the King of Prussia determi-
ned to unite in the treaty, with a view to bring
the war to a close.
The deliberations of the Germanic Diet
Committee are most important; the actual
position of affairs seems to be that Prussia in
sists on declaration in favor of Prussian pol
| icy, or at least of neutrality while, on the
contrary, Austria insists that the following
points shall be decided =
8. Whether the Northeastern frontier OF
Austria is not sufficiently threatened to warrant
an immediate support from the federal troops.
Most of the Germanic States are with haste
putting their armies on a war footing. The
present opportunity for peace is probably the
| last, and if this be rejected, we may be pre-
pared TO see next Spring, military operations
on as large a scale they were during the
great wars of the French Empire.
