BRu1rs DE PA1x.-New York, l3 decem
bre.-Les seules nouvelles importantes publiees
par les journaux europeans, pendant 10 semai-
ne qui precede lc depart du Baltic, mont
trait qua diverses rumeurs qui circulent sur
lsprobabilites dune paix prochaine. l
Dapres une de ces rumeurs 10 Russie aurait
directemeut charge 10 Prusse de porter des pa
roles de cancellations aux puissances occiden-
tales; Ia Prusse aurait accepte cette mission ct
lAutriche elle-meme aurait donne son adhe-
sion a Get arrangement. Un autre rapport,
qui nous semble plus plausible, dit que des ou-
ventures paci6ques ont etc faites directement a
Louis Napoleon, au nom de Ia Russie, ct que
ces propositions sont tout fait acceptables.
D'apres cette seconde version 10 Russie con-
viendrait dun traite de paix avec les puissan-
ces occidentales, sans l'intervention des gouver-
nement neutres de rAutriche ct de 10 Prusse; /;
Gle consentirait a garantir Independence des
princpautes danubiennes ct accederait a 10 IL
berte de Ia mer Noire. Pendant ce temps les
pulssances beligerentes continueraient leurs pre-
paratifs de guerre, mais les hostiites ne pour
Talent etrc reprises qua une epoque determi-
nee
Tous ces bruits sont probablement prematu-
res, mais on entretient respoir que 10 paix sor-
tra de ces negotiations.
LES FORCES RussEs.-Voici, d'apres des
renseignemens puisees BONES sources les for
ces don't Ia fRussie dispose sur le theatre de Ia
guerre: 10 dams les gouverneinens de Bessa-
rabie ct de Cherson, savoir, le long du Pruth
ct des cots de la mer Noir, depuis lembouchu-
redu Danube jusqu'a Perecop, 100000 honl-
mes; 20 larmee de Crimee, y compris les
reserves de Perecop, peut selever a 100000
hommes; 30 10 ligne du corps dttache du
Caucasse est defendu par 10000; cette ligne
torme laile gauche extreme de 10 ligne de de-
tense qui quelques centanes de lieues d'eten-
due; 40 les troupes reunies Kars ne s'ele.
vent qua $4,000 hommes; 30 10 ligne de de.
Tense du Nord nest occupte que par $4,000
hommes. .s e..r al. ..n'.. 81
Nous n'avons pas de chifres positifs sur les
troupes de Pologne, de Volhynie ct de Podo
lie. i est probable que Ia Russie fera l'annee
prochaine les plus grands efforts pour compile
ter les armees deportation chargees de dtfendre
ron empire. Gazette militaire du 10 nov.
