The Austrian correspondence Of the on.
cial journal Of the 9th ult. after detailing
the progress Of affairs, says, that Austria
must draw the sword to maintain European
order.
The London Post of the goth, says, that
there was still hope for peace as the las,
English offer Of meditation was under seri-
GUS consideration by the Emperor Of Austria,
and the opinion was entertained that pacific
settlement might still be made.
THE RUsso-FRENCH TREATIES The fol.
lowing are the provisions Of the treaties be.
tween France and Russia, as given in the
London Times:
lst. Russia binds herself, in the event Of
France being at war with Austria, to assist
her with the cooperation Of her fleets il the
Baltic and Mediterranean, and TO place an
army Of $1,000 men on the Austrian frontier.
This, the Times says, is directed obviously
against England, and its existence is proof,
that the enterprises which are thus 10 be pro-
tected, are such AS II would be impossible for
England to allow to pass unchallenged. The
Russian Army of Observation, the Times
concludes, is 10 incite an nsurrection among
the llungarians and Sclayes.
I'd. The treaty provides, that in case Aus
ria shall invade Sardinia, Russia shall de-
lare war against her within fifteen days
her violation Of Piedmontese territory. The
Times maintains, that England need take no
active part, so long as the war is confined to
Italy, but if France and Russia should at
tack Austria, in Germany, Russia seeking
perchance indemnity in Eastern Eurepe, or
If Prussia should be compelled to render a
contribution Of territory, the design Of the
treaties would become no less than the par
tition Of Austria, in which case, England
would be compelled to interfere, and take
the side of Austria.
Prince Cayagnan had been appointed Lieu
tenant General, in Piedmont.
During the war, the Universities of Pied
mont, have been closed by a regal decree.
The Sardinians had retired from Polesina
to the west bank Of the Sesia.
The great mass Of the Sandman Army,
seventy-fve thousand strong, was condensed

mines, between Nuova and Tortona.
The Turin correspondent of the London
Times does not think the Austrians will
reach the capital.
The country has been laid under water,
by means of the canals, for the purposes Of
irrigation, and means had been taken to rem
der the roads temporarily impossible.
The Sandman Generals have appropriated
all the horses belonging to private individu-
ais; the highest price allowed being sixteen
pounds sterling.
The news Of Tuscany joining Piedmont is
confirmed. The Grand Duke refused to alb
dicate and retired to Bologne, after throwing
himself upon the protection Of the five great

Governments have lately been procuring
large supplies of charts and surveys of the
English and Italian coasts, in the Mediterra-
mean, and have likewise been engaged in
making large purchases Of coal irrespective
of price or quality. II is also intimated that
an exclusive order for charts had been re-
ceived from the Spanish Government, and
the inference was that Spain would throw
herself into the arms of France.
Twenty-seven gun-boats, with some YES
sells of larger size, were building on the
Thames, for the Spanish Government 1t
was suggested, that Spain might possibly be
acting merely as the agent Of others

The French army, on the slope of the
Alps, will consist Of sixteen divisions of in
fantry and fouro of cavalry. The infantry 20
by the land frontier, and the TWENTY-FIVE bat
talions of chasseurs are to form the Army OF
Observation Of the Alps. Genoa, too, is to
be occupied as the basis of operations, whence
they can threaten the Austrian left flank
There is to be another basis at Susa, which
will also be fortified and made the general
depot for the troops that arrive through the
Alpine pass.
The French troops experienced some diff
Guilty in crossing Mount Cents. Four thou
sand workmen were employed in clearing
away the immense masses of snow.

authority, that no secret treaty has been
signsd between France and Russia--the
Russians merely offered to place fifty thous-
and men, as an army of observation, on the
frontiers OF Gallicis. The Times however,
says, with respect to this treaty, we have
nothing essential to relate, 1t is not in the !
routine Of secret treaty to be known in |
