PROGRESS OF me NEGOTIATIONS.


Two distinct negotiations OF an opposite character
and purpose may be said be foot at the present
time in Vienna. The one Is the dscussion of the
conditions Of pesce, which stops for the present at
the acceptance of the prolm Dary terms until t1s tel
esIaphc message from ST Petersburg Is confirmed
by tie arrival Of explicit dspstch>s and until
powers To- treat for peace have been forwarded oy
Turkey England and France = their respective En-
Vows al Vienna The other is tse discussion and az
raDgemeui 10y the parties TO the treaty of tho ? q
December OF the efiectusl means to be employed
to obtain the object Of that alliance in pursuance
of the terms of tie 18th article. The unexpected oc-
currence of the former of these negotiations by the Os
tensitle acceptance OF the four points by kussa mas
not for moment interrupted the progress OF the
latter for although the three Powers would all with
extreme satisfaction the establishment OF peace
upon the bases they have laid down, they are not
prepared to accept the mere overture recently made
10 them by the Russian dpomatls as any satisfaction
of tie es eutia objects of their alliance The words
of the 9Th article OF the treaty are, IN case the re-
establishment of the general peace on the basis re-
oured be not insured before the end Of the present
"Nesr \ c. and, although that term was extended
AT lie express request Of Prince Gorchakof to the
l4.h of January even that DAY is nov passed, and
nothing has been cone TO insure the complete fu'n
ment of this condition. Ii has been stated on good
authority that the effect of the alleged acceptance O
the -Four Points by the Emperor of Russia was pre-
cisty similar at London, Paris, ana Vienna. Simul-
tsneously the receipt OF this intelligence tne
three allie Courts addressed to each other co nmun
cations expressing hope that the prospect OF peace
might be realized but urging their conieferates AMI
pledging themselves 10 relax in none OF the eAerOns
nects. any TO command success. III Is d ren4hsoie
proof Of the identity OF views existing between Inc
three Cabinets Il at these dispatches, written, OF
course without any previous concert, crossed each
cher on the road, and conveyed 10 each member OF
the alliance the assurance that his own views were
Anticipated by his allies. The conferences between
the Austrian Ministers the French aud English Min-
isers and the Military Commissioners have therefore
continued without intermssion, and the last move
mens which are said have taken place on the Lower

Whatever may be the real intentions OF the nperor

srmistce will be granted him and he. too accompa-

D.cen Der sets free the Imkish army by expressly
engaging the Emperor OF Austria 10 defend the whole
frontier Of the PIncpalties against any return OF
the Russian aggression, and the MAIN BODY OF Inc
