EUROPEAN LEAGUE AGAINST RUSSIA
The important statement had been announced
that Naple- had joined the Western alliance and
would send, besides her fleets. land force equal
TO that Of Sardinia to the Crmca. The guaran-
tee of France to prevent a revelation in Italy has
brought Naples to JOIN the alliance. Count Or
loft. the Russian Minister and staff, had in con-
sequence left Naples.
The Belgian journals announced that Tuscany
Parma and Modena have also Joined the Western
alliance, aud would send 1000 men each. This
is probably meant ironical.
1t was rumorcd that Spain would likewise join
the alliance, with view to have the inaence of
the French against any instruction that may
take placa. 1t sa'snrepor;ed that Portugal will
join the allies with $4,000 men; but this is rather
doutful. The Western Powers are evidently
however, seeking to unite all the secondary
States in general European league against Rus
sin.
Sweden continues to make military prcpara-
tons and, all the smaller German States have
their armies nearly completed

secretary had returned to Berlin for further in
structons. The opinion prevails that no terms
could be come To between Prussia and the Yves

neutrality and its consequences. Count Ester

Berlin, caused Il rise in the funds.

Austria with undated energy.

the receiving Of Gorschnkoff 5 categorical yes
or no to the four points.
Negotiations are on foot for an Austrian loan
OF tl5,OOO,00O in the English market.
FRANCE.
The French funds were considerably depressed
by Il wild rumor that the Emperor would immcdi-
ately depart for the Crimea, leaving the Empress
regent during his absence. Ii is more probable
that he will command the army of the Rhine,
should war be declared against Prussia. Engi-
neers were surveying grounds for camp of lO0,-
900 men near Metz.
SPAIN.
Condo de Montemolin has written u letter re-
commenting the Carlisle to defer their contem-
plated instruction until Espartero's government

THE AUSTRIAN FRONTIER.
il was announced by the last steamer that the
Russian troop. on the Austrian frontier were sud
denly ordered to retire into the interior. This
movement is explained either political move
in support of l'russas assertions that Austria is
not menaced, OF n strategic move to take up
stronger position. In either case it is unimpo.
