Th# f> r aaeo*Hniita» Alliance.
H,e most startl ing event conneated with
the prctont agitating crisis in Europe, is the
ftllUuce, Xtffenstve and defensive, of France
and Russia. It, at once, changes the entire
*s[>eot *f affairs—places tho formidable
power of the great Eastern despotism upon
tlte flank and rear of Germany —neutral-
ises the assistance its several States way be
disposed to offer to Austria—and leaves that
power to battle it out in the best mariner ii
can, with the forces of Imperial France. As
regards the number of combatants who are
to engage in the conflict, the parties are now
more nearlj equal than it was suppposed
they would be before the arrival of the Anglo
Sa*ou. If it be true, as the telegraph says
it is, that the French had already been
)>ouriug into Piedmont, before the Austrians
had crosifed the Ticino, the latter will cer
tainly meet with a desperate resistance
upon the very threehhold. Oa the Sardi
nian side of the river, with anything like an
equality of force, we entertain but little
doubt that the allies will b<J successful.—
The French troopsare.it is tobppresqmpd, ve
terans tried in the terrible Sebibtopol,
er the never ending petty wars af Algeria.
They will be fighting on ground immortal
ized by the valor of their ancestors. They
will be animated by the memories of Mon
tenotte, Millesimo, Dego, Mondovi and Ma
rengo—all of them lying within the limits
of the very region which is again to be the
battle-field of Europe—to equal, if they can
not surpass, the deed* which have rendered
those spots immortal. Upon the same
ground where, sixty yij-irs ago, their fore
fathers so often met and so often vanquish
ed the forefathers of their present foe, the)
result will not, we predict, be doubtful for
a moment. In one respoct, they will have
a vast advantage over the soldiers of revo
lutionary France. They will meet with
friends in every native of Piedmont; and
the Piedmontese army, so far from fighting
against them, as in the former case, will
stand shoulder to shoulder with them, in
their efforts to drive the An#trians across
the Ticino. On the eastern side of that ri
ver, however, Austria possesses formidable
advantages. Numberless rivers, all of them
defended by formidable fortresses, traverse
the country, from North to South, at right
angles to the march of an army invading
it from Sardinia, and fall into the Po. Be
yond them is the famous line ot the Adige,
which, through its entire length, from the
ocean to its soiree in the Tyrolese Alps has
been rendered impregnable, by the labors
of nesrly half a century.
The Russian alliance seems to have taken
English statesmen by surprise. Yet it is
difficult to conceive why it could not have
been foreseen by the government of Lord
Derby. In so great a struggle as that which
they saw impending, when it became cer
tain that France would be compelled to en
counter the force of all Germany united,
that she should endeavor to strengthen her
position, and to render herself as formidable
as possible to her enemies, was a policy so
clearly dictated by prudence, that it might,
one would think, be regarded as inevitable.
And yet the Derby Cabinet, blinded by its
tory traditions, never seem 3 to have consid
ered it an event within the range of possi
bility. The tory party has ever been the
friend of absolutism founded upon legiti
macy, and of course has always been averse
to the French alliance. Not longer ago
than the middle of last month, Mr. D'lsraeli
told the House of Commons, as some of his
associates had already told the Houso of
liOrds, that the only obstacle to a peaceful
solution of the Sardinian question, was the
obstinacy of Sardinia herself, who pertina
ciously refused to place herself absolutely
at the* mercy of Austria by disarming, un
less she were allowed a seat at the proposed
congress, in which matters of deep interest
to her were to be discussed. For this de
monstration of ill-timed obstinacy the Court
of Turin was severely denounced, by
Mr. D'lsraeli in the Commons, and by
Lords Maltnesbury and Derby in the
Lords. The consequeuce was, that Sar
dinia, although there could be nothing
more just than her refusal, was compelled,
however reluctantly to abandon her ground.
