But appeal to the respectable, intelligent and
moderate portion of the American csnllHunity
whose Influence we sorry to see not very al-
parent in the present proceedings of their Gov er

two countries endangered and the vast interest of
commerce reciprocally beneficial imperiled, for
the sake OF obtaining little popularity for p0liti-
cal party and influencing, in however slight degree
the elections of the coming year.
Surely such matters rs the continuance of a good
understanding between England and America

An active intcrchange cf diplomatic notes has ken

the American Minister

The Mosquito question is the which imperils
the peace between Great Britain and tie u. States.
1t has been for some time source of diplomatic dis
quiet between the two countries and now tends to
open rupture. The American government considers
war highly probable, and the probability proceeds
from certain conceptions of views entertained by
Lord Pa!merstoa The Mosquito territory extends
from Cape Honduras TO the River San Juan, and is
proximate to Honduras and Nicaragua L. was q

THE VAR
The intelligence from the sea. of war contains
little that is really news. Some allied ships of war
attempted to enter both the Dneipcr and Bug but
retired, after making reconnaissance. 1t is known
that the Russian army of reserve intended for the
defense of Odessa, and for Reinforcement of the
army i'll the Crimea is stationed at Nic0laietf A
large Russian force was marched to Odessa when
the allied fleets were seen sailing thitherward and
on their withdrawal, was mai shed back spesdily
to Nicolaieff.
Although, since the reduction of Kinburu and
Otchakoff a land force of the allies may advance
on Nicolaief, advces from the spot say it is ques-
tionable whether such an enterprise is thought of
at this late season of the year The tactics of the
allied commanders seemed directed rather to ex-
pose the enemy to the destructive influences of
winter and to cut off his retreat than to offer open
battle. There is a general opinion that the fleets
have entered the Gulf of Perekop.
At SebastOpO the allies continue their repairs of
the city, and their preparations for the lombard
ment of Fort Constantine and the line of works
which the Russians hold and are strengthening on
the north side. A dcsultory cannonade is kept up
on both sides without much effect.
Large detachments were said to have been seen
Withdrawing from the north forts toward Simfero-
pol but these evidences of preparations to evacn-
ate are said to have ceased. Gen Gorchakoff late
ly expressed his determination to defend the Cri-
mea at all hazards. +
The London Times, apparently speaking from
authority, says
'We believe there can be no doubt that the ope-
ratiois for the expulsion of the Russians from the
Crimea are abandoned for the present season The

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
According to Vienna letters the Emperor of Rus
sia was dcsirous of holding personal interview at
some place on the frontier with the Emperor Of
Austria, King Of Prussia, and probably other po
tentates with the view of coming to some under
standing for the conclusion of peace
A correspondent of the Cologne Gazette, writing
from Berlin, alludes to the rlnors of peace, but
in the diplomatic circles of the Rrussian capital
they are considered unfounded no. merely because
every communication from that empire dseoun-
tenances the belief that Russia will make any con-
cessions TO the demands Of the Western Powers
