LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING.
Last price of Consols yesterday, 88.-1- A general absence
of business and an extraordinary demand for money at the

Bank and elsewhere, and lower prices Srom Paris, were the
principal causes of the prevailing stillness. New settlements
flied for February 11th and Consols closed for that period
at 881.

The whole of the £416,000 in gold, brought by the Donald
kilay, is understood to have been purchased for transmission
to the Bank of France.

THE WAR.

NEGOCIATIONS FOR PEACE.

Count Nesselrode has addressed a circular note to the
envoys of Russia at the chief foreign courts, dated St. Peters-
burg, Dec. 22. It states that the Emperor accepts the third
point in the following sense :—That the principal of the right
of Turkey to close the Straits be maintained ; that no warlike
nag be admitted to the Black Sea save those of the naval
forces of Turkey and Russia. The amount to be such as those
two powers may think proper by a common understanding,
without any ostensible participation of the other powers.

The Czar has ordered a fresh appeal to be issued summon•
ing the peasants of the crown domains to form fresh regiments
of sharpshooters to defend holy Russia against the enemies of
the orthodox faith.

A new coinage of copper to the amount of three millions of
silver roubles is ordered.

The Minister of War has advertised for tenders for the
supply of 130 complete mortar carriages and fittings for an
Immense number of others. All are to be delivered early in
the spring. 6,280 cwts. of ordnance are to be delivered at
Archangel.
The arsenal of St. Petersburg is ready to contract for the
delivery of 200,000 lbs. of lead. Similar advertisements ap-
pear daily in the Gazette.
