pol, to permit the feet to winter in the harbor
Letters state that the town of Marianopol, on
the north coast of the sea Of Azotf, was bonn
bsrded by the Allies on the 31st Of October.
One hundred shells were thrown, and the town
set on hre, till Austrian merchants hoisted the
Austrian flag over the warehouse, when the
firing ceased. It was rumored that Gen.
Hrangle menaced the Allied position at the
Straits Of Yenikale. The Allies had, however,

Sweden Joins the Alliance.
Respecting Canrobert's mission to Sweden, we
have only q Paris rumor; but the rumor is i'm
portant, and is as follows: That terms of q mill
tary Convention are agreed to-; that Sweden will
furnish contingent to act with the Allies next
spring, if peace be not previously restored; and
that an army Of French, English and Swedes
will be sent to Courland to force Prussia and
Austria to declare themselves, and in return
for her alliance the Allies will guarantee Fin
land to her. 9 EAR Il
Canrohert has been overwhelmed with honor
His mission to Denmark is now the great point
of interest Want Of success there might neu-
tralize the advantage gained in Sweden, as it is
different lines of policy.

diets the Times with regard to the alleged
Swedish alliance, and says that the Times de-
tails OF military convention and its assertion
Of the adhesion Of Denmark are without founda-
tion. se H
Peace. r +
Rumors Of a disposition on the part of the
Russlan Government to make the first advances
to negotiate for peace continue to prevail, but
excepting reliable information that the mercan-
tile classes in Russia are weary of war, there is
no apparent ground for the rumors. It is,
however, confidently reported that M. De Nun
ster, Military Envoy Of Prussia at St. Peters,
burg, had visited the Gar at Nicolaieff with a
view Of inducing him to recognize certain con
ditions Of peace such as would be laid before the
French and English Cabinets. The Czar lis
tened favorably to NJ. De MINISTER'S PROPOSE
tions.
The Prussian Cabinet is now in possession Of
the views Of Emperor Alexander, and is empow-
cred to make them known to the Western Pow
listen to them, though at the same time they
have declared them to be insufficient The
great fact is that negotiations between Russia
and Prussia are still proceeding.
The Court Of Berlin is making the greatest
efforts to induce the Gear to consent to such
terms rs will really lead to pacific result. AS
the Prussian Cabinet is sufficiently we'll ac-
quainted with the firm resolution of the Allied
Powers, the continuation Of the negotiation af-
fords some ground for hoping that there is at
least chance Of peace.

The London Times publishes elaborate eiito-
rial calculations showing that the total availa-
BILE strength of Russia is SO per thousand souls
