EVE NINC

The Congress has again held a sitting to-day.
I have heard to-day, from the same high source
from which I obtained the interesting details sent
you some days back, that the last two sittings of
the Congress, and especially the last one (that is
that held the day before yesterday), have taken a
much more favourable tournure, than those of last
week. It is said, even, that Russia has given way
on the Nicolaieff question, and that she is much
less firm than she was about the frontiers of
Bessarabia. In short, lam told that " peace has
become not only possible, but probable."
From another source to which, however, I do
not attach the same importance, I have heard
that Russia has consented to give up Kars without
any other "recompense" than the abandonment of
all claim to a war indemnity by Turkey. I have also
heard that Count Orloff has demanded, that in
consequence of the armistice, the preparations for
the destruction of the Russian forts and vessels at
Sebastopol, shall be suspended, and that this has
been consented to by the Allies.
By the Muniteur, forwarded this morning as
usual, you will have already seen that the French
government announces, officially, that the news of
the armistice reached the Crimea on the 28th ult.,
and that the next day arrangements were come to
between the Allies and the Russians, for a com-
plete suspension of hostilities.
At this moment I am told that all the great dig-
nitaries of the court are assembled at the Tuileries
in full uniform, in the expectation that the aecouelte-
meat of the Empress may take place this evening.
Prince Jerome, the Emperor's uncle, gave a
grand dinner to the Russian plenipotentiaries,

Count Orloff and Baron Brunow, and he wore on
the occasion the decorations of the order of St.
Andrew of Russia, which were given him so far
back as 1807, by Alexander I.
M. Villemain, one of the great literary celebrities

of France, and an ex-minister to boot, has pub-
lished an eloquent biography of Fox, in the course
of which he more than once manifests his love of

liberty.

Two editors of the Figaro were yesterday sen-
tenced to a fortnight imprisonment, and £2O fine
each, and to £lO damages for having libelled the
well known theatrical critic, Jules Janin.

The German papers revive the story of Marshal
Pelissier having been summoned to Paris. One of
them says, the English Government has demanded
that its troops shall be allowed to occupy Varna,
Gallipoli, and the Isle of Candia for an indefinite
period, in order to see the execution of the reforms
promised to the Christians.
