The Empress OF Russia ON the
War.

The Paris correspondent Of the London Times
says that private Letter from Berlin contains
information that the news Of the taking of Sehas-
topol produced the greatest sensation at St. Pc
tersburg; and that the young Empress, who APP
pears to desire to be at the head of the peace par
ty, does not spare her reprosches against the war
party. She says that if the note of Vienna had
been accepted, Russia would have been spared
the humiliation OF the four points of guarantee
demanded by the Allies: and that, if at later
period those guarantees had been accepted, Rus
STA would have been spared the shame Of the de-
feat of tia Tchernaya and the terrible disaster oil
the fall of Sebastopol. The journey of the EN-
peror to the South had been resolved upon (adds
this writer) before the fall Of sebastopel was
known. Its object was to raise the spirit OF the
Russian army. which according to the reports Of
Prince Gortschakof was greatly broken and de-
pressed.
