They are to be delivered early in the spring. 5,280 cwt

The arsenals of this port are ready to contract for the
delivery of 200,000 lbs. of Russian lead.

The news from St. Petersburg mainly consists
of accounts of renewed preparations for wa

Emperor has commanded 'Count Peroffsky, Min-
ister of Appanages, to issue a fresh proclination
to the peasants of the Crown domains, calling on
them to raise a second corps of Sharpshooters, to
bear the name of the Itnperial family, and defend
Holy Russia against the enemies of the orthodox
faith.

The government has ordered a commutation of
the robat (compulsory services of the peasants on
the lord's demesne, payments in kind, &c ), ter-
minable in three years. We also learn from St
Petersburg that an Imperial ukase orders a new
coinage of copper to the amount of three millions
of silver roubles, to be commenced as soon as the
issue previously ordered shall have been corn-
Dieted.

PRUSSIA

From Berlin, under date of the 31st ultimo, we
learn that the Swedish arsensals and military
establishments are actively employed in the prepa
ration of every kind of warlike material. The

finances have been managed with such economy,
that the governMent has several millions of thalers
in hand, all of which are to be devoted to
fully equipping the army and navy. The
intention of the Emperor of Russia to eman-
cipate the serfs, is set afloat to enlist the
sympathies of Europe. On the contrary, some
ameliorations introduced by the Emperor Nicholas
have been abrogated by the present Czar as a sop
to the nobility. The publication of the Austrian
Concordat with the Pope is prohibited in Russia
and Poland. Both the Greeks and Catholics in
Russia would be discontented with the compara-
tive position of their respective Churches. •

The news that reached here some little time
back of an improvement in the health of Prince
Paskewitsch turns out to have heed either un-
founded or illusory; he is stated now to be getting
worse and worse ; all hopes of his eventual recovery
are now given up, but it is believed he may linger
yet for several months. At the time of Count
Esterhazy's passing through Warsaw (21st) and
calling upon him, he was able to leave his bed and
receive the Austrian visitor seated in an aim chair.

AUSTRIA

Advices dated Vienna, announce that Count
George Esterhazy has communicated to the King
of Prussia the propositions which, on the 17th
ult., were forwarded to St. Petersburg ; and Col.
Manteuffel, his Majesty's confidential agent,
has received instructions to communicate to this
court his royal master's intentions. It was not
likely that Prussia would openly express her dis
approval of the conditions made, but it will pro_
bably be seen that she will offer to make conees.

sion to Austria, if the latter will promise to en-
deavour to procure more favorable terms for
Russia. It is believed here that Baron Manteuffel,
having taken alarm at the energy recently displayed
by Bavaria and Saxony, considers it necessary to
take a step in advance, in order that Prussia may
not be completely isolated. We are in total igno-
rance of what is doing in Saxony, but it is evident
that something unusual_ is going on, as Baron

Konneritz, the

xon Minister at this Court, has,

in obedience to orders received by electric tele-
graph, gone to Dresden.

The follow

proposals" which
re the Cabinet of
lescribed to be the "

tents of

is to lay

of a perfect and

standing. between the Western Powers and Austria,
botth with regard to the tenour of the conditions of
peace which are to provide the necessary guaran-
tees, and to the common action of the Allies in
case of their being rejected." •
The proposals contain :
".1. The relinquishment of the Russian Protec-
torate over the Danubian Principalities and the
conditions essential to a securing of a new order
of things there. This difficult point, which is
already in process of being carried out, is drawn
up so decisively and clearly, that in case of its
acceptance every prejudicial influence on the part
of. Russia on the deliberations as to the regula•
tion of the affairs of the Principalities is exclu-
ded at once. Russia is required simply to give
her assent to the arrangements about to be made,
without participating in any deliberation or any
resolution on the subject.

" 2. Cession of a portion of Bessarabia, to such
an extent that Russia would be not only removed
from the delta of the Danube, but would have to
give up her entire position on that river. The
geographical line for the future Russian frontier is
traced -on a map appended to the papers, and
according to that the Russian frontier would -be
considerably thrust back. _ _

"3. Neutralisation of the Black Sea, without
any Russian fortresses and arsenals on its coasts ;
at the mouths of the Danube, however, there is to
be a station for vessels of war of small burden, for
the purposes of marine police.
"4. Common protection of the Christian sub-
jects of the Porte

" All the above points have been prmosed by
kustria ; the following have been added by the
Western Powers :—Admission of, Consuls into the
harbours of the Black Sea, and an undertaking on
the part of Russia never for the future to erect any
fortifications on the Aland Isles. The term
allowed to Russia by Count Esterhazy, who was
expected to arrive in S. Petersburg by the 24th or
25th, is very short, and in ten days the decision
must be made. Should the proposals be rejected,
the immediate breaking off of diplomatic relations
between Russia and Austria would ensue."
The negociations between Baron Bruck and the
Credit and Commercial Bank in reference to the
Italian railroads have already begun. The com-
pany will, not only have the Lombardo-Venetian,
but also the Central Italian, railroad
