AUSTRIA. The Empress of Austria Li now so far recovered from the effects of he.l.- 'late accouchement that she is able to take carriage exPrcise. The Austrian Gazette of the -14th says :—" Wo have lately had an amusing proof of the avidity with which fresh intelligence is sougl:t after here. Prince Galitziu having arrived here, it was at once rumoured about that he had brought the instructions from St. Petersburg, which were so impatiently expected, and every one began to speculate on their contents. It was only after a thousand comments had been made that it was discovered that Prince Galitzin had not come from St. Potersburg at all, but from Athens, where he bad been sent to notify the accession of Alexan• der II." PRUSSIA. BERLIN, April 16.—The following piece of diplo matic petulence will furnish you with a striking commentary on those statements that have gone the round of a portion of the press lately, that" something like a conciliation was going on between Ausria and Prussia. It is a circular dispatch issued by Count Buol to the diplomatic agents of Austria, under date of March 23, and a copy of which has not been delivered hero : " VIENNA, March 23.—The cire&ar despatch of the Prussian Cabinet of the Bth instant was not brought to my knowledge by Count Arnim by order of his Govern ment till after its publication in the new-paper press. The only expression that this communication was calcu lated to elicit from me was, that of astonishment that the document in question could have been written for well-informed readers. We thought that respect for the Prussian Government D-quired that a weight sh .uld realty be attached to the written and oral expressions of its representative Fratdcfort, c,rresoonding to the en ipe and purport of his words. The circuoisiance that the Prussian representative at 'the Bond had thro,s n difficulties in the way of our notice with reference to the execution of the Federal Resolution of Feb ruary 8, by formal declarations in the Diet, so that there can be no question of any doubtful inteti tions of his Government that required further expla nation, seemed to us to c 11 not for a,other reference of Herr von Bismarck to his Government, but for another repeated frank exposition of the position 'we take up Nothirqr, is tiirther fr..ra our intlati , ns than to conlioue this unfruitful war of worts, and we therefore ftrward you herewith no instructions as regard- any coinmunica tion to the C:m it to which you are acendited with re ference to the above mentioned man festation of the Court of Berlin. " Receive the assurauc , , &c., " BUOL." "An nnekpected little Congress of Princely f undies," says the independance of Brussels, "took place on the 12th at Bremen. The Queen of Hanover arrived early in the day, and were fol lowed soon after by the Grand Duke and G, Duchess of Oldenburg, and the Duke and Princess Theresa of Altenbourg, all travelling in strict in cognito. The angust travellers returned in the evening to their respective residences." THE BALTIC FLEET. The following is an extract from a private letter : " Her Majesty's ship Imperieuse, Great Belt, April 12, 1852. " Will you be kind enough to send us a Navy List for this half-year, as soon as it becomes due We are now on our way to Kiel, where we stop only a few hours, and then proceed up the Baltic as far as the ice will permit. We left Nyborg this morning, where we had lain three days coaling and waiting until the ice had broken up, and cleared out of the Belt to enable us to proceed. After leaving Nyborg, and getting about six or seven miles off, it came' on so foggy that we were obliged to anchor (the Euryalus in company ; Conflict we left. at Nyborg, and to join us to-morrow ; the rest of the squadron were at. Landscrona, jest below Elsineur). At 12.30 to-day the fog cleared away, so we wehihed anchor and proceeded through the Great Belt, passing a great quantity of ice. We shall get to Kiel to-night, if not stopped again by the ice or fog. We received one paper only at Nyborg—the Evening Mail, of the 21st March, which was old news to us. However, I hope we shalt receive the rest when we arrive at Kiel. We are now cutting our way through a large field of ice about five or six inches thick ; it grinds just as if the ship were running on shore. "Kiel, April 13. "We arrived here this morning at eight a.m. After passing through that field of ice yesterday afternoon we kept pretty clear of others we saw until eight o'clock last night., when an immense field of ice was reported ahead, and a few minutes afterwards crash she went right into it, when she became firmly fixed ; the Euryalu'. being astern of u', of course kept clear of it. We tried every means to get her off, and at last, by sending hawsers to the Euryalus, we were towed off. The ire was as firm as a rock ; it was about, 18 feet thick. We go'l off about 11 15 that. night, and steamed cle. , r of the ice, where we anchored till daylight. At 4.15 morning we weighed and priceeded under, st,!ant f r Kiel, where we arr-ved as I have told you. On our arrival here we got our propeller up, when we found that oni curl er of one of the blades had struck the ice. and aa rent very much. We were also told that the ice up the Baltic'wss now 30 feet thick, nod it was impossible for us to g.•t up there. This Wale has been clear of ic only two day", so had we come earlier we could not have got in. Ido not know how long we remain here. I have not any more news to telt you at present." SARDINIAN CONTINGENT. ALEXANDRIA. APRIL l4.