BRUSbELS PAPERS.

CIDNAsn. .14X. 19.
For some time Pas; it has been ohaernd that there
are frequent communications bastes the Admiralty
beret and Constantinople, whence it is inferred that ne
gociations. are on foot, which, according to some, relate
to the restoration of peace; while others think they ;re
mealy for an exchange of prisoners. The hard fate of
the Russian ptisoners.usshe islands of the sea of Mar-
more, where they are destitute of necessaries, and can
hardly permute medical assistance,' seems to have in-
duced our Government to take measures to make an
arrangement with Om Porte fnr an exchange, and it is
likely enough that the negocistions at Constantinople
may be on that &select. The Fos te, which at first would
not hear of any such proposals, though it has' only
three thousand Russian prisoners,wheiers tea thousand.
Turks are in our hands, is said to have at length ac-
ceded to the proposals of our Government, wttich were
supported by the Danish and Austtiao Aarbassa,lors,
so that the eschange w.ll probably take place sho.tly.
The Turkish prisoners who were on thr-ir way to thel
interior of the Empire, have already halted, and the
number to be exchanged will perthatsly be brought!'
hither, to he conveyed to Constantinople. The good
treatment which all the prisoners receive, in conse-
quence of the coostant attention of the Emperor, is said
to have excited in many of them a wi.h to remain in
Russia. The Government, however, does not sans
disposed to seek an increase of population, consisting of
individuals who are of little use to society, as they have
learned no profession but that of arms—have no inch
nation for agriculture or traJe of any kind. It may,
therefore, be expectedohat whea an opportunity oter•
they will be all sent horn,.

Two Turkish Star ()dicers, who were made
pri-
sopeis at Varna, r :rived here from 04essa. As,
they were Egyptians, they ir,sve been set at ithetty by,
the Emperor. and are to return to Alesandria.by way
of Trieste. These strangers wire much a•Aption by'
their ctistume. They will proceed on their anurney•
neat week. It is said they received liberal presentst
from the gmperor on being.set at liberty.

FROM THE DANUBE, J•a. IS.
The winter is half over, sad there are no signs what-
ever of the winter campaign which the Turks were to
carry on. and the difficulties have. in the mean time,
iucreased. The troops in Bessarabia, we hear, are al-
ready in motion, and prepared, at least part aches's. to
pais the Froth, and even the Danube, at the first notice,
if the Turks should attempt tither to invade the Prin-
cipalities Gr to attack the Russian; in Bulgaria, which
seems to be quite out of the question at present. For
the nest two months the navigation of the Black Sea
sill not be so safe as to ensure a supply of provision.
to Varna and the other places held by the Russians, bet
it may be presumed that they have provisions-sottish
to support the garrisons till April. Should it be Dna.
sary to send reinforcements, supplies may be sent by
land, as the ground being hard frezen in January and
February, will bear the heaviest burdens: The maga-
zines is Bessarabia are completely stored, so that, we
are informed on good authority, they could subsist an
army of 900,000 men for .eight months.—Nareasberg
