The London Times, in repeating what We
have already published, that the Gar has ask
ed for further information respecting the inten-
tlons OF the fleets in the Black Sea, calls it q
singular and eVasive reply. The Times further
states that the Gar has commissioned Count
Orlof to proceed to Vienna on special mis-
sion, and empowered him to state ON what
terms the Russian Government would be pre-
pared to enter into negotiations for peace.
This move is evidently intended to anticipate
the effect of the ultimatum addressed to the
Court OF st. Petersburgh by the Four Powers,
and to shift once more the basis of negotiations:
perhaps, also, to endsavor to shake as far as
possl tle, the union between the Four Powers,
Count Orlof is noblenan of the highest
rank in the Russian Empire, and enjoys the
full confidence of Nicholas. His influence is
believed to have hitherto bsen directed towards
moderate measures. Further accounts state
that he is accredited not only to Vienna, but to
Berlin, Paris and London This special rais-
sion would enable the Car to back out Of the
dilemma he il in, without too much vound;ne
his feelings. Nicholas is said to be in 90 strons

the presence Of the combined feots in the
Euflns. The Emperor Of Russia is forbearine
enough not to consider it as cause for war,
and he believes, or affects to believe, that the
English and French fleets have only Quilted
their anchorage in the Bosphorus, not by way
OF menace, but to act as mediators between the
Russian and Turkish nayies. A delicate allu-
sion is made to the g affair IS at Sinope.
