This document will be considered at the
conference. All the plenipotentaries, with
the exception Of Lord John Russell, have
arrived at Vienna. The conference meets
on the 5th Of March, and hopes of peace
are strongly entertained. Notwithstand-
ing the Russian professions Of peace, ac-
counts state that warlike preparations were
never more active in Russia.
A report reached England via Berlin,
that the Gar was dangerously i'll aud given
up by his physicians and, although it
wanted confirmation, the Funds advanced.
The order prohibiting the export Of
wheat from Poland into Russia, came into

l. Turkey, England and France are the
original allies at war with Russia.
Z. Austria is allied to all the original
allies she declares her hostility to the
Gar; still she is not at war with him.
3. Prussia is in defensive alliance with
Austria; she is snubbed by the original
allies, but is on the eve Of signing treaty
Of neutrality with them, though still on

4. Sardinia is allied to the original allies
and preparing to send on army against
Russia but her Ministers dsclaim all all-

5. Naples, ,on the other hand, has nothing
to do with England, where Gladstone is
Minister, or with France, where Murat is
dreaming Of the Neapolitan Crown-but
King Bomba allies himself with Austria,
and sends an army corps to the Dauubian
Principalities.
8. Tuscany, Modena and Parma are
ready to ally themselves with Austria, and
to furnish cOntingents 10 her army.
I. The German Princes, bound by the
Treaty of 1915 to defend the frontier Of
Germany, waver between the neutrality of
Prussia, friendly to the Gar, and the neu-

in any case they decline to play the second
fiddle and to arm for the benefit of either
party.

Gated as it never was beforehand altogether

Napoleon Ill, who has no heirs, and no
statesmen able to continue his work in the

A New AcoUIsIrIoS.-A singular piece
of news appears in the London papers
brought by the Pacific, respecting the
Russian possessions in North America. 1t
is in the shape of>a telegraphic dispatch
from Vienna OF Feb~l7. 1t is as follows:
According to the local papers, the
Russian General Mansurof, who has re-
ceutly arrived ut Brussels, is the bearer oi
the cession OF the Russian possessions in
North America 10 Me United States fo'
$50, 100000
If We remember rightly, one of the
Washington correspondents during the
winter referred to the probability Of tLt
United States acquiring some portion o
Russian possessions in North America, bu
the statement WAS not regarded at thu
time. At any rate, the high price men
toned, $3O,0OO,0O0, should not preven
the above statement from obtaining ere
dence, when it is remembered that tel
millions were given for worthless patel
called the Messilla Valley, and one hun
dred and twenty millions were offered 70
Cuba. Where territorial acquisition
concerned, money is no object with tn
present administration. Th- arrival
ueuera1 "..lrofr" will be looked fC

The BorToM OF THE OcEAN.-The bot
tom of the ocean is as unequal as the sur
face of the earth. Beneath the waters, ,oi
the seas there are mountains, hills and val
leys. Some Of these have bold and precip-
itous sides, while others swell gradually
from base to summit. The average depth
of the sea between England and France,
in the Channel, is only so fathoms, and is
uniform, as has been proven by laying
down the telegraph cable. The bottom Of
tho Mediterranean sea, on the other hand,
is very deep, being no less than 22o faith
oms, and in one place $50. In laying
down submarine telegraph cable last
summer, between Piedmont aud Corsica,
Mr.. Brett, the gentleman who constructed
tho line, came to place where the cable
6ew off with frightful velocity, and it wal
found that the depth suddenly varied from
100 to $50 fathoms. No map better ex
plains the varying depth Of the ocean, it,
hills and valleys, than the one on page s56
volume ., Scientific american, which ex
hibits the deep sea soundings taken b.
American naval vessels. A very gooC
idea of what the bottom of the sea is lik
may be obtained from the face Of the DR..
land as there is abundant proof of man,
parts of it being once the floor Of the ocean
All Long Island was at one period GOV
cred with the sea, and the whole interio
of New York State, and number of ou
Western States, afford numerous evidence
of having been once covered with water.

Col. Benton.

