NEWS BY TELEGRAPH,
By THE ?, 4 W. LINE.

New York, May I'm
Tho foreign papers by the Persia furnish
some facts of interest, though the main fea-
lures have beel anticipated by the Adelaide
ut ST. Johns 4.aa-
The Austrian correspondents of the official
journal of the 29th ult., after detailing the
condition Of affairs, says that Austria must
draw the sword to maintain European or
der.
The London Post of the 29th ult., says
that there is still hope for peace. As the
last English Mediation was under serious
consideration By the Emperor of France,
and If Austria RETAINED from advancing, a
pacific settlement might still he made.
The following are the provisions OF the
treaties between Russia and France as given
in the London Times.
By the first treaty, Russia binds herself,
in the event of France being at war with
Austria, to assist France with the co-opera-
ton of her fleets in the Baltic and Mediter-
ranean, and to place an army of 10000 men
on the Austrian frontier.
This, the Times says, is obviously direct
ed against England.
The Russian army of observation, the
Times concludes, Is TO excite an instruction
among the Hungarians.
The second treaty provides that in case
Austria shall invade Sardinia, Russia shall
declare war against her within fifteen days
of her violating Ter SOIL
The Times maintains that England need
take no active part so long as the war is
confined to Italy, but if France aud Russia
should attack Austria in Germany, seeking,
perchance, to secure indemnity in East
Europe, or if Russia should be made under
contribution Of territory, the design OF
the treaties would become no less than a
partition of Europe, aud the first principles
of preservation would compel us to consid-
er whether we can better defend ourselves
on the continent, or by our own homesteads.
However mnch we may wish to keep
clear of these complications, the existence
of the great German power is essential TO
our own safety.
