IASJERN WAR.

„ater news from the Danube, or from Asia.
c'ost's Paris correspondent states that the
:ews from Russia is to the effect that the
`ror has in a non-official communication to
'ottrts of Berlin and Vienna, stated his
ation not to agree to any proposals for
' negotiations, unless considerable con-
e were made to Russia.
Times says, in a leading article, that it can-
• eed the fact that the real obstacles to any
bh 'al result from the propositions lately
led to the Porte, lie with Russia, and are
44,,e1y to be removed The progress of the
re vast el;tent of hostilities or hostile pre-
:ba now in active progress, and the passions,
118 and national, excited by the contest,
y e::clude the idea of an armistice, and
Ildered negotiations far less practicable than
been at any previous moment. If the
ieror of Russia had desired peace he has had
e facilities to insure it, but every day brings
L
'esh evidence that he has availed himself
,v,.re▪ texts chiefly to keep in check his most
4able opponents, to curry on his own
.°f operation, and to bring the whole
.t I°n. in the spring to a more positive issue. The
„
Government has published, in the official
q)undence, prepared at Vienna, under the
iti°f the minister, a mean and drivelling article,
appearance by the Russian embassy. The
let expressly denies that ”it has assumed a
~riendly or menacing attitude towards Russiae,
ti'leclares that. " she has not in the least re-
e,ed her friendly sentiments towards her allied
;°ohr, and will not have to renounce them in
4de*" The article adds, that the " intimate
.h,`,811-iP between these two great monarchs is the
`j guarantee for the peace of the world, and for
Itiservative interests of Europe." The Times
•lalll
that the appearance of this declaration at
i-a at such a momentis an evident proof that
,b7dependent portion of the Austrian Cabinet is
te to hold its ground, and that a degree of
sb!l.lre has been applied which the enfeebled
Pre cannot resist. The ink is scarcely dry
e protocol of December 5, when the cabinet of
t ria are ready to repudiate its spirit, and to
,
the influence it might have exercised on
'l,lq- With respect to Russian intrigues in the
kt. the Times learns from good authority, that
floe
has been made in Sweden, by a
Entry
from St. Petersburg, to engage that
E,q,,try in this contest, with a view to closing the
dish ports, and eventually the Baltic itself,
last -English and French vessels. The main-
ace of neutrality and independence is of vital
rest, for Sweden and Denmark, and it is
'e
hoped that the King of Sweden

Empire are demonstrated by the Persian

article concludes by stating that that "if we
.e these facts in the scale and weigh them
net the Russian assurances that the Emperor
ready and willing to treat for peace : all such
'Orations will stand for very little, and we
et look to other modes of arriving at the
illation of this dispute. The course to
