The ,Cunard steamers Lebanon and A
merca arrived, the one It New York and the
other Ct Halifax. on the 18th inst. The lat
ter brings Liverpool dates to the 4th.
There is no news Of much Importance
from the sea, Of war. The Allies were dai.
ly extending their advances towards the
Redan and Malakofr towers, and another as
saul, was anxiously expected. A grand &C.
csct expedition was in preparation in the
harbors Of Ksmeisch and Balaklava, and the
French Government was said to have char
,ered ninety-seven small steamers for river
service, each vessel being capable Of carry
ing FIVE hundred men.
The London Ners announces the arrival
in that city, by the special invitation OF the
Government, Of the Polish General, Count
z amoilowsky, and the natural presumption
was that his visit had reference to the aHairs
of Poland, which were being discussed in
ministerial circles. In connection with the
above il is also stated, that the dissatisiac-
that Austria had become alarmed and was
proposing measures Of reconciliation. These
statements would indicate the probability
tina, the Allies were about to attack Russia
if not Austria also at their most vulnerable
points.
The Queen had sent message TO Pariia-
ment advising that provision be made Tor
any extraordinary expenses which may arise
and.the message was replied to BY prop
osition from the Chancellor OF the EScheq-
uer for an additional issue of t7.0oo,ooo
sterling 10 Exehequer bills. The difficult
ties arising out Of the attempts to recruit
troops in the United States had been refer
red to in Parliament, and Lord salmers,on
stated tina, the practice had been stopped,
Among the rumors which were current
was one published in the Lon. Neics that the
siege OF Sebsstopoi was abou, to be raised;
and another, that communications Of mo-
mep,ous character had been received from
Germany by the Western Powers, but
whether they were favorable or not TO the
Allies even the rumor did not state. There
were contradictory reports from Western
Asia,-one that Russia had gained vic
tory, and another stated that they were re.
turning from Kars and Erzeroum There
were also doubtful rumors that Spain would
send a contingent to the Crimea. Nothing
later had been heard from the fleet IN the
Baltic.
Some unfriendly communications had
passed between the Neapolitan and British
Governments, but it was denied that the
former had applied for the assistance OF
Austria. On the a.th ul,. the authorities
at Geneva took possession of the converts.
Considerable excitement had been caused
in Liverpool By the appearance OF the An
gel Ga briel, alias Orr, who had commene-
ed street preaching in that city and created
some disturbance. The official report OF
the new French loan shows that 5000 .o0o,-
600 francs were bid for, being six times
the amount asked by the Government.
