never reached the hospital for Mr.. Osborne ststed
publicly that at The time that offer was made, th.re
were not ak pour Dc OF tea in the hospital

Ia the mean time the Russians continue to
fortify Sevastopol; they have carried such large
Paixhan mcrtars to the northern fort thst they
are able 10 throw shells across the barbor aud the
town into the French third parallel. Tue Fog

power ia enormous when the ball strikes the point
at which it is aimed bat the gun rarely send, two
balls to the same point, aud as yet no means have
been found to prevent this deviation.

the negotiations with Austria cannot be carried
on TO advantage. The generals on the other
hand, delay their operations until the arrival OF
Oner Ptsba. But the Turkish general, disgust
ed with the way in which the Turkish troops are
treated by the Allies, refuses to 60 to tue Cr'meA
unless he bias al entirely Independent commando
and, since the Turkish army is entirely worthless
without him, his request will probably be com
piled with. Lord Reoclife has, By bis intrgues,
prevented the Hungarian generals from being EN-
ployed in the Turkish army of Europe, in order
TO please Austria. The result now is, that Oner
Pstha has become indispensable, and in position
to dictate terms.
Among the many anecdotes from the camp, the
following is ore OF the most curious:
alt appear. that the inhabitants of Sevsstopo 81, an
tcipapg the reducti Of the plsce hsd buried many
articles of value outside the wails which they hoped
10 be able TO dig up again at fature DAY, "nen inc
army should have departed. Tley, no gever did not
reckon on the works Of the miners, 0no every day
these Inen find something of value in the shape OF
silver and plated srtces, Jewels, and costly orna-

carefully packed IN a box. The bonnet Is OF PINK
satin OF the fret style Of fashion, an still oeare the
address Of the maker in the Rue de la Pdix IN Paris
This bonnet, after having been tried on by all tho
men, has since been hung up a, en- ornament In one Oh

Admiral DuDdas returns at last to England,
without having won &, lden opinions. Sir Charles
Napier is now in London, bat he does not venture
to repeat bis Dragging in the Reform Club. Toe
French Admiral Hamelin is like wise to return
and more energetic sdmirsls, Sir Z. Lyons aud
Admiral Bruat, both men of tried energy aud
experience, are to rePhce them.
Emperor Napoleon has, to bis great astOnish-
ment, found that the practice of cheating the
Government is Lot an exclusive monopoly of
Russia. There are about %, 600 men more on
the official roll of the French War Ministry than
there are really under arms The country has
been cheated of the money for paying and clothing
an army corps, probably, for long time-still it
is only now that such gigantic fraud has been
detected. OF course this occurrence has MT
been published in the papers, but it is the subject
of conversation in society; but my French
friends assure me that such an occurrence is en-
tirely impossible, since the system of checks and
controls the eompt0t,ti'f, as they call it. is too
strict in France as to allow such cheat.

The apartments for the reception of the En-
peror Napoleon and his Empress, are already
fitted up ct Windsor Castle, but his visit will be
delayed until the war in the CIimea takes a more
favorable turn.
Prince Gorchakof, the Embsssador at Vienna,
has declared that his powers are too limited to
give any decisive answer in regard to the ac-
ceptarce of the four conditions, as interpreted by
the Allies. The three powers have accordingly
consented to wait fourteen days from the end of
December, for the definite reply of Russia.
The negotiations Of the Ministry 10 Germany,
for permission to enlist soldiers for the for
eisn legion, have until now proved unsuccess-
full. Prussia, and all the minor States Of Ger
many, refuse to part with the warlike portion
of their population; it, therefore, the Ministers
cannot succeed in Spain. Portugal or Belgium the
scheme on which they staked their existence will
prove failure, to the great delight Of the Oppo-
sitiOn.
The contents Of the secret article Of the treaty
of Dec. ,, have not yet TRANSFERRED; still it lie more
than probable that it is guaranty Of the French
Emperor given to Austria for the pescs Of her
italian possessions; and, perhaps, even for the
status quo Of Italy during the present war. Ma.

Continental alliances, so as not to be altogether
dependent upon the good will Of the British Mn
