equivocul The sincerity OF Russia lsI
I doubted. and consos which first advanced
I two per cent. afterwards fell back. Tie al

In regard to the siege of Sevastopol, the
last dispatch published by the British Gov
eminent are to the goth of December. and
embrace only what We have received via ST.
Petersburgh We have a dispatch from
Nenschikotf which says, nothing new has
occurred. We continue to annoy the enc
my BY night actions. In one Of these we
made ten Zouaves prisoners The wealth
er continues very variable. The Railway
! from Balaklava to the camp was to be COM
menced at once. The fire of the allies con-
,inued very futile and caused scarcely any
damage. Sickness is on the increase. The

Elgin for the part he had taken in the me-
gotiation ofthe reciprocity treaty Lord Elgin
made a very complimentary speech on the
occasion.
/ The proposed mediation Of the United
| States had excited less attention than might
have been supposed. The London Times
treats the question with great candor and
submits the United States must allow that
such offer of mediation may be declined in
any specia! case, and no disrespect be i'm
piled by the declination of it. 1t is
free to the one part. to offer his friendly
services, and free to the other to accept
them.
