The news appears to be of decidedly
more pacific character than that received
by the America The three days since

Neither France or England have yet
lost all hopes of arriving at a pcaceable

Governments announce that the Cabinets
of Vienna and Berlin are equally eager i'll
their negotiations for peace.
An armistico between the opposing
powers has been concluded, although ru-
mors were current of the Turks having
crossed the Danube and commenced hos
tilities. The number stated as having
crossed is $4,000. The Austrian papers
contradict the report of an engagement on
the Danube as brought by the steamer
America, and til ,graphed from Halifax.
Previous to the receipt of intelligence
that the Turks had crossed the Danube, it
was stated. that the Porte, at the urgent
request Of the four powers, had issued orders
postponing hostilities to the first of Novem-
