Captain C. was thus quite at home in the Wynaud jungle, and great western gaughts, where he probably brought to bag single handed more head of large game—elephants, bisons, tigers, and the like—than any other man ever did before, or ever will again, in India. Upon one of these excursions, Captain C. happened to be passing the night in a small village in the Wynaud jungle, when a ryot, who had been out very late searching for a stray bullock, come to tell him of a large chetul, or spotted deer, which he had watched to his lair. He had also heard from the

The native who was with him saw what it was likewise, p.nd immediately fled.

and England have

notifled the Swedish Government that- alt the Russian harbors are to be closed. A Russian Ukase is published, which says that whoever after a battle, commits acts of cruelty on the wounded or unresisting shall suffer death. Kight English steamships were taken soundings of Etchekoff, and hence it is surmised the allies will make an attack on Perekuk.. A levy of ten on every 1,000 is ordered fn take place in the eastern half of the Empire to be completed by March 10th.

CoNSTANTiN'ori.n, Dec. 20.—It is confidentially asserted that the resolution had been adopted to storm while the British and Turks attack MenchikofF.

There is a report that Omcr Pacha lias returned to the Sultan, making in conditions that he shall accept the command, that he shall have two votes in the council of war, in order to prevent his being out voted by Raglan and Canrobert.

VIENNA, Dec. 28.—It, is stated that at the conl'creuce held here on the ISth, notes were exchanged between the Representatives of the three allied powers defining tho sense in which their cabinets understood the four points proposed as conditions of peace. Prince GorlehokofF demands time to obtain instructions from his government.

The British Parliament is not in session. The royal assent has been given to the foreign enlistment bill, but trie measure continues as unpopular as ever.

Cul. Colt denies, in a letter to the London Times, that he has offered to furnish the Czar with his pistols.

FRANCE.—The Emperor, in his ppcech, alludes to the treaty with Austria as defensive for the present. He thanks the British Parliament lor ill cordial and warm manifestations and the English army fur its val-

ted at L'f 100 soldiers, 1,300 horses, and G,300 sailors on ship board. He asks for an additional levy of 140,000 men. The spccch is highly praised but has caused a slight depression in the funds. On the 27th the Minister of Finance was authorized to negotiate a loan of 500,000,000 francs.

Si'Aix.—A letter from Madrid states that Mr. Soule was present at the discussion which took place in the Chambers in relation lothe sale of Cuba. iNo report of the discussion ismcntior.cd.

EUROREAN AITAIHS.—The N. Y. Times' has a letter from London, dated Uec. Tub, evidently from one of the Revolutionists, most proGably from Kossuth, wiiich says:

England is on the point of concluding a dishonorable peace, or divesting the war of even that particle of seeming liberalism with which it h.-is been invested until how. There are strong reasons for believing that the new year will open upon anew Congress in Vienna. All signs point to that direction, and one of these signs, and not the least, though the last, is the resolution of Mr. Gladstone not to ask for a loan. There is money enough in the treasury to conclude a "little war," although there be none to prosecute a grand one to a glorious and really profitable issue. This new treaty ig nothing sir, but a conspiracy of allied and alarmed diplomacy to make peace at any price.
