ST. PETERSBURG, DEC. 23.

General Mouravieff, in ordering the garrison
of Kars to file off before him, dispensed with
the English taking part in that movement. Omer
Pacha, on hearing that Prince Bagration had re-
ceived reinforcements, hastily re-crossed the In-
gour, and fell back on Soukhum Kale.

BERLIN, DEC. 24.

Our latest accounts from the Russian capital

are not favourable to the success of the attempts

at negotiation.

It is hoped the representations that will be
made by M. de Fonton of the feeling of the Ger-
man Courts will modify the present feeling of the

Czar's Cabinet.

It is considered that th© treaty with Sweden

would not have been published if much was ex-

petted from the propositions of which Count
Esterhazy is the bearer. The publication of it
at the present time will but exasperate Russia.

We learn from Vienna that a portion of the
Sardinian Contingent is expected to join the
French army destined to act on the Baltic coasts

next spring.

The main body of the English army, it is re-
ported there, is to co-operate with Omer Pacha to
drive the Russians out of Georgia.

The Presse says, in its weekly commercial re-
view The fears which have been entertained
of the results of the measures taken by the Bank
of France within the last two months are gradually
disappearing. Trade is far from active, but so
much caution has been exercised that the aggre-
gate of bills payable at the end of December will
not be formidable.
Early this morning a rapid thaw set in. The
streets are muddy, and there is a soft southern
breeze. The thermometer, which only twenty-four
hours since was 11 degrees below zero, was at noon
to-day 3 degrees above. There is a great deal of
illness consequent upon these violent oscillations of
temperature.
