—a—
interea—The great fact he news from Paris is the
- ----Emperor Napoleon's letter to the Czar, which we have
given below. The Moniteur does me, notice the state-
ment that a telegraphic despatch had been received from
General Castelbajac, anticipating the whole purport of his
reply in one line of point-blank refusal to entertain any
terms whatever. There is a report that the Emperor of
Busgia, read the Emperor Napoleon's letter with great
calmness, and declared himself to be quite as anxious for
peace, but -added, that to accept the proposition made to
him would be a vaerifrce of his digniV. There is another
rumour that the Czar accompanied his refusal of the pro-
positions with great personal discourtesy to General
Castelbajac. A third account says that the letter was not
despatched from Vienna till the 9th of-the present month,
when 'Count Orloff took -charge of -it-; and that it must
have appeared in the Moniteur before it got into the
quids of the Oxar

I.OOLS NAPOLLoN,s LETTER, TO THE EMTEROB NICHOLAS.
"Palace of the Tuileries, Jan. 29, 1854.

"STRE,--The difference which has arisen between your
Majesty and the Ottoman Porte has assumed such a grave
asspect, that I think it right myself to explain directly to your
majesty the part which France has taken in this question,
said the means which suggest themselves to me in order to
avoid the dangers which menace the tranquillity of Europe.
" The note which your Majesty has just sent to my
government and to that of Queen. Victoria endeavours to
prove that it was the system of pressure adopted from the
commencement by the two maritime powers which alone
involved the question in bitterness. On the contrary,
according to my view, the matter would have continued
a Cabinet question if the occupation of the two Princi-
palities had not suddenly transferred it from the region
of discussion to that of fact. Nevertheless, although your
Majesty's troops had entered Wallachia, we advised the
Porte not to consider that occupation as a warlike act,
thus proving our extreme desire for conciliation. After I
had consulted with England, Austria, and Prussia, I pro-
posed to your Majesty a-note, designed to give satisfaction
to all. Your Majesty accepted it. We had hardly, how-
ever, been informed of this good news when •your minister,
by explanatory commentaries, destroyed .all the conci-
liatory effects of it, and thus prevented us from insisting
at Constantinople upon its pure and simple adoption.
The Porte, for its own part, suggested some modifications
sn the note, to which the representatives of the Four
Powers at Vienna were not indisposed to agree. They
were not, however, agreed to by your Majesty. It was•
then that the Porte, wounded in its dignity, its inde-
pendence threatened, and being compelled to raise an
army to dpposs that of your Majesty, preferred to declare
war rather than remain in a state of uncertainty and
humility. The Porte had claimed .our support; theeause
of the Porte appeared to us to be a just one, and the
English and French squadrons were therefore ordered to
the Bosphorus.
" Our attitude in reference to Turkey was that of a
protector, but it was passive. We did not incite her to
war. We unceasingly addressed to the ears of the Sultan
the advice of peace and moderation, persuaded that this
was the best mode of coming to an agreement, and the
Four Powers consulted together again, and submitted to
your Majesty some other propositions. Your Majesty, on
your part, exhibited the calmness which arises from the
consciousness of strength, contented yourself with repuls-
ing from the left bank of the Danube, as in Asia, the
attacks of the Turks ; and, with the moderation worthy
of the chief of a great empire, your Majesty declared that
you would act on the defensive. Up to that period, then,
we were, I may say, interested spectators, but simply
spectators, of the dispute, when the affair of Sinope com-
pelled us to take a more decisive part. France and Eng-
land had not thought it necessary to send troops to the
