AUSTRIA AND GERMANY.-The advanced
corps of the Russian guard already touches
the Austrian frontier.
The TREATY.-The three powers declare
that they havs common object and that the
complete union of efforts for its attainment
being desirable, they have resolved to conclude
treaty. The common object which Austria
owns, is stated in precisely the words of the
convention between England and France, as
the re-establishment of peace on a solid basis.
By the lst article, the contracting powers
acknowledge the protests of the 9th of April
and the 22d May, and the notes exchanged on
the Sth of August; thus recognizing the fun
validity and necessity of tie four conditions
therein named as the necessary preliminary
basis Of peace, and reseryjpg to themselves to
impose further conditions. They engage SOL
EMMY not to enter into any arrangement with
the imperial court of Russia, without having
first deliberated thereon in common. Austria
thus places an impossible barrier between her
self and Russia.
BY the I'd article, the Emperor of Austria
binds himself to defend the Moldo- Wallacan
municipalities against the return of the Rus
slams.
By the Sd article, England, France, and
Austria mutually promise to each other Of
tensive and defensive alliance in the present
war, i'll the event of hostiIitles breaking out
between Austria and Russia and the 18th ar
ticle consequently provides, that in such case
none of the contracting parties shall make
peace without coming to an understanding
with the allies.
The fifth article is the most important of
the whole treaty it provides, that in case
the establishment of general peace, on the ba-
sis indicated in article LIST, be not assured in
the course of the present year, England,
France, and Aus ria will deliberate, without
delay, upon the most etlectual means of OBJ
tanning the object of this alhanceif these be not
assured upon the basis indicated in article LIST,
that is, the four conditions, and further posi-
tons such as the allies judge necessary, these
etfectual means are to be concerted between
the three powers to attain their object. 1t is
evident that these ehectual means can only be
force of arms, to be resorted to on the explra-
ton Of the present year, and i'll such event
Austria would claim the benefit of article I'd
OF the present treaty, and would enter into
alliance offensive and defensive with England
and France i'll the present war. By the 9th
article, the three powers invite the accession
oil Prussia to the treaty, and her co-opera-
ton for the accomplishment of the common
object.

that the victualling Of the Russian army is so
badly managed that only the corps which are
stationed the nearest to the depots receive any
provisions while those at greater distance
are left to their fate. The garrison Of Sebas-

procure supplies are well carried out. Large
quantities are sent from Austria on account
OF the French and English Commissariat, the

The Russians, it is said, have suffered a loss
IN the sea Of Azoff, corresponding in magni-
tude to the losses of the allies in the storm of

Prince Menschikof's dispatch Of the oath ult.,
he states that near Cape Berdjanskai, Oh the
north coast Of the sea OF Azof, hurricane had
literally demolished the breakwater, driven
on shore thirty Russian vessels, and dash
