THE CZAR'S REPLY.

The Journal des Debats of yesterday contains
advices from St. Petersburg up to the date of the
6th. "At this date," says the Debats, " the
Imperial Chancellory, if we are correctly in-
formed, had not given its reply to the proposi-
tions brought from. Vienna by Count Esterhazy.
The despatch from Berlin, announcing that the
reply of the Russian Government had left St.
Petersburg, and was expected at Vienna on the
13th or 14th, was not, then, correct. According
to accounts of a later date, and received from
Vienna', itself, it appears that in the event of the
Russi In Cabinet not making known its reply by
the Bth, the term of the first delay, Count Ester-
hazy would renew his demand, granting a fresh
delay of ten days. However, there is nothing to
warrant us in the belief that Russia will wait for
the e Kpiration of the second delay before she ex-
plain s herself."

Other accounts, however, received through
Vienna, state absolutely that the Czar's answer
did I cave St. Petersburg on the Bth, as the tele-
graph has reported. It is addressed directly to
Prince Gortschakoff, the Russian Government not
chooking, apparently, to make the Austrian Mi-
niste r the medium of its communication.

FRANCE
PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.

There was no Council of War to-day. It was
proposed that some of the members should accom-
pany the Emperor on a sporting excursion, but
owin 0- to the state of the weather the idea was
abanloned.

A Private telegraphic despatch received here last
nigh; announces thatM. See bach had left St. Peters-
burg on his return to Dresden, and no doubt 'to
Pari s. Sufficient has been said on the subject of
his j,)urney to St. Petersburg to render his move-
menfm of interest ; but beyond. the fact of his
havi rig left the Russian capital on Monday evening
last nothing has transpired.
Or,. the answer Russia has given to the Austrian
prop ositions speculation is rife. A person in a high
official position is said to have positively stated this
day that, contrary to the general expectation,
Rus, sia and the Allies were nearer coming to an
unchirstanding than was generally supposed.
TI se following telegraphic despatches have been
received here to-day