—This morning the re view and benediction of colours tool .place ou the Pla4l of Marenwo, about a mile to the eastward of Alexandria. Some of the troops had been camped on th ground for several days before, and all were formed by 10 o'clock this morning. Ahout 11 his Maj-sty arrived by special train from Turin, at tended by a nAmerons staff and the representatyt s o France and Englmid. He immediately mounted amid repaired to the field, where he was received with the mm al honours. and, after passing up and down the line, he took his station facing the chape l, which was placed in a pavilion, decorated with military trophies, on a slightly elevated mound, and round which the troops were grouped at a dis tance of 100 or' 200 yards. The mass was per f Tined by the senior chaplain of the division, and after the colours had been blessed by hint they were brought up to the King by the officers to whom they were confided, and the Minister of War read the following speech in the name of his Majesty:— " Officers, Sub-officers, and S.,ldiers,—A war, founie't on justice, on which depends the tranquillity of Eur ape and the fate of our country, calls you to the East. You will mice far lands, where the Cross of Savoy is not un known. You will see brave peoples and armies whose fame fills the world. Their example will be a stimulus to you to show to all that you have no less valour than our fathers. " On other occasions I have led you on the 11 , 4 d of honour, and I remember with pride sharing dangers and faiguEs with you. I now grieve to separate myself from you for a time. My wishes will follow you every where, and it will be a happy day for me when I shall be reuni . ,ed to yin. " Soldiers,—There are your colours. Generously un furled by the magnanimous Carlo Alberto, they record a distant country and eight centuries of noble traditions. You know how to defend them. Bring them back crowned with fresh glory, and your sacrifices will be blessed by the present and future generations." At the conclusion there were several rounds of hearty cheers given for the King, in which the ci vilians present joined with as much enthusiasm as the military. The spectacle concluded by the troops defiling before his Majesty, and their appearance in so doing elicited the admiration of all who saw them. There were present portions of each divi sion and regiment of the expedition for the East, amounting to about 7,000 men, in complete march ing order, so complete that a part, in fact, marched off the ground to Novi, en route for Genoa. In the afternoon the King gave a dinner at the Palace here to the chiefs of the expedition, the Ministers of France and Eirland, Count Cavour, Sze., and returned by rail to Turin in the evening. We read in the Opinione of Turin of the 15th that after the solemn distribution of the colours to the troops of the Piedmonte , e expedition, the King of Sardinia wave a grand banquet to the chief com manders. The French and British ambassadors, the ministers, and other persons of distinction were present. 84 83 35: THE lONIAN ISLANDS. A letter from Corfu dAteil the 9th of April, say —" The new Lord. High Commissioner, Sir John Young, arrived here this morn'ng. The departure of Sir Henry Ward is fixed for the 12th." SPAIN . MADRID, APRIL 16 The grand review passed yesterday by the Duke of Victoria was magnificent ; 25,.000 men were in line. The trolps cried, " Vivo the Queen," " Vivo Espartero," " Vive Liberty." M. Oluzaga, will leave for Paris on Friday. The MAdrid journals of the 13th have arrived. The city continued perfectly tranclitil ; the seoti nels who had been stational in the streets lea.ling to the Puerta del Sol to prevent the collection uf crowds in that place had been remo ved ; ancl patrols in the street anl other means of precau. tion, had ceased. The Gazette announces that 01( Queen had again expressed, through the first con : stitutional alcalde, her thanks to the nationa guard for its energetic and prudent conduct ii the recent attempted insurrection. The Gazett also publishes a circular from the Minister of Pub lic Worship and Justice to the bishops, complain ing that they and the clergy had not suppliod the information, which they were some time ago called on to produce * for enabling the go vernment to adopt new- arrangements and re gulations relative to the ecclesiastical admiuistra- THE SUN LONDoN,! TRURSI)AY _EVENING APRIL 19 1,ci55 tion of parishes ; and it intimates that, if the bishops and clergy do not, without delay, commu nicate what is required, special measures will be adopted against them. The journals confirm what was said some days ago as to the Pope's Nuncio having presented a protest from his hotness against the religious bases of the constitution, and against the bill for the sale of ecclesiastical property. Ru mours of the retirement of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of tbo Interior continued current, and it was said that the former was to be nominated to the lucrative post of President of the Supreme Tribunal of Justice, vacant by the death of M. Alonzo. General Infante was spoken of for the Ministry of the Interior, and M. Gonzales, Am bassador at London for that of Foreign airs. In the Cortes on the 10th M. Alonso, of the demo cratic party, proposed a motion to the effect that the bill on the naticnal guard, recently adopted, should not be submitted to the royal sanction ; but after a speech from the Minister of Justice, the Corte:: rejected the proposition by 119 votes to 30. The Minister of the Interior brought in a bill re lative to substitutes in the army. The discussion on the part of the budget relative to the Civil List was resumed ; and the annual allowance to the Queen was fixed at 28,000,000 reals (the real is about 5 sous). The proceedings in the Cortes on the 11th up to post-hour were of no interest.. A letter from Saragossa states that seventeen of the inhabitants had been an ested for having refused to pay their share of a forced loan of 500,000 reals imposed by the municipality. , E 4,1 tt K E T Lt _A E (THIS DAY.)

