/ THE COUNT oRLoFFs MISSION
At Vienna, February 1, it was believed that the
negotiations of Count Orloff would be prolonged
several days. AT that date his visit had only had
the effect of Strengthening the position of Buol and
diminishing the influence of Count Fiquelmont
The exact tenor of the dispatches brought by oro had
not TRANSFERRED but it is known that his proposals we're
successfully and peremptory rejected by the Emperor of
Austria in person, by the Austrian Minister'S and by the
representatives, Of the Four Powers in Conference at
Vienna who have signed further protocol to that effect
Count Orlo did not however, leave Vienna on receiving
this refusal but under the plea of sickness has deferred
his departure From this circumstance it was Inferred
that the proposal he first made his final one and
that he had still power to treat on wider basis Thus
far is authentic; and the following is given
thority which entities it to credit:
Under date of Vienna, February A. o'clock p NJ
1t is teegraphed that the that the Turkish note
rejected by Russia had reached Vienna. The Russian
Cabinet has made propositions through Count Orlo,
which, in their turn have been rejected by the Vienna
Conference This despatch is probably only another
version of that which preceded it. Of date Feb 1stED
From Berlin the despatch Of February gives
count differing slightly from the above. The Emperor
NICHOLAS says has returned his to the Turkish
proposals which backed by the Vienna Conference
He declares them to be quite unsatisfactory that he will
allow of mediation between himself and Turkey; and
that if the Porte wishes to treat tmay send ambassa
dor to St. Petersburgh For any further information the
members of the Conference referred to their respec
tive Courts
From Vienna, Sunday 5th was telegraphed this des-
patch " This Government has determined to observe
independent neutrality"
The Berlin New Prussian Journal says: "We are in
. formed through a credible source in London that
courier dispatched from thence the night Of the
25h Goth January for St. Petersburgh and took with
him plan conformity recommended by France and Eng
land for the restoration of peace with the Porte 1t must
have been, in all probability the messenger whose
arrival at Berlin, February 3, caused such sensation
According to Berlin accounts, Of date Friday evening,
3d. Count Orofs proposal was that the German Powers
should draw up joint declaration of neutrality under all
circumstances. If any member of the Bund be at
tackled Russia would make cause with the rest in her de-
fence Should any territorial charges arise through war;
Russia undertakes to conclude peace without duly
sdering the interest Of the German Powers.
BY reference to the debate in the English House
of Lords, above quoted, it will be seen that Or
LoFF's mission, whatever it really was, has sig
nalIv failed The Paris Patrie saws
"The Oriental question is the Of entering new
phase which, after all, will only be the development of
the actual situation in the of the policy pursued by
the two great Western Powers. The energy and pru-
dence Of the Government at London and Paris have borne
their fruit. This mission of Count ORLoFF, which may
have been taken for symptom Of peace, and which,
the contrary only the last effort of the Russians
gain part of Europe to share in work Of spoia

Prussia. They who fondly dreamed of another treaty
