Such the nature and such had been the duration Of
this contest that the desnies of Europe to hang

the shattered buiwarks Of political system which has
menaced the independence oil Europe and crushed the
liberties OF nations.

IS THERE ANY PROSPECT or PEACE?
From the Journal dc Frankfort
We learn from authentic source that the last
circular despatch Of Count Nesseode to the Russian
Ministers at German courts evinces pacific dispositions
Is than probable that Russia Is the inclined
to peace because is urgent necessity for her If
that empire were forced to continue It's immense Efforts
her power would be paraiysed for long period come
But who doubt that A Europe has need Of peacef
England and France themselves however powerful must
admit that they cannot Russia by the aid Of
their fleets and the which they have in the
Crea, and that the result they may obtain will not be
in proportion to the sacrifices they must make. We
must therefore presume with regard to the Western
powers ALSO that they warmly desire the restoration Of
peace.
Consequently we believe we are only expressing
well grounded hope in asserting that the coming winter
will bring us fresh negotiations for peace which beyond
all doubt, will lead TO the desired end and in which
Prussia will proceed with Austria in to impress
upon Russia the conviction that she musoreyer give
all idea Of preponderance in the Black Sea.