assistance of Turkey. Their flag, therefore, was not en-
gaged in the conflicts which took place upon land. But
at sea it was very different. There were at the entrance
to the Bosphorus 3,000 guns, the existence of which
proclaimed loudly enough to Turkey that the two
leading powers would not allow her to be attacked
by sea. The affair at Sinope was for us as painful
as it was unexpected ; for it matters little to us whether
er not the Turks wished to convey munitions of war to the
Russian territory. In fact, Russian ships attacked Tur-
kish vessels in the waters of Turkey, while those vessels
were riding quietly at anchor in a Turkish port. The
Turkish vessels were destroyed, in spite of the assurance
that there was no wish to commence an aggressive war,
and in spite of the vicinity of our squadrons. It was no
longer our policy which received a check—it was our mili-
tary honour. The sound of the cannon-shot at Sinope re-
'reverberated painfully in the hearts of all those who in
England and in France respect national dignity. There
was a general participation in the sentiment that wherever
our cannon can reach our allies ought to he respected. Out
of this feeling arose the order given to our squadrons to
enter the Black Sea, and to prevent, by force if necessary,
the recurrence of a similar event. Thence arose the col-
lective notification sent to the cabinet of St. Petersburg,
announcing that if we prevented the Turks from making
an aggressive war upon the coasts of Russia, we would also
protect the Turks upon their own territory. As to the
Russian fleet, in prohibiting its navigation of the Black
lea, we placed it upon a different condition, because it
was important, during the war, to preserve a guarantee
-equivalent in force to the occupation of the Turkish terri-
tory, and thus facilitate the conclusion of peace by having
the power of making a desirable exchange.
" Such, sire, is the real result and a statement of the
facts. It is clear that, having arrived at this point, they
must either bring about a definitive understanding or a
decided rupture.
" Your Majesty has given so many proofs of your soli-
citude for the tranquillity of Europe, and by your benefi-
cent influence has so powerfully arrested the spirit of
disorder, that I cannot doubt as to the course you will
take in the alternative which presents itself to your
.notice. Should your Majesty be as desirous as myself of
a pacific conclusion, what would be more simple than to
vdeclare that an armistice shall now be signed, that things
shall resume their diplomatic course, that all hostilities
shall cease, and that the belligerent forces shall return
-from the places to which motives of war have led them P
" Thus the Russian troops would abandon the Princi-
palities, and our squadrons the Black Sea. Your Majesty,
-preferring to treat directly with Turkey, might appoint an
2unbassador, who would negotiate with a plenipotentiary.
of the Sultan a convention which might be submitted to a
conference of the four powers. Let your Majesty adopt
this plan, upon which the Queen of England and myself
are perfectly agreed, and tranquillity still be re-established
and the world satisfied. There is nothing in the plan
which is unworthy of your Majesty—nothing which can
wound your honour ; but if, from a motive difficult to
understand, your Majesty should refuse this proposal,
then France, as well as England, will be compelled to
leave to the fate of arms and the chances of war that which
might now be decided by reason and justice.
Let not your Majesty think that the least animosity
can enter my heart. I feel no other sentiments than those
expressed by your Majesty yourself, in your letter of the
17th of January, 1853, in which you write, ' Our relations
-ought to be sincerely amicable, based, as they are, upon
the same intentions—the maintenance of order, the love
of peace, respect of treaties, and reciprocal good feeling.'
This programme is worthy of the sovereign who traced
it ; and I do not hesitate to declare that I remain faithful
to it.

