PARIS, Monday, July 10 1854.
Some curious and important intelligence will 60 Off
cially 10 Washington by the steamer Indians, which
leaves HayTe on Sunday next for New York. This in
teigence relates to new movements which Russia Is
about to make, and to some important propositions
which she desires brought TO the attention of the
American Government. These propositions are en-
tirely neutral, regards the present war being
questions that might be considered in time of peace
well as now. A gentleman formerly resident in the
United States late Conseer de Cour Of the Emperor
of Russia has left his position the perssn Of the
Grand Duke Constantine, to go Washington tempo
rarily as special messenger to the United States
Government.
The strong sympathy, amounting even 10 love, which
the Court of Russia maniiests towari the United
States at this moment opens the way for negotiations
with that power on matters disconnected with the
war, which may never occur again Russia desires
American sympathy she has need of American money,
and SO strong hatred has lately sprung up against
England, that she will sacrifice much of her personal
interests to rrtate that power, and to cripple her
American soil.
There is without doubt, therefore, proposition
its way TO Washington having in view the cessiOn of
important territory to the United States for money
consideration, well as propositions for the promo
tioR and extension of commercial relations between
the two countries. Russia is making preparations
for ten years war, on q scale of magnitude which
must more o. less cripple her finances nOtwithstand
ing her extraordinary resources ard money friend
such as America will be almost indispensable TO her
! The crisis through which she will have to pass will
compel her to make any sacrifice almost which may
be demanded TO such frit nd; and if she can
by ceding territory secure sympathy and money and
at the same time thrust thorn into the side Of Eng
land, she will readily do it.
/ We live here in an atmosphere of pre- udices and
hatred against Russia she is surrounded BY nations
who have the greatest interest in concealing facts
about her and consequently allow no intelligence to
pass their borders which has not received their visa
and notifications that it is only by the occasional
arrival of an unpreudiced person from st. Petersburg
that any correct knowledge be had of the state OF
affairs in that capital There always two sides to
story, and justice suffers by knowing them
both. The gentleman who has just arrived as
bearer of dispatches TO the United States, has had
raordnsry opportunities counselor and confdant OF
the Court, and as member of the staff of the Grand
Duke Constantine, to become fully acquainted with
the views and intentions of the Emperor in the pres
ent contest; for unlike the Emperor of France
Nicholas speaks freely to every in his confidence
on the state of public affairs.
In long conversation have had on the subiec
with the gentleman referred to, he has furnished m,
many facts Of great n,eres. which ought TO have pub