She had no sooner done so, than Austria
Bhowed the cloven foot at once so clearly
that we presume nobody can now entertain
a doubt of her designs. The cabinet of
Lord Derby, instead of coming to an under
standing with France and Sardinia with re
gard to the nature and extent of their de
mands, and ascertaining how far they were
just with a view to settling them upon
principles of equity, betrayed by its Aus
trian proclivities, assumed a tone of dis
trust towards France and of menace to
wards Sardinia, and at last threw itself
without reserve into the arms of Anstria,
who by way of testifying her gratitude,
took the very first opportunity to treat tbeir
proposals with contempt. It is worthy of
observation, that France yielded to every
proposition which came from the govern
ment of Lord Derby, and that Sardinia did
the same, although by doing so, she exposed
herself to the most imminent peril. And
yet, after having treated these allies, who
had so lately fought by the side of England
with so much harshness and ingratitude,
Lord Darby's cabinet is astonished—all
England is astonished—that France has
strengthed her arm in this perilous crisis by
an alliance with Russia.
The Channel fleet has been ordered to the
Adriatic, with what view nobody appears
to know. If the cabinet of Lord Derby be
allowed to carry out its own objects, there
can be little doubt, that, this movement
will prove detrimental to the cause of Sar
dinia. Most unquestionably, if war once
commence, the cabinet will, if it can, en
list England once more in a war to support
absolute principles. But there is hope in
the English people, to whose arbitrament
the whole question is about lobe submitted
at the approaching elections. What their
award will be we do not doubt, although
it may be regarded as certain that every
effort will be made to stimulate English
Kousy of Russia, into approval of the
by policy.
The Rcitral Rlghti (iueatton.
The probable effect of a European war
upon the interests of the United States nat
urally becomes a subject of newspaper dis
cussion. That it would be beneficial bv
producing a new demand for our exportable
commodities, and especially graiu, and
provide new employment for our merchnnt
"hipping, there can be no doubt; whilst,
on the other hand, it might give rise to
some delicate and troublesome political
questions, an regards the neutral rights of
the United States. A Washington corres
pondent of the New York Journal of Com.
merct reminds the public that on the occur
rence of the late war between Russia, on the
one hand, and France, Great Britain and
oardinta, on the other, the question of neu
tral rights came up at once, and, during
the pregress of the war, the old pretensions
of extreme belligerent fight on the part of
Great Britain were suspended, bat not re
linquished. That suspension, on the part
of England, was induced by the coopera
tion, partly, that it happened, for tbe time
1 il,u ' r, s ' ; and partly out
occasion, ulic would act on the rule of free
ship* »nd tree goodi—that id, the immunity
of ncutml ships, except in the mutter of
contraband of war. Meanwhile, the United
States have Instituted negotiations on tins
very matter, for the purpose of concerting
it into a sort of convential law of nation#.
Uussia and Naples promptly met us, and
concluded with us treaties recognising neu
tral rights. Austria and Prussia manifest
ed favorable sentiments in that regard, but
Great Britain took no notice whatever ol
our overtures, and France, out of complai
sance to her ally, was offith in the matter;
and so the thing stood at the end of that
war. But then, England and France, tn
Paris Conferences, came forward with the
proposition that the five great powers rep
resented should enter into arrangements
among themselves in the general sense of
the overtures which had previously been
made to each of them by the United States,
and which overtures have been actually ac
cepted by Russia, but with two peculiarities
in the affair, of most remarkable and extra
ordinary character.
The two peculiarities were as follows :
First, they entered upon the Neutral Rights
question as if it had originated with them
selves, and had not been previously present
ed to them by the United States. In the
second place, after agreeing to the neutral
rights which the United States have been
asserting ever since the revolution —name-
ly, immunity of neutral ships from any in
terruption, except for contraband ; immu
munity for neutral goods, even in enemy
bottoms; and immunity of neutral ships
from any paper or merely nominal block
ade. After agreeing to all this, they adopt
ed a suggestion made by England, tor the
apparent purpose of striking at the I nited
States, although with careful suppression
here as in other parts ot the proceedings, of
any actual mention of the United States.—
The proposition was—to tender the Neutral
Right conclusions of the Conference to all
other nations, on the condition that those
other nations should relinquish privateer
ing in war.
Accordingly, France m.tde the tender, and
the U. S., in reply, made an additional and
amendatory proposition, that not only
should plundering by privateers be abolish
ed, but that ships of war should not be per
mitted to plunder private property on the
sea. Before this proposition, which emana
ted from the late Secretary Marcy, received
a decisive answer from the powers to whom
it was addressed, and who seem to have been
considerably taken aback by it, the Buchan
an administration virtually withdrew it,
having come to the wise conclusion that it
would do no good for England to agree not
to capture belligerent private property on
the sea, unless with such precautions on the
subject of the law of blockade, as should
guard against England going to work and
preventing any ot the merchants from going
to sea with their ships.
