Tho News.
Our Geographic dispatches from Washington are
rather exciting and warlike, and confirm the intel
Agsnse previously received by from that quarter.
gAey indicate some action on the part OF the 60
vernment relative to the FL Dorado and other ousra-
ges committed by the Cuban authorities. We shall
what 1t will turn out to be. The President de-
oies against extra session Of Congress- choosing
10 take the responsibility Of settling our troubles
with Spain with the resources at his command.
WIN he do It Will he stick to this decision2 We
learn that several naval osers on this station have
already received the instructions mentioned in our
despstches and ready for service and eager for
fight.
By the arrival Of the Asis at Halifax we have re-
seived one weeks later Intelligence from Europe
The news which she brings is not Of q very imp0r
tAAt character being composed principal Of rumors
and speculations founded on the death Of the EN-
peEor Nicholas. The manifesto addressed by the
new Gear to his army, the text Of which we pub.
Hsh in another column, 10 generally considered
warlike IN its tone, although, like the sting In
hdys letter. its force seems TO lie in the postscript
In this addition to the manifesto the new Gear pre-.
sents 70 the Guards the uniform worn by the late
Emperor, accompanying it with these emphatic
Words" May the sacred memory Of Nicholas sur.
yive In our ranks as terror to the foe, and the
glory Of Russia The unfavorable impression
created by this document has been in some degree
neutralized by what has transpired Of the
procee dings of the Vienna Congress. That body
formally opened its conferences on the l5.h Of
March, and we are informed that on the following
day the four bases = negotiation and the interpre-
tati0n given TO them by the allies, were set forth
and verbally accepted blythe Russian penipotentiary
A circular from Austria to the federal governments
CT Germany In reference to the mobilization Of their
sontngents mentions that Alexander had author
ized P,ince srtschakof to treat for peace on the
same basis So that sanctioned by the late Emperor.
Prussia, in q nose to her diplomatic and consular
agents, expresses strong hopes that the present
negotiations win terminate in peace. The mission
Of General Wedell to Paris has failed, and Prussia
is consequently ex luded from gil share in the CON-
Srnces.
snracythat the principal obstacle to the successful
Examination Of these negotiations Ia likely to proceed
asOm the Emperor Napoleon, who insists on the de.
mslition Of Sebastopol-a condition which his allies
are said to be willing to waive. Amongst the re-
ports current o, the late Czar's dying recommeuds
tions 70 his successor il is mentioned that he i'm
pressed upon him the expediercy Of concluding
peace, even ut the sacrifice Of Russian supremacy
Ia the Black Sea. This latter statement seems to
have create favorable impression on the Eogksh
money market, having probably been fabricated
with that view.
There Is nothing Of importance from the Cdmea.

pol but apparently with the same success IS bsfors,
No w hear OF no result being attained by IL. The
affair Of tae s.orning Of the redoubts, respecting
which some doubts prevailed, il cleared up, both
sAe French and Russian accounts turning out to be
correct There was no truth, however, in the re-
port that the Grand Duke Michael had been killed.
The Russisns were erecting formidable lines OF for
tMeation in the Valley Of Inkermann, and had sunk
