Fitawea.—During his late visit to the North the Emperor Napoleon visited all the camps, but he issued no address to the soldiers. Lord Clarendon arrived from London at Boulogne on Saturday, and bad a long interview with the Emperor. M. Drouyn de Lhuys and Lord Cowley, from Paris, were also present. What passed in that secret conference is of course unknown ; but it is hinted that the Emperor's opinion is ex- pressed in the phrase "nothing is changed." It is also "supposed" that Lord Clarendon remonstrated, but ineffectually, against the projected journey of the Emperor to the Crimea. The Emperor returned to Paris on Sunday, accompanied by Lord Cowley and M. Drouyn de Lhuys.

GBWANY.—Lord John Russell reached Vienna, from Berlin, on Sun- day. It is reported that he produced little effect either upon the King of Prussia or his Prime Minister, while at Berlin. At Vienna, on Mon- day, the day after Lord John's arrival, the Empress of Austria gave birth to a princess. On Tuesday Lord Jobn had his first audience of the Em- peror ; and he was at the baptism of the young Archduchess on the

Wednesday.

In commemoration of the birth of his first-born, the Emperor granted a free pardon to all political offenders, condemned, or on trial by the

civil courts.

In an order of the day, dated Sunday, the Emperor of Lustada

nounces "that in gratitude for the services rendered with a noble readi- ness by the Emperor Nicholas in a time of trial and misfortune, the regiment of Cuirassiers of the Emperor Nicholas will still retain that name, as a mark of an eternal souvenir for the Austrian army." It is reported from Vienna that the new Emperor of Russia has re- newed Prince Gortschakofrs powers, and confirmed the basis of negotia- tions agreed on by his father. The Congress at Vienna began its sittings on the 5th instant.

Russm.—The new Czar, Alexander II., received the homage of the chief officers and Ministers of State on Saturday last ; and the Grand Duke Constantine, it is expressly stated, solemnly took an oath of fidelity to his brother. Tho telegraph furnishes an account of a manifesto issued by the new Czar. "Berlin, Wednesday, March 7. "A despatch from Kiinigsberg, dated the 7th instant, gives the following summary of the manifesto of the new Emperor of Russia :

"'The manifesto of Alexander II. has arrived. After announcing the sudden and severe illness of the Emperor Nicholas, which terminated in his death, it says that, as the deceased devoted himself incessantly for the wel- fare of his subjects, 'so do we also, on ascending the throne of Russia, and of Poland and Finland, inseparable from it, take a solemn oath before God to regard the welfare of our empire as our only object. May Providence, which has selected us for so high a calling, be our guide and protector, that we may maintain Russia on the highest aandard of power and glory, and in our person accomplish the incessant wishes and views of Peter, of Ca- therine, of Alexander, and of our father. May the zeal of our subjects assist us therein. We invoke and command the oath of allegiance to us and to the heir to the throne, our son Nicholas Alexandrowitch: "

The reigning Empress of Russia, Maria Alexandrowna, daughter of the deceased Grand Duke Lewis II. of Hesse-Darmstadt, and born in 1824, is said to be a woman of strong sense and character, of amiable qualities, and possessing much influence over her consort. They have five children—four sons and one daughter. The present Cesarewitch and eldest son, Nicholas Alexandrowiteh, was born in 1843.

Almost the only particulars respecting the manner of the death of Nicholas, presented to the world as authentic, are a series of telegraphic messages, despatched to the Prussian Court by Count Miinster, Adjutant to the King of Prussia, and published in the Prussian Moniteur.

"St. Petersburg, March 1, 1 25 p. m. " The Emperor's state became manifestly worse last evening. The bul- letin runs thus—' Considerable fever, with affection of the right lung, came on yesterday. The fever continued the whole night, and prevented sleep. Expectoration remains unimpeded. An admixture of gout is observed.' I

add, that the Emperor's feebleness has increased; and that his Ma- jesty's condition, according to the opinion of his physicians,. has, to say the least, become extremely serious. Her Majesty the Empress is tolerably well. I will send another despatch this day ; and beg this intelligence may be immediately conveyed to Duke George at Strelitz." "St. Petersburg, March 1, 9 30 p. m.

