| anticipated by tho Adelaide, but details add
some facts Of interest.

nal, Of the 10th, after detailing the progress

there Vas still hope for peass, - the last
English offer Of mediation was under the
serious consideration Of Emperor Of the
French. and IL the Austrians refrained from
advancing, pacific settlement might yet be
made.

Russian French treaty, a. given BY the Lon
don Times:

fleets in the Baltic and Mediterranean, and to
place an army Of $4,000 men on the Aus
TRAN frontier.

~ against Great Britain, and its existence

button Of territory, that the design Of the
treaties would become no less than . parti-
ton of Europe, and the frst principle of
self-preservation would compel Us TO CON-
slider whether we can better afford TO de-
fend ourselves on tho Continent or ct our
own homssteads, however much We might
desire to keep ourselves clear OF these COM
plications. The existence of great German
power is essential to our safety.

nation Of the King Of Sardinia to the army.
