The News
Our Geographic dispatches from Washington are
rather exciting and warlike and confirm the intel
gsnse previously received by us from that quarter.
Fhey indicate some action on the part OF the go
yernment relative to the FL Dorado and other oura
ges committed by the Cuban authorities. We shall
see wha: it will turn out to be- The President de-
oies against an 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? viii he stick to this deciGon2 We
learn that several naval osers on this station have
already received the Instructions mentioned in our
dispatches and are ready for service and eager for
fight.
By the arrival Of the Asia at Halifax we have re.
seiyed one weeks later Intelligence from Europe.
The news which she brings s not Of very impor.
taAt eharac Ter, being composed principally Of rumos
and speculations founded on the death Of the EN-
peror Nicholas. The manifesto addressed by the
new Gear to his army, the text Of which we pub.
Hsh in another column, m generally considered
warlike in its tone, although like the sting In q
dys letter its force seems 10 lie in the postscript.
In this addition to the manifesto the new Gear pre-.
ssnts to the Guards the uniform worn by the late
Emperor, accompanying it with these emphatic
Words" May the sacred memory Of Nicholas sur.
vive In our ranks as o terror to the foe, and the
glory of Russia The unfavorable impression
created by this docu ment has been in some degree
neutralized by what has transpired Of the
proceedings Of the Vienna Congress. That body
formally opened its conferences on the 15.h Of
March, and we are informed that on the following
day the four bases negotiation, and the interpre
taton given to them by the allies, we're set forth
and verbally accepted blythe Russian plenipotentiary
circular from Austria to the federal governments
ofGermsny In reference to themobilization Of their
sontngents, mentions that Alexander had author
jzed Prince Gsrtschakof TO- treat for peace on the
same basis Sd that sanctioned by the late Emperor.
Prussia, in 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
S consequently ex uded from all share in the CON-
Sertnces.
II ia rumored-we know not with how much GO
suracythat The principal obstacle to the successful
Examination Of these negotiations likely to procesd
1Rom the Emperor Napoleon, who insists on the de-
mslition Of Sebastopola condition which his allies
are said to be willing to waive. Amongst the re-
ports current OF the late Czar's dying recommenda
tions 70 his successor, il is mentioned that he i'm
pressed upon him the expediepcy Of concluding
peace even ut the sacrifice Of Russian supremacy
IN the Black Sea. This latter statement seems to
have created favorable impression On the EogEsh
money market, having probably been fabricated
wish that view.
There Is nothing of importance from the Cimea.
ne allies have recommended firing upon Sebasto-
pol but apparently with the same success as bsfors
No W hear Of no result being attained by il. The
affair Of tue s.orming Of the redoubts, respecting
which some doubts prevailed, in cleared up, both
sAe French and Russian accounts turning ont to be
correct. There was no truth, however, in the re.
port that the Grand Duke Michael had been killed.
The Russvns were erecting formidable lines Of for
tAcatiOn In the Valley Of Inkermann, and had sunk
two more ships in the harbor of Ssbastopol.
Mr.. Roebucks committee of inquiry was proceed
mg with It's Investigations, which, so far as they
have gone, fully bear out all the charges Of mis-
management made against the English government.
From Spain the news is interesting. Dispatches
had been received by the government from General
Concha commune ating the details of the projected
msurrection in Cuba, and strongly urging upon it
she expedency of making concessions to the colony,
and OF accepting Cuban deputy TO the Cortes.
He says II these concessions are not made 90 900
Spanish troops will not be able to hold the island.
He expresses himself strongly opposed TO the emsn-
cspAtion Of the blacks, which he states woald be
iAsn measure, and would coer.e Cuba to seek admis
Sion into the United States; curious argument, IL
n be correctly stated. The government had declared
rs disposition 10 make gil reasonable conc ssions to
the colony.
