Correspondence Of the London Chronicle.l
Prospects Of Peacefully the Allies are in
active.
PARIS Nov. A.
The Austrian Gazette formerly the Lloyd's)
says:
Count Colloredo has brought the highly impor-
tant news that Russia was disposed to sue for
peace, even at the price of heavy sacritccs-
This newsis said to have been transmitted to Vi
emma by the Berlin Cabinet which latter has also
asked whether Austria was disposed to concert
with Prussia, to recommend the Russian propo
sitions to the attention Of the allied powers. But
seeing that the latter have declared, on several
occasions, their resolution TO exclude Prussia
from all participation in the future negotiations
for peace, Count Collorcdo is charged, they say,
| by his Government, carefully TO examine the
ground at Paris, and then 10 discuss this delicate
question with the British Government II is
added that Austria, very far from declining the
cooperation of Prussia, has declared, on the COM
rary, that she regarded it as very desirable and
proper TO hasten and secure the rc-establishnent
Of the general peace. lis 3.5s si.4@
These Russian propositions said to be the
result of secret negotiations that have been 20
ing on for some weeks between Prussia and St
Petersburg. N. Bourquency, it is added, is to
look in at Berlin on his way back to his post at
Vienna, and there discuss them with the Prus-
sian Minister for Foreign Affairs, and put them
into such shape as may lead to decisive result
The greater hope is entertained of so desirable
| a conclusion that the Western Powers have not
talked of altering one iota of the basis laid
down in the treaty OF tho Cd December, notwith-
standing the fall of Sebastopol-so that the path
is still open for Russia to treat of peace on most
honorable terms.
These pacific visions are not, however, in vogue
here; and looking at the Emperor's order for
fresh levy, considerable doubt is expressed
whether Russia herself is sufficiently humbled to
have become really a partisan of the ''Peace-at-
any-price" school, Most probably these essays
Of the Prnssian and Austrian cabinets will turn
out to be rather oficienr than oficiets
think the following maybe taken as the only
really official information vouchsafed to the pub.
lie as to further operations in the Crmea 1t is

~ appears from the latest dispatches received
from the Crlmea that the abundant rains prevail
ing there had caused some notifications in the
plan OF operations projected by Marshal Pelissier
for the close Of the campaign. A part of the
troops that had been destined to assist in it have
therefore resumed their old positions at Baldar
and on the lines of the Tchernaya. The other
part continues to occupy strongly cntrenched
positions on the Tchamli and in front of the en-
envy.
Everything, therefore, shows that the allied
armies are moving into winter quarters. One
reason TOR this step is probably that given in a
letter in the .journatde Constantinople, whicl.
says the reconnaissance showed that the ground
was lmpracticable for horses; and that, notwi,h.
standing the mud and rain, the moment the
troops left the Tcheruaya, they were Obliged TO
carry their water with them.
DEMAND FOR SALTPETRE.
The British Government has officially prohibit
cd the expectation OF saltpetrc from the East in.
dia Companys territories TO any other norts but
Liverpool and London. The Government has al
SO ordered all vessels that were loading in Eng
land with saltpetre and muriate of soda for the
United States, 10 discharge the same
The ship Catherine, of New York Can't Ed
monds, which was loading AT London for Boston,

NEW YORK, Nov. %.
Barnum has sold the American Museum 10
Greenwood Il Butler, and is making arrange
ments to build large dramatic establishment on
the plan of Astley's in London with Zooogi-
cal Garden attached, A large plot of land on
Broadway has been bought for the purpose.
The following is the note Mr. Buchanan sent
to the London Times and which that journal re-
fused to publish.
The American Minister presents his compli-
ments to the editors of the Times, and assures
them they have been misinformed with respect
to the expressions and conduct attributed to him
IN their leading article ofthis morning Always
mindful of the neutrality of his, government
which hetully approves it is with deep regret
he learned, as he first did from Washington, that
attempts were made in the United States te re-
cruit soldiers for the British Army because he is
confident that such attempts would tend to wea
ken the the friendly relations between the two
countries, which it has been his ardent desire
since his arrival in England to cherish and pro-
mote.
The American Minister cannot, of course, en-, |
ter into discussion in the public Journals of !
questions between the two Governments, or state
what Is contained i'll any correspondence which /
may have arisen out of these questions. but he |
has felt it due both to the TIMES and himself to /
nlaka this prompt correction.
