mors that Pelissier vas 70 be Commander
in chief of The allied forces. The Allies had
bean strenethe ning their advances against
the Malskoff, and the dispatches which
were late a. the Alh inst. state that the siege
was progressing satisfactorily ,-thosgh we
should think that late events were anything
but sat sfsctory to the Allies.
Among the. details Of the repulse Of the

hours, although il the main fact be true, we
are inclined 10 think il win be found that
possession Of the street was not maintained
for SO long time.
Vienna papers state that Gortchakoff was
calling for reinforcements. At the latest
Gates from The Baltic the Allied squadron
was off Cronstadt, engaged in some small
operations from which no very important
results were expected. Parliamentary pro-

the hands Of the insurgents. Among the
rumors was also one that Louis Napo-
leon had declared he would prevent any at
tempt to dethrone Queen Isabella. The
French Emperor had better let Spanish at
fairs alone. Ailthe presidents are against
the policy OF such intermeddling. Itbrought
Louis the Fourteenth to the brink Of de.
struction; it was the first serious shock to
the power Of Napoleon the Great, and the
least polite thing done by Louis Philippe
was the negotiation Of the Spanish mar
rage. One would think that the present
Emperor had better be warned by the ex-
amples than initiate the conduct of his pre-
decessors.

bon. We imagine this also is Que Of the
rumors growing out of the feverish state OF
the public mind. While Russia is on such
friendly terms with the courts Of Berlin and
Vienna, she has ample opportun ties Of ma
king any proposals secretly or otherwise to
the Allies, without having resort TO a meth
cd which in addition to its not being very
would also place her somewhat in
the attitude ola supplicant.
To the foregoing summary Of facts and
rumors, we append the following paragraph
from Paris letter published in the Walton
al Intellioencer, the writer Of which seems
to be rather favorably inclined to Russia: -
"All agree that the Turks are fully con-
WINGED that they never again will be the mas
tiers Of Stramboui," as they cali the city Of
Constantine. They decidedly would pre-
fer the Russians as rulers, aud those return
ing from thence say they shall not at ell be
surprised IL in the course Of year the Turks
should be on the side of Russia and the Al
lies forced to entieneh themselves. The
stronghold Of the latter will be at Constan-
tinopis. which, being open to them on the
sea, could never be taken, nor could KAN.
iesch, and perhaps one or two other points
on the Black Sea. which would in like man
ner be strongly fortified and held by them.
Strange results may grow out OF this IN
natural alliance ofFrance and England with
the bitter and eternal enemy OF the chris
tan religion. Every step Of it makes it
more unpopular, not to say unjust, under
the new system Of destroying defenceless
trading towns and private property. OF the
vessels captured in the Black Sea nine out
of tel belonged to the Greeks of Constan-
tinope, Smyrna, or Greece proper and the
Islands This destruction Of Greek prop
erty only serves 10 increase the hatred Of
that ignorant. fanatical and viley revenge
full people. They (the Creeks are to
man in favor of the Russians. Some
French troops, with their officers, recently
went in an American clipper from Constan-
tinople, and 4 colonel told the captain that
whilst they were encamped one hundred of