" I beg your Majesty to believe in the sincerity of my
-sentiments, and it is with these sentiments that I am,
sire, your Majesty's good friend, "NAPOLEON."
The Moniteur contains the proch verbal of the taking
-possession of New Caledonia, Ole island in the South
Pacific, in the name of the Emperor. The government
journal says :—" In virtue of the orders of the Emperor,
the Minister of Marine and Colonies directed, on the Ist
of May last, Admiral Febvrier-Despointes, commander-in-
-chief of the French naval forces in the Pacific, to proceed
to New Caledonia. The government had been long de-
airous of possessing in these distant latitudes some locali-
ties which might receive, on occasion, its penal establish-
ments. New Caledonia offered all the conditions that
were to be desired. In conformity with the instructions
sent to him, Admiral Febvrier-Despointes, after having
ascertained that the flag of no other nation floated over
New Caledonia, took solemn possession of that island and
its dependencies, including Pine Island, in the name of
Napoleon 111., Emperor of the French."

The ocean squadron is hourly expected at Toulon, on
I)oard which are 1,600 sailors, to man six ships of the line
znd the frigate Zenobie, now being fitted out at that port.
The packet from Egypt, in passing Malta, announced
that about the 31st ult., a Turkish convoy was to sail for
IBatonm, having on board 12,000 troops, and being es-
corted by a squadron of the French and English war-
steamers. The three squadrons were again to enter the
Black Sea, after having been reviewed by the Sultan.

SWEDEN.—Advices from Stockholm state that prepara-
'lions for war on a large scale are being made in the arsenal
Carlscrona. Several ships of the line, as well as frigates
sand corvettes, are being fitted out.
AllSTRlA.—Movements of troops and ammunition are
"continually going on. Several pontoon equipages were
went to Pesth on Tuesday. General Cornonini has gone
to the Turkish frontier, to inspect the corps of observation
there. A battering train of 80 guns and 6000 cwt. of
powder has been sent to the south-eastern frontier. A
despatch from Vienna, of Wednesday, gives the following
us the substance of the circular forwarded to Austrian
+diplomatic agents :—" Austria considers the armed inter-
vention of the Western Powers in Turkey extremely dan-
verous. Austria has full confidence in the loyalty and
rectitude of the Emperor Nicholas, and will take the ne-
cessary measures for securing her own frontier."

PRIISS/A.—A despatch from Frankfort, of the Bth,
'says It is reported that, at the next ;sitting of the
_Diet, communications of the highest importance will be
made on the part of Prussia and Austria. These commu-
mications, it is said, will relate to the Eastern question,
and to the attitude which these two powers have assumed
In reference to the existing difference."

RIISSIA.—On the 27th of January Emperor Nicholas
-iuldressed a letter to Prince Cholufoffhetli Hetman of the
'Don Cossacks, in which the followingi
phrases
of t -.4" In the wat which has broken outdefenceoccur :
he
'Christian faith my brave Cossacks of the Don ve given
zmew proofs of their devotion and valour. The glorious
_history of their faithful service to the Throne and country
-is well known, and I have a firm conviction that during
-the present year they will be, as they have always ben,
the terror of the foes of Russia and of the Holy Cross."
-Private letters from Sebastopol state that an English
steamer had been wcked IA Janicole, near Sebastopol on
the 30th January. She was declared a good prize, having
Turkish troops on board. Travellers from Kiew report
that the roads are covered with troops in full march.
:Russian officers told them that the army on the Danube
would soon exceed 200,000 men. Considerable reinforce-
.-inents were en route from Moscow. All the Turkish
'Consuls in Russia are about to give in their resignation.
.I\trkish subjects are placed under the protection of Aus-
1231agents, but only for six months, dating from the

The following intelligence from Constantinople, by 7

\s,

The Porte las contracted a= loan with' two bankers for
twenty millions of piastres, on account of the Servian tri-
bute. Lord de Redcliffe assisted in negotiating the same.
A letter of the 31st ult. says :—" The new Turkish convoy
intended for the coast of Asia, was ready to put to sea,
and as the weather had improved, and a south wind was
blowing, it was thought not improbable that it might de-
part the same evening. It was said that the admirals
had formed .three .great divisions of war-steamers, and
that these divisions were to cruise in succession in the
Black Sea, which was looked on as for the future forbidden
to the Russian men-of-war.

There are as yet no indications of an immediate attack
upon Kalafat, although that event is, doubtless, nor far
distant. The number of Russian troops assembled round
the place amounts to 40,000.- On the news of the Citate
action, Omer .Pacha reinforced his.troops with 13,000 men.
It is certain (says the correspondent of the Times) that
the idea prevails among the Russian soldiers that they are
on their way to the Holy Land, to rescue it from the
hands of infidels, in which flattering term are comprised
not only the Mussulmans, but the. English and French:
A Wallachian has assured .me that on the march of one
of the early corps into the Principalities, a party of soldiers
halted at a house to beg a draught of mater. After their
thirst was satisfied, they asked with great simplicity, and
with all apparent sincerity, whether they were far from
Jerusalem, for which they were on their march ; and that
they were told they would reach_ it in one or two days
more.