The New York letters to the 4th inst. represent business as being dull, and the Californian failures had caused an uneasy feeling. Messrs. Page, Bacon, arid Co. of St. Louis, had again suspended payment, as will be seon by the following : "It is with sorrow that we announce the suspen sion of the firm of Page and Bacon of St. Louis. Their drafts were again dishonoured at their agency to-day, and the second suspension has overtaken the firm at a time when its friends hoped it had regained sufficient strength to sustain its .resumption. The position of affairs in Califirnia, end the protracted suspension of the house of Page, Bacon, and Co., Of San Francisco, is the principal cause of the relapse of the house in St. Louis Drafts to a large amout:t on the Sin Francisco house . have been sent on here for payment, and so far as the means of the house here would admit, have been liquidated. This weakened the firm of Page arid Bacon, which, with the absence of remittances of gold, cJuipelled the St. Louis firm to falter again in their payments. It will be very difficult for this con cern t o re sume woin, and we fear the only course left is to go into liquidation and close un. It now appears that the resumption iu Feb ruary last was premature ; that it should have been post ponsd until return advices had been received from Cali fornia, so that the worst would have been known." The Count and Countess of Trapani arrived at Rome on the 10th. A MERICA. LIVERPOOL APRIL 18.

From Guatemala a party writes under date of Fob. 10, that-- "In tha face of heavy gove'rnment debts, the House of Assembly ha l resolved to increase the salary of the President to $20,000 per annum ; and in order to be able to carry out this cherished "spoils" scheme, members intended to raise the tariff duties on foreign importations, adding so inuch:to the 24 per cent. already charged as would almost completely annihilate all legiti mate tad with other countries. Smuggling would, it was thought, largely incrra-e. The lion. J. L. Marling, United States inistor , hall arrived at Guatemala. In San Salvador the people were agitated with the discus sion of a proper :site for their new ca;)ital. Many pro- . per y holders want to have the city rebuilt, in its (Li situation, in 'defiance of former and expected earth quat, es." • Although the Norwegian Board of the Trunk Railway, under whose charge the ptactical working of the undertaking is placed, have advised the EngliAt directors that it is not their intention to issue any report until September, when the annual dividend becomes payable, it has been thought de sirahle by these latter to address a few words to the preference shareholders in order that there may be no misapprehension in reference to the position in which they stand. It must be borne in mind that from the net an nual receipts of the railway, the preference share holders are entitled to 5 per cent. on their capital before any further division of profits can take place. During the last year the question was raised, whether, in case the net receipts of any one-half year did not amount to a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, the difference ought to be made up on the receipts of the half-year next en been of a purely local nature. The Prohibitory Liquor Law hid passed the Senate, after a strong but steadily resisted effort to throw it out. From Washiugton we learn that the President had decided against an extra session of Congress, and that the action of the Government indicated warlike m e asures relative to the El Dorado and other ontrag , s committed by the Cuban au huricies. Much excitement has been created in conse quence of a report that Colonel Lewis L. Taylor, formerly clerk in the office of the first nu litor, had forged the name of Jefferson Davis, Secretary of War, to notes amounting to 10,000 or 20,000. do llars. He had left the city. It appears from the returns which have as yet been made public of the election in ?Kansas, which took place on the 30th ult., that the Anti-slavery party made a very indifferent stand. The elections throughout the country continued to result in the favour of the Know-nothings. An examination into the facts connected with the enlistment of recruits for the British Foreign Legion had taken place. Fifteen had been arrested at Philadelphia as they were leaving that city on board a steamer for New York. The number that had been raised in Philadelphia was estimated at 500. Upon this subject it was reported from Halifax that official orders had been issued to pro vide rations for 500 recruits for the army in the Crimea expected to arrive from the United States. In New York a person named J. R. Bucknell, said to be au officer of the British army, had been ar rested and sent to Philadelphia charged with en listing persons with this object: Mr. Bucknell represented himself as an engineer engaged in em ploying men to 'work on railroads in Texas. At an election at Cincinnati a savage riot had occurred between the Dutch