LATE FROM

ZL
We make the following additional extracts
from late files of English papers brought by
the steamers America and st. Louis, Decem-
Der 9th
A report, which is probably premature, has
been circulated, that General Canrobert, the
special representative of the Allies TO Sweden,
has concluned a treaty with Sweden, binding
that power to join the Western Alliance in the
spring by operations by land and sea. The
Allies, on the other hand, undertake to restore
Finland and Sweden.
1t was also reported that Denmark would
follow the course of Sweden and Norway. The
London Morning Post, however, discredits the
story.
Rumor also gives a circumstantial account
Of the Prussian Envoy having seen the Gear
at Nicolaieff and obtained from him an assent
for Prussia to inform the Western Powers that
he is willing to treat for peace. This is also
doubtful.
Accounts from the Crimea represent both
the Russians and Allies as prepared for the
winter, and under cover. The Allies were still
experimenting an attack from the Russians. 1t
was reported that a bombardment of the north
side Of Sebastopol was in, contemplation, for
the purpose of enabling the Allied fleets to
winter in the harbor.
Marinopol, a town situated on the north side
Of the sea of Azoff, was bombarded by the AL
lies on the 30th of October, and set on fire.
The London Post contradicts q story put
forth by the Times, that Canrobert, on the part
of the Allies, had concluded a. treaty with
Sweden, by which that power was to enter ac-
lively into the Western Alliances by land and
sea, in consideration of which the Allies were
to restore to Sweden her ancient possession of
Finland. Also, Denmark had given in her ad-
hesion to the cause of the Allies.
The rnmored disposition of Russia to make
further advances towards peace, are considered
unfounded. 1t was confidently reported, how
: ever, that the Prussian envoy to st. Petersburg
had visited the Gear at Nicolaieff, with the
view of inducing him to recognize certain con-
ditions as a basis for peace negotiations, and
that the Gar listened favorably. The Prus-
sian Cabinet had made known the Cars views
to the Western Powers, who declared them in
sufficient, but Russia and Prussia are still
proceeding, and the Court at Berlin is making
the greatest efforts to induce the Gear to con
sent 10 terms of peace. The continuation Of
these negotiations offered some hope OF their
being chances for peace.
1t was rumored that Gen. Wrangle menaces
the allied position in the Straits of Yenikale.
The allies had 10000 troops there and were
expecting large reinforcements.

A despatch from Berlin states that the Rus
sian loan from the German capitalists had been
concluded.
The Gear arrived at St. Petersburg on the
18th.
The King of Sardinia is in Paris, and has