The Washington Globe, after noticing
the destruction of Col. Benton's house by
fire, says:
We think it worthy of note to write
down that we saw Col. Benton for few
minutes at a quarter past ten last night,
when he was about sitting down to re-
write for this mornings Globe the speech
he made the day before yesterday on the
presentation of Gen. Jackson's sword to
Congress, which he had revised, but had

and it should come out before be slept.
We asked him if his house was insured,
and he replied, as nearly as we can rccol-
lect, as follows:

We then asked him the condition of his
pecuniary affairs, aud what he thought
would be the judgment Of the Supreme
Court in the case of Fremont aud the Uni

use Of the United States in California, and
drew bills on the Government to pay for o
great portion Of it. These bills were pro-
tested, and he could not raise the money
to take them up. Congress, last session,
made an appropriation for his relief, which
enabled him to pay all he owed for the
beef If he had not paid these debts, be

The KINNEY ExPEDnIoE-It has been
stated on the authority Of the Washington
correspondent Of the N. Y JoSsnaI IF
Commerce, that Col. Kinney had resigned
the command of tho Central American ex-
pedition. This, however, has since been
denied by Washington dispatch. We
publish below the statement Of the writer
for the Journal Of Commerce, who Is good
authority. The report that Kinney de-
signed to participate in the revolution in
Central America Is quite plausible > i1.m

there have been so many ,contrndictory re-

ACCOUNTS OF THE BATTLE AT EuPArORIA, sc.
We have the following accounts Of the
action: On Feb. l7th the Russians who,
under General Liprand, had been for some
time collecting around Eupatoria, attacked
the Turks with strong force.
Omer Pacha, who had arrived by sea
from Varna few days before, took the
command Of the Turks in person, and after
four hours fighting, the Russians drew of
to distance Of four miles.
EUPAroRIA, Feb. IL, 1855.
The Russians attacked Eupatoria this
morning. They were commanded by Lip
randi; and their numbers were 10000 in-
.fAntry and 6,OOO cavalry. They COM
menced the attack an hour before daybreak,
and had with them seventy guns. The
conflict lasted three hours. The assault
was signally repulsed. The steamers threw
shells among the assailants. The Russians
have 500 men hors dE combat, the Turks
$50.
m Omer Pacha commanded in person. Sc
lin Pacha, the Egyptian, was killed. Vast
masses Of Cavalry and artillery are now
assembled round Eupatoria.
The following is the account from the

Lord Raglan and Gen. Scott.

The New York Courier and Enquirer,
in commenting upon the nomination Of Gen.
Scott to the Office Of Lieutenant General,
says that-the commission dates from the
capture of Vera Cruz. 1t is late work but
safe. Gen. Scott receives bis Lieutenant
Generalship six years and eleven months
and half after the capture Of his fortress.
Lord Raglan received his Field Marshal
ship - months before the. capture Of has.
The one is rear pay, the. other advance
pay. The one rewards for duty performed.
the other for duty promised. -------
Nine days after reaching Vera Cruz. the
army was debarked, stores landed aud bat
teries planted, in spite Of a succession Of
violent northers," and eight days after
wards Gen. Scott dispatched to bis Gov
ernment that "the flag Of the United
States floats in triumph over the walls Of
this city and the castle Of San Juan dc
Uloa "-the same waVe-washed and bat
tle-scarred fortress, which in Europe had
been deemed impregnable. To operate on
the Gulf coast in this style was not sufh-
cent for General Scott. He scaled the
CordilIerns, bore the eagle Of his country
in quick succession through theU streets'of
Jalapa, Perote, and PuebIa with $500
men, swept resistless through the pass. Of
Cero Gordo defended by II, 500 Mexieans
with the same number Of men defeated
81, 900 at Contreras aud CherG5usco. with
I 100 men stormed Chapultepec, defended
by 2O,0O0-with 5000 took the City'Of
Mexico, occupied by an army Of $4,000
and thus accomplished the object desiFa-
BILE 10 obtain" He did what Lord Rag
Ian has not done; he did his work.. He
did what Lord Raglan has not done, he
saved his soldiers. He threw not ailfe
away that could not be saved. and applied
every possible means that could secure the
health and comfort Of bis men Perform
ing his campaign at the sickly season Of
the year, penetrating into the Tery heart
Of the enemy's country through crowded
cities and over mountain activities, he yet
subjected his men TO not one-tenth Of the
suffering, and lost not onestenth 50 many
of them by disease as Lord Raglan Ras
done while encamped within six miles Of
the sea. He poured out no blood fora
fruitless victory like that Of Alma; he an
initiated no regiments Of bis own by . fr-
tai order like that at Balaklava he inyi-
ted no deadly attack by neglect in forti-
flying his position like that at Inkermanh.
He did not leave his soldiers to become
tattercd like savages, or famished like
dogs. In fact there is no doubt this side
of the water that the American commander
deserves his guerdoh quite as well, TO say
the least, as the British and Congress
but reflects the sentiment Of the people In
recognizing this truth There Is q differ
ence between trained administrator At
the desk and an able General in the field ;
and that is just the difference between
Lord Raglan and Winfield Scott. p. ..f