"Ms Majesty the Emperor's condition has become much worse during the day. Expectoration is difficult. The nature of the same indicates a strong affection of the lungs. Paralysis of the lungs is to be apprehended. Dr. Carrell is under great apprehensions. The heir to the throne, at the request of the physicians, has solicited the Emperor to receive the sacraments. The Empress is well. I will send further intelligence this night."

"St. Petersburg, March 1, 10 30 p. m.

"The Emperor has declined to take the sacraments at present ; so the ce- remony is postponed until tomorrow morning. The Emperor only sees the Empress and the heir to the throne. The Empress is aware of the danger ; and ordered me to communicate the same to his Majesty the King, and to beg that it might be communicated to herillustrious brothers and sisters, and also at Strelitz."

"St. Petersburg, Winter Palace, March 2, 6 a. m.

"The Emperor tranquilly received Dr. Mandt's communication that para. lysia of the lungs was possible, and merely inquired, When shall I be para- lyzed ? ' The physicians could not return a positive reply ; the Emperor then asked Dr. Carrell, When shall I suffocate ? ' The Emperor received the sacraments, took leave of his wife and children, blessed each individually— the grandchildren also—with a firm voice, in full consciousness, and with great calmness and self-possession. The pulse is still strong, but mosehus has been given. The Empress bears up steadfastly, and is prepared." One report is, that a short time before the Emperor Nicholas's death he desired the Empress to announce to his brother-in-law the King of Prussia, that he the Emperor "bequeathed to his friendly solicitude his family and Russian people, and bade him not forget their late father's will." This message, received by telegraph, was instantly replied to, it is added, by assurances in the same sense. It is reported that Prince Menschikoff has been recalled from his com- mand in the Crimea ; that Prince Gortscbakoff succeeds him ; and that General Liiders will command on the Pruth. General Riidiger had been summoned to St. Petersburg. For some time it has been stated , that Menschikoff was ill, and it is understood that these changes were made by the late Czar.

CRIMEA.—The accounts from before Sebastopol extend to the 24th February. The principal news of military interest is contained in despatches from Admiral Brunt to the Minister of Marine, published in the Moniteur of Thursday ; and one from Lord Raglan. " Xannesch, on Board the Montebello, February 24.—The Russians appear to have abandoned the positions which they occupied opposite Eupatoria : in their retreat they set fire to the villages in which they had established themselves. In the night between the 22d and 23d of February, the gar- rison of Sebastopol had established important works of counter-approach opposite our works on the counter-fort of the plateau which descends to- wards Little Careening Bay. The Commander-in-chief ordered these works to be carried in the night between the 230 and 24th of February by the troops of the Second corps. This affair does the greatest honour to our army, and increases, if possible, the ascendancy which it has not ceased to exercise over the enemy. Our losses amount, it is said, to 100 wounded. "The Louis XIV and the Marengo are on the eve of leaving for France." The Extraordinary Gazette of Thursday contained a despatch from Lord Raglan to the Secretary for War, dated February 24, relating to the state of affairs before Sebastopol. The weather had improved since the 20th, but the snow still lay on the ground. The Russians were ob- served to be extremely active on the North side of Sebastopol, and seemed to be fortifying the heights extending to their left, and looking upon the valley of the Tchernaya. Lord Raglan describes the action on the morn- ing of the 24th, reported by Admiral Bruat- The troops of the garrison having lodged themselves on the point of the

spur of the ridge from Inkermann over the Careening Bay, at about 300 intelligence of some intended descent from the continent—some new pi- yards from the new French parallel on the extreme right, General Canrobert determined to dislodge them ; and this was gallantly effected at two o'clock this morning, by 1600 men, under the immediate command of General Monet, and the direction of General Mayran,—with, however, I regret to say, some Ices, the consequence of the heavy fire which was brought to bear upon them from the enemy's batteries and the shipping, whilst they were engaged in de- molishing the works. When this object was accomplished, they withdrew to the trenches, as had been their intention. The gallant General Monet is, I am much concerned to have to add, among the wounded."