and the Americans. The ballot-boxes were destroyed, and it could not be ascertained which party had elected their can didate. Several severe encounters took place, and the Dutch paraded the streets with a loaded cannon bidding defiance to the Americans. The latter, however, turned the table upon their opponents by seizing the cannon and us;rig it against them. The result was that three of the Dutch were killed. Che American party, one of whom was severely wounded, formed in procession and paraded the streets with a loaded cannon. The Germans took possession of the cannon, which bad been left on the public lauding, and conveyed it to the Free inasons'-hall. The Americans had sent a committee to demand its restoration, threatening, if it were not delivered up, to go and take it. Fears were eutertained that further disturbances would occur. Two persons, one of whom was a bystander, had been killed in an affray at the St. Charles Hotel at New Orleans. The steamer Bulletin had been burnt below Lake Prcohdence, and 23 of the passengers and crew were missing. The vessel and cargo, con 41sting of 3,500 bales of cotton, were a total loss. In the steamer Huntsville 4,000 bales of cotton had also been burnt. Terrific g des had been experi enced at Albany and Philadelphia. At Philadel phia an extensive gas factory was blown down, and 25 of the workmen buried in the ruins. Eight notties were taken from the ruins, and several per sons were severely injured. The damage was esti mated at $15,000. At the Democratic County convention, held in Philadelphia, one of the county counn i e sieners had been expelled for refusing to testify uuder oath against Keow-nothingisin.

The newly-discovered diggings at the Kern River were in great favour, people flocking thither in thousands, both by land and water. The most wonderful stories were reported, Rains bad fallen abundantly, and all the streams were swollen. AkSacranaento . the river had risen rapidly, and was onlytwo or three feet below the to intum height attained since the foundation of the city. The Pacific. Express Company had taken the place of Adams. and Co.'s Express. The latter concern had almost entirely disappeared. A specimen of almost pure gold, worth $876, had been taken out of a place in the neighbourhood of Downierille, Sierra county. An enterprising firm at San Francisco had put up a brig with despatches for Japan. From the Sandwich Islands we learn that the new King had issued a neutrality proclamation, and a notification that the Governments of Great Britain and France and the United States had offered him assistance to maintain his Government. From Mexico we learn that Santa Anna had re turned to the capital, and had been received with salvoes of artillery and other demonstrations of joy. Tie revolution was said to be losing ground. One of the chiefs of the late Boulbon expedition, Captain Matthew Thomas, representing himself as au Ame rican citizen, had been arrested and sent to San suing. This point was settled by its being arranged that the division of protits should for the present take place annually, a decision to which the Eng lish directors were the more induced to agree, inas much as the traffic of the hue is of that peculiar nature as to be, in a great degree, dependent upon circumstances beyond human control, so that the vicissitudes of the weather de termine, in a great measure, the proportions of the whole traffic which shall be carried in each particular season of the year ; thus, during the first half year since the formal opening of the line, the long drought extending far into the autumn not only prevented the usual amount of timber from being floated down to the saw-mills, but left the mills themselves for a period of 4 mouths without the necessary power to convert the usual stocks. To this, the principal brandh of the traffic, there has been, therefore, a considerable check, but as may easily be perceived, it is probable that the greater portion of this decrease will be recovered and that the transport of the timber is, in fact, not lost to the railway, but deferred. The directors have found on the other hand that the returns of passenger and ordinary goods traffic for the present year show a progressive increase, and they conceive that notwithstanding the derangement produced by the unsettled state of the north of Europe, there is still every prosp.xt of the twelvemonths traffic being found equal to all reasonable expecte- The Hon. the East India CompanY tions. • • 20 have now 20 formerly notifted to the Bombay Biroda, and Con- ?ri int India Railway Company, the immediate con- UV struction of a portion of their lino of railway, coin- to o • mencing at Surat and proceeding to Baroda and 25 Ahmedabad, on the understanding that this com pany aro, when required, to coutinne the line.from 100 Surat to Bombay. A guaranteed interest at the leo rate of 5 per cent. per annum is at the same time 20 granted in the first instance upon 500,000/., the 5 amount of capital required