Powers to assist actively in maintaining Austria and

utter contempt and disregard OF the principle, to
assert which the Western Powers have armed In the
cause of Turkey. Neutrality is AZ that France and
England have to look for at the hands OF Austria
and Prussia-a hollow and insincere neutrality.
The two great powers Of Central Europe are still
obviously arching for the of averting too
great humiliation" from Russia. The task OF
check mating the Russian government In Its unscrn
pulousy ambitious game must be completed, as 1t
has been begun, by France and England.
It Is in vain to expect that Russia will spontane

The whole external commerce OF Russia Is already
paralyzed, its whole internal traffic Is disor

of obtaining relief they have any conception OF.
The Russian armies will not retreat from the Da-

ought they to be allowed to rest simply In conse-

Gar demanded material guarantee" that Turkey
would yield to his unjust demands, 30 the allies
ought to exact material guarantee that he will not
renew them. That guarantee can only be obtained
by capturing or destroying his fleets and dismant-
ling his seaboard forts. II this be done eectually,

his losses; and that time has elapsed, the pro-

new domestic employment for all future Cars.
HISTORY OF THE NEW PEACE NEGOTIA-
TIONS.
berlin NAV 23) Correspondence Of the Lond,n Tines
About two or three weeks back mentioned in
one of my letters the reply that had been made In
St. Petersburg to one of Prussias well-meant over
tures. Prussia had about the middle Of last month,
in pursuance Of the pacific and mediative mission
to which, according to the opinion of two or three
persons in the country she ID called represented in
st. Petersburg that now that the Porte showed
every willingness to remove every ground Of Euro
subjects, and to secure the continuation OF this
course by O more or less distinctly pronounced
proectorate of the European powers the real subject
matter constituting the cause of war fell TO the
ground; she therefore, mindful of the blessings
reserved for peacemakers called the Gar to state
what terms he was willing to commence evacu-.
ating the Danubian Principaites with reference to
n final peace. There was some amount Of fencing to
ward of this confoundedly friendly thrust, but 1t
resulted in the Cars giving his br0therin-law to
understand that "ths was not time for him to COM
mence fresh negotiations for peace; that any such
attempt on his part would only induce the Western
Powers to raise their terms;" and that therefore he
was unable or unwilling to forward any programme
according to which the Guardian Angel of Peace"
might present the olive branch to the rest of Eu-
rope. This answer appears to have gone great
way towards bringing the two or three persons in
Prussia above alluded to to the same conclusion
that the rest of Europe had already arrived
at-namely, that the Emperor of Russia did
not desire an honest peace fair. terms, and was
laughing in his sleeve to see crowned head doing
so well the work for him that his own diplomatic
servants were no longer in position to do. Suisse
quenty to the ratification of the treaty with Austria
certain suggestions had been made by Count Nesse-
rode to the Prussian Cabinet, (arising out of the
feeling, apparently, that the chestnuts were now
getting burnt,) which have called forth very
sharp note from here, under date Of the 9TH inst,
in which Prussia declines to be the advocate or
bearer of any more Russo-pacifc proposals. You
will now be at no loss to understand how 1t is that
Baron Werther, who has been recalled from Co
penhagen and appointed to st. Petersburg for
nearly month has not vet set of for his post and
has taken house for his wife and family here.
In addition to the above reply, couched in no
very conciliatory tone, am given to understand
that by the same opportunity very thigh" displea
sure has been expressed at phrase used by Count
Nesselrode occasion of this last note in which he
speaks of Prusslas neutrality being seibstverstdnd
Hch. tune chose qti dye-a matter Of course,
thing about which there can be no question.)
The term Russian nsoence" has been quoted
{ me as having been applied in high places to
this last exhibition Of Russian modesty and conside-
rateness. 1t is to this episode that we are indebted
in great part for the GrecoBavarian mission Of the
Greek Minister Schinas and the Legationsrath
Doenniges having hitherto produced no mschievous
The formerlef last night for Frank
fort and the latter will leave in day or two. Gen.
Werder the commander of the first arr,ee corps,
stationed at Konigsberg, was summoned hither by
telegraph last Saturday. The impression is that he
is the first general who will have something to do.
Major General Won Prittwtz was lately on visit Of
inspection at the fortress Of Thorn, on the frontier
of Prussia and Russian Poland. The accidental
circumstance Of adjutant of Prince Paskicwitsch
being in the town at the same time caused an in
tention to be imputed to his visit the very reverse
Of the correct one.
