THE TREATY.

W~ashlngton's News Important from
Europe.
THE TREATY.
Austria is ''hooked." She has entered
into a treaty, offensive and defensive, with
England and France. 1t is important,
mainly, aS declaring the policy OF these
Powers /; for it does not bind either party
to 4 particular course of action. Thus
the Allies cannot compel the Emperor Jo-
seph 10 declare wal upon Russia, nor can
Austria compel the Allies 10 make peace
with Russia.
EFFECT OF H TREATY.
Money wise Mark Lane, and all the
Bourse are glad. ConsolS advanced in
England from 81 10 90. Whether this
grows out of the belief hat peace is nigh,
or that Nicholas can now be successfully
met, remains TO be seen. Politically, the
effect upon Germany no one can tell, as
il seems 10 US. ar even conjecture. Prus-
sia is divided-ane size being hostile, the
other friendly TO Russia. Again, the
North of Germany hates Austria, and The
Catholic portion of it is ready 10 war
against the Protestant portion. Now
whether Emperor Joseph can sway Prus-
STA and the lesser German powers so as
to secure one uniform line Of action, re-
mains TO be proved.
WHAT TIE IBERALS THINK.
The liberal element of Europe say that
England and France have guaranteed
Austria against any rising in Italy and
Hungary. This guaranty is secret. Thus
have they forfeited all their claims 10 lib
erality and jus,iceI The Liberals believe
that the treaty requires no immediate &C
ZION on the part of Austria, and that it is
really of no value ; or, in other words,
that Austria will fall back or 90 forward,
do or Tot do, as her interest or her Des-
pots will may decide.
RUSSIA'S POSITION.
We have explained hat before, bur re-
peat it again, that the reader may embrace
the whole subject. Nicholas offers, as q
basis of Peace First /; a joint guarantee
by the five powers, of the protection Of
the whole Christian population in Turkey.
Secondly: a joint protectorate of the five
powers over the Principalities, subject 10
existing Russian treaties. Thirdly: The
revision of the treaty of lS4I, to which
Russia will assent, if the Sultan will like
wise do so. Fourthly: The free naviga-
ton of the Danube.
The Allies agree so far, but insist upon
an extended Interpretation of these essen
tial conditions. Austria is their medium
10 reach Russia, and many sagacious men
think, that the Allies will secure peace
through Austria before Spring.
WAR PROBABILITIES.
Is Nicholas TO be frightened All &C
counts represent him as determined ; and
say that he will be ready to face the
West and the South next Spring with
near half a million Of men,. In u judy
meni, if this be so, we shall hear in an
other year ofthe rising of The Hungarians;
learn that Austria S slcomily nearing a
darkly yelled fate of bankruptcy and
death; and hear of a general confagration
in Europe, the result of which no one
may even venture 10 guess.
S%EvASToPoL.
The battle Of lnkeImann has kept all
quiet in the Crimea. Menchikoff knows
now that numbers cannot master EHgliSh
courage, or disturb English GOODNESS, and
the English, being limited in numbers,
dare not risk an engagement until fully
reinforced, as it is certain that the reliev-
ing army must be defeated ere Sevasto-
pol can be taken. Consequently the Al
lies are busy entrenching their camp and
preparing for a regular campaign. There
will be no storming of the fortress on their
side, and no serious sorties on the part OF
the Russians. The loss of the battle of
Inkermann is attributed by the Russians
to The rashness of Samsncff; their fatal
defeat is fully acknowledged by them.
Their force was over 10000 strong.
THAT BATTLE.
How it was won is a marvel: the Brit
ish displayed a prodigy of valor, as Kos
suth says. 1t was at lis height about 8
o'clock. Then men covered with blood,
and splitting ii out, came liuping along,
and sat down by the bushes examining
hurts and i~mploring water or a little
brandy. Ambulances lowered en- the
in the rear around the scene Of The
fight horses oil three legs or cut by balls
along, looking ~piteously for help,
The fog folded the hills in IFS clammy en-
brace, but the roar of cannon and mus
kerry told of the struggle which was 60
on along those bloody heights.
AFTER The FIGHT.
In every bush-on every yard of the
blood-staincd gronnd-lay a dead or dying
Russian. The well known bearskins of
Of our Guards, the red coats of our in
and The bright blue of the French
Chasseurs, revealing each a silent horror
in the glades, and marking The spot where
stark and stiff lay a corpse contorted on
the grass, pointed out the scenes of the
bloodiest contests. The dead were happy
the dull, cold eye-lhe tranquil brow
the gently opening lips, which had given
10 the parting spirit as il fled from
It's bleeding shell, showed how peacefully
a man may die in battle, pierced By the
rife ball. The British and the French,
many of whom had been murdered by the {
Russians as they lay wounded, wore ter
-ible frowns on tier fSces, with which
he agonies of death had clad them {
in their last throes had torn up the !
,arth with their hands, and held the grass |
their fingers up towards heaven. S
al the men who exhibited such signs of
had been bayonted. The dead men
Who lay with an eternal smile on their j
Ups had been shot.