In this state of the negotiation,—remarks
the intelligent correspondent of the N. York
Journal of Cotntntrre, —which it will be seen
only affects the rights of neutrals, and dimin
ishes the power of belligerents as against neu
trals, but also goes beyond the question of
neutrals to diminish the power of bfjlligerents
as against one .another, the possible risk is,
that in case of a European war, the Paris
Conference, including England, ma)* say to
the U. States that, as we have not come into
their terms, we shall continue subject as a
neutral, to the old belligerent pretensions of
G. Britain. That is to say, that enemy goods
shall be subject to capture in our ships, and
our goods be subject to capture on board
enemy ships. That is a risk, however, which
we are chiefly subject to, on the side of Eng
land.
Wokds. —We ha%e al
readj noticed the announcement made bj
Mr. Dickens of the discontinuance of
"Household Words," and the counter an
nouncement of Messrs. Bkaobcry k Evans,
publishers, that that work would not be
discontinued. A London letter, alluding
to the legal proceedings on the subject.Ays:
You may expect further applications to the
Court* of Equity on the subject of Household
Words, and the respective rights of the partners
to that publication. Mr. Dickens, whose connect
tioe with the HmvsthM Words does not expire un
til towards the end of M vv, is about to bring out
his new serial at tbe close of this month. One
would suppose him likely to prove rathor a hard
stepfather to the elder bantling while the new
child is craving for support. I am told that the
reduction io the value of Household Words, from
tbe step taken by Mr. Dickens, has been calcula*
ted at £4009. Tbe serial, copyright, back stock,
stereotypes, Ac , was valued at £10,000 soma six
months before Mr. Dickens so strangely announc
ed the discontinuance of a publication in which
he was ouly a partner, and since that announce
ment the valuation of £6,000 has bees put upou
it. This shows that the professional valuers, at
least, do not share the extra j adicial opinion of the
Mister of tbe Kolls,that the valuo Household Words
would die with Mr. Dickeus's retirement from its
editorship. I presume that a sale of the property
can only be effected under a decree of the court,
and that powers will probably be sought to pro
vide for tbe efficient conduct of the journal dur
ing (he interval that will elapse botween tbe ap«
pearance of tbe first number of Mr. Dickens's
new oerial and tbe termination of bis editorial
connection with the old one.

on making inquiries. It was ascertained that
young Dubois had not been at the offlce since Sat
urday, nor at his usual boarding place, and the
forgery was at once traced to him. Fnrtber in
vestigation developed the fact that he had not
ouly perpetrated the crime we fcave described,
which he must have had in contemplation for
some time, but that in bis subsequent flight from
the city, he bad taken with him a young lady
about eighteen years of age, the sister of the wife
of a very respectable citizen, to whose grief we
will not add auother pang by giving publicity to
her name.
The guilty partner in tho flight of the young
forger, is said to be handsome and well educated,
and until this affair, had borne an irreproachable
character. She had been a resideut of the city
about six months, having came from New York
city to reside with her brother-in-law. As soon
as the fact became known that they had left tbe
city the telegraph was brought into requisition
in every direction, in hopes to intercept them bo
fjre they got out of tbe country.
Young Dubois is only about nineteen years of
age, and had been in the rmploy of the Kailroad
Company for the past eighteen months, during
which time,his conduc', so far as the officers had
any knowledge, had been above suspicion. lie was
prompt in his attention to business, and bad the
entire confidence of his employers.
lie was oue of the youngvst clerks In the offlce,
and was generally employed in assorting and
couuting the caucelled tickets. llis habits and
associations wore supposed to be Rood, although

morals, when not under tbe eye cf his friends,
were not of the strictest. In addition to his usual
apparent correct deportment, ho was a regular at
tendant atChristey Chapel, and was the Librarian
in the Sunday School. His punctuality,ln attend
ing the school had beeu so marked, that bis ab
sence on Sunday iast excited much inquiry, but no
suspicion was entertained that it was voluntary, or
tbe result of crime. Shonld the money not be re.
covered, the loss, will, we presume, fall entirely
upon the Dank.
