THE CZAR AND THE FOUR POLNTS.

The Charicari contains the following lively feu-
trevrit :
"Nesselrode!" "Sire ?" "Any news to-day ?" "No-
thing of importance, your Majesty."' Is the news of my
having accepted the four guarantees yet known ?" " Every-
where, sire. " What effect has it produced at Victims?"
"The funds have risen." "And at London?" " The
funds have ale) gone up." " And at Perim?" " Just the
"time, the funds have risen." " What say the English
papers ?" Nothing very petticular, sire." " The
Tomo l" "That it is 'textuary to wait." "And the
Morning Poser' "That no hurry must be shown in the
matter." " And the Daily NdtoS?" " That be who
lives long enough will see the end of the present
affair." "I will not conceal from you, Nesselrode,
that I was under the impression that my accepta-
tion of the four guarantees would have produced a
greater effect. and that the bait and hook would have been
more eagerly jumped at ; but these English are excessively
tough. In France, however, I have no doubt that the
matter has Wen better received. Let us speak a little of
the Preset Well,
" The Mossiteur is Aleut, your
Majesty." " Well, that is rather disquieting." " The Coos-
stitulionnel doubts." " The dens !" " The Toys hesi-
tates." " Really !" "The Sack distrusts." "You don't
say so !" The "Journal des DIM/a alone appears tolerable
satisfied." " Well, that is all right. And the Chorivors ?"
" The Chariveri, sire, I am forced to confess, does not
seem likely to place ereder.ee in the acceptation of the four
guarantees. ' " That certaiely is a very serious mat•er."
"It implies that what you are doing may be nothing whatever
but a mere trick, a stratagem, the means of lullieg people
to sleep, and producing delay in order to enable you to
carry out your plans." "80, then, Nesselrode, the effect
on the press appetite to you to be a failure." " I
really fear so, your Majesty." " And on the go-
vernmests ?" " Prussia appears quite delighted." " Ah,
very good !" " And some of the petty German states also."
"Capital! And Austria ?" " She continues assembling her
troops on the frontier." "And France?" " She is send-
ing reinforcemeets to the Crimea." "And England ?"
"'She is hard at work enlisting soldiers to reinforce her
army." " Then is that the whole of the effect produced by
the aoreptation of the ((pug u tees?" "Absolutely the
whole, sire." " Then I would, perhaps, have done better
to have sated myself the trouble of accepting; however,
everything considered, the course which I have adopted is
not so bad. The point now is to persevere, KS what does
not succeed the first day sometimes succeeds the second,
and what is not believed to-day appears to-morrow a sure
thine. You must immediately send a despatch to Prince
Gortehakoff." "Yee, Sire." "Is which you will request
him to assure the Western end Eastern Powers that I still
accept the four guarantees—that I accept them more than
ewer." "Yes, your Majesty." "Negotiations will be
opened, and no matter what any one may say, negotiations
have always a certain influence on military operations. No
matter what I gain by them, I shell still gain that much.
N'oa-oo per, Nee/Ands? " Oui, Sire."

Before' ebastopol, Dem 13, 1854.
3ly toed Ihke,—ln my despatch of the 18th of October,
reporting the opening of our Bre upon the enemy's
works, I omitted to mention the name of a highly meritori-
ous naval omeer, who had chugs of a battery in the
trenches, and rendered himself conspicuous by the manner
is which he performed the impertisot duty culled to him.,
The Alen I allude to is Captain Moorsom, whom I bog
les» now to »commend to the nodes of your Grace.
I did not know until some time afterwards that he was
.employed in the trenches on the occasion in question ; but
having now been apprised of it, I will avail myself of the
opprrtunity to rectify as error which might otherwise be
prejudicial to a most deserving officer.
I have, tte., RAGLAN.
