Success of Gen. Canrobert's Mission to
Sweden—Rumours of Peace.

The Paris correspondent of the Times (Second
Edition) in his letter dated yesterday says
" The intelligence which has reached me to-day,
and which I consider to proceed from a good source,
not only confirms what I mentioned. in my letter of
yesterday relative to Sweden, but is of a still more
satisfactory kind. It is affirmed i i quarters likely
to be well informed that General Canrobert has
completely realised all the hopes excited by his
mission to Stockholm ; and some, in their ardent
satisfaction, even declare that the result has sur-
passed all expecta.ron. Without going so far, I
believe it may at, lent be positively affirmed that
Sweden has engaged to adhere to the alliance of
France, England, and Sardinia ; and not only this,
but Denmark has declared that she will follow the
example of Sweden, and accept for herself the same
engagement. This is not all. I learn also that
Prussia, acting on her own spontaneous movement,
has positively made propositions of peace to Russia ;
that these propositions have been made through the
instrumentality of Count Munster, who was formerly
and fora considerable time Military Commissioner or
Plenipotentiary at the Court of Stockholm, who fol-
lowed the Czarto the Crimea to submitthem to him.
It is not said that these propositions have been
accepted or taken into serious consideration by
the Czar ; but they are described as precise and
pressing, and it is added that even should the Em-
peror refuse they will be pressed on him again and
again more energetically and without relaxation.
This resolve of Prussia is, of course, to be traced
to the panic inspired by the success of General
Canrobert's mission, the promised adhesion of
Denmark, the possibility of the occupation of
Courland by the allies, and an anticipated
rising of Poland. Her situation must be diffi-
cult indeed. The hour of danger which has
been so often predicted is at last arriving, that
danger which she might have warded off long
atlgioe Cbzyar aonf thoseindependent and dignified atti-
tude.
In case of the absolute rejection by
propositions it is not stated
what she
will do. To pretend to maintain
neutrality under such =Li i mstances is simply
absurd, and she will have C
ve no alternative but openly
to declare for Russia or for the allies. Of Austria
I have not heard a word in •
this affair ; havinc,
completed her abatement by her abject a
.
to Papal domination, she is hardly worth being
mentioned among nations
have
who have any pretension
to self-respect.

The Duchess of Grafton and the Earl of Euston have
left town for Wakefield Lodge, near Stoney Stratford.
