The following from the Courier and Enquirer
of Now York. bears nm impress of earnestness
and Authenticity which strongly incline us to be-
lieve it true. 1t Is from n London letter Of De-
crmber 9TH
| think may venture 10 assure You that there
is n strong probability of an early termination Of
tho Russian war. believe that 4usirid has Ger
tninly submitted propositions to France and Eng
land for its conclusions, with the assurance, that
il accepted by them and afterwards rejected by
Russia, she will immediately put I'M end to all
hesitancy on the sui ject and join with the allies
against the Gar.
These propositions, | am assured. receive Lou
il Napoleon's approval, and he expressed his
willingness to nccede to them, and the British
Government, somewha reluctantly, adopted his
policy.
These proposals stipuluie,
First. 10 convert the Black Sen into Il com
mprcial one, as a substitute for the third Of the
Iicnm four understanding for ever the ma
vies of oil nations from it and
Second, the whole course of the Danube, its
mouths included, to be entirely released from
Russian control.
That the Emperor Of Russia will accept these
propositions, can hardly be doubted. BY so do
ing, he will preserve the honor of his realm; for
he cannot successfully war with the allies with
Austria also against him. The contest has nj.
ready told ~fenrfully en- Russia. Her resources
of men and money nrc nearly exhausted; and dis
gnise it as they may, the Russian people, like
the English. * would hail the return Of pence With
reclamation Of delight. Should peace be CON
cluded, Lord palmerston's resignation Of the
Premiership,i is possible; and in that case, an
immediate settlement of all the existing quos-
tons of difference between the United States and
this country, would probably follow and cordial
relations thus be restored among the leading ma
tion- of the enrth.
The Courier add To the imp ,rtance of the
statements Of this letter by its comments. It
SAYS:
Our private ndviccs by the Asia, remove all
doubt in our minds, that the terms for concluding
an immediate pruce between the Western Pow.
ers and l,ussin, have been definitely arranged by
Austria, been acoeded to by liussiu, have recciv-
ed the assent of the Emperor Napoleon, and have
been reluctantly dcquiesced in Ivy England.
This - indeed important and gratifying intel
/ ligence and il may be implicitly relied on, not
withstanding the opinions # the European Press
and all the correspondents of tie American Prose
to tho contrary-our own Included. Oh course,
it cannot be expected of Us To reveal the source
of our Information. Suffice it to say, it is con-
yeyod in a letter written 10 us by direction OF one
,oho knoies and in a hasty note TO US says 81"
have requested - to write you in regard to the
probable termination of the war; bat even he is
not permitted to know tho almost certainty oi
that event; and our Press is strangely betogged
upon the subject"
No commentary that we could make, can pos
si@ly give importance to this Intelligence and II
will Mt once be perceived, that while the terms
are far more favorable than Russia had u right
to expect, they ahundantly secure the objects
with which the war was commenced, VIZ, the
protection of Turkey against Russia, and a cur
tailment of the aggressive power OF the North
ern Autacrat. John linll. no doubt, would hav,
desired to make RUSSIA foot the expenses of tn,
war; but this would have required another cam
paign and the conquest OF the entire Crimea.-
And what then To which of the allies shout,
tho Crimea belong They could not hold it for
ever as II ieint POSSE sion, and neither of then
could consent that it should belong permancntl,
to the other. Clearly the true policy is, to leav,
the Crimea in possession Of Russia. but 10 rcquir,
that the Black Sea shall forever hereafter be de
voted to commerce. and that no armed vcsse
shall ever be permitted to float uron its surface
Such are the conditions of Peace to he granite
by the allies 10 Russia. coupled with stipulation
which deprive her forever, of all control over tn
Danube or either Of It's mouths.
