The CzAh ACCEPTb THE GUARANTIEb
The following are the dispatches on which the
news respecting the chances of peace ara founded:
"VIENNA, Monday--A conference was held
yesterday Prince Gortschakoff announced that
having consulted the Emperor his master, he was
authorized to accept the Interpretation of the
four guarantees as laid down on the record of
the conference of December 28th He was EN-
powered and prepared at once to negotiate a
peace. 1t was stipulated on the part Of the AL
lies that cessation of hostilites should, in the
meantime, take place."
vienna, Sunday.--In conformity with instruc-
tions received yesterday, Prince Gortschakoff nm
reservedly accepted the four points as interpreted
by the Allies, and confirms the acceptance In
conference which is held to-day.
PARIS, Tuesday morning-A telegraphic des
patch from Vienna private, but of guaranteed au-
thenticity, announces that Russia, having accept
ed the four propositions of the allies without
serve, and according to the three Powers, Count
Buol has invited France and England to proceed
to Interior negotiations for the restoration Of peace
Turkey Is invited to send a representative to
the conference" 8 H
sL M NOT ACCEPTED UNCOMFORTABLE.
The Paris correspondent of the London Times
says
"Since the preceding was written, / am inform
ed that the English and French Ambassadors at
Vienna have written to their governments for the
necessary authorization to enable them to enter
into negotiations with Prince Gortschakoff, It APP
pears that the Prince has not accepted without
serye the guarantee with the Interpretation Of the
allies, which were communicated to him confden-
tally. The Prince has, / am assured, demanded
certain changes, which at first appeared to N. de
Buol not to possess any Importance but SO far they
are changes and therefore the acceptance is not
unreserved. In case of the negotiations failing,
and that nothing is done before the 18th instant,
Austria is bound to change the present treaty into
a defensive one. The opinion generally prevails
more and more that the object of Russia is to gain
time to concentrate her troops in Podoa and Po-
land against Austria"
The official Austrian Correspondents confirms the
telegraphic dispatches, and announces that If the
French and English Cabinets approve of what has
occurred negotiations for the conclusion of solid
peace win soon commence.
Another despatch says, that the representatives
of the four powers, namely, England, France, Aus
tria and Russia-had themselves come to friendly
understanding, but the written approval of their
respective governments was considered necessary.
PROPOSED MEDIATION OF THE UNITED STATES DIS
CoURAaED.
The proposed mediation of the United States
has excited much less attention than might have
been supposed. The following editorial appears
to express pretty nearly the public feeling:
From the London Daily Times.
The arguments by which the advo-
Gates Of mediation seek to move their countrymen
to adopt their views, appear to be mainly address
ed to the nations sense of its own Importance.
The changes are assiduously rung on the undenia-
BILE truth, that the North American republic hav-
ing great commercial interests to protect in all wa
ters, cannot afford to stand aloof from the coun-
sells Of other States; and that the North American
republic has now attained TO such degree of con-
sequence and power as entities It to claim to be
-
feet equality.with tho proudest and most infuen-
tiAl States.
"The citizens of the United States may rest
sured that they win meet with no disposition In
Europe TO resist claims so natural and reasonable.
Above all, no opposition to them will be offered
in England. 0nthe other
hand, the citizens Of the United States will allow
that such offers Of mediation may be declined in
any special case and no disrespect be implied by
the declinature II Is free to the party to offer
its friendly services; 1t is equally free to the other
not TO accept them. They may be declined, be-
cause, after mutual explanations, il may appear
that the mediator and the bellgerent are not
agreed as 10 the nature Of the quarrel the prnci
Piles at issue. Such difference of opinion would
render il impossible for the one free State TO re-
cognise an arbitral jurisdiction in the other and
yet the most perfect mutual respect and anity
might exist between them.
DENMARK.
CorEsHAoEs, January 6.-The American dem
onstraton to exempt the ships Of the United States
from the payment Of the Sound dues in future, is
likely 20 lead 20 more serious complications than
at first anticipated. Fears are beginning 10 be
felt in certain high quarters Of Brother Jonathan
fulfilling his threat Of sending squadron of ships
Of war TO convoy their merchant vessels through
the Sound without paying the toll, and steps arc
taken in a quiet manner 10 meet the emergency.
Some guns OF heavy calbre which have been lying
unmounted for many years on the ramparts Of the
citadel, have been taken to Elsnore, and mounted
there, so as TO command any ships passing the
Sound, while the garrison has been increased by a
couple Of hundred artiIerymen.
