The Conference at Vienna having been for
ALLY closed at the instigation of the western
poyers the negotiations for peace would not
i;telv be renewed unless Russia shall apply to
Austria for her good offices.
A,.,r;a il is said con siders herself released
mall engagements to the Western Powers,the
ia,tor having refused to conclude peace on rea-
sonable terms. Austria. however, still processes
herself to be the ally of France and England, sub.
;aot to article I. of the treaty of December I'd.
The Vienna papers advise that although the
conference is closed the Russian plenipotentia-
ries still have the Austrian propositions under
consideration; and say that Austria still desires
TO effect mediation. In the meantime the m'i-
tary commissioners of France and Britain have
left Vienna.
THE wARNEws.
The news from the seat of war is mostly con-
irmsd in details of previously reported dongs.
The government telegraphs an account of the
affair before Sebastopol on the night of May 22d,
which show great gallantry on the part of the
French. 1t also shows that the victory was not
in reality further success but merely success
ful,attempt to destroy very dangerous works.
The Russian plan was to unite all the ambus-
cades by line of gabions connected by a contn-
uous covered way south of their present defences,
enclosing in fact entirely new space of ground.
The French plan was to carry this new defence
and transform it into a French position, which
was accomplished at immense loss.
The details of the allied advance on the line of
the Tchemai says the Allies force consisted of
10000 men. Tae condition of the ground shows
that the Russians never intented to maintain their
positon New "Reminiscences had been made,
accounts however indicate that all the allies were
vet on their own side of the river.
The details of the capture of kertsch has also
been received. 1t appears that tho tempests OF
last winter had washed away forty sunken ships
placed across the mouth of the straits of Yenikale
by the Russians and thus the approach of the
Allies against Kertsch. The Allies found l7,00o
tons of coal at Kertsch, and so dismounted guns,
but no powder or stores. The total number o
vessels buried by the Allies was240 They pro-
pose now to fortify Yenikale and garrison it by
Turks, but they will not hold kertsch. Steam
CTS of light draft cruising as near rs possible
to Taganrog.
Considerable discrepancy exists in the ac-
counts of the Allies proceedings at Genlicn,sid-
ney Herbert in Carliament, on the 9Th. said that
the press had drawn differences from the success
es ofthe Allies that are not justified by the facts.
For the editorials speak as if Arabat and Genichi
were already taken; but although the Allies had
bombarded one and destroyed stores at the 9TH
ct place, they are not yet in possession of them.
1t must, therefore he said, be thought that we are
masters of the Putrid Sea.
FROM THE BALTIC.
The British and French fleets on the 4,h were
close to Cronstadt Admiral Dundas had made
a reconnaissance and found that new fortifca-
tions had been erected since last year. Several

June Sd, that the allies had left Genitchi, and