On the 19th Jan. the Russians attacked Chekvetil for
the sixth time. The Turks made a-sortie and completely
defeated them. The Russians lost upwards of 2,000 men.
A serious outbreak has taken place in Southern Alba-
nia, where the Christian far outnumbers the Mahommedan
population. The Turks aresaid to have lost sixty men in
a first engagement ; and it is reported that the small
Turkish garrison of Arta .is -besieged by a force of from
1,200 to 1,400 Greek insurgents. Movements are also
talked of in Thessaly, and in the mountains of Suli. The
truth is, that Russia, isolated as she -is, finds it only the
more necessary to rouse the .Greek, population into action,
in order to disguise her own views upon Constantinople
under the mask Of religion and nationality. There is now
a Russian naval force at Trieste, which, in case of war,
might have caused some annoyance to our lonian posses-
sions, were they not protected by two or three English
ships lately arrived from Malta.
The commandant of the Turkish troops has received
orders from head-quarters to take care that the irregular
expeditions of the Arnaouts across the river were put a
stop to for the sake of the inhabitants of the Principalities.
Troops continue to collect at Rutsehuk. The greater part
of the Turkish Danubian flotilla also now floats in that
port. A new battery of 36-pounders is being raised in
the fortress. General Liprandi was at Poja,na.

The Nebraska-Kansas bill still occupies the attention of
the United States Senate. Although they know that they
are strongly in the majority, some forty members having
expressed their determination to support it, the advocates'
of the measure are disposed to extend every courtesy to
the minority, by allowing them to freely express their
opinions before taking the final vote.
We are informed that no less than eleven vessels are
fitting out in different ports of Cuba for the Coast of
Africa, the object being to load and return with negroes ;
also, that seven vessels have sailed within six or eight
weeks from Baltimore, Boston, and New York, with the
direct intention of being employed as slavers.
A despatch from New Orleans announces that a fire
broke out among the steamboats at the levee on Saturday
the 4th inst., and that fifteen or twenty negroes perished
in the flames. Seven steamers, together with several
barges, were entirely destroyed, with their cargoes, con-
sisting principally of flour, cotton, and provisions. But
this loss of property, which is supposed to amount to nearly
one million of dollars, is a mere cypher when compared
with the awful destruction of human life.
The sum of ten thousand dollars was collected in Phila-

LARGE CUECIC-The Atlantic Insurance Company, of
New York, gave Captain lki`Kay a check for eighty thou-
sand dollars, on account of the Great Republic. It was
the largest sum ever paid for a loss by the company.—
Boston Transcript.
Flour is pouring into Portland from Montreal. The
Advertiser says that " by the piles on Atlantic wharf and
in the storehouses it would seem that pone hereabouts
should be in want for bread."
MARRIAGE ON A RAILROAD.—A few moments after
the express train from Boston to Albany crossed the State
line a few days since, the passengers were agreeably sur-
prised at witnessing the marriage of Mr. Wart Arnold, of
Canaan Four Corners, to Miss Mary Brazee. The cere-
mony, says the Troy Whig, was peformed by the Rev.
Mr. Shaw, and the passengers presented a purse to the
groom for the purchase of a piece of plate for the bride.
The happy couple took leave of their fellow-passengers at
the next station, and returned in the next train, with many
wishes for a happy termination of their journey.
The news from Mexico extends to the 15th ultime from
the capital, and to the 24th from Vera Cruz. The most
important point of the intelligence is the subject of the
introduction of colonists, which is being discussed in
Mexico. One of the journals of the capital announces that
a grand plan is about to be brought forward for importing
colonists from Asia, and another intimates that Germany
will probably furnish this desideratum. Santa Anna was
about to proceed to his palace of Encero, in the State of
Vera Cruz, where he was to be accompanied by two mem-
bers of his cabinet, and a military force of between two
and three Thousand men.
We have two weeks' later advices from California.
Owing to the continued drought, many of the miners were
still idle, and but little gold was coming. The steamer
Sierra Nevada, however, is reported to have brought down
about one million of dollars on freight. The markets
remained dull and depressed, in consequence of being
overstocked with goods. Flour of good brands was selling
at $ll to $l2 per barrel, only about two dollars more than
it is worth in New York.

