" We leant ) from Paris that the convention ! between thro French , and-. English Governments ' which was signed w few days ago- in London has . already been ratified , and that the text of this important document , will , probably appear this , morning , in the Mbnitkur . The object of the alliance of the two Courts is stated to te the res-establishment of peace between the Emperor of Russia and the Sultan on a permanent basis , aud the preservation of Europe from the dangers which have disturbed tha general peace . For this purpose , and in order to rescue' the dominion of the Sultan from
foreign invasion , the'Bnglieh-atid Prenatr Governments agree to combineptheir roititarj aud naval forces in' a manner sufficient , to accomplish the' result they have' in view , They bind- themselves not . to . accept any proposition for the-cessation of hostilities against . Russia- -without having communicated to each other tho nature of such overtures . They distinctly disclaim- all exclusive advantage to themselves from the events which may arise , and they invite the rest of Europe to' co-operate with , them in an alliance-destined solely to protect the public interests of Europe . The lateness of the hour at which this information reaches us compels us to defer till to-morrow all further commend on this important convention , which seems to supply tbe necessary basis to the operations in which tlie English and . French forces - are now engaged , and will , we trust , cement the permanent alliance of the Wesiorn Powers . "
Some of the provincial journals havo spoken of th « intention of founding military establishments on the shore of the Mediterranean , near Toulon , or in the north' at Dunkirk or Boulogne . The Union says : — A similar establishment is spokeu of on our western ooasts . If the rumours on this subject a » o not erroneous , numerous regiments of infantry and cavalry , destined eventually to take part in the expedition to the Baltic , are to to daheloned along the shore from Brest to Cherbourg , so as to be ready for immediate emburkatiom "
