THE RUMOURS OF PEACE.
View OUR OWN CORNISPONDiNT)
PARIS, MONDAY EVININO.
We are pestered to-day with delusive rumours of
peace, to which the public that frequents the Bonne
lends a credulous ear. It is confidently affirmed that
the propositions, whatever they be, which the Press
of London boldly asserted the French Emperor had
transmitted to the English government, stamped
with his approval, have been returned approved of
also by Lord Palmerston's ministry. The knotty Third
Paint is said to be resolved by the simple expedient
st declaring the Black Sea by treaty to be
open only to commercial vessels of all nations. and
therefore the Bourse people say it will not matter
how mars; ships of war the Czar may have at Nioo-
lai.ff, because the treaty—that is, a piece of paper—
will prevent him from bringing them down to the
Burins waters. On all this I have only to observe
that although it is true that negotiations for peace
are going on, and althoogt. I fully expect that
within the next few days the prospects of a
speedy settlement will be represented u rest-
ing on such plausible grounds that the ge-
neral 'public may probably be induced to believe
that peace is really at hand, the French and English
Governments know perfectly well that there is no
chance of any such result from the present pour-
porters. Ido not know what may be the precise
shape of the propositions backed by Germany to
which the Allies think it politic to pay respectful
attention ; but of this I am certain, that their fixed
resolution is, while still professing to be ready to ne-
gotiate on the basis of the Four Points, to maintain
such a position in the Black Sea for some time to
come as the Czar has not the least idea of con-
senting to.

At the Bourn there has been an extraordinary
rise. The Rents, which was exceedingly buoyant
throughout the day, closed at 67fr., with a rise of
lfr. 30c. This was for cub, which is generally
meant in France when quotations are spoken of, but
for speculative account the rise was nearly 2fr.
Credit Mobilier rose 271 r. 60c. In railways there
was comparatively little business done, and in several
lines there was a slight falL
General Canrobert arrived in Paris last night, on
hie return from his mission to Sweden and Denmark.
A Paris correspondent of the Emancipation of
Brussels affirms that the General has succeeded at
Copenhagen as well as at Stockholm, but says at the
same time that he was net instructed to ask so much
from the King of Denmark as from the King of
Sweden.

A despatch of this day's date from Marseilles, Mahal

and Alger, vessels of the line, and the steam corvette

Guard. This morning the body of Admiral Benet
will be landed with the usual ceremony, and be after-
wards conveyed to Marseilles and Paris.
The anstitestionnel announces that the Bing of
bardinia will leave London on Thursday, and will