HAITI.—We have accounts from Cape Haytien to Jan.
14. The crews of many of the vessels in port had suffered
from yellow fever, but the sickness was abating. Coffee
was coming in in large quantities, and was selling at
$ll4 a $ll2, Haytien currency, with a downward ten-
dency. At Gonaives the whole custom house force had
been " Bronsonized" by the Emperor, probably because
they could not be trusted to withstand a bribe. Hereafter,
in order to pass muster, every article in the vessel must
appear on the manifest.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, FEB. 8.
MONEY.—Exchanges are lower, and irregular in price.
First class names have been sold at 81 to 9 per cent., the
latter the outside asking rate of our leading bankers. On
Paris there has been a good demand, and large sales at
5.171 to 5.20.
CoTToN.—(From W. P. Wright's Circular.) —An
import of 108,000 bales Cotton, chiefly American, during
the week, is reported, and a further advance in bread-
stuffs and decline in the English funds, tended to increase
the desire of holders of Cotton to realise. The accounts
per Asia were construed here as being more favourable
for Cotton, and during the whole of last week a good
demand existed from exporters and home consumers, with
a daily hardening market, until at the close prices were
advanced an Ic. per lb. The Arabia's accounts, however,
received on Saturday, caused a check to business, the sales
being small on Monday and yesterday ; the advance of
last week was not only lost but the business yesterday
established a decline of 1-6th to Ic. on the quotations
given in my last. Buyers are scarce, and holders willing
sellers, the paucity of our stock of unsold Cotton alone
preventing a more serious decline. The total sales since
30th January have been 16,141 bales, of which 8,495 are
to exporters, 3,285 to home consumers, 2,190 speculators,
and 2,174 in transitu. The export during same time has
been—to Liverpool, 6,602 ; Havre, 991; Hamburg, 461;
Antwerp, 134; Bremen, 72. Total, 8,170 bales.
RECEIPTS AND CEOP.—The receipts of cotton at the
ports during the past week have :been within 7,000
bales of the corresponding week last year ; and as we
have 90,000 bales at Mobile and New Orleans by telegraph
for a week later, it seems highly probable that the maxi-
mum deficiency in receipts, as compared with last year, is
attained, or nearly so. We cannot look, however, for any
diminution of this excess sooner than the middle of
March—for, although the rivers generally in the south
and southwest are reported as navigable, and heavy
arrivals of cotton may be looked for, they cannot well
exceed the weeks of last year, as follows : Endinc, 16th
February, 112,000 bales ; 23d February, 129,000 ; 2d
March, 126,000 ; 9th March, 103,000 ; and 16th March,
112,000. But from that date we may look for a rapid
gain, as for the week ending 23d March they were only
69,000 bales ; 30th March, 79,000 ; 6th April, 72,000; 13th
April, 69,000; 20th April, 63,000; 27th April, 40,000.
It is during this period, and in May, that the decrease
will be made up. There is no change in opinion about
crop, the estimates ranging from 2,800,000 to 3,000,000
bales, perhaps more leaning to the latter figure.
The following is a statement of the movement in cotton
since the Ist September last, as compared with the pre-
vious three years :

1854. 1853. 1852. 1851.
Receipts at the Ports, 1,329,000 1,946,000 1,447,000 1,341,000
Exports to Gt. Britain, 407,000 820,000 500,000 420,000
France 137,000 139,000 178,000 182,000
If
' , other For. Ports, 91,000 128,000 .85,000 97,000
Total Exports 635,000 1,087,0,10 763,000 609,000
Stock on band 579,000 619,000 518,000 602,000

From which it will be seen that the decrease in receipts
now amounts to 617,000 bales ; the decrease in exports to
Great Britain, 413,000; France, 2,000; other foreign ports
37,000. Total decrease in exports, 452,000 bales.
BREADsTurFs.—Flour was brisker and firmer. The
day's transactions reached 19,000 bbLc.; ordinary to choice
State at 49 a 12k ; mixed to fancy Western at $9 12/ a
311; and other grades at proportionate rates, Wheat
