10 embrace The gtSt OF the news:
The English press admits that hopes OF
peace have fed, and that no assistance can
be expected from Austria and but little
from the rest Of Europe; consequently
that France and England must fight it out
e The London Times publishes an article ex-
pressing these views. Tie Times has alsc
an editorial on behalf of the Government
stating that It is impossible to peruse the
official documents Of the Vienna Conference
q without seeing that Russia was never in
g earnest in her pretended desire for peace
Some, however think differently, and BAR
Grey, 10 the House Of Lords, has given no
g tice Of a motion for the 2lst inst, an ad
dress be sent to the Queen, deploring the
failure of negotiations and stating as ibe
opinion of Parliament that tie proposals Of
O Russia were such as 10 afford fair pros
pect of concluding peace, by which all
s. the original objects OF the war might have
s been gained and by which the Allies might
have obtained all the advantages which can
be reasonably demanded from Russia
Miner Gibson made similar motion in the
House of Commons.
A correspondent from the camp, April
81, explains the difficnl.ies ofthe siege, but
states confidently that the Allies advance
over the ground bit by bit, and that while
the works so advance there can be no doubt
of ultimate success, provided the Russians
in the field are unable to force the Allies
to raise the siege. Gen. Canrobert has an
nounced that when reinforcements arrive
be will enlarge the circle Of his operations,
Implying that be will attack the Russian
field position. On the 2sth of April, Can
robert writes to the Emperor that the Eng
lish army has recovered its health and et-
fciency, and is on cordial terms with the
French.
The latest official advices from Sevasto-
Dol are to May TO- On that day, in the
morning, the Russians made a sortie with a
large body of troops on the Allies right
advance trench, but were driven back i'm
mediately, and second and similar attempt
shared the same fate. Nothing could be
better than the conduct of the troops who
took part in the affair. The loss ofthe en-
emy was serious.
Procrastinaiion and jealousies are dam
aging the proposed scheme Of Turkish con-
tingenI, commanded by English officers OF
the India army.
TIE BALT1c.-As advised by telegraph
the English and French fleets are slowly
working their way up the Baltic, as the ice
permits The Mails give this additional
news:
It is said that France asks permission to
establish French camp on Swedish terri
tory, and if refused, Bomardsund will be
occupied and fortified by the Allies.
Three ships LEFT England on the 10th to
blockade the White Sea
The followingis from the london Stan
ddrd: A very extraordinary circumstance,
reported from quarter which precludes
any doubt as to the truth of the statement,
reaches us by letters from St. Petersburgh.
Il appears that fine American frigate-
built ship recently arrived at port in the
Baltic.
II was stated that the vessel had on
board 800 bales cotton, but the correspon-
dent of our informant visited the ship and
found that in addition to the above she had
$4,000 rifles and 5000 revolvers. The
Russians laugh at our cruisers and natural
lY ask if John Bull has been asleep to have
allowed so valuable prize to escape. The
Messrs. c., merchants of Boston, were
passengers, and are supposed 10 have acted
as supercargoes. We have not been able
to ascertain if the vessel left America this
season and cut her way through the ice be-
fore our flying squadron could come up
with her, or If she reached one of the low
er ports Of the Baltic last year and lay quiet
till the spring. We say no more than,
"What are our Consuls in the United
States about to have permitted such car
20 to leave without apprising our Govern
ment here of the fact ?" Other letters from
st. Petersburgh state that the vessel has
since left for Koenigsberg in ballast.
PoLITIoAL RELATIoEs.-lt would appear
that affairs in the diplomacy of the Powers
are considerably charged with ofensiveness
towards the Allies. These items put us in
possession of The posture of the diplomats
and their schemes:
Symptoms increase that the Austrian
and PrussiaD Cabinets are attempting to ef-
feet general accordance among the Ger
man States. Editors of semi-official iourn-
ais have been invited to favor the move
ment.
The documents ofthe Vienna Conference,
the whole extending to ninety pages. are
partially republished in the English papers
and have excited much interest.
Lord Palmerston has evaded answering
the question whether the conferences are
or are not finally broken of; but it is said
as the accredited representatives Of all the
powers, Russia included, continue TO reside
in Vienna, the elements of the conference
permanently exist should Russia, or Aus
tria on behalf Of Russia, make at any time
proposals offering prospect of settlement
A Russian note in the form of a circular,
addressed to the German States, says that
the Gar, relying on the continuance Of the
policy hitherto pursued by them, Will ad-
here to the solution given at the confercn-
ces to the two first points Of the guarantee
The Vienna correspondent of the London
Times says that so long as no revolution
ary elements are brough: into action, Aus
tria will leave Russia to get out Of her diff
ficulties as best she can; but if England
and France should resolve 10 form a corp:
of refugees and employ them on or neal
her frontiers, the holy alliance would assur
edly again be formed.
