fortress of Sudjuk Kale, or Novo Russusk, after
having spiked their sixty guns and blown up the
fortfcations. Their position was untenable
since they could not get supplies on the Black Sea,
and the mountaineers, belonging to the shapsugh
Confederacy, continually swarmed around the
eutworks, and Intercepted the communications
with the Transcaucasian army. The Russians
keep now only four fortified places on the Black
Sea in their possession: SerastoPa, which is be-
sieged; Anopa, which by the capture of Kertch
and Yeniksle, and by the evacuation of Sudjuk
Kale got likewise into very precarious posi-
ton; the twin Forts Of Oerakcf and kiabarn, at
ne Liman Of the Bug, and Odessa. The chain
Of fortresses which encircled the Circassian
tribes and shut them out from the sea is now
broken through. and the spell Of the Russian
name has lost its power in the Caucasus. Ru-
nors were aloat at Constantinople that even the
fertifcatons of Gumri in the interior Of Mingre-
ha were destroyed by the Russian garrison, and
that all the Trans-C Caucasian army had received
orders to fail back upon Tihis for the protection
of the capital against an attack of Shamyl, for
the Turks gave no credence to the reports of
truce between the Russians aud Lesghisns, and
declared the rumOr was circulated by Russian
agents in order to prevent vigorous resumption
Of the Asiatic war by the Turks Mustapha
Zarif Pasha, the commander of the forces at
Batoup is about to attack the Russians, and his
task is especially TO push to Anapa, and to in-
vest the fortress in conjunction with mountain
eers. Williams Pasha has recognized the
Asiatic army and put Erzerum and Kars in an
efficient state of defense; he is likewise to take
the offensive.
The bombardment of Sevastopol has been re-
commenced for the third time, to be continued
until the assault.
The debate in the House Of Commons, carried
On since Monday and again adjourned, has
scarcely any importance, since the closing of
the Vienna Conference makes sudden dis
honorable peace impossible. The war must
be carried on with vigor and energy, and
people begin again to be satisfed with Lord
Palmerston, as they cannot be in fear of ho-
low peace, by which Russia might overreach
England. As to Sir James Grabame, Sidney Her
bert, Gladstone, Cardwt Il and the Earl of Gray,
Shey are all openly denounced as traitors, as the
tools of Russia, and everybody cOngratulates
the country that such men have ceased to be
Ministers.
The cunning of Austrian diplomacy has at last
sverreacbed itself. The Conferences were finally
closed, and Austria, after having expended above
500, 00O,0 in useless ornaments, is looked
upon with suspicion both by the Allies and by
Russia. 1t is true, the Austrian army occupies
the Principalties, but it has estranged the affec
tions ofMoldo- w allach his, land England and France
win never allow Francis Joseph to retain the
two Provinces occupied under false pretenses.
They might have been transferred to Austria as
the price of an efcjnt cooperation, but not of
an inefficient neutrality; countries are often con-
SSssed but inc o. cannot be stolen and pocketed
in broad midday. Prussia is now triumphant;
the obloquy to which she was subjected falls
now principally on her naughty and rapaoious
peiehbor and rival. She has remained on the
terms Of intimacy with Russia, and without
spending countless millions TO gain pres
tise which could not be maintained, she re-
mains consistently neutral in the present contest,
while Austria has expended her income and her
voluntary or forced loan only to irritate the
Csar by ipgratitude, without gaining the good
will of the Allies, who complain of her incon-
sistency. The panegyrics on the superior diPlo-
matte skill Of Count Buol and Francis Joseph
are now silenced and the poor Germans who
lately were 80 proud Of the uprightness and
liberal policy of Austria see now that no faith
can be put in Hapsburghs. Dust in the right time

Of the Order of the Monks of Mercy, chief ply

Bohemia, has changed his religious persuasion,
and trusting that the Austrian law of 1S4S which
permits any Austrian subject to change his reli-
zion has not been abrogated, embraced the Prot
estant faith on the 18th of January at the Luther
m church at Petershsin in Prussia. On his
return to Austria he was imprison 3D., and as he
resisted all allurements, threats and suferings,
he was declared to be mad and is now confined
with the insane in the dungeon adjoining the
1ust-hole of the Convent. The facts Of this
Austrian outrage have been already laid before
the Protestant Alliance and will increase the
rising indignation against that treacherous, big
