LONDON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1856.

Consols rise. Austria continues to disarm on
the Russian frontier, withdrawing pontoons and
siege trains, and selling cavalry horses. • Prince
CONSTANTINE has added his vote for peace. The
Northern Bee, the. Court.journal of Russia, pre-
mises tenfold wealth to her in five years' time,
through pace and new railroads. 1-4Nord
p roves, biographically, that the plenipotentiaries
of Russia are the men to make peace. The ilfo-
niteur and M. BILLATJLT set the Senate of France
to the long and pacific task of studying the annual
volumes of reports from the provinces as the
basis of suggestions for works of public utility.
The English Cabinet keeps our Parliament to its
work, giving them valuable measures at once,
and so pressing them on that it will be hard to
interpolate a war debate of any importance.
From Vienna, lastly, we are told that Russia is
far mote exhausted than ia-,gonerally supposed,
And that after a third campaign the Allies would
certainly have made very different conditions' of
peace. Surely the political atmosphere is rosy
with the coming peace. One little cloud is visible
in the Baltic offing—the unwillingness of
corn merchants to insert in agreements ;for a
Spring delivery of corn a proviso cancelling the
agreement should the War be renewed.
• Far more Pree.napt however, with uncertainty
(i
is the ineradicable knavery of the nation we have
to do with. Russia is a nation of TALLETRANDS
in posse, and is served by a staff of diplomatic
TA.LLEYILA.Nng in we. Distressed as we believe
her to bo, her cunning, as at Vienna last year,
may (Ivommch itself. She may expect to gain
more th 3:ia even her " magnanimous " opponents
will concede ; and, intending only to overreach,
she may be forced again into the fight. We do
not think this likely, but we are confident it is
quite possible. Two facts are unquestionable—
one, that she is vigorously strengthening her
Baltic and Polish defences, notwithstanding the
witioxaeral of the Austrian troops from that quar-
ter ; anotl ter, that she has so availed herself of the
open weal) er in the Baltic that already at Libau
import& bel ;in to be a drug, and that a blockade to