"The railway," Lord Raglan says, "is getting on remarkably well ; and the exertions of Mr. Beatty, who is superintending the work, are un- remitting, and entitle him to great praise.'

The return of casualties shows that there were up to the 22d one man killed, and seven wounded, including Lieutenant Constantine Gaynor of the Thirty-eighth Regiment, "severely." Princb Menschikolfs statement is, that "on the night of the 24th the Allies attacked the left redoubt.of the fortifications in considerable force ; and were repulsed by two regiments, after having sustained a loss of 600 men." He adds, that the mining operations of the Allies are suspended. "Nothing new at Eupatoria up to the 26th."

Sir Colin Campbell at the head of 1800 men, made a reconnaissance in the direction of Kamera on the morning of the 20th. He was to have been supported by a French detachment ; but it was countermanded on account of the weather. Sir Colin made four prisoners, and safely re- turned to the lines.

Full details of the attempt upon Eupatoria by the Russians have now reached us. On Thursday a set of despatches were published in an Ex- traordinary Gazette, enclosed by Lord Raglan to the Secretary for War in London, and consisting of reports from Colonel Simmons, an engineer officer attached to Omar Pasha's staff, and a letter from Omar Pasha to Lord Raglan. From the Moniteur we have Commander Osmont's report, enclosed by General Canrobert to the Minister of War at Paris. - Prince Mcnschikoff's account of the affair is published in the Invalide Busse.

According to the Russian account, Prince Menschikofc anxious to ascertain the amount of the force at Eupatoria, directed Lieutenant- General Kruleff to make a strong reconnaissance upon the town. According to Omar Pasha, the Russian troops engaged in the affair arrived from Sebastopol, Perekop, and Simpheropol. The country to the North of Eupatoria is a sandy plain, broken by hillocks and tumuli : on the North-east there is a salt lake, a cemetery and & cluster of windmills. The intrenchmenta are at some little distance outside the town ; and are now said to be only half-finished, and only partly armed. Early on the morning of the 17th February, a strong. body of Russian cavalry, supported by dense columns of infantry, and preceded by sixty or seventy guns, appeared on the right and left of the town : the guns opened a heavy fire before daylight; to which the Turkish artillery replied with equal vivacity. For some time this was sustained on both sides ; but the Russians finding their position on the left of the town untenable, becauie of the fire of the men- of-war, directed their efforts to the works on the right, the weakest part of the line. Against this they advanced an additional battery,. and, opened a cross fire : Omar Pasha replied by reinforcing his right with fresh guns and battalions, and by requesting that the Viper gun-boat might join the French steamer Veloce and the Turkish steamer Schefaer on that side. That the intention of the Russians- was to take the place was now apparent; for the Azoff regiment, run- ning forward with planks and ladders, occupied the cemetery and the windmills. From this shelter they vainly attempted thrice to issue ;, rockets from a party landed by the Furious, and a heavy fire of musketry,. broke their ran ; and a brigade of Egyptians, under Senn Bey, rushing from the works, charged and overthrew them with the bayonet. The small body of Turkish cavalry on the spot, 300 in number, followed up the charge a short way, but dared not proceed far, on account of the ovez- whelming cavalry force drawn up at a short distance. Selim Bey was unfortunately killed, heading the charge of the Egyptians. The Russians retired in good order, leaving 453 dead bodies on the ground, but carry- ing away their wounded. It is admitted on all hands, and emphatically expressed by Lord Raglan, that the Turks fought with great gallantry and determination, and that the Turkish artillery sustained its old repu- tation.

