Attention throughout Europe was cen.
tered in the Vienna conference. Homes
and fears were about equally balanced as
to the probabilities of peace. The actions
of Austria and Prussia indicate peace as
probable, but manifesto by the Car
Alexander to his army is interpreted for
war; in speaking of which, the Boston
Journal says:
Notwithstanding the warlike manifesto
of the new Gar, it must be admitted that
the tenor of the advice looks like q
speedy termination Of the war. Although
VIC have but meagre account of the pro-
ceedings of the conference at Vienna, vet
it is stated that the plenipotentiaries have
arrived at q satisfactory understanding as g
to the general basis of the negotiations,
and that the representative Of Russia has
verbally accepted the interpretations put
upon them by the allies. This, if it means
kanything, means peace, but it is impossible
10 tell what complications may arise, o.
how far the new Czaf may be disposed to
yelled to the demands which will be made
upon him. 1t is stated that England and
Austria will be satisfied without the demo-
lition of Sebastopol, but that Napoleon
absolutely insisted upon that condition.
Prussia has absolutely refused to join the
allies, and has prohibited the expectation
Of munitions Of war. The same power has
also issued circular, stating that there
is reasons to believe that the negotiations
will terminate inpeace. A doubtful rumor
also says that the Emperor Of Austria has
writted to Napoleon that the negotiations
T will lead to peace. 1t is also to be noticed
that there is decided improvement in
monetary affairs There is nothing known
in regard to NapoleOn's intended journey
to the Crimca, and be still continues his
preparations for carrying on the war on
the same extended scale. The Roebuck
Inquiry Committee is still in session, and
the worst report Of mismanagement are
! confirmed. The patriotic fund exceeds
81 900, 600 sterling. We have some i'm
portant news from Spain. The Govern
ment shows disposition to make repara-
ton for the indiscretions Of its officers in
Cuba. There is nothing important from
SebastopoL The general condition Of the
allied armies seem to have improved. There
has been neither a battle nor a stormingof
the city. f'- tot. ii6 aos

i AT the conference everything was being
conducted in the most friendly manner-ths
Plenipotentiaries exchanged their powers,
and the proceedings were entered upon the

been set forth, they were accepted verbally
by the representative Of Russia, who there

The mission of Gen. Welhesty to Paris,
is a complete failure. Russia refuses 10
accede to treaty with the Allies, and
