tro-Prussian treaties Of alliance
II was reported that the French Govern
mont had received from Prussia \ note ofcN-
pl nation which has given great satSfa ton,
but its exact tenor had not tranSpr,d. This
note crossed on the way au energetic note
from France. The ovcr,urcs Of Russia for
commercial alliance with Prussia have entire
" failed
Greece, il is said, is required by France
and England, to give formal adherence to the
Vienna protocol.
Hanover, Wur,cmburg and Bavaria have
sent in their adherence to the hustro-PIuS-
sian treaty.
Important events are broodng over the
Austrian Empire. The Vienna Gazette
states that in consequence Of the great con.
ccntration Of Russian troops on the north
eastern frontier OF Austria, %, 600 additional
troops will be raised. This measure must be
considered an open declaration Of the rcsolu.
ton of Austria no longer to he hullicd by

last successes of the Turkish armies, dis
patches have been received at Vienna from
the headquarters of Omur Pasha giving IA.
vorahlc account of the recent operations of
his forces on more than one point of his po-
/ silion. The Russian corps which was known
( to have been collected at Turna, near the
mouth of the Aluta, is stated to have been
/ rcpulscd on the 18th Of April, with loss of
! 300 men, by the Turks guartcrcd at Nj
/
may another Russian detachment was beaten
at Radova, not Ear from krVcyo,-Ihcrc is
every reason to believe these reports accurate
and authCnti,.
twas further reported that the Russians
! had received severe check at Sils,ria, hut
the news requires confirmation. 1t is not
tru" that the Russians have invested Silistria
on the land side. Omcr Pashn is still en-
ploycd in concentrating his force at Shrmla.
From kaaiat, an engagement is reported
between six squadronS OF CosSacks and five
