sly to Austra-s strange declaration indeed since no
attempt at rising has been prepared in those quar-

But is just the decided language of the Moa;,sr
which pushes Francis Joseph to the wall he must
either protest against the conduct of France and Erg
land or take part in their war; il war it be-aganst
Russia Now, all the efforts OF Austria for the past
month have been directed TO the maintenance OF
neutrality. She is lest soon as she abandons that
position and yet Napoleon unrelentng and puts her
in dilemma, where she cannot escape perdtcn what
ever be her policy. The Vienna money market is
therefore disturbed and panic stricken, and the
premium on silver and gold has risen to an extent
equal to that in the period of the great Hungarian vic
tories viz; silver % per cent and gold TO 50 per
cent.
The report Of the capture of Khiva, on the Oxus
on the way from the Caspian to India is cOntrsdicted
by the latest adyiees from COnstantnOpe. We are
Informed that serious engagement has taken place
between the Russians and the Tsheshenzes at the Gates
of the Caucasus the Russians of course boast of a
victory, but they themselves own that the mountain
GERS broke through their line and captured several
ammunition wagons
On the Danube the skirmishes continue so does the
concentration of the Russians around Kalafat but
general action has yet taken place. At Matschin Hir
soya, Giurgevo and Kalarash, the Danube is daily
crossed and recrossed BY COssacks and Abanese the
rreguaEs on both sdes cannot stand the sight of the
enemy without exchanging few shots aud sabre cuts
with him.
According to the correspondent Of The Times the
losses of the Russians in the battle CT Tshetate were
officially put down at one general FIVE colones, four
majors. and 1900 petty officers and soldiers killed one

wounded. The number of the rank and file wounded
is not sufficiently asceraiued it is only mentioned that
there were one hundred and eighty wagon lo,ds of
them which gives very small proportion OF wounded
to those who were killed.
II is said that the Car is much excited on account OF
the conduct of Prussia which begins TO escape from
his control but is well satisfied with Austria whittier
he has again sent an Aide-de-camp on secret dpo-
matte mission As to the autograph letter OF Emperor
Napoleon Nicholas is said to have remarked This Ma
poleou is lust the reverse of Napoleon l. The uncle
"rensDed mpertinent even when he stood one against
"f four, but the nephew only becomes impertnent
"when be stands four against one" The official an
swer of the Car to the Emperor OF France IL cold
and laconc, but note of Count Nesserode TO General
Caselbaac contains the phrase that the Emperor has
the firm confidence that his troops will reply to the
French in the same manner they replied Va 1872
The Car wishes to remind Napoleon OF the defeat at
the Berezna and of the conspiracy of Maet in Paris,
who-for a few hOurs-succeeded in getting hold of
the government. siuiar tricks may not be impossible
in Paris as soon as the Gar really involved In war
with France.
The chickering's between the Admira's and the En-
bassadors in Constantinope do not increase the conf
dence of Turkey in England and France. The Admi-
ralsunless their Instructions be altogether different
from those of the Embassadorsseem to belong to the
Peace Society. They avoid a conflict with the Russian
feet though it does not remain in SevasOpo but was
seen off Batun and Trebizond. The depuntion Of the
Peace Society has been most cordially received by the
Emperor Nicholas who never allows al opportunity to
escape of eDlistng EDglishman or an American in
his support and of making favorable personal impress
sion upon them
Senator Douglas vas quite charmed by the attentions
with which he was overwhelmed at the Court of the
Car, and Nicholas seemed indeed to have become
than usually warm in his conversation with the Little
Giant of Illinois he recognized sympathetic heart
in the American sateman in fact hs brother in the
tension SGrey Their principles being the same, it
does matter that cholas deals only in white slaves
and Douglas in black the Car is not so psrtcu-
lar about color he does not for the surface but
only for the essence that is to say, the LASH What
pity that John Mitchell could not have been present at
the interview He is just as natural ally Of Mich
olas, as Senator Douglas.
Smith Brien has now received a free pardon from
the Queen. am certainly not an admirer of the Eng
sh Government and no fatterer Of the Queen, and

With which the Irish rebels" have been treated in
Australia and on their way beyond the seas but even
he greatest enemy Of England must admit that, next

Queen Victoria. The Canadian rebels who had risen
arms against her were bsnished transported for
