The statement tba. France sad Russia had entered
into On offensive and defensive alliance lacks eonfrna-
ton; Indeed, the Paris Constitutional says the
statement IL without foundation, and it is likewise de-
MED by the Paris correspondent Of The Da1y Ne~s.
The London Times, however, in an article subse-
suept IN that above quoted appears to have no
doub. that the fact has been accompished and, in
k.due ar ac upon the event, it characterizes it as
perhaps the ..sost important that has been submitted
70 the preseDt generation of Englishmen The Times
believes il may state, upon authority not likely to
prove Incorrect that the provisions Of the two treaties
are as follows:
"By the FIRST treaty Russia binds herself, in the
event Of France being at with Aostna, TO assist
France by the cooperation O her meets III the balc
ard the Mediterranean an0, moreover, 10 pace ah
army Of obseTva of not less than 5O,OOO on the
Austrian frontier. This If the frsi treaty. and IS OBJ
yious, directed Immediately against England. France
can have Lotbing 10 fear from the navy OF Austria
If sbe seeks to strengthen herself at sea- must be
against some frst-cass naval Power, aid what other
L. there than England. This treaty is an agreement
between France and Russia To unite the fleets OF the
two empires in order to keep the navy OF England Ia
check While ODe or both Of the Contracting parties
may be engaged efecng some object hostile to the
at.ro.t the security Of Great Britain. 1T plain
ths the parties to this compact do not count upon the
neutrality If England and the existence OF this pre-
csuonay treaty is 10 iticlf aprOOf that the eutcr-
prses which thus tO he protected are such as 1t
you'd be impossible for England to allow to pass un-
challenged
"The Russian army Of observation is no less sig
pifcaIt than the unity Of the Imperial navies This
corps will Of course be employed to excite nsurrecon
among the Hungarian ana Slave subjects 0f Austria,
and il requires 10 great stretch Of Inauguration to fore
see how quickly the fame would rise and how far they
would spread We cannot tell the character nor
measure the scope Of the secret understanding which
has prompted this offensive alliance; perhaps the great
design may rest upon the Rhine the side, and
nay preheDd the Pnncpallties or even lean upon
the BO-phorus the other. Ii hard to believe that
60 ali "A latter Italian could have rendered
Necessary such gigantic precautions against the navy
Of England snch menaclDg demOnstr atlODs against
the eastern provinces of Austria 1t may have been
reseen thai the intentions OF the two allied despots
must provoke the resistance Of all Germany, and rem
der necessary the blockade Of the ports upon the Bal
tic; and It may have been considered that, however
peacabe may be the intentions Of England, the con-
ten plated impedn.enis upon her Baltic commerce
mig lat render her absolute neutrality scarcely possible
" The second treaty seems to have been suggested
by knowledge suspicion of the intended action
81 Austria for il provides that in case Austria should
Gard in hall Wal her
within fifteen days Of her violation of the Pednontese
soil. No unon can be closer than that which these
treaties create In the event of Austria invading Sar
dinia the fleets will sail together u the Baltic and
in the Mediterranean, and the army OF observation will

changed in tone and that the protectors are not choice
il their terms of for the means OF defense pos
seseed by the protected.
The Times says it viii be exceedingly interesting
to know the dates at which these treaties were con-
cluded.
Perhaps it may be found that the first has been in
existence some time and that the second, which IL
Only supplementary, Is that which II Is asserted was
CONCLUDED on FRIDAY last
The Times maintains that England need take no
active part long war is confined to Italy, or the
inv aston or the preservation of the Italian territories
but il France and Russia attack Austria in Germany,
Russia seeking perchauce her indemnity in the east
of Europe; or if Prussia should be laid under con-
trbution of territory, then indeed the design of these
treaties of oense would become less than parti-
ton of Europe and the first principle of preservation
would compel us TO consider whether can better
defend ourselves on the Continent of Europe, or at our
own homesteads. However much we may desire ~
Keep clear of these complications, the existence of
grea, German power is essential to our own safety.
THE AUSTRIAN DEMAND UPON PIEDMONT.
COUNT BUOLs LETTER TO COUNT CAvOUR
The following is the text Of the Austrian utimatum.
In the form Of letter from Count Buol to Count Ca
your, dated Vienna, 10Th April
"The Imperial Government, your Exceency is
aware hast.ned to accede to the propos ton of the
Cabinet Of st. Petersburg, to assemble Congress Of
the Five Powers, III order 10 seek way Of removing
the complication which have arisen III Italy. Con-
vinced, however Of the impossibilty of entering,
with any chance Of success upon pacific deliberations,
in presence Of the clash Of and warlke prepare
tions carried in bordering country, demanded
the placing of the Sardinian army upon peace foot
ing, and the disbanding Of the free corps Of Italian
youi teers prepa atory to the assembling Of the COu
gTess. The Government Of her Britannia Majesty
found this condition So just and couiormabe to the
exigencs Of the situation that IL did not hesitate
adopt IT, declaring itself ready 10 insist, copjointly
with France, upon the immediate disarmament of Sar
dina and to offer il, III return, collective guarantee
AGAINST all attack part, and To this II was well
understood Austria would have paid due honor
"The Cabinet of Turin appears only 10 have re-
piled by categorical refusal TO the invitation 10 put
is amy upon peace footing, and to accept the col
lectye guarantee which offered TO it. This
fasa the deeper regret because if the Gov
eminent of Sardinia had consented 10 testify the pacific
sentiments which were demanded Of il, We should
have accepted IL first symptom Of its Intention to
