EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

THE TALK OF PEACE.
(PROM OM OWN 00111ISPOND111

PARIS, TIIISDAY EVENING.

The article in yesterday's i'arrie is passed over
without notice by the Paris press, and yet it con-
tained statements, which, unless they are to be set
down as more idle inventions, are of very great
im-
portance. In the first place, the Paris says that
the Austrian propositions for peace must necessarily
have been approved of by the Russian Ambassador,
before they were forwarded from Vienna. This
would be a fact of mach gravity, and I believe it has

sever bedore been averred. Then again, the propo-
sition, after having been approved of in France,
were said to be "at this moment " under considers.
Lion (for that is the true musing of the phrase
tont examinies) in England. And this was an-
nounced in terms tending to confirm the rumour
that there is a difference of opinion between the
French and English governments on the subject of
them. On the other hand, according to reports which
the Adria of this evening echoes, without appearing
to be sensible of the necessity of reconciling them
with its article of yesterday, France and England
were agreed several days ago on the subject of the
Austrian propositions ; and Count de Sevres, the news
of whose arrival at Vienna on the 6th is received to-
day, was the bearer of an answer from the two
Powers of "a nature to be received with great satis-
faction by the Austrian Cabinet." I mentioned to
you at the time when Count de Serra left Paris that
the answer of the waited Cabinets was reported to
have been forwarded by him. The news of his
arrival at Vienna constitutes the chief capital of the
pesos party today, and they have contrived to
turn it to considerable mount. It appears by
one letter that on the day after his arrival
M. de Series accompanied M. ide Bourqueney to
M. de Boors house, where they found Sir Hamilton
Serum This letter, however, only says that M.
de genes had brought " important despatchee from
Prearde—a fact which may be readily ad-
mitted without it being necessary to con-
clude that these despatches contained the
aseeptinee by France and England of a scheme for
pesos proposed by Austria, and previously sane-
dosed by Prince Oortchakoff. The peace delusion
continues to be fostered in Vienna. The last number
of the Andriaa Gamete affirms that the chances of
uses increase daily, and r rested on so solid a
roandation as at this moment. At the same time the
Gerona Jamul of Frankfort declares that all the
steels in circulation are premature, and that nothing
will be known of the intentions of Russia until
after the meeting that has been convoked of the most
military and political personages of the empire. From
all I can learn here, it appears that the Enures is
surrounded by a very strong peace party. Many of
of hie oldest and most influential friends say to him in
substance this :—" Sire, what more have you to gain
by the wart Yon have revived the prestige of year
name; you have given the French army an abundant
twat of glory; you have raised your influence in
Europe to the highest pitch; you are courted by the
great powers, and feared by the small ones ; and
yea have received the Queen of England and the
King of Sardinia as gents at the Tuileries. What
uses an you want? The continuance of the war
implies further loans—a continuance of sacriasse as
the part of all classes of society, which the people
may, perhaps, ill support, especially during the
privations which are to be seriously apprehended
is the course of the ensuing winter." To all this ad.
vies the Emperor has never yet, so far as I am in-
terned, vouchsafed any positive reply. He main-
tains the attitude of a sovereign struggling passively
with his counsellors. He cannot bat perceive that the

reasons urged upon him for making peace are vicious
in this—that no peace but one disgraceful to France
and England could be made ander present circum-
stances ; and placing the question on the l,w footing
which the arguments imputed to his friends mum.
(that merely of his own personal interesti, he has to
strike the balance between the danger to his crown
and dynasty of discontent occasioned by the bonbons
of war, and that indignation which would certainly
be provoked by • dishonourable peace, at the same
time that the attention of the people being no longer
distracted by the stimulus of the war, they would in
all likelihood busy themselves more than they do at
present about their domestic government.
There are rumours of new taxes being now under
the consideration of the Council of State. Amongst
others, there is, it is said, to be a further tax on rail-
ways, and an incomes in the tobacco duties.
The Bourse opened very heavily indeed, and it
was feared that we were going to see a panic. But
the Rente, after opening at 64fr., suddenly sprung'
up to 64k. 60c rand maintained very nearly that
price throughout the day, closing at 64fr. 60c., with
a rise of 40c. Credit Mobilier rose 12tr. 600. The
railway market was lees firm. Lyons and Mediter-
ranean fell 16k. In other lines there was but slight
variation.
