THE WAR IN THE EAST.

( From the Press of this day.)
His Highness Prince Metternich, at the special
and personal request of his Imperial Majesty the
Emperor of Austria, has embodied in a State paper
his view of the arrangements which, iu the present
condition of affairs, may conduce to " a just and
honourable peace."
\\Te have reason to believe that these views have
been communicated, although not officially, to the
Earl of Aberdeen; and that little doubt prevails,
from previous communications that have taken
place, that they will be substantially adopted by
the English Minister.

The prospects of a speedy termination of hostilities
are very favourable.
