A service of plate was presented to Mr. Buckstone on New
Year's-day by every person engaged at the Haymarket
Theatre. It was the 665th night of the season, the theatre
having been only closed on nights prescribed by law since
Mr. Buckstone's management. The present was accom-
panied by a very handsome letter from Mr. Chippendale on
the part of the company, which elicited a cordial response
from the gratified lessee.
The Daily Hews says :—We are informed that the
Russian answer contains the Emperor's distinct refusal
to surrender any portion of the territory of the empire
which he has inherited the duty of defending. It is
declared that the successes of the allies do not justify
them in demanding this, as they do, in asking a rectifi-
cation of the frontier. On the one hand the Allies, and
on the other Russia, have gained advantages which
qualify both sides to make concessions. The Austrian
government, we are assured, will not maintain Count
Esterhazy at St. Petersburg beyond the term fixed for
the acceptance or rejection of the bases of peace, viz:,
Friday, the 18th instant.
BERLIN, SUNDAY.—The reply to the proposals of
which Count Esterhazy was the bearer, addressed
from St. Petersburg to Vienna accepts in principle
those proposals. The Imperial Cabinet of Russia
does not introduce therein any modification of signifi.
cance. It refuses the territorial cession demandd in
Bessarabia. It consents to the exchanges of the terri-
tories respectively occupied by the belligerents.
Count Buol has rejected the counter-propositions of
the Imperial Cabinet of Russia without discussion. At
the same time that he made Prince Gortschakoff aware
of a probable speedy rupture of diplomatic relations
between the Courts of Russia and of Austria, Count
Buol n itified to the Cabinets of Paris and London that
Austria would not take the field this year !—Le Hord.
The Times in a review of the state of things presented
by the Russian reply and counter-propositions terminated
its article with the following observations :—We are
now in a position to make a peace tolerably satisfactory
to ourselves, but most injurious to Austria and Scandi-
navia. We have the power, and the right, to stipulate
that, if we reject this tempting offer we shall be sup-
ported heartily in the ensuing war by those powers to
whose interests a peace so obtained would be fatal. The
turn affairs have taken makes us, if we so please it,
masters of the position. We must either make war, with
Austria and Scandinavia to back us, or make peace without
them. Any other method of settling the question
would be to forego a manifest advantage. Russia meant,
undoubtedly, to sever us from our Allies, but she has
given us the opportunity of uniting the alliance more.
closely than ever, by using the proposal she has made
to us with a view of promoting disunion and discord, as
a means of enforcing the most entire unity of action, ,
under penalties of isolation and dftngcr,