to make the first portion 5 of the line. 5 This being almost a holiday in the City , an d the 20 principal thoroughfares much impeded, business 4 generally is suspended, and the Stock Exchange 204 i also is comparatively inactive. The following have too been the current prices up to the hour of our writing which, from the " state of blockade," is r o g I necessarily earlier than usual : 1100 The following are the nominal prices of foreign 20 stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 61 to 61 ; Mexi- 1.00 can, 20 to 201 ; Peruvian, 69 to 71; ditto Three 20 per Cents., 48 to 50 ; Portuguese Four per Cents., b 41 to 43 ; Russian Five per Cents., 98 to 100; 20 ditto Four-and 7 a-Half per Cents., 88 to 90 ; . t Spanish New Deferred, 18 s L to 18i ; ditto Three 20 per Cents., 361 to 361; ditto Certificates, 41 to 51; 33i ditto Passive, 3 1 to 4i-. 10 20 The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this date are in roun d figures as under : 20 16 1855. 1854. 20 Great Western North-Western 54,260 53,886 South-Western Brighton 51 iillaii cl ...... ..

Pinto, the chief of the conspirators had been put to death, awl Cadalzo anti Pinelo, it was supposed, would be sentenced to 10 years in the chain tang in Africa. An effort to procure their execution was, however, being made. The Consul of the United States is reported to have notified to the Captain General, by direction of Secretary Marcy, that " if one drop of American blood is spilled in the present crisis the Government of the United States will not be answerable for the result." An American citizen, Francisco Estranges, is under sentence of death. A rres t s continued to be made. In New York business continued without im provelnent. Stagnation prevailed in every depart ment of trade. Capital was abundant at 6to 7 per cent. on call loans. In the stock-market there was a slight concession in prices on the part of sel lers. In foreign exchange the transactions were only to a moderato extent, and sterling closed less firmly at 9Z to Paris, ttc., were quoted at sf. 14c. and to sf. 10c., and on Bremen, 79 to 80. The cotton market c!osed firm, but the prices were kc. below those current a week previously. Light receipts continued to be reported at the Southern Ports. Flour had advanced 12 to 25c. There was no inquiry for export at the high prices current. Provisions were firm, with an active de ' mand. Naval stores dull. The demand.for Scotch pig-iron was light, and as holders were firm the sales were only in small lots at $3O to $3l at six mouths. In freights the market generally was without change, and the offers in all directions continued light.

The Debats .and the _Pays, however, vary the uniformity of the other journals with p'litical discussions. The former indulges in some speculations on what may lie the tone of opinion and possible resolves at St. Petersburg as well as at Vienna. It observes I that-- TBE FRENCH JOU -VIENNA C! IN TB B "It is not only at Vienna. it is also at St. Petersburg that the con.litiens of the future peace have . provoked long and animated discmaions. There is at St. Peters burg a War party as well as a peace party ; these, two pa , ties have their representatives iu the councils of the empire, and are' not without influence on the resolu ti,ms of the Government. The war party has the pre tension of being the national party par excellence, and the must faithful representation of Russian nationality. It shows itself singularly jealeus for the honour and grand eur o f Russia ; it is fall of respect and devotion for the national religion, which it professes ex clusively, and as the masses have come to be persuaded that the actual war is a, holy war, it is drawn towards the war by the reli g i ous ardour of the population. The peace party, more experienced than that of war, better instructed in the affairs of Europe, and on that account even more prudent, is more moderate and circumspect. Its patriotism is sinez..re, but enlightened ; Russian na tionality is dear to it, but it desires not to compromise it in unreflected enterprises ; it would not bear any taint to the honour and dignity of the imperial crown, baits opinion is that this honour and dignity would not suffer because sacrifices painful and necessary, coun selled by the interests of the country, should be sub mitted to. The contest between the war party and the peace party has been reanimated, as might be expected, on occasion of the communications which . Prince Gortschakoff and M. de Titaff have transmitted to their Government in the recent deliberations of the Confer- enee at Vienna, on demanding fresh instructions and powers." The I iebats proceeds to show that at St. Peters burg the great stumbling-block was still the third condition of guarantee. Various combinations had been proposed at Vienna for its solution, and dis cussed either officially in the Conference or offici ously iu the private reunions of its members, from whence had resulted the one advantage at least