right divisions of the Allied armies were kept under

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING

The Russian circles in this city are greatly
exasperated at the tone of Lord Palmerston's
speech, as it is not so favourable to peace as they
expected. In obedience to orders from Russia,
these circles are doing all they can to secure peace,
and to make the public believe that peace is not
only desirable but inevitable. The great object of
the Russians at this moment is to create a separa-
tion between England and France, and the
means they employ to effect their purpose
would astonish honest John Bull, if he knew
them ; even members of the Imperial family of
France second their schemes. To effect this
separation, nothing can be so favourable to them
as peace, and therefore, it is, that their govern-
ment is probably sincere in its expressed intention
to accept the Austrian propositions with perfect
sincerity. The political parties in France, who
support Russia, are also anxious to see the Empe-
ror embroiled with England, as they think it
would be the best thing in the world to facilitate
his overthrow.

Amongst the rumours of the day, is one to the
effect that, in the event of peace being concluded,
Russia will be required to enter into liberal coin"
mercial treaties with all the Allies.
Preparations have already been commenced in
the hotel of the Russian Embassy in the Faubourg
St. Honore for the reception of the Russian nego-
ciators, Count Orloff and Baron Brunow. Since
the war commenced the Embassy has been closed.

A telegraphic despatch from Vienna says that
Prince Gortschakoff, the Russian Ambassador
had demanded the admission of Prussia to the
approaching conferences, and that the Austrian
cabinet had consented, but that the English and
French ambassadors had left it to their govern-
ments to reply.
By the Indus we have received letters from
Constantinople to the 24th ult. They give no
aecouut of the effect produced on the allied armies
by the unexpected prospect of peace, the
e ph being so much out of order
ttltl:gratcommunications with the Crimea were
delayed. At Constantinople and in different
parts of Turkey the astonishment caused by the
submission of Russia continued. The conferences
relative to the Christian populations had terminated
—those on the Danubian principalities were about
to he re-opened. The Ambassador of Sardinia was
about to leave, having been recalled by his govern.
ment, and he was to be replaced by a charge
fratraires. The cause of his recall was not
publicly stated, but it was no doubt the
refusal to allow him to take part in the Con-
ferences on the Principalities. New disorders
had been committed by the Bashi Bazouks,
at Schoumla. The French Ambassador at Teheran
was endeavouring to arrange the affair of Mr.
Murray.

The Archbishop of Paris has notified to the
faithful, that they will be allowed to abstain from
the customary vigorous fasting in Lent, providing
they deposit in his hands a certain sum, as alms
for the poor. This measure has given rise to
many sarcastic observations, as it is considered a
bartering of the ordinances of the church for
money.

On (lit that Q,ieen Victoria has strongly recom-
mended the Empress to employ chloroform in an
approaching delicate event, and has offered the
serviees of her special attendant to administer it.
The physicians of thp Empress, however, do not
approve of the recommendation.
