THE SWEDISH ALLIANCE.—A BALTIC CAM. PAIGN.
The Moniteur of Thursday contains a copy of the treaty
per to make this communication through the same medium, to just contracted between the Allied Powers and Sweden. |
‘he latter Power engages not to cede to, nor to exchange with, Russia either tervitory, pasturage, fishing, or other privileges. The. Allied Powers, in retura, will defend Sweden ugainst Russia.
The Borsenhalle states that the treaty concedes tu France and England the privilege of establishing depots and hospitals on Swedish territory. In return, the Western Powers un- dertake to maintain the integrity of Sweden against Russia, should the latter treat the conduct of the Swedes as a breach of neutrality, and declare war.
It is believed that a treaty of offensive alliance has. also” been contracted, but if so its provisions will not be made public until the time for active co-operation in the spring.
Great arfangements are making in the Baltic ports on English account for victualling aud providing the fleet next spring. :
Cuntracts have also heen made in Sweden for the French | fleet, and, it is reported, also for un accompanying army.

ETWEEN | THE NORTH AND SOUTH FORTS. - | General correspondence from the Crimea states that the Russians on the north side of Sebastopol continue a yery heavy fire against the south side, sometimes nearly all day at the rate of two guns a minute. The Allies reply but little ; their engineers continue at work within the town. The British army is, this winter, over-supplied with equipments. Each man has a water-pruof suit, besides tweed eoats lined with skin, fur caps and cow-hiile boots, and for the officers, suits of sealskin are sold at moderate prices. ‘The French only receive from their Government an ordinary capoto, and must buy any additional wrap they may find necessary. The weather was becoming cold, the thermometer occasionally as low as 102 and snow falling steadily. It is. admitted, froin Enatish | sources of information, that the Russian army in the Crimea | is well provisioned for the winter. They (the Russians) have large supplies at Simpheropol and Duvenkoi, where their re- serves are, There are still eleven Russian infantry divisions in the Crimea, two having gone North.

| . ~ . . af committed by Mr. Clark iu making ep the amount ofa bond
due by the late firm of Traverse & McPhee. The Islander | protested that the money could not be recovered—that if'an (action were commenced against Travers> & MePhee, th Attorney General's fees would amount to as much as the claim, and if the suit went against the Government, there would a loss of £20 to the revenue; butif the Government should gai it,said the Islander, there would still be a loss of £10,in the shape | of fees to the Attorney General. Our attention was turned & | all this balderdash by learning the other dey that a short tim previously a new bond was executed, including the £10 at first refused to be paid, as soon as the parties found that th Attorney General really did mean to prosecute, and that they certainly would lose the suit. But before the Attorney Gene ral was prepared to take any proceedings in the matter, Mts Clark paid the deficient £10 out of his own pocket into the Treasury. So all the hubbub of the Islander went, in tit usual way, for nothing.
We cannot say whether it was malice or ignorance whi prompted Maclean to tell his readers that Mr. Attorney Gent ral Hensley would get fees out of the suit, if it went on, to the amount of £10. He ought to have known that Mr. Hensley could not receive a shilling in the shape of fees if the suit did go on, and continued even for a month. The Salary Bill provides a fixed allowance for the Attorney General, and under that Bill he is prec'uded from receiving any fees whatever for any professional services rendered to the Government. So much for Duncan Maclean’s ignorance of law, or his malice in mit representing it, for a facti
ous purpose.
Turre appeared in the obituary list of the Islander of F riday weck, an announcement of the death of a beloved daughter of the Hon. Mr. Warburton. In almost the next column of tle same paper there appeared a violent and ferocious attack @ the private as well as public character of the bereaved parellly which, we need not say, was uttorly fals: and malicious from beginnning to end. The most implacable savage, in the most barbarous age, would never think of perpetrating such an out rage as that, Bat it is in the hour of domestic afiliction with its opponents the Islander most delights to exhibit its against them. The Advertiser of Thursday last descants on the enormity ia the following terms—an enormit y, we feel assured, which has no parallel in the history of newspaper attacks:—
‘* For many weeks past it bas been a part of the unenvi labors of Mr. McLean, in the columns of the Islander, to ¥ and endeavour to detract from the public and private chara of the Hon. James Warbarton; the stigmas and slandet hurled at that gentleman's name, hy the implacable sre are too bald and flagrant in their character for any setl consideration or grave notice ; and we should not now ba? used a penfull of ink in adverting to those calumnicsy
merely refer to them in connectian with the continued at at this particular time, upon that honorable gentleman, in ™ last issue of the Islander.
