Count Drifts mission has, | am happy

and Berlin. Why he still keeps linger-
ing at Vienna, and why the English and
French governments do not at once re-
sent the insult put upon them by the
fact of the mission ltself-for the object
is no secrets a matter to be explained
by themselves. The terms of the Rus
sian proposal. or rather counter propo-
sal, brought by Count Orliff, were. it is
understood, as follows:
First. it was demanded that Turkish
plenipotentiary should be sent either &c
the headquarters of the army Of occupa-
ton, or to 81. Petersburg, TO treat direct
ly with Russia. without seeing or ad-
vising with the Ministers of the -Four
Powers.
Secondly, the former treaties between
Russia and the Porte were TO be renew
ed.
Thirdly. Turkey was to enter into an
engagement with respect to political ref
ugees. to the effect. it is supposed, tina,
they should not henceforth be harbcred
in the Ottoman dominions.
And lastly the Gar insisted on dec.
laration from the Porte. couched in sim
liar terms to the Menchikoff ul,imatum
with reference TO the protection of the
Greek Christians.
The project was communicated to the
Conference by Count Buol. and was a,
once rejected as totally inadmissible. -
All negotiations are, therefore. brough,
to close, and there is no proba bility that
they will be renewed.
To the above may add that Coun,
Orlotf offered TO sign a treaty with Aus.
tria and Prussia. in the name of Russia
offensive and defensive. against England
and France, to send fleet to protect the
Prussian coast. &c. The young Empe.
ror Of Austria has formally declined all

Austria and Prussia have also refused tc
promise neutrality. In fact. neutralit,

act as barrier or shield against the Yves

The Var Question,

lively,
The only possible chance of peace is
an entire change of tactics on the part OF
Russia. Bnglsnd and France are appa-
rently acting not only vigorously, but
earnestly. The sketch of bate in the
House Of Lords, which We give. reveals
this much in regard to England. and the
disposition of LOUIS Napoleon has at no
time been doubtful. Both governments
are preparing for WAR.
We have no expectation that an &C.
commoGa,ion will take place. The ulti
mstum Of Turkey and the Four Powers
is the unconditional evacuation by the
Russian troops Of the Danubian princi
palities. There is no likelihood that i,
will be complied with; and if insisted on
as it must of course be. general hosiili.
ties Immediately ensue as the inevitable
consequences.
The recall Of the Plenipotentiaries oil
the several Powers from the capitols oil
each, is Of itself decisive. The Official
refusal Of the Car TO evacuate the Prov

with them large quantities OF almost every

near Adrianople, in the plains formed By
the early deposits, and in the lerruginous
sands Of the river Arda. and also on the
slopes of Mount Pelion and Mount 0ssa,
in Thessaly, interniixed with extensive de-
