POSITION OF PRUSSIA.

The Paris Constitutionhei publishes new from Der
ln-but without guaranteeing its au.henticty-that
the Allies have decided not to ALLOW Prussia to par
cipse in the Vienna Conference, except on the fol-
lowing conditions
l That Prussis accedes TO the treaty OF Dec. 9.
ii. That che does not oppose the demand inside by
Austria for the mobilization CT the federal contin-
gents.
III. That che herself shall mobilize a forcs Of

On the other hand, Prussia claims right to part-
cpate in these Conferences in her capacity Of grea.
European Power, and because she was contracting
patty TO the treaties which are under revision. Prus-
sis has therefore, sent protect to the Cabinets Of
Vienna, Paris and London, against the validity of
any resolutions that passed wi,hou. her psrcipa
ton in the Conference.

SLAMS were victorious bu. direct authentic advices
from Balaklava received the previous day, said thai
nothing ne v bad occurred.
Twas po.ititey a.seried that Oner P.has force
would begin operations on the ie'h January, by ad-
vsneipg under cover Of the artillery of the fleets s'ne
the coast toward the Alma and the Beoek. The lat
ofhe Turkish nvoys sailed from Warn, on the 18th
for Bslaklsva-
A letter from X anisscb Of January g. says: " The
"bateres Of nortsrs of the French army cause con-
".iderabe AMI oy ance to the Russians who Refreshed
Gin grea, numbers toward Symphsropol.'
Under date Of January II, a CenstaDtinop'e letter
mentions that the French so-gun ship Henri W.,
which ran ashore on the 18th of November, hiss been
turned into fort, and is OF much 70 the Alice.
There ore 100 men on board, with guns, and the de.
Tense they can make is so formidable that the Rus
ssps dare not approach the town on that side. The
Russian cavalry, however, sbou, 6 600 strong form

So extraordinary is the want OF arrangement in the
ditIibuop Of requisites for the British, that Lord

other day two SCENTS Of the British Comms'arias
came 10 Balaklavs, and taking the first ship they
could 6pd-which CHANGED to be one that had lain at
anchor for q considerable time with cargo from
England board, there being no one authorised to
receive it-they set out for Consantinople. On the
way, they happened to mention to the captain Of the
chip that their urgent mission was to buy shoes fr
the troops, who were in wretched condition for
want. The captain in reply gave them the agrees
BILE information that bis chip had several thousand
cases Of shoes on board for those very troops, but
that there wat no "proper officer TO receive them
consequently they could not be landed
