The News from Europe-Progress Of the
Peace Negotiations Their Probable acsults.
The European news received by the Nash
vile does not amount to much. The adjourn
ment of the sittings of the Vienna Conference
during Holy Week had rather diplomatic
than religious motive. The latter was sea-
sonable pretext to afford tine for the considera-
ton of the difficulties raised by the Russian
representatives on the unfortunate third point
and for the arrival of the ultima ratio Of the
allies, of which NJ. Drouyn de L'Huys is said to
be the bearer.

is furnished. In the Vienna correspondence Of

the bearer of conditions of q decidedly
pacific nature, and which will tend to

believe the fact simply to be, that NJ.
Drouyn de L'Huys is sent to Vienna less
with the hope or expectation that his presence
will have any material effect upon the deliber-
ations of the conference, than to impart greater

exception Of Russia, all the Powers are now
represented by ministers holding the highest
ministerial offices in their own country, so that
the conference is assuming all the conditions
and attributes of Congress.

ment can be arrived at Holding her own on
every point, Russia cannot make any conces-

honor. The pride and religious enthusiasm of
her people are now thoroughly sroused-her