of a precise indication of the light in which that con dition is viewed and the real impressions under which it was conceived. The question, aczording to the bebats, was thus placed by the plenipoten tiaries of the allied powers i— "To put an end to the preponderance of Russia in the Black Sea, it will not suffice that measures should be taken, which would impose on Turkey and her A:lies as active and incessant surveillance and confirmed sacrifices. In the long run such me :sures wou:d infallibly lose their efficacy ; they would become impracticable on the day that the alliance which is f , rmed agiiinst Russia should be dissolved or simply relaxed. That which we must have is a real, notable, and direct west eniug in that sea, proceeding from a reduction of her naval forces ; and a form of in terastional relations which (bay prevent Russia from the clandestine restorationof her marine, :and preserve Europe front a r.u,l‘leu and unforeseen irruption.—This declaration so formal excluded all other systems pro posed. . . . It is precisely that which the Russian pleniputentiarie4 hare in the first instance provisionally repelled in the Conference, in demanding all the while new instructions from St. Petersburg. This system might equaliy cambine with the closure .of the straits, and with the abolition of this principle. . . . Eng land would not consent in any case to open to Russian situps the way which would lead Um direct from the Kick Sea to the Mediterranean. Such is, if we are well informed, the truth of the situation which Prince Gnrtschakoff and M de Titoff have laid before their Court The last news we hare received from St. Petersburg makes us fear that the Emperor Alexander has replied by an absolute refusal to the demands of the Allied Powers. The communications of Prince Gort,chakoff and M. de Titoff have restored the confidence of the war party, who, for three months, had lost ground at St. Petersburg. Notwithstanding this party, the Emperor Nicholas had accepted, without re striction, the protocol of the 28th December, and given Prince Gottschakoff conciliatory instructions, with the faculty of making in the bosom of the Conferences at Vienna 'all such honourable concessions as might facili tate the adoption of the fir.t, second, and fourth con ditions of guarantee." The Emperor Nicholas reserved the third condi tion for more complete explanations, but with indications of a man compliant in mood, and a dis position to admit proposals of a tempering ten dency. The war party avail themselves of 'these facts and statements for the justification of their doctrines, and for securing their ascendancy over the Emperor Alexander. They say, plausibly and not unnaturally, also not without popular effect : "You see the concessions of the Emperor Nicholas do not suffice. Russia has renounced her protectorate over the Trincipalities, her rights over the Danube, her pro tectorate over the Christian subjects of the Porte, that is to say, the political and religious authority which she had acquired attet long anti sanguinary wars. It is all over with her influence over the Greek populations of Europe, who will learn that they must no longer count upon her support. What she abandons to-day without combat, in other times she would have defended to the last extremity, at the loss of her last man, and the cost of her last rouble. They exact from Rivisia the destruc tion by her own heeds of her fleet in the - Black Sea, so necessary to her repose and security. Ifs is required that she shall cease t . protect her ports and Cemineroe, se:d interdict herself the meaesof continui geMriacionsly the veer she has pursued fer so n::11.3 years in the Caucasus. The Eiiip,r .r Nu. kolas would not have tolerated even the discussion of such conditions. The Fenperor A!netedir will no N t eke4l/Ter it, rare it only from respect for the tneiiiefy of his father . . . The pile teens of peace have not remained without defence ; they 1 , - tve recal:e' the powerful c*.nsiderations which had iolltieticed the Einperior Nicholas, and deve loped w:tti ereat force those suggested by the actual state of off .. ; Rtl*la engaged elope in a terrible war sgaiest Eve :1 , • rut perhiiple •`nccess fully to be ccnelede:l.

Those 1 c.iuditions are rut hunihiat•ng, whatever may he said; they do not seriously affect the interests of Russia.

The Debats concludes that— -.JY., " Unliappify, as we are infurrned, it isdktopinion which has i.revailed, and that the riser 'nett-notions of I Prince Gortschak off prescribe to him the repu•se of every ' proposition tending to the reduction of the naval forces of Russia in the Back Sea. suade ourselves, however, that the cause of peace is not irrevocably lost, and that at the last m oment fresh efforts will be made which shall not has been remarked that as yet no ultimatum bam o pfr remitted, and that the most recent cleclarati n o:s ale cr: by OM e eon perhaps be fruitless._ •_i_ allied powers present to Russia more than 1 da and the Itive.