" Our losses," says Omar Pasha, "are not very numerous, but they are to be deplored. We regret the death of Salim Pasha, Lieutenant-General com- manding the Egyptian troops. We had, moreover, 87 killed and 277 wounded ; 79 horses killed and 18 wounded. Amongst the killed there are seven officers, and 10 are wounded, amongst them Suleiman Pasha. Thir- teen inhabitants of the town have been killed, and 11 wounded." The French had four killed and eight wounded; Lieutenant Las Cases among the latter.

After the combat, two of the Turks presented the heads of two Rue- sians to Omar Pasha—he instantly ordered them to prison. TUAREY.—For some time the wreck of the army of Anatolia has beeii entirely dependent for its existence upon the influence that Colonel Wil- liams the British Commissioner could bring to bear upon the Turkish authorities ; and so far as it has been saved from utter destruction, it is admitted that he has saved it. The Pashas appear to have received money to pay the troops, but to have appropriated it to pay themselves. Colonel Williams exerted himself to put an end to this system; and, for- tunately, on the 22d January he received from Constantinople his ap- pointment as General of Division in the Ottoman *service, and forthwith proceeded to use his power in a way not relished by the Pashas. Ismail Pasha, the new Commander-in-chief, was far on his way to Erzroum. The advanced posts of the army were beyond Kars, under the command of the able and intrepid Hungarian general, Kmety.

Ireiv.—The .Piedmontese Gazette of the 4th instant contained a mani- festo of the Government, signed " Cavonr," declaring war against RULIBili. The exequaturs accorded to Russian consuls are withdrawn. The pro- perty and persons of Russian subjects are to be scrupulously respected, and a term fixed for Russian ships to leave the ports of Sardinia.

Dimmers.—A telegraphic despatch from Berlin, dated Wednesday, states that the Danish Volksthing has resolved to impeach the late Ministers of War, Marine, and Finance. The King of Denmark has been confined to his bed for a week by a severe cold, accompanied by a bad cough and slight fever."

Guns..—The constituted authorities of this island would seem to have

ratical expedition. At the anost recent dates there was considerable ex- citement at Havanah ; the Nkttole island had been declared in a state of siege ; a military commission had been formed for the Eastern end of the island ; and, beside a new Militia force, all persons between the ages of eighteen and fifty were invited to enrol themselves as volunteers. The New York journals openly speak of an expedition as about to assemble under the name of "the Kinney expedition," ostensibly directed against Central America, really against Cuba. The United States Government was said to be on the watch to prevent its sailing.

On the 7th Dr. Ramon Pinto, Dr. Jose Echeverria, Administrator of the Havanah Railroad, M. Cadalgo, Administrator of the Court of Penalva, and others, were arrested on a charge of conspiracy to assassinate the Governor-General. Pinto is described as offering to kill Concha at the Opera. It is stated that he is a personal friend of the Governor-General.

Ausram...ta.—By adviees from Melbourne, down to the 5th December, it appears that the insurrection at Ballarat had been suppressed. At four o'clock on Sunday morning the 3d December, the troops took up posi- tions encompassing the camp of the diggers, at Eureka, which was con- structed of piles of slabs, and over which floated " the Southern Cross." The battle was short and sharp. The soldiers first fired over the heads of the insurgents; the fire was returned ; then firing on both sides con- tinued for ten or fifteen minutes, till the diggers hauled down their flag. There were 21 or 26 killed in the camp, and 16 wounded ; 126 sur- rendered as prisoners. Of the soldiers, Captain Wise was so dangerously wounded in the leg that amputation was considered necessary ; Lieute- nant Paul was seriously wounded ; three privates were killed, and 30 wounded. After the conflict, the troopers were sweeping through the district making captures. On the 4th December, Sir Charles Hotham proclaimed martial law, "in the district of Buninyong," and called upon all true subjects of the Queen, and foreigners enjoying British protection in the colony, to hold themselves in readiness to maintain order and the supremacy of the law.
